Chapter 561: Miaoyin Tea House Branch, Ling Yue's Little Scheme
"Finally, we've arrived!"
First Princess Ling Yue observed this branch location.
It was a five-story teahouse, elegantly decorated, surrounded by shady trees and murmuring streams, presenting a serene environment, an ideal spot for dates. The more she looked around, the more she liked it.
"I believe Sect Master Ye will like it too."
Ling Yue's red lips curved slightly upward.
The reason she spent a fortune to build the Miaoyin Tea House branch in Whitefloat City was that it provided her with an excuse to see Ye Feng conveniently.
"From now on, when I have some free time, I can invite Sect Master Ye out for tea," she said.
Ling Yue's red lips curved slightly upward.
That smile made all the cultivators present feel as if they were kissed by an immortal fairy, filled with bliss.
"Look, Pavilion Master Ling Yue smiled at me!"
"Shut it, she clearly smiled at me!"
"Two fools, I don't have the heart to burst your bubble, but obviously, Pavilion Master Ling Yue just thought of something that made her happy, and that's why she smiled."
The cultivators inside the Miaoyin Tea House branch discussed quietly among themselves.
Ling Yue turned a deaf ear to the words of the crowd.
She stepped on the wooden stairs and ascended to the top floor, looking out at the Misty Peak hidden among the drifting clouds a dozen miles away.
"I'm getting closer and closer to Sect Master Ye," she thought, her heart filled with joy.
"I must continue to work hard on my cultivation – now that I'm at the Spirit Sea Realm, I aim to digest the secret techniques from my past life soon, master various auxiliary cultivation methods, and break through to the Divine Origin Realm.
"Only by becoming a Great Power will I be worthy of standing by Sect Master Ye's side."
Ling Yue clenched her hands tightly, making up her mind.
She was determined to practice diligently, to become a splendidly beautiful goddess, empress, and even an empress saint!
And by that time, who could prevent her from standing by Sect Master Ye's side?
"Pavilion Master."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the small room on the top floor.
"Come in!" Ling Yue said.
A pair of snow-white hands pushed open the door, revealing the graceful figure outside.
It was a beautiful woman, about thirty years of age, with a voluptuous figure and long black hair piled high on her head, exposing a slender, snow-white neck.
As she walked, she naturally emitted a profound aura.
Divine Origin Realm first layer!
That was this woman's cultivation level.
"Vice Pavilion Master, you've finally arrived." Ling Yue greeted the woman with warmth, holding her snow-white, soft hands.
"Pavilion Master, why have you summoned me to Whitefloat City?" Vice Pavilion Master Qi Nanqing asked with her beautiful cold face full of curiosity.
She was in charge of overseeing the Miaoyin Tea House and hardly ever went out.
Since the Mystique Kingdom was promoted to a Four Star Level force, Qi Nanqing also obtained quite a few Soul Condensing Pills and advanced to the first layer of the Divine Origin Realm.
Subsequently, she became Ling Yue's Protector.
"From today onwards, Sister Qing, you'll be the owner of the Miaoyin Tea House branch here," Ling Yue said with a smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons, looking somewhat cute.
"Oh? Why?"
Qi Nanqing raised an eyebrow, recalling the discussions of the patrons at the branch of the tea house, smiling brightly: "You've built this branch to have an excuse to stay in Whitefloat City, so you can see Sect Master Ye every day, right?"
Ling Yue's pretty face flushed red: "That's not the case!"
Qi Nanqing said, "I've been through it myself, so how could I not understand the thoughts of you young girls? But Sect Master Ye is indeed a catch, even I would like him!"
Ling Yue suddenly widened her eyes, anxiously saying, "Sister Qing, you can't compete with me for Sect Master Ye!"
Qi Nanqing's eyes crinkled with a smile: "I guessed right, you really do like Sect Master Ye. Don't worry, sister won't compete with you."
Ling Yue was slow to catch on.
So she had been played by Qi Nanqing!
"Sister Qing, you're so bad!"
Ling Yue stuck out her tongue slightly, appearing a bit playful.
Seeing her silly, blissful face, Qi Nanqing seemed startled, as if she recalled a particularly memorable event.
"Little Yue, I hope you can find happiness!"
Qi Nanqing's face was filled with affection.
Half an hour later.
Ling Yue and Qi Nanqing sat in the tea room on the top floor, sipping light tea as they gazed at Misty Peak shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Ling Yue, there's something I must tell you."
"Elder Sister Qing, just say it, whatever it is!"
"I've calculated that the Miaoyin Tea House branch is currently operating at a loss, mainly because the tea is expensive and the customer traffic is low."
"Is that so?"
Ling Yue fell silent for a moment, then said, "Elder Sister Qing, isn't it just losing some money? As long as I can spend more time with Sect Master Ye, I think it's no problem."
"You are too naive!"
Qi Nanqing shook her head, her face a picture of helplessness.
She thought that the current Ling Yue was like a woman blinded by love, recklessly disregarding everything.
"However, I believe that we won't be operating at a loss after some time," Ling Yue suddenly spoke up, her face brimming with confidence, which took Qi Nanqing by surprise. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Why is that?"
"Because Whitefloat City will become the main battlefield for the prodigies' competition between the two countries. In the future, cultivators from both nations will certainly come here to watch the battles, which will naturally bring more business to the tea house."
"Is that so?"
Qi Nanqing was taken aback for a moment and released her Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, gradually getting a grasp of the latest trends.
Upon learning that it was Ye Feng and the rulers of the two great nations who were jointly hosting the competition, Qi Nanqing had a realization and said, "Little Yue, you indeed have a good vision!"
"Ah?" Ling Yue was startled.
"If I'm not mistaken, the future Whitefloat City will definitely become a top-notch city on par with Heavenly Thunder City and the Royal Capital, with a population exceeding one hundred million and booming business," Qi Nanqing stated earnestly.
Ling Yue blinked, "How so?"
"Sect Master Ye of Misty Sect holds a very high position, and though he has only been in charge of Misty Sect for a year and a half, he has already transformed Whitefloat City from a small town with only hundreds of thousands of people into a large city with a population of over five million. Its development will surely be even more rapid in the future."
Qi Nanqing pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, "After all, there is a Teleportation Array there, which allows convenient travel to both Heavenly Thunder City and the Royal Capital."
"Yes!"
Ling Yue nodded repeatedly.
With the Teleportation Array, middle and high-rank cultivators would continue to arrive, especially since the Teleportation Array fees in Whitefloat City were very low, charging only a Middle Grade Spirit Stone for each use.
Even those in the Element Gathering Realm could afford this price.
As the Teleportation Array became more widespread, in the future, Whitefloat City would inevitably attract more and more cultivators.
The tea house's business, hard to imagine it not booming.
"I'm starting to look forward to it!"
A smile hung on Ling Yue's face.
An hour later.
She rang the Summoning Bell at Misty Peak and, escorted eagerly by Fox Da Hong, arrived in front of the Sect Leader's Great Hall.
Catching a glimpse of Ye Feng sitting on a recliner, Ling Yue walked up and smiled, "Sect Master Ye, I've encountered quite a few problems with my cultivation, and I've specifically come to consult you."
Clatter!
She placed a storage ring on the table.
"This is the consulting fee."
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Ye Feng discovered that there were 10 Upper Grade Spirit Stones inside the storage ring, along with a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. In total, their value was at least equivalent to 30 Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
"No problem!"
He immediately sat up straight to listen to Ling Yue's questions.
"I've cultivated an Eighth Grade Spell called 'Tianluo Show,' but I've only managed to reach Major Achievement and never reached Perfection..."
Ling Yue explained in detail.
She truly had encountered problems in her cultivation, and previously she would consult with the Divine Origin Realm Great Powers of the Royal Capital, but now that she had the chance, she naturally turned to Ye Feng for advice.
"That's simple!"
Ye Feng started explaining right away.
Endowed with the Heart of Wisdom, he excelled in deducing solutions and could almost instantly pinpoint the answer to minor issues in the cultivation of spells.
Before long, Ling Yue benefited greatly.
She took the opportunity to ask about problems she faced in breaking through realms and combined Ye Feng's explanations with the memories of Goddess Mingyue, cross-referencing them and making significant progress.
Boom!
That day, Ling Yue made a breakthrough in a minor realm, creating a phenomenon that rapidly spread throughout Whitefloat City.
The news even reached the ears of people in the Royal Capital and Heavenly Thunder City.
