Chapter 207: Flat Chest or Big Boobs?
That night, at the Sang Zhe family’s villa.
“…There must be a ghost.”
While eating rice, Yan Rouwan said, “The leader of the Floating Splendor Commerce is someone you rarely see in the cultivation world. How could they personally meet with you over a small incident?”
“I think it’s those two internet-famous fairies who can’t swallow their pride, wanting to call you over to give you a lesson.”
Sang Zhe took a bite of the dish, “How would they teach me?”
“Well… they might lock you up, beat you until you’re covered in bruises, and then take pictures to send us. They won’t release you until you pay them a hundred thousand!”
“…Senior Sister Yan has really integrated into the Demon Cultivation identity, huh? So skilled at this?”
But Yan Rouwan did have a point.
Sang Zhe couldn’t fathom why the leader of the Floating Splendor Commerce wanted to meet him.
If they wanted to see someone, it should be the Sect Leader.
Why meet with a nobody like him?
Though he did cause some small trouble for the Canghong Pavilion this time, the advertising fees from their live streams were merely a drop in the bucket compared to the grand amount of daily earnings of the Floating Splendor Commerce.
Surely, they wouldn’t be angry over such small change.
After thinking it over, Sang Zhe felt the possibility of it being a trap was greater.
“Senior Sister Yan is right,” Zhang Xiaoying said with slight worry, “Otherwise, you really shouldn’t go.”
“The leader of the Floating Splendor Commerce is too mysterious, their background unclear. With the Sect Leader and Sister Gu not around, it’s dangerous for you to go alone.”
“I actually feel like they don’t seem hostile,” Shi Qingyan said, blinking. “If they wanted to act against the Demon Cult, targeting Sang Zhe wouldn’t do any good.”
“As a commerce organization, they should have other means to discipline the Demon Cult.”
Sang Zhe thought the same.
He pondered, “I too feel I should attend this banquet. Even if it is a trap, I need to figure out their intent.”
“Of course, Sang Zhe, if you get hurt at the banquet, I’ll submit a work-related injury claim for you~”
“Thinking about work injuries before even going to the banquet! Also, speaking of which…”
Si Jingzhu suddenly eyed Tang Yubbing with suspicion, “Isn’t this family meeting supposed to be for us? Why are you cheekily here mooching food?”
“I’m just mooching a bit. No big deal.”
Tang Yubbing took a bite, enjoying the food while giving Sang Zhe a flirtatious glance.
“After all, Sang Zhe wouldn’t mind spending a little money on food.”
Sang Zhe chuckled awkwardly.
…Tang Yubbing was now the boss of the branch.
His superior.
Who would dare object when the boss wants food?
“But if Sang Zhe really wants to go, it’d be best to bring a bodyguard.”
Tang Yubbing’s expression turned more serious, “We have many enemies in the Demon Cult. In a situation where we don’t know the other party’s intentions, we must prepare for the worst.”
“Then I’ll have Aunt Yu go with me.”
Yu Xia, who was quietly eating, immediately nodded respectfully, “Yes, sir.”
Si Jingzhu cast a somewhat bitter glance at Yu Xia.
“Why bring her? Just because she has a higher cultivation than me, is more obedient, and her… chest is bigger?”
“…”
Everyone silently stared at her.
“…Then it’s fine.”
Seeing Si Jingzhu sulking as she poked her rice with chopsticks, Tang Yubbing suddenly teased, “Sister Jingzhu, are you very concerned about Yu Xia’s bigger chest?”
“What—”
Si Jingzhu’s pretty face turned red, her tone flustered, “No, no! Who would want to have a chest like that milk cow? It’d sag and look awful!”
Yu Xia couldn’t help but lower her head, feeling embarrassed and shy.
“Hey, don’t be shy.”
Tang Yubbing laughed, “If you really want to know how to be as curvy and alluring as us, I can share a secret with you~”
Si Jingzhu huffed and turned away.
However, her gaze couldn’t help but steal a glance at Tang Yubbing’s enticing chest, swallowing hard.
“Cough.”
Sang Zhe awkwardly cleared his throat, shaking his head, “We’re eating, let’s not discuss such inappropriate topics.”
“How can that be inappropriate? Don’t you want to know, Sang Zhe?”
“Want—uh, cough cough. Of course not.”
Seeing Zhang Xiaoying’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Sang Zhe quickly changed his tune, “This kind of thing is better for you girls to chat about privately. I’m just a big guy; I’ll stay out of it.”
Tang Yubbing covered her mouth, eyes sparkling with laughter.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoying and Yu Xia cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Sang Zhe was seriously going through all the information related to the Floating Splendor Commerce with Tang Yubbing, hoping to dig out some details about this mysterious leader.
However, the more he searched, the more bizarre it seemed.
“This leader of the Floating Splendor Commerce… it’s like they popped out of nowhere?”
Sang Zhe frowned, reading, “Their resume is unclear, their origins unknown, gender unspecified… it’s as if they sprang up from a rock.”
“Not only that.”
Tang Yubbing pondered, “Even the entire Floating Splendor Commerce seems to have appeared out of thin air.”
“There hasn’t been any mention of a commerce organization related to the Floating Splendor Commerce in any cultivation world texts from twenty years ago and before. No one has reached the scale of the Floating Splendor Commerce.”
“Nowadays, the cultivation world is largely dominated by the Floating Splendor Commerce, which virtually monopolizes all trade relations in the cultivation world.”
“Rumor has it that this mysterious commerce leader’s wealth can rival that of a Holy Land’s Ascended cultivator… that’s a bit exaggerated, right?”
Sang Zhe shook his head, “Not really exaggerated.”
“The Floating Splendor Commerce pretty much controls the entire resource trade in the cultivation world. An organization of such size isn’t something that can just be wiped out.”
“If it were destroyed, it would jeopardize the livelihoods of countless cultivators, and even be bad news for the Holy Land powers with Ascended cultivators.”
“In a sense… the leader of the Floating Splendor Commerce does hold a status akin to that of an Ascended cultivator.”
“Aren’t you nervous about facing such a person?” Tang Yubbing suddenly winked playfully at him.
“To say I’m not nervous… would be a lie.”
Sang Zhe shrugged nonchalantly, “But honestly, I’m probably more curious.”
After all.
Not only were they interested in him.
Sang Zhe also wanted to meet the one who could create communication devices, internet-famous live streams, web novels, and comics in the cultivation world.
Just who are they, really?
In the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoying turned to pull her gaze back to the dishes, softly saying:
“It seems, husband, your enthusiasm is quite strong.”
Beside her, Yu Xia seemed a little distracted, lost in thought.
“What’s wrong, Aunt Yu? Are you nervous too?”
“No…” Yu Xia suddenly looked slightly embarrassed, lowering her head, “Lady, um, is having a big chest really ugly?”
“B-but I’m not sagging, I’m quite perky…”
Zhang Xiaoying: “……”
