Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Familiar Schemes

He saw the corpse that was lying behind suddenly swell up at the belly, then burst open, and a vine shot out, growing rapidly.

They quickly absorbed the nutrients from the corpse, and then grew rapidly larger, the person gradually withering away until they were completely drained.

Seeing this, the Reception Master fell to the ground with weak knees, unable to bear it any longer, he crawled to Bai Junjun and hugged her thigh tightly.

"Miss, I beg you, please spare me, I will definitely cooperate, I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Bai Junjun looked down at the genuine fear in the Reception Master’s eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

"I appreciate people like you, those who know the times are wise, abandon the dark and turn to the light, and cut losses in time, what a boundless future you have."

"Miss is right, from now on I will surely follow your lead, if you tell me to go east, I wouldn’t dare to go west."

Far away in Dai County, Black Eight had no idea that more than a month later, another unfortunate soul would ingest these miraculous seeds, and that their power would be even greater than before.

If they had known, they would surely have felt deeply comforted.

At least, now others in this world knew of their terror.

They were not alone.

...

Returning to Bai Junjun, as she watched the Reception Monk promptly submit, she lightly curved her red lips and said.

"Cut the chatter, take me to where the silver coins are hidden in the guest hall."

"Yes, yes."

The man stood up without hesitation and hurriedly led Bai Junjun inside.

Fahua Temple’s guest hall had a small accounting room where earnings were usually kept.

But ever since it became a Royal Monastery, outside worshippers were not allowed to enter and thus no income was gained.

However, the Royal Family allocated a sum of silver coins each year to maintain the normal operations of Fahua Temple, which the chief monks would distribute after reaching the temple, with a considerable amount given to the guest hall.

If it were not for today’s chaos at the temple and the major blow to their ranks, he wouldn’t have entertained the thought of fleeing with the money.

Who would have known that before he could escape, he would meet his fate at the hands of Bai Junjun.

Now he could only lead Bai Junjun to the guest hall’s accounting room.

Previously, the Reception Monk had sworn that there was a lot of money here.

Bai Junjun thought it would be like Gold Mountain or Silver Mountain.

But it turned out that the Reception Master had taken away the bulk of it, leaving only some Silver Pieces behind, plenty in quantity, but definitely less than what was in his own bundle.

The Reception Master laughed awkwardly and silently presented the hurriedly gathered silver ingot to Bai Junjun, "Please accept this, Miss."

Bai Junjun took it and then asked, "Surely this isn’t all the income here, right? The Royal Family has given so much money over the past two years, where are all the incense-money donations from before?"

"..." Reception Master.

Little did they expect, while Li Wenli was busily struggling with the rebels in the Scripture Pavilion, Bai Junjun had already started looting homes and robbing people.

Bai Junjun made this man lead the way to the main treasury. What could the Reception Master do?

His life was in her hands, so he could only obey dutifully.

Once the Reception Master cooperatively walked outside, Bai Junjun waved her hand and transferred all the Silver Pieces from the small accounting room into her Space.

Even if it’s just little shrimps, they’re still meat, good for Sasa to buy vegetables with, she thought contentedly.

As the Reception Master led the way forward, Bai Junjun hadn’t expected that the accounting room would also be in the Scripture Pavilion.

But at this moment, Fox was inside, so she didn’t know if the inside of the Scripture Pavilion had become a giant meat grinder like the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

If she walked in and encountered a Wind Blade, what then?

Therefore, Bai Junjun grabbed the Reception Master and stopped him from opening the door.

"?" The Reception Monk looked puzzled: "Miss... the main vault is inside the Scripture Pavilion."

"We’ll go there later, first take me to the Monks’ Quarters to have a look."

"..." Reception Master.
