The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Yun Yao and Xiao Cui began their journey of searching for ancient books in the old warehouse. However, the process was much more difficult than they had imagined.

The warehouse was filled with miscellaneous items, including old furniture, dusty boxes, broken farm tools, and some strange things whose uses were unknown. Yun Yao and Xiao Cui could only start searching near the door. There was no trace of ancient books under those small objects that seemed easy to move. As time went by, dust filled the air, choking the two of them and causing them to cough.

Most of the boxes were locked, and the locks were rusty. Yun Yao tried to find a key to open the box, but there was nothing like it around. The locks of some boxes looked simple, and Yun Yao tried to pry them with some crude tools, but she was not good at it after all, and she tried very hard but failed to open a box.

The weight of the piled-up debris was beyond imagination. Once, Xiao Cui and Yun Yao worked together to move a half-person-high old cabinet, which was covered with spider webs and seemed to have been sleeping here for a long, long time. They held the two sides of the cabinet tightly with both hands, using all their strength, their little faces flushed, but the cabinet only shook slightly and raised more dust.

Just when they were a little discouraged, Yun Yao did not give up her determination to find it. She began to observe every corner of the warehouse more carefully, not missing any place where ancient books might be hidden. At this moment, her eyes were attracted by a floor tile in a corner. Although the color of this floor tile was slightly different from the surrounding floor tiles, Yun Yao still found the difference under her focused eyes.

Yun Yao's heart moved, she felt that this floor tile might hide some secrets. She quickly called Xiao Cui, and the two of them worked together to move the huge and heavy box next to them. This box almost exhausted all their remaining strength, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

After moving the box, Yun Yao squatted down and carefully examined the floor tile. She gently stroked the surface of the floor tile with her hand, feeling its texture, and found that there were some tiny gaps on the edge of the floor tile, which was different from the other floor tiles that fit tightly together. Yun Yao's heartbeat began to speed up, and she had a strong intuition that there must be a mystery here.

She began to feel along the edge of the floor tile, looking for a possible mechanism. She pressed and slid her fingers gently in the gap, and every movement was full of anticipation. Finally, after some exploration, Yun Yao found that a corner of the floor tile would sink slightly when she pressed hard. She was overjoyed, knowing that she had found the right direction.

Yun Yao carefully increased the pressure, and with a slight "click" sound, the floor tile slowly moved. She gently lifted the floor tile, and a secret compartment appeared in front of her. There was a faint light in the secret compartment, and that light seemed to tell how precious the secret hidden inside was.

Yun Yao's hands were shaking. She slowly reached in and her fingertips touched something wrapped in cloth. At that moment, her heart was in her throat. She slowly took the package out of the secret compartment and held it in her palm, her eyes full of surprise and expectation.

At this time, Xiao Cui also came over, staring at the package in Yun Yao's hand. The two looked at each other, and they saw excitement in each other's eyes. Yun Yao gently unwrapped the cloth, and an ancient book appeared in front of her. The paper of the ancient book has turned yellow, exuding a faint scent of ink, which is the breath of years. Although the handwriting on it is a little blurry, it can still be seen clearly if you look carefully.

Yun Yao couldn't wait to open the ancient book, but she saw that the text on it was in an ancient font, and she could only understand a small part of it. But even this small part of the content made her feel that this was a rare opportunity. She knew that this ancient book must contain many unknown secrets, perhaps a method of cultivation, or perhaps the historical truth of this world.

In this palace full of challenges and unknowns, this ancient book is like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing hope and strength to Yun Yao. She hugged the ancient book tightly, her heart full of longing for the future. She knew that her destiny in this world might change dramatically because of this ancient book.
