Chapter 590: Chapter 590 Sweet Date

"It seems the outside world is more complicated than I imagined."

As the bustle subsided, Ni Chang walked over to Lin Fan’s side and hugged his arm.

She could tell that this turmoil was not yet over.

The man who was like a plaster that wouldn’t peel off would certainly not give up just like that.

"There are good and bad people everywhere, and you will gradually come to understand the diversity of human nature."

Lin Fan smiled and pulled Ni Chang into his embrace, "Don’t let this trash affect your mood. Even if the sky falls today, it must not impact our shopping mood."

"Alright!"

Ni Chang smiled sweetly, and the two of them held hands and walked upstairs.

Before long, the shopping mall, which was under lockdown, regained its liveliness.

Shopping, buying things, eating gourmet food.

The two of them enjoyed the leisurely world for two like a couple.

In the afternoon, they even watched a movie.

When Ni Chang saw those realistic special effects on the big screen for the first time,

She couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

"What’s wrong? Is it too exciting? Not feeling well?"

Lin Fan took Ni Chang’s hand.

"No, I just feel that life in the heavenly grotto is indeed somewhat monotonous, especially for the children there, who seem so pitiful. Just like you said, a paradise doesn’t necessarily have to be closed off from the world. Perhaps, they should also enjoy some of the flavors of the new age."

Ni Chang pursed her lips.

The heavenly grotto would be the best theater.

If they were to screen a movie there,

Those kids would surely go crazy.

"Whatever you want must be arranged, I can’t let my woman be cooped up in the room all day. This time with the reconstruction, why don’t we include some more high-tech stuff? That way, you could also learn more about this world."

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Ni Chang.

He hadn’t arranged for that previously because he was afraid it would be hard for her to adapt.

"But the heavenly grotto has been sealed for a thousand years. If we really introduce so many things... I’m afraid the Elder Council won’t agree. After all, it took years just to install that somewhat outdated steam generator."

Ni Chang looked at Lin Fan with some concern.

The old-timers at the Elder Council had a very limited acceptance of new things.

"Who cares about them? You’re the master of the heavenly grotto, and if they dare to talk nonsense, I’ll give them a good smacking."

Lin Fan’s words made Ni Chang cover her mouth and snicker.

But she knew very well that he was capable of doing just that.

"Forget it, the heavenly grotto is after all a place where descendants of tomb robbers took refuge. It’s best not to attract too much controversy. Let’s take it slow."

"Okay, then we’ll go out for a big dinner tonight."

Looking outside, he noticed it was getting a bit dark.

Lin Fan took Ni Chang’s hand and walked out of the cinema.

Just as they stepped out, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Zheng Tianxiang, one of the stewards of the Plum Blossom streams.

"Lin, with the arrival of the Holy Maiden, I would like to host dinner tonight and have also prepared the paperwork for the reconstruction. May I ask if it would be convenient for the Holy Maiden to review it?"

Zheng Tianxiang’s tone was humble.

"Just in time to save me money on dinner. I’ll send you our location, come pick us up," Lin Fan said with a laugh as he sent Zheng Tianxiang their position.

In less than half an hour, the car stopped outside the department store.

Zheng Tianxiang stood by the car door, waiting respectfully.

When he saw the two coming out, he immediately bowed to greet them.

"Holy Maiden, I have prepared a humble dinner at my place tonight, and I hope you will forgive me for any shortcomings."

"Thank you for the trouble."

Ni Chang naturally would not refuse.

The two got into the car, and only then did the driver set off.

They arrived at the Zheng family’s estate on the outskirts of the city.

At this moment, in the impressive mansion, red lanterns hung high.

All the lights were lit, giving it an even more majestic feel than the new year.

Zheng Tianxiang was the first to get out of the car, leading the two of them into the house.

At this moment, Zheng Tianxiang’s three sons were all standing there, well-behaved.

"Greetings, young Master Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Fan enter, the three of them hurriedly paid their respectful salutations.

After all, their father had repeatedly instructed them to pay great respects to Lin Fan today.

Zheng Tianxiang then lowered his voice and said in Ni Chang’s ear, "Saintess, to avoid revealing your identity, I haven’t informed those sons of mine who you are, so I hope you will forgive me."

"There’s no need to be so polite."

Ni Chang nodded slightly and then walked into the dining room.

The tables in the dining room were already filled with dishes, which displayed the utmost luxury.

Zheng Tianxiang even brought out a vintage wine that he had cherished for many years.

He personally poured a full glass for Ni Chang, who took the seat of honor.

"It is a blessing for our humble abode that the Saintess honors us with her presence, a toast to the Saintess!"

Zheng Tianxiang’s face became flushed with excitement as he threw back the vintage wine.

Ni Chang, however, just took a small sip and then put it aside.

She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of food into her mouth, but after chewing, her eyebrows furrowed.

"I’ve seen Qi Qi make this dish, but why does it taste so awful?"

The words of the Saintess sent cold sweat running down Zheng Tianxiang’s back.

How could the meals he had prepared so meticulously be described this way?

He could only look at Lin Fan with a pleading face.

"You said Qi Qi made it, otherwise how could she be called a legendary chef, turning the mundane into the magical? The same ingredients in her hands simply become different, so not everyone can have the luxury of eating the dishes she makes."

Lin Fan’s words left Zheng Tianxiang nodding awkwardly.

"Miss Qi Qi’s culinary skills are beyond the reach of us mere mortals; tonight’s top chef is already the best in town, yet the taste is just so-so."

"Alright then."

Ni Chang put down her chopsticks, a little disappointed.

Lin Fan then smiled and gestured to Zheng Tianxiang, "Show the Saintess the procurement list."

"Certainly!"

Zheng Tianxiang hastily handed the thick list to Ni Chang.

At the same time, he explained, "For the procurement of materials and a series of supplies, we have already contacted the manufacturers, who can ship at the earliest convenience, ensuring everything can be delivered to the designated place within a week. I’ve also arranged trusted people to handle the final transport logistics..."

"How much will it all cost?"

Ni Chang quickly flipped through the list and asked directly.

"The entire procurement list should cost around eight hundred million. Deducting the three hundred million in financial resources from the caverns, we are still short five hundred million in cash. I’ve started to liquidate the family’s collection to ensure the smooth progress of this reconstruction project!" Zheng Tianxiang replied with utmost respect.

He was willing to sell his family assets to be a part of the reconstruction of the caverns.

But such a large sum of cash was not something one could come up with immediately.

He needed some time.

"No need to go through all that trouble!"

Hearing the stated price, Lin Fa chuckled and pulled out a check from his breast pocket.

Indeed, everything was as he had estimated.

"Here are ten billion, just the compensation I extorted from those little devils. Don’t bother saving money for me, but I only have one request."

"What request?"

Ni Chang and Zheng Tianxiang both looked at Lin Fan in puzzlement.

They had no idea what demand he might have.

Lin Fan then flashed a mischievous smile.

"That is, the Saintess’s personal room must have a double bed, and it must be equipped with a massage bathtub, and all household appliances must be provided without fail. Best to also build an indoor swing to bring back some childhood fun for the Saintess."
