Rong Yi raised the pot in his hand toward her. "Snow fungus soup. I'm making breakfast."
Qiqi's forehead was dotted with black lines. "You're not using the gas stove?"
Rong Yi said, "Cooking snow fungus soup with Samadhi True Fire is super fast..."
Fine, she'd set aside these bizarre demonic arts for now.
Qiqi asked, "Where did this money come from?"
The Wolf King replied, "Don't worry about where it came from. Just spend it."
Qiqi said, "Rong Yi, robbing a bank is illegal."
The Wolf King asked, "Bank?"
"Meaning a money house."
The Wolf King shook his head. "It's not stolen. I earned it myself..."
Earned it? Could it be that he wasn't home yesterday because he actually went to work? But what kind of job required staying out all night without coming home?
Qiqi immediately thought of the Wolf King's strange logic from earlier—kissing meant paying. Oh god, could this money all be earned through kisses?
If there were a wall in front of her, Qiqi would really want to slam her head into it right now.
But the kitchen had walls on all four sides. Which one should she hit?
While Qiqi was still deliberating, the Wolf King was already stirring the snow fungus soup and explaining in a low voice, "After you went to work yesterday, I went out to look for a job too, but I couldn't find anything suitable... Then, when I went to pick you up in the evening, I ran into an old woman driving a car on the street. She looked pretty wealthy and asked if I'd be willing to go home with her..."
Qiqi slumped into a chair with a thud. No way? He didn't get taken home by that old woman and devoured, did he?
"Th-then what?"
"Then I went home with her. After we got inside, she told me to take off all my clothes..."
"You... did you?"
Rong Yi curled his lip. "How could I? Of course, I refused."
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief—at least he wasn't that dumb.
Rong Yi immediately continued, "I naturally told her to take hers off first."
Qiqi thought: I might as well just crash into the east wall... No, I think I'll just grab a knife and kill myself.
Rong Yi said, "After she took off her clothes, I helped her... catch a demon and get rid of it. She gave me a card, but I didn't take it, so she gave me cash instead. That's it."
"Catch a demon?"
"Yeah, catch a demon. What did you think?" Rong Yi blinked.
Seeing that his prank had succeeded, he was quite pleased and explained in more detail, "That woman had a pretty powerful thousand-year-old demon attached to her back. I encountered it on the street, recognized it as a harmful demon at a glance, and it showed me no respect, so I decided to eliminate it right away. The demon was cunning and ran off. I chased it, but that old woman latched onto me. When she learned there was a demon, she immediately treated me like a deity and begged me to go to her house to catch it. I figured the demon had vanished, likely back to its lair, so I decided to check her place. I thought it would be quick, but that demon was sly and could even create a time barrier..."
"A time barrier?"
"Yeah, a magical illusion that messes with your sense of time. For example, sometimes a minute can feel like a century, while a real-world century might feel like just a minute..."
"Wow? There's such a spell?"
"Yes. But it depends on the caster's cultivation level—like that demon, it tried to trap me inside, but its skills weren't enough, and I broke the barrier in the end... That just took some time. I got home around dawn... and missed picking you up."
