Luo Ya was taken aback, but then her eyes lit up, and she burst into laughter through her tears, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Okay, okay, I'm willing, I'm willing!"
She didn't even care how much salary Zhou Xuan would give her, and she didn't mention it at all. Even if Zhou Xuan didn't give her any money, she would still be willing.
Zhou Xuan naturally hadn't thought about that issue. For him, money was the least important thing. However, since Luo Ya readily agreed, Zhou Xuan felt relieved. The main problem was that this woman was too beautiful. If she weren't so beautiful, it would have been easier for him to bring her home. Bringing such a beautiful woman home would inevitably arouse suspicion from his family. Fortunately, Fu Ying agreed. If Fu Ying had spoken up for him, things would have been much easier.
As Zhou Xuan drove, he said to Luo Ya, "Do you know about my family situation? This job..."
Before Zhou Xuan could even speak, Luo Ya interrupted, "I know, I know! There are hardly any people in the world who don't know about the Fu family's situation. A few days ago, they acquired all of the Fu family's shares and two other large companies in the stock market for hundreds of billions of US dollars, making the Fu family wholly owned and forcibly delisting them. The Fu family has thus become the world's richest family. Of course I know about this news!"
In fact, Luo Ya did know about the Fu family's situation. She had specifically investigated Zhou Xuan and found more information about him, so she was very clear about the Fu family's situation. She also knew that Fu Ying, the beautiful and proud daughter of the Fu family, was deeply in love with Zhou Xuan. At the time, she couldn't understand why Fu Ying, with her stunning beauty and unparalleled wealth, would like such an ordinary man as Zhou Xuan.
Now, Luo Ya understood that Zhou Xuan was kind-hearted, and beneath his ordinary appearance lay an incredibly powerful skill that Luo Ya could not even imagine!
Luo Ya had a different thought. During this time, she had unknowingly fallen in love with Zhou Xuan. Although Zhou Xuan was unaware of this, she had indeed fallen for him. Her love for Zhou Xuan wasn't because she now knew he had extraordinary skills, but because of his tough exterior but soft heart. Even though she had hurt him so much in the past, in the end, when her life was in danger, Zhou Xuan still lent a helping hand, which moved her and made her like him. Even knowing that Zhou Xuan was married, had children, a family, and was happy, she still wanted to follow him without any regrets.
Zhou Xuan was naturally unaware of Luo Ya's thoughts, as he had not attempted to probe her mind. Had he known that Luo Ya's interest in the Fu family stemmed from her feelings for him, he would never have brought her home.
What pleased Luo Ya was that since Zhou Xuan had agreed to take her home, she was confident that she could win his heart. That confidence naturally came from her stunning beauty.
Zhou Xuan drove to a street corner away from Chinatown, then stopped and abandoned the car. He didn't want to drive this stolen gangster vehicle to his doorstep and cause trouble. RO! ~!
Volume 1, Chapter 660: The Power of Eyes (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
The two walked towards the Fu family villa, one after the other. Zhou Xuan intentionally walked ahead, not side by side with Luo Ya. Upon reaching the villa entrance, the bodyguards inside excitedly greeted Zhou Xuan, with Chen Chao at the head. After several bodyguards came out to greet him, they suddenly noticed the stunningly beautiful Luo Ya following behind Zhou Xuan. Under the radiant glow of her beauty, the bodyguards were all stunned.
Zhou Xuan was quite embarrassed, but it was understandable. It's not surprising that men would have such expressions when they see such a beautiful woman. It's just that Luo Ya is too beautiful.
Originally, Fu Ying's beauty was no less than Luo Ya's, but the two were two different types. Fu Ying was dignified and calm, while Luo Ya was alluring and charming. Of course, she didn't have that kind of personality, but that's the impression she gave off.
Zhou Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed. No matter how tough and cold his attitude was, all his efforts were rendered futile under the expressions of Chen Chao and his bodyguards.
Luo Ya greeted them cheerfully and introduced herself, stating in a generous manner that she would soon be the Fu family's housekeeper and hoped they would take good care of her in the future.
Chen Chao and the others immediately chimed in with laughter. Zhou Xuan's arrival had transformed the cold and serious Fu family into a warm new home, making their relationship feel like that of family members, which was why they were so casual.
After bringing Luo Ya into the living room, Zhou Xuan immediately forced a smile and said to Fu Tian, "Grandpa, this is... Miss Luo Ya..."
Fu Tianlai nodded, glanced at Luo Ya, and Luo Ya, still very obedient, quickly said, "Mr. Fu, I am Luo Ya. I hope to gain your approval. I really need this job and will try my best to do it well!"
Fu Tianlai pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I won't object to anything that Zhou Xuan and Yingying have decided and agreed to. But I hope you will remember your place in the future, be clear about what you are doing, and not cross the line. That's my requirement!"
Faced with Fu Tianlai's piercing gaze, Luo Ya immediately understood his meaning. It was because he was still uneasy about her beauty and prettiness that he was warning her to recognize her own identity.
Luo Ya then introduced everyone in the Fu family to Zhou Xuan, in the following order: Fu Yuhai, Zhou Cangsong, Jin Xiumei, and finally Fu Ying.
Seeing Fu Ying holding the incredibly beautiful, rosy-cheeked little Sisi, both mother and daughter were equally stunning. Even Luo Ya, who was always confident in her own appearance, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy and admiration upon seeing Fu Ying's beauty. This woman was indeed so beautiful that even Luo Ya herself felt insecure.
Although he had seen Fu Ying in the newspaper before, she was far less impressive than her real appearance. Zhou Xuan sat to the side, wisely remaining silent.
Fu Tianlai introduced Luo Ya to the family situation and some household chores that needed to be managed and handled every day, so that Luo Ya understood what she had to do. Finally, he asked Wang Sao to take her around the house to familiarize her with the environment.
First, Aunt Wang arranged a room for Luo Ya, and then introduced her to the family. She explained that if Luo Ya became the Fu family's housekeeper, she would be Aunt Wang's superior. A housekeeper's job is to manage the daily affairs of the Fu family, big or small, covering everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation. Many people understand that a housekeeper is essentially just a high-class nanny.
The first thing Luo Ya did was accompany Wang's wife and two bodyguards to the supermarket in a van to buy household necessities, with Luo Ya handling the purchase order.
After Luo Ya left, Zhou Xuan went to the courtyard to check on the medicinal herbs. He first took a large ginseng root, washed it, and took it to the living room. He then tore it into small strips and threw them into the pond. He then spoke to the strange fish with his mind: "Dinner is ready. This is a highly nourishing ginseng. I estimate that the current amount should be enough for you for at least three months."
The strange fish didn't need Zhou Xuan to call it; it had already swum to the surface of the pool, eating while sending a message: "You seem very excited today. Did you try out your steel body and mind-reading ability?"
"I have indeed tried it. The hardness of my body far exceeds that of steel. When a bullet hits me, I don't even feel it, I don't feel any impact at all!"
Zhou Xuan nodded and replied, "I'm starting to believe you. Anyway, I still appreciate your guidance... What's your name? I'd like to have a proper way of addressing you; it's inconvenient to keep using 'you' and 'me'."
The strange fish said, "I have no name. If you must call me something, why not just call me Strange Fish? That's what you think too, isn't it?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled. This strange fish did have a sense of humor. He immediately said, "Strange fish? Hehe, alright, I'll call you Strange Fish from now on. What special skills do you have to teach me today?"
The strange fish laughed and said, "You're quite the opportunist. You give me a little food and expect a reward. Fine, I promised you anyway, so I'll teach you. First, what kind of ability do you want? Let me see if I have that ability!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "What I want, hehe, super-fast flight, capable of cutting through any X-ray, soaring through the sky and diving into the earth, omnipotent, can you do that?"
Zhou Xuan's words still carried a hint of sarcasm. If things went as he thought, he did indeed have many abilities he desired, especially flying. From a young age, he envied birds when he saw them flying in the sky and wished he could fly freely in the blue sky as well. However, he knew then that it was just a fantasy.
Later, after watching the Hollywood sci-fi movie "Superman," he saw the true power of flight. However, he still understood that it was still a fantasy, an unattainable level. Since gaining superpowers, Zhou Xuan had never thought that he could fly, even after reaching one high point after another. Even with incredible superpowers, he still didn't have that idea. Deep down, he always believed that it was just an impossible level to reach.
But now, listening to what that strange fish is saying, it seems that flying isn't impossible. It's quite funny; is it true or false?
The strange fish chuckled and said, "Flying? Heh heh, that's extremely difficult. Of course, maybe one day you'll be able to fly, but I haven't had enough to eat yet. Today, I'll teach you how to shoot beams of light from your eyes that can destroy all matter."
"That works too," Zhou Xuan smiled. He had seen it in the movie Superman. One of Superman's abilities was that his eyes could emit red rays.
"Actually, your abilities are already very strong, but you don't know how to use them. For most people with superpowers, the enhancement of their abilities requires slow training and practice, but you are different. I discovered that you can directly obtain energy from sunlight, which is far beyond the average superpower."
The strange fish continued, "Zhou Xuan's abilities are indeed very peculiar. Moreover, you possess two extremely opposite abilities, one cold and one hot. The coldness reaches its extreme, and the heat reaches its extreme as well. The source of your cold ability is somewhat similar to the ability I possess, but you also have another ability, which is the super heat energy of sunlight. You can feel that you can reach extremely high temperatures, seemingly comparable to the magma underground. Once you understand some methods of using this energy, you can obtain that ability!"
Zhou Xuan seemed to be deep in thought. According to what the strange fish said, his own abilities were already very strong. Zhou Xuan knew this without the strange fish saying it. He had acquired several abilities unintentionally through practice. He also knew that he might be able to learn many more abilities, but he would have to spend a lot of time thinking about them and testing them.
"Human vision is essentially at the speed of light. It's just that human eyesight can't see that far, but speed is the fastest human ability, far exceeding the speed of sound. If you concentrate the high-temperature power of the solar flames into your eyes and attach it to your gaze, your eyes can use the power of the solar flames. In fact, the superpowers you unconsciously project are basically the same. However, your detection range is probably only around 400 meters, not much further. This is actually a bottleneck. If you want to go any further, it will be extremely difficult. But if you infuse your superpowers into your eyes and shoot them out with your gaze, then the solar flames can shoot as far as your gaze can reach. Of course, the farther the distance, the weaker the power."
Zhou Xuan was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Really?" As he spoke, he activated the power of the Solar Flame, slowly gathering it in his eyes. Then he looked in front of him and, following the method the strange fish had described, tried to see the energy of the Solar Flame through his eyes. On the first try, Zhou Xuan could feel that the energy did not shoot out with his eyes.
It seems this ability isn't so easy to learn, but Zhou Xuan isn't discouraged. Anyway, he has time and nothing else to do, so he'll practice slowly. The strange fish didn't say anything more. It doesn't matter what you practice; the master leads you in, but the cultivation is up to you. Whether you can master it or not depends on your own fate.
However, Zhou Xuan still doubted the truthfulness of what the strange fish said. But because he had learned the steel body and mind-reading ability from it, he couldn't completely disbelieve it. Everything still needed to be verified.
Zhou Xuan closed his eyes, then gathered his energy into them, and then opened them to force his energy to shoot out with his gaze. He tried more than ten times without success. His gaze was invisible, but the supernatural power felt like a tangible substance in Zhou Xuan's body.
The next time, Zhou Xuan focused his mind and calmed his spirit. With a glare, his supernatural power shot out, though it wasn't very strong. The intense heat of the sun's flames flashed by, burning a hole the size of a small finger through the floor tiles.
