Chapter 1816 - Admiration (4)” (1/2)

“Alright, then I’ll keep looking for a way out with you.” Bai Ning firmly says this, her eyes determined and bright.

If Ling Yan wasn’t in danger then they wouldn’t be so urgent, but that’s not the case. They must locate the exit as soon as possible!

“Mother, we’re going further inside, there must be another passage to the outside world here somewhere.” Pulling her punch off the stone pillar, Bai Yan begins to walk towards the inner depths of this ancient structure.

As for the poor stone pillar that’s been left in their rear, the entire thing instantly crumbled into rubble once they were gone, leaving only a mass of dust in the air.

……

Despite their determination, Bai Ning believes the path up ahead leads only to a dead end. She’s already searched this part and most of the areas, there’s nothing ahead aside from a big wall. Similarly, the grandmother also understood that even if she had told Bai Yan this, this stubborn child of hers wouldn’t listen unless she sees it in person anyways.

As expected, it didn’t take long for a wall to block their way forward.

Crunching her fist in frustration, Bai Yan’s expression didn’t show any emotions as she spoke: “Since this is an ancient ruin, there must be other passageways we’re not aware of. The ones who built this wouldn’t have constructed the layout like that. Let’s search the place.”

“Okay.” Bai Ning silently began to touch the floor and walls with her ears pressed in against them for sounds of abnormality.

When Bai Yan disappeared in those months, she also searched for a long time in this manner since she didn’t believe there to be only one exit. The issue was, she couldn’t find the supposed passageways and fell into despair until her daughter suddenly returned….

“Hmm?” Suddenly, the demon queen’s sight fell upon a certain painting hanging on one of the walls in front.

The depicted female in this painting was not unfamiliar to Bai Yan, in fact, she’s seen this person countless times already. Specifically, it’s the same one from the ancient diary in her possession.
