Lu Huan sat on the flying magical artifact and did not rush to the Song family, but went to the Miao family first.

The Miao family was one of the eleven people supported by Lu Huan's maternal grandfather, and their main business was a fruit and general merchandise store. The general merchandise store mainly sold various dried fruits and mountain products.

In particular, Yanjing is located in the north, and further northeast are the Daning Regional Military Commission and the Liaodong Regional Military Commission, which are not very far from Buxian Mountain.

Therefore, the Miao people's warehouses are filled with all kinds of dried fruits, nuts, and sun-dried mountain products, and even a lot of rare mushrooms.

Deep inside the warehouse, Lu Huan also found several boxes of ginseng and lingzhi.

It's a pity that they are all dried ginseng that has been processed; otherwise, if they were planted in the space, their medicinal effects would be greatly enhanced in a few years.

After finishing with the warehouse, it was time to go to the Miao family's backyard and their shop in the West Market.

Lu Huan worked for nearly an hour, making sure that, before the invisibility talisman lost its effect, the Miao family, like the Zou, Su, and Zhao families, had nothing left in their houses and shops except for the four walls and pillars.

To truly achieve this, brothers should share both joy and sorrow, and advance and retreat together.

As for those houses and shops, consider them as their wages over the years.

Soon, Lu Huan arrived at the Song family's residence.

The Song family is different from the other ten families. You can tell from the folk song that the Song family mainly runs a funeral business and is not located in the West Market, but in the northeast corner of the East Market.

To prevent water from flowing away, there are not many houses around, and it is also right next to the release pond.

Lu Huan accepted a few bundles of yellow paper, but then decided she didn't want to accept any more. These things, aside from being burned for the deceased, seemed to have no other use.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she simply moved all the wreaths out of the shop and placed them on both sides of the shop. Yellow paper, gold ingots, and all kinds of paper figures and flower carts were all piled up on the open ground in front of the shop.

To prevent the Song family from taking back the wreaths, Lu Huan wrote the Song family head's name on them with black ink.

The fire that night illuminated a large part of the eastern city and even alerted the soldiers at the release pond.

By the time they arrived, the flames of the entire pile of yellow paper had already reached the height of a three-story building, and the surrounding temperature was astonishing.

Fortunately, there were no conditions for the fire to spread outwards. The fire looked scary, but it was not dangerous.

When the soldiers saw that the name on the wreath was also surnamed Song, they assumed that someone in the shop had died, so they just stood around watching and warming themselves by the fire, without organizing anyone to put it out.

The head of the centurions planned to gather the Song family members and give them a good scolding after the fire was extinguished.

Even if someone in the family has died, such a large fire shouldn't be lit. Even if you want to burn paper money, you should inform them beforehand.

This alarmed the garrison, and they would have to spend a large sum of money to appease the soldiers under his command.

The shopkeepers and employees who came out of the Song family shop looked a bit strange. At first, they were quite shocked, but later they cried quite emotionally.

After silently cursing to himself, the centurion put on a stern face and walked towards the group.

Lu Huan was unaware of all this.

Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the officials and soldiers in Yanjing was drawn to the East Market, she had already crossed the East Gate, left Yanjing, and headed straight for the Li family's estate.

The Li family mainly ran a meat and slaughtering business and had many dealings with tribes on the grasslands. Therefore, Lu Huan was not surprised at all that he chose to ally himself with the Zou family.

The Li family's estate was located north of Yanjing City, and Lu Huan had to wander around for a while before finding it.

But soon, she encountered a problem that gave her a headache—she couldn't put the livestock in the manor into her spatial storage.

Are you really going to let her go on a killing spree?

Lu Huan frowned and slipped into the space.

Her gaze fell on the large metal box of the trading system.

Lu Huan: [Deng Ya, can that spatial button you gave me hold living things?]

Deng Ya didn't respond for a while, and Lu Huan couldn't just wait idly.

Her gaze fell on the box of crystal cores.

When she was organizing things earlier, she had separated the crystal cores by type. This box is full of power crystal cores.

The crystal nuclei inside were of various sizes, emitting a mesmerizing light.

She used to think that eating the smallest one would be enough to protect herself. But after sparring with Gao Yan, she realized that this man was incredibly strong!

Gao Yan is already so strong without long-term training, let alone his plans to join the army, where his strength will surely be even more astonishing.

Lu Huan didn't want to be at a disadvantage, especially after learning that the jade pendant space belonged to Gao Yan.

Thinking of the pain she experienced the first time she took it, she gritted her teeth and took out another level-one crystal core.

Even if it's not to beat Gao Yan and gain the upper hand, it's for self-preservation!

She watched as the entire crystal core melted into the spiritual spring water, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

The familiar pain struck, and Lu Huan rolled on the ground in agony, her face turning bright red. But she gritted her teeth and only let out soft moans, without crying out.

Unseen by her, two strands of energy slowly converged towards her abdomen.

The pain didn't last long, not as long as Lu Huan had expected.

She summoned a gold bar and, despite her best efforts, could only slightly deform it. Unlike the level two power users Wu Xuefei had described, she couldn't easily mold the gold bar into a round or flat shape.

"Could it be that the effect was reduced because it was my second time taking it?"

Lu Huan muttered to himself, then swallowed three more level-one crystal cores in a row. His strength had indeed increased, but he still hadn't upgraded to level two.

Lu Huan: [I've consumed five level-one power crystals, so why hasn't my ability leveled up yet?]

After leaving a message for Wu Xuefei, Lu Huan had no time to worry about the matter anymore, because Deng Ya replied.

Deng Ya: [Yes, but you must be careful. Once a living creature is put into the spatial button, it will be in a coma and will still die after a while!]

Lu Huan was actually hoping the cattle and sheep he put in would die, so he wouldn't have to do it himself.

Worried that one storage button wouldn't be enough, she traded grain, vegetables, fruits, and Deng Ya for two more, finally managing to fit all the livestock from the Li family's farm inside.

There were also many fine horses from the grasslands, and Lu Huan couldn't bear to see them die. After leaving the Li family estate, she returned to Yanjing City.

The streets, which should have been deserted, were bustling with activity. The East Market was noisy, and the West Market was not peaceful either.

Lu Huan sneered and returned to the address Qin Bo had given her, releasing all the horses from the spatial buttons.

After working late into the night, Lu Huan returned to the Gao family home at almost 5 a.m.

She felt as if she had just snuggled into Gao Yan's arms when the man woke up.

Lu Huan rolled over, wishing she could curl up into a ball, and mumbled sleepily, "Ayan, don't bother me. Have He Niang apologize for me; I won't be going out for breakfast."

Gao Yan hugged Lu Huan tenderly, kissed the back of her head, and mentally berated himself several times.

His wife had already begged for mercy, how could he be such a beast, unwilling to stop!

It has to be said, it was a beautiful misunderstanding.
