Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 35

A few males who had come to buy fruit noticed the vibrant dresses and found them incredibly appealing, so they asked Mi Yue about the price.

“Little female, how much for these dresses?”

“One orange crystal bead per dress.”

As soon as Mi Yue quoted the price, the males gasped in shock. They had assumed that since the fruit was so cheap, the dresses wouldn’t be expensive either. But they never expected the price to be as high as one orange crystal bead.

To put it into perspective, one orange crystal bead was equivalent to a thousand red crystal beads. Such a steep price was beyond their means.

“One orange crystal bead? That’s way too expensive. We can’t afford that at all.”

“Yeah, forget it. Let’s just buy some fruit instead.”

With that, the males waved their hands dismissively, giving up on the beautiful dresses and leaving after purchasing only the fruit.

“Yue, isn’t the price of these dresses a bit too high? Very few people can afford something this expensive.”

After all, one orange crystal bead could cover half a year’s worth of food for a family of five.

Xing Chi also felt the price gap was too wide, the fruit was dirt cheap, while the dresses were exorbitantly priced. The contrast was jarring.

“No, there are definitely people who can afford it. My dresses are so beautiful, someone will buy them.”

Mi Yue wasn’t discouraged. Instead, she doubled her efforts, calling out to passersby and promoting her dresses.

Soon, two young females out shopping were drawn in. Their eyes immediately locked onto the dazzling colors at Mi Yue’s stall, and they hurried over.

“These clothes are so pretty!” one of them exclaimed.

“Right? I’ve never seen such beautiful dresses before. I want to buy one!” the other chimed in eagerly.

“Tell us how many crystal beads they cost. I must have one!”

“Quick, tell us! I can’t wait to try it on!”

Faced with such enthusiastic customers, Mi Yue knew her business opportunity had arrived.

“One orange crystal bead per dress.”

However, as soon as she stated the price, the two young females hesitated.

“One orange… crystal bead…”

“That’s so expensive…”

Seeing their hesitation, Mi Yue quickly launched into her sales pitch, not wanting to lose the deal.

“I’m sure you two have been walking around the market for a while now, right?”

“Have you seen anyone else selling dresses like mine? Look at the craftsmanship, the prints, the colors! This is a one-of-a-kind product.”

“Besides, I only have a few left. If you miss out this time, who knows when I’ll be back to sell more? Opportunities like this don’t come twice!”

Her persuasive words reignited the girls’ desire, though the price still made them wince.

“You can always earn more crystal beads, but once these dresses are sold, they’re gone for good.”

“You’re right. The Tiger City coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days, it’s one of the most important days of our lives. I want to be the most beautiful female there.”

“Same. We only get one coming-of-age ceremony in our lifetime. Fine, one orange crystal bead might be steep, but the ceremony is more important.”

Listening to their murmurs, Mi Yue could sense the deals were about to close.

“Indeed, the coming-of-age ceremony is such an important occasion. You must become the most beautiful females, ensuring everyone remembers you on this grand day.”

“Great, I want this red one.”

“I’ll take this one…”

Mi Yue happily accepted two orange crystal beads, cheerfully helping to take down the dresses and handing them to the two young females.

After the two young females left, other males and females came one after another to look at the dresses, though most were deterred by the price.

After all, the beauty of the dresses spoke for itself. Despite the high cost, they were all sold out by noon.

Of course, not a single piece of fruit remained either.

Mi Yue counted the crystal beads in her hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Though the earnings were modest, small streams could make a mighty river.

Xing Chi glanced at the beads in Mi Yue’s hand, thinking the amount was rather meager.

But seeing how happy she was, he chose not to say anything.

With everything sold, the two packed up their stall and headed home.

The two young females who had gotten new dresses couldn’t wait to rush home, change into them, and call their friends over to admire their new outfits.

The other young females were utterly dazzled by the beautiful dresses, their envy bubbling over as they clamored to buy some for themselves.

“We bought these from a stall on the street. There weren’t many dresses, just a few. I don’t know if they’re still available.”

“Stop talking and take us there now! Right now!”

The young females hurried to the street, but after walking from one end to the other, they couldn’t find the stall.

“Oh no, did they leave after selling out?”

Their faces fell in disappointment. They had loved the dresses so much, only to find them gone.

“I remember the scent of the female selling the dresses. The male with her was at the Blue Rank. There aren’t many Blue Rank warriors in Tiger City, we can track them down,” said the male companion of one of the young females wearing a new dress.

“Really? Then let’s go ask around now.”

The companions of the young females worked with astonishing efficiency and soon traced the leads to Bu Tai’s household. They all gathered outside Bu Tai’s stone house.

The two beast-servants guarding the door saw the sudden arrival of this group of males and young females, all at the Green Rank, and didn’t dare delay, immediately reporting to Bu Tai.

When Bu Tai and Ma Ya heard the news, their hearts swelled with joy.

“Quick, bring them in and treat them well,” Bu Tai ordered.

The beast-servants obeyed and went to attend to the young females and males.

Bu Tai and Ma Ya soon arrived, greeting everyone with cheerful smiles.

“What brings you all here today?” Bu Tai asked.

“We’re looking for that black-haired young female.”

Bu Tai froze for a moment, his smile dimming slightly before quickly brightening again.

“That young female does live here. May I ask why you’re looking for her?”

“Stop wasting time and just take us to her,” one of the wealthy young females snapped, tossing a red crystal bead at Bu Tai.

Ignoring her rudeness, Bu Tai smiled and said, “Please follow me. I’ll take you to her right away.”

Not daring to pry further, Bu Tai led them to Mi Yue’s dwelling.

A large group of young females and males followed Bu Tai to Mi Yue’s stone house, where she happened to be inside at the time.

“Lord Xing Chi?” Bu Tai called tentatively from the doorway.

“What is it?”

Xing Chi frowned as she opened the door, only to find a crowd of young females and males standing outside, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Mi Yue followed her out and, seeing the scene, asked in confusion, “What’s this?”

“Don’t you remember me?”

“We bought dresses from you this morning with an orange crystal bead. We’re here again to buy new dresses from you. Do you have any more? Hurry up and show us!”
