Villainess protagonist, villainess protagonist, villainess protagonist!
Important things must be said three times.
As a steady and deranged individual, Meng Wan has never been a good pe...
This restaurant is antique and located in this corner, so it doesn't look out of place.
The aroma of wine and food wafts out of the restaurant, making people salivate.
Occasionally, a few disciples entered the restaurant with expectant looks on their faces.
Looking at the restaurant in front of him, Qi Yunxiao's face showed strange color and his eyes flickered.
He could tell at a glance that this restaurant was not real, but an illusion purchased by a mirage!
Considering that Meng Wan is only at the first level of Golden Core and has been enrolled in school for only half a month, it is unbelievable that she can cultivate the mirage to such a level!
Qi Yunxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression much more relaxed, and commented in a calm voice.
"You really used the mirage well. It's so realistic and ingenious.
However, most of the students in the lower house are short of money. The income of this restaurant is only a few hundred spirit stones a day, which is the limit. It is only tens of thousands of spirit stones a year."
He paused and looked at Meng Wan with a smile.
"Could it be that Junior Sister Meng is planning to give me all the profits from this restaurant?"
Hearing this, Meng Wan smiled sweetly and shook her head gently.
"Brother Qi, you're joking. I'm doing some side hustles just to make money, so I can't just give away all the profits.
However, one restaurant can earn hundreds of spirit stones. What if you build a few more?
Besides, the students in the Golden Core Stage are short of money, but those senior brothers and sisters in the Nascent Soul Stage should have a lot more money, right?"
Senior Brother Qi understood and said meaningfully, "Junior Sister Meng built such a large restaurant, but she hasn't invited you to sit in the restaurant yet."
Meng Wan smiled and extended her hand, making a "please" gesture. "Junior sister, I am negligent. Brother Qi, please move inside the building and have a chat."
Qi Yunxiao nodded slightly and stepped into the restaurant first.
Chen Shu and Meng Wan followed closely behind and went in.
After entering the elegant seats on the second floor, Qi Yunxiao took the main seat, while Meng Wan and Chen Shu sat on both sides.
"The concept of this restaurant is really ingenious."
Qi Yunxiao looked around, exclaimed in admiration, leaned back, and said leisurely.
"Junior sister, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly."
Meng Wan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"I want to open a few restaurants and teahouses like this in the performance venue, selling spiritual wine and delicacies. Of course, the rule is that no food is allowed to be taken out of the restaurant.
It’s just that my cultivation is low and my abilities are limited, so I need Brother Qi’s help.”
Qi Yunxiao raised a smile and said, "As a senior brother, I have to get involved in this kind of business that makes a lot of money without any investment.
It's just the profit, I want 70%."
Without doing anything, he asked for 70% of the profits. Meng Wan agreed without even raising her eyebrows when she heard it.
"Okay, but I have two conditions."
Seeing that Meng Wan agreed to his request, Qi Yunxiao was in a good mood.
"If you have any conditions, just state them."
"First of all, although Meng Wan feels that she has some talent in the art of illusion, there are always people better than you. With my current attainments in illusion, it would be difficult for me to deceive my senior brothers and sisters in the Nascent Soul stage."
Meng Wan said sincerely, "I hope Senior Brother Qi can help introduce one or two Nascent Soul cultivators who have profound attainments in the Way of Illusion."
"I have also considered this."
Qi Yunxiao nodded slightly, "I have a good friend who is proficient in illusion. I can let him participate and be responsible for maintaining and improving the illusion array."
"I naturally trust the people introduced by Senior Brother Qi."
Meng Wan smiled slightly and continued.
"The second condition is quite simple. Once the restaurant opens, more customers will come in, and it's inevitable that there will be some arguments and friction.
It would be best if senior brother could be responsible for the daily maintenance and elite of the restaurant.
Senior Brother Chen Shu and I are close friends, and I hope he can have a place among the restaurant's management staff."
For such a big business, Qi Yunxiao must use his own people, but Meng Wan also accounts for 30% of the profits, so it is not impossible for him to insert someone in.
Qi Yunxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll send a message now and ask my friend who's good at illusion to come over."
Not long after the message was sent out, a monk wearing a gray Taoist robe and with a thin face hurried over.
As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the scene in the restaurant and praised it repeatedly.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Such an exquisite mirage, it's truly amazing!"
The person who came was the cultivator who was proficient in illusion arrays that Qi Yunxiao mentioned - Wang Anyi.
When he learned that Meng Wan, who built this exquisite restaurant, was only at the first level of Jindan, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
"Young friend Meng Wan, your talent in the Way of Illusion is truly admirable."
Wang Anyi praised sincerely, "You have delved into illusion techniques to this extent at the first level of Jindan. You will definitely become a great talent in the future."
After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
“Brother, when I was at your level, I didn’t have this ability.
However, Junior Sister's cultivation is still lacking, and some details are not handled well enough."
As he spoke, Wang Anyi glanced around the restaurant and pointed out several inappropriate details.
Meng Wan followed the other person's gaze, but shook her head.
"Brother, I cannot see the inappropriateness of what you said with my cultivation and vision. Please correct me."
"Okay, since Junior Sister has spoken, I'll take action."
As Wang Anyi spoke, he waved his hands, and as the spiritual power flowed, the entire restaurant seemed to have subtle differences compared to before.
"Okay, I'll leave the restaurant business to you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
Seeing that the two were having a pleasant conversation, Qi Yunxiao said hello and simply left with Chen Shu.
He wanted to find some capable subordinates to help him manage the restaurant.
After the two left, Meng Wan continued to communicate with Wang Anyi.
Both of them are masters of illusion, and when people of the same trade meet, they always have endless things to talk about.
The two of them talked about the practice methods of Mirage and the details of the subsequent teahouse construction. They talked for two whole days without feeling tired at all. Instead, they felt that they had gained a lot.
Wang Anyi was full of admiration, "Junior sister, your thinking is unique and remarkable. I admire you."
Meng Wan shook her head. "Brother, you're too kind. You're very experienced and proficient in countless illusions. I'm the one who's benefited the most."
After finalizing all the details, Meng Wan and Wang Anyi began to build the teahouse.
The first step is still to construct the appearance of the teahouse in the sea of consciousness. This step is completed by Meng Wan.
As for the subsequent improvements and the handling of certain details, Wang Anyi will be responsible.
With the joint efforts of both of them, a quaint teahouse was built one day later.
A fluttering banner was hung under the eaves, with a capital letter "Tea" written on it.
The fresh woody fragrance, accompanied by the refreshing tea aroma, permeates the air, echoing the luxury of the restaurant.
After the teahouse was completed, Meng Wan and Wang Anyi continued to build snack stalls.
Soon, small and exquisite stalls appeared one after another, selling steaming buns, crispy and delicious fried cakes, and sweet and refreshing Lingtanghulu...
