After the Goddess of Wealth left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as the atmosphere was relatively relaxed since Grandmother Jia hadn't come.
Tan Chun looked at the ten treasure chests she had bought with borrowed money and felt overjoyed.
So what if she borrows a lot of money? As long as word gets out, plenty of high-ranking officials and nobles will beg her to transfer the money, even with huge sums of silver in hand.
She was wondering whether to gamble on finding a treasure or sell it as is.
"I wonder what's inside these treasure chests. I heard the God of Wealth's treasure chests have yielded many treasures."
The youngest, Xichun, asked curiously, explaining that she was short of money and hadn't bought any.
"Only Lin Daiyu has ever opened a treasure chest; none of us have ever had the chance to see this precious thing," Wang Xifeng said.
For some reason, she had offended Lin Daiyu, and she turned her face away, saying:
"What are you saying? Expensive things are bought with money. I'm not the only one who's used them. There are plenty of them all over the place. Let's open them and take a look."
Just as everyone was beginning to grasp the meaning of these words, Xue Baochai smiled and said:
"This batch is not as good as the previous treasure chests, but everyone knows that it was the Goddess of Wealth who was kind and gave us the opportunity to buy them with some gold and silver."
The Goddess of Wealth said that from now on, only those with a destined connection can buy treasure chests. The treasure chests that Lin Daiyu had seen were different from these.
We're all sisters, so let's not worry about anything else. Why don't we take this opportunity to open one together?
No one objected. Xue Baochai's words had a hidden meaning: it was good that the treasure chest was opened now, but if it was taken back, all sorts of "unnecessary troubles" would arise.
It's one thing for your family and elder brothers to force you to pay, but the rest of the people won't listen to reason.
As each treasure chest was opened, sounds of joy and sighs filled the air.
The most precious items are a famous "Tai Sui Evergreen Water" and Ling Xiao's most abundant elixir, "Sheng Zi Dan" (fertility pill). The others are scattered and not worth mentioning.
Li Wan, who had been silent throughout, took the fertility pill, considered it for a moment, and then handed it directly to Wang Xifeng, where they whispered to each other for a long time.
Seeing that everyone had gained something, Jia Zhen, who had been pretending to be dead while guarding the treasure chest, also felt a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, just maybe, I won't be so unlucky, and I might even make some money.
Although the God of Wealth is depicted as a woman, she is still a deity and wouldn't care so much about mortal ethics.
Jia Zhen found reasons to comfort himself, and he actually found psychological comfort.
They immediately crouched down and opened the treasure chests one by one, while the others watched coldly.
A pair of sky-high heels, a hotel-grade disposable toothbrush set, a Valentine's Day card, ten pairs of socks...
Every time Jia Zhen opened a treasure chest, he was subjected to a mental torment. In the end, he became almost numb, and his hands mechanically opened the chest lids.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver... God of Wealth, how cruel you are!
Wang Xifeng was the first to burst into unrestrained laughter, accompanied by her max-level skill, "Indirectly Scolding," while the others gloated.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and Jia Zhen, in disbelief, picked up the treasure chest and burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha, I knew it! Even in the worst casinos, the house will let you win a few times. The Goddess of Wealth wouldn't be that ruthless."
He glanced smugly at everyone and said mockingly:
"What's the use of saying so much to some people? Look, even the God of Wealth in heaven only punished me a little before letting me go."
This drew angry glares from the others; the young ladies and grandmothers were utterly disgusted with this patriarch of the Eastern Mansion.
To commit incest is not only disgusting, but also shameless to do it in front of others.
Soon, Jia Zhen couldn't wait to fish out the contents of the treasure chest. Hey, why is it sticky and wet? Jia Zhen was puzzled and reached out to take a look.
The bloody chunks of flesh, with dark fur still clinging to the skin, vaguely resembled an animal leg.
"What is this!" Jia Zhen roared in anger, shaking his hand in disgust.
At this moment, Lin Daiyu suddenly remembered something, burst out laughing, and whispered it quickly to the other girls, making them extremely happy.
Wang Xifeng pointed at Jia Zhen with glee and cursed:
"You lowly, lawless bastard! This is a blessing from the Goddess of Wealth! You're one of your accomplices, and also some damned servant of the Fairy Disenchantment. Chop me up and mince me into pieces."
It's a rare coincidence that we've met; I suppose I knew this rotten dog meat would end up in your dog's belly.
Jia Zhen's face turned red from the scolding, his teeth grinding together, but he dared not lay a hand on him.
With Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun around, his courage shrank inch by inch.
With a series of thuds, Jia Zhen kicked open the remaining treasure chests, and without exception, they were filled with severed limbs and broken bones, a scene of utter bloodshed.
System: Since we said we'd clear out the inventory, we must see it through to the end...
…………
Back in her personal space, the Goddess of Wealth deftly removed her various jewelry as she walked, the jingling of the jewelry echoing all the way. Finally, feeling completely relaxed, she collapsed onto the bed.
The system's lackey picked up the beauty hammer and diligently massaged his legs while reporting his mission.
He then asked, "Host, why don't we just speak directly to the Emperor and the Retired Emperor, instead of going through Lin Zhen?"
This is very puzzling, since the message conveyed is that of the "God of Wealth"—you spend money, but the goods don't belong to you.
"It's simple. If I go directly to them, I'll owe them a favor, and those two emperors are not to be trifled with."
Ling Xiao smiled knowingly:
"But if I hand the matter over to Lin Zhen, it's no longer my concern."
"What if Lin Zhen can't do it?"
I'm a little worried. That idiot temporary host is going to do such a difficult thing. Ugh, it's so worrying.
"You have to believe in the potential of a time traveler. Besides, what do you care how Lin Zhen does it? As long as you hold onto the hope that he can turn back into a human, you don't have to worry about him not doing his best!"
The system nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"But host, how do we turn him back into a human? We didn't turn him into a black dog," he suddenly lowered his voice:
"Should we get rid of Lin Zhen after he's done his business?"
Ling Xiao glanced at it in surprise, quite impressed; it had actually given her a new idea.
"Your method is not bad, but it would be too obvious and attract too much attention if we did it that way. Turning the dog into a human, on the other hand, still has a chance of success."
As she spoke, Ling Xiao sighed:
"Although the monks and Taoists have become my accomplices, there isn't enough time, and it's unlikely that I can immediately undo the spell in a short period of time."
The system chuckled dryly; it hadn't forgotten how many times its host had tried to devour it...
"So, we'll still have to rely on the products in the mall. Anyway, the little puppy will never leave this world," Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"The mall has many amazing products that can solve this problem."
"Oh, host, even though you chose the cheapest one, it must have cost you quite a bit of gold and silver."
The system asked, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's all about keeping a promise, this money should be spent," Ling Xiao said generously.
A casual, unconcerned question: "What kind of product is it?"
"A type of spring in Zhuquan Township. Well, after some artistic adaptation, the effect has changed, but it just happens to meet our requirements."
