Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1048 - 533: Swindler

"Over the years, the Nangong Family has hunted countless demons in Li Jiang, trading only Nascent Soul Realm materials with the Central Plains. However, the truly precious Primordial Giant Beasts, Great Demon Gods, and Divinity Transformation Treasures, each and every one of them, are privately hidden in the Nangong Family’s treasury. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The location of that treasury is also extremely secretive, with the entrance located within the mistress’s bedroom. Yet, no one knows what Ancient treasures or Divine Skills are involved; every time, I would enter the room with my eyes covered and, upon opening my eyes, find myself in a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

And naturally, there are also Barriers within that Grotto Heaven, with the secret treasury further fortified by the collaborative efforts of the Heavenly Platform Divine Monarch and Master Huang. Not only can it be opened only by the direct lineage of the Nangong Family, but it also requires two pieces of Hook Jade, one Yin and one Yang, combined to form the key, only then can the treasury be opened to retrieve the hidden objects.

That pair of Yin Yang Hook Jade is a rare treasure indeed, a naturally complementary pair that cannot be replicated, and their spiritual breath is exceedingly pure, needing to be nurtured daily in the Qi Sea True Essence. However, once separated, the Yang Jade burns fiercely, and the Yin Jade is chillingly cold, making them unbearable for ordinary people. Thus, the mistress entrusted the Yang Jade to the Twelve Tiger Ministers while we maids took turns carrying the Yin Jade, sealing it within our bodies for nourishment.

Now, it is my turn to carry and refine this piece of Yin Jade, and only tomorrow night can I ask the temple master to unseal it and return it. If we were to elope now, the Nangong Family would spare no expense to retrieve the key. Once it falls into their hands again, I’m afraid..."

Chen Xuantian held the maid as they walked off the boat, listening to her rapid confession in his ear, he smiled slightly,

"I see, I understand now. Don’t worry, everything is under my control. As long as you trust me, I assure you will be safe from harm."

The maid clung to him tightly, fearing he would abandon her,

"I trust you, I’ve told you everything, what else is there not to trust? I only ask you to wait for me. After tomorrow, once the Yin Jade is returned, I will leave with you..."

Chen Xuantian chuckled,

"No need to wait until tomorrow night; we’ll leave tonight."

"But the Hook Jade... Ah!"

The maid exclaimed suddenly, realizing that the plump monk had picked her up, with the wind from the lake rushing past her ear, her disheveled hair brushing against her face. Only then did she come to her senses, realizing that, amidst her chaotic thoughts, she had been led by him, aimlessly reaching the ship’s side, getting scooped up by the waist, and flying across the lake!

"Ah, is this really eloping now?"

Chen Xuantian laughed,

"No rush, I have it all figured out."

Before the maid could react in this blink of an eye, they had flown back to the Nangong Family’s flagship, slipped through a window, returning to the room he was assigned.

With lightning agility, Chen Xuantian threw the maid onto the bed, and his hands were swift as the wind, stripping her of all her jeweled hairpins, and the layers of silk and satin wrapped around her, leaving her completly undressed. Then he began to undo his own clothes with practiced ease, leaving the maid speechless.

"What are you doing? We need to escape quickly! Aren’t you impatient or something? Why didn’t you get it over with earlier? Did you think the lavatory was dirty?"

"These ornaments have tracking spells on them."

Rolling his eyes at her, Chen Xuantian draped his monk’s robe over her, baring his own arms,

"Even when escaping, we have to prepare a little, don’t just leave hastily."

The maid thought for a moment, realizing he had a point, and fetched her clothes to head for the door,

"I have some jewelry stored away, let me fetch them, and then we can leave."

Sighing, Chen Xuantian grabbed her,

"You’ve slaved away for their family all these years, knowing they plan to cast away their donkeys once the millstone is worn out, and you’re hung up on those trinkets?"

The maid paused,

"Then what should I bother with? Weren’t you the one who said we should pack..."

Chen Xuantian rolled his eyes at her again.

The maid suddenly understood, feeling amused and frustrated, punching him playfully,

"Oh, you! You’re utterly impossible!"

Chen Xuantian chuckled, wrapped those stripped silk ornaments in the quilt, and tossed them under the bed. He then placed a talisman at the window and door.

"The Nangong Family is ruthless. They owe us this; what’s mine, they can’t take from me, so I’ll just take it myself."

The maid was amused and rolled her eyes at him,

"I’ve told you, their treasury is full of traps, and I don’t even know how to extract the Yin Jade sealed inside me. Without the other half, the Yang Jade, how could you make a key?"

"And even if you have the key, without someone from the Nangong Family leading you, there’s no getting in. Furthermore, the treasury entrance is in the mistress’s bedroom! Are you going to walk into a trap?"

Laughing softly, Chen Xuantian drew a talisman on the maid’s forehead,

"That’s why I told you not to worry. It’s all part of my plan, and tonight, the mistress is not here."

The maid frowned,

"How can she not be? Every night, for the past few days, she’s with the Twelve Tigers..."

Before she could finish, Chen Xuantian had already hoisted her over his back, stepped on Gang Dou, and, with six quick steps in the room, took a sudden horizontal step in the seventh foot, Instantly shifting, suddenly as if whisked through a crack in the door, In the blink of an eye, passed through the wall and entered a magnificent palace.

Inside the Feihuang Palace, the walls painted in vermilion, sandalwood for beams. Twelve layers of shark silk curtains hung with Bright Moon Pearls illuminated like the Milky Way at night. The phoenix bed carved from Kunlun purple jade revealed intertwined patterns, covered with a multi-colored silkworm quilt, chilly to the touch, warm when draped. In front of the bed stood the Golden Lion Treasure Tripod, breathing out azure smoke, forming shapes of dancing phoenixes.
