D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

"The first thing is to resell the cufflinks I sold you as soon as possible. You must sell them to a planet beyond this desolate place, the farther the better."

"understood."

"The second thing is to help me find elderberry."

"Uh, this..."

On this desolate planet, medicines are scarce and expensive, and are mostly bought and sold in major cities.

Finding elderberry and getting it to Kenta City would be quite expensive, and he was just a small business owner who couldn't afford to cover that cost.

He wasn't quite clear about the market situation before, which is why he agreed to let Lu Yuan inquire for him.

After figuring out the cost, he gave up immediately. He had a rough idea of ​​Lu Yuan's financial situation and knew he couldn't afford it. He didn't tell Lu Yuan either, fearing Lu Yuan would pester him, and kept making excuses that he hadn't found out the details yet.

But now that even the God of Slaughter wants him, he dares not play coy anymore and can only tell the truth.

"It's not impossible to find them if you really want to, but you have to pay a deposit first. The medicinal herbs are expensive, and I really can't get them without money to pave the way."

How much do you want?

The boss calculated in his mind for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Five hundred star coins."

Seeing that Rhein didn't speak, and fearing that Rhein might think he was trying to scam him, the boss quickly spoke up.

"I didn't inflate the price. I heard that an elderberry was sold for a thousand star coins two years ago."

"it is good."

Rhine handed 500 star coins to the boss. The boss was stunned when he saw the money. He didn't expect that Lu Yuan's female lord was richer than Lu Yuan. But who cares, as long as she has money.

The shopkeeper happily accepted the money.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find it for you."

With money paving the way, efficiency naturally improved. Half a month later, Rhine received a message secretly passed to him by his boss, saying that the elderberry had been found.

Rhine gave the remaining five hundred star coins to the boss and asked him to find a way to give the elderberry to Lu Yuan naturally, without attracting insects or suspicion, for free.

Rhine had thought it through. He wanted to regrow his leg, but that would be too much of a commotion to hide from Lu Yuan. So he decided to let the elderberry tree appear in his home legitimately.

The next day, Lu Yuan received a message from his boss telling him that the elderberry had been found in their shop.

Upon hearing the good news, Lu Yuan grabbed Rhine and rushed home. They pulled out all their savings, about 120 star coins, and then, with the star coins in hand, took Rhine and hurried to Kenta City, fearing that if they were too late, someone else would buy her.

Upon arriving at the shop, the owner led Lu Yuan and Rhein to a small room in the back and carefully took out something that looked like a tree branch.

The branches are light reddish-brown with obvious elongated oval lenticels and emit an unpleasant odor.

"It's a long way to find this elderberry. It took me a lot of effort to find it."

"Thank you for your hard work, boss. How much is it? We'll buy it."

"One hundred star coins."

Rhine wanted the boss to naturally give the elderberry to Lu Yuan for free. The boss thought about it carefully. Since it had to be natural, it would be too strange to just give it away right away.

So he thought he'd quote 100 star coins first. He knew Lu Yuan wouldn't accept such a high price and would definitely try to bargain.

Then he could take the opportunity to make a condition, asking Lu Yuan to find something for him to pay off the debt. Elderberry, since everyone knows each other so well, let Lu Yuan take it back first.

Then he secretly gave what he was looking for to Rhine, and asked Rhine to give it to Lu Yuan to complete the transaction.

That solves the problem perfectly; it's not deliberate at all and won't arouse any suspicion from the insects.

"it is good."

"I know the price is a bit high, but how about this... oh, what did you say?"

"I said okay, deal, boss."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out 100 Star Coins and handed them to the boss. Then, he happily took the elderberry and turned to leave.

Rhine followed him out, but before leaving, she turned and gave the boss a cold look. The boss froze on the spot, speechless with despair.

On the way back, Rhine said, "My lord, we only had 120 star coins at home, and now we only have 20 star coins left."

"Yes, luckily I had 120 star coins. After buying it, I still had 20 star coins left. I was worried about not having enough money. I even thought that if I didn't have enough, I would talk to the boss to see if I could buy on credit."

Rhein pursed his lips.

"My lord, would it be alright to use most of the family's money to buy me medicine?"

Lu Yuan looked at Rhine in surprise.

"Why would you ask that? You're the pillar of this family now. The family's wealth depends entirely on you. It's only natural to use it to buy you medicine. Don't overthink it. Here, take this elderberry. Let's go home."

As Rhine watched Lu Yuan's retreating figure, he felt his heart begin to pound uncontrollably.

Since his birth, Lu Yuan is the second male insect to buy things for him.

The first one was Song Mo. When they were together, Song Mo would often give him small gifts, so he had a good impression of Song Mo and felt that Song Mo was not the kind of male insect that only demanded things from female insects.

But upon closer reflection, the money Song Mo used to buy him the small gifts was actually given to him by him, and all those small gifts combined amounted to less than one-tenth of the money he gave Song Mo.

Lu Yuan, however, spent almost all his savings to buy elderberry for him.

But then, Rhine closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed his heartbeat.

He told himself, "Alright, Rhine, you've met male insects who can put on an act before. What good is it if they can act well? When power, wealth, and beauty come their way, they'll become no different from other male insects. You can't fall for it a second time."

When he opened his eyes again, Rhine had regained his composure and caught up with Lu Yuan without any apparent change in his behavior.

Upon returning home, Rhine prepared to use elderberry immediately, as his limp was having a significant impact on him, and he wanted to recover as quickly as possible.

Rhein recalled the methods of using elderberry he had heard about before. He cut off a piece of elderberry, boiled a large pot of water, and the taste of the water was nauseating.

However, both insects, which had been subjected to the stench of garbage for a long time, adapted well and did not react much.

Then Rhine sat on the bed and broke his crooked ankle again.

Rhine was too fast; Lu Yuan didn't even have time to react before he had already finished breaking it.

His face was expressionless. If it weren't for his slightly trembling hands and sweaty forehead, Lu Yuan would have almost thought that he had a problem with his pain receptors.

While Lu Yuan was still in shock, Rhine had already finished a bowl of elderberry water that she had prepared in advance, and then applied the remaining elderberry water to her wound.

Lu Yuan rushed over to help. After applying the external dressing, he followed Rhine's instructions and tied the remaining piece of elderberry to the broken ankle.

After finishing everything, Rhine lay down exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

Lu Yuan sat beside Rhine to take care of her. Only after confirming that Rhine did not have a fever in the evening did he quietly go back to his own mattress to sleep.
