Leng Qingmei’s heart suddenly felt flustered!
After Chen Nan became a fifth-level Yin Messenger.
She could clearly feel that Chen Nan’s attitude towards her had changed.
Before, he never showed her any kindness.
And he had toyed with her again and again.
He didn’t treat her like a person at all.
But after becoming a fifth-level Yin Messenger.
Not only had his attitude towards her changed.
He had even given her a priceless Soul Gathering Pill.
Not to mention how much effort he was putting in now.
Solely for the Leng family to win the contract for building the waterway terminal.
It is said that the heart is made of flesh.
How could she remain unmoved by Chen Nan’s actions?
Even if he had a thousand faults.
But as her sister had said.
Everything was her own fault.
Her heart was in turmoil.
Even when the lottery ended and Chen Nan announced that the Leng family had won the contract for building the waterway terminal.
She could only force a smile.
Because she had already joined the Anti-Heaven Cult.
As everyone dispersed, Chen Nan called Leng Qingmei to the county office and said seriously, "The imperial court has allocated two million taels of silver to build the waterway terminal, with a construction period of three months."
"No matter what, the Leng family must complete it within these three months."
Leng Qingmei said nervously, "A three-month construction period is a bit short, as we don't have the blueprints for the waterway terminal yet, and even if we design them, we need to get approval from the government..."
Before she could finish the word "approval."
Chen Nan produced a design drawing.
It not only showed the shape of the waterway terminal.
But also specified the materials to be used.
It was exceptionally detailed.
"I drew this overnight. As long as you build according to this."
"The task can still be completed within three months."
"Also, I’ve contacted a construction team for you."
"They performed excellently during the previous river excavation, you can work with them directly."
Chen Nan attended to every detail.
Removing Leng Qingmei’s worries.
It also made her feel a warmth within her heart.
A warmth she had never felt from Chen Nan before.
Her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why... why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"
Chen Nan sighed, "When Tongcheng encountered the flood, after I was struck by lightning and fell unconscious, I gradually understood a truth."
"Since we are alive, we must live well."
"Especially after I became a Yin Messenger."
"I realized one thing even more clearly."
"With great power comes great responsibility."
"If I can’t even protect the woman I deeply love."
"How can I protect the common people of the world?"
Leng Qingmei lowered her head, "But, I have thought of killing you more than once."
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I've also thought of killing you."
"But I couldn't bring myself to do it."
"Whether it's love."
"Or hate."
"Our fates have long been intertwined, haven't they?"
"Since that's the case, why can't we get along peacefully?"
"Why must we fight and kill?"
"Alright, enough about this."
"If you have any unresolved issues, come find me anytime."
"We are husband and wife, after all, don't be so formal."
Saying this, Chen Nan felt a little disgusted.
With his personality in his past life, he would never have said such subservient words.
But the host had a deep obsession with Leng Qingmei.
Since he had chosen this body,
He naturally had to bear the resulting karma.
------
In the evening.
Chen Nan, wearing a black cloak and a golden mask, arrived at Qingyun Tower.
Manager Wang seemed to have anticipated Chen Nan’s visit today.
He was specially seated in the first-floor lounge area.
Drinking tea and humming a tune.
He looked quite relaxed.
He had successfully entered the Transformation Realm and become a Transformation Realm expert.
And he had politely declined the invitation to serve at the Guangling Prefecture branch.
The reason for this was none other than the Ma family.
He wanted to stay here and continue to fleece the Leng family.
Although he couldn't avoid being fleeced by Chen Nan during this period.
He could learn from the experience.
Moreover, Chen Nan was a distinguished guest of Qingyun Tower.
Working with him allowed him to earn a lot of commission.
"Manager Wang seems to be in a good mood today!"
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s voice.
Manager Wang instinctively stood up.
Although he had learned many deceitful tricks from Chen Nan.
However.
Hearing his voice, he was scared from the bottom of his heart.
He felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Because he had no idea when Chen Nan would start scheming against him.
He instinctively felt a sense of resistance.
Chen Nan asked, "Have the Requiem Flowers I requested been delivered?"
Manager Wang took out a storage bag, "All four hundred and fifty Requiem Flowers are in here. Daoist Friend Chen, you can check them!"
Chen Nan took the storage bag without looking, "With our relationship, can't I trust you?"
Manager Wang stumbled.
He secretly thought, "This is bad!"
"Here it comes! It's starting!"
"As soon as this guy gets familiar with me!"
"He's going to start scheming against me!"
"I just hope his scheme is smooth and not too stiff!"
"That way, I can learn some valuable experience!"
Chen Nan asked, "Manager Wang, does Qingyun Tower still need Soul Gathering Pills?"
Manager Wang replied without thinking, "Of course, we do!"
Soul Gathering Pills were elixirs that helped one enter the Transformation Realm.
Moreover, he had already received news from headquarters.
If there were any Soul Gathering Pills, buy them at a high price immediately.
Chen Nan took out the Soul Gathering Pill from the Ma family, "Here, I'll sell this Soul Gathering Pill to Qingyun Tower!"
"As for the price..."
"You can decide."
"I believe, with our friendship, you won't cheat me."
Manager Wang cursed inwardly.
"I won't cheat you."
"But you, damn it, have cheated me quite a lot!"
"And!"
"Can't you just state a clear price? Why are you making me decide?"
"If I offer too little, you'll say our friendship is worthless."
"If I offer too much, it'll be difficult for headquarters to explain."
"This is clearly putting me in a difficult position."
He suppressed his resentment and pondered for a moment, "How about this, three and a half million taels of gold?"
After he finished speaking, he heard Chen Nan scoff, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of disdain.
As if he thought the price was too low.
Manager Wang gave a bitter smile, "Forget it, a final offer, four million taels of gold."
"If you feel this price is acceptable, then Qingyun Tower will accept this pill."
He regretted it a little.
He shouldn't have appeared so excited when Chen Nan offered to sell the Soul Gathering Pill.
If it weren't for that.
Chen Nan wouldn't have thought the price was too low.
Chen Nan, seeing that he had reached a reasonable point, said, "Fine, four million taels of gold it is."
"Same old rule, convert it all into Requiem Flowers!"
Manager Wang was overjoyed, "Alright, you can pick up the Requiem Flowers in three days."
"Got it, then you carry on."
Chen Nan did not linger and got up to leave.
Manager Wang stood up to see him off.
After watching Chen Nan disappear into the night.
He suddenly frowned.
Wait.
Why does it feel like something is missing?
Then he shivered violently!
"Holy crap!"
"Did Chen Nan have a change of heart today?"
"He didn't scheme against me?"
"And!"
"It's a good thing that he didn't scheme against me."
"But why does it feel so awkward?"
