Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2090: Chapter 217: Scumbag Wang Fugui Exposed, Part 4

Unlike those military camps, the atmosphere here is more relaxed. Compared to a base, it feels more like a small market town located inside a base.

In this “market town,” stations from major commercial guilds are everywhere, and signs purchasing materials can be seen everywhere. Some bustling areas even have restaurants, tea houses, and occasionally storytellers who spontaneously perform, recounting the recent hot events between the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties.

This place is considered the most lively spot in the base.

On the west side of Glory Street, among the many guild stations standing tall, is a building adorned with colorful flags, standing out from its surroundings.

On the lintel of the building hangs a golden sign with the glorious words “Duobao Pavilion” shining brightly.

As the largest commercial guild organization in the entire Human World, Duobao Pavilion has stations in major human bases. This building is the branch of Duobao Pavilion in the Immortal No.3 Base.

Compared to other guild stations, the branch of Duobao Pavilion not only occupies more space, but is also more luxuriously decorated, with more style, giving one a sense of reliability at a glance.

Relying on years of accumulated reputation and strong supply capabilities, Duobao Pavilion’s business has indeed been the best as usual.

However, recently, the base has been in turmoil, causing the once-bustling Glory Street to become desolate. Naturally, the customer flow in Duobao Pavilion has also plummeted.

However, due to an increase in official orders, Duobao Pavilion’s actual turnover hasn’t been greatly affected.

On this day.

The shop assistants in Duobao Pavilion, feeling bored, leaned on the counter, taking their leisure time by casually chatting.

At first, they were talking about the frontline battles, about who messed up the defense where, and who made contributions. Somehow, in the midst of their conversation, they started gossiping.

“Have you heard?” Shopkeeper A said with a somewhat wretched smile, “Something interesting has happened recently in our Immortal No.3 Base.”

“Are you talking about Miss Yuxuan’s series of outstanding achievements?” Shopkeeper B glanced at him suspiciously, then suddenly remembered something and asked.

“Although Miss Yuxuan’s series of outstanding achievements is impressive, it pales in comparison to this matter,” Shopkeeper A chuckled, “Have you heard of Wang Fugui?”

“Of course we’ve heard of him.” Many shop assistants nodded, “It’s said he is predetermined by His Majesty the Immortal Emperor to be the head of the Chuan Nan Princess Mansion, the future husband of the Little Princess. Tsk tsk~ What a lucky and fortunate guy.”

“Hehe, some time ago I saw him taking a stroll with Princess Zhao Yu, and buying a lot of rare treasures from our Duobao Pavilion for Princess Zhao Yu, seemingly to please her.”

“What? Isn’t Princess Zhao Yu from the Demonic Dynasty, the Little Princess? It’s said she came with the Third Prince of the Demonic Dynasty to assist at Immortal No.3 Base. The base even publicized the Demon Emperor’s commitment to the bigger picture at a critical moment.”

“Could it be that that rascal Wang Fugui is trying to have his cake and eat it too, not only wanting to possess the Little Princess from the Immortal Dynasty but also the Little Princess from the Demonic Dynasty? My god, is he even human?”

“Isn’t he? Truly shameless~~ I heard that his grandfather was the same way, marrying two Commandery Princesses at once. He clearly inherited this trait, surpassing his predecessor, intending to marry two princesses at once!”

“I also heard that there might be the Demon Emperor’s shadow behind this matter. Princess Zhao Yu was brought to meet Wang Fugui for a blind date.”

“Isn’t this too much of a scoundrel, too much of a jerk?” The shop assistants indignantly cursed Wang Fugui’s scumminess, yet showed infinite envy.

“Scum as he is, he happens to be rich~ I heard that last time when the Chuan Nan Princess and Princess Zhao Yu argued on the spot, afterward Wang Fugui gave each of them an Immortal Spirit Stone, and then they stopped fighting.”

“Oh my, casually giving away Immortal Spirit Stones…”

“Not just that, I also heard Wang Fugui boast that Immortal Spirit Stones are nothing. He even has Chaos Spirit Stones and a family-given Immortal-grade Bloodline Enhancement Fluid.”

Even though these Duobao Pavilion shop assistants generally only possess Heavenly Human Realm strength, due to their work, most of them are well-informed, having seen many legendary Heaven and Earth Treasures. Even if they haven’t seen them, they know roughly about them.

However, the items Wang Fugui showed off were mythological treasures they had only heard rumors about!

“Chaos Spirit Stone? Is that the thing worth a hundred Immortal Spirit Stones each? Surely True Immortals would drool over that?”

“What do you know! That Immortal-grade Bloodline Qualification Improvement Liquid is even more formidable. It’s said that even in the Divine Martial Era it was extremely rare, capable of defying fate and nurturing sons and daughters of heaven into world’s best treasures.”

“Chaos Spirit Stones are even better. It’s said True Immortals cultivating with them have incredibly fast speed… perhaps they can even break through minor realms~ isn’t that stronger than that so-called Elixir Improvement Liquid?”

Amidst their dispute, they also marveled at Wang Fugui’s “unprecedented wealth.”

No wonder he can easily handle such chaotic situations, stepping on two boats, with both the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor seemingly consenting without interference. Truly a life that makes people envious and jealous~~

Just as they were eagerly chatting, suddenly a cold female voice came from behind, “Are you few not working anymore?”

At some point, a woman in white stood behind them.

The woman appeared to be about thirty years old, her hair arranged in a married woman’s style, with only a simple white jade hairpin. She was dressed simply.

Yet, such simplicity didn’t make her unnoticeable; instead, it added elegance and grace to her demeanor. Especially the trace of hidden sorrow between her brows and eyes gave her a rather unique charm, like a pure orchid blooming in a secluded valley, with a refreshing elegance and immortal presence.

Seeing her, the shop assistants were startled, hurriedly withholding their expressions, and respectfully saluted the woman, “Shopkeeper.”

It turns out this woman is the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion’s station at Immortal No.3 Base, Madam Shuanghua.

Don’t be fooled by her gentle and delicate appearance, for she actually wields strength at the Advanced Stage of the Divine Power Territory, holding considerable status even within Duobao Pavilion. If not, she wouldn’t have been dispatched to oversee operations at the Immortal No.3 Base.

It’s said that Madam Shuanghua once had a partner early on, who later went missing unexpectedly in battles against the demonic clan outside the domain. To pursue his whereabouts, she applied to be stationed outside the domain permanently.

All these years, Madam Shuanghua never gave up searching for her partner, often inquiring about news among other merchants or bases nearby, and occasionally visiting the Demonic Realm herself to investigate, often remaining for long periods.

This isn’t a secret in Immortal No.3 Base, with many fellow and senior cultivators admiring Madam Shuanghua’s deep love and showing considerable care toward her.

Privately, the shop assistants often speculated that the shopkeeper’s partner was probably no longer around. After all, in the ever-changing situations of the external battlefield, most cultivators never return once missing.

Of course, they certainly wouldn’t dare to say such things in front of Madam Shuanghua.

Now caught slacking by Madam Shuanghua, the shop assistants immediately scattered, quickly bustling about, burying themselves in work.

They dare not provoke Madam Shuanghua.

However, as the shop assistants were busy diminishing their presence, they failed to notice that at the moment they scattered, a fleeting hint of greed flashed across the always respected Madam Shuanghua’s eyes.

Her face remained expressionless, but her hand hidden within her sleeve unknowingly clenched, while her heart sneered repeatedly.

Wang family, oh Wang family, who would’ve thought your family produced such a spendthrift. In that case, let me, Madam Shuanghua, first collect some interest~~
