Chapter 182 The Magic Pen Fails
How could a barrier appear out of thin air in ancient times when technology was backward?
Hu Xiner's face was pressed against the barrier, and she could clearly feel her skin being squeezed by something as smooth as a mirror. She pushed forward with suspicion.
Although his palms could clearly feel the object, his eyes met the woman inside without any hindrance.
Such a strange phenomenon made her spine shiver.
"What is this?" She groped the smooth "wall" and looked behind her with forced calmness.
But he saw that there was nothing behind him, and a slight sound came from the entrance of the tunnel, which was the sound of tiles being pushed back.
Taoist Yiqing actually locked her in there!
Should he try to go up now, or deal with that strange woman here and wait for an opportunity to rescue Mu Qing?
Hu Xiner was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
The entire basement was silent, with only the faint breeze that came from nowhere echoing. A chilly feeling crept up people's arms and necks, giving them goose bumps.
The woman half-raised her almond-shaped eyes, revealing undisguised coldness and malice. "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The sound came out without any obstruction.
Hu Xiner walked to the barrier again and knocked on it a few times in disbelief, but the barrier remained motionless. Instead, she herself got hurt from knocking on it.
The woman sat on a chair beside the stone bed and said in a commanding tone, "Answer me."
"I am his wife!" Hu Xiner forced herself to calm down and looked at the woman.
Although she had ordinary facial features, her skin was snow-white and her lips were as red as blood. She looked to be in her 30s.
In the flickering candlelight, her malicious and defensive gaze was like a sticky poisonous snake, making people feel instinctively afraid.
When the woman heard Hu Xiner's answer, she looked very surprised.
Hu Xiner felt puzzled. Almost everyone in the capital knew that she and Mu Qing were getting married, but how come this so-called biological mother didn't know about it?
Because Feng Ge said that women were not good people, Hu Xin'er also had hostility towards her, so she didn't want to pay attention to her. Instead, she kept patting the barrier and shouting: "Mu Qing! Can you hear me?"
But Mu Qing, who was lying on the stone bed, did not react at all.
Perhaps the anxiety and concern on her face did not seem fake, the malice in the woman's eyes faded.
The woman stood up, and her dark green dress, which was soft and smooth, immediately fell down and swayed leisurely above her feet.
A faint smile played on her lips: "He is unconscious and can't hear."
At this moment, Mu Qing on the bed groaned in pain. His face was pale, cold sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his lips were even trembling constantly. It was obvious that he was suffering great torture.
"Mu Qing!" Hu Xin'er felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She wished she could go up and bear the pain for him. That's why she felt that the woman's smile was extremely dazzling.
She looked at the woman in disbelief: "You are his mother, why don't you try to save him, but bring him to a place like this to be bullied!"
The woman looked at her reaction and found it quite amusing. She smiled faintly: "I'm not his biological mother, but you—"
She walked slowly to the barrier and asked, "Little girl, how old are you? How did you marry him?"
Hu Xin'er felt that mysteries were popping up one after another, along with Mu Qing's painful gasps, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She took a step back cautiously: "Since you don't admit that you are his biological mother, why are you asking these questions?"
The woman avoided answering and chuckled softly, "If you're curious, why not guess?"
Hu Xiner was angry.
Regardless of whether she is his biological mother or adoptive mother, judging from Mu Qing's behavior, his feelings for this woman are so deep that even if he has lost his memory, he still remembers her firmly!
But what about this woman?
Mu Qing was now lying next to her, enduring the torment of a nightmare, with a splitting headache and cold sweats.
And she actually didn't care at all, and was even in the mood to ask questions and joke with Hu Xiner.
It can be seen that he is extremely cold and selfish, and has no concern for Mu Qing at all.
The anxiety and worry she had accumulated over the past few days suddenly erupted, and her anger bubbled up from the bottom of her heart: "No matter who you are, if you can't save Mu Qing, then I will save him myself!"
She kicked the transparent barrier hard, trying to break it into pieces.
The woman frowned slightly. "Don't waste your energy. This barrier is a magical enchantment that cannot be broken by human power."
But when Hu Xiner heard Mu Qing's painful cry, she could no longer hear what the woman said. She kicked for a long time regardless, but the barrier was just as the woman said, without any change.
She couldn't help but feel despair in her heart. Is she really going to be trapped here and die today?
No, absolutely not!
She raised her head, her eyes sharp as a knife, and questioned the woman: "Why don't you dare let me get close to him?"
The woman had been standing by and watching the show from beginning to end. She smiled silently when she heard this: "Because I'm not sure who is harmful to him. He just got upset and needs to rest."
Hu Xiner became even more anxious when she heard this: "You didn't let me see him, and why did you bring me here on purpose?"
"Little girl, don't be so angry at such a young age." The woman looked at her squatting position with a hint of disdain. "As a wife, where have you learned your virtues, appearance and speech?"
"It's none of your business!" Hu Xiner slapped the barrier hard, and the loud noise scared the woman.
She laughed triumphantly, "Are you afraid of noise? I can't kick this thing to pieces, but can't I make you die of noise? When the princess brings her people in, I'll hire 100 people to film this place. Let's see which one breaks first, this thing or you!"
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously not expecting this kind of reaction.
She scolded him with a hint of anger: "According to seniority, you should also call me mother. Do you know what the consequences are for disobeying your elders?"
"Have some shame? Are you worthy of being Mu Qing's mother?" Hu Xiner spat, right in front of the woman's face.
Such rude behavior made the woman shocked and angry.
She said coldly, "It seems there's no need to waste time talking to you. From today on, Mu Qing and you will have nothing to do with each other. I advise you not to investigate this matter any further, otherwise..."
She pointed condescendingly at Hu Xin'er, who was squatting on the ground, with the tips of her bright red nail polish, as if she were looking down at a lowly ant: "You will bring disaster upon yourself!"
But Hu Xin'er wasn't afraid at all: "You're dreaming! I'll chase Mu Qing wherever he is! I won't let go even if it means the end of the world!"
The determination in her eyes is shocking.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to get to Mu Qing!
Suddenly, rays of light appeared in the void, and the extremely hard barrier was shattered!
The woman's face was filled with shock: "How could the magic pen fail?!"
