Chapter Two Hundred, The Foolish Tycoon
Little Colorful Xia?
That name… feels a bit familiar.
Young Master Sang furrowed his brows and thought for a long time before suddenly slapping his forehead.
“Holy crap, isn’t she that Master Crystal’s idol?”
“You remembering that is already impressive.”
Nian Nian gave him a disdainful look: “Little Colorful Xia is one of the main stars of the Cang Hong Pavilion. She’s super popular in the cultivation world and has topped the best fairy rankings multiple times.”
“However, in the past two years, she’s had some stiff competition from another rising star at Cang Hong Pavilion, who has been surpassing her.”
“Little Colorful Xia is naturally charming and knows how to tease and captivate men, but that new girl is snatching a solid market share with her pure and innocent allure. They are pretty much neck and neck now.”
“At this crucial moment, any resources they can gather, Little Colorful Xia and her manager will go to any lengths to secure.”
“Right now, discussing advertising promotions could lead to some major developments.”
Young Master Sang pondered for a moment, feeling optimistic.
“Great. Then it’s settled; you’re on it.”
“That also fulfills Master Crystal’s last wish.”
Of course, with the outline set, they still had to hammer out the details with Nian Nian.
After devising a flawless plan with Nian Nian, Young Master Sang confidently pulled out the communication device and dialed a number.

At this very moment, in Cang Hong Pavilion.
This was the biggest performance hall in Cang Hong Pavilion, usually packed with countless fairies and male deities fighting for slots to go live or shoot videos.
Currently, the entire performance hall was booked for the day, with makeup artists and musicians preparing furiously.
Only a few top-tier idols were qualified for such treatment at Cang Hong Pavilion.
Meanwhile, in the makeup room adjacent to the performance hall.
“Oi, my little ancestor, what time is it? Why aren’t you done with your makeup yet?”
A lean middle-aged man with a little goat beard was anxiously urging a stunning woman from behind.
“The live stream is about to start! If you’re late again, you might lose more fans!”
“Why the rush?”
The enchanting woman casually picked up a bright red lip gloss and applied it: “You know those silly fans are so easy to fool.”
“As long as I pretend to be unwell when the stream starts, they’ll immediately forget about the lateness, showering me with concern about my health in the comments.”
“You’re so self-centered!”
The goat-bearded man said, utterly frustrated: “Little D fragrant’s swift rise in fans is because she’s diligent and treats her audience like royalty.”
“If you keep being so arrogant, your fans will end up going next door!”
“Oh whatever, if they leave, they leave,” Little Colorful Xia suddenly snapped, “If they go, they go.”
“Anyway, I’ve got my loyal Master Crystal fans who’ll always listen to me. I’ll just act wronged and imply that Little D fragrant bullied me, then sneakily expose some private info about her to stir up buzz.”
“My fans will create chaos in Little D fragrant’s live stream.”
The goat-bearded man had no retort.
He had been Little Colorful Xia’s manager for years and knew her temper too well.
She was sharp and clever, or else she wouldn’t have reached such popularity.
But she was also proud, arrogant, and jealous, often acting without thought. He had to clean up so many of the messes she created.
Like the time she dated a male streamer and fans exposed it, causing her to lose a ton of followers.
They had to dramatically go public with their fallout to keep the hype alive.
But since Little D fragrant came along, the audience had stopped buying into such scandals.
They preferred Little D fragrant’s innocent and shy demeanor, fresh-faced without makeup.
Though she looked down on Little D fragrant, the goat-bearded man knew as her manager that if things continued this way, Little Colorful Xia would eventually be eliminated by her competition.
The only thing he could do now was to hook up as many business deals as possible to maintain her popularity.
“The time’s up, my little ancestor, it’s showtime.”
Little Colorful Xia shot him a disdainful glare, casually raising her flamboyant skirt and elegantly strode onto the stage.
“Still troubled by daily immersions in cultivation and getting mocked by your crushes for being outdated?”
“Bothered by being plain and not attracting any attention from the opposite sex?”
“Use this Fairy Skin Radiance Cream! Your crushes will be falling over themselves to get close to you! With throngs of admirers in no time, becoming the number one beauty in the cultivation world is just around the corner.”
“What are you waiting for? Order now, and you might win a signed piece of underwear!~”
“Oh, wait.” Little Colorful Xia struck a captivating pose, hands on her hips, chest proudly pushed out.
“Sensitive skin? No problem!~” She winked at the camera.
Under the stage, witnessing Little Colorful Xia smoothly doing her thing, the goat-bearded man breathed a sigh of relief.
But the worry on his face never faded.
“Ugh. It’s been ages since we’ve landed any business deals.”
“At this rate…” He shook his head, helpless.
Suddenly, his communication device rang. An unknown number.
The man puzzled, picked up and politely asked, “Hello?”
“Is this the Floating Splendor Commerce?” A strange voice came from the other end.
“We are the business hotline of Cang Hong Pavilion under Floating Splendor Commerce, may I ask who you are—”
“Stop with the formalities, I can’t understand that!”
The voice on the other end was bold and brash, sounding like a wealthy fool: “I just wanna ask, is this where the most extravagant ads in the cultivation world go?”
“Listen closely, it’s gotta be extravagant, a basic one won’t do; I don’t want others to think I’m broke.”
The man was stunned for a moment.
After a brief silence, he seemed to realize something, and politely asked:
“Our Cang Hong Pavilion has excellent advertising benefits and boasts the most prestigious ad placements in the cultivation world. With many popular fairy and deity streaming channels available for your ads, prices range from 10,000 to 100,000. What price point are you looking for—”
“Only 100,000?”
The other side sounded unimpressed, nonchalantly responding: “Then I want it all!”
The man felt a jolt in his heart.
“All, all? Are you sure? One top-tier streaming ad costs 100,000, that’s premium spirit stones.”
“What’s it to me? I’ve got money!”
The person on the phone declared with a swagger: “I just opened a spirit vein; I’ve got millions of spirit stones as pocket money. Don’t you worry about it!”
Upon hearing this, the man finally confirmed his theory.
He forcibly suppressed his ecstatic emotions, took a deep breath.
… Jackpot.
He hit the jackpot!
Sure enough, a clueless fool with sudden wealth had crashed right into him.
Who wouldn’t want a foolish, wealthy person like this!
Unexpectedly, he stumbled across one.
As long as he handled this well, he might become Little Colorful Xia’s big financial backer!
He couldn’t let this chance slip away!
