first published on sis, Chapter 189:
The small team cautiously circled the buildings outside the ancient city. My mother initially pulled me along, running alongside,
but after realizing I didn't strongly resist, she let go of my hand. The night was too dark, and the rain was pouring
down. Guan Xue, carrying weapons and leading the way, accidentally bumped into the corner of the base of a low building. My mother immediately caught up with the team
, taking on the role of guide. I, meanwhile, stood in the middle of the group, looking around, adjusting to
the new visual world.
Perhaps to Chun Ri and the others, the world around them was nothing more than a pitch-black rainy night. But to me,
what unfolded before me through the Crimson Lotus Eye was an indescribable, magnificent, and strange spectacle…
The ancient city and its surrounding area were enveloped in a pale blue halo, the faint light
extending infinitely into the distance, seemingly boundless and endless. But the further away from the two ancient cities, the fainter the color became. At first,
I didn't understand what the cyan aura was, but as my observation deepened, I suddenly understood its essence…
a "divine domain"! This judgment stemmed from comparing similar halos around my mother's body
. I suddenly realized that my mother's body was also enveloped in a halo.
The aura emanating from her body was extremely vibrant, just like the crimson lotus flame I had implanted in her, resembling a seven-colored
rainbow. The reason I believed this was the "divine domain" mentioned by Ruizong, Wang Lie, and others was that whenever my mother paused
, her seven-colored aura would rapidly attempt to spread outwards, while the pale cyan aura seemed
to repel or even suppress it.
Ruizong had mentioned in his conversation with my mother that beings with divine power would form a "divine domain" within their long-term inhabited area
, much like the natural "territorial awareness" possessed by humans and animals
. Divine domains of beings of the same level would conflict with each other, expelling other divine domains while ensuring the extent of their own. At this moment, my mother
's seven-colored halo clearly "invaded" the "divine domain" of the pale blue halo. The confrontation between the halos
gave me a certain understanding and knowledge of the so-called "divine domain." As for the owner of the pale blue halo, if
nothing unexpected happened, it should be the "Azure Emperor" mentioned on the stone tablet, who had already died. Or perhaps it was because of
the color of this divine domain that the Azure Emperor was given the name "Azure Emperor." 　　I did not approve
of my mother's sudden change of plans, dragging me and Chunri and others away from Sun Cong and Wang Lie's team . Because my mother had promised Wang Lie that she would try her best 　　to find a way out of the Kunlun Secret Realm for the team, although this promise had no binding force. 　　But my mother's current actions clearly betrayed the agreement with Wang Lie... 　　If it were in the past, I would most likely have immediately objected to my mother's change of plans and broken promise 　　, and tried to stop her, but I chose to comply. Because I sensed something unusual about my mother 　　. 　　It's important to understand that while my mother constantly deceived, used, and manipulated those around her, 　　she was, as she claimed, a staunch "contractualist"! For example, her deliberate act of collecting 　　and cremating the bodies of the expedition team led by Sun Chengzhang, who tragically perished, clearly demonstrates her strong sense of trust. Furthermore, she 　　mentioned that because of a promise she made to my great-grandfather, she could only watch helplessly as her 　　beloved, my grandfather, died naturally from old age and illness. While she couldn't 　　bring the dead back to life, she certainly had the power to prolong my grandfather's life, at the cost of his physical transformation into a demon 　　… However, faced with the choice between losing her lover and fulfilling her promise to my great-grandfather, she ultimately chose to keep her promise, perhaps also out of respect for my grandfather's own decision. This further underscores her 　　well-deserved title 　　as a "contractualist." For 　　a contractualist to decide to abandon a promise, with seemingly contradictory reasons, 　　is something I find difficult to comprehend. Furthermore, just now, the moment Zhang Lu appeared on the city wall, I suddenly 　　realized that the power of my Crimson Lotus Eye had been further enhanced… 　　My Crimson Lotus Eye could previously see all sorts of demonic auras, see 　　things that originally required much more light to see in extremely low light, focus on distant targets beyond the range of ordinary people's vision, 　　and even see through certain solid matter under certain circumstances. But I had never seen the 　　"Divine Realm Aura" that appeared before my eyes at this moment! 　　And when I saw Zhang Lu's figure being manipulated by something on the city wall, I suddenly felt an 　　indescribable fear! In those few short seconds, an immense pressure almost made me breathless, and 　　I even panicked because of it. Therefore, I did not join Huang and Wang in attacking. It wasn't that I didn't want to, 　　but because I almost lost the will to attack at that time… However, this was not a bad thing. If I had also 　　joined in the attack at that time, Zhang Lu would most likely have died on the spot. At the same time, under that pressure of fear, I 　　suddenly activated the even more powerful ability of the Crimson Lotus Eye… to observe the "Divine Realm". 　　This newly acquired power allowed me to see clearly the inky black shadows surrounding Zhang Lu's body, 　　and at the same time, it made me notice the multicolored light surrounding my mother and the azure halo permeating the surrounding space. 　　This new power gave me a certain degree of confidence, which, combined with my suspicion of my mother's unusual behavior, ultimately led me to choose to 　　temporarily follow and obey her. I wanted to understand the specific reason for my mother's current abnormality… For some reason, 　　I instinctively felt that my mother's previous actions and current decisions did not seem to reflect her true will. 　　Especially after seeing that shadowy presence on Zhang Lu, this further confirmed my belief. 　　Of course, the key to truly reassuring me to secretly leave the ancient city with my mother was 　　the few words Wang Lie whispered rapidly in my ear as she dragged me down the city wall. 　　"...about...her...Old Huang…" 　　Because it was only a fleeting brush, I only heard these words. It wasn't until my mother led me 　　to meet up with Chunri and the others and climbed the city wall from another set of steps that I realized Wang Lie seemed to have said:

"Let her have her way, Old Huang can handle it." That was all. After realizing that my mother was actually planning to sneak us out of
the city, I understood that Wang Lie must have guessed her next move. He said that to tell me to go along with her
wishes, and as long as I was in her group, they could track
my movements using Huang Yandong's sensory tracking ability.
Although I didn't understand how Wang Lie figured out that my mother planned to sneak me out,
I pretended to be oblivious and let my mother lead me out of the ancient city, knowing that he was already on guard.
Now that I had adjusted to the strange vision under the Crimson Lotus Eye, I focused more on
my mother at the front, leading the group, weaving and dodging between various rammed earth and giant stone buildings. The dark rainy night certainly didn't obstruct her
vision at all, but what I was more concerned about was the dark cloud of energy that clung to her back within her seven-colored aura, sometimes
gathering and sometimes dissipating...
because that dark cloud of energy seemed to me to be the same thing that had occupied Zhang Lu's entire body before
. Not only that, but I had observed that black aura more than once before.
Xia Yatou transformed and took to the air, and I rushed into the courtyard. When I looked up at Xia Jiang, I saw
the dazzling white light emanating from her body repelling something dark from her surroundings, like dew
evaporating instantly in the sunlight. Then, when I turned to leave the courtyard and looked back at my mother, I noticed
the dark aura on her body.
At that time, I didn't know what it was, and I couldn't observe any other "divine domains" besides that black one,
so I wasn't sure what it was. But now, after seeing clearly the "seven-colored
divine domain" emanating from my mother and the "cyan divine domain" left behind by the Azure Emperor, I'm certain that
the dark aura on my mother and Zhang Lu is also a concrete manifestation of some kind of "divine domain" in Honglian's vision.
As a being with divine power, I don't believe my mother was unaware that she was tainted by the
"divine domains" of other beings of the same level, yet she simply allowed that thing to attach itself to her divine domain power! I
found this hard to understand.
The temple wasn't actually that far from the ancient city, probably less than two kilometers as the crow flies.
However, because of the darkness and the various man-made structures scattered between them requiring detours, it
took us a good ten minutes to reach the temple's main entrance.
Approaching this temple-like structure with its strong Western ancient Greek style, I realized
how striking it was in the rainy night, emitting a soft, dim blue-white
glow in the darkness. It added a new color to my already vibrant world.
The appearance of this light source finally spurred the group to quicken their pace. When I and the rest of the group finally
reached the stone pillars in front of the temple, I understood the reason for the building's glow: the entire temple, including
the pillars in front of the main building, was made of massive, polished fluorite stones. No wonder it
emitted a faint light in the darkness, but this light was insufficient to be seen from a distance.
My mother stood before the stone pillars, her brow furrowed, a hint of discomfort in her expression. I noticed that her iridescent
aura seemed to be suppressed by the blue-white light emanating from the fluorite…
Her hesitation caused the others in the group to stop as well, their gazes fixed
on her. I reached her side, about to ask, when she whispered her
condition in my ear.
“…I feel unwell, very uncomfortable! This structure has a strong repulsive and harmful effect on me!”
“Repulsive, harmful?” I was quite surprised to hear this.
"Yes, repulsion, harm! But I can guess the reason... This temple is built with fluorite, and most
ores have a certain degree of radioactivity. Physical radiation is harmful to you humans too, but it
's even more harmful to us and demons. Humans truly deserve to be called an intelligent race...
...They can even come up with this method, and build such a structure..."
"I see. Since this temple is targeting you, why don't we all go in and find that thing?
You wait outside?" I wasn't being coy; I was genuinely worried about my mother's health.
My mother took a deep breath and shook her head. "As long as I'm not in there for too long, I can manage!"
At this point, my mother suddenly turned to me with a bright smile. "Hehe...that's
one of my skills, you know. Before joining Songqian Pharmaceutical, I changed jobs quite a few times to support Xiaojing. One of them was
environmental testing...others rely on instruments, but I don't need any. Whether a building or renovation meets environmental standards
, I can tell just by walking around. When I left that supervision company, the boss
tried his best to keep me, offering vacations and raises. If it weren't for his lecherous expression betraying
his true intentions, I might have stayed! Come on...let's go in and take a look. I need to inspect this building
! I wonder which emperor or the Yellow Emperor built this house...if it were today, with this
level of radioactivity, the fines would bankrupt them!"
My mother said, smiling broadly, and led the way into the temple. I could see her strain. But since she insisted,
I didn't try to persuade her further. Because no one knew exactly what Mother was looking for, I didn't know. However, as I
followed her into the temple's entrance hall, a strange feeling immediately welled up inside me. Just as Mother had said
, something deep within the temple suddenly appeared, exerting a natural attraction on me… a feeling that was indescribably
wondrous. It was as if my thoughts had formed some kind of connection with it. Without realizing it, I quickly rushed
ahead of Mother, taking the lead in the group.
Mother was startled at first, but immediately understood what had happened. She and the others followed closely behind me
, sighing as they walked. "Sigh… it seems the gap between your abilities and those of the Two Elements is quite significant. That
thing pinpointed this location from several kilometers away, while you only sensed its presence after entering the temple.
Grandpa said that either the Crimson Lotus or the Two Elements would suffice, so my initial plan was to calculate whether or not to include the Two Elements..."
Ji Jin had hesitated before. Now it seems that using Xia Jiang to teleport him here was the right decision. "If
you were to search alone, who knows how much longer it would have taken to find him here?"
Although there was an element of belittling me in my mother's words, I didn't care too much.
While I did harbor a certain inexplicable competitive spirit towards Wang Lie, I knew in my heart that my current mastery and application of my abilities
were far inferior to Wang Lie's. My mother's current sentiments were true, and since they were true, why
should I argue? Of course, the main reason was my curiosity about the items inside the temple; I couldn't wait
to know what this thing that could create a telepathic connection between me and Wang Lie was. Furthermore, I
was well aware of my mother's sudden talkativeness; the building was causing her discomfort and pain, and she was making conversation to alleviate
her discomfort.
The temple was deep and spacious, and the footsteps of those who entered echoed clearly in the halls. Finally, at the bottom of the deepest
corridor of the temple, a very simple four-wheeled vehicle appeared before us.
Judging from its size and appearance, this cart is very similar in design to the horse-drawn carriages of the past. It's essentially a large
wooden plank with axles and four wooden wheels attached to both sides. The front axle isn't fixed to the plank;
it's separate and uses a simple transmission system with an extended steering handle similar to a rudder for steering.
The most striking feature is the two wooden posts erected in the center of the plank, one at the front and one at the back. These posts resemble
human figures; the front post has its right hand raised and outstretched, seemingly indicating direction, while the rear post has its arms
crossed in front of it, looking like a guard standing behind the front post.
"This...this could be the legendary compass cart? Is this what you're looking for?" Neither my mother nor I spoke, but Yuan Fangfang was the first to approach the wooden cart, examining it 　　and asking
uncertainly . 　　My mother didn't answer Yuan Fangfang's question but turned to look at me. After confirming that the vehicle before me 　　was indeed the object that had attracted me, I finally nodded to my mother in confirmation. 　　I saw the doubt in my mother's eyes when we looked at each other. It seemed even she hadn't expected that 　　the item my great-grandfather had repeatedly instructed us to obtain first would be this compass cart. 　　"What's wrong... what did you think we were looking for?" Guanxue, perhaps noticing 　　my confirmation gesture, and sensing a hint of disdain in Yuan Fangfang's tone, 　　replied curtly. 　　Guanxue's tone was sharp, and Yuan Fangfang, being a woman, certainly understood. Raising 　　her eyebrows, she said, "I thought we'd find some ancient artifact like the Xuanyuan Sword or the Pangu Axe! 　　Turns out, this huge temple only has this broken wooden cart! What use is this thing? 　　Can we use it to fight the demons and monsters we encounter? Look at the workmanship, it's so rough, 　　not even the rough edges are smoothed out. There's no artistic beauty at all." As she spoke, Yuan Fangfang even forcefully pushed 　　the wooden cart. 　　The wooden cart was placed flat in the center of the smooth floor. Yuan Fangfang was standing behind it, pushing forward. When she made 　　the pushing motion, we all thought the cart would slide forward on its own. But to our surprise 　　, after she pushed once, the cart didn't budge and remained in its original position. Yuan Fangfang was stunned for a moment, then 　　pushed the back of the cart again. The cart still didn't move. Yuan Fangfang felt embarrassed and 　　tried pushing with both hands... but in the end, she still couldn't move the cart an inch. 　　"Well... this cart is just a decoration, and it's even embedded in the ground." Yuan Fangfang then made 　　her judgment, muttering to herself while spreading her hands. 　　"Embedded? Which eye of yours saw the cart embedded in the ground? You're just not strong enough to push it. I'll try 　　..." 　　At this moment, I suddenly noticed that Guan Xue seemed quite hostile towards Yuan Fangfang. 　　After criticizing Yuan Fangfang, she also ran to the back of the wooden cart and tried to push it. Just like Yuan Fangfang, Lan Jian couldn't move the vehicle an inch despite his efforts 　　. Seeing Guan Xue's face turn red from straining, Lan Jian rushed over to stop 　　her reckless behavior and tried pushing the vehicle. After observing the overall mechanical structure of the cart, he spoke up. 　　"The cart isn't stuck in the ground, but its axles are locked. A gravity restriction has been applied to it, requiring 　　a special method and ritual to unlock the axles and move it." 　　Hearing Lan Jian's words, his mother nodded, giving him instructions. "Lan Jian, 　　I know you're not just skilled in formations. You're also 　　very proficient in restrictions, barriers, and ancient mechanisms. Check again, see where the central mechanism is, and find the specific driving method." 　　After his mother finished speaking, Lan Jian pointed directly to the wooden puppet slightly behind the center of the cart. " 　　No need to check anymore. The central mechanism is this puppet in the back. The way to activate the vehicle is through a blood sacrifice. 　　It requires a specific person to drip their blood into the groove on the puppet's head." " 　　A blood sacrifice?" Hearing Lan Jian's words, I couldn't help but repeat them. 　　The memory of smearing blood on the sacrificial cauldron in the Phoenix Mountain prison to activate the puppet swordsman flashed through my mind. Then, I noticed that my mother's 　　gaze had once again fallen on me. Without hesitation, I took out my Swiss Army knife, walked straight 　　to the cart, cut a small incision on my left index finger, and dripped a drop of blood into 　　the groove on the head of the guard puppet in the back. The blood was instantly absorbed, and the guard puppet immediately made a slight friction sound. The two 　　wooden arms that had been crossed in front of it suddenly separated and then collided violently, making a "thud" sound. 　　The puppet in the front row then swayed left and right twice, then suddenly stopped, its arms pointing towards the temple's exit. 　　Seeing this, Lan Jian gently pushed the cart, and the cart, which Yuan Fangfang and Guan Xue had previously been unable to move, immediately 　　slid forward nearly a meter. Seeing that the mechanism had been activated and the cart could move, Lan Jian clapped her hands and 　　smiled, "It should work!" 　　Seeing the cart move, Guan Xue quickly went to try again, and this time the cart moved easily with her push.

They began to move forward. After pushing the cart in a half-circle, everyone noticed that no matter how the cart turned, the pointing
doll also rotated simultaneously, always pointing towards the temple's exit.
Seeing this, I suddenly felt I understood the cart's true purpose.
Fanzhou, who had been observing from the side, also realized what was going on. "This cart is a guide, a sign. Pushing it, it can guide us to
a certain place. Hmm... what place could it be?"
"The Spiral City!" After Fanzhou asked, several voices simultaneously voiced the same guess.
"The Spiral City? Didn't we see it as soon as we entered this place? Just keep walking towards it
, why would we need a guide?" Yuan Fangfang wasn't among those guessing, so she made a dissenting voice.
"An illusion... the Spiral City we saw was just an illusion! If we
keep moving forward based on sight, we'll probably never reach the real Spiral City!" Yonghui, who was skilled in illusions herself
, didn't seem to have a bad impression of Yuan Fangfang and took the initiative to explain.
"It must be. When we first entered the core area and saw the city, I tried to estimate
the approximate distance between that building and our current location. By noon, we had walked at least ten or twenty kilometers towards it
. But the size and height of that building in my line of sight remained almost unchanged. Moreover, we
've traversed various terrains along the way. Logically, distant scenery should
change with our altitude, but right up until we entered the ancient city, the size of the building and its surrounding scenery remained
constant. I've always been puzzled and couldn't understand what was going on. Now it seems that it was definitely an illusion! Of course,
there's another possibility: that the building was moving and maintaining a fixed distance from us. But is
that even possible?" Lan Jian added appropriately from the side.
"Is that so? You guys are amazing... I didn't even notice these details." Yuan Fangfang said with a look
of sudden realization.
"Clap, clap, clap," crisp clapping sounds rang out in the empty temple, the mother using this gesture to end
the conversation between the women.
"Girls...that's enough of the discussion! Whether your deductions and guesses are correct or not, we just need to follow
this vehicle and move forward according to the instructions to verify them! This place makes me very uncomfortable. Now that we've found the item
and know how to start and operate it, let's set off immediately and not delay any longer." After saying
this, Mother gracefully leaped onto the compass vehicle, stood at the front, and reached out to grab the front-mounted steering wheel. Then she gestured with
her chin at me...
I was a little confused by Mother's gesture and stood there without reacting.
"Hey, you blockhead! What are you standing there for...hurry up and push the vehicle!" Mother glared at me and
gave the order directly.
"Push the vehicle? Me?" I involuntarily pointed to myself.
"Of course it's you! This carriage can't move on its own; it needs to be pushed. And
you're the only man here… Are you planning to let the girls like Chunri, Guanxue, and Fangfang push it?
Hurry up, this is the time for you to prove your worth as a man! You need to understand, a man's
prowess isn't just shown in bed…"
With that, Mother stood arrogantly on the compass carriage, manipulating its direction. I pushed the carriage
forward from behind, while Chunri and the others followed on foot, leaving the temple. As soon as the compass carriage left the temple, the pointing doll
turned to point to the left of the temple. Mother adjusted the carriage's direction accordingly, keeping it aligned with the doll's direction.
After the pointing doll changed direction several times, our small group gradually left the area of the two ancient cities.
Upon entering the wilderness, Chunri, Lanjian, and the others scattered, taking on the responsibility of
protecting and guarding the compass carriage. Seeing them move away, I pushed the carriage, and after some consideration, finally spoke to Mother, who was leaning against the front of the carriage, and
asked her a question.
"Are you really planning to go to Spiral City to find the Nine Cauldrons with just the few of us? Wang Lie has already agreed to help you,
and his condition is only that you do your best to help the others find a way to escape from here, not that you
have to do it. Is it appropriate for you to leave him, Lao Huang, and those two hundred or so people in Xuanyuan Ancient City like this?"
My sudden question made my mother, who was smiling as she watched me push the cart, pause for a moment, but she then
smiled and gave me a clear answer. "You're right...aren't those people a burden to us now
? Let me be frank with you, Honglian and Liangyi's biggest use in my plan
is simply to find and drive this compass chariot! If you weren't Honglian, I might have tried to win over that Liangyi
guy. But now that we've found the chariot, and you can drive it directly, Liangyi is no longer of any use to me
. Since he's useless, why should I take him along? You know his bad temper
...so self-righteous, acting like he's the only representative of justice in the world! I've never liked him,
and taking him along is just asking for trouble. You're so good to me, my precious
son. You know how to listen to your mother..." My mother said, moving to the back of the chariot and leaning out to kiss me on the cheek.
I was unimpressed by my mother's affectionate gesture and was about to continue trying to persuade her when
the guard puppet in the back suddenly crossed its arms, making a clinking sound. After the noise, the compass carriage abruptly stopped in its tracks
. I pushed it several times but couldn't budge it an inch.
My mother smiled seductively and leaned back against the carriage, then pointed to the top of the guard doll's head. I roughly
understood the reason, so I climbed onto the carriage platform and dripped blood into the groove on the doll's head again.
Seeing the guard doll tap its hands, I confirmed that the compass carriage had started moving again. Just as
I was about to get off, my mother suddenly hugged me tightly from behind. Caught off guard, I was pulled down onto the carriage by my mother's embrace.
My mother kissed my neck and earlobes frantically. The tingling sensation and her alluring fragrance made my heart
flutter. I almost turned around and took her for a quickie. But reason ultimately forced me to
suppress this thought.
"Mom... don't do this, Chunri and the others can see..." I reminded her, suppressing my rising desire.
Mother.
"So what if they saw? Do they dare say no to us making love? My darling, Mommy is
their master. Whatever I want them to do, they have to do it... Hehe, Mommy knows, you're
shy. Don't you like people peeping when you're making love? How about Mommy brings them all over right now, so you can have
a solo dragon playing with a group of phoenixes?"
My mother's unbridled behavior at this moment left me speechless. "Well, isn't Yuan Fangfang still here?
She's not your puppet..."
"Yuan Fangfang? Hehe...you have no idea how slutty she is! If we start playing now, she'll definitely take her clothes off and
join in immediately. You think she's some pure and chaste virtuous woman...don't you think about
how long she's been with that Daye? And how Daye developed so many followers and disciples? Let me tell you,
I tried it out in the Stone Tablet Hall. This girl's skills in bed are better than Chunri and the others. I reckon only
Guanxue can rival her. She's probably better at positions than Guanxue, but Guanxue has inner seduction techniques. It depends on which
aspect you prefer..."
"Stop, stop, stop... Mom! What time is it? Where are we? In the middle of nowhere, we're still getting soaked
in the rain... Do you really want to have a wild group sex session here? You... I don't know, but if I did this, I'd
definitely catch a fever and a cold. I know you have a high sex drive, but you should at least consider the time and place, right?
And... and I'm talking to you about something serious! I won't keep you in suspense... Aren't you a contract enthusiast
? You took us to get this compass carriage and went straight to Spiral City. Have you thought about the consequences
? Are you really planning to leave Wang Lie, Lao Huang, and Sun Ming in this godforsaken place to fend for themselves?"
I adjusted my thoughts, and by changing the topic, I finally
broke free from my mother's verbal temptations and physical restraints, and sat up straight in front of her.
Seeing that I had broken free from her embrace and was sitting cross-legged seriously in front of her, my mother looked disappointed. Or perhaps
the topic I brought up at the end had dampened her enthusiasm. She finally stopped trying to seduce or harass me
, and instead sighed softly.
"Do you really care that much about their lives? Is your mother more important to you, or are they?"
My mother's question was like a knife to my heart! For a moment, I didn't know how to answer...
It wasn't until the people who had been spreading out to keep watch returned to
the vehicle because it hadn't moved that I lowered my head and gritted my teeth, giving an answer that was actually extremely insincere!
"There are more than two hundred people... No matter how important your personal wishes are, I don't think you can just
ignore them like this!"
The others didn't know what my mother and I had talked about, and after hearing my answer,
they just stood silently to the side. My mother, on the other hand, clapped her hands lightly twice with a calm expression. "Hmm, hmm... that's
a good answer! A pretty standard one... consistent with your usual behavior. However, even if I decide
to take your advice and go back with the compass cart and the rest of you to pick up those people, it's probably too late.
Didn't you feel the slight tremor in the ground?"
"W-what did you say?" I was startled at first, then calmed myself and felt it, and my expression changed drastically.
My mother wasn't wrong; I did feel the slight tremor in the ground. The tremor felt
different from the vibrations caused by the giant stone statues walking outside the Burial Valley. It wasn't caused by the movement of a single large object,
but rather by the rapid movement of a large group of some kind of creature...
"Controlling Zhang Lu was to scout out the current situation inside the ancient city. You yourself are a scout; can't
you guess what will happen after the scout finishes?" My mother smiled at me. And her smile at that moment
seemed indescribably sinister and cunning to me...
I suddenly jumped out of the cart. I never imagined that my decision to be clever and follow
my mother's orders would lead to such a result! An indescribable sense of guilt and remorse compelled me
to rush back to the ancient city... even though I knew that returning would be futile.
But I never expected that just as I turned and jumped off the cart, about to run, I was
struck hard on the back of the head. My body spun and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
My mother gave Chunri a look, and Chunri understood, bending down to lift me onto the cart. My mother gently adjusted
my position, then helplessly gave instructions to the women.
"There's no other way... the only man in our team has fallen! I definitely can't push the cart, because I
'm responsible for controlling the direction! So, girls, you'll have to share the work.
Two people push at a time, the rest of you can rest on the cart. Switch every five minutes, it won't be tiring! What do you think?"
After Chunri and the others started working according to the instructions, my mother sat down against me, stroking my
face, muttering to herself, "Trying to outsmart your mother? Dream on... I
snatched your life back from the jaws of death with all my might. How could I let you face death again! What promises, what vows... because
of all that nonsense, I lost Xia, I lost Kangmei! I have no interest in fulfilling my promise to my father-in-law anymore
, because I can't lose you too..."
