What treasure is in Chapter 5? (2/2)

The once-prosperous Ruan family, now in decline, hides an earth-shattering treasure!

After the death of the sickly youngest daughter of the Ruan family, the precious child fell into the hands of Mayor Bai, who was still unknown at the time.

It was this treasure that became Mayor Bai's reliance for rapid advancement, allowing him to rise all the way to become a big shot whose name was known throughout the port city!

Cheng Ningning did the math carefully and realized the time was tonight!

The Ruan family has vanished, and the Ruan family's daughter, who is said to have died of illness, should have breathed her last by now!

She had to find that treasure and claim it for herself before Mayor Bai's men arrived!

This is the whole reason why she crawled through the dog hole in the middle of the night.

Ruan Tang slowly withdrew her divine sense, her gaze icy and devoid of any warmth.

"baby"?

A faint, mocking smile curved her lips.

The original owner's memories were completely blank; she herself had no idea what treasures she possessed.

Ruan Tang looked at the Ruomu in her dantian, thinking, "This can't be right..."

At this moment, the little sapling that was peacefully residing in her dantian was Ruomu.

Didn't it say that it came to find me after it helped the Heavenly Dao repair the spacetime rift?

Clearly, Ruomu came with her. It shouldn't have appeared in Cheng Ningning's life, so this 'treasure' is naturally not Ruomu. Then what is it?

Just as Ruan Tang had suspected, Ruo Mu came to find Ruan Tang as soon as he finished his work, only to run into the treasure-hunting rat who had knocked Cheng Ningning unconscious.

So this ignorant treasure-hunting rat had no idea what Ruomu was. Based on its instincts, it thought it was a good thing, so it used its innate skill to trap it and presented it to Ruan Tang.

Having figured all this out, Ruan Tang looked down at Cheng Ningning lying on the ground, and the murderous intent in her eyes dissipated.

Murder to silence witnesses?

Too much trouble.

She would also get involved in unnecessary karma, and she has always hated trouble.

Ruan Tang squatted down again, her fair fingertips hovering above Cheng Ningning's brow.

A powerful divine sense probed in once more.

This time, she was like a highly skilled embroiderer, using an invisible needle to precisely find the past life memories of "Ruan Family Baby" and "Mayor Bai".

She didn't roughly wipe it away.

Instead, he slowly and methodically unravels this memory, pulverizes it, and then fills it with countless irrelevant thoughts.

From then on, it would only be a bizarre and absurd dream for Cheng Ningning, a dream from which she could no longer recall the details.

After doing all this, she slowly straightened up and gave a few instructions to the puppet granny beside her.

"Follow the route in her head, send her back, and drop her off at her doorstep."

"Yes, Miss."

The puppet grandmother responded, bent down and picked up Cheng Ningning from the ground, as if she were a weightless chick. With a few lifts, she disappeared silently into the night.

The courtyard was once again deathly silent.

Ruan Tang looked around.

The gatehouse is gone, the floor tiles are gone, the artificial hill is gone, even the window frames have been completely removed...

This veritable ruin, under the cold moonlight, exudes an indescribable desolation and absurdity.

She raised her hand and pressed it against her throbbing temples.

In the corner, the treasure-hunting rat that had caused such a terrible disaster was peeking out its furry little head from behind a pile of rubble.

Its black bean-like eyes blinked rapidly, and its tail wagged ingratiatingly, as if waiting for its owner's praise.

Ruan Tang stared at it expressionlessly for a long while.

Finally, he let out a long, heavy sigh.

That's enough.

The most urgent thing is to find a place to sleep.

As for this ruin, and that so-called 'treasure'...

We'll talk about it tomorrow. This chapter has been finished. (Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
