Really Knows How to Enjoy Life

In the spacious, bright, warmly decorated lobby, several beautiful tea tables stood in the corners.

A few beautiful wealthy ladies sat scattered around, chatting lazily.

When they saw the youngsters had come again, amusement flashed in their eyes.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun could already handle the teasing from these rich older sisters without changing expression. They still did not dare let their eyes wander, though. After spending so long with Little Xi, they had learned to respect women.

Couldn't learn? No problem! Little Xi's sandbag-sized fists would teach them well.

Heaven knew that the first time they had come here with Little Xi, they had not even known where to put their limbs, their faces reddened from all the teasing.

"The little ones are here to see Mosna again. What handsome faces." The latter remark was clearly aimed at Shen Ranxi and Oscar. Ma Hongjun pouted indignantly and muttered, "Pretty boys really do have it easy."

Shen Ranxi had dark brows, long lashes, and golden eyes that shone like sunlight. When she did not smile, she seemed slightly aloof and came with a sense of oppression.

At that moment, her golden eyes curved into crescents as she greeted everyone. "It's only been a few days, but you sisters have become even prettier."

Who wouldn't be happy upon seeing their wealthy patrons?! Once they were happy, the gold coins in her pockets would start clinking away.

"What a sweet mouth."

"She's beautiful too! If she were a boy, and I were a few years younger, I'd definitely chase her down!"

"Hehe, keep dreaming!" a woman said with a coquettish laugh.

When they arrived at her private lounge, Shen Ranxi had someone bring over food and drinks.

"Sister Xi, you're so good. There's finally something to eat." Ma Hongjun eagerly grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Delicate, adorable little pastries sat on crystal-clear plates. Since they were serving women, everything naturally had to be as small and exquisite as possible. Ma Hongjun complained about how many of these pastries he would need to eat before he was full.

Oscar: "..." He rolled his eyes. What an uncultured fellow.

Shen Ranxi: "..." Zhu Bajie eating Ginseng Fruit, was it?

Feifei used his tail to tickle Shen Ranxi's face. Shen Ranxi looked at him questioningly, only for him to tug her to the side.

Shen Ranxi asked helplessly in a low voice, "What is it?"

Feifei looked serious, his round pupils filled with obvious anticipation as he looked at her. "I want to go look around."

Shen Ranxi said, "Let's go."

But he tapped her neck again, looking at the pastries to signal that she should bring them along.

This little ancestor... Shen Ranxi helplessly turned back to pick up the pastries. "Wait here for a while. I'll be back soon. If you want anything to eat, just call for the attendant outside."

As they walked down the corridor, refreshing fragrances wafted out from the rows of rooms, while handsome attendants moved back and forth inside.

Feifei stared at those beauty treatments, his eyes widening in shock. He had never seen such things before.

His mouth hung slightly open. He did not even notice when a pastry fell from his mouth. Shen Ranxi swiftly caught it, stuffed it back into his mouth, and helped him close it.

Amused by his country-bumpkin look, she soon arrived at Sister Mosna's room.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

When Mosna saw Shen Ranxi enter, she sat up with a face mask still on. "How was the Soul Ring you gained this time?"

Shen Ranxi leaned against the door with her arms crossed over her lean but powerful body. "Very good!"

Remembering the anticipation in Feifei's eyes earlier, she called over an attendant and told him to take Feifei for a full beauty and hair treatment, putting it on her tab.

"Use the best products on him!"

The attendant froze for two seconds, then saw the owner's confirming look. He hurriedly came to his senses, picked up the fox-like Little Beast, and carried him out.

Excitement appeared in Feifei's eyes.

Those people had looked so comfortable while being pressed and kneaded just now... And those things smelled so nice...

After Feifei was taken away, Mosna brought out this month's accounts with her face mask still on.

Shen Ranxi looked over the accounts. This month's revenue had hit another record high. Excitement flashed through her eyes, but she kept herself composed and asked, "Sister Mosna, what about this month's information?"

Mosna looked at the little monster before her with a complicated gaze. At only ten years old, Shen Ranxi had so many strange ideas in her head, and she could even turn them into reality.

Everything in this building had been designed by Shen Ranxi alone. Mosna had merely offered a few suggestions. Back then, Shen Ranxi had ordered the attendants to gather and write down everything they overheard in their daily lives. Mosna had been full of doubts, wondering what use such an order could possibly have. It was not until Shen Ranxi used some vague bits of information to intercept and buy a batch of extremely valuable medicinal herbs before they entered the market that Mosna realized Shen Ranxi had been collecting intelligence this way.

Looking at the papers in her hand, Shen Ranxi thought, Never underestimate these noble ladies. Sometimes, they know more than anyone else. When people relax, they often let slip things they consider unimportant. And the nobles' arrogance means they don't even see these attendants, giving me the chance to learn useful information.

Dean Teacher and the others were powerful, but they had offended the Balak Kingdom and did not fit in with the other academies. They suffered heavy exclusion, and with the teachers' pride, they disdained to ask others for information.

People could not live at the bottom of a well. Some treasures would not simply come to you while you sat at home. Some things could only be learned after reaching a certain level.

Eh... Shen Ranxi raised a brow when she saw this piece of information. There was actually an auction, and it was happening this afternoon. Wasn't that perfect!

She set down the papers in her hand, stood up, and smiled at Sister Mosna. "Thank you for taking such care, Sister. I brought several more flowers this time."

Mosna smiled gently. "This is my shop too, so of course I should put effort into it. Besides, compared to what you've done, all I can do is manage it."

"The shop's business is getting better and better. Should we open a branch?"

Shen Ranxi pondered for a while, then said, "No. We're taking the private custom-service route. If we open too many shops, our attention will be spread thin. We should focus on letting every rich older sister enjoy exclusive service."

That was how they could make a fortune... Shen Ranxi cackled wickedly in her heart.

Mosna removed her face mask, walked over, and rubbed Shen Ranxi's head. "You little rascal! You were so busy in the forest, so stop worrying about getting flowers for me."

Shen Ranxi only smiled without replying. "Flowers suit beautiful women. I still have things to do, so I'll be going first."

Mosna called her back and took a box down from the bookshelf. "The batch of parts you wanted has arrived. What did you order them for?"

Shen Ranxi said, "Little Bell likes playing with these. I'm giving them to her to pass the time."

When Shen Ranxi returned to the lounge, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were fooling around. Little Bell sat eating pastries, occasionally tossing a huge eye-roll their way.

The moment she saw her sister return, she immediately threw herself forward and hugged Shen Ranxi. "Sister, you're finally back!"

Supporting Little Bell by the shoulders, Shen Ranxi said to the two clowns, "Let's go. We'll eat first!"

When she went to pick up Feifei, his face was covered in something, a straw was between his teeth, and a handsome man was giving him a spa treatment. He was so comfortable that he was almost asleep.

Even when they left, he clung to Shen Ranxi's arm, reluctant to part with the place.

The corner of her mouth twitched... He knew how to enjoy life even better than I do. She could only say, "I'll bring you again next time!"

"Cackle, cackle." Only then did Feifei let go, beaming with joy.

...Shen Ranxi fell silent for two seconds. Where had he learned that sound now? It was a little evil...
