Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Fanxin slept for the entire afternoon. At night, when most people were asleep, she changed into nightclothes and ran out of the Duke’s Estate’s backyard through the wall towards the largest medicine store in the Imperial City, the Hundred Herb Hall. It was said that the big boss behind the scenes was the current Imperial Preceptor.

The reason she chose the Hundred Herb Hall was that not only was it the largest medicine hall in the Imperial City, but it was also the Imperial Preceptor’s property.

That bullsh*t Imperial Preceptor actually dared to send people to assassinate her grandfather. In return, she would clean the Hundred Herb Hall and treat it as taking some interest from the Imperial Preceptor’s Estate.

It was said that the Hundred Herb Hall had a lot of precious spirit herbs. One could buy thousand-year-old ginseng and lingzhi at any time. As there were too many precious spirit herbs, the security inside was very tight. According to rumors, there was a Spirit Building expert guarding it.

The cultivation realms in the Tongxuan Continent were very clear. Those who had just awakened their spirit were collectively called to be in the Spirit Awakening Realm. After the Spirit Awakening Realm was the Spirit Building Realm, followed by the Spirit Refining Realm. Once one reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, each realm was further divided into the levels of small success, large success, and perfection.

Of course, there were people above the Spirit Transformation Realm, but the Nanling Empire was only a small and remote country. The people here could not come into contact with anything too advanced. Those who had reached the Spirit Building Realm were already considered experts. Even the Old Ancestor of the Nanling Empire was only in the Spirit Refining Realm and had not yet reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Xue Fanxin had just awakened her spirit. She was only a small fly in the Spirit Awakening Realm, an initial stage warrior.

If someone in the Spirit Awakening Realm faced off against someone in the Spirit Building Realm, they would only be tormented and toyed around.

However, stealing relied on skills and wisdom, not brute force. Hence, she was definitely going to steal the spirit medicine from the Hundred Herb Hall tonight.

For a person with rich experience in stealing, going deep into the enemy’s base was not a difficult task. Xue Fanxin easily infiltrated the Hundred Herb Hall. While trying her best to suppress her aura, she searched for the place where the spirit herbs were hidden.

The spirit herbs in the Hundred Herb Hall were stored together. Normal herbs were casually placed on the racks, while the precious spirit herbs were locked in a special drawer.

Xue Fanxin used a hairpin to open the drawer, then placed all the spirit herbs in it into a sack.

“Wow… Thousand-year-old blood ginseng! This is good stuff!”

“Evergreen Flower, Phoenix-Tail Grass, Thousandgold Vine, Purple Orchid Leaf Grass… I’ve hit a jackpot. I’m rich, I’m rich.”

Xue Fanxin kept stuffing the spirit herbs in the drawer into the sack. Before long, the sack was full and heavy. It was very difficult for her to carry it.

If she carried such a heavy sack, she would not be able to escape from the Hundred Herb Hall. What should she do?

Just as Xue Fanxin was at a loss, a soft voice suddenly sounded from behind her. “Do you need my help?”

“Ah—” Hearing someone speak from behind her, Xue Fanxin jumped in shock and screamed. Fortunately, halfway through, she covered her mouth in time to prevent herself from making too much noise. She finally saw the person behind her. She glared at him unhappily and said angrily, “What are you doing here?”

This person was none other than the boring Ninth Imperial Uncle, Ye Jiushang.

“My consort is out at night to exercise. Of course, I want to come and see how capable she is. However…” Ye Jiushang glanced at the large sack in Xue Fanxin’s hand with a profound gaze, feeling like laughing.

This girl was small and lacked strength, but she was quite bold. Xin’er was also very greedy. She actually wanted to steal all the spirit herbs in the entire Hundred Herb Hall.

While stealing the stuff, did she even think whether she could carry it or not?

However, she was really cute and interesting like this. After seeing her, his mood improved.. He liked this little girl more and more.
