As the conversation continued, the three of them set down their bowls and chopsticks. Xiao Yefeng was quite curious about the Goddess List, so he asked, "So, what rank do you both hold on the list?"
After their earlier discussion, Xiao Yefeng noticed that the Two Goddesses did not possess the delicate airs typical of wealthy ladies; instead, they were very approachable. Thus, he playfully inquired.
"Of course we are on the list! Do you think we could live here just because of our families?" Mei Mo'er said, raising her porcelain doll-like face and pouting.
Indeed, the Two Goddesses had not hidden their backgrounds, nor did they need to. After all, who could remain a stranger when living in such close quarters? It was just that the Two Goddesses were unfamiliar with Xiao Yefeng. They had received all his information almost immediately after he was taken away in a police car.
However, this information consisted only of a set of photos and a few lines of introduction. Thus, the Two Goddesses intended to learn more about this man who was the first to dare move into Courtyard No. 3 during this apology dinner.
Throughout the meal, Liu Yiyi made several indirect attempts to pry information from him. But Xiao Yefeng was not someone easily swayed by these two girls; instead, it was the Two Goddesses who kept answering his questions.
"I’m ranked sixth; they call me Spicy Flower. Sister Yi Yi is ranked second, and those lecherous men call her Snow Lotus," Mei Mo'er said as she mentioned her rank and nickname, her anger flaring up momentarily before she shrugged it off with a cute wrinkle of her nose.
Xiao Yefeng realized why they called her Spicy Flower after witnessing Mei Mo'er’s fiery personality—she truly was a spicy flower, full of charm and heat.
After the meal, Xiao Yefeng learned many useful and trivial pieces of information. He couldn’t help but praise Liu Yiyi’s cooking skills. This reminded him of a woman he once shared life and death with—a woman who could turn fried eggs into charcoal. He found himself comparing these two seemingly perfect women in his mind: both beautiful but one an Eastern woman and the other a Western woman. It seemed that marrying an Eastern woman would be wiser; if all Western women cooked like her, it would surely be the end of days for Western cuisine.
Once, he had asked that woman why a typical Westerner would take on the name of an Eastern Transcendence goddess. The answers he received were either being shot at with a barrage of bullets or eating two eggs she had fried herself.
Xiao Yefeng believed both outcomes would be equally disastrous. She was a sharpshooter; a single burst of bullets could kill an unguarded Xiao Yefeng multiple times. On the other hand, consuming two eggs she cooked would likely lead to an even worse fate. Thus ended their last conversation before Xiao Yefeng chose to return home. He never expected that eating Liu Yiyi’s homemade food would bring back memories of her.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng's distraction made Liu Yiyi smile softly while Mei Mo'er scrunched her adorable nose and said, "Hmph! You men are all the same; you hear about beautiful women and turn into such fools! I won't talk to you anymore. By the way, your room was originally next to mine on the second floor, but now I’m staying there. You can take my room instead; just go verify your fingerprint later."
Xiao Yefeng was quite puzzled by Mei Mo'er’s words and then asked, "What does that mean? Are the three rooms different in some way?"
"It's like this," Liu Yiyi said, wiping the corner of her mouth to ensure there was no grease before helping Xiao Yefeng with an explanation.
After Liu Yiyi's patient explanation, Xiao Yefeng finally understood why Mei Mo'er had the key to the Earth Dweller room but lived in the Human Dweller room. It turned out that the layout of the second floor in the third courtyard was different from that of other courtyards, or perhaps each courtyard had a unique layout. The third courtyard had a two-two-one arrangement, meaning there was a large bathroom and a gym on the third floor.
The layout of the second floor was somewhat uneven, resembling a gentle slope. Two rooms were located on the uphill side, while another room was on the downhill side. Although the height difference was only about an inch, it was indeed present. The two-two-one layout sparked an inspiration in Xiao Yefeng's mind. He wanted to help wash the dishes but was refused by Liu Yiyi. The two goddesses were unaware of the situation and let the police catch him; this meal was meant as an apology, so Xiao Yefeng naturally couldn't wash the dishes. Thus, he graciously walked toward his own room.
As he climbed the stairs, Xiao Yefeng noticed that the entire house had a bent appearance. Upon closer inspection, it confirmed his suspicions: this was a building with a two-two-one layout both inside and out, corresponding to the Zhen Character Formation in Bagua.
Reaching the top floor, Xiao Yefeng surveyed the Golden House Courtyard's architecture. Indeed, he could see that the ten villas were arranged according to the directions of Bagua from Qimen Dunjia. Although he couldn't see everything clearly, he could be certain that this Yintang Point had been divided by the master who established this Golden House Courtyard. No wonder this Yin residence's terrain could be so easily suppressed by a Yang residence.
Having discovered the characteristics of the third courtyard, Xiao Yefeng understood the architectural style of Golden House Courtyard. It made sense that it could suppress Yin terrain; a massive Bagua Formation was placed above Yintang Point. The Yintang Point was divided into two parts, with courtyards one and two suppressing Tai Chi Eye, while courtyards three to ten surrounded Tai Chi Eye with Bagua formations. The architectural style of courtyard three clearly represented one of Bagua's eight directions—the Zhen Character Formation—where two-two-one was its best manifestation.
At this time, with the sun high in the sky and Yang energy at its peak, the Yin Qi of Golden House Courtyard was being neutralized. However, in the distance, golden gas could be faintly seen in the air; beyond that lay Jade Sea Villa. With Yin and Yang complementing each other at noon, it was certain that Yang energy surged within Jade Sea Villa as well; there must be a similar feng shui arrangement suppressing it there.
Xiao Yefeng also pondered over the question posed by the two goddesses earlier. He realized that when Liu Yiyi understood the situation, she already knew why such things happened: men who stayed here for long periods would lose their instincts. The key reason for this was that the Yin Qi at Golden House Courtyard's brow area was too heavy. This Yin Qi was suppressed by a massive Tai Chi Bagua Diagram and wouldn't cause too much harm.
However, saying it wouldn't cause too much harm was a general statement because this heavy Yin Qi wasn't what ordinary people referred to; rather, it was a type of Yin Qi beneficial to women—a kind of nourishing Yin found in pharmacology. Women who stayed here for long periods could absorb this Yin Qi, making their skin more delicate and smooth while aging more slowly. However, if men stayed too long, their Yang energy would be neutralized within them, leading to a loss of their inherent abilities.
Despite these significant benefits for women, they still couldn't stay for extended periods; hence, there was a maximum rental period of five years. According to Reincarnation principles, everything has its limits—people inevitably age over time. While using this terrain's Yin Qi to delay aging might provide temporary relief, it would ultimately lead to punishment. This is why one could only reside here for up to five years; during this time, Xiao Yefeng believed that women living here could at least alleviate nearly twenty years' worth of aging.
In essence, living here for five years would allow one to maintain their youthful appearance until they reached forty—a truly fortunate power for wealthy ladies! However, this estimate from Xiao Yefeng might not guarantee such obvious effects; nevertheless, delaying aging was certainly achievable.
The door creaked open as Xiao Yefeng stepped inside, surveying the house that would belong to him for the next two years. Luxurious, high-end, extravagant, perfect—these four adjectives sprang to mind in an instant. The enormous private bathroom had initially led him to believe it was just a vast room, but in reality, it was a suite comprising at least four different rooms. Each room featured a unique bed—round, square, massive, and even water-themed. This was no ordinary accommodation; even a king would be envious of such an arrangement.
