Chapter 217: Four Trillion, Here I Come! (1/2)

Pulling Hu Xian’er by her hand, Bai Xiaofei walked in a spirited manner toward the Babel Merchant House. After working so hard, it was time to reap his harvest! He had initially planned to call Fang Ye along because back then when he had placed the bet, Fang Ye had also been present. But when he thought of how even Lin Li was not here to receive their prize, he decided to let Fang Ye suffer the same fate as well.

Nothing is more important than my wifey!

Although Bai Xiaofei was still in a secret relationship with Hu Xian’er, he was playing the role of a husband. At times, how a man treated his woman was not related to his upbringing. Some things would always be innately etched in a man’s character, and Bai Xiaofei’s character was one to not mistreat anyone.

Along the way, Hu Xian’er never stopped smiling. The words Bai Xiaofei had spoken earlier were still replaying in her ears, and a blissful expression covered her face. Bai Xiaofei had imagined that he would be the center of attention when walking while holding Hu Xian’er’s hand like this, but that did not happen as everyone was too busy with the new student registration and the numerous associated tasks and events. After all, no other faculty was as free as the Demon of Illusions.

The two passed by one building after another and finally arrived outside the lavish Babel Merchant House. Most of the people who had won something from their bets had essentially redeemed their prize shortly after winning. Not many people were as carefree as Bai Xiaofei, who had waited one whole day before coming to redeem his prize. Then again, it was understandable why Bai Xiaofei was not worried. The money was there waiting for him and would be his sooner or later. There was no point to being in a rush.

“Hello, fellow students. Are you here to redeem your prize or for some other business transaction?” asked the hostess as friendly as usual. In truth, her attitude was even better compared to the last time Bai Xiaofei was here. Rui Mengqi’s transformation had served as a lesson to everyone here. None dared to look down on any customers anymore.

“Redeem my prize,” Bai Xiaofei replied, his mood incomparably good. But at the same time, he also braced himself for any mishaps that might happen.

Four trillion Amethyst Coins would probably not be so easy to redeem.

“Sure, please come with me,” said the hostess with a smile. She turned and started leading the way.

“Can I have a look at the receipt? Depending on the amount of the prize, we will be redeeming it at a different location,” asked the hostess routinely as they walked through the spacious and cold lounge. Bai Xiaofei’s reply stunned her.

“There’s no need to look at the receipt. I am Bai Xiaofei. You are familiar with this name, right?”

Bai Xiaofei?!

The name resounded in the hostess’s ears like a thunderclap. She was stunned for five seconds before she quickly turned around in panic.

“Sorry. Sorry, I was not aware that you were…”

“Don’t worry about it. Just tell me where to go. Don’t be sorry. I’m not so easily angered,” Bai Xiaofei replied with a bright smile, placating her at the same time. Inwardly, Bai Xiaofei was feeling very helpless.

What the hell? Since when am I a demon? Why are you so scared?

Bai Xiaofei was busy cussing in his heart. Little did he know that he was more than a demon to the Babel Merchant House. He was a nightmare! Since the previous incident with Sister Lin and her getting defamed and losing the favor of the higher ups, all the hostesses started praying to never encounter Bai Xiaofei.

Slowly but surely, a certain image of Bai Xiaofei had formed in their hearts: he was an extremely difficult customer, one who was extremely shameless and terrifying.

Thus, the hostess’s reaction was understandable. Bai Xiaofei was merely unaware of it.
