Please ask Chu Li to be the spokesperson

Gu Xiaoyue returned to the Gu Family; this was her first time back.

Chen Butler bowed respectfully to her, "Eldest Miss has returned."

Gu Xiaoyue nodded and got straight to the point, "Uncle Chen, my mother fell down the stairs this morning. I heard from the doctor that she slipped. Please pull up the surveillance footage for me to see."

"This—" Chen Butler said with a troubled expression, "Eldest Miss, to tell you the truth, after the Madam fell this morning, we went to check the surveillance. However, I don't know when it happened, but the surveillance system broke. No one knows what the situation was at that time."

The surveillance was broken? Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but sneer inwardly; how could it be such a coincidence?

Trying to cover it up only makes it more obvious. They really take her for a fool!

Chen Butler led Gu Xiaoyue back to her room.

Upon entering, she was amazed by Mu Qingning's taste.

Previously, when the family situation was average, her room setup was very simple. But now—the room was decorated in pink and tender colors, with all sorts of lace curtains and tablecloths, exquisite ornaments, and cute plush dolls.

She opened the wardrobe, and it was also filled with cute, lovely dresses.

Mu Qingning must have wanted to dress her up like a little princess. Gu Xiaoyue smiled helplessly; this didn't match her style at all.

Perhaps it was because the original owner liked it that Mu Qingning prepared it this way.

Gu Xiaoyue got onto her pink lace princess bed and began to turn her consciousness into the Yu Beast Space.

Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiu, and Qingqing were now all Young life stage 7. Xiao Hei and Xiao Xiong were Young life stage 6. Xiao Lan was Young life stage 5. Xiao Lv and Xiao Mo were Young life stage 4.

It seems that the leveling up of Demon Tier pet beasts is indeed slower than those of the Immortal Tier.

At first, when Xiao Hei was leveling up slowly, she thought it was because she had delayed its development by feeding it Celestial Rank Beast Food in the beginning.

Now, looking at Xiao Lv, who has been eating Demon Tier food all along, it is still slower than Immortal Tier pet beasts of the same level.

She had been in such a rush coming out of Xiao Pan Mountain that she hadn't had time to sell the ferocious beast corpses in the Yu Beast Space.

Gu Xiaoyue sent a message to Chu Li on Star Link, telling him to go to Hualian Shopping Mall together tomorrow.

Of course, besides selling the ferocious beast corpses, she had other things to buy.

The next day, Gu Xiaoyue arrived at school and first asked Teacher Han for a few days off; she needed to go to the hospital to take care of Mu Qingning. Teacher Han approved it.

Gu Xiaoyue then went to the Principal's office to collect the reward for first place in the Xiao Pan Mountain special training.

Principal Liu excitedly praised Gu Xiaoyue and hoped she would continue to work hard, then gave her a bank card containing thirty million star coins.

However, the other students were not very convinced. It must have been because Zhou Chuan and the others returned and told the students that Chu Li had also gone to the Xiao Pan Mountain special training.

They felt that Gu Xiaoyue breaking the record and getting first place this time was just relying on Chu Li.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't bother arguing with them; she knew her own strength, and that was enough.

Even if Chu Li hadn't gone, she could still have broken the record and taken first place, though she might not have killed as many ferocious beasts as she did now.

Gu Xiaoxing didn't come out to jump around either, just glared at her with some unwillingness.

She had no mood to bicker with these kids right now. Strength is supreme—if they had the strength to challenge her, they wouldn't be gossiping behind her back.

Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li went to Hualian Shopping Mall. She first bought a miniature pinhole camera before going to the third floor to find the sales assistant selling beast food.

It had been agreed upon before that Chu Li had a Gold Membership Card, so when purchasing the ferocious beast corpses, they could give an extra 10% more money.

When the sales assistant saw the mountain-like pile of ferocious beast corpses in front of her, she was completely stunned.

"Students, what is this—" The sales assistant didn't know if she should ask where so many ferocious beast corpses came from.

Gu Xiaoyue said lightly, "We went to the Xiao Pan Mountain special training, and these were all killed during the special training."

"So that means you are—" The sales assistant nodded in understanding. She knew that when the college entrance examination was approaching, various middle schools would send excellent students to Xiao Pan Mountain for special training.

"But as far as I know, the students who went before have already completed their transactions."

After all, cashing in early meant they could buy more useful resources sooner. Were these two students in front of her not anxious?

Gu Xiaoyue glanced at Chu Li and said, "Yes, we only just came out yesterday. Something delayed us, otherwise we should have come yesterday."

The sales assistant was even more shocked, her mouth agape. How long had they stayed in Xiao Pan Mountain?

"Please wait a moment. There are too many ferocious beast corpses. I'll go find a colleague to help." The sales assistant trotted off to call a colleague for help.

Then they started recording while calculating the price.

After a while of busyness, the sales assistant said to Gu Xiaoyue, "Student, your ferocious beasts total 36.35 million star coins. After adding 10%, it is 39.98 million star coins. I applied to the supervisor to round it up for you two—40 million star coins. Do you think that's okay?"

Gu Xiaoyue looked at the sales assistant's records. They had listed the ferocious beasts' levels and prices in a table, written clearly and distinctly.

Moreover, Hualian Shopping Mall had branches all over the Dragon Kingdom and wouldn't take advantage of them, so she handed her brain to the sales assistant and let her transfer the money.

After the transaction was finished, the sales assistant invited them to the reception room, saying that the mall manager, Manager Qin, had something to discuss.

Entering the reception room, a short-haired woman in a cream-colored suit was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li enter, she stood up to introduce herself.

"Hello, I am the project manager for the South China region of Hualian Shopping Mall. My surname is Qin. It is very presumptuous to ask you two to come over, but I have a project I would like to discuss with this student."

Manager Qin fixed her gaze on Chu Li. Chu Li looked puzzled and asked in confusion what project it was.

Manager Qin continued, "The two students came to trade ferocious beast corpses today, which I understand is the harvest from the Xiao Pan Mountain special training. Of course, some students have come to trade before, but the level and quantity of the ferocious beasts were not as high as yours. Therefore, I believe that the two of you will achieve remarkable results in the college entrance examination. So, I specifically invited the two of you here today to ask—this male student, are you interested in being the spokesperson for our Hualian Shopping Mall in the South China region?"

Gu Xiaoyue chuckled inwardly. Chu Li was effectively being scouted. She just didn't know if this young master of a prestigious family would be willing to step into the public eye.

Chu Li blushed a little. Before he could open his mouth to refuse, Manager Qin gave another cooperation proposal.

"The endorsement fee is 30 million star coins per year. You would need to shoot a set of promotional posters annually and attend some business occasions, but it will not exceed 6 times a year. We will give you a Platinum Membership Card, which provides a 15% discount within 3 years, and the purchase price for ferocious beast corpses will also be increased by 15%."

Gu Xiaoyue really wanted that Platinum Membership Card; that way, she could save a lot of star coins when buying beast food. However, they specifically asked for Chu Li, so it had nothing to do with her. She was happy to be relaxed.

Chu Li looked at Gu Xiaoyue, seeing her looking like she was unconcerned, thought for a moment, and said, "If it's only me endorsing it, I don't agree. Unless—"

Manager Qin was a bit discouraged when she heard Chu Li say he didn't agree, but hearing what followed, it seemed there was a turning point. "I will do it together with Gu Xiaoyue!"
