In front of him, when the man saw Zero, his eyes visibly brightened. Zero was already cute before, but after not seeing her for a few years, she became even cuter.

An instant feeling of attraction!

He thought to himself: This little girl is probably still a pitiful waste now. If I spend some money and sweet-talk her, maybe I can deceive her into bed?

Just as Chen Xing was speculating about the identity of the person in front of him, that person spoke first: “Zero, who is this?”

Chen Xing was taken aback: Isn’t this supposed to be my line?

It seemed like he was more familiar with Zero!

“He is…”

“I am her husband!” Chen Xing suddenly interrupted Zero, but she didn’t appear rushed or annoyed; instead, her face turned red.

“Oh?” Feifei looked at Chen Xing with disbelief, sizing him up. “You two are married?”

“Fiancé!”

Feifei meaningfully responded with an “Oh…”

“Zero, who is he?”

“He is my former Spirit Master. He used to take good care of me! But then…” Zero spoke halfway and didn’t continue.

“We eventually terminated the contract, I’m sorry, Zero. I initially promised you that I wouldn’t abandon you.”

From his expression, it was clear that he felt guilty. But it was all fake! Perhaps he truly felt guilty before, but now, he only regretted it. If only he had maintained contact after terminating the contract, maybe he could have deceived her into bed!

Seeing his expression, Chen Xing sneered inwardly. He wasn’t falling for it. If he had abandoned her, would his guilt make any difference? But Zero, seeing that he still harbored some lingering feelings, felt a bit embarrassed: “It’s okay, Brother Feifei, I understand!”

Little did Zero know that the person in front of her, He Feifei, was no longer the same caring older brother from before. Time has a way of completely transforming a person’s soul.

“It would be great if my Spirit User had half of your understanding.”

“Brother Feifei, your Spirit User must be very powerful now!”

“Not bad, just C-grade…”

…

This He Feifei is quite easy to talk to, and Zero found herself engaged in conversation with him. Though Zero didn’t really want to chat, she continued to respond out of politeness. As the conversation carried on, they both completely forgot about Chen Xing who was sitting beside them.

Chen Xing, watching the two of them chat so animatedly, couldn’t help but feel annoyed (and murderous).

At that moment, the system’s voice rang in the minds of Zero and Chen Xing:

【 Ding! Detecting host feeling jealous. Unlocking achievement: Jealousy King! 】

【 Reward: Comfort from the system! Crystal coins: 5, Comfort: “Buy yourself a candy, kid. You’re welcome!” 】

Chen Xing’s lips twitched uncontrollably, silently cursing, “Are you f***ing kidding me!?”

Zero, on the other hand, was taken aback by what she heard. In the next second, she bit her lip, unable to suppress a smile that formed at the corners of her mouth. She lifted her head to look at Chen Xing. It was clear that she was struggling hard to hold back her laughter…

Seeing her reaction, Chen Xing’s face turned red, quickly explaining, “It’s nothing, don’t listen to this system’s nonsense.”

“Poof…” Unable to contain herself, Zero accidentally burst into laughter and quickly covered her mouth.

“Hehehe…” She quietly laughed.

【 Ding! Detecting host blushing! Unlocking daily task: Blushing Face! 】

【 Rewards: Spirit Points: 50,000, Crystal coins: 50,000, Repeatable: Twice daily. 】

“Giggle…” Zero’s laughter tinkled like silver bells. She couldn’t hold it in any longer. Chen Xing, feeling both amused and exasperated, bent down and gently lifted her up.

“You… put me down. There are so many people…” Zero struggled a bit in his arms.

Chen Xing had a mischievous smile on his face as he whispered softly in her ear, “You made me blush, so I’ll make you blush.”

His breath brushed against Zero’s ear, causing an unbearable tickling sensation. In an instant, her face turned bright red as she whispered, “Don’t…”

Those two words made Chen Xing’s heart itch. He couldn’t resist teasing her a bit more, continuing to whisper in her ear, “I’m jealous. Why are you so happy? Are you doing it on purpose?”

“I’m not… happy…”

But of course she was happy. Chen Xing being jealous for her meant that he cared about her. Just the thought made her happy!

He Feifei, looking utterly confused, wondered why they suddenly started showing affection. At the same time, he felt a sinking feeling that what he had hoped for earlier was probably hopeless.

He knew Zero’s personality all too well. She could be easily fooled if she wanted to be, and difficult to fool if she didn’t want to be! Their blatant display of affection, oblivious to their surroundings, left He Feifei feeling so awkward.

To ease the awkwardness, he spoke up, “Are you here to see the houses too?”

Zero’s face, still flushed, nodded gently in Chen Xing’s embrace. She looked so charming. He Feifei couldn’t help but stare in a daze. But soon, he felt the “friendly” gaze that Chen Xing directed at him.

Awkwardly coughing, he said, “I’m here to see the houses too. How about we go together? We can choose neighboring houses and visit each other!”

“We’ve finished looking and are ready to leave.”

“Oh? Is that so? Which house did you buy?”

“We didn’t buy…”

He Feifei said, “Oh,” then quickly scanned Chen Xing’s attire up and down. He was dressed simply and didn’t look like a wealthy person.

A trace of disdain briefly flickered across He Feifei’s face, but quickly returned to normal.

“Because they were too expensive?”

Just as Zero was about to say, “Hmm,” Chen Xing interrupted directly, “We bought one. Who said we didn’t buy?”

He Feifei raised an eyebrow, “Oh?”

Confused, Zero called out softly, “Chen Xing…”

“Let’s go, let’s see the houses.” With that, Chen Xing turned around and carried her towards the large model again.

He Feifei sneered inwardly and closely followed, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Chen Xing had seen the trace of disdain that flickered across He Feifei’s face earlier. If He Feifei were someone else, Chen Xing wouldn’t care. Just like the salesperson earlier, Chen Xing couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with him. However, He Feifei was one of Zero’s previous Spirit Masters. Just this relationship alone already made him feel displeased.

Chen Xing felt heartbroken for Zero’s past experiences! And the person in front of him was one of the Spirit Masters who had abandoned Zero, naturally giving him a bad impression.

He Feifei also showed disdain towards him and Chen Xing couldn’t bear it. He wanted to make him understand that by abandoning Zero, she ended up happier than before! For this, he was willing to give up on the “long-awaited” perfect one-bedroom apartment!

Many people in the vicinity noticed this interesting scene and turned their heads to look at Chen Xing and the others. They speculated in their minds: This young man doesn’t look wealthy, probably pretending to be rich.

The sales manager, seeing Chen Xing return and noticing another wealthy person beside him, said to a young female salesperson nearby: “Go attend to them.”

“Okay!” The young female salesperson hurriedly ran over to Chen Xing and the others. “Hello, may I ask…”

He Feifei interrupted her directly, with an air of arrogance, “I want this two-bedroom apartment. How much does it cost?”

The female salesperson was momentarily stunned. She had thought this was just a farce. She didn’t expect He Feifei to be so generous and, with just a glance, buy a house directly.

“This house costs a total of 14.85 million, with a total area of…”

“No need to say it. I’ll pay with crystal coins.”

“This… Alright!”

Wang Yu, who had just cursed Chen Xing as a poor bastard, widened his eyes.

He suddenly felt a loss. If it weren’t for Chen Xing, that commission might have been his! Actually, even without Chen Xing, it wouldn’t have been his since he was slacking off. But people like him always tend to blame others for their failures.

Many people in the lobby were there to visit and not to make a purchase. Seeing He Feifei being so generous, many people showed expressions of envy, their faces saying: It’s awesome to have money!

He Feifei looked triumphant at the sight. In fact, he had been eyeing this house for a long time. He really liked it. He had begged his rich Spirit User, who was over 40 years old, for a long time, and she finally agreed to buy it for him.

He didn’t expect to encounter Chen Xing and create this effect, helping him put up a great show. He felt extremely proud!

“Oh, by the way, I’m a C-rank Spirit Master. I remember there’s a discount, right?”

“Yes! C-rank Spirit Masters enjoy a 5% discount! After the discount, it would be a total of 14.1075 million.”

“I’m ranked 40th on the C-list with a power level of 48,000!”

“I’ll soon be promoted to the B-rank. Can you give me a further discount?”

In this world, a power level of 50,000 meant being able to blast a car with a single punch. It was already considered impressive. And He Feifei was about to join the ranks of the impressive. This surprised many people, who envied him and thought, “This person is both powerful and rich!”

This further fueled He Feifei’s pride. However, the female salesperson felt somewhat hesitant.

“Well… I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

Seeing her response, He Feifei pretended to be indifferent and said, “Never mind then. It doesn’t make much difference anyway!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xing. However, he noticed that neither Chen Xing nor Zero showed any expression on their faces.

He suddenly felt a bit defeated. If they weren’t shocked, then his show wasn’t impressive enough!

He took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to the female salesperson, saying, “By the way, this young man also wants to buy. You can wait a moment, we’ll pay together.”
