Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Good heavens, this is so cheesy! So awkward!

Hu Tao reached out and pushed him away, glaring at him.

There are outsiders here!

Jiang Bai didn't care whether Hu Tao pushed him or not; he just wanted to stick close to her.

He placed both hands on Hu Tao's shoulders, their foreheads touching, so close they could feel each other's breath.

"What does it matter? Sister Bao'er will definitely understand us, right?"

Hu Tao blushed a little at his words.

Bao'er's lips twitched incessantly.

This young couple is really something else.

She's about to burst from overeating!

She nodded perfunctorily, "I understand... I'll take you there..."

After saying that, she turned around and led the way, wanting to avoid seeing it altogether.

Honestly, I wouldn't have wanted to bring these two along if they didn't seem to have some crucial clues.

Their public displays of affection are so annoying!

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao walked behind Bao'er with smiles on their faces.

Hu Tao squeezed Jiang Bai's hand, glared at him, and whispered:

"Don't call me Tao Tao!"

"Why?" Jiang Bai tilted his head, puzzled.

Hu Tao's face flushed red. "That's so cheesy!"

Jiang Bai laughed and took her hand in return.

"Tao Tao, are you afraid of it being cheesy?"

Hu Tao pinched his waist expressionlessly.

Jiang Bai gasped.

"I'm not calling anymore! I'm not calling anymore!"

"Master, you can call me Bai Bai, I don't find it cheesy."

Hu Tao got goosebumps all over.

The terms of address are getting more and more nauseating.

"Fuck off!"

"Okay~ Peach!"

Bao'er listened to the two young couples bickering behind her and wished she could cover her ears.

Finally, after walking a long way and entering another ruin, the two saw the wall that Bao'er had mentioned.

"They really do look alike..."

The patterns carved in the center of the wall are quite similar to the patterns they drew with a pen.

Hu Tao walked to the wall and knocked on it, even putting her ear directly to the wall, trying to figure out if there was a road behind it.

Jiang Bai focused his attention on his surroundings, trying to see if there were any traps or mechanisms.

Bao'er kept a close eye on their every move.

“I can feel that the wall is very thick. Although the sound sounds solid, there is definitely a space behind it.”

Walnut didn't actually knock it out; she just sent Little Ghost over directly.

Creatures without physical form, like ghosts, are best suited for passing through walls.

“There’s space!” Bao’er’s eyes lit up.

They had investigated the place when they first discovered it, but they hadn't found any space behind the wall, so they just treated it as an ordinary wall and ignored it.

"How do we get in? I haven't found any mechanisms or anything like that."

"Why don't we just smash this wall down!" Bao'er suggested.

This wall is built against the mountain rocks, and if you want to dig it in from the side, you'd have to use a pickaxe to chip away at it bit by bit.

God knows how long they'll have to keep knocking?

The fastest way is to smash down this wall.

Hu Tao shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't work."

She pointed to the rock formations above her head, "This wall supports the mountain here. If it's breached, this place will collapse."

They are currently in the underground part of the ruins, where these structures, after thousands of years of collapse, are now in a fragile state of equilibrium. Once this equilibrium is broken, they could easily collapse again.

Bao'er had a headache; she couldn't smash it, and she couldn't dig it out right away.

But she quickly calmed down.

This is the Guili Treasure Trove. What does it matter if we dig for ten days or half a month?

“I’ll call my friend to come and dig, to dig a path through from the side.” After saying that, she turned and left.

As she walked away, Jiang Bai knocked on the wall.

"Master, what's inside this wall?"

"Youyou said there is a space inside, where there is an altar and stone statues."

"No treasure?"

"I don't know, we'll have to go inside to find out."

"Once she brings people, we'll rest and wander around the area while they dig slowly."

"Ah."

Before long, Bao'er arrived with more than a dozen people.

These people held manuscripts and hammers in their hands, and their eyes and brows exuded a fierce aura.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao shrank back into the corner, somewhat frightened.

"Sister Bao'er, these friends of yours..."

"I met these friends while I was doing archaeological work nearby. Although they look a bit fierce, don't worry, they are all good people."

Bao'er, who had openly brought her people along, smiled broadly, but she wasn't planning to reveal her true intentions yet.

It's still unclear what's going on inside.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao exchanged a glance and nodded with difficulty.

For excavation work, the treasure-hunting team is a professional.

The treasure-hunting groups in the Abyss of Layered Rocks even dug several underground tunnels directly from the outside of the abyss.

Seeing that the brothers had started digging, Bao'er went to Jiang Bai's side to try and get information out of him.

"Brother Bai, how did you know about the treasure of the Demon God's Return? Was it in some ancient book?"

"Yes, yes. I saw it in an ancient book. The book mentioned that this place was once the territory of the Dust Demon God Gui Zhong."

"During the War of the Demon Gods, Gui Zhong died in battle, and her weapon was left here along with her remains."

"It's said that weapon can directly manipulate dust, and even ordinary people can use it..."

It's easy for ordinary people to use!

Bao'er's eyes shone like light bulbs.

If she can obtain this weapon, who in the treasure-hunting group will dare to disobey her orders in the future?

She might just become the leader of the entire Liyue Treasure-Hunting Group!

At that time, even the Thousand Rock Army will be no match for them!

Leave

I need to take a day off because of something.

Chapter 664 Rejecting Corny Pickup Lines

Bao'er didn't ask any more questions; she got a headache as soon as she looked at a book.

Hu Tao took out a handful of melon seeds, cracking them open as she watched them make the holes, and handed a handful to Bao'er.

"Sister Bao'er, would you like some?"

"...Why did you bring sunflower seeds?"

Isn't it normal to bring some snacks when you go out?

As she spoke, Hu Tao took out another handful of candied fruit and popped one into Jiang Bai's mouth.

"Peach, you're so sweet~ Just like you!"

walnut:"……"

vomit!

Hu Tao's expression was indescribable after being shocked by these cheesy pickup lines.

She couldn't help herself, rubbed the goosebumps on her hands, shifted her position, and created some distance between herself and him.

Where did you learn these sweet nothings? Can't you be serious for once?

And that title.

I told you to stop yelling, but you just kept yelling even louder!

Jiang Bai, that guy, the more you forbid him from doing something, the more he wants to do it. He's always dancing on the edge of her death line.

If there were no outsiders present, and she had to maintain her image, she would definitely give this guy a flick on the head.

But looking at this guy's grinning face, Hu Tao could only sigh.

Sigh, I can only suffer the consequences of my own actions...

Seeing that Hu Tao had moved aside, Jiang Bai also moved to her side. The stone was only so wide; if he moved any further, he would fall down.

Jiang Bai knew when to stop. He took the melon seeds from her hand, peeled the kernels one by one, and put them to her lips.

He deliberately drew out the syllables, "Tao Tao~ Ah~"

Hu Tao stared at him expressionlessly, grinding the melon seeds between her teeth.

"My little white rabbit, call out again~"

Hu Tao wore a smile, but that smile looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it.

Sensing the murderous aura, Jiang Bai stood up abruptly and began to massage her shoulders solicitously.

"I won't call anymore, I won't call anymore!"

"Hmph! Behold my Nine Yin White Bone Claw!"

Hu Tao turned around and pinned him against the wall, tickling his pressure points with both hands.

"Hahahaha...I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Jiang Bai huddled up, laughing so hard tears were almost streaming down his face.

"Hmph! If you provoke me again, I'll tie you up and tickle the soles of your feet with feathers!"

Jiang Bai:==(●0?0●|||)

very scary!

Bao'er: I'm right here, can you please not pretend I don't exist?

I'm so frustrated, I want to kill someone.
