Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 45

The same bustling street was alive with activity as Mi Yue picked an empty spot to set up her stall.

She carefully arranged the delicate mousse cakes one by one, their exquisite appearance making them stand out prominently on the street.

“Wow, what’s this? It’s so pretty!”

Soon, three young females gathered around Mi Yue’s stall. She recognized them, they were the same three who had bought her dresses before.

“Oh, it’s you guys! These are mousse cakes, a new type of food I managed to get my hands on. Would you like to try some?”

Mi Yue smiled as she explained. The two young females were completely unfamiliar with the word “cake” and had no idea what it was.

“What’s a mousse cake?”

“Yeah, can you eat something this pretty?”

The two voiced their confusion, and Mi Yue chuckled before patiently explaining.

“A mousse cake is a type of food. Its texture is completely different from what we usually eat, and it comes in many flavors, some with fruit, and others with unique tastes like Oreo. You can try a little first to see if you like it. If you do, you can buy some afterward.”

As she spoke, Mi Yue cut a mousse cake into small pieces and offered them to the three young females to sample.

Each of them picked up a tiny piece and gently placed it in their mouths.

They had never tasted mousse cake before. The strange food melted the moment it touched their tongues, its texture unlike anything they’d ever experienced.

It didn’t even require chewing. Soon, the fruity flavor of the cake spread through their mouths, accompanied by an indescribable sweetness.

“This is amazing! It just melts in my mouth, I didn’t even have to chew!”

“This is so delicious! What is this melting thing? The taste is incredible!”

The three young females chattered excitedly. Their first taste of mousse cake had completely won them over with its velvety texture.

Mi Yue smiled knowingly. She was aware that people here had never had whipped cream before, so it was likely the taste of the cream that had stunned them.

“Do you like it? If you do, why not buy a piece to take home?”

Mi Yue attempted to promote her cakes, and the three young females eagerly agreed, they were so delicious that they simply had to buy some.

“Alright, we’ll take some! How many crystal beads do we need?”

“I have many flavors of cake here, but the price is the same for all, one red crystal bead per cake.”

The moment Mi Yue announced the price, the three young females gasped in shock.

They knew the items at Mi Yue’s stall were on the pricier side, and they had mentally prepared themselves before asking. But clearly, their preparation hadn’t been enough.

“One red crystal bead for such a tiny cake? It’ll be gone in two bites, isn’t that a bit too expensive?”

“Yeah, I probably won’t even get to enjoy it properly before it’s finished.”

“This is too pricey. Can you lower the price a little? You know we’re regulars here, we even bought your dresses before…”

One of the young females even attempted to haggle. Mi Yue chuckled and replied,

“Of course, I’m very grateful for your continued patronage, and I’d love to offer you a discount. But rare things are precious, and it took a lot of effort for me to get these cakes here.”

“And I’m sure none of you have ever seen this kind of cake on this street before. Not just in Tiger City, even in Beast City, you won’t find a second place selling these.”

Mi Yue’s confident demeanor made the three young females’ hearts flutter with excitement again.

That’s right, they had never seen such cakes before, and Mi Yue had even said they weren’t available in Beast City. That meant, apart from her place, they couldn’t get them anywhere else.

“Alright, give me one.”

“I’ll take one too, the honeydew one, please.”

“Me too, give me one as well.”

After packing the cakes for the three young females, Mi Yue smiled and waved them off.

“Welcome back anytime. If I get my hands on anything new, I’ll definitely save some for you first.”

Mi Yue was thrilled. These three young females were likely to become her regular customers.

And they weren’t the only ones. Soon, other males and young females passing by gathered around, sampled the new mousse cakes, and reluctantly decided to splurge on a piece.

Once again, her stock sold out. Mi Yue counted her earnings for the day, these mousse cakes had earned her two orange crystal beads and fifty red ones.

By evening, Mi Yue and Xing Chi returned to Bu Tai’s home.

From afar, Bu Tai was shocked to see them approaching. Mi Yue and Xing Chi had been missing for days, he had assumed they were dead. Yet here they were, alive and well.

That day, Ma Qi had clearly seen the pool of blood on the ground, injuries that should have been fatal. But now, they looked completely unharmed.

“Lord Xing Chi, it’s been a while. You’ve finally returned.”

“Lord Xing Chi, your injuries have healed completely? May I ask which physician possesses such remarkable skills?”

Bu Tai tried to pry the name of this physician from Xing Chi, but the latter remained cold, his lips parting slightly.

“That physician is reclusive and refuses to meet outsiders. There’s no need to ask further, attend to your own affairs.”

With that, Bu Tai had no choice but to drop the matter.

“Mi Yue, you’re back. I just heard the servants talking about you, I didn’t expect you to actually return.”

Not long after Bu Tai left, Xiu Ka rushed over, blocking Mi Yue and Xing Chi’s path.

“Xing Chi, you were severely injured that day. Are you alright now?”

Xiu Ka’s eyes were fixed on Mi Yue, though his words were directed at Xing Chi. His real concern was for her, the question about Xing Chi’s health was just a formality.

“I’m perfectly fine. A minor injury like that couldn’t possibly affect me. Don’t worry about it.”

(Xiu Ka, go call Grandpa over for dinner.)

(I have some things here to make a different kind of meal, let’s all gather for a barbecue.) Mi Yue patted Xiu Ka’s shoulder, speaking through her thoughts.

Xiu Ka froze for a moment.

Calling Grandpa over for dinner was no issue, but what on earth was this “barbecue” Mi Yue mentioned?

“What’s a barbecue?” he asked.

(You’ll find out soon enough. Just go call him first.) Mi Yue smiled, keeping him in suspense for now.

She had previously bought a lot of barbecue ingredients and a grill, and now was the perfect time to put them to use.

Xiu Ka nodded. There was no rush, he would find out the answer eventually.

“Then I’ll go call Grandpa first.”

With that, Xiu Ka left.

“Come on, you’re coming with me to move the grill out.”

Mi Yue dragged Xing Chi along to help with the heavy lifting.

By the time everyone had gathered, Mi Yue had almost everything ready.
