Miaoyu's eyes narrowed, but they quickly opened again.
She was no longer embarrassed, no longer hesitant, no longer submissive.
She no longer looked like a little mouse that was toyed with by a cat.
She smiled. Her smile was natural, charming, and soul-stirring.
"Your Highness, you might be thinking too much. That's the name given by the owner. Perhaps it doesn't mean anything."
This answer did not expose her completely, but it also did not sound stiff. She even used the name of the owner of the Three Fragrances Inn to make it impossible for others to verify.
This was the first time Huang Jinmo smiled since they met.
She leaned back, still high and mighty, but not as overbearing as before. "The Three Fragrances Inn has seven Heavenly Fragrances and eleven Heart Fragrances. What Fragrances Inn are you in? What's your rank? "
Since she had already shown her attitude, Miaoyu did not dress herself up as a delicate little girl anymore.
She even found a seat and sat opposite Huang Jinmo. She smiled sweetly. "Mei Yue has just joined the Three Fragrances Inn. She is not qualified to enter the Heavenly Fragrances or Heart Fragrances. However, Mei Yue came to Buredeeming City for an important matter. If Your Highness can succeed, Mei Yue might be able to squeeze into the Heavenly Fragrances. "
"Since the Three Fragrances Inn does not value you, why don't you stay in Buredeeming City? I will give you a commander on the same level as Kui Shan. How about it?"
Kui Shan was the current commander of the sinful guards. He was a martial artist with terrifying strength. In the entire Buredeeming City, his position was only below the sinful king.
Miaoyu's eyes were flirtatious. "I am indebted to Your Highness. Unfortunately, Mei Yue has already promised the Three Fragrances Inn. Otherwise, I would not have been able to refuse."
She said that she could not refuse, but she refused very straightforwardly.
Huang Jinmo said lightly, "The Three Fragrances Inn seems to be a big business with branches all over the five regions. However, it started in the Chu territory and is now based in the Southern Region. It is too entangled with the Chu Ting. Sooner or later, it will be swallowed! "
Miaoyu smiled sweetly. "I heard that the Yong, Zhuang, and Luo Kingdoms were in a heated discussion. Miaoyu felt that the world was so big. Regardless of whether it was the East or the South, it was hard to stop the war. ... and the Western Region.... It's better to set up more small temples, lest the incense is broken. "
What he meant was that the structure of the Three Fragrant Inn was able to last for a long time. At the same time, he pointed out that in the so-called Four-Party Talks, Bu Ransom City was just a spectator. The true leaders were Yong, Zhuang, and Luo. You can't even refuse the three countries' talks in Buyao City. The only reason why Redeemed City could maintain its current peace was because the three countries were afraid of taking action against the rat for fear of breaking the vases. No one could truly let loose.
Based on the difference in strength and status between them, these words were considered overstepping their boundaries. However, Huang Jinmo was not angry. Instead, he looked at her with interest, "Other than the method of Three Fragrances Restaurant, what else can you teach me about Mei Yue?"
She also called her "Mei Yue" instead of Miaoyu. Obviously, she had recognized Miaoyu's new identity. He also asked her about the way to establish herself in the Unredeemed City.
A character like Huang Jinmo naturally had his own plans. Rather than calling it a question, it was more like a test.
Miaoyu did not flinch at all.
She was not a soft and weak little woman, but a cruel and merciless evil witch. Previously, she was restrained in every way because she wanted to be humble and please Huang Jinmo. Since Huang Jinmo did not buy it, what she had to do now was to show her ability and value.
She smiled calmly and spoke with assurance. "The methods in the world are nothing more than to strengthen oneself internally and form a strong external support."
"Let's not talk about internal strength. You have your own ideas. Speaking of external support, you also have to avoid entering the tiger's den. You have to choose carefully. If you want to contact Qiang Qin, you might as well surrender directly. His Highness also said that the Three Fragrant Inn is a big business, but the foundation is not stable. We need a strong person like His Highness to be our support. If both sides cooperate, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "
Huang Jinmo gently raised his eyebrows, "How do you think we should cooperate?"
Miaoyu got up and bowed, "Mei Yue is here to build a branch in Buyao City."
Huang Jinmo asked knowingly, "Buyao City welcomes anyone. You don't have to go through me to do business. "
Miaoyu smiled brightly, "It's not an ordinary Three Fragrant Inn, but a Fragrant Inn with a real strong cultivator. I want to build a core that controls all the branches in the Western Region."
The reason why the Three Fragrant Inn could build branches all over the world was not because it had the strength to suppress the world, but because almost all of its branches were just pure brothels. They only did business and did not involve transcendents. At most, some of the branches had one or two transcendents overseeing them. It was impossible to form a transcendental force that could really affect the local power structure.
Most countries had no reason to refuse the Three Fragrant Inn's entry. After all, every Three Fragrant Inn would bring a large amount of tax money to the local area. Moreover, the Three Fragrant Inn that lacked the strength to protect itself could be swallowed by the local rulers at any time.
Miaoyu's move was to link up the Three Fragrant Inn's branches in the Western Region in one fell swoop, increasing the potential influence. And it was not difficult to see that after this move was made, Miaoyu's ultimate goal was to unify them into a real force that had the right to speak in the local area. Just imagine, the Three Fragrant Inn that had branches all over the world would become an enormous power once it was truly unified.
This kind of ambition, boldness, and structure was astonishing.
From this point of view, there was indeed no place more suitable than Unredeemed City in the Western Region.
The Three Fragrant Inn wanted to unify all its branches and transform from a pure business into a power operation. The first resistance would come from the local authorities.
Would the powerful Qin allow the Three Fragrant Inn to move in? Naturally, they would. The Qin State would be able to take in as many transcendents as the Three Fragrant Inn had. It was no different from a sheep entering a tiger's den.
Only Unredeemed City had no way to extend itself and didn't need to worry about being swallowed up. Moreover, it was located in the neutral lands and didn't face too much political risk. Moreover, Unredeemed City could also use the Three Fragrant Inn's channels to break through the three nations' blockade … this was a true win-win situation.
No wonder Miaoyu dared to come knocking and request an audience. No wonder she was so confident!
Not only did she have far-reaching plans for the Three Fragrant Inn, but she also saw through Unredeemed City's predicament.
Huang Jinmo didn't comment and only asked, "This idea was made by your Inn Lord. Or was it your idea? "
"Mei Yue has become somewhat bold in order to enter the Heavenly and Heart Fragrant Inn." Miaoyu laughed. "Fortunately, the Inn Lord trusted me and allowed me to give it a try."
Huang Jinmo muttered to himself for a moment before offering a new condition. "Whether it's the Heavenly or Heart Fragrant Inn, you're still living under someone else's roof. If you join me, I'll promise you the future of Unredeemed City. Your Bewitching Mind Art is easy to release but difficult to withdraw. I might be able to help you. "
Miaoyu laughed. "To Unredeemed City, cooperation with the Three Fragrant Inn is much more important than Mei Yue."
This was a rejection.
But what she said was also reasonable.
No matter how outstanding Miaoyu was, she couldn't help Unredeemed City open up without the backing of the Three Fragrant Inn.
Hence, Huang Jinmo's correct choice was to take the Three Fragrant Inn and abandon Miaoyu.
As for Miaoyu herself …
The fact that the branch didn't involve transcendents was the fundamental reason why the Three Fragrant Inn was able to expand so quickly without any resistance. But until now, it had severely shackled the further expansion of the Three Fragrant Inn. The more it expanded, the less its ability to protect itself. Even Huang Jinmo, who was locked up in the prison tower, could smell the danger of the Three Fragrant Fragrance Restaurant.
The Three Fragrant Inn needed to change. And Miaoyu was at the right time.
She might fail, and if she failed, she would be smashed to pieces. But if she succeeded, her right to speak in the Three Fragrant Inn would be above the Heavenly and Heart Fragrant Inn, only below the mysterious Inn Lord of the Three Fragrant Inn.
Choosing to join Huang Jinmo was, of course, safer for now. But only the Three Fragrant Inn could complete Miaoyu's future arrangements.
Or in other words, only by holding the Three Fragrant Inn could she have the confidence to fight against the Lifeless Sect created by Zhang Linchuan in the future. Sinner Lord Huang Jinmo was strong, but now it seemed that the potential of Unredeemed City was far less than that of the Lifeless Sect.
And because of the Dao Fruit. Zhang Linchuan would never let her go.
She knew from the beginning that she could hide for a while, but not forever.
So she would face it.
Just like the little girl who was among the Direbeasts in the beginning.
She chose to wipe her tears and pick up the dagger.
