Chapter 158: Delivering Clothes

Seeing Ye Xi'an arrive, Qiu Yi's face showed a faint smile, and that sharpness softened a little.

"Here."

"Sister Qiu Yi."

Ye Xi'an called out sweetly as she stepped forward, her gaze never leaving Qiu Yi's hair: "Did you cut your hair?"

Qiu Yi flicked her hair from the front to the back, strands slipping through her fingers like a spirited youth.

"Right, is it handsome?"

"Super handsome!" Ye Xi'an was practically swooned by Qiu Yi.

Although her previous big waves were also beautiful, the short‑haired Qiu Yi was clearly more striking; even among a crowd of handsome men and beautiful women, she stood out at a glance, making the husbands behind her look like bodyguards.

Hearing Ye Xi'an's praise, Qiu Yi curled her mouth in pride; although a few of her males also said she was handsome, none sounded as sweet as Ye Xi'an's.

"By the way, why did you come to see me?"

"Of course I'm here to deliver a dream stone duck," Ye Xi'an said as she pulled a two‑meter‑tall dream stone from the space; if she weren't afraid of scaring Qiu Yi, she would have taken out the largest dream stone in the space.

Ye Xi'an's cat‑like pupils curved like a moon as she tapped the stone's uneven surface: "How is it, big enough?"

"That's way too big."

"It's too precious; I'll take half," she said casually, not intending to profit from Ye Xi'an.

But Ye Xi'an refused, insisting on giving her the whole piece.

Qiu Yi was half amused, half exasperated: "An'an, do you know how expensive dream stones are on Zhu Shen Xing now? Even yours is worth hundreds of millions."

"I know, but I just want to give it to you."

She could still distinguish a satisfying meal, and swapping this dream stone for the rich sister's favor was definitely a good deal.

"Fine! Then I'll take it."

As soon as Qiu Yi agreed to accept it, the males behind her immediately came over to move the dream stone away.

"But where did you find it? I almost ran all over Zhimeng Xing last time and didn't see a single piece; I even suspect the dream stones grew legs and burrowed underground."

Ye Xi'an chuckled twice, having to admit that Qiu Yi's suspicion was quite accurate.

"It's a long story, but if you go again later you should be able to find dream stones."

"Alright, I'm heading to the training hall later; do you want to come with me?"

Training hall? It sounded familiar; Ye Xi'an recalled carefully, remembering someone had mentioned the place.

Ah, right, Lin Zhi Jing said it; the place is used to train the body and cultivate abilities.

She quickly waved her hand: "Never mind, never mind. I just finished a mission and want to go back and rest." She was already prepared for a long period of staying indoors.

"Okay." Qiu Yi's gaze fell on Ji Jiangci behind Ye Xi'an, and she said directly: "Is that your husband? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Caught off guard, Ji Jiangci's body stiffened slightly; he hurriedly lowered his head, trying to hide his face with his hair, fearing he would embarrass Ye Xi'an.

"You've seen him before." Hearing Qiu Yi mention Ji Jiangci, Ye Xi'an's mood also dropped: "But we had an accident on Zhimeng Xing..."

"By the way! Sister Qiu Yi, do you know that kind of life‑restoring elixir?"

Qiu Yi said without hesitation: "Life‑restoring supplement?"

Ye Xi'an wasn't sure either, but the name sounded right, so she nodded.

But Qiu Yi frowned: "Then I'm afraid you can't get it; on Zhu Shen Xing there are only a few of those elixirs, and they've probably all been sent to the marshal."

"Moreover, you wouldn't be asking for this elixir for your husband, would you?"

Ye Xi'an felt a bit disappointed at Qiu Yi's words; if she didn't have any, then she had even less hope.

"Yeah." Ye Xi'an's voice was weary, worried about Ji Jiangci's future; she feared even the last method might be useless: "My life force hasn't been lost, so this elixir wouldn't help me either."

"Tsk." Qiu Yi's expression changed completely after Ye Xi'an finished speaking, her gaze at Ji Jiangci as if she were staring at a calamity‑bringing enchantress.

She said to everyone and Ye Xi'an without hesitation: "An'an, males are merely our accessories; they exist to make our lives better and give us support. In exchange, we provide them with material necessities, so we owe them nothing."

"If it weren't for us, they'd even struggle to find a place to live, so giving them food and shelter is already generous; we shouldn't waste extra effort on them."

"Especially expensive items like the life‑restoring supplement; you would definitely use it yourself, so how could you give it to males? That would be a waste."

Qiu Yi's words made the males present turn pale, but after thinking, they accepted that this was the reality and quickly readjusted.

But Bao Jing, Ji Jiangci, and Lin Zhi Jing were still frowning; the thought that Ye Xi'an might think that way made their hearts twist in pain, their throats feeling as if being strangled, suffocating.

Ye Xi'an laughed awkwardly twice; Qiu Yi's overbearing remark gave her an inexplicable pressure, and the traditional mindset of Diqiu she truly couldn't overturn in a short time.

Seeing Bao Jing and the others hurt and suffering always triggered uncontrollable guilt, remorse, and self‑reflection.

It seems she is still not a mature female.

"Mm‑mm, I understand. Then Sister Qiu Yi, hurry to the training hall; I'm going back to rest as well."

Qiu Yi ruffled Ye Xi'an's fluffy head twice: "When your hair grows longer, can I braid it for you?"

"Of course."

"Alright, I'm leaving."

After Qiu Yi left, Bao Jing suddenly said: "Let's go to the public restroom in the city center first."

Ye Xi'an looked at Bao Jing: "Do you want to use the restroom?"

Bao Jing shook his head, a helpless expression on his face: "Yi Yang, that little dumb dog, just peed and has no clothes, now he's hiding in the restroom waiting for me to bring him clothes."

Ugh......

Following Yi Yang's restroom coordinates, everyone finally found the public restroom at the farthest part of the First Ring.

Bao Jing wiped the sweat from Ye Xi'an's forehead, his sharp eyebrows furrowing: "When Yi Yang gets dressed, I must beat him up."

All because he made An'an run so far.

Ye Xi'an squatted on the ground, too exhausted to speak; normally a few hours by vehicle can cross from the First Ring to the San Huan, but walking turned out to be this far.

Yi Yang really knows how to run.

She waved her hand: "Fine, quickly deliver the clothes to him."

Ye Xi'an looked up at the sky; the sun was already about to set, and there should still be enough time to have a meal at First Ring.

"After we get out, let's find a restaurant to have something to eat."

"I'll find a restaurant," Ji Jiangci said quickly; now he has to seize every chance to show himself.
