Chapter 108 You want this and you want that? How about I slap you twice?
In the dim light, the young man saw a humanoid shadowy figure slowly moving toward them in the dark passage.

"Something's coming!"

He was startled and quickly took several steps back. "It's very likely something from the main burial chamber!"

Jiang Nanxi narrowed her eyes, remaining standing beside the secret passage without moving. "What kind of monsters are in the main tomb chamber?"

"There are no monsters there, only beings more terrifying than monsters!"

The young man said with a pale face, "Last time we went to the main tomb chamber, we saw Wei Ling's coffin, but the coffin was covered with an extremely complicated 'huangchang ticou' (a type of ancient Chinese tomb structure), and these 'huangchang ticou' were covered with old faces of cypress."

The entire main burial chamber was filled with a strange fragrance. We started hallucinating as soon as we entered, and even with the antidote from Huang Bai Lao Lian, we couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

At this point, the young man trembled, his face filled with fear.

"I...I think I saw a phoenix in the main tomb chamber. Wei Ling raised a phoenix as a tomb guardian beast. The phoenix breathed fire and burned everyone to death!"

My master and I were right next to the exit at the time, and we managed to run out in time, thus escaping disaster.

"A phoenix? How is that possible!"

Jiang Nanxi didn't believe it at all.

"The phoenix is ​​a legendary mythical beast that has long since disappeared. Wei Ling lived during the Han Dynasty, and at that time, there was no record of a phoenix descending to earth."

Besides, he's just a mortal mystic master; divine beasts wouldn't even look at him, let alone keep him as a tomb guardian!

In her past life, she was a ghost for thousands of years, and she only ever saw mythical beasts and pets around two people.

One of them was the Lord of the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu, whose mount was a Qilin. The other was her master, the old sweeper of Sanqing Mountain, whose mount was the divine beast Bai Ze.

Wei Ling was the founder of a sect in the mortal realm, but compared to these two, he was not even as good as their toes. How could the divine beast Phoenix guard his tomb?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nanxi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Liu Qingyan, only to see him with a thoughtful expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"How is it impossible?"

The young man's voice came again.

"The Four Divine Pattern Jade Door knocker is in Wei Ling's hands. It is said that this is an ancient artifact that Wei Ling found in a closed secret realm. It contains unimaginable space and can be used to raise many divine beasts. That's why people in the modern Xuanmen sect are so eager to get their hands on it."

This thing was used to raise four divine beasts in ancient times: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. Any divine beast would be attracted to the jade door knocker with the four divine beast patterns. Wei Ling's phoenix must have been attracted in this way.

The jade door knocker with the Four Divine Beasts motif was inside Wei Ling's coffin, which is why the main tomb chamber was guarded by phoenixes!

"???"

This thing is amazing?!
Just as Jiang Nanxi was wondering what was going on, the thing from the depths of the secret passage came over.

The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer to them.

Da da da.

boom--!
The thing came up to them and crashed down. Jiang Nanxi, who was standing at the exit of the secret passage, felt a chill rush towards her.

"Run, run fast—!"

A faint, urgent sound came from the ground.

Jiang Nanxi looked down and saw a living person covered in frost, whose lower body was turning into ice at a visible speed.

A chilly atmosphere continued to descend.

Not long after, that person stopped breathing.

The frost spread from his body to his head, covering his entire body and turning him into an ice sculpture!
The young man's eyes widened, and he pointed at his clothes, saying, "This is someone from the Psionic Bureau!"

The young man glanced into the depths of the secret passage. "So they arrived a while ago, but what happened to him? What did they encounter near the main burial chamber?!"

“You’ll find out if you go and see it.”

Jiang Nanxi stepped directly over the ice sculptures on the ground and walked deeper into the secret passage.

As she entered the secret passage, she felt as if the entire passage was an ice cave, getting colder and colder the further she went in.

The walls were covered in frost.

The young man took a few steps inside but then wanted to turn back. "It's so cold. It's completely different from when I came last time. There must be other mechanisms activated in the main tomb chamber. I...I..."

The thought of how that person had died made him feel uneasy.

That person was from the Psionic Bureau, and the Psionic Bureau is full of cultivators! Even they died mysteriously, which means the situation inside the main tomb chamber is even more dangerous!

Jiang Nanxi sensed the young man backing away, trying to sneak out through the passage to escape, so she grabbed him and pulled him to the front. "You go first."

"..."

The young man cursed a string of profanities in his mind, but fearing that Jiang Nanxi would pick up the coffin and smash him into mincemeat, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward.

Jiang Nanxi glanced at Liu Qingyan beside her and saw that his face was blue from the cold, and his long eyelashes were covered with frost.

She asked with concern, "Teacher Liu, are you alright? Are you feeling too cold?"

"Ah."

He responded softly.

Jiang Nanxi reached out and took his hand; her hand was as warm as a stove.

Jiang Nanxi: "I can share some of my spiritual energy with you, then you won't be cold anymore. Do you want some?"

Liu Qingyan: "Yes."

Jiang Nanxi: "You want this and you want that? How about I slap you a couple more times to get your blood flowing?"

Liu Qingyan:?

Jiang Nanxi: "Two hundred thousand per time."

Liu Qingyan:?

Jiang Nanxi: "Buy one spiritual power and get two crisp, loud, and delicious slaps. I guarantee your face will turn bright red and your beauty will be restored instantly."

Liu Qingyan:?

[Jiang Nanxi, how are we supposed to ship this couple?! Can't you be a little more proactive and give us some free spiritual energy to make Yan Shen feel better?]

[Yeah, yeah, if you did that, your crush would definitely be smitten!]

[Someone else flirts with their crush: Bro, are you feeling unwell? I'll blow on you and you'll feel better!]

Jiang Nanxi to the man: I'll slap you twice.

[That's not all, she even charged for those two slaps, as a CP fan I'm really grateful for (^_^;)]

Liu Qingyan was speechless for a moment, but still said, "Fine, I'll give you two hundred thousand, and I'll let go of the two slaps."

Jiang Nanxi didn't expect him to agree. Didn't this guy have spiritual power?

She felt him rush into the fire.

Jiang Nanxi asked directly, "Don't you also have spiritual power? Why are you buying more?"

"Not much left, we've already used it all up."

A hint of doubt appeared in Jiang Nanxi's eyes.

Now she can be completely certain of this guy's identity; he is the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, and he also possesses the power of the Underworld. But why is he so weak?

Has it not fully recovered yet?

and also.

Does he remember things from the past?

Regardless, it would be foolish not to make money when there is an opportunity, so Jiang Nanxi quickly transferred spiritual energy to him to keep Liu Qingyan's body temperature normal for a period of time.

After transferring the spiritual energy, Jiang Nanxi let go of his hand, and the two continued walking forward.

As she walked, Jiang Nanxi suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her from behind.

She paused, then turned to look back.

Not far behind her, on the ground, there were only the Psionic Bureau members who had turned into ice sculptures; nothing else.

But that person was already dead, turned into an ice sculpture lying motionless on the ground, so there was no way to keep an eye on her.

"There's no one behind me, and no ghosts either. Could it be that my intuition is wrong?"

Jiang Nanxi muttered something, looked away, and continued walking forward side by side with Liu Qingyan.

But the moment she turned her gaze back, that feeling of being secretly watched returned!
