"Godmother, why did you hit me?"
Liu Zhi rubbed his forehead while looking at Lin Xue with a pitiful expression.
"Yes, Auntie! If there's anything Liu Zhi has done wrong, just tell him, but you can't hit him!"
The other guards, who had also wanted to recognize Lin Xue as their godmother, immediately abandoned the idea.
The old lady was so fierce, they were so scared!
"Lower your head a little. You're so big, I can't even reach you to hit you!"
Lin Xue pursed her lips and gave instructions to Liu Zhi.
"Okay, godmother!"
"Being beaten by my godmother is a blessing in disguise!"
Although Lin Xue hit him, Liu Zhi knew in his heart that Lin Xue hadn't used any force at all.
Otherwise, given the strength of his godmother, his head would have been smashed to pieces long ago.
Where else can you find a spot without even a red mark?
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!"
Lin Xue, who had originally wanted to pinch Liu Zhi's ears, gave up on the idea.
“Look up at the top of the cave, what are those things?”
As Lin Xue spoke, everyone looked up. They saw that the cave ceiling was shimmering with colorful light under the lamps.
Wow, how can there be so many huge gems here?
The young guards exclaimed in amazement.
"Such a big gem, if I could pry one off and sell it, wouldn't I be able to rise above my humble origins and sing my own praises?"
Liu Ren's fingers unconsciously made a picking motion, and he looked at the gems on the cave ceiling, his mouth watering greedily.
"No wonder you wanted to hit me, godmother. It seems we really were a bit blind!"
Liu Zhi was now seriously doubting his own eyesight. How could he have missed finding so many gems in the cave?
"Godmother, you did a really good job! If it weren't for those slaps, we wouldn't have known we were all blind!"
The other guards suddenly realized that Liu Zhi had also been beaten quite badly.
Not only should Liu Zhi be beaten, but his brothers should also be given a good beating.
Having been by its owner's side since it was a child, it should have some sense of the value of things. How come it was so unaware of the treasure it was facing today?
The guards were deeply reflecting on their actions, while Lin Xue carefully examined the remaining items in the cave.
"We definitely have to take these gems with us. How can such ugly dwarfs deserve to possess such beautiful gems!"
Lin Xue reached out and touched a pink gemstone on the cave wall. She picked at it, she picked at it, and she picked at it again.
Without tools, you really can't pry this off.
"Godmother, look! Let us brothers pry these gems out of the ground!"
"Don't worry, once we pry these gems off, we'll hand them over to you for safekeeping. We definitely won't keep any for ourselves!"
Liu Ren, who had just given up on the idea of recognizing Lin Xue as his godmother, is now getting restless again.
Regardless of whether Lin Xue acknowledges it or not, he's determined to call her his godmother.
"Let's get started together. Who doesn't enjoy poking at gemstones? I'd love to try it myself, okay?"
Lin Xue pulled a small steel knife from her basket, which she had left in the corner, and rushed towards the pink gemstone she had her eye on.
"Since you call me godmother, then godmother will teach you a lesson today!"
Lin Xue didn't feel anything about being called "godmother" by these young guards.
It's just a name anyway, let them call it whatever they want.
Anyway, these young men are all grown up and can support themselves. She doesn't need to pay for their upbringing, so what's wrong with having a few more godsons?
Maybe during holidays, she won't even need to buy anything for the holidays; someone will just deliver it to her door. Wouldn't that be great?
Lin Xue had no idea that the thoughts she had now would one day actually come true.
At this moment, she was concentrating on picking at the pink gemstone.
"Godmother, we're listening to you!"
Liu Zhi felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard Liu Ren also call Lin Xue "godmother."
But then I thought about it, and realized that all of them had grown up wearing the same pair of open-crotch pants.
Now that he has recognized Lin Xue as his godmother, it's not wrong for his brothers to call her that too.
Before his buddies could even tell him, Liu Zhi had already won himself over.
It has to be said that these young guards are quite innocent at heart.
"Young men, these treasures in the cave are windfalls, ownerless possessions!"
"This is something we found with great difficulty, so we should all get a share!"
"So, even if you keep one or two items, it's not necessarily a bad thing!"
"Because this isn't your master's property, it belongs to whoever sees it. We don't need to feel so guilty!"
Lin Xue never considered herself a saint; she always prioritized her own possessions when it came to good things.
Even if some of these things have to be divided up, she will still take the lion's share.
After all, she had already stored her best treasures in her spatial storage, so she naturally wanted to leave some room for these little guards.
Lin Xue doesn't believe that anyone in this world doesn't love money, and that this has nothing to do with loyalty.
She also believed that Liu Muchen wouldn't say anything even if he found out. After all, if he dared to do something like "overeating himself while others starve," Lin Xue would have to consider whether she should continue to stay with them.
"Haha, godmother is right!"
"But godmother, don't worry. Our master never mistreats us. Even if we don't take it, he'll surely give us some!"
