Mo Zisang yawned, his voice languid, "The Hundred Arena Tournament is not far off. The First Prince only needs to show his face at the tournament, and I will take you into the Immortal Sect on the grounds of exceptional talent."
This was precisely the answer Baili Ye had been hoping for.
The corners of his eyes rose uncontrollably, and a wild smile spread across his face. "Thank you, Elder Mo. As for Feng Ninghe, although it's not easy to make a move against her with Immortal Xu by her side, I will do my best to help Elder Mo achieve your wish of obtaining him."
Beauties in the room danced gracefully, pleasing Mo Zisang.
This scene almost made Feng Ninghe vomit up the chicken leg she had eaten that evening.
"A lewd, greasy beast actually has designs on me?"
Feng Ninghe let out a cold laugh, her beautiful dark eyebrows flashing with icy intent.
She covered the tile, her figure transforming into a gust of wind, and she swiftly headed towards the manor's treasury.
"Today, let's see how I empty the First Prince's manor!"
By the time Old Man Xu reacted, Feng Ninghe was no longer by his side, and the chilling female voice still echoed in his ears.
Old Man Xu hurried after her, muttering, "This little girl runs so fast. Wait for me!"
Before long, they arrived at the treasury.
The treasury was heavily guarded at night, making it difficult to infiltrate and loot without a trace.
Feng Ninghe turned to look at Old Man Xu, her eyes brightening, a hint of cunning appearing in them.
She took out a brocade box and handed him a spark. "This is spiritual fire. It cannot be extinguished with water; only with spiritual energy can the flames be put out. Old Man Xu, it's up to you."
Upon hearing that the brocade box contained spiritual fire, Old Man Xu couldn't help but click his tongue.
"You're even using spiritual fire. This thing is hard to come by. After you enter the treasury, search slowly. Don't clear it all out. Wait for me."
With that, Old Man Xu's figure dispersed, and he quickly left the area.
His decision to come to the First Prince's manor was simply to get a share of the spoils.
After all, he was a prince, and his manor must contain many treasures.
Without making Feng Ninghe wait long, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, causing the servants in the manor to cry out in alarm.
"Quick, someone! Fire! Help put it out!"
"This fire is so strange, why can't it be extinguished with water?"
Before long, the guards guarding the treasury rushed to put out the fire.
Feng Ninghe's vibrant red lips curved upwards, her eyes fixed on the treasury before her.
With all the guards gone, Feng Ninghe easily stepped into the treasury.
Golden light radiated from within the treasury, with boxes of jewels, spirit stones, and various spiritual artifacts stacked high.
Xiao Zhao hopped excitedly in the treasury, its sapphire eyes scanning its surroundings.
Master, the First Prince is truly wealthy! This treasury is much larger than the Feng manor's!
As if it had discovered something important, it eagerly rushed towards a fruit emitting a red glow.
"Heartless Fruit?"
Feng Ninghe recognized the bright red fruit at a glance.
The Heartless Fruit was an excellent item for spiritual beasts to cleanse their bones and help them improve their cultivation.
No wonder Xiao Zhao was attracted to it.
After consuming this fruit, Xiao Zhao's cultivation would undoubtedly improve.
Without hesitation, Xiao Zhao opened its mouth and bit down on the Heartless Fruit. A rich fragrance filled its mouth, and its entire body visibly swelled.
It contorted its small face in pain, transforming into a ball of light and drilling into Feng Ninghe's dantian.
Master, the medicinal effect of the Heartless Fruit is too strong. I need to absorb it properly first!
Feng Ninghe did not idle. She threw whatever she saw into her spatial jade bracelet.
She disdained ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but she also didn't want to leave any items for Baili Ye, so she kept stuffing things into her spatial jade bracelet.
By the time Old Man Xu arrived, more than half of the items in the treasury were gone.
"Ninghe, you're truly fast at collecting things."
Old Man Xu was also not idle. He opened his spatial bag and lunged towards the medicinal herbs, stuffing them into his bag.
In the room.
Mo Zisang was busy enjoying the company of the beauties.
Before Baili Ye had even left the room, a servant rushed in and reported to him, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The east wing rooms have suddenly caught fire for some unknown reason."
"Fire?"
Baili Ye looked up, glancing at the half of the sky ablaze. "If there's a fire, then go put it out!"
The servant hurriedly said, "But for some reason, this fire cannot be extinguished. No matter how much water we use, it won't go out."
Baili Ye frowned, his face filled with displeasure, and he quickly strode forward. "Let's go and see what's going on."
The fire in the east wing rooms raged on.
The servants had emptied the pond of water, but they still couldn't extinguish the fire.
Looking at the raging inferno before him, Baili Ye furrowed his brows, his sharp gaze sweeping around.
When he smelled the unusual scent of herbs wafting through the air, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed with urgency, "This is spiritual fire! It cannot be extinguished with water; only spiritual energy can control the flames."
He stepped forward first, using his spiritual energy to put out the fire.
Seeing this, the other guards finally reacted and joined the firefighting efforts.
In just a moment, a fine layer of sweat had formed on Baili Ye's forehead.
Fortunately, there were many guards and servants in the manor. With their combined efforts, the fire was extinguished before long.
The fire had consumed most of the wing rooms, leaving them burnt to a crisp.
"Your Highness, let this servant wipe your sweat."
A maid handed him a handkerchief and quickly wiped the sweat from Baili Ye's forehead.
Baili Ye stared at the messy ground, his brows furrowed, and he spoke with confusion, "Spiritual fire is hard to find. Who would have such a grand gesture to use spiritual fire to burn my manor?"
He couldn't figure it out.
Then, he turned to the guards, "Investigate thoroughly who started the fire. Guard the manor and do not let any suspicious individuals escape!"
Upon receiving the order, the guards left quickly without daring to delay.
To extinguish the spiritual fire, Baili Ye had depleted a considerable amount of his spiritual energy.
He returned to his room, but before he could rest, a servant rushed in, exclaiming, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
The last thing Baili Ye wanted to hear now was those words.
He looked at the servant before him with annoyance. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything more serious than the fire that almost burned down the manor?"
The servant's legs trembled uncontrollably, and his lips quivered. "The... the treasury has been robbed!"
The simple words turned Baili Ye's face ashen in an instant. He widened his eyes in disbelief. "What did you say!"
The treasury contained many precious items, which he had painstakingly collected over the years.
Baili Ye could no longer sit still. He stood up abruptly and rushed towards the treasury.
A contingent of elite soldiers stood outside the treasury, but now they stood with dejected expressions, their heads lowered.
Seeing Baili Ye, the soldiers saluted in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Baili Ye had no time to attend to the soldiers and strode into the treasury.
When he saw the empty treasury, he was stunned into silence.
"What... what is going on?"
