Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

the next day.

The backyard of Pangu Temple.

Lin Ze and Lin Xi are up to something.

To be precise, they are running a bank.

wrong.

They are ripping people off.

Lin Ze—son of the Holy Mother of Wudang, acting leader of the Jie Sect, and the Heavenly Strategist.

He always clutched that jade slip used for bookkeeping in his hand.

His eyes darted around like abacus beads.

Lin Xi – daughter of Su Daji, the God of Wealth among the Gods of Wealth, born with a divine body of wealth.

He always clutches a winged coin in his hand.

These two together make for a perfect financial fraud ring.

Their goal today is—

Fifth Uncle.

Zhu Rong.

Here's the thing.

Zhu Rong had a stash of money hidden away.

not much.

Three hundred top-grade spirit stones.

It was money he had secretly saved up over the past century.

It was hidden in a crack in the rocks under an old locust tree in the backyard.

I didn't tell anyone.

He thought he had hidden it perfectly.

But he underestimated Lin Ze's talent.

The passive skill of the Heavenly Strategist is "Heavenly Eye Account Check".

All valuable resources within a hundred miles were shining like fireflies in Lin Ze's perception.

Zhu Rong's three hundred spirit stones—shining like small suns.

"Sis. Found it."

Lin Ze pushed his accounting jade slip and gestured towards Lin Xi with his lips.

"where?"

"Under the old locust tree in the backyard. The third layer of stones."

Lin Xi tilted her head and looked at the tree.

"My fifth uncle is quite particular about how he hides his money."

"What's all the fuss about? The first layer contained insect-repelling talismans, the second layer contained fragments of a mind-controlling array, and the third layer contained spirit stones. Why does a Fire Ancestral Witch go through all this trouble?"

Lin Ze curled his lip slightly.

"That's it? I'm in charge of the Jie Sect's accounts. The financial loopholes of the Tongtian Ancestor are a hundred times bigger than this. I'm too embarrassed to even mention them."

Lin Xi clapped her hands.

"Let's begin."

The two little ones squatted under the old locust tree.

Lin Xi tossed the precious gold coin in her hand into the air.

The money spun three times in the air.

"jingle--"

The spirit stone that had been hidden in the crack in the rock flew out on its own.

One.

Two.

Three.

Three hundred top-grade spirit stones floated in a line in front of Lin Xi.

The effect of the Treasure Dropping Coin is that it can drop anything regardless of its grade.

What are spirit stones? They can even drop down the magical treasures of saints for you.

Lin Ze counted them one by one from the side.

"Two hundred and ninety-seven...two hundred and ninety-eight...two hundred and ninety-nine...three hundred. That's it."

He quickly scribbled a few lines on the accounting jade slip.

"The five uncles of Zhurong—three hundred private spirit stones—have been transferred to the Pangu Temple Public Education Fund."

Lin Xi put three hundred spirit stones into a small cloth bag.

The bag was also embroidered with the words "Pangu Temple Central Bank".

The workmanship is exquisite.

I don't know who embroidered it for.

"Go. Put it in the finance office."

The two little ones picked up their cloth bags and were about to leave.

"etc."

Lin Ze looked back at the old locust tree.

He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.

It was placed in a crack in the rock.

The note read—

"Fifth Uncle: Your spirit stones have been frozen. Reason: Failure to declare private property to the Pangu Temple Finance Department as required. If you have any questions, please bring your Wu Clan identity token to the Pangu Temple Central Bank to complete the unfreezing procedures. — Jointly issued by Lin Ze and Lin Xi of the Pangu Temple Finance Department."

The two little ones finished work and left.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Rong came from the main hall.

He's in a good mood today.

I'm getting ready to check out my secret stash of money.

count.

touch.

Take a sniff.

This is a habit he has developed over the past hundred years.

I go to see him every three days.

I'm relieved as long as the quantity remains the same.

He squatted down under the old locust tree.

Reach your hand into the crack in the stone.

The first layer of insect-repelling talismans—are there.

The second layer of the mind-controlling array fragments—are there.

The spirit stones on the third floor—

Gone.

empty.

There wasn't even a trace left.

Zhu Rong touched the crack in the rock three times.

It is confirmed to be empty.

His head buzzed.

"Where are my spirit stones?"

He reached his hand all the way in.

I touched a piece of paper.

I took it out and looked at it.

"Your spirit stone has been frozen—"

"Failure to declare private assets as required—"

"Go to the Pangu Palace Central Bank to complete the unfreezing procedures—"

Zhu Rong finished reading the note.

His face darkened.

It's not black from the gas.

It was originally dark.

But now it's even darker.

"Lin Ze—!!! Lin Xi—!!!"

Zhu Rong's roar echoed three times in the backyard of the Pangu Palace.

A flock of birds took flight in fright.

It frightened Lin Pan, who was sunbathing in the yard, to tears.

Lin Tian peeked out from the rooftop.

"Fifth Uncle got scammed again."

"How many times has this happened?"

Bixiao asked from below.

"This is the third time this month."

Bixiao shook her head.

"Your fifth uncle had saved up a fortune for a hundred years. These two kids squandered it all in three months."

"He doesn't learn his lesson. He should just hide somewhere else."

"It's no use changing it. Lin Ze's passive ability as a Celestial Strategist means he can sweep up anything valuable within a hundred miles. Unless your fifth uncle stores the spirit stones beyond the Nine Heavens."

Lin Tian thought for a moment.

"There's really no other way."

Inside the finance office.

Lin Ze was recording entries in the public ledger.

"Pangu Palace Education Fund - Income: 300 top-grade spirit stones - Source: Zhu Rong Wu Bo's undeclared private property - Handling method: Confiscated and included in the training expenses of the second generation of the Heavenly Team."

Lin Xi counted the spirit stones beside him.

He nodded after counting.

"Sixteenth Brother, who will be the next one to get tricked?"

"Gonggong Liubo. He also hid a batch behind the waterfall. I found them last time."

"Okay. I'll go tomorrow."

The system made a "ding" sound in Lin Xuan's mind.

"Ding! The Pangu Palace's money barrier has been reinforced. Current asset valuation has been upgraded again. Even sages cannot enter: Confirm."

Lin Xuan held his teacup, listening to the distant roar of Zhu Rong.

I took a sip.

"These two kids have potential."
