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

Lin Shu was born the day after her birth.

The news spread.

The new little princess is not to be trifled with.

How exactly is he not someone to mess with?

She possesses a very special passive talent.

Blessed Fire Saint Body.

Wherever you go—good luck follows.

But this luck isn't just for yourself; it also affects the surrounding environment.

Specifically, this manifests as—

Wherever she goes, the spiritual minerals underground will automatically surface.

She didn't dig it. The ore just came out on its own.

The next morning.

backyard.

Lin Shu was being held by Hu Ximei as they sunbathed in the backyard.

The little girl's eyes were looking everywhere. She was very curious.

She broke free from Hu Ximei's embrace and lay prone on the ground—

She gently touched a warm jade floor tile in front of her with her little hand.

The floor tiles—have loosened.

She rummaged through it again.

The floor tiles—tumbled over.

Under the floor tiles—

A fiery red mineral vein was conspicuously exposed to the sunlight.

Top-grade fire crystal ore.

Condition – Top quality.

The densely packed fire crystals were embedded in the soil like rubies. The spiritual energy was so concentrated that the heat waves could be seen directly on the surface of the ore.

Hu Ximei was stunned.

"Is there... a mine down there?"

She had lived in the Pangu Palace for so long, yet she never knew that beneath the paving stones in the backyard—there was a top-quality mineral vein hidden.

But this vein—

It was not generated naturally.

To be precise—it wasn't here before.

It was "summoned" by Lin Shu's lucky constitution.

The passive effect of the innate lucky fire saint body is that wherever she goes, fire-related spiritual minerals in the earth's veins will actively approach her.

Hu Ximei hadn't had time to look at it closely yet—

Two figures darted out from the corner of the backyard wall.

Lin Ze.

Lin Xi.

The passive approach of Tianchouzhe had already been revealed long ago.

Lin Ze's pupils gleamed with golden light. He squatted beside the mine, quickly jotting down a few notes on the jade slip in his hand used for bookkeeping.

"Top-grade fire crystal ore. Estimated reserves: equivalent to 30,000 top-grade spirit stones. Quality is slightly above average."

He looked up at the direction of the ore vein.

"The mineral vein extends northeastward—"

He paused for a moment.

The expression on his face changed.

"It extends towards the direction of Uncle Zhurong."

There was a two-second pause.

Lin Xi tossed the treasure coin into the air.

"jingle--"

The copper coin traced an arc.

It landed precisely at the northeastern end of the ore vein.

The dark golden light penetrated the soil.

Then--

Deep within the mineral vein—

Something floated out.

One by one.

Top-grade spirit stone.

It's not ore. It's a spirit stone that was deliberately buried in the vein.

Lin Ze counted them.

"One hundred and fifty."

He checked the location, the depth, and the surrounding soil.

Then he wrote something on the accounting jade slip.

"Uncle Zhurong, Fourth Violation of Laws to Hide Private Property - Location: Under the floor tiles in the seventh section of the backyard, concealed by a top-grade fire crystal mine - Method: Using fire-type spiritual energy to confuse detection - Amount: One hundred and fifty top-grade spirit stones - Handling method: Confiscated in full - Purpose: Lin Shu's milk powder fund."

All the spirit stones floated into the cloth bag embroidered with "Pangu Palace Central Bank".

Lin Xi tied the bag closed.

Leave a note.

The note was stuffed into the soil at the bottom of the vein.

The note read—

"By the Fifth Master Zhurong: Your fourth illegally acquired private property has been confiscated according to law. In view of the cumulative four violations, in accordance with Article 9 of the Supplementary Provisions to the 'Provisional Regulations on the Declaration of Family Property of Pangu Temple,' your property review level has been upgraded from 'Key Attention' to 'Lifetime Monitoring.' Effective immediately, all changes to your property (including finding a spirit stone or hiding it anywhere) will be monitored in real time by the Central Bank. Wishing you a pleasant life. — Jointly signed by Lin Ze, Governor of the Pangu Temple Central Bank, and Lin Xi, Vice Governor."

The two little ones have finished.

Carrying a cloth bag, he slipped away.

-

Fifteen minutes later.

"Wow—Aaaaaaah—"

Zhu Rong's howling echoed in the backyard of the Pangu Temple.

The sound was even louder than last time.

Even Yunxiao, who was simmering ginseng soup in the kitchen, put down her ladle.

"Is it Fifth Brother again?"

"This is the fourth time," the Holy Mother of Wudang calmly noted down.

In the backyard, Zhu Rong squatted beside the exposed mine vein, staring at the empty mud pit and the note at the bottom.

He picked up the note.

I read it once.

The phrase "lifetime monitoring" —

It felt like four knives were stabbing into his heart.

"I--"

He opened his mouth as if to curse.

But beside him—Lin Shu was being held by Hu Ximei. The little girl was giggling at him.

The cluster of nine-colored flames on his forehead flickered.

Zhu Rong looked at his niece's smiling face.

His hand clutching the note—

It's over.

What can he do?

Hitting his niece? That's his thirteenth brother's daughter. If he even touches a single finger, the whole family will chase after him and beat him.

Attacking Lin Ze and Lin Xi? The entire Pangu Palace would turn against him.

He squatted by the empty mud pit.

Facing the sky.

Long and long—

He sighed.

"I'm never hiding money again."

He said this—even he himself didn't believe it.

Gonggong, who was passing by, heard it.

I took two steps in the opposite direction. Then I stopped.

I turned my head and looked in the direction of my waterfall.

—I hope that the top-grade Thunder Pearl I hid won't be found again.

He quickened his pace.

-

Ao Cunxin stood in front of the guest room window.

She had already changed out of her tattered silver scale armor.

She put on the clothes that Yunxiao had specially found for her—a light blue long dress.

The skirt's fabric is very soft. It feels cool against my skin.

She had never worn anything like this before.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always worn armor.

The person reflected in the bronze mirror—she almost couldn't recognize him.

The woman in the bronze mirror.

Broad shoulders. Slim waist. Tall stature. Striking features.

Her long hair wasn't tied up; it was loose over her shoulders.

She raised her hand and touched her face.

The wound on his forehead was healed by Lin Xuan using the Wood Element Law. Not a single scar was left.

"...Is this me?"

She muttered something.

The sound of children's laughter drifted in from outside the window. And—a very loud "whoosh!"

It's Lin Long.

They were chasing after the purple bubbles that Lin Xia was blowing out in the air in the backyard.

The bubble burst. Purple mist covered Lin Long's face.

Lin Long sneezed.

Ao Cunxin watched this scene unfold.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Then she looked down at her hands, which were gripping the hem of her skirt.

My hands are shaking.

It's not cold.

Yes—her heart was beating too fast.
