My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

It seems their headquarters are in the Western Regions, and they've even made perfume. Could they really have other fellow countrymen here?

Chapter 223 Chamber of Commerce

Qi Yu looked at Qian Hongfang and tentatively spoke.

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"

Qian Hongfang and Zhou Zixun next to him were completely bewildered. What was this all about?

Qi Yu thought for a moment, maybe the other person was a poor student and didn't know that odd changes and even doesn't.

"The bright moonlight shines before my bed? What's the next line?" Qi Yu asked again.

Qian Hongfang still looked bewildered, not understanding what it meant.

Not Chinese? Don't you even know that?

"What's the name of the president of your chamber of commerce?" Qi Yu asked.

Asking someone's name out of the blue is very impolite, but you should still ask.

Qian Hongfang asked curiously, "Wen Zun, why are you asking about our president?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe your president and I are from the same hometown!"

Qian Hongfang looked puzzled upon hearing this. Qi Yu was from the Dayun Dynasty, so how could he possibly know their leader?

Despite thinking that way, they still revealed their president's name.

“Our president’s name is Zhao Yu!” Qian Hongfang said.

Qi Yu couldn't believe this name sounded like it belonged to a foreigner!

"Could you tell me who developed the perfume?" Qi Yu asked.

Qian Hongfang laughed and said, "That's no problem. It was extracted from a flower petal by chance by our president's daughter, Zhao Ya."

Qi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Zhao Ya, by chance?

If there are any other people from the same hometown, it should be Zhao Ya.

If you have the chance, try to get in touch and see if it's a good fit.

However, we shouldn't have too high hopes. After all, perfume was created from scratch. Why can people on Earth develop it, but people here can't?

"What brings you two to Yulin Bookstore?" Qian Hongfang asked.

Qi Yu snapped out of his daze, then pointed at Zhou Zixun and said, "He's going to publish a book and wants me to come and take a look."

Qian Hongfang looked at Zhou Zixun with some helplessness; Zhou Zixun had come many times already.

But what he wrote does have some problems!

It can be sold privately, but it can also be displayed openly. This is practically a huge social disaster scene.

This is tantamount to running naked in the street!

Anyone who dares to openly sell pornographic books in broad daylight will be invited to the county government for tea in no time.

“Young Master Zhou, I have already made myself very clear to you. Even if you bring Wen Zun here, it will not work. This is a matter of principle.”

Zhou Zixun took out the manuscript and said, "Mr. Qian, please take a look. If it's not good this time, I won't come again."

Since Zhou Zixun had said so, for the sake of future stability, Qian Hongfang had no choice but to accept it and read it carefully.

As he read, his initially indifferent expression became lively and interesting, and he read page after page, quickly finishing all fourteen pages.

Qian Hongfang casually placed the manuscript paper aside without returning it to Zhou Zixun.

“Young Master Zhou, this is very interesting. Perhaps we can discuss publishing a book,” Qian Hongfang said with a smile.

Zhou Zixun was delighted, but he quickly calmed down and left with one of the men Qian Hongfang had called.

Qian Hongfang stayed in the hall with Qi Yu.

Qian Hongfang invited Qi Yu to the rest area and served him the finest Yunwu tea.

Qi Yu didn't understand tea, so drinking tea was just a way for him to quench his thirst; he would gulp it down in one go.

The tea soothes the throat, leaving a refreshing fragrance. The initial bitterness on the tongue gradually gives way to a sweet aftertaste. It must be said that this is truly a fine tea.

It seems that none of the people Qi Yu knows are knowledgeable about tea.

Then, involuntarily, Lin Ruoxi's image appeared in my mind.

It seems that only she knows how to brew tea, and she can make a unique flavor from ordinary tea leaves.

But now that I see her, I want to kill her; I have no mind to think about anything else.

The woman has gradually brought the datura poison she planted in herself under control recently. As long as she stops taking it, she should be fine.

“Wen Zun, you are now surrounded by enemies. Would you be interested in joining our Yu Man Lou Chamber of Commerce?” Qian Hongfang asked.

He had heard a little about what had happened to Qi Yu, but for them, merchants, there was no such thing as good or evil.

They also do business with demonic cultivators; after all, having more options is always a good thing.

In business, the Yu Man Lou Chamber of Commerce wouldn't care about Qi Yu's status.

Qi Yu pondered for a moment. The Jade Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was a large chamber of commerce with branches all over the mainland.

The Yu Man Lou Chamber of Commerce is a union of countless smaller chambers of commerce, operating on the principle of sharing wealth and jointly managing the chamber.

"Which company are you from?" Qi Yu asked.

When partners go into business together, it's inevitable that they will split and form factions once the business grows large.

Qian Hongfang smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "I am the master of the house!"

Although the Yu Man Lou Chamber of Commerce is composed of dozens of smaller chambers of commerce, only three are truly at the top. These are the three that invested the most and acquired the most shares.

The Zhao family, the initiator, is the main family, and the general president is a member of the Zhao family.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yu shook his head and said, "Forget it. Your Chamber of Commerce is too complicated. If I join, I'll have to take sides, which will inevitably offend a lot of people."

"In that case, I'd better not go. I hate trouble."

Going to the Jade Pavilion Chamber of Commerce won't bring me anything; on the contrary, it will offend many people. I'm not stupid, so why would I go into troubled waters?

Qian Hongfang didn't say anything more. He had only asked the question and didn't expect Qi Yu to agree.

He doesn't even care about the position of head of the church, so why would he be willing to work as a errand boy in a chamber of commerce?

"Is the Venerable Master aware that in the middle of next month, Lin Yuchen, the young master of Tianya Haige, will formally propose marriage to Ziqi Pavilion?"

Qian Hongfang spoke calmly and casually, as if he were just chatting to find a topic to talk about.

Qi Yu frowned. Tianya Haige and Ziqi Pavilion were to form a marriage alliance?

With whom?

Qian Hongfang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "So you didn't know, Venerable Wenzun! The young master of Tianya Haige is naturally proposing marriage to Ouyang Ruoxue, the eldest disciple of Ziqi Pavilion."

"Only Ouyang Ruoxue is worthy of Lin Yuchen."

When he said this, Qian Hongfang looked at Qi Yu with a strange expression.

If the rumors are true, then Qi Yu married the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect, Dongfang Mengyue, or rather, Su Yue.

Su Yue is the most famous genius in the last five years. She achieved the first rank at the age of twenty, entered the Grandmaster level before she was twenty, and had already reached the Dao before she was twenty-one.

Judging from the battle outside the capital city, she is already close to the Spirit Gathering stage.

Moreover, she is very likely to become a near-saint, or even a saint.

Before Qi Yu and Su Yue's relationship was made public, Lin Yuchen was the most likely to win the heart of the beauty.

Because he was also a genius, and his status was similar to Su Yue's, they were a perfect match—a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Because of their talent and strength, many people subconsciously overlook the faction they belong to.

Many plays and rumors spread like wildfire across mainland China back then, creating a very serious atmosphere.

This is typical meddling and stirring up trouble, since it's free anyway.

Chapter 224 Foundation

The marriage alliance between Ziqi Pavilion and Tianya Haige was like a storm, leaving countless forces astonished, yet finding it perfectly reasonable.

Over the years, Tianya Haige and Ziqi Ge have always stood on the same side. No matter what decision Tianya Haige makes, Ziqi Ge is always the first to stand up and support it.

Qi Yu emerged from the Yulin Bookstore with a serious expression.

If it's just one-on-one, I'm confident I can handle Ziqi Pavilion and Tianya Haige one by one.

However, if these two forces were to unite, he would be somewhat powerless to resist.

The Purple Qi Pavilion originally had two Grandmasters, but Ouyang Ruoxue is a rising star, so there is now three.

However, in the battle to besiege himself and the Taoist sect in the capital, Su Yue killed one of them, leaving only two.

The Grand Elder of Tianya Haige seemed to be present as well, but Su Yue had followed her orders to eliminate the six major families and had not pursued the Grand Elder.

Otherwise, the Grand Elder of Tianya Haige would also be finished.

His own talent seemed to be a good match for Su Yue's, and it would bring indescribable benefits to her power.

At that time, his control over his true energy was already very weak, so he held on to his last breath and transferred all his talent to Su Yue.

The effect was quite good, instantly pushing Su Yue to the peak of the Dao Integration stage, the half-step Spirit Gathering realm.

With Su Yue's help and some arrangements, sweeping through the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Pavilion wouldn't be a problem.

But now that Su Yue is pregnant, he will never let her take any risks, not even the slightest one.

Then I'll have to handle this myself.

It will be in the middle of next month, which is 23 days away.

If I can reconnect my meridians and learn to store true qi using my heart orifice, then I should be able to sweep through the entire Purple Qi Pavilion.
