However, Jiang Ziyi was confused as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard. "Where are we going?"
Rong Shaoxuan simply picked her up by the waist.
"Let's go to a nice place."
When Rong Shaoxuan carried Jiang Ziyi along a winding road, they arrived at a mountain stream.
Only then did Jiang Ziyi understand why he wanted to hold her. They had passed many streams along the way, and he must have been afraid that her clothes would get wet.
Thinking of this, she tightened her arms around Rong Shaoxuan's neck.
Rong Shaoxuan felt that she was holding him tighter, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When he crossed the stream and came to the foot of a mountain, Rong Shaoxuan let Jiang Ziyi down.
Rong Shaoxuan said to her softly, "Wait here for me."
Just watched him walk forward, then put his hands on a big rock and started pushing the rock hard.
As he exerted force, the boulder slowly moved to the side.
Gradually, you can see that there is a long passage behind the huge rock.
It’s just that Rong Shaoxuan was a little exhausted at the moment, so he stopped.
He usually came here with his subordinates, but this was the first time he pushed the stone alone.
The system, which had been offline for a long time, finally came back online, but the first thing it said was a snarky tone: "Host, your man can't push it anymore, hurry up and help! You can push this rock away with just your little finger, don't you know?"
Jiang Ziyi rolled her eyes at the system in her mind: [If he knew I was stronger than him, how would he look at me in the future!]
System: [Oh, yeah, sorry, I was being reckless.]
Although she said this, seeing Rong Shaoxuan preparing to push the boulder again, Jiang Ziyi stepped forward and said, "Shaoxuan, let me help you."
Then Jiang Ziyi placed her hands on the boulder, pretending to be very strong, almost leaning her entire body on it.
However, she was just pretending and only used a little effort in secret.
Even so, Rong Shaoxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this stone was much easier to push.
The two worked together to move the boulder away, and the entire passage appeared before their eyes.
It actually looked quite long. "Where does it lead to?" Jiang Ziyi asked.
"The Underworld." Rong Shaoxuan replied.
Jiang Ziyi: ???
Isn't this the country next door to them?
Is this considered smuggling?
After the two of them worked together to push the stone back, Rong Shaoxuan took out a fire starter from his arms.
Jiang Ziyi followed Rong Shaoxuan obediently. After all, Rong Shaoxuan looked familiar with the place and must have been here many times before.
Unexpectedly, the entrance of this passage looks straight, but the further you go in, the more winding it becomes.
If you don’t have the ability to recognize the way, you really can’t get out.
Jiang Ziyi was now very skeptical that this passage was dug by humans. Even if someone said it was dug by a groundhog, she would still believe it...
Rong Shaoxuan seemed to understand what she was thinking. "This mountain has many huge rocks that cannot be dug, so the road is a bit complicated. But we are almost there. As long as we avoid the border, we can walk on the ground."
Jiang Ziyi nodded.
At this moment, Jiang Ziyi suddenly felt itchy on the back of her hand.
She scolded, "Why are you scratching the back of my hand?"
Rong Shaoxuan was confused, "I don't have any."
When he held the tinder in front of Jiang Ziyi, she could see clearly that on the back of her hand was a worm...
She felt itchy because the insect's little feet were crawling around on her hands.
“Ah ...
She screamed and threw her hand out violently, accidentally hitting the wall next to her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the wall breaking.
Then, they saw that the road they came from was completely blocked by the collapsed wall...
Jiang Ziyi: ...
Rong Shaoxuan: "You..."
System: [You...]
Jiang Ziyi smiled awkwardly: "Haha, the soil here is too soft, how come it collapses with just a slight touch? Hahahaha..."
Rong Shaoxuan looked at the huge rock that had fallen and blocked the road...
It doesn't look like soil at all...
Rong Shaoxuan could only find an excuse for Jiang Ziyi in his heart. It must be that the rock layer here was aging, so a slight vibration caused the collapse.
He sighed softly. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to go back anytime soon.
If Ziyi wants to return to You Country in the future, she will have to find another way...
"We have to walk faster. If the same thing happens later, we will be buried alive here." Rong Shaoxuan took Jiang Ziyi's hand and began to walk forward quickly.
Seeing that Rong Shaoxuan no longer doubted her, Jiang Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief.
System: [Host, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of insects.]
"Once you complete a few more worlds, I'll be able to transform into a physical form. What do you think about me turning into a bug? I can even help you with your desensitization."
Jiang Ziyi: ...
"If you dare to change, I will let the world collapse." Jiang Ziyi threatened the system fiercely in her mind.
As expected, this threat was quite effective, and the system immediately calmed down: [Oh, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?]
Jiang Ziyi rolled her eyes in her heart again, wondering who the system had learned this despicable behavior from.
Finally, some natural light gradually became visible ahead.
However, there are dense weeds growing at the entrance of the cave on this side.
Rong Shaoxuan went out first and cleared the weeds before letting Jiang Ziyi come out.
When Jiang Ziyi came out, he let go and the weeds bounced back, and the cave entrance disappeared again. After looking around, "I didn't expect there would be such a place here..." Jiang Ziyi sighed.
"There are many things you can't imagine." Rong Shaoxuan said with a smile.
"Once you come out of here, you will be in the territory of the underworld."
"Taoyuan originally belongs to the border of You Country, and that cave entrance just crosses the border between the two countries."
"It's just that if you want to go back now, it will take some effort."
Jiang Ziyi waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. We were going to escape from You Country anyway."
Seeing that she was in such a good mood, Rong Shaoxuan stopped worrying about it.
He took Jiang Ziyi's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you into the city."
"Okay~"
