Chapter 45 -42 Is it dark?_1
Lu Yue, who was pushed aside, originally had a baffled expression, but after hearing what Xue Lin said, he leaned over to look at the phone, then back at Feng Yi, then at the phone again, and suddenly leaped up, pointing at Feng Yi, “Holy cow! The guy who single-handedly drove up the housing prices around Yue Mountain is you, kid!”
Feng Yi, “Don’t talk nonsense! It wasn’t me! The one who drove up the housing prices was Xiao Qinglong!”
“You’re definitely Yue Mountain’s Brother Se, right? Don’t deny it! My cousin is best at sketching people, so he’s super accurate at recognizing them! Even if you wear a mask, he could still identify you!” Lu Yue clamored.
Confronted with Xue Lin’s certain gaze, Feng Yi braced himself and said, “It’s me.”
Lu Yue pointed at Feng Yi, “You, kid… awesome!”
This was the second time Lu Yue said that. Feng Yi was just too secretive, and everything he did was beyond imagination! Not only was he able to identify snake skin with his superhuman sense of smell and earn 20 million yuan from their hands, but he also managed to enhance the global reputation of Yue Mountain by handling Xiao Qinglong with his own two hands!
No ordinary person could accomplish that!
Lu Yue knew how popular the photo was. He even discussed it with some friends at a dinner, where someone said that “Brother Se’s” way of handling snakes showed he must come from a family of snake breeders or catchers.
At that time, Lu Yue didn’t take it seriously, but now he was somewhat convinced. Someone who could spot the difference between real and fake snake skin at a glance and handle snakes as easily as if they were earthworms must come from a family background related to snakes! They either bred snakes, caught them, or specialized in studying them!
Lu Yue wanted to ask more questions, but Xue Lin pushed him aside.
“I have a particularly strong memory of this photograph,” Xue Lin said solemnly.
Lu Yue interjected, “Is it because you sensed the monarch’s aura of Yue Mountain’s Brother Se?”
“No, I think this photo lacks Spiritual Energy, making the person look too stiff and rigid,” Xue Lin frowned, as if he disapproved of the photographer’s skills.
Feng Yi, “…”, actually, I was just that stiff and rigid! Can’t blame the photographer!
“However, the way you handled the snake just now was filled with Spiritual Energy, it’s just that the snake itself was too ordinary, lacking the aggressive impact of Xiao Qinglong. Sigh! I should’ve gone over and taken a look when I had the chance!”
After sighing, Xue Lin looked forward to Feng Yi, “Could you handle Xiao Qinglong again?”
Feng Yi, “I can’t.”
Xue Lin, “Ah!!!”
With that tone and attitude, Lu Yue watched, feeling like he’d missed out on a huge opportunity.
Not wanting to continue discussing “Yue Mountain’s Brother Se,” Feng Yi asked about the house, when the transaction could take place, and what other details to be aware of.
Lu Yue watched the two discuss the house, his mind whirling.
Linking “Yue Mountain’s Brother Se” with Feng Yi buying a house…
His business sense told him there was more to it than met the eye.
So, when Xue Lin went to the restroom, Lu Yue asked Feng Yi, “Is there really some geomantic treasure here? Feng Yi, we’ve known each other for so long, and we’ll continue to work together, we’re acquaintances, I consider you a friend. If there’s any benefit or news you come across, don’t forget about Brother Lu. I promise not to spread the word!”
Feng Yi said helplessly, “There’s really nothing. I just want to find a quiet place to live. Brother Lu, you know my sense of smell is different from others; it’s uncomfortable when it’s crowded and the environment is complex. Before, I didn’t have money, but now that I do, shouldn’t I make myself comfortable?”
Lu Yue nodded. This explanation made some sense.
But still not entirely convinced, “Do you really not have the ability to ascertain geomancy?”
Feng Yi, “Believe in science, oppose superstition!”
Lu Yue clicked his tongue.
Those in business, more or less, had some thoughts about this kind of thing. Like their company, even the placement of potted plants was considered. He himself had even placed a Wealth God statue at home!
Feng Yi discussed the housing transaction details with Xue Lin. Xue Lin didn’t overthink like Lu Yue and offered a reasonable price. Even if the housing prices in the Yue Mountain area had risen, it wasn’t beyond Feng Yi’s capacity.
However, they didn’t go to handle the transfer procedures right away. Xue Lin still advised Feng Yi to consider it more, since Xue Lin himself wasn’t comfortable living there.
After a moment of thought, Feng Yi said, “How about this, I see the house has water and electricity, and the basic furniture is here. I’ll just sleep here and try it out. If I think it’s fine, we’ll contact you in three days to handle the transfer procedures.”
“No problem,” Xue Lin thought it was fine since no one was living there anyway. Letting Feng Yi try living there for three days wouldn’t affect him much, and if he couldn’t sell it, it was fine to just let it sit. He couldn’t scam people after all.
All the important items had been moved out of the house, so there was nothing to worry about. Xue Lin handed over the keys and the access card to the neighborhood gate to Feng Yi directly.
After Xue Lin and Lu Yue left, Feng Yi went to look for a place to eat nearby, as well as to buy some simple living supplies. He also went to an outdoor store to purchase a sleeping bag and a tent.
To guard against the mist and moisture that might appear in the middle of the night, Feng Yi set up a simple tent in the yard. He might be the only one with a villa who still slept on the ground outside.
He woke up the next day, and nothing had happened.
“It doesn’t happen regularly?”
Feng Yi couldn’t find a pattern and decided to leave the matter be for the time being since he was going to spend the nights here anyway.
After jogging around the area and familiarizing himself with the surroundings, Feng Yi was quite satisfied with the house’s “seclusion” and decided to buy it.
However, the apartment in the city meant something different to him, so he had to tie up loose ends before moving out.
On his way back to the neighborhood, Feng Yi bought a bunch of repair supplies. It seemed that he couldn’t invite people over to fix the house that looked like it had been waterlogged; any professional could tell there was something off about the moisture in the house, so he had to do it himself.
Feng Yi joked to himself: After evolving, I not only learned how to catch mice and snakes, but also how to repair houses and furniture!
Looking at the dire state of the house, Feng Yi sighed internally, but he knew that this place was his hard work through and through, every bit filled with the breath of his struggles. Before moving, he had to tidy it up.
Feeling artistic for a moment, Feng Yi set aside other emotions and got busy.

He opened the tools and followed the steps he found online, carefully taking care of each item.
Once he got busy, he lost track of time. But Feng Yi felt energetic today and wasn’t sleepy at all. He even forgot about hunger.
Until he received a message from Wu Ji—
[Are you asleep? If not, I can bring you some midnight snacks. I just cooked some tea eggs at the shop.]
Feng Yi replied: [No, I’m busy repairing furniture.]
Perhaps because he was so engrossed in furniture repair, his mind didn’t switch gears, and Feng Yi didn’t even pay attention to the information conveyed in Wu Ji’s message.
A while later, the doorbell rang.
Feng Yi was using tools to draw out the moisture from the wall, hastening its drying process. Hearing the doorbell, he put down the tools and went to open the door.
Wu Ji was holding a thermal container, the aroma of tea eggs triggering Feng Yi’s hunger.
“I saved ten for you,” Wu Ji handed over the container.
Seeing the dust and stains on Feng Yi’s clothes, Wu Ji asked, “How’s the situation over here? Can you fix it?”
“I’ll try my best. The more I can fix, the better,” Feng Yi said.
“Hey, at least there wasn’t an electrical fire, and nobody got hurt, which is what matters most. Didn’t you say you made some money? You could just renovate and buy all new stuff.”
Wu Ji glanced past Feng Yi into the house, “It’s so dark you can’t even see anything. How are you repairing the furniture? Your electricity isn’t malfunctioning, is it?”
As he spoke, he reached out to press the light switch on the wall near the entrance.
With a press, the light came on.
Wu Ji turned his head and looked at Feng Yi quietly, as if he were looking at an idiot.
Feng Yi: ???
It got dark?
I didn’t turn on the light?
