Chapter 1077: 1074: The Scale of Lin Ying Loan

"Fox Immortal Palace... what's that?" Ansheng stared at Lin Ying with a face full of confusion and asked. The things Lin Ying mentioned, individually, he knew every word, but when combined, Ansheng felt a surreal sense of unfamiliarity.

"Firstly, immortals should all have their sanctuaries, right?" Lin Ying was in a very good mood, her expression lively and animated as she explained, "And Master Fuli has been protecting the lands of Xia Dong, endowed with endless merits. In ancient times, he would rightfully be enshrined in gold statues by the people, right?"

"With a gold statue, one qualifies as a land Mountain God, so Master Fuli should indeed have his sanctuary!"

Lin Ying was full of persuasive charm, educating Master Fuli on the differences between a villa and a sanctuary.

"Then?" Ansheng asked, dazed.

"Your sanctuary is 130 acres. Later, the Security Bureau found out and added another 20-acre garden for you." Lin Ying said with certainty, "Just two hours ago, I received the complete inspection report on the Fox Immortal Palace; the acceptance is completed."

"You can inspect your sanctuary whenever you want."

"One... one hundred fifty acres?"

Ansheng's mind was still blank, and he hadn't reacted yet, but from the bathroom came the sound of something heavy falling and Ah Qing's shocked screams.

Ah Qing's pants were mostly wet, as she crawled out from the bathroom to the door, slowly making a question mark with her fingers.

The size of 150 acres is not intuitive, but if converted to square units, it'd be 100,000 square meters!

A family of three buying a house in the city, after deducting all common area allotments, would consider 120 square meters a luxury home.

But the little fox's family has 100,000 square meters, enough to build a medium-sized community or a business complex.

Ah Qing was in shock inside the bathroom.

"Ah Qing, what's this..." Lin Ying was startled as she saw Ah Qing crawling towards the bathroom door, she rushed forward to help the pants-wet Ah Qing.

"I was just about to give the little fox a bath, didn't wear slippers, slipped on the water, and mostly because Lin Ying, what you said startled me..."

Ah Qing looked at herself, somewhat embarrassed, and placed her foot on a water-absorbent mat in front of the bathroom door, pressing it down.

"When did you build a sanctuary?"

Ansheng, wedged between Lin Ying and Ah Qing, also showed a curious expression as he looked at Lin Ying and asked.

Chen Nian donated money to build a Fox Immortal Temple, and recently it might open to visitors, this Ansheng knew.

This even blocked the main road into the village for two days, forcing villagers to detour through the farmers' market to get home.

But... regarding the Fox Immortal Palace, Ansheng hadn't heard any news about it.

"It's been some time, roughly, right after my health improved, construction started."

Lin Ying smiled at Master Fuli, "So, when will you go for the inspection, Master Fuli?"

Lin Ying supported Ah Qing to the sofa, talking about the construction of the Fox Immortal Palace for the little fox.

The reason Lin Ying gave was very direct, frankly saying that without Huhu's underwater rescue, she would have been gone, embalmed and lying in a golden phoebe coffin.

Though the cost of the Fox Immortal Palace was high, such external values could not compare to her life.

This was Lin Ying's New Year gift to the little fox.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, the beginning of a new year, the construction crew worked swiftly to complete the construction right before Christmas and entered the acceptance process...

"Um..."

Ah Qing looked stunned, a bit at a loss, she glanced at the little fox, who was involved.

Lin Ying's words directly blocked all of Ansheng and Ah Qing's refusals from every angle.

Comparing the Fox Immortal Palace with Lin Ying's fate, saying the palace is costly and refusing it would be saying life is cheap?

"... It's really too kind." Ansheng's little fox face rarely showed slight embarrassment, looking at Lin Ying and said, "You kept saying family, family, and now you're bringing these things..."

"Mhm..."

Lin Ying chuckled, her gaze drifted between the little fox and Ah Qing for a moment without speaking, but seemingly everything was said:

"Precisely because I see you as family, I invested some thought to help you settle a home..."

"Let me know when you decide, I'll stop bothering Master Fuli's bath for now."

Lin Ying delivered the good news, originally intending to hug Master Fuli and absorb some energy.

But seeing he was about to bathe, she thought she'd return later.

Lin Ying left happily, leaving the hotel suite in brief silence.

"If Sister Lin spends like this, she won't go bankrupt, right? We shouldn't be the culprits, right?"

Ah Qing stayed silent for a moment before recovering from the shocking news that stunned her for a year, nervously asking the little fox.

"..."

Ansheng heard and felt exasperated, glancing in the direction of the somewhat worried Ah Qing, internally mocking the absurd possibility Ah Qing proposed.

"Bankrupt? You're overthinking, Lin Ying's Lin Group Holding Company is just part of the Lin Clan's industries. The Lin Clan's companies have a total market value of over four hundred billion dollars..."

"If announced, they'd instantly morph from a renowned industry ship king to one of the world's top ten wealthy families."

The reason Lin Ying's lending operates is that there's naturally massive cash flow support behind it.

Of course.

The company's total market value is an estimate, but if the 150-acre Fox Immortal Palace was funded privately, it's presumed Lin Ying's personal stash took a big hit.

"Ah Qing, don't worry, the way Lin Ying forcefully delivers gifts, I have my own way of dealing with it."

"Are we rejecting it? Or selling it and returning the funds to Sister Lin?" Ah Qing looked at the little fox and asked.

"Stay put, I'm off to the zoo next door to steal a turkey, and swear allegiance to Lin Ying as my adoptive mother." Ansheng shrugged and said.

Ah Qing: "..."

The method you're suggesting... it's a bit ludicrous.

But Ah Qing thought the little fox probably doesn't quite understand the connection between "acre" and "house price," so she held back her urge to critique the little fox's idea.

"Care for a bath! Later, ask my dad if he has any ideas, about the Fox Immortal Palace sanctuary, it's far too precious..." Ah Qing couldn't help but sigh, took off her wet pants, and hugged the little fox heading to the bathroom.

After the bath, Ah Qing went to Lin Ying's room, somewhat embarrassed, to invite her for a night snack with her and Safety Bureau friends.

"Naturally..." Lin Ying smiled agreeing, glanced at her wristwatch and said, "Then I'll wait for your night snack arrangement, as thanks, tonight's meal is on me!"

Lin Ying picked up the little fox who was lounging on Ah Qing's shoulder and put him in Lin Bingyun's arms.

She herself took Ah Qing's arm and walked to the elevator, whispering something to her.

"Master Fuli, tonight, you may need to keep an eye on Miss Lin...." Lin Bingyun looking at Master Fuli, said with a strange expression:

"I recall you telling me that the mushroom and Treasure Tree Spirit Liquid effects are comparable."

"Miss Lin, me, Lin Shu..."

"Can you handle it?"
