Moreover, she understood that if it hadn't been for this man tonight, she would have had to rely on Xiaojin to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion safely.
Xiaojin was a divine beast. She couldn't let him out until the last moment.
Seeing that his master really seemed not to care, the Gold - Devouring Beast didn't say anything more.
However, what happened tonight also gave the Gold - Devouring Beast some stimulation.
He gritted his teeth and connected the access permission of his storage space to Feng Yuqin's spiritual sense.
As soon as the connection was established, Feng Yuqin sensed it.
Immediately afterwards, the scene in the Gold - Devouring Beast's storage space also appeared in Feng Yuqin's mind.
When Feng Yuqin saw clearly what was in front of her, her mouth fell open in shock. "This..."
"Master, this is all my wealth. I've been saving it all the time because I didn't have a master before. Now that I have you, I'll give all these things to you. You can use them as you like. There are many cultivation resources in it that can improve your strength," said the Gold - Devouring Beast.
"Give... give them to me?" Feng Yuqin almost bit her tongue.
You should know that the Gold - Devouring Beast's storage space was as big as a mountain, and it was all filled with treasures. She was dazzled. This was even more than her wealth in her previous life.
"Yes, master. I hope that next time you encounter an enemy, you won't be as passive as you were today. There are many cultivation resources here. You can use them to strengthen yourself," the Gold - Devouring Beast said seriously.
Feng Yuqin took a deep breath. "Xiaojin, thank you. But this is what you've accumulated with great effort. I can't take it."
In her previous life, she was an orphan with no one to rely on. She did everything by herself and was used to it.
Although she was shocked to see the mountains of treasures in the Gold - Devouring Beast's space today, she had no intention of taking them for herself.
"Master, are you blaming me for not taking out these treasures earlier?" The Gold - Devouring Beast thought that his master owed that dangerous man a favor and regretted not giving the treasures to his master earlier.
If his master had the treasures, she could have saved her mother, and she wouldn't have owed the favor.
Sensing the Gold - Devouring Beast's thoughts, Feng Yuqin was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of emotion flashed through her heart. "Xiaojin, I'm not blaming you. Even if you had taken out the treasures before, I might still have agreed to that man."
"Why?" the Gold - Devouring Beast asked puzzledly.
"My mother can't wait," Feng Yuqin said. "Although you have a lot of treasures, if I want to sell them and then hire someone to rescue my mother from the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention how hard it is to find a reliable person. Even if I find one, if I pay too little, the other party won't be willing to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion. If I pay too much, with my current strength, I'll easily attract thieves. No matter how you calculate it, it's a risky thing, and it's also easy to leak the news."
The Gold - Devouring Beast wasn't stupid. After hearing her words, he understood. "So, master, you're worried that if we tip off the enemy, your mother will be transferred, and it will be difficult for us to find her if the other party is on guard?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "So, this favor has to be owed. But since you have so many treasures here, and that man hasn't decided what favor he wants yet, we can take a few good treasures to offset the favor."
The Gold - Devouring Beast also thought this method was feasible. "That man is too dangerous. It's better to stay away from him."
Feng Yuqin had the same idea. So, after asking the Gold - Devouring Beast, she selected some good treasures and planned to give them to that man the next time she met him.
Putting the things aside, Feng Yuqin took another look at the mountains of treasures. Suddenly, she remembered what Xiaoying had said to her before: Once you've made a contract with a Gold - Devouring Beast, you'll never be poor again.
The Gold - Devouring Beast's space was filled with all kinds of treasures, and most of them were from ancient times.
Wasn't this exactly what it meant to never be poor again?
...
At noon the next day, Feng Yuqin, who was cultivating, was interrupted by the noisy voices outside.
"Master, it's your father, the Prime Minister," the Gold - Devouring Beast's voice sounded in Feng Yuqin's mind.
She frowned slightly and opened her eyes, looking towards the door.
"Aqin, are you in there? Father has come to pick you up and take you home," Feng Pingqiu's voice was gentle and kind. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was a kind father.
"Master, should we go out? This Prime Minister Feng must have some bad intentions, right?" the Gold - Devouring Beast asked.
"He's here probably because of that man last night. As for the bad intentions you mentioned, there must be some," Feng Yuqin said. Although she didn't know how that man managed to make Feng Pingqiu come to the inn in person to invite her back to the mansion, she didn't doubt the man's words last night.
If it weren't for the fact that her mother was locked in the water dungeon and time was running out, she could have made Feng Pingqiu invite her back on her own.
However, she didn't want her father to know about her cultivation level.
"Xiaojin, do you have a way to hide my strength?" Feng Yuqin asked.
The Gold - Devouring Beast immediately took out a piece of water jade and gave it to her. "Master, this is a water jade from ancient times. You can hide your strength according to your own thoughts."
Feng Yuqin's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Xiaojin."
"Aqin, I know you're in there. I'll wait outside until you're willing to go back to the mansion with me," Feng Pingqiu's tone carried a hint of disappointment.
Feng Yuqin put away the water jade, her eyes falling on the door outside. A cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Gradually, the voices of discussion rose outside.
"Feng Yuqin is really too much. She's making the Prime Minister stand outside all the time."
"Yes. The news about Feng Yuqin has spread all over the place this morning."
"Spread all over? What happened outside?" Someone who didn't know the situation asked in confusion.
"Don't you know? It's such a big deal. I'm afraid the whole Xisong Kingdom knows about it by now."
"What's going on? Hurry up and tell me. I want to know."
"I heard that Feng Yuqin was attacked by assassins on the road and was rescued. When Mo Xuanye, the Fourth Prince of Dongyuan Kingdom, heard about it, he immediately rushed over. He also said that he would still marry Feng Yuqin. It's just that Feng Yuqin was frightened and needed the Prime Minister to come and pick her up and comfort her."
Feng Yuqin gradually understood what was going on from the discussion. She also realized that the man last night was actually Mo Xuanye, the original owner's marriage partner for the alliance.
Logically speaking, in her current situation, she should be sent to Dongyuan Kingdom to continue the alliance marriage.
Otherwise, in the eyes of everyone, she would be a woman with a ruined reputation, and no family would marry a woman with such a bad reputation.
As for her, she didn't care about her reputation at all.
She originally planned that after rescuing her mother, she would go out for training to improve her strength.
She wasn't sure if she would come back in the future, so she didn't even bother to care about her reputation.
But now, because of Mo Xuanye's appearance, everything had become easier.
Who made Dongyuan Kingdom so powerful?
Why was Dongyuan Kingdom so powerful?
It was because of Mo Xuanye.
Mo Xuanye was the God of War of Dongyuan Kingdom.
He became famous in a battle when he was just a few years old, and no other country dared to invade.
Now, this God of War Prince had come in person and said that she was frightened and the marriage alliance should be postponed.
At the same time, he also let everyone know that he had come to Xisong Kingdom to support her.
Feng Yuqin didn't understand what he meant by doing this.
And at this moment, Feng Yuqin didn't want to think about Mo Xuanye either.
Anyway, she thought that after repaying the favor, they would have no more contact. There was no need for her to waste her energy on someone she would have no connection with.
Her mind was now focused on her mother. Now that Feng Pingqiu had come, it meant that her mother was no longer in the water dungeon.
"Sister, father is an elder. If you're unhappy about something, just come at me. I'm father's daughter, and I'm willing to bear all this for him," Feng Qing's delicate and weak voice suddenly sounded outside, with a suppressed sob in her voice.
Feng Yuqin narrowed her eyes slightly. What a perfect combination of a green - tea bitch and a white lotus!
"Really? Are you sure you want to bear all this for father? Including the mastermind behind those assassins?" As Feng Yuqin's voice sounded, the door of the inn opened. Her cold eyes fell faintly on Feng Pingqiu and Feng Qing.
They didn't expect Feng Yuqin to mention the mastermind behind the assassins. Their hearts skipped a beat, and a flash of panic crossed Feng Qing's eyes.
