Chapter 944: Chapter 944: It’s Not Like I’m Not Paying You Guys
“Hey, I’m a girl, you know! Don’t you have even a shred of compassion for a damsel in distress?”
Yaoyao was furious. How could this shaless old man be so oblivious?
Besides, had he forgotten how he promised her not too long ago?
If she didn’t know Bai Xiaofan well enough, Yaoyao would have suspected that he was trying to go back on his word!
“You’re a girl, but you’re not giving a kiss, so why should I protect you? Unless you kiss first!”
Bai Xiaofan smirked mischievously, turning his head to look at Yaoyao with eyes that seed to speak volus, gazing at her with a deep, affectionate intensity.
Shaless!
No sense of decency!
In that instant, everyone ntally filed Bai Xiaofan under categories like these.
Feng Hao, on the other hand, suddenly had an epiphany as he looked at Bai Xiaofan.
Damn!
He learned another move!
“Fine!”
Yaoyao rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaofan coquettishly, leaned in, and gave him a quick kiss.
“That’s more like it. Once we get inside the Underground Royal Tomb, just stick close to !”
Bai Xiaofan waved a grand hand and, without waiting for Yaoyao’s agreent, pulled her directly into his arms.
Yaoyao secretly glared at Bai Xiaofan. So, all this scheming was just to score so points with her. That was definitely the good old impish “uncle” she knew!
Still, it had been quite a while since Bai Xiaofan had held her like this. Sohow, being held in his arms now, she didn’t feel any resistance in her heart!
Everyone else was completely dumbfounded!
What kind of cheeky maneuver was this?
Holy crap!
They had just been thinking Bai Xiaofan was destined for eternal loneliness, but it turns out, this guy was playing a whole other level of ga.
A veteran. Without a doubt, a true veteran!
Feng Hao silently admired Bai Xiaofan in his heart, thinking he was a genius. Without breaking a sweat, Bai Xiaofan had managed to get a beauty to willingly throw herself into his arms. This was truly the pinnacle of flirting skills!
Isis glanced at Bai Xiaofan and Feng Hao, shaking her head disdainfully. No wonder these two clowns had hit it off so well on the plane—they were the sa kind of shaless!
But deep down, she had so doubts about Yaoyao’s actions.
Even though Yaoyao’s cultivation wasn’t that high, at the late stage of Nascent Soul, she still shouldn’t have acted like that.
Could it be that Bai Xiaofan’s punch on Bika earlier had profoundly shaken her?
That was the only explanation!
The truck drove on for a long ti—so long that Bai Xiaofan and the rest nearly thought an entire century had passed.
Many people had already started to doze off, leaving only Bai Xiaofan and Isis alert.
Bai Xiaofan was using every spare mont to diligently train.
anwhile, Isis was holding a map, intently studying sothing.
Suddenly, the truck ca to an abrupt stop, causing many of the sleeping passengers to lurch forward due to inertia.
“What’s going on?”
Feng Hao, leaning on the shoulder of a young lady, woke up and asked Isis after regaining his bearings.
“The road ahead is impassable. We’ll have to get out and proceed on foot,”
Isis responded curtly, calling out to everyone before taking the lead in disembarking.
The group followed her, heading toward the looming mountain range in the distance.
By now, the ground beneath their feet was entirely sand!
The group glanced at their surroundings, frowning slightly.
Wait, were they already in the Kingdom of Gilt Pyramids?
“Everyone, pick up the pace. Once we cross this mountain, we’ll reach our destination!”
Isis called out, quickening her steps.
Everyone, being seasoned practitioners, deliberately sped up, and after two hours, they finally arrived at their destination.
Only, aside from a dense forest in front of them, there was nothing else in sight.
Wait a minute, weren’t they heading to the Underground Royal Tomb?
Isis entered the forest alone, waving the others off from following her.
Before long, an astonishing sight unfolded before everyone: a few trees ahead moved aside on their own, sliding left and right.
And right beneath their feet, a winding path descending into the earth revealed itself.
“Ryan, take a few people and guard the rear. I’ll lead the way. The rest of you, stick close!”
Isis commanded a burly bald man beside her before signaling everyone to proceed downward.
It was only then that everyone realized Ryan—this bald tough guy—was soone from Isis’s team.
They had initially assud all the people Isis brought along were rcenaries and thought she must not have any personal subordinates.
Now it seed clear that Isis wasn’t so naive after all.
As they walked down the stone steps beneath their feet, Bai Xiaofan’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
These stairs were paved with marble. On both sides of the tunnel, modern electric lights were installed.
What did this an?
It suggested that Isis had been here before.
But if she’d already been here, why hadn’t she just taken what she needed?
Could it an there was sothing so formidable in this Underground Royal Tomb that even Isis, a near-Divinity Transformation expert, feared it and couldn’t handle it?
If that were the case, Bai Xiaofan would have to tread very carefully.
He glanced sideways at Yaoyao and noticed the little fox demon was also on high alert.
In fact, Yaoyao kept casting occasional glances at the stone walls of the passage, as if fearing so monster might suddenly burst out to attack her.
The tunnel wasn’t very wide—just enough for two people to walk side by side.
Bai Xiaofan extended his Divine Sense, letting it cling to the stone walls while observing everything carefully.
“Isis, isn’t this tunnel way too long? And it’s continually spiraling downward. By now, we must be at least twenty ters underground, right?”
An outspoken foreigner ahead of them blurted this out toward Isis, who was leading the way.
“You’re getting paid, aren’t you? Just keep walking!”
Isis replied coldly, her tone tinged with more authority than before.
“Isis, this isn’t about money. Since we’re already here, I think it would be better if you told us more about this place so we can prepare for any unexpected situations and avoid unnecessary injuries!”
Another older man from China, much like Bai Xiaofan, chid in supportively.
Upon hearing the old man’s suggestion, the rest of the group began voicing similar sentints.
After all, greed was a part of human nature.
Everyone secretly wanted to know what exactly Isis was after in this place.
“Alright, I’ll tell you what I know. At the end of this tunnel, there’s a large iron door. The door is sealed with formations on both sides. As for what’s beyond that, I’m unsure because I’ve only ever been as far as the door,”
Isis spoke out loudly after so hesitation.
“But don’t worry. I’ve invited two experts in formations this ti, and I’m confident they’ll be able to break the seals!”
Hearing this, two elderly n from China greeted the group with polite nods.
