The tunnel was narrow and long, and the ending of the tunnel could hardly be seen. A moist and foul scent hit their noses, making Murong Xue cringe, “We’ve been walking for almost an hour. The tunnel is still looks the same. Where will it lead us to?”

Looking at her irritated face, Ou Yang smiled gently, “Does the map have any marks on it?”

Murong Xue read the map and shook her head, “It only recorded the location of the treasure, it doesn’t indicate any geographical landmarks or tunnels in the cave.” These marks were too detailed, there was no wonder the former Emperor did not draw out this part, otherwise anyone could find the treasure easily.

Ou Yang studied the rocky walls and said, “This tunnel has a stench, there are no openings or traps. Let’s continue down, maybe we can find the exit!”

“We have no other choice.” Murong Xue sulked. Hopefully this tunnel was not in a circle, otherwise they would come back to the starting point and be stuck in this cave for life.

Suddenly, a breeze blew across her cheeks. Murong Xue’s face lit up, “There’s wind, there’s an exit near here.” Even though it may not be an exit, it would still be a door that lead to another path; there would be no need to continue on in this tunnel.

The rocky walls were still the same, there was no difference along the way. Ou Yang’s face darkened, “The opening should be nearby, let’s find it properly!”

“Mmm!” Murong Xue nodded and pressed on the wall with her tiny fair hands. The walls were sticky and full of algae. The salty stench hit them again as she furrowed her brows slightly and continued pressing on the rocky walls.

As she pressed a protruding triangular rock, suddenly, the rock in front of them moved aside with a loud “Hong”. wWith that, a ray of bright sunlight shone upon them, so bright they could not open their eyes.

Murong Xue lifted her hands to shield her face from the brightness. Peeking through the gap in her fingers, she saw a picturesque golden mansion before her. The entrance to the golden mansion was decorated with pearls and jewels on the walls, and each jewel was enormous and lavish. Four golden pillars stood grandly, supporting the opulent weight of the mansion’s entrance.

In the middle of the golden pillars were twelve staircases made of pure gold. At the top of the stairs was a finely-carved golden throne, adorned with numerous gemstones and ornaments.

Golden boxes were placed randomly along the floor of the mansion. Extraordinary gems were piled up in them, and some were even spilling over and onto the ground, making it shiny and sparkly.

There was a two-metre wide pool outside of the mansion., The clear pool surrounded the mansion elegantly…, It was so clear that they could see the steam rising from below…

Murong Xue’s eyes went wide as she saw the luxurious scene in front of her. Gold was used to make pillars and tiles, pearls were used to decorate walls, the precious corals- that were so hard to find- were placed randomly here and there… The former Emperor must have been filthy rich.

No wonder even Ye Yichen wanted these treasures. They were limitless. Anyone who saw these treasures would long to own them.

Murong Xue walked into the mansion slowly. Her toes encountered a small rock and suddenly she tripped. The rock floated above the surface of the pool, which created a slight turbulence. The small waves then sucked the hovering rock into it. The whole process was so swift and accurate…

Murong Xue was puzzled, “What was that?”
