The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2169 - 2168: The Biggest Sucker

After Long Fei and his group left, two madmen appeared beneath the thick ice layer.

Jin Wu complained to Long Fei, "Master, shouldn’t you have taken that Divine Plant? What if those two madmen destroy it while they’re in there?"

Long Fei scolded, "Divine things are sentient; they’re not so easily destroyed. Did you manage to gather a lot of good items while you were inside?"

"No, not at all."

Jin Wu blushed and shook his head repeatedly.

Long Fei stared at him and asked, "Are you sure?"

Jin Wu felt a chill, as if Long Fei could see right through him.

He chuckled awkwardly, took out a Storage Ring, and handed it to Long Fei, saying, "It’s hard to hide anything from Master. Inside are some Peach Wine brewed by the Shenxu. It’s just that Old Man Xing Ming is so stingy; he gave us only freshly brewed wine. These are aged wines!"

Long Fei took out a jug, sniffed it, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, it’s indeed aged. You really have an eye for quality!"

Jin Wu rubbed his head sheepishly, "Master, my bad. I just saw no one at the Shenxu and thought I’d help manage it a bit for them! You know, if those two madmen drank this wine, they’d go even crazier and ruin that treasure land of Shenxu, right?"

"So, should I thank you on behalf of the Shenxu disciples?"

Long Fei gave this kid a sideways glance and took out a wine bowl to drink with Wang Xiaoya.

Jin Wu sneaked a glance, feeling distressed at heart.

This wine was something he found only with great effort in Shenxu’s cellar, and now he had not gotten even a single jug.

While he was lamenting, Long Fei tossed the Storage Ring back to him, telling him, "You keep this wine for the Shenxu for now, and return it to them if there’s a chance. Of course, you can charge a small management fee."

Jin Wu was so excited that he shouted, "Yes, yes, Master is absolutely right. I’ll definitely take good care of it for the Shenxu."

He thought to himself, Master is indeed Master; the reasoning is truly that of a righteous envoy.

In the future, he would have to look up to Master.

At Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the annual loose cultivator gathering had already begun.

All the new rising masters of the Cultivation World were gathering here, ready to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves.

The market at the foot of the mountain had been set up, bustling with people selecting their favorite treasures inside.

A vendor, holding a long blade, shouted hoarsely, "Blades! Selling blades! Supreme of the Three Realms, Demon-Slaying Blade! Command the world, no one dares to disobey. If Xuanyuan does not emerge, who dares to contend."

A group of cultivators gathered around to take a look, jeering at the vendor, "Zhang Xiaosan, you’re deceiving people again?"

The vendor got agitated, "Brother Taoist, how can you slander my innocence out of nowhere?"

The cultivator laughed and said, "Your crappy blade is obviously made from wrought iron, even worse than a kitchen knife in the mundane world. How can you dare call this thing a Demon-Slaying Blade?"

The vendor rolled his eyes and said, "This just shows your ignorance; great simplicity is true wisdom, great cunning appears clumsy. This Demon-Slaying Blade may look useless on the outside, but it contains Daoist charm, invincible. Once this blade is drawn, it’s undefeatable unless matched with the Xuanyuan Sword I sold before."

Someone laughed, "Do you dare mention that Xuanyuan Sword? Do you know the sucker who fell for it back then is now the leader of our Cultivation World?"

Someone was curious, "Are you talking about the Yin Yang Sect Leader of Jade Island?"

That person replied, "Exactly him! The Six Major Sects: Wudang, Mount Mao, Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Mount Shu, Kunlun, Shenxu, were all swept aside by him. Now only Jade Island stands alone."

Someone nodded, boasting, "Recently, the Sect Leader got married, and I even went to drink at the wedding on Jade Island! His bride is stunning, just like a Fairy. In this lifetime, if I had a wife like that, dying wouldn’t be in vain."

Someone laughed, "Keep dreaming! With your cultivation level, you probably can’t even step over the threshold!"

"What, not convinced? Want to spar a bit?"

"Sure, let’s spar! With your basic skills, what should I be afraid of?"

As they spoke, the two became visibly upset.

The vendor quickly intervened, "Esteemed Taoists, peace is precious, peace is precious. You’ve mentioned that the leader of our Cultivation World was the one who bought my Xuanyuan Sword then. Why is he the leader today? It’s all due to the fortune brought by that Xuanyuan Sword! I’ll tell you right now, whoever buys my Demon-Slaying Blade will be the next leader of the Cultivation World."

"Pfft!"

The crowd collectively hissed.

Zhang Xiaosan, unfazed, just shook his head and sighed, "Ah, common folk remain common. Treasures lie here, yet no one recognizes them; truly disappointing."

At this moment, two men and a woman approached, and asked Zhang Xiaosan, "How much for this Demon-Slaying Blade?"

Zhang Xiaosan looked at the speaking man, having a sense of familiarity.

He raised five fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "Fifty thousand Spirit Stones, fair and square."

The surrounding cultivators laughed, "Zhang Xiaosan, you’re becoming arrogant! I remember the Xuanyuan Sword you sold before was only worth ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Yeah, aren’t you a bit too greedy?"

"This lousy blade is worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones?"

"..."

The crowd heckled incessantly.

Zhang Xiaosan remained calm and said, "Hey, folks, I’m not forcing anyone to buy. You can pay if you want it, or just enjoy the show if you don’t. Why all the sarcastic remarks?"

The customer asked, "What’s the origin of this Demon-Slaying Blade? How can it be compared to the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Zhang Xiaosan got energized, "This customer is clearly an expert. This Demon-Slaying Blade has a grand history.

It’s said that back when the Demon Race leader Chi You fought for the world with our Human Emperor Xuanyuan, the Demon King was wielding an axe capable of splitting heaven and earth: Chi You’s Axe!

Later, our Human Emperor Xuanyuan defeated him and refined his axes into a large blade, which is the Demon-Slaying Blade here!

This blade together with the Xuanyuan Sword can be said to be two halves of a whole, complementary and counteractive treasures. So, the Demon-Slaying Blade dominates where Xuanyuan does not appear."

The crowd couldn’t help but laugh again, "Zhang Xiaosan, are you a disciple of a comedy sect?"

"What a load of bull you’re spouting!"

"Zhang Xiaosan, we truly admire you!"

"I declare here, only a fool would buy this lousy blade; you’d better pack up quickly!"

"..."

No sooner had they spoken than the inquiring customer brought out fifty thousand Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and piled them in front of Zhang Xiaosan.

The surrounding cultivators gasped and stared with wide eyes.

The customer smiled, "I’ll take this Demon-Slaying Blade."

Zhang Xiaosan swallowed, took the Spirit Stones in one swift motion, handed over the blade with both hands, and courteously said, "Esteemed Taoist friend, you have an exquisite eye. I, Zhang Xiaosan, guarantee that with this, you’ll be the leader of our Cultivation World before long."

The customer accepted the treasured blade, chuckling lightly, "Thanks for your kind words!"

He left with a man and a woman, and the news spread like wildfire.

The sensation it caused was no less than when the Xuanyuan Sword was sold.

At Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the title of the biggest sucker in history was rewritten.
