Chapter 86 - Madam Of The Eternal Shadow Palace
While Bai Rouyun was injuring and knocking out one person after another, she kept their lives, as she had no interest in becoming public enemy number one in the Imperial Capital.
While she did have the backing of Li Moyun and Little Chu, she also knew that she could not do whatever she wanted.
Also, while she did not mind killing, she was not so bloodthirsty as to kill a bunch of youngsters merely for their things.
She continued to find people, using her Shattering Mountain Fist and knocking them down one after another.
Soon only two people were left on the big battlefield. Bai Rouyun looked at them puzzledly. These two were focused on fighting; their entire beings were involved in the fight. Clearly, they were used to being rivals.
They did not even notice that all their men, and women, had been knocked down one after another and robbed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at them so devoted to the battle, Bai Rouyun shook her head. They were likely the ones with the most beast cores on their bodies, so she could not just leave them be.
Moving to their side, she knocked them down at the same time. They were so focused they never noticed her movements, and Bai Rouyun was quite satisfied after finding their bags.
These two people had around a hundred and thirty beast cores in total, and Bai Rouyun gladly took them all.
She hummed a little tune before she left the battlefield. Her amount of beast cores had grown increasingly big, and she was delighted with it.
Robbing seemed to be quite a lucrative business. Back in her previous life, she had only ever robbed tombs and graves, but now she found that robbing humans was giving her much better results. Should she perhaps become a robber in this life?
If Li Moyun had heard her thoughts, he would have been speechless and knocked her on the head. She was the madam of the Eternal Shadow Palace. Did she really have to sound so poor and resort to robbing others for resources?
In fact, this Immemorial Chamomile that she wanted from the royal family was nothing to the Eternal Shadow Palace. If she just opened her mouth, Little Chu would get her one right away.
But upon seeing her determination to partake in the Royal Hunting Feast, Little Chu dared not say anything. He also had a strange feeling that Bai Rouyun was unwilling to take too many things from Li Moyun. Although they were married, she had not yet opened her heart completely to him.
Bai Rouyun was unaware that an Immemorial Chamomile was nothing to the Eternal Shadow Palace. She had never belonged to a sect or hidden family before, so it was quite difficult for her to know what resources they had and who could take them out.
Also, Li Moyun was not around at the moment, so she did not know who to ask for things. As such, she decided to rely entirely on herself.
Bai Rouyun kept wandering through the forest, heading towards the exit. She was starting to hope that she would encounter other robbers, but it was as if the silent forest refused to give her what she wanted.
Soon, she reached the exit, and when she left, she found that a group had already gathered outside, while another group was still inside the forest.
Those who had arrived were having their beast cores counted, and Bai Rouyun elegantly stepped behind the queue, waiting for it to be her turn.
One after another, the experts who had participated had their results counted, but when Bai Rouyun reached the table, she could not help but frown.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hurry up!" the official who was in charge of counting said, but Bai Rouyun rubbed her nose embarrassedly. "I need you to find another table. I have too many cores," she said with a low voice.
However, everyone in front of the counting booth was silent, so although her voice was low, everyone heard it.
"Another table?" The man asked, squinting as he looked at Bai Rouyun. "Okay, but if you are joking with me, I will punish you."
The man then found another table, and Bai Rouyun emptied her bags. The beast cores kept rolling out one after another, and soon, the two tables were filled with beast cores, where most of them were of the second-rank.
However, everyone saw a few three-ranked beast cores amongst them, and they sucked in a breath of cold air.
How was it possible for a woman to get that many beast cores, not to mention some of the third rank?
The official in charge of counting got a dignified expression on his face as he began sorting them according to rank, and then started counting them.
"Princess Yun has seventy-six first ranked beast cores, six-hundred-and-ninety-eight second-ranked beast cores, and twenty-seven third-ranked beast cores."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the number of beast cores she had gotten. One has to know that each of these beast cores equaled a beast that could cultivate, but when looking at Bai Rouyun there were no injuries to her body, even her clothes were neat and tidy.
No one thought that she had cheated, nor did they believe that she had some helpers. Everyone knew that the majority of the upper class disliked her, so no one would help her.
Also, the rules did not state how one could get the beast cores, as long as they had been gained inside the forest. As such, it would be tough for the Crown Prince to defeat Bai Rouyun.
