Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 33

“Welcome!”

“Sir, miss, what can I help you find today?” The salesgirl greeted them with a standard smile.

Mi Yue, her face flushed, remained silent and simply pulled Xing Chi straight to the underwear section.

“What is this thing?” Xing Chi pointed curiously at the triangle-shaped underwear hanging on the rack like an inquisitive child.

Mi Yue, too embarrassed to speak, stayed quiet. The salesgirl, assuming they were playing some kind of flirtatious game, silently observed from the side, acting as if she were invisible.

Under Xing Chi’s earnest gaze, Mi Yue had no choice but to pick up a nearby underwear package and hand it to him.

“Here, look for yourself.”

Xing Chi lowered his head in confusion to examine the square box in his hand. On it was printed an image of a completely naked ‘male’ completely bare from top to bottom, except for a small piece of fabric covering the crucial area around the waist.

Comparing the image to the clothes on the rack, he finally understood what it was and its purpose.

“Why do people here wear this thing?” Xing Chi asked softly.

Mi Yue glared at him indignantly. “Don’t you think it’s uncomfortable to have things swinging around? And it’s unhygienic!”

Xing Chi rubbed his chin. “It’s fine, I’m used to it. What’s hygiene?”

Mi Yue didn’t want to explain further, so she waved over the salesgirl standing a few steps away. “Get him a few pairs of comfortable underwear.”

“Of course, miss. What size does the gentleman wear?”

Mi Yue froze, how would she know?

“If you’re unsure, we can measure him now. That way, you can buy based on waist size in the future.”

Mi Yue nodded hastily. “Yeah, sure.”

Xing Chi had no idea what they were discussing. He simply stood there, studying Mi Yue’s crimson cheeks, finding them utterly adorable.

If not for the presence of others, he would have pulled his little female into his arms and kissed her right then and there. Just the thought made his heart burn with longing.

Meanwhile, the salesgirl had already returned with a measuring tape and reached out to wrap it around Xing Chi’s waist.

The next second, Xing Chi’s deep eyes narrowed slightly with coldness as he pushed the approaching salesgirl away.

She stumbled back, crashing into a shelf and falling to the ground.

Mi Yue’s heart sank at the sight. She quickly helped the girl up. “I’m so sorry! He doesn’t like people getting close to him. My apologies.”

The salesgirl’s face was pale, whether from anger or pain was unclear.

To make up for it, Mi Yue ended up buying fifty pairs of underwear on the spot and transferred an extra 3,000 yuan to the girl as compensation.

She measured Xing Chi’s size herself. Despite his muscular build, his broad shoulders and narrow waist meant he wore a size 2XL.

After paying, Mi Yue hurriedly dragged Xing Chi out of the store.

In her haste, she bumped into a man in a black suit. Just as she was about to stumble sideways, a pair of strong arms, faster than Xing Chi, caught her by the waist.

“Thank you…”

Mi Yue looked up to express her gratitude, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw who was holding her.

“Brother Xiangyang? What are you doing here?”

Li Xiangyang’s gold-rimmed glasses reflected a cold light, obscuring his expression. Only his restrained, icy voice could be heard. “I should be the one asking why the young miss is here.”

He paused, glancing up at the store’s sign. “And why you just walked out of this particular shop.”

“Pfft!” A laugh sounded nearby.

Mi Yue turned to see a woman with brown curly hair, wearing a seductive shade of lipstick and a mature makeup style, covering her mouth as she giggled.

“President Xiangyang, can’t you see? Miss Mi is buying clothes for her boyfriend.”

“Hello, Miss Mi, I’m Yuan Meng. My father is Yuan Huaqiang from Huamao Trading Company. We met at the Shen family banquet before.”

At Yuan Meng’s words, Mi Yue vaguely recalled her.

“So, you two are…?”

Yuan Meng smiled lightly, linking her arm with Li Xiangyang’s and blinking playfully. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m pursuing President Xiangyang.”

Li Xiangyang frowned slightly at her sudden intimate gesture, but out of politeness, and perhaps some hidden thoughts, he didn’t push her away.

Mi Yue suddenly understood, her face lighting up with gossipy excitement. “Oh! Then you two should hurry off on your date. We won’t disturb you any further.”

“Thank you, Miss Mi.”

Mi Yue then took Xing Chi to the men’s section to pick out a few well-fitting outfits before heading to the third-floor women’s section to buy some beautiful dresses. After all, for men, women’s desire to spend was stronger when they saw pretty things.

Back at the villa, Mi Yue changed into one of the new dresses and showed it off to Xing Chi.

“Do I look good?”

Xing Chi turned to look. The already lovely little female now looked even more radiant in the fiery red dress, her skin glowing like porcelain, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

“Y-yes, very good,” he murmured, his throat bobbing as he slowly stood up.

His large hand reached out to touch Mi Yue’s smooth shoulder, the coolness of his fingers making her shiver slightly.

“This dress looks truly stunning on you.”

Xing Chi swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry.

“Xing Chi, what’s wrong?” Mi Yue’s ears flushed pink, the color spreading to her cheeks.

“Nothing. I just think you’re too beautiful. It makes me want to claim you as my own little female,” Xing Chi murmured, his deep blue eyes dark with desire.

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, making Mi Yue gasp.

“Ah! What are you doing?” She turned her face away, her cheeks burning.

“Yue, I just want to look at you properly.”

Mi Yue lowered her head shyly, but before she could speak, a cool kiss landed on her cheek.

Then another, and another. Each kiss felt scorching, as if her skin might catch fire.

“Y-you… wait, Xing Chi…”

But Xing Chi was beyond listening. His arms tightened around her, holding her limp form firmly against him.

When his hands began to wander lower, Mi Yue’s hazy mind suddenly cleared.

“N-no! I’m not an adult yet!” She broke free from his embrace, stepping back to put distance between them.

Xing Chi’s gaze was still clouded, but he didn’t push further. The heat that had risen between them gradually faded.

Mi Yue packed all the purchased fruits and clothes into Xing Chi’s storage pouch.

Thankfully, the pouch helped disguise her system space, otherwise, it would’ve been tricky to explain how she carried so much.

Once everything was sorted, the two returned to the Beast World.

As soon as they arrived, Mi Yue dragged Xing Chi to the streets to scout for a good spot to set up a stall.

She laid out a waterproof tarp and neatly arranged the fruits she’d brought.

Since rarity drove value, she didn’t display too much at once.

With the goods ready, Mi Yue began calling out to attract customers.

“Don’t miss out when you pass by! Big sale on fruits! Eleven fruits for just one red crystal bead, twenty five-colored fruits for only two red crystal beads.”

Mi Yue’s voice was loud enough, and the price was truly enticing.

Other stalls offered only ten fruits for one red crystal bead, but Mi Yue gave one extra. Though it was just one more fruit, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of such a bargain?

Before Mi Yue could even finish her calls, her stall was quickly swarmed with customers.

“Your prices are cheaper than everyone else’s, could it be that your fruits are rotten?”

Though the men wanted a good deal, they were cautious about it.

Mi Yue’s low prices made them suspicious. They wondered if there was a trick, like hidden rotten fruits mixed in.

“Don’t worry, absolutely not. Here, I’ll cut a few for you to taste. Try them and see for yourselves, if they’re good, then buy.”

Mi Yue confidently sliced several fruits into small portions and handed them out for sampling.

Free fruit was always a delight for these men. After tasting, they found the flavor truly excellent and promptly bought out Mi Yue’s entire stock.

Holding ten red crystal beads in her hand, Mi Yue smiled with satisfaction. She hadn’t expected the fruits to sell so quickly, much faster than she’d imagined.

“Getting this happy over a few low-grade red crystal beads? The quality of the beads I get from hunting a single magical beast starts at blue at the very least.”
