Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 47

After confirming there were no sanitary pads at home, Mi Yue went to the bathroom and placed an online order for home delivery using her phone.

“It’s fine. There’s something I need that isn’t at home, so I’ve arranged for a delivery,” Mi Yue’s muffled voice came from the bathroom.

“What’s a delivery person?” Xing Chi asked.

“It’s someone who helps deliver things. After I place an order for what I need, they’ll bring it over,” Mi Yue explained while rubbing her calf.

She had been sitting on the toilet for too long, and her legs were a bit numb.

Staying seated wasn’t a solution, she had to get up.

Glancing at the toilet paper nearby, Mi Yue had no choice but to make do with it for now.

The person who accepted Mi Yue’s delivery request was a man. When he saw the commission for the order, he didn’t hesitate to take it.

He had only heard about the location of this villa, it was far, with tight security, making deliveries difficult.

But the payout was too high to resist, so he decided to give it a shot.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, a security guard stopped him.

“Hold on. You can’t just enter here,” the guard said, blocking his way.

“Bro, a resident up there ordered delivery. I’ll drop it off and come right back, I promise,” the courier called out.

“Wait here. Register first, and I’ll check with the lady.”

After the courier registered, the guard called Mi Yue to confirm the delivery before letting him through.

The moment the courier left, the guard picked up the phone and dialed a number.

“President Xiangyang, the young lady just ordered a delivery. I took a peek, it was sanitary pads.”

“Got it,” Li Xiangyang replied before hanging up.

Naturally, a new contact wouldn’t just appear in his address book without reason.

He had personally arranged for the new security at the hillside villa and instructed them to report any unusual activity.

Gazing out the window at the neon lights and bustling traffic, Li Xiangyang dialed Mi Yue’s number.

“Brother Xiangyang, what’s up?”

Mi Yue had just stepped out of the bathroom when her phone rang. Seeing it was Li Xiangyang, she answered.

“Isn’t it around that time of the month for you? Are you having any cramps?”

Mi Yue froze. How did Li Xiangyang know about her period?

“How did you know? Even I can’t keep track, it’s always irregular.”

“If you pay attention, you’ll remember. Drink more warm water these days. The heating pads and mugwort waist wraps I prepared earlier are on the shelf in the storage room, make sure to use them.”

“Also, avoid cold or raw foods, don’t do any heavy lifting, and make sure to get enough nutrients. Don’t let yourself get cold, or the cramps will definitely be bad…”

As Li Xiangyang showered her with concern, Mi Yue nodded along.

“Okay, I got it. I won’t eat anything cold or play in the water. Don’t worry, Brother Xiangyang…”

While on the phone, Mi Yue suddenly felt someone’s gaze fixed on her.

Turning around, she saw Xing Chi sitting on the sofa, doing nothing but quietly watching her.

On Xing Chi’s face, Mi Yue could practically see the word “jealousy” written in bold. Only then did she notice the unmistakable scent of vinegar lingering in the air.

“Brother Xiangyang, I’ll remember everything you said. You should take care of yourself too, don’t overwork, rest early, and find a good balance.”

Mi Yue hastily finished her words and hung up the phone.

“Oh, what’s going on with our Lord Xing Chi?” Mi Yue sidled up to Xing Chi.

“I can boil water for you too. Just wait,” Xing Chi said, then stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Mi Yue couldn’t help but laugh, he was actually being competitive about it.

Xing Chi searched carefully before finally identifying the electric kettle.

He took the kettle, filled it with water, and was about to turn it on when Mi Yue stopped him.

“Wait a minute. You need to rinse the kettle first before boiling water, otherwise the water won’t be clean, and drinking it might make you uncomfortable.”

Hearing this, Xing Chi poured out the water, washed the kettle thoroughly, filled it again, and placed it on the kitchen counter.

“Then what? Will it turn into hot water by itself?” Xing Chi turned to look at Mi Yue.

“Of course not. You need to plug it in first. See that? Place it there and press the switch.”

Following her instructions, Xing Chi clumsily positioned the kettle, pressed the switch, and soon heard a humming sound from inside.

“What’s happening?” Xing Chi asked in surprise.

“That means it’s working. The water will boil soon.”

Mi Yue sighed helplessly. Aside from Xing Chi’s awkward movements, he clearly didn’t understand modern household appliances. It seemed she’d have to teach him a lot in the future.

Xing Chi nodded, then walked over to Mi Yue.

“Yue, does your stomach still hurt? Should I massage it for you?”

Mi Yue shook her head. She didn’t feel any discomfort at all now.

Several days passed, and Mi Yue’s menstrual cycle came to an end.

Apart from some slight backache on the first day, she hadn’t experienced any physical discomfort. Given her usual constitution, she would have been in excruciating pain, possibly even fainting.

She hadn’t expected the System’s gratitude-based physique enhancement to be so effective, it even eliminated menstrual cramps.

This solved a major problem that plagued countless women.

…

With her cycle over, Mi Yue and Xing Chi returned to the Beast World.

Even back in the Beast World, Xing Chi didn’t idle around. He tried his hand at hunting.

Though he was a sea beast, his strength allowed him to overpower land animals with relative ease, making hunting no challenge for him.

While Mi Yue was alone, Xiu Ka came to see her.

“Shaman Yue.”

Mi Yue saw Xiu Ka approaching from a distance and recalled the awkward incident during the barbecue when her period had stained her pants.

“I have something to ask you,” Xiu Ka said, closing the distance between them in two strides until he was very close.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re actually a female?”

It had taken Xiu Ka days to recover from the shock.

Had he known Mi Yue was female earlier, he wouldn’t have agonized so much over his feelings.

The obstacle he’d imagined didn’t even exist.

“You never asked whether I was male or female,” Mi Yue replied.

She wasn’t speaking thoughtlessly. Given the gratitude Xiu Ka now held for her, the identity of “Shaman” no longer carried as much weight for her, so she didn’t need to maintain that facade around him anymore.

This was the first time Xiu Ka had heard Mi Yue’s real voice. Just like the thoughts he’d heard, it was pleasant and melodious.

He slumped slightly. “Right, I was stupid. I was foolish.”

“Shaman, no, Yue, I like you. Will you be my mate?” Xiu Ka took Mi Yue’s hand, his eyes brimming with hope.

“You want to be Yue’s partner, shouldn’t you ask for my permission first?”

Xiu Ka turned toward the source of the voice and saw Xing Chi standing there.

Xiu Ka hadn’t expected Xing Chi to appear so suddenly, but when it came to Mi Yue, he refused to back down.

“It’s not like I’m trying to become your partner. What does your permission have to do with me?”

“As long as Yue agrees, that’s all that matters.”
