I Still Prefer You Aloof and Quiet

The other party ignored him, so Wuma Xiu yawned and simply lay down on the table.

Okay, looks like a cool and aloof academic genius.

He lay there for a while, when suddenly a voice came from beside him.

"Bai Qiuyu."

His surname is Bai, and he also has white hair—could he really be the other person's son?

Even if he's not the son, he's definitely family.

Wuma Xiu's ears twitched, he sat up straight, and looked at the other person.

"Hmm, after hearing so many legends about the God of God of Wealth from you, do you like him a lot?"

The response to this sentence came many times faster than before. Bai Qiuyu turned around to face him, and her eyes, which had been devoid of emotion, now seemed to light up.

"Of course. Do you like the God of Wealth too?"

Wuma Xiu nodded.

"Do you know anything else about him? Can you tell me?" Bai Qiuyu pressed.

Wuma Xiu never expected that his casual question would transform the other person from a cold and taciturn academic genius into a chatterbox.

Bai Qiuyu leaned closer, her eyes shining, her tone filled with an undisguised urgency:

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what else do you know about the God of God of Wealth?"

"He must be in a lot of pain."

Bai Qiuyu was stunned, her interest froze on her face, and she asked in confusion:

"Why? Why is He in pain? Isn't He God? Shouldn't God be happy?"

In the eyes of countless living beings in the world, Gods are omnipotent and it seems that nothing can stump them.

But in reality, even Gods have their Gods troubles.

For example, why doesn't Goddess of Beauty like me? Why is the God of Time so cold? Why hasn't God of Wine come to befriend me yet? Why is the Moon God so reclusive, and when will he finally come out?

In short, even Gods have their own unsolvable troubles.

"Because of wishes, or rather, desires."

The pursuit of immortality and eternal life is something generally only the super-rich or those at the pinnacle of society seek. For most living beings, who struggle even to survive, what they yearn for more than the elusive prospect of eternal life is simply a comfortable life.

Therefore, the God of God of Wealth has a large number of followers.

Because of these beliefs, the God of Wealth 'Divine Power has increased rapidly.

But this also brought Him a fatal problem.

So, why exactly?

Bai Qiuyu grew anxious and reached out to shake Wuma Xiu.

He was now eager to know the reason, but he noticed that the other person was getting distracted again as they were talking.

"Because He has heard all the most greedy prayers of humankind, and has witnessed countless instances of people being obsessed with money, wicked for money, and betraying their conscience and family for money. He coldly observes one transaction after another: exchanging youth for windfall gains, health for wealth, and conscience for luxury..."

"So, He wasn't happy at all."

Wuma Xiu then glanced at Bai Qiuyu and noticed that the other woman, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, had suddenly wilted, like a leaf struck by frost.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was bullying someone.

"How could this happen?" Bai Qiuyu murmured.

For the rest of the day, Bai Qiuyu was completely listless. Seeing his dejected appearance, every teacher who came up to him couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?" but the answer he always received was, "Nothing."

He still looked half-dead.

Many students looked at Wuma Xiu from afar with a sense of awe and fear in their eyes.

Although they didn't hear exactly what the two said, they both saw that it was Wuma Xiu who said something that made the White Great Demon King so subdued.

Looking at these gazes, Wuma Xiu could only say one thing:

Ah, it's not what you think; I'm innocent.

After school, Wuma Xiu picked up his backpack and walked out. When he arrived at his little spaceship, he looked back helplessly.

"I said, what are you doing following me?"

Bai Qiuyu had a straight face and was very serious:

"Since you know those things, you must have many books about the God of God of Wealth at home. I'd like to go see them."

"No."

I don't believe it.

"Fine, don't believe me then. I'm going home, let go."

Wuma Xiu stood in front of the cabin door, trying to pull his clothes out, but the other party was ridiculously strong and wouldn't let go no matter what he did.

I can pay with Star Coins.

"Thanks, but I don't need any more Star Coins."

"Then I can introduce you to my dad."

"Thanks, but I'm not interested in your dad."

Why would a grown man like him be interested in someone else's father? He doesn't have any special fetishes.

"No, I want to go with you."

Bai Qiuyu was determined and showed no sign of sticking with him.

Wuma Xiu was completely at a loss.

He was filled with regret. If he had known he would attract such a persistent nuisance, he shouldn't have mentioned the God of Wealth in the first place.

[Host, please rest assured that I will take over the driving. Also, I've already arranged your home; everything has been tidied up inside and out, ensuring you'll have a comfortable and worry-free stay.]

Su Qingci's voice rang in my mind at just the right moment.

From the moment he started school, he arranged everything perfectly, from houses and spaceships to all sorts of other miscellaneous matters.

Thinking of this, Su Qingci couldn't help but sigh to herself.

The poor host, who has lived this long and only now has a house that truly belongs to him. How can he be more pitiful than him?

And now, she's been clung to by this person.

Su Qingci didn't know how to evaluate Bai Qiuyu.

The other party seemed only interested in matters related to the God of God of Wealth, showing no interest in anything else.

However, as long as the other party doesn't harm the host, he'll turn a blind eye. But if he remembers correctly, the God of Wealth is also one of his host's aliases.

Su Qingci quickly brought up the Card Pool and glanced at it. Sure enough, there was a card with the words "God of Wealth" written on it.

Okay, confirmed, it's indeed the host's alternate identity.

Tsk tsk.

Su Qingci couldn't help but imagine how Bai Qiuyu would react if he knew about this.

For some reason, he felt a strange urge to see his host's true identity revealed.

Unfortunately, the host has no intention of drawing cards right now, and doesn't know if they'll be able to draw this card next time.

"God of God of Wealth, I would like to make a wish."

Su Qingci faced the Card Pool, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and looked devout. Just as he closed his eyes, the "God of Wealth" card deep within the Card Pool lit up briefly.

At the same time, Wuma Xiu felt a chill run down his spine. His heart skipped a beat, and a very bad feeling rose within him.

This feeling is probably like there are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me.

But thinking about these things now is useless; the most important thing is to expose this person.

Wuma Xiu tried hard to push Bai Qiuyu off him, saying as he did so:

"Bai, I still prefer your previous aloof and taciturn persona. Can you change back?"
