114: Chapter 114: How to Please a Woman 114: Chapter 114: How to Please a Woman The day after returning to Capital Star, Yan Qianyi took Aunt Xue house-hunting.

At last, they decided on a ready-for-occupation villa in the suburbs.

Because of its location, the villa wasn’t very big, and the total price was just seven million.

They could have paid in installments, but she couldn’t bear the interest from a loan, so she paid the full amount in cash.

The five million she earned from the mission on Kefei Star, plus the remaining two million in her account was spent all at once, leaving her a penny less, and entirely broke.

On the way back after signing the purchase contract, Aunt Xue was in total disquiet, “Miss, where did you get so much money?”

“Don’t worry, my money is all legally obtained.”

“But the two of us can’t use such a big house; it’s too expensive.

And you’re going to need a lot of money for school in the future.”

“You don’t need to worry about money,” Yan Qianyi winked at Aunt Xue, “In the future, we will move to an even bigger house.”

She needed to do research which required a lot of space, as well as absolute privacy and quiet.

Living in a small two-bedroom apartment wasn’t convenient.

In the future, she was going to become the richest woman in the universe.

This little suburban villa was just a temporary stopover.

Though she was now completely broke, she liked to go all-in when doing things.

Being out of money would make her work harder to earn more, and to spend more frugally.

The car stopped in front of the apartment building.

Yan Qianyi said to Aunt Xue, “You go back first.

I have some things to do, don’t wait for me for dinner tonight.”

Next, she would have to see patients to earn money for renovations.

In the blink of an eye, the day to go to the Military Academy arrived.

In the evening, Yan Qianyi, with her legs crossed, lay on her bed checking her account balance.

For the past twenty days, she had seen one patient a day in the guise of the Masked Divine Doctor.

She charged the wealthy more and for the ordinary poor, she would just take a token amount; for the even poorer, she wouldn’t take a penny.

When she was in the otherworld, she treated patients based on her mood.

After returning to this world, she eventually bowed to money.

She even took on a mission worth a commission of one million two hundred thousand.

Besides that, she spent her time doing research on alchemy, exercising her body, always as busy as an unstoppable spinning top.

She squeezed her schedule so tight because of joining the Military Academy tomorrow.

She was worried that once she entered the academy, she wouldn’t have time to make money.

The money she had earned during this period had been spent on buying medicinal materials and renovating her new house.

She had also acquired a small share of the Yan’s stocks from investors.

Adding it all up, she was left with only eight hundred and eighty thousand, a lucky number.

But without a few million or tens of millions in hand, she never felt secure.

If she encountered precious medicinal materials, this amount of money would be nowhere near enough.

It was unfortunate that recently, missions posted on the organization’s website were not offering high commissions, and no super-wealthy people had sought her medical services, otherwise she wouldn’t have had to work so hard for money.

All in all, there was still a long way to go before she could become the richest in the interstellar.

It seemed that she would only get rich overnight once she figured out how to enhance Fertility.

Closing her personal account, Yan Qianyi fell back onto her bed.

She had to report to the Military Academy tomorrow, feeling a bit of excitement and anticipation, she wanted to share it with someone.

Besides Yan Ruyi and Qu Yang, she had no other friends.

Suddenly, she remembered she hadn’t contacted Mu Yunlie in over ten days.

She and Mu Yunlie were also friends, after all.

Hesitating for a moment, she sent Mu Yunlie a message asking, “Did the medicine I give you work?”

No sooner had she sent the message, she regretted it.

Mu Yunlie, that cold-hearted man, probably wouldn’t respond to her.

But to her surprise, he replied instantly this time!

Mu Yunlie: “Yes.”

Yan Qianyi immediately messaged back, “That’s good.

I’ve made some more, and you should be almost out.

I’ll bring it to you the next time we meet.”

After a moment’s thought, and without waiting for his reply, she sent another message, “I’m going to the Federation Military Academy tomorrow.”

Mu Yunlie: “Mm.”

Looking at the “Mm” on the Light Screen, Yan Qianyi pouted her lips.

So economical with words.

Boring, might as well go to sleep.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunlie stared at the Light Screen for a long time before asking Ah Chang, “Why isn’t she replying to my messages?”

Ah Chang said, “Master, you’ve killed the conversation dead.”

Mu Yunlie frowned in confusion, “But I replied to her messages quickly.”

“You did, quickly, but each time you only replied with one word.

Madam sent you two messages full of words, and all you replied with was a ‘Mm.’ Facing that one word, what do you think Madam could say in response?”

Ah Chang’s virtual figure stood to the side, helplessly spreading his hands.

“Is there so much to consider in chatting?”

“Master, how about I download you a book?

‘How to please a woman’ is very popular online right now.

Lots of clueless guys say they’ve learned how to flirt after reading it.

I think it would be perfect for you.”

Mu Yunlie’s gaze darkened, “What nonsense!”

He shut off the Light Screen, no longer looking at the chat with Yan Qianyi.

Ah Chang asked, “Master, when are we going back?

I miss Madam already.”

Mu Yunlie gave him a look, “You mean you miss Xiao Ke.”

Ah Chang laughed, “We’re all one family anyway.”

“Who’s one family with them?

You’re the one who forced me into a marriage with her without our consent; we’re merely business partners now.”

“Master, you’re wrong.

You were the one who ordered me to do that; I even tried to stop you, but you still insisted on…”

Before Ah Chang could finish speaking, Mu Yunlie tapped his bracelet’s screen, silencing him and making him disappear.

Standing up and about to pour himself a drink, the night outside was pierced with the sound of a wild cat calling.

Suddenly recalling something, he immediately contacted Pei Yuexuan, asking him to come over.

Pei Yuexuan was already in bed, but he hurried over upon receiving the order.

When he saw Pei Yuexuan, Mu Yunlie asked, “Any progress on that woman with the black cat mask?”

Pei Yuexuan showed signs of panic, “My lord, didn’t you order me to look into it after getting back?”

Lately, they had been busy on Kefei Star, dealing with the Insect Clan on the border and had no time to investigate the mysterious woman.

Mu Yunlie frowned but didn’t lose his temper, asking again, “Was there any clue in Black Bear’s autopsy?

How did he die?”

“He had no other injuries, only a needle found inside his brow bone.

It was poisoned and caused his immediate death.”

As Pei Yuexuan spoke, he took out his personal device and projected the image of the needle onto a Light Screen.

When Mu Yunlie saw the silver needle in the photo, his eyes narrowed, “Zoom in.”

Pei Yuexuan promptly zoomed in on the photo.

Mu Yunlie’s gaze grew sharp, “Have you seen this kind of silver needle somewhere before?”
