Chapter 207: Chapter 173: Thousand-Year Tomb 2 - Emperor Qi Yuan_6

Mo Yunchen turned to walk toward Qin Qin, neither of them paying attention to the Stone Coffin, and both were unaware that inside, Emperor Qi Yuan was dressed in Gold-Threaded Jade Clothing, his indestructible corpse unchanged. Inside the coffin were many talismans, and it is rumored that the Gold-Threaded Jade Clothing had the power to resurrect the dead, though no one knew if this was true or not.

Qin Qin searched everywhere. As no one had entered for a thousand years, there was a lot of dust. After searching for a while, she hadn’t found the Heavenly Bead.

Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes sharply scanned their surroundings before his gaze settled on the ground to the left of the Stone Coffin. He walked over to that spot, half knelt down, and lightly touched the ground, his face mirroring deep thought.

Qin Qin always felt that there was something off about this Tomb Chamber, the way it was arranged so similarly to her own room, but she felt something was missing. Oh, right, her bed, her favorite Jade Bed. It was a Thousand-Year Jade Bed she had come across by chance. It was said to have the effect of extending one’s lifespan, although she had never had the chance to find out if it was true, but she did like sleeping on that bed because it was very comfortable.

"My bed?! Is my bed missing from here?!"

Qin Qin suddenly blurted out, and Mo Yunchen stood up and walked toward her, lowering his head to look at her, "Hmm, I’ve noticed something strange about this ground. I suspect there’s something beneath it."

Mo Yunchen’s gaze returned to the spot he had touched earlier. Qin Qin approached and her face tensed, "The position does seem very much like where my bed used to be in my room."

But her Thousand-Year Jade Bed wasn’t there. Could it really be beneath? And if so, why hide it underground? Was it to prevent theft?

Qin Qin also knelt down to feel the ground, knocking on it with her hand, producing a hollow sound, indicating an empty space below. With such a large hollow area, there must be something significant underneath.

The question was, how to bring up the thing from below!

Her gaze suddenly turned to a vase not far away. She remembered that there had been a secret chamber in her room, and that vase was the switch. If...

Qin Qin immediately got up and walked towards the vase. She lifted it with both hands and twisted it to the right. The ground began to make noise.

She was delighted; indeed, that person had even replicated this feature!

Her heart felt a touch of complexity.

She stepped back to Mo Yunchen’s side, and together they watched as something emerged from the ground, first a transparent Crystal Coffin, then her beloved green Thousand-Year Jade Bed, with the Crystal Coffin placed on top. A wisp of cold air emanated from the Crystal Coffin, obstructing her and Mo Yunchen’s view. As the cold air gradually dissipated, a corpse appeared in front of Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen.

Qin Qin was shocked, standing there stiffly, staring incredulously at the person inside the coffin!

Qin Qin walked toward the Crystal Coffin, her hands trembling as she lifted them.

Inside the Crystal Coffin, a young woman dressed in white, Blue muslin ancient clothing, with delicate little flowers embroidered on it, draping casually beside her. The woman had stunningly beautiful features, fair skin, eyebrows like ink, eyes like paintings, lips like cherries, truly embodying the saying—graceful as a startled swan and serene as a gliding dragon. She lay there quietly, her lips curved in a faint smile, her stunning beauty awe-inspiring.

Mo Yunchen stepped forward to look at the woman inside the Crystal Coffin. Although her beauty took his breath away at first, after the initial shock, he felt indifferent. He wasn’t a man moved simply by looks.

"That’s me!" She had not expected that person to also place her corpse here to be buried with him.

Hearing that it was her, Mo Yunchen’s expression turned serious, and he looked again at the woman lying in the Crystal Coffin, a girl of about eighteen, much more beautiful than the current Qin Qin. So this had been her former face, radiant and captivating, and indeed worthy of the description of a nation-toppling beauty.

He had not expected that she would have died at an age not much different from her current one! That senior sister who caused her death truly deserved to die. At the same time, he felt fortunate that she had come to his side.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent. Qin Qin looked at her former self inside the Crystal Coffin and felt her heart move from initial tumult to calmness. She was now Qin Qin; Qin Qing had died a thousand years ago. She couldn’t remain immersed in the past.

Master, the Heavenly Bead is in her mouth!

Xiao Fong also remained silent in the space for a while. Its master’s heart was extremely complex, and being connected to her spiritually, it knew what complexities plagued her. Normally, her master would shield it from their spiritual connection when doing anything, but perhaps due to her shock, she had forgotten it, allowing Xiao Fong to directly sense the changes in her mood.

Qin Qin lifted her foot to open the Crystal Coffin and was about to reach in when Xiao Fong’s voice came to her ears once again.

"Master, the reason your corpse has not completely decayed, I suspect, is related to the Heavenly Bead. It’s the Spiritual Energy of the Heavenly Bead and this Crystal Coffin that have preserved your corpse. But if you take the Heavenly Bead out, I’m afraid your corpse will vanish."

Qin Qin’s hand paused in mid-air, Mo Yunchen grasped her hand. He could not hear Xiao Fong’s words and could only ask her, "What’s wrong?"

Qin Qin turned her head to look at Mo Yunchen, "Xiao Fong told me the Heavenly Bead is in my mouth, but if I take out this Heavenly Bead, my corpse will disappear."

Mo Yunchen’s grip on Qin Qin’s hand tightened, but he did not speak.

"Actually, I know what I need to do! I’m no longer the Qin Qing of a thousand years ago. What’s the use of keeping this body?"

Qin Qin gave Mo Yunchen a faint, relieved smile, and opened her once-corpse’s mouth, revealing a dimly colored Heavenly Bead before her.

"In truth, even if I don’t remove the Heavenly Bead, my corpse probably won’t last a few more years. This Heavenly Bead has faded over a thousand years. If it wasn’t for this Crystal Coffin, my body would have probably long vanished and turned into a skeleton."

After finishing speaking, Qin Qin took out the Heavenly Bead and stood erect, looking complicatedly at her serene self, who appeared as if in a deep sleep, and at the faint smile at the corners of her own lips, she took a longer look.

After a moment, the vivid corpse instantly dulled, then shattered into specks of dust that disappeared into the air.

Qin Qin raised her head to look at her vanishing self, a continuous faint smile on her lips.

Goodbye, once Qin Qing!

"Let’s go back!" She threw the Heavenly Bead into the space, letting its dim luster absorb the Spiritual Energy within.

Suddenly, Mo Yunchen grasped Qin Qin’s hand, "Take what belongs to you!"

He did not want to leave a single item for that Emperor Qi Yuan!

Qin Qin was stunned for a moment, then guessed Mo Yunchen’s intent, a teasing smile lifting the corners of her lips, "Master Mo, are you jealous again?!"

A tinge of red appeared on Mo Yunchen’s stunning and bewitching face, which Qin Qin found too adorable.

"Hmph!"

Qin Qin let go of Mo Yunchen’s hand and walked straight ahead, then with a wave of her right hand, her dressing table and wardrobe, as well as the Thousand-Year Jade Bed, all went into her space. She did not take the Crystal Coffin; it did not belong to her, and she would not want it.

Seeing Qin Qin collect all her things, Mo Yunchen’s lips curved slightly, his breath gentle.

"Are you satisfied now?" Qin Qin walked over to Mo Yunchen and said with a smile.

Mo Yunchen intertwined his fingers with hers, raising his head proudly and contentedly, "Let’s go home, I’ve had enough of this place!"

He pulled her hand haughtily as they walked outside. Qin Qin looked back one more time at Emperor Qi Yuan’s Stone Coffin and silently said to him in her heart: I didn’t deserve your kindness. In the next life, fall in love with a woman who loves you, and live well together.

After leaving the Tomb Chamber and watching the Stone Gate quietly close, Qin Qin looked up at Mo Yunchen and gave him a soft smile, tightening her grip on his hand.

And hidden from her view, Mo Yunchen’s lips remained lifted, his mood appearing to be very good.
