Chapter 9: Sleep with Him! Are You Even Capable or Not?
At this moment, Lin Yue in ancient times was in a quiet little courtyard.
She ate pastries in the cool breeze.
When she saw Su Qian’s message, she froze for a moment. The pastry stopped right at her lips.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yue replied: “Qian Qian girl, if you can, can you help me go check on my sister?”
“Oh, and my cat. When I transmigrated here, it was too sudden and I didn’t have time to arrange anything. If you have time, can you adopt it?”
[Group member Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue) posted a help quest. Do you accept? Completing it rewards group points. Points can be used for group upgrades, unlocking more functions, and unlocking more multi-plane transmigrators.]
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “No problem. Just send me the address.”
Lin Yue quickly sent an address. It was in Lin Jiang City, not far from her. They were even from the same hometown.
With Su Qian’s promise,
Lin Yue’s mood immediately lifted, and she couldn’t stop the smile from rising.
The maid beside her noticed and couldn’t help teasing. “Princess Consort, are you so happy because you know Prince will come to spend the night here tonight?”
“What?!”
Lin Yue instantly bristled. “You’re saying that Cold-Faced Prince is coming to sleep here tonight?”
The maid was startled by Lin Yue’s reaction and hurriedly said, “Princess Consort, please calm down. It’s true. Prince gave the order- he’s coming tonight.”
Lin Yue frowned and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
She muttered, “This is bad, this is bad. How am I supposed to fool him into leaving?”
Lin Yue felt like the sky was falling.
She substitute-married here more than half a year ago, and she’d only seen Prince a handful of times.
These days, Prince always slept in the study.
Why did he suddenly decide to come sleep in her room today?
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Qian Qian girl, help! I want pepper spray! And buy me some sleeping pills too!!!”
Su Qian had just fallen asleep, drowsily rubbing her eyes.
Seeing Lin Yue’s message, she woke up a little.
Su Qian: “?”
She replied, half amused and half helpless, “Okay, okay. I’ll buy them tomorrow and send them to you.”
The next morning, Su Qian began searching online for trustworthy antique appraisal institutions. She contacted the highly respected Professor Zhang in the antique world and set an appointment for the afternoon.
Then she planned to go to the supermarket for another round of buying, and pick up pepper spray for Lin Yue while she was at it.
Just as she walked out, her phone rang.
Su Qian thought it was that cheap biological older brother again. She was about to answer and start cursing, but when she looked carefully, it was her company supervisor.
“Su Qian! How many days have you been on leave? Do you even want this job anymore?!”
The supervisor’s roar came through the phone.
Hearing that high-and-mighty tone, Su Qian immediately felt annoyed.
She’d put up with this supervisor for a long time.
Fat, greasy, always putting on airs. He PUA-ed employees daily and even took advantage of female employees.
More than once, he hinted he wanted to use unspoken rules on her.
After Su Qian refused him, he would trip her up now and then, nitpicking and making her life hard.
Back then, she was still struggling just to survive and needed this job, so she kept swallowing it.
But now she was sitting on a ten-million fortune. Work my ass?
“You big idiot, shut your mouth! All day you have no skills, only barking at your subordinates. Who do you think you are? Waving a chicken feather like it’s an imperial decree. Stick it on your head and you think you’re going to fly to the sky?”
“You dare curse me? Did you take the wrong medicine? Who gave you the nerve to curse me?”
The fat supervisor on the other end was furious.
“So what if I curse you? Forget cursing you to your face- if you can’t hear clearly, I can carve it on your gravestone. I’m telling you, I’m done serving you! Whoever wants this job can do it.”
Su Qian finished in one breath, feeling unbelievably satisfied.
She didn’t care what the supervisor’s reaction was.
She hung up right away.
So satisfying!
After dumping all the resentment she’d been holding in, Su Qian felt light all over.
Then she went to the supermarket and went on a raid- snacks, fruit, drinks, milk tea, little treats, filling several sacks.
She sent them across the void to Xia Meng Meng and Lin Yue.
Xia Meng Meng had a storage ring, so no matter how much it was, she didn’t have to worry about space.
As for Lin Yue, she didn’t need much. She cleared a small corner and could store the items Su Qian sent.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “I sent you the pepper spray. Are you sure you want to spray Prince with this? @Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue)”
After sending the supplies, Su Qian asked in the group.
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “[gossip face] What did I miss?”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Lin Yue said Prince stayed the night in her room last night.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “[shocked face] Whoa, then what?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Hurry, hurry, tell us. I want to hear too.”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “She got scared and asked me for pepper spray, saying she wanted to guard against Prince.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Heaven and earth, what a waste!”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “How so?”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Damn it, go for it! Sleep with him! Are you even capable or not @Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue)”
Su Qian stared wide-eyed outside the screen.
She was so shocked by Jiang Xiao Yu’s bold words she couldn’t speak.
She never expected that even in Apocalypse Survival, Jiang Xiao Yu’s brain was still this unhinged and fearless.
In ancient times, Lin Yue was organizing the supplies Su Qian sent.
She didn’t have a storage ring like Xia Meng Meng.
She could only hide the modern items in a cabinet. If anyone discovered them, she couldn’t explain it.
Then, as she sorted things,
she saw a box.
Her face instantly turned red.
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Qian Qian girl, why did you send condoms to me?!!”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Pfft- hahahahahaha!”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “[blushing] Not for kids, I’m leaving.”
Su Qian saw Lin Yue’s message and her face heated up too.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Isn’t it… just for in case something happens?”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “[laughing and crying] I get it, but I won’t use it.”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Don’t worry. You’ll use it sooner or later [snicker].”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “So last night, you and that Cold-Faced Prince- did anything happen? Hurry and tell me. Satisfy my curiosity.”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “I lit the incense he hates the most and smoked him away. Nothing happened! Stop imagining things.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “What a shame. Such a good chance.”
…
That afternoon, Su Qian carried a giddy excitement in her chest.
She brought the antiques Lin Yue gave her to Professor Zhang’s studio.
Professor Zhang was an authority in the antique world, famous for his high accuracy and reputation in appraisals.
“Professor, these are things I picked up at an antique market. Please help me appraise them. Don’t worry- I’ll pay the appraisal fee at the market rate,” Su Qian said.
She carefully placed the items on the table.
Professor Zhang put on professional gloves.
He used a magnifying glass to carefully examine every detail of the porcelain.
