Chapter 329 The Basement Appears

Hu Xiner felt a little embarrassed. She had never thought that Yin Li would have such feelings towards her.

She thought for a moment and slowed down her voice: "I understand. This key was not given by you. You appeared here probably to protect me secretly, right?"

Yin Li snorted, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous. He walked over to Hu Xin'er and stared at her closely: "So when are you going to get divorced?"

Humans are not plants or trees. Hu Xiner was very touched by Yin Li's secret protection of her.

But she looked into Yin Li's eyes and said bluntly, "He and I will not divorce. I'm already pregnant with his child, and I will only be with him in this life!"

Her words were so blunt that Yin Li's face suddenly turned ugly.

Hu Xin'er whispered, "Thank you. So will you still protect me later? Actually, I can go by myself."

"What a poor way to change the subject." Yin Li complained nonchalantly, but a flicker of frustration flashed across her face.

Hu Xiner didn't know what to say and could only let Yin Li process his emotions on his own.

After a long moment, Yin Li took two steps back and raised his head proudly: "Don't think too much. This Pavilion Master didn't intentionally protect you. I was just bored and came out for a stroll, and then I ran into you!"

His excuse was so lame that Hu Xin'er didn't expose it to save face. She just smiled and said, "I know. Anyway, thank you for your kindness. You don't have to worry about my affairs anymore."

To be fair, Yin Li is a very outstanding person.

He looks very much like the white-haired fox demon in the ancient two-dimensional anime, who is good at both literature and martial arts and has an immortal physique.

Although he is a bit arrogant and asks for a beating, this is also what makes him cute.

If he was also born into a famous family, he would definitely cause a stir in the capital that is no less than that of Lu Yunjue.

But it was precisely this excellence that made Hu Xiner never think that he would fall in love with her.

In fact, even when Yin Li acted so obviously, if she was not married, she would subconsciously rule out all possibilities of ambiguity and would not believe that Yin Li actually liked her for no reason.

After all, she was a married woman when she met Yin Li!

Hu Xiner recalled what had happened before, trying to find out why Yin Li liked her, but she found that from the very beginning, Yin Li treated her differently from others.

Before meeting Hu Xiner, it was said that Wanjuan Pavilion moved frequently, but ever since Hu Xiner set foot there, Wanjuan Pavilion took root in the capital.

The one who stopped with it was the eccentric and mysterious Pavilion Master Yin.

Ever since she won the competition, Yin Li's mind has never left her, and her mind is full of how to win back a game.

"Back then, he was probably just a little interested in me, or maybe it was his competitive spirit that was taking over," Hu Xin'er thought secretly. "But since when did he stop wanting to compete with me and instead come to my place every day?"

I thought about it over and over again, but I couldn't figure it out.

Admittedly, as a face control, Hu Xiner's heart would subconsciously beat a few times when a handsome man confessed his love to her.

But even if you're obsessed with looks, you can't lose your moral integrity...

"What are you thinking about?" Yin Li asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I'm leaving, bye!" Hu Xin'er came back to her senses from her thoughts, turned around and left.

Since Yin Li had never made her feelings clear from the beginning to the end, she couldn't refuse too obviously, but her attitude was firm.

That means she and Yin Li, absolutely impossible.

Yin Li felt like she was rejected again, her face dark as the bottom of a pot. But when she saw Hu Xin'er's resolute figure walking forward regardless of anything, she grabbed her and said, "Wait!"

"Hmm?" Hu Xin'er turned around in confusion. "Is there anything else?"

Yin Li's eyes were filled with worry, but he smiled nonchalantly, "Since this Pavilion Master has come here and sees such a rare place, how can I not go in and take a look?"

After saying that, he walked out first without waiting for Hu Xiner to refuse.

Hu Xiner could only follow helplessly.

I have to say that it was indeed much more convenient with Yin Li around. He held the fan and seemed to be playing with it casually, but wherever the fan touched, the bamboo branches broke, opening up a safe path for Hu Xiner.

Hu Xin'er followed him carefully, protecting her belly.

Yin Li said without a word, "Actually, I still like children very much."

Hu Xiner was suddenly embarrassed.

This sentence undoubtedly said, "Hu Xin'er, if you give birth to the child, I am willing to take over!"

Why didn’t I realize before that this guy has such a low self-esteem?

"Am I too charming?" An idea popped up in Hu Xiner's mind, and then she quickly shook her head.

She is quite self-aware. She knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Her appearance is cute at best. She has an impulsive personality and isn't very smart. She's also a rotten girl...

Even in modern blind dates, these things are extremely common and basically no one wants them.

In short, if she didn't have the knowledge gained from time travel, she would be a very ordinary girl.

Mu Qing was so blind to fall in love with her, it could be described as fate.

But the probability of two extremely handsome men going blind at the same time is extremely small.

"Could it be that he just happens to like married women?" Hu Xin'er's thoughts couldn't help but diverge. "Or maybe he just happens to like being the scapegoat?"

Yin Li didn't hear any response from the person behind him, so he had to vent his anger with a bamboo stick.

The forest was not big. Not long after they walked, a small land temple appeared in front of them.

Yin Li circled the land temple twice and raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you're not in the wrong place?"

Hu Xiner nodded: "It should be here."

Liu Yanchuo would not lie to her, and she had asked the servants to verify that this was indeed the Liu family's forbidden area.

"But..." Yin Li frowned and squatted on the ground.

Hu Xin'er also lowered her head and looked down.

She saw that the land temple was only as low as her knees, like a miniature figurine, and only one hand could be inserted into the temple door.

"Originally, I thought that the basement might be hidden in the land temple..." Hu Xiner also became distressed.

Yin Li explained, "In mythology, the Earth God is short, so most Earth God temples are small."

Hu Xiner looked around and saw an open space covered with weeds.

She walked around the land temple with the key, completely confused.

Yin Li looked at it for a long time, then suddenly reached into the land temple and twisted something.

As he moved, there was a sudden noise from the ground, and the ground beside the temple shook slightly. An iron door panel shook off the dust and slowly opened to both sides.

"It's the basement!" Hu Xin'er was surprised and happy.
