Su Su couldn’t help but roll her eyes and scolded with a laugh:
“Seriously, just go already.”
“Umm… then I’m leaving now, Su Su~”
Su Su nodded:
“Don’t forget to come back and visit this poor, lonely single dog.”

Soon after, Chen Xing and Little Zero left.
“Wait a minute… Brother Xue, are we not going to have dinner tonight…?”
Yun Xinghai suddenly remembered—they had spent all their money on that combat suit!
Now they didn’t have a single coin left.

He looked regretfully at Xue Bufu,
Why didn’t they ask Chen Xing to cook one last meal for them?!
It’s been so long since they had one of his super extravagant dinners.

Xue Bufu realized the issue too.
Then the two of them looked at each other… and then turned to look at Su Su sitting on the couch.
Su Su: ???
Why are you looking at me?! You want me to treat you to dinner?

“Excuse me, can you two please leave… and get out of my house! Thank you!”
Though she said that, Su Su still ended up treating them to dinner.
That night, Meow Meow also returned, so Su Su invited her too.
The four of them sat around Su Su’s dining table.

Eating takeout, they oddly resembled a family. It felt quite harmonious.
Well, only Su Su was enjoying herself. Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai were going nuts.

Su Su’s mouth was so savage!

“Little Black, eat more, eat more of this—maybe you’ll lighten up a bit.”
“That way when you go out at night, people will at least see you. Hahaha…”
“Otherwise, it’s just your teeth floating in the dark. So creepy, hahahaha…”

“Yun Xinghai, eat more walnuts. It’s good for your brain, prevents concussions. Hahaha…”

“Meow Meow~”
Su Su looked at Meow Meow with bad intentions.

Meow Meow’s hand holding the dried fish trembled, and she stared at Su Su in fear.
“Meow wuu…?” (Sis, please have mercy!)

Su Su giggled:
“Come here, let big sis pet you~”

Su Su loved petting cats, but they shed too much fur.
She had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, so she never owned one.
Now, with a fur-free kitty right in front of her, how could she let that go?

“Meow?” (What’s ‘pet’ supposed to mean?!)

Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai stayed quiet the entire meal.
They regretted it. They really shouldn’t have eaten this dinner!

Eating with Chen Xing and Little Zero made them too anxious to eat.
But eating with Su Su… the food tasted like nothing at all.

Su Su declared that this meant they now owed her two meals.
What a rip-off. That’s the only reason they forced themselves to finish the meal—at least get their money’s worth!

“Actually, I have a way for you two to make money really fast—like, a huge profit! Then you can pay me back.”
Su Su suddenly said.

“What way?”
Xue Bufu looked up curiously.

Su Su smiled mysteriously:
“One month of meals. Plus, you guys have to be my personal servants for a month.”

Xue Bufu looked troubled.
Cover her meals for a month?
Why was this little rich girl so obsessed with mooching food off them?!

If it was just repaying her with meal money, that’d be fine.
But if they had to actually eat with her for a whole month…
That’d be torture!
They’d both lose two pant sizes!

Being her “servants” wasn’t a big deal—they figured she’d just have them clean up a bit.

Seeing his troubled face, Su Su burst into laughter:
“What? Is it that hard to treat me to meals? I don’t eat much!”
“As for being a servant, it’s just helping me clean up and stuff. So, what do you say?”

Just as they expected—do a month of chores and they’d be debt-free from that 1.08 million.
They understood the value of being debt-free.
All in all, not a bad deal.

“Uh… alright, deal!”
“So, what’s the idea?”

With that, Yun Xinghai and Xue Bufu both looked at Su Su.
Su Su grinned and picked up two pieces of walnut cake from the table:
“Here, eat some walnuts first—help those brains of yours. Hahaha…”

Other girls laugh with their hands covering their mouths, like delicate flowers.
Su Su? She laughs like “HAHAHA… GEGEGEE…”
Head thrown back—absolutely not lady-like.
And all while laughing at them.

Sometimes Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai felt like giving her a righteous punch!

“It’s really simple—just sell the stuff you snatched online.”
“Set a high price! That stuff’s crazy popular, and the Future Factory can’t keep up with demand.”
“Scarcity increases value. If you wait till everyone has it, it won’t sell as high.”
“So now’s the best time.”

!!!
Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai felt like they’d just been enlightened!
How did they not think of that?

Well, they would have thought of it…
But Chen Xing’s visit earlier had scrambled their brains.

Su Su had figured they’d realize it eventually—so she made sure to suggest it first!
That way she could milk them for a bit more. Ahh, happiness really is that simple~

The two guys were practically banging their heads against the wall.
They looked at each other, miserable.
Little did they know, this next month was going to be their real misery.

Following Su Su’s advice, they listed the item online.
Price: 4.5 million.
Less than ten seconds after posting, it was bought instantly!
The buyer even left a thrilled comment:
“Good people deserve 108 babies!”

Just shows how crazy people were about Chen Xing’s gear.

Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai exchanged a glance and saw pure joy in each other’s eyes!
Su Su saw it and burst out laughing:
“I told you to price it at 5 million. Idiots—you just lost 500k!”

The two were so happy a second ago.
Now? All joy gone.
That 500k felt like it had just flown away.

Late at night…
It was 2 a.m. Meow Meow had already gone to bed.
But Yun Xinghai and Xue Bufu were still at Su Su’s house.
That’s right—they were cleaning…

Su Su demanded spotless cleanliness.
“Ugh…”
Yun Xinghai yawned and let out a long sigh.
Xue Bufu shook his head helplessly.

Su Su lounged on the couch, watching dramas on her artifact system,
laughing while watching, while the guys just waited for her to go to bed
so they could sneak away.

But this girl… she was acting like she was cultivating immortality.
It was past 2 a.m., and she didn’t look the least bit sleepy.

“Hold up… Brother Xue…”
Yun Xinghai put down his rag and looked at Xue Bufu, confused.
Xue Bufu: ???
“What’s up?”
“This debt… wasn’t it you who borrowed the money…? Has nothing to do with me!”

Xue Bufu: !!!
He’s got a point!

“Very true, Xinghai!”
Su Su looked at Yun Xinghai with a grin.
Yun Xinghai’s face lit up with joy.
He could finally go home and sleep!

Su Su:
“Looks like the walnuts really worked.”
Yun Xinghai: …
Mood ruined instantly.

“Alright, you can leave. Little Black, you keep working.”

Xue Bufu glanced at Yun Xinghai, face full of despair:
“We trained under the same master—how can you be so heartless?”
Yun Xinghai rubbed his eyes:
“Good night!”
And vanished like a gust of wind.

Only the defeated Xue Bufu remained in the room.
He looked at Su Su on the couch.
Su Su gave him a gentle, ladylike smile.
Probably the most graceful she had ever looked.

Unfortunately…
She opened her mouth:
“What are you looking at? Get to work!”

Xue Bufu: crying internally…

In the Forbidden Land of Minghua:
Little Zero lay in Chen Xing’s arms, her little hands moving up and down,
exploring his body.
Chen Xing was totally confused.
What’s this girl doing?

“What are you doing, my dear? Looking for something?”
“Umm… nothing, nothing…”
Little Zero shyly pulled her hands back and snuggled into his chest.

But she was confused inside:
Weird… where’s the ‘third leg’ Su Su mentioned?
Why can’t I find it?

She sent a message to Su Su back in the Artifact Continent:
“Su Su~ you lied! There’s no third leg.”

Back in the Artifact Continent:
Xue Bufu finally finished cleaning, and Su Su told him he could go home to sleep.
She picked up a glass of juice and took a sip.
Just then, she received Little Zero’s message.

“PFFFT~”
The moment she read it, she spit juice everywhere—like a fountain!
Sprayed all over the floor she had just cleaned.

“HAHAHAHAHA…”
Su Su rolled on the couch, laughing like crazy.
Xue Bufu: ???
He was stunned. He just cleaned that floor!

Su Su noticed the dumbfounded Xue Bufu nearby,
and with a slightly embarrassed (but mostly evil) smile, pointed at the floor:
“Hehe… Little Black… get to work~”

Xue Bufu: inner scream WTF…

Minghua:
After a while, Little Zero received a reply from Su Su:
【I wasn’t lying! Just ask Chen Xing—he must be hiding it!】
【Tsk tsk… how can there be secrets between husband and wife?】
【Real couples should be totally open—no secrets at all.】
【Unless… he doesn’t love you!】

After sending those messages, Su Su was laughing so hard she almost passed out.

Xue Bufu kept wiping the floor with dead eyes,
regretting everything.

“Umm…”
Little Zero looked up at Chen Xing, confused by Su Su’s reply.
Why would Chen Xing hide it from her?
Why would there be secrets?
She didn’t understand…

Chen Xing smiled gently. Tonight, Little Zero was acting a little strange.
He patted her head lovingly:
“What is it? You want to ask something?”
“Honey…”
“Hmm, I’m here.”

Chen Xing hugged her tight and kissed her on the forehead.
Little Zero whispered softly:
“Where’s your third leg… Can I see it?”

Chen Xing: ???
