Li Xiaochen resisted the urge to shake her off, trying hard not to think about how she had touched those people's feet earlier.
Finally, he couldn't resist, broke free, grabbed Lin Yuxin's wrist, and pulled her forward.
Lin Yuxin didn't care who was holding whose hand, as long as they could get in safely.
Once inside the cave, the light became dim. Taking advantage of the poor lighting, Lin Yuxin casually stored the things behind her into her spatial storage, then acted as if nothing had happened and was led away by Li Xiaochen.
The further they went in, the less light they saw.
"Your Highness, we can't see inside anymore."
"I can see it."
Li Xiaochen's indifferent voice came from ahead. He was a martial artist and had internal energy protecting him, so he could see in the dark.
However, he was still worried that Lin Yuxin would be scared because she couldn't see, so he pulled her closer to him.
Lin Yuxin also instinctively moved closer to Li Xiaochen, then, as if remembering something, she pulled Li Xiaochen closer and said:
"Wait for me, I have a plan."
After saying that, she took out a wooden stick from her spatial storage, wrapped it in a cloth, and then took out a bottle of alcohol that she had previously extracted and poured it on top.
After finishing all that work, I realized I hadn't lit the fire.
[Oh no, I prepared everything but the fire! My memory is terrible, I'm really at a loss now.]
Lin Yuxin was so anxious she was scratching her head and cheeks when suddenly a bright light shone in front of her, so bright she couldn't open her eyes. She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again and saw Li Xiaochen holding a tinderbox. She immediately exclaimed with delight.
"Wow! Your Highness, where did you get this tinderbox? It's really come in very handy."
As he spoke, he placed the homemade torch he was holding on it, and the torch instantly lit up, illuminating the entire cave.
"I just grabbed it from outside."
Li Xiaochen spoke calmly, putting the tinder away in his pocket without asking where Lin Yuxin got the torch.
He has good eyesight. Although it was pitch black just now, he could still see some things. He saw that the wooden stick in Lin Yuxin's hand appeared suddenly, and he also saw her movements just now, but he didn't make a sound.
Moreover, the bundle she carried in earlier is gone, so it seems this girl has many secrets!
Lin Yuxin didn't care where he got the tinder; now that she could see it, the treasures were the most important thing.
She said excitedly:
"Come, Your Highness, I'll take you to find the treasure."
Without even realizing it, Lin Yuxin pulled Li Xiaochen's hand and walked inside. Her interactions with Li Xiaochen were becoming more and more natural.
Li Xiaochen looked at the little hand he was holding, a slight smile playing on his lips. He tightened his grip slightly as he was pulled inside, but remained alert, constantly observing his surroundings.
[Hehe, I'm going to get rich! I'm going to become the richest woman in Xia Kingdom, dump my scumbag father with my mother, find my mother ten or eight handsome men, and I'll find myself a few good-looking men too. Then I'll be surrounded by beautiful women, wouldn't that be wonderful!]
Lin Yuxin walked in, her smile radiant, unaware that the faces behind her were as black as the bottom of a pot, and the air pressure around her seemed to drop several degrees.
Li Xiaochen's icy eyes were fixed on Lin Yuxin's back. Ha! Want to find a handsome man? She's probably not destined for that!
Lin Yuxin, who was walking in front, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
【Huh! Why do I feel a chill down my back? Did I catch a cold?】
Although the cave was a bit deep, the two of them arrived in no time. They didn't encounter anyone along the way, except for the person lying on the ground, which indicated that there were no other passages inside.
"It should be here."
Lin Yuxin pointed to a stone gate that appeared in front of her.
"I'll go first!"
Li Xiaochen pulled Lin Yuxin behind him and walked forward. The two entered the stone gate, and what came into view were chests and chests of jewelry, as well as gold and silver treasures.
Wow! We're rich!
Lin Yuxin poked her head out and saw what appeared to be gold and silver treasures. Dazzled by the golden light, she looked past Li Xiaochen at the treasures filling the cave and was overjoyed.
He went up and touched it from the left and looked at it from the right, and even picked up a gold ingot and put it in his mouth and bit it.
Yes, it's true!
Watching from the side, Li Xiaochen's lips twitched. He realized that the longer he spent with Lin Yuxin, the more abnormal he became.
After Lin Yuxin finished being happy, she started thinking about how to get these things back.
She glanced at Li Xiaochen beside her, hesitating about how to get rid of him, but given the Regent's intellect, he wouldn't be easily dismissed.
Hey! I've got it!
Lin Yuxin looked at Li Xiaochen and smiled ingratiatingly:
"Your Highness, could you wait for me outside for a little while? I'll try to find a way to bring these things back, and then we can split them 30/70?"
I've paid you, so why would I be afraid you won't listen to me?
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin but didn't move.
"Four six?"
Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Yuxin frowned, thought for a moment, and then gave in.
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin expressionlessly, but still didn't say anything.
"It's a 50/50 split, that's the best we can do. If you still don't agree, then figure it out yourself. You won't get a single cent!"
Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth and took another step back, but when she saw that Li Xiaochen still didn't say anything, she got anxious.
[Holy crap, I knew that ice-cold face was following me all this way! Turns out she just wanted to steal her treasure! I've already backed down halfway, and she still won't say anything? Do you agree or not? If not, I'll just go all out and take all the treasure, leaving you with nothing.]
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin, who was jumping up and down, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This girl was really cute when she was anxious.
He looked at Lin Yuxin and finally spoke:
