"No, those two idiots, I almost dismantled the entire formation, and they still couldn't find the exit. Master, what's the next step?"

Chu Mian looked at the old man and explained.

"Heh, that's interesting. What are they doing now?"

The white-haired old man wasn't angry at all; he even smiled.

"Sleeping soundly on the rocky beach."

"Then give them some Youlan, and carry them to the entrance of the White Building. If the mountain won't save you, you can only save the mountain."

The white-haired old man chuckled softly, his tone gentle and warm.

Chu Mian glanced at the white-haired old man with some surprise, replied "yes," and left the cabin.

When Wen Qiyu woke up, it was noon the next day. He had just jumped up from the ground when he saw Zhu Yanniang hugging her sword, looking at something. He subconsciously asked:

"What are you doing?"

“You’re right, there really is a white wall here, or rather, a white building. This place is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. How could there be such a place? And how did we get here? Did we just sleep on that rocky beach and turn on the switch?”

Zhu Yanniang had been looking at the building in front of her for a very long time, but she still couldn't figure out how she got here or what kind of place it was.

"Wow! There really is a white wall! I knew I wasn't seeing things."

After being reminded by Zhu Yanniang, Wen Qiyu finally saw the white building and was so happy that she danced with joy.

"What's there to be so happy about? This place is gloomy and there must be some unknown secret hidden here. We're probably just lambs to the slaughter, and you're still laughing so happily."

Seeing that Wen Qiyu still didn't know where she was, Zhu Yanniang pursed her lips, speechless.

"No, no, I feel a sense of familiarity. The thing inside is definitely very friendly to me; it might even be the golden thread snake I'm looking for. I... I'll go in first."

Wen Qiyu did indeed sense a sense of familiarity; the creature inside was undoubtedly his favorite type of snake.

"Really? I feel a sense of dread and unease, like I'm suffocating. You're not sick, are you? Also, don't go in yet. Even if you want to go in, make sure you've eaten and drunk your fill first. What if there are people inside? You won't even have the strength to fight!"

Zhu Yanniang looked at Wen Qiyu with suspicion. She did indeed feel a sense of unease and terror, and her hands trembled involuntarily. Why was this kid so excited? Could there really be a highly venomous golden thread snake inside?

"Yeah, what if someone tries to steal my snake from me? Okay, grill some meat, grill some meat for me quickly. Once I'm full, I'm planning to have a three-hundred-round battle."

Wen Qiyu found the contents of the package increasingly attractive, but Zhu Yanniang insisted on eating, which was indeed necessary, so he eagerly tried to grab the bundle that Zhu Yanniang had packed.

"You want to eat barbecue? When I asked you to prepare it, you complained about all the pains and said I was a nuisance, carrying such a bunch of wild boar meat. Oh, now you want to eat it? Dream on!"

Zhu Yanniang looked at Wen Qiyu with a dark expression, then snatched her bundle away.

"Sister! Sister Zhu, I was wrong, okay? It's just the two of us now. If there's a really venomous snake later, won't you need me to help you detoxify it? Can't we do it together? I'll go gather firewood now, how about we divide the work?"

When Wen Qiyu saw that his bundle had been snatched away, and Zhu Yanniang glared at him with disdain, he immediately put on a fawning smile and coaxed Zhu Yanniang with kind words.

"I really want to say it's not good, but your blood does seem to have some use, so hurry up and go gather firewood."

Zhu Yanniang smiled and looked Wen Qiyu up and down, then uttered a gentle sentence before roaring out another.

"Alright! Sister is right, I'll get on it right away."

Wen Qiyu was flexible and adaptable; after saying that, she ran off to gather firewood.

Soon, the two of them set up a fire and started roasting wild boar meat.

Chu Mian observed the two people from a hillside, watching them grill and eat meat, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Is the judgment truly correct? Are these two people really beneficial to the Golden Snake?

Alright, let's observe first. This has been his master's plan for many years. Once the King of Ten Thousand Gu is in power, the landscape of Miao territory will change drastically, and there will no longer be a distinction between nobles and commoners.

"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go for a walk! Let me show you what's inside!"

After tasting Zhu Yanniang's roasted meat yesterday, Wen Qiyu decided that he would never roast wild game again, because his skills were too poor and he could only make a living from it.

It's a good thing that people should pursue delicious food.

"Are you sure you want to go in now? I feel very dangerous. I'm afraid I'll die the moment I go in."

Zhu Yanniang had a hunch that she must not push open that white door in front of her, or she would see something unimaginably terrifying.

"Sister Zhu, you're not usually a timid person, so why are you scared now? What's in there that's making you tremble?"

Wen Qiyu couldn't understand why Zhu Yanniang's hands trembled after looking at that door. The creature inside seemed very kind and kept inviting him to go in. What was she afraid of?

“That’s different. My intuition tells me that I must not go through this door. If you must go in, then go in. I’m afraid that as soon as I go in, I’ll become a pile of bones.”

Zhu Yanniang's fear grew stronger and stronger; the more Wen Qiyu wanted him to go in, the less she dared to go in.

That place is definitely not a place she can set foot in.

"What are you afraid of? I think we'll be fine. You... oh well, at worst I'll give you my blood to drink, okay? My blood is very precious. After you drink it, even snakes will be friendly to you."

Seeing that Zhu Yanniang's hands were trembling and her pupils were constricted, Wen Qiyu had no choice but to cut a finger and put it to Zhu Yanniang's lips.

"what?"

Zhu Yanniang pushed his fingers away with a look of disgust.

"I'll let you drink the antidote first, so you don't get swallowed by the snakes inside. I'm sure there are snakes inside."

Wen Qiyu looked at her like she was an idiot.

"I'm not going in. If you want to go in, go in yourself. I'll wait for you outside."

Zhu Yanniang stared at the white door and took two steps back.

"Zhu Yanniang, don't forget, you were the bodyguard I hired to find the Golden Thread Snake in Miao territory. I've already helped you get into Miao territory and taken you to the person you were looking for. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

"We've come this far, and you're saying you don't want to go in? I have my limits too, don't push your luck!"

When Wen Qiyu saw her back down, she immediately became angry and launched into a barrage of questions.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I'd die if I went in, so why waste my life?"

Zhu Yanniang was a little short of breath. She knew that what she had done was not right, but if she went in, she would die. So what was the point of going in?
