"Can she be eaten?"
Of course she could.
Xiao Yexuan nodded, intending to have Ning Rongrong take Bai Chenxiang back and clean her up properly.
But Ning Rongrong was too impatient. Her vast Soul Power lifted Bai Chenxiang off the ground as she hooked her arm through Xiao Yexuan's and said coaxingly:
"Brother Yexuan, look at the state you've left her in. She'll need quite some time to recover. I'm giving up my room for her to use.
"You know how tight our cultivation time is. I need to cultivate tonight, too. Since she's occupying the Simulation Pod now, why don't you give me my reward first~!"
She really was a tormenting Little Demoness.
Xiao Yexuan thought it over. She had a point.
Besides, he would have trouble finding time tonight, too. He might as well make sensible use of his time and become a master of time management.
The two brought Bai Chenxiang into Ning Rongrong's room.
After tossing Bai Chenxiang into the Simulation Pod, Ning Rongrong impatiently entwined herself with Xiao Yexuan.
If Bai Chenxiang came out now and saw this scene, that would certainly be a thrill.
"Just now... what was that place?"
Two hours later, Bai Chenxiang emerged from the Simulation Pod.
Only Xiao Yexuan remained in the room.
As for Ning Rongrong, she lay in a sorry state inside her bedroom.
Her expression was contorted, as though she had experienced something incomparably painful.
Yet her eyes were utterly satisfied, like a well-fed kitten's.
"As you saw, this is the special equipment at my Maple Forest Evening, the Simulation Pod. Inside, you can simulate any opponent and environment to improve your strength."
Xiao Yexuan smiled gently. After witnessing the Simulation Pod's power, anyone who wasn't a fool would smash their pots and sell their iron to afford a stay at Maple Forest Evening.
"It really is... impressive!"
Bai Chenxiang lightly bit her lip, her words carrying a double meaning.
She had not forgotten how Xiao Yexuan's Lightning Five Consecutive Whips had not only caught up with her, but knocked her down as well.
It had trampled her nobility into the ground and ground it underfoot.
"Well, beautiful miss, do you intend to rent a room? There's a promotion for renting. You can draw..."
Xiao Yexuan was steering her toward renting a room, but before he could finish his introduction, Bai Chenxiang interrupted him, blushing slightly as she said:
"I... I don't have that much money..."
Renting a room cost one Gold Soul Coin a day. For the cash-strapped Speed Clan, that was too expensive.
She couldn't squander her family's money like that.
Was the Speed Clan really this poor?
Xiao Yexuan truly could not understand how a clan with a Soul Douluo could be so poor.
Still, Xiao Yexuan was in no hurry. Wasn't there still Tang Yuehua?
These past few days, Tang Yuehua had frequently gone to squeeze value out of Tang Hao.
To help Tang Yuehua draw good things, he sent her money in batches of hundreds of thousands.
And Tang Yuehua had long since reached the limit on points she could obtain through topping up.
The money was rotting away in storage.
Since Tang Yuehua had invited Bai Chenxiang over, how could she possibly not help fund her?
So Xiao Yexuan gave a faint smile and said gently:
"Beautiful miss, weren't you looking for Tang Yuehua? Let me take you to her first."
"Yes! Aunt Yuehua is so lucky to be able to live here."
Bai Chenxiang spoke enviously, also hoping that Tang Yuehua could help her out and let her stay here for a few days.
"Little Xiangxiang, you're finally here."
Tang Yuehua welcomed Bai Chenxiang with immense warmth, while her eyes were also filled with guilt.
Bai Chenxiang was Tang San's younger cousin, but wasn't she also her niece?
Through her contact with the Four Single-Attribute Clans, she had learned of their hardships.
"Aunt... Yuehua." This was also Bai Chenxiang's first time meeting this aunt of hers, and her beautiful, noble, refined bearing struck a chord in her heart.
She had thought herself the noblest, most formidable person in the world.
It turned out that, in the little Speed Clan, she had been gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well.
A mere landlord at little Maple Forest Evening could instantly knock her down while she was moving at high speed. This place was far from ordinary.
"Mr. Landlord, has Little Xiangxiang rented a room?" Tang Yuehua asked, looking at Xiao Yexuan.
Xiao Yexuan shook his head. "She thinks it's too expensive and is still hesitating."
"What's there to hesitate about? Mr. Landlord, put all these one million Gold Soul Coins toward a top-up!"
With immense generosity, Tang Yuehua brought out a great pile of money.
"One million... Gold Soul Coins!"
Bai Chenxiang's eyes went wide. Spending every day scrimping and saving, when had she ever seen so much money?
"Aunt Yuehua, you absolutely can't! So much money-how can you spend it all... all here?"
Bai Chenxiang hurriedly refused. She thought renting for a month first would be plenty. Afterward, she would work hard to earn money and pay her own rent.
One million Gold Soul Coins meant one million days. Wouldn't that last until she was in her grave?
It was simply too wasteful.
"Little Xiangxiang, it seems you still don't know Maple Forest Evening's secret."
Tang Yuehua smiled elegantly, then explained how Soul Bones could be drawn.
One million might seem like a lot, but compared with the treasures one could draw, it was nothing but a heap of useless gold!
Bai Chenxiang agreed without hesitation.
After all, she was offering far too much.
This time, Xiao Yexuan also got his wish, obtaining 2,400 points.
He could finally unlock the Heaven Dou City instance.
Qian Renxue, and the Tianshui Girl Group, here I come!
