Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 721: Beggar Turned Billionaire1

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Beggar Turned Billionaire_1

At the sound of footsteps, Qin Sisi imdiately sat upright, carefully listening to the direction of the incoming footfalls, her body stiff with tension.

Ye You also quickly awoke. After a brief hesitation, he said a few words quietly to Qin Sisi and then took out the temperature-regulating black coat he’d given her earlier from his portable space.

Qin Sisi took the coat, and vigorously rubbed it onto the dirt floor, causing it to get covered with dust and appear dirty.

She quickly put on the dust-laden black coat, fastened the buttons - the coat was sowhat too large for her, given that it was borrowed from Ye You.

After Qin Sisi finished, Ye You crawled inside her coat and emitted a tiny silver sphere around himself, causing her stomach area to bulge out.

Just as they finished, there was a loud "bang" sounding like a violent kick on a door. The dilapidated wooden door couldn’t withstand the forceful kick and fell down instantly, causing a sharp noise and scattering dust in all directions.

Several royal palace guards strode in through the flying dust. Qin Sisi recognized their uniforms, they were the sa as the ones who tried to execute her and Ye You in the palace.

She moved back, her face showing a mix of fear and panic as she looked at the tall and brawny guards. Her expression wasn’t all pretense, her heart was already racing.

The guards saw Qin Sisi bundled up in the corner, covered with dust, looking dirty and disheveled, and her protruding abdon. Their faces expressed contempt and amusent. But Qin Sisi sighed with relief; they didn’t seem to harbor any murderous intent.

Apart from the dirt bed and a three-legged table, there was nothing else in the abandoned shed, so there was no need to search. However, one of the guards still asked as a formality: "Hey, have you seen a black cat?"

Qin Sisi shook her head fervently in panic, looking utterly frightened.

The guards seed to have expected Qin Sisi’s reaction. Without saying anything further, they left with their gleaming weapons.

Qin Sisi waited until the footsteps completely disappeared before she finally relaxed.

Ye You peeked out from Qin Sisi’s coat and looked at the fallen door, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He didn’t bother about ordinary guards, but taking action here might attract the attention of a large force. For the sake of the overall plan, he had to be patient.

After anxiously hiding in the small shed for another two hours, Qin Sisi slowly walked out of the abandoned shed. She was supporting her waist, the bulge in her belly making her look a bit clumsy.

Now, looking from the outside, Qin Sisi appeared to be a destitute, holess, precarious.....pregnant woman.

She and Ye You had carefully planned this. Tian Xiaozi was held back by Ya Ning, so he didn’t see them co out of the ti tunnel. Therefore, he knew only Ye You had returned, and didn’t know about Qin Sisi’s existence.

As long as they hide Ye You properly, they should be able to leave the city safely.

The guards just now had treated Qin Sisi as a pregnant woman. Although they had asked her formally, they didn’t have any suspicions in their hearts.

Hiding Ye You inside her clothes and pretending to be pregnant was the best thod they could think of, as items needed to be checked. But rarely would anyone think of checking a pregnant woman’s belly.

Ye You gave Qin Sisi a spirit stone and told her to go buy so food, plenty of it, so they could store it in their portable space.

So, under Ye You’s guidance, Qin Sisi arrived at the main street leading to the outskirts of the city.

Indeed, Wang City was bustling. Once day broke, pedestrians began to line the streets, and shops on both sides opened for business.

Though Qin Sisi’s strange attire and protruding belly attracted many curious glances, people just looked and passed by.

For most people, there were various inexplicable things in the world; there was no need to delve into them, just watching was enough.

After walking for a while, Qin Sisi stopped at a food stall at the entrance of an alley. The stall sold food that looked like pancakes, but round and yellow, like the color of corn flour, and slled delicious.

In any world, vendors are usually enthusiastic towards custors. The stall owner glanced at Qin Sisi, his face exhibiting surprise, but his smile didn’t falter. He cheerfully asked: "Mrs., would you like to buy Golden Corn Biscuits?"

"Golden Corn Biscuits?" Qin Sisi curiously repeated.

The stall owner nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, I use only the finest corn, they’re delicious."

Qin Sisi thought for a mont before asking: "How much?"

The stall owner replied: "One spirit stone each."

Qin Sisi was stunned, Ye You seed to have given her only one spirit stone, could she buy only one Golden Corn Biscuit?

She sighed inwardly. If it’s just one, then it’s just one. They could share it; sharing things wasn’t a big deal for them.

Qin Sisi put the spirit stone in her palm and showed it to the stall owner, asking: "Can I only buy one with this spirit stone?"

Sa words, different interpretations. Qin Sisi just wanted to confirm, but to the stall owner, it sounded like she was questioning him.

He looked a bit awkward, said appeasingly: "Mrs., I was quoting for a low-grade spirit stone, you have a middle-grade spirit stone, which can buy a hundred Golden Corn Biscuits."

Qin Sisi blinked her eyes, it took her a mont to realize not all spirit stones were the sa, the one Ye You had given her was more valuable.

Recalling Ye You’s words to buy more food for storage, Qin Sisi originally wanted to buy a hundred Golden Corn Biscuits. But thinking they might need money on the road, she said to the stall owner: "Boss, I’ll take fifty Golden Corn Biscuits."

The stall owner’s expression beca even more awkward: "Mrs., I’ve just opened for the day and only stead a pot’s worth of Golden Corn Biscuits, and one pot only has fifty pieces."

"Oh," Qin Sisi nodded in understanding, "Then I’ll take fifty!"

The stall owner seed both amused and frustrated, "Mrs., I don’t have enough change for your spirit stone, why don’t you go to the bank across the street to get so change?"

Qin Sisi raised her brows, why was buying biscuits so troubleso?

Seeing the stall owner’s troubled expression, she sighed helplessly: "Alright then."

Qin Sisi walked towards the bank opposite the biscuit stall. The biscuit stall owner watched her go and muttered under his breath: "She seed like a beggar, but spent money like a tycoon trying to taste life."

She walked unhurriedly into the bank, nad Juxin Bank, supporting her waist.
