I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 240. Hua Ruoxi
Chapter 240: 240. Hua Ruoxi
At that moment, Xia Weiyun explained the situation:
"The current Emperor ran out of funds halfway through refurbishing his tomb, so he had several Chief Eunuchs scrounging around for money. Hua Ruoxi came to Jinmen claiming she needed to collect a total of 10 million silver coins!"
"Just gathering that amount of money is difficult enough, but Hua Ruoxi wanted to skim a little off the top for herself. So, she put the word out that she was selling her own ’Innate True Qi.’
"Opportunities like this are rare, and that eunuch is fairly trustworthy, so why not give it a shot?"
Lu Li, not lacking money at all, immediately agreed, "I’m very interested, how should we proceed?"
"Bring more money... preferably gold, to the Astor Hotel at 8 o’clock tomorrow evening. I’ll come with Master Nan to accompany you, just in case that eunuch pulls any tricks."
It’s essential to be cautious, and elder sister has thought of everything so thoroughly, warming one’s heart.
Lu Li quickly said, "Thank you, Sister Xia! By the way, I’ve brought the ’item,’ when are you free?"
"We can do that when we meet tomorrow evening; I’m currently tagging along with this Dead Eunuch extorting money all over the place, not in Jinmen."
After all, the National Martial Arts Association is a court institution, and it always has political tasks. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
"Then we’ll meet tomorrow."
Having settled the matter, Lu Li hung up the phone.
Xiao Cha, who had heard everything clearly, marveled:
"I’ve only heard of martial arts masters selling their inner breath, I’ve never seen an Innate Master sell True Qi... must be desperate for money!"
"Indeed..." Lu Li nodded and said, "But it’s also a rare opportunity, otherwise, Sister Xia wouldn’t have made a special call."
"That’s true." Xiao Cha looked Lu Li up and down and chuckled mischievously:
"I heard that Mr. Lu’s family owns a mine, come~ let this humble one see how much money you have~"
"You’ll know soon enough."
Lu Li grabbed Xiao Cha’s ample behind firmly, saying, "We’ll continue with peaches tonight, prepare a few more mattresses."
Xiao Cha bared her little tiger teeth, "Humph~ I’m not afraid of you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Calling over puppets "0, 3, 4," Lu Li didn’t return to the clinic and directly activated the Trans-border Divine Skills in his room.
A flash of light and he vanished, returning to Blue Star.
The vast estate was deserted, eerily quiet.
Lu Li, accompanied by the puppets, headed for the room where the gold was stored and casually video called Jessica.
In less than three rings, the young girl answered: "Hi~ Lu Li~"
Despite her young age, one could almost squeeze water from her tenderness, yet she was dressed in a black mink coat and hat, creating a charming contrast.
Lu Li smiled and asked, "Are you done with your business? Are you coming back soon?"
"I’ve just signed the contract for three Mi-28 ’Catastrophe’ helicopters~"
Jessica said:
"Rash is currently under sanctions, and the three armed helicopters are being transported under the guise of ’medical helicopters’ without any weapons attached. I plan to procure the necessary weapons from Northern Industry."
"Alright, go ahead and do it, just be safe."
"Darling, I miss you so much~"
"Hmm, when you come back, you’re still due for punishment! Sneaking up on me, running off to Rash without a word, we have to settle all these accounts!"
"Ah? No, please!"
...
After a dose of sweet talk, the two finally ended their communication, and Lu Li entered the room where the gold was stored.
Upon opening the door, he was greeted by a small mountain of gold.
Gold, being extremely dense, doesn’t take up much space—two tons aren’t a lot. If packed tightly, it would be about the size of two boxes of wine.
At the moment, the pile in the room had been constructed by Jessica stacking gold bricks like building blocks to achieve this effect.
Lu Li pulled out five leather cases, each filled with 200 kilograms of gold, taking a total of one ton.
"This should be enough."
He then returned to the estate warehouse and activated Cross-border.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Otherworld, Xiao Cha was waiting with a heart full of curiosity.
Her man had brought back many magical things before, but not much money. This time she would finally get a glimpse.
She didn’t have to wait too long, as Lu Li quickly emerged from the room, followed by three puppets carrying suitcases.
Xiao Cha rushed over excitedly, and Wanqing, hearing the commotion, also curiously came over to take a look.
Lu Li smiled and snapped his fingers... the puppets immediately opened the suitcases in their hands.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes were dazzled by a brilliant gold color, and their hearts thumped violently and involuntarily!
This wasn’t due to greed, since intelligent beings instinctively liked this unique and stable element.
Since ancient times, humans had agreed upon valuing gold as a precious metal, a symbol of wealth.
And in the Otherworld, gold could even serve as a medium for extraordinary power, its value only ever increasing.
Xiao Cha picked up two gold bricks and rubbed them against her face, utterly intoxicated,
"Wow, Young Master Lu is indeed a wealthy magnate! Wanqing, come and try~"
She then took two more gold bricks and placed them against Wanqing’s face.
Wanqing smiled gently, merely happy. After all, her husband had already given her a Flying Sword; the girl’s threshold was extremely high.
Everyone played and joked around for a while, then all that was left was to wait for the next evening.
Lu Li pulled Xiao Cha toward the house: "I want to eat peaches."
"Oh come on, it’s only been a few minutes, don’t drag me..."
The two tumbled into the house with a series of tug and pulls, while Wanqing quickly covered her ears to avoid having her mental state disturbed by her friend’s shrieks.
Yet deep down, she too began to feel an itch... being intimate, especially with one’s husband, was indeed a beautiful thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the time reached 7 pm the next day, Lu Li, along with three puppets, made his way to the "Astor Hotel."
The hotel, located on Central Street, was in the lease of the Angsa Federation, quite bustling.
The latest model cars were driving on the streets, and both sides of the road were filled with large banks and foreign businesses, the very image of a financial center.
Having called ahead, Xia Weiyun was already waiting in the lobby.
Seeing a nun in a gothic luxury hotel was somewhat comically incongruous.
As soon as she saw Lu Li approaching, she hurried over and said,
"Many people want Innate True Qi. That Dead Eunuch has gathered them all here; he’s probably going to hike up the prices."
"No matter, I don’t really care about money."
Lu Li took a phonograph from one of the puppets and handed it to Xia Weiyun,
"This can help one enter a state of Forgetfulness, just find a quiet place to listen to it."
Xia Weiyun received it with a toothy smile, "Thank you, little brother Lu."
She didn’t act as a stranger; her Sect’s core Cultivation Methods had been given to Lu Li; they were no longer outsiders to each other.
"Let’s go, meet that Dead Eunuch. The man is greedy for money, but as long as there’s money, there’s nothing that can’t be done!"
Xia Weiyun led Lu Li toward the banquet hall with a wave of her hand, and then added,
"Oh, I just found out that Mr. Nan has some connection with that Dead Eunuch, they have known each other for quite a few years."
Lu Li nodded; it seemed that this added an extra layer of security to the situation.
Upon reaching the banquet hall, many people had already arrived, each occupying a table.
Nan Jiping was conversing with a skinny, pale-faced elder without a beard, likely that Chief Eunuch "Hua Ruoxi."
At that moment, Lu Li stared at the other party for a moment.
And Hua Ruoxi instantly turned around to meet his gaze, then came forward with a smile,
"Is this Young Master Lu in person? Our house has long admired your reputation, welcome, welcome."
His smile was sincere, which seemed normal.
After all, they all came bearing money.
