Arrived underground
It was pitch black here.
Bai Qianmo held up her flashlight and shone it ahead, but there was nothing there.
This place is like a space sealed by time, quiet and lifeless.
They walked forward side by side.
After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared ahead. As they approached the light, the sound of flowing water gradually became clearer.
When they stepped into the light, they found themselves at the entrance to a cave. To get out, they had to wade across the underground river in front of them.
"The river isn't deep, you can lie on my back."
Gu Jueye threw his backpack on the ground, squatted down, and patted his shoulder.
"No need, I can go by myself."
"Your shoes and clothes will get wet. It's better for one person to get wet than for two people to get wet together. Besides, it's very humid here, which is bad for a girl's health. Come up."
Bai Qianmo's heart pounded as her caring yet domineering words were spoken.
She picked up the backpack that Gu Jueye had thrown on the ground and put one hand on his back.
After carrying Bai Qianmo on his back, Gu Jueye went straight down into the river.
Although the river water reached up to her knees, the groundwater was icy cold. Gu Jueye secretly rejoiced that she hadn't been made to go into the water.
Bai Qianmo leaned on the man's back: "You look so handsome."
"You mean I wasn't handsome before?"
"In my heart, you've always been handsome."
Gu Jueye smiled and reminded, "We're about to reach the most turbulent part of the river. Stay on my back and don't move."
"good!"
Actually, Bai Qianmo wanted to say, "I'm not that weak," but when she thought about how in this man's heart she was always the one he wanted to take care of, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Well, showing vulnerability appropriately can actually help strengthen a relationship.
She comfortably pressed her face against the man's neck, feeling his warm body temperature and broad chest.
Even in this uncertain environment, she still felt incredibly at ease.
"Daze and the others are still outside the stone gate. Are they in danger?"
"It's alright, Daze will take them away safely."
Bai Qianmo's eyes widened in surprise: "Did you plan this in advance?"
Gu Jueye turned his head and glanced at the little girl.
"Otherwise, why would I agree to cooperate with Yin Heng? He saw that we were outnumbered and wanted to use the guise of cooperation to wipe us out in one fell swoop. How could I let him have his way?"
"How cunning," Bai Qianmo sighed silently.
One can imagine that Yin Heng outside the stone gate must be furious at this moment.

After carrying Bai Qianmo's soup pot across the turbulent river, Gu Jueye finally reached the other side.
Bai Qianmo jumped off his back.
He crouched down, opened Gu Jueye's travel bag, and pulled out a pair of pants.
"Fifth Brother, quickly change your clothes. The ground is too damp; it's easy to catch a leg ailment."
Gu Jueye nodded, took the pants, and glanced around.
The surroundings were completely empty, and there was nowhere suitable to change clothes.
He turned to look at the little girl in front of him.
"Would you mind if I changed here?"
Bai Qianmo was stunned for a moment, then joked, "Why would I mind watching a handsome man striptease?"
Gu Jueye smiled and began to unbuckle his belt and pull up his trouser lock.
The girl, who had been calm and composed, suddenly found her cheeks burning.
Although the two of them had a real relationship before, to Fifth Brother, that was all a hundred years ago.
For her, that cohabitation period was something she only heard about from other people.
Therefore, strictly speaking, since she lost her memory, the two of them have not had any meaningful intimate actions.
"You...you switch first, I'll go check the situation up ahead." The girl, carrying her travel bag, turned and walked quickly forward.
"Don't go too far." Gu Jueye knew she was shy, so he didn't stop her.
"Okay!" Bai Qianmo replied and walked towards the light.
Gu Jueye was worried, so he quickly changed his pants, packed his travel bag, and followed her.
Finally, she arrived at the place with light. It was a cave that was more than a meter high. She had to bend over to go in.
Just as she was about to walk inside, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her.
Smelling the familiar scent, Bai Qianmo turned around and looked at him.
Have you been here before?
Gu Jueye shook his head: "I don't know."
have no idea?
Bai Qianmo was puzzled.
"Didn't you recall the memories of King Qi?"
I did recall many things about King Qi, but these memories were fragmented, and there were some things I just couldn't remember. Actually, my last memory of this tomb was vaguely that there was a hidden door on the other side of the coffin that led to the underworld, but I couldn't remember exactly where it led.
"We'll find out if we go in together." Bai Qianmo turned to leave.
Gu Jueye pulled her in front of him.
"I'll walk in front, you follow me."
Bai Qianmo felt protected from all sides and nodded with a smile.
She held his hand tightly and followed behind him.
The two bent down and crawled into the cave, which was very narrow, and the light seemed to be hundreds of meters away from them.
As we walked along, gusts of cold wind blew out of the cave.
"There's wind? Does that mean the exit is likely on the other side?"
Gu Jueye analyzed, "There should be a connection to the ground, but we are currently hundreds of meters underground, so even if there is an exit, it is still far away from us."
