Chapter 131: Selling the Bracelet "Why?" My face paled at his words, and I nearly lost my grip on my chopsticks. I quickly explained to him, "Look, when I said you were my bodyguard before, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I don't know what special rules your Lu Clan has, but I truly consider you a friend. We don't need to follow that whole copper-coin repayment of gratitude thing. When my grandfather sent your family rice back then, it was just a bit of relief aid. You…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 132: The Return Trip I didn't expect him to ask that out of nowhere. My brain stalled for a second, and I stared at the computer screen for a long while before coming to my senses. I scratched my head, not knowing where to start, trying to stall and brush it off. This tactic worked well on my Fourth Brother, but it was useless with He Yu. He was extraordinarily sensitive when it came to interpersonal matters, so he quickly poked me with a finger. "What's the matter? You've already said so…

- Chapter 124: Meeting Han Jian Again When I heard the term "corpse beetle," I froze for a moment. I wasn't entirely clear on what the experts meant by that name, but seeing these creatures that could "turn into" stones, I instinctively thought of some kind of scavenger arthropod. Once they unfolded, they looked far too much like live shrimp with fangs. "These aren't corpse beetles. They're stone horseshoe crab bugs. Their eyesight is poor, but their hearing is sharp. We need to get out of here fast,"…

- Chapter 125: Eighteenth Floor Buddhist Pagoda "We wandered in the maze for a long time. Eventually, we had no choice but to use detonators, hoping to blast our way out bit by bit. We didn't expect the path we blew open to be covered in saltpeter. The first blast triggered a chain reaction, causing countless explosions. Almost all our people were lost inside. Only a few of us managed to crawl out." We stood in the stone passage listening to Han Jian. I suddenly began to understand the message someone…

- Chapter 126: Getting on the Bridge Seeing the three of us just standing there, Han Jian quickly came out from behind us. I felt that regardless of whether our idea was feasible, we needed to loop Han Jian in so we could adjust the plan together. Lu Ayao clearly had the same thought, because as soon as Han Jian walked over, Lu Ayao laid out everything we had come up with so far. The platform was large. While they were talking, I stepped to the side to find a better angle for my flashlight. Staring at…

- Chapter 118: A Good Meal I didn't say anything. Chen Canghai uncharacteristically crawled over from the other end, having clearly overheard our conversation. "I don't know what happened between you all," he said, "but under the current circumstances, we'd better try not to harbor too many suspicions. Once he wakes up, we can always just ask him then." Chen Canghai's words actually cleared up the knot I hadn't been able to untie. I sat cross-legged in the cave, looking at the cut on my…

- Chapter 119: Lotus Bodhisattva Seeing that he was awake, I crawled over. Lu Ayao was leaning against the deepest part of the tomb robber's tunnel. This tunnel was only a small section leading to the waterway below. When I first entered, I noticed a shovel head lying near Lu Ayao's backpack, but the thing was completely ruined. I suspected he had dug this section of the tunnel himself, working from the bottom up. He had rested for two hours. We had applied anti-inflammatory medicine to his wounds, and…

- Chapter 120: Wu Taisui Despite what he said, I still found it strange. This underground palace was a relic of the Shang-Zhou period, meaning those Lotus Bodhisattvas must have been here for at least three thousand years. If Jiang Qiaozi merely worshipping them affected his children, what would happen to Lu Ayao after he blew them up with explosives? On second thought, if the curse only manifested in the next generation, Lu Ayao didn't have much to fear for now. As long as he didn't get married or…
