Chapter 374: Chapter 214: Mr. Li’s Fiery Temper (Two Chapters Combined)_3

Plaiting is really fun.

Leng Jing frowned, clutching her own plait and standing behind Jiang Shouzhong, scowling at Li Nanshuang—the sister was not a good person.

Jiang Shouzhong probably introduced Li Nanshuang to Leng Jing, asking, "Miss Leng, did you see the dragon?"

"A dragon? No."

After being sucked into the dragon egg, Leng Jing had passed out, so she hadn’t seen the young dragon at all.

"You saw the dragon?" Li Nanshuang was shocked.

She had guarded the dragon egg for almost three hours, didn’t see a hair, and almost died— and this kid had seen the dragon?

Without hiding anything, Jiang Shouzhong explained how he had entered the dragon egg to the innocent-looking Mr. Li.

"You silly noodle! You should have said you were hiding in the dragon egg earlier!"

After listening, Li Nanshuang was furious, "I tell you, that explosion was definitely caused by you, you must have practiced the Shell-Breaking Skill, you almost got us killed! You idiot!"

Mr. Li became angrier as he thought about it and ran over to fiercely pluck Leng Jing’s little plait again.

Plaits are really fun.

Leng Jing was on the verge of tears, her eyes welled up.

Jiang Shouzhong helplessly said, "How was I to know things would turn out this way, what do we do now?"

"Forget it, let’s go back and eat something first. That stupid Mugua must be fine."

Mr. Li’s defeatist attitude acted up again.

Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t ignore it, since it was his wife after all.

He wandered around the nearby area and asked Leng Jing, "Miss Leng, could this underground palace still hide some kind of secret realm? Earlier, I sensed that there seems to be a sea region below us, could you try to find it?"

A sea region?

Leng Jing habitually held the cactus close to her chest and carefully observed the still intact underground palace buildings.

Li Nanshuang, with a weird face, leaned close to Jiang Shouzhong and whispered, "Noodle, can this girl handle it? She looks very unreliable."

"You are the one who’s unreliable."

The voice was overheard by Leng Jing, who turned her head and glared at her.

Li Nanshuang gave an awkward smile, and pulled Jiang Shouzhong to a corner to mutter, "Noodle, let’s just go out and find help, relying on a little girl is unreliable."

"Don’t worry, this girl is divine."

Having witnessed Leng Jing’s miraculous abilities, Jiang Shouzhong was thoroughly impressed.

Divine?

Li Nanshuang stared at the girl, skeptical.

After a while, Leng Jing walked to a half-pillar, noted the positions of several pillars, and whispered softly, "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, positioning heaven and earth, mountains and lakes connect, thunder and wind thin, water and fire do not intermingle..."

There should be a Teleportation Array here, but it’s already destroyed.

The girl began to move in a strange pattern.

Now stepping forward three steps, now left two steps... She quickly noticed the scattered stone slabs on the ground.

Leng Jing waved Jiang Shouzhong over, pointed at the stone slabs and said, "This place seems to subtly conform to ’Luoshu Nine Palaces’, wearing nine and stepping one, left three right seven, two and four as shoulders, six and eight as feet..."

"So that’s how it is."

Not understanding at all, Jiang Shouzhong crossed his arms over his chest, rested a hand on his chin, and nodded lightly.

Li Nanshuang listened with a baffled face.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong looking as if he understood, to appear less foolish, she too rubbed her chin, slightly nodding, "Indeed, as I expected, this place subtly conforms to Luoshu... that thing... uh, right, that’s it."

The young girl took out a Copper Coin and gently placed it on the stone slab, striking it with her palm.

With a "boom", the stone slab opened in response, revealing a staircase leading underground.

On both sides of the staircase, intricate Five Elements totems were carved.

Staring at the passageway that appeared before her eyes, Li Nanshuang’s eyes widened, "This works too?"

Incredible.

She looked at Leng Jing with especially admiring eyes.

To express her respect, Li Nanshuang ran over and tugged at the other’s braid.

Hehe, braids are so much fun.

"What are you doing!?"

Leng Jing, puffing up with anger, stared at Mr. Li with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out like a toad that had blown up.

"Uh... nothing."

Li Nanshuang chuckled awkwardly and lightly poked the other’s cheek with a finger.

Puff—

The puffed-up cheek collapsed.

Leng Jing got angry and lunged to start a scuffle, but Jiang Shouzhong quickly held her in his arms to stop her, "Saving people is urgent, let’s save them first, and when we go back, I’ll arbitrate while we fight it out on the bed..."

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?"

The two women glared at the man.

Jiang Shouzhong, sweating, quickly corrected himself seriously, "I mean, let’s find a boat and fight it out, whoever falls into the water loses."

"Hmph!"

Leng Jing broke free, straightened her dress, and cast a sidelong glance at Li Nanshuang before leading the way into the tunnel.

Li Nanshuang wanted to follow, but Jiang Shouzhong held her back.

It’s just a braid, what’s there to tug at.

I have a big, thick braid, why don’t you come and tug at that?

Jiang Shouzhong was speechless at his boss’s childish behavior, watching the swinging braid of the girl in front of him, he couldn’t help but also give it a tug.

Hey, don’t say it, it’s quite fun.

...

The three arrived at the end of the staircase, and the scene before them suddenly opened up.

A cave appeared, adorned by natural stalactites so as to resemble a fairytale wonderland.

Drops of water fell from the ceiling, gathering into a pool, the water clear to the bottom, reflecting the dazzling light from above.

The surrounding stone walls were covered with runes, emitting a faint luminescence.

"It resembles the grotto where Immortals cultivate."

Li Nanshuang’s eyes shone brightly.

She reached out to touch the pool but was startled to find she couldn’t touch it at all, including the falling droplets that seamlessly passed through her palm.

"It must be an illusion."

Jiang Shouzhong said, "This underground palace is different from the ones I’ve encountered before, there must be some secrets hidden below."
