The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1657 - 1656: Grand Opening

"My family? How many sensible people are left in my family? Last time I offended those people, my family has already expelled me from the genealogy because they were worried it would cause trouble for them, so what identity do I return with now?"The family that once seemed the closest, pushed Yue Er straight into Hell when she needed help the most.

"Oh, in that case, there's no need to return to West Island. Kao Shan Sect is quite good too. You're still young, and when you meet someone you like, Kao Shan Sect will be your maiden family. I'll prepare a lavish dowry for you to marry with great fanfare, and I assure you it'll be far more than your family would prepare for you."

Tang Rao suddenly mentioned preparing a dowry for Yue Er, catching her off guard. Back on West Island, she had often dreamt of wearing a phoenix coronet and waiting for her beloved to take her away. But after arriving at Kao Shan Sect, her thoughts had transformed. The idea of seeking new love and starting over was far from her mind; she only wanted to remain at Kao Shan Sect.

"Master, I've never thought about needing a dowry or getting married. If possible, I'd rather stay at Kao Shan Sect, willing to do anything."

Tang Rao knew Yue Er's thoughts, but Yue Er only expressed them directly. Tang Rao could only pretend not to understand.

"Alright, you can stay at Kao Shan Sect as long as you want. If you ever decide to marry, just tell me, and I'll arrange everything."

Yue Er knew this was already the best outcome and didn't push further to bargain with Tang Rao.

...

All shops on Kao Shan Road opened overnight without any promotion or guests invited to create a bustling atmosphere. With just one command from Tang Rao, all the storefronts were opened.

On the first day, few people came, mostly out of curiosity, buying just a little. By the second day, Kao Shan Street was bustling with people visiting each shop, and everyone from Kao Shan Sect came to help as temporary workers. Even so, the shops were still busy.

"Wow, based on this situation, are you intending to bring the entire Blue Star business model to the Divine Realm and make a fortune?"

If only one person was invited to witness Tang Rao's grand opening, it was none other than Yan Wei.

This partner in the Divine Realm had given Tang Rao a lot of support. Without Yan Wei, even a trip back to Blue Star would have been difficult for Tang Rao.

"What fortunes am I making? Aren't the profits meant for you? Why talk about distances between us?"

Tang Rao considered selling Blue Star's products in the Divine Realm and also thought about giving some Divine Realm goods to Yan Wei for him to take to Blue Star's Moon for profit.

"Brother, it's not about distance; it's just that your business is getting bigger, and I'm under more pressure. At this rate, how many goods need to be transported here? Have you calculated?"

Yan Wei sighed, knowing the money is never-ending, but he understands Tang Rao well.

Apart from making money, Tang Rao seemed to have no other hobbies.

"I've calculated. But my dad, Tang Renwang, owns such a large enterprise, Dynasty Industry. He can afford to pay for these goods; I won't use your retirement money, so relax."

Yan Wei was worried because he still had a wife and daughter to support, and compared to Tang Rao, his life pressures were much greater. If Tang Rao opened a lot of stores but later lacked funds for maintenance, it would be quite difficult.

"Yan Wei, you little rascal are so realistic. I have another plan; if you're interested, I can show you a way to make money, how about it?"

Tang Rao's eyes gleamed, mentioning a way to make money. Though he had many ideas, only one was sustainable without stiff competition.

Trading!

Take not-so-bizarre Divine Realm products to sell on Blue Star or the Moon, and use the money earned to purchase goods to sell back in the Divine Realm. Through this process, even currencies that don't originally interconnect suddenly become interconnected.

"What kind of business? If it's a money-making venture, you would think of me?"

Yan Wei was skeptical, mainly because he often saw Tang Rao making money but rarely got involved, fearing Tang Rao was just joking, giving him an illusion, and though Yan Wei listened, he thought Tang Rao was just teasing.

"Of course I thought of you. We're brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. Why don't you trust me?"

Tang Rao shared his thoughts with Yan Wei, and before finishing the first half, Yan Wei was already interested.

He had considered this idea before, wanting to discuss it with Tang Rao. The possible issues of transporting Divine Realm goods to Blue Star concerned him, so he temporarily abandoned the idea. However, now that Tang Rao brought it up again, Yan Wei readily reached a consensus with Tang Rao.

"Look, isn't that the beauty streamer Bai Xiaotong? I wanted to buy the same compact she used, but couldn't find it anywhere. Now she's here, doesn't it mean we can buy many things we've never seen before?"

Across Kao Shan Street, the best business was still the beauty shop managed by Bai Xiaotong.

Beauty is a woman's nature, and many women flocked around, unable to contain their excitement at seeing their goddess up close.

"It seems like her, indeed. She's even more beautiful in person than seen in Illusion City. Look at her skin, as smooth as porcelain, flawless. If I had such skin, would I have trouble finding an ideal groom?"

"You? No matter how much you dress up, you're still a Mountain Chicken. Don't fool yourself thinking you can match our goddess and become a Phoenix."

Bai Xiaotong was diligently introducing makeup use to visitors, but her supporters below were close to causing an uproar.

"What did you say? You're the Mountain Chicken. Your face is so ugly; don't waste money buying these things. It's just a waste."

"What did you say? If you dare say one more word, I might just kill you here!"

The woman repeatedly called a Mountain Chicken became infuriated after being criticized by several people.

"Kill me? Only if you have the skills. Don't forget, this is Kao Shan Street, Tang Family Master's territory. Anyone who causes trouble here is as good as dead."

Indeed, this was Tang Rao's domain. How could she forget important details like that?

Hands that were already outstretched and nearly at the woman's throat, withdrew due to a few words.

"One's skin has its own spirit. Treat it well, and it responds well; ignore it, and it self-destructs. There are no ugly women, only lazy ones."
