Chapter 564: Chapter 564: The ethereal spirit of your flesh, No. 5

Weight loss?!

Ariel Zimmerman’s eyes suddenly lit up.

As a modern female celebrity, who can resist the allure of those two words?

And it’s even a powerful tool?

Although the pursuit of youth and slimness online is a bit pathologically extreme, as an actress, who wouldn’t want to look better on camera?

Unable to resist for a moment, Ariel sat down next to number three, which was Pei Yuxin.

“Tell me more!”

…

Over there, Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander, who had just gotten food, immediately saw Ariel sitting next to another girl, their heads lowered as if whispering.

Noticing someone approaching, Pei Yuxin quickly sat up straight, striking an elegant pose suitable for public appearances by an artist.

Then, upon recognizing Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander, she immediately reverted to her original self, looking excitedly at the two,

“I, I recognize you guys! You’re Scarlett Jennings!”

Then she turned to Gregory, “You’re Silly Xander!”

Gregory Xander: …

Ariel quickly corrected her, “It’s Gregory Xander! Senior Brother Xander.”

A little embarrassed, Pei Yuxin corrected herself again, and to ease the atmosphere, Ariel invited them to sit down and gestured towards Pei Yuxin,

“Why don’t you show it to Scarlett too, she’s amazing and understands everything.”

Scarlett Jennings: …

Just about to say she mostly understood metaphysics, Pei Yuxin suddenly, a bit embarrassedly, took out a… delicate little perfume bottle.

Seeing the familiar but almost invisible trace of demon energy on the bottle, Scarlett swallowed the words she was about to say.

A bit of a coincidence.

She knew this thing.

“I stumbled upon this online, don’t just think it’s a perfume, it actually has slimming effects.”

Pei Yuxin liked to hunt for strange things online. She had several favorites that sold odd stuff, giant Bluetooth headsets, glowing chopsticks, pens that would spray water at you if you write slowly…

The more obscure and strange, the more curious she became.

So when she saw a shop claiming to have slimming perfume, she didn’t hesitate to place an order.

Originally, she didn’t expect much, and after treating it as regular perfume for two days, she found that her little belly seemed to have really shrunk a bit this morning.

That’s when Pei Yuxin started to believe in the so-called miraculous effect of this perfume.

“If it were food, I certainly wouldn’t use it rashly, but this thing is really just like perfume, and the scent is a very normal sweet fragrance…

Little Master Jennings, can you see if there’s anything wrong with it? How about I spray it a bit for you to smell?”

As Pei Yuxin spoke, she was about to spray the air in front of them.

Seeing this, Scarlett quickly shielded her buffet plate with her hand.

“Don’t.”

Knowing that it contained a bit of Braxton Weaver’s demon energy, she didn’t want her breakfast to be tainted.

Scarlett had previously taken some of Braxton Weaver’s items to study new talismans in seclusion, unaware of the progress Braxton Weaver and Chase Jennings made with the demon energy for slimming.

But she thought it would take at least a month to go on sale.

And now, just a few days?

“I know this thing, it’s fine, you can use it with confidence.”

Scarlett said, pausing for a moment before adding, “But be sure to follow the instructions and don’t smell it too much.”

Anything that passed the Security Bureau’s inspection standards would have the demon energy diluted enough not to harm the human body, but if absorbed too much in a day, the concentration could rise, and it might lead to symptoms similar to Chase Jennings’ earlier ones.

Seeing that Scarlett actually knew of this thing, Ariel was surprised.

Even Gregory, who hadn’t planned to join the conversation, couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Scarlett then pointed to the transparent label on the bottom of the perfume bottle in Pei Yuxin’s hand,

“This is the Security Bureau’s certification mark, indicating products that contain special ingredients but are safe to use.”

Upon hearing this, Gregory checked the perfume bottle in Pei Yuxin’s hand.

Just now, he hadn’t noticed anything special about the perfume bottle, but now, concentrating, he could barely perceive a trace of almost invisible demon energy within.

For a moment, Gregory’s expression was complex.

As a proper master, in principle, he opposed products containing demon energy entering the human market.

But the Security Bureau had supportive policies, and since the product was tested, his objections were pointless, so he simply kept quiet and didn’t join in the conversation.

Ariel thought he was just shy and didn’t think much of it. Hearing Scarlett say it was fine, she couldn’t help but pull out her phone,

“What is the name of that shop? And what’s this perfume called?”

Pei Yuxin replied,

“The shop is called Ear Uncle’s Fifth Store, and the perfume is named ‘Slimming Airy Five No. 5’.”

“Cough cough!”

Scarlett was suddenly choked by that startling product name.

Who came up with that ridiculous name?

…

Elsewhere, in Sea City.

In a rental apartment.

Lionel Strickland, looking at the first review posted on his online store, shouted with excitement,

“Chase Jennings! Chase, come quickly!! Someone praised me! She even gave me five stars! Can I take these stars?”

After shouting for a long time and not hearing a response from Chase, Lionel changed his tone and loudly yelled towards the door,

“Chase! Get over here now!”

In the living room, Chase Jennings, who had just laid down on the newly replaced sofa, shivered and quickly rushed into the room,

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

Entering, he saw the six-foot-tall man nearly lying on the monitor screen, and found it a bit exasperating.

Thinking of the days of being oppressed by this demon uncle, Chase couldn’t help but feel like going crazy.

Scarlett Jennings really found him a big headache!

Doesn’t understand anything!

And loves to give misguided directions!

He, the prestigious Jennings Family young master, being bossed around non-stop for several days by this demon uncle.

Yet, he couldn’t ignore it.

After all, he couldn’t outmatch this mystical creature.

It all started with product inspection.

As there were too many slimming products on the market, slimming pills, etc., no longer stirred consumer interest.

So he discussed with Lionel about using demon energy as a selling point.

Result! This guy actually took a plastic bag, breathed into it, and tied it up, telling him to take it to be tested by the Security Bureau.

Chase almost fainted and spent hours explaining the importance of product packaging.

Ultimately, he simply bought a whole production line for perfume, and Lionel’s role was to add his demon energy to it.

This was the simplest method Chase could think of.

Next came product naming.

Chase initially wanted to choose a sophisticated English name, as their target market was mainly women, and foreign-sounding perfumes appealed more to them.

But Lionel wouldn’t agree.

Claiming, he didn’t understand English.

Chase tried to argue, but Lionel wouldn’t listen.

And then, Chase was forced to concede.

“I said we should choose a name we understand, see, this customer even praised ‘Slimming’ as a nice name!”

Chase Jennings: …

He could swear by Lucas Jennings, the praised nice-sounding name definitely did not include those first three words!

Otherwise, let Lucas Jennings shave his head while standing upside down!
