153: Chapter 153 News of Star Marrow

After another careful examination, Xing Yaoyan let out a helpless sigh.

Inside this spatial ring, there was nothing but a few credit cards and some scattered daily necessities.

She couldn't just take the credit points from the cards and spend them as she pleased, and the daily items were useless. So, in the end, her reward for risking exposure and acting as a human "angel" yesterday consisted of nothing but a pile of burdensome Star Souls and two spatial rings?

Qian Mo... it's all your fault! If I ever need your blood in the future and you dare say no, hmph...

If she knew right now that the bulk of her twenty thousand Spirit Crystals was also with Qian Mo, she would definitely rush to his dormitory, drag him out, and engage in a "friendly exchange" until the boy "wept with gratitude" and obediently handed over the crystals...

Despite being the Saintess of the Demon Race, Xing Yaoyan didn't actually have much real money in her pocket.

Tushan Qing had given her an unlimited black card that she could use for credit points. However, in the black market or at high-end auctions, Spirit Crystals were the true hard currency.

She only had about two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals left on her now, which had to be saved as bargaining chips for purchasing star marrow and couldn't be used lightly. Moreover, given the rarity of star marrow, whether two hundred thousand would even be enough was another matter entirely.

Now then, let's see if I can get some gold coins to drop from our King?

Thus, with an extremely nervous heart, Xing Yaoyan opened Spirit Chat and found Tushan Qing's ID in her friend list—"Qing."

Sister Yan: Your Majesty, your loyal subject Xing Yan has successfully completed part of the mission you entrusted to me. I have already sent you the intelligence regarding that portion of the "Starry Sky Exploration Project." About the expense reimbursement...

Qing: How much.

Upon seeing those two words, Xing Yaoyan silently swallowed her saliva.

Sister Yan: One million Spirit Crystals.

Qing: ...

Seeing the status bar continuously showing "Friend is typing..." without any message being sent for a long time, Xing Yaoyan's heart unknowingly rose to her throat, feeling that she had indeed opened her mouth a bit too wide.

Qing: I recall you only had four hundred thousand Spirit Crystals on you. How did you spend a million?

Seeing this, Xing Yaoyan forced herself to stay calm and responded with thick skin.

Sister Yan: I signed an IOU.

Qing: ...

A long time passed.

Qing: I'll have someone send another two million Spirit Crystals to you. Don't let the humans look down on us. As the Saintess of the Demon Race, being hundreds of thousands in debt is too embarrassing.

Sister Yan: Thank you, Boss.

Turning off her phone, Xing Yaoyan felt a wave of refreshment.

As expected, when one is shameless, they are invincible under heaven.

She knew Tushan Qing suspected her, and he even started using metaphors to scold her at the end. But... so what? Face can't be eaten. Regardless, having these two million Spirit Crystals in hand feels amazing!

"♫ Rotation~ ♫"

Humming a little tune, Xing Yaoyan lay comfortably on the soft, large sofa, beginning to think about how to use the remaining Spirit Crystals after buying the star marrow.

She reached toward the TV and made a specific gesture; the next moment, the TV turned on.

This was the first time she had watched TV since coming to this world. If she hadn't happened to notice this big fellow in the living room because of her good mood, she felt she might never have turned it on during her time in the Human Alliance.

The TV was currently broadcasting a news variety channel, which was her favorite type of program in her previous life. The sound quality of the speakers was excellent, and the picture was very clear. Everything was so wonderful until...

"According to our reporter, an incident occurred this morning where a hospital patient was slashed. According to an eyewitness, he was sunbathing in the corridor when he suddenly felt a flash of golden light. The next moment, a loud explosion sounded in the room next to him. He was terrified at the time, thinking some thugs had broken in."

"When he approached to observe, it turned out to be a couple playing a game of 'catching a blade with bare hands.' The man ended up with a fractured wrist and multiple cuts on his arm."

"What's shocking is that he actually said: 'It's fine, we were just playing around. Actually, it's not a big deal...' Pfft..."

Boom!

The girl slowly pulled her fist, covered in red Demonic Power, out of the TV which was now sparking and sizzling. A dangerous smile hung on her Face, and the veins on her forehead were twitching.

Can't you have some professional ethics as a host... What do you mean by laughing in the middle of a broadcast!

Although it was indeed funny, this Young Miss is very displeased...

Without a word, she went directly to the official website and reported the program and its host. Still feeling unsatisfied, she spent several thousand credit points to hire a professional internet water army to blast the program's comment section.

After doing all this, she let out a light breath, ordered a new TV on a shopping platform, and then lay back down on the sofa.

However, at this moment, her heart was filled only with shame, indignation, and helplessness; her previous joyful mood was completely gone.

Right! What about my little Linglong!

Xing Yaoyan clapped her hands suddenly and quickly picked up her phone to send a text to Ying Linglong.

Sister Yan: Linglong, are you there?

After waiting for a long time, the chat box remained silent. Xing Yaoyan's heart tightened involuntarily.

In the past, the little cat-girl would reply to any of her messages in seconds...

(Drafts: Linglong, it's really not what you think. The two of us are completely innocent, I just—)

Xing Yaoyan stopped typing, then gave a helpless, bitter smile and deleted all the text in the box.

Forget it, no matter how I explain, it's useless. I already considered this outcome before doing it. Regardless, I don't regret it. Linglong... you have to grow up eventually. You should go see more people and demons. I am not actually your best destination...

Suddenly, a message popped up:

"Heh... finally..."

Xing Yaoyan smiled, feeling that there were quite a few happy events today.

She then checked the time and location of the transaction: the day after tomorrow at noon, No. 28 Kyoto Old Street...
