Upon hearing this, the soldier seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He first laughed loudly, then his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he drew his sword from his waist, ready to attack.

"General, when will this secret chamber open...?"

Just then, a beautiful and alluring woman suddenly stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiong's waist, leaning against him and acting coquettishly.

After saying that, she hooked her long, snow-white legs up and rubbed them against Shen Xiong's body.

Upon seeing the woman approach, the soldier's expression immediately changed, and he lowered his head and retreated.

Everyone knew that although Consort Wu of the General's Mansion was not of high status, she was the most favored.

Not only is her cultivation formidable, but her actions are also incredibly bold, capable of doing all sorts of things that would make any man blush.

Unfortunately, Shen Xiong fell for this approach and loved it so much that he took it everywhere. Moreover, while he still adhered to principles on important matters, he almost indulged Shen Xiong in minor matters.

Once, a soldier had his eyes gouged out simply for glancing at her a couple of times. Shen Xiong didn't utter a word of blame; instead, he praised her for doing a good job and wouldn't allow anyone else to touch her.

From then on, all the soldiers kept their distance from this concubine, and would always retreat far away whenever she appeared.

"Cough, that should be about right."

Although Shen Xiong liked Aunt Wu's enthusiastic and unrestrained personality, he still cared about his reputation in public, so he pretended to be serious and quickly reached out to break her leg.

"How long is it going to take? I'm so tired."

Aunt Wu, however, was relentless. She changed her position and leaned against Shen Xiong, hooking her thigh up to him. "Your legs have gotten so thin from standing all this time. You can feel them if you don't believe me."

Soldiers: "..."

If you, a Heavenly Profound Realm expert, were so easily exhausted and thin, wouldn't they have become skin and bones long ago?

I didn't believe your nonsense!

However, they only dared to complain in their hearts and didn't dare to say it out loud.

This is flirting between the general and his concubine; they're used to this kind of scene.

I'm a little overfed from being fed dog food every day.

"You little devil, we're having serious business, stop causing trouble."

Seeing this, Shen Xiong had no choice but to pat Aunt Wu's bottom and whisper viciously in her ear, "Wait until we get back, and see how this general deals with you."

"Well, if you're so capable, come on over now," Aunt Wu said provocatively, her eyes gleaming with desire.

Soldiers: "..."

This Aunt Wu is incredibly bold.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just then, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground, and then the red light membrane that had been covering the half-hidden building completely disappeared.

A massive architectural complex was revealed to everyone in an instant.

The first thing that catches the eye is a towering, imposing archway. Each pillar is entwined with a huge snake, its head extending all the way to the archway before looking down as if spying on everyone who enters the secret chamber.

The scales on the snake's body are carved with exquisite detail, and the fangs seem to radiate a green glow as if coated with venom. It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, lifelike and exquisite.

The only drawback is that the eyes of those two snakes are empty; they don't have eyeballs!

But this very design sends chills down one's spine, as if those two eyes are terrifying black holes that can suck in one's soul.

"Walk!"

Upon seeing the secret palace emerge, Shen Xiong's expression also turned serious.

He looked up respectfully at the archway, then pulled the little girl and Aunt Wu together onto the horse and rode towards the tallest building in the middle.
