Chapter 11

Fang Tianfeng slowly walked towards the basement. He had seen the floor plan of the villa online and knew that the semi-basement had a garage, an entertainment room, and a storage room.

When he reached the basement, he saw a large water purifier. Only then did Fang Tianfeng remember that each floor of the villa had an appliance he had never used, which from its appearance, was likely an air purifier.

Continuing to check the storage room, Fang Tianfeng saw many unused appliances, such as a floor waxer, a humidifier, and a dehumidifier.

There were even more appliances in the kitchen, including an electric oven, a coffee machine, a bread maker, a dishwasher, and a fruit and vegetable detoxifier. Fang Tianfeng finally realized that to take care of this villa, he first needed to learn how to use various household appliances.

After some thought, Fang Tianfeng decided to put all the appliances he didn't know how to use and didn't need to use into the storage room!

The entire villa was luxuriously decorated, with various valuable decorations that seemed even more challenging to manage than the appliances. There were large blue porcelain vases, exquisite oil paintings of people, simple root carvings, cute Maneki-neko (lucky cats), a toad with a coin in its mouth, and paintings of court ladies.

The villa had no potted plants or fish tanks, apparently to avoid them being moved due to lack of care.

Fang Tianfeng continued to inspect the villa and soon realized that taking care of it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.

"Since I'm the only one living here, many things are not needed at all. The main task is just cleaning. Although the villa is large, cleaning one floor a day doesn't take much time. The owner probably wants someone to live here to add some human touch, as an unoccupied house is more likely to deteriorate."

The villa had clearly been cleaned recently, but some areas were already covered with a thin layer of dust. He decided to thoroughly clean the villa today and from tomorrow, clean one floor each day.

His gaze fell on the air purifier, and he began to search the cabinets, quickly finding the user manual. He followed the instructions to clean the air purifier and then started the major cleaning from the third floor.

Time passed, and the clean areas increased. Fang Tianfeng realized that despite his efforts, he hadn't even broken a sweat and felt no fatigue. After several hours of work, it felt like he had only taken a few steps, without expending any energy.

The Tian Yun Jue (Heavenly Destiny Technique) was indeed powerful!

Unconsciously, it was already noon. He stretched and prepared to go down to the kitchen to cook, only to find that the refrigerator was empty. He was unfamiliar with the surrounding markets and restaurants, so he decided not to go out and instead ordered takeout.

He searched online and quickly found a nearby restaurant that delivered takeout. He ordered a fish-flavored pork rice bowl, but considering his increased appetite, he also ordered a Kung Pao chicken rice bowl and a plate of fried noodles.

After waiting for about ten minutes, his phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hello, are you Mr. Fang? I'm from Hongda Restaurant, delivering your food. Could you please come to the villa entrance to pick it up?"

"Are you not delivering to the inside of the villa?"

"It's not that I won't deliver, but the security guards won't let me in."

"That's impossible. Why won't they let you in?"

"They said it's for the safety of the residents. Unless the resident personally gives permission, no outsiders can enter."

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Fang Tianfeng's face darkened, sensing the problem.

Suppressing his anger, he walked out.

Soon, he arrived at the villa entrance, where four security guards were blocking the young delivery person, who was leaning on his electric scooter, looking helpless.

Fang Tianfeng walked over and looked at Xin Lao San, frowning. "Brother San, you're stopping my takeout? What's the meaning of this?"

Xin Lao San, with a cigarette in his mouth, said with a fake smile, "Little Fang, I'm just thinking about the safety of the residents. What if this delivery person is a robber or a murderer?"

Fang Tianfeng asked, "Resident? I'm the only one living in the entire Chang'an Garden. Who are you talking about? If you don't let this delivery person in, will you also not let the delivery person in next time?"

Xin Lao San sneered, "Of course! We are here to serve the residents. As for others, it's none of our business! We work hard to guard the villa, and in the end, others make money. What more do you want from us?"

Fang Tianfeng coldly laughed, "Did Manager Bi tell you something?"

Xin Lao San took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then sneered, "Do you even deserve to mention Manager Bi? Manager Bi has already found out from your company that you are just a recently fired employee. To put it nicely, you are a villa caretaker; to put it bluntly, you are a male nanny! Don't think we will treat you like a master."

Fang Tianfeng was extremely displeased, "Speak more politely!"

Xin Lao San stubbed out his cigarette, stepped on it, and said contemptuously, "I won't waste words with you! Listen up, from now on, behave yourself. If you don't know your place, don't blame us for being unfriendly! Go."

Saying this, Xin Lao San led the other three security guards into the guard booth, mocking Fang Tianfeng as they walked, calling him "a freeloader," "a show-off," and "a wimp."

Fang Tianfeng clenched his fists, about to step forward, when his phone rang. It was a call from Shen Xin.

"Hello, Sister Xin."

"I just finished lunch. How are things on your end? Do you need anything? Have you eaten?"

"I'm about to eat. Things are fine here, but those security guards are not very professional."

"I know a bit about them. Stay for now. If they have issues, I'll have Manager Bi replace them in a few days. These thugs have connections in both the underworld and the legal world, so they are not easy to deal with. However, if they make the first move, you can teach them a lesson, and I'll take responsibility."

Fang Tianfeng, who was originally unhappy, felt his mood improve. "Thank you, Sister Xin."

"Don't be lazy. I'll come to inspect in the evening!"

"No problem."

"Alright, see you tonight."

"Goodbye."

Putting away his phone, Fang Tianfeng glanced at the security guards. He realized that after hitting Manager Zhuang yesterday, if he hit someone again today, it would be hard to explain to Shen Xin. Although she said she would take responsibility, he couldn't keep troubling her.

He thought to himself, "These lowlifes, this is the first and last time. If it happens again, I won't be so lenient! I, Fang Tianfeng, don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble!"

Fang Tianfeng thanked the delivery person, paid him, and took the food back to the villa. After eating, he continued the major cleaning.

The cleaning wasn't tiring, but the repetitive actions quickly made Fang Tianfeng bored. Not many men are willing to waste all their time on household chores, and Fang Tianfeng was no exception.

He kept busy until around four in the afternoon, when he had mostly cleaned the villa. Some corners still needed attention, but he would deal with them later. He spent more time in the kitchen, as Shen Xin was coming over today.

Shen Xin soon called, saying she was bringing food and that Fang Tianfeng didn't need to do anything, just wait to eat.

Fang Tianfeng had worked all day, and his body wasn't tired, but the repetitive labor had made him mentally exhausted. He leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and tried to find a way to escape this monotonous life.

Soon, he had an idea.

"Rent it out? Yes! Let the tenants share the chores, which will reduce my workload! If they pay enough, I can hire a maid or a part-time worker, and I'll be free! I never thought I would become a sub-landlord of a villa."

However, Fang Tianfeng still had concerns. The villa owner clearly wasn't short of money and probably wouldn't want strangers living in the villa. Otherwise, he could have rented it out.

"This matter depends on whether Sister Xin agrees, and the number of tenants shouldn't be too many. Since I just moved in, it's not the right time to ask Sister Xin. I'll wait for the right opportunity."

A plan quickly formed in Fang Tianfeng's mind, invigorating him. He decided to try his best to convince Shen Xin in a few days.

While waiting for Shen Xin, Fang Tianfeng continued to think about his future.

He considered many plans, but currently, the simplest way to make money was to observe people's qi using the Qi Observation Technique and pretend to be a fortune-teller predicting good and bad luck. In modern society, without money, one can't do anything.

"Looks like soon, I'll have to act like a charlatan, maybe even a feng shui master or a fortune-teller. I might have to present myself as a mysterious Taoist descendant, or no one will believe me, let alone give me money. I've heard that some fortune-tellers are very accurate and make a lot of money. With my strong ability, I will definitely make more than them."

In the evening, Shen Xin entered the villa with a large bag of groceries. Her attire at the company was always similar: a white blouse on top, a black straight skirt, and sometimes black stockings, sometimes nude stockings. Today, she was wearing thin nude stockings, making her flawless legs seem to glow.

Even with the groceries, she still exuded the professionalism and elegance of a career woman.

Fang Tianfeng took the grocery bag, and Shen Xin put on a new apron and started working in the kitchen. Fang Tianfeng, worried that Shen Xin would be overwhelmed, helped her by washing and preparing the vegetables.

Shen Xin bought a soft-shelled turtle, saying it was for her health, but then she winked at Fang Tianfeng, saying it would make men very strong. Fang Tianfeng was both amused and embarrassed.

Four dishes and a soup were served. Shen Xin didn't eat much, spending most of her time serving Fang Tianfeng, often propping her chin on her hand and smiling at him.

Fang Tianfeng, feeling uncomfortable under Shen Xin's gaze, lowered his head and ate quickly.

From his dream, he knew that the Tian Yun Jue could strengthen his body by consuming yuan qi, but his body needed a lot of food to supplement the energy, which was the reason for his increased appetite.

After the meal, Shen Xin didn't let Fang Tianfeng wash the dishes, taking care of it herself. Fang Tianfeng stood beside her, chatting with Shen Xin.

Shen Xin's complexion was visibly better. Using the Qi Observation Technique, Fang Tianfeng saw that the sick qi in her head had not increased, which was a good sign. However, his expression suddenly changed.
