Chapter 326: Chapter 322 Fang Xiaocao: Digging for Gold

“`

Fang Xiaocao carefully examined the dragon-shaped jade token in her hand.

She sighed to herself once again at the extravagance of the Ye Family.

The dragon-shaped jade token alone was worth a fortune.

“Tom, keep this safe for me,” she instructed.

Fang Xiaocao handed the jade token over to Tom.

Tom received the jade token, looked at it, and said with a smile, “This jade token has developed a patina, it must be an antique. It could fetch a pretty penny if sold.”

Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao nodded in agreement, “That’s right, but this thing could be exchanged for a billion. Who would ignore a billion to sell the jade token instead?”

Tom laughed but said nothing.

Fang Xiaocao’s point made sense.

No matter if it was an antique, selling it wouldn’t bring in more than a billion.

Anyone who sold it would be a fool.

Tom, holding the jade token, went to the vault.

He took a small safe with a passcode.

He placed the dragon-shaped jade token inside it.

He scrambled the safe’s passcode and put it back into the vault; then he locked the vault’s door again.

Fang Xiaocao held the yellowed ancient book in her hands.

The text on the ancient book was all in traditional characters.

Fang Xiaocao could only make out a little of it.

She flipped through a few pages and tried to translate the meaning of the traditional characters, but after a while, she gave up in frustration.

“Tom, translate the text of this book into Mandarin for me using a computer,” she directed.

Fang Xiaocao passed the ancient book to Tom.

Tom took the book and nodded, “Okay!”

Tom kept the ancient book close to him.

He would help Fang Xiaocao translate it when he found the time.

Fang Xiaocao glanced at the time.

It was already the wee hours of the morning.

Fang Xiaocao yawned, “Let’s sleep.”

“We can take care of any matters tomorrow.”

With that, Fang Xiaocao got up and headed upstairs.

“Your Highness, have a cup of warm milk,” offered Hummingbird, handing her a mug.

“Thank you!”

Fang Xiaocao took the milk and drank it down in one go.

She returned the empty cup to Hummingbird.

And with a smile, she expressed her thanks.

Hummingbird responded with a slight smile.

Fang Xiaocao returned to her bedroom, took a wonderful hot shower, and then dove into the soft, large bed, slipping into dreamland.

…

The next morning, Fang Xiaocao woke up from her sleep.

“Ahh~”

She stretched and sat up in bed, looking at the sunlight filtering through the gap in the curtains. She exhaled and climbed out of bed.

Rustle—

Fang Xiaocao drew back the curtains.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the glass.

She squinted reflexively.

Fang Xiaocao felt that ever since Hot Noodles appeared, she hadn’t had such a comfortable moment in a long time.

It had been a while since she had basked in the sun.

Pulling open the window, she breathed in the fresh air.

Away from the bustle of the city, there was no smell of car exhaust in the air.

After basking in the sun for a while, Fang Xiaocao took another shower, changed into a set of loose-fitting home clothes, and opened the bedroom door to come to the living room.

In the living room, both Tom and Hummingbird were present.

“Your Highness, there’s breakfast in the dining room. Would you like to eat there or in the living room?” asked Hummingbird with a smile.

“I’ll eat in the dining room,” she replied.

The breakfast prepared by Hummingbird was quite simple.

Fried eggs, bread, milk…

And pickles…

Well…

Except for the pickles, Fang Xiaocao could accept everything else.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

After a simple meal to fill up, Fang Xiaocao returned to the living room and noted that Tom was translating the secret book for her. She nodded in approval.

“`

“Hummingbird, when you call Taotie later, just tell him there’s an operation in the next couple of days and we need him to come over.”

Fang Xiaocao sat on the sofa, speaking to Hummingbird.

“Okay!”

Hummingbird nodded and responded.

“What kind of operation?”

Tom lifted his head from the computer, his voice filled with curiosity as he asked.

Fang Xiaocao smiled mysteriously, “We’re going after gold!”

Tom blinked, “You mean we’re going to rob a vault?”

Excitement tinged Tom’s voice.

Black lines immediately covered Fang Xiaocao’s face.

“Wow…”

“Surely the doings of a top assassin…”

“Such a unique train of thought!”

Fang Xiaocao silently criticized in his heart.

“It’s not robbery; it’s just digging up the gold someone else has buried.”

Fang Xiaocao felt it was necessary to clarify, otherwise there’s no telling how off-base Tom might go.

“I see!”

Tom showed a sudden look of understanding.

“So it’s tomb raiding again?”

Tom’s next sentence gave Fang Xiaocao a headache.

“No!”

“It’s treasure hunting!”

Fang Xiaocao emphasized each word.

Seeing how adamant Fang Xiaocao was, Tom nodded in disappointed agreement, “Alright.”

Fang Xiaocao felt a bit worn out.

Living with a bunch of assassins.

Would he really not be led astray?

Shaking his head in resignation, Fang Xiaocao turned and went upstairs.

He returned to his own bedroom.

Fang Xiaocao collapsed onto the big bed.

Quack, quack, quack—

Just then, Fang Xiaocao’s phone rang.

Fang Xiaocao opened his eyes, picked up the phone, and saw that it was a WeChat message.

Fang Xiaocao blinked in surprise and unlocked his phone.

It was a message from Hot Noodles.

“Weird, why is he sending a message again?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered to himself and opened WeChat.

[Hot Noodles: Don’t bother digging up that bit of gold, I’ve got a better spot where you can strike it rich. Wanna try your luck?]

Fang Xiaocao smiled upon seeing the message from Hot Noodles.

“A message about striking it rich?”

“Looks like my future self is really strapped for cash lately!”

Fang Xiaocao laughed self-deprecatingly and murmured to himself.

However…

Fang Xiaocao certainly didn’t mind having too much money.

He naturally chose to accept without hesitation.

[Fang Xiaocao: Absolutely, why wouldn’t I go!]

[Fang Xiaocao: Tell me more about this fortune-making opportunity?]

Fang Xiaocao replied with two messages in quick succession.

[Hot Noodles: I just got the information, near Flame Mountain in New Province, the Pawnshop has buried gold bricks worth eighty million as their reserve. They buried it ten years ago in your timeline, and it was only dug up in my timeline.]

Seeing the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up—eighty million worth of gold bricks?

Isn’t that just an enormous windfall!

Having already clashed with the Pawnshop in the ancient tomb, they were now enemies.

Gold buried by an enemy was fair game.

Digging it up would also be a way to indirectly weaken them.

[Fang Xiaocao: Address, map, location, how many guards does the Pawnshop have? Quick, quick, quick, send it all, we’re going to start digging right away!]

Fang Xiaocao felt excited.

Fang Xiaocao felt he had been corrupted by Tom and the others—just the thought of an adventure stirred up excitement in him, and he was filled with anticipation.

[Hot Noodles: Knew you’d go, everything’s been prepared for you already.]

Along with this WeChat message, Hot Noodles also sent over a folder.

[Fang Xiaocao: Only the future me truly understands me, I’ll have a look now.]

After replying to Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao eagerly opened the folder…
