Chapters 624-635 Imperial Treasury
624-625 The Emperor declares NL can't marry SL since he's already been engaged to LYY. NL demands that he break the engagement, while the Emperor rejects since it will damage the reputation of the Crown. NL sneers that if he cared about the Crown, the useless CP wouldn't have lived so long. The CP defends himself, bringing them back to the debt. Since the CP isn't wealthy enough, the Emperor, for the reputation of the imperial family, agrees to use his treasury to settle the debt instead. NL leads SL there, telling the Emperor the engagement with LYY was something he agreed to and he should be the one to sort it out.
626-627 NL tells SL not to let this opportunity go since there are many rare treasures. SL takes out the little dragon, which catches the attention of the treasury guard Nángōng Yù. The dragon tells SL there are many valuable items around.NY has been ordered to remove SL by the Emperor so NL is free to marry LYY.
628-632 NY watches through a crystal, and sneers that only a Space element or people who know how to enter can access the inner chambers, where all the real treasures lie, while everyone who tries ends up injured. SL uses her space element to enter the room and takes a dagger with the name Yán Huá. She can't use her space magic to get out, but the dragon is able to bite through the room. SL also takes a manual for the Wood Attribute and a ninth grade bomb. NY, who's watching on, is furious as even he can't access the rooms SL went to and also failed to assassinate her.
633-634 NY estimates SL's items: 9th grade spirit bomb (1,000 green crystals), Wood Element Manual (800), and NL appears, stating that the dagger is 700, with the three items satisfying the 2,500 debt. NL tells her that he doesn't need his quota and that NY overstated the prices on purpose, while SL realizes he intended for her to have the 9th grade bomb in order to protect herself.
635 The Emperor is angered that NY wasn't able to remove SL while she was in the treasury, while NY speculates SL may have the Space Element. The emperor dismisses this as SZ would've broadcasted it if it were true. He's somewhat regretful he has to kill SL, but LYX, the country’s linchpin, threatened to abandon his position if the marriage with LYY doesn't take place, leaving them vulnerable to other countries. The marriage between LYY and NL is announced to the public.
