Chapter 181 – There Really Are Dragons! (2/2)

“Except for my little sister.” Li Muyang added after a long silence.

“——”

Lu Qiji felt she thought too highly of this idiot.

He is still an idiot, a trash, an insignificant person from Jiangnan city. His body possess something that is hard to defeat and she can't help but fear, however——

He still disappeared in the end.

Li Muyang is Li Muyang; he will never become the supreme king that occupies the th.o.r.n.y throne and was wors.h.i.+pped by millions.

As she thought of this, Lu Qiji suddenly felt somewhat futile.

“What is the point of my persistence? My sacrifice——-how many people will know of it?”

Lu Qiji composed her emotions and organised her thoughts before turning her attention back to Li Muyang, emotionless like before, when she said aloud: “We have to find the next boundary point.”

“What is a boundary point?” Li Muyang asked aloud.

The fact that this guy did not even know about such a simple problem, intensified Lu Qiji's anger and frustration.

“You fell from the cold pond to here because you broke through the prohibition spell at the bottom of the lake that was setup by someone powerful.” Lu Qiji impatiently explained: “The same with any prohibition, you can't return to the original place. You must find a boundary entry point, another door——Once we break that door, we can return to the original place.”

“I see.” Li Muyang exclaimed as if a thought had flashed into her mind: “You must know where the boundary point is, right?”

“I don't know.” Lu Qiji said. “不知道。”陸契機說道。

Li Muyang cried anxiously: “Lu Qiji, don't you dare trick me. You promised me just now that you will bring me safely back to Broken Mountain——But you don't even know where the boundary point is. If you don't know, how can you bring me back?”

“Idiot.” Lu Qiji snapped. “I said I don't know where the boundary point is, it doesn't mean I won't find it.”

Although scolded, Li Muyang was not the slightest bit angry, instead his lips curved into a smile. “I knew there is nothing you can't do——then we'll start now. Your Chu Xun boy must be anxiously trying to save you, if we don't return soon, I'm afraid he'll be eaten by the toad.”

A scarlet flame flashed in Lu Qiji's eyes, before she took the lead, bringing Li Muyang deeper into the palace.

The white jade floor emitted a wondrous light, the green-brown walls were covered with all sorts of marks and symbols.

The symbols were coated with a thick layer of dust and grime, and some corners were either hung with cobwebs or had formed the home of bloodthirsty bats.

Li Muyang looked puzzled. In this empty and s.p.a.cious hall, where no living creatures are found, what does the bats rely on to survive?

At the end of the long corridor was a huge wall inlaid with a double-sided arhat.

Lu Qiji carefully studied the wall, before stretching out her hand to brush her fingers against the Arhat's eyes, until a loud boom flung the giant door up.

Clang——

The moment the stone gate stabilizes, Lu Qiji took the lead again and walked ahead.

Li Muyang hesitantly followed behind.

A winding stone path led down a steep slope but because of the many corners, there was no way to see where it leads.

Lu Qiji walked in front, while Li Muyang closely trailed behind.

The farther they went, the deeper it was.

As though this stone path could lead to h.e.l.l.

On either side of the stone path, it was illuminated by jewels embedded in the wall. Walking behind, no matter how much Li Muyang furtively tried, he could not pull out the jewels on the wall——

The lower they went, the gloomier and more humid it was.

The lower they went, the stronger the disgusting and nauseating b.l.o.o.d.y smell.

“It won't be a place of slaughter below us, right?” Li Muyang tried to enliven the atmosphere, and hopefully improve his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Qiji. At this moment, he really needed this woman to lead the way.

Lu Qiji did not respond, her eyebrows already tightly scrunched up and her eyes s.h.i.+fting warily around their surroundings

She felt danger.

After they twisted around another corner, they finally reached the bottom of the stone steps.

Then, they stood there agape at the sight that lay in front of them.

“Dragons.” Li Muyang murmured. “There really——are dragons.”
