Gao Fei paced back and forth at the entrance of the ancient tomb with his hands clasped behind his back: "Don't disturb , let think this through... You discover the ancient tomb then bring here to hunt for treasure, and we eventually find a coffin. After opening the coffin, we find a female corpse... What's strange is that the corpse is sohow still alive, and possesses terrifying strength that easily overwhelms us... We dug up the ancient tomb, smashed the coffin, and woke the sleeping female corpse... Given her strength, she must be enraged, but why didn't she co after us? With her power, if she ca out, we would have no choice but to run for our lives..."
"Yeah, why didn't she co out?" He Hentian said with surprise.
"Don't interrupt! Listen to !" Gao Fei glared at He Hentian, then continued his analysis: "The female corpse must have so concerns, which is why she didn't co after us. What could those concerns be? You just said that a great amount of sinister Qi was present on the corpse, which is the aura of the dead, yet the corpse is clearly alive, so why would it have the aura of the dead? This question is perplexing, let's set it aside for now... What are the dead most afraid of? They are most afraid of being exposed to the sun! Because the scorching Qi from the sun can destroy the dead's flesh and soul... If my guess is correct, the female corpse should be afraid of sunlight..." Saying that, Gao Fei snapped his fingers: "That's it! The female corpse must be afraid of the sunlight! That's why she didn't dare to chase us out!"
"Your analysis makes so sense," He Hentian nodded.
Gao Fei looked up at the Sun: "Today's sunlight is very strong, isn't it!"
"Yes, indeed it's very strong," He Hentian nodded and said.
"There are still several Hours before the Sun sets, plenty of ti for us to make our move," Gao Fei said with a chuckle.
"Make our move?" He Hentian was taken aback: "What are you planning to do?"
"He, let ask you," Gao Fei said seriously to He Hentian: "Are you willing to just go back like this?"
"I... Of course, I'm not willing," He Hentian huffed: "I've never suffered such a loss in all my life."
"Since you're not willing, we must find a way to turn things around," Gao Fei said: "Teach that female corpse a harsh lesson! Let her know just how formidable we are."
"Teach her a lesson? How can we do that? Together we still can't beat her," He Hentian argued.
"We definitely can't confront her directly, so we can only resort to more indirect thods," Gao Fei explained.
"Indirect thods?"
"For instance, lure the female corpse out into the sunlight," Gao Fei suggested.
"She's not a fool, how could she possibly co out?" He Hentian questioned.
"When people get angry, they can beco irrational, then do sothing impulsive," Gao Fei had already thought of a strategy: "We'll provoke the female corpse as much as we can, make her angry, make her go mad, make her lose her reason, and then draw her out."
He Hentian blinked uncertainly: "She's an old monster who's lived for hundreds of thousands of years, she's definitely extrely cunning. If we go provoke her and she doesn't take the bait, what then?"
"We have to make her take the bait!"
"But what if..."
"There are no 'what ifs'! It has to work!"
"Can you not be so obstinate..."
"Who's being obstinate? I'm stating the facts!"
After a few more verbal exchanges, they began to devise how to anger the female corpse, and after much discussion, they reached a consensus: insult her! Insult her viciously! Every woman cares about her reputation; after being insulted, she'd certainly erupt in fury, and in a fit of anger, she'd co out.
"He, I'll provide cover for you from above, you go down," Gao Fei gave He Hentian the chance to show himself: "To curse an ancient powerhouse, what a splendid opportunity!"
"I can't do it, I'm not quick-witted enough, you should go," He Hentian demonstrated his willingness to yield by giving Gao Fei this great opportunity: "You are more eloquent than I am, you go! Wishing you swift and easy victory!"
"I'm only average when it cos to eloquence."
"Don't be modest."
"I'm not being modest."
"Let's not waste any more ti, let's hurry up and go."
The two kept pushing each other back and forth, neither willing to give in. Finally, Gao Fei ca up with a thod, "Let's go down together, that way we can at least watch each other's back."
He Hentian hesitated for a mont and then nodded, "Alright, let's go down together, but let's make this clear, you're the main character, and I'm the supporting role. You do the scolding, and I'll be there to cheer you on."
"Enough talk, let's hurry up and go down." Gao Fei pulled He Hentian and jumped into the ancient tomb.
...
Deep inside the ancient tomb.
In a secret chamber.
The incredibly beautiful female corpse cald herself and checked her body with care, "Sigh!" she sighed softly, "The situation is worse than I imagined! Vitality is less than ten percent and it's rapidly diminishing. If I can't think of a thod... I'm going to be annihilated."
The thought of dying choked her up a bit.
She didn't want to die, really didn't want to die! She hadn't lived enough yet! Even though she had been alive for hundreds of thousands of years... she still didn't want to die!
The longer people live, the more they fear death!
"I must think of a thod!" the incredibly beautiful female corpse said to herself resolutely, "I absolutely can't resign myself to this fate!"
"Hey! Gorgeous! Can you hear talking?"
Just then, a man's voice ca through, "If you can hear , just say sothing!"
"You scoundrel!" The incredibly beautiful female corpse stood up abruptly, her face dark and fearso, "He actually dares to co back!" With a slight tremble, she disappeared on the spot.
...
At the entrance of the ancient tomb.
Gao Fei was shouting at the top of his lungs, "Hey, beauty! Can you hear ? Just give a sign! Having lived in this ancient tomb for so long, you must be incredibly lonely, right? It's okay, I'll keep you company and chat with you. The one thing I'm good at is talking. Whatever you want to talk about, I can do it, and I won't disappoint you."
"No response, huh?" He Hentian craned his neck, eyes wide, peering deep into the tomb, "Could it be we're too far away and she can't hear us? Should we go further in?"
"Forget about it," Gao Fei said, annoyed, "With her formidable power, she definitely heard speak!"
"Then why doesn't she respond?" He Hentian asked, puzzled.
"Uh... maybe she's just shy."
"Shy?"
"Think about it, she's been alone in this ancient tomb for hundreds of thousands of years, facing the cold sarcophagus every day with no one to talk to. Over ti, her personality has likely changed, beco more perverse, more bashful, less talkative..."
"That sort of makes sense."
"What do you an 'sort of'? It makes complete sense!" Gao Fei smacked his lips, "She definitely heard , she's just too shy to respond. But don't worry, I'll keep shouting. It won't take long before she won't be able to resist talking to ." Gao Fei spoke with full confidence, "Living in a dark tomb for so many years, completely disconnected from society, with outdated thinking, I need to guide her properly, to help her step out of the shadows."
The more He Hentian listened, the more sothing seed off, "What do you an 'disconnected'? What's this 'outdated'? And helping her 'step out of the shadows'? What are all these things, they're all over the place."
"My words are quite profound, it's understandable if you don't get it," Gao Fei nodded slightly.
