Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 894: Chapter 894: I’m So Unlucky!

Chapter 894 I’m Really Unlucky!

Actually, clearing out the soul worms wasn’t that troublesome. All Long Yue had to do was pour her powerful Soul Power into Li Qingmu’s body, then let that Soul Power travel through him and kill off those soul worms that were harming him one by one.

The process was exhausting, but it didn’t matter; Long Yue had patience.

Just like that, a full half an hour passed before she finally helped Li Qingmu clear out the poisonous insects.

As for those soul worms outside, after realizing these two were not people to be messed with, they no longer dared to approach. Instead, they gathered at a distance and merged into a clump of green mist.

After a moment, Li Qingmu slowly woke up.

Because his soul had taken another hit, he looked a little dazed, but fortunately his energy and spirit were still okay. Wearing a puzzled expression, he looked around and discovered this was still the same place as before.

However, that woman was gone, the green poisonous mist had disappeared, and even the paper figures? Also gone?

If not for the nervous look on the little woman beside him, Li Qingmu would almost suspect he was dead and had ended up in Hell.

"Yue’er, this place..."

"A Mu, you’re fine now. Don’t worry, those were soul worms, I can handle them."

Long Yue hurriedly helped her man up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

Li Qingmu rubbed his brow. His head still hurt a bit. Mainly, everything had happened too fast just now; he hadn’t reacted in time before he was hit.

After being hit, he’d felt dizzy and miserable.

Luckily, his current condition had improved, and Li Qingmu had basically returned to normal.

"Those were soul worms?"

He was utterly stunned.

"Yeah, soul worms! My master taught me about them before. I forgot, but just now I suddenly remembered. What’s wrong?"

"N... nothing! So it was something your master taught you..."

"Mm, that’s right!"

Speaking of that master of hers, Long Yue couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Her master had treated her very well, yet all these years she hadn’t seen him again.

Thinking about it, Long Yue really missed him. After all, he was her master—once a teacher, for life a father, even if...

At that thought, Long Yue hastily shook her head hard. She couldn’t think about this.

Otherwise, her heart would get thrown into chaos.

"A Mu, we have to quickly think of a way to get out of here."

Long Yue glanced around at their surroundings and frowned slightly as she spoke.

Li Qingmu nodded. "Yeah, we must leave. This place... maybe not haunted, but definitely weird. That Princess Mingling—if I’m not mistaken, her body could move because it was filled with those soul worms."

Once his senses had recovered, Li Qingmu started thinking things through and came to this conclusion.

Long Yue nodded lightly. "So it wasn’t some corpse coming back to life at all; we just overlooked this poisonous insect before."

"Where’s that paper Jiang Wen?"

"Over here."

Long Yue went over to the coffin and picked up a small paper figurine from the ground. This paper figurine was the Jiang Wen they’d seen earlier.

"Looks like that Jiang Wen couple must’ve run into trouble too."

The Jiang Wen couple themselves were definitely fine, but someone had turned them into little paper figurines, and they looked so similar. This showed that the two of them had already fallen into the hands of that mastermind.

Li Qingmu didn’t know who had done it, but one thing was certain: their situation was very bad, even worse than his and Long Yue’s.

"How do we get out of this place?"

This was the problem they currently faced, because there was basically no way out—walls on all four sides. How were they supposed to leave?

"There has to be a way!"

Long Yue looked around. Since they could get in just now, then there had to be a way out as well.

"Let’s look around!"

"Mm!"

The two of them started feeling their way around the stone chamber.

With the poisonous insects no longer a threat, they could search boldly and without worry. But still, they found nothing.

"The entrance to this place isn’t the Duanlong Gate, is it? If it is, then aren’t we trapped here?"

After searching for half a day and failing to find any mechanism to open a door, Long Yue suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Li Qingmu’s expression tightened slightly. That... he couldn’t be sure.

"Don’t panic yet. This place..." He thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yue’er, have you felt any sense of suffocation?"

Out of nowhere, Li Qingmu asked Long Yue.

Long Yue was slightly stunned and shook her head. "No... Ah, you mean there are gaps in here?"

"Right. We’ve been here for so long, and this stone chamber isn’t that big, right? Yet we never felt suffocated. That can only mean there’s some passage leading outside or letting air in. That might be our way out!"

Long Yue felt that what Li Qingmu said made a lot of sense, but then why couldn’t they find the mechanism?

...

"Help, sob sob, I don’t want to go in, let me out..."

"Squeak squeak, squeak squeak..."

"...Mom..."

In a passageway, a man was walking down a narrow staircase. He looked around at all the bats crawling and clinging to the walls, and he was on the verge of tears.

He really didn’t want to come in here, but that damned Princess insisted he come. What could he do?

Defy the Princess’s command?

What would that be? Suicide. Absolutely, utterly asking for death!

If he didn’t defy her, that was also asking for death.

Fine. Actually, whether he resisted or not, the result was the same—he’d still be thrown into this place by that merciless Princess. Sob sob...

So here’s the problem: what am I supposed to do now?

So many bats—this is going to be the death of me!

"Ai, I... I’m really unlucky. If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have followed along. Isn’t this just looking for trouble when I had nothing better to do? Now that I’ve come in here, if I can’t get out, I’ll be dying young, won’t I!"

The man muttered to himself, wallowing in self-pity.

He kept walking down, down, down. He didn’t know how long he’d been walking before a faint light appeared ahead.

"Oh, it’s the bottom. I’m in the tomb now. Should I... go in and take a look? Those two must be dead, definitely dead. I... maybe I shouldn’t go in?"

The man’s face was full of hesitation.

"I want to see her bones!"

For some reason, Princess Ying’s words suddenly popped into his mind. At once, the man shuddered all over, then quickly pulled himself together and strode forward.

Either way, he was dead. Wasn’t this what they meant by fortune favoring the bold?

To hell with it!

He walked forward step by step. Ahead was the passage to the tomb; one by one, high-quality Luminous Pearls were embedded along the corridor for lighting. The man kept walking, and soon a door appeared before him.

This door was the same one Long Yue and the others had entered earlier.

Seeing the door, he thought for a moment, then bit his finger and let a drop of his blood fall into the slot in the middle.

Turns out, you didn’t have to use Jiang Imperial Family blood—his own blood worked too.

Once the blood fell into the groove, that patch of runes lit up at once, accompanied by a series of clicking sounds.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

The door slowly opened.
