Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 514

“Want some?”

Yamamoto gave a small nod as Ryuu handed him a bag of popcorn which he accepted with a smile on his face.

“Thank you.”

Ryuu returned the smile as he spoke out loud, “I know you all are working but for the moment just relax and have some popcorn, and enjoy the show.”

As Ryuu spoke out loud one by one the bags containing popcorn disappeared from the table as Ryuu looked at the screen in front of him.

Yamamoto stared at the corner of the room as he spoke with a sigh, “It simply amazes me that they are willing to listen to you after all they are die hard loyal to Her Highness and only listen to her orders.”

Ryuu snorted as he spoke, “They are listening to me because they have been ordered to do so only when my orders do not clash their orders to protect me.”

Yamamoto looked at the screen in front of him as he spoke with a disappointed look on his face, “We are spying on them and they have yet to realize it.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, “So true also thank you for the array advisor Yamamoto it is helping us to spy on them.”

Ryuu munched on a fistful of popcorn as he spoke as he bit back a mȯȧn, “The popcorn made from ‘Cumulonimbus Corn’ tastes so good it is a great choice Advisor.”

Yamamoto nodded with a happy smile on his face as he spoke, “So true it simply melts in our mouth and with right spices it tastes heavenly but what this drink that you have brought with Your Highness, it tastes great.”

“Ah, this is something that I found a vendor selling it, it smells like orange but the fizziness of the drink makes it tastes good but it is made with only mundane ingredients if only we could get one suitable for cultivators.”

Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, “Something worth investing, it would sell well with many of our clients.”

Ryuu nodded as he focused on the screen in front of him, he watched as one by one the guests had occupied their rather posh seats as he spoke with a frown, “I like those seat designs maybe we can upgrade ours to something similar and then may be put some array on them so that if they pay something extra then they can get massage whenever they wish to.”

Yamamoto stroked his beard with a contemplative look on his face as he spoke, “Massaging chair where you will have to pay a little bit more for it to work, hmm, we will have to conduct a study on it to see if it is profitable and as for renovating this place we have to see the budget, but at the same time it is inadvisable to copy their design, maybe we can show it to some of our designers so that it might spark some idea in them.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, “We can definitely do that but most importantly the people of Kuvosie certainly have some rather nice artisans.”

Ryuu’s eyes then fell on the workers of the auction house as his face gained a look of disbelief as he spoke out loud, “Advisor if I am not wrong I am watching the workings of an auction house right?”

“It is Your Highness.”

“Then why do their workers look like prȯstɨtutės hired from some brothel.”

Yamamoto simply smiled as he snapped his fingers and the view on the screen changed as it showed Ryuu the interior of the VIP balconies and all he saw was debauchery at its finest.

“Your Highness, many third trashes use these techniques to entice their customers, and all those workers whether they are male or female, are well trained in the art of pŀėȧsurė and seduction, this tactics is such that is not tolerated in Shangri-la and any branch caught practicing such will cause severe actions taken against the superior of that branch.”

Ryuu’s face scrunched up as he witnessed the hedonistic and debauchery of the guests only for his eyes to widen as he looked into a particular room as he spoke quickly, “Advisor the previous room, please show me the room again.”

As Yamamoto showed him the room again a large smile blossomed on Ryuu’s face as he spoke, “My my one of the Queens of the Xia dynasty is having an affair with the acting Patriarch of the JI clan.”

Yamamoto had a look of distaste on his face as he spoke, “What an unfaithful woman, it is simply so disgusting.”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, “From what I know the Emperor is in love with his Empress but the rest of the consorts are from political marriages also from what we know the Emperor and Empress have yet to have any children and the Emperor has vowed that until and unless Empress gives birth to his heir he will not have children with any of his consorts.”

Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, “I see, I can understand why she is doing such a thing but still it is distasteful we are not like mortals who would die bȧrėly reaching a century, we have long life and female cultivators unlike mortals can still give birth even after millions of years so her actions are still despicable.”

“Actually it is not only her, the rest of the consorts have taken one or a couple of lovers as well, the Emperor is said to be a wise and shrewd man and I would not be surprised if he already knew about it, but is waiting to use it for his gain.”

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes as he spoke, “You are right Your Highness, the Emperor might be planning something but what will we do about them.”

Ryuu smirked as he spoke, “Advisor did you not say that array could record as well.”

Yamamoto nodded as he spoke, “Yes it can.”

“Then do so, but at the same time I do not wish to watch them fornicating so can we change the view to somewhere else.”

“Of course it can be done Your Highness.”

With that, the view changed as Ryuu watched the proceeding of the auction with a disinterested look on his face, and as the auction house entered a frenzied state upon seeing one of the items Ryuu could not help but let out a tired sigh.

“Is something wrong Your Highness?”

“I was just thinking how privileged I am, those people are fighting tooth and nail for a ‘Four stripped Enlightenment fruit’, to them it is some kind of heavenly treasure but back in Ayindril the garden surrounding my manor has a Six strip one and yet I have never touched it, they grow, they ripe, then they fall over to rot away yet I have never touched it, but look at this people, seeing the scene in front of me I can definitely say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Yamamoto simply smiled at his words as he spoke, “So true your Highness, it is same for many cultivators some of them have to gamble with their lives for a single low level spirit crystal whereas others have all the treasure but at the end of the day it depends everything on the cultivator for as long as he stays true to his path he can achieve miraculous results.”

Ryuu did not say anything as he gave his undivided attention to the proceeding when all of a sudden a vicious smirk appeared on his face as he spoke, “The show is about to begin now.”

Hu Cheng sighed as he watched the ‘Four Stripped Enlightenment Fruit’ was auctioned off in front of his very eyes, he desperately wanted to buy it but alas it was sold for at least ten times the amount he had, as such all, he could do was to curse his luck and swallow the bile.

As he looked at the large smile on the person who won the fruit he mused out inwardly with bȧrėly concealed anger in his heart, ‘Look at that buffoon smiling like he has won the world I wonder how long he will be able to keep it with him after stepping out of the auctions.’, Hu Cheng’s eyes fell on a group of people as bitterness once again rose in his heart, ‘Forget it, there are many who would want to steal the fruit, people who can kill me with a slap, I will just have to make sure that I am far away when the fight breaks out.’

Then it happened his KI began to swirl controllable as he vomited copious amount of blood, a scene that soon was imitated by the majority of the guests, but that was not the only thing that took place the stomach of the guests rumbled hard as their bowels suddenly seemed to be on verge of letting loose.

Meanwhile back with the General Manager and his Advisor, a matching grin appeared on most of their faces as Ryuu’s mind flashed back to the time when he began setting the stage for the revenge.

A figure dressed completely head and toe in black stood on top of a tall building as he looked towards his target which was bathed by the moonlight.

‘It had to be a full moon tonight, oh well it is nothing that I cannot fix.’

Ryuu raised his hand as a small cloud appeared blocking the moon as he once again looked at the building a small smirk graced his cloth-covered face as he whispered lowly, “Now let me make this a bit fun.”, and with that, he disappeared from his position.

He jumped and landed on top of the building without making a noise, he could see the guards patrolling the area but alas he could not attack them even knocking them out would be inadvisable for his current mission as such he stepped into the shadows completely.

‘Ah, I can already feel the array surrounding the place, but whoever put the array did a shabby job as long as I suppress my KI to as low as a common house rat I will not be detected, but even if I suppress it to such a level I am still deadlier than all of them combine, now let me check the array.’

A few seconds later Ryuu’s eyes twitched as he suppressed the urge to scream and then drag the array master who created it and beat the person to death.

‘Which idiot created this, I can easily take over the array, no it is even worse in fact anyone who has never even known the concept of an array can break into it, the entire think is ridiculous, it is like creating a fort but forgetting to install doors then sticking archers up on top of the wall with only swords as their weapon and then destroying any means for them to climb down, it is like asking the fort to be captured.’

It did not take him a minute to learn about the entire layout of the auction house not to mention the entire array was already in the palm of his hands.

‘Hmm, now let…’, Ryuu was stunned for a moment before he facepalmed himself hard, ‘What am I doing? I am colossal idiot I tried to make it challenging to me but I came across the array system and took over it, I have already decreased the level of difficulty from a percent to zero, what an idiot I am, ugh well I do not feel motivated enough to modify my work so I will press forward.’

Ryuu dashed towards the roof entrance of the building he dashed into the shadows as it opened with a groan as a couple of people entered the roof and as they moved forward one of the guards shouted out, “Close the door idiot do you wish to get shouted at or whipped, tomorrow is a big day we have been instructed to guard properly.”

The person in question spoke in a tired tone, “Ya ya I know, just keep an eye on those Shangri-la bastards we do not want them to pull anything.”

Unknown to them those moments were enough for Ryuu to slip inside the auction house, as he dashed down through the stairs jumping over the head of one of the guards as he stuck to the ceiling as he moved like a spider for some time, before jumping down on the ground down and dashing down another set of stair before he reached the last door which separated him from his goal which was accompanied by a yawning guard who was leaning near the door.

Luo Han let out a yawn with a bored look on his face, ‘Being a disciple of Ji Clan is so hard, cultivation is so hard, I am already a peak Wanxiang Adept at hundred and fifty years of age, I worked so hard and now I am tired and I want to go home and sleep.’

Luo Han did not even notice anything as a figure slipped past him, and then opening the door and entering into the storage area.

Ryuu looked around the storage area as a small frown formed on his face, ‘I understand that the space expansion array may not be available to them but this is horrendous, they should have created more space and tried various means to separate items, keeping all of them stashed like this would affect the more volatile items like medicinal pills, but oh well their loss is my gain.’

He quickly checked certain crates and located certain items before he placed a talisman on them, the talisman that had been crafted by Yamamoto.

‘After this entire fiasco is over I will delve my hand into learning about arrays that govern space and time but for now it is time to switch part of the contents of the storage.’

It took a few seconds for Ryuu to interchange the affected resource making sure only to move the resource and not their container, the resources that were placed in semi-stasis thus prevented them from releasing their noxious vapours was finally like a raging river whose dam has collapsed and Ryuu happily ȧssisted it to pollute the contents of the storage room, in fact, he even went ahead and increased its potency.

Upon finishing his work a spark of inspiration appeared in his head as he quickly added a few more tweaks inside the array system of the auction house before he left.

Back at present Ryuu sipped the beverage as he spoke with a content sigh, “It feels so great when all plan comes to fruition.”

Yamamoto simply nodded as a fistful of popcorn found its way into his mouth as Ryuu continued to speak with a cold look in his eyes, “Now I will just have to deal with those unscrupulous suppliers who supplied us with poisoned products.”
