3318 Wishful Thinking

"Hey, Fifth Sister-in-law, how about I join in?" Mu Dongni's eyes sparkled as she looked at Madam Hua, ingratiatingly smiling at her. "Fifth Sister-in-law, please just agree."

She happily thought that if her spirit coins could increase endlessly, then supporting her beloved would be no problem at all. She wouldn't have to beg for money from the old master anymore.

Madam Hua glanced at her, shaking her head. "That won't do."

"You refused to join before, and now that you see it working, you want to jump in. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Madam Hua snorted. "I took a lot of risks the first two times."

Mu Dongni plastered on a smile. "Sister-in-law, then I'll give you a commission. I have a million spirit coins here, can you help me plant them? Oh, and can a million double?"

"You don't believe me, so why are you here?" Madam Hua pushed her hand away impatiently. "I'm telling you, the maximum doubling amount for this gold-planting talisman can't exceed five million spirit coins. If I give you a million's quota, won't I have less for myself?"

"Oh, Sister-in-law, aren't we family? Just plant it for me, please, just plant it." Mu Dongni cajoled for a long time.

At one point, she offered Madam Hua a half-commission, and then she threatened to reveal the secret of Madam Hua's gold-planting talisman if she didn't help.

Madam Hua, helpless and swayed by her threats and inducements, eventually agreed.

The two of them, taking advantage of no one being around, buried their respective money in the ground. After repeated confirmation, Mu Dongni, full of hope, left, looking back every few steps.

Excellent! Tomorrow, she'd have two million spirit coins, the day after tomorrow, four million, and the day after that... hahahahaha!

She couldn't help but burst into laughter, imagining her future success.

From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about money to support her beloved, and perhaps she could even support a few more.

Who said widowed women had it hard? She would still live her life richly, harmoniously, and beautifully!

The next afternoon.

Boom!

Streaks of lightning across the sky startled everyone in Dragon Flame City.

What the heck, these past two days, lightning tribulations descending upon Dragon Flame City have been quite frequent!

Crown Prince Mo had just finished discussing matters with the Emperor. As he stepped out of the imperial study, he saw a certain area to the southeast of the imperial city shrouded in dark clouds and rolling tribulation clouds.

It really looked like someone was undergoing the Five Spirit Reincarnation Tribulation.

"Oh, the sky is clear, why is it thundering again?" The lightning from the day before yesterday was also a bit strange. It came quickly and disappeared quickly. When some people went to investigate, they didn't find anything significant, just a new pit in the suburbs...

Mo Lian glanced at the sky, then prepared to leave the palace to find his wife.

However, this round of lightning strikes, which seemed like the Five Spirit Reincarnation Tribulation, attracted the attention of many. All the idle cultivators in the city with a bit of strength rushed towards that area.

Some went to investigate, some to test the waters, each with their own ulterior motives and strange thoughts.

Qiao Mu planned to return to the Mu family today, but she had to wait for her husband's carriage to pick her up, and then they would go back together.

Before she left, Imperial Aunt had prepared a lot of delicious food for her to take in the carriage and eat on the way back.

Qiao Mu patted her little belly, which felt round. She didn't seem hungry at all.

As soon as she stepped out of the palace gates, her attention was drawn to the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Huh? These tribulation clouds today look much thicker than the ones she experienced the day before yesterday.
