639 Too Hard to Escape from the Chains of Love 16 (1/2)

He was not in a hurry.

Lu Jinwen strode forward, walking past the others as he stood in front of the crystal casket and gradually hunched his tall, handsome body.

Everyone was looking at him. Jun Mosheng promptly demanded, ”Young Master Lu, what are you thinking of doing?”

Lu Jinwen planted his soft lips on Lin Xuanji's forehead and kissed her gently. ”Darling, be good while I'm gone, hm?”

He kissed Lin Xuanji's forehead.

There was a glint in Jun Mosheng's gentle and narrow eyes. He wanted to go ahead to haul Lu Jinwen away.

But Lu Jinwen straightened himself first and looked at Jun Mosheng. ”Second Young Master Jun, I'm kissing my woman. Do you have anything to say about it?”

”…” Jun Mosheng knitted his brows and did not say a word.

Lu Jinwen gradually walked away in a calm and composed manner.

Butler Ye followed him.

Meng Che breathed a sigh of relief. What a close shave. He was not exposed of his misdeeds. But would Lu Jinwen bring Lin Siyu away, now that he was leaving?

The thought of Lin Siyu made Meng Che's eyes fill with lust. This Lin Siyu had been trained since young by Old Master Lin to pleasure Lu Jinwen, and her service was indeed pleasurable. He had not gotten tired of her yet.

Meng Che furtively shot a glance at his assistant. The assistant promptly left.

Ah Man looked at Lu Jinwen's retreating back lovingly. Was he going to leave?

But she could not bear for him to leave.

”High Priest, I'm tired. I will go back to sleep first.” Ah Man crafted a lie.

High Priest Meng Lu looked at Ah Man with concern. As he doted on his pretty wife, he was quick to say, ”Alright, quickly go back to rest. All of you serve Madam properly.”

A few maids nodded their heads. ”Yes.”

Ah Man left with the maids.

At this moment, High Priest Meng Lu looked at Jun Mosheng and said, ”Mr Jun, it's already dark now. Please go back early to rest. Rest assured that no one will be able to take the Holy Lady away.”

Jun Mosheng was startled. ”Why does High Priest say that?”

Meng Lu looked at the crystal casket. ”That year, when the Holy Lady was placed in the crystal casket, her body pressed down on the mechanism beneath the casket. If someone were to take her away, the mechanism beneath her body would be activated automatically.”

”What will happen when it's activated?”

”If it's activated, the entire altar will collapse. And if the altar collapses, it will crush the people of the Miao Tribe below. It would be a bloodbath.”

Jun Mosheng's expression changed. He was unaware that there would be such a mechanism in the altar.

The altar was located on top of the mountain. If it were to collapse, it would hit the people of the Miao Tribe like a meteor. There were tens of thousands of lives beneath the altar.

How could they sacrifice the lives of so many people just to save one?

Jun Mosheng and Tang Mo'er looked at each other. Both their countenances were solemn. It seemed like it would be very challenging to take Lin Xuanji away.

…

Tang Mo'er returned to her own room. She was a little worried as she was unsure how she could rescue her Mom.

At this moment, she felt a slight twinge of pain in her chest. She was about two months pregnant now, and she had already felt her chest beginning to get engorged since a few days ago. It felt very uncomfortable.

She seemed to be experiencing breast engorgement.
