The Emperor's Heart is Hard to Gauge
墨書 Inktalez
She was a person from another world.
Her soul did not belong to this era.
“Murong Yi, have you lost your mind? What are you thinking about men at a time like this?”
“You're the young lady of Herb Pavilion; with your status, what kind of man can't you have?”
“Sister, when I have money, I'll find you ten or eight men so you can be a bride every day!”
Ever since Murong Xue was rescued from drowning two years ago, she seemed like a completely different person.
She no longer remained silent and reserved; instead, she became eloquent and assertive.
What was even more astonishing was her incredible talent in business.
The spirit medicines and fine wines she brewed, along with the exquisite spirit tools and fabrics she crafted, quickly became all the rage in the immortal realm.
The immortal realm was never short of nobles and wealthy individuals.
In pursuit of a bottle of fine wine or a piece of spirit equipment, they often spent millions of spirit stones without hesitation.
As a result, the three spirit medicine shops and two spirit tool shops under Murong Xue's name were bustling with business, raking in gold daily.
Thus, Herb Pavilion underwent earth-shattering changes inside and out.
The authority that once belonged to me was handed over to Second Sister.
The South Sea Dragon King visited frequently.
Rumors spread throughout the city that the Dragon King intended to marry Second Sister.
My personal maid was unjust to me.
She said that originally the Dragon King was supposed to marry me, but now Second Sister had snatched my engagement and taken my authority. It was truly outrageous.
I didn't say much; I just stared blankly at the flowering tree in the courtyard.
Two years ago, a fierce battle broke out between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm.
Herb Pavilion originally boasted one of the top Azure Scale Armies among its thirty-six islands, with all its soldiers possessing at least Earth-level cultivation.
Such an elite force, including my father and the Two Brothers, perished on the battlefield of the Demon-Celestial War.
After that day, my grandmother, overwhelmed by grief, passed away not long after.
My mother suffered from a heart ailment and had relied on the Heavenly Origin Soul Continuation Pill my father brought from the South Sea to stabilize her condition for many years.
With my father gone, my mother’s spirit was crushed, and she followed him shortly after.
In just two months, Herb Pavilion's Sky-Supporting Pillar collapsed dramatically.
It was under these circumstances that I was entrusted with the responsibility of managing Herb Pavilion in a time of crisis.
With my father gone and my mother and grandmother having passed away in succession, the once-grand Herb Pavilion fell into chaos.
It was I, still young, who upheld the facade of Herb Pavilion and took on the responsibilities of head of the family.
In the beginning, I struggled to sleep at night, racking my brain on how to keep Herb Pavilion running smoothly.
How to cut costs, how to maximize value from limited resources.
How to ensure that everyone at Herb Pavilion could live decently and securely with minimal spirit stones.
After two years of managing the family affairs, I was exhausted.
Unfortunately, with Herb Pavilion being so large, the situation of expenses exceeding income grew increasingly severe.
Whenever I thought about this, I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
When I handed over the management to Second Sister, she appeared calm and showed no signs of reluctance.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Since taking charge, I had been worried about the livelihood of Herb Pavilion every single day, hardly having a moment to relax.
Now, I could finally catch my breath and enjoy a laid-back life.
However, thinking about the future, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
The hard-earned Vast Wealth of Second Sister might end up in the hands of the Demon King.
The thought of making someone else rich was terrifying.
A servant rushed in to report that Elder Lord Zhao from the Law Hall of the Demon King's Hall had surrounded Herb Pavilion, claiming he was there to seize our assets.
They were in a hurry to find me, saying they couldn't locate Second Lady and asking what we should do.
I wasn't surprised by this turn of events.
After all, I had already experienced it once in my dreams.
