Chapter 96: Xia Wanqing

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Xia Wanqing

[Congratulations to the host for winning the Power of Lao Ai through the draw.]

[Power of Lao Ai (Special Skill): The true pinnacle of humanity, bar none.]

Su Yunzhou’s pupils trembled. This brief and concise description precisely proved its uniqueness.

Lao Ai, this legendary man in history. He had heard a friend who loved unofficial history talk about him. Setting aside all the messy and absurd things Lao Ai had done, he had one particular strength. It was known to all.

Immediately after, Su Yunzhou felt a mysterious power rising from his dantian, surging toward his limbs and bones. This unparalleled power brought a tingling sensation wherever it passed.

But in the next second, a sudden mutation occurred. The mysterious power suddenly became explosive, as if it were going to burst all the meridians in his body! This tearing pain made him gasp. Then, under the impact of this immense agony, he fainted...

He didn’t know how long had passed. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the wooden floor. A sticky sensation on his body made him extremely uncomfortable.

After getting up, he realized his skin was covered in a layer of stinky, black mud-like grime. As a veteran bookworm who loved reading on novel sites, he naturally knew what this meant. But the question was, wasn’t the ’Power of Lao Ai’ just for increasing size, strength, and girth? Why did it also strengthen his body?

His considerate little helper, Tong, immediately provided an explanation.

After hearing it, Su Yunzhou finally realized what kind of dumb luck he had stumbled into. Although Lao Ai went down in history for leaving a foul reputation for thousands of years, he possessed formidable martial prowess and political acumen in addition to his mastery of bedroom arts. In that era, no one who could step onto the front stage was a simpleton.

Therefore, the ’Power of Lao Ai’ not only enhanced Su Yunzhou’s "specialty," but also proportionately boosted his physical stamina, strength, and other attributes. These effects far surpassed that so-called peak physical stamina of Qingshui Jian.

Ultimately, it was a matter of cultural heritage. A mere you-know-who from Dragon Country was more than enough to crush the Little Lives’ pinnacle.

Ten minutes later.

Su Yunzhou stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and revitalized. He felt boundlessly energetic—it had been a long time since he was in such a state. Brimming with vitality and completely at ease, this formed a stark contrast to his exhaustion upon waking up that morning.

From now on... Heh. As long as he wanted to, not a single woman would be able to walk out of his bed on her own two feet. It was just that domineering.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. His phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw an unknown number. Glancing at the time on the screen, he realized he had been unconscious for over an hour. A little red dot showed there were three other missed calls from this same number.

Upon answering, a pleasant female voice came through the receiver.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Su Yunzhou?"

"Yes! And you are?"

"My name is Xia Wanqing. Madam Ye mentioned that you are interested in buying a house..."

So it was about that. They acted quite fast!

The two of them briefly communicated their situations and thoughts over the phone, and both sides were quite satisfied. After hanging up, Su Yunzhou returned to the hotel in high spirits. He changed his clothes and drove to the location Xia Wanqing had sent him—the Hidden Cyan Residence.

On the way, Su Yunzhou looked it up online. The Hidden Cyan Residence was located on the 2.5 Ring Road. The transportation was convenient, the surrounding facilities were complete, and there was a very large park right next to it. Looking at the map, it was indeed a great place to live. Of course, the housing prices were equally steep. The current unit price was 39,000 yuan per square meter, and that was after the housing prices had dropped this year. At its peak, this place had cost around 45,000 to 46,000 yuan.

Half an hour later.

Su Yunzhou arrived near the residential compound. Since there was still some time before their appointment, he simply parked his car in a curbside spot and strolled leisurely toward the Hidden Cyan Residence, casually looking around the neighborhood.

The nearby shops all looked very upscale. Even the fruit shop at the corner of the street was a branded chain, kept spotlessly clean. There was a Starbucks Reserve store up ahead.

A few minutes later.

Su Yunzhou walked out of the shop carrying a kraft paper bag. It was about time. He followed the navigation and strolled over to the entrance of the Hidden Cyan Residence.

The main gate of the compound was spacious, open, and majestic. Several energetic young security guards stood perfectly straight. It was often said that the age of the security guards determined the quality of the residential area. Judging from this point alone, the Hidden Cyan Residence was worthy of its unit price of 39,000 yuan per square meter.

Su Yunzhou took out his phone and called Xia Wanqing, telling her he was at the compound’s main gate.

About five minutes later.

A graceful and charming woman appeared behind the security barrier. She had exquisite facial features, though her brows carried a hint of unshakable sorrow. She wore a long black skirt with a white cotton shirt layered over it. Her chest wasn’t large, but her proportions were well-balanced. Her hips were full and round, and beneath the skirt, her calves were slender and long—she looked just like someone who had walked straight out of a Japanese manga...

But the rarest thing was her temperament. She exuded an aura like a solitary orchid in an empty valley—elegant, serene, and unworldly.

[Mature Woman successfully bound.]

[Name: Xia Wanqing]

[Stats: 33, 165, 102, 87, 61, 89]

[Affinity toward Host: 5]

[Friendly Reminder: The bound target possesses extraordinary business talent but has fallen into massive debt due to family reasons. She likes night cycling on the greenway, which is also her favorite way to vent.]

Su Yunzhou looked at the system prompt and the beautiful silhouette walking up to him. He thought to himself, "It seems I definitely have to buy this house!"

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Su Yunzhou?" Xia Wanqing’s voice was melodious as she sized up the handsome young man in front of her.

Su Yunzhou smiled and nodded, handing over the Starbucks bag. "I bought some coffee on the way. I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I ordered a low-sugar latte."

"Thank you!" Xia Wanqing accepted the bag politely, then made an inviting gesture. "Please follow me! I’ll take you to see the house."

The environment inside the compound was elegant and quiet, with lush greenery. The distance between buildings was quite wide, providing a good view. It had everything one could need—a basketball court, a small playground, a swimming pool, and gardens—perfectly matching the style of a high-end community.

Xia Wanqing first led Su Yunzhou around the compound for a half-circle before taking him to Building 6. This building only had six floors. Its exterior looked neat and grand.

Xia Wanqing swiped open the access control, revealing the elevator right ahead. After the two entered, she pressed the button for the sixth floor. "Mr. Su, there are two units per floor sharing one elevator here. It’s very convenient for coming and going."

"Mm." Su Yunzhou gave a sound of acknowledgment. He was very satisfied with the landscaping and facilities of the compound. His parents would surely love taking walks here after dinner!

The elevator doors opened. The two stepped out.

Xia Wanqing stopped at the entrance of Room 601. She reached out her slender, fair hand and gently pulled the handle of the electronic lock.

CLICK.

The password was successfully verified. The door opened.

What met the eye was a simple and elegant foyer. Taking a few steps forward, they arrived at the living room area. The living room was bright and minimally decorated. A transparent floor-to-ceiling window offered a very beautiful view outside. Dappled, colorful sunlight shone in through the glass, casting a gorgeous sheen across the wooden floor like a layer of wax.

Xia Wanqing introduced it as they walked, "Mr. Su, this is a fully furnished three-bedroom, two-living-room, four-bathroom apartment. No one has lived here since it was bought. The usable area is 138 square meters..."

"Mm!" Su Yunzhou listened attentively and glanced around. Without furniture, it looked even more spacious. His gaze was drawn to the sun-drenched terrace.

Xia Wanqing recalled, "Mr. Su, when I bought this house back then, it was because of this terrace. I originally wanted to turn it into a rooftop garden, but I never expected..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yunzhou, meanwhile, walked out onto the terrace. The warm sunlight and a gentle breeze brushed against his face. This place was absolutely perfect for a rooftop garden. Put down two lounge chairs, and the old couple could drink tea and bask in the sun—it would be wonderfully relaxing.

Su Yunzhou looked straight at the woman with sorrow in the corners of her eyes and said something that made Xia Wanqing’s Affinity skyrocket by 5 points.

"The terrace is indeed very touching. I’ll take this house!"
