"Let's go." Nangong Ziyan took a deep breath and got up from the ground. Who was she doing all this to end up like this? Nangong Ziyan didn't even bother to look at the culprit.
The cave entrance looked large from the outside, but the inside was even larger. Despite Dongfang Yifei's height, the cave was half a head taller than him. Nangong Ziyan couldn't help but marvel at the amazing power of nature.
"I never expected there to be such a hidden world inside." Nangong Ziyan was more and more surprised as she walked in. There were signs that someone had lived here. She glanced at Dongfang Yifei beside her and said, "Yifei, maybe we'll stumble upon an unexpected treasure."
"An unexpected gain?" Dongfang Yifei looked at her, puzzled. What unexpected gain could there be here? "You're really optimistic. Don't you feel the poisonous barrier spreading around us?"
"Of course! Didn't you say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune? Maybe this place is where a reclusive master once lived, with some unparalleled martial arts manuals or treasures—who knows... As for the poison, you don't need to worry about it at all. With me, a pharmacist who survived a heavenly tribulation, here, you won't die." Nangong Ziyan's imagination had been fully aroused. It's no wonder; that's how it's described in Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels, and she's a huge fan of Jin Yong's works.
Dongfang Yifei couldn't help but shake his head. This woman's adaptability was truly remarkable: "There might be demons or monsters in here..."
"Demons and monsters?" Nangong Ziyan looked at Dongfang Yifei with amusement. "If there really were demons and monsters, they would have been scared away by me long ago. Don't worry! With me here, they wouldn't dare to come out and cause trouble."
Nangong Ziyan patted Dongfang Yifei on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Falling off a cliff is bad enough, but finding something valuable makes all the bad luck worthwhile." Nangong Ziyan chuckled. Because it was too dark, she had to light a tinderbox.
As the light brightened, the interior became more spacious. The living necessities inside were very simple, with only one or two teacups and bowls visible. It seemed like there was only one place to live, but the cups were covered in dust, indicating that no one had lived there for many years.
Nangong Ziyan looked a little disappointed. Could there really be a reclusive master living in such a cave...?
"Yan'er, do you think there might be any unexpected treasures in such a simple cave?" The later it got, the wider the smile on Dongfang Yifei's face became. She was so happy just now because she came to search for treasure, but what treasures could there be in such a place?
"Hmm! Disappointment outweighs hope. There's no treasure here, but I'm already hungry." Nangong Ziyan was somewhat discouraged and didn't want to go any further.
"Let's solve our food problem first before we go treasure hunting! Don't forget, I'm injured right now." Dongfang Yifei deliberately put on a long face and shouted, but he really was a little hungry.
"Okay, I'll make you something to eat." Nangong Ziyan put her hands on her hips, still unwilling to give up, and looked around with the tinderbox. This cave was really big; she couldn't see the end at all.
"Yifei, didn't you notice the air convection in here?"
Nangong Ziyan felt that they were already very deep in the cave, but she did not feel any difficulty breathing or any discomfort in her body, and there was a wind blowing towards her from the opposite side.
"Now that you mention it, I do have a feeling. Could the exit be this cave?" Dongfang Yifei suddenly became interested and hurried towards Nangong Ziyan.
"Yifei, seeing how fast you're moving, your wound shouldn't hurt too much anymore!"
Nangong Ziyan trembled as she glanced sideways at Dongfang Yifei. She was certain that he had been faking it.
"Who said that? I was so happy to find the exit that I forgot for a moment." Dongfang Yifei immediately put on a pained expression again.
