Sheng Nan panicked, a flicker of unease in her eyes. "Mr. Chen, you're not joking, are you? We're going to see the house now? It's nighttime!"
"Or... shall we go see it tomorrow during the day?"
Sheng Nan didn't believe in ghosts either.
But some things were hard to dismiss.
If it were daytime, she could take Chen Nan to see the house, but now it was dark. The thought of venturing into Villa 95 made her hesitant and frightened.
Chen Nan said, "If you're scared, just give me the key, and we'll go by ourselves."
Sheng Nan looked embarrassed. "I'm not scared, it's just that I suddenly have a stomachache!"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile. "Then perhaps you should go to the restroom first?"
"Alright then, you two go ahead and see the house. I'll find you after I use the restroom." Sheng Nan said, taking out the owner's card for Villa 95.
"Let's go!"
Chen Nan took Jian Ning's hand. "Take me to Villa 95 to have a look!"
"I'm a little scared..."
Jian Ning didn't hide her fear.
Chen Nan rolled his eyes. "With me here, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, even if there are ghosts inside, they'll be so scared when they see me that they'll kneel and beg for mercy."
Jian Ning thought of Chen Nan's methods and felt a bit more at ease. She drove him to Villa 95 on the mountaintop.
This villa was located at the peak of North Mountain, offering a panoramic view of Jiuzhou.
Especially at night, it looked dreamlike and surreal.
Of course.
This villa occupied over a thousand square meters and had three floors.
It adopted a new Chinese architectural style, giving a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
The huge terrace on the top floor, in particular, caught Chen Nan's eye.
Villa 95 implied its significance, suggesting that whoever lived in it was a true sovereign of Jiuzhou!
It was a pity.
Not everyone was qualified to live in this villa.
Beep!
After swiping the owner's card, the villa door slowly opened.
The moment the villa door opened, a gust of cold air swept over them.
"I'm a bit cold," Jian Ning shivered.
Although the nights were a bit chilly this season, that cold air had given her goosebumps.
"I underestimated this female ghost!" Chen Nan said with a slight smirk of disdain.
He then unleashed his true energy, enveloping himself and Jian Ning.
At this moment.
Jian Ning clearly felt the coldness disappear.
But Chen Nan then asked her a chilling question: "Do you want to see the female ghost?"
Jian Ning instinctively swallowed. Despite her fear, her curiosity was strong. "Can we see her?"
Chen Nan formed a hand seal and touched Jian Ning's forehead.
This was opening the heavenly eye.
Once the heavenly eye was opened, one could see what was invisible to the naked eye.
The moment the heavenly eye opened, Jian Ning clearly saw the scene before her change.
A black ghostly aura enveloped the villa.
The ghostly aura churned, as if a giant dragon was roaring within.
Whoosh!
An eerie wind blew, obscuring the sky.
"Chen Nan, I'm scared," Miss Jian exclaimed in terror, her curiosity having led her astray.
Chen Nan looked up at the ghostly aura, a hint of ferocity in his eyes. "Playing tricks, do you really think I can't get rid of you?"
As he spoke.
He raised his hand and unleashed a golden seal.
The seal shot up into the sky, dispersing the dense ghostly aura!
The next moment.
A female ghost in a red dress, embroidered shoes, and with long flowing hair appeared on her knees before Chen Nan and Jian Ning, a flicker of fear in her eyes. "Master Immortal, please show mercy, I beg you to spare my life!"
She looked no older than seventeen or eighteen.
Her red dress and dignified appearance exuded an indescribable charm.
Her phoenix eyes were captivating, capable of stealing souls and unsettling the mind. Her lips were like cherry blossoms, inviting endless imagination.
"No way... she's really a female ghost?"
Jian Ning looked incredulous.
She was the type of woman whose appearance often reflected her perception of things, and she simply couldn't believe this female ghost was so alluring.
Even though she had been wary of the supposed female ghost earlier.
Now, she almost wanted to be her sister...
Chen Nan said coldly, "What's your name? Why are you here?"
"Reporting to Master Immortal, my name is Liu Caihe, and I am from the Song Dynasty. After my death, I was buried on this mountain. Because there was a hundred-year-old old locust tree on the mountain, I attached myself to it.
"However, when these houses were built, that locust tree was cut down, so I could only survive by clinging to the roots of the locust tree.
"And the roots of that locust tree are under the house!"
"Master Immortal, I have never done anything harmful or wicked. I beg you to show mercy and spare my life."
"I am willing to be your servant to repay your kindness!" she said, kneeling piously on the ground.
Although many enlightened monks had visited the villa.
She could feel the difference between them and Chen Nan.
Those monks could not harm her at all.
But Chen Nan could make her soul scatter instantly.
"Chen Nan, this little sister isn't a vengeful spirit, why don't you let her go?" Jian Ning said from the side. "Having her here could be beneficial. At least in winter, we won't need to turn on the air conditioning, which will save on electricity! Yes, that's right."
Chen Nan rolled his eyes. That was a rather far-fetched reason.
However.
He was not a bloodthirsty person.
Although humans and ghosts walked different paths.
As the ancients said, existence is reasonable.
Moreover, Liu Caihe had not harmed the previous three owners, she had only scared them away from the villa.
This alone showed that her nature was not bad.
Thinking this, he said, "Since that's the case, I will spare your life. But you must remember one thing: from now on, you are not to appear casually, and you must not affect the lives of my loved ones. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
"Thank you, Master Immortal, thank you, Master Immortal!" Liu Caihe quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Return to your dwelling!" Chen Nan waved his right hand, and Liu Caihe's figure disappeared from the villa.
Jian Ning spoke excitedly and incoherently, "Chen Nan, are you a god? Why are you so powerful? Why can you even subdue female ghosts? It's simply incredible!!!"
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow. "Then are you willing to inherit the excellent bloodline of our Old Chen family?"
Jian Ning gave him a roll of her eyes, then said, "Let's go, let's go, let's tour this villa. This is the best house in the entire Half-Mountain Villa area, the best in Jiuzhou!"
Chen Nan, also full of curiosity, opened the villa's entrance door.
The moment he opened the door, the smart home system was activated. The outline lights in the villa automatically turned on, followed by the crystal chandeliers.
What met their eyes was a simple and rustic new Chinese interior design.
Although it looked simple and rustic, it exuded a low-key luxury.
Chen Nan was very satisfied with this.
Whether it was the interior design, the furniture, or the new smart home appliances, there was nothing to fault.
"This house is simply tailor-made for me!" Chen Nan was overjoyed. He knew without a doubt that his parents would also like it here when they arrived.
The villa was large, with three floors above ground and a basement.
Downstairs were a gym, a media room, a chess and card room, and a billiards room.
Everything was there.
"This house is much better than my own. I even want to move in!" Jian Ning sat on the billiards table, her beautiful jade-like legs swinging, stirring Chen Nan's heart.
Chen Nan walked over, lifted her chin, and with a meaningful smile, said, "Since you've visited my house, how about I get to tour our son's house?"
