They quickly put the body in a body bag and loaded it into the police car.

The lion dancers were still banging drums and gongs in the farm. The police peeked inside and, finding nothing amiss, mustered the courage to go in.

"Um...can we go in and take a look at the scene?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Of course, I guarantee your safety."

The police officers exchanged glances and cautiously went inside.

After inspecting the scene, Lin Feng pointed out the location where the body was found.

The police took photos and made records, which took half an hour.

No suspicious traces were found—of course they weren't found, it was an accident after all.

After the inspection, they left in a hurry, not wanting to stay a second longer.

Lin Feng gave the lion dancers and the yellow-robed Taoist priests several thousand US dollars and sent them away.

Sarah ran over excitedly, hugged Lin Feng's arm, and asked excitedly, "Honey, what do we do now?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment.

"Have someone renovate these villas. Also," he pointed to a vacant lot in the distance, "have someone build a large circular building there, saying it's to suppress demons."

Sarah blinked. "I understand."

Anyway, they won't dare get close, so they'll believe whatever I say.

-

Black Lotus Farm covers a total area of ​​100,000 acres, spanning four counties in Texas, making it a very large farm.

The next day, Lin Feng drove his pickup truck with Sarah on board to inspect his territory.

Sarah's sister, Eileen, returned to New York that morning.

The car sped across the farm, occasionally catching glimpses of a few lonely trees and windmills generating electricity on the rolling hills in the distance.

The wind blew in through the car window, carrying the scent of grass and earth.

After touring the farm, Sarah was very satisfied with it.

"Honey, what do you think of Black Lotus Farm?"

Lin Feng gripped the steering wheel, his gaze sweeping across the distance.

"good."

Sarah said proudly, "That's right, it's much bigger and better than McKenna's farm."

Lin Feng, who was standing to the side, suddenly remembered something, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"If my parents knew I owned such a large piece of land in the United States, they would probably be so excited they wouldn't know which way was up."

The older generation's deep attachment to the land goes without saying.

Sarah tilted her head to look at him.

"Then you can bring them over and let them come and play."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll be happy for a few days after coming here, but the rest will just be trouble. I'd better stay in China."

Their ideas and perceptions differed from those of the older generation, and they would just grumble and complain when they arrived, which Lin Feng found annoying.

It's better not to meet.

Family ties are like this: too far apart, they're close; too close, they become toxic.

It's best to keep your distance.

.............

Now that Lin Feng had spoken, Sarah stopped dawdling.

The next morning, she asked McKenna to find a reputable renovation company.

McKenna from Fort Worth, Texas, is more familiar with it.

The renovation company owner, a Mexican, had a very interesting expression on his face when he heard that the job was for Black Lotus Farm. He wanted to take the job and make money, but he was also afraid of getting involved with that evil spirit.

Salad simply tossed out a wad of cash, 30% more than the market price.

"Give us enough money, go all out."

Our farm doesn't care about noise levels; just get to work.

The shopkeeper looked at the stack of banknotes, swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and took them.

Over the next few days, Black Lotus Farm became lively.

Several pickup trucks carrying renovation materials came and went, and workers wearing hard hats worked with clanging noises.

Construction began on five villas simultaneously, with workers replacing windows, painting walls, laying floors, and modifying plumbing and electrical systems—each busy with their own tasks.

Salad also added an extra project—to dig an outdoor swimming pool behind the villa, fifty meters long and twenty meters wide.

Money is not an issue anyway.

The renovation team was working hard on the farm. At first, the workers were apprehensive, afraid of bumping into something unclean.

After working for two days and finding nothing wrong, I relaxed.

Sarah was very happy to see this.

I was a little depressed when my family took all my resources back before, but now I'm not worried at all.

Lin Feng has been staying at McKenna's farm for the past few days.

McKenna's rattlesnake farm isn't far, about a 20-minute drive away.

Although the villa is not as big as the Black Lotus Farm, it is comfortable to live in.

McKenna served him hand and foot, and he could ride horses and drink alcohol whenever he wanted, living a carefree and leisurely life.

On the third day, Anna also arrived at the farm.

She flew in from Washington, D.C., took two connecting flights, and drove for two hours before finally finding McKenna's farm.

He looked exhausted when he got off the bus.

As soon as she entered the door, she rushed over and hugged Lin Feng, saying, "Lin, I missed you."

Lin Feng patted her on the back and smiled.

Naturally, he knew her purpose; she was most likely there to lift the curse.

Anna rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

Anna stayed that night.

Lin Feng noticed that the woman's bite force was getting stronger and stronger.

Anna nestled in his arms, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"Lin, how about you go live in New York for a while?"

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised.

Why go to New York?

Anna looked up at him.

"That way, when I come to you to lift the curse, I won't have to travel so far."

Plane then car, a whole day of travel, I'm exhausted.

Lin Feng smiled.

"It's okay, it's good to get around more, you can enjoy the scenery along the way."

He paused, then said, "Anyway, you came here for more than just to lift the curse."

Horse riding, fishing, drinking—you can do it all here.

Anna shrugged and shook her head.

"No, I'm too busy with work."

"I've been busy with a lot of things at the CIA lately, so I can't be away for too long."

Lin Feng nodded and didn't try to persuade him further.

He suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, regarding the Black Lotus Farm, keep it low-key on the internet."

Suppress it if you can; the less information, the better.

Anna blinked and understood what he meant.

"This kind of thing... the CIA mainly deals with foreign countries, while the FBI is more direct domestically."

You should contact the FBI.

Lin Feng shrugged.

"I don't know anyone at the FBI, and I'm too lazy to look for them."

Anna smiled helplessly.

"Okay, I'll help you."

She paused, then suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, Lin, are you still undocumented in the US? Should I get you a green card?"

Lin Feng didn't care about this at all, but after thinking about it, he felt it would be convenient to have one.

"Sure, is this troublesome?"

"No problem at all," Anna said casually. "Or I could just get you a passport and a Chinese American ID card."

Which one do you find more convenient?

Lin Feng didn't even think about it.

"I want them all."

Anna paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Fine, you greedy bastard."

As she spoke, she leaned closer, wanting to kiss Lin Feng on the cheek.

Lin Feng tilted his head and dodged it.

Anna snorted, somewhat displeased.

She tried to get closer, but was rejected.

-

The next day, to reward Anna.

Lin Feng claimed he would cook for Anna himself, but in reality, he arranged for her to have a plate of monster meat from his spatial storage.

Pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma.

Anna picked up a piece with her fork, put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow! What kind of meat is this? It tastes so good!"

She kept praising it, stuffing one piece after another into her mouth, completely disregarding her image.

"Eat more if you like it." Lin Feng looked at her with a smile.

The plate of meat was quickly emptied.
