Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System
Chapter 1208 - 1206: Money-Grubber

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Sally hadn't heard anything from the Su couple.

She hadn't even seen Gu Zhen Ting, and the Third Princess was only seen once when deciding the engagement.

At other times, it was just her and Gu Cheng on the island with a group of servants, keeping their distance from each other.

Sally would go out every day to complete the "daily act of valor" task to earn reputation points.

However, she was still a long way from "seventeen billion"!

After running twenty kilometers around the island track, Sally arrived at the lakeside.

Looking at her reflection, her ponytail flying, lips red and teeth white, peachy cheeks, the top-class beauty of health and youth was something no makeup could emulate.

"You sure are good-looking!"

"Tch~ Narcissist!"

Sally turned her head and saw Gu Cheng's completely expressionless face, the more she looked, the less interesting it got.

"Tomorrow, when you go to school, don't say you're my fiancé; you're not worthy of me!" After speaking, Sally continued running.

Gu Cheng was furious: "Are you crazy or something?"

Sally turned back, running backward effortlessly, pointing at her own face, "As long as you're not blind, anyone can see who's crazy between us!"

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Sally went into her own study.

Yes, on this island, she had already clearly divided territories, establishing her own realm. If Gu Cheng wanted to step in, he had to get her approval first.

As for her actions, the Third Princess sent someone to convey her approval!

And within Sally's territory, there was the largest study on the entire Mingzhu Island, along with a gym and an indoor swimming pool.

Gu Cheng wasn't too interested in the swimming pool; he preferred the outdoor one, though it was annoying that no matter how much sun he got, he wouldn't tan.

There was also a backup gym.

But he really needed the study!

Because it contained many rare collections, things that couldn't be found anywhere else.

During lunch, Gu Cheng forcefully chewed on the tender, springy steak and said to Sally, "I need to get into the study this afternoon to check some materials."

"Eat that plate of vegetables and I can consider it." Sally looked at the untouched vegetable plate in front of Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng frowned in resistance, "What's reading got to do with eating vegetables?"

"Seeing you do something you dislike can please me!" Sally grinned, exposing a flashy set of healthy teeth, making Gu Cheng want to smash them!

Helplessly, he could only eat the vegetables for the sake of the books.

After eating in a few bites and washing down the taste with soup, Gu Cheng said, "The password!"

Now the study door was protected by a vault-level security lock, without her password, he couldn't get in, which was why he had to compromise.

"Listen, I'll only say it once! Today's password is..." Actually, she didn't know it either; she had Xiaomei help set a twenty-eight-digit dynamic password for the lock, and she had to ask Xiaomei before she could enter the study herself.

[What's today's password?]

[19436@1047%564&7699712#76*18]

After Sally recited the twenty-eight-digit password, she saw Gu Cheng's face turn greener than the vegetables he had just eaten.

"It's just a few shabby books; if I can't read them, so be it!" Gu Cheng slammed down his napkin and left the table.

Sally said to the housekeeper Saisai Xiya: "Thanks, I'd like one more piece- no, two more steaks!"

"Alright, Miss Su!" Saisai Xiya said with a full smile.

After enjoying the delicious lunch, Sally worked out for a while and then took a nap in her room.

Before sleeping, she wrote down the study password and had the housekeeper give it to Gu Cheng, valid only for today.

After midnight, the password would change, and the security lock would automatically update the password. If he was still inside, he'd be locked in, unable to get out.

After being locked in twice, Gu Cheng became obedient and no longer stayed in the study past midnight.

Because Sally went to bed at nine o'clock sharp, unless it was an epic level disaster, she refused to be disturbed!

At the entrance of the study, there were two majestic lion statues carved from white jade on either side.

Behind the five-meter-high vermillion giant door was a grand hall of books.

It housed 5,627,689 collectible items, including some stamps, blueprints, newspapers, manuscripts, etc., in 286 languages.

Each year, the Third Princess would have people search for more books to add to the collection at great expense.

Originally, this study didn't have a security lock.

But after Sally saw what was here, although she wasn't particularly interested in collections, there was no doubt they were priceless treasures. Considering that after she and Gu Cheng were married, they'd all be hers, she would protect them well.

After getting permission from the Third Princess, she immediately strengthened the management of the study.

All doors and windows were replaced with the highest level of bulletproof and explosion-proof glass, especially the fire prevention equipment, which she would check randomly. And nothing from here was allowed to be taken out. Even if it were just a newspaper, not even the Third Princess could take it away.

Unless she gave special permission, you could only read in the study, and once you stepped out of the door, it would trigger an alarm!

Gu Cheng's companion Aisente looked at the time on his Light Computer wristwatch — 23:49, a worried expression on his face.

"Young Master, the update time for Miss Su's password is almost here, let's leave first. Otherwise, if you're locked in here, you'll have to agree to her unreasonable demands to get out again."

"..." Gu Cheng reluctantly closed his book, "Let's go."

Once outside, the study's security lock displayed — password updated, please unlock with the latest password.

"It's just a few books, acting like there's some unspeakable secret inside." Gu Cheng slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and went back to his room to rest.

Aisente awkwardly chuckled, "Well... it seems the Princess had this study given to Miss Su as an engagement gift, so everything inside now belongs to Miss Su. The catalog is so extensive, it could take some time to finish the paperwork."

"What?" Gu Cheng's eyes widened, "How come I didn't know this."

"I heard it from my grandmother yesterday," Saisai Xiya is Aisente's grandmother.

"Isn't it possible that one day all of Mingzhu Island will be given to her too? Who's the guest here anyway?" Gu Cheng said, turning a bright red.

Aisente lowered his head without saying a word, since it really was a possibility.

"Young Master, it's time to rest. Tomorrow morning, you don't want to get up later than Miss Su, do you?" Saisai Xiya came over with a smile.

"Of course not!" Gu Cheng raised his chin slightly, with a dignified and proud expression.

Aisente bowed to Saisai Xiya and followed Gu Cheng.

"Aisente, remember to wake me up early."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Tomorrow, I must be up before her..."

Saisai Xiya checked around the study, ensuring everything was in order before leaving.

...

Early in the morning.

Sally first did a lap around the island track and met Gu Cheng.

"Up pretty early today."

"I'm always up earlier than you, just not outside. The housekeeper said there's only one car on the island today, so we have to share it to go to school."

"No problem."

"I'm a day student; I don't live at the school."

"Then I'll also be a day student."

"Why are you following me? Let me tell you, I have someone I like, and being engaged won't change our relationship."

"She doesn't mind you being engaged?"

"She doesn't mind."

"I don't mind either; it's perfect for the three of us to partner up for life. She takes care of the bedroom, and I take care of the household."

"You're... you're crazy!" Gu Cheng glared, his eyes twitching.

"The truth is, does someone without a problem get engaged to you?"
