Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Even Top-Tier Males Get Jealous

"B-Boss Yu."

Under the pressure from four top-tier males, the young male stammered, "I, I have Intermediate Spiritual Power, but I can do anything. C-Could you consider taking me in...?"

"I’m sorry," Yu An said with an apologetic smile. "I have five Beast Husbands already, and that’s enough. I’m not planning on looking for any more."

The male knew his sudden confession would likely be rejected, but he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

But he had tried, which was at least better than not trying at all.

Hearing Yu An’s refusal, the four men breathed a collective sigh of relief. But they soon realized they had relaxed too early.

’Yu An had rejected this one, but that didn’t mean she would reject the next. What male hadn’t been rejected when confessing his love?’

The eligible males who followed were just like the first, boldly professing their love.

The extroverted ones confessed directly, while the introverted ones expressed their feelings shyly. Mo Yan and the other three spent the entire afternoon doing nothing but using their glares to drive off romantic rivals.

This gave the other Beastmen something to enjoy besides the barbecue—a huge helping of drama, which they watched with great relish.

’So even the esteemed Merfolk King and the Clan Leader of the Tiger Clan get jealous when their Female Master is too popular!’

Yu An’s barbecuing skills grew more and more practiced. Soon, the fourth day came to a successful close. At a rate of one thousand silver coins per day, she had earned four thousand so far.

In the eyes of others, it was a business with colossal profits, but for Yu An, it still wasn’t enough.

"Sigh."

’At this rate, when will I ever earn enough gold and silver to upgrade my superpower!’

Lan Ying noticed her mood, and a flicker of understanding crossed his face. "An’an, I have a small errand to run. I’ll head back a little later."

"Okay, go ahead. Don’t be too late."

Yu An didn’t think much of it, but Mo Yan and the other two exchanged a look, vaguely guessing what Lan Ying was up to.

Ao Wu’s entire fortune was in Yu An’s Space, so he was currently a pauper and couldn’t produce a thing.

Mo Yan, on the other hand, had assets, but they were far away and he would have to go back personally to retrieve them. He couldn’t leave right now, so there was no point in getting anxious.

Only Feng Xuan seemed agitated. He had also sent a message to his clan. ’Why are the Merfolk Clan so fast?’

’Useless, a bunch of useless fools! All that meat they ate was for nothing!’

"I’m so tired. Mo Yan, I want to eat noodles tonight."

Back home, Yu An didn’t want to move a muscle. Da Hu and his two younger brothers expertly started giving her a massage, while Yu An unceremoniously ordered Mo Yan to go make dinner.

"Alright, I’ll go make it."

Mo Yan stroked her head. "You get some rest. How about I do the cooking tomorrow?"

She had to stand in front of the grill all afternoon every day, and it pained him to see it.

’It’s true she needs gold and silver to upgrade her superpower, but she’s earning so little. When will she ever have enough?’

’Maybe I should just make a trip back and bring all my assets here. A rough estimate would be several million.’

"No way," Yu An refused with a wave of her hand. "I’m afraid you won’t get the heat right. It can’t be off by even a little."

She had very high standards when it came to food.

Seeing how his heart ached for her, Yu An reassured him, "Oh, I’m not actually tired. I just wanted to be lazy and get out of cooking."

"Even if I am tired, it’s just a little bit. I have my superpower, so I recover quickly."

Mo Yan wasn’t entirely convinced, but he couldn’t win an argument with her, so he went to make dinner first.

"An’an, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now."

Feng Xuan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "The food you make is one-of-a-kind on this entire continent. Why don’t you sell it for a higher price?"

"Han Ling City may be in the exiled land, but there are just as many wealthy people here as in any other city."

Ao Wu nodded in agreement. Forget this place; even in his homeland, he had never seen food like this.

His homeland wasn’t as primitive as this place, where people ate raw meat and drank blood. They already knew how to cook food, but their methods were simple and the results weren’t as delicious as Yu An’s cooking.

Thinking of his homeland, he glanced at Yu An without anyone noticing.

’When the time is right, I’ll take An’an home. My foster father will be thrilled to meet her!’

"It’s not all about earning money to upgrade my superpower. I genuinely love making food; it’s a form of enjoyment for me."

Yu An rested her chin on her hand. "Food is meant to be eaten, not to be a luxury item. I never considered creating a monopoly or using scarcity marketing."

"Take barbecue, for instance. The method is simple—you just grill it over a fire. The only complex part is the seasonings you sprinkle on it."

"When some Beastmen asked about it, Yu An didn’t hold anything back and shared the recipe openly. She even described what some of the raw seasonings looked like."

"Some Beastmen have already started copying her and grilling meat at home. Today, one of them even brought her some cumin."

"They said they found it while hunting. Yu An took the opportunity to teach them how to dry it and grind it into powder, and she also bought some to keep for planting."

"My goal is to let everyone eat delicious cooked food. As for making money..."

Yu An said with a grin, "That’s what I have you guys for, right? Lan Ying went to get some Gold Coins, didn’t he?"

’If I don’t achieve something big, what would be the point of my transmigration?’

’I don’t have any grand abilities. I can’t start a democratic revolution or anything like that. I’ll just do what I can.’

Feng Xuan was surprised. "You knew?"

"Mhm, that’s the direction of the Ping’an Gold Bank. You guys thought I wouldn’t know?"

Yu An crossed her arms. "Besides, the gold and silver I absorb doesn’t disappear. It can still be used normally. We can just deposit it back after a while."

Feng Xuan nodded. "That’s what I was thinking too. An’an, I also sent a message back to the clan. My kinsmen should be on their way."

"Then my superpower upgrade is all settled," Yu An said with a snap of her fingers. "After this, making food will be purely a personal hobby. Just thinking about it feels wonderful!"

A hobby is only fun when it’s purely a hobby. Once it becomes a job, it’s never the same again.

Yu An had felt tired before, but now she felt much more relaxed.

’My Beast Husbands’ money is my money. There’s absolutely no pressure in spending it!’

"So An’an’s goal is that moving," Mo Yan said, carrying out the noodles. "In that case, we can only support you."

He set down the things in his hands and said gently, "Do whatever you want to do. We’ll take care of the rest."

"We support our Female Mother too," Da Hu said, raising his little hand. "Female Mother, Xiao Yu, Xiao Hu, and I will massage you now, and when we grow up, we’ll make delicious food with you."

Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu expressed their agreement, and Ao Wu childishly joined them in pledging his support.

Yu An gave each of the three little ones a big kiss. "You truly are your Female Mother’s good babies!"

Seeing that he didn’t get a kiss, Ao Wu stared eagerly at Yu An. "An’an, did you forget about..."

"Let’s eat first," Mo Yan interrupted him smoothly. "I made a tomato and egg sauce, and also one with shepherd’s purse and minced meat. Serve yourself whichever one you want."

Ao Wu pouted, but remembering that tonight belonged to Mo Yan, he didn’t say anything more.

Lan Ying returned soon after. He was the last to eat and also washed the dishes. When he finished and went to give the Gold Coins to Yu An, he found she was gone.

Inside Mo Yan’s room, he couldn’t even wait to get to the bed. The moment the door closed, he eagerly pulled her into a tight embrace.

"An’an," he said, sounding aggrieved. "They’ve been monopolizing you. It’s been so long since we’ve had time alone..."

Yu An soothingly caressed his cheek. Just as she was about to say they had the whole night to themselves, something suddenly stirred inside the front of her clothes.
