Perhaps this is what happiness feels like.
"Excuse me, but does anyone of you have anything that can illuminate? Like a flint or something like that?" Hua Qianshu, who had been unknown all this time, spoke weakly.
"Hmph." Elder Hua snorted coldly upon hearing this, then took out something similar to a bamboo tube from his robe sleeve, then took off the lid, blew gently a few times, and a flash of fire lit up.
Although it wasn't much better, it was still much better than before. At least the objects I saw were not so blurry anymore.
What on earth is this place? It's so strange.
Nimabo, such a big castle, it can’t be filled with white fog.
When she thought of this, Ling'er felt her heart aching unconsciously.
The owner of this castle is such a spendthrift. He actually let such a luxurious place be wasted like this. It's really outrageous!
Somewhere, a white-haired old man who was playing with birds sneezed twice for no apparent reason. "A-choo! A-choo!" He stretched out his hand, rubbed his slightly red nose, and looked at the weather outside. "Huh? The weather hasn't changed, how can I catch a cold? No, with my level of cultivation, can I still catch a cold? This is really strange..."
Just when they thought they were safe, strange noises suddenly came from all around.
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
They were already in the fog, and their nerves were already on edge. Suddenly, this happened, and everyone was startled, except Emperor Shi Tian.
"Ah!" Ling'er screamed, and Di Shitian immediately hugged her tightly.
The reason why Ling'er had such a big reaction was all for perfect acting, so that Elder Hua's perception of her as a waste would become deeply ingrained.
The three people from the Hua family were also frightened, and Hua Bingnian immediately stood in front of Hua Qianshu.
Then, the sound of flapping wings was heard.
"Don't be afraid, that's the sound of birds singing." The deep voice was like a magnet that had been silent for a thousand years, attracting all things in the world, but also having the effect of calming people's hearts.
This was the first time that someone from the Hua family heard Di Shi Tian speak.
Even though they were all men, they were deeply attracted by this voice in an instant.
Elder Hua was the first to react and coughed a few more times.
“Ahem! You are a bunch of cowardly rats. You are just a machine-made bird, but I scared you into this state. You are worthy of being called useless.” He straightened his body which had been bent down before and continued to shout, “What are you still dithering about? Keep moving forward quickly. Don’t deliberately make a fuss and delay time. Anyway, you will die sooner or later.”
Ling'er slowly got up from Emperor Shitian's arms, and then said tremblingly: "Yes... I'm sorry, Elder... I was too nervous." Then she continued to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the fog and arrived at a crystal house.
Whether it is the floor, the walls, or the tables and chairs, they are all made of sparkling crystals. The whole house is shining, just like the princess' crystal palace in a fairy tale.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Don't get me wrong, the one who exclaimed this time was not our Ling'er, but Hua Qianshu.
But this house is indeed extremely beautiful.
In the center of the room, there is an octagonal crystal platform. Crystal clear liquid flows in all eight corners. Below is a pool.
On the crystal table, there was a piece of ice with jagged edges. Even from such a distance, one could still feel its coldness.
"Thousand-year-old ice!" Elder Hua took a few steps forward, "Then what's frozen inside should be blood rock."
The thousand-year-old ice is clear and transparent, with a blood-red stone frozen in the middle, which looks only the size of a palm.
Elder Hua's narrow eyes revealed a greedy light, and he couldn't help but approach the crystal platform. But after taking two steps, he stopped.
That’s not right. It was too easy for him to get in.
Such a precious treasure should not only be the illusion array at the entrance of the cave. Could it be that there is another mystery on this crystal table
Thinking of this, Elder Hua hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to Ling'er: "You, come here, walk to the crystal platform."
"Oh." Ling'er stood up and walked over, but Di Shitian held her hand tightly. Helplessly, the two of them could only walk over together.
Elder Hua couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
"Oh! You are still a pair of infatuated lovers. In that case, I will make sure you die together later."
Seeing Ling'er approaching the crystal platform, Hua Qianshu was extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to this kind-hearted girl. Hua Biannian saw the worry in his eyes. However, he was useless and could not help them.
The closer he got to the crystal platform, the more irritated Emperor Shi Tian became. He didn't know why, but that familiar feeling reappeared in his mind.
The hand holding Ling'er kept tightening, and even Ling'er felt the pain.
Sensing Di Shitian's nervousness, Ling'er patted his arm with her other hand, and then said softly, "Tiantian, I'm here." (To be continued)
