After Pampering Her 5 Beast Husbands, the Villainess Struck It Rich

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Wagging the Tail in Delight

’Pure, innocent, weak, and helpless!’

Unlike Lang Qiu’s mature and steady demeanor, Yue Junxiao was the type who tried hard to act like a grown-up, but his lively ears couldn’t hide his boyish cuteness and charm.

’Ahhh!!’

’She was totally into his type, too!!’

Seeing the sparkling look in Bai Zhi’s eyes, Yue Junxiao actually felt a shiver of fear. It made him instinctively take a small step back, watching her warily.

Yue Junxiao’s crimson eyes were wary as he asked, "Wh-what are you trying to do now? I-I’m telling you, you swore an oath to the Beast God! If you dare bully me, you’ll be punished by the Beast God!"

He was so scared that he even stuttered a little, his voice lacking its usual volume. The sound of it instantly shattered his bluff.

In an instant, their roles had completely reversed. Now, it was Yue Junxiao who was afraid of Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi sensed his wariness and tried her best not to look like the Big Bad Wolf. With a serious expression, she said, "Don’t be afraid. I’m just going to soothe your spiritual power."

After speaking, Bai Zhi released her spiritual power.

Bai Zhi was his female master, so his spiritual power was easily captured by hers.

When Bai Zhi pounced, the tips of Yue Junxiao’s ears turned red, and his gaze darted away evasively.

Although he had a bit of a temper, he was completely inexperienced in this regard. This was the first time he had ever been so close to Bai Zhi.

Even though he was her Beast Husband, the original owner’s cruel and violent nature meant that for the past few years, she either abused them or forced them to go out and earn Star Coins for her.

Forget about soothing them; it was a blessing she didn’t abuse them!

This was the first time Yue Junxiao had ever seen such a gentle Bai Zhi, and his heart was filled with apprehension.

Compared to the novice Yue Junxiao, Bai Zhi, who now had experience, seemed exceptionally ’skilled’.

In the next moment, Yue Junxiao’s eyes widened in astonishment. A wave of pleasure shot through him all the way to his tail, causing it to wag happily in the air. Anyone could see how good he was feeling.

Having the experience from last time, Bai Zhi was both fast and efficient.

Just then, however, Bai Zhi suddenly heard the system issue a quest.

[Super Quest Triggered: Please spend 100,000,000.00 Star Coins for five Beast Husbands within twenty-four hours.]

[Quest Reward: Comfort Upgrade Pill (Physical Contact Type).]

Bai Zhi’s movements froze. She was stunned when she saw the long string of zeros on the quest panel.

’One hundred million!!’

’What is a Comfort Upgrade Pill?’

’It’s actually worth one hundred million!!’

Previously, her quests had basically given one-to-one rewards, or the rewards had even been worth more than the money she spent.

This was the first time the reward was just some Comfort Upgrade Pill. The key thing was, this was a hundred million Star Coins!!

’A single Comfort Upgrade Pill is worth a hundred million?’

Bai Zhi couldn’t help but ask the system, "What exactly is this Comfort Upgrade Pill?"

System: [It’s exactly as the name implies. Comfort, upgrade. As long as they physically... merge... with the host, their spiritual power will be upgraded.]

Bai Zhi: "!!!"

Bai Zhi asked in shock, "You mean, as long as they ’do it’ with me, they can upgrade?!"

System: [That is correct.]

Bai Zhi: "!!!"

’Something this good actually exists!!’

This meant that as long as she... did that... with them, their spiritual power would get higher and higher. Her own safety would be even more secure!

This wasn’t just a huge benefit for her; it was an incredible blessing for them, too!!

’Upgrading just by doing it? Could anything be better?!’

No wonder a single Comfort Upgrade Pill cost one hundred million Star Coins!

If anyone else found out about this, forget one hundred million Star Coins—people would be fighting to buy it even for a billion!!

Yue Junxiao, unhappy with her distraction, pulled her back to reality.

...

The night passed. To Bai Zhi’s surprise, after last night, Yue Junxiao seemed to have developed some other feelings for her. Unlike before, when he would scowl at the sight of her and speak like he’d swallowed a firecracker, today he seemed a little... clingy?

He followed her wherever she went and insisted on sitting right next to her at meals. Although his expression looked a little awkward, his body was very honest.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi was pondering where to spend such a large sum of money. A hundred million Star Coins wasn’t like a few million that could be spent casually.

By now, ten hours had already passed.

Just then, Xing Fan, the friend she had added on the Star Network yesterday, suddenly sent her a message.

Xing Fan: [There’s an auction today. I heard they have an SS-level Spiritual Beast’s Crystal Core, as well as High-level Weapons and high-quality Purification Pills. Most importantly, they’ve discovered a new crystal mine on another planet, and this is the first time this Crystal Stone will be shown. They say it’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Want to go check it out?]

Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up when she saw the message. She had just been wondering whether to buy a house or a shop, but now, the decision was made for her!

Bai Zhi: [I’m in!!]

Bai Zhi: [Where is it? What time? How are you guys getting there?]

Xing Fan: [[Location]]

Xing Fan: [2 PM. I’ll have them send you an invitation. You can’t get into this auction house without one.]

Bai Zhi: [Does your family own this auction house?]

Xing Fan: [No, but my father is friends with the owner. Getting an extra invitation isn’t a problem.]

Bai Zhi: [Okay, thanks.]

Xing Fan: [Don’t mention it. See you this afternoon.]

Bai Zhi: [See you this afternoon.]

Not long after, Bai Zhi received an invitation from the Xing Lang Auction House.

Bai Zhi looked it up on the Star Network. This was the largest auction house on Blue Star. It was said to have come from the Main Star and had a powerful background. The items they auctioned were all top-tier.

Since it wasn’t convenient for Lang Qiu and Yue Junxiao to go out right now, and the auction only allowed attendees to bring one guest, Hu Yan was the one to accompany her that afternoon.

That afternoon, Bai Zhi and Hu Yan arrived at the auction house.

Unexpectedly, Xing Fan was already waiting outside, dressed to the nines.

Bai Zhi and Hu Yan walked over. She smiled and said, "I thought I was early, but you got here even earlier. Why didn’t you go in?"

She then introduced Hu Yan to Xing Fan. "This is one of my Beast Husbands, Hu Yan."

Then, to Hu Yan, she said, "This is Xing Fan, the female who helped me out yesterday."

Hu Yan nodded at Xing Fan by way of greeting.

Xing Fan just smiled back before saying to Bai Zhi, "I was worried you might not know the place since it’s your first time, so I waited here for a bit. I’m staying nearby these days, so it’s just a short walk for me. Xiao Yu is trying to avoid someone, so she’s staying a bit far away and is still on her way. She’ll be here soon. Let’s go in first."

Bai Zhi didn’t ask who she was hiding from, simply saying, "Shouldn’t we wait for her?"

Xing Fan shook her head. "No need. This auction house belongs to Xiao Yu’s uncle. She knows this place like the back of her hand. She’s the one who arranged our seats, too, putting us all together."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi said no more and followed Xing Fan inside.

They had just reached the entrance and were about to go in when a voice came from behind them, "You’d better watch carefully. Some people don’t have invitations. Don’t just let any riff-raff in!"
