The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Little Taotie ordered the flames to burn the red gemstone, not bothering with it anymore, and instead went to open other Treasure Boxes.

Hua Jinyan stood by the fire, tending to the flames, preventing them from burning outside, while he tried taking apart a wooden box to throw into the fire.

The originally dark and damp, somewhat chilly basement was now warm and cozy, thanks to the burning flames.

Little Taotie once again fell into the ”joy” of opening boxes.

She really enjoyed opening Blind Boxes, spending money to open them, getting useless things that couldn’t be eaten or used, but it made her happy, and had a certain relieving effect.

But this time with the Treasure Box opening, the joy gradually faded, and she lost herself in the Blind Box activity.

Opening one or two was joyful, but opening dozens to hundreds became numbness and unhappiness.

After experiencing the ”nesting doll” phenomenon a few times, things finally normalized, and opening a big box showed all its contents at a glance.

The contents of smaller boxes or ”nesting doll” boxes were mostly gemstones and jewelry.

On the other hand, the big box was much more practical, filled with gold bars!

Little Taotie took out a gold bar, engraved with 100 grams.

Little Taotie muttered: ”This isn’t much, let’s count how many there are.”

”One, two, three, four...”

As she counted, Little Taotie got confused, sighed, and gave up.

She started calculating the price of gold per gram.

”What’s the price of gold per gram now, is it 300?”

”It’s over 400, just under 500.”

”That expensive?”

”The housing prices fell, so naturally gold prices went up.”

Little Taotie weighed the gold bar in her hand: ”If 400 a gram, 100 grams would be 40,000!”

Little Taotie looked around, a box full of gold bars, at least 50 of them by rough estimate.

”I want to hug them and take a nap,” Little Taotie said excitedly.

Hua Jinyan twitched the corners of his mouth: ”That would sure make it hard to sleep.”

”Why hard to sleep?”

”Don’t you think they’re hard?”

Little Taotie covered her mouth and laughed: ”But they’re so shiny and sparkling, I want to wrap them all on the bed, and then lie down on them.”

In Hua Jinyan’s mind, he seemed to already have the image of Little Taotie putting all the gold bars on the bed, then climbing on and lying on top of them.

”Let me check the other boxes.” Little Taotie was extremely excited, and the box of gold was like an adrenaline rush for her.

Little Taotie opened a box and peeked inside.

She prayed it would be another box of gold.

But fate was unkind, this time it wasn’t gold.

It was a box of diamonds.

Little Taotie was extremely disappointed.

Diamonds used to be very valuable, but now with the advent of artificial diamonds called moissanite, the price of diamonds plummeted. Unless they are rare, large diamonds, ordinary small ones are like broken glass, not worth much at all.

Little Taotie sighed, closing the box as if even one more look was painful.

”If only I had come here a few years earlier, before moissanite appeared, diamonds were so valuable back then.”

”The paint used in the painting should all be made from rare ore.”

”This...” Little Taotie furrowed her little brows: ”Can we scrape it off and sell it?”

Hua Jinyan laughed: ”Scraping it off can’t make money, but there’s a secret hidden here.”

”A secret?”

Hua Jinyan pointed to the last family portrait: ”There’s also a Ghost hiding.”

”A Ghost?” Little Taotie widened her eyes and looked, finally noticing something strange.

The little boy in the family portrait had a grayish face, a bit translucent, while other places were painted with pigments made from rare ore, only this little boy wasn’t.

He wasn’t painted on at all!

It seemed... like a Ghost attached itself, disguised as a member of the painting!

Little Taotie was frightened by this bold speculation.
