Chapter 132 Visiting Qiu Yi's Home
Ye Xi'an, speaking in a high-pitched voice, completely forgot how afraid she used to be of other people getting close, and kept calling her "Sister Qiu Yi": "Sister Qiu Yi, although I really want to live with you, I still want to rely on myself, but I will come to visit you often."

Ye Xi'an felt that as the head of the family, even if she wanted to curry favor with a rich woman, she couldn't be too obvious. On the surface, she still had to rely on herself. Otherwise, what if the men followed suit and ran off with the rich woman?

Moreover, if she's too obviously sycophantic, she'll lose all authority at home, even though she never really had any authority to begin with.

Although she had decided to rely on herself, the rich woman's legs were a rare find, so she had to seize the opportunity to befriend her.

If she suddenly goes bankrupt and can't find a place to rent in the future, she can still seek Qiu Yi's help.

Qiu Yi felt a little sorry to hear that Ye Xi'an wasn't going to live with her. She still really wanted Ye Xi'an to live with her; a soft, fragrant female would definitely be more comfortable to hug than a hard, stiff male.

"Alright, I'll show you around my house."

Qiu Yi led Ye Xi'an's family down the red carpet into the somewhat imposing palace. The interior decoration was no less impressive than its extravagant exterior, and it was glittering with gold everywhere.

Ye Xi'an tilted her head back, her mouth slightly agape as she looked at the seemingly bottomless ceiling, and exclaimed, "Sister Qiu Yi, is your house made entirely of gold?"

"No, that's not true. Gold ore is very rare nowadays, and we don't have much at home. We just plated the surface of the walls with gold; the inside is just ordinary material."

Ye Xi'an swallowed hard. Even if it was just plated with a layer of gold, the amount of gold must be astonishing.

After walking through the large living room, Ye Xi'an entered a corridor. There were many neat square holes on both sides of the corridor, and protective covers and ceiling lights were installed on the surface of each hole.

Each cavity was filled with items, making it look a bit like a museum exhibit.

She enthusiastically introduced the items inside to Ye Xi'an, each one a trophy she had brought back from other planets.

"So many? How many planets would it take to collect this many?"

"Only about five hundred."

Ye Xi'an's family was shocked once again. Over five hundred missions? Seriously?

If that's the case, Qiu Yi must be at least five hundred years old. No wonder he's of such a high rank; he's a powerful senior.

By the time we finished visiting Qiu Yi's castle, it was already noon.

"Let's go to the living room for dinner after we're done looking around. The food is ready."

Ye Xi'an's family took their seats in the living room. Although their promiscuous behavior showed a lack of sophistication, they couldn't resist the sight of it.

The Qiu family's living room is like a tourist attraction, as tall as five stories, with dozens of Bohemian crystal chandeliers hanging down, each composed of hundreds of perfectly cut crystals, the refracted light making the entire hall as bright as day.

The dining table in the center of the hall is twenty meters long and looks like it is made of pure gold. Its surface is carved with intricate vine patterns, and its legs are shaped like coiled dragons.

Each seat is set with sterling silver and gold-plated cutlery, the handles of the knives and forks inlaid with emeralds and rubies. The wine glasses are carved from a single piece of crystal, and when red wine is poured in, the liquid seems to glow.

Ye Xi'an clicked her tongue in amazement. It was too extravagant. She wished she could be that extravagant if she had the chance.

"Would you like to sit with me, or in the seat of honor?"

According to tradition, Ye Xi'an and she should sit at opposite ends of the table to signify the dignity of the female status. However, that would prevent her from speaking to Ye Xi'an, so she still wanted Ye Xi'an to sit next to her.

But that depends on Ye Xi'an's wishes.

Ye Xi'an naturally sat with Qiu Yi, wanting to cultivate a better relationship with the wealthy woman.

Ye Xi'an sat down next to Qiu Yi and suggested, "This table is so inconvenient. Why not use a round table? With a round table, everyone can sit closer together and reach the food."

"There's not enough room." Qiu Yi clapped his hands as he spoke, and a group of handsome men walked in from outside.

Their eyes were fixed on Qiu Yi, who sat in the main seat, their gazes filled with fervor and longing.

Ye Xi'an was taken aback by the scene and asked in a low voice, "Who are they?"

"My husbands."

After speaking with Ye Xi'an, Qiu Yi said to the group of men, "Alright, sit down."

As soon as Qiu Yi finished speaking, the group of males went berserk, pushing and shoving each other as they rushed toward Qiu Yi's other side, as if they were fighting over gold.

Some people even started fighting.

Seeing this, Ye Xi'an's lips twitched: "Aren't you going to do anything about them?"

"I'm not interested in getting involved. Besides, don't you think this scene is interesting?" Qiu Yi watched the scene of the hundred heroes vying for positions with great interest, thinking that watching it before dinner would whet his appetite.

"alright."

The beasts took their seats one after another, but there were too many of them for the twenty-meter-long dining table to accommodate them all. The remaining people could only slink away to the side hall to eat.

The side hall also features a 20-meter dining table, but the material has been changed to a certain type of wood.

Ye Xi'an became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the photos. Did all wealthy families really live like this?

As everyone took their seats, one exquisite dish after another was served, each plate a delicacy.

Ye Xi'an even saw rare and protected animals that were once rare on Earth.

"Okay, let's eat."

After Qiu Yi finished speaking, no one dared to touch their chopsticks. They all waited for her to take the first bite. Only after she started eating did the males begin to eat one after another.

The moment the delicious taste entered her mouth, Ye Xi'an was so moved she almost cried. Was this the allure of money? She suddenly felt like going to the mission center next door to pick up a mission.

After lunch, Qiu Yi took Ye Xi'an on a tour of the entire manor, but it was so large that they had to take a flying vehicle.

When it was time to say goodbye that evening, Ye Xi'an was a little reluctant to part with Qiu Yi.

The two embraced each other with mutual affection. Ye Xi'an even rubbed against Qiu Yi's shoulder, hoping that Qiu Yi's wealth could be shared with her, just enough for her to buy a villa.

"Sister Qiu Yi, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Yi hugged Ye Xi'an, who was as big as a pillow, and was overjoyed: "What is it? Tell me."

"Actually, the family that took your task but didn't do anything is my family."

Qiu Yi: She had scolded this guy who took the money but did nothing many times at home. She never expected it to be Ye Xi'an. No wonder she sometimes felt that Ye Xi'an looked at her strangely.

Ye Xi'an hugged Qiu Yi and could clearly feel the stiffness in Qiu Yi's body. He immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry, I was blinded by the contribution points back then. Please give me a chance to make it up to you!"

Qiu Yi chuckled twice: "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. I was wondering why no one came to rescue me."

"It's a good thing you took on the task; someone else might not have been able to get rid of the mutated vines."

Ye Xi'an felt a little guilty, knowing that Qiu Yi was just comforting her. If it had been another powerful family that took on the mission, Qiu Yi's two husbands might not have died.
