Urban: After Retiring, the Immortal Emperor Became a Landlord

Chen Yan cultivated until no one in another world could rival him, then finally returned to Earth.

His parents are still here, the breakfast shop at the end of the street is still open, but most of the apartments in the building his family rents out are empty.

He decides to stay, fix up the place, collect rent, and enjoy a peaceful life with his family.

While clearing out the basement, he casually smooths over a spatial rift.

That night, the Abnormal Affairs Center holds an emergency meeting.

The next day, Xu Zhiwei, assigned to investigate, stands downstairs, reads the rental ad, and calls him.

"Is the south-facing room on the second floor still available?"

From then on, the building gradually comes alive.

A newly awakened delivery driver practices controlling his speed with the landlord; a wounded old martial artist who retired from the world feels his old injuries improving after a cup of tea; and a young woman from the Spirit Realm, skilled in artifact crafting, is learning to accept payments by QR code.

The longer Xu Zhiwei lives there, the harder her investigation report becomes to write.

Especially after one late night, she sees with her own eyes the anomaly that had the entire team on high alert get pushed back with a single hand from the landlord.

He doesn't even put down his spatula.

Later, the Spirit Realm opens, and factions from all sides rush to Linjiang.

Someone follows the rumors to Qingshi Street, announcing that they want to meet the owner of the place.

Chen Yan wipes his hands and walks out of the kitchen, glancing at the courtyard gate they've kicked in.

"You can come in."

"Pay for the gate first."
