Happiness System

Before anyone could stop them, Yu Chi Jinlan had already led his men inside. After a fumbling around, another door in the room opened.

There was still a passageway behind the door.

Hearing the commotion outside, the leaders exchanged glances and, without hesitation, led their men toward the passage.

After the last person stepped into the passage, the two doors closed automatically.

Qin Chuyun looked back and wondered, "Could there have been many hidden passages along the path we took before?"

"possible."

Yu Chi Jinlan took her hand and said, "Don't run around. If you fall into another stone chamber, the door will close immediately, and we may not be able to find the tools to rescue you."

Now, their soldiers are constantly tapping and feeling on the stone walls along the way, and everyone is on guard, worried that there might be hidden weapons or other dangers.

Qin Chuyun and the others were protected in the middle, and upon hearing this, they simply nodded, "As long as they don't cause trouble, I'll definitely behave myself!"

After several more days of wandering, they found other passages in the stone wall, as well as hidden weapons and some scary and disgusting things. Overall, they escaped unscathed.

What remains the same is that they have not yet met with other families and teams, so they are unaware that other teams have already made their gains and are fighting tooth and nail for those things.

Their lives here were very dull. Qin Chuyun sighed a lot and eventually became too lazy to walk. She relied on her husband to carry her like a child and was often ridiculed.

Qin Chuyun didn't care at all!

"Don't you feel like we're quite far from the ground now?"

She felt like she was about to enter the Earth's core!

It felt quite cold up there, and even her thermal underwear couldn't keep up, so she put on all her other clothes.

Right now, she feels warm even wearing just a single layer of clothing.

Moreover, the tunnel path does indeed extend downwards continuously. Although it's not very obvious, we've been walking for quite a few days, so even if it's not very obvious, it should have a limit.

Yu Chi Jinlan nodded, "I feel we are very close to the truth."

Whether it's a treasure or an extermination plan will soon be revealed.

The couple chatted and no one else came over, because the passageway was just too narrow.

As they walked, it grew increasingly hot, and they noticed water droplets appearing on the stone wall...

Qin Chuyun's thought process was different from that of ordinary people at this moment. Her first thought was, "Holy crap, we're really at the center of the earth!" Her second thought was, "Can we drink these water droplets?"

It's no wonder she reacted this way; they hadn't drunk any water during this period, and they didn't dare eat any dry food. They were just surviving on nutritional supplements every day.

Not only have the main account left, even the alt account has left!

After several days, she actually started to drool when she saw water and even spoke her mind.

Qin Chuyun quickly covered her mouth. Could it be that she was lacking oxygen and her brain had gone haywire?

Fortunately, there were many abnormal people, and soon everyone figured out a way to get water and start researching it. The results proved that the water was indeed drinkable!

Everyone collected the water droplets with containers, and after half an hour of fussing, each person only managed to get two mouthfuls.

The water wasn't very tasty, but it was still acceptable; the important thing was that it satisfied everyone's cravings.

After resting for a while, the leaders began to discuss whether to continue their journey.

In reality, they have been forced into a corner and are just pretending to struggle for the sake of finding some humor in their predicament.

After resting for a while and collecting some more water droplets, everyone continued on their way.

As we walked further, the terrain began to slope noticeably, and the temperature rose higher and higher.

Qin Chuyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that this was like being in a sauna, and a dry one at that, with no way to replenish fluids. He figured it wouldn't be long before they died of dehydration.

Thinking to herself, she said something she didn't mean, "Maybe the so-called treasure is hidden in the lava vent below! There might be a surprise in a little while."

Jiang Yu mocked her, "You know how to find joy in hardship, that's a good attitude!"

Yu Chi Jinlan gave him a cold look, "Shut up!"

Jiang Yu didn't care and turned to Young Master He, saying, "I have no human rights in front of this couple. They won't even let me speak."

Young Master He smiled and said, "Once you find someone you like, you'll be even more protective of your own than he was!"

Jiang Yu was already married, in an arranged marriage, but the relationship between husband and wife was very tense. In order to spite his wife, he took two concubines into the family less than a year after the marriage, and often paraded around with his female confidantes.

That guy was no pushover either, always causing trouble and frequently making life miserable for the Jiang family.

He and Yuchi Jinlan got married in the same year, but they still don't have children. Their families' interests are too intertwined to allow them to divorce.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu was not the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and since his family could no longer control him, he was separated from his family.

After that, the couple grew increasingly disgusted with each other. To spite Jiang Yu, the woman would often flaunt her gigolo in public, openly cheating on Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu wasn't angry at all. He took the opportunity to unbind the joint card and the supplementary card, claiming that his money couldn't be used to support a gigolo.

As for his wife's expenses, she can ask whoever wants them. Anyway, he has already made it clear that he will not acknowledge any debts incurred by her!

The Jiang family couldn't accept their son being cuckolded, especially since the other woman didn't even try to hide it. It was a real disgrace to the Jiang family. They arranged for someone to ensure the other woman's basic needs were met, but they didn't give her a single penny of pocket money.

As for how that person's expenses were ultimately resolved, everyone tacitly refrained from investigating.

Jiang Yu spent two years indulging in pleasure and found it boring. He was too lazy to care about family matters, so he simply followed Helian Shengxun and served him. He's doing quite well so far, but he doesn't like going back to his home planet. When he gets busy, he works like crazy.

Whether as his superior or as a brother, Helian Shengxun felt sorry for him and always advised him to go back and communicate properly with his family to get a divorce. As for the Jiang family's losses, he could compensate them in other ways.

Jiang Yu refused. After divorcing that woman, his family would definitely arrange another marriage for him. Whether he compromised with his family or used the Crown Prince's connections to marry a woman who looked similar, it was not what he wanted. He might as well maintain the status quo.

Moreover, his nominal in-laws are now declining, and the cooperation between the two families is no longer equitable. There's no need for him to intervene; the two families will part ways soon. There's no need for the Crown Prince to suffer losses to benefit his father and brothers.

His excuse to the Crown Prince was that he would wait until he found someone he truly loved before asking for a reward, which is why the Crown Prince used this to mock Jiang Yu.

After exchanging a few jokes, Jiang Yu looked at Luo Qian again and said disdainfully, "You got off easy, kid. If I had persisted for two more years, how would you have gotten a share of the Yuchi family's little sister?!"

It refers to Min Ruwei, whose status is equivalent to that of the legitimate daughter of the Yuchi family.

Luo Qian scoffed, "With your playboy ways, not to mention Jinlan, even Ruwei wouldn't be interested in you. She hates philandering men the most!"

Don't let Yu Chi Jinlan's cold demeanor fool you; he actually has quite a few friends. Luo Qian was able to make the list because of his clean and upright character!

Of course, although his parents separated and became two families, it wasn't too complicated, which was a plus for him.

As for Jiang Yu, he was the guy who brought a different female companion almost every time they met, and his family, the Jiang family, was a mess. Even if he was unmarried at the time, Yu Chi Jinlan would have to exclude him first when choosing a brother-in-law!

Luo Qian showed no mercy to his brother, completely forgetting that he wasn't actually very willing to go on a blind date with Min Ruwei back then, because his brother Yu Chi Jinlan was too strict!

Later, it was entirely due to lust at first sight, and it also had a lot to do with Min Ruwei's personality and her progress during that period.

Although he had met Min Ruwei before, Yu Chi Jinlan forbade anyone to make a move on his sister at that time, and Min Ruwei also had a fiancé at the time, so he hadn't really looked at Min Ruwei closely.

I looked him over carefully during the blind date, and his heart was visibly racing...

He knew Min Ruwei was pretty, but he didn't expect her to be this beautiful!

His love has arrived!

While the two brothers were bickering, the young master of the Wen family found their pointless banter incredibly boring. Seeing that a nearby wall was dry, he leaned against it, only to almost become a sacrifice.

After being pulled back by Young Master He, Young Master Wen was startled by the heat wave that hit him and broke out in a cold sweat. "I won't thank you enough, brother!"

Young Master He frowned as he looked at the spot where Young Master Wen had leaned against so lightly, creating a large hole. Through the hole, he saw two contrasting scenes: on one side, scorching red lava churned; on the other, a steaming pool of water, thick with mist, bubbling like boiling water...

The two contradictory scenes, when put together, are surprisingly not contradictory at all.

The two bickering men strode over in a few big steps. "Brother, you've survived a great calamity, you're sure to have good fortune in the future!"

Falling into either of these two 'pools' will be certain death!

After a moment of silence, Qin Chuyun finally asked, "Have we reached the very bottom?"

Several men turned to look at her, then stared in surprise at her feet. "Where did you come from?"

Qin Chuyun smiled at Young Master Wen, "Just now, the restriction loosened a little, and I took out some things without thinking much about it. It only lasted a few seconds, and before I could think about it, it closed again."

Several men paused their thoughts on what was happening over there and came over to look at the things on the ground.

Young Master He raised an eyebrow. "I knew my sister-in-law was hiding something. Look at all this!"

What are they all?

Everything is good!

She really didn't have time to think about it. The first thing she thought of when she noticed the restrictions were loosening was food and drink. They needed to replenish their energy!

Looking down at the things, she felt a pang of heartache. "What a huge loss! Why did I have to take all my savings?!"

Without giving her a chance to regret it, the men divided the loot up in front of her, and then began to ponder the connection between the lava and the treasure.

After a while, Young Master He suddenly turned to stare at Qin Chuyun, "Sister-in-law, you fortune teller! You know that saying the magma in the Earth's core was accurate? Otherwise, if you had pointed in another direction, it might really have been the location of the treasure?"

Seeing that the others were also staring intently at her, Qin Chuyun gave an awkward laugh, "I was just saying it casually. We've been walking downhill for a while now, and it's been about half a month since we started looking for you, hasn't it?"

She peeked over at the churning lava and the hot spring, then quickly pulled back in fear. "Why don't you take some tools and knock on the walls around here? Maybe it's somewhere nearby?"

Actually, there's still a road ahead, but that area is no different from a high-temperature oven; even the toughest warriors can't stay there for more than a few minutes before retreating.

The soldiers who went to scout ahead had skin that was red from the heat, like well-cooked roasted meat. After reporting, they immediately drank two doses of recovery potion.
