“Mm!”
Her luscious lips were kissed. Ning Wan’s lotus arms tightened around her precious disciple’s neck as she proactively demonstrated the meaning of tenderness at the tip of the tongue.
Within the thin-as-cicada-wings flesh-toned stockings, ten delicate toes painted with red balsam involuntarily curled, showing the owner’s state of mind.
Eventually, as waves of breathlessness hit her, her jade face covered in a charming blush, Ning Wan’s entire body was limp and weak, leaning against Deng Tianyu’s embrace. Her beautiful eyes, brimming with moisture, were half-closed.
Those eyes held a hint of soul-stirring, dazed seduction, and the moisture on her fragrant lips seemed to silently tell the story of what had just happened.
At this moment, Ning Wan’s soft, boneless hand proactively sought out Deng Tianyu’s palm. Her delicate, fair fingertips slipped through the gaps, interlocking their fingers tightly.
She was very greedy for this feeling. Whenever she was with her precious disciple, she simply couldn’t suppress that nearly obsessive emotion, and of course, she didn’t need to suppress it.
Feeling the softness of his Shizun’s cool fingertips, Deng Tianyu didn’t speak, only burying his face in her three thousand strands of black hair, gently inhaling the refreshing and heart-penetrating fragrance.
After a long while, the languid Ning Wan slightly parted her crimson lips: “Snow Garment Pavilion should be making a move soon!”
“Judging by this situation, Snow Garment Pavilion will definitely send someone to buy a cheongsam first, then see if it can be copied.”
“Of course, just following the trend can’t instantly steal our customers either, because they’ve already formed a preconceived preference. Unless…”
Deng Tianyu thought for a moment, then spoke.
“Unless the ‘Unyielding Devotion’ magical garment is in short supply!” Ning Wan revealed a bewitching smile.
Deng Tianyu laughed: “It’s a pity Snow Garment Pavilion won’t see that!”
To put it in simple words: I predicted your prediction!
As he thought, Elder He of Snow Garment Pavilion quickly arrived at Moonlit Pavilion, only to be told that ‘Unyielding Devotion’ had already sold out, which showed just how popular it was.
“Miss Yue, Miss Chan, are there really none left?”
“Yes! How could it sell out so quickly?”
“This humble one won’t leave without buying a set of ‘Unyielding Devotion’.”
“If I’d known this, I would have come to Moonlit Pavilion earlier.”
“Right! What’s the use of Snow Garment Pavilion lowering prices on their magical garments? It’s always the same few styles. We’ve long been sick of them!”
For a moment, many female cultivators in the venue who had come late, thus missing out, couldn’t help crying out. Some even started complaining.
That feeling of watching others wear ‘Unyielding Devotion’ and stunning everyone was truly unbearable.
Hearing this, the innocent bystander Elder He’s mouth twitched. He quickly recovered, thinking to himself:
“I didn’t expect Moonlit Pavilion’s new magical garment to be so popular.”
“A love of unyielding devotion, combined with a magnificently beautiful appearance… even I’m somewhat tempted.”
Seeing the bustling scene, Liu Chan and Liu Yue exchanged a look and calmly addressed the crowd:
“Everyone, although today’s ‘Unyielding Devotion’ is sold out, you can pre-order.”
“What does ‘pre-order’ mean?” Someone asked, puzzled.
Liu Chan and Liu Yue smiled and explained: “Pre-ordering means if you pre-order ‘Unyielding Devotion’ today, it will still be at the price of 1288 Spirit Stones per set.”
“Of course, after today, whether buying on-site or pre-ordering, it will be at a price of 1588 Spirit Stones per set.”
“Then I’ll pre-order three sets! Purple, yellow, and blue. I’ll come pick them up at this time tomorrow!”
“This humble one wants four sets…”
“I want every set…”
Upon hearing this explanation, the crowd’s eyes lit up, suddenly understanding. They hurriedly began pre-ordering, fearing they’d be left behind.
In just a short while, the atmosphere was stirred up again, and the scene became crowded and lively once more.
To this, Elder He did not stay longer in Moonlit Pavilion. Instead, he went out and found a female cultivator who had bought the ‘Unyielding Devotion’ set.
After offering a higher price, he obtained this newly released magical garment set from Moonlit Pavilion right out of her hands.
A moment later, on the second-floor chamber of Snow Garment Pavilion.
After putting on the cheongsam, stockings, and high heels, Rong Qian couldn’t help but sigh that this set of magical garments was indeed unique.
“Wearing it is indeed pleasing to the eye, and it perfectly accentuates a woman’s figure.”
“Add to that the story of ‘Unyielding Devotion’… no wonder it could steal away these customers.”
“Workshop Master, what should we do?” Elder He inquired.
After pondering for a moment, Rong Qian sneered coldly: “If Moonlit Pavilion can refine it, why can’t we?”
“Theirs is ‘Unyielding Devotion’, then we’ll create a ‘Wing-to-Wing Flight’!”
“But Moonlit Pavilion has already used this method. If we use it again, will people even buy it?” Elder He offered his opinion.
“There are so many cultivators in all of Youzhou. Can one Purple Cloud Sect eat the entire market?”
“With our financial power, as long as we can successfully copy it, we will sooner or later surpass Moonlit Pavilion.”
“Elder He, take this cheongsam back first. Analyze what materials it’s made of and see if it can be replicated.”
“Then, stop today’s discount measures. No need for these useless actions.”
Rong Qian spoke to Elder He with utter confidence.
As a Workshop Master, she had extremely rich experience and keen intuition.
Otherwise, how could she have expanded a previously insignificant sect to its current scale?
“Yes!” Elder He nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
As time passed, night fell upon An City.
“Knock… knock!”
On the second floor of Moonlit Pavilion, the door was knocked upon.
“Enter!” A voice, authoritative yet carrying a hint of allure, sounded.
Click… clack…
With the sound of high heels hitting the ground, Liu Chan entered the room and bowed respectfully:
“Sect Leader, all 5000 sets of ‘Unyielding Devotion’ have been sold out. There are 6786 additional pre-orders.”
“Here is today’s account. I humbly request the Sect Leader to review it.”
Ning Wan nodded, taking the ledger. “This Seat understands.”
Liu Chan bowed again and left the room.
Before leaving, she glanced at the youth with an extraordinary temperament sitting beside the Sect Leader.
Everything that had happened today had been planned and orchestrated by the Sect Leader’s disciple.
Even every single word, every single pause, had been guided by him beforehand.
At the time, she didn’t understand the purpose, until she saw the bustling scene today and realized the nuances within.
“This time, Snow Garment Pavilion has truly tried to steal a chicken, only to lose the rice used to lure it.”
Looking at the numbers in the ledger, Ning Wan chuckled softly.
She knew this was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Because all of An City was vast. After today’s test run, all Moonlit Pavilions under the Purple Cloud Sect’s name would begin selling ‘Unyielding Devotion’ one after another.
“Under the pre-order model, even if Snow Garment Pavilion can quickly copy it, they won’t be able to compete for many customers.”
“What we need to do next is expand our sales channels and let all of Youzhou know about ‘Unyielding Devotion’.”
Deng Tianyu took a sip of fragrant tea, gazing out the window at the vast, boundless starry sky.
He had only been trying out the concept when he introduced modern clothing like the cheongsam.
But since the trial had been affirmed, he had to strive for greater profit. This could also be considered a small contribution to the Purple Cloud Sect.
Come to think of it, he had been freeloading at the sect all these years!
