Chapter 119: The True Mastermind Behind the Xianlu Potion Shop

“Three ………………Three what?!”

The reporters present thought their ears were malfunctioning.

“Three yuan, the cost of one bottle of Berserk Potion in this shop.” I repeated once more, deliberately slowing my speech so they could hear clearly.

“Th… this can’t be possible!”

“That’s because Xianlu Magic Potion Shop launched a ‘trade waste for treasure’ event—you can exchange potions from other shops for the same type with double the effect…” I explained nonchalantly, “And one bottle of other shops’ potions, processed with less than three yuan worth of materials, can be converted into more than two bottles of our potions.”

“Wow—” The world erupted in shock.

Some pondered what kind of unfathomable technology this must be… but more were angry.

As expected of unscrupulous merchants!

“Excuse me, with such outrageous profits, doesn’t your conscience hurt? This profit is more than ten thousand times over!” a reporter asked passionately.

“Conscience hurt? Why would it? Other shops sell half our effect for 100,000 yuan; we only charge 50,000 yuan with twice the effect. Why would it hurt?” I retorted.

“But your cost is so low, how do you guarantee the safety of your potions? The internet says you’re using formulas that exhaust the body.”

“Exhaust the body? Bring them here to face me. Nowadays, just open any video online and there’s a crowd of so-called victims… Let them come offline and face me—I want to see how they got sick!”

The reporter laughed, as if my reaction played right into his hands.

Down below, Elder Mu and the other Mu Family members laughed as well.

“The victims are right outside the door. Do you think you can silence the masses? No victim dares to confront you face-to-face? Take a good look at those pitiful people poisoned by Xianlu Magic Potion Shop!”

They actually dared come?

“Bang—”

The doors to the press conference swung open.

Seven miserable-looking patients on stretchers, hooked up to IV drips, were carried in.

The moment they entered, they began wailing uncontrollably, evoking universal sympathy.

“Xianlu Magic Potion Shop, you’re so heartless—my poor spirit was poisoned to death by you! Even my constitution is ruined…”

“On my birthday, my mom bought me a Power Potion from Xianlu Magic Potion Shop as a gift, but after drinking it, my Spirit Pig had diarrhea nonstop. I went from 300 jin down to 100! My water bucket waist shrank to a water snake waist!”

“And my poor kitty, after drinking the Hair Growth Potion from Xianlu Magic Potion Shop, started losing fur… My beautiful Maine Coon turned into a Sphinx! My kitty, how could you suffer so badly—!”

Wow, looking at these people was like watching a grand exhibition of humanity’s lowest moments.

The surrounding reporters hurriedly turned their magnesium lights toward these “victims,” no doubt already drafting headlines in their minds.

[Heartless! Xianlu Magic Potion Shop Admits to Low Costs, Victims Left Unbearably Suffering!]

If someone else were standing here instead of me, they’d be at a loss for words, pitifully cornered.

Eventually, they might choose to quietly close the shop to settle the matter and swallow this bitter pill.

After all, the public only sees what they want to see. When they see these pitiful photos, their emotions flare, and they rally behind the so-called “victims,” firmly placing themselves in the Justice Camp, attacking all opponents.

No one cares about the truth.

Fortunately…

I’ve been stubborn since childhood.

If I did it, I did it; if I didn’t, you can’t slander me.

I won’t swallow this bitter pill!

“Heh, you’ve come to blackmail the wrong person this time.”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I reached up to my mask.

Slowly, I pulled off the mask and took off the hood that concealed my ears.

“??? That fortune-telling master, Gaokao full marks, future Nobel Prize Grand Slam… Loli Little Fox Immortal???”

“Oh my god… what’s going on? The secret boss behind Xianlu Magic Potion Shop is the legendary Loli Little Fox Immortal???”

The room was stunned.

Ignoring the cameras shoved up close to my face, I strode directly to the so-called victims.

I stared into the eyes of those on the stretchers.

“You… what are you doing?” one victim panicked. Those eyes were too clear, as if seeing into his darkest corners, leaving him flustered.

He had heard of the famous Loli Little Fox Immortal, so he knew what I was doing.

Face reading.

But not ordinary face reading.

“You’re Luo Sheng, your bank card number is 621xxxxxxxxxxxxx699, password 996007.”

“???”

Huh???

Luo Sheng was stunned dumbfounded.

Face reading can reveal bank card numbers and passwords???

I publicly opened my mobile banking app, input the info I just read, and tapped login.

It required a verification code.

Luo Sheng quickly covered his phone, refusing to show me, but it was fine—I could just look at his face.

“The code is 304061.”

I tapped login.

Selected transaction records.

Soon, I found a large transfer made yesterday.

“Yesterday you received 1 million yuan from this Mu*zhou. Care to explain why an unemployed person like you would suddenly get transferred a million?”

Luo Sheng’s face instantly turned pale. Stammering, he said, “That’s… that’s my lottery money!”

“Oh?”

Luo Sheng knew this lie was implausible. Suddenly jumping up in anger, he shouted, “You’re invading my privacy! Publicly revealing my bank info and password—I’m going to sue you! You’ll go to jail, you unscrupulous black merchant!”

“Oh, you’re pretty lively. Then why the stretcher?” I smiled at him.

Luo Sheng’s face changed again. Hastily, he lay back down, wailing in pain: “Ouch, ouch, I can’t take it, send me to the hospital quickly.”

I ignored him and walked to the second person.

“Your card number is 644…”

I repeated the same, pulling up this person’s bank transactions.

Projected their suspicious large transfers onto the big screen for all to see:

“You also won the lottery?”

“I… um…” The man stammered, covering his face from the cameras, begging, “Please don’t film me, I don’t know anything…”

Then the third, the fourth…

They struggled to cover their faces, unwilling to show me.

But even hiding their faces was useless; High-Level Qi-Viewing Technique doesn’t need to see features.

“Oh, I see, you all won the lottery.”

I looked enlightened. “You all bought the same numbers.”

These actors heavily hired by the Mu Family now looked ashamed, utterly humiliated, wishing they could flush themselves down a toilet.

“That doesn’t prove anything!” Those Mu Family reporters panicked, trying to shift the focus, “Maybe these people are your own hired actors! It’s all your own staged drama!”

“……….” Bro, weren’t these people you confidently brought in just now?

Fine, fine, still don’t believe me?

You want me to open my stomach and show you?

Alright, I’ll open it up and show you!

Make you accept it wholeheartedly!
