Chapter 50 You want to buy my courtyard? No, you want to buy a celestial palace!
Upon hearing Lin Fan's instructions, Fang Qingxue dried her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
"Sir, who is this guest?"
Her voice was cool and clear, tinged with a hint of doubt.
After returning, Li Zhenguo used the pretext of "military exercises" to effectively block off the entire alley.
Now, let alone a person, even a fly would have to ask the plainclothes officers on the perimeter for permission to fly in.
"A blond, blue-eyed foreigner was standing at the entrance of the alley."
Lin Fan leaned back in his recliner, pointed to the door, and spoke in a lazy tone.
"Go and see, just deal with the salespeople, but if they come to beg for food, give them two steamed buns."
Fang Qingxue fell silent.
The gentleman's way of thinking is always so...unconventional.
Driving a Rolls-Royce and accompanied by bodyguards to beg for food?
She didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded and walked lightly toward the courtyard gate.
She was also very curious about who this person was, and how they could have slipped through Li Zhenguo's blockade and gotten here so quietly.
"Squeak—"
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
Fang Qingxue looked up and immediately saw the man in the alley.
He stood there, seemingly the center of the entire space, his extraordinary presence completely out of place with the surrounding mundane atmosphere.
Loki also saw Fang Qingxue.
The moment the woman pushed open the door, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Such incredible power!
This power is condensed, pure, and has even begun to transform towards a higher level!
This is a leap in the essence of life!
A powerhouse of this caliber would be enough to serve as Valkyrie's lieutenant, even in Asgard!
But now, she's just a maid who walked out of that courtyard?
Loki's heart sank lower and lower.
He realized that he had made a disastrous misjudgment of the courtyard house and its owner.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Fang Qingxue spoke, her voice as cold as ice.
She also sensed that the handsome man before her was no ordinary person.
The inhuman aura emanating from him made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
Loki's perfect smile returned, and his tone was several times more humble than when he was facing Grandpa Wang.
"My name is Laufison. I am here with great honor, hoping to pay my respects to the owner of this courtyard, Mr. Lin Fan."
"Sir is unavailable."
Fang Qingxue's refusal was decisive and left no room for negotiation.
"What's wrong? Tell me."
In her eyes, anything that tries to disturb her husband's peace is an enemy.
Loki was not angry. He smiled and took out a pure black business card with gold foil from his pocket, presenting it with both hands.
"It's like this, Miss. I am a businessman, and more importantly, a collector. I hope to discuss a business deal with Mr. Lin."
"Business?"
Fang Qingxue lowered her eyes. The business card only had the name "Laufison" and an old-fashioned emblem, without even any contact information.
"Our husband doesn't do business."
As Fang Qingxue spoke, she was about to close the courtyard gate.
"Please wait a moment!"
Loki quickly spoke up, offering what he believed to be an offer no one could refuse.
"I am very sincere! I hope to acquire Mr. Lin's courtyard house. The price is open to Mr. Lin's discretion."
"One hundred million US dollars, one billion US dollars, or even more, it's not a problem!"
He firmly believed that money was the only measure of everything.
However, after listening to him, Fang Qingxue looked at him as if he were an ant trying to shake a tree.
"Acquire your property, sir?"
There was a hint of absurd coldness in her voice.
Do you even know what you're saying?
She finally understood why Grandpa Wang had laughed so heartily earlier.
"Sir, I advise you to leave immediately."
Fang Qingxue's tone was completely frozen.
"While our husband is in a relatively good mood right now."
"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
The words fell.
"Bang!"
The vermilion gates were slammed shut, separating the two worlds.
Loki stood frozen in front of the closed door, his smile shattering and vanishing completely.
His two "bodyguards" quickly stepped forward.
"Your Highness, the other party's attitude is very unfriendly. Should we force them...?"
One of them made a gesture as if breaking down a door.
"Shut up."
Loki interrupted coldly, his voice carrying a chilling edge.
"The two of you can't even beat that woman at the door, and you think you can just barge in?"
The two bodyguards trembled violently, their faces filled with horror.
They are elite warriors of Asgard! How could they... be unable to defeat even a mortal woman?
"This is not Asgard. Put away your ridiculous arrogance."
Loki's eyes were incredibly deep as he stared intently at the red-lacquered door.
It was at this moment that...
In the courtyard.
Lin Fan was holding his teacup, about to take another sip, when he suddenly realized the tea was getting cold.
He stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the side of the cup.
"Thump."
A soft sound, so faint it was almost inaudible.
However, this soft sound, when it reached Loki's ears outside the courtyard, was no less than the resounding bell of the beginning of the universe!
Do not!
That wasn't a sound!
That was a will! A terrifying will that defies description and transcends time and space, descending in an instant!
Loki felt as if he was no longer standing in an alley, but being pulled into an endless dark void.
His divinity trembled, his soul wailed!
A calm, yet indifferent gaze descended from the highest point of the void and landed on him.
There was no hostility or murderous intent in his gaze.
It was just a pure... gaze.
It's like a person looking down at their feet, and an ant that has accidentally crawled onto their shoe.
He couldn't even be bothered to crush it.
Because they don't deserve it.
"puff--"
Loki suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood, staggered backward, and his face turned ashen.
My back was already completely soaked with cold sweat.
He was wrong.
It was completely wrong from the very beginning.
He actually tried to use money to measure a great being whose very existence he could not comprehend.
What arrogance and folly!
"Walk!"
Loki didn't linger for a moment, turned around and left, his steps hurried, his back even showing a hint of panic.
This was the first time in his long life that he had felt fear without ever having fought it.
yard.
Lin Fan pursed his lips as he "heard" the hurried footsteps fading into the distance.
"They're gone already? They're so easily frightened."
He thought there would be some good show to watch.
As a result, before the tea had even cooled down, the person had vanished without a trace.
"Sir, that person is very strong."
Fang Qingxue walked back into the courtyard, her expression more solemn than ever before.
"He gives me the feeling that he is several times more dangerous than the previous 'Butcher' Gregory."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Fan nodded, completely unconcerned.
"Not human."
"Not human?" Fang Qingxue was taken aback.
"That weird, mystical smell about him is too overpowering." Lin Fan picked up his teacup and blew on the steam. "He's probably some wild spirit or monster that came out of some remote corner of the world, and he's never seen anything like it."
In his eyes, these so-called "gods" were no different in essence from the Xie Zhi he encountered in the Kunlun Mountains.
They are simply "animals" that have lived a little longer and have some special abilities.
Fang Qingxue was completely confused, but she knew that her husband's judgment was absolutely correct.
"So... what preparations do we need to make?" she asked, still worried.
That man named "Lofison" will not let this go.
"What are we preparing for? We'll deal with whatever comes our way." Lin Fan said nonchalantly. "If the sky falls, Li Zhenguo and the others will hold it up. They've taken so much military pay; they can't just eat and do nothing, can they?"
He has an excellent mindset right now.
They stay in their own little corner of the world and live their own quiet lives.
Anyone who bothers him will have their legs broken.
The reasoning is that simple.
"Oh, right," Lin Fan said to Fang Qingxue as if he had just remembered something, "go to the market tomorrow and buy more fresh meat."
"Buy meat?" Fang Qingxue asked, puzzled.
"Um."
Lin Fan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two towering sacred trees in the courtyard, and then looking at the glass tank he was using as a fish tank.
He touched his chin.
"I feel that this yard is a bit monotonous with just flowers, plants and fish."
"It's time to get...some other pets."
……
On the other side, on a private jet.
Loki didn't say a word, poured himself a full glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp.
The strong liquor went down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the trembling deep within his soul.
"Your Highness, what's next..." the deputy asked in a trembling voice.
He had never seen the god of trickery, known for his elegance and composure, so out of control.
"What's next?"
Loki slammed his glass down on the table, but his eyes gleamed with a morbid, manic excitement.
"Plans changed!"
"Trying to bribe him with money? That would be the stupidest mistake I've ever made!"
"That kind of being utterly disdains everything in the mortal world!"
"You want to talk business with him?"
Loki, looking like a madman, paced back and forth in the cabin, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.
"Are you worthy?!"
"We must change our strategy! We need to 'communicate' with him in a way that he can understand and cannot refuse!"
"Didn't he prefer to stay in his 'heavenly palace' and live like a hermit?"
"Then I will... turn this world into hell!"
"I will make all the slumbering pantheons and all the dormant extraordinary forces focus their attention on China, on that courtyard house!"
"I want the war to reach his doorstep!"
"I want to see if he can still sit peacefully in his yard, drinking tea and planting trees, when the whole world is thrown into chaos because of him!"
Loki's face was beaming with an extreme, fanatical smile.
"Go! Contact those arrogant fools on Olympus and tell them the time for 'judgment' has come!"
"Contact those greedy crocodiles on the banks of the Nile and tell them that the secret of 'immortality' lies in that Eastern courtyard!"
"And... all the remnants of the old era that we can contact!"
"Tell them!"
"An unprecedented feast is about to unfold in the East!"
"And I, Loki..."
"He will be the most glamorous host of this grand event!"
