The next morning.

Lin Yue returned to Beiyuan Village and had just handed over the White-striped Silver Fox to Landlord Zhao. According to their agreement, Zhao was supposed to give him eight hundred big money, but perhaps because Lin Yue was too quick, Zhao took a liking to him and actually gave him an extra hundred.

Perhaps, this was Beiyuan Mountain's favoritism for the first-day genius?

Including the money he had earned from robbing bandits and gathering herbs in the previous days, he now had a total of fourteen hundred big money on him.

Adding onto this, the eight thousand nine hundred big money from the Seventh Princess, his wealth had now surpassed ten thousand big money.

"Young hero, if you find another White-striped Silver Fox, just come to me. The price remains the same."

After the money and goods changed hands, Landlord Zhao happily escorted Lin Yue out of the Zhao residence.

After Lin Yue exited the Zhao residence, he jiggled the heavy money bag in his hand and couldn't help but show a trace of a smile. After running around for half a year, his goal was finally within reach.

"Quick action indeed."

At this moment, a cold, deep voice suddenly came from beside him.

Lin Yue turned his head and saw an ascetic with dark skin and wearing a tattered monk's robe, standing not far away, looking emotionlessly at him.

"Yes, you weren't late," Lin Yue provocatively smiled and shook his money bag again, "Thanks to you, a White-striped Silver Fox sold for nine hundred big money."

"Nine hundred big money?"

The ascetic gravely said, "Do you know how long it takes for a White-striped Silver Fox to appear in the entirety of Beiyuan Mountain? If taken out of Beiyuan, without suppression, it can be cultivated into an Exotic Beast King. Truly foolish."

"Is that so?" Lin Yue slightly raised an eyebrow and shook his money bag again, "I'm pleased."

"A frog in a well," the ascetic coldly glanced at him and turned to leave.

Lin Yue didn't bother with any meaningless threats. When he had the strength, he would simply take action and kill.

To others, the White-striped Silver Fox, which could be cultivated into an Exotic Beast King rivaling a Great Cultivator, might be precious.

But for him, it was merely a potential addition of a Great Cultivator level combat power to his household. Moreover, it was an exotic beast, which would require taming and time to cultivate, so it wasn't that important.

Immediately, he took the money bag and went to find the Seventh Princess.

...

"You made over a thousand big money so quickly?"

The Seventh Princess looked at the money bag in Lin Yue's hands and couldn't help but say, "You've already stored ten thousand big money with me, right? I'm not a bank, how much more are you planning to save without spending?"

"Spend," Lin Yue smiled and said, "I will spend it all today."

"Spend it all today?"

The Seventh Princess was momentarily stunned, "That's ten thousand big money, you plan to spend it all in one day?"

Lin Yue didn't say much, only asked, "Is the money still safe?"

"Of course," the Seventh Princess said, "I specifically had a locksmith from Beiyuan Village make a cabinet, hidden under the bed and nailed down."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "I will come to you before nightfall, and then I will tell you a big secret."

The Seventh Princess evidently guessed the secret he intended to reveal and didn't ask further, just nodded lightly.

"This bag of money is for you too."

Lin Yue handed over the money bag to her, smiling, "Qiuhe, thank you for your help during this half year. If it were someone else, I really wouldn't be at ease."

The Seventh Princess felt his words carried a hint of ambiguity and couldn't help but cough, turning her head away and said casually, "I'm just helping you keep the money, I'm not doing much."

You're a Great Bodhisattva reincarnate, why be so shy, no wonder your name is Qiu Zhi, indeed quite naïve... Lin Yue didn't know what to say.

But indeed, he was speaking sincerely.

If he didn't know that the Seventh Princess was the reincarnation of the Suffering Relief Bodhisattva, with her identity concealed as the Holy Daughter Qiu Zhi of the Chanjua Temple, he wouldn't trust her to help with the money.

Of course, using her secret as a threat was just a last resort.

It is necessary to be cautious of others, though not to the point of harming them.

Unless absolutely necessary, there was no need to do so.

"Ha-ha, today I hurt my shoulder, so I won't be going out for the next few days."

Lin Yue, with a smile, picked up the bag of seeds next to him and said, "I can't do heavy tasks like plowing, let me help you sow."

"Still not resting with an injury?" The Seventh Princess couldn't help but look at him, "There's medicine in my house; will you apply some later?"

"Just a minor injury, not necessary," Lin Yue said nonchalantly.

The Seventh Princess didn't press further. She had already noticed how astonishingly fast Lin Yue healed.

She continued to till the soil beside him, very diligently and skilled, not minding getting dirty at all, completely unlike a princess who ranked above ten thousand people.

By the time Lin Yue had evenly spread seeds on the turned moist soil, the Seventh Princess had also loosened the field's soil.

"Qiuhe, you're really good at farming, even the seeds you pick grow better than others?" Lin Yue asked casually, "How do you manage that?"

The Seventh Princess glanced at him, and said casually, "The same reason you recover so quickly."

Lin Yue smiled and didn't continue on this topic.

It seemed that the Seventh Princess's Innate Divine Power wasn't completely suppressed, just like his Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, still retaining a faint effect.

However, he brought it up mainly because he realized she was a bit naïve and frequently got shy.

It even made the atmosphere a bit ambiguous.

So, he also wanted to remind her—he was the Seventeenth Prince.

We are siblings; let's be proper.

But this naïve girl, having lived for so many years, her mind seemed a bit slow, or perhaps she didn't really understand him, the Seventeenth Prince?
