"Forget it." Qiao Xueying pouted, taking it as him being stubborn and not bothering to pay him any more attention.
The two reached the edge of the magic circle, and Zuan stretched out his hand: "Give me your hand."
"What are you doing?" Qiao Xueying wondered, but she still subconsciously reached out her hand.
The next second, her hand was grasped by the other person. Feeling the other person's hot and hard hand, Qiao Xueying's eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to lash out, she heard the other person say, "I just heard Mi Li say that after triggering the seal, we might be sent to a new space. Let's stay together so that we don't end up being teleported to different places."
He wasn't sure what the teleportation mechanism was. In his previous life, he had played so many games where teleportation was sometimes random. If the new space was huge and the two of them were teleported to different locations, it would be troublesome.
"You really didn't mean to take advantage of me?" Qiao Xueying looked at the two of them holding hands with suspicion. She was not used to such close contact with a man, let alone this guy.
"I deliberately took advantage of you?" Zuan scoffed. "My wife is the most beautiful woman in Brightmoon City. Why would I be interested in a flat-chested, flat-bottomed guy like you?"
"Who are you calling a washboard!" Qiao Xueying gritted her teeth. She had managed to change her opinion of this guy before, but now he was still the same old him, utterly detestable!
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +468!
She couldn't help but look down at her chest. Her breasts weren't particularly big, but they weren't too small either. Besides, wasn't my butt perky enough? Are you blind?
Just as she was about to lash out, Zu'an had already pulled her to the center of the magic circle. A strange light flashed, and the two of them felt a moment of weightlessness.
When the two came to their senses, they found themselves surrounded by light. They were no longer in the dark environment of the underground palace, but outside a magnificent city. Before them stood towering city walls and palace gates, and a sense of ancient and desolate majesty washed over them.
"Wow, how can it be so big!" Zuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Qiao Xueying blushed, thinking to herself that he really was a lecherous man, always staring at other people's chests.
Wait a minute, how come there's a busty beauty inside this seal?
She hurriedly looked up, but apart from Zu An, there was no one else in her sight, let alone any woman.
Noticing that he was looking up at the sky, Qiao Xueying subconsciously followed his gaze and froze.
Because there were 12 golden bronze figures sitting in front of the city gate. These bronze figures were enormous, standing 30 feet tall and with legs 6 feet long. Just sitting there gave people a strange sense of awe.
Qiao Xueying unconsciously moved closer to Zu An, feeling slightly relieved: "How exactly do we break this seal?"
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Since it's called the Seal of Man, it must be related to people. But looking around, I don't see any trace of anyone. Could it be that it will only be triggered when we enter the city?"
Qiao Xueying nodded and said, "Let's go into the city and take a look."
The city before me looks so magnificent; I can only imagine how prosperous it must be inside.
However, when the two arrived at the city gate, they found that they couldn't open it no matter what they did.
Not to mention Qiao Xueying, even Zu An's strength is at least a thousand catties now. Logically speaking, the city gate should have been pushed open long ago, but no matter how hard the two of them tried, the city gate did not budge, and there was no response from inside when they knocked on the door.
"I'll climb over the city wall and take a look." Qiao Xueying took a few steps back, then took a running start and jumped directly onto the city gate.
Although a fifth-rank martial artist cannot fly, her jumping ability is already comparable to the light-footed skills in martial arts novels. Logically speaking, after such a long running start, she should be able to jump directly onto the city wall.
To her surprise, she was still halfway down the city wall when she landed.
She gritted her teeth, lightly touched the city wall with her toes, and leaped up again, while a vine shot out from her sleeve and looped around the battlements.
Who knew that the city wall would suddenly grow taller out of thin air, and no matter how much she jumped, she was still halfway to the top of the wall.
Left with no other choice, she jumped back to the ground: "This city wall is really a bit eerie."
Zuan also witnessed the astonishing scene just now and said in a deep voice, "Why don't we just try breaking down the city gate?"
With his and Qiao Xueying's current strength, the combined impact force would definitely be over ten thousand jin, no less than that of an ancient battering ram.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Having failed to scale the city wall, Qiao Xueying was eager to get revenge on Zu An. Her long hair grew longer and longer in the wind, and she quickly rushed towards the city gate.
Zuan had personally experienced the power of that "hair"—it was as strong as paper against the walls of the Chu family. The city gate would probably have several large holes pierced through it too.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Her long hair bumped into the city gate, making a loud bang, but the gate remained completely still.
"Huh?" Qiao Xueying stood there, somewhat questioning her life.
When she refused to believe it and was about to try again, Zu'an stopped her: "Don't try it, look behind you."
Qiao Xueying was startled and turned her head. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine. The twelve bronze figures that had been standing in two rows staring at each other turned around and looked at the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, the bronze figures that were originally sitting stood up one by one, instantly growing to be over five zhang tall, and then strode towards the two of them.
Feeling the earth tremble from their heavy footsteps, as if a massive earthquake was unfolding, Zuan swallowed hard: "Damn it, are bronze statues even human?!"

That should be all for today. I'll make up for the missed chapters later. Sorry for the inconvenience.
