'Having expectations that are too high and being too concerned with gains and losses is, in the end, a lesser path.'
Xu Chang'an's original plan was to seize the wealth and resources of the Great Demon Cyan Eagle.
However, the sudden appearance of the Peacock Princess had drastically raised his expectations.
He hadn't expected so much in the first place, and although he didn't get the Peacock Princess's Storage Bag, his gains were actually greater than he had originally imagined.
Setting everything else aside, the value of the Golden Jade Hairpin, a Quasi-Magical Treasure, was enough to make up for everything.
Unfortunately, the Golden Jade Hairpin was one of the Peacock Princess's prized treasures and was extremely conspicuous.
It was stolen goods that couldn't see the light of day and couldn't be sold for cash.
Well, at least not in Peacock Demon City.
