Chapter 30: The Feeling of Taking Over a Dying Legacy

Before today, Yang Fan had never considered marriage, but the other party offered too much.

Being a kept man might not sound good, but if it really fell into one's lap, who wouldn't thank their lucky stars?

"Luo… Rou'er, may I call you that?" Yang Fan coughed. After all, she was already his wife; calling her Miss Luo or Luo Rou seemed too distant.

"Whatever you like." A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of Luo Rou's mouth.

Compared to those children of large families, Yang Fan's slightly awkward demeanor actually made her feel a bit amused.

"Husband, you don't need to be nervous. With the talent you have displayed, if you had been born into the Luo Family like me, your achievements would only be higher than mine were back then. Given my current situation, it is actually I who am not worthy of you."

"I am ten thousand percent willing to marry into your family." Yang Fan hurriedly waved his hands.

Are you kidding? She is a descendant of a god, and the dowry she gave would save him ten years of detours.

Although this wife's Divine Kingdom was damaged and she looked haggard, it was all the same with the lights off at night. What mattered was the generous dowry; one wave and he would go straight from a poor peasant to well-off.

How could this be unworthiness? It was clearly him hitting the jackpot.

Watching Yang Fan's overwhelmed expression, there was a mix of amusement and sadness in Luo Rou's eyes.

"This is the coordinate of my Divine Kingdom. Since we have confirmed our relationship, come on in." Luo Rou invited Yang Fan to enter her Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan tapped the coordinate, and his consciousness was pulled into her Divine Kingdom by an invisible force.

Two milky-white phantoms floated ten thousand meters above the Divine Kingdom; they were the consciousness projections of Luo Rou and Yang Fan.

Facing Yang Fan, Luo Rou opened up the permissions for her Divine Kingdom, allowing Yang Fan to see everything inside.

The Divine Kingdom covered an area of 800,000 square kilometers. However, apart from the two or three thousand elderly, weak, sick, and disabled mortals living in the very center, the rest of the area had no signs of life and was entirely shrouded in poisonous mist.

Forests, mountains, rivers, and even the air ten thousand meters up were filled with emerald-green gas.

Yang Fan's expression was grave. He could feel that this poisonous gas was extremely troublesome; even a trace of it appearing in his own Divine Kingdom would likely be a catastrophic disaster.

"This is the poison of an Alien Demi-god, the Death Spider Emperor. Although the amount is not large, the quality is extremely high. If we rely solely on the Divine Kingdom's own metabolism, it would take at least fifty years in the real world." Luo Rou sighed softly. Not to mention fifty years, with her current body, she would struggle to last even five.

"Is university that dangerous?"

"There are always people with bad luck in this world. It was supposed to be just a normal assessment, yet we happened to encounter an Alien Demi-god hunting the geniuses of our race. If the team leader hadn't appeared in time, I wouldn't even have had the chance to return home."

"Is there no way to treat it?" Yang Fan frowned slightly. He had a good impression of this woman named Luo Rou. Although they hadn't met long ago, she hadn't hidden anything in their conversation, which showed her sincerity.

"How could there be none? It's just that the price is too high. It requires a high-level healing god to intervene, costing at least 100 Divinity Points, but I personally am not worth that much."

At this point, a trace of sorrow flashed in Luo Rou's eyes.

Who doesn't want to live well? But the continuation of a large family doesn't rely on sentimentality.

Whoever has better talent deserves more resources.

Fairness, justice, and transparency are the core cornerstones of maintaining a family's long-lasting prosperity.

Since Luo Rou suspended her studies, apart from her grandfather Luo Chengfeng, not a single person in the entire family had spoken up for her.

The elders she once knew, the childhood sweethearts from her youth, all drew a line between themselves and her.

The coldness of the world and the fickleness of human relationships—it doesn't get more apparent than this.

"Divinity Points?" Yang Fan looked curious.

"It's normal that you don't know. This is the currency between gods; one hundred million Faith Points can condense into one Divinity Point." Luo Rou explained.

Yang Fan gulped. This treatment cost was indeed outrageous; ten billion Faith Points was simply an astronomical figure.

"Is there any way to alleviate it?"

"The water of life can delay the collapse of my Divine Kingdom. However, the Luo Family's stock of the water of life is not large, and purchasing it on the market requires paying a premium. Even my grandfather cannot keep my life hanging by a thread using such strategic resources indefinitely.

It doesn't matter. Although you and I are now husband and wife, don't waste resources on this. I am now terminally ill; continuing to invest in treatment costs will only end in losing both the person and the money." Luo Rou calmly stated her view, without a trace of fear of death in her eyes.

"The water of life!" Yang Fan muttered to himself.

Yang Fan had once seen an introduction to this item in the mall. A fountain of life could produce one drop every ten years, with an official price of one million Faith Points, but it was always out of stock.

For others, an expenditure of one million Faith Points per month was definitely not a small amount; after all, developing a Divine Kingdom also required investing a large amount of resources.

But Yang Fan was different. With the Evolution Talent, once he got the Luo Family's investment, his monthly income would surely skyrocket. Perhaps he should step in and help this nominal wife.

Although the two of them didn't have feelings for each other yet, she was, after all, his angel investor. Helping her within his capabilities was not out of the question.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan cast his gaze toward the center of the Divine Kingdom.

"Why do you have so many moon wells and sun springs?" Yang Fan asked.

In the center of Luo Rou's Divine Kingdom, there were two hundred moon wells and sun springs placed there, with an incredibly rich aura of life.

"This is all the inheritance left after I sold off my Divine Kingdom's assets. Now my believers are weak and unable to make other Divine Kingdom investments. Only these buildings with fixed output can generate income, which can be considered leaving an inheritance for future children.

And if I'm lucky enough to produce a fountain of life, I might even be able to accompany the children as they grow up." Luo Rou explained.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat awkward as he said, "Can these buildings be moved to my Divine Kingdom?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fan began to regret it.

Saying this right now felt just like he was impatiently waiting to take over a dying legacy.

The person wasn't even dead yet, and he was already trying to empty out her Divine Kingdom's assets; it was a bit too shameless.

The situation was a bit awkward; even Luo Rou seemed not to have expected Yang Fan to say that.

The two were speechless for a moment.

Luo Rou sighed deeply and said, "Actually, after I die, these Divine Kingdom assets will be handed over to you to manage anyway. I only have a few years left."

At this moment, there was a trace of sorrow and helplessness in her eyes, along with a hint of confusion.

Looking at her expression, Yang Fan wished he could slap himself across the face.

He didn't really want to take over a dying legacy; after all, if these assets were placed in his own Divine Kingdom, it would mean ten times the profit.

It was just that his SSS-rank Talent could not be mentioned to others.

"Ahem, I was just joking earlier, don't…"

"I agree."

"Ah, you agree?" Yang Fan's eyes showed some shock.

Luo Rou nodded: "That's right. I will send these buildings to you in a while, but we still need to sign a legal agreement. You cannot sell them. After our children's Divine Kingdoms awaken, the income generated by these buildings must be transferred to them every month.

I'll state it beforehand: once the agreement is signed, you won't be able to go back on it later. Besides being supervised by the Federal Government, if you violate the terms of the agreement, the Luo Family will sue you in the future."

Luo Rou's tone was calm and cold, as if she were just discussing a business deal.
