After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Following the direction of the light, I finally saw a clear view.

A lush green landscape came into view, with flowers and plants growing so abundantly that they almost blocked out the sky; this was a place that had been untouched for a long time.

A damp smell filled the air; there were no birdsong or insect chirps, only utter tranquility.

The cliff face was so close together that only a narrow sliver of sky remained. The faint light they first saw came from this narrow sliver of sky.

"Young Master, is this outside the city?" Inside the secret passage, Jiang Xiaoqi had already given Wenbin a general account of what happened there, which was why Wenbin asked this question.

"It looks like a dense forest outside the city, but I don't know its exact location."

"Click..." Jiang Xiaoqi's steps faltered as her foot stepped on an inconspicuous stone, causing the stone wall beside her to cave in!

"Host, your luck has arrived!" The system, which hadn't shown itself for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

"This is the private treasury of a princess from the previous dynasty. It contains countless treasures and has never been discovered by anyone over the years. Even the Liu family, who dug the tunnel, did not know where it was."

When the Liu family was digging the secret passage, a collapse occurred, so he went back and dug another one, the narrower one you saw at the beginning!

Jiang Xiaoqi remained silent. Collapse? That was the spot where he had fallen. And when they entered the secret passage, there were indeed two paths to choose from. The one he chose seemed to be the one that was first dug out and then abandoned.

But how does the system know all this? Isn't it some kind of "Scroll King System"? How could it know so much about the affairs of this world?

They previously claimed they couldn't obtain the imperial gazette, but now they even know the location of a former dynasty princess's private treasury! Something's fishy!

"W-What's wrong, host? You've already discovered a treasure, why aren't you happy?"

The system spoke awkwardly, seemingly realizing it had said too much. This host was not easily fooled; not asking questions didn't mean it hadn't thought about them.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want the system to just coast by this time. "Yeah, I'm really happy! Let's go back and have a good chat!"

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and pushed the stone wall with all his might. Wenbin saw this and also stepped forward to help. The stone wall was surprisingly easy to push. To be precise, it was a stone door.

When the door opened, the sight before them once again shocked the two little ones.

The treasury was filled with gold and silver jewels, their brilliance dazzling.

Wenbin's eyes widened in astonishment. "This! Young Master! Have we stumbled into the tomb of some nobleman?"

Ignoring the glittering gold, Jiang Xiaoqi picked up a book from the ground, opened it, and saw that it looked like a diary or perhaps a record of daily life.

The document contained a record of events within the inner palace of the previous dynasty. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the system's voice sounded again: "Host, time is limited. Let's hurry up and pack our things and leave."

Jiang Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then found a blind spot in Wenbin's line of sight and put the book into her exquisite space.

"Wenbin, pick out some things you like, take as many as you can."

"Huh? Young master, shall I take it?"

"Yes, we found this together. Let's take some. We might not be able to come back again. This secret room can be opened once, but it might not be able to be opened a second time. Many nobles' mechanisms are equipped with self-destruct devices."

Jiang Xiaoqi also put a relatively valuable item into his Linglong Space. As for silver ingots, he doesn't really care about them now, as they take up too much space!

Wenbin was conflicted, regretting that his arms were too short. He took off the outer robe that Jiang Xiaoqi had given him, quickly turned it into a bundle, and continued to wander around wearing only a pair of underpants.

This gold ingot, after we go out, we'll give it to Grandpa so he can buy some land and a small house for him to live out his days. Hehe, the young master is so good to him, he's so lucky to be with the young master!

After picking and choosing, the bundle was full. Wenbin wasn't greedy; once he had taken enough, he tied the bundle tightly and slung it diagonally across his body. The bundle was just the right size, weighing about ten kilograms; if it were too heavy, he wouldn't be able to carry it out.

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled as she looked at the bulging bundle on Wenbin's back.

His space was already full, so he stopped staring at the treasures.

Unfortunately, there is a little bit, but it's like trying to bite off more than you can chew; the tiny one-cubic-meter space is already crammed full.

All the treasures in the income space were "loose," without any boxes or packaging. He even threw out the large wooden crates he used to store things, just to make more room.

Jiang Xiaoqi decided to leave, since she had class tomorrow. If she missed class without a reason, her parents would definitely notice, since they only knew about the secret passage and not about the "treasure".

When I have time, I'll have to find a way to block up this abandoned passage. Since we can get here from here, it's hard to guarantee that others won't be able to get into his house from the outside.

How can that be allowed? It's far too unsafe! How can such a hidden danger exist in our own bedside?!

"Ahem, host, are you going to leave?" the system's voice came again.

"Well, didn't you see? The space is completely full. Are you waiting for this former dynasty princess to invite you to stay for a meal?"

"Hehe, host, there are still quite a few good things here. Although most of these paintings, calligraphy and books are moldy, the real gold, silver, jade and gemstones have not decayed. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave them here?"

"If you have a solution, just say so. Don't try to test me!"

"Host, don't worry. You can actually use a little bit of your points to temporarily upgrade the space. Once you take these things with you and leave, the temporary space will become invalid. Isn't that a great deal?"

How many points do I need to overdraft?

"Not much, just ten thousand points..."

"How much?!" Jiang Xiaoqi picked at her ear. Was this a tiny bit of points?

"Hehe, host, don't be in such a hurry. Why don't you ask how much the space can be expanded? You will need some points, but the rewards are very generous. It's a sure thing!" the system said in a flattering tone.

"Then tell me, how much can the space expand? How temporary is it? Don't let the temporary space fail before I even get out." Jiang Xiaoqi felt it was better to ask clearly, after all, this system had always been unreliable, and it had been intentionally or unintentionally hiding many things from him.

"The temporary space has been upgraded, increasing the area tenfold. What was once a single cubic meter will become eleven cubic meters. Although it's a temporary allowance, it will be extremely useful for the host!"

The system kept tempting them, it seems that accumulating points is very important to the system, which can be felt from the more emotional tone of the system after the Linglong Space was opened.

Jiang Xiaoqi really needs these extra ten cubic meters of space right now, since she and Wenbin had spent half a day picking through the treasures here, but they hadn't even taken away a tenth of them.

"Can't you make it any cheaper?"

"No, no, 10,000 points is already too low, host. Think about it carefully, ten cubic meters, how many good things can that hold!" the system said anxiously.

"No discount? Are there any free gifts?"

"Uh? A free gift? What does the host want?" the system cautiously probed.

"I want one hundred Youth Preservation Pills and one hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills!"

"Too many! Two hundred pills are worth several thousand points! Host, why don't you just rob them!"

"You ask for an exorbitant price, but I'll haggle. If you won't give me a discount, can't I at least try to negotiate one? You can bargain too!"

"At most, fifty Youth Preservation Pills and thirty Marrow Cleansing Pills—that's a small business! No more than that!"

"Deal! Upgrade!"

Tongzi: ...I still feel like I gave too much...

Jiang Xiaoqi originally had a few hundred points left, but after overdrafting 10,000 points, she now has a negative 9500 points. It will take her several more years to clear her debts.

However, he was indeed reluctant to give up everything he had. Although he had a stable income from the beauty pills, such "windfall" was rare and hard to come by. He had to seize the so-called protagonist's halo, otherwise what if they didn't arrange such a plot for him next time?

Gold and silver jewelry, jade and gemstones, divine weapons, rare and unique books, and antiques and paintings that can still be salvaged are all collected into the space.

They only accepted the items, not the boxes. Wenbin stood to the side and didn't notice any change. He was just wondering why his young master was spacing out. Could it be that he couldn't bear to part with the remaining items?

"Alright, that's about enough, let's go," Jiang Xiaoqi said with satisfaction.

Wenbin nodded, tossed the bundle to his chest and hugged it, following closely behind his young master.
