Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

262: Yang Yucheng’s performance again!The surrounding pressure was immense; even the minuscule portion released by Third Elder Luo Hongmei was enough to make Yang Yucheng’s body creak and strain, unable to bear it.

A sound emitted.

The scorching sound in the air finally made Third Elder Luo Hongmei, who was before him, regain her senses.

Luo Hongmei waved her hand, and the overwhelming Aura, like overturning rivers and seas, temporarily receded!

Her gaze fixed, she continued to watch Yang Yucheng.

This time, her eyes were filled with scrutiny, as if she was studying whether Yang Yucheng was trustworthy.

It concerned her own safety.

Even within Qingyun Grotto-Heaven, even with Grand Elder Su Zhicheng, who had shown her much care before, Luo Hongmei did not genuinely trust him.

Only she truly knew the extent of her injuries from beginning to end!

Overlooking Yang Yucheng’s composed and neither humble nor arrogant figure before her, a hint of admiration flashed in Luo Hongmei’s eyes.

If Yang Yucheng had been trembling, fearful, and constantly fidgeting like a spinning top, Luo Hongmei would not have shown mercy!

A person like Yang Yucheng, who could do such things before, was certainly not someone who feared death.

And since he wasn’t, yet deliberately acted like this in front of her, it showed how cunning he was!

Luo Hongmei was unwilling to raise an ungrateful wretch, even if he were her future Dao Companion!

”Tell me!”

Luo Hongmei parted her red lips, finally giving Yang Yucheng a chance.

Her Phoenix eyes brightened slightly.

With a casual wave, the rolling black Qi behind her materialized from void, condensing into a weapon.

A sinister chair appeared behind her.

Luo Hongmei sat down gently, continuing to look at Yang Yucheng from there.

Yang Yucheng bowed slightly, beginning another round of persuasion.

No, it should be called convincing!

As Yang Yucheng opened his mouth, his tone was high, and his words were grand. His very first sentence immediately awed Luo Hongmei, piquing her interest considerably.

”ascension insurance? What kind of thing is that? It’s nothing more than a short-term business, able to last a million years at most, then it’s reached its peak. Afterwards, it might double or triple at most.”

”One hundred million, two hundred million, that’s where it ends.”

”What we can do, can the other two Grotto-Heavens not do? With such a big business, how simple would it be for others to imitate? It’s incredibly simple! And it’s not just my Heavenly Soul Sect; there’s also the Holy Dynasty within the Upper Three Sects Heaven and Earth, plus other Righteous Path Sects and neutral forces.”

”Once they imitate it, the money we can earn will only be from our own small plot of land.”

”This small amount of money, a hundred or two hundred million Spirit Crystals, only doubled, tripled, or quadrupled. What’s the point of earning such money? Who is this amount of Spirit Crystals insulting here? It’s not worth looking at or putting to heart at all!”

Yang Yucheng waved his hand, his expression of not valuing Spirit Crystals was truly detestable!

But at this moment, Luo Hongmei was still watching intently, and she even thought his words made a lot of sense.

Although she understood in her heart that Yang Yucheng was just talking nonsense, she became increasingly interested in his next topic.

”One hundred million Spirit Crystals is a lot!”

Luo Hongmei reminded him.

”Indeed, it’s a lot, but only for ordinary people. For someone like you, Third Elder, that’s just the beginning!”

”No, it’s me, Yang Yucheng, boasting here!”

Yang Yucheng patted his chest, his arrogant demeanor as if Heaven was first, Earth second, and he third, was utterly presumptuous, as if he was far more formidable than the Spirit Domain Realm experts in the current Qingyun Grotto-Heaven!

”In terms of earning Spirit Crystals, no one in the Lower Three Sects Heaven and Earth, Upper Three Sects Heaven and Earth, or the four directions of Heaven and Earth can compare to me, Yang Yucheng!”

”Even the Domain Lord wouldn’t be my opponent!”

Yang Yucheng spoke with great arrogance.

The men of the Old Yang Family were just that arrogant.

Luo Hongmei was not like Protector Han and Su Ran, playing games of feigned indifference or assessing the situation.

After her appearance, Yang Yucheng and the business he was about to discuss were essentially hers.

At most, she would give Yang Yucheng some dividends, allowing him to earn Spirit Crystals for her better and more efficiently. So, all of Yang Yucheng’s words, including these grand promises, were hers.

And for one’s own things, one is always exceptionally lenient, with a favorable filter.

”Then tell me!”

Luo Hongmei cooperated with Yang Yucheng, she continued to smile, ”If your business truly expands, how much can it earn each year?”

Yang Yucheng’s smile paused, but the warmth on his face remained strong.

He first shook his head gently.

Then, he held up a single finger.

”One hundred million?” Luo Hongmei guessed.

Yang Yucheng shook his head, not letting the Third Elder guess further, and quickly gave the answer.

”One hundred million! That’s just the starting point!”

”One billion! Ten billion! One hundred billion is our goal!”

This time, Luo Hongmei was somewhat immune.

The boast was too grand; she simply didn’t believe it!

Yang Yucheng remained undeterred, bringing out the same words he used to persuade Su Ran, to likewise persuade Luo Hongmei, but he believed the effect would be completely different.

Because Su Ran didn’t have that capability.

Luo Hongmei, however, did.

She was in the Spirit Master Sect Realm, and the Divine Abilities and profound techniques of the Spirit Master Sect Realm were certainly enough for Yang Yucheng to unfold his original business plan.

The Spirit Domain Realm could open up Grotto-Heavens and claim mountains as their own.

As for the Spirit Master Sect Realm, although it didn’t possess such heaven-shaking power, the inherent Heaven and Earth power it carried was still considerable. It could entirely construct another blessed land connected by spiritual energy.

While the Physical Body couldn’t enter, it was enough to allow everyone’s spiritual energy, transformed into spiritual consciousness, to connect, thereby achieving another realm in a different sense.

And the name of this realm, in a more modern term, would be the internet.

Upon arriving in this cultivation world, it naturally needed a different, localized term!

”Third Elder, what do you think of Qingyun City?”

Yang Yucheng didn’t immediately propose a method; instead, he changed the subject and brought this up!

Third Elder Luo Hongmei nodded slightly.

But her gaze remained calm; she wasn’t truly swayed by Yang Yucheng’s previous words, nor was she being led by the nose.

”Qingyun City is indeed good.”

Yang Yucheng didn’t need to elaborate further!

Third Elder Luo Hongmei’s heartfelt words were already following Yang Yucheng’s previous line of thought.

”Originally, there was no Qingyun City within Qingyun Grotto-Heaven.”

”It was only later, after the Elder Hall was established, the Steward Hall was established, and rules were set, that Disciples gradually gathered together, and then Qingyun City rose from the ground!”
