Chapter 255: Shut you up with a kiss

The inside of the cave appeared to be dark and hollow; it was not crazy for Chi Lian to assume that something was using the cave as a habitat. Her worry was that if she went in there, would she come out alive?

She had seen enough movies like this, a group of scientists went under water or out in space to explore and they ended up being lunch for a parasite or an alien.

Not to forget all those movies with crocodiles which ate the happy campers? Chi Lian’s mind was working in overdrive, her imagination had been stirred in every negative way possible and she was having second thoughts about entering the cave. Even though all she could see coming in and out of the cave were fish, her heart could not help but anticipate dread.

"T4, I don’t think I want to go in there." She said.

"Host quit being a big baby, if there was any danger around you, I would have detected it already."

"Oh really, this is coming from the system which could not scan the inside of the cave." She retorted.

"We were far, now we are closer and I am scanning again so you can patiently wait for me to tell you what I discover. Play with some fish, gather some shrimp and abalones." T4 explained slowly as if he was talking to a kid.

"Play with some fish he says," she mumbled, "What am I two?" she further complained.

When she was playing with the fish he complained, now that she wanted to get away from the fish he was encouraging her to play, what a two faced system!

"Host you don’t have to worry about any underwater creature eating you, I think what we have stumbled upon is an illegal underwater diamond drilling operation. This cave has some sensors and a hidden camera. I guess someone had the same idea you did, finding treasure." T4 finally said once he finished his scan.

"I was not going to mine the diamonds illegally; I was simply going to take those that are floating around. You read the report; anything small could set off the mountain. We have to dismantle this operation."

"Then I will block the camera so that you can go in and take a look."

Once that was taken care of, Chi Lian swam into the cave with a torch which she bought cheaply from the mall to get a closer look at the illegal mining operation. She was really lucky that she had not found the people behind the operation around otherwise this would turn into an underwater fight pretty quickly.

Someone or a group of someone’s had set up an intricate system to slow mine carefully without being detected. They probably pretended to be divers looking for crabs, lobsters and the like and took advantage of this opportunity to do this.

Inside the cave in there was a cage with a bag which was tied to some rocks, Chi Lian of course opened it and her eyes were met with shiny raw uncut diamonds, about seven of them.

"Well look what we have here." She tsked and touched the diamonds with love. "You are too beautiful to be locked up in here."

She took the uncut stones out of the bag and transferred them to her storage. Stealing from a thief was not a crime; she was simply liberating the stones. It could be considered her payment from the empire for discovering this theft. Rather than take on the burden of destroying all this equipment herself, she decided to report the case and have the proper authorities deal with the issue. In fact, she had access to the highest authority of all.

"T4, can you capture pictures from down here in the water?"

She couldn’t very well report the case without evidence; she had to send pictures along with her report.

"The drones are water proof host; you can also send a video along with the pictures."

She got the only drone left in her storage and captured a video and also took some pictures. She then proceeded to send them to that anonymous number which she assumed belonged to the emperor.

She turned around and swam away from the cave. For now, there was nothing left for her to discover and moreover, it was already twenty minutes past the hour which she promised Muyang to return in. He was probably getting antsy up on the surface.

She swam as fast as she could and returned to the boat. She saw Muyang waiting for her on the deck of the boat. He was anxiously staring into the water, his eyes roaming over the surface like a hawk.

She took the head gear and shouted while waving wildly, "Muyang, over here."

She saw the happy smile that adorned his face once his gaze landed on her and she quickly swam to the rear end of the boat and climbed aboard the boat.

Muyang quickly came with a towel and he covered her. "Why are you so careless? It’s so cold, you should not be running around with any part of your body exposed." He berated her while he vigorously rubbed her body with the towel.

"You were under there for over an hour, just what in the world were you doing down there?" he asked.

"I found treasure." She answered with a giggle. "It’s there." She pointed to her storage container which was still floating in the water next to the boat.

It was the only way for her to transport her small loot without raising questions.

Muyang asked one of the bodyguards to go down and bring the storage box to the boat.

"You will never believe what else I found." She said as he pushed her inside so that she could put on warmer clothes.

As she talked, Muyang did the job of dressing her up.

"Someone is running an illegal mining operation down in the lake, I even found some uncut diamonds and swiped them, he-he," she laughed, "The Gods must be smiling on me, they have decided to repay me since minister Su refused to return my diamonds."

"Uh-huh." Muyang answered absent mindedly.

"I reported the case to the authorities, such thieves should be dealt with ruthlessly, they are endangering the lives of everyone in this town." She continued narrating her tale from under the lake.

"By the way I saw a ghost fish." She also added enthusiastically, I was so scared when it brushed past me, I almost screamed.

"Uh-huh." Muyang answered and he tightly zipped up her thick pink jacket.

"I wonder how much..."

Her lips were suddenly covered with his in a surprise kiss. Her eyes widened in shock, she had not seen any warning before he kissed her.

The kiss started out light and slow, with his lips just grazing over hers and then pulling away but it became sweeter and more intense with every second that passed by.

"What was that for?" she whispered when he tore his mouth away from hers.

"You talk too much." He answered with a chuckle.

The kiss was deliberate, he wanted her to stop talking and just breathe for a few seconds.

"No I don’t." she mumbled.

The smart watch on her wrist alerted her to a phone call she was receiving from that special number and immediately, she answered it.

She spoke to the person on the other end for about a minute before hanging up.

"Is it bad news?" Muyang asked when he saw her downcast face.

"No," she answered. "But we have to cut our vacation short and help the emperor transport the youngest prince back to the capital."

Muyang had questions right now and the one at the top of his list was ’why?’

"It’s a favor that the emperor is asking of us apparently the little prince came for a holiday with his brother the third prince but he accidentally fell into the unfrozen lake and caught a fever. Since we are here, we have been requested to return with the little prince as soon as possible."

As she was finishing up her explanation, some three strangers and a little boy who was pale bordered their boat.

Since they were strangers, Muyang’s guards reacted fiercely leading to a commotion on the deck. Muyang and Chi Lian had to rush outside to handle the matter.

"What is going on here?" Muyang asked sternly the moment he stepped outside.

"It’s these strangers young master, they refuse to identify themselves and they have forcefully boarded the boat with their weapons."
