The arrogant foxy couldn't help but shed off his cloak of haughtiness, feeling fear for the very first time after coming to this world.
Just by remembering how dubiously demented this figure was, he couldn't help but want to run off!
Runaway as far as he could, the farthest the better!
He didn't in the least want to suffer once again in the hands of this monster of a woman!
It was probably his karma turning onto him for as unfortunate as he was, it doubled with him lacking money at the very moment...
.....
" Hey, Dude how wealthy are you?", a seductive-looking female oozing the vibe which was very like that of a street ruffian whispered into the ears of the male she was protecting.
" I-I do-don't know...", even before the male could tell more the female interrupted the latter giggling contentedly.
" Ah... hold on, I can understand. You've got a lot more wealth than you know, right? Fine, fine! I won't ask for an advance. You can just pay me altogether. But that would be more money for me, hehe!"
Jun Jie stood there guiltily, peering up at the female beauty helplessly. He certainly didn't want to lie to her but at the same time couldn't gather up his courage to let her be aware of the disappointing truth that he was broke at the moment, lacking a single penny in his pocket!
" Hey, there punk! How dare you mess with the Big Boss? Come here! Let me talk some sense into you. Don't you have any shame playing delinquent in this time and place? ", the female overload reprimanded the opponent in an overbearing manner, clearly forgetting the role she was playing!
"... Eh, Boss where are we by the way?", the overload skidded backward towards Jun Jie, whispering the last question in a hushed tone.
"..."
"Ah forget about the place, just praise me alright and do add in some bonus for my awesome acting skills plus do cooperate as well... okay?", the female whispered, spoke the deal without a pause.
"..."
The arrogant foxy felt like puking blood upon seeing such a scene. Feeling dejected, he finally spoke up after gathering courage which was equal to the cogency gathered to fight dragons!
"Eh...I-I have money too...", he managed to speak out the words which came out like that of a mosquito buzz, trembling all the while.
" Ah? Do you have money? But...you don't look like you have wealth of your own. Your appearance and mannerisms are no better than a sissy. Furthermore, hehe, I bet you've got a sugar mommy yourself paying for your expenses!", the female sniggered not believing the sissy man.
" I am not a SISSY! Heavens could bear the proof of me being a man, a straight, strong, and full-fledged man. I do have money of my own! ", the foxy replied with determination to guarantee his masculinity.
"Oh, so you do have money! Great! That's great!", the female gawked at the Sissy, with sparkling eyes dripping with excitement on the news of gaining more money. Her eyes had already formed into the symbols of currency.
o($̲̅∆$̲̅)o
"..."
Heavens forbid, he was least expecting such progress!
The money-hungry look on the female's face was making him go weak in the legs!
His persistent effort to stay clear of her trap was gone in vain. He now knew the feeling of shooting oneself in the foot!
The female was super excited given the opportunity. But the most important dilemma of being whom to support led the female to feel driven to the corner! She had already planned up with the other and now this sissy-looking supposed opponent too has money!
Now, who should she stick up for?
Aish! This is way too tricky but at the same time needs to be handled well so that both of their money ends up in her pockets!
'Oh, how I wish I knew the language of money!'
How she wanted money to speak!
If the case is so then she could hatch up some insider plan and gain their wealth easily!

"Ah, Mistress? Did you summon me?", a shrill yet raspy voice spoke up. Every word it spoke had the tone of clinking metals against one another, leaving behind a short sharp metallic jingling sound of a dozen or so coins being dropped altogether after it stopped with its inquiry.
" Uh...who's that? Who did I summon?", the female questioned out loud?
"Eh...Mistress, it's me Money! Don't you remember me?", the raspy voice spoke out in a surprised tone. It knew its Mistress had been missing for a while but it didn't so expect to have found its Mistress had even left her memory behind as well!
" What Money? That's a fine name but foolish enough to call for! People might loot you in case they hear your name! Change it! It's not a good one.", the female criticized the fellow upon hearing the name, shaking her pale finger in a 'NO' gesture.
"..."
"Uh, But Mistress, it was you who gave me the name when contracting me because you said you loved money and the name suits me the best. I have been carrying on with this name for a millennium already! You didn't find it displeasing then?", the fellow countered back with its honest reply like that of a diligent student.
"..."
The female was speechless, knowing not how to counter the answer.
But being shameless as she was she just couldn't let herself get accused so easily.
"Ah...is that so. Uh so...I liked it then and it's been a millennium already. Change is needed once in a while so no need to carry it on any longer. Let's get you a new name, shall we?", the woman spoke airily.
"Whatever Mistress says, goes. This vassal will follow anything Mistress proposes."
'This fellow seems like an obedient servant with good mannerisms. Great luck, I need to make full use of this inviting opportunity!'
"Eh, such a fine...uh what are you by the way?", the female confusedly inquired.
"...", Mio'er who seemed to know was stunned speechless. He nearly lost hold of his hold on the citadel!
" I'm a Money spirit, Mistress. The King of all wealth and riches, is here at your service Mistress", The Money King introduced himself thinking that an honest introduction was necessary according to the situation, or Mistress might misunderstand it for being unfilial and would feel sad when she regains back her memories. It didn't want its beautiful and gentle Mistress to feel upset.
If Mio'er or the arrogant foxy had ever heard of what the money king was thinking, they would have fallen victim to bleeding tumors or the foxy might have had his hemophilia resurfaced, from spitting out too much blood.
This female's way of feeling sorrowful was equal to destroying the heavens, but the Money King didn't see much difference in those turmoils occurring due to its Mistress's sadness. It could be regarded as the most loyal among the female demoness's subordinates, for the fellow would obey with anything as long as its Mistress commanded!
" Ah, You are the king of money! Great! Great! How could I forget ever contracting you or your companionship? Foolish me...", the female spoke up in a disorderly manner seeming to have thought of something familiar yet unable to figure it out. The evident crease along with her beautifully arched brows and her disconcerted expression said it all.
" Uh, Mistress?", the loyal subordinate skillfully probed at its Mistress to get her attention back.
"Yes. Oh? Ah so anyway. I-I should give you a name, isn't it? How about Shengyu?", the female affirmed in an overbearing manner fully becoming one with the role of that of a bossy overlord!
Everyone except the Money King, "..."
The arrogant foxy, "..."
Is there any difference?
