This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 118: I’m Just Looking

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: I’m Just Looking

The entire room on the top floor was actually enveloped by an Array. Hearing Yu Wei boast for half a day, Liang Yi and Su Youyi were somewhat curious, wondering what new tricks the Array of a wealthy family might have.

"Well then, let me show it off." Yu Wei slapped his hands together, somewhat pleased with himself.

As soon as Yu Wei’s voice fell, the originally simple and elegant room instantly transformed the scene, and the four of them appeared on the edge of a cliff. Below the cliff was a boundless expanse of surging waves; the sea breeze caressed their faces, even carrying a bit of saltiness, and on the sea’s surface, unknown spirit birds were preparing to hunt for food from the sea.

Before Liang Yi could even voice his admiration, the scene changed again. This time they arrived atop a steep cliff, with the sun just rising and young pines thriving. A boundless sea of clouds surrounded the peak, reminding Liang Yi and Su Youyi of their own Youdao Mountain.

Subsequently, the scene changed, showcasing around ten different beautiful landscapes across the continent, finally settling on a vibrant Jade Bamboo Forest.

"Impressive!" Liang Yi exclaimed sincerely.

"These places are all so beautiful!" Su Youyi said, longingly. If she could travel these beautiful scenes with her senior brother, that would be even better.

"This little Array is not worth mentioning," Yu Wei modestly waved his hand.

"This Array isn’t simply for creating beautiful scenes, but to explore the realism of an Illusion Realm," Yu Wei explained. Although their Divine Wind Commerce is wealthy, there aren’t many at the top who frivolously squander money.

"The commerce and some Array Masters actually cooperate; we finance their research into Array Dao, they give us some results, and we seize business opportunities. This Array is just a byproduct."

Liang Yi was somewhat surprised. A merchant is a merchant; their grasp of business opportunities is extraordinary. Though Array Masters consume astronomical amounts of resources, as soon as they achieve some surprising results, Divine Wind Commerce has ways to earn it back hundreds to thousands of times.

"Thank you."

Liang Yi took the cherished fruit wine poured by a beautiful maid and whispered a thanks, then curiously asked, "I wonder what brings Brother Yu to Qingliang City?"

"Alas, it’s because of that darn competition. Our commerce has invested in part of this competition, so every time during the award ceremony, they invite the high-ups of our commerce to observe."

"It just so happened I was traveling near Central State, so my father sent me here."

Yu Wei sighed. Outside, he truly enjoyed his freedom, going wherever he wanted, and playing however he liked. His family’s commerce spans from the southern seas to the northern borders—in a sense, the reach of Divine Wind Commerce and the Little Bamboo House covers the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent.

But after arriving in Central State, even books that promote human reproduction and are colored sold poorly, fearing being caught by the Mystic Bureau and thrown in jail—an environment far less open and free than other places.

"Haha." Liang Yi took some mischievous pleasure in his misfortune.

Yu Wei sold different goods in each city; in his previous life, players even encountered him selling Cultivation Techniques and Daoist Skills directly, ranging at least from blue to orange quality.

That time, it was only because Yu Wei’s own strength was formidable, and he never neglected his cultivation while gaining experience, otherwise several gangs in that city almost collaborated to kidnap him.

But no matter what Yu Wei sells, his hidden shop always contains books of various types, and players jokingly call him "Uncle Yu."

Moreover, his biggest hobby turns out to be admiring beautiful women. Passing through each city, he would sketch the most beautiful woman he encountered there.

No conversations, no emotional entanglements, Yu Wei only admired their appearances, admired and then left, never using his status as the Young Master of Divine Wind Commerce to commit any outrageous acts of bullying men or overwhelming women.

If he were indeed a villainous NPC akin to a pervert, players would be more enthusiastic than the Mystic Bureau, killing him wouldn’t increase their Sin Value, and they could even get high-quality drops.

Yu Wei’s hidden shop boasted an orange quality "Absolute Beauty List" as its treasure, yet this list had no purchasing conditions, leaving countless players yearning for it but unable to obtain it, sighing in despair.

It was only within the boundaries of the Mystic Bureau in Central State that Yu Wei would behave a bit more honestly.

"Then tomorrow I’ll indeed be able to meet Brother Yu again." Liang Yi toasted Yu Wei.

"Oh, right. Young Hero Liang and Fairy Su are also invited this time, what about Chief Zhiqing?" Yu Wei remembered last time when he saw Liang Yi, they were together with Zhiqing, and he wasn’t sure if he came this time.

"Chief Zhiqing is leading the team from Complete Heaven Sect this time, he is here too."

After Su Youyi took a sip of the fruit wine, her eyes lit up, feeling the flow of mana inside her body speeding up slightly.

Heavenly Spirit Monkey Wine: Fourth Grade Spiritual Wine, brewed by the Demon Clan of monkeys from Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, with an exquisitely mellow taste, a small amount can accelerate the flow of mana.

Liang Yi looked at the buff that appeared on his panel and felt it, discovering that his mana flow speed had increased by about ten percent. If two cultivators use the same Daoist Skill, the one with faster mana flow would naturally release the skill faster.

"I’ve always heard that Chief Zhiqing is approachable. We only had a brief encounter last time without much interaction; this time I must seize the opportunity," Yu Wei said with a smile, his words were not mere flattery.

Many people were aware of Zhiqing’s character, Chu Yunshan had decimated eighteen Desert Black Riders, and within the secret realm of Qingping River, he eradicated the troubling Fish Demons. During his mortal-world trials, he judiciously addressed grievances, leaving everyone satisfied with the outcomes, no one would not want to be friends with such a person.

"Young Master, someone downstairs is causing a disturbance and wishes to see the manager."

A red-robed maid hurried forward, whispering into Yu Wei’s ear.

"Where is Manager Qu?" Yu Wei wondered, he held the title of Young Master but was still in his trial period and never interfered with local commerce affairs.

"Manager Qu has gone to negotiate this quarter’s goods procurement and exchange with the Demon Clan’s envoy, and he won’t be back soon," the maid explained in a low voice. Normally, if the manager wasn’t present, the next in charge would take over, but this time with the Young Master on the top floor, they had to consult his opinion first.

"Alright, let’s go take a look."

"Liang Brother, Fairy Su, are you interested?"

Yu Wei stood up, inviting Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Why not, we’re also curious to see who dares to cause trouble in Divine Wind Commerce," Liang Yi nodded, as watching the excitement is human nature.

····

"Where is your manager? Call him out, Divine Wind Commerce dares to bully customers! Today I must seek justice!"

A svelte young man holding a folding fan, with an arrogant demeanor, was commanding the staff of Divine Wind Commerce.

"Sir, please wait a moment, the manager will be here soon! And please, keep your voice down, do not disturb the other customers," the maid reminded him with a bow, her face wearing a courteous smile.

"Keep my voice down? You’re asking me to keep my voice down!? Right now, I am the one giving orders, not you! How dare you, a mere maid, speak to me like this?"

Hearing this, the arrogant young man’s fragile ego seemed to have taken a hit, his voice rising to a piercing level. Raising the folding fan in his hand, he was about to smash it down on the maid’s head.
