As if they were in sync, when Lin Su looked at William, he happened to raise his gaze too. Their eyes met, and Lin Su curved his black eyes into a radiant smile.

William’s dog ears involuntarily twitched, and the softest part of his heart was gently stirred, creating ripples.

After finalizing the price, Mu’en called his subordinates to come and pick the fruits. “Be careful, it’s okay to be slower, but don’t damage anything.”

These fruits hanging here were not ordinary fruits; they were life-saving “elixirs”!

Mu’en had already brought the necessary tools and baskets, so Lin Su didn’t need to do anything. The group of people started picking the fruits in a grand manner.

This activity attracted quite a bit of attention.

It was said that the official government of the North Star had sent people to collect fruits from Lin Su’s home.

Those who had mocked him for being obsessed with money when they saw the prices, wondering if he would cry when he couldn’t sell them and they rotted, now remained silent.

The fact proved that there was no such thing as unsellable fruit from Lin Su’s family.

Watching those baskets of fruits being weighed and loaded onto trucks, the onlookers couldn’t help but ask, “How much are they selling for?”

“They certainly won’t be cheap, but selling to the North Star government won’t fetch retail prices!”

“I think so too. Don’t underestimate Lin Su; who knows what he’s capable of when facing the authorities!”

Even though they said such things, as they watched those baskets of fruits being loaded onto the trucks, a sour feeling grew inside them.

Mu’en chose two apples and one orange from the three trees. After weighing them, they totaled 160 kilograms. Calculating it, Lin Su made a net profit of 320,000.

After loading everything onto the truck, Lin Su personally saw them off.

Mu’en returned fully loaded from this trip, smelling the fresh fruit fragrance in the truck’s cargo bed, feeling exceptionally good.

Next to him, Luo Manman drooled as he looked at the yellow and red apples and oranges in the cargo bed, licking his lips. “Boss, can we each have a few of these fruits? Can we not send them all to be made into nutritional supplements?”

As soon as Luo Manman spoke, everyone sitting in the carriage looked at Mu’en eagerly, although they tried to hide their intentions.

Mu’en reached out and patted Luo Manman’s head. “You’re quite scheming.”

Although he said that, a smile appeared on Mu’en’s face. “But you guys are in luck. I applied to the Stellar Domain before I came here. Everyone in our department will receive five fruits as a reward for discovering someone with purification abilities and establishing a good relationship. Is that okay?”

“Minister, you’re amazing!”

“Minister, if I weren’t married, I would fall in love with you!”

“Get lost! No one wants the love of a male!” Mu’en couldn’t help but laugh and scold them helplessly. “Take what you want, but don’t take more than five!”

“Don’t worry, Minister. We won’t take more!”

“Yeah, we’ll just choose the bigger ones!”

In the morning, Lin Su earned 320,000 in his account, making him explosively happy. He called Su Jin, who was sweeping the yard, and said, “Female Father, catch a wild chicken later. We’ll have something nice for dinner tonight.”

These few chickens had been raised for some time, but since they weren’t laying eggs actively, they might as well be eaten.

Su Jin piled up the leaves that fell during the fruit picking to the side and smiled as he rolled up his sleeves. “Alright, I’ll take care of it.”

After spending so much time with Lin Su, Su Jin’s cooking skills had also improved a lot.

Lin Su picked up a few large leaves to prepare for later, intending to smear mud and roast chicken on them.

Kane sat on a stool, helping Su Jin pluck the chicken feathers. Meanwhile, Lin Su sat by William’s recliner, washing the large leaves he had picked up. Seizing the opportunity, he asked, “How much does a hovercar cost?”

As soon as he spoke, William remembered the promise made by the young female when he hugged him that day, saying he wanted to buy a car for him.

Originally, William thought Lin Su was just a passing fancy, but now that he mentioned it again, William’s heart felt ticklish, as if feathers were gently brushing against it. He reached out and tugged at Lin Su’s sleeve, activating the holographic screen of his smart brain, and typed: “I don’t need a hovercar in my current situation. Don’t waste money on me, buy something you like.”

Lin Su squinted his eyes and replied, “You don’t need to save money for me. I earn money to spend on my spouse. But if you don’t want a car, is there something else you want? How about I buy you a gold chain?”

When it came to a gold chain, Lin Su couldn’t help but glance at William’s neck.

The large fox had white fur, a slender neck, and beautiful collarbones. With a small gold chain, it would undoubtedly look stunning.

A gold chain alone seemed a bit plain; it would be best to pair it with a small pendant.

Thinking this way, Lin Su thought it was a great idea and decided to buy it when he had the time.

When William heard the words “gold chain,” he couldn’t help but look at the three gold bells on his ankle. He remembered what Lin Su had said before, ‘I don’t know what other people’s wives are like, but my wife definitely needs to have gold jewelry.’ His half-drooping tail tip gently swayed, and the screen flickered: “Okay.”

Seeing that William also liked the gold chain, Lin Su smiled even more beautifully. While smiling, he nodded and said, “Then I’ll buy it for you when we go to town!”

Indeed, no wife could resist the temptation of gold jewelry!

Su Jin finished preparing the chicken, and Lin Su had all the materials ready.

They stuffed the seasoning into the chicken’s belly, smeared it with oil, wrapped it in large leaves, and then covered it with a thick layer of mud before throwing it into the bonfire.

Kane was taken aback when he saw Lin Su do this. He exclaimed, “Little Su, is this going to work?”

“Don’t worry, Male Father. It’ll be ready soon. You’ll see after we taste it,” Lin Su reassured him.

Just as they were talking, a voice came from outside, “Kane, I heard that the government people came to your house again and took away a batch of fruits. You made a lot of money, right?”

Looking at the people around the yard, they were all idlers who didn’t have much to do on regular days.

Today, Mu’en brought so many people here and took away a batch of fruits, so these people couldn’t help but be tempted.

Thinking about their current situation, although Lin Su now had purification abilities, he was still a young female after all. Su Jin might not be much better than Lin Su when it came to self-defense.

William, who had been lying in the chair, opened his eyes and coldly looked at the three males outside the yard who harbored ill intentions.

There was a foul odor emanating from them, like dark and ugly reptiles in the sewer, and their greedy desires were written all over their faces.

Kane stood up and instinctively blocked Lin Su behind him, releasing the aura belonging to a B-rank Contracted Beast: “Scram, this has nothing to do with you guys!”

Even though Kane had retired for many years, he was still a soldier, and that kind of killing intent remained in him. Moreover, he was a B-rank Contracted Beast. Even after years of mental disorder, the pressure he emitted at this moment made the three young males outside the gate feel uneasy.
