Chapter 137: Seeking Qiu Yi's Help

~7 min read 1,318 words

The male scrambled after her, crying out 'wife,' but the female slapped him across the face and, still unsatisfied, kicked him a few times.

If it weren't for this unlucky thing, she wouldn't be so embarrassed today.

Seeing that reconciliation was hopeless, the male fell into utter despair. He had already been given a Spiritual Mark; although he hadn't lost his ability to pay, this meant he could no longer be marked by another female and marry.

He could only live out his life as an insignificant male, and eventually, having spent all his Contribution Points and unable to afford rent, he ended up drifting outside the Free Zone.

Seeing the male's miserable state, Ji Jiangci felt a twinge of self-reproach in his warm eyes; if he hadn't held him back to borrow lipstick, perhaps he wouldn't have failed the registration.

He told Ye Xi'an the whole story, and Ye Xi'an hadn't expected things to be like this.

She walked up to the male and apologetically said, 'Sorry, it's all my husband's fault for causing you trouble. This way, I'll transfer all my family's Contribution Points to you—would that count as compensation?'

Ji Jiangci was startled and quickly said, 'There are many ways to compensate him; it's not necessary to give him all the Contribution Points.'

The male also looked up at Ye Xi'an, his eyes red from crying: 'He's right; if you really want to compensate me, you'd better not give me Contribution Points.' Anyway, he'll spend them all eventually.

"Then how do you want me to compensate you?"

The male said earnestly, 'Let me be your beloved beast!' Only by clinging to a female does he have a chance to survive.

Ye Xi'an:....

Bao Jing, Lin Zhi Jing:!!!!!! Borrowing your lipstick—are you trying to steal the household?

"No!" Bao Jing and Lin Zhi Jing spoke at the same time, cautiously pulling Ye Xi'an away from that male.

"Not letting me be your beloved beast, yet hypocritically saying you want to compensate me—pfft!" The male turned his head away, as if he had expected this.

"I'll just transfer the Contribution Points to you then." Ye Xi'an was also startled by him, and hurriedly transferred all the Contribution Points in her account to that male.

Even the money that Lin Zhi Jing had just transferred to her account was given away.

Along the way, Ji Jiangci, who had never shown displeasure before, darkened his face for the first time; borrowing a lipstick ended up costing him so many Contribution Points—enough to buy dozens of makeup sets.

"Don't be angry; we can earn more Contribution Points later. After all, him ending up like this is also our problem."

Although Ye Xi'an also had a bit of a miser's streak, she knew that if she didn't give away the Contribution Points, she would be tormented by guilt and unable to sleep at night during this period.

Bao Jing couldn't stand Ye Xi'an and Ji Jiangci lowering themselves: 'Who are you giving that dark face to? If you hadn't grabbed that person just to borrow lipstick, none of this would have happened.'

Ji Jiangci pressed his lips together; he wasn't unhappy for anyone else—wasn't it for this family?

He sighed helplessly: 'At least leave some—now we don't even have money for a ride; how long will we have to walk?'

Ye Xi'an only realized after giving it all away that she had no money for a ride; at the time she was only thinking about the spatial fee for the next mission, figuring that in a few days the 3.6 million Contribution Points from the Mission Center would arrive, so taking on a mission would surely be fine, and she happily emptied her account.

"How long will we have to walk?" Ye Xi'an already felt tired.

Bao Jing patted Ye Xi'an's shoulder: 'Not long—just about a month of walking.'

Ye Xi'an widened her eyes in shock: 'That far? Walking that distance is ridiculous!'

It seems it's time to ask the rich older sister for help.

【Ye Xi'an】: Qiu Yi older sister~

Qiu Yi was currently practicing martial arts in her own hundred-square-meter large garden, every inch of her muscles radiating strength's light, causing the nearby male to drool.

Upon seeing that the message was from Ye Xi'an, she immediately stopped her actions, opened the message box, saw Ye Xi'an calling her 'Qiu Yi older sister' and adding a tilde; she could even imagine Ye Xi'an's current appearance, like a spoiled little kitten.

【Qiu Yi】: What's wrong?

【Ye Xi'an】: Qiu Yi older sister, I have no money for a ride—could you please send a vehicle to take me home~

【Qiu Yi】: Transfer.

【Qiu Yi】: Send your location, I'll come pick you up.

Ye Xi'an looked at the string of zeros on the screen, frightened enough to make her hand tremble, almost losing control and tapping to accept the payment.

【Ye Xi'an】: Qiu Yi older sister, don't transfer money to me—I can earn it myself!

But actually Ye Xi'an's heart was bleeding—this is ten million!

【Ye Xi'an】: Location.

【Ye Xi'an】: Qiu Yi older sister, just send someone over; no need to specially come pick me up—I'd feel embarrassed.

【Qiu Yi】: Okay, I've already sent someone, but you should keep this Contribution Points—how can a female have no money?

【Ye Xi'an】:....

If she continued speaking, she really wouldn't be able to hold back.

When a person can't decide, they choose to ask others: 'What do you think—should I accept this Contribution Points?'

Ye Xi'an looked at the few people; deep down she already had an answer—she of course wanted to accept it, and even if she couldn't do so with a clear conscience, at least she would accept it.

Ji Jiangci and Yi Yang hoped Ye Xi'an would accept it; in their view, Contribution Points were the most substantial.

But Lin Zhi Jing and Bao Jing thought it'd be better not to accept it—accepting money would mean owing more favors, and the last debt still hasn't been repaid.

"Mm~" Ye Xi'an looked at the previous messages on the screen, pouting sadly: 'You're right—the original debt still hasn't been repaid; how could we ask for more?'

【Ye Xi'an】: Qiu Yi older sister, I really don't want it—I don't want our feelings mixed up with these~

At the other end of the screen, Qiu Yi's heart was about to melt, thinking Ye Xi'an truly regarded her as a good sister.

【Qiu Yi】: Okay, but if you really need money, you must definitely tell me—no need to be polite.

【Qiu Yi】: The aircraft I dispatched should be arriving soon—just wait a bit longer.

【Ye Xi'an】: Mm-hmm, thank you, Qiu Yi older sister.

After closing the screen, Ye Xi'an was still looking at her Light Brain, reminiscing—no wonder everyone says the rich older sister is great; this is fantastic!

She seemed to see the dawn of the future waving at her.

What Qiu Yi said was good; the people she sent came very quickly, and the delivery speed was also very fast—going from the First Ring to the Second Ring took only half an hour, several times faster than a train.

Watching the aircraft disappear from sight in the blink of an eye, Ye Xi'an felt a twinge of envy: 'How much does this thing cost?'

Bao Jing and the others didn't know, after all, no one would understand something they might never encounter in a lifetime.

Lin Zhi Jing, however, had some knowledge—after all, those old-timers have worked for the Federation for hundreds of years, so they still have some savings: 'About a hundred million per craft, and that's the most basic model.'

Ye Xi'an had an 'I knew it' expression; she shouldn't have asked so much, and should just go back to look at her little nest—that's the most practical.

At the instant the door opened, Ye Xi'an felt herself being warmly embraced.
