While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Cao Kun was also speechless.

Does this mean that not only will we not make any money on this trip, but we'll also have to lose a house?

[Oh well, so be it. I've earned over 50 merit points, so this trip isn't a complete loss.]

"Well……"

Just as Cao Kun was about to speak, Anne-Heather spoke first: "Master Cao, thank you. Wait a moment, I'll pay you the remaining balance."

Cao Kun was somewhat surprised that Anne Hathaway didn't mention the house compensation.

Cao Kun waved his hand and said, "There's no need for the final payment. Let's talk about your house."

Anne-Heather said softly, "The house is what it is. You ended up like this because you were trying to save me."

Otherwise, I might be dead already; I know how dangerous that was.

Cao Kun nodded secretly.

Anne Hathaway did impress him.

Cao Kun: "I have removed the curse from this land. Now, it is safe for people to live here."

Go find someone to rebuild the house; I'll cover the costs.

Anne Hathaway: "No need. I'm already traumatized by this house. Even if it's built, I don't want to live there anymore."

Originally, I planned to pay you $10 to clean it up before selling it.

Since things have turned out this way, let's just leave it as it is.

Seeing that Cao Kun was about to speak again, Anne-Heather emphasized her tone: "Master Cao, I insist."

Cao Kun laughed and said, "Alright, then you don't need to pay the balance."

Anne Hathaway laughed and said, "Okay, let's use the remaining payment to compensate for the damage to this house."

Cao Kun nodded: "Do you have anywhere to stay now? Or, how about a hotel?"

Anne-Heather asked somewhat shyly, "Master Cao, may I stay at your house for the night?"

Cao Kun was taken aback.

What does this mean?

However, he really couldn't refuse after turning someone else's house into this state.

Cao Kun: "Okay, pack your things and come with me."

"Wait for me a moment."

Anne-Heather happily agreed and prepared to run into the house.

But after taking a step, she stopped abruptly: "Master Cao, are you really sure everything's alright now?"

Cao Kun shook his head and chuckled, "Let's go, I'll go in with you."

I accompanied Anne Hathaway into the house, where there were still pieces of debris and messy furniture everywhere.

However, the previous chill is dissipating.

Even someone as ordinary as Anne Hathaway could sense that things were truly different.

But she still asked Cao Kun to accompany her upstairs to pack her things.

Fortunately, although the first floor was messy, the second floor remained orderly and was not damaged.

In fact, Anne Hathaway could still stay here under these circumstances.

Even if it's a dilapidated building, it shouldn't collapse so quickly.

But perhaps she really has psychological trauma, and has no intention of staying at all.

She found a large suitcase and packed a lot of clothes inside.

Then, they found another box and filled it with all sorts of toiletries, skincare products, cosmetics, and other miscellaneous items.

Cao Kun was not surprised.

Scarlett, like everyone else, brings a huge pile of stuff whenever she goes out.

That is, Flesia, who is very simple and has nothing, can stay at Cao Kun's place for several days.

Anne-Hatherie was about to carry two large suitcases when Cao Kun said, "Let me do it."

With a wave of his hand, the two boxes vanished without a trace.

Although she was already used to Cao Kun's amazing abilities, Anne Hathaway was still taken aback, and her eyes lit up a little more as she looked at Cao Kun.

As Cao Kun went downstairs and into the front yard, the two drove their cars, one after the other, away from the dilapidated building.

Following Cao Kun's car into Beverly Hills, Anne Heather in the car behind showed a slight expression of surprise.

Upon arriving at Cao Kun's mansion, Anne Hathaway was utterly dumbfounded.

She never expected that Cao Kun, an exorcist, would live in Beverly Hills, and in such a luxurious mansion at that.

As the car drove into the garage and Cao Kun entered the living room, Anne Hathaway felt an even stronger sense of wonder.

She looked at the house, then at Cao Kun, and asked somewhat blankly, "Are exorcists really that well-paid?"

Cao Kun smiled and said, "It's alright."

Anne Hathaway: "I thought that even if you were rich, you wouldn't be much better off than me."

But I was wrong.

You and I are worlds apart, like heaven and earth.

Cao Kun: "Let's go, let's choose your room."

Cao Kun led Anne-Heather to a guest room on the second floor.

Anne-Heather chose a room that was closer to Cao Kun's master bedroom.

This time, Cao Kun didn't mention the basement.

To avoid the same situation as Megan last time.

The more it was mentioned, the more curious Anne Hathaway became, and the more she wanted to find out.

Even when Cao Kun was still a teacher, he was able to intimidate the moth monster.

Now, he is the Little Celestial Master, and the Moth Monster is as docile as a lamb in his presence, daring not to cause any trouble.

Anne-Hatherie discovered that even a client's room was larger and more luxurious than her master bedroom.

There's really no comparison.

Cao Kun: "It's getting late, you should rest. If you're hungry, there's food in the refrigerator in the kitchen, you can cook something for yourself."

"I can't cook," Anne-Heather said, a little embarrassed.

Cao Kun: "Then let's eat fruit."

Anne-Heather nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Good night."

After saying one sentence, Cao Kun turned around and went back to his room.

After taking a shower, Cao Kun entered the system.

Merit points: 706800.

My merit points have reached over 70, but the upgrade button next to my cultivation level is still grayed out and I can't upgrade.

Cao Kun was also somewhat helpless.

Basshiba said she was powerful, but she was only a D-class ghost, albeit a rather powerful one.

While she may not seem particularly powerful, she set up a sacrificial array that forced Cao Kun to use the "Great Dipper Spell".

But it's normal that such an in-between situation is worth 50 merit points.

This made things very difficult for Cao Kun, as he couldn't even advance one level.

He is currently a seventh-rank minor celestial master, and it will take him a full 128 million merit points to advance to the next rank.

Cao Kun sighed inwardly and looked at the other spells.

If he could upgrade the "Great Divine Mantra of the Big Dipper," he definitely would.

However, spells of the spell type generally improve as one's cultivation level increases, and there are no specific levels.

The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, the Summoning God Technique, and the Talisman Technique have all been upgraded to the fifth level.

As for the other skills, alchemy and weapon crafting, upgrading them now is not very meaningful.

Without materials, leveling up is useless.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Kun used 20 merit points to upgrade the "Taiqing Sword Technique" and "Qi Observation Technique" to the fifth level.

These two are relatively practical.

As a result, his merit points were reduced to only 506800.

To advance a spell from level five to level six, a full 100 million merit points are required.

That's enough for another promotion.

After logging out of the system, Cao Kun lay on the bed, ready to sleep.

At that moment, her spiritual senses detected a life force approaching him.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of light footsteps could be heard.

The next moment, a knock sounded on the door.

Knock knock...
