Chapter 118 Opening Ceremony
It seems that the position of the head of the Chi family is also in jeopardy. Not to mention Yu Xiaoluo, even Shangguan Peiyu is so powerful now. I wonder what kind of sorcery this woman has cultivated.
He simply couldn't believe that Shangguan Peiyu could progress so quickly through proper cultivation.
Shangguan Peiyu hadn't expected that she was so much more powerful than the Elders, and she became somewhat smug.
However, after trembling for a while, the five talismans were bounced back. Because the force was greater this time, the force of the rebound was also greater. Since there were five talismans, the backlash was also greater. Shangguan Peiyu let out a muffled groan, felt a sweet taste in her throat, and actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhang Kuang ran to her side and helped her up.
Shangguan Peiyu stared menacingly at the three shops within the protective formation, her teeth clenched, and said, word by word, "Yu Xiaoluo, one day, I will defeat you."

The next day. Yu Family Villa.
As soon as Yu Xiaoluo woke up, her head was buzzing from the chattering of Xiaozhuzhu.
“Master, yesterday Xuanwu and I guarded the shop as you instructed. Sure enough, some bad guys came to cause trouble, but thankfully we had your protective formation. Those bad guys couldn’t get in and were even attacked.”
“They came in three people at first, then an old man came, and then there was that wicked woman, Shangguan Peiyu. She’s quite powerful now; she actually managed to shake your formation. Luckily, it wasn’t broken.”
Yu Xiaoluo finally came to her senses. "You mean Shangguan Peiyu wanted to come to my shop and cause trouble in the middle of the night?"
"Hmm, two of them were even carrying gasoline. That's terrible. Maybe I should steal the gasoline and burn their shop down sometime."
"Uh, you just said she's pretty powerful, that she could actually shake my formation?"
"Yes, has she practiced some kind of sorcery?"
Before Yu Xiaolu could say anything more, there was a knock on the door. It was Chen Kejing's voice, "Luoluo, it's time to get up. Today is the opening day of your store. Dress up nicely and be there on time."
"Okay, Mom."
Because Little Pearl, Little Fairy, and Xuanwu the Humanoid are still children, it is not appropriate for them to appear in the store, so as not to cause people to misunderstand that the store employs child laborers. Therefore, they are usually kept in the space or their own rooms and are not allowed to come out unless necessary.
Or, like yesterday, let them work the night shift at the store, and then they can go back to their space to sleep during the day when everyone else is at work.
They can stay wherever they want, except they don't appear in the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall during the day and guard the shop at night.
Now, the Yu Family Metaphysics Academy is like a big family.
Thinking that today was the opening day, she felt it was time to celebrate. So Yu Xiaoluo chose a red new Chinese-style dress to wear, and then asked Xiaoxianxian and Xiaozhuzhu to comb her hair and put it into a very unique updo. After adding some simple hair accessories, she went out with Yu Liang and Xiaohaha after breakfast.
Seeing their backs from the window, the three little demons were a little disappointed, and they were really jealous of Little Toad.
"Growing this big is amazing!" The three demons unanimously decided that they would not take naps and would instead focus on cultivating until they could take on the appearance of an adult, at least sixteen or seventeen years old.

When Yu Xiaoluo and her two companions arrived at the shop, Qiao Hongzhu and her two companions were already there and opened the shop door.
Moreover, the entrance was piled high with congratulatory flower baskets and gifts.
Zhuo Fan said happily, "Master, these were all sent over by others, and they all seem to be your relatives and friends."
Qiao Hongzhu smiled and held up a notebook. "Master, I've written down all the gifts they gave, and their names too. They left after returning the gifts."
Yu Xiaolu glanced around and saw that they were indeed all their older brothers and sisters. She felt bad that the homecoming banquet had cost them so much money, and now the store opening was costing them so much money again.
So she picked up her phone and posted in the "We Are a Loving Family" group, "Brothers and sisters, I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight. I've reserved a table and posted it in the group, so please come!"
Yu Wenli and Chen Kejing, along with the other two Yu brothers and Bao Manman's family, were also present. Zhuo Fan's father, as expected, brought a large flower basket with a group of relatives and friends, seemingly intending to support his son's business.
Including the staff inside the store and the people gathered at the entrance to watch the excitement, there were already quite a few people.
The opening ceremony officially began. Yu Xiaoluo said a few words, "Today is the first day of Yu Family Metaphysics Hall's opening. I welcome everyone for giving me, Yu Xiaoluo, so much face. I'll keep it short. Let me first explain the rules of my shop. I only accept difficult and complicated cases because these are more troublesome to resolve and may require going to many places. Therefore, I only accept one to three orders a day. Sometimes I may not accept any orders. If an order cannot be processed in time, it will have to be postponed. If you don't want to waste time, you can ask other staff members in our shop to take a look, or you can go to another shop. Please don't let waiting delay important matters."
"Other more common matters, such as fortune telling, name selection, feng shui consultation, and marriage prediction, are handled by my senior brothers Hua Zi, Zhuo Fan, Qiao Zhuangyi, and Qiao Hongzhu. My senior brother is undoubtedly capable, but he is only temporarily acting as a substitute. The other three are also exceptionally capable, selected from over a hundred people. They are all elites in metaphysics, so everyone can rest assured. If they encounter any problems they cannot solve, they will call me, or I will handle it for them."
"Regarding the fees, it depends on the customer's financial situation, ranging from 1,000 yuan to one million yuan. We will charge more for those with financial means, and we will charge a symbolic fee for those who are in financial difficulty."
"Our main branch only accepts reservations, while the other two branch offices do not accept reservations. Please take a number and wait in line; it's first-come, first-served. Since today is the first time, all reservations at our branch offices are free. Each branch office will issue 100 numbers; we'll see all available slots—"
Upon hearing the news, those who were watching the spectacle quickly lined up to get a number, fearing that they would miss their turn if they were late.
Zhuo Fan's father was immediately alarmed when he saw this. How could something free count as a performance indicator? Wouldn't that be a waste of time and effort?
It seems I'll have to come back tomorrow.
"Our Yu Family Metaphysics Academy only does good deeds to accumulate merit. We will not accept guests who want to harm others for their own benefit."
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Thank you all for coming, uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas, brothers, and sisters. Now, let's officially open for business." After saying that, a burst of firecrackers marked the end of the opening ceremony for the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall.
Bao's mother came over with a smile, "From now on, I'll take care of your lunches here. I'll have the shop's staff pack them up and deliver them over, so you can focus on your work."
Yu Xiaolu thought about it and agreed with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Auntie. From now on, we can just put our meals on the tab."
