Chapter 95 [None of Them Are Good People!] (8000 words)

Don’t underestimate Gu Qingyi just because she’s freeloading here and think she’s not costing much.

Actually, it’s quite a lot!

How much do M5 steaks cost!

How much per pound for those sausages infused with Maotai wine?

Not to mention the abalone and seafood that Boss Fang gave, and the top-quality cordyceps - Gu Qingyi has been eating plenty of the household’s supplies these days!

How much does top-grade tea cost per pound?

Scooping handfuls to make milk tea with!!

How much is the rent for a luxury villa like this per month?

On the market, it would cost tens of thousands of yuan per month. Even if this villa is a haunted house with a lower rent, and considering splitting the rent with Chen Yan, it would still be over ten thousand yuan a month on Gu Qingyi’s share.

Counting the days, Gu Qingyi has been with Chen Yan for a month now.

All those delicacies she eats every day, plus the rent.

Plus, Chen Yan also bought her a phone and daily clothes...

If all these costs were totaled, it’d be thirty to fifty thousand yuan easily.

Where did all this money come from?

It’s all earned by Chen Yan—through the use of spells!

If he were just an unskilled youngster, would Boss Fang give him steaks and tea leaves?

Chen Yan spent money on an Outsider, so he suffered from a backlash curse.

Gu Qingyi spent Chen Yan’s money, so she also suffered from a backlash curse.

When Chen Yan figured this out, cold sweat broke out!

He had been spending quite a lot these days!!

Going back to his hometown for the New Year, he had spent over a hundred thousand!

And the number of people who benefited from him was not small!

First, he listed the people he cared most about.

Lu Sisi? The old village chief?

Lu Sisi didn’t really use up much of his money.

Apart from the few days during New Year’s when she was eating and drinking with him, the biggest expense was the down jacket that cost a few hundred yuan he bought for her.

During the New Year’s, the eating and drinking weren’t excessive.

Also...when he bought the down jacket for Lu Sisi, he had just started his cultivation not long ago. When counting, he was still a poor kid back then, with a few hundred yuan in savings.

So when the Heavenly Dao settles the account, the money for that down jacket should not count as "earned through spells".

Well, Lu Sisi should be safe.

The hundred or so households in the village...

The New Year gifts were also easy to sum up. About eight or nine hundred yuan worth of goods per household. However, they all reciprocated with gifts like chicken, ducks, fish, local specialties, and eggs, which barely offset it.

Although the difference was certainly there, each household’s deficit was only three to five hundred yuan at most.

This should still count as "small money", probably not excessive, which shouldn’t trigger the Heavenly Dao’s backlash.

Then, there’s...

The old village chief’s house!!

The cigarettes and Maotai wine he gave, which cost a few thousand yuan in total.

The old village chief’s reciprocation with a few chickens and some local specialties was far from enough to balance it.

If it was anyone else having problems, Chen Yan might not have been this anxious. But the old village chief... was someone in the village, aside from the elderly lady, whom he was still attached to.

He immediately picked up the phone and called the old man. The call got through, and the old man’s voice was strong, sounding fine.

Chen Yan pretended to chat briefly before hanging up, pondering.

So... it’s not time to settle the account yet?

Indeed, Gu Qingyi had freeloaded for so long and only settled the account today.

He only gave gifts to the old village chief a few days ago?

The backlash hasn’t come yet.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and explained to Gu Qingyi the fate he had calculated and the contents of the letter from his grandma.

After hearing it, Gu Qingyi frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Outsiders can’t spend your money... My family’s cultivation techniques do not have such rules and restrictions.

But Lord Venerable is of the Ghost Race, and Ghost Race’s cultivation techniques are always wild and unpredictable. Maybe there’s a special restriction set by the Heavenly Dao. I’ve also heard of some strange rules in Ghost Race’s techniques while in the Domain Realm."

She thought for a moment and said, "Since it’s a backlash curse, the only way now is to find a way to break it."

Chen Yan thought for a moment and figured out a solution: "It’s easier to deal with your curse. You haven’t learned my grandma’s cultivation techniques or spells. I can just teach you one or two basic moves without imparting the entire technique. Once you learn, you’ll be counted as my inner disciple, and your curse will be naturally broken."

He frowned and said, "Your curse can be handled like this. Teaching you a spell or two isn’t difficult. But... what about others? The village chief is over seventy. I can’t possibly teach him cultivation techniques, can I? He’s never cultivated and wouldn’t be able to learn."

Gu Qingyi shook her head and sighed, "What’s up with your cultivation technique! Is it cursed?"

Chen Yan said gloomily, "I cultivated this technique for less than two months and advanced from a mortal to the Guiyuan Realm."

Gu Qingyi was stunned: "...Good technique! What Lord Venerable taught is truly magnificent!"

She thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "But I can’t learn your spells. The Gu Family has its own cultivation techniques. Learning from an outsider might cause conflicts with our techniques and affect my Dao heart in the future. Also, the family has strict rules."

Chen Yan frowned and said, "If you don’t learn my spells, you’ll always be an Outsider. From now on, you have to fend for yourself for food, clothing, and shelter. You can’t stay in this house! Otherwise, you’ll keep facing the backlash curse."
