"Phew! We're finally out!"
Upon seeing the azure sky again, Qiao Suinian's face lit up with surprise.
The joy of finally seeing the light of day again after crawling and struggling underground for so long is indescribable.
It's like you haven't touched a woman in three years, and then suddenly a curvy, sexy Sadako crawls out of your screen in the middle of the night.
You know, ghosts and monsters aren't protected by law, so what's this all about? This is a way of thanking nature for its bounty.
"Hmm..."
Han Yueling struggled to lift her eyelids and sat up, clutching her still aching heart.
"I'm still alive? We made it out?"
Han Yueling was somewhat taken aback when she looked up at the sky. She had thought she was going to be buried underground with Qiao Suinian.
"It's all thanks to me, don't you think I'm awesome?" Qiao Suinian proudly raised her head.
"I'm not looking." Han Yueling rolled her eyes at him.
"You fucking..."
Qiao Suinian was just about to say something when his expression suddenly froze.
"Someone's coming!"
As soon as Qiao Suinian finished speaking, a large group of fully armed people surrounded the two of them. When these people saw Qiao Suinian and his companion, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Damn it! I rushed over here with my men as soon as I saw the red beam of light, and someone actually got here faster than me?"
A pockmarked man angrily grabbed Qiao Suinian by the collar.
"Kid, I'm asking you! Where did that red beam of light go?"
"Big brother... I don't know, I just got here too." Qiao Suinian blinked innocently, his eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.
"Just arrived? You piece of trash, how dare you trespass on the forbidden grounds of Kyoto? Get out!" the pockmarked man shouted angrily.
Seeing this pockmarked man humiliate her like this, Qiao Suinian's face instantly turned red, and her eyes were filled with an uncontrollable and terrifying anger.
Upon seeing this, the pockmarked man quickly took a few steps back, fearing that Qiao Suinian might suddenly attack and hurt someone.
At that moment, Qiao Suinian roared angrily.
"Fine, I'll get out!"
The roar was deafening, startling everyone present.
That's it?
The pockmarked man was stunned for a moment; he had thought this kid was quite brave.
"Let's go! We're not going to tell them there's a bottomless cave ahead! Humph!"
Qiao Suinian snorted coldly, grabbed Han Yueling, and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the pockmarked man's eyes lit up instantly!
A cave that suddenly appeared? It's probably related to the red beam of light that just shot into the sky. It's truly a stroke of luck! Thanks to that silly kid!
The pockmarked man led his men over and indeed found a cave. The cave was small, only big enough for one or two people to go down at the same time.
"Could the baby be down there?"
The pockmarked man was a little excited, but he wasn't foolish enough to risk his life. He nudged one of his underlings next to him.
"Go! Go down and see what's going on!"
"I?"
The underling was completely dumbfounded. He felt exactly the same way as Benboerba when he heard the Nine-Headed Dragon ask him to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
If I, Benboerba, had that ability, would it be your turn to be the Dragon Palace Prince Consort?
"What? You don't want to?" The pockmarked face's voice instantly turned cold.
"Yes, yes! I'm very willing!" The henchman nodded vigorously, already cursing the pockmarked man's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in his mind.
There was no other way; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Under the tyranny of the pockmarked man, the underling suppressed his fear, swallowed hard, and crawled into the cave using both hands and feet.
"Damn it, you don't treat me like a human being at all. You just wait, if there's any treasure down there, I'll keep it all for myself first. Once I become stronger than you, I'll pick all the pockmarks off your face one by one!"
The younger brother cursed inwardly as he slowly moved down.
After moving around for an unknown amount of time, the younger brother suddenly felt his hands and feet go empty and he fell down.
"Ouch!" he cried out in pain. "What the hell is that?"
Looking down, the younger brother realized that he had actually smashed into a blood-red coffin!
"Mommy!"
The sudden appearance of the coffin lid startled him so much that he jumped up and leaned against the stone wall, still shaken.
"How's it going? What's down there?" came the voice of the pockmarked man from above.
"There...there's a blood-red coffin!" The younger brother was so frightened he could barely speak.
"A blood-red coffin?"
The pockmarked man's expression hardened, and he immediately thought of the blood-red pillar of light from earlier. He didn't believe there was no connection between the two. It seemed the treasure must be inside that blood-red coffin!
"Leave two people up here to keep watch, we're going down too!"
The pockmarked man made a quick decision: if his underling could safely descend to the bottom, it meant there shouldn't be any danger down there.
With a rustling sound, almost all of the people brought by the pockmarked man climbed down into the cave, leaving only two people to guard the wind.
After the pockmarked man entered the underground, he indeed saw the blood-red coffin.
He cautiously tapped the coffin a few times with his weapon, but it didn't budge.
He then slammed it down again, but there wasn't even a scratch on the coffin, let alone a crack.
The pockmarked face instantly lit up with joy!
My darling!
Regardless of what's inside the coffin, the blood-red coffin itself is a priceless treasure.
