As 'Wang Yingying' spoke, her hand kept stroking the pyramid beside her, the movements as gentle as if she were soothing a sleeping lover.

"I hope that you can do your best to preserve the remains inside during the dismantling process."

This request wasn't difficult for Ji Qian, but empty words always lacked any guarantee.

What is this?

Looking at the paper emitting a strange light in front of her, Wang Yingying's expression visibly worsened.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a regular contract."

Ji Qian handed a pen, which she had taken out from somewhere, to 'Wang Yingying', while continuing to persuade her:

"This is a contract between heaven and earth. If either of us goes back on our word halfway through, we will really be struck by lightning. Since you're already going to agree to it, isn't it better to have an extra layer of protection?"

Considering the language barrier between the two parties, Ji Qian thoughtfully added an English translation to the bottom of the contract when drafting it.

Wang Yingying didn't actually want to sign the contract, but she thought of Ji Qian's reckless attitude during the negotiations and the skeleton of the person inside the pyramid.

She gritted her teeth and reluctantly signed her name after "Party B".

"You have to write your real name, including your middle name and everything else, otherwise it won't work."

Ji Qian was standing next to Wang Yingying when she signed her name.

Ji Qian originally wanted to use this to confirm her true identity, but unexpectedly, 'Wang Yingying' was written in cursive script, and Ji Qian couldn't figure it out even after looking at it for a long time.

After taking back the contract, Ji Qian handed it to Earl Lanruer and whispered to him:

"Come on, it's time for us to recognize our relatives."

Count Lanruer took the contract with a bewildered look on his face, and the next second he was so shocked by the name on it that he stumbled and fell to the ground.

He looked at the 'Eastern woman' standing on the platform in disbelief and tentatively called out:

"No, Aunt Nora?!"

This 'aunt' clearly had no intention of responding to her nephew; she looked at Ji Qian with some impatience:

"How long are you going to drag this out?"

"Just a moment, wait for me to get ready."

As she spoke, Ji Qian drew a sickle from her waist and approached the pyramid.

Ji Qian originally planned to first use a sickle to pry open a crack in the pyramid, and then break it apart by hand.

But after going around in circles for a while, they couldn't find a gap, or even a crack.

Although this pyramid is enormous, its workmanship is extremely exquisite. The three sides are tightly welded together, and even after many years, it has not suffered any damage!

Seeing that Plan One could not be implemented, Ji Qian had no choice but to find another way.

She then tucked the sickle back into her waistband, bent her knees into a stable horse stance, and firmly embraced the pyramid with both hands.

Before Wang Yingying could react, she saw Ji Qian exert force with her waist, her eyes reddening and veins bulging on her forehead, and she actually uprooted the pyramid from the ground.

Because of her short stature, Ji Qian slowly let go of the pyramid after confirming that it was completely separated from the ground.

To Wang Yingying's astonishment, the pyramid returned to its original position.

Ji Qian straightened up again, with only the bulging veins on her face proving that what had just happened was not Wang Yingying's illusion.

Having witnessed the entire process, Earl Lanruer silently moved closer to the wall, feeling deeply fearful of his previous provocative behavior towards Ji Qian.

I would call Ji Qian an iron-blooded female warrior!

[Wow, this is amazing! I saw a gender-swapped version of Lu Zhishen!]

[Haha, just as Lu Zhishen uprooted a willow tree in ancient times, Ji Qian angrily uprooted a pyramid in modern times.]

Is this the kind of power humanity should possess?

"Is it alright? Isn't gold quite soft?"

[The previous question stated that gold is heavier than iron of the same volume. Could you lift this volume of iron?]

[Haha, even the greyhound has lost its nerve!]

Ji Qian paused for a while before stepping forward again.

This time she didn't squat down, but gently pushed the pyramid after determining the angle.

The pyramid then flipped over, exposing its newly torn bottom to 'Wang Yingying'.

Wang Yingying didn't expect Ji Qian to be so direct. She instinctively wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't move her feet for a long time and could only let the interior of the pyramid be fully presented in front of her.

With just one glance, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Although Ji Qian did not understand why the other party reacted so strongly, she knew that it was not appropriate to go forward and disturb them at this time.

So she stepped back to Earl Lanruer and whispered to him about Aunt Nora.

After the series of shocks he had just experienced, Count Lanruer was now completely open with Ji Qian, saving Ji Qian a lot of trouble.

Through Count Lanruer's narration, Ji Qian finally managed to piece together a woman's fragmented life.

Nora Brooke – the last female direct descendant of the Brooke family.

According to Count Lanruer, his aunt was born with a tragic fate.

The day before Nora was born, her grandmother died unexpectedly on her way to the hospital at the age of 48.

Five years later, Nora's mother also passed away suddenly from a serious illness at the age of 25.

From then on, things gradually spiraled out of control. Every three years, Nora’s closest nanny and maid would die unexpectedly for various reasons.

Among them are a series of bizarre causes of death, such as being struck by lightning, being hit by hail, or drowning.

At first, things were fine, but after this kind of accident happened two or three times in a row, many rumors about Nora began to circulate in the town at the foot of the mountain.

In those times, the reputation of a noblewoman directly affected the entire family.

First, Nora's brother, Lector Brook, was jilted by his fiancée, and then the old count's business was repeatedly thwarted, with business partners who had agreed to cooperate suddenly backing out.

In short, the Brooke family had a terrible few days in the years before Nora came of age.

Even under these circumstances, the old count still doted on his youngest daughter, and even sent many valuable gifts to the other family in order to keep his daughter's engagement.

Even years later, when Count Lanruel was born, Lector would still reminisce about his father's doting affection for his sister when he talked to his son about his childhood.

Unfortunately, this pampering could not change Nora's tragic fate.

Nora married her husband Charlie when she was 21.

In the third year of their marriage, Charlie went hunting and disappeared without a trace, and was never heard from again.

Shortly after Charlie's disappearance, Lector, who had by then become an earl, offered to take his sister home, but Nora declined.

Five years later, Nora was forced to return to Lanruer Castle after being kicked out by her husband's family.
