Chapter 715 - Chapter 715 Chapter 715 Le Yes Sassy Moves

Chapter 715: Chapter 715 Le Ye’s Sassy Moves Chapter 715: Chapter 715 Le Ye’s Sassy Moves Feng Jun’s mind really wasn’t that broad, when Chairman Huang Fu Flawless had guests, he could wait, and naturally, he could as well.

Upon hearing this, Le Ye’s pupils contracted slightly, and he asked again, “Fellow Daoist Feng, does Chairman Huang Fu know about this Nether Bead…?”

The intention behind this question was hard to predict.

But Feng Jun replied indifferently, “She knows, she even wanted to buy it yesterday.”

If I don’t introduce competition, how can I sell my goods for a high price?

Le Ye’s brow furrowed, clearly a bit anxious, “Then how much did she offer?”

“Hehe,” Feng Jun laughed noncommittally, choosing not to answer the question but instead repeating, “I never had the intention to sell.”

Hearing this, Le Ye felt slightly relieved. To be honest, he would rather negotiate the price with a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer than deal with the Tiantong Commercial Alliance. Those money-eyed fellows were the real cutthroats who kill without drawing blood.

However, with Huang Fu Flawless already drawn by the scent, he didn’t have much room to maneuver, so he spoke very directly, “Ten thousand Spirit Stones, I believe the Tiantong Commerce Alliance can’t offer this price. If it’s possible, let’s make a deal; if not, forget it.”

“Then let’s forget it,” Feng Jun answered without hesitation, “I never had the intention to sell in the first place.”

“Why are you like this?” Le Ye truly hadn’t expected this price to be unsatisfactory and he really started to worry, “I’m already showing a lot of sincerity.”

“It’s meaningless for you to harp on this,” Feng Jun looked at him flatly, “Do I need to tell you several times… I have no intention to sell?”

He indeed planned to sell, and based on his understanding of Huang Fu Flawless, he could guess that ten thousand to fifteen thousand Spirit Stones was the upper limit for this Nether Bead. The price he quoted should have hit the other party’s pain point.

But your pain point is not necessarily my end goal. Since I can get both parties to compete, why should I be anxious to sell?

To please the Yinsha Sect? Don’t make me laugh; in the adult social world, interpersonal interactions are always based on strength.

It’s not that if you have the intention to please, others will take you seriously; it’s your strength that matters, and slight indiscretions in behavior don’t really matter if you’re powerful enough.

Just at that moment, Huang Fu Flawless’s voice came from outside the door, “Mi Yunshan, I need to speak with Fellow Daoist Feng about an important matter.”

Mi Yunshan’s voice was very firm, “I’m truly sorry; he said he’s busy and won’t see any outsider.”

Listening to this, Le Ye was clearly more panicked and said in a low voice, “Twelve thousand Spirit Stones… Fellow Daoist Feng, it can’t possibly be higher.”

Feng Jun glanced at him, laughed noncommittally, and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re still not sincere enough. Well then, let me invite Chairman Huang Fu in.”

Le Ye’s face turned white with urgency, and he continued to speak in a hushed tone, “Her buying price definitely won’t exceed eight thousand Spirit Stones.”

Feng Jun looked at him and replied in resignation, “How many times must I say… I have no intention to sell!”

“Alright,” Le Ye finally admitted that he could not persuade him, but still asked somewhat unwillingly, “Why am I not sincere enough?”

“You didn’t even bother to check the age of the Nether Bead,” Feng Jun answered coldly, “and… the Yin Purity Index.”

For some reason, he felt a bit shy when he said the last four words.

But he was right; Nether Beads are not only classified by grade but by age as well.

Among individuals with equal cultivation levels, the older the Nether Bead, the better. This is like in the Earth Realm when making furniture, from wood of the same size, the one with more growth rings is better, because the slower the tree grows, the finer its texture and the harder its quality.

Those kinds of woods that take just three years to become material aren’t worth mentioning.

The same principle applies to the Nether Beads congealed by entities of the same cultivation level; the older the better.

As for the Yin Purity Index, it’s easy to understand; it simply refers to the pureness of the Yin Energy contained in the Nether Bead.

Nether Beads are already the essence of Yin Energy, but issues with purity still exist, which is also an unequivocal fact.

The point Feng Jun was making is that you only care about the grade of the Nether Bead, and neglect other details. That’s insufficient sincerity.

Le Ye was left speechless by this, but in the end, he defended himself, “I didn’t have time to look, and besides, these details… shouldn’t vary too much, the difference won’t be that great.”

“Not that great?” Feng Jun looked at him with disdain. Who gave you that overconfident certainty?

Then he slightly raised his voice, “Yun Shan, please let Chairman Huang Fu in.”

Huang Fu Flawless walked in briskly, glanced at the two disciples from the Yinsha Sect, nodded slightly as a greeting, then went to a chair and sat down without ceremony.

Only then did she look at Feng Jun, “Fellow Daoist Feng has some skill, to think of using perfume to distract me.”

She had wanted to secure the Nether Bead yesterday, but in the end, her attention was completely drawn away by the perfume. Thinking back today, she felt that she had fallen into his diversionary stratagem.

If she had settled on the Nether Bead yesterday, why would she need to face competition from the Yinsha Sect today?

Feng Jun smiled, “You’re thinking too much. It was you who started talking about the perfume yesterday.”

Although the two were discussing the Nether Bead, neither of them pointed it out directly, creating a certain unspoken understanding.

Upon hearing their conversation, Le Ye’s eyes lit up, “Excuse the interruption, but what exactly is this perfume you speak of?”

Huang Fu Flawless was not afraid to tell him, as she gestured towards Mi Yunshan with her hand, “You see, have you smelled the fragrance on her? That is perfume, a matter among female cultivators. You don’t need to concern yourself with it, right?”

“Eh,” Le Ye’s eyes brightened even more. He smiled slyly and replied, “I was just about to inquire about the origin of this item… I must confess, Huang Fu Chairman, that I do have a fondness for these matters of female cultivators. When I was in my sect, I even often dressed in women’s clothing.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun couldn’t help but give him a deep look, feeling goosebumps all over: In the Earth Realm, are there also those with a penchant for cross-dressing?

Huang Fu Flawless, however, did not believe this. She thought Le Ye was looking to compete with the Tiantong Commercial Alliance in the perfume business, to distract her and make it easier for him to vie for the Nether Bead.

She scoffed lightly, “Fellow Daoist Le’s words… seem a bit too frivolous. The Yinsha Sect is not known for its business acumen. Why bother to complicate things for my Tiantong Commercial Alliance?”

“You are mistaken, Huang Fu Chairman,” Le Ye’s voice softened, and he even posed with a dainty finger, asking coquettishly, “Knowing that I am from the Yinsha Sect, do you not understand the implication of the word ‘Yin’?”

A big man at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer suddenly assumed the posture of a demure young lady. The change in style… was rather eerie and startling.

Feng Jun picked up his teacup to take a sip, trying to calm his shock. The Earth Realm could be quite terrifying indeed.

Back on Earth, he was quite unsupportive of same-sex love, and even had a few online arguments about it–of course, that was during his college days.

Now, hearing that due to their cultivation techniques, the Yinsha Sect might have many tender and effeminate male cultivators made him feel rather uncomfortable.

But Huang Fu Flawless sneered with disdain, “Don’t make such excuses. Following the ‘Yin’ in Yinsha Sect, there is also a ‘sha’… Only true ferocity earns the name ‘sha’.”

Feng Jun understood her meaning: Cut the nonsense, don’t play the role of a cross-dressing big boss. The Yinsha Sect is not only tender but also exceedingly ferocious.

Le Ye, however, threw her a flirtatious glance and spoke in a sugary tone, “Can’t I, a mere concubine, be a bit tender?”

“Enough, let’s speak properly,” Feng Jun couldn’t stand it anymore, “Fellow Daoist Le, if you continue to talk like this, don’t blame me for kicking you out.”

“Ah,” Le Ye sighed deeply, his voice reverting to male, but the tone was still peculiar, “How abundant are the prejudices of this world…”

Feng Jun could not be bothered to engage further, “Chairman Huang Fu, what brings you here exactly?”

Huang Fu Flawless answered succinctly, “To discuss matters of the perfume as well as cooperation on the communication system.”

The two from the Yinsha Sect seemed aware that the Tiantong Commercial Alliance was negotiating with Feng Jun about the communication system and did not interject with questions.

Seeing her dodge the more important issue, Feng Jun picked up his teacup for a sip and said nonchalantly, “Oh, I thought you had come to discuss the Nether Bead.”

If you don’t want to bring it up? Then I will, can I gain more profit if the two of you don’t start fighting?

Huang Fu Flawless gave him a fierce glance and then, smiling, said, “Of course, we also need to discuss the Nether Bead. By releasing the aura of the Nether Bead, aren’t you indicating a desire to discuss this very matter?”

She was hinting at Le Ye: He wants us to fight each other.

But Le Ye ignored her insinuation and stated seriously, “Chairman Huang Fu, if it were anyone else, it might not matter, but you, as the chairman of a Tiantong division, should understand the importance of the Nether Bead to the Yinsha Sect. You aren’t bent on opposing us in the Yinsha Sect, are you?”

“Now that’s funny,” Huang Fu Flawless let out a cold laugh, “The Nether Bead has many uses, who says it must be sold to the Yinsha Sect?”

Le Ye didn’t get angry but replied straightforwardly, “We’ve agreed on terms before, I followed your wishes, and as for the business with the perfume, I won’t compete with you over it. What do you think?”

Huang Fu Flawless was unimpressed, her response frosty, “I knew you were never interested in the perfume business, just doing a favor on the side, and as for the previous discussions… Tiantong has already made numerous concessions!”

Le Ye was equally uncompromising, “Stop with the nonsense. How many Spirit Stones are you planning to pay for the Nether Bead?”

Of course, Huang Fu Flawless did not want to answer that question. She deflected, “How many Spirit Stones are you offering?”

Le Ye did not hold back, confident his offer would outpace that of the Tiantong Commercial Alliance, “Twelve thousand Spirit Stones.”

At this, Huang Fu Flawless was momentarily taken aback: Could Feng Jun really sell the Nether Bead for that price?

And the key point was… It seemed that at this price, it still might not be enough?

She looked at Feng Jun, “May I take another close look at the Nether Bead?”

Feng Jun knew she had already scanned the Nether Bead with her Treasure-Appraising Eye, and there wasn’t much point in another look.

However, he could tell she might be reconsidering, and right now she just needed an excuse to concede.

So after hesitating for a moment, he still displayed the Nether Bead, “As I’ve said, I had no intention of selling this bead.”

But the buyers from both sides completely disregarded his words.

To his astonishment, Le Ye took out a Storage Talisman and addressed Huang Fu Flawless directly, “One hundred Spirit Stones… I want to buy all the information about this Nether Bead.”
