Xie Litang wanted to cry, but no tears came.
She fled, the other pursued—Yang Yiyi couldn't escape even with wings.
Xie Litang clutched Yang Yiyi's hands tightly, her eyes welling with emotion as she said, "Top Sales Agent Yang, I've been wishing on stars and moons, and you've finally arrived."
Yang Yiyi didn't dare to breathe, her face twisted in distress. "Miss Xie, please let go of me first. We can talk this out nicely."
However, she truly lived up to being a woman determined to become a legendary salesperson, no matter how hard it was to earn money.
With a wave of her hand, she pulled a crate out from her storage ring.
Upon opening it...
Inside was a hazmat suit that possessed a sleek, high-tech aesthetic.
Yang Yiyi quietly exhaled, then cautiously took a shallow breath before introducing it: "An aerospace-grade hazmat suit. It was originally designed to deal with extreme environments created by certain demon beasts."
"It can withstand absolute zero."
"You can take a bath in magma while wearing it."
"It resists radiation in nuclear blast zones."
"It also offers a decent degree of impact resistance."
"Equipped with a built-in seventy-two-hour air circulation system, you don't need to fear even highly toxic environments."
"I'll give you a friendly discount."
"Eight million."
Xie Litang was so moved that tears filled her eyes, paying immediately as she said, "Top Sales Agent Yang, you are my benefactor!"
Without another word, she grabbed her toiletries, eager to scrub off the foul stench on her body.
Anxiety flashed in Yang Yiyi's eyes.
She hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back.
"Top Sales Agent Yang, is there something else?"
"The stench on your body..."
"Don't worry, Top Sales Agent Yang. I'll be fine once I wash up."
"Miss Xie, you've been thoroughly marinated by those weasels. Regular toiletries won't wash it out."
Boom~
Xie Litang felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Marinated... through and through?
Even Chen Linling, standing not far away, instantly grew serious.
Ignoring the odor, Chen Linling maneuvered her wheelchair forward and said, "Sister Yang, you're well-traveled and knowledgeable. You must have a way, right?"
Yang Yiyi walked over, patted Chen Linling's head, and said, "A way? Of course there is."
Chen Linling said anxiously, "Sister Yang, please help us!"
Yang Yiyi hurriedly waved her hands. "There's no need to beg. Qi's Pharmaceutical Company makes a cleansing agent."
Chen Linling said excitedly, "Sister Yang, I'll pay whatever it costs!"
Yang Yiyi waved her hands again. "It's only a few hundred dollars. It's a standard cleaning product widely used after being contaminated by demon beasts. I'll just give you a box for free."
Pausing for a moment...
Yang Yiyi suddenly winked at Chen Linling and said meaningfully, "Later, give your sister a nice, thorough back scrub, and the odor should disappear."
Chen Linling froze for a second, her eyes then lighting up brightly. "Sister Yang, you are my benefactor!"
Xie Litang was still studying the aerospace-grade hazmat suit.
She looked back suspiciously at the two girls. What were they whispering about?
After whispering a bit more secretively, the relationship between the two girls had visibly elevated to best-friend level.
Chen Linling took Yang Yiyi's hand and said with immense enthusiasm, "Sister Yang, come with me. We've got quite a few weasels stored in the warehouse, and their quality looks pretty high. Give us an estimate."
"High quality? How high?"
"Sister Yang, trust me—as high as a three or four-story building!"
"Alright, I'll go with you right now."
"Sister Yang, you're such a good person. For this batch of goods, I'll make the call and give you an extra percentage off."
"..."
It was just a point or two difference.
Even if Xie Litang found out, it wouldn't matter. Outside the city, Yang Yiyi was the only one willing to take the risk to trade with her, so she was completely worth the extra profit.
In the second-floor bathroom...
Xie Litang drew her bathwater.
She poured the cleansing agent into the bathtub. Setting aside those stupid Yellow Immortals for now, the most important thing was to get rid of the stench on her body first.
Amidst a rustling sound...
Xie Litang unequipped her armor.
She placed the Crane Whisper Battle Armor into another tub to wash it.
Squatting on the floor, Xie Litang scrubbed the Crane Whisper Battle Armor and muttered, "This suit cost millions. It can't be ruined—otherwise, it really would be a total waste."
Only after quite a while did she hang the battle armor up to dry.
Xie Litang then slipped the clothes off her shoulders, revealing her smooth, delicate skin amidst the swirling steam. Her prolonged life in the wilderness hadn't left behind any harsh traces of weather or strain.
Beneath her pale, fair neck lay an unseen expanse measuring somewhere between a C and D cup.
Her waist, hips, and long legs—no matter how many times Xie Litang looked at them, she would marvel at how exquisite this body was.
Just as she was admiring her own beauty...
Creak.
The sound of a key turning in the lock came from the bathroom door.
Xie Litang instinctively covered her chest with one hand and demanded, "Who is it?"
A dry cough came from outside the door, followed by Chen Linling's voice: "Ah, Sis, it's me."
"Linling, what's wrong? Could those damned weasels be back again? Wait a moment, I'll put my clothes on right away and go kill them!"
"Sis, relax. You just wiped out a whole nest of Yellow Immortals, so they probably won't bother us again today."
"Then why did you come to my bathroom, Linling?"
"Sister Yang said you've been thoroughly marinated by the Yellow Immortals all over, and there are many spots you can't reach yourself. Sister Yang told me to come help scrub your back."
Xie Litang cried out in surprise, "Scrub my back?"
Chen Linling spoke in an innocent tone from outside: "Yeah. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Yang. Scrubbing it will make you recover faster so there isn't any residue left."
Xie Litang pondered for a moment before declining politely, "Is that... really appropriate?"
Chen Linling's suspicious voice drifted in: "Wait, Sis, what's wrong with it? We're both girls, and I'm your sister. What's wrong with me scrubbing your back?"
Bullshit "both girls."
Inside Xie Litang's body dwelled a genuine male soul.
Before transmigrating, she wasn't some crossdresser or womanizer, and after transmigrating, her own physical assets were so great that she didn't care for other women at all.
As a male soul, one could be lustful, but one definitely had to have bottom-line boundaries.
Besides, she herself was exquisitely beautiful now.
Anyway, for now, she didn't have much interest in other women.
Just as her thoughts were straying and wandering...
Chen Linling had already pushed the door open, entering with toiletries in hand. Seeing Xie Litang's strange expression, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Sis, what on earth is wrong with you?"
Ahem.
Cough, cough, cough.
Xie Litang cleared her throat dryly, wrapping a bath towel around herself. Intending to give Chen Linling a proper life lesson, she said with earnest gravity, "Linling, you are not a child anymore."
Chen Linling's expression straightened, agreeing while correcting her: "Sister is right. I'm not a child anymore."
"So Sister, what are you actually trying to say?"
"Chen Linling, I've told you before that girls need to protect themselves—like keeping their secrets and privacy safe."
"But I'll never have secrets in front of Sister."
"That's not the point!"
"Then what is the point?"
Chen Linling knew the situation had reached a climax; relentless offense wasn't necessarily the best approach.
She swore that she would always love her sister, but right now, Chen Linling decided to retreat in order to advance.
She looked deeply at Xie Litang, and then, as if coming to a sudden revelation, asked, "Sis... you don't think I like you like that, do you?"
Xie Litang's immediate reaction was to wave her hands frantically. "I didn't! I don't!"
Chen Linling continued digging the trap.
"That's good then."
"Sis, I only view you as my sister."
"Sis, I'm going to get married to a man in the future, you know."
The highest-level hunters often strike while disguised as prey.
Xie Litang suddenly felt an unpleasant sensation in her heart, almost as if her chest had been stabbed twice.
It wasn't fatal, but it hurt nevertheless.
At the same time, she let down all of her defenses.
