Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 416 Heaven?
Ignoring Chen Wenjin, who was looking at the group with suspicion, even the young man was stretching out his hands.

This is a test.

For someone like the Queen Mother of the West, the word "friend" is the least valuable thing.

A king, especially a queen, cannot have friends.

So-called promises and agreements are nothing but empty words.

Ultimately, although the two sides had many interactions, their feelings for each other remained the same.
Ha, you're kidding me!?
This woman is a true old fox, a thousand years old!
If they discover that the other party has any weakness, neither Hu Ming nor Xi Wangmu would mind leaving them here.

Without equal strength, there can be no equal dialogue.

"Zhang Qiling, my family and your Zhang family have had connections for thousands of years. What are your thoughts on this?"

All superfluous emotions vanished from Xi Wangmu's face, and she returned to her aloof demeanor, her lifeless eyes fixed on the young man who was moving his wrists.

Now that the boring pretense has been torn off, there's no need to continue pretending.

Zhang Qiling was originally one of the Queen Mother of the West's bargaining chips.

"The Zhang family? They no longer exist."

"And Hu Ming is one of my few friends."

The young man looked up and stared directly into the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, speaking earnestly without a trace of emotion.

"But that man came here four thousand years ago and is still inside. As long as he lives, the Zhang family will continue to exist!"

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as the Queen Mother of the West looked at Hu Ming, who was smiling.

More than four thousand years!
Every generation of Zhang Qiling in the Zhang family has come here many times, but no one has ever seen Zhang Qiling change like this before!
""sky"?"

"If he could recover, if I could remember my past memories, I might just kill him myself!"

Unexpectedly, a cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes.

Although his voice was calm, anyone could hear the determination in his tone.

Determined to sever the Zhang family's "divinely ordained" destiny!
"Hiss~ Bro, you've remembered all your past memories again?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Ming disregarded the Queen Mother of the West and looked at the young man with slight surprise.

The last time something like this happened was in the world behind the bronze door!
That's because of the strange power of ancient bronze, but there's no ancient bronze here!
"Meteorite jade and ancient bronze are both extraterrestrial objects, possessing all sorts of incredible powers."

“He is also the most special Zhang Qiling. I noticed it when we met this time. There are more meteorite jade components in his body. It is not surprising that he regained his memories here.”

"He probably ate Wang Zanghai's corpse beetle pill, right? What a lucky guy. Through a series of almost impossible coincidences, he actually achieved perfect immortality."

The Queen Mother of the West explained calmly.

"Hu Ming, you can let go of me now. The pointless probing is over."

"Since Zhang Qiling is on your side, there's nothing I can do about it. Let's continue to honor our agreement."

"And this woman... consider it a gift from me to you."

With a slight sigh, seeing that Hu Ming and the young man were almost of one mind, the Queen Mother of the West reluctantly gave up a somewhat unpleasant idea in her heart.

Originally, if the young man had been willing to help her, the Queen Mother of the West might have had a chance to keep Hu Ming here permanently, taking advantage of the geographical location.

It's a pity that the Zhang family is now a thing of the past.

The last Zhang Qiling is not merely Zhang Qiling who follows the ancient covenant.

The Queen Mother of the West knew that Zhang Qiling, who could even bluntly say things like "cutting down the heavens," would never hesitate to wield his sword against her if necessary.

Hu Ming alone is enough to give the Queen Mother of the West a headache. Adding Zhang Qiling on top of that, the Queen Mother of the West really doesn't think she has a chance of winning.

As for ghost soldiers?
Those substandard products are nothing but cannon fodder in the face of true masters!
"Very good, I admire your pragmatism. No wonder you're an old woman who's lived for five thousand years!"

"It can stretch and contract, that's very good!"

Hu Ming smiled and tossed the detonator into his personal space, releasing his grip on the Queen Mother of the West's wrist.

These aren't normal people, nor are they the kind of gossipy people driven by curiosity.

This method of producing something out of thin air and then making it disappear without a trace will not cause any ripples.

They'd seen Hu Ming's amazing methods before, so one more wouldn't hurt.

"Actually, you're trying to say that she's an old woman from over five thousand years ago, and she's surprisingly timid, right?"

Chen Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief, a perfect, polite smile appearing on her face.

"There's something you've probably forgotten, Wenjin: Xiao Ge and I won't be staying here any longer."

"And you are destined to spend the rest of your days here keeping company with the Queen Mother of the West. I don't think it's a wise choice for you to mock her to her face."

Hu Ming's lips twitched, and he looked at Chen Wenjin with pity, who was somewhat... a bit like a bully relying on her master's power.

Sometimes, if you don't have enough strength, you really have to play it safe and develop your strength cautiously, instead of being reckless!
"I forgot!"

Chen Wenjin's smile froze.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother of the West looked at her with a hint of hostility.

Finished!
"How about... Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling, you don't leave?"

Chen Wenjin looked at the two of them with a humble expression.

"Sorry, you know I'm a scumbag. I have two girlfriends waiting for me outside. I have no interest in staying here with you two married women."

Hu Ming smiled, revealing eight white teeth.

"You should know that once you've entered the Bronze Gate, I need to fulfill my promise one last time and guard the Bronze Gate for you for ten years."

The young man, without batting an eye, pronounced the death sentence on Chen Wenjin.

"We'll have a long time together in the future, and I'll definitely 'treat' you well."

"Of course, you can rest assured that I won't go too far with you because of Hu Ming and Zhang Qiling."

The Queen Mother of the West chuckled softly, then turned 180 degrees to face her body again, adjusting her orientation.

Yeah, he's turning his head with his head touching his butt again.

"Hang in there a little longer. There's a cavity not far ahead. Once we get there, we can take a break."

After glancing at the bloodstains behind Chen Wenjin, Hu Ming closed his eyes, listened carefully, and said calmly.

"kindness!"

Chen Wenjin nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.

She knew that Hu Ming and the young man were in a hurry, and that they had already done more than enough.

It's absolutely impossible to wait for her wounds to heal before moving forward.

However, it would be good to be able to rest for a short while, as her physical strength was nearing its limit.
