Chapter 179: Chapter 179: If You Won’t Lend It, Then You Won’t (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)

"What else could I do? My abilities are limited; I can only bring Xiao Jinsheng with me," Caicai replied.

Let alone taking Xiao Jinsheng alone.

With its current points, it’s already drowning in debt.

It doesn’t even have enough points to go to the Mist Continent itself, let alone bring Xiao Jinsheng.

Caicai pestered Lou Yan Zhi, "Come on, lend me some more, will you? You’ve already lent me so much."

"I don’t have any points," Lou Yan Zhi answered.

"You do. You absolutely do!" Caicai refused to believe him.

Seeing Lou Yan Zhi remain unmoved, it unleashed its ultimate move: "You mean you can’t even lend me another 200,000 points?"

Lou Yan Zhi said nothing.

"Fine, no loans then." Caicai sighed, looking dejected.

Just as Lou Yan Zhi was surprised at how quickly it gave up,

he saw the face drawn on Caicai’s scallion-white surface, grinning cheekily at him. "If you don’t loan me this time, you won’t be getting back the million I borrowed before."

Lou Yan Zhi: ???

"You’re a system; don’t you have a bit of integrity?" Lou Yan Zhi exclaimed in shock.

"A system makes the rules. If the rules don’t work, just change them as necessary," Caicai chuckled mischievously.

Lou Yan Zhi waved at it, exasperated. "Hurry up and get on."

"I’m telling you now, I’m not repaying that million points." Caicai emphasized.

"I already said I don’t have points," Lou Yan Zhi replied. "Take on a mission and earn it on the spot."

"Even if you lent me a million, shouldn’t you still have at least 300,000 left?" Caicai began tallying up the numbers.

"Everything I had, even the doors and windows, got taken apart by the Cannibal Flower. The remaining points were all converted into Star Coins to buy weapons and supplies," Lou Yan Zhi explained.

"So you’re actually broke now, huh," Caicai pouted.

It had assumed Lou Yan Zhi was hiding money behind its back, unwilling to lend it any.

Turns out, all that pretending had been for nothing.

"No need to show that repulsive face so soon," Lou Yan Zhi sighed. "You haven’t even secured the points you need yet."

"But Xiao Jinsheng, are you planning to bring her to the Interstellar World?" Lou Yan Zhi asked nonchalantly.

Caicai immediately grew alert and glared at him, warning, "Stop prying."

"Heh," Lou Yan Zhi chuckled coldly.

He’d said it before—the system was clearly bound to Xiao Jinsheng, not him.

Mist Continent.

The next morning, Xiao Jinsheng followed Yu Yunxiao downstairs. As soon as they reached the staircase’s corner, they smelled something burnt in the air.

"Whose kitchen blew up?" Yu Yunxiao speculated. "Could it be Su Ye cooking?"

"My cooking no longer blows up kitchens," Su Ye said as he walked downstairs, passing them by.

"Then who’s in the kitchen today?" Yu Yunxiao wondered aloud.

"It’s Xuan Jiu," Xiao Jinsheng said with certainty.

After all, she’d tasted all the men’s cooking in the house.

Huaiqing, needless to say, was a true culinary god.

Shi Xie’s cooking was also exceptional.

As for Li,

uh... he relied on cheating, always teleporting gourmet dishes from the Demon Territory made by century-old culinary dolls.

Compared to cooking, Mo Jiao was more into washing dishes.

Su Ye was hopeless—a champion at blowing up kitchens, unless it was porridge or sweet soups.

Que Zelian’s cooking was bland—just filling enough to stave off starvation. But that was in the past.

Nowadays, he was Que "Advanced Gourmet Chef" Zelian. freёwebnoѵel.com

Yu Yunxiao, on the other hand, specialized in nourishing dishes, perfect for healing his kitten.

With the kitten around, Xiao Jinsheng didn’t even dream of eating anything unhealthy.

Because if she did, the kitten would throw a fit.

Xiao Jinsheng guessed right. When everyone arrived at the kitchen, there stood Xuan Jiu, busy as could be.

"What did you make for it to smell this burnt?" Su Ye questioned.

Xuan Jiu was pulling out a tray of roast chicken from the oven.

The chicken was charred black, and he looked distressed.

"I didn’t know this oven had such intense heat. Back on Cloud Island, I always slow-roasted with firewood," Xuan Jiu explained, looking innocent.

Xiao Jinsheng could relate.

Kitchen appliances on the Mist Continent ran on Star Stone or Crystal Core energy.

With enough energy, it could roast more than just chicken—it could roast the entire kitchen.

The raw power was nothing compared to modern appliances, which could double as heat weapons.

Besides, Xuan Jiu had been trapped on Cloud Island for two years, long out of touch with Mist Continent life.

Xiao Jinsheng herself also felt foreign to the kitchen’s equipment.

"Whatever you eat, don’t feed her that," Yu Yunxiao warned.

He glanced again at the roast chicken Xuan Jiu had made—black and burnt, with an unpleasantly crispy texture.

If Xiao Jinsheng ate that, he’d worry Xuan Jiu might have poisoned her.

"I’ve prepared her breakfast," Yu Yunxiao said, heading to the other side of the kitchen to start cooking.

It just so happened that it was his turn today to make breakfast.

Defeated, Xuan Jiu put down his burnt chicken and handed Xiao Jinsheng a Beast Skin Scroll.

"I’ve wanted to give this to you since my time on Cloud Island," Xuan Jiu explained.

It just so happened that other than Su Ye and Yu Yunxiao in the kitchen,

the rest of Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands had also come downstairs by now.

And they all immediately noticed Xuan Jiu sneakily handing something to Xiao Jinsheng.

In an instant, everyone grew on edge, their gazes on Xuan Jiu as sharp as daggers.

Curious, Xiao Jinsheng was about to open the Beast Skin Scroll when Xuan Jiu stopped her. "There are too many people here. Maybe wait until you’re alone to look at it?"

"What kind of shady thing can’t be seen in public?" Su Ye furrowed his brows.

Yu Yunxiao also cast him a wary stare.

"It’s a secret," Xuan Jiu said seriously.

His secrecy only made everyone more curious.

Xiao Jinsheng grew curious about what was inside.

The seven Beast Husbands weren’t just curious—they suspected Xuan Jiu was smuggling something nefarious within the Beast Skin Scroll.

This made Xiao Jinsheng hesitant to accept it.

She was about to hand the Beast Skin Scroll back to Xuan Jiu when he asked the others, "Do you all really want to see?"

"Mysterious as you act, who knows if you’re trying to fool us?" Su Ye said in a low voice.

"But this is a gift I prepared for her," Xuan Jiu murmured hesitantly.

Predictably, his words made everyone even more suspicious.

"Which is why only she can see it," Xuan Jiu explained. "But if you *really* must see it, I’ll let you look—only if you vow not to spread it around."

"Does anyone still believe vows these days?" Mo Jiao sneered.

Whenever he thought of vows, he remembered how Xiao Jinsheng had saved him from the Black Market, raising two fingers in a playful gesture.

Nobody outclassed Xiao Jinsheng in deceit and pitching wild ideas.

"Fine, I vow. Relax, I won’t spread it around after I see it," Li said lazily, holding up four fingers.

Xuan Jiu didn’t pay attention to such details.

Only after Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands all made their vows did he finally unfold the Beast Skin Scroll with great secrecy.

Through tears, Xuan Jiu declared, "This is my painstakingly crafted ultimate roast chicken recipe."

"I wouldn’t give this to just anyone."

"If it weren’t for staying at your house, broke as can be, without anything else to pay rent, you wouldn’t even get a glimpse."

"But since you’ve vowed, go on, take a look. Just don’t steal it—it’s plagiarism if you copy my recipe," Xuan Jiu said, trembling with the scroll.

Shi Xie glanced at the contents. It really was just a recipe.

He exited the room wordlessly, exasperated.

Li placed a box of Star Stones in front of Yu Yunxiao. "Get his brain checked."

"Divine Gold," Mo Jiao sneered disdainfully before walking out.

"Too much smoke in here. Let’s step outside," Que Zelian said, pulling Xiao Jinsheng along with him.
