Chapter 22: Thunder-Struck Seductive Ghost

Su Xi first went to the woodshed of Xue Fu and used a fire starter to ignite the firewood inside.

The sky-high flames immediately startled the servants on night watch.

Before long, the entire Xue Fu was in an uproar.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Xi went to the Xue Family treasure vault and looted all the treasures inside, not even sparing the old, broken boxes in the corners.

Just as she was preparing to leave, Er Miao said to Su Xi: "Xue Fuyi has returned! Judging by her cultivation realm, she has already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage and will enter the Nascent Soul Stage immediately!"

"What? Her realm is that high already!" Su Xi was shocked. "Didn't we steal her Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root? She should be of ordinary grade now."

"Host, you forgot, her Dao Body can perform dual cultivation to harvest others' essence, directly taking their cultivation as her own."

"Let's go steal hers." Su Xi took an Invisibility Talisman from her Storage Bag, one personally crafted by Rong Shou.

This item was extremely useful.

She had once used it to steal spirit herbs raised by Hua Qing, right in front of his face, without being discovered. Later, after Hua Qing found out, he deducted a year's worth of her Spirit Stone allowance.

After the fire in the woodshed was extinguished, Xue Fuyi carefully inspected the surroundings, intuitively feeling that this fire was not simple.

"Zhang Guanshi, has the estate offended anyone recently?"

"The only people offended recently are the Su Family."

"Then it must be Su Xi's doing; she happens to be in Yun Du." Xue Mengying also came over and heard the words of Xue Fuyi and Zhang Guanshi.

Su Xi also happened to arrive while invisible, preparing to use 【Shadow Theft】 to steal from Xue Fuyi.

"This dead girl, she's actually right."

"Host, you may begin. The Lucky Dice has already started rolling."

"Good!" Su Xi looked at Xue Fuyi. "Luck points, give me more luck points!"

"Congratulations, Host! Successfully acquired the target's Phoenix Bone Charm Body aptitude, 5 luck points, one high-grade spirit sword, and 20 high-grade Spirit Stones. Rewarded with Reversal Points, and an additional reward of a mission Treasure Box; after completing the mission, rewards will drop randomly, including rare skills, points, and so on."

"What a huge harvest!" Su Xi said, then looked at Xue Fuyi again. "She doesn't seem to have noticed that she was stolen from."

"Within the time limit of the skill's use, which is 1 hour, the other party will not notice, unless they happen to need to use the stolen item."

"Mm, let's retreat! Today was truly an unexpected gain; I'll come back to steal from her in three days."

"Understood, Host. Currently, the Host's total Reversal Points are: 【blank】, and luck points: 6."

Su Xi put away the Invisibility Talisman and used Teleportation to leave Xue Fu.

Da Jin, who was still wandering aimlessly around Xue Fu, sensed Su Xi's aura and hurriedly ran out to follow her.

Just as he caught up to Su Xi, he saw her suddenly collapse onto the ground!

Er Miao issued a warning: "An intruder is attacking the Host's Soul."

Within Su Xi's spiritual sense, a seductive and bewitching voice immediately transmitted—"I was sleeping so well, why did I suddenly move house? However, I am very satisfied with this new home! Little sister, how about you give this shell to me?"

Su Xi felt this voice was somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, she remembered; wasn't this the seductive ghost inside Xue Fuyi? How did it get into her body?

Ugh! She seemed to have stolen Xue Fuyi's Phoenix Bone Charm Body as well; could it be that the seductive ghost was inside that thing?

"Sorry, I am also very satisfied with my own body, I'm afraid I cannot give it to you." Su Xi stood up and patted the dust off her body. At the same time, she drew out a wisp of silver Tribulation Lightning thread from within her Origin Spirit Mansion.

All things in heaven and earth fear lightning!

The seductive ghost had no time to escape before it was struck by the Tribulation Lightning thread until not even dregs remained.

The lightning thread, having struck the seductive ghost, grew slightly stronger and happily returned to Su Xi's Origin Spirit Mansion.

"The Host's Thunder Origin Power is so powerful! I don't seem to have seen it before."

"Of course you haven't seen it; this is Master's Heart Demon Tribulation lightning; you were already in hibernation at that time."

"Master is still the most powerful!"

"... Why don't you say I'm powerful? I was the one who subdued the lightning."

"Yes, the Host is the most powerful."

"That's more like it." Su Xi clapped her hands and used Teleportation to return home.

Da Jin hid in a wall corner, watching Su Xi talk to herself, then lightning flashed all over her body! Soon the lightning disappeared, and finally, she left, looking very satisfied.

He twitched his furry ears and secretly thought: Human females are truly complex; Da Miao is better! Wuwu~ I've only been separated for less than a day, and I miss him so much my demon core aches!

Su Zhai.

Su Fu lay on the bed unable to sleep, tossing and turning like a pancake.

Su Mu urged, "Go to sleep quickly; in another hour, we have to get up to get busy."

"Niu'er's mother, do you think the Emperor has taken a fancy to our Niu'er?" Su Fu asked in a low voice.

Su Mu was just about to fall asleep, but upon hearing this, she sat up with a start, her eyes dark and completely devoid of sleepiness. "Don't scare me. The Emperor's harem has been empty until now; let alone an Empress, he doesn't even have a maid to attend to him at night; they all say he is... impotent! If he took a fancy to our Xi Niu'er, wouldn't Xi Niu'er suffer a living hell? Perhaps he is coming for our Xi Niu'er's status as a disciple of the Southern Dao Sect."

"Mm, right! How could I have forgotten that. Our Niu'er has a lot of face in the Southern Dao Sect; she is the Young Sect Master." Su Fu said, becoming even more excited.

Su Mu was even more terrified. "Isn't it said that outer sect disciples are the ones who sweep the floors?"

Su Fu replied: "Not at all, the Immortal Cat Lord said it, our Niu'er is the second-in-command of the Southern Dao Sect."

"... Second-in-command?" Su Mu didn't believe it, thinking of Su Xi's flighty and lively personality; it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Su Xi saw that the lights were still on in Su Fu and Su Mu's room, so she wanted to go over to pay her respects.

Just as she reached the door, she heard their conversation.

Consequently, she returned to her own Dong Xiang Fang instead.

"Er Miao, do you think I don't look like a second-in-command?"

"Don't mention it, Host, you really don't look like one!"

"..."

The next morning, the sky was clear and bright, and colorful magpies landed on the branches of the osmanthus tree, chirping melodiously.

Su Xi worried that Su Fu and Su Mu hadn't rested well last night, so she offered the two elders two cups of spirit herb tea.

Seeing the dark circles under the two elders' eyes disappear, they looked refreshed and full of energy.

"Xi-niuer, this tea is excellent," Su Fu praised.

Su Xi immediately took two Storage Bags from her sleeve pocket, "I was so happy yesterday that I forgot to give you your gifts. These are Storage Bags; put a drop of blood on them, and only you can use them. You can take things in and out of them using only your thoughts. The spirit herb tea is something I learned to make myself from Master; there is some in every Storage Bag, along with some spirit pills to nourish your bodies."

"This is a treasure of the immortals!" Su Fu handed Su Mu a Storage Bag embroidered with osmanthus flowers.

Su Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, my good daughter."

"Mother, please don't thank me, it diminishes my filial duty," Su Xi said with a playful smile.

"Alright. Mother will make good use of it."

Su Xi nodded, "I'll give one to my younger brother and sister-in-law later, Mother, what do you think?"

"That couldn't be better," Su Mu readily agreed.

Su Zhangqing hurried over, panting, "Father, Mother, Sister, there are so many people outside, so many people here to deliver gifts."

?? Good night~ Heart, mwah~
