Chapter 453: Irrational (1/2)

Never in her wildest imagination would she have guessed that the bad feelings she had earlier was because the ruins was closing. However, it was to be expected as this place was a grave and they were stealing from it. How was it possible to escape unscathed after taking all the treasures?

It seemed like collecting all the treasures earlier hastened the closing of the ruins...

Seemingly able to sense something wrong, everyone started emerging from the passage they had chosen as they rushed towards the exit.

After Bai Luochu and Pei Qingfeng glanced at each other, they didn’t delay any further and left immediately. They nodded at Lu Wenshu and ran towards the entrance.

When they arrived at the entrance, Pei Rumo was already there waiting for them. However, Bai Luochu suddenly stopped dead in her tracks when she sensed that a spiritual herb was appearing.

After painstakingly searching for the Field Pearl Flower for such a long time, it appeared right before they were about to leave!

There were only two choices she could make right now. She could either leave safely, or she could try to obtain the spiritual herb that she had desired for so long.

The Field Pearl Flower was right there, inside a hidden chamber located beside the entrance. In her haste, she charged deep into the ruins and ignored the possibility of the Field Pearl Flower being hidden in the most obvious spot. She assumed that the most valuable treasures would be located deep within the ruins. After looking at the hidden chamber for a little while, Bai Luochu seemed to sense that something was wrong with it.

It was also entirely possible that the Field Pearl Flower was’t here from the start. When the entrance to the ruins opened, there had to be a special mechanism hiding the secret chamber deep underground. The hidden chamber probably opened when the ruins started to close. That was also the reason why she was only able to sense the presence of the Field Pearl Flower when she tried to leave.

Bai Luochu took a look at Pei Qingfeng and at that moment, she realized that she was treating him differently from before. She wasn’t as indifferent to him as she thought she was. The feelings she had for him deep in her heart were starting to surface, but due to Lu Wenshu’s betrayal, she didn’t dare to admit her feelings for him.

Was it time to make a choice? Bai Luochu felt that the choice she had to make wasn’t between living or obtaining the Field Pearl Flower, instead it was choosing between Pei Qingfeng and her cultivation.

However, Bai Luochu didn’t have the courage to gamble. She was afraid, afraid of being betrayed once again. Throwing off Pei Qingfeng’s hand at the very last moment, she charged into the hidden chamber alone.

In order to ensure that Bai Luochu wasn’t left behind, he dragged her all the way back when she stopped moving. Never in his wildest imaginations did he expect for her to let go of his hand right before they left the ruins

With no time to ponder about his actions, Pei Qingfeng turned around and flew into the hidden chamber behind her.

“Kacha”, the entrance to the ruins slammed shut and a piece of Pei Qingfeng’s shirt fluttered in the wind.
