As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi's face lit up. She patted the dust off her body, stood up, and walked over to Nangong Lin's side.
”Forty roasted chickens.” She extended four fingers in front of Nangong Lin and looked at him with a smile.
The intelligent Nangong Lin immediately understood what Yan Xiaoxi meant and nodded in agreement, ”Speak, what do you want in exchange?”
Yan Xiaoxi stretched out her palm and floated in the air as she gave Nangong Lin a meaningful look.
”Little Linlin has to promise me first.” Yan Xiaoxi definitely wouldn't do something where he had suffered a loss. If he listened to her words, what would he do if he went back on his word?
When it came to matters of delicacies, Yan Xiaoxi would never back down.
”Pa!” A clapping sound could be heard from inside the cave.
With her goal achieved, Yan Xiaoxi smiled excitedly, pointed her slender finger at the door, and said, ”That place is so strange.”
That's right, the place that Yan Xiaoxi was pointing to was the five round holes on the door.
After hearing this, Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. He immediately felt that he had been cheated.
This useless sentence was exchanged for forty roasted chickens. Presumably, only this woman could do such a thing.
”Woman, you are challenging This King's patience.” Nangong Lin's face darkened and his voice turned ice-cold.
Yan Xiaoxi was calm and composed. She was no longer afraid of Nangong Lin who was cold and indifferent like this. After getting along with him for so long, she knew what kind of expression he would have when he got angry, and what kind of actions he would take.
Thus, it was sufficient to judge that he was only scaring himself.
”Look.” Yan Xiaoxi didn't want to keep them in suspense. She took off the necklace from her neck and placed the round and plump pearl on the hole.
Surprisingly, the gap between the pearl and the round hole completely matched.
”Little Lin Lin, don't you think that these pits can fit a round stone inside?” Yan Xiaoxi had unintentionally discovered this point and felt that the marks on top of the bead was sufficient to place down a bead. That was why she took the pearl on her neck and tested it.
When he saw this scene, Nangong Lin seemed to have been enlightened. His deep gaze moved to the left and right of the five round pits.
In the end, he gave a conclusion, ”Rainbow Pearls.”
The five strange pits on the door were the same size as the multicolored beads, and the numbers were the same.
If Nangong Lin's prediction was correct, the Rainbow Pearl must be the key to opening this door.
”What is a multicolored pearl?” Yan Xiaoxi curiously asked again.
The Rainbow Pearls each had five different colored pearls: gold, earth, water, fire, and earth. Four of them were in four different countries, while the remaining one was missing.
In the past, the Rainbow Pearls were given to the Immortal Spirit Island as a treasure, but it was left to the people and finally fell to the Four Great Empires. Because it was related to the Immortal Spirit Island, the Four Great Empires simultaneously gave the Rainbow Pearls as a national treasure, passing down the legacy.
This time around, Nangong Lin was worried again. Wanting to obtain the five colored pearls was most definitely not a simple matter.
However, for the sake of the Hundred Spirit Pill, regardless of whether it was going up the mountain or down the sea of flames, he would gather all of the Rainbow Pearls and open the door.
”Woman, let's go.”
”Where to?” Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a stiff expression. She had no idea what had happened.
”Return to the manor.” The Gold-coloured Pearls were in the Southern Water Kingdom, and of the five pearls, this Nangong Lin was the easiest to obtain.
”But you still haven't told me what a five colored bead is.” Once Yan Xiaoxi's curiosity was aroused, she would not give up until she got her answer.
