Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Xu Jinhuan found the location of the Dragon Mansion's warehouse in no time.
At this moment, the two guards standing at the door were yawning listlessly.
"This rainstorm was truly terrifying; it's said to be a once-in-a-century event. Thankfully, it's stopping now, otherwise the capital would have been completely flooded."
"Yes, even half of the capital was flooded. I don't even want to think about how bad it must be in other places. It's a year of disaster. The lives of ordinary people are going to be very difficult."
Both of them felt a pang of sympathy after they finished speaking, and both sighed at the same time.
Using his invisibility ability, Xu Jinhuan walked into the storeroom in front of the two guards who were still chatting.
The Dragon Mansion's warehouse did not disappoint Xu Jinhuan. Although it was not as large as the Crown Prince's, it still contained quite a few good items.
All sorts of rare medicinal herbs, wild furs, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade can be found in this warehouse, and they are placed in different areas according to their categories.
"This Jinlong Grain Shop seems to be quite profitable," Xu Jinhuan said with great emotion, looking at the dazzling array of goods in the warehouse.
However, now all of these belong to Xu Jinhuan, thanks to Manager Long for his generous support!
Xu Jinhuan first went to the area where the medicinal herbs were stored. Although he had previously acquired a lot of medicinal herbs from the Imperial Hospital in the palace, some of them were too precious and unnecessary for minor illnesses.
Although the medicinal herbs in the Dragon Mansion are of good quality, they still can't compare to those in the Imperial Palace. They're just right for minor ailments.
Xu Jinhuan happily emptied the storeroom of medicinal herbs and then went to the antiques and calligraphy next to it.
Having seen so many of the royal collections, Long Wangcai's items pale in comparison; nothing here can compare in terms of age or rarity.
However, Xu Jinhuan didn't mind; these could be placed directly in the house as decorations later.
As Xu Jinhuan pondered this, he rapidly collected the items using his spatial storage.
After packing up Long Wangcai's collection of antiques and calligraphy, Xu Jinhuan looked at the gold and silver jewelry not far away.
After emptying so many warehouses, Xu Jinhuan discovered a pattern: those who are greedy tend to prefer heavy silver ingots to banknotes.
Therefore, the warehouse mainly stored silver ingots.
Long Wangcai was no exception; although he didn't have as many boxes of silver ingots as the prince and his group, he still had several large boxes.
Xu Jinhuan accepted all the offers and sent them all to his space.
After collecting all of these, Xu Jinhuan also stored all the furs, fabrics, jewelry, jade, and other items in the warehouse into her spatial storage.
Looking at the warehouse, now empty again, Xu Jinhuan smiled contentedly.
Next, let's go to the Long family's granary and see how Long Wangcai manages to sell grain at a high price after running out of food.
As Xu Jinhuan thought this, he disappeared from the warehouse.
She flew swiftly over the rooftops of the Long Mansion, searching for the location of the granary. Suddenly, Xu Jinhuan stopped.
"This horse is quite good. Although it's not very old, it looks plump and strong. It must run very fast. We'll take it with us when we leave!"
After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he looked at the Akhal-Teke horse in the stable with satisfaction.
The Akhal-Teke horse, which was not yet fully grown, initially ignored the sound in its ear and continued to eat its food at a leisurely pace, as if afraid that someone would take it away from it.
It wasn't until it felt someone touch its body that it immediately perked up its ears, looked left and right, kept blowing air from its nose, and stared at every blade of grass and tree around it with its huge eyes.
Unfortunately, it didn't see anything in the end.
Looking at the Akhal-Teke horse's silly and cute appearance, Xu Jinhuan gently stroked its head and said with a smile, "From now on, you are my horse."
The Akhal-Teke horse felt someone touching it again, but it still couldn't see anyone around, which frightened it so much that its mane stood on end.
It stretched its mouth as if to howl, but the next second someone closed its mouth with their hand.
"Forehead……"
The neighing of the Akhal-Teke horse was abruptly cut off.
After confirming that no one was around, Xu Jinhuan immediately deactivated his invisibility ability and revealed himself in front of the Akhal-Teke horse.
Upon seeing the person in front of it, the Akhal-Teke horse seemed to be enraged and instinctively raised its leg, wanting to kick the person down as it had done before.
Unfortunately, Xu Jinhuan didn't give it that chance at all. She easily pinned down the horse's legs and then released a hint of killing intent.
"If you behave well, I'll take you away alive in a little while. If you don't behave at all, then I'll take your corpse away."
I've never eaten the meat of an Akhal-Teke horse in my life, and I don't know if it tastes good.
As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he smiled and patted the head of the Akhal-Teke horse.
The Akhal-Teke horse was smarter than ordinary horses, and it actually understood the meaning behind Xu Jinhuan's words.
Upon sensing the murderous aura emanating from Xu Jinhuan, the Akhal-Teke horse, which was respectfully kept in the stable by Long Wangcai, immediately bent its legs and knelt before her.
"Good boy/girl, your master will come to pick you up in a little while. Don't bark in the meantime, or your master will get angry."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and stroked the horse's head, speaking gently.
The Akhal-Teke horse snorted, indicating that it understood.
Its obedient and well-behaved appearance made Xu Jinhuan pat the horse's head again. Having a pet really does make people happy!
Xu Jinhuan disappeared again, leaving the stable with a smile on his face.
She didn't notice at all that the Akhal-Teke horse behind her had its large eyes filled with shock when it saw her disappear in an instant.
No, have all the humans in the Central Plains become this powerful?
Xu Jinhuan used his lightness skill to fly over several rooftops, and finally found the Long Mansion's granary in a somewhat secluded corner.
"Why would he hide a granary so secretively?" A question flashed through Xu Jinhuan's mind.
Moreover, the guards at this granary look much stronger than those at the warehouse. These guards are clearly skilled in martial arts.
Xu Jinhuan has always been a straightforward person. Since she had some doubts, she quickly went in to find out.
Upon entering the granary, Xu Jinhuan didn't see much grain, only a few sacks of coarse grain scattered in a corner.
What's going on? The grain sellers are out of grain.
Xu Jinhuan walked around the granary suspiciously, and she did indeed notice something unusual.
She gently tapped the ground to confirm that it was hollow, then turned her gaze to a somewhat unusual candlestick on the wall.
"Click, click"
Xu Jinhuan rotated the candlestick, and an opening actually appeared in the ground, with steps underneath.
It seems that Long Wangcai does indeed have a secret, and Xu Jinhuan's favorite thing is to learn about all kinds of secrets.
