Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 384 - 382

Chapter 384: 382

"What a great idea! Leaving all this gold here for the folks of Xiyue Country to find, that’s just letting them have it!" Feng Xing exclaimed with excitement.

"Isn’t this Xiyue Country’s territory? So technically, these gold pieces should belong to Xiyue Country!" Xiao’er warned the two of them.

"Exactly, they belong to Xiyue Country, so we should definitely not leave them for them! If they did not belong to Xiyue Country, we might not have the audacity to take them!" Feng Xing stated with due righteousness.

"That’s right, these are definitely ill-gotten gains, we must take all of them! For many years, Xiyue Country has plundered countless treasures from our people! It’s only fair for us to snatch something back once!" Feng Hen contributed with agreement.

"Take all of it back? How do you plan to take it?" Shangguan Xuanyi replied with a raised brow.

"Well... we’ll take as much as we can!" Feng Hen took a glance at these gold walls, and spoke out with a pained heart.

Why couldn’t providence grow him a few more hands! If that were the case, he wouldn’t need to work a day in his life!

"Let’s keep going. There might be more gold as we move further in!" Xiao’er suggested.

The gold could only be taken at the very last moment before leaving, otherwise, should the passage collapse, they wouldn’t live to get their hands on the gold.

"Right, right, we can come back for a piece, er, no make it three or four pieces, when we leave!" Feng Xing realised he could still handle three or four pieces of gold, knowing that there could be items of greater value ahead, he was eager to proceed.

Shangguan Xuanyi guarded Xiao’er behind him, watching and listening carefully as they moved forward.

The entire journey was bathed in shimmering gold light.

At the end stood a door crafted from gold.

Even a nouveau riche wouldn’t need to go to this extent, Xiao’er couldn’t help but mock within her heart.

"How do I dismantle this door?" He decided to ignore the rest and just take this door, that would be enough. Feng Xing stroked the golden door, reluctant to let go.

Feng Hen and Shangguan Xuanyi held up their Night-luminescent pearls searching for the entrance upon the wall.

The golden python shrunk its body, quickly wriggling in through the crack under the door.

Watching it squeeze in, Xiao’er’s heart rose to her throat. There wouldn’t be traps in there, would there?

"Bai Tian, do you know what is inside?"

"Venomous spiders, a whole passage full of venomous spiders."

Xiao’er: "..."

After a while, Xiao’er couldn’t help but ask again, not willing to give up hope: "Would Xiao Huang be scared? Is there any treasure inside?"

If it was packed full of venomous spiders, why would she go in! To become food for the venomous spiders?

"No fear! There is a room full of medical books and gold, aside from these, everything else is venomous spiders."

The golden python crawled back out.

"Master, ride on my back, I will push open the door and lead you in, don’t kill those venomous spiders. A venomous spider will trigger the trap inside once killed. The exit is also inside. Let’s go."

Xiao’er nodded after hearing this.

Hence, the golden python enlarged its body again; this time, it didn’t grow too big.

"Let’s get on Xiao Huang’s back! There are many venomous spiders inside; don’t kill them."

After hearing this, the three of them climbed onto the snake’s back again.

The tail of the golden python swept across, and the golden walls on both sides disappeared, leaving a stone wall.

The golden door was opened.

In an instant, countless giant venomous spiders of black colour crawled out.

Then, they turned away and hid after seeing the golden python, just like mice caught sight of a cat.

As the golden python slithered ahead, the venomous spiders dodged out of its way.

It was like a majestic general, the spiders being its soldiers, lining up on both sides, not daring to budge an inch and saluting the golden python as it advanced.

Feng Hen and Feng Xing initially felt their skin crawl just by seeing so many venomous spiders.

Now seeing their human-like behavior, they found it amusing. Was this a case of a bluff?

Even an emperor’s parade wouldn’t receive such treatment!

After the snake body passed, the golden door closed automatically once again.

Then, they arrived at another gold door.

The golden python touched a spot with its snake head, and the door opened automatically.

As the snake body moved through, the door closed itself. During this period, not one venomous spider dared to move an inch.

Feng Xing and Feng Hen were extremely shocked inside, what kind of pet was this, kept by the county master Rui’an? The king of toxic creatures? It was absolutely amazing!

Upon arriving in this secret chamber, at last, the walls were not entirely made of gold.

Instead, ebony bookshelves filled all four walls.

An old saying goes: "Having half a piece of ebony at home is worth a treasure chest!"

These bookshelves were all crafted from ebony... Whose turf was this? Even the nouveau riche would be green with envy.

There was a set of golden tables and chairs and a tea set in the middle of the secret room.

And a golden bed.

The owner of this secret room must be a gold enthusiast! Xiao’er thought to herself.

"I wonder what sleeping on gold would feel like?" Feng Xing admired in amazement.

"Why not try it yourself then?" Feng Hen was also amazed by the extravagance of the owner of the secret room, he must truly adore gold bars to have his night’s sleep on gold.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked around, then stopped by a bookshelf and twisted a switch on it.

The whole bookshelf started to move.

The other three all watched, then they were dumbfounded.

A room full of neatly stacked gold bricks!

Shangguan Xuanyi cocked an eyebrow, looking at Feng Xing and Feng Hen: "Now you can take them."

Both Feng Xing and Feng Hen immediately removed their outer clothing and started to fill it with gold bricks.

Shangguan Xuanyi started packing away one bookshelf after another into his spatial storage.

Xiao’er, on the other hand, stored the golden bed and golden table and chairs into her spatial storage.

After both Feng Hen and Feng Xing finished packing more than twenty pieces of gold bricks each, they turn around to a completely emptied room.

"Where did all the bookshelves go?" Feng Hen couldn’t resist asking.

Shangguan Xuanyi placed his hand on all the gold bricks, and in the blink of an eye, the entire roomful of bricks was devoured into the spatial storage.

"They all vanished as you were taking the gold bricks." Xiao’er half-truthfully answered.

Could those things have been altered by some magic?

Upon hearing this, the two hastily checked their packs, then sighed with relief as they found that all their gold bricks were still there.

Paying no mind to the two fools, Shangguan Xuanyi said," Let’s go."

The moment Shangguan Xuanyi’s words were uttered, countless arrows shot out from the walls of the secret room!

Shangguan Xuanyi immediately swept his cloak, blocking the arrows aimed at him and Xiao’er.

Both Feng Xing and Feng Hen also emulated Shangguan Xuanyi’s action, drawing their swords to block the incoming arrows.

"Master, move quickly! Somebody is killing the venomous spiders, more traps will be triggered! More poisonous needles will be shot out shortly." The golden python, sensing the killing of spiders, quickly alerted Xiao’er.

"We have to move fast!" Xiao’er hurriedly said upon hearing this.
