Chapter 304: 304

The eyes of the Shen Family members all widened.

"What did you say? Lu Jiuxuan was really killed?" Shen Ronghua shouted with a shocked expression.

The man nodded seriously, "The news is absolutely true, it has already spread across all circles!"

Shen Ronghua swallowed his saliva, looking at Chen Fan with a grave expression.

The gazes of most members of the Shen Family also fell upon Chen Fan.

Only Tian Ying was still full of doubt, glaring at Chen Fan and saying, "Even if Lu Jiuxuan is really dead, it was that Master Chen who killed him, what does it have to do with you!"

Chen Fan was speechless, he asked, "What’s my name?"

Tian Ying answered, "Chen Fan, so what? What does your name have to do with anything?"

All members of the Shen Family couldn’t help but shake their heads, feeling sympathy for Tian Ying’s intelligence.

Shen Ronghua squeezed out an awkward smile, looked towards Chen Fan, and said while cupping his fists, "Master Chen, you truly are a young hero. We judged you by your appearance before, not expecting you to truly kill Lu Jiuxuan. It’s really unexpected."

Tian Ying was still puzzled and said, "Patriarch, how can you just believe his words! The deeds of Master Chen, what do they have to do with him, Chen Fan?"

Shen Ronghua looked at Tian Ying with a complex expression, then said with a heavy tone, "Tian Ying, you should no longer follow Lingdie around, I’m afraid she’ll be dragged down by your intelligence."

Dong Xiaoran nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Tian Ying, from now on just do simple tasks like cleaning and taking care of the toilets, you probably can’t handle anything too complex."

Tian Ying was immediately dumbfounded, looking at Shen Lingdie with a face full of grievance, she asked, "Miss, they say my IQ is low, you know me best, is it really like that?"

Shen Lingdie nodded, "Hmm... it does seem a tad bit low."

Tian Ying collapsed instantly, bursting into tears and ran away.

The attitude of the Shen Family members towards Chen Fan underwent a complete 180-degree change, each of them showing a friendly smile, as if they were the most understanding people in the world, never one to look down on others.

Shen Ronghua’s face was beaming with joy. With Lu Jiuxuan dead, the big stone in his heart had finally settled, and he would no longer have to struggle between the fate of his daughter and the family.

However, there was still something he was confused about, so he looked at the messenger and asked, "Lu Jiuxuan was a master in the realm of magic, his death stirring up the realm of magic is normal, but why is the Martial Arts Circle also in an uproar?"

The person replied, "Because Lu Jiuxuan’s true strength was at the Half-Step Divine Realm! He had already transcended the constraints of spells, and in the end, when he fought with Master Chen, he used moves that were a fusion of Martial Arts and spells!"

"What! Lu Jiuxuan had reached the Half-Step Divine Realm!"

"My heavens, is it that legendary realm?"

"So... you mean to say, Master Chen has slain a master who had reached the Half-Step Divine Realm, so he..."

...

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, once again looking at Chen Fan, their expressions turning somewhat tense.

In their minds, the Divine Realm was an existence beyond the mundane world, a realm where one could stand shoulder to shoulder with immortals, and even the Half-Step Divine Realm was a presence they had to look up to.

And this young man before them was capable of slaying such an existence, instinctively they felt a sense of awe.

Shen Lingdie said with a face full of pride, "My husband is truly amazing!"

Chen Fan gave her a stare, then looked towards Shen Ronghua and changed the subject, "Patriarch Shen, I now wish to present a fortune to the Shen Family, I wonder if you would be willing to accept it?"

When Shen Ronghua heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a smile, "What are you saying? How could I possibly not accept it? Rest assured, I will make sure that your marriage with Lingdie is a grand affair."

He assumed that the fortune Chen Fan mentioned was marrying Shen Lingdie, which indeed would be a tremendous opportunity for the Shen Family.

Shen Lingdie widened her eyes in shock at Chen Fan, "You... you’re going to marry me?"

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "You’re misunderstanding, the opportunity I’m talking about isn’t that. Lingdie is my friend, and I have no improper thoughts about her."

Shen Lingdie’s face turned sour, and she said indignantly, "How can you have no improper thoughts about me? Are you even a man?"

Shen Ronghua looked at Chen Fan with confusion and asked, "Then what is the opportunity Master Chen mentioned?"

Chen Fna revealed a smile and said, "This requires Patriarch Shen to first excavate a cellar in his family’s foundations. I have a Heaven and Earth Spirit Object that I would like to store at the Shen Family. This Spiritual Object possesses Spirituality; it can nourish the people living nearby and even change the fate of a major family."

He was planning to move the Taiyi Twin Lotuses to the Shen Family.

Doing so would serve two purposes: to prevent the Taiyi Twin Lotuses from being taken by others, and to support Shen Lingdie, as he still needed her cooperation to absorb the power of the Taiyi Twin Lotuses.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ronghua became extremely excited and said, "The Shen Family is willing to accept this opportunity. It is our honor to have Master Chen store such a Heaven and Earth Spirit Object with us!"

Chen Fan nodded and then discussed the specific requirements for the cellar with Shen Ronghua.

Building the cellar would take three days, so Chen Fan decided to temporarily settle down at the Shen Family residence.

Shen Ronghua said with a smile, "I will have someone arrange the best room for Master Chen."

Shen Lingdie came over and said, "No need to arrange anything, Chen Fan can sleep with me. My room is the best in the house, very fragrant, he will definitely like it."

Chen Fan raised his hand.

Shen Lingdie immediately covered her head and ran off into the distance.

Chen Fan turned to Shen Ronghua, "Patriarch Shen, just arrange an ordinary room for me."

Shen Ronghua looked at the two young people and a hint of helplessness crossed his face, thinking to himself, Isn’t my daughter considered the beauty of Gang City? Why isn’t Master Chen interested? Could it be he prefers men? Then he smiled at Chen Fan and said, "Alright then."

Shen Lingdie muttered under her breath, "Anyway, you’re staying at my house, and I have all the keys to the rooms. I’ll just go and turn the raw rice into a covered rice bowl tonight, hmph."

And sure enough, that evening, Shen Lingdie crept up to Chen Fan’s room door, key in hand.

What she didn’t expect was that, although she could unlock the door with her key, she couldn’t push the door open no matter how hard she tried.

After a fruitless half-day of trying, she could only angrily exclaim, "Darn it!" and then returned to her room to sleep.

The next day.

Chen Fan thought there was not much to do over the next few days and decided it was a good time to look for Jian Yunzhou to inquire about the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

He asked Shen Ronghua for some information and learned that the real estate company run by Jian Yunzhou was called Yunzhou Real Estate and was located in the center of Gang City – very easy to find. Thus, he left the Shen Family residence and headed towards Yunzhou Real Estate.

Not long after he left, Shen Lingdie appeared at the entrance of the Shen Family mansion with a sly look on her face and then took out her phone to make a call, "Hello? Is this where you sell Qi Huan Powder? Is that stuff really as magical as you say? Can it keep a man in bed all day? Alright then, I’ll take three people’s worth."
