Jill had taken the other people away.
Penguin waved goodbye, while Lin Chen pulled out $100,000 from the car. "Brother, take this and treat the guys to a supper."
The Penguins hesitated, but Lin Chen forced it into their hands.
"Alright, thanks, Taoist priest. We'll leave first so as not to disturb you and the ladies chatting, hehe."
It didn't take long for everyone to leave.
Old Wang came over from the corner, sweating heavily. "Daoist priest, I really don't want to… I'm being forced."
Lin Chen patted him on the shoulder. "I know, you can't help it. Go home, lest your wife and daughter worry."
"Thank you, Daoist Master." The old man walked away gratefully. Lin Chen knew that if he pushed too far, he could offend the gangsters, so he let it go.
Turning to the three beauties, Lin Chen said, "Alright, let's drive in."
After parking, Lao Cai came over, nodding and bowing. "Master, the construction is complete, and we've cleaned up everything."
Lin Chen nodded in approval. Lao Cai had done a good job—no cutting corners, roads and courtyard were well-prepared. Everyone feared making mistakes, knowing that even small errors could be exposed in a live broadcast later.
Lin Chen paid the final installment on the spot and handed Lao Cai a large bonus—more than enough for a feast.
Sister Widow muttered, watching, "So generous to the workers… a hundred dollars is too much!"
"What's wrong? Natalie, come help quickly!" Lin Chen shouted.
"Understood, boss!" Sister Widow beat a few people lightly, her mood lifted, voice clear.
When it came time to choose rooms, Sister Widow grumbled again. Lin Chen assigned her the nanny room on the first floor.
"You're a housewife, you should live here."
Though far from Lin Chen's room, it was convenient for reporting information. She wasn't happy but accepted it. Fortunately, the room was spacious, simple yet elegant, with a private bathroom—her favorite style.
Lin Chen studied her. "I just noticed your fighting skills… you're not trying to get close to me, are you? Trying to cozy up to the Diamond King?"
Sister Widow nearly fell. "Boss! Too many rich people want to rule me—don't worry! My skills? I learned them for certain Satyrs!"
Lin Chen chuckled nervously. "I don't care about money, just… your figure and looks, that's enough to scare me!"
Sister Widow gasped and tried to calm herself.
Catwoman arrived carrying two large boxes and a safe, placing them in the sea-view room Xiao had selected earlier.
Lin Chen knocked on the door with a smile. "Little Cat, planning to stay here?"
Stretching and sitting on the edge of the bed, Catwoman winked. "Why? Not welcome?"
"Definitely welcome."
She stood and opened the curtains, enjoying the evening breeze. The lights of the bay twinkled below. "Comfortable, quiet, great air, beautiful scenery—I like it!"
She glanced at Lin Chen cautiously. "This room is mine. No one will live here in the future!"
"Okay, yours."
Lin Chen eyed the safe. "Is this yours?"
Catwoman's gaze sharpened. "My future dowry, for my future husband. You want to steal it?"
"I'll need to steal it… one day you'll hand it over."
She rolled her eyes. "Dream on!"
After a few minutes of playful banter, Lin Chen left her to settle in.
Harley Quinn was making her bed. Lin Chen hugged her from behind. "Harley baby, hard work, you're still the best for me."
She held his arm. "Master, you're the hardest! I just do my best."
They snorted at each other, laughing.
Lin Chen went downstairs and called Natasha Romanoff to help with the dishes, preparing a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
Catwoman sampled some sweet and sour pork ribs. "This is really delicious! Sweet and sour perfect!"
Harley Quinn eyed the hotpot. "I like spicy! Very spicy!"
Lin Chen handed Harley a piece of braised fish. "Harley, too spicy? Can't handle it?"
Harley smiled and playfully glared at him.
Sister Widow had cooked two bowls of rice already, rubbing her stomach. "Over, this guy cooks so well! Even on missions I can't gain ten pounds!"
After dinner, they stepped into the courtyard. The sky was full of stars, the distant dark sea bathed in moonlight.
Lin Chen instructed Harley and Catwoman to lay talisman papers and stones for the Spirit Gathering Array and the Jiugong Bagua Array.
Sister Widow stayed in the kitchen, breaking two bowls in the process, then finally joined them.
She watched Lin Chen chant incantations, manipulate talismans and jade, and pouted. "Not scientific at all… just fooling that stupid girl."
Lin Chen pointed to the sky. "The formation is open!"
Boom! Thunder rumbled as lightning struck several boulders arranged by Lin Chen.
Sister Widow was stunned. "This Taoist priest really has skills… frightening!"
The Spirit Gathering Array activated. The bay absorbed spiritual energy like a dragon, funneling it into Lin Chen's villa. Thick white fog rose, transforming the soil, trees, and surroundings.
Harley Quinn, eyes closed, sensed the energy. "Wow, so strong… feels like it's entering my body!"
Lin Chen instructed the two to practice boxing to better absorb the energy.
Catwoman glanced at Harley's legs. "Let me see… grown up recently?"
Harley blocked her. "Sister Catwoman, don't underestimate me!"
They sparred, lightning-fast, their moves precise and fluid. Sister Widow joined, feeling refreshed and noticing her skin improve.
Lin Chen coached them. "Exhale slowly… one or two breaths… listen to the flow. Clear breath enters through the nose into the dantian, through the mouth into the abdomen. This is the basic method—gradually understand it."
Sister Widow was stunned. "Can you speak human words? I don't understand!"
Harley explained the key points.
Catwoman shook her head. "This Harley… just terrible. Natalie's a vixen!"
Lin Chen smiled. "Selina… you're different!"
Catwoman sighed coquettishly and launched a lightning-fast kick. "Stinky Taoist priest, how dare you slander this goddess!"
Lin Chen dodged. "Trying to kill my husband?"
They sparred, laughing. Lin Chen only used 30% of his strength; otherwise, she'd have been knocked down.
Sister Widow muttered, "Men and women… don't look at this next part!"
Afterward, Lin Chen meditated again. Sister Widow followed, using the Roar inhalation method, slowly repairing old problems in her body.
"This place feels like home," she murmured, falling into contemplation.
