The Real Heiress Comes Down from the Mountain

Su Zaizai thought she had it rough.

Her second senior brother, who was in charge of earning money for the family, had gone into seclusion.

That left a young junior nephew who was still growing, and a master who'd entered retirement and, over the past few years, had taken to raising strange pets.

That left their Daoist sect's eldest disciple to bear all the hardship.

Luckily, there was always a way out. Her wealthy grandmother came looking for her! It turned out she was the real heiress!

What?! She was engaged to someone from childhood, but her fiance thought she was a country bumpkin and was truly in love with the fake heiress. After learning she was still alive, he offered her a million to leave him?!

"No way. You have to add at least another million." Su Zaizai raised one finger with a stern expression, naming her price. "Otherwise, we have nothing to discuss."

"Shameless!" her fiance snapped.

"Are you insulting me?" Su Zaizai blinked, her expression growing even more serious.

After staring the other person down until they began to feel a little uneasy, she slowly continued, "Then you'll have to pay another 500,000 in emotional damages."

The pets her master kept in the back hills of the sect were all carnivores, and they needed regular feeding. It was a very, very expensive business!

From the evil, malicious Ghost Cave behind the Daoist sect came a series of "adorable" howls, showing their support for their young mistress.

--Not long after--

Her second senior brother emerged from seclusion successfully and stared at the sect, where the grass had grown waist-high, falling silent.

He remembered clearly... Before entering seclusion, he'd left enough food and money to feed the entire family for a hundred years.

So where was everyone now?
