Cheng Xiaofan held Bai Yiling in his arms, sitting on the body of a dragon fish, and immediately flew towards the island in the center of the lake.
For a moment, cultivators along the shore took out their mobile phones to take pictures, uploading this bizarre scene to various forums and social media.
In their minds, the appearance of such a heaven-defying dragon fish here must be related to the dragon qi that appeared here.
Furthermore, the reason why that dog, that eagle, and this young village bully could overpower some cultivators was definitely related to absorbing dragon qi.
Thinking of this, those cultivators felt as if their hearts were being scratched by cat claws, wishing they could find a simple, brutal, and direct method to absorb all the dragon qi in the lake at once.
Not long after, Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling appeared on the island in the center of the lake.
Cheng Xiaofan entered the duty room of the fishery department, turned on the loudspeaker, and sat there shouting, "Dear tourists, dear friends, welcome to Zhuxi Village's Nanshan Lake!"
"Nanshan Lake is a place of beautiful scenery, very suitable for cultivators to fish and relax. There are hotels and accommodations on the island in the center of the lake. Here you can taste the fish from Nanshan Lake and the unique delicacies of Zhuxi Village!"
"Of course, everyone is an adult, and everyone is a cultured and refined person in the cultivation world. You should understand what it means to 'follow local customs'!"
"Without rules, there can be no order. Anyone who comes here to fish and travel must abide by the rules here and not act recklessly according to their whims!"
"I, Cheng Xiaofan, have always been righteous and magnanimous. If you respect me an inch, I will respect you ten feet!"
"It is precisely because of my noble character that those beasts with unique abilities have all knelt before me and proclaimed me the King of Nature!"
"Oh, right, starting tomorrow, I will instruct the people in the Zhuxi Village Fishery Department to erect a new advertisement board at the main entrances and exits of Nanshan Lake. Everyone must follow the instructions on the advertisement board to restrain your free and undisciplined behavior and act according to the rules!"
"We hope that those who are still wandering around Nanshan Lake will return immediately and appear here tomorrow with a brand new look and a brand new attitude!"
"My words end here. Everyone, please applaud!"
*Clap clap!*
Cheng Xiaofan was the first to applaud himself, and at the same time, he scanned the surroundings of Nanshan Lake with his clairvoyant gaze, like casting a net.
Embarrassing!
These people from the martial world showed no respect at all.
No cheers!
No applause!
Damn it!
Don't you know that the Goddess Bai is by my side?
How could this make me feel?
Fortunately, those people were obedient and left the shore of Nanshan Lake one after another.
After all, these people did not want to conflict with a village bully like Cheng Xiaofan. Wu Chenglai and Brother Zhou and others from before were the best examples.
Instead of conflict, it was better to fish civilly and improve their cultivation level in the most refined way.
Only by standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, what is a mere village bully?
Seeing that everyone around Nanshan Lake had left, Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said to his own Goddess Bai, "Yiling, the fishery department and the vegetable production department are now all managed by Tang Guihua."
"Go and communicate with Tang Guihua and ask her to have someone immediately make a new advertisement board and erect it at the entrance and exit of Nanshan Lake."
"The advertisement board will stipulate that only three catties can be fished per day, and each catty must be charged one hundred thousand yuan!"
"Ah, wasn't the original price four hundred yuan per catty? Why has it suddenly increased to one hundred thousand? Won't this scare away all the people who come to fish in the future?" Bai Yiling asked.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "There's no other way, scarcity makes it valuable. The fish in our Nanshan Lake have absorbed dragon qi. If we don't increase the price, we would be letting down those cultivators!"
"..." Could these words still be accepted by people?
Alright, who told you to be my mysterious man? You're handsome, so everything you say goes.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan said again, "Tell Tang Guihua that the hotel can officially open tomorrow and ask her to arrange for people to operate it."
"Accommodation is free, but food and drinks must be paid for. For example, a fish that weighs one catty per fish, let's be a little cheaper for the cultivators, and only charge one hundred thousand yuan at the price of raw fish!"
"As for the super nutritious big white cabbage, ten thousand yuan per plate!"
"The fruit life platter, ten thousand yuan per platter!"
"Also, help to promote Mom's regular Happy Wine and Drunken Chicken in the hotel. Happy Wine, one bottle of one catty, is ten thousand yuan. Drunken Chicken, half a catty, is ten thousand yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Don't you think these prices are a bit high?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Yiling, you don't understand those cultivators. They are all people who care about face. If you set the price too low, they will think you look down on them."
"Besides, people in the cultivation world generally don't lack money. What they lack are rare treasures that can help them upgrade. We might as well take this opportunity to rip them off."
"This is an opportunity given to us by heaven. If we don't rip them off until they bleed, should we be Saint Mary?"
"..." These last words finally revealed the true nature of the mysterious man.
Fortunately, Bai Yiling had been trained in the business world for many years and was not unfamiliar with the little tricks Cheng Xiaofan displayed, even finding them quite to her liking.
"Okay, I'll go to the village office to find Director Tang later!" Bai Yiling said.
The two left the island in the center of the lake, one went to the village office, and the other went to the back mountain.
Cheng Xiaofan went to the back mountain, boiled a kettle of water, made a cup of golden tea, and lay in the rocking chair, preparing to search for information about Wu Chenglai on Baidu.
Although Wu Chenglai came from a hidden aristocratic family, Cheng Xiaofan did not take it to heart.
However, people like this absolutely could not be taken lightly, and he had to guard against them in secret.
He was afraid that some people would not play by the rules and would not dare to confront him openly, but would secretly attack his family.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaofan had to find out the opponent's background.
*Ring ring ring!*
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan took a sip of golden tea, his mobile phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Lu Shengming from the Jianghu Affairs Bureau calling.
"Hello, Old Lu, how have you been? Why are you calling me?" Cheng Xiaofan said slowly and calmly, as if his voice was as gentle as flowing water.
Immediately, Lu Shengming's dry laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaofan, you used to be a popular internet celebrity admired by all walks of life by playing live streams!"
"Now, because of the dragon qi leaked from Nanshan Lake, you have become a formidable figure on the Jianghu forums!"
A formidable figure on the Jianghu forums?
Cheng Xiaofan asked with a bewildered expression, "Old Lu, did someone cut your tongue? I don't understand what you're saying!"
"What Nanshan Lake leaked dragon qi?"
"What the hell is the Jianghu forum?"
"Can you explain it to me clearly?"
Lu Shengming said, "The Jianghu forum is an online forum recently established by our Jianghu Affairs Bureau, a base specifically for people from the Jianghu to express their opinions. Don't you know?"
