Chapter 296 - 83 oddity on the coffin (1/2)

Wait… There was still one most important question. He Yi could not help but ask the only question, “There is no light in this underground palace, how can bamboo grow? How can aquatic plants grow?”

Plants could not grow without sunlight, because sunlight was needed to complete photosynthesis. If plants could not grow, how would other creatures live.

“There is an air vent above the garden that can shine light in. It can provide light for at least six hours a day,”explained he yi gently. Seeing the doubt in he Yi’s eyes, he did not wait for her to continue asking, he continued, “There is no place to climb in that cave. Only birds can fly up!”

The underground palace had considered all aspects during the planning process. Even the only crack that could be used was not wasted. The only crack, the only passage that connected the underground palace to the outside world, was a narrow crack in the sky. Only birds could freely enter and exit. Even planes could not do anything about it because it was too narrow.

He Yi could not help but be surprised. “Why are you so familiar with this place!”

To be so familiar with the underground palace, he must have lived here for a long time before he could observe it in such detail.

Gentle looked at the flickering candle on the table and said with a smile, “Legend has it that this kind of candle made from shark oil can be used for half a year!”

He Yi had long noticed that a third of all the candles had been lit. In other words… gentle had lived here for at least two months.

Now, he Yi had no more doubts! She remembered that when she first entered the underground palace, he said that he would bring her in for a walk and that he would treat her to a good meal.

At that time, she had felt that there was something wrong with his brain. She had even thought that he might have been possessed by a ghost, or that he had been frightened by the evil spirit that Queen Loulan had turned into, which was why he had spouted nonsense.

Now… Alright, she had to admit that he was absolutely right.

It seemed that he had never said anything empty, much less bragged about it. The things that he had said would definitely be done!

“Why aren’t you eating!”He Yi noticed that he did not eat much.

He smiled gently and said, “Look at you eating, you taste better than me!”

He Yi’s cheeks burned slightly because the man’s words were a little explicit and intimate, and she could not hide it no matter what. She wanted to pretend that she did not understand, but when she remembered that this man was so smart that he was almost cunning, she decided not to play dumb anymore, so she decided to speak frankly.

Her pretty face darkened slightly, and she warned sternly, “I am a man with a husband. I hope that you will be careful when you speak and do things. Thank you!”
