With the speed of wind, Ji Fengyan finished absorbing all the treasures in the storage room within an afternoon. As a result, her inner core recovered yet a little.
As she observed the rate at which her inner core was recovering, Ji Fengyan felt a growing sense of anticipation. With the recovery of two of the cracks, the spiritual energy that had been drifting around was now stabilized.
Miss… what are you doing?
Ling He looked at Ji Fengyan, who had been in the storage room all afternoon. When he saw the traces of laughter on Ji Fengyan’s face, he suddenly felt apprehensive.
Perhaps Miss was… going crazy?
Ji Fengyan was in a good mood. She smilingly sat on a heap of treasure and beckoned at Ling He.
Brother Ling.
Yes?
Come, come, come.
Trembling, Ling He took a step forward.
Ji Fengyan seriously patted Ling He’s shoulder.
Brother Ling, do we have a lot of treasure in Ji City?
Treasure?
Ling He was dumbfounded.
Ji Fengyan pointed to the gold and silver ornaments that lay strewn across the floor.
Ling He recovered his wits.
Well… Miss, do you think there will be many of such things in Ji City?
As Ling He said this, his expression became extremely gloomy.
Ji Fengyan was taken aback. It was as if someone had suddenly poured cold water on her head.
What kind of place was Ji City?
It was just one of numerous small, poor cities in the kingdom. The people struggled to feed and clothe themselves adequately, how could they afford any luxurious items?
At that moment… Ji Fengyan became completely listless…
Just as I thought… there is no such good thing under heaven…
Ji Fengyan discovered that her newfound method of quickly recovering her inner core was rendered useless by the sheer remoteness of Ji City. She really could not smile anymore.
Ling He’s lips quivered as he looked at Ji Fengyan sadly drawing circles on the gold articles.
Miss usually did not pay much attention to such things. Where did today’s sudden idea come from? It was almost as if she was possessed.
Ling He could not comprehend what Ji Fengyan was thinking.
If I knew these things would be useful, I would not have abided by the laws against stealing…
Ji Fengyan was very gloomy. She had initially taken no notice of these treasures, which was why she had not even thought of plundering Lei Xu’s house after she had killed him. As a result, that scoundrel Lei Min had suddenly received enlightenment and fled after making a direct donation.
Now…
Ji Fengyan almost turned green with regret.
Brother Ling…
Ji Fengyan raised her eyes and looked at Ling He sorrowfully.
Under her gaze, Ling He started to shiver.
M… Miss… if you have anything to say, please go ahead…
Are there any craftsmen in Ji City?
Will miners do?
…
Ji Fengyan was completely speechless. Ji City produced rare ores, and this was very important to her. However, she had now discovered a more convenient way of recovering her inner core… although luxurious ornaments had more spiritual energy, their quantities…
At that moment, Ji Fengyan yearned for Gong Zhiyu. If only he could bring his merchant train home by tomorrow morning, she could take the jewelry from the maids.
How I wish I had a treasure trove…
Ji Fengyan collapsed on a heap of treasure, moaning weakly.
Ling He’s lips quivered. As he eyed the pile of glittering treasure that Ji Fengyan lay on, he felt strangely stifled…
The heap of treasure in his mistress’s storage room was probably more than Lei Xu had ever obtained in many years.
Ling He could not help muttering.
Speaking of treasure trove, Miss, if you had not believed the Ji Family in the first place and had taken back all the things His Majesty had given you, that would have been quite a lot too.
