Chapter 43: The Young Rich Widow

  Back home, it was already past nine o'clock. Previously, Zhao Yang had spent three to four hours at the lake shore refining the spiritual energy released by that thousand-year-old ancient tree.

  Nowadays, his cultivation has finally broken through to the 'Condensing Qi Stage', Zhao Yang can be said to be refreshed and spirited, with a hundredfold increase in spirit.

  While munching on a bun and sipping soy milk, Zhao Yang pushed open the door to find Lin Xueqi sitting on the couch with her computer, who stretched out one hand and said, "Mine?"

  "Here, you can't miss out on this!" Zhao Yang casually handed a bag of packed xiaolongbao to Lin Xueqi.

  "Hehe, thanks!" Lin Xueqi giggled and took the package, immediately opening the soy milk inside and sucking on the straw for two mouthfuls before taking out a small steamed bun and biting into it with relish.

  "By the way, Zhao Yang, those things you asked me to help you deal with last time have all been sold, and the money was transferred to your account yesterday. You should come over and check." Lin Xueqi said while eating a bun.

  "Oh, okay." Zhao Yang nodded and sat down beside Lin Xueqi.

  "Here, take it." Lin Xueqi tossed the laptop on her lap to Zhao Yang.

  Although he had spent more than 500 years in the "local fairyland", Zhao Yang slowly adapted to modern life, and the memories that were originally buried deep in his mind also became clear. He was no stranger to computers either. He skillfully opened the online banking webpage, then entered the bank card account number and password to check his account.

  After paying tuition fees, there were less than 5,000 yuan left in the bank card. Now it has become a six-digit number, with a total of nearly 120,000 dollars inside.

  "Those things were sold for a total of 110,000 yuan. They have all been deposited into your account, right?" Lin Xueqi asked beside him.

  "Uh-huh. That's right." Zhao Yang nodded in confirmation.

  "That's right." Lin Xueqi responded, and then said: "Zhao Yang, I think you've made a fortune now, so shouldn't you buy a mobile phone? Without a mobile phone, it's hard to get in touch with you normally."

  Zhao Yang shrugged and said, "Let's talk about it later. I still have other uses for this money, if there's any left over, we can buy a cell phone then."

  As for the use of this money, Zhao Yang had already made plans. Now that his cultivation has successfully broken through to the 'Condensing Qi Stage', this sum of money also has a place to be used.

  "The Condensation Period" is not yet considered to be truly entering the threshold of a Cultivator, but it can already roughly utilize some methods belonging to Cultivators. However, it still needs to rely on some external objects to do so.

  Zhao Yang had already thought of it, as long as his cultivation reached the 'Condensation Period', he would find a way to get some money to buy a batch of high-quality jade stones to set up the 'Spirit Gathering Array'.

  The spiritual energy on earth is really too thin, if not with the help of 'spirit gathering array' and other external forces to assist in cultivation, I'm afraid that even if one exhausts their entire life's effort, they will still be unable to truly achieve anything.

  Apart from buying jade, Zhao Yang also planned to go to the antique market again to see if he could find any other treasures.

  "What are you going to do? Is this money enough? If it's not enough, I have some more here..." Lin Xueqi asked.

  Zhao Yang glanced at her and smiled, saying: "It should be enough. If it's not enough, I'll ask you again later."

  Zhao Yang did not directly refuse Lin Xueqi's kindness, but said a sentence in such a tactful way. If he refused too directly and bluntly, it would seem too estranged.

  "Uh-huh. Alright, if you really can't afford it, just let me know, I don't dare to say more, but 200-300 thousand is still manageable." Lin Xueqi nodded and said.

  Zhao Yang couldn't help but smile and teased: "Wow, I didn't expect it, Lin Xue is actually a young rich lady!"

  Seeing Zhao Yang's teasing, Lin Xueqi also smiled and said: "Yes, yes. How about it? If not, this rich woman will support you, guaranteeing you eat well and drink well!"

  As they spoke, Lin Xueqi giggled and stretched out a tender white finger to lightly poke Zhao Yang's chest muscles twice, with a flirtatious expression.

  Zhao Yang rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Great, great. Being supported by Lin Xuejia, such a beautiful woman, getting both wealth and beauty, who wouldn't agree? Asking to be supported! Can cook, can make dishes, can wash bowls, can warm the bed..."

  "Get out! You think you can take advantage of me? No way! I'm not that stupid, if someone wants to keep me as a mistress, they'd go for those strong and muscular guys, who'd want to keep you, a scrawny weakling like you?" Lin Xueqi gave Zhao Yang a cold glance.

  "Cut! What a load of crap about muscular guys, they're all show and no go, useless goods." Zhao Yang curled his lip in disdain.

  "Oh, oh, it's really getting exciting! Are you going to say that your abilities are super strong, a one-night-seven-times hero, an invincible golden gun..." As she spoke, Lin Xueqi herself couldn't help but blush.

  Zhao Yang's face was thick-skinned, and he joked: "How did Lin Xue know? It seems that Lin Xue is indeed the worm in my stomach, I think about what I want to do, and she knows it all. This is a great fate, if Lin Xue doesn't support me, it would be a waste of heaven and earth..."

  "Go, go! The more you talk, the more it doesn't make sense. I'm too lazy to bother with you!" Lin Xueqi's face turned red as she sat to one side, creating some distance between herself and Zhao Yang, then continued eating her baozi.

  Zhao Yang glanced at Lin Xueqi, chuckled and closed the online banking login interface with a wave of his hand. Then he opened Penguin again and logged in to the account that Mu Qinglan had helped him apply for last time.

  This was Zhao Yang's first time logging into this account, and there was only one friend added, named 'Shallow Smile', who should be Mu Qinglan.

  Lin Xueqi had opened up a bit, but she could still see the computer and saw Zhao Yang log in to Penguin, her eyes occasionally glancing over.

  Zhao Yang had only remembered the QQ account Mu Qinglan helped him register because he was holding his computer, so he logged in to take a look, but just as he was about to close it, a "ding" sound suddenly rang out, and the avatar of "Shallow Smile" kept flashing in his friend list.

  "Zhao Yang, how come you logged in to Penguin today? Are you surfing the internet at an internet cafe now?"

  Seeing the information in the dialogue box, Zhao Yang couldn't help but respond with a sentence, "Are you Qing Lan?"

  Next to him, Lin Xueqi also heard the sound of Penguin information and couldn't help but lean in closer. Seeing the content of Zhao Yang's penguin dialogue box, she said with a smile: "Wow, wow, who is this beauty? Pretty good, huh? Already knows how to online date! And calls Qing Lan, so affectionate!"

  Zhao Yang slightly turned his head and glanced at Lin Xueqi, saying: "Lin senior sister, you wouldn't be jealous, would you? Just now I let you keep me as a dependent, but you didn't want to. Now that I'm chatting with someone else, you won't even allow it?"

  "Get out! Who would be jealous of you? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. I've never seen anyone as self-obsessed as you." Lin Xueqi retorted.

  Zhao Yang shrugged his shoulders. "If you don't eat vinegar, then just don't eat it. Why are you in such a hurry to explain? Haven't you heard that explaining is equivalent to covering up?"

  Lin Xueqi rolled her eyes and gave Zhao Yang a big, disdainful look. "I'm too lazy to bother with you, anyway your face is as thick as the city wall, who can outdo you?"

  Although she said that, Lin Xueqi continued to lean in beside Zhao Yang and stared at the computer screen, looking at the contents of Zhao Yang's QQ chat window...
