Chapter 133: Plotting against Dai Huabin!

Star Luo Empire

Capital, Star Luo City.

"Lulu, Lulu, let's go... let's go out and play today."

"It's finally a holiday. I heard the XM brand released new products recently. Don't you like the special silk products there?"

Zhu family.

Dai Yaoheng swept his gaze over Zhu Lu's slender waist and the black silk she had changed into from leather pants, and swallowed his saliva.

"Sorry, I need to cultivate recently, and also, Father won't allow us to go together..."

Before Zhu Lu could finish her sentence, a resonant voice resounded.

"I allow you to go out and play together."

Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin turned their heads; it was a middle-aged man with a square face, black hair, a goatee, and a pair of sharp black eyes.

"Fa... Father!"

"Uncle."

Several months ago, the Star Luo Empire and the Xuanming Sect reached a commercial cooperation.

The Star Luo Empire decentralized power in Star Luo City, and the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce invested a large amount of funds. Soon, a plaza named XM rose from the ground.

It made a great contribution to improving the local economy and providing employment opportunities for nearly tens of thousands of people.

Now, after several months of construction, the XM Plaza had officially opened, and the surrounding areas had begun normal operations.

Of course, the XM building had also opened, but it was only open to royalty, nobles, and even the imperial family.

XM top floor.

Xu Nian'an stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Star Luo City, with a different kind of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"The Star Luo Empire is indeed quite good to our XM."

"To be able to give up such a prime location, I'm afraid that from now on, this area will be the most prosperous commercial street in the entire Star Luo Empire."

From this, one could see that the Star Luo Empire indeed had plans to marry Princess Xu Jiujiu to Xu Nian'an.

"Young Sect Master... they aren't entirely well-intentioned either."

"This plaza, the building, and the shops around the commercial street, although they all belong to my XM, the money for construction and publicity was all our real silver and gold."

"Now, we have already invested over 100 million gold soul coins."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

He really hadn't expected that building a plaza and a building here could cost him so much money.

Plus, some time ago, the market for ice silk, clothing... reached saturation.

If it weren't for the fact that other soul tools were on the shelves, the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce would have been ruined by Xu Nian'an sooner or later.

However... now all of this was no longer a problem.

Because the most profitable integrated soul tools were about to go on sale.

After that, it would be a continuous stream of money.

"What is the tax rate here?"

Xu Nian'an had long since looked at the financial statements of the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce. Currently, there were about 100 million gold soul coins in the account, and the rest were outside.

It was the cash flow of first-tier cities in the two great empires.

"Young Sect Master, it is... 65%!"

That's right, 65%... outrageous, right? This was still because Xu Nian'an and Xu Jiujiu had intervened.

However, Xu Nian'an wasn't in a hurry.

This tax rate was definitely not normal, and Xu Nian'an wouldn't agree to it.

If he sold at this tax rate, Xu Nian'an would sell for 1 million gold soul coins and get 350,000.

That was purely working for others.

Although he didn't need too much cost for the integrated soul tools, metal cost money.

What's more, was he making money for himself, or making money for others?

Originally, Xu Nian'an's plan was to marry Xu Jiujiu and then lower the tax on XM integrated soul tools.

After all, they would be family then; let alone 65%, even not having it was possible.

But now the plan had changed.

Xu Jiujiu didn't marry him, and Xu Sanshi died in the Star Luo Empire. This was getting interesting.

Xu Nian'an could guarantee that after this incident, if the tax rate was higher than 10%, the entire XM Plaza would only sell ice silk.

Knock knock!!

Just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Xu Shang went to open the door, and a person wearing the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce uniform whispered something in Xu Shang's ear.

Before long, Xu Shang returned to his previous position and said respectfully to Xu Nian'an.

"Young Sect Master, people from the Zhu family are here."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

"Yo, this XM building is quite nice. Lulu, there's pearl milk tea sold over there. Do you want to drink it?"

Dai Huabin brought Zhu Lu into the XM building, looking left and right.

Seeing something written as pearl milk tea, he immediately asked.

"No need, I'm not thirsty. Let's finish shopping early and go back."

"I'm in a hurry to go back and cultivate."

After the last incident, Zhu Lu's personality changed drastically, and her favorability toward Dai Huabin dropped sharply.

He actually treated her like a commodity and bet her with someone else, and the most hateful thing was that he lost.

Lost to another man.

Thinking of this, Zhu Lu couldn't help but recall Xu Nian'an's towering figure.

Plus the scene where he easily handled Dai Huabin, she had even less interest in Dai Huabin.

In her dreams, she would often ask herself how she had liked Dai Huabin before.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late to regret it now; she had to rely on her own strength to change her destiny!

"Lulu, wait a moment, I'll go buy two cups, it'll be ready soon, just wait!"

Dai Huabin turned around, his face turning gloomy rapidly.

"Damn slut, bitch, if it weren't for Mother..."

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, feeling very disgusted with Zhu Lu.

Ever since he saw her kissing Xu Nian'an last time, Dai Huabin felt Zhu Lu was very slutty and cheap, and she even dared to give him a cold face.

She even let his mother and so many people in the White Tiger Duke Mansion help her hide it. Fortunately, he saw it, otherwise...

If it weren't for his mother, to be honest, Dai Huabin wouldn't want to pay any attention to Zhu Lu at all.

Just like that, the two people who were not in harmony in appearance or heart separated.

"What a coincidence, you're here too. However, why didn't you come to tell me when you came to my territory, so I could fulfill the duties of a host."

Just as Zhu Lu was waiting patiently for Dai Huabin to come back with the pearl milk tea, a warm voice sounded in front of Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu was stunned and looked up instantly, meeting a pair of white-blue eyes.

Snow-white silver hair, a polite smile, dressed in white royal attire—who else could it be but Xu Nian'an.

"It's you!"

Zhu Lu widened her eyes instantly.

She really hadn't expected that she had just been thinking about Xu Nian'an, and now she could see him.

"Xu Nian'an... can we get to know each other again?"

Looking at Xu Nian'an's outstretched hand, Zhu Lu instinctively reached out too.

"Zhu Lu."

Xu Nian'an's hand was very cold, but warm and moist like jade, not like a human's hand at all.

Suddenly, a great force came from this hand, and Zhu Lu was caught off guard and pulled in front of Xu Nian'an.

"Zhu Lu, have you seen someone?"

"She seems to owe me a kiss. Can you help me ask her now if she has decided?"

Hearing this, in an instant, Zhu Lu's cheeks turned bright red.

"Xu... Xu Nian'an, you, don't be like this, I..."

Smelling the unique fragrance coming from Xu Nian'an, Zhu Lu only felt her body getting hot, and her legs were a little weak.

With the blessing of the perfect male god, and the previous various help, understanding, and assistance that lit the lighthouse of Zhu Lu's life.

Zhu Lu's initial favorability toward Xu Nian'an was very high; now she just needed to break that layer of window paper.

"Yo, you're here too, mama's boy?"

Xu Nian'an looked provocatively behind Zhu Lu.

Seeing Xu Nian'an and Zhu Lu so close and behaving intimately, Dai Yaoheng was instantly furious!
