Ye Tianyi was practically dying of laughter. His girlfriend was pretty? Ask her whether she had the nerve to stand beside Mu Qianxue! She did not need to do anything else—just stand beside her. Did she dare? That girl was probably quite confident in herself, but after seeing Mu Qianxue, that confidence would likely never exist again.

Mu Qianxue's looks, along with that crucial, overwhelmingly noble and icy aura, would make any girl feel inferior! They would not even dare appear in the same frame as her. Otherwise, no matter how pretty they were, they would be reduced to Bystanders and decorations. It was truly merciless.

Only then did Ye Tianyi take a careful look at Mu Qianxue.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. She really was beautiful. Never mind whether it fit her or not—at this level, anything she wore would look good on her. Of course, she might look even better wearing nothing, hehe...

"Looks good. Buy it."

"Mm."

Mu Qianxue then entered the changing room again.

"Holy crap! This really feels like a boyfriend taking his girlfriend shopping."

Ye Tianyi could not help laughing to himself.

"Young man, you're truly blessed. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, unlike my son... sigh..."

The auntie speaking let out a sigh.

"What's wrong? He couldn't find a girlfriend?"

"Not exactly. It's just that last year, his girlfriend had her sixtieth birthday, and she even gave him a Ferrari. But she's older than I am... sigh, what a disgrace to the family. It's all my fault. Our family was poor, so my son developed such thoughts."

Ye Tianyi: "..."

"Auntie, don't be too upset. Your son is talented too! Plenty of people come from poor families, but how many of them can drive a Ferrari like your son?"

Ye Tianyi said as he gave her a thumbs-up.

At that moment, Mu Qianxue came out wearing another outfit.

"How is it?"

She asked Ye Tianyi again.

Ye Tianyi gave her a thumbs-up.

"Drop-dead gorgeous."

Then she went back inside again.

Strange...

As Mu Qianxue entered the changing room, she felt puzzled. Why did she show him every outfit after changing? She could tell for herself whether it fit or not.

Very soon, Mu Qianxue came out wearing an outfit she found rather suitable: a pure white turtleneck sweater, a white jacket, black pants, and little white sneakers. She looked dazzling. Add some jewelry, and she would be breathtakingly beautiful. Though she felt awkward wearing it at first, it was the first time in memory that she had worn this sort of outfit. It felt quite pretty and novel.

There were three outfits and three pairs of shoes altogether. Mu Qianxue silently went to stand by the entrance, waiting for Ye Tianyi to pay.

"The total is eighteen thousand one hundred. I'll round it down to eighteen thousand."

The auntie calculated the bill for Ye Tianyi.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

"Wait, three outfits cost eighteen thousand?"

What kind of damn store was this? He only had fifteen thousand on him.

"Yes, this is a designer store. Buying a few outfits for such a beautiful girlfriend is worth spending twenty thousand on. Besides, a handsome young man like you definitely doesn't lack money. If you lacked money, you wouldn't be able to find such a beautiful girlfriend, right?"

Ye Tianyi nodded stiffly.

He did lack money. Money was what he lacked most.

"Hold on, I forgot my card. I'll withdraw some money with my phone." Ye Tianyi hurriedly sat down to the side and sent Shi Jiayi a WeChat message.

"Beautiful Miss Eleven, lend me some money (pitiful)."

Ye Tianyi even attached a little emoji afterward.

Shi Jiayi was watching a show in her office. Upon seeing Ye Tianyi's message, she replied, "What this fairy lacks most is money. Got none."

"Come on, you definitely have some."

"I have two hundred and eighty yuan on me. I'm waiting for payday tomorrow. No money."

Ye Tianyi: "..."

Shi Jiayi was a master, after all. She was also the Heavenly Water Empire's only Space Attribute expert, yet she only had two hundred and eighty yuan on her? Fine, she was awesome!

Ye Tianyi glanced over at Ye Xian'er's contact. She was definitely recovering from her injuries, so he did not want to disturb her. Who else could he borrow money from?

Li Bang! Brother Bang Ying!

Ye Tianyi quickly sent a message. "Bang Ying, your bro is short on money, so, um..."

Five seconds later...

"Zhi Maibao has received forty thousand yuan."

At that instant, Ye Tianyi shed tears of gratitude.

He had decided! He would definitely nurture Li Bang properly! That guy was such a loyal friend.

"Thanks. You won't need to pay for the next two months."

Then Ye Tianyi walked over, paid the bill, and carried the clothes outside.

Whoosh—

Mu Qianxue stretched out her hand, and the clothes in his hands vanished. They had probably all gone into her Space Ring.

"Can you help me find a place to stay now?"

Mu Qianxue asked.

"I can, but do you eat?"

Ye Tianyi was racking his brains to swindle treasures out of her.

"No." Mu Qianxue answered indifferently.

As martial artists grew stronger and stronger, their craving for food, water, and rest would lessen. Take Ye Tianyi now—although he was only at the Body Refining Realm Fifth Stage, he could go half a month without food or water and not die. The truly badass ones might not need them for years...

That was why Mu Qianxue said no. She had no craving for things like food.

"Actually, I think that since you're in the Human World now, and you used to be part of the Demon Race, right?"

Mu Qianxue knew that when she released that power, her identity as a member of the Demon Race had been exposed. But she did not think it mattered.

"So?"

She asked calmly.

"So, you don't know where you should go now. You can stay in the Human World for the time being. I'll help you too, and you can slowly recover your memories. There won't be any danger either. But while you're in the Human World, you need to adapt to this place. Like normal people, eat three meals a day. If you think what I'm saying makes sense, you can listen. If not, then don't."

Ye Tianyi said.

Damn it! He had to swindle her! If he got his hands on them, those would be treasures worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions—priceless treasures that could not be bought! Every extra swindle meant extra profit. He could not let her slip away.

Mu Qianxue thought it over slightly and found it quite reasonable. She indeed needed to recover her memories in this Human World. Besides, she found the Human World rather wondrous and liked it quite a bit, so she felt it made sense.

"I understand. Then what should I eat?"

"That depends on how many valuable things you give me. The more valuable they are, the better I'll take you out to eat."

Ye Tianyi grinned.

Mu Qianxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Why did she always feel as if she had been tricked? But she did not understand.

"People regard food as their Heaven. Shouldn't eating be the most ordinary and cheapest thing? Why does it need to be so expensive?"

Mu Qianxue asked in confusion.

"Who said that? Ordinary ingredients are cheap, but take pork, for example. Its price has risen several times over. Do you know how outrageous that is? We humans are so poor that we've started eating wild game and monster meat. Do you think food is cheap? So many people risk going to your Demon Beast Domain for money, just to buy things. Of course, if you want to eat something nasty, I'll treat you, and it won't cost much. But if you want delicious food, it really is expensive. A commoner like me has never gotten to eat good food."

Ye Tianyi said with a sigh.

"Ding... Deceiving a young lady is scumbag behavior. Swagger Value +50000."

I honestly feel that readers are tired of those deliberately Pretentious Face-Slapping scenes now and instead prefer Daily Novels. At least, that's how I feel. Seeing forced showing off makes me sick. This is a half-daily novel—do you all think there are too many daily-life scenes? I don't know how much I should write...
