At that moment, Mu Xuan recalled that the Alliance account would be frozen if there hasn’t been a transaction within the past hundred years. When he woke up from his hundredth year of hibernation, he had been preoccupied with teaching his cub, tossing the entire matter to the back of his mind. The moment the transaction didn’t go through, he was startled, taking a while to process the matter.
Hence, the machine continually rejected his payment.
[Your account is frozen!]
[Your account is frozen!]
There was an awkward silence…
._.
Yao Si reached for his arm, smiling forcefully. “Er… I’ll do it.”
Shemimicked his moves, sending her optical computer over, hoping that the sum fromThunder Sylvani would be enough, else things were going to get even more embarrassing…
There was a buzzing sound, and a new pop up appeared.
[VIP customer.]
Wow! What does that mean?
Before Yao Si could react, the shop assistant’s face changed swiftly, herperfect commercialsmile cracking as though she had just witnessed a shocking affair. With anxiety and fear, she bowed deeply out of a sudden. “I’m sorry! I’ll notify the managerthis instant.”
“Uh? Wait!” Before Yao Si could stop her, she had already disappearedbehind the pond.
That womanshould have explained herself… Didit mean I haveenough money?
“Mu Xuan…” She couldn’t help poking a certain someone. “Do you think she’s getting the security to chase us out?” Is there enough time to run?
Mu Xuan turned to look at her, his stone cold face impassive,withoutanysigns of emotion. Yet when his eyes focused on her, his face held a seriousness he’dnever once shown her.
“What…what’s wrong?” Did she get it right?
“Sisi.”
“Ah?”
“We have money.”
“Uh?” What was he saying that for?
Without explanation, he reached out to caress her hair, his expressionvisibly displeased.
Yao Si had no idea what was going on, but the next moment, she heard somethingopening near the lake. A stumpy man clothed in black headed towards them hurriedly, with the previous shop assistant following behind.
The stumpy man was clearly in a rush, his head soaked in sweat. Reaching them in large,unsteady steps, he greeted, “Forgive me for the poor service!”. After steadyinghimself, he smiled brightly.“I didn’t know you were coming to inspect the branch today, take your time, take your time.”
He took a glance at the twoof them,but his gaze soon came to rest on heralone.“You must be the young mistress. It’s a pleasure to meet you,I’m the managerof the Eternal Brightnessbranch. My first name is Zhou,and it’s an honorto serve Miss Lu on your inspection here.”
Yao Si was the picture of confusion, what situation was this?
“Er… My first name is Yao.”
The managerstilled, even more confused than her.“You’re not the young daughter from the Lu family?”
“No!” She was clearly from the Yao family. And at most she could be considered to be part ofthe Mu family.
“You’re not here to inspect the branch?”
Yao Si shook her head.
“…”
The manager’s lips trembled slightly, his perfect smile cracking as he continued, “Hahaha, it’s the same. It’s definitely an honor to be able to serve such a prestigious customer as you.”
Back when Yao Siwas paying, the system had hinted that shewas a VIP, and that revelation seemed to have garnered her special treatment.
“Are VIPs very special?”
“Miss Yao must be kidding.” The manager regained hisconciliatorysmile.“VIPs are the highest ranking customers in the Lu Enterprise list, which can only be arranged by the higher ups in the boards,and there are no more than ten people in it in the entire Galaxy. It usually consists ofLu family members.”
Ten mightbeanexaggeration,but according to his limited knowledge, this kind of authority was only given to members of the board with more than twenty percent shares. Hence, the only ones that qualified wereMr.Lu himself, the young master from the Lu family, the young mistress. Even Mrs.Lu didn’t have such benefits. Hence, when the manager heard the revelation, he anxiously hurried over.
“Lu family?”Yao Si recalled something. “You can’t be referring to…Lu Ren?”
“So you are acquainted with Mr.Lu.”The managerexclaimed in obvious joy. “He’s the next head of the household.”
“…”
She finally understood! Initially,when she had just woken up, Yan Xuan seemed to have cheated Lu Ren out of a large sum of money, whichincluded some sort of card. So that dude Lu Renhadopened his own shop?
“Err…manager, I have an important question for you.”
“Miss Yao, please ask.”
“This very important customer…”
“Mmh?”
“Can I get a discount?”
“…”
The managerfroze, his entire being fossilizing for a couple seconds. Are youfreakingkidding me? This is the wayto prove that you’re the boss!
“Hehe…Miss Yao, you are a VIP,everything is free.”
Had that been really such a good deal?
(⊙_⊙)
“I want just the storage compartmentfor now.”
“Sure…Sure!” The manager wiped off the sweat on his forehead, taking a step to the side.” Miss Yao, please come this way. I’ll bring you to the operation room and arrange for a master to help you with the installation.”
Was he bringing her to a professional? Yao Si turned back to look at Mu Xuaninstinctively.
He nodded.“You can go, I’ll wait here.”
Yao Si followed themanager to the other room.
Mu Xuan and the shop assistant were leftalone.
“Sir, do you want to rest in the lounge?”
“No,”Mu Xuan replied,as he glanced in the direction of his cub. When she was finally out of sight, he opened his optical computerand entered the Galaxy’swebsite to…unlock his account!

Yao Sijust wanted to upgrade her storage, hopefullywith interesting advancedtechnology. In the end, the managerbrought her to an empty room which was a stark contrast to the bright jungle-like environment previously. Here, there was just a chair, and on it satan old man. He had a head full of white hair, his long locks falling onto the ground. He wore a cloak and held onto a cup of tea,looking everybit like a celestial being.
When he saw her enter, he was startledfor a heartbeat. When he finally got back to his senses, he hurriedly stood up, shouting, “Good day!” His tone was polite and formal, his celestial facade ruined in an instant.
“OldLiu!” The manager led her in.“Miss Yao is an important customer, help her install the optical space, and remember to add the operations seriously.”
“Sure, boss.” The old mannodded with vigor, totally rid off his celestial facade.
“MissYao, please hand the optical computer to Old Liu.”
Yao Si did as asked.
“Miss Yao, please reach out your right hand.” Old Liu instructed whenhe received the computer.
Yao Si was confused but still reached out her hand, without a clue what he wasgoing to do. He extended his ownhand as well and lightly tapped her arm. After a short while, a drop of blood flew up from between her fingers,but somehow, there wasnowound.
That drop of blood seemed to be alive, floating toOld Liu’s palmby itself.
