"bite!"
"Time's up, you can teleport now!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin Xue gave the goblins in the cave a kind smile.
"Your time is up, and you can return to your own world soon."
"Mr. Goblin, if I ever reach the continent of Caesar that you spoke of, I hope you won't forget our friendship. I've always admired the life of your goblin race. I hope that one day I can also visit your world!"
Once she gets rid of these goblins, she can start prying open the luminous pearl; just thinking about it makes her happy.
"Haha, no problem at all, we welcome Miss Lin anytime!"
The goblins were very excited at the thought of returning to the continent of Caesars soon.
The old goblin enthusiastically told Lin Xue several interesting stories he had seen and heard on the continent of Caesar.
He also told Lin Xue the location of their goblin tribe, telling her that if she ever went to Caesar's Continent, she should definitely remember to visit them.
In a friendly atmosphere, the goblins who had been chatting and laughing with Lin Xue just moments before vanished from the spot.
Seeing the empty cave, Lin Xue immediately jumped onto the stone table.
Standing on tiptoe, he used a sharp knife he had previously selected from his spatial storage to pry open the luminous pearl on the cave ceiling.
"Lin Xue, you can do it! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
While picking at her nails, Lin Xue didn't forget to cheer herself up.
With her brute strength and incredible luck, Lin Xue quickly pried all the luminous pearls off the top of the cave.
Without hesitation, he put all the luminous pearls into the space.
Then he lit the lamp in the corner of the cave.
It wasn't until Lin Xue lit the lamp that she realized it wasn't an ordinary oil lamp.
Once this thing is lit, it's even brighter than an incandescent light bulb in the modern world.
The entire cave was illuminated as clearly as if it were daytime.
"Wow, this is amazing! I never expected there to be such wonderful things here besides gems and luminous pearls!"
At that moment, Lin Xue realized that the quality of things could not be judged solely by the naked eye.
For example, she only saw the shiny gems and didn't look at anything else carefully.
After the incident with the lamp, Lin Xue knew that the things inside were probably treasures that would be priceless outside.
Carrying a lantern, they quickly searched the cave for anything placed inside.
"How did you find us so quickly?"
For the first time, Lin Xue complained that Liu Zhi and the others were moving too fast; she could already hear hurried footsteps coming from outside the cave.
After quickly throwing in anything that could be stored in her spatial storage, Lin Xue walked to a corner of the cave and sat down.
He took two deep breaths, messed up his hair, leaned against the mountain wall, and closed his eyes.
"Auntie, how are you?"
"Are you injured?"
"How could she have fainted here?"
Amidst the chaotic sounds of conversation and violent shaking, Lin Xue had no choice but to wake up.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Liu Zhi, how did you get in? Where are the dwarfs?"
The old lady feigned weakness, rubbing her forehead and shaking her head as she asked in a low voice.
"Half an hour ago, we had a fight with the dwarf and had to temporarily leave the secret passage!"
"When we came back in, we found that all the dwarfs were gone!"
Liu Zhi carefully helped Lin Xue to sit down at the table.
He took his water bottle from his waist and handed it to Lin Xue, letting her drink some water to moisten her throat. He then told Lin Xue about the situation outside.
"Looks like..."
"Hiss~"
Lin Xue was about to say "goblin" when she immediately realized she had almost let it slip, and in her haste, she bit her tongue.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Liu Zhi had no idea what was wrong with Lin Xue. Seeing that she stopped after saying only a few words, he couldn't help but ask her with concern.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just too hungry and bit my tongue!"
What can Lin Xue say?
The goblin thing couldn't be told to anyone. Since the people of this world thought they were dwarfs, she would just accept that they were dwarfs.
Lin Xue didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Let's hurry up and go out. Once we're out, I'll personally make some cold noodles for the old lady!"
Upon hearing that the old lady was hungry, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
In his heart, Lin Xue was not just a kind old lady or a patient teacher.
She was as gentle as a mother, and Lin Xue held a special place in his heart.
Liu Zhi even considered taking care of Lin Xue in her old age and seeing her off when she died. If it weren't for Lin Xue's three good sons who seemed very filial, Liu Zhi would have wanted to snatch Lin Xue away and make her his mother.
"Liu Zhi, how long have you been serving your master?"
When Liu Zhi said he was leaving, the other guards nodded secretly, and Lin Xue couldn't help but facepalm.
Are they still the bodyguards of the biggest merchant in Liuzhou?
How come they're blind? Didn't they see all the gems in the cave?
"I've been with my master since I was very young, even younger than Treasure!"
"Auntie, why are you asking this? Let's hurry up and leave, who knows if those dwarfs will come back!"
Liu Zhi didn't understand why the old lady would ask such a pointless question at a time like this.
"Why!"
"Liu Zhi, thank goodness you're not my son!"
Lin Xue sighed deeply, feeling helpless at the way these young people looked at her.
