The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Lan Yunyan leaned gently against the stone wall beside her, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her rapid heartbeat and disordered breathing.

She could feel every muscle in her body aching, and the intense battle just now seemed to have drained all her strength.

However, an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in their hearts. Their successful victory over a powerful enemy was the result of their joint efforts and a testimony to their courage and perseverance.

Zhao Yu stood up. Although he was extremely tired, as the leader of the team, he knew that he could not relax now.

He looked around and said to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard, but we can't stay here for long. We don't know how many dangers are hidden in the ruins. We must recover our strength as soon as possible and continue moving forward."

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, everyone, though somewhat reluctant, understood that what he said was true. They all braced themselves and began to organize their equipment and check their injuries.

Jiang Fei walked up to Zhao Yu and whispered, "Everyone has been seriously injured in this battle. I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, his eyes revealing determination: "No matter what, we can't give up. We have come so far, we can't give up halfway."

Jiang Fei looked at Zhao Yu's determined eyes, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.

During this short break, everyone helped each other bandage their wounds and shared the little food and water they had left.

Some people leaned against the stone wall with their eyes closed, trying to recover some strength; others chatted quietly, recalling the thrilling moments of the battle just now.

Lan Yunyan watched all this, her heart filled with warmth. In this dangerous adventure, they supported each other and faced difficulties together. This strength of unity made her feel extremely reassured.

As time went by, everyone's physical strength gradually recovered.

Zhao Yu stood up again and waved to signal everyone to get ready to go.

Although everyone was still worried, they followed his footsteps without hesitation.

They continued to move forward in the ruins, and the surrounding environment became more and more mysterious.

The ancient stone walls are engraved with strange patterns and symbols, as if telling a distant story.

Faint light streamed down from the cracks overhead, adding a touch of mystery to the ruins. Lan Yunyan followed in the middle of the group, weapon in hand, always on guard.

After walking for a while, they came to a huge hall.

The hall is a huge circular space with surrounding walls made of ancient and mottled stones, exuding an atmosphere of vicissitudes of time.

The walls are inlaid with mysterious crystals emitting a faint blue light. These crystals are like twinkling stars in the night sky, making the entire space look dreamy.

In the center of the hall, there is an ancient fountain. The base of the fountain is made up of exquisite carvings, depicting various mysterious creatures and ancient patterns, as if telling a long-ago story.

What gushed out of the fountain was not water, but a mysterious liquid that shimmered slightly. The liquid slowly fell in the air like a dreamy drizzle.

Every drop of liquid that falls on the ground will create mysterious ripples, as if it is conducting some kind of mysterious communication with the earth.

There is a circle of huge stone pillars around the fountain.

These stone pillars are tall and thick, with complex runes and patterns engraved on their surfaces.

The runes flickered with a faint light, as if beating to some mysterious rhythm.

The top of the stone pillar is carved with various strange animal images, some of which look like dragons but are not dragons, and some look like phoenixes but are not phoenixes. Their eyes reveal majesty and mystery, as if they are guarding this mysterious space.

The ground was covered with an ancient stone slab on which were engraved some incomprehensible lines and patterns. These lines were intertwined to form a huge mysterious pattern.

When people stand on it, they seem to feel a powerful force coming from the soles of their feet, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.

At the top of the space is a huge dome.

The dome is covered with colorful murals depicting ancient wars, mysterious rituals and fantastical creatures.

These murals are colorful and lifelike, as if showing people a glorious era that has passed.

In the center of the dome, there is a huge crystal ball hanging, which emits a soft light and illuminates the entire hall.

Everyone looked up at the mysterious crystal ball, their hearts filled with awe and curiosity.

The soft light seems to have a magical power that can calm people's hearts instantly.

Lan Yunyan slowly stretched out her hand, as if wanting to touch the light, but she pulled it back the moment she was about to touch it. She was afraid of breaking the mysterious tranquility.

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the crystal ball carefully. He could sense that the crystal ball contained a powerful force, but he couldn't determine what this force was.

Jiang Fei walked slowly around the hall, trying to observe the crystal ball from different angles, looking for possible clues.

Suddenly, the light from the crystal ball flickered slightly. Everyone's heart tightened, and they all tightened their grip on their weapons, looking around vigilantly.

However, nothing unusual happened, and the crystal ball just continued to emit a soft light.

"This crystal ball must have some special meaning." Zhao Yu whispered, "We can't act rashly. We must first figure out its purpose."

Everyone nodded. They knew that in these mysterious ruins, any seemingly ordinary thing could hide great danger.

Lan Yunyan stood there quietly, staring at the crystal ball, and a wonderful feeling surged in her heart.

It was as if the crystal ball was telling her something, but she couldn't understand the meaning.

Lan Yunyan closed her eyes and tried to feel the faint fluctuations with her heart. Gradually, she seemed to have entered a wonderful world.

This is a world full of ancient mystery.
