Chapter 65 - Con Artist Proposed to a Celebrity After He Scammed Her $300 Million

The group endured the awkward atmosphere. After two hours of traveling at the speed of sound, they found a long flat-surface mountain. Its height was merely a kilometer above sea level, a lot shorter than Divine Cloud Mountain.

As they descended, everybody spotted a fleet of 100 flying medieval carracks. A terrifying aura of quasi-immortals radiated from the decks. Some immortal foxes in disguise observed Li Wushuang, their eyes gleaming with lust.

Huli Jiubai slightly opened his eyes, glaring at the demonic foxes on the ships. He sent a telepathic voice to Fu Tong, warning him.

’That’s the Yuemei Clan’s fleet. They’re dead serious about pursuing us.’

Fu Tong glanced at Huli Jiubai and replied.

’Have you informed Senior Jin Yanxiong?’

’The lord? I already did. He should have recalled all our scouts and trade delegates by now.’

Fu Tong’s expression changed. He wondered if he had to participate in another war between the immortal clans.

Fortunately, Huli Jiubai was competent. He told Fu Tong good news.

’It will be different this time. We’ve got the Immortal Ji Clan’s support because of Ji Zixuan and your political marriage. While you were busy, Ji Laopan and I finalized another transaction. They have already shipped 100,000 spirit-grade weapons, armor, consumable artifacts, 50 warships, and 200,000 stones worth of immortal-grade A5 wagyu... I mean, provision to our city, though we spent 300,000 karma coins for everything.’

Fu Tong was relieved, though he took a mental note on the wagyu part. He planned to return and enjoy those later.

’Do you lack funds? How is the treasury?’

’The lady has already transferred 500,000 coins to fill the treasury as a backup. But if you have some extra, please transfer them to me. I will transport them back to the city and update the lord on the war funds.’

Fu Tong grinned. Secretly, he transferred a million karma coins from his inventory to a dummy storage ring.

Meanwhile, the giant flying sword descended to the front entrance of the mountain city. Everybody stepped down from the floating sword.

Fu Tong took the opportunity during the disembarking process by leaping from the sword and landing behind Huli Jiubai. He slipped the dummy ring into the old fox’s pocket.

The fox butler slightly nodded as he sensed it. He closed his eyes and pretended that nothing had happened. As for Fu Tong, he turned around and rejoined the outer disciple group, allowing Tang Youyan to cling to him.

Huli Jiubai thanked Fu Tong.

’Thank you, young lord. With this, we have nothing to fear. We can also use them in battles.’

’Come find me if you need more.’

’You are indeed our clan’s blessing. Of course, I’ll do my best not to waste them. Also, if you need anything, do not hesitate to call me. I’m here as your assistant.’

’Send me some of the wagyu you mentioned when we return.’

’Hehe. Of course.’

Fu Tong valued the old fox’s help and support, and Huli Jiubai also cherished their mutually beneficial partnership. The more they worked together, the more they respected each other.

After adjusting their formation, Li Wushuang took the lead and approached the front gate of the sect.

Instantly, 10 nascent soul cultivators in black robes leaped over the walls and landed 50 meters in front of Li Wushuang. Their sect leader also came out.

Liu Qingmi, the 300-year-old sect master, appeared to be in his late 40s. A portion of his hair was white, but everything on top of his head was bald. His rugged gray skin, chinless facial features, uneven goatee, short height, and big belly made him look undesirable to the opposite gender.

The man, though plain-looking, put his arms behind his back, pretending to be charismatic. He smiled at the beautiful sect master, though his eyes only focused on her chest and hips.

"Welcome, dear Wushuang. Are you here to accept my proposal?"

Everybody frowned when Liu Qingmi mentioned ’proposal’. Even Yin Qingming’s expression turned dark in disgust.

Tang Youyan tugged Fu Tong’s arm and asked.

"What’s the proposal? What is he talking about?"

Fu Tong described their backstory. "That man over there has been pursuing our sect master for decades. He proposed to her, but she refused."

"Oh. A toad trying to eat swan meat?"

"... Something like that."

Their conversation was so loud that Liu Qingmi heard it. Offended, he turned to Fu Tong and Tang Youyan. As soon as he spotted another hidden beauty, his anger vanished. Liu Qingmi licked his lips, his mind calculating a scheme.

Li Wushuang didn’t waste time exchanging pleasantry. She pulled out three karma coins and showed them to Liu Qingmi.

"I’m here to pay back the loan and retrieve what’s mine. These are three karma coins. One of them can be traded for a spirit-grade artifact from the immortal realm, and it’s worth at least 50 million spirit stones."

Liu Qingmi’s expression changed. He froze for a minute and refuted.

"Little Wushuang, we only accept spirit stones. We don’t do barter trade. Unless you can pay 100 million spirit stones upfront, we cannot return the portal artifact for you."

Li Wushuang glared at Liu Qingmi in resentment. She knew that Liu Qingmi was aware of the karma coin’s true value, but he feinted ignorance to corner her. Fortunately, she had prepared for this scenario.

She turned to Yin Qingming. The grand elder took the hint and stepped forward. He brought out a small box containing 100 storage rings.

"In that case, here are 100 million spirit stones. Please count them." Yin Qingming spoke.

Fu Tong raised an eyebrow, wondering how Li Wushuang managed to procure 100 million spirit stones in a few days while the Ji Clan couldn’t.

The answer was already right in front of Fu Tong. Huli Jiubai turned around and raised his index finger, touching his lips.

’Yeah, you again.’ Fu Tong shook his head.

Huli Jiubai elaborated. ’I exchanged some when I was negotiating with Ji Laopan. But since you’re helping the lady over here, I figured that she might need it, so I ordered Yin Qingming to pretend that he handled the exchange.’

’Tell me when you have more spirit stones. I also need those!’

’You were in seclusion. I didn’t get an opportunity to give you!’

Fu Tong snickered and shook his head, forgiving Huli Jiubai. He turned to the show and looked forward to the cliche soap opera.

Liu Qingmi’s reaction didn’t disappoint him. He accepted the box full of storage rings and flipped his tongue.

"I see that you’ve collected enough, but you forgot to pay the interest. You still owe me 200 million spirit stones!"

"WHAT?!" Li Wushuang was enraged. "I PAID YOU 10 MILLION SPIRIT STONES EVERY MONTH! WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?!"

Liu Qingmi snorted. "You only paid half of the interest! The interest adds up every day, and it accumulates! Now, will you pay me the rest of the money? Or rather, you can always accept my marriage proposal, and we can write this debt off."

Li Wushuang touched her sword. She thought of a thousand ways to kill Liu Qingmi in the most painful way, but she didn’t dare to draw her weapon.

Just as Li Wushuang was about to lose it, Long Hao shoved everybody aside and unsheathed his sword. He yelled at Liu Qingmi’s face.

"Return the artifact, or I’ll chop your head off like a pig."

Everybody flinched. They didn’t know how to react to the stupid outer disciple. Even Fu Tong couldn’t help but facepalm at Long Hao’s tactlessness and recklessness.
