Entrusted by Gu Liyan, Fatty searched all over the central city and finally found a quiet and comfortable house. Most importantly, it met Gu Liyan's requirements - it was big enough!
only
Looking at the empty, sprawling mansion before me, a gust of wind carried a chilling coldness that made my skin feel icy cold, sending shivers down my spine!
Is there really no problem here?
The fat man immediately dismissed the idea – after all, Gu Liyan was there! What was there to be afraid of?
Who is Gu Liyan? No! He's not human! He's a fox spirit! How could he be afraid of a haunted house? What demons and monsters wouldn't give him a wide berth?
Moreover, the fox spirit Gu Liyan has instructed that it must be big! The bigger the better!
The fat man squinted, looking at the house that resembled a haunted house, and felt relieved.
Anyway, as long as it's big, that's all that matters! The adults won't care about this eerie wind!
The fat man was still a little curious: what did Gu Liyan need such a big mansion for? It would be a complete waste if the two of them really lived here! Besides, the house price was really expensive!
Thinking that most of the gold leaves Gu Liyan had given him were about to be gone, the fat man felt a pang of heartache and stood there for a long time, feeling sorry for himself.
Just as the fat man was feeling the pinch of the money in his pocket, the landlady next to him looked at him suspiciously as he hesitated to nod. His dirty appearance made it hard to believe he could afford the rent.
At that moment, he spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Hey young man, if you think the price is too high, just say so. Don't waste my time here! There's a small house for sale next door. Why don't you go check it out?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, the fat man immediately became furious: "You don't have to be so mean when you look down on someone!"
Although Fatty has been following Gu Liyan and becoming his servant, he is not a Buddhist-like fat man. He has a bad temper!
He jumped up in a rage, pointing at the landlady and yelling:
"Look, look! I think this house will become a haunted house if no one lives here soon! And you still dare to rent it out? Do you really think I'm stupid and don't understand feng shui? You dare to fool your grandpa? You're tired of living!"
Upon hearing what the fat man said, the landlady's expression suddenly changed, and she tentatively asked, "You, you're a feng shui master?"
The fat man straightened his clothes and nodded. "Nonsense! If I weren't a feng shui master, you would have really fooled me! You, Fatty, are quite famous. I came here today to check out this auspicious feng shui site. Wouldn't it be a joke if you, a woman, fooled me!"
"Oh, so you're a feng shui master! I was blind to your greatness. Look at my ancestral home, it's so big, but now it's just sitting empty because it's too big and no one rents it out. Master, how about I give you some money and you take a look and see if there's a problem with the feng shui here?" As soon as the landlady heard that the fat man was a feng shui master, she immediately changed her tone and put on a fawning smile.
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard the landlord's words: Wow! There's business coming to our doorstep!
The fat man quickly concealed his joy, cleared his throat symbolically, and began to ramble on in a serious tone:
"Ahem, I see that your house has been empty for too long and has no vitality. It seems that someone really needs to bring life back to your house."
The landlady nodded repeatedly, "Master, you're right."
The fat man said with a serious expression, "I see that your house has been rented out for quite some time. I suppose it hasn't been rented out due to various factors?"
The landlady sighed helplessly, "Yes, my son is in a hurry to get married, but this place can't be used as a new house. I can only rent it out or sell it, but I can't even rent it out, let alone sell it. There's really no other way!"
The fat man squinted and said, "I happen to need a place to live. How about I, your fat master, am the one who cultivates the aura of a dwelling? After the aura is cultivated, you can take it back to rent or sell it, how about that?"
Upon hearing the fat man's words, the landlady's face immediately lit up with joy, and she said, "That's wonderful, thank you so much, Master!"
The fat man squinted and chuckled, "Alright, let's talk about the compensation for keeping this house alive!"
The landlady had heard of the feng shui master's abilities and readily agreed. She had originally planned to rent it out to make money, but unexpectedly, meeting the fat man meant she ended up losing money!
After seeing the landlady off, the fat man weighed the money bag in his hand and couldn't help but laugh:
"Looks like my conning skills are getting better and better!"
—On the other side
Looking out the window at the perpetually dark night, Gu Liyan had no idea what time it was. Feeling tired from his cultivation, he was just about to rest when the door was suddenly kicked open—
Gu Liyan was startled and immediately tensed up, watching the newcomer warily. After seeing the fat face clearly, he immediately cursed angrily, "You fat bastard, can't you stop being so jumpy!"
In his excitement, the fat man forgot that Gu Liyan's temper was selective; for example, he himself immediately became embarrassed and his expression darkened.
"Sir... I'm so sorry to disturb your rest. I... I was just too excited and couldn't help myself. Please forgive me!"
Gu Liyan glared at the fat man. "Tell me, what's wrong with you? You've been in such a panic these past two days, and now you're kicking the door in a fit of excitement. If you can't explain yourself, don't even think about eating today!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, the fat man felt a wave of fear. He was the type who would get hungry if he didn't eat a meal, and not letting him eat would be a death sentence!
So, the fat man put away his joking face and said respectfully, "Sir, I've found a house! It's huge! Absolutely huge! Super huge!"
