Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 726: Chapter 726: National Demon Sprite (17)

Chuzheng came back to see her phone lying on the ground with the screen shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

”Xun Yin.”

No one answered her.

Chuzheng picked up the phone and went behind the screen to find him.

Xun Yin was lying on the Beauty Couch pretending to be asleep.

”Xun Yin, did you break this?” Chuzheng pushed him.

Xun Yin opened his eyes: ”What?”

Chuzheng held up the phone in her hand.

Xun Yin’s mouth curved into a smile: ”Little demon, I never went out, how could I break your things?”

”It wasn’t you?”

”No,” Xun Yin huffed lightly: ”If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb me.”

”This is ridiculous.”

Chuzheng muttered to herself, carrying her phone outside.

Xun Yin carefully looked outside. Seeing that Chuzheng was not pursuing the matter further, he relaxed a bit.

What was that strange thing?

”Xun Yin.”

Chuzheng suddenly came back.

Xun Yin immediately lied back down, turning his back to Chuzheng.

”Did you see anyone come in last night?” Chuzheng asked him.

”I saw,” Xun Yin said, focusing on the carved flowers on the Beauty Couch.

”Why didn’t you tell me?”

Xun Yin coldly said: ”They’re all going to die anyway, whether I tell you or not, what’s the difference.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Do you know how long I cleaned up!!

Chuzheng was silent for a while, then asked: ”What does the manor’s defense mean to you?”

Xun Yin: ”It’s useless.”

What imprisoned him were these chains.

They had nothing to do with other things.

The defenses in the yard... were probably to prevent outsiders from coming in.

Chuzheng planned to tear down the surrounding wall.

It was so troublesome to have to climb over it every time she needed to get in or out.

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind, than she heard Xun Yin add, ”However, it can hide my Monster Qi.”

There was a tinge of regret in his tone.

It seemed that he was unhappy his Monster Qi was hidden.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Monster Qi leaked = Many people come looking = Trouble

This won’t do.

So she decided not to tear down the wall.

Xun Yin turned around to look at Chuzheng, a glint of mischief flashed in his dark eyes, and his lips curled into a seductive smile: ”Little demon, you can break the defenses, so it won’t be so troublesome for you to come and go.”

”I won’t!” Nice try, little monster, but you won’t trick me!

”...”

Xun Yin watched Chuzheng’s retreating figure, clicking his tongue.

-

The more modern gadgets Chuzheng brought in, the bigger the impact it seemed to have on Xun Yin.

As a result, these things broke down exceptionally quickly.

Although Chuzheng didn’t mind using the Good Person Card to wreck her finances, it was troublesome that he forced her to bring in new items every time they were destroyed.

Bang!

Chuzheng had not yet entered when she heard an explosion inside.

Chuzheng walked in to see the television smoking and electrical sparks flying around.

And there was Xun Yin lying behind the screen on the Beauty Couch, as if the explosion of the television had nothing to do with him.

Dammit!

How could the TV just explode for no reason?

Chuzheng approached the Beauty Couch: ”Xun Yin, do you know what the outside world is like now?”

It was necessary to bring the Good Person Card up to speed on current affairs.

”Let me out to have a look, and I’ll know,” Xun Yin persisted, wanting Chuzheng to unlock the chains for him.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Society is different now!

One need not step outside to learn about the world.

Chuzheng found some materials for Xun Yin to read for himself and also prepared a cell phone for him.

When Xun Yin saw the phone, he hesitated, not daring to take it.

This strange rectangular object could emit sound...

”You can contact me with this,” Chuzheng taught him how to use it.

Xun Yin caught the key point, ”This can transmit sound?”

Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to explain further, ”You can think of it that way if you like.”

Anyway, it was an amazing device.

Chuzheng went over the basics with him, ”If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me.”

Chuzheng handed the smartphone to him.

Xun Yin looked at Chuzheng, then at the smartphone.

”Take it,” she said.

Xun Yin’s wary eyes suggested that Chuzheng was handing him a bomb.

”I have to step out for a bit, behave yourself.”

Only after Chuzheng’s figure disappeared behind the enclosure wall did Xun Yin, somewhat clumsily, tap on the phone.

Xun Yin stumbled into the music section and the phone suddenly burst into song—

’The vast horizon is my love

Under the endlessly rolling green hills, flowers bloom

What rhythm thrills the soul with its swing

What kind of song brings the greatest joy

The winding river comes from the heavens above...’

The smartphone nearly bounced out of his hands and onto the floor; with a flurry of hasty taps, he finally silenced it.

Xun·Bigshot·Yin glared at the phone, a tiny trinket box; was he really unable to master it?

-

No sooner had Chuzheng left the ancestral hall than the King’s Account spoke out of the blue.

[Main Mission: Please obtain management rights over the ’Monster Tower’ within one month.]

Chuzheng ground her teeth.

What the hell was the Monster Tower?

A place to lock up demons?

Did such a thing still exist?

The King’s Account vanished after issuing the mission.

If in trouble, ask ’Baidu’!

Chuzheng took out her device to search, but all she found were anime settings and film plots, not a single useful piece of information.

Chuzheng called over Yu Su.

Yu Su, munching on a bowl of cold noodles, shuffled over in her slip-off shoes, ”Boss, have you eaten? I brought you a bowl.”

Chuzheng took it without any fuss, ”Do you know about the Monster Tower?”

”Monster Tower?” Yu Su was clueless, ”Never heard of it, what is it for?”

Chuzheng was dead serious, ”I’d like to know that too.”

”...”

Yu Su suggested asking the lady boss.

After all, the lady boss was well-informed.

He heard a lot of information from her.

Remembering the fear she felt under the control of the inner core last time, Chuzheng was somewhat reluctant to go, so Yu Su volunteered to go in her stead.

Surprisingly, this time the lady boss was quite generous, not asking for any reward and telling Yu Su straight away.

Yu Su scurried back to relay the information to Chuzheng.

The Monster Tower was indeed for imprisoning demons.

However, it held only the most vicious and evil of demons, those that even the Demon Clan refused to acknowledge as their kin.

The Monster Tower was built by the Human Race, hence the management rights were in human hands.

But that was all a very long time ago.

Whether the Monster Tower still existed was something the lady boss wasn’t clear on; she only knew that the last known keeper’s surname was Zhongli.

Chuzheng’s first reaction after hearing this: Bastard, that damn thing is actually making me rob demons.

Is it trying to get humans to throw me into the Monster Tower too?

[Please, Miss, proceed to Shanshui Manor to find the rightful keeper of the Monster Tower. Miss, cheer up~~]

Chuzheng: ”...” Can’t you say anything else besides this?

[You’re the best, Miss! You can do it, Miss! Miss, you...]

Chuzheng: ”...” Shut up, will you?

[...] Feeling hurt. Not pleased even with compliments; what more do you want, so hard to please.

”Shanshui Manor...” Chuzheng felt the name sounded familiar.

Chuzheng recalled that Yu Su had mentioned before that the Li Family intended to host a banquet at Shanshui Manor.

Why didn’t Bastard issue a mission for her to buy Shanshui Manor as well?

[Do you want to buy it, Miss?] The King’s Account seemed eager to try.

Chuzheng’s expression turned stern: No! I don’t want to!

Chuzheng firmly refused and swiftly purged those messy thoughts.
