Sneaking a Taste, I Have the Formula Money Ready

Shen Qingling had just opened his mouth and taken a sip when he heard the word "gambling" from Zi Ji and immediately sprayed it out!

Shen Qingling said in disbelief, "She actually went gambling!"

Gu Yuena took a tissue and helped Shen Qingling wipe the water from the corner of his mouth.

Bi Ji looked at the affectionate pair with satisfaction and immediately explained, "Earlier, Zi Ji had nothing to do and went to a casino. She got hooked after playing once and has now become a regular there, practically an honored guest. Quite a few people come to watch her gambling matches, and some even place bets. From what I can tell, the casino is currently paying Zi Ji to go there."

Paying Zi Ji? It seemed every one of them was doing quite well for themselves.

Since they could all thrive so well, it seemed the human world suited them.

"What about you?" Shen Qingling asked.

"I just grow flowers and plants, drink tea, and don't really have any other interests," Bi Ji said casually.

Among the fierce beasts, Bi Ji was probably the most laid-back. She neither fought nor competed, simply living in the estate.

Before Shen Qingling could return to the conversation, Gu Yuena suddenly put her finger into her mouth. "Cough, cough. Na'er, what are you doing?"

"An accident, purely an accident." Gu Yuena stuck out her tongue. It really had been an accident. She had already wiped her mouth clean, but her hand slipped, and her index finger went right in.

Shen Qingling did not think much of it and continued talking with Bi Ji. Gu Yuena, however, turned her back to them, parted her red lips, and sucked on her index finger.

My husband's taste~

Doing this did not make her a pervert. She was merely savoring her husband's scent. They were husband and wife, so this was perfectly normal.

Thinking that, Gu Yuena felt that everything was perfectly reasonable. Her mood even began to brighten as she started considering what she needed to do that night to satisfy her husband.

Besides that, she also had to guard against the Heaven Dou Crown Prince. A man who coveted her husband was far too dangerous. She had not expected there to truly be people in this world who liked men.

Just as her fighting spirit soared, someone suddenly patted her shoulder. She jolted in fright and hurriedly pulled her finger from her mouth.

"Na'er!" Shen Qingling looked utterly confused. Why had she turned around?

"Husband, what is it?" Gu Yuena asked, guilt written all over her face.

Seriously, why had her husband finished talking at this moment?

Ah, he didn't notice, did he?

What if my husband misunderstands and thinks I'm a pervert? What then?

Shen Qingling smiled. "Nothing. I was just wondering what naughty thing you were doing behind my back."

At once, Gu Yuena blushed. "Who—who was doing anything naughty? Don't talk nonsense."

"Fine, fine. I'm talking nonsense." Shen Qingling lightly scraped the tip of Gu Yuena's nose.

"Hmph." Gu Yuena gave a coquettish snort.

Gu Yuena secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, her husband had not noticed her little move. Otherwise, she would have been mortified.

She turned her face aside and pretended to adjust her collar, trying hard to suppress the heat in her cheeks. Yet the corners of her lips could not help but curl upward.

Just then, light footsteps sounded from the courtyard gate. A purple figure drifted in, humming an unknown tune under her breath. Her steps were light, and one glance showed that she was in an excellent mood. It was Zi Ji.

The moment she crossed the threshold of the main hall, she looked up and saw Gu Yuena and Shen Qingling seated at the head. Her steps abruptly halted, and her tune came to a sudden stop.

She quickly composed herself, stepped forward, and bowed. "My lord, Dragon Husband, when did you arrive?"

"Not long ago." Shen Qingling raised a brow at her, a smile on his lips. "The casino's big star—did you have good luck today? You seem to be in a great mood. And just call me Big Brother."

Having been seen through at once, Zi Ji's cheeks flushed slightly. She scratched her head awkwardly. "What big star? I just go there to look around when I have nothing to do. Mostly, it's to make money."

She still felt a little embarrassed. She had originally wanted to hide it from her lord, but it turned out her lord had known all along.

Fortunately, her lord and Big Brother did not seem angry. They seemed to find it amusing instead.

"The casino saw that I won a lot, so they simply hired me to sit there and gave me thirty percent of the revenue. I don't even have to do anything. As long as I sit there, people come to gamble. I make quite a bit."

Zi Ji simply came clean, her tone carrying a trace of pride. "Since I'm idle anyway, I might as well earn some money to buy things and help with the household expenses."

Gu Yuena glanced at her and spoke blandly. "Playing is fine, but don't let it interfere with proper business. If you fall too deeply into that circle, it won't end well."

"This subordinate understands!" Zi Ji quickly nodded, inwardly relieved. She had thought her lord would blame her for neglecting her duties, but it had passed just like that.

That meant that now that her lord was with Big Brother, her lord's mood was no longer like before.

They had once only had the relationship of superior and subordinate, but now her lord had changed completely.

Bi Ji smiled and added, "Zi Ji has a sharp eye and good luck. Over the past half year, she has actually earned more than we did from selling soul bones. With her here, we won't have to worry at all about our expenses in Heaven Dou City."

Shen Qingling nodded, finding it rather amusing.

These fierce beasts had each found their own way to make a living after arriving in the human world.

Of course, selling soul bones was certainly faster than making money at a casino, especially powerful soul bones.

Soul bones were not very useful to them. At most, they were something to chew on, just like for Red King.

Zi Ji rubbed her hands together and leaned forward eagerly. "Big Brother, my lord, when are you planning to have children? I've already prepared the formula money."

Shen Qingling froze. The teacup in his hand paused midair, catching him completely off guard.

Children? He had never really thought carefully about it. Although Gu Yuena mentioned it every day, he had always felt it was still too early.

Gu Yuena, however, rolled her eyes, her voice tinged with impatience and resentment. "Children? Your Big Brother hides from me every day and refuses to fulfill his duties as a husband. Where would children come from?"

"Na'er!" Shen Qingling's expression stiffened slightly as he hurriedly stopped her. Saying such things in front of Bi Ji and Zi Ji was far too improper.

"What, did I say anything wrong?" Gu Yuena turned and glared at him, her eyes filled with grievance. "Every time I take the initiative, you make excuses. Either you say you need to cultivate, or you say you need to take care of your disciples. If I hadn't forced the issue, we wouldn't have done it more than a few times by now."

She spoke with complete confidence, not feeling the slightest embarrassment.

Zi Ji and Bi Ji exchanged glances, both suppressing their laughter. Sensibly, they lowered their heads and pretended to look at the table, not daring to interfere in their lord's family matters.

Shen Qingling held his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

It was not that he was truly unwilling. Gu Yuena simply had far too much energy, and every time, she wore him out for several days.

If this continued, his cultivation progress would not even keep up with the rate of his exhaustion.

But he truly could not say that in front of his subordinates.

"All right, all right. We'll talk about it later."

Shen Qingling could only soften his tone and put the matter aside for now.

Gu Yuena snorted and turned her face away, looking as though she were saying, "You know perfectly well."

If they did it every day, there would definitely be signs within less than a year. With the bloodlines of the two of them, the child they had would be the future young lord destined to lead the soul beast clan.
