Xie Xuzhi, who has always been calm, unconsciously gripped the docunts harder upon hearing Yun Ran’s words, leaving deep marks on the paper.
"You didn’t see it wrong?"
Yun Ran picked up a fruit that was placed next to her and took a bite, found it overly sweet, and imdiately put it back.
However, her indifferent manner sowhat relaxed Xie Xuzhi.
"The pool below is indeed dark, but as a person from Xuan Sect, I have good eyesight. Moreover, this Dragon Vein is not dead yet, though it might as well be - it’s barely hanging on."
Xie Xuzhi’s eyes flashed with a glimr of excitent: "Are you serious!"
Yun Ran, being so close to him, naturally felt Xie Xuzhi’s emotional fluctuations and imdiately understood why he was excited since she recalled he lived here.
"It seems that the person who extended your life before was a true expert, using the Dragon Vein to sustain you. No wonder you no longer attack people."
Watching Yun Ran guess the secret of his past life extension after only a few words, Xie Xuzhi’s eyes showed a trace of complexity.
Although he had thoroughly investigated Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi’s trust in her was still limited.
Sotis, he still suspected that Yun Ran was soone deliberately sent to him.
However, even though Yun Ran knew this secret, he harbored no intentions of killing her.
"Is there a way to save the Dragon Vein?"
The air conditioning in the room was set to a constant temperature, but Yun Ran was still soaking wet, feeling sticky all over.
Talking about saving the Dragon Vein could take a while, and she definitely did not want to stay uncomfortable.
"I’m going to change my clothes first!"
Saying so, Yun Ran unceremoniously stood up and headed to the place she had washed up last ti, her familiarity making even soone like Xie Xuzhi feel a bit helpless.
After filling the bathtub with water, Yun Ran soaked in it, not only lighting so aromatherapy but also playing relaxing music.
In such a state, she hardly looked hurried; anyone unaware might think she was here to enjoy herself.
[Host, are you not afraid that Xie Xuzhi will get angry?]
"You don’t understand, this is called ’if you’re too eager, it’s not good business.’ I’ve cast the bait; now I need to give him so ti to consider his options."
Saving the Dragon Vein isn’t sothing that can be done just by talking it through; if she was to help, naturally, the terms need to be negotiated well—she isn’t soone to suffer a loss.
After a comfortable soak, Yun Ran leisurely began to take care of her hair. By the ti she finished the entire process, an hour had already passed.
If it weren’t for this being Xie Xuzhi’s territory, Yun Ran would have definitely ordered a full-body SPA.
When Yun Ran returned, Xie Xuzhi had already prepared a lavish lunch, all her favorites.
"Wow, didn’t expect that Director Xie, busy as he is, would have such a thoughtful day, still rembering what I like to eat."
Xie Xuzhi looked up at Yun Ran and obviously felt there was no need to tell her about his exceptional mory.
Yun Ran didn’t hesitate, imdiately sitting down and began to eat heartily. Although she ate quickly, she wasn’t rude but rather made the food seem even more appetizing.
After finally satisfying her hunger, soone imdiately ca to clean up, and that’s when Yun Ran noticed another stack of docunts on Xie Xuzhi’s desk.
Before she could look away, Xie Xuzhi pushed the stack of docunts she had seen earlier towards her.
"Revive the Dragon Vein, all these items will be yours!"
Such words were probably Yun Ran’s favorite to hear. She imdiately reached out to receive, and then opened the docunt folder to look.
It turned out to be so property transfer agreents, especially seeing that so were properties that were leased and not sold.
Yun Ran’s face broke into a wide grin at once.
"Oh, we’re all on the sa side here, no need for such formalities. However, since you’re so sincere, I can’t refuse. I’ll reluctantly accept."
Ginsengfruit...
Although it knew that sotis the Host’s faces were quite ’ugly,’ hearing such words again made it, the System, want to bury its head.
Xie Xuzhi seed to have gotten used to Yun Ran’s thick-skinned behavior and didn’t react much.
"Are these enough?"
After a quick glance, these properties totaled twenty units, each of which was worth tens of millions.
That ant, by simply signing her na, she would beco a landlord with twenty properties, worth at least several billion on paper.
Compared to the Yun Family or the Xie Family, this was trifling. But for a ’master’ working for money, it was more than worth it.
After all, even if Xie Xuzhi was filthy rich, he wasn’t a fool to be easily duped. She was a person with keen eyesight, not greedy at all, and knew when to stop.
"Enough, enough. I’m a man of integrity, treating everyone fairly. I hope Director Xie will introduce more business in the future."
Now, Xie Xuzhi felt sowhat uncomfortable with Yun Ran’s too tily compliance.
Fortunately, Yun Ran knew not to overdo things. Flattery was okay, but it shouldn’t be incessant.
She imdiately redirected the conversation to the Dragon Vein.
"To save this Dragon Vein, the thod is quite straightforward. Just destroy the Sacrificial Array at the Bottom of the Pool, remove and properly place the bones underneath, and set up several feng shui arrays. It could recover in a hundred and eighty years."
Xie Xuzhi: ...
A hundred and eighty years? Haha!
"That’s too long!"
Yun Ran was unconcerned with Xie Xuzhi’s dissatisfaction; what she ntioned was the normal recovery ti.
The Dragon Vein was closely related to the ecological environnt. Once damaged, it indeed needed that much ti to naturally recover.
Of course, if one wanted to accelerate the process, it would require so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Human intervention could work, but the cost would be significant.
"If we could find so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that aid the recovery of the Dragon Vein, coupled with the support from the Array, and the Spiritual Energy from the Xuann people, the ti could be reduced to a dozen years."
Xie Xuzhi looked at Yun Ran sowhat speechlessly. Since Yun Ran had guessed why he wanted to save the Dragon Vein, where could he possibly wait that long?
Yun Ran caught Xie Xuzhi’s look and stopped being clever imdiately.
She straightened her attitude: "I have already helped you extend your life once. If we add Dragon Breath, it would be two or three decades, which you can afford to wait.
We could negotiate with the Dragon Vein, save it, and in exchange have it offer its Dragon Breath. It certainly would agree.
The difficulty lies in, how can you ensure that during these years of the Dragon Vein’s recovery, it remains safe?
Whoever set up the Sacrificial Array definitely won’t sit idly by watching us save it. I was already severely injured before; if another wave of experts cos, I simply won’t hold up."
