Chapter 160: Chapter 159: The Mechanism Holds the Universe

The wild man uncle seemed to have noticed something as well. He turned his head abruptly and saw that the little wolf cub, previously squatting by the tomb entrance drooling over the deer, was gone. His expression changed instantly.

The tomb chamber was large yet empty, and could be surveyed in a single glance.

Without the Little Beast in the tomb chamber, he turned his fierce gaze towards Gu Youyou, baring his teeth with an expression more hideous than that of jackals and leopards.

Gu Youyou felt fear in her heart, but still stood calmly opposite him.

With an innocent face, she shook her head at the wild man uncle, "Maybe it ran out, this wolf meat soup... Ah!"

Before Gu Youyou could finish her sentence, the wild man uncle had already pushed her into the coffin and, with a swift move, had lifted the coffin lid to cover it.

He was in such a hurry that he didn’t seal it completely, leaving a gap the size of a finger.

Dim light shone through that tiny gap, and Gu Youyou stared at those beams of light, speechless for a long moment.

The wild man uncle had already gone to chase after the little wolf cub, whose legs were not yet fully nimble. It was uncertain if it could escape.

But she couldn’t just sit there waiting to die!

She tried to pry at the gap with her hands, but the heavy stone coffin lid weighed at least several hundred pounds—is this something someone with her meager strength could move?

Obviously not.

But the man locked in the coffin with her, since the first time he opened the lid under her seduction, hadn’t opened it again.

No matter what she did or said, he wouldn’t open it. She thought it must be because the wild man uncle didn’t allow him to.

Gu Youyou looked at the dazed man and let out a long sigh, then whispered lowly, "Do you like the wolf cub?"

The man remained bewildered, only staring at her.

Gu Youyou, not understanding why, felt irritated and cursed, "Can’t you even nod or shake your head? You’re both freaks! Here, let Granny teach you."

She pushed on his head, perhaps to vent the unhappiness in her heart for the past few days, insisting that he nod several times.

She continued to grumble, "This is for bullying me, for your dad bullying me, you old pervert. I’m bullying your son now, how about that? If you dare, come kill me!"

After forcing the man to nod several times by grabbing his hair, Gu Youyou didn’t expect the man to get angry and resist.

He shoved her away and turned to look at the gap in the coffin lid. His slender, pale fingers reached in and firmly pulled—it moved the lid.

Gu Youyou was both shocked and overjoyed.

For the past two days, she had tried every means and failed to make him lift the coffin lid. Yet today, in a burst of anger at him, he had done it, a surprise indeed.

She thought to herself: You’re angry, aren’t you? If you dare, throw me out! Hurry, throw me out!

Sure enough, the man obliged her wish. After opening the coffin lid, he scooped her up and tossed her straight out.

Joy came so suddenly that Gu Youyou couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The man glared at her with a fierce expression, which, compared to his typically dull appearance, seemed almost endearing.

Gu Youyou quickly scrambled up from the ground and ran towards the stone door.

This was her perfect chance to escape.

She immediately spotted the distinct leaf and without hesitation pushed hard on it.

However... the door didn’t open right away. Instead, there was a thunderous noise as a round stone the size of a washbasin emerged from the other side.

It was carved with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Plate, and in Chinese medicine, everything is classified by Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. This was not something unfamiliar to Gu Youyou.

But what she didn’t understand was why, when others pressed a switch to open a door, she ended up with this thing instead?
