Fulai Restaurant had always had a meager business. Recently, it had become a bit more prosperous because of a new cook who was very good at cooking.
However, no one knew why, but the business in the restaurant was extremely booming tonight. It was packed to the rafters!
Yang Xue was tired. After cooking for a whole night, she was too lazy to continue. So she told the waiter downstairs that she was done and asked other cooks to take over.
Unexpectedly, the newly - arrived guests didn't care about her at all. They all rushed upstairs.
Yang Xue looked at the God of Wealth sitting by the window, sipping his tea slowly. Suddenly, she knew who they were here for.
Indeed, this was the Kingdom of Daughters. It was very rare to see a man on the street, and even male animals were seldom seen.
Today, the God of Wealth didn't use his invisibility spell. Dressed in magnificent clothes, he sat by the window, looking gentle, elegant, and graceful. His appearance made the women passing by downstairs turn their heads frequently.
The women in the restaurant were the bold ones. They rushed up directly to ask if he was interested in taking a wife!
"Sir, may I ask where you're from and where you're going? Are you interested in staying in the Kingdom of Daughters and having a harem of wives?" The women surrounding him suppressed their voices, fearing that they would scream out the next moment.
"Yes, yes. My sisters and I are all deeply in love with you. I wonder if you could stay and take us all in?"
"..." It was estimated that there were at least seven or eight sisters in this group. It would be difficult for the God of Wealth to handle if he married them all.
Yang Xue stood in the corner, watching the show with no intention of interfering.
Since he didn't have that kind of feelings for her, among the girls swarming around him, there were some with excellent looks and irresistible charm. If he stayed and took them all into his house, wouldn't it be...
"Miss Yang, come here." The God of Wealth rubbed his forehead. "Did you call them here?"
"Of course not. I was cooking in the kitchen. How could I have the time to find so many women for you?" She squeezed her way to him with a smile. "They're so enthusiastic. They all want to be your women. You've never had such a wonderful experience before, right?"
"Hey!" Suddenly, a woman flew in through the window. She sat directly beside the God of Wealth. "Count me in."
Yang Xue recognized her as the fox spirit who had asked her for spicy beef in the kitchen before. She was extremely coquettish.
"All of you leave. This gentleman is mine." With a wave of her hand, the girls who had been crowding on the second floor suddenly seemed like they had lost their souls. They all turned around and went downstairs.
The God of Wealth frowned at the woman who had suddenly appeared. "This is the mortal world. You can't use magic!"
"Don't worry. They'll soon forget what they've just done." Then, she waved her hand again and set up a barrier by the window. "You know you're good - looking, but you still sit by the window so conspicuously. Are you afraid that others won't miss you?"
Yang Xue walked over. "Do you know each other?"
"Sure, I've known him for many years. But he's always hiding in the sky, so it's hard to see him. Now that he's going to stay in the mortal world for a year, I naturally have to seize the opportunity to follow him." This girl had a pair of charming peach - blossom eyes. With her gentle smiles, she was extremely attractive. Even Yang Xue, a white - bone spirit, was almost captivated.
It was the first time she had seen another female demon. She quickly sat opposite her and said excitedly, "What's your name, and how old are you?"
The God of Wealth looked at Yang Xue. Knowing what she wanted to ask, he watched as the girl in charge of serving dishes brought up the spicy beef and then buried his head in his meal.
"My name is Qingqing. I'm a little over five hundred years old. What about you?" She picked up her chopsticks and elegantly picked up a piece of beef and put it in her bowl. "I wonder if you're my elder or younger sister."
"I'll be five hundred years old soon. I'm a bit younger than you." Yang Xue noticed the wooden hairpin in Qingqing's hair and her simple clothes. She couldn't help but feel curious. "Where are you from? Have you been in the Kingdom of Daughters before?"
"No." Her eyes kept wandering on the God of Wealth. "He's my savior. I chased him here to repay my debt of gratitude. But this God of Wealth doesn't give me any face. He's always hiding from me. He even came to find you. So I cast a little spell on him so that he can't escape from my grasp."
The God of Wealth didn't say a word. He ate the beef quietly, gracefully, without making a sound.
"God of Wealth, why don't you take her with you?"
"She's troublesome," the God of Wealth finally looked up and glanced at Qingqing. "She always causes me trouble. She likes to play tricks on people. She doesn't even hide her identity in the mortal world, making a mess of things."
The God of Wealth was indeed not a person who was so flamboyant. He didn't like overly lively scenes. But this Miss Qingqing looked cute and charming. Wouldn't it be better to have her around to liven up the atmosphere occasionally?
Yang Xue was sensible enough not to ask further. Otherwise, the God of Wealth would scold her again.
"Big brother, I won't cause any trouble now. Besides meal times, I'll stay far away from you. Isn't that enough?" Qingqing said, looking a bit aggrieved. She stabbed the beef hard with her chopsticks and pouted angrily. "You clearly dislike me. Why do you have to follow this younger sister?"
"I need to watch over her to prevent her from getting hurt." The God of Wealth said seriously. "And you'll be safest staying on Qingqiu Mountain. Don't run around everywhere, or your parents will worry about you."
Qingqiu?
There really was a Qingqiu! Were all the foxes there as good - looking as this? Was there a Goddess Bai Qian?
Yang Xue's eyes lit up. "Are the male fox spirits on your mountain good - looking? When can you take me there to have a look? Also, where is Qingqiu Mountain? Will you exclude other demons?"
The God of Wealth looked up, frowning slightly. "Xiaoxue, Qingqiu has always been the territory of the fox clan. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. You'd better stop thinking about it."
Just thinking that there were so many highly - cultivated foxes on Qingqiu Mountain, there must be no shortage of beautiful people. Both men and women must be extremely beautiful. This made Yang Xue extremely curious about how good - looking the male foxes were.
"Xiaoxue, what's your true form?" Qingqing asked while eating. "Were you also saved by big brother? Did he promise to marry you in return?"
"Cough... cough... cough..." The God of Wealth started to cough. "Qingqing, don't talk nonsense!"
Yang Xue quickly handed him a glass of water. "You choked. Don't talk."
"Xiaoxue, didn't you tell her that you'd marry in return?" Although Qingqing was a bit older than the white - bone spirit, her mind was more naive. She said happily, "So, in the future, I'll be the only girl by the God of Wealth's side?"
"Qingqing, if you keep this up, I'll go back to the Heavenly Court." The God of Wealth seemed angry.
"Okay." She stopped talking and buried her head in eating the beef, sweating all over.
Looking at her, Yang Xue couldn't help but think of Sun Wukong. If she pestered him relentlessly, would he be so scared that he wouldn't even go to the Western Heaven?
"God of Wealth, do you know the Old Man Under the Moon?" She suddenly thought of a way.
"Yes, I do." He put down his chopsticks and looked at Yang Xue.
"Is the red string of the Old Man Under the Moon effective for people like us?" Yang Xue said shyly, gesturing. "If I give someone a red string and they tie it on, will it determine their marriage?"
The God of Wealth looked at Yang Xue, who was full of expectation. He picked up a piece of garlic and put it in his mouth. He said indifferently, "It's not effective for those with cultivation."
"No, how could it not be..." Qingqing was about to say something, but found that she couldn't open her mouth.
