My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 61

“Master, this is the one.” Bald Qiang pointed at a villa.

Lin Hai nodded.

Before arriving, Bald Qiang had already called the owner—a middle-aged woman.

“Sir, this villa has never been lived in since it was renovated. If I weren’t in urgent need of money, I’d never sell it. Just look at the layout, the décor—”

The woman was a smooth talker, spinning a flawless tale about the villa’s perfection.

Lin Hai waved his hand, cutting her off.

“Enough. Just tell me the price.”

“Sir, I bought this villa for 18 million, spent over 2 million on renovations, and the furniture alone—”

“How much are you selling it for?” Lin Hai sounded impatient.

“Well…”

The woman had hoped to hype up the villa’s value first to negotiate better, but this young man was sharp—he wasn’t giving her the chance.

“Since I need cash fast, if you’re serious, I’ll let it go for 18 million, with the renovations and furniture included. Also—”

“8 million,” Lin Hai interrupted.

“What?” The woman froze, then laughed in disbelief. “Are you joking?”

Bald Qiang’s eyes nearly popped out of his skull.

Damn, Master’s ruthless! Haggling straight to the bone!

“Not joking at all.” Lin Hai shook his head.

“Fine. If you’re serious, my bottom line is 16 million.”

“Let’s go.” Lin Hai turned to leave.

“Wait, wait! Hold on! How about 15 million? That’s already lower than market price—you won’t find a better deal!”

Lin Hai paused, a smirk tugging at his lips.

“10 million. Take it or leave it.”

“That’s way too low! 10 million? Impossible!”

Lin Hai chuckled, glancing meaningfully at the neighboring villa.

“Funny… this place feels kinda haunted, doesn’t it?”

The woman’s face paled instantly.

“Wait another week, and you’ll be lucky to get one-tenth of that price. Think anyone’s buying then?”

She glared at Lin Hai like she wanted to strangle him.

“Bald Qiang, after she sells this to me, flatten the front garden. Dig it up real deep—who knows, might find a skeleton buried there. Wouldn’t want any nasty surprises.”

“Uh… sure.” Bald Qiang replied absentmindedly.

Yeah right. Unless she’s an idiot, no way she’s selling at that price.

Lin Hai’s words made the woman’s expression shift again.

After a long struggle, she gritted her teeth.

“Fine. 10 million it is. You’re robbing me blind!”

“What?!” Bald Qiang’s brain short-circuited. “Did she just say 10 million?!”

Since when does the world work like this?!

Lin Hai tossed his bank card to Bald Qiang. Paperwork was the lackey’s job.

He was thrilled.

Not only was the house problem solved—it was a steal.

Next week, Yunyun would take her college entrance exams. After that, he’d move his whole family to the city.

A villa. A luxury car. His parents, after decades of hardship, would finally enjoy their son’s success.

The thought warmed his heart.

Shortly after Lin Hai left, Chu Linyer floated down from the sky, stopping in front of Peng Tao’s villa.

“The yin energy here is strong. A powerful ghost must’ve lived here recently… and it’s been vacant for about a week. Perfect. This shall be my mortal realm residence from now on.”

…

Lin Hai was strolling aimlessly when his phone buzzed.

“Come over for dinner tonight.” —Liu Xinyue.

“Miss me already?” He added a drooling emoji.

“Miss your big-headed ghost, you pervert!”

Lin Hai’s face darkened. Wait… this sass… is that Liu Xinqing?!

Sure enough, another message followed:

“Lin Hai, sorry! I went grocery shopping and forgot my phone. Mom asked Xinqing to invite you, but she couldn’t reach you, so she used my WeChat.”

Damn, it was the little sister! Feisty as hell.

That reminded him—he still had Xinqing’s number blocked. He unblocked it and saved the contact as…

“Wild Brat.”

Payback for her attitude, he thought with a grin.

…

Liu Family Home

“Xiao Hai’s here! Dinner’s almost ready,” Zhao Fang called from the kitchen.

“Auntie, good evening.” Lin Hai smiled.

“Hmph. Pervert.” Xinqing shot him a glare before storming off.

Lin Hai sighed. First impressions are hell to shake.

“Don’t mind her. She’s just young,” Xinyue apologized.

“Oh, I mind,” Lin Hai pretended to be offended.

“Huh?”

“So…” He glanced around—they were alone in the living room.

“I’ll have to punish the older sister instead.” With that, he swatted Xinyue’s backside.

“Ah!”

“Jie, can you help me with this—” Xinqing walked in, book in hand, just in time to see Lin Hai’s hand connecting.

“Ugh. Definitely a pervert.”

Xinyue’s face burned. “W-what is it?”

“I can’t solve this physics problem.”

Xinyue scribbled on paper for a while but got nowhere.

“Ask your Hai-ge. I’m a music major—science isn’t my thing.”

Xinqing scoffed. “Him? A pervert who probably only knows how to flirt.”

Lin Hai’s pride prickled.

Call me a pervert, but don’t insult my IQ. I aced science, damn it.

“Let me see.” He snatched the book and solved it in under ten minutes.

“Done.” He handed it back, whistling smugly.

Xinqing scanned the steps—clear, logical, correct.

She eyed him with grudging respect.

“Guess you’re not completely useless. You do have some merits.”

Lin Hai rolled his eyes. “Some”? Buddy, I’ve got plenty of merits. And other assets too—though you’ll never see those. Your sister, though…

He smirked inwardly.

…

Dinner

The table was soon laden with dishes.

“Xinqing, eat more meat. You need energy for exams next week,” Zhao Fang urged.

“Hmm.”

“Mom, some classmates said their parents are escorting them all day during exams. Like, what’s the point? They can’t take the test for you,” Xinqing remarked casually.

Zhao Fang’s expression dimmed.

“Xinqing, you know our situation. With your dad bedridden, I can’t leave him, and your sister’s competition—”

“Mom! I didn’t mean—” Xinqing panicked, realizing her words stung.

“It’s just… I’ve always hated that other kids get things you two never had—”

“Mom, stop! I really didn’t—” Her voice cracked.

Lin Hai cut in. “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take Xinqing to her exams.”
