Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Completely Innocent!

"Yue’er?"

Li Qingmu also thought of this possibility and quickly looked at Long Yue, discovering she was lost in thought.

He worried something was wrong with her and gently held her small hand.

"A Mu, I’m fine."

Long Yue snapped back to reality, looking at the mysterious man, "Princess Ying from the Xue Country wants my life, but I don’t remember offending her, so tell me, why does she want to kill me?"

"Well, this..."

People should have some bottom line, and this man embodied that perfectly. He could say who wanted to harm the Long Yue couple, but he just wouldn’t say why?

"Not talking?" Long Yue squinted, drawing the green soul worms towards him.

The man shivered at the sight of the green soul worms, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

"Ha, still a tough nut to crack, I thought he was just a fence-sitter before."

Seeing him suddenly act so resolutely, Li Qingmu found this person somewhat interesting; killing him off seemed a bit wasteful?

"Yue’er, let him go."

"Hmm, I was thinking the same thing!"

So, the couple released the man.

Having narrowly escaped death, the man let out a long breath of relief and looked at the Long Yue couple: "At least you have some conscience and know your limits. If you had killed me, believe it or not, the Xue Country’s army would march south and destroy your Dazhou, hmm?"

Long Yue smiled slightly: "I believe it!"

Uh...

Such a straightforward answer?

The man was visibly overwhelmed, judging from their brief interaction, this couple was not easily fooled, but looking at them now, they seemed as innocent as rabbits, making them seem easy to bully?

"You’re a follower of Princess Ying, aren’t you?"

After Li Qingmu put the man down, Long Yue stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Uh, yes?"

The man inexplicably felt guilty, for some reason, whenever Long Yue smiled at him, his legs went weak.

He thought of the term "smiling tiger."

"We still need to go further inside, do you want to join us?"

Long Yue smiled brightly, looking very kind.

The man blinked repeatedly, this place was already dangerous enough, who knew what lay ahead, these two people were simply fearless?

"Don’t you want to see our corpses? If we go further, we might encounter danger and die, wouldn’t that mean you’ve completed your mission?"

Man: "..."

This explanation was flawless, he almost believed it!

But he quickly jumped back a step and said warily, "This place is already at the edge of our abilities; going further really could be deadly, I... I’m not going in any more, goodbye!"

He turned to run, but Li Qingmu raised his hand, a vortex forming in his palm, generating a strong suction force. The man felt a strong force pulling him backward, backward...

"Ouch!"

He fell to the ground again, looking at them with tears in his eyes, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Since you know this place can be deadly, surely you know more secrets, come, go with us, and take a good look!"

Li Qingmu smiled lightly, grabbed the man, and threw him into an open coffin.

Earlier, they didn’t know how to access the next tomb chamber until Li Qingmu suddenly thought of this place, and then the man ran in.

Well, going in themselves might be boring and lonely; having one more person along wasn’t bad.

"Ah... no!"

The man screamed as he fell into the coffin.

Then, Long Yue and Li Qingmu followed him down.

...

Xuan Xu kept moving forward, familiar with these passageways, the route Qi Yun had led them out before, now he was retracing his steps.

He suddenly stopped.

If his earlier predictions were correct, then the Prince and Princess Consort should be positioned at the East Wing, which is exactly where he’s heading.

It’s just unclear which stone chamber they’re in now?

The tomb has many stone chambers, each with different circumstances, some offering chance, others being dangerous, a moment of negligence could lead to death.

Xuan Xu was speechless, not understanding why those two insisted on exploring down here?

Perhaps this is what it means to be father and son?

Both loved exploring dangerously, although Qi Yun had repeatedly escaped danger, he wondered how his son would fare?

"Boom!"

A door appeared ahead, shattered by Xuan Xu, revealing another passage.

He walked over; this passage was beneath the East Wing.

"Hmm, why are the stone doors here open? And not closed?"

Xuan Xu was surprised to see the stone door open, if he remembered correctly, this place housed the soul worms.

He closed his eyes, attempting to sense Li Qingmu’s location.

"What... how did he end up on the floor below?"

Sensing his location, Xuan Xu felt a headache coming on, the area below was even more dangerous than above, yet they went down?

They had a lot of nerve!

After sighing, he entered the stone chamber, looking at the coffin, feeling speechless, had they gone below?

After some thought, he leapt in.

Upon entering the coffin, his body continued to fall, fall, fall, with darkness all around, after an unknown length of time, he landed on the ground.

There was still illumination from Luminous Pearls here, enough to see any surroundings in this dim place.

He observed the thick dust on the ground with footprints, deducing they belonged to Long Yue and Li Qingmu, so he followed these footprints.

...

"This place feels no different from above?"

Long Yue and Li Qingmu walked through a long corridor, looking confused.

Because the layout of these corridors was no different from above, but they had clearly come down, so what was this about?

"I say, let’s head back up quickly? The layout below is the same as above, there’s nothing worth exploring, really, let’s leave now?"

The man’s eyes darted around, considering how to escape this place, but seeing the couple being so reluctant to leave?

No way, if you don’t leave soon, I feel like I’m going to die!

The man truly felt innocent, inexplicably dragged to this unknown place, who knew what would happen next?

"Stop whining, if you don’t stop, believe it or not, I’ll throw you into the most dangerous places?"

Tired of his noise, Li Qingmu coldly warned, pointing at a wheel not far away.

There was a fork in the path beside this corridor, beyond the fork was a huge wheel that if someone got close, would grind them to dust.

"No, no, no!" The man turned pale with fright, quickly waving his hands, "I’ll shut up, okay?"

Damn it, why was he so unlucky?
