Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 36

Mi Yue noticed the young female who had spoken and recognized the dress she was wearing as one of the ones she had sold on the street that morning. Instantly, she understood what was going on.

“So that’s how it is! Come in, come in. I’ll bring out some new dresses for you to choose from right away.”

Mi Yue was delighted and hurried to fetch the dresses from her storage pouch.

She hadn’t expected to attract repeat customers, it seemed sticking to the price of one orange crystal pearl had been the right decision.

Mi Yue pulled out several dresses at once, each one different but all equally vibrant, exactly the colors and styles these young females adored.

As soon as the dresses were displayed, the girls gasped in amazement.

“These dresses are absolutely stunning! Do they really only cost one orange crystal pearl? Quick, I want two!”

“Me too! Save one for me!”

“I want one as well, I’ll wear it for my coming-of-age ceremony!”

…

The young females clamored to buy, creating quite a commotion.

The noise even reached Ge Lia, who overheard the servants discussing the scene.

The servants had never witnessed such a spectacle, so many young blue-tier females rushing to Mi Yue’s place to buy dresses. The sight was truly impressive.

So many young blue-tier females?

Perhaps she could go and make some new friends.

Ge Lia hurried to Mi Yue’s stone house and, sure enough, found a crowd of young females gathered there.

They kept exclaiming in awe, repeating phrases like “So beautiful!” and “I want one too!”

“What’s going on here? Why is it so lively?” Ge Lia muttered to herself as she stepped inside.

Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the brightly colored dresses in Mi Yue’s hands.

Good heavens. These dresses were gorgeous!

No wonder so many young females were raving about them.

“You actually have so many beautiful dresses here!”

“How much game do I need to trade for one?”

Ge Lia’s gaze locked onto a green dress, it would look absolutely stunning on her. She had to have it.

Mi Yue turned and saw Ge Lia approaching, asking about the price of the dresses. Smiling, she replied, “This dress costs one orange crystal pearl. All the dresses here are the same price, one pearl per dress.”

The price made Ge Lia suck in a sharp breath.

She had guessed the dresses wouldn’t be cheap, but she hadn’t expected them to be this expensive, a whole orange crystal pearl!

Wait… Had that black-haired little female just spoken?

So, she could talk after all.

Ge Lia had assumed Mi Yue was mute since she never spoke, but it turned out she was quite articulate.

The other young females surrounding Mi Yue burst into laughter. When Ge Lia glanced their way, they quickly averted their gazes, clearly mocking her.

“Look at her face! She actually thought she could afford this dress. The moment she heard the price, her expression was priceless!”

“Yeah, yeah. If you can’t afford it, don’t even bother. There aren’t enough dresses here for all of us as it is.”

“The moment she heard ‘orange crystal bead,’ she was so shocked, probably can’t even produce a single one. She won’t be able to compete with us.”

Ge Lia: “…”

Ge Lia’s face flushed instantly. An orange crystal bead was indeed far too expensive for her, and she truly couldn’t bring herself to spend one on a dress.

The laughter continued, growing even more mocking. Ge Lia couldn’t take it anymore; her face burned with embarrassment, and she turned and ran out the door.

Seeing Ge Lia in such distress, Ma Ya quickly chased after her.

Meanwhile, two young females bought the dresses from Mi Yue and happily held them up against themselves.

“I’ll wear this for the coming-of-age ceremony in Tiger City in a few days.”

“Me too. I came specifically to buy this for the ceremony. I was tired of my old clothes anyway, so this new one is perfect.”

“Alright, since you two have already gotten your dresses, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

The young females, satisfied with their beautiful new dresses, prepared to leave.

“Very well, in that case, let me see you out.”

Bu Tai, wearing a smile, personally escorted the group out.

After seeing them off, Bu Tai hurried back to find Ma Ya.

“Huh? You’re back already? Did they leave?”

Ma Ya asked as Bu Tai approached her.

“Yes, and listen, those dresses are incredible. She sold two of them for a full two orange crystal beads.”

At this, Ma Ya was stunned. “Such a high price, and someone actually bought them?”

She could hardly believe it. After all, a single orange crystal bead was enough to cover their food for half a year. Who would trade half a year’s worth of provisions for a dress?

And earning back even one orange crystal bead was no easy feat. Yet Mi Yue had made it seem effortless.

“If we could sell dresses like these, we’d make a fortune.”

“Go talk to Ge Lia. Have her get closer to that black-haired girl and build a good relationship. We need to find out where she gets those dresses.”

“With dresses like these, we could earn plenty of orange crystal beads too.”

Bu Tai’s eyes gleamed with excitement, it was simply too tempting.

Ma Ya agreed eagerly and immediately went to discuss it with Ge Lia.

At that moment, Ge Lia’s eyes were red and brimming with tears.

“Mother, I don’t want to befriend her. I lost so much face in front of her, I refuse!” Ge Lia protested.

Ma Ya patiently coaxed her, speaking softly to comfort her.

“But you lost face because of those dresses. If you find out where they come from, you could have beautiful dresses too, right?”

“And think about it, Lord Xing Chi spends all his time with that black-haired girl. If you get closer to her, you’ll have more chances to be with Lord Xing Chi too.”

Ge Lia considered this and found it reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Mi Yue arrived at Xiu Ka’s stone house and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” a deep male voice called from inside, and Mi Yue pushed the door open.

Recognizing Mi Yue, Xiu Ka quickly stepped forward to greet her.

Mi Yue handed him two orange crystal beads.

(Take these two orange crystal beads to apply for a Tiger City pass. With the pass, you’ll be free to enter and leave the city for hunting.)

(By the way, here are some crystal fragments. Keep them with you for emergencies.) Ever since learning that Xiu Ka could hear her thoughts, Mi Yue found their communication much easier.

She took out some more crystal fragments and handed them to Xiu Ka.

“No, I can’t accept your crystals.”
