The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2170 - 2169: The Value of Packaging

Demon King’s Mansion at Tianzhu Mountain, the stronghold of Demon King Star here, was already crowded with people.

The Starry Ancient Path was opening, and not only Long Fei and his group were setting out on it.

Cultivators from all over Great Xia also received the news and gathered here, hoping to try their luck on Demon King Star via this path.

They spent a fortune to buy a channel from the Demon King’s Mansion.

Someone spent fifty thousand Spirit Stones to buy a broken knife, and the story quickly spread here.

The crowd was discussing and laughing, not knowing which fool was rich enough to spend such a high price on a broken knife.

Chu Feng and his group also heard the news, drinking and laughing, "No need to guess; only our Sect Hierarch would do such a thing."

Bald Dog tutted, "It must be him. Anyone who doesn’t believe can place a bet. When the master arrives, we’ll ask and find out."

Indeed, there were those who didn’t believe and placed a bet with Bald Dog. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Soon, there was some commotion outside the courtyard.

Long Fei entered with Wang Xiaoya and Jin Wu, smiling lightly at them, "What are you guys betting on?"

Everyone looked at them, all bursting into laughter.

Chu Feng, sipping his drink, smiled at him, "Tell us, did you buy that Demon-Slaying Blade?"

Bald Dog said, "Master, did you come across another treasure? Show it to everyone quickly!"

"Your dog’s nose is really sharp!"

Long Fei really did summon a large black blade, tossing it in front of Bald Dog.

Bald Dog caught it eagerly, quickly looking at it with everyone gathered around.

This thing, the texture was coarse.

The iron sand on it hadn’t been fully refined; it was indeed worse than a kitchen knife.

Bald Dog laughed loudly, "Who bet against me earlier? Hurry and pay up."

The crowd looked at Long Fei with smiles, not knowing why he wasted money on it.

Chu Feng asked on their behalf, "Is this broken knife really worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones?"

"Indeed."

Long Fei nodded.

Bald Dog exclaimed, "Master, I have plenty of this stuff in my Storage Ring; do you want any?"

Long Fei shook his head, "How can your knives compare to this one? This was refined with Chi You’s Axe by Emperor Xuanyuan back then, one of a kind in the world."

Bald Dog and everyone watched him seriously, examining the knife again.

Da Heiniu, being an honest person, snatched the knife from Bald Dog and swung it hard.

With a bang, the knife’s handle shook and broke abruptly.

The atmosphere turned awkward, with only Da Heiniu shouting, "Master, you were deceived; can this broken knife really slay demons?"

"Damn it, weld the handle back for me before talking."

Long Fei laughed and explained to everyone, "Don’t misunderstand; I’m buying the story behind this knife for fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Nowadays, what sells the best is not the product’s actual quality but its story. If the story is well-crafted and the item is packaged beautifully, then it deserves the price. Who among you can extol this knife in such an extraordinary way?"

Everyone touched their heads and chuckled, indeed, no one dared claim they could craft such a story.

Chu Feng said, "Your words remind me of that mundane tea we have. Simple packaging in small jars, it becomes something only rich people can drink."

Wang Xiaoya chuckled with her hand over her mouth, "And that 88 phone, that’s something only wealthy people use."

Jin Wu’s eyes darted around, as if he’d opened the door to another world.

Long Fei smiled and said, "Alright, let’s discuss serious matters! Before entering Demon King Star, let me remind everyone: the star path is perilous, with danger to life at any moment. You can still opt out now; once you step on the star path, it’s life or death, with no turning back."

The crowd individually returned to seriousness, exchanged glances, and all showed determined expressions; no one opted out.

Long Fei looked at them, nodding, "Very good, since everyone has thought it through, I won’t say much more."

He asked the Dragon-Scaled Elephant King of the Demon Clan, "Elephant King, have you negotiated with the local authorities? When can we use the teleportation channel?"

Dragon-Scaled Elephant King replied, "You can go anytime, but everyone needs to pay a transmission fee of one million."

"One million?"

Bald Dog shouted, "That’s ridiculously expensive!"

Ground Rat Demon King said, "The Elder stationed here on Demon King Star is just a nobody; the master can crush him with one hand."

Da Heiniu, holding the Demon-Slaying Blade excitedly, said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s charge in!"

In his excitement, the sword snapped again with a bang.

Everyone chuckled, looking at him.

Da Heiniu laughed dryly, "Master, don’t be mad; I’ll fix it again."

Dragon-Scaled Elephant King awkwardly said, "Everyone, calm down; this teleportation channel here was set up by people from Peacock King City on Demon King Star. It’s meant to facilitate communication between them and our world, and maintaining it and transmitting naturally consumes a lot of resources. We have no connection with them, so naturally, they won’t do it for free."

Long Fei laughed and said, "Elephant King, don’t overthink it; visit the temple and pray to the appropriate god. We’re not robbers; let’s follow the rules. Go tell the authorities at Demon King Star that we’re setting off soon. I’ll cover everyone’s Spirit Stone fees."

Among the cultivators present, there were at least thirty-plus.

The group exchanged glances, wildly excited, repeatedly cupping their hands in thanks.

The million was nothing for Long Fei, but for many inside, it was a substantial amount.

The local authorities originally anticipated trouble with Long Fei and had prepared a group of Great Demons to prevent disturbances.

Who knew Long Fei would agree to their conditions so readily.

They were happy to oblige, quickly accepting the Spirit Stones and opening the teleportation channel to Demon King Star.

As the group set off under Long Fei’s lead, with prior experience of traveling beyond regions, none looked tense.

The key was having someone as extraordinary as Long Fei in the group.

With him, everyone felt much more secure.

The Teleportation Altar activated, quickly connecting with the wormhole at Tianzhu Mountain, opening an elliptical portal in the void.

Chu Feng led the way in, and once everyone entered, Long Fei held Wang Xiaoya, about to step in.

Wang Xiaoya paused, turned around to look behind, and asked Long Fei, "When will we return after this journey?"

"What’s wrong?"

Long Fei raised his eyebrows.

Wang Xiaoya dropped her head and said, "I’m a bit worried about my mother."

Long Fei gently touched her head to comfort her, "It’s okay, I’ve already spoken with Yingying; mother-in-law won’t have any issues. This journey, at least three years, at most a hundred. If we’re alive, we must return after a hundred years."

"One hundred years?"

Wang Xiaoya nodded, held his hand, and said, "Never mind, let’s go!"

"Onward!"

Long Fei cheerfully exclaimed, holding Wang Xiaoya’s hand and stepping inside together.

The world before them changed colors, as if entering a kaleidoscope, with their whole bodies speeding through the channel as if tumbling into an endless vortex.
