64: These two bastards!

“Roar—”

The river water boiled and churned like a pot.

Through the water, two colossal beasts could vaguely be seen entangled in the river, tearing at each other.

Soon, the struggle ended, and the turbulent river water gradually calmed.

“Splash—”

A Titan Beast, shimmering with metallic luster, burst out of the river.

The Steel Sea Dragon’s claws clutched a monster that was neither entirely fish nor entirely crocodile—a Cunning Lizard Beast.

The Cunning Lizard Beast is a relatively docile medium-sized monster.

It spends most of its time in the water, but when laying eggs, it uses its wings to fly far from the riverbank to build its nest.

Zhang Fan transformed back into human form and put the Cunning Lizard Beast’s corpse into a storage bottle.

Da Mimi flew down, grabbed Zhang Fan’s arm, and with a powerful flick, tossed him onto her neck.

Zhang Fan took the opportunity to straddle her.

Half a day had passed since Li Shuangkui and Wang Lili were killed.

During this time, Zhang Fan and Da Mimi had been hunting monsters.

Da Mimi was responsible for scouting and serving as a mount, while Zhang Fan handled the hunting.

Their cooperation was seamless; in just half a day, they had hunted a total of 32 medium-sized Titan Beasts.

The harvest was incredibly impressive!

Medium-sized Titan Beasts were much more valuable than low-level monsters.

They fetched anywhere from several hundred thousand to several million.

These 32 medium-sized monsters combined could sell for at least 40 million!

If they split it, they would each get 20 million, which was like picking up money!

“Brother, at this rate, it won’t be long before I can buy a Wilderness Villa too!”

Guo Mi was overjoyed, her voice brimming with delight.

She had never imagined that making money could be so easy.

Previously, when her aunt brought her to the Wilderness Area, her aunt would just drop her off somewhere and then disappear.

Everything else was up to Guo Mi herself: finding monsters, fighting them, and processing their corpses.

This had been the case for years; it was not only dangerous but also incredibly tedious.

Being alone was too boring!

But now, with her beloved brother accompanying her, she only had to find the monsters, leaving the rest to him.

It was easy, pleasant, and joyful—truly making money while lying down.

“Don’t buy a Wilderness Villa; if you’re going to buy something, get a starry sky z9!”

Zhang Fan lay on Guo Mi’s back, resting: “I have a house, you have a car—it’s a perfect match and will save us a lot of money!”

“Mm-hmm, that makes sense!”

Da Mimi nodded her big head: “Then I’ll save up for a starry sky z9!”

“Huh?”

Guo Mi suddenly exclaimed, excited: “Brother Zhang Fan, quick! I found an Armored Eel!!”

“Armored Eel? Good stuff!”

Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up: “Armored Eel is considered the most expensive medium-sized monster, isn’t it? Quick! Don’t let it get away!”

The Armored Eel evolved from the common eel, and unlike the smooth-skinned eel, the Armored Eel is covered in pangolin-like scales, hence its name.

The Armored Eel’s scales are incredibly hard and make excellent material for armor.

The Armored Eel’s meat is exceptionally delicious and highly nutritious.

Plus, they are rare!

These three factors keep the price of the Armored Eel consistently high.

It’s even more valuable than many cheaper high-level Titan Beasts!

Such a valuable Armored Eel naturally could not be missed!

…

The sun set, the afterglow faded, and night gradually enveloped the land.

Zhang Fan and Guo Mi found a dilapidated residential building by the Ba River and set up the Wilderness Villa.

Then they entered the villa, and Jiang Shengnan naturally followed.

Surveying the luxurious villa with its cyberpunk style, even the usually aloof Jiang Shengnan couldn’t help but glance sideways.

“It truly lives up to its 380 million price tag; it’s indeed luxurious!”

Jiang Shengnan was deeply impressed.

Although she had also made a significant profit, she would absolutely not be willing to spend hundreds of millions on such a luxurious villa.

She truly couldn’t bear to; Jiang Shengnan intended to save this money to buy cultivation resources and strive for the Golden Core Realm.

She was still young and talented, with full potential to reach the Golden Core!

Once she achieved the Golden Core, not only would her lifespan greatly increase, but her combat power would also surge.

By then, earning money and protecting Da Mimi would be much easier.

“Teacher Jiang, please make yourself at home! Just treat this place as your own!”

Zhang Fan said with a warm smile; he was still very grateful to Jiang Shengnan.

This aloof and beautiful young teacher had saved him twice!

Jiang Shengnan softly acknowledged: “I’ll go take a shower first! Oh, and Zhang Fan, which room should I stay in?”

“Any room is fine, Teacher Jiang, just pick one you like!”

Zhang Fan smiled.

“Mm!”

Teacher Jiang nodded lightly and ascended the stairs with her long, straight legs.

“Brother, I’m going to wash up too; I feel sticky!”

Guo Mi also went upstairs, leaving Zhang Fan alone in the living room.

Zhang Fan didn’t idle; he went to the kitchen and summoned the smart home system, little city.

“little city, order food!”

“Swish—”

A light screen materialized in front of Zhang Fan, displaying a list of menus.

The power of the smart home system lay in its integration of functions like cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, mopping, tidying rooms, and disposing of trash.

It could even tutor children with homework; it could be said that anything related to a household, it could do!

“Steamed eggplant with garlic, stir-fried chives with shredded pork, Mapo Tofu…”

Zhang Fan ordered 8 dishes in one breath, a total of four meat and four vegetable dishes, including a steamed Titan Dragon Turtle meat dish.

Titan Dragon Turtle meat was a great tonic, a food Zhang Fan had to eat every day!

“Alright! That’s all for now. Approximately when will it be ready?”

“Half an hour!”

little city replied.

“Not bad! Then you start cooking; I’ll go take a shower too!”

Zhang Fan went to the master bedroom upstairs, took a quick shower, and came out.

He had been soaking in the Ba River all day, so a simple rinse was enough.

Afterward, Zhang Fan went to the living room and opened the virtual interface to browse the internet.

After browsing for a while, Da Mimi came downstairs, wearing only underwear and a bra, covering her vital parts.

Her fair skin, like milk, glowed under the lights.

Her full breasts were high, her waist was slender like a willow, and her perky, rounded buttocks were firm and shapely.

She was plump where she should be and thin where she should be, without an ounce of excess flesh on her body.

Zhang Fan couldn’t help but steal a few more glances. Da Mimi smiled and sat on his lap, her voice a little sweet:

“Brother, do I look good?”

“Beautiful!”

Zhang Fan spoke truthfully.

Da Mimi gave him a seductive look and wrapped her arms around Zhang Fan’s neck: “Then do you want some pre-dinner dessert?”

“Yes!”

“What are you waiting for, Brother?”

Faced with such blatant temptation, how could Zhang Fan resist?

He picked Da Mimi up by the waist and went upstairs, thumping up the steps.

…

When Jiang Shengnan came out after her shower, dressed in clean clothes, she didn’t see Zhang Fan or her niece.

She did, however, see the cooking robot busy in the kitchen.

“Where are they?”

Jiang Shengnan furrowed her delicate brows.

At this moment, faint moaning sounds drifted down from upstairs.

Jiang Shengnan listened for a moment, and her aloof face instantly turned red.

“Those two rascals!”

When Zhang Fan and Da Mimi returned to the living room, Jiang Shengnan had already gone back to her room, and the table was filled with dishes.

“Where’s Teacher Jiang?”

Zhang Fan was a bit confused: “Hasn’t she finished showering yet?”

Guo Mi’s small face was red, and she pointed to a used set of chopsticks and a bowl in the kitchen: “Auntie must have eaten already!”

…

After dinner, the two went into the home theater, as Guo Mi had requested.

In her words, they had been together for so long but had never properly watched a movie, so it was time to make up for it.

“What do you want to watch?”

Zhang Fan opened the movie list.

“Watch that one!”

Guo Mi said without hesitation: “Pacific Ocean Love and Death!”

“What’s so good about a romance movie? Sci-fi movies are much better!”

“No! I want to watch a romance movie. Give me the remote!”
