Chapter 65 - The More He Looks at the Empress, the More Pleasing She is to the Eye

Early the next morning.

Stacks of bright red bills were piled neatly on the coffee table in the living room. One hundred stacks of ten-thousand-yuan bills were piled up like a small, eye-catching hill.

“So this is… one million…!”

Long Yue's mouth hung slightly open, her eyes shining as she stared at the red bills before her.

When she was still the Empress of the Immortal Realm, it wasn't as if she had never seen piles upon piles of gold and silver, but at that time, she had felt nothing at all, even looking upon them with disdain, feeling they were just worthless things.

Now, in this world, she had come to recognize the value of money. Seeing the piles of cash before her again, the feeling in her heart was completely different.

Although she had never been in love, at this moment, she felt the heart-fluttering sensation of a first love…

“Lin Fan, can I… touch it…?”

Long Yue turned her head, a look of girlish anticipation on her face.

Lin Fan smiled dotingly and gave a slight nod.

Permission granted, Long Yue gently placed her palm on the pile of cash, then couldn't wait to press her face against it and take a greedy sniff.

“I think I can smell the money…”

In this world, whether it was receiving her salary or buying things online, she had always used mobile payments. This was the first time she had ever seen so much cash with her own eyes.

If she could have this much money, she would even be willing to give up sleeping in every day!

“That guy Zheng Shaohao sure got the money ready fast enough.”

Looking at the million in cash, Zhou Yan remarked.

Early in the morning, Zheng Shaohao had contacted him and asked him to deliver the money on his behalf.

At first, he thought it was because he didn't know Lin Fan's address and had planned to bring him over, but the guy was so scared he refused to come no matter what, insisting that he deliver it for him.

Having no choice, he had to drag an entire suitcase full of cash over by himself.

“Here, this is to pay you back.”

Lin Fan walked forward and casually tossed two large bundles of cash to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan subconsciously caught the tossed cash, and when he looked down, he was shocked.

One small stack of bills was ten thousand yuan, and ten stacks made one large bundle. He was holding a full two hundred thousand yuan in his hands!

“This is too much. I never lent you this much money.”

“I told you I'd pay you back double. Consider the rest interest.”

Lin Fan was unconcerned.

Ever since becoming the Demon Sovereign, he had never considered money to be very important.

Given all the help Zhou Yan had given him over the years, a mere two hundred thousand yuan was nothing.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but be stunned by Lin Fan's extravagant gesture.

No matter how rich his own family was, he had never so casually tossed two hundred thousand yuan to someone else like this.

Lin Fan tossed out two hundred thousand without even blinking. It felt like he wasn't tossing money, but a pack of tissues, just so casually. He was even more extravagant than him...

“With a million, does that mean you have financial freedom in this world? You can buy whatever you want?”

Long Yue reluctantly pulled away from the cash and turned her head to ask curiously.

“For most everyday things, that's true. But if you want to buy some luxury goods, a million actually isn't that much.”

Lin Fan shook his head slightly.

“Luxury goods? Is there anything in this world that a million can't buy?”

“Of course. For example, buying a higher-end car can cost quite a lot. Cars that cost over a million are not uncommon,” Lin Fan said, giving an example.

Long Yue looked thoughtful for a moment, then revealed a puzzled expression.

“Although that 'car' thing is indeed convenient for mortals to travel, I don't think it's something you must have.”

“Even if you don't have a car, you can just get a taxi when you go out.”

“Doesn't the money you save that way let you buy lots of other things? For example, eating whatever you want, every day!”

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

These days, the kind of person who would say they'd rather save the money from buying a car to buy food instead... was probably only the Empress...

With her past cultivation that allowed her to travel ten thousand li in a single step, she probably really didn't think much of cars.

“Then even if you don't buy a car, there are still houses.”

“Although housing prices are falling right now, the cost of a house is still very expensive.”

“In some places, one square meter can cost two or three hundred thousand. So, do you still think a million is a lot?”

“Two or three hundred thousand for one square meter?!”

Hearing this housing price, Long Yue's beautiful face turned pale with shock. Her stunned expression seemed to ask: “Is that for real? You're not joking?”

Under her shocked gaze, both Lin Fan and Zhou Yan nodded in unison.

“Sister-in-law, even in a cheaper first-tier city, housing prices are still twenty or thirty thousand per square meter.”

“That's so expensive too…”

Long Yue stared blankly at the pile of cash in front of her, only then beginning to understand why Lin Fan had said that a million wasn't actually that much.

With this million, she could probably buy enough food to fill the whole house, but if she were to buy a house, it might not even be enough.

In a more expensive place, it wouldn't even be enough to buy a bathroom…

“Demon Sovereign, are you planning to buy a house?”

Long Yue leaned in close to Lin Fan and asked in a quiet voice.

The thought of all this money disappearing with the purchase of a house filled her heart with reluctance.

Even though the money wasn't hers…

Lin Fan looked around his small apartment and said:

“This place is still a bit too small. We'll definitely have to consider getting a bigger place in the future.”

“Hmm…”

Long Yue grew pensive, then seriously stated her understanding:

“This Empress feels that although this house is a bit small, a bit old, and a bit far from the city center, it's still pretty good.”

“Oh? I thought you would prefer a bigger, nicer house.”

Lin Fan was slightly surprised.

He had to remember, Long Yue was previously the Empress, and the places she lived in the Immortal Realm were all immortal palaces and jade pavilions. Even a random room in some nook or cranny there was probably much larger than this small apartment of his.

He had originally been worried that she wouldn't be used to living in such a small place.

Long Yue shot Lin Fan an annoyed glance.

“You don't really think of This Empress as one of those pampered and spoiled young misses, do you?”

“This Empress has no particular requirements for a place to live. It's not as if I haven't slept under the open sky before.”

“This house is a bit small, but it has everything it needs. There's nothing wrong with it. This Empress actually quite likes it here.”

Lin Fan gazed quietly at Long Yue, his heart stirred by her words.

He suddenly felt that this Empress was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye the longer he looked at her…

Doesn't need a house, doesn't need a car, only wants food, and isn't a picky eater. In a way, this Empress seems to be very practical and easy to provide for…

“Why do you keep staring at This Empress…?”

Being stared at by Lin Fan, Long Yue's brows furrowed, and she demanded irritably.

“It's nothing~”

Lin Fan smiled slightly and replied evasively.

“So suspicious! Were you just thinking about something weird!”

Long Yue narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him, her own eyes full of suspicion.

“Really, I wasn't…”

“This Empress doesn't believe you! Confess the truth!”

“…”

Standing to the side, Zhou Yan silently watched Lin Fan and Long Yue bicker.

This couple is so busy flirting, they're completely ignoring my existence…

Should I find an excuse, be tactful and take my leave, so I'm not in the way when they 'cross hands' later…?
