Chapter 40: Spending a Fortune for Her
“Thank you for the kind offer, but it’s not necessary. I just looked up Lan Huan Island; it’s very close to the Central Star, only an hour away by aircraft. Plus, the island is completely occupied by females; males aren’t allowed to enter.”
Even Fred and Enzo would have to turn back when they approached the adjacent planet.
“Alright, then I’ll await your good news.”
The next day, Fred and Enzo arrived in a warship to pick her up.
“Tangtang, this is the island admission ticket.”
Admission ticket?
Su Miantang took it. It was a card emitting a golden glow all over, looking incredibly valuable. “This… should be very expensive, right?”
If it was expensive, she wouldn’t go!
She was only going to slack off and put on a show anyway. If it cost money, the loss would outweigh the gain.
“It’s free,” Fred smiled. “For a beautiful, adorable, and outstanding female like Tangtang to visit Lan Huan Island is an honor for them. How could they charge a fee?”
“Tangtang, I brought you some snacks, all your favorites.” Enzo lifted two gift boxes. “If you get tired from the healing sessions, absolutely do not push yourself. Rest up; your health is the most important thing.”
“Also, if anyone bullies you on the island, you must notify us immediately!”
He took out a fluorescent wristband and put it on her.
“This is a summoner used in the military. If you encounter danger and don’t have time to turn on your optical computer, just look directly at its peephole. It will automatically scan your iris and lock onto your location data, allowing us to rush over quickly!”
Even though they were nominally her Guardians, their ages were quite similar. Su Miantang had never really viewed them as true elders, but looking at them now, they actually seemed quite a bit like it…
She was merely going to Lan Huan Island to train for a few days, yet they acted as if she were marching off to war, continuously showering her with instructions the whole way.
She couldn’t help but tease, “But Lan Huan Island is full of females. If they bully me, would you guys actually dare to lay a hand on them?”
The Central Star System had respect and care for females carved into its very bones; it was something that would never change no matter what. Su Miantang assumed that by saying this, they would be left speechless.
Unexpectedly, the two of them fell silent for a moment before lifting their heads to look at her with incomparably resolute gazes. “We would.”
In their hearts, there was only the nation and her. If anyone bullied her, they wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate, even if it cost them their lives.
Su Miantang’s heart involuntarily trembled, feeling as if she had been struck by something. She stopped joking with them and simply nodded. “Okay, I will return safely.”
Upon arriving at Lan Huan Island, enthusiastic staff members guided her into the spiritual cultivation hall.
“Everyone, quiet down. Today, we’d like to introduce a new student. Her name is Su Miantang, from the Central Star…”
The teacher clapped her hands, gesturing for her to enter.
Su Miantang walked in.
Inside the hall, over a hundred chattering females instantly fell silent.
She was… too beautiful, wasn’t she?
They were all socialite heiresses and royal nobles from various planets. Every single one of them had their own pride and upbringing, so they didn’t outwardly display too much of their shock. But from their incredulous stares, one could see amazement, jealousy, and admiration…
Su Miantang gave a brief introduction of herself, and the teacher told her to choose any seat she liked.
Come here! Come here! Come here!
In the back row, Yue Ling whispered in anticipation. Amazingly, her silent chanting actually worked. The girl chose a little corner not far from her and sat down.
The reason Su Miantang chose such an inconspicuous spot was because she had come precisely to slack off. She just needed to go through the motions for two days and then she could leave.
Nobody paid attention to the little corner; perhaps she could even secretly space out and nap.
Who would have thought that under the teacher’s instruction, she would witness a magical scene.
“Open your palms upward and begin to drive your pheromones. Imagine their shape and scent…”
Over a hundred people followed suit. Then, a glow gradually floated up from their palms, and in the center of the light were many different objects.
There were natural sights like little grasses, streams, and saplings, as well as everyday fruits like bananas, grapes, and cantaloupes.
The adorable-looking girl next to her held a bright orange carrot in her palm.
Could these be their information bodies? How magical!
The teacher’s gaze swept over to her. In order to not seem like an anomaly, she quickly reached into the large bag of snacks Enzo had given her. Fumbling around blindly, she grabbed a bag of potato chips.
…If she claimed her pheromones were potato chip flavored, and even came with the packaging, would anyone believe her?
“Pfft—”
Beside her, Yue Ling saw her pull out a bag of chips and couldn’t help but laugh.
Especially when the teacher told everyone to get closer to and communicate with their information bodies. While everyone else slowly absorbed theirs into their brains or hearts, she simply tore open the packaging and ate the chips piece by piece.
She originally thought that someone born this beautiful must be a cold, aloof, and noble goddess. She didn’t expect her to have such an interesting personality, instantly making her feel much more approachable.
Emboldened, she leaned closer to her.
“Hi, hello. My name is Yue Ling, from Planet Yue Hui. I’m an S-grade female, and my pheromones are carrot-flavored.”
In the front row, two females who had been secretly paying attention to Su Miantang for a long time heard someone else say hello first. Following the voice, they also turned around to introduce themselves.
“Hello, I’m Mai Dina, from Planet M79. I’m an A-grade female, and my pheromones are ginkgo leaf-flavored.”
“Hello, I’m Bai Weiwei, also from the Central Star. I’m an A-grade female with apple-flavored pheromones. You’re so pretty; how come I haven’t seen you before?”
“Uh…”
Their enthusiasm took Su Miantang by surprise. They were nothing like what Fred and Enzo had described—making it sound as if all high-grade females were ravenous wolves and ferocious tigers out to eat her whole. They were clearly quite adorable.
“Because I just arrived at the Central Star not long ago. I don’t have a grade, nor do I have pheromones.”
“What?” The three were shocked. “You don’t have pheromones?!”
“Mhm.”
“My goodness, you’re so gorgeous! Isn’t that a reckless waste of God’s gifts?”
“If you don’t have pheromones, what are you doing at the spiritual cultivation hall?”
Yue Ling was curious.
Su Miantang had no choice but to explain her predicament once again. After she finished, Yue Ling sighed in awe. “Then your Guardians are truly good to you, willing to spend a fortune just to send you here to play.”
“What?”
Su Miantang didn’t understand.
What fortune?
Yue Ling took out her island admission ticket, a gold card identical to hers.
“It’s this. It costs a full ten million Star Coins.”
Ah?!
Hearing this, Su Miantang’s vision went black.
Ten million Star Coins was enough for her to live off for a lifetime!
And Fred and Enzo actually lied and told her it was free, making her spend an astronomical price just to slack off! Those two massive liars! Just wait until she got back and taught them a good lesson!
“But I have a lot more of these here. If you need them, I can give them to you.”
As Yue Ling spoke, she pulled out ten of them from her pocket.
Su Miantang was stunned. “!” Was she looking at a rich lady? And one so generous with her wealth at that.
“No need, no need. This is too precious.”
“What’s the big deal?”
Yue Ling didn’t think much of it. To her, Star Coins were just worldly possessions. Her family had so much money that they couldn’t even burn through it all. Her actual interest lay in making friends. She had been to Lan Huan Island so many times without ever meeting a destined friend, but today she finally did.
The moment she saw her, she felt an instant, intense connection!
After all, who doesn’t like a pretty girl?
