I Have Several Hundred Million-Yuan Projects I'd Like to Discuss with Her

The news of Xiao Ran's victory over Murong Yu did not cause much of a stir in Chaos City.

Murong Yu is very strong.

However, Xiao Ran, who was also a prodigy and was selected by surpassing Lu Pingtian, was naturally no ordinary person. It was not easy for him to defeat Murong Yu, but it was not a strange thing either.

As for Xiao Ran's Qi Refining Cultivation Level, the city dwellers were not much shocked. Instead, they accused Zongzhi Mountain Xiao Ran of hiding his Cultivation Level and that the Dao Alliance was manipulating things behind the scenes.

This is Chaos City, the city of hunters, the city of freedom. What kind of geniuses haven't we seen? What kind of shady dealings haven't we witnessed? And criticizing the Dao Alliance is commonplace here.

On the way to the North City with his Master, Xiao Ran received another message from the Black Ring Group.

[No Money Get Lost: Gentleman, you failed again. Xiao Ran has arrived in Chaos City and encountered and defeated the prodigy Murong Yu in Wanhua Ward.]

Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the incident at Wanhua Ward.

A quarter of an hour wasn't enough time for him and his Master to fly from the west of the city to the north.

Meanwhile, this "No Money Get Lost" had already received news that he had defeated Murong Yu.

Each profession has its own expertise.

I can't say.

Gentleman responded quickly.

[Gentleman: Before entering the city, I saw Xiao Ran and Murong Yu traveling together on Water Drop, but I was busy at the time and didn't take action.]

Xiao Ran—

"???"

Even running that fast, he still got spotted? Wasn't this guy in the Saint Demon Sect before? Xiao Ran's stealth ability is better when he's alone.

Sitting on the Murong Yu's Water Drop was comfortable, but unfortunately it also revealed their whereabouts.

It seems one shouldn't easily get on a woman's boat.

[Body Severing: I've met Murong Yu. This woman is no pushover; her Cultivation Method are incredibly difficult to deal with. Anyone below the Spirit Severing who defeats her will be severely injured.]

[Rumor: I bet someone's more worried about Xiao Ran than Xiao Ran Murong Yu. Is he afraid of losing face in front of a woman by not being able to take Xiao Ran away? You need to arrest him sooner rather than later. If he defeats another Spirit Severing cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator one day, you won't be able to persuade him to leave.]

[Gentleman:...]

[Body Severing: After three days of Qi Refining, he defeated Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivators in succession. Now he can even easily defeat Nascent Soul cultivators. Is this Xiao Ran aiming for Qi Refining and Ascension to Immortality?]

With that said, Xiao Ran also began to recount the events of the past two months.

In his own view, he had worked hard to fulfill his filial duty to his Master step by step with the system, and he felt that he had finally achieved his current success.

But to outsiders: Are you trying to fly to the heavens? [Mad Hunt: Could this person be a clone of Qian Junzi? Could he become an obstacle to our plans?]

The group was completely silent.

Just when everyone thought the group chat was over, Stated Dao had been hiding for a long time, finally spoke.

[The Stated Dao: There are nine Nine Radiances, Qian Junzi is only one of them. If one of the Nine Radiances can stop our plan, then such a plan cannot possibly succeed. Although Xiao Ran is eccentric, please do not underestimate yourselves.]

One sentence stabilized the morale of the troops.

Xiao Ran's feeling was similar to that of the Stated Dao.

Since everyone's using cheats, let's see whose cheat is the strongest.

[Primate: I and Gentleman will investigate Xiao Ran's identity and purpose.]

[The Stated Dao: You've worked hard.]

[Mad Hunt: Need help?]

After that, no one spoke.

White Night Pavilion, Chaos North City Store.

The architectural style of all Baiye branches is strictly uniform, with the only difference being the size of the store.

The Dongfu store's three-story building is only five zhang tall, while the Chaos North City store, also three stories tall, is fifteen zhang tall.

After all, Chaos City is the headquarters of the White Night Pavilion, so it's normal for the local shops to be built in a grander style.

Xiao Ran and his Master did not land at the Sword Plaza, but instead landed directly in front of a silver-gray building.

The building is over ten feet tall, but only has three floors. The three ancient-style cursive characters "White Night Pavilion" on the front plaque are imbued with a majestic sword light, making the gray-tiled building appear pale like the moon, and even more majestic.

Lingzhou Yue reminded him:

"Now I'm taking you to see a very important master's wife. The Bone of the Blood Moon was kept with her."

"The Bone of the Blood Moon was previously placed on Master's wife?" Xiao Ran asked curiously.

Is she special?

Lingzhou Yue nodded.

"If owing her money is considered special, then yes, she is the most special."

As expected of you!

Xiao Ran had nothing to say.

Lingzhou Yue added, "She's very nice to everyone else, but she's a little temperamental with me, so you should be more respectful."

You owe me five million Spirit Stone, how can I still be nice to you?

"Yes, Master."

"Follow me, we'll go through the secret passage."

As she said this, Lingzhou Yue led Xiao Ran into the alley next to the shop and to a wall.

She casually made a spatial incantation, and the secret passage formation that should have appeared vanished.

Are you angry again?

Lingzhou Yue muttered to herself, realizing that they couldn't go through the back door, she had no choice but to lead Xiao Ran through the front door.

The two entered the pavilion and stepped into the lobby on the first floor.

Looking around, Xiao Ran saw that the hall had a very high dome, was spacious and magnificent, and had an antique elegance.

The lobby had over a hundred tables, and it was almost full, so Xiao Ran and his Master could only stand there.

It's a shop, but there are no display cases.

The tables were set out with musical instruments, chess pieces, calligraphy, paintings, wine, and peanuts for guests to enjoy. Dozens of staff members moved about, serving tea and water and exchanging information.

White Night Pavilion operates on a one-to-one transaction model, where staff members exchange information briefly, and if the customer is interested, tea will be served.

Afterwards, guests wait here for good news, awaiting a call to go upstairs to discuss the buying and selling of goods and prices with professional traders.

The branch manager usually stays on the third floor and only comes out to greet guests when there are extremely rare items or distinguished guests.

Xiao Ran looked around and didn't see any cultivators in the hall whose cultivation level was lower than that of the Golden Cultivation Level.

He was the only one among the Qi Refining cultivators.

Everyone looked at Xiao Ran with curiosity, and when they saw Lingzhou Yue, they basically understood the identities of the two.

They bowed respectfully from afar, clasping their hands in greeting.

Because of their special status, before the two even sat down, the Chief Shop Assistant came over and asked:

"What would you two like to order?"

Lingzhou Yue said directly, "I'm looking for your store manager."

The Chief Shop Assistant was a cold-faced, unyielding middle-aged man.

Are you two buying or selling something?

Lingzhou Yue a little angry.

Don't you recognize me?

The Chief Shop Assistant then bowed slightly.

"It's fine to get to know Senior Ling Zhou, but you have to pay back the five million Spirit Stone you owe at our shop first."

Lingzhou Yue's tone softened instantly.

"Talking about money hurts feelings, but what about the shop owner?"

The middle-aged shop assistant remained indifferent.

"The shop owner is out."

That woman still goes out?

Lingzhou Yue knew perfectly well that the woman might indeed go out on errands during the day.

But at night, she would always sit by the window on the top floor of the White Night Pavilion, sipping tea, as if waiting for a great deal that could change the Cultivation World.

Lingzhou Yue tilted her head back and took a swig of wine.

"Just tell her that Lingzhou Yue has brought her apprentice and wants to talk to her about a project worth several hundred million."

Before anyone could be surprised, a plaintive, drawn-out female voice came from the dome on the third floor.

"Come on up."

Shopkeeper!

The middle-aged shop assistant glanced at Xiao Ran without making a sound, and then led the two of them to their destination.

The other customers didn't dare to voice any objections.

A suspended sandalwood staircase descends from the third floor, resembling a path to heaven that no one has ever trod.

Stepping onto the sandalwood steps, Xiao Ran and his Master felt as if they were suspended in mid-air, their feet wafting a fragrance, giving them the feeling of going to see the top courtesan in a brothel—a thrilling and exciting experience.

Up to the third floor.

This is a large, undivided single-level apartment, with only a screen placed on the south side.

On the long table in the middle were displayed musical instruments, chess pieces, calligraphy, and paintings, all of which were masterpieces, but they were covered in dust because no one had handled them for many years.

The walls are all floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in the blue light and white moonlight, and a gentle breeze drifts in.

Beside the south window screen, two tea sets were laid out on a long table, polished to a shine.

Before the table, a woman in a crimson cloak sat with her face resting on her hand, sipping tea while lazily gazing out the window, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her gaze distant.

The woman had a very attractive figure, and her purplish-red fur cloak was clearly a rare and valuable item.

Her outfit was exceptionally sophisticated, subtly revealing her cleavage and exuding the aura of a sophisticated businesswoman.

Her features are beautiful, but not so beautiful that they create a sense of distance.

Her face was adorned with exquisitely professional light makeup, her eyebrows were arched and her teeth were white, her hair was styled in a cloud-like bun, and she exuded a graceful and charming aura. Her beautiful eyes, partially obscured by shadow, were captivating yet maintained a perfect sense of distance.

It was the woman in Chen Qingyuan's painting that Xiao Ran had seen before... Chen Qingyuan's sister.

Although she looks the same, she doesn't have the fairy-like quality of the painting, but rather the aura of a typical socialite.

He's a businessman after all.

On the mat opposite the long table sat a handsome man holding a long robe, sipping tea.

Because he was a man, Xiao Ran only noticed him now.

Lingzhou Yue, however, spotted the handsome man at a glance.

A sudden chill ran through me.

Has the spring breeze turned the south bank of the Yangtze River green again? ——————
