The palace tomb...

Statues: the place was filled with vivid and lifelike statues made of white jade, looking extremely similar to a pale woman's soft, tender skin.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Most importantly, the statues were all women with glamorous and slim figures, each with a different posture: lowering their heads, bowing, kneeling on the ground, or with a smile on their faces. The group felt like they were being welcomed by the emperor's harem as they walked past them.

Also, none of them were wearing clothes when the sculptures were carved, further implying that they were the pampered women of the emperor. Their alluring expressions and their naked bodies… it was too difficult to just treat them as mere statues...

Even Liu Ru and Su Xiaoluo blushed when they saw the spectacular sight. Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Fang Gu felt slightly awkward. Their only comment was that the Qin Emperor had a strong interest in all kinds of collections, including women. They did not find a single statue that was repeated, each of them had a unique taste and charm.

Mo Fan nudged Zhang Xiaohou with his elbow and whispered, ”Houzi, which one do you like?”

”Brother Fan, I'm not in the mood for this. All I think is trying to meet the Ancient King as soon as possible, many people are still waiting for us...” said Zhang Xiaohou sternly.

”So, which one do you like?” Mo Fan was enjoying it despite the suffering of the city. No matter how grim the situation was, it could not stop the men from pursuing their natural desires.

”Well...” Zhang Xiaohou blushed before he whispered, ”I like this one that's alive.”

Mo Fan looked at Su Xiaoluo beside them and chuckled. Even the most beautiful statue with the perfect body and peerless beauty was merely a lifeless object. It was nothing compared to a lively girl whose single smile or wink could pluck the strings in a man's heart.

”Is there no end to this place, just like the corridor?” Su Xiaoluo finally asked.

There were too many jade statues on both sides, yet every one of them was unique in their own way. It felt the same as the endless corridor...

”Err... I think there are just too many of them,” Mo Fan pointed ahead, telling her that there were no more statues ahead.

As Mo Fan mentioned, the statues had come to an end. Mo Fan was in a different mood than Zhang Xiaohou. He basically inspected all the statues along the way. Liu Ru, who was following him, rolled her eyes a couple of times, yet Mo Fan did not feel ashamed of his action. It was his passion for art. Humans should never stop pursuing beautiful things in their lives. Otherwise, what difference was there between them and salted fish?

”Why is it completely dark ahead?” Zhang Xiaohou asked suddenly, further ahead than the others.

”Did the path end?” Fang Gu was stunned.

As they continued forward, the path gradually narrowed as it led them to a jade platform surrounded by darkness, as if they had walked up to the edge of a cliff.

A strong wind was blowing, circling the platform on both sides, as if it would sweep them into the abyss if they took the wrong step.

Zhang Xiaohou was a Wind Magician. He probed the area ahead with his will, but quickly withdrew it in panic and blurted out in shock, ”It's a very high-quality type of wind, I can't even transmit my will through it. It can easily tear a Ruler-level creature to pieces!”

The strong black wind looked like countless black sickles swiping wildly beside and above them. If it was as scary as Zhang Xiaohou described, the whole space, apart from the platform they were standing on, was a death zone!
