Chapter 697 Returning to Familiar Places: The Evil Child Re-emerges

Gao Dongxu reached out and picked up the gilded photo frame, feeling the icy chill and the meager spiritual energy emanating from it. He immediately circulated his cultivation technique, drawing all the remaining spiritual energy into his meridians like a whale inhaling.

“Take this back with you too—” Gao Dongxu said, handing the now-dead gilded photo frame to Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun took the photo frame and put the face and photo back into it.

Gao Dongxu raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch; it was around 8:30.

"Pack your things and let's go."

"Yes."

At this moment, Gao Dongxu took out his silent phone and saw three missed calls, all from Xu Qin.

I called her back immediately, and she answered quickly.

Where are you? Why aren't you answering my calls?

Gao Dongxu chuckled. He had to admit that the biggest problem with women who are obsessed with love is that they are clingy.

"We're catching ghosts."

"Huh?!" Xu Qin exclaimed on the other end of the phone. "Are you alright? Did they catch you? Where are you? I'm coming to find you—"

"You've been discharged from the hospital?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Well, it's just a minor injury on my foot. I won't waste medical resources; I'll give the bed to a patient who needs it more..."

In the graduate student dormitory, Xu Qin, who had already put on black makeup and looked like a fairy who had walked out of the mysterious night, pouted and said.

Her black trench coat, with its fitted cut, accentuated her graceful figure, while the black shorts she wore showcased her long, white legs, creating a captivating and alluring look.

Her long, straight, black hair cascaded down, further accentuating her snow-white skin. The smoky eye makeup with upturned corners was the finishing touch, making her gaze even more aloof and mysterious, exuding an air of elegance and sensuality. She perfectly showcased her unique charm, leaving a lasting impression.

"Hehe, where are you? I'll come find you." Gao Dongxu's eyes sparkled with excitement. It seemed he could solidify their relationship before heading to Shandong Province.

"I'll wait for you at the school gate."

"Bring your cosmetics and charger."

"What are you doing~"

Hearing Xu Qin's shy and coquettish voice, Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "Do what needs to be done, do what needs to be done."

"Pah~ How annoying."

Half an hour later, Gao Dongxu opened the car door and looked at Xu Qin, who was standing at the school gate waiting for him.

Wearing a black trench coat and a semi-sheer white camisole, with broad shoulders, prominent collarbones, a straight back, and long legs, she stood there like a dark elf from an oil painting, elegant yet powerful.

She's not a porcelain doll; she possesses a sculpted, grand beauty.

Despite her young age, she exudes the aura of a mature and sophisticated woman.

Her legs are so long that you wonder if she used a long-leg effect, and paired with that innocent yet alluring face, she's practically a real-life human peach.

Moonlight, filtering through the curtains like a silver ribbon, fell obliquely onto the disheveled sheets. Xu Qin lay on her side on the large bed in the hotel suite, the pure white sheet barely covering her curves below the waist, revealing her smooth, jade-like back. Her black hair was scattered on the pillow, a few strands clinging to her sweaty neck.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Gao Dongxu pushed open the door, a white bath towel loosely wrapped around his waist. Water droplets slid down his strong, perfect chest, disappearing at the edge of the towel. He walked to the bedside, his gaze softly fixed on the alluring Xu Qin on the bed.

"woke up?".

Xu Qin didn't answer, only slightly opening her eyes, her eyelashes casting long, thin shadows in the moonlight. Gao Dongxu leaned down, gently brushing aside the hair at her neck with his fingers, and placed a kiss on her skin. She trembled slightly, a languid, satisfied, sweet smile curving her lips.

"What time is it?" she asked, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"It's still early." Gao Dongxu lay down beside her, his arm naturally encircling her waist. "It's only two in the morning."

Xu Qin turned over to face him. In the moonlight, her eyes were like a lake filled with starlight, sparkling. Gao Dongxu couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheek, his thumb gently caressing her slightly flushed cheekbones.

Xu Qin buried her face in the crook of his neck. She breathed in the scent of his body, a blend of shower gel and his own fragrance, a reassuring aroma.

Gao Dongxu's hand slowly roamed over her back, sliding from her shoulder blades down to her waist and back to its original position, as if playing a piece of music that only they understood.

"I really don't want to be separated from you..." Xu Qin looked up at Gao Dongxu with tender affection, pouting and acting coquettishly.

Gao Dongxu smiled and lowered his head, kissing her red lips with a slight nibble. Xu Qin tilted her head back, her fingers running through his short hair. She could feel his body temperature rising again; the bath towel was nowhere to be seen...

As the moonlight gradually slanted westward, the room fell into deeper darkness. Gao Dongxu's breathing became even, but his arms remained tightly around her. Xu Qin gently shifted her body, making herself more comfortable nestled in his embrace.

The following morning around nine o'clock, Gao Dongxu reluctantly took Xu Qin, who had tasted the sweetness of love, back to school and then returned to the Gao Mansion.

After another round of tug-of-war, tenderness, and reluctance to part, Xiaoxue, Su Yan, and Gu Shengnan, who could not follow, were tormented by their consciences. With tears in their eyes, they watched Gao Dongxu leave with A Ning and Ru Xin Ru Qing in a car.

Upon exiting the airport in Linyi, two elites from 749, accompanied by four middle-aged men, immediately came to greet us.

"Chu Chang—"

Gao Dongxu nodded to his two subordinates and then looked at the four people.

"Gao Chu, I am..."

. . . . . .

The four introduced themselves: one from the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, the other from the Six Doors (a government agency), the third party from the local government, and the fourth party from the local coordination team.

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Gao Dongxu said, "Let's go, we'll talk on the way."

“Okay—” The four nodded immediately. Although they were all older than Gao Dongxu, none of them questioned the order.

Although seeing three young and beautiful women with Gao Dongxu made them a little suspicious, no one doubted Gao Dongxu's abilities.

Even though Gao Dongxu had just arrived and hadn't demonstrated any ability, they still firmly believed that he could solve the problem.

This is not blind faith, nor is it an attempt to shift blame; rather, it stems from their complete trust in those above them.

Several people have already died here. The group of tomb raiders who rushed into the ancient tomb took advantage of the terrain and the monsters and mutated insects inside, leaving them helpless and covered in dust.

So when they learned that their superiors had directly dispatched a mysterious, secret department head they had never heard of before, they felt helpless, astonished, and shocked.

On the train from Linyi to Pingyi, Gao Dongxu listened to a very detailed report.

In fact, for Gao Dongxu, it made no difference whether the report was detailed or not.

His reason for revisiting the place was that the Seven Star Lu Palace, as the most crucial location in the Tomb Raider storyline, had been explored in a rather simplistic and crude manner.

It is important to know that not only did the burial objects of the first tomb owner, King Mu of Zhou, contain many precious artifacts and clues, but they also revealed the ancient royal family's pursuit and exploration of the secret of immortality.

The wealth and precious items accumulated by Lu Shangwang, the master tomb raider who usurped the throne, must have been countless.

However, when I visited last time, although there were quite a few burial goods in the side chambers, it was a joke compared to the wealth that the two generations of tomb owners should have accumulated.

Of course, Gao Dongxu had also considered using the layout of the Lu Palace to illustrate how Wang Zanghai had taken away most of the treasures to establish his family and control the world.

However, he wouldn't give up until he dug three feet into the ground and carefully plowed the soil.

With the national team involved this time, we can confidently and boldly recruit talent.

Besides finding the treasure, another purpose was to find the coffin at the entrance where King Mu of Zhou had become a blood corpse.

The evil child needs this blood corpse to advance in order to prepare for the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

If Gao Dongxu remembered correctly, there was a child demon hiding in the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top. This little demon was not only very intelligent, but also never showed himself. However, he had tricked and killed many people, including Wu Xie, who almost died as well.

This clearly shows how troublesome and powerful that little devil is. Therefore, Gao Dongxu plans to let the evil child advance in rank so that he can have a good fight with that little devil.

If the evil child is able to devour the little demon in the end, it is believed that the demon will also gain some intelligence.

Of course, this is just Gao Dongxu's wishful thinking; whether he can succeed depends on luck.

Gao Dongxu and his group did not stop for a moment and arrived at the large camp in the wild as soon as possible to take over everything.

Gao Dongxu, along with A Ning, the two sisters Ru Xin and Ru Qing, as well as Fu Gui, Fu Sheng, and Er Pang, stood once again at the crevice in the ground where they had escaped by following the branches of the Nine-Headed Cypress.

Looking down at the burn marks, it was impossible to confirm whether the Hydra Cypress was still alive.

"I'll lead my men down this way. We'll feign an attack from the front, while I lead my men to ambush from behind. With a pincer movement, we can easily eliminate the tomb robbers," A Ning suggested to Gao Dongxu.

"It's too troublesome, and there's bound to be casualties. I came here to prevent any casualties, so let Xie Tong play with them instead," Gao Dongxu said with a wicked smile.
