Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

Chapter 44 Old Deng, he's got a gold coin stash!

The Rain Clan members were all greatly alarmed.

The clan elder had just displayed his divine power, using his lightning-summoning technique to utterly defeat that petty thief. How could the situation have suddenly reversed, and he had suffered a severe blow?

The territory quickly descended into chaos, and no one pursued her anymore.

Shi Zhao had originally thought that if anyone foolishly chased after him, he wouldn't mind going on a killing spree, but to his surprise, there wasn't a single pursuer, which made him inexplicably disappointed.

"The cold arrows have turned into warm treasures; this was a worthwhile investment." Without lingering, she returned to her second ancestral land overnight, not forgetting to investigate her gains along the way.

Inside the gleaming white bone box, the most eye-catching items were several cubic meters of black gold ore that had already undergone preliminary refining, making them far more valuable than the original ore.

This is a precious material for forging weapons, and also a rare metal that can counter magic arrays. It is very rare, and the fact that so much has been collected must be the result of the black gold mine's accumulation over many years.

"No wonder an old guy at the Inscription Realm appeared." Shi Zhao immediately understood.

She had expected that there would only be some cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm here, since who would guard the mining area once they reached the Inscription Realm?

Now it seems most likely they came to escort this batch of black gold.

Fortunately, the old guy who came was only at the initial stage of the Inscription Realm. He was clearly the kind of person who had accumulated experience for most of his life before finally breaking through by chance. Although his realm was high, his combat strength was quite ordinary.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to leave.

The Great Roc Bow truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure of the Venerable level. Unfortunately, by the time it reached her, only three Roc Feather Arrows remained, which were lost and destroyed during the struggle for the mountain treasure.

The arrow that was just shot was forged from the arm bone of the demon ape.

She also asked the Willow God to refine the bull horns of the Fire Bull Demon and the pair of dragon horns of the Old Suanni that she had picked up into arrows.

Although it's still quite a bit short, it's barely enough.

If she had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, that arrow just now wouldn't have been as simple as blasting half of her body apart.

"Kind as I am, I will only injure, not kill." She rolled her eyes, changed her perspective on the problem, and instantly felt much better.

After returning to the second ancestral land, Shi Zhao summoned Aman and Qingfeng, and took out several rare birds and beasts from his storage bag, which he then cleaned and slaughtered on the spot.

Before long, the aroma filled the air, and rare birds and animals, fried, stewed, or deep-fried, were served on the table.

"It's been so long since I've had a meal like this. It's a pity there's no good wine. What a shame!" the old man remarked.

Having been imprisoned here for half his life, these past few days have been the days when he has smiled the most.

"It's my fault for not thinking of that. Don't worry, Third Master, I'll definitely find some good wine for you in a few days." Shi Zhao slapped his forehead and then said with a grin.

The old man's cloudy eyes lingered on her for a long time before he slowly said, "No need, it's good that you meant well. Alcohol isn't pleasant to drink, so don't try it in the future."

"It seems you already know." Shi Zhao suppressed his smile and sighed softly.

"Hmph, little girl, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do you think I can't see what you've done?" the old man said, feigning anger.

Aman and Qingfeng shrank back, having already been tricked into revealing the Rain Clan's attack.

"So you know what I'm going to do?" Shi Zhao asked, blinking.

The old man was taken aback. He could guess that the girl had gone to take revenge overnight, but what did she mean by asking that question?

"So you didn't know either." Shi Zhao smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Aman Qingfeng, take Grandfather with you, let's go to the capital!"

"Kid, don't be silly..." The old man was dumbfounded. What was this? Was it a prison break?

"It's alright, the Stone Emperor won't blame me," Shi Zhao said confidently.

Whether the old man was willing or not, it was no longer up to him. He was too old, his spirit was exhausted, and he had lost all his cultivation. He couldn't struggle at all.

The group soon left Western Xinjiang.

Not long after they left, members of the Rain Clan arrived in a menacing manner.

The looting of the Black Gold Mine and the serious injury of an elder were utterly humiliating and had already alarmed the entire Rain Clan.

Many Rain Clan members were filled with righteous indignation, and even the Rain King intervened. Naturally, they mobilized their forces to conduct a large-scale investigation in the Western Frontier.

This investigation revealed that Yu Meng had brought people to the ancestral land of Shi Guo and then mysteriously disappeared.

The two events happened almost on the same day, so it's hard to say there was no connection between them.

But all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Shi Zhao and the others. They have already left the Western Frontier and arrived in the capital as quickly as possible.

To be precise, Shi Zhao was traveling alone, while she put everyone else into the silver cauldron and started a frantic journey.

Unless a true king or noble personally pursues them, no one can catch them.

Furthermore, she used several runes from the original true explanation to not only change her appearance and figure, but also to obliterate her own aura in order to avoid being tracked and detected.

"The capital, I'm back."

Shi Zhao gazed at the colossal city before him, staring silently for a moment before continuing on his way.

She was somewhat surprised that she had returned so soon. When she left, she had planned to return in a few more years, when she was stronger.

Unexpectedly, it happened ahead of schedule.

The capital city was naturally magnificent, built from piece after piece of jasper. The magnificent city walls were like a mountain range, and the tall city towers were incredibly grand, standing there with an imposing presence.

It's called a city, but in reality, it's no different from a large area of ​​land surrounded by mountains. It's too big to accommodate a large population.

Shi Zhao did not reveal his true face, but quietly blended into the crowd.

Many people were coming and going from the capital. Carts pulled by various wild beasts sped by. Some came from the mansions of princes and nobles, while others were merchants from all over the country traveling in a hurry.

The city was densely populated, with too many people coming and going every day, so it was impossible for the guards to check each one individually.

In fact, there is a precious mirror hanging above the city gate that can discern the strength of those coming and going; only the strongest are given due attention.

Shi Zhao easily slipped into the city, after all, she was only a minor cultivator at the Cave Heaven Realm and did not possess the power to destroy the world.

The main character is weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Oh, child, you've really caused me so much suffering," the third grandfather sighed.

That's what he said, but his aged gaze kept sweeping over everything in the capital. It was still so prosperous, with a constant flow of traffic and endless noise coming towards him.

The old man's eyes gradually welled up with tears, his body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he didn't say another word.

The rights and wrongs of the past are meaningless now.

"Miss, are we going back to the Wu King's Mansion?" Aman asked.

"No, I'll go to the palace first. I need to find Shi Huangbao... cough cough, I need His Majesty the Human Emperor's help. I had this in mind when I came down from the mountain." Shi Zhao almost let slip.

Who told the Stone Emperor to inexplicably bestow titles upon him in the first place?

Now that I've encountered a small problem, I'm sure he'll do his best to help me... right?
