The Villain wants a sect full of maidens!

Qin Cheng glanced at the fiery lotus, feeling its intense heat radiating against her skin.

Her heart trembled as she knew that refining it now would indeed strip away its valuable properties, but leaving it exposed could attract unwanted attention.

" Master Xin Rui," Qin Cheng began with her steady voice despite the difficult choice before her. " Isn't there any way to safely store this lotus without losing its flame? "

" You need a separate storage ring... To store that, " Xin Rui kept it short.

Hearing this, Qin Cheng clenched her first as she didn't understood what to do, having no other option, she sat crossed-legged to refine it.

However, just then, the dark elf came forward, " ggggee! Hihuhu! "

" Oh! It seems you are in luck... She is saying she has something that can allow you to store things, " Xin Rui translated feeling happy for Qin Cheng.

Hearing this, Qin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief while, she looked at the elf with glittering eyes.

Qin Cheng rolled her eyes and looked at Dark elf, their eyes met.

Dark elf politely took out a pouch from her breast and handed it to Qin Cheng.

Getting the Space pouch, Qin Cheng nodded her head while her lips slightly curved forming a smile.

The luck was truly on her side today.

She checked the pouch, the pouch was empty with just a of bread.

With that, Qin Cheng realized they must be hungry, especially the Dark Elf, considering that she must have fed the bread to the baby while, she, herself had an empty stomach.

Qin Cheng puts the fairy lotus inside the space pouch, while all of them silently get out from the back side of the save.

The harvest was great, 2 golems whose strengths could be said at the peak of the Golden Core realm, and 2 elves. A baby and a mother.

The baby was particularly useless, but, the mother's strength could be said; at the early to mid stage of the nascent soul realm, which is above the soul wondering realm.

Meanwhile,

Outside the cave,

The Chu family and the Han Family were still sitting and looking at each other without moving an inch.

Just then, the prince, Qin Bai Huan felt a strong sensation coursing through his body.

It felt as if he had lost something crucial, it felt like, he had lost something that belonged to him, something precious had been stolen from him.

But he couldn't figure out what it was.

He doesn't know what he has lost, but he has a strong feeling that the bodhi fruit has been taken by someone else.

He got the feeling that someone had already entered the cave and stolen the enlightened Bodhi fruit, without anyone even realizing it.

" Damn it! Someone has already reached inside! " his small voice leaked from his lips in his anger and frustration.

Needless to say, his voice was heard by everyone despite it being small.

The moment they heard it, everyone stood up and looked at the cave, which was covered by a thick waterfall that could somehow restrict their vision.

" Damn it! Let's go and have a look "

" Shit! If it has been stolen, my time here would be completely wasted"

" Who dare steal something that belongs to me, "

" Geez! I hope it is still there "

As soon as both families entered the cave, they realized there weren't any traps there.

As they continued to enter forward, they were shocked to see, the cave was completely empty.

Even the thin and dried up bodhi tree was empty.

" The Bodhi fruit has been stolen "

" Someone dare steal Bodhi fruit "

" Damn it! Who is that thief that dares steal my enlightened bodhi fruit "

" Holy! It seems someone has entered the cave when both families were in a verbal quarrel "

" look... There is a back way there, they must have left from there, let's go, we have a chance to capture them, "

The people began to murmur, while Qin Bai Huan's face dried up, the empress had told him to get the enlightened bodhi fruit anyhow but, it seemed someone stole it right under his nose and he didn't even notice.

He clenched his fist, while his eyes turned red, gritting his teeth in frustration he looked at the exit path or back way.

Swoosh!

Without wasting any more time, he rushed while trailing the footstep.

Seeing a figure who covered in a black robe, rushing to search for the thief, both families also tagged along.

As the two families, along with Prince Qin Bai Huan, pursued the suspected thief, tensions ran high.

Someone has stolen a treasure, right under their nose their pride has been greatly torn apart and stepped on.

Both family were determined to recover the stolen Bodhi fruit, their honor, and dignity were on the line.

If things were leaked out, they would be laughing matter in the eyes of the public.

As they traversed the rugged terrain, their senses intensified, scanning for any sign of the perpetrator.

They could find shallow footprints, both families followed the footprints, meanwhile, Prince Huan stopped and analyzed.

He doesn't know why but he feels like these footprints are just fake ones, he has a feeling that the person he is looking for isn't here.

However, just when he was about to turn around, he could hear some people talking about how someone was carrying strange glowing fruits.

The voice came from a small Inn.

Prince Quin gritted his teeth and rushed ahead.

He doesn't know what to do, his feelings are telling him, this isn't the correct path but despite that, he can't help but move ahead.

What was this?

It was a strange feeling as if he was being controlled by someone else, he was going to the place, where someone wanted him to go.

" Damn it! What is happening to me, I feel like, I have become a toy for someone else... " He muttered in a small voice, while he continued to tail along the strange footstep.

Soon, the footsteps ended at...

" Blood Celestial Sect! "
