Smart as she is, Ziyan understands the underlying meaning of the words perfectly; she is no longer afraid of lacking money!
Not fearing a shortage of money naturally means she doesn't have to care too much about these external possessions that are not earned through her own labor. To put it another way, if someone with ulterior motives were to try to seize this treasure from her, they could simply hand it over to the national treasury. Even if those people had extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't dare to oppose the entire Nanchu Kingdom!
With this thought in mind, a radiant smile like sunshine appeared on Ziyan's face.
Then she looked at her beloved again; it was still this guy whose mind reacted the fastest and most sensitively.
Since there were no more concerns, they should quickly lead the others to explore the treasure!
It was better to take action immediately rather than just speculate in her mind! Following that, Ziyan pulled her beloved and led the ever-following Xingchen, taking swift steps towards the place where light shone.
Soon, Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan arrived at the entrance of the Cave, which emitted several different colors of light.
After pausing for a moment, she carefully surveyed every direction around the cave entrance and soon discovered that there were indeed no traps or secret passages here. Only then did they hold hands and lead the others into the Cave.
As soon as they entered the Cave, all five of them were stunned by the spectacular scenery before them, standing there dumbfounded for quite some time.
It wasn't until a long while later that they began to come back to their senses.
What lay before them at this moment was an enormous Cave!
Moreover, the basic situation in this cave was quite similar to that of their hometown's treasure: around the Cave were a complete circle of human skeletal remains, while in the center was a mountain-like pile of large wooden boxes, all tightly sealed and larger than the gold mountain in Hengfeng County!
Instantly, Ziyan's heart began to race uncontrollably.
What else could be here? Even if she thought about it with both hands and feet, the answer would soon become clear: this was indeed the location of the second treasure among the three treasures.
Faced with such a large quantity of treasure at this moment, Ziyan firmly believed that Little Python's previous efforts were worth it!
At this moment, Little Python was probably being affectionate with the powerful Purple Python! A mischievous thought flashed through Ziyan's mind.
However, this thought quickly passed through Ziyan's mind. Regaining focus, Ziyan ran a few steps toward a nearby group of large wooden boxes.
She noticed that the topmost box was already covered in thick dust. Closing her mouth tightly, she raised her left hand to shield her face with her wide sleeve and quickly lifted one of the box lids with her right hand.
To her surprise, she found the box filled to the brim with jewelry and jade. She casually picked up a delicate string and realized it was a precious Amber Bead Necklace, with a high-quality Red Coral spaced in between.
Oh wow! This random string must be worth a fortune!
Ziyan stared wide-eyed, almost as if her eyeballs were about to pop out. At the same time, she swallowed hard.
The other men, although equally mesmerized, seemed to maintain their composure. It appeared that these four were the type of calm gentlemen who could keep their cool.
Deep down, they all knew that these items were undoubtedly valuable treasures, yet none of them acted as impulsively as Ziyan, lifting the lids of the boxes.
Perhaps Wu Xiang and Qian Fu were unaffected because they were both sold-out Death Warriors, leaving them devoid of other desires.
But what about the other man, the Exotic Prince Yuwen Yu, who bore deep-seated grudges? At this moment, he merely exchanged glances with his companion Xiao Ling Yuxuan and calmly observed the startled little woman in front of him with a faint smile.
So when Ziyan turned around to gauge his reaction, disappointment flashed across her eyes!
Could it be that only petty people and women are so deeply affected by their thoughts? This ambitious man, who was determined to take revenge and change his fate, remained so quiet and composed at this moment?
Feeling unsatisfied, Ziyan cast her gaze back at Yuwen Yu. With his keen perception, he naturally noticed that Ziyan seemed particularly concerned about him. After pondering for a moment, he easily saw through her little thoughts.
Then, Yuwen Yu gave Ziyan an exaggerated smile.
Ziyan felt a bit embarrassed and ashamed as her thoughts were seen through by others. With no other choice, she quickly averted her gaze...
Damn! It seems she really underestimated this guy.
But thinking about it, it didn't make sense for her to feel awkward. Didn't all of them experience too many ups and downs in life?
So what if they occasionally guessed or saw through some of her little thoughts? Not everything was within their expectations and control.
With this in mind, Ziyan boldly provoked Yuwen Yu with a question: "Doesn't Prince Yu have any desire to possess this treasure?"
"I am not a sage! So to say that I have no desire to claim it for myself would be absolutely impossible. However, a gentleman loves wealth; it must be obtained through the right means!"
Yuwen Yu sneered disdainfully and expressed his thoughts.
"Uh? Oh! So you still have your own minimum principles as a person."
Ziyan appeared to ponder for a moment before showing an expression of sudden realization.
"Of course, but let's get back to the point. Even if this wealth belongs to the leader Prince Xuan, so what? I don't believe that if one day I am about to restore my country, you, as friends who have experienced life and death together, wouldn't offer me some financial help?"
Yuwen Yu seemed to completely see through Ziyan and directly made a bold statement.
After hearing his confident words, Ziyan felt utterly defeated by his argument and found herself at a loss for words to counter him.
She then looked up at her companion, the Monster Ling Yuxuan, who was standing beside Yuwen Yu. However, Ling Yuxuan's expression left her even more speechless!
He had his hands spread out and mimicked Ziyan's usual shrugging gesture without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ziyan was so infuriated by the two men across from her that her lips twitched uncontrollably.
She couldn't understand what these two bizarre men were thinking; it seemed she had become a clown at this very moment!
Immediately, feeling quite upset, Ziyan turned her head away and shifted her body, gazing at the mountain of treasures piled up before her.
It seemed this pile of treasures had truly become a bunch of useless items?
However, just thinking about how Yuwen Yu and Ling Yuxuan's relationship could withstand such a huge temptation, without even a hint of discord, brought a sudden wave of joy to Ziyan's heart. The moment when Yuwen Yu had forcefully confessed to her flashed clearly in her mind again, and it was from that time that she had developed some prejudices against him.
Looking back now, it was indeed her own feminine thoughts that had caused trouble! She hoped he could become one of those tough brothers with her and their Monster goods!
Ziyan wished for more friends in her life, rather than adding more enemies or rivals over such trivial possessions.
...
Next, Stellar Guardian stood guard at the entrance of the cave while everyone leisurely examined the walls surrounding the pile of treasures. However, ultimately, no further discoveries were made.
Ziyan recalled that the third Treasure Map was also in her and Ling Yuxuan's hands, and Heng Yuxiang's corpse was at the first treasure site, so there wouldn't be any other findings here.
This place was simply a treasure hiding spot that was easy to describe but not so simple in reality. With no further discoveries, everyone decided to exit.
Now they were here without even finding an exit; discussing taking some treasures out was pointless.
In the end, Ziyan wanted to prevent everyone from feeling disheartened.
Ziyan took out five treasures from the first box she opened and casually presented them in front of everyone, saying, "Since we are all fated to enter this place together, we have shared a moment of hardship. I will take the lead and let each person keep one as a memento. But remember, once we leave, we must speak cautiously about our encounter today and never mention it to anyone who has not entered this place."
"Oh—"
Suddenly, the men responded in unison, stretching their voices in a prolonged manner, catching Ziyan off guard for quite some time. It wasn't until Ling Yuxuan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the exit of the cave that she snapped back to reality.
"Haha..."
"You guys? So annoying."
As the laughter of the men echoed throughout the Cave, Ziyan quickly realized that they were intentionally showing off and playing tricks on her! Of course, their goal was the same: to help her, a girl who often loved to be suspicious, relax!
The group hurriedly retraced their steps back to the cave where they had originally met. However, Purple Python was at the exit with Little Python. What should they do? The group was suddenly at a loss.
Seeing this, Ziyan could only take out her previous Potion Bottle and distributed two Antidote Pills to each person just in case. This way, if they were attacked by Purple Python again or came into contact with its venom, they might have a chance to save themselves.
Then, Wu Xiang took the lead and reopened the door.
When the door was opened again, there was complete silence inside, which calmed everyone's anxious hearts somewhat.
Thus, Xingchen led the way at the front. Following him was Qian Fu. To encourage Qian Fu and others, Ziyan told him that anyone who had been poisoned by Purple Python once and survived would gain immunity to that poison. They would no longer fear it.
With this reassurance, Qian Fu confidently followed behind Xingchen. The group along with one beast headed towards the left side of the cave that connected to the exit.
