Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 9

Mi Yue held her breath and listened carefully, noticing no movement outside. She turned off the nightlight and transported herself back to the modern world.

Once back, she couldn’t wait to use her Gratitude Points.

This was the third time she had used them. Initially, Mi Yue thought she would have grown accustomed to the changes in her body, but she had underestimated the system’s power.

Not only had her shortness of breath and fatigue improved, but she also felt an overall lightness in her entire being.

Before, it was as if her soul had been weighed down by heavy shackles. Now, she felt completely unburdened, from the inside out, lifting her hands and moving her feet effortlessly, as light as a feather.

[Congratulations, Host. Your body has recovered 80% and will soon be completely free from illness.]

Mi Yue was thrilled. The ability to breathe freely, run, and jump… it felt incredible!

In the past, no matter how wealthy she was, she had been plagued by an incurable illness. Now, she had hope for survival!

Filled with anticipation for a brighter future, Mi Yue drifted into a deep sleep.

At seven in the morning, her phone alarm rang.

Mi Yue quickly got up to wash her face and brush her teeth. She hadn’t showered the night before, so she made up for it now.

Soon, a fragrant little fairy emerged from the bathroom.

But when she had to put on that ugly shaman’s dress again, Mi Yue’s good mood took a 20% hit.

Sigh…

Once dressed, she tapped her phone and transported herself back to the Beast World.

At the Tiger Tribe’s campsite, many were already awake, but no one dared to peek into Mi Yue’s tent, so they remained unaware of her absence the previous night.

As she unzipped the tent, she saw several males returning with their prey.

However, most of the animals were emaciated, skin and bones, evidence of how severely the drought had affected them.

Natural disasters like droughts were part of the survival of the fittest. This was reality, and Mi Yue didn’t have time to wallow in pity. After eating bread and drinking milk, she began packing up her tent.

By the time she stuffed the tent back into its box, the Tiger Tribe’s chief announced it was time to move on.

Given the large number of tribes people, including the females, their progress was slow.

Thanks to the Gratitude Points, Mi Yue’s stamina had improved, and she found the journey much less exhausting.

Still, after a full day of walking, her feet were sore. Once the tribe settled down to rest, Mi Yue returned to the modern world.

The flow of time between the modern world and the Beast World wasn’t synchronized, so it was only eight in the evening, just the start of nightlife.

Mi Yue drove straight to “Golden Jade Full House,” a luxury foot spa.

She spent 8,888 yuan and booked two masseurs, one for a full-body spa and the other for a foot massage.

As her feet soaked in the warm water, a wave of relaxation washed over her.

“So comfortable”

Mi Yue nibbled on fruit, scrolled through her phone, and lounged lazily on the massage bed.

Soon, the manager led in two young, handsome men dressed in masseur uniforms.

“Miss, these are our best technicians. We guarantee your satisfaction.”

Mi Yue nodded. “Let’s begin.”

One man sat at her feet, gently lifting them onto his lap to dry them. The other stood beside the bed, his well-defined hands pressing into her delicate shoulders.

“Miss, is this pressure okay?” the woman asked softly, alternating between deep and light strokes.

Mi Yue set her phone aside and closed her eyes. “Perfect. Keep going.”

After completing the full service, the two masseurs quietly left.

The soothing incense in the private room gradually lulled Mi Yue into a drowsy haze.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the phone placed on the glass table vibrated violently.

Buzz buzz buzz~~~

[Warning: The target of feeding, Xiu Ka, is about to face danger. Host, please provide timely assistance!!!]

“Huh? What’s going on?” Does Xiu Ka have some kind of unlucky streak, always running into danger?

[A pack of wild wolves is approaching the Tiger Tribe’s campsite. If the tribe is not alerted in time, they will suffer heavy losses.]

“Wild wolves?” Mi Yue sat up in shock and hurriedly changed her clothes.

“How long until they arrive?”

[45 seconds left.]

“So soon?” Mi Yue frowned at the short sleeves she was wearing. There probably wasn’t enough time to go back to the tent and change into her shaman robe.

[30 seconds left.]

Mi Yue had no time to complain. She immediately took out her phone and tapped the teleportation button.

Everything went dark before her eyes. Without time to turn on the nightlight, Mi Yue unzipped the tent by the light of her phone’s flashlight.

Her first priority was to find Xiu Ka, after all, her life depended on him, and she couldn’t afford any mishaps.

The situation was urgent, so she didn’t bother with formalities and yanked open Xiu Ka’s tent.

Xiu Ka, being highly alert even in his sleep, heard the noise and transformed his hands into tiger claws, lashing out at the intruder.

Mi Yue hadn’t expected such a strong reaction and was immediately pinned to the ground.

Their bodies tumbled out of the tent, and her phone fell to the ground.

Xiu Ka’s emerald-green eyes glowed eerily in the darkness.

His grip tightened around Mi Yue’s neck, her face turning red. She raised her hands and slapped his shoulders hard.

At this life-or-death moment, she couldn’t care less about the shaman’s rule of silence.

“Xiu Ka, it’s me.”

As she moved, a faint fragrance drifted into Xiu Ka’s nostrils, gradually bringing him back to his senses.

“Shaman Yue, it’s you!”

Mi Yue pushed Xiu Ka away and stood up, glaring at him with wide, round eyes.

(Who else would it be?)

[Countdown: 10 seconds]

(No time for nonsense.)

Mi Yue pointed into the distance, then made a scary face and mimicked a wolf’s howl before gesturing to the sleeping tribe people nearby.

(A pack of wild wolves is about to attack the camp. Go wake everyone up now.)

Xiu Ka’s expression changed drastically. He scanned the surroundings and indeed spotted pairs of green, red, and yellow eyes slowly closing in from the darkness.

There were quite a few wolves in the ambush, likely driven mad by the drought, they had set their sights on this group of “passersby.”

“I’ll wake the others. Stay with Grandpa. If you encounter any wolves, run… don’t engage them head-on.”

After giving these instructions, Xiu Ka tore off the animal hide around his waist, shook his shoulders, and transformed into a massive tiger with yellow and white stripes.

The tiger’s limbs were powerful, its claws as thick as Mi Yue’s arms. With a mighty push of its hind legs, it kicked up dust and charged into the distance.

As he ran, Xiu Ka let out a deafening roar. Though Mi Yue couldn’t understand it, she guessed it was meant to rouse the tribe.

Inside his tent, Wu Er awoke to the sound of the tiger’s roar and hurried outside to assess the situation.

In the distance, the wild wolves were already closing in on the campsite, their outlines visible in the dim glow of the dying bonfire.

This was Mi Yue’s first time seeing wild wolves up close, and her heart clenched with fear.

She silently asked the system, “If I die in this beast world, will my real body be affected?”

[If the host dies in the beast world, it won’t result in actual death, but it will reduce your lifespan accordingly. Therefore, please prioritize your safety.]

[Moreover, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. The host can also gain virtue points by doing good deeds, though not as much as the feedback from feeding targets, but it’s better than nothing.]

Mi Yue frowned, so if she saved the members of the Tiger Tribe this time, she could earn virtue points.

However, seeing the fierce pack of wild wolves charging toward them, she decided to play it by ear. It wouldn’t do to lose the greater for the lesser; she had to act within her means.

Upon hearing the approach of the wild wolf pack, the male members of the Tiger Tribe in the camp instantly awoke and immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

At the same time, the wolves let out howls, as if sounding the horn of battle.

“Awooo…”
