Chapter 104: The perfect couple with their own hidden agenda

"Ma'am, where do you get this from?"

Wen Rui said innocently, "Yes, maybe I deliberately made friends with Gu out of consideration for profit, hoping to use his reputation to expand the sales of Caiyifang brand and occupy the Taoist clothing market. But you said that I tempted him to have an impure Taoist heart, which is too unfair."

At this point, Wen Rui turned to Gu Changfeng and said, "Mr. Gu is such a genius and his determination is so strong, how can a mediocre person like me shake him?"

"Bright words!"

Yan Ruoyan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze revealing a mixture of contempt and annoyance: "You must have some agenda for him, so you're just coming after me. You're no different from those coquettish bitches, all of you deserve to die."

"Mr. Gu, I am wronged! Your Madam has a deep prejudice against me. It seems that this deal will not be successful."

Wen Rui smiled helplessly and said, "I gave money to the virtuous couple and still got scolded. Never mind. At most, I can settle for the next best thing. I heard that Meng Changqing from the Jade Ding Immortal Sect and Han Ling'er from the Golden Court Immortal Sect are also a pair of harmonious lovers. I'll go find them. I can spend less on the endorsement fee. At most, I can help them spend some spirit stones to promote them, build momentum for them, and make them famous."

"Hey, hey, hey... slow down."

Gu Changfeng waved his hand quickly and said, "Boss Wen, don't give up so quickly. Let me talk to my wife in private and clear up the misunderstanding."

After that, he stood up and pulled the reluctant Yan Ruoyan out of the reception room, stood by the railing of the treasure ship, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, control your temper in front of outsiders!"

"A filthy mortal, and you want me to be polite to him?"

Yan Ruoyan frowned and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You want to get both money and beauty, right? That Wen is even more despicable than those coquettish bitches. She is just a demon who harbors evil intentions and seduces people to fall into depravity and acts as your pimp. But you happily fell into her trap!"

Gu Changfeng and Yan Ruoyan dared to plot loudly behind Wen Rui's back, which was also due to their lack of knowledge of modern technology and their underestimation of the abilities of ordinary people. Wen Rui, a mortal, was sure that his five senses were dull and he could not use any magical powers to eavesdrop remotely, just like humans would not worry about earthworms strangling themselves.

They scanned the area with their spiritual senses and found no suspicious fluctuations of spiritual energy nearby, so they thought there was no possibility of being eavesdropped and continued their conversation as if no one was around.

"Isn't it for our future cultivation and pursuit of the Tao to be smoother?"

Gu Changfeng said aggrievedly: "Twenty million spirit stones every year. You know how difficult it is to obtain spirit stones nowadays. With so many spirit stones coming in, we don't have to worry about anything we need to advance to the Mahayana stage!"

"I don't care!" The married woman shook her head and said, "You definitely don't just want the spirit stones. If you really love me, why would you covet those material things and let me suffer?"

"Why are you so ignorant!" Gu Changfeng raised his voice, and when he realized something was wrong, he switched to voice transmission: "Can't you understand my hard work? Cultivation is not about having love and water to satisfy your hunger, and being together for life. You also need spirit stones to live a carefree life. Do you know how hard it is for me to try every possible way to earn spirit stones outside?"

Misty mist rose in Yan Ruoyan's bright eyes, and a tear slid down the corner of her eye: "You yelled at me...you don't love me anymore!"

Gu Changfeng held her in his arms with great distress, kissed away the tear with great tenderness, and said in a hoarse voice: "All the mistakes are my fault. I am not good enough to make you worry-free in this life..." "Kill him!"

Yan Ruoyan suddenly spoke, her voice trembling but extremely resolute: "Just like killing those coquettish bitches, prove that you still love me!"

"Yan'er, calm down."

Gu Changfeng stroked her back and said softly and carefully and patiently, "If you don't like me to cooperate with him, then we won't do it. But if we kill him, we will have to go to hell together and be buried with him. Don't you miss the beauty of the world anymore?"

"Isn't he just a little bit of money? Maybe he also has some rumored background, but it's not certain whether it's true or not!"

Yan Ruoyan's tone became increasingly out of control, and she shrieked, "The founders of our respective sects are Daoxing Tianzun and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. Besides, he is just an ordinary person, while we are the geniuses that are rare in our sects. It's not like you didn't kill the disciples of Lishan Laomu before, and nothing happened to you?"

"Yan'er, you haven't entered the sect's high-level circle yet, so you don't know much."

Gu Changfeng lowered his voice and said, "Wen Rui is different from ordinary Lishan disciples. Don't forget that he is still inheriting the Jinling Sect's tradition! Killing him is equivalent to destroying the Jinling Sect. Lishan Old Mother will definitely not sit idly by for the sake of his senior sister, the Jinling Holy Mother."

"Alas..." Yan Ruoyan sighed, and seemed to have regained her clarity of mind: "In that case, I'll listen to you. But I really can't swallow this breath. He is just an ordinary mortal, and when he saw my fairy-like appearance, he didn't show any surprise or admiration. He was too contemptuous of me and committed a crime of disrespect!"

"Yan'er, I understand..."

Gu Changfeng comforted him, "But there is no need to worry. The law of nature is clear and retribution will come. Such a blind and foolish sinner will be punished by heaven. He is just an ordinary man. His weak body is bound to suffer from many diseases and a short life. It is a one in a million chance. By that time, we will have been deeply involved in the business of the Chamber of Commerce. It will not be easy to suppress those ordinary merchants. We can reap the benefits... Then everything he has will be ours."

"Changfeng, I know you will never watch me get humiliated. You understand me, and you are the most reliable..."

"Follow the will of heaven and you will become a human being, go against the will of heaven and you will become an immortal. He is just an ordinary mortal, but he wants to use money to drive people like us who seek the way and cultivate immortality. This is really a way to death. Mortals who don't understand their own situation and can't put themselves in the right position will only bring disaster upon themselves! Let's hold back our anger for now, and sooner or later we will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and take down this demon who defies heaven."

Wen Rui, who had activated a bugging device in the living room to eavesdrop on the conversation between the crazy couple, felt a headache throbbing and his three views were refreshed. He thought, it's true that a couple should be together forever, and what I'm eating is not dog food but dog shit. What sin have I committed that I have to act with this crazy couple?

It sounded like Gu Changfeng wanted to give himself some chronic poison to disguise it as a natural death or an accidental death.

Instead, they plotted against me, but I am very lucky!
For Wen Rui, who has already analyzed most of the data packets in the Return to Void Realm, strangling Gu Changfeng to death is probably as easy as strangling a chicken. Sometimes he feels that there is really no need to lower himself to play with such a maggot-like thing.

Who in their right mind would want to play with maggots?
But I think it's better to keep good habits and not see nails when I get a hammer. After all, I still have to deal with those enemies, gods, immortals and Buddhas in Heaven and Lingshan in the future. I have to play with the maggots for a while and just treat it as a rehearsal for the formal performance of setting up traps and deceiving my enemies in the future.
