Chapter 1841 - 1439: Looting the Star Innate Tower, Ruthless and Ferocious!

Gu Changsheng snapped out of her joy and saw her family’s evildoer in action. She hurriedly asked, "Evildoer, what are you doing? Why are you dumping all the food out?"

"Empty the bags! Tomb raiding!" Zhou Mu’s reply was as concise and powerful as ever.

When Gu Changsheng heard the term "tomb raiding," she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed!

Could she not feel embarrassed? She just came to see Ta You to check out the human skin map he had on him. But who would’ve guessed that this Star Innate Tower was actually his prepared burial tomb?

With so many shiny treasures right in front of her, she originally wasn’t interested in tomb raiding. But not taking them was impossible, and taking them—what’s the difference from tomb raiding?

So...

When it’s time to raid tombs, you should decisively raid tombs. Gu Changsheng felt absolutely no psychological pressure!

"Cough cough... My family’s evildoer really understands me!" Pretending to cough a few times, Gu Changsheng feigned seriousness and walked over to her evildoer, hurriedly helping him empty the bags, as there had to be space to store all those items, right?

"They say in every trade of three hundred sixty lines, there emerges a top scholar; today we’re pulling off such a big job that it’ll go down as a legend in the tomb raiding world! Nationwide, how many tomb pits have richer relics than Ta You’s collection? Today, we’re destined to be the top scholars of the tomb raiding world! We’re hitting it big! We’re hitting it big, don’t you agree, evildoer?" Gu Changsheng said excitedly while emptying the bags.

"Right!" Zhou Mu agreed calmly without changing his expression.

Shi Wujue, who hesitated about whether to lend a hand, was suddenly embarrassed.

This...

This Zhou’s attitude towards Gu Changsheng is really...

No matter what she says or does something unseemly, he always agrees calmly with such composure...

Shi Wujue had to admit he couldn’t compare!

Why would a proper Southern Emperor lack money?

Not lacking!

Why would a proper Crown Prince of Great Zhou lack money?

Not lacking!

These two leaning head to head, as they discussed how to arrange the items displayed on the shelves while unpacking bags, is this really okay?

"Speaking of, it’s not quite right for you to ignore being a proper Southern Emperor and Crown Prince of Great Zhou to steal a tomb raider’s livelihood, don’t you think?" After holding back for a while, Shi Wujue couldn’t help but say, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"What do you even understand!" Gu Changsheng replied, not even bothering to lift her head, "Leaving it to those tomb raiders is lining their own pockets!"

"You speak as if leaving it to you isn’t lining your own pockets!" Shi Wujue scoffed.

Tomb raiding is a disreputable activity, not even ranked among those practitioners of various trades, really degrading, something he just can’t bring himself to do!

"I never said I wouldn’t line my own pockets!" Gu Changsheng responded immediately, with righteous indignation, "My pocket is the national pocket! Don’t forget I’m the Southern Emperor! Do you know what these treasures can do? Converted into silver, they can build tens of majestic cities, establish countless official and women’s schools, build roads and bridges, accomplish so many things. I’m whimsical, not a qualified Southern Emperor. I’ve only been emperor for a short while when I dumped the position to head north. My country is still waiting for me, I’ve got many things left to do..."

Gu Changsheng spoke carelessly, but her words had an unintended impact on Shi Wujue, whose widely admired face showed some amazement.

"So, you’re accumulating wealth to develop your nation?" Shi Wujue couldn’t quite believe it.

"Haha... Can’t I make it sound a bit grand-sounding? There’s endless wealth in the world, but even with extreme extravagance, how much can be spent over a lifetime? However, as an emperor of the Southern Country, I don’t want to be notorious for eternity; I’ve got to do something to cover up my irresponsibility! Accumulating wealth is my specialty! My country may not be the strongest, but at the very least, it should be the most prosperous! Yeah, just like that!" Gu Changsheng said, nodding emphatically as if she meant it.

"So you robbed Yanmen Pass’s Pass Defending General Gadatu, taking thousands of cattle and sheep, countless war horses, and sent it all back to your army..." Shi Wujue heard this and displayed a hint of sudden realization on his face.

"No way, I did keep those delicate items!" Gu Changsheng retorted immediately, then gestured for Shi Wujue to come over, impatiently saying, "Quit dilly-dallying, you’re just trying to slack off, aren’t you? Get over here and get to work! Or else I’ll cut off your rations!"

Shi Wujue, "..."

He really didn’t know what to say to Gu Changsheng!

Under Gu Changsheng’s repeated urging, Shi Wujue had no choice but to humble himself and join the ranks of the tomb raiders!

Yuan Bao had carried over a mountain-like amount of items, using over a dozen bags, now all emptied to store the items displayed on the shelves!

The Holy Envoy Child, who Gu Changsheng had kept in a bag for days, coincidentally was freed from the bag when Gu Changsheng needed bags today...

The Holy Envoy Child, liberated from the bag, watched as Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, and Yuan Bao moved through the shelves, watching them constantly take things off the shelves and put them into bags...

The Holy Envoy Child’s expressionless face was frozen... frozen!

"Tsk tsk... it’s a good thing all those people are busy fighting tooth and nail, or else these treasures wouldn’t have just fallen into my lap!" Gu Changsheng stood beside the Holy Envoy Child, arms crossed, watching Zhou Mu and the other three work leisurely.

Enslaving people really becomes addictive!

Especially for someone as naturally lazy as Gu Changsheng, living like a contractor was simply bliss! She absolutely loves it!

To swap roles, others wouldn’t have the guts to rob items from the Star Innate Tower!

Especially since, even knowing this was the Holy Master’s prepared tomb, that these items were burial goods, she still snatches them without hesitation!

What could the Holy Envoy Child say?

The corners of his mouth twitched, and the Holy Envoy Child ultimately couldn’t find a single thing to say!

"Tsk tsk... Ta You really is loaded!"

Well, his Holy Master status is so high that he’s an extraordinary existence in all of Northern Mongolian!

"These things are really treasures!"

Of course! The offerings from outside are all the best of the best!

"They’re all mine now, lucky me!"

They weren’t supposed to end up with you, but who knew there would be someone as greedy as you among the intruders? You’re nothing but a thief!

"What do you think, if I take everything, leaving nothing, will Ta You cry his eyes out?"

Are you planning to strip even feathers from passing geese and loot the Star Innate Tower?

Ta You glared.

"Well, never mind, I’ll at least leave something for that guy Ta You!"

Thankfully, you have some conscience.

"I won’t touch those stars on top of the Star Innate Tower, I couldn’t care less about the light lit by the dead!"

Then what were you doing tiptoeing and rubbing the top of the stairs for half the day earlier?

You wanted to pluck them, but couldn’t, right?

Really!

He even praised her about having a conscience earlier!

Her conscience is totally for the dogs!

This must be the kind of ruthless character the Holy Master often talks about!

This woman is a ruthless character!

The Holy Envoy Child finally understood why villains are described as ruthless!

How poor does one have to be to even rob burial goods from a tomb?

"Tsk tsk... Kiddo, look at that piece of Town Mountain Jade, it’s great, worth quite a bit of silver!"

The Holy Envoy Child glared again, it’s bad enough you’re grave robbing, but I’m the servant boy of the tomb’s owner, is it really okay for you to show off like this in front of the owner’s people?

The Holy Envoy Child felt internally wounded, Gu Changsheng was very happy!

But soon, the Holy Envoy Child realized that what he thought was ruthless, wasn’t ruthless enough!

Because Gu Changsheng, acting as a contractor, was a bit too leisurely, mainly because Zhou Mu and the others were meticulously sweeping the bookshelves, making her directing completely unnecessary!

So, with nothing better to do, Gu Changsheng glanced down and saw around the spiral staircase, there were rows of bodies...

Then Gu Changsheng skipped over...

Touching east, touching west...

In just a few blinks of an eye, Gu Changsheng had several extra purses in her hands...

Looking at the countless purses hanging on her body, Gu Changsheng smiled with great satisfaction, "I told you, when people go out, they wouldn’t leave without money, haha..."

The Holy Envoy Child watched a certain woman jumping among the corpses, mouth twitching, those are corpses... corpses!

This woman, she doesn’t even spare the dead!

Ruthless!

Truly ruthless!

Finally, as Gu Changsheng drained all the purses and valuables off the corpses, Zhou Mu and the three others completed their task as well, with a good dozen or twenty large sacks, clinking and bulging to the brim!

"Be careful! Go carefully! Don’t damage my treasures!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but remind Yuan Bao as he moved to place the sacks on the ground.

God have mercy, the looting was too hasty, packaging was done without any skill, so from now on, their actions would have to slow down, can’t afford to damage the stuff inside these bags!

All the burial goods on the shelves were looted, and Gu Changsheng was conflicted looking at the scattered foodstuff on the floor...

Oh my god, the sacks were all used up, there’s no place for these small bags of food now!

What to do?

This is food we’re talking about!

If we throw it away, how will we manage in the future? Eat those dry and stale biscuits prepared by the Star Innate Tower?

Thinking of those hard biscuits that break your teeth and taste of rot upon a bite, Gu Changsheng shook her head, heartfelt rejection...
