Ruan Tang lowered her voice and gave the instructions in a serious tone.
"This time, you can take whatever you can get, but leave me with a whole shell. Don't touch any of the bricks, tiles, doors, or windows in this house."
A sly smile curved her lips, and excitement gleamed in her eyes.
"As for what's inside..."
Ruan Tang curled her lips into a mischievous smile.
"Take away everything that can be moved, that is valuable, and that has been hidden. Don't leave a single penny behind."
The treasure-hunting mouse's beady black eyes lit up instantly!
It squeaked excitedly twice, its tail wagging like a little windmill.
The next second, its tiny figure transformed into a white lightning bolt and "whoosh" darted through the window crack.
Ruan Tang sat down leisurely on the stone bench in the courtyard, even making herself a cup of hot tea, and waited patiently.
Inside the house, Xiaobai's movements were nothing short of professional sweeping.
It first tapped the floor tiles under the master bedroom bed with its paws and quickly found a hollow one.
With a flick of the claw, a hidden compartment was revealed, containing two rows of small, bright yellow croakers.
"receive!"
With a flick of its claws, the gold bars vanished instantly.
Then it darted to the dressing table, where the locked mahogany jewelry box was no different from a piece of paper in front of its sharp claws.
With a click, the lock opened.
The jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, gemstone rings... inside were dazzling and were swept away in the blink of an eye.
The room on the east side looks like a study.
Xiao Bai pulled out a small iron box wrapped in oilcloth from one of the legs of the desk. Inside was a thick wad of cash and various receipts.
Behind a landscape painting on the wall, a hidden compartment was found, containing several bankbooks and property deeds.
It didn't even spare the kitchen; the rice, flour, and cooking oil in the cupboards, the cured meat and salted fish hanging from the beam, and even the brand-new iron pot were all neatly put into storage bags.
The entire process was smooth and silent.
Before an incense stick could burn, Little White emerged from the house, its round belly bulging with satisfaction, dragging behind it a bulging sack filled with bedding and clothes.
It neatly stacked the thirty fully-filled storage bags at Ruan Tang's feet, raising its little head as if to claim credit.
Ruan Tang patted its head with satisfaction and scanned the room with her divine sense.
very good.
The three rooms were now completely bare, so empty that a horse could run through them.
Apart from the bulky bed and a few pieces of large furniture that couldn't be moved, there wasn't even a needle to be found.
The couple in bed were still sleeping soundly.
"Well done."
Ruan Tang put away all the storage bags and stuffed the treasure-hunting rat into her pocket.
She waited in the courtyard for a while until the incense in the house dissipated before going inside.
The incense used this time was not one of the precious items in the space, but just the most common calming incense in the cultivation world.
It has no effect on spirit beasts, but if an ordinary person inhales even a little bit, they will have to sleep for a whole day before waking up.
Ruan Tang pushed open the door and entered.
By the dim moonlight filtering through the window, she immediately saw two pale, naked bodies intertwined without any defenses on the large bed in the master bedroom.
Ruan Tang closed her eyes and pulled Xiao Bai, who was still savoring the sense of accomplishment from her "work," out of her pocket. Xiao Bai felt fluffy to the touch.
"Go, bring out one of the blankets you just took away and cover them with it."
This is too much to bear.
The treasure-hunting mouse blinked its beady eyes, not understanding why its master had changed his mind.
But it still worked tirelessly to take the last blankets that had been taken from the two people from the sack on the ground, and dragged them to the bedside, covering them up tightly with them.
