Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 120 - 119: Su Yuan: I Persuaded Chen Nuoyi Overnight!
With the backing of Taibai Phecda, Su Yuan’s biggest scandal of luring minors to spend disappeared without a trace.
Chen Xian calmed himself a bit, thought for a moment, and then dialed a number.
This number was the contact of the owner of a Water Army shop.
The call was quickly answered, and a voice, slightly electronic but unmistakably similar to that of the owner, came through.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
Chen Xian: "Are you directing the Water Army? Did you see Su Yuan invited Taibai Phecda as backup?"
The owner helplessly replied:
"I saw it, but who could have predicted that the ’Hongru Witch’ was the daughter of Master Taibai?"
"If I may speak bluntly, you made a mistake on this one. If you had informed me earlier about Su Yuan’s relationship with Master Taibai, I wouldn’t have charged the same fees or shifted the focus onto Master Taibai’s daughter."
Chen Xian keenly noticed a change in the owner’s attitude towards him.
Getting bold after receiving the final payment, huh?
But he had to admit, the other party had a point.
Chen Xian suppressed his displeasure and said coldly:
"I don’t want excuses, just tell me how much more money you need to suppress Su Yuan’s popularity!"
The voice on the other end became courteous immediately:
"You’re too kind, boss. However, my Water Army has already completed their quota of ten comments per person..."
"If you add another 200,000, I can use Su Yuan’s other scandals for a fierce attack. Even a Golden Core Great Cultivator can’t shield a little demon brat selling dangerous goods."
Chen Xian grunted in satisfaction and immediately transferred 200,000.
"Ding dong, you’ve received a payment of 200,000!"
A weak payment notification sound came from Chen Xian’s phone.
However, he didn’t discern whether the sound came from the other end of the call or the livestream chat, so he didn’t think much of it.
At Taibai Phecda’s residence, feeling the slight vibration of his phone and receiving the main soul’s report from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, the "shop owner" who just spoke with Chen Xian was Su Yuan No. 1 from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
You never know if you’re conversing with a human or a ghost on the other end of the line!
As expected, this fat sheep Chen Xian couldn’t sit still and started to spend more money to slander him.
But Su Yuan was already fully prepared; however much Chen Xian spends tonight, he’ll make him lose just as much!
Su Yuan secretly activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the Water Army that had been slightly dormant suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, overwhelming the barrage caused by Taibai Phecda’s appearance with ’wow’ comments.
And the rhetoric of this Water Army counteroffensive was almost unanimous!
"Even Master Taibai can’t support a bad streamer using Demon Dao means for profit!" "This cooking method that seals the ingredient’s soul is too vicious!" "We strongly demand a permanent ban on all ingredients made using Demon Dao methods!"
The underlying meaning of these words was straightforward.
It’s fine if you become popular, but you can’t make money by endorsing products anymore!
For such "reasonable" demands, many real viewers chose to agree.
The rhythm set by the owner pleased Chen Xian the investor greatly.
Let’s see what this little demon Su Yuan would do!
Then, he saw Su Yuan calmly speaking to the livestream audience:
"Regarding the use of Demon Dao methods in cooking roasted goose and similar ingredients, the streamer has deeply reflected."
"Family, you are right. In this civilized age of cultivation, Demon Dao should disappear, and even cooking must be done righteously." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Actually, the streamer began exploring reformation of products long ago."
"No time like the present, today the streamer will showcase the research results, make a fresh start, and completely reform the method of roasting all meats!"
With that, Su Yuan clapped his hands, and off-camera Yin Qiyue pushed a cart into the frame.
The cart carried a large, high-end covered tray.
"This is a new recipe of roasted goose the streamer developed after countless attempts! While preserving the original taste identical to the old one, the method completely abandons Demon Dao elements!"
As the words fell, Su Yuan lifted the cover!
In the next moment, a golden light shot up, bathing the entire frame in golden light!
Chen Xian and the audience in the livestream: "???"
"Please note, this is not an effect!"
Once the golden light faded, Su Yuan nonchalantly spoke again.
But the viewers in the livestream were already fixated not on Su Yuan, but the object on the tray.
It was a whole roasted goose, its glossy ruby-red skin seemingly twinkled like starlight, looking like an exquisite work of art.
Moreover, the goose exhibited an unprecedented divine serenity, as if it was still enraptured in a dreamy slumber.
Accompanied by a finger snap from Su Yuan, the goose wobbled to its feet.
To the audience’s astonishment, this goose’s movements didn’t bring the eerie feeling of the previous Walking Corpse Goose, but instead exuded a fairy-tale healing aura.
Just like the roasted goose that waddled towards the little match girl in her dreams.
So warm, so appetizing.
Judging by appearance alone, this goose could never have been refined by Demon Dao methods but was a treasure-level Righteous Dao creation!
Then, Su Yuan began narrating a compelling story in front of the camera.
First, he recounted how he replaced cheap spices with precious ones to improve the roasted goose.
He also said how many attempts and failures he endured in the kitchen to restore the original taste of the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose.
As for minimizing the suffering of ingredients, he adopted an advanced, fully self-developed surgical-grade painless slaughter method to achieve full righteousness.
The summary in one phrase—craftsmanship!
Once the ambiance was set, Su Yuan took a deep breath and said gravely:
"To be honest, the advantages of Demon Dao methods over my painstakingly self-developed culinary arts were significant."
"Its advantages lie in the very low production cost. A roasted goose of the same flavor, when fully righteously transformed, costs nearly thirty percent more than during the Demon Dao era."
"So how should this increased cost be resolved? Both Chen and Yin suggested appropriately raising the unit price."
"But I must ask, why must the extra cost from changing production methods be split among every consumer? Should consumers just pay more willingly?"
"To solve this problem, I tossed and turned sleeplessly last night, ultimately convincing Chen and Yin before the livestream began to make a bold decision."
At this point, Su Yuan deliberately paused before declaring resolutely:
"All products in my livestream will keep prices unchanged while achieving complete righteousness!"
Simultaneously, product links popped up in the livestream, along with a product display page brimming with Righteous Disguise effects.
Without Su Yuan needing to say more, every item in the livestream sold out in a second!
The nearly persuaded Chen Xian: "???"
He felt like he’d seen a ghost!
The Water Army had just used Su Yuan’s Demon Dao methods as a scandal point to attack, yet this little demon achieved a completely righteous transformation of the food production process the very next day?
This must be cheating!
However, all eyes were on Su Yuan, and the audience didn’t notice Taibai Phecda’s barely holding expression in the background.
Because Taibai Phecda knew full well the truth behind this so-called "complete righteousness" roasted goose.
Complete righteousness, my foot!
The only thing Su Yuan did was dressing the Corpse Burning Goose with a Righteous Disguise.
Just like disguising the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as a futuristic holographic projection banner.
That’s all there is to it!
