Omnipotent Overlord

On a Sunday at noon, Li Mo was in a cab going to Phoenix District.

Now that all procedures were handled, he was moving into his new home.

Li Mo didn’t have anything worth taking to begin with. With a bit of packing, he was ready to move.

He just stepped out of the cab when he heard Huang Yao’s cry of shock. “Li Mo, what are you doing here?”

At the neighborhood’s entrance, Huang Yao was holding two briefcases along with a few female classmates behind her carrying random stuff. 

Li Mo knew them all. If not of the same class, they were in the same grade.

“Ye Mei didn’t tell even her boyfriend so how come Li Mo found out?”

“Don’t tell me the two of them…”

“As if! How can Ye Mei, with her family, look at Li Mo?”

“He is nothing to look at either.”

“Wasn’t he with Huang Yao?”

“Yeah…”

The girls gossiped in hushed tones, but no matter how faint their voices were, Li Mo heard them loud and clear.

Century Middle School’s Three Great Beauties was composed of Lin Qingrou, An Yuxin, as well as Ye Mei.

Lin Qingrou was a mystery. It was normal for her to miss out a month or two of school. An Yuxin was a diligent and good girl. As for Ye Mei, she was the most famous. Her mother was a middle class movie celebrity, not a superstar, but enough to be the most known person in Feng City.

Ye Mei’s father held an office in a game developing company. The people used to think he was Ye Mei’s mother’s gigolo. Until the Thunderstruck Enterprise was established and he was elected the vice-chairman of the Chinese division. From then on, everyone knew this gigolo never leaned on Ye Mei’s mother. In fact, it was the other way around. 

Ye Mei had money and power, growing up among rich social circles. It was because of her upbringing that this young miss became high-maintenance with hardly anyone catching her eyes.

“Since you’re here, come and help. Hurry it up.” Huang Yao beckoned Li Mo and pointed to a large case.

Li Mo hesitated before picking it up.

“Hurry, what are you dilly dallying about?” Ye Mei yelled from inside the neighborhood.

Ye Mei was slender, dolled up in brands. But her biggest feature, was that she was a neat freak.

She was wearing a white Louis Vuitton clothing, sunglasses, face mask, and make-up just like a star.

These schoolgirls all came to help Ye Mei move, although Ye Mei wasn’t the kind of person to move anything.

She didn’t hire movers because she found them filthy and rang her schoolmates instead.

All of Century Middle School knew Ye Mei’s family had money. As she had money, the gold-digger Huang Yao was all over her in curing favor. 

“Step on it.” Huang Yao wanted to show off to Ye Mei, rushing down the road and almost fell down. 

Ye Mei berated, “Careful! The case is filled with brands. Even the cheapest is at least a hundred thousand!”

Li Mo followed the girls carrying the case to Ye Mei’s home.

Ye Mei’s home was a mansion, but fell short in size and location when compared to Qin Zhen’s.

“Wait here, and remove your shoes.”

Ye Mei stormed into the mansion with a mask on her nose. She then came out and threw some socks. 

“Change your socks. They’re all brands. Put them on and follow me.”

Huang Yao was the first to do it. She didn’t find it shameful at all, quite normal in fact.

“What are you waiting for? These are Channels!” Huang Yao asked when she saw Li Mo standing there.

Li Mo answered, “I won’t go in. Why should I when all the items are here?”

Huang Yao whispered, “Why are you leaving? Ye Mei will throw a party after.”

Li Mo pondered, “I’m also moving.”

Huang Yao was startled, “Did you rent a new house? Here?”

“Yes, but not a rental, it’s a sale.”

“Wow, Li Mo also bought a house in the Phoenix District?”

“Really? Then we should get better acquainted with him.”

“My greatest wish is to have a small house in the Phoenix District.”

The girls whispered among each other at Li Mo’s response.

Ye Mei looked at him oddly too.

“You rent-, bought a house? Where?” Huang Yao’s eyes shined over Li Mo. The cheapest house in Phoenix District was around a hundred thousand, so how could Li Mo get one with his wealth?

“That one.” Li Mo pointed at a mansion.

Huang Yao was stupefied.

“Pff.” Ye Mei laughed.

The girls were out of it for a moment then laughed together.

“Y-you can leave.” Huang Yao’s face kept changing colors. Li Mo may have not been her ideal man, but watching him make a fool of himself felt embarrassing.

Of course, this embarrassment was only limited to this encounter only.

“Uh, ok.” Li Mo nodded, laughter following in his departure.

Ye Mei shook from laughter, “Alright, enough laughing. Bring the cases inside, on the double. Take them to the living room and don’t wander while I’m changing.”

“Wow, a two stories mansion! How grand, how luxurious!”

“Wow, such a pretty design. It must have cost a lot!”

“Be careful and don’t wander off, especially in my room. You’re too filthy!” Ye Mei yelled.

Li Mo came to his new home and found all the items in their rightful place.

That chinaware was still there, as Qin Zhen only took with him the daily necessities and clothes.

This was definitely a fortune, but nothing compared to the 15% of Qin Corporation’s stocks. 

“With this much money, I will get to buy many treasures at the upcoming auction.”

Li Mo muttered.

Li Mo strolled around the mansion. He chose the Phoenix District because of the thicker spiritual qi here than in any other area. Though a mix of all kinds of types, it was nothing a small array couldn’t filter for the type he needed. 

Li Mo set the antiques in the mansion into the shape of a four-sided Spiritual Gathering Array. It was quite the plain array, as the materials on hand were sub par, cutting away at its efficiency. Yet even with all that, it would still trump all other arrays in the secular world.

With the array in place, spiritual qi gathered from all four directions.

Li Mo was breathing in with a smile. “All that’s left is to turn it into an eight-sided Spiritual Gathering Array and this place will soon become a natural feng shui environment!”
