236 MARY AND HER LITTLE LAMB

As soon as Mu Lingxi opened the door to her room, an imposing black cat who was currently sitting at her bed greeted her.

"MEOW"

[Where have you been at this time of the night???]

If not because of the black tail that was languidly swishing and flicking behind him, Janus could easily pass off for the character of a granny old man who was scolding his naughty grandchild for going home late at night.

Aside from that, since this cat of hers is not something ordinary, it can also sit with its hind legs and cross two of his arms across his chess.

So imagine how imposing Janus was right now, while he was acting like a grown-up man. He was even playing with his whiskers as he eyes his master questioningly.

"I just had a casual stroll outside and had lost track of time. Why is there anything that happened here while I was away???"

"MEOW"

[None, at all. I just did not expect that you won't be here to welcome me when I arrived.]

"Welcome you???"

"MEOW"

[Yes! Welcome me... If you only knew where I have been and what I have done for you.]

"Where have you been, anyway. Have you met your friend? What is her name again?? Mary?? Is that her??"

"MEOW"

[Mary?? Who is mary??? I don't know her?! I only have one girl in my life, and that is Luna.]

"But you told me you are going to meet Mary and her little lamb???"

"MEOW"

[Ohh, yeah.. about that. Come, check this out.]

As he said that, Janus opened the bag sitting next to him and pour its entire contents on the floor.

'KACHING! KACHING! KACHING!'

As soon as Janus tipped the bag,  the sound of rolling coins resounded inside the room.

The pile of gold coins that continued to pour out from Janus bag as if it has no limit almost blinded Mu Lingxi.

The irises of her eyes almost turned into a dollar shape as she stared at the rolling gold coins before her with her mouth agape

Mu Lingxi watched as more and more gold coins come out of that small bag in Janus' paws.

Her lower jaw nearly fell to the ground from shock. As she widened her mouth so wide that it almost seemed as if she was a fish that had fallen on the shore.

It took quite some time before she managed to recover from her daze. She looked at the cute little black cat in front of her with a look that was even more shocked than she would have been if she had seen a ghost instead.

'KACHIN! KACHING KACHING!'

The sound of more gold coins brought Mu Lingxi's soul back to her body.

Janus now was casually sweeping the gold coins that littered the wooden floor of their room. He tried to pile them up together to form small mountains of gold coins.

It was only  at this time that she understands why Janus was carrying a bag with him when he left this afternoon

That bag is the same space treasure that they took out from the Mu Clans treasury vault when they decided to run away from their residence one fine night.

It was just a small bag but it was like Doraemon's pocket or Dora's bag pack. It can easily store up anything without using much space.

Using an explanation followed in Mu Lingxi's previous life, the space treasures just like the inside of this bag could be said to be four-dimensional. Functioning similarly to something like a wormhole.

Which allows any item to be inserted inside it without using much space. The inside of these space treasures looks like a limitless, floorless room.

Storage rings also work the same way just like the bag that Janus was using. Since they were both space treasures.

"Where did you plunder all of these gold coins???!!!"

Mu Lingxi was not sure how she should feel. Yes, She was delighted to see this much gold coins in front of her.

If she could get her hands to that much money, her life could be a lot easier. But at the same time, she was also scared out of her wits seeing that much money.

"MEOW"

[Where else if not in your Mu Clan's treasury??? I just got your tuition fee there. Though it is a bit late, it is better than nothing. Don't worry they won't notice it. That I guarantee you. They got more than that there. In fact, I just help hem clean some of it.]

"Clean some of it, you say??"

Mu Lingxi repeated to make sure that she did not hear it wrong.

[Exactly! Rather than abandoning precious things like them inside that vault, leaving them unattended. We better put them into good use. So with the best interest in my heart, I took some of them with me.]

After saying his piece, Janus went on putting back all the gold coins inside his bag. This time, he did not just hum the song but he really did sing it with his heart on it.

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb! Little lamb!

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb!

He even put some effort into using some musical alteration to its tune to make it sound more RNB.

"Ohh... So that is what 'Mary and her little lamb' all about.

With tons of gold coins in their possession, Mu Lingxi could at least somehow have a little breather for worrying her finances in the meantime.

But she knows base from experience how fast these gold coins will say goodbye to her once they bring it back to Magus Academia and have it exchanged into magic stones.

With an exchange rate of 5,000 gold coins into 1 magic stone in Peewee Gold Reservoir, Mu Lingxi was left wondering about how much sum they could fetch once they had all of these gold coins exchanged.

That thought consumes their night until Mu Lingxi and her cat, Janus drifter to their sleep.

On that same night, however, Yun Xue can be seen bolting to his bed as Su Yan's voice tortured him to another sleepless night.
