After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Lin Shu tried his best to steady himself, but found himself like a small boat on a vast ocean, completely unable to control his own destiny.

As the mountain collapsed, boulders and mud poured down like a torrent, she was of no use whatsoever except to await her death.

Fear and despair eroded her heart like ice; though unwilling, she had no choice but to accept her fate.

Just as she was filled with despair and awaiting death, a dark figure, disregarding the danger of a landslide, rushed towards her like lightning from the chaos.

The figure was nimble and decisive, instantly pulling her tightly into his arms and using his own body to build a life-saving barrier for her.

Lin Shu felt a warm and powerful aura envelop her. She stared in astonishment at the stunningly beautiful face that was breathtakingly beautiful.

The visitor's eyes were filled with worry and relief at seeing her, as if telling her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

With a loud "boom," rocks cascaded down, burying the two of them.

Despite being in dire straits, Lin Shu felt a sense of peace he had never known before.

Perhaps because someone was going to die with him, this time was much calmer than the last time he was blown up.

Lin Shu and his companions were certain to die this time, but unexpectedly, a large rock saved them.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself and Lu Shiyuan lying in ruins.

Lu Shiyuan held her tightly in his arms, his pale face devoid of color.

The pristine white clothes were now stained crimson with blood, making them look both alluring and shocking.

She subconsciously reached out and patted him. "Lu Shiyuan, how are you?"

Lu Shiyuan weakly opened his eyes and looked at her. After confirming that she was safe and sound, a look of relief appeared on his face. "It's good that you're alright." After saying that, he collapsed onto Lin Shu.

Looking at Lu Shiyuan, who had fainted on top of him, Lin Shu's mind went blank for a moment.

She couldn't understand why anyone would knowingly rush into a place where they were going to die.

For the first time, a different look appeared in her eyes when she looked at Lu Shiyuan.

After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Shu recovered from the shock of Lu Shiyuan's actions, pushed him off, and struggled to her feet.

The first thing Lin Shu did after sitting up was to check on Lu Shiyuan's situation.

I was somewhat relieved to find that although he was unconscious, his breathing was relatively steady.

She quickly took out two bottles of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, drank one herself, and fed the other to Lu Shiyuan.

Only after confirming that Lu Shiyuan was safe did she begin to investigate the surrounding situation.

They discovered that with the collapse of the mountain, they were trapped inside the mine, and the way out was blocked by rubble and mud.

Fortunately, although the mine was destroyed, the gold mine was not damaged.

This discovery left Lin Shu feeling both happy and worried. She was happy that her life hadn't been in vain, but worried that she had gone mad and almost perished with the gold mine.

She leaned against the mountain to her feet and walked toward the gold mine not far away, thinking, "We can't waste something we risked our lives for."

Lin Shu used the space's devouring ability to absorb the entire gold mine into his space.

However, the cost was that the mountain collapsed again.

Fortunately, Lin Shu managed to retrieve a shield from his spatial storage to protect her and Lu Shiyuan, but the two were buried by the mountain again.

Fortunately, Lin Shu's shield was incredibly strong, which saved their lives.

As the tremors subsided, Lin Shu carefully removed the rubble covering the shield.

Then, after checking whether Lu Shiyuan's injuries had worsened, she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they had not.

She thought she was really crazy.

But since we've already gone crazy once, what's wrong with going crazy one more time?

So he simply blasted the mountain apart, creating a way out for himself.

the other side;

After blasting the mine, Liu Wuhen quickly returned to his courtyard on the mountain.

He rushed in and saw Yuan Bingxuan lying unconscious on the ground. His expression immediately turned anxious, and he quickly ran towards Yuan Bingxuan, calling out, "Miss!"

Yuan Bingxuan also woke up slowly at this moment and saw Liu Wuhen's anxious face.

Recalling everything that happened before she lost consciousness, she desperately reached out and grabbed Liu Wuheng, "Brother Liu, what about our gold mine? Did you blow it up?"

"It exploded, and I also killed the guy who was robbing the gold mine inside," Liu Wuheng recounted the events.

Upon learning that the gold mine she had painstakingly dug had been stolen, Yuan Bingxuan nearly fainted from anger.

[System, check who stole the gold mine?]

However, the system did not respond to her in time this time, which made Yuan Bingxuan feel unprecedented panic.

what happened?

[System, system...]

Only after Yuan Bingxuan repeatedly called out to the system did it awaken from its daze. [Host.]

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Bingxuan asked.

"I don't know what happened either. After you were knocked unconscious, I was forcibly shut down," the system explained.

Yuan Bingxuan was startled; she had never imagined things would turn out this way, but that wasn't the point.

The key question is: who stole the gold she painstakingly mined? [Can you find out who stole the gold?]

"Yes, host, wait for me a moment, I'll check right away," the system said, and then there was no further response.

Yuan Bingxuan didn't sit idly by either. She quickly instructed Liu Wuhen, "Brother Liu, let's pack our things and leave here. I just ran into Lu Shiyuan."

"What? Lu Shiyuan?" Upon hearing Lu Shiyuan's name, Liu Wuhen's expression immediately turned serious.

Lu Shiyuan is not only the young marquis of Anhou Mansion, but also an invincible young war god on the battlefield. Even his own master has to be wary of him.

But ever since his master destroyed the Anhou Mansion, he seemed to have vanished into thin air. He thought he was dead, but he never expected that he was still alive.

“Yes, it was him. He's the one who knocked me out,” Yuan Bingxuan said, not as uneasy as he was.

After all, she already knew that Lu Shiyuan was not dead for the time being.

Having received confirmation from Yuan Bingxuan, Liu Wuhen did not hesitate for a moment, "Okay, I'll pack my things and leave right away."

Just as Liu Wuhen turned around to pack his things, the system discovered that the gold mine was missing.

[Host, we've found it. It's Lin Shu.]

The moment Yuan Bingxuan heard the message from the system, her world collapsed.

She hadn't expected Lin Shu to be playing such a big game with her.

She not only took the chest of gold she used to buy the mountain, but also stole all of her gains.

To have her do all the work for someone else's benefit was an utter disgrace to her. [Investigate, see where she's hidden the gold mine!]

[Unable to be found, it's like they've vanished into thin air,] the system really can't find them.

This time, Yuan Bingxuan was really anxious. The fact that even the system couldn't find anything about Lin Shu was enough to show that Lin Shu was no ordinary person.

The anger of being tricked and the inability to find the gold made her increasingly resentful.

He immediately said to Liu Wuhen, "Brother Liu, go to the Lu family's courtyard and bring back everyone inside."
