Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 37

Xiu Ka stared at the two orange crystal beads resting in Mi Yue’s porcelain-white palm, glowing like tiny rising suns, his heart burning with emotion.

“Shaman Yue, I can’t accept these.”

(Take them. These will make hunting much easier for you in the future.)

Mi Yue pressed Xiu Ka’s hand, refusing to let him return the crystals.

“But… you worked hard to earn these too.”

Xiu Ka pursed his lips, still reluctant to accept such a gift from the one he loved.

(Just take them for now. You can repay me with crystals once you’ve earned some later.)

Mi Yue nodded at Xiu Ka, hoping he wouldn’t refuse any further.

Xiu Ka locked eyes with her, his heart overflowing with gratitude.

He truly needed the crystal beads right now. Without a pass stone, he couldn’t go out to hunt and had been stuck waiting at home. These two beads were a tremendous help to him.

[Received 10 gratitude points from Xiu Ka of the Tiger Tribe. Current gratitude points: 10.]

[Received 5 virtue points from Xiu Ka of the Tiger Tribe. Current virtue points: 45.]

[Warning: Xing Chi’s emotions are experiencing significant fluctuations.]

Before Mi Yue could even rejoice over finally earning some points, she immediately tensed up at the alert about Xing Chi’s emotional state.

The emotional spike could only mean one thing, Xing Chi had guessed she’d gone to see Xiu Ka and was now furious.

No, she couldn’t let Xing Chi turn dark. She had to hurry back.

(I-I have to go now.)

After mentally conveying this, Mi Yue quickly ran back to her stone house.

Sure enough, the moment she stepped inside, she saw Xing Chi sitting on the stone bed, visibly sulking.

When he noticed her enter, he merely glanced up before turning his head away again, his expression screaming, “I’m angry, and I won’t be easily appeased.”

“Lord Xing Chi, what’s wrong? Who made you angry?” Mi Yue sat beside him, her voice sweet and playful, feigning innocence.

Xing Chi shot her a sidelong glance. “Hmph, you know exactly why.”

Seeing that she couldn’t brush it off, Mi Yue quickly tried to placate him. “Oh, mighty Lord Xing Chi, don’t be angry. I’ll do whatever you say.”

Just as Xing Chi opened his mouth to speak, she added, “Except forming a partnership with me right now.”

Hearing her rejection, Xing Chi’s long lashes fluttered slightly, masking the disappointment in his eyes.

When he looked up again, he was once more the proud Lord Xing Chi. “I want seafood. And I want to eat it at a restaurant.”

“Fine. Seafood it is, anything you want.”

Mi Yue agreed without hesitation. Seafood was nothing, she could handle that easily.

In the blink of an eye, the two were back in the villa, surrounded by modern furnishings and advanced electronic appliances.

“It’s still early. I’ll go get the car, wait for me at the door.”

Mi Yue grabbed the car keys from the drawer and headed to the underground garage. Xing Chi obediently waited at the entrance. Before long, Mi Yue pulled up in a “metal box,” stopping right in front of him.

“Hop in.”

Xing Chi got into the car, his eyes darting around the interior in fascination. This was only his second time in a vehicle, and the “metal box” still amazed him.

Though it wasn’t his first ride, he still wasn’t entirely comfortable with the enclosed space.

Mi Yue leaned over considerately and fastened his seatbelt for him.

After fastening her seatbelt, Mi Yue started the car, and soon they were on the road.

Xing Chi looked out the window, watching the trees outside recede one after another, his mouth gradually falling open in amazement.

Are these leaves moving? Why are they running in the opposite direction?

Xing Chi kept his eyes fixed on the trees outside, finding everything incredibly fascinating.

Soon, Mi Yue drove down from the mountainside to the foot of the hill. The security guard at the base lifted the barrier, and the head of security, Chen Jinshui, greeted the residents with great enthusiasm.

But Mi Yue paid no attention and drove straight past.

She parked the car in front of a grand seafood restaurant and had a waiter help her find a parking spot.

As soon as they entered, a server personally escorted Mi Yue and Xing Chi to a suitable table, handing them a menu the moment they sat down.

Mi Yue let Xing Chi order whatever he liked, and he didn’t hold back, ordering a whole table full of seafood.

His favorites included salmon, king crab, steamed egg with sea urchin, sashimi platter, garlic oysters, and seafood congee.

Halfway through the meal, Xing Chi felt it wasn’t enough and even called the waiter over to order more.

Mi Yue didn’t mind, this outing was meant to make Xing Chi happy, so she let him order freely.

By the end, Xing Chi was thoroughly satisfied, the seafood bringing him immense joy.

After the meal, Mi Yue took Xing Chi shopping again.

The fruits and dresses she had bought last time had sold exceptionally well, so she planned to stock up on more.

Of course, just selling fruits and dresses wouldn’t be enough, she also intended to browse for other items to take back to the Beast World.

Since the females there tended to be on the heavier side, Mi Yue deliberately picked out larger-sized dresses.

Passing by an underwear store, Mi Yue suddenly thought of something and pulled Xing Chi inside to buy some camisoles and women’s underwear.

If she had been shopping alone, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but now she had Xing Chi standing right beside her.

Buying intimate apparel with a man around made her feel somewhat embarrassed, and by the time she paid, her face was burning red.

Xing Chi had never been inside a women’s lingerie store before. Seeing the dazzling array of undergarments, his curiosity was instantly piqued.

These didn’t look like dresses, why was Mi Yue buying them?

“Yue, are these clothes too? Why are you buying this?”

Xing Chi picked up a red bra and held it up to Mi Yue, making her face flush even deeper.

How could he just grab things like that? Why was he so curious about everything?

She immediately put the bra back, covering Xing Chi’s mouth to stop him from asking more questions.

“Don’t just grab things here, not a single one. And don’t ask any more questions, no matter how many ‘whys’ you have. Save them for when we get home.”

After giving him strict instructions, Mi Yue dragged Xing Chi out of the store.

As they reached the exit, Xing Chi accidentally caught sight of the store’s mannequin, which was wearing the exact same piece he had just picked up.

Oh… so that’s how it’s worn.

In an instant, he understood what kind of clothing it was.

When he turned to look at Mi Yue again, his gaze had become noticeably different, intense, as if flames were burning within.

After buying the camisole and women’s underwear, Mi Yue no longer felt like continuing to shop. Her face was burning with embarrassment, and she was afraid someone might notice if she stayed any longer.

So, she quickly drove Xing Chi back to the villa. Before she could even put the car keys back in the drawer, she was suddenly yanked into a firm, powerful embrace.

The abruptness of it left Mi Yue stunned. She stammered, “W-what are you doing?”
