Fierce Beasts Begin Making Money

"Lord, what are we supposed to do?"

"Make money."

"Your first goal is to make money. Make as much money as you possibly can for me."

"You have no idea—the Dragon Queen despised me. She despised me for being poor."

Gu Yuena looked as though she were on the verge of tears.

Of course, she did not mention that it was because she ate too much.

Saying that would damage her image in front of the fierce beasts.

A perfect person like her was actually being despised by her wife. How heartbreaking was that?

She had to reclaim the dignity of being a husband from the God Realm.

Di Tian had a strange feeling.

Was he going to become the sacrificial victim of this plan?

Make money?

How were they supposed to make money?

"Go call Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji over."

"Yes, Lord."

Di Tian moved quickly. Before long, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Xiong Jun all arrived.

"Lord," the three said in unison.

"Mm, you're here."

"Get yourselves ready. We're heading to the human world to join the plan to pursue the Dragon Queen—and then make money."

"Make money?"

Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Zi Ji looked at one another, their faces full of confusion.

They had never known what money was.

"Lord, can money be eaten?"

Xiong Jun scratched his head and asked in a deep, rumbling voice.

"Eat your head!"

Gu Yuena shot him a glare.

"Money can buy braised pork knuckles, spiced beef, and every kind of delicious food! Without money, I can't even afford meals. How am I supposed to pursue the Dragon Queen then?"

"The Dragon Queen despised me for having no money."

The more Gu Yuena spoke, the more wronged she felt.

"If you don't help me make money and the Dragon Queen runs away, the Soul Beast race will have no future!"

The four exchanged looks and immediately turned solemn.

The matter of their lord's wife was a matter of the heavens.

Forget making money—even if they had to climb mountains of blades and dive into seas of fire, they would never hesitate.

"Rest assured, Lord. We'll definitely earn enough money and let you marry the Dragon Queen in grand style!"

Di Tian was the first to state his position.

"That's right, Di Tian is right!"

Xiong Jun clenched his fists, brimming with motivation as the muscles all over his body bulged.

"I can make money with Healing Technique."

Bi Ji spoke gently.

"I think I could win quite a lot at a casino."

Zi Ji licked her lips, a trace of charm flashing through her eyes.

Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. It's settled, then."

"Come with me now. We're going to Nuoding City."

"Within three days, I want to see plenty of money. At the very least... earn fifty Gold Soul Coins first."

"Yes!" the four answered in unison.

"Mm."

Gu Yuena nodded.

"Let's go, hurry up. I need to get back before dawn. I can't let Yifeng discover where I went."

The five turned into five streaks of light and vanished from the Star Dou Great Forest in an instant.

Near dawn, they arrived outside Nuoding City.

Gu Yuena stopped and instructed them:

"Remember: don't expose your Soul Beast identities, don't casually hurt anyone, and don't cause trouble."

"Making money comes first in everything."

"Di Tian, keep an eye on the three of them. Don't let Xiong Jun tear down someone's house."

"Yes, Lord."

Di Tian helplessly glanced at the eager Xiong Jun.

"I'll head back to the academy first."

Gu Yuena waved her hand.

"Meet here in three days. If you can't earn money, go back to the Star Dou Great Forest yourselves. Don't come see me."

With that, she dashed into Nuoding City like a wisp of smoke.

The Four Great Fierce Beasts were left standing outside the city, staring at one another.

"So... how are we supposed to make money now?"

Zi Ji spoke first.

Di Tian pondered for a moment, then began assigning tasks.

"Xiong Jun, you're strong. Go to the dock and carry cargo. You should be able to earn quite a few Copper Soul Coins in a day."

"Bi Ji, open a small medical clinic in the city and specialize in difficult illnesses."

"Zi Ji, go to the biggest casino in the city. Watch yourself—don't win them into bankruptcy."

"I'll look into the situation in Nuoding City and see whether there are any other ways to make money."

"Meet here in three days."

"Understood!"

The three accepted their orders and entered the city separately.

Xiong Jun excitedly ran to the dock and found the foreman.

"I want to carry cargo!"

The foreman looked him over. Seeing his towering frame and solid muscles, he nodded.

"Fine. One Copper Soul Coin per sack. You'll be paid when you're done."

Without another word, Xiong Jun lifted a two-hundred-pound sack in one hand and easily slung it over his shoulder.

One trip, two trips, three trips...

In less than two hours, he had carried away all the cargo at the dock.

The foreman stared in dumbfounded disbelief, trembling as he counted out fifty Copper Soul Coins and handed them over.

"Just this little?"

Xiong Jun frowned. This amount could not even buy one pork knuckle.

"That's already a lot! Most people can only earn ten Copper Soul Coins a day!"

The foreman hurriedly explained.

Xiong Jun curled his lip and calculated inwardly. At this rate, he would not earn even one Gold Soul Coin in three days.

No, he had to think of something.

His eyes suddenly lit up when he spotted a quarry in the distance.

The stones there were heavier. He should be able to earn more money.

Meanwhile, because Bi Ji had no money, she could not open a medical clinic. She could only set up a street stall to treat patients first, intending to open a clinic once she had enough money.

Bi Ji's medical skills were superb. No matter the illness, the moment she stepped in, the treatment took effect immediately.

Before half a day had passed, a long line had formed outside her medical clinic.

Countless patients came by reputation, each carrying a money pouch.

Bi Ji was so busy that she could barely cope, yet she wore a smile on her face.

She could help others while earning money for her lord to pursue the Dragon Queen.

Zi Ji, meanwhile, arrived at the largest casino in Nuoding City.

She used just a trace of spiritual power to see through the dice results.

In less than two hours, she had won a whole bag full of money.

The casino owner's face turned green. He had just called for people to make a move, but when a Soul Emperor named Shu Jiya prepared to attack, he was immediately punched away.

The casino owner turned pale with fright. He did not dare offend such a powerful figure and could only watch helplessly as she left with the money.

Di Tian made a round through the city and discovered an even more profitable opportunity.

There was a mine near Nuoding City where mining accidents often occurred, and Soul Beasts frequently appeared as well.

The mine owner was recruiting guards at a high price.

Di Tian went directly to the mine owner and negotiated a rate of ten Gold Soul Coins per month.

Seeing that Di Tian was exceptionally strong, the owner agreed immediately.

The main reason was that Di Tian was huge and imposing, making him look reassuringly safe.

Mines easily made enemies and required expensive guards.

Notting Academy's dormitory.

The moment Shen Yifeng woke up, he discovered Gu Yuena squatting beside his bed and watching him.

"You got back so quickly?"

"Mm-hm. What else?"

Gu Yuena was no longer worried at all. She was simply waiting to collect the results three days later.

It did not matter how much money there was. As long as they could make money, that was enough.

"So quickly? Did you find a way to make money?"

"I did, but we need to wait three days. In three days, I'll give you a huge surprise."

It would definitely be a huge surprise.

"Forget it. I can't be bothered to care about you."

Shen Yifeng had no idea what Gu Yuena was up to, but judging from her expression, she seemed extremely confident.

She couldn't possibly have called all the fierce beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest over to work and earn money for her while she lay around collecting it, could she?
