Chapter 803 A Land of Gentle Comforts, A Hero's Tomb
"What? You caused this mess?"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Director Luo on the other end of the phone immediately changed his tone and pressed for an answer.

"Hehe, that's right, it was the New Moon Hotel that I commissioned to conduct the auction." Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke through his lungs, and chuckled.

"You little brat... is the map real or fake?"

“Of course it’s true,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"If you have this map, why don't you hand it over and just send people over for protective excavation..."

Hearing Director Luo's complaints, Gao Dongxu twitched his lips, rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly, "Give me a break. Those so-called archaeological experts and professors have a group of students following behind tomb raiders, doing salvage excavations, and they're barely scraping by."

Even if they were to search for graves in the mountains, turning the entire mountain upside down, they might not find any.

"Ahem... It's not as bad as you make it out to be." Director Luo said somewhat awkwardly and guiltily over the phone.

"Come on, Director Luo, we both know what kind of people they are. Everyone has their own expertise. They are definitely experts in studying cultural relics and reconstructing history, but when it comes to finding auspicious sites and identifying burial grounds, they are really not good at it," Gao Dongxu complained directly.

"You can't generalize; there are still a few experts who specialize in this..."

"Let's protect it well and let them teach more students. This imperial tomb is extraordinary... Wait a moment."

Gao Dongxu, who originally intended to explain the dangers of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top to Director Luo, stopped talking when he saw Yang Tao and Wu Xiaowei on the Luohan bed looking at him and listening curiously. He didn't want the two women to hear the truth and worry about him.

So after making a few silent gestures to the two women, he went into the bathroom and closed the door.

Two women were left lying on the large bed like scattered pearls.

Yang Tao lay on her side, her long, black hair spreading across the pillow like seaweed. Her eyes were slightly closed, and a faint smile played on her lips, like a cat taking a nap in the afternoon.

Those eyes, which always held a clear, autumn-water-like quality, were now gently half-closed, their eyelashes casting soft shadows on their cheeks.

Round and plump, like a ripe peach, it seems as if a gentle touch would cause it to overflow with sweet juice.

The bare shoulders have soft curves that rise and fall gently with each breath, and every inch of skin exudes the relaxation of contentment.

Wu Xiaowei lay flat on her back, her limbs outstretched like an elegant waterbird. Her beauty was even more striking; even in such a languid moment, her high nose bridge and defined jawline still outlined a breathtaking silhouette.

The lamplight gently caressed her delicate, porcelain-like cheeks, making the thin layer of sweat shimmer like pearls. A few strands of hair clung to her neck, rising and falling gently with her pulse. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically, like the calm surface of the sea after a storm, deep and serene.

"You won't blame me for ruining your time alone, will you?" Yang Tao, who had come upstairs to have extra food, looked at Wu Xiaowei with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"I'm so grateful to you. If you hadn't come up in time, I don't know how much worse I would have been. How could I blame you?" Wu Xiaowei said in a sweet and gentle voice, her voice full of shyness.

She knew her own situation best. Although Gao Dongxu was more infatuated with and favored her, she was limited by her talent. The battery model was incompatible, and the battery life and durability were not up to standard. She often leaked electricity or water.

Hearing Wu Xiaowei say this, Yang Tao finally smiled with relief. It was precisely because she knew Wu Xiaowei couldn't handle it that she chose to go upstairs.

"...That's how it is." In the bathroom, Gao Dongxu sat on the toilet, smoking a cigarette, and reported his plan to Director Luo.

"..." Director Luo on the other end of the phone was rendered speechless by Gao Dongxu's ruthless plan.

"Many people will die..."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. People die for money, birds die for food. We didn't force them to go, did we?" Gao Dongxu sneered.

"...Is it really as dangerous as you say?"

“Director Luo, I have no reason to lie to you. It’s a million times more dangerous than what I know. It’s said that when Wang Zanghai built this imperial tomb, he designed countless traps and hidden weapons. So, if we want to get in, we can only let them clear the way ahead. Otherwise, when we send people to excavate, we’ll have to pay with our lives…” Gao Dongxu said truthfully.

"..."

After a long silence, Director Luo on the other end of the phone asked, "Are you confident you can control the entire situation? We can't let any of our national treasures fall into the hands of foreigners."

"Don't worry, I'll leave them all in Changbai Mountain," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

Director Luo remained silent, sighed softly, and instructed, "Safety first. If it becomes too dangerous, immediately terminate the operation, seal off the mountain, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Hehe, thank you for your concern, Director Luo. Don't worry, I wouldn't risk my life. I'm so rich, powerful, and young; I haven't enjoyed life enough yet. Why would I risk my life?" Gao Dongxu joked. "Hehe, you little rascal, just know your place. By the way, Yao Keke has officially joined 749 after completing her onboarding. But I must say, aside from her slightly low emotional intelligence, that girl is truly a rare genius. I've already assigned her to appraise all the disputed artifacts in the bureau."

"Hehe, let's assign her a female assistant to take care of her daily life. She's a workaholic and often forgets to eat and sleep." Gao Dongxu thought of Yao Keke's hot and sexy body, and how the more ruthless he was, the more adorable and innocent she became. He couldn't help but miss her.

"Okay, I'll arrange it in a bit. Could you come to the bureau sometime? Your 749 compound is basically all set up; as the person in charge, you can't just stay out of the public eye forever..."

"Okay, by the way, Director Luo, I'll need some weapons and equipment for this trip to Changbai Mountain. I'll need your help coordinating with the local authorities then," Gao Dongxu said.

"Hmm, no problem. Do you need them to send any people?"

"Not for now, but we need a phone number that can be reached at any time, in case of any unexpected events, we need them to be there as a backup."

"no problem..."

"Click——"

After ending the call, Gao Dongxu opened the door, walked out of the bathroom, and looked at the two women lying on the bed playing with their phones and looking at him at the same time. He couldn't help but laugh and open his arms to pounce on them.

"Ah~~~"

"Giggle... How annoying~~~"

This afternoon seemed to stretch out infinitely, each second as full as a ripe fruit, overflowing with sweetness at the slightest touch.

They nestled together like this, silent and still, letting time flow slowly between their skin to skin, filled with a contented languor and an intimate closeness.

"Click——"

Yang Tao pushed open the door and saw that the room was dimly lit. She said helplessly to Gao Dongxu behind her, "This girl hasn't even turned on the light. She definitely hasn't moved from her spot and has been writing non-stop..."

"You'd better do something about her. These days, all she does is dream and write. Sometimes she's too lazy to even wash her face," Wu Xiaowei complained helplessly as Gao Dongxu held her slender waist.

"That brat—" Gao Dongxu's lips twitched, but he could understand. Someone who had been struggling for many years would go crazy once they became famous with a single book.

"Nan Nan? Nan Nan—look who's here!" Yang Tao called out as she turned on the light and changed into slippers.

"You're here—why are you back so early today?"

Just then, they heard Tang Nannan's unexpected question, as well as the sound of running footsteps.

"Ah—you're back?!"

Gao Dongxu saw Tang Nannan, with her hair down, wearing a white chiffon top with a large collar and a sheer blouse underneath, completely uninhibited, and white shorts that revealed her long, slender, and beautiful legs, running into his field of vision.

With skin as white as jade, exquisite bone structure, and a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, she was simply a classical beauty who had gracefully stepped out of a painting.

Upon seeing him, Tang Nannan smiled with delight, her eyes crinkling as she opened her arms and rushed towards him.

Gao Dongxu chuckled, opened his arms and hugged Tang Nannan's perfect peach-shaped body as she jumped up and clung to him. Then, looking at her charming and cute face, her crescent-shaped eyes, her high nose bridge, her pointed chin, and her pink lips, he had to admit that Tang Nannan's appearance was even more eye-catching after her face was opened. She was truly invincible.

"The book is a hit, did you know? A huge hit—waaaah..."

Overjoyed and excited, Tang Nannan wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck and shouted excitedly. However, the next moment, Gao Dongxu's big mouth covered her cherry lips.

Watching the two passionately kissing, Yang Tao and Wu Xiaowei smiled slightly, picked up the groceries they had bought from the ground, and headed to the kitchen, leaving the space to the two of them.

The lips parted for a long time.

Tang Nannan's most alluring feature is her shy lowering of her head, her gentle biting of her red lips, and her sweet smile. Her simple, cool, and cute clothes accentuate her youthful radiance, making one feel as if they could melt away with her smile.

However, upon closer inspection, it's noticeable that her complexion appears rather dull, her skin on her pretty face has become noticeably loose, and she looks quite tired.

"Silly girl, even if the book is a hit, you can't push yourself like this and exhaust yourself. Do you remember our promise? Tell me, shouldn't you be punished..." Gao Dongxu looked at the flaw on one of his most beautiful faces with some heartache and scolded her irritably.

Tang Nannan lowered her head guiltily, stuck out her tongue, and then put on a sweet, ingratiating smile. She hugged Gao Dongxu's neck tightly and pleaded in a coquettish voice, "I know I was wrong..."
