The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Chapter 175 The Perilous Mine, the Nine Gates Arrive!

When Fang Yun returned to the room, Hua had already woken up.

At this moment, Hua was lying on the bed, legs crossed, happily playing with a piece of gold jewelry in her hand.

Upon seeing Fang Yun return to the room, Hua put the gold jewelry aside, rolled over, lay on the bed, and stretched out her hands towards Fang Yun.

"Fang Yun, where did you go?"

"I went shopping with Seventh Sister earlier."

Fang Yun spoke the truth, took two steps forward, grasped Hua's hands, and gently pulled her up in his arms.

"shop?!"

Upon hearing this, Hua, who was clinging to Fang Yun, pouted and tugged at Fang Yun's ears with both hands.

"Why didn't you invite me along?"

"It's too early. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you. Let's go this afternoon."

Fang Yun shrugged, gently kissed the flower's lips, and sat down on the edge of the bed, placing the flower on her lap.

Feeling the warmth on her lips, Hua smiled and snuggled into Fang Yun's arms, pinching his waist hard at the "530".

"hiss.."

A tingling sensation came over him, and Fang Yun grimaced, helplessly patting Hua's head.

"It hurts a lot, what are you doing?"

"Humph."

Hua snorted coldly, quickly raised her head, and bit Fang Yun's shoulder hard.

Before Fang Yun could even feign pain, Hua reached out and began kneading Fang Yun's face with both hands, just like squeezing a balloon.

"Don't think I don't know, you must have your eye on Xiao Qi!"

"what?"

Fang Yun was taken aback and met Hua Na's scrutinizing gaze, feeling a little nervous and uneasy.

This is... caught stealing food...

"Hmph, it really is true."

Seeing Fang Yun's expression, Hua pouted and pinched Fang Yun's cheek hard.

"Silly girl, why are you so smart today?"

Fang Yun gave a wry smile and tightened his grip on the flowers.

He never intended to hide this from Hua.

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. Once you tell one lie, you have to use countless lies to cover it up. Besides, it's impossible to keep such a thing a secret forever.

I just didn't expect Hua to bring it up first.

Hearing Fang Yun admit it, Hua stopped her hands from messing with Fang Yun's head, straightened up, and met Fang Yun's gaze.

"Huo San Niang is very enthusiastic, but you ignored her. Instead, you got along well with the cold and aloof Xiao Qi."

"Besides, Xiaoqi is so beautiful. If I were a man, I would definitely like her too. There are so many people who secretly stare at her when she walks on the street."

"You figured it out based on just that?"

Fang Yun exclaimed in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Upon hearing this, Hua smiled smugly, raised her head, and said, "There must be something fishy going on when things are not normal. My senior brother taught me that."

"Xiao Qi is just a minor steward in the Huo family. In terms of status, she is not as good as Huo San Niang. Moreover, the Huo family's power is far less than that of Chen Yulou's family. You are definitely not after any profit from the Huo family."

"There's no profit to be made, but you don't object to the Huo family's attempts to win you over, so there's only one possibility: you're after her body!"

Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and asked in a low voice:

"My dear wife, what do you think about this?"

"What else can I think..."

Hua raised her eyes, gently kissed Fang Yun's face, and rested her head on Fang Yun's shoulder.

"I've said it before, I'd be content to spend my whole life with you. You're a man, so you can make these decisions yourself, and I'll support you."

"As long as those women don't have bad intentions towards you, that's fine."

Fang Yun felt a warmth in her heart, rested her head on the flower head, and spoke softly.

"Yes, I will take you with me and protect you for the rest of my life."

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

When they were in Qianshan, Hua brought up this issue herself, saying that he had already given her enough and didn't need to worry about anything else for her.

At the time, he thought Hua was just joking.

Although there are countless nobles and merchants in this world who have three wives and four concubines, which woman can truly be indifferent to such matters?

All I can say is that Hua gave in for him.

Furthermore, the prevailing ideas of this era have also been a great help.

Otherwise, if this were in the era of her previous life, with Hua's medical skills, she might have stabbed him dozens of times, and in the end, he would only have suffered minor injuries.

Since things had come to this point, Fang Yun didn't offer any further explanation.

What's done is done; there's no need to have a double standard, especially in front of your own wife.

The two remained silent, clinging tightly to each other.

About ten minutes later, Hua broke free from Fang Yun's embrace and tugged at Fang Yun's ear.

"Don't hide it from me next time, or... I'll cut you off!"

Seeing Hua's huffy expression, Fang Yun smiled and nodded repeatedly.

In situations like this, if you're going to get hit, just stand at attention and nod, no matter what the demands are.

Seeing this, Hua nodded in satisfaction. "I'm going to go play with Xiaoqi. You can stay by yourself."

"Oh, right, you're punished to sleep on the floor tonight!"

“…”

Watching Hua's departing figure, Fang Yun sighed.

He naturally knew what Hua was thinking, but her obedient and sensible nature overshadowed his dissatisfaction.

At times like this, he actually wished he were from a wealthy or powerful family; then, taking wives and concubines would be perfectly natural, and he wouldn't have to think about it so much.

But the matter was finally resolved, which relieved him.

.............................

In the afternoon, Hua brought Seventh Sister over and invited Fang Yun to go shopping.

Perhaps it was because of what happened this morning, or perhaps Hua and the Seventh Sister had something to say to each other.

The Seventh Sister looked at Fang Yun with a slightly evasive gaze, while Hua looked at Fang Yun with a smug expression.

As if they had planned it together, the two ignored Fang Yun for the entire afternoon, except when it came time to pay the bill.

Fang Yun was completely reduced to a tool, spending the entire afternoon doing only three things: following along, paying the bill, and picking up the goods.

This time, however, Fang Yun was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Because he sensed that the life he had dreamed of in his past life might be about to begin.

As the sun set, the three's shopping trip was disrupted.

A car with a cuckoo pattern engraved on its door stopped in front of the three people, blocking their way.

A member of the Huo family, dressed in a white, close-fitting outfit, hurriedly got out of the car and ran to the Seventh Sister. She was covered with an extremely strong earthy smell and a sinister aura.

"Seventh Miss, something has happened to the head of the family!"

"What is it? Explain yourself!"

The Seventh Sister's expression changed visibly, and she asked anxiously.

Her parents died young, and since she can remember, her aunt has been taking care of her. If it weren't for her aunt, her life would be much harder than it is now.

"On the morning of January 1.3rd, the patriarch led us out of the city to explore the tomb. Buddha and Eighth Master were also with us. However, we encountered evil spirits in the tomb, and even the patriarch and Buddha were affected."

"The patriarch, Buddha, and Eighth Master are both at Second Master's residence. Before the patriarch fell into a coma, he sent me to find Seventh Miss, asking you to invite her..."

At this point, the Huo family member paused and turned his gaze to Fang Yun.

Upon seeing this, the Seventh Sister immediately understood.

It must be because of some strange evil spirit in the tomb. Ordinary doctors were helpless to treat the injuries of her aunt and the Buddha. Not only did they ask the Second Master for help, but they also wanted to ask the knowledgeable tomb raiders and mountain movers, just in case.

The next moment, the Seventh Sister turned her gaze to Fang Yun, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

Even Hua tugged at Fang Yun, feeling that she should lend a hand.

"In that case, let's not dawdle and get on with it as soon as possible."
