Qian’er had her head held low throughout the entire breakfast session. She plucked the food from the dishes with a murderous expression, and the way she chomped down on her food was as if she was eating her nemesis’ flesh.

Li Yi, on the other hand, was extremely calm. A joyful expression was plastered on his face as he eyed the three beautiful ladies around him.

Fire Ice, however, seemed a little out of tune. She was fidgety and there was a peculiar air to her.

Jiaojiao cut straight to the chase. “Ice, what’s up?”

“N-N-Nothing much…”

“You’re constantly fidgeting, it feels odd.”

“I’m done eating. Yawn, I’m tired, I’m going to take a nap.”

Fire Ice limped and lumbered her way into her room.

“Jiaojiao, did you visit my room last night?”

Jiaojiao shot him a glance. “In your dreams, huhu.”

“Wait, so you didn’t visit me? Then how do you explain Fire Ice’s blanket…” Upon remembering Fire Ice’s weird walking pattern, Li Yi immediately clamped his mouth shut.

He had indeed drunk too much last night, but it was not to the extent that he could not recall anything. He could still vaguely remember the events of the previous night…

‘Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me…’

Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes. “Lil Yi’zi, did you do something last night…”

Li Yi kept a poker face. “I had a pleasant sleep last night.”

After hastily downing his food, Li Yi went back into his room.

The truth was too wild. He dared not think any further.

‘I really couldn’t have imagined a gentle lady like her would commit such a wild act.’

‘But if I think about it, the events last night…’

…

The moment Li Yi logged in, he received countless messages. After skimming through them, he learned that the system had been upgraded.

The chat system had been upgraded. Now, players no longer needed to send mails to one another. Regardless of the distance between players, they could easily communicate by using the voice chat.

Li Yi had also received several congratulatory messages. However, Li Yi deleted them without sparing a second glance. After all, it did not matter whether he read them or not, as their contents were nearly the same. As such, Li Yi was only picking out the important messages from his mailbox.

“Brother Wing! I have urgent news!”

“Are you interested in earning some money?”

“You won’t need to spend a single dime, and I assure you that you’ll earn so much that you’ll roll around in laughter!”

There were a hundred or so similar voice messages, and they were all sent by the same person, the underhanded lady, Autumn Love.

Li Yi had just deleted them when Autumn Love sent over a new voice message.

“Brother Wing, have you finally logged on? I’ve been waiting for you for the entire night.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I have a huge batch of Sacred Potions. Are you interested?”

Li Yi paused. “Huh?”

“Hehe, recently, little missy here has involved herself in a side venture. While it did cost me quite a bit of money, I am doing this for Brother Wing’s sake. Since you’ve helped me so much, I figured, why not come up with an idea to make you some cash as well?”

Once Li Yi connected the dots, he figured out what she was planning. He then feigned interest, asking, “And what’s this idea of yours?”

“Take a gander at the Auction House, hehe, I now have a monopoly on Sacred Potions. I’m selling them at 12 Gold Coins per bottle currently, and business is booming. I’m selling them at a rate of 5,000 bottles per hour, which is amazingly lucrative. Lucrative indeed.”

The sound of Autumn Love faking excitement was enough to make Li Yi bawl in laughter. After all, who else had gained a monopoly on Sacred Potions aside from himself?

‘Autumn Love, you’ve targeted the wrong person. Don’t you know that all your potions came from me, Underhanded Chick?’

Li Yi exclaimed, “Is it really that lucrative!?”

“Yep! Yep! Brother Wing, are you interested in making a fortune along with me?”

“What do you propose?”

“I bought the potions at 8 Gold Coins each. Seeing we’re good friends and all, I’ll sell them to you at 8 Gold Coins as well. With that, we can both make a killing.”

Li Yi told Little Elf from the Magical Realm to scout out the Auction House for him. From that, he learned that his stock of Sacred Potions sold at 4 Gold Coins each had been bought out. It was another obvious case of Autumn Love’s devious schemes.

Li Yi finally understood.
