The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Of course, she doubted that one or two low-grade demonic core was sufficient for a certain someone to even fill the gap between his teeth .

Ever since Shen Yanxiao grew up and became sensible, it was the first time that she had encountered a monetary problem .

“How many low-grade demonic cores do you think you’d need to recover your strength to undo my second seal?” Shen Yanxiao asked .

Xiu paused briefly before he revealed a number that shocked Shen Yanxiao so much that she’d puke blood if she could .

“Thirty thousand . ”

“Thirty thousand…” Shen Yanxiao then went silent . She couldn’t even afford three thousand, let alone thirty!

“High-grade demonic cores would be best because then, I’d only require around two thousand of those . ” It was rare for Xiu to be ‘considerate . ’

‘I’d only require around two thousand of those . ’ Only around two thousand!

Shen Yanxiao facepalmed . The empires only managed to eliminate around ten thousand of high-level demon beasts that year, and those were then split equally between them . At that time, the total amount of high-grade demonic cores that Longxuan Empire possessed was probably no more than four thousand, and a certain lord had the audacity to ask for two thousand of those!

Unless she wore a crown decorated with precious gems and sat on a golden high throne, it was impossible for her to get such a quantity of demonic cores, even if her wealth was comparable to the other empires .

“Let’s discuss low-grade demonic core instead . ”

There was no need to think about high-grade demonic cores because Shen Yanxiao would only be able to get her hands on the low-grade ones . After the wave of the military campaign ended, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of demon beasts would have been slaughtered . Thirty thousand demonic cores would not be impossible, as long as she had the money for them .

The Vermilion Bird Family was very wealthy, after all . They were publicly recognized as one of the five great aristocratic families in Longxuan Empire . Even if their wealth could not rival other countries, they were still considered as notably affluent .

If Shen Feng was in a good mood, to buy thirty thousand demonic cores was as simple as to obtain a stick of candied fruit . However, the problem was that Shen Yanxiao could not ask for it, and she did not have any bargaining chip to request Shen Feng to fork out the money for that .

At that moment, Shen Yanxiao’s only problem was a monetary one!

On a positive note, Shen Yanxiao rejoiced over her excellent selection of the ‘profession’ in her past life . She was a thief goddess, for goodness sake! To her, money was like stones that littered the floor . If she had chosen to be a killer or a spy, then she would have probably ended up rotting in a dark corner somewhere .

“Only thirty thousand demonic cores? Don’t worry, with this lord’s skill, you will certainly puke from overeating!” Shen Yanxiao was considerably confident of her skills . Furthermore, she was currently situated within the affluent Vermilion Bird Family, and any of their random second-generation or third-generation member would have at least ten thousand with them if not more . She would definitely take advantage of that situation .

A certain someone decided to overlook Shen Yanxiao’s self-proclaimed ‘lord’ because of the words’ puke from overeating . ’

Eventually, during one dark and stormy night, a skinny black silhouette appeared in the courtyards of the homes in the Vermilion Bird Family’s compound . She found many opportunities to stretch her evil claws towards those full and dependable wallets .

The next morning, just as the first rays of sunlight shone down on mother earth, waves of mournful wails exploded within the quiet rooms of the Vermilion Bird Family .

“Fuck, where’s my money!”

“Shit! Where did this reckless thief come from? How dare he to steal my money?”

“That’s all the money for my marriage! I don’t want to continue living anymore!!”

In just one night, more than twenty members of the Vermilion Bird Family suffered from her acts of thievery .
