The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1252 - 1251: Letting the Powerful Take the Fall

"No worries, if you don't want to talk about it now, just tell me when you're ready."The Holy Mother didn't press Tang Rao, as she knew he probably had his own secrets.

"Holy Mother, you have to trust me. If I have something to say, I'll definitely tell you. I, Tang Rao, am an honest person and never tell lies."

Pfft, not tell lies? As if the Holy Mother doesn't know what Tang Rao is really like.

"I've got things to do, so I'll be off now."

Tang Rao clutched his bag, with the still warm Elixir Pills inside. He needed to deliver them to Zhang Wang before his shop opened, or Zhang Wang would be grumpy about losing business.

"Tang Rao, where are you going? Why don't we tag along? We have nothing to do here anyway. Treat it as us going out for a fun day with a guest. How about it?"

The Holy Mother spoke up, and Tang Rao didn't even dare to entertain the thought of refusing. But if he brought her along, his little secret would be exposed.

Yesterday, Tang Rao didn't even know what the White Elixir Fruit was used for, and today he's already on his way to deliver the Elixir Pills with that ingredient to Zhang Wang.

People who are a bit dim wouldn't think to go to Zhang Wang. Alas, the Holy Mother was too smart for Tang Rao to hide anything from her.

"Holy Mother, I have something urgent today, and I'm afraid I can't keep you company. I bet you have a lot to talk about with the Supreme Power. Are you willing to leave him behind for me?"

With just one sentence, the Supreme Power was struck speechless.

Tang Rao talked nonsense about feelings between the Holy Mother and the Supreme Power without thinking about the consequences. What if the Holy Mother took it seriously?

"Tang Rao!"

The Supreme Power wanted to have a word with Tang Rao, to clarify that his previous statement was baseless slander.

Just as he was about to speak, Tang Rao sent a message to him silently, "Do you still want that house in Zijing City?"

With that one line, the Supreme Power conceded defeat.

How could he not want the house in Zijing City?

The Supreme Power had pursued a better life all his life, and now that he finally got what he wanted, losing his favorite house over such a small matter wasn't worth it.

"Tang Rao, you'd better get on with your business. What are you still waiting for?"

With those words, the Holy Mother no longer intended to follow Tang Rao. She was keen to use the opportunity to have a heartfelt talk with the Supreme Power.

"Supreme Power, I assure you, I'll find you a place with the best feng shui. Thank you."

The Supreme Power helped Tang Rao, so it was only reasonable for Tang Rao to express gratitude towards him.

Tang Rao sprinted ahead until he reached the Kao Shan Shop. Zhang Wang was already pacing at the entrance, anxious that his delivery might not arrive in time.

He had promised that there would definitely be Elixir Pills for sale today.

If they still weren't available today, the Kao Shan Shop's reputation wouldn't recover in this lifetime.

"Boss! Boss!"

Seeing Tang Rao was like seeing a long-lost relative to Zhang Wang.

Tang Rao slowed down immediately, maintaining a safe distance from Zhang Wang.

"Zhang Wang, let me remind you that I'm a straight-laced, healthy, and normal-minded person, so don't get any funny ideas about me."

Otherwise, I won't be polite.

Tang Rao wanted to say this, but thought it might be too harsh, so he stopped himself from continuing.

"Here's the merchandise you wanted. Do you need to count it?"

Tang Rao handed a few bottles to Zhang Wang. Each bottle was a different color and served different purposes, but for Zhang Wang, as long as there were enough Elixir Pills, any kind would help sustain the Kao Shan Shop.

"No need to count, no need to count. I'll sell however much I have today. Boss, you have no idea. I'm now a renowned pill dealer in the Divine Realm, and many powerful families ask me to reserve Elixir Pills for them. People say our Elixir Pills are better in quality and effect than others. As long as the Kao Shan Shop has good Elixir Pills, selling them is never a problem."

"Selling Elixir Pills is all about reputation. Once sold to a reputable family, they won't come back to bite you. Remember, if you catch wind of an unreliable family, don't sell them any Elixir Pills."

Wen Jiancheng's Elixir Pills are only for those destined to have them.

"Got it, I understand."

The Elixir Pills Tang Rao left with Zhang Wang were at most sixth-grade. Seventh-grade pills weren't something he dared to deal with yet. Even if Wen Jiancheng's strength reached that level in the future, Tang Rao wouldn't dare to release them.

Seventh-grade pills would surely cause a sensation in the Divine Realm.

"Shopkeeper, have the Elixir Pills arrived yet? I've been waiting for them for so long. Calculate it yourself. I don't care; today you have to give me a good deal."

The man aimed to snag a bargain while buying Elixir Pills today. Although he was quite scheming, Zhang Wang acknowledged that in looking after his business, the man had given him considerable face.

"What are you saying, Seventh Brother? You've always gotten things at the lowest price from me. Have you forgotten?"

Zhang Wang could also engage in banter, selling quite a bit of Elixir Pills while chatting away.

Tang Rao watched from start to finish, and he had great admiration for Zhang Wang's skills. By the afternoon, the place was buzzing with people continuously coming in. After putting the Elixir Pills in their proper place, Zhang Wang found Tang Rao to report on the shop's situation.

"Boss, we're running low on Elixir Pills again."

Upon hearing this, Tang Rao's expression changed.

He had painstakingly prepared those Elixir Pills, and they sold out in a day, meaning Tang Rao had to go back and make more for Zhang Wang's supply.

"I'm out of them. Maybe I'll find another way?"

Tang Rao spoke hesitantly, to avoid giving Zhang Wang hope only to end up disappointing him.

"Boss, it's really not necessary to push yourself so hard. The time it takes you to make Elixir Pills is just too long. You're busy during the day, making pills at night, leaving no time for yourself."

Zhang Wang, of course, wanted to ensure his boss was well taken care of because it wouldn't matter much if others fell, but not if the boss did.

"Whenever Elixir Pills are available, people buy as much as they can. With so much, you still end up selling out. Instead of running yourself ragged, why not implement a scarcity strategy? Sell only a limited amount, and when you decide to sell more later, it's up to you. It's practically a service to the industry."

Then, the pricing of the Elixir Pills would be entirely up to Tang Rao and Zhang Wang. If one person doesn't buy, someone else certainly will.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say to you, Boss. I wanted to ask you, Boss, now that people from the Elixir Hall are asking where our Elixir Pills come from, what should I say?"
