One of the rooms in the Su family...
Su Qingxue was watching the excited Su Qingyao with mixed feelings. âUhm, sis, you...â
âDonât ask. This is how I want it to be!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Qingyao replied without second thoughts. She was even humming along. âQingxue, from now on weâre sisters that should stay together alright? Donât let Mr. Y forget about us.â
Su Qingxueâs mouth was slightly open, eyes wide with a confused look. Her sister was almost unrecognizable.
From her memories, Su Qingyao had always been a strong woman that had a cold attitude toward others, keeping them far away. She was also a genius in business, a proud goddess famed as the great miss of Su family. Why did she suddenly change into a different person?
âQingxue, I feel so relaxed now. Really relaxed,â Su Qingyao told Su Qingxue with a smile. âI no longer need to worry about anything. I can throw them all away. All those previous names they gave me are no match for the title âMr. Yâs mistressââ
âBut thatâs a mistress youâre talking about. Youâre willing to be someoneâs mistress?â Su Qingxue was discombobulated. She always thought that Su Qingyao was incredibly proud, but never expected this to be her goal. The sudden news threatened to ruin her worldview.
âWhat about a mistress? Let me ask you, whatâs the reason for a woman to marry?â
Su Qingxue kept quiet for a moment. âTo find someone to rely on?â
âThatâs right, and here I just found someone to rely on. Even our father has to be courteous around us now,â Su Qingyao explained, âIâm just looking for my own happiness.â
âBut...â Su Qingxue responded, feeling something amiss, yet was unable to complete her sentence.
âSigh, Qingxue, let me ask you. Do you have any girls in your school that rely on a sugar daddy? Moreover, itâs those grossly overweight old men? Arenât pretty girls always filled with troubles?â Su Qingyao questioned.
Su Qingxueâs cheeks blushed as she nodded. Beauty begets woes. Without someoneâs protection, some pretty girls would suffer from all sorts of harassment.
âHow many women would be fighting to be Mr. Yâs mistress if given the chance?â Su Qingyao continued her questioning.
âA whole lot,â Su Qingxue replied without hesitation.
Ye Lingchenâs excellence was not something that could be measured with wealth. It could be said that heâs a man standing at the top of the world.
âThere you have it. Mr. Y is a big shot. More importantly, heâs close to our age, leagues better than those so-called sugar daddies. Meeting him is our windfall. Youâd be stupid to not treasure this chance,â Su Qingyao elaborated. âBeing in a family like this, our status is insufficient to make any changes. Could it be that youâre willing to be married off to a stranger?â
Su Qingxue shook her head.
âSince youâre unwilling, then you need to find someone to support you. Right now, who else other than Mr. Y would dare to bully us sisters?â Su Qingyao stated matter-of-factly.
âIsnât that just devoid of feelings?â Su Qingxue asked in a daze.
âYouâre wrong once again.â Su Qingyao assumed a lecturing pose. âIf itâs a political marriage, putting our dislike for it aside, weâll have to also face mistreatment from the in-laws. However, itâs different now. Weâre the ones that would be bullying others.â
Su Qingxueâs mouth was wide open with the shock that justification brought.
âListen to me. From now on, we belong to Mr. Y. We must make our best performance and research on what a man likes.â Su Qingyaoâs expression turned serious, incredibly focused. âFrom now on, there will be many women around Mr. Y. If you donât want to be replaced, you have to constantly improve yourself. Weâre not free from all worries. We only need to think of how to make Mr. Y happy.â
âOh right, do you like popsicles?â Su Qingyao asked out of the blue.
Su Qingxue shook her head, still dazed by Su Qingyaoâs extraordinary view on life.
âThat wonât do. You need to like it.â
...
The next day, Ye Lingchen was just about to leave with Ali.
Looking up, he saw Su Qingyao holding a popsicle in her hand and slowly savoring its taste. She even shot him a wink while licking her luscious lips.
Ye Lingchenâs breathing immediately quickened. âLook at this. Whatâs a pro? Thatâs a pro!â
âMr. Y, Iâm planning to have Qingxue learn dancing and yoga with me,â Su Qingyao stated.
Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose and coughed. âYou donât have to inform me of these things.â
âI just wanted to fill you in on our bodiesâ condition at all times. If the body is not flexible enough, some postures would be difficult,â Su Qingyao explained.
âHot damn!â
âThis woman...â
Ye Lingchen exclaimed his mind, regretting not devouring this woman earlier.
âQingyao, when you make the deliveries, youâll be in charge of bringing them over,â Ye Lingchen instructed.
âMhm, donât worry. Iâll be there with the delivery. I can deliver myself over at any time, right up to your doorstep.â
...
His returning trip was drastically different from his arrival, now escorted by a private envoy along the way.
This time, his destination was set to Miracle Island. He had medicinal herbs and other items to send over after all. That was Ye Lingchenâs main base.
Ye Lingchen reclined in his seat, comfortably taking a nap. Meanwhile, Ali sat straight as a board beside him like a professional bodyguard.
âSystem menu!â
Along with Ye Lingchenâs command, the system menu popped up. His gaze immediately got stuck on the popularity points.
Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions!
It was a whopping 26,765,866 points!
Last time it was only around 13 million points. In just a few days, his popularity points managed to increase by another 13 million!
One thing was sure. News of the rabies cure had already spread beyond the country and caused a major uproar!
However, although the popularity points seemed to have a huge increase, it was still too little compared to the worldâs population. The world had over 10 billion people!
From the looks of it, it was difficult to obtain popularity points from foreigners. After all, the racial difference would have an impact on their beliefs.
However, Ye Lingchen was unfazed. He would no longer depend on small scale issues to obtain popularity points. What comes after would only shake the world even more!
His gaze fell on his list of skills. With so many popularity points, it would be a shame to not use it to upgrade his skills. Everything else did not matter, the most important thing was his own strength.
There were three advanced skills. Parkour (Advanced), Animal Taming (Advanced), and Eight Extremities Brute Training (Advanced).
At the same time, he also had three intermediate skills. Arhatâs Fist Force (Intermediate), Formation (Intermediate), and Wood Spirit Constitution (Intermediate).
Fifteen basic skills. Cultivation (Basic), Cat Language (Basic), Refining: Defense (Basic), Dragon-catching Hand (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Gastronomy (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Transfiguration (Basic), Aura Divination (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic), Bug Language (Basic), and Touch of Death (Basic).
