Chapter 453: It’s Just an Old Man; There’s Nothing to See
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It wasn’t that it was dazzling, but the scene inside was too familiar.
“Why does this look like my bedchamber?”
After saying that, Chu Luo walked over to take a closer look.
Li Yan shifted his body and said in a cold voice, “You’re mistaken.”
After saying that, he said to her domineeringly, “This is the tomb of another man. As someone with a man, turn around and don’t look.”
Chu Luo looked at Li Yan, who was exuding a destructive aura, and swallowed her words.
She pursed her lips and leaned against the stone wall to look at the murals. She suddenly guessed whose tomb was inside.
Chu Luo turned her gaze to the tomb door and asked, “Is this the Grand General’s tomb?”
“No.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips again. Seeing how quickly this man answered, that must be it.
At the thought of this, she wanted to follow him in.
Li Yan, who had already walked in, appeared by the tomb door and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Chu Luo glared at him.
Li Yan walked up to her in two steps, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her deeply.
Chu Luo: “…”
Why was this man getting more and more jealous?
When she was almost unable to breathe, she raised her hand and punched his shoulder, gesturing for him to stop.
Li Yan then let go of her reluctantly.
Li Yan pulled her into his arms again and said in a low voice, “Couldn’t you tell that Fang Yao had ill intentions towards you?”
“Mm?”
Chu Luo looked up at him.
Indeed, she hadn’t been able to tell. “The Grand General had never spoken to me before. We seldom interacted alone. How could I tell anything?”
Hearing this, a trace of frustration flashed across Li Yan’s eyes.
How could he have forgotten that his baby was extremely smart in all aspects except when it came to matters of the heart.
He shouldn’t have let her know!
Li Yan thought for a moment and added, “He probably wanted to get close to Feng Lan through you. Maybe he liked Feng Lan.”
Chu Luo looked up at him with confusion.
Li Yan flew into a rage out of humiliation and pretended to lower his head to kiss her again.
Chu Luo quickly pushed him and scolded jokingly, “Big baddie, stop fooling around. I was able to save you from the coffin this time because of that dragon’s help. Hurry up and go in and find that piece for it.”
Li Yan responded with an “Mm” before letting go of her. However, he still instructed, “I’ll go in alone. You wait here.”
Chu Luo looked at his tense handsome face and raised her hand to touch it. “Got it. Go quickly.”
Li Yan then turned around and walked into the tomb.
Soon, a dragon’s roar came from the tomb.
Then, a golden light appeared. Chu Luo subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
After the golden light disappeared, Li Yan walked out of the tomb chamber with an intact jade in his hand.
Chu Luo looked at the jade in his hand and exclaimed, “Why has this jade become smaller?”
Li Yan also looked at the jade in his hand and said with disdain, “The dragon inside left. After he gave it to me as a thank-you gift, this jade became smaller.”
Seeing Li Yan’s expression, Chu Luo couldn’t help but laugh.
She raised her hand to take it and looked at it. Indeed, there was a golden light floating inside. She told him, “The dragon has lived in this jade for so long. It already has a connection with him. In the future, if you encounter any danger that you can’t resolve, he will come and save you. So this is the repayment the dragon promised you.”
She then took out a rope and tied it around the jade pendant, gesturing to Li Yan. “Yan, lower your head.”
Li Yan bent his knees and lowered his head. Chu Luo hung the jade pendant around his neck.
Only then did Chu Luo ask, “Did you see the Grand General’s coffin?”
When Li Yan heard this, he thought about the general in his thirties and pulled her into his arms. He turned around and walked in the opposite direction. As he walked, he said, “It’s just an old man. There’s nothing to see.”
Chu Luo: “…”
These words sounded strange to her.
What the two of them didn’t know was that as they left, a golden light flashed and quickly disappeared.
The main tomb chamber was huge. As the two of them walked, Chu Luo remembered that he had ordered someone to secretly build the tomb during the last period of time. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you get someone to secretly build this tomb at that time?”
“In order for Fang Yao to take over my position smoothly and not let everyone panic in advance.”
“How did you know that he could govern a country?”
“As an invincible general, since Fang Yan knows how to lead troops to war, he should know how to manage the empire.”
“Why did you give him the throne?”
Actually, this was what Chu Luo wanted to know the most.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan stopped talking after she finished asking.
Chu Luo looked at him strangely.
The two of them walked for a while before he said, “I believed he could manage this country well.”
As a man, he understood the Grand General.
Even if for no other reason, the Grand General would protect this empire well for Feng Ling’s sake.
Li Yan didn’t want to talk about the Grand General anymore, so he said to Chu Luo, “Let’s go see if there are any survivors in the tomb.”
If there was, he would directly deal with all those people here. “After you go up, seal all of this place.”
“Okay.” Chu Luo nodded and suddenly said worriedly, “I wonder how long we’ve been in the tomb for. What if a month has passed? Also, what about Uncle Sun and the others? After we enter the main tomb, I won’t be able to sense if they’re in danger.”
Li Yan patted her waist comfortingly. “Let’s go look for them and find the cure for the Gu poison.”
“Mm.”
This was the only way.
The tomb chamber was actually very dangerous, but even the most dangerous things were frightened into hiding when the two of them passed by.
After walking for a while, Chu Luo stopped and said, “These poisonous beings are all afraid of the priest’s power on me. Looks like we have to think of other ways.”
“What solution do you have in mind?”
Chu Luo blinked at him and said, “I’ll try to get them to deliver what I want.”
After saying that, Chu Luo took out the bell and shook it.
Li Yan could clearly feel that she was different from before when she was shaking the bell.
At this moment, her body was emitting spots of fluorescence that quickly dispersed into the surroundings.
After about two minutes, there was a commotion in front.
Chu Luo stopped and said, “Place it at a corner ten meters away. Don’t appear in front of us.”
After she finished speaking, the commotion stopped.
Then, there was the sound of something walking into the distance.
Chu Luo waited for the sound to disappear before saying to Li Yan, “Alright, the things I wanted have been sent over.”
Li Yan was a little surprised. “Your powers have become stronger?”
“Mm, when I rescued you, that dragon and phoenix helped me inherit the High Priestess’s ability.”
Li Yan nodded and the two of them walked forward.
When she walked past the corner, she saw a glowing plant on the ground. Beside the plant were a few squashed worms.
Chu Luo took out two empty bottles and a silver needle before placing these two items inside.
As she did so, she told Li Yan, “This kind of grass only grows in tombs that are more than a thousand years old. It can protect the cerebral nerves. When this kind of worm is dried by the sun, it will emit a smell that can guide that kind of Gu worm. With them, the Gu worm in Teacher Gao’s brain will be easy to extract.”
Li Yan nodded but didn’t say anything.
After Chu Luo put away her things, the two of them continued walking forward.
When they reached the entrance of the tomb, the entire open space was filled with traces of an explosion. Other than the dried blood that had been splattered on the ground, there was no sign of a corpse.
Even so, the stone door was still intact.
“Those corpses should have been eaten by the worms here.”
Li Yan looked around and said to Chu Luo in a low voice, “The remaining robots seem to have disappeared.”
Previously, when they were fighting, Phoenix had directly melted the robots. At that time, they had not fully melted.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo frowned. “Is Neeson not dead yet?”
Li Yan quickly checked his surroundings and said, “The explosion here was very intense. Unless Neeson left before the explosion, it’s impossible for him to not die.”
“I was confronting Neeson at that time. It’s impossible for him to leave early.” Chu Luo thought for a while and guessed, “Could these robots have been taken away by the others from Neeson’s organization?”
Li Yan thought for a moment and nodded. “It’s possible.”
After saying that, he held her hand and walked forward. As they walked, he said, “Let’s get out of the ancient tomb first. We’ll ask the people up there.”
“Mm.”
The two of them walked back the way they came from. As they walked, Chu Luo made Li Yan stop.
“What’s wrong?” Li Yan asked.
Chu Luo pointed at the ground. “Yan, look at the ground. When we came, these aisles were very dry.. It’s actually so damp now.”
