Many descendants

Su Yan's consciousness was taking stock of supplies in the space when she suddenly felt her body suspended in mid-air, followed by her head being turned upside down, as if she were being carried.

The system map is unusable now, and we have no idea what happened.

Ah! That brat Xiaomei really knows how to pick her time. She never updates earlier or later, but she updates right when it's most needed.

After about half an hour, Su Yan was so dizzy that the person carrying her finally put her down.

Su Yan did not act rashly. Her talent was just a small fireball, and her physical strength was also lacking. Her biggest reliance was the system.

Now that the system is on strike, she has no choice but to find a way to protect herself.

Oh dear, I was so careless.

I'm used to a leisurely life in the West End.

The primitive life of grasslands, mountains, forests, and wild animals everywhere dulled her sense of crisis.

A rhythmic knocking sound rang out.

Judging from the sound, Su Yan felt that the door was of good quality and had a metallic feel.

The door opened, and a rough, hoarse old woman's voice rang out, "What, you've come to return the money?"

"How about settling the debt with goods?" The young, clear male voice was full of flattery.

The woman's tone softened slightly, "What kind of goods?"

The sack was untied.

Su Yan kept her eyes open and remained motionless, but her entire body, including every strand of her hair, was on alert, trying to figure out how to escape.

The first thing you see is an obese old woman with a face full of pimples. She is holding a leather whip in her hand, and the whip is still stained with bright red blood.

Beside him stood a young man with foxy eyes and a sharp, pointed face that made him appear cunning and deceitful.

The old woman looked Su Yan's face up and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "So beautiful!"

The foxy man put away the sack, shrinking it back to the size of a palm, and hung it on his waist. "How about this female? Can she settle my debts?"

Su Yan had been standing there like a log, completely stiff.

Hearing the foxy man's words, she scoffed, "Why should I? I was just sitting on the grass resting, and you kidnapped me to pay off your debts?"

The two, who had initially thought she was mentally challenged, were suddenly startled.

"Are you not an idiot?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"You're the ones who've lost your minds, you're the fools!" Su Yan retorted, then turned and left.

The old woman raised the whip in her hand and lashed it at the foxy man. "You good-for-nothing, you dare to play tricks on me? I'll beat you to death today."

Su Yan glanced back at the foxy man who was running away with his head in his hands, and quickened her pace.

Bai Kaixin then ran towards her.

Afraid that he would come to grab her again, Su Yan saw a restaurant by the roadside, turned around and went inside. She called out to the waiter who was wiping the tables, "I want to eat!"

If you directly say you're saving someone, the guy might think twice, but if you mention food, then he's a customer. With a customer, once there's a business relationship, things become much easier.

The waiter immediately put away the rag and replied, "Alright~ Please take a seat, sir!"

Bai Kaixin followed him in.

The waiter's face darkened instantly when he saw him. "Bai Kaixin, when are you going to pay the bill you owe my family?"

"I'll give it to you later." Bai Kaixin immediately ran off again.

Su Yan looked at Bai Kaixin, who was slinking away like a rat in the street. Everyone who saw him was asking for money.

No wonder he kidnapped people.

She had also been in debt before, to an organized high-interest loan shark, because she was scammed by a friend from her university dorm.

Those debt collectors came to her door demanding money, not only robbing her mother of all her savings, but also beating her, causing her to be hospitalized.

She was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Being at the very bottom of society, she was powerless to resist.

She knew that man could never give her the peace and stability she wanted, and he was definitely not a good partner. But she simply couldn't tolerate her mother being beaten.

He was the only one who could help her, the only one with the ability to help her.

That day, in the pouring rain, she stood in front of his car. The car door opened from the inside, and the pleasant scent of expensive cigarettes and his unique aroma became a memory etched into her very being...

"Hey buddy, how much does Bai Kaixin owe you guys?"

"Not much, two hundred red coins."

"Go and call him back for me, and tell him I'm treating him to dinner." Su Yan took a few red coins from her spatial storage and placed them on the table.

"Thank you, sir. Please have some tea first. I'll be right there." The waiter put away the red coins, brewed a pot of hot tea for Su Yan, and then went out to call for someone with a cheerful smile.

Su Yan looked around the restaurant. There were signs and menus hanging on the walls. Because the system had given her the language of the Beast World Continent, there were more than a hundred languages, so she could read the words on them.

The decor here is completely different from that in the West District.

Over there, people lived in caves and mud houses, and wore animal skin clothes. Here, however, there were solid wood floors, carved roofs, latticed windows inlaid with enamel and glass, and strings of wind chimes that made pleasant sounds when gently blown. The clothes were also made of fine cotton, linen, and silk, with embroidery and beaded decorations.

It's as if we've suddenly jumped from the primitive era into the near-ancient civilization, leaping through countless historical processes.

Sipping the fermented red tea, although it was astringent, it finally had a fragrant flavor. "Hmm, the East District is really good."

Soon, Bai Kaixin followed the waiter into the restaurant.

Su Yan pointed to the signboard on the wall and ordered four dishes and a soup, choosing the most expensive ones.

The waiter became even more enthusiastic, his face beaming with smiles.

But when he turned to look at Bai Kaixin, his face immediately darkened, and he warned, "Speak properly to the customer, and I won't rush you today."

"Yes, yes, Third Brother, you're busy." Bai Kaixin replied humbly.

Su Yan poured him a cup of hot tea. "Please sit down."

Bai Kaixin smelled the aroma of tea, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down. "I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I promise I will never do such a thing again."

"I can tell you're probably driven to desperation by your debts; you're willing to do anything."

Bai Kaixin gave a bitter smile, full of sorrow. "Originally, I was a peddler in this Liuhua Town, going from street to street. People would ask me for needles and thread. The business wasn't big, but it was enough to support my family. Later, my mother got sick, and we spent all the money in the house. I was heavily in debt, and in the end, I couldn't keep her."

"..." Whether these words were true or false, they hit Su Yan's weak spot. Her biggest worry right now was her mother.

"How much money do you owe?" Su Yan pushed the tea towards him.

Bai Kaixin stared at him in astonishment, "Including principal and interest, it will cost approximately 300,000 Chi coins."

"Is buying your life enough?" Su Yan asked casually.

Bai Kaixin was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Just asking." Su Yan took out a handful of crystal coins from her spatial storage.

In the Western Continent, the ratio of Crimson Coins to Crystal Coins is 10000:1. She doesn't know much about the Eastern Continent yet, but Crystal Coins are definitely more expensive than Crimson Coins.

Sure enough, Bai Kaixin's foxy eyes widened immediately!

"Who are you? How do you have so much money?!" Bai Kaixin rubbed his eyes. Yes, it was indeed crystal coins.

"..."

How did she explain it? She said it was her own burial item...
