Chapter 6: Liu Yingying

After several hours of cultivation practice, Su Jie opened his eyes again and looked at his own arm, which had undergone some changes.

Compared to the skin on other parts of his body, his two arms were noticeably fairer, possessing a sickly pallor, much like... the arm of a thousand-hand centipede.

With a light press of his palm on the box, he expelled a burst of force, and a dark green handprint immediately appeared on the wooden box. If it had been pressed on a human body, the poison would have instantly invaded the flesh.

"As expected of the Hundred Poison Refining Gu Scripture, now I can also inherit the special abilities of this lifebound poisonous insect."

Su Jie smiled at the corner of his mouth, urged his spiritual power, and then from his shoulders and ribs, his flesh split and eight pale arms took form and drilled out before detaching from the flesh and falling to the ground on their own.

The fallen arms spread their fingers, resembling swiftly scuttling spiders, with the part beyond the wrists arching high, moving nimbly following Su Jie's will.

Finally, the eight arms simultaneously grabbed a steel pipe and managed to bend it forcefully.

This is the way of a demon cultivator, no wonder they are shunned and despised in the Tianyuan World—such magic skills are indeed horrifying and chilling.

Su Jie, satisfied, ceased the supply of spiritual power, watching the eight arms quickly wither and disintegrate, unable to contain the joy on his face. The new ability of the thousand-hand centipede had also been inherited.

Today's gains were indeed too great, not only confirming the avenues for earning money in both worlds but also evolving the thousand-hand centipede to the stage of Low Grade First Refinement.

He furthermore confirmed that his approach was correct, that he could use the resources of Blue Star to assist in the practice of his cultivation technique.

"Hey, upstairs, what's with the ghostly laughter in the middle of the night, can't people sleep?"

Caught up in his excited laughter, Su Jie heard the complaints of other tenants from downstairs.

Without realizing it, his cultivation had taken him deep into the night.

"It looks like I need to find a new environment; this place isn't suitable for cultivation."

That thought crossed Su Jie's mind, noting that cultivating in a densely populated environment easily attracts unwanted attention.

...........

The next day!

Su Jie got out of bed and dressed neatly before going to the landlord to terminate his lease.

Ignoring the incessant chatter of the old man, Su Jie, with no luggage to pack, directly hailed a cab to the nearest 4S car dealership.

In the 4S store, Su Jie immediately set his sights on his target, paying over two million in full for a top-of-the-line BMW M8 with a temporary license plate, and driving off, all within less than twenty minutes.

So much so, the salesperson serving him was still in a daze even after Su Jie had left.

It was their first time seeing someone treat buying a car as nonchalantly as buying vegetables.

Having obtained his driver's license during university, Su Jie quickly got familiar with the vehicle and drove off swiftly.

After driving around Linping City for a while, Su Jie arrived at a real estate sales center.

Jingjiang Manor!

This was a well-known high-end residential complex in Lin'an City, with an average price per square meter that exceeded twenty thousand, and it was built in less than three years.

However, its fame didn't come from high prices but rather the opposite; due to a decline in housing prices in the past two years, the sales center began to discount and sell properties.

Early homebuyers were not pleased, gathering in large crowds to cause uproar at the sales center, making repeated appearances on Hannan Province's television news.

Nevertheless, no matter what, this residential complex was indeed one of the few with the highest property prices in Linping City.

Now that Su Jie wasn't short on money, naturally, he wouldn't shortchange himself; his first choice for buying a home would certainly be one of the finer options.

The BMW M8, priced over two million, was quite conspicuous. Salespeople, who are known to be observant, were quick to notice. As soon as Su Jie parked the car, several enthusiastic sales representatives rushed out from the sales office.

These sales representatives were polished in their appearance, both handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in high-end tailored suits, looking exceptionally professional.

"Sir, how may I help you?"

The sales reps clearly saw the BMW that Su Jie was driving, and their attitude became even more enthusiastic, hoping to earn a commission in the sluggish housing market.

"I'm here to buy a house, of course. Introduce me to the properties you have here. Hmm, I see you have detached villas for sale; let's start with those."

Su Jie got straight to the point, emphasizing his wealthy and bold demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of each sales rep lit up. That tone of voice was unmistakably that of a tycoon!

"Ahem, sir, let me take you to see them. I am very familiar with the community planning, building layouts, and pricing. I guarantee I can choose the most satisfactory property for you."

"What should I call you, sir? My name is Liu, you can just call me Xiao Liu. I'm mainly responsible for the villa sales in the eastern district. We happen to have several promotional villas on sale. Are you interested in learning more?"

The sales reps competed covertly, as Su Jie was a potential big deal. The commission from closing this deal could be enough to cover a year's salary.

More sales representatives crowded around, with several women in suits appearing particularly attentive, sending flirty glances his way.

Su Jie looked around and set his eyes on the most beautiful female sales rep in the place.

This sales representative was wearing a petite suit, tall and slender, standing at about 1.7 meters, with bright and attractive facial features, dignified and elegant, and with a beauty score above 90, was truly a rare beauty.

As it happened, Su Jie knew this saleswoman; her name was Liu Yingying.

During his college years at Linping City Finance and Economics University, Liu Yingying was a year ahead of Su Jie and was recognized as the prettiest girl in the finance department.

Su Jie remembered her, but she didn't remember him.

"You come and introduce it to me; the rest of you can disperse."

Pointing at Liu Yingying, Su Jie chose the eye-pleasing Liu Yingying.

The other sales reps were visibly disappointed. Su Jie's attitude made him seem like someone who wasn't short on cash, and the female reps were even more envious and resentful toward Liu Yingying.

"Sir, I will definitely serve you with sincerity. Let's go and see the properties in person, so you can get a more direct understanding of the value of the properties."

Liu Yingying was pleasantly surprised and proudly glanced back at the other female sales reps, smugly puffing out her chest, which annoyed them, internally cursing her as a seductive fox.

Coming out of the sales office, Su Jie looked at Liu Yingying, who was walking ahead with a light step and swaying peach-like hips, and smiled, asking, "Liu Yingying, no need to go to those ordinary villa areas. Where's the best villa you have here? Just take me straight there."

"Of course, sir. Eh, how do you know my name?"

Liu Yingying's beautiful eyes shone, and then she paused in confusion.

"What do you think?"

Su Jie pointed at her chest where two hefty pineapples lay, with her name tag hanging above them.

"Ahaha, I still don't know how to address you, sir. You seem to be about my age. My name is Liu Yingying; you can call me Xiao Liu, or Yingying if you like."

Liu Yingying brushed aside a strand of hair tousled by the wind, showing off her graceful figure and sweet smile.

"Su Jie. No need to be so formal with 'you.' If we're counting, I should probably be calling you 'Senior Sister Liu.'"

Su Jie walked beside Liu Yingying, teasingly said.
