My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 297: Someone is Showing Off Their Wealth!

Unfortunately, Cao Xingjian had fallen into a vegetative state, and it was feared he would never be able to reveal the truth. Upon hearing the news, Song Wulin breathed a sigh of relief. If even the renowned Old Man Chen Guo couldn't cure him, he didn't believe anyone else could. This time, Yang Qi was doomed. All Song Wulin had to do was stay out of it and wait quietly.

Yang Qi was unaware of this, but he was very clear about one thing: everything he now possessed had been seized by force. If he couldn't continue to grow stronger, these things would naturally be swept away. But as a cultivator, conventional cultivation methods were simply not enough. What he needed were Treasures and rare heavenly materials. Consequently, he had been making inquiries about them lately. As for his company's affairs, he had handed them over completely to Ye Fei and Li Qingyan.

Recently, many businesses and families from outside the region had flocked to Kang City, all hoping to get a piece of the pie. He wouldn't stop them; when it came to legitimate business, he wouldn't interfere. But if anyone tried to monopolize the market and bully others as the old Kang City Business Alliance had, he would have no choice but to step in. To him, Kang City was home, and no one would be allowed to destroy it.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Zhao Xiong.

"Great news, Mr. Yang! The authorities have seized the Kang City Business Alliance's private slush fund and found quite a few good things. They plan to auction them off. The auction will be held at Kang River Villa, a famous tourist resort. You should go take a look. Perhaps you'll find something."

"Thanks!"

Yang Qi hung up the phone, his heart suddenly beginning to race.

I can't believe the Kang City Business Alliance had so many good things. It would be great if I could find something useful. At this stage, I desperately need to enhance my Combat Power in case I run into an expert from the Thunder Sect and can't hold my own.

Just as he was preparing to leave, Zhao Yuman arrived.

"PANT... PANT... Mr. Yang, do you mind if I'm your guide? My dad sent me. He was worried you wouldn't be able to find Kang River Villa."

Yang Qi had to admit, Zhao Yuman was very cute. Unlike Ye Qianqian's bubbly enthusiasm, this girl had a consistently sweet and endearing demeanor that inspired affection.

"Alright," Yang Qi said with a nod. "Let's just treat it as an outing."

I really have no interest in girls this young. In the past, my mind was on my research. Now, my focus is entirely on Lin Qingxuan. All my efforts are for the sole purpose of winning her over. Other women simply don't enter my thoughts.

Yang Qi drove his Mercedes to Kang River Villa, a place he had never visited before because it was rumored to be incredibly expensive. Even when he was a young entrepreneur, he had never dared to come to such a place. Here, even his million-yuan Mercedes seemed rather unremarkable, as the parking lot was filled exclusively with luxury cars, some worth millions, even tens of millions.

"Whoa, there are so many big shots here! Uncle Yan Bo is here! Uncle Du Le'an too! And so many wealthy merchants from out of town whose names I don't even know!"

Having grown up in the City Lord Mansion, Zhao Yuman naturally recognized far more people.

"It looks like there are quite a few good items, Mr. Yang. This time, you might really get what you wish for. My father said that if you run out of money, our Zhao Family is willing to fully support you!" Zhao Yuman added. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

So it turns out this girl isn't a guide, she's my wallet.

Yang Qi didn't stand on ceremony. No one knew what kind of treasures might appear, and if something good showed up, he certainly didn't want to miss it. His own funds were limited. Although he was wealthy, immortal cultivation was a money-burning endeavor. He currently had only about a hundred million on hand and had no idea what that could even buy.

Just as the two finished checking into their room and were about to take their luggage upstairs, a voice rang out. "Well, if it isn't little Yuman?"

They turned to see a young man in a sharp suit. He was quite handsome, but his pretentious demeanor was a bit off-putting.

"So it's Young Master Zhong! When did you arrive in Kang City?" Zhao Yuman clearly knew him.

"What kind of question is that? I'm the young master here! It's a great honor for me that the treasure auction is being held at our villa," Young Master Zhong said, beaming with pride.

"You know each other?" Yang Qi asked.

"Young Master Zhong and I were in an extracurricular class together, and he even pursued me. But my father is very strict and wouldn't let me date so early, so I had to turn him down," Zhao Yuman explained.

"He's your bodyguard?" Zhong Yan asked, glancing at Yang Qi with disdain.

"He's my boyfriend!" Zhao Yuman declared.

What is this girl talking about? Yang Qi frowned. Seeing the pleading look in her eyes, however, he didn't expose her lie. She probably just wants to use me as a shield to keep this guy from pestering her.

"Oh, Yuman, even if your family isn't well off, you shouldn't just settle for a country bumpkin," Zhong Yan said, clearly displeased. "Look at his clothes… his appearance… he's a bumpkin through and through. You have terrible taste."

Does this idiot not know that Yuman is Zhao Xiong's daughter? How dare he say the Zhao Family isn't well off? Whether it's the Zhao Family of Thunder City or the one here in Kang City, neither is a force to be trifled with.

Seeing no reaction from Zhao Yuman, Zhong Yan turned to Yang Qi. "Kid, if you have any self-awareness, you'll stay away from Yuman. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You look like you came straight from a farm. Remember, a toad can never eat a swan's flesh. Be smart and stop pestering her. Plenty of men are lining up for a girl with Yuman's looks."

"Then let me ask you," Yang Qi retorted sarcastically, "if I'm not good enough for her, are you?"

"Of course," Zhong Yan said proudly. "I'm only twenty-eight, successful in my career, and my father owns this entire massive villa. If Yuman agrees, I can go register our marriage with her immediately. I can give her a happy and wonderful life as a rich man's wife. You can't."

Zhao Yuman was truly mortified. Compared to the Zhao Family of Kang City, Zhong Yan's entire estate was just a drop in the bucket. But she was kind-hearted and didn't want to point out his ignorance, so she kept quiet.

Zhong Yan, however, mistook her silence for her being tempted and decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Yuman, do you think I'm only interested in your beauty? No, for me, it was love at first sight. Be with me, and you'll immediately be the young mistress of this villa. Think of the prestige you'll have wherever you go!"

In his mind, no woman could refuse such a temptation, especially a girl from a poor family. But would he actually make her his wife? Of course not. He just wanted to play with her for a while. It had always been a sore spot for him that, despite his wealth, he hadn't been able to conquer Zhao Yuman back in school. He was extremely resentful and now, more than ever, he wanted revenge.

"Is this villa of yours very valuable?" Yang Qi asked casually.

"It's not that much, but it's worth a good five hundred million!" Zhong Yan boasted. He felt that a sum of five hundred million was enough to scare off an army, let alone some poor country kid.
