Chapter 1040: Chapter 334: Everyone As Their Face
Time passed, and soon the manager entered the tea room, smiling and nodding to Xu Qingyue who was sitting opposite him, “The matter has been settled between Wang Sao and myself. The bride price is 380,000 Gold Coins. What do you think, Miss?”
“Wang Sao is truly capable!”
Xu Qingyue silently praised in her heart. She had given Wang Sao 500,000 Gold Coins, hoping to retain thirty to fifty thousand for future needs. After all, land in Chaochang was incredibly valuable, and high store prices were nothing new. Although this street was not bustling, being able to acquire the shop at such a price was a pleasant surprise.
Just as previously agreed, Xu Qingyue nodded calmly, “If that’s the case, let’s settle on this.”
“Excellent,” the manager nodded, smiling as he asked, “Shall I then finalise the agreement with Wang Sao at this price?”
After saying this, the manager stood and left the tea room, and only then did Xu Qingyue allow a smile to appear on her face.
As they say, the hardest part is the beginning. Securing the shop at such a low price meant that the remaining money could be used to redecorate the facade. Even if there were no business for a year, she could sustain on the capital, and if she ultimately couldn’t continue, she could sell the shop and seek another chance to rise again.
This win-win situation must be what they call an invincible position in the commercial world.
The Qingyue Princess, lost in thoughts of the future, her eyes dreamy with ambition, began to contemplate the name of her first cloth shop and future business strategies, wishing she could open for business the very next day, and eager to roll up her sleeves and dive in.
This feeling of being in control of her own destiny was just wonderful. The Qingyue Princess forgot the unpleasantness at the city hall, feeling as if the air was filled with scents of freedom and hope.
Before long, the middle-aged manager returned to the tea room with an even brighter smile, speaking softly to Xu Qingyue, “In that case, Madam, please return to the residence with your husband.”
Xu Qingyue, who had thought the manager was there to bid farewell, was stunned by his words, then became extremely embarrassed, standing up to rebuke him, “You are incredibly rude, sir! Business is business, how can you be so frivolous!”
The manager was puzzled by Xu Qingyue’s agitation, responding unhappily, “I had just confirmed the price with Wang Sao and settled things with you, Madam. How can you not recognize me now?”
“Business is business and should be kept separate. Buying a store doesn’t mean you also get a wife thrown into the deal!”
“What store?” the manager asked, confused. “Wang Sao told me you urgently needed money to repay your father’s debt. The 380,000 Gold Coins was your bride price. What are you talking about, shops and stores?”
Struck as if by a thunderbolt, Xu Qingyue felt as if an electric current surged from her tailbone, instantly spreading throughout her body, her hair standing on end as she shouted, “Where is Wang Sao!?”
“She’s already left with the money,” the manager said coldly, pulling out an agreement. “This is the deed confirming the transaction. Please, Miss, have a look.”
Snatching the deed from the manager’s hands, Xu Qingyue felt dizzy after just a glance.
It clearly stated that Xu Qingyue sold herself for 380,000 Gold Coins to become a concubine of Manager Liu of Tongyi Square, with Wang Sao acting as the go-between!
Biting her lower lip, Xu Qingyue finally understood why Wang Sao had come back again. Not content with stealing her money, she had even targeted her person. Such malice warranted death!
With a twist of her hand, she tore the deed into shreds. Just as Xu Qingyue was about to leave, the manager blocked her way, “Madam, where are you going?”
“Get out of my way!”
Struggling to suppress the shame and anger within her, Xu Qingyue trembled as she looked down and growled at the manager.
But how could Manager Liu, who had weathered many years of ups and downs, be fooled by a pretty young girl? With the aura of unity of spirit and intent emanating from him, Manager Liu raised his hand and said coldly, “A total of 380,000 Gold Coins, enough to buy a top courtesan as a concubine with plenty to spare. Madam should learn the rules of the Liu Household!”
If engaged, she becomes a wife; if purchased, then a concubine. The status of a concubine in the household greatly depends on her purchase price. Manager Liu, having just spent a hefty sum, knew at a glance that Xu Qingyue had been deceived by an agent, but he also understood that these agents certainly would not abduct local women, and although Xu Qingyue’s attire was indistinguishable from the locals, her accent was markedly different.
Since she was not a local and was such a charming and stunning beauty, Manager Liu had no intention of letting his money go to waste. Once he knocked the young lady unconscious and took her back home, where the deed would be done, the matter would be settled.
Women, after all, might be totally unwilling at first, but after sleeping with them for a few days and letting them taste all kinds of flavors, they would become submissive.
Sensing the aura emanating from the other party, Xu Qingyue certainly didn’t hold back either, transforming all her humiliation and anger into more than a hundred innate, body-breaking, invisible sword qi that burst forth.

The weak woman he thought he could easily control suddenly turned into a ferocious beast with a gaping maw for blood. With only three feet between them, how could a wandering warrior withstand the explosion of innate, body-breaking, invisible sword qi?
The walls of Tongyi Square were blown open with a huge hole, and Manager Liu, covered in slash wounds, was left at the brink of death while Xu Qingyue had vanished without a trace!
Bullying minor officials, destroying shops, the female vigilante who had caused trouble in the city had finally alarmed the city guard of Chaochang. The whole city was under martial law, with a search deployed just to find Xu Qingyue.
Meanwhile, Qingyue Princess, red-eyed with anger, just wanted to find the agent named Wang Sao and demand why she had been treated this way!

Longzhou Northern Territory
After dispatching Tang Luo with the Four Spirits Divine Symbol, the space distorted by the Power of Returning Ruins finally stabilized.
The Power of Returning Ruins, nearly reaching the Star God Pillar, had finally ceased expanding, but this did not resolve the most pressing issue.
Because the injuries sustained by Wang Chan were far too severe!
As one of the top martial artists in the world, Wang Fuling’s eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary sect masters. In Yun Sun’s body, aside from that fatal Spirit Seed, there were many other traces.
It was as if he had endured the backlash from dozens of top-ranked Mystic Spirit Arts. Wang Chan’s body was already riddled with countless wounds, and he had even used a forbidden technique from his family, causing his soul and God’s Residence to begin to separate.
What was more fatal was that he had previously consumed Divine Pills, and with the residual poison from the pills still in his system, taking another would kill him instantly.
Even the world-renowned Wang Invincible was at a loss for what to do about Wang Chan’s injuries at this point. Using star power to lock down a body on the verge of collapse is, after all, only a temporary solution, not a cure. If the injuries could not be healed, Wang Chan would turn into a living dead man if kept in this condition for too long.
Just when Wang Fuling was at his wit’s end, a beam of golden light tore through the sky from the south, and a Roc with golden wings landed nearby and transformed into a human form.
A streak of red cloud approached from the north, carrying a wine-stained daoist atop a gourd, who was drinking from a red gourd with glugs and guzzles.
“Martial Saint Mountain’s Bu Jiu.”
“Xuanji Sect’s Miaowei.”
“Greetings to Wang Invincible.”
