A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The mine was collapsing faster and faster, and rocks were falling from above like rain.

"Wow, this is so exciting!" Jiang Ye exclaimed as he dodged the falling rocks.

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What kind of time is this to be joking! If you don't want to turn into a meat pie, then run!"

They moved like two nimble monkeys, dodging and weaving through the narrow passage.

Elder Sun pursued relentlessly, his sinister gaze fixed on the two men as if he wanted to devour them alive.

"You little brats, just accept your fate!" He condensed a powerful spiritual energy in his palm and slammed it hard into Jiang Ye's back.

"Jiang Ye! Watch out!" Ye Shuli exclaimed, but it was too late to stop him.

Jiang Ye was hit and staggered forward a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough..." He clutched his chest, his face turning pale instantly.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli's heart clenched suddenly, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart.

That damned Elder Sun, taking advantage of someone in distress!

She helped Jiang Ye up, glaring coldly at Elder Sun: "You old bastard, how dare you hurt him!"

Elder Sun sneered, "So what if I hurt him? Today, both of you will die here!" He gathered his spiritual power again, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the two of them.

Ye Shuli felt that her strength was so insignificant in this desperate situation, but she did not give up.

She held Jiang Ye's hand tightly, a sense of unprecedented determination welling up inside her.

No, she can't fall down. She has to protect Jiang Ye and survive!

Just at this critical moment, Ye Shuli suddenly felt her feet slip and the two of them fell downwards again.

"Ah—" A feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and Ye Shuli clung tightly to Jiang Ye. The whistling wind in her ears made it almost impossible for her to think.

"Lili, hold on tight to me!" Jiang Ye's voice sounded somewhat muffled in the wind.

The fall seemed to last a long time, yet it also seemed to happen in an instant.

With a loud bang, the two fell heavily to the ground, and everything went black.

Jiang Ye groaned, seemingly injured again.

"Jiang Ye, how are you?" Ye Shuli asked anxiously, trying to adjust to the darkness.

She fumbled for the luminous pearl and pulled it out; its faint light illuminated the surroundings.

This is a larger cave, with starlight twinkling on the surrounding stone walls.

“I’m fine…” Jiang Ye’s voice was weak and feeble. “Lili, look…” He pointed to the stone wall, his tone filled with disbelief.

Ye Shuli followed his gaze, her pupils suddenly dilating.

"This...this is..." she murmured to herself, her heart filled with turmoil.

“Spirit crystal mine…” Jiang Ye’s voice trembled, “We…we think we’ve found a spirit crystal mine…”

"Wait a minute," Ye Shuli suddenly realized something, her expression hardening, "Something's not right..."

“Wait a minute,” Ye Shuli suddenly realized something and her expression turned serious, “Something’s not right…” This dense spiritual energy, this dazzling spirit crystal mine, it all looks like a trap!

"Old Six's usual trick!" Ye Shuli cursed inwardly.

Having read many adventure novels in modern times, she knew that such places, teeming with treasures, were often fraught with danger.

But there was no other way to go at the moment. She remembered the geological knowledge she had learned in modern times and quickly determined the general direction of the safety passage.

"Jiang Ye, come with me!" She pulled Jiang Ye up and ran towards a relatively stable stone wall.

Seeing this, Elder Sun roared in exasperation, "Trying to run? No way!" He launched another attack, his palm strike fierce, aimed straight at Ye Shuli's back.

Despite his injuries, Jiang Ye stood in front of Ye Shuli and took the blow head-on.

"Cough cough..." He spat out another mouthful of blood, his body swaying precariously.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli felt a pang of heartache, her eyes slightly reddening.

But she knew this wasn't the time for sentimentality; she had to find a way out as soon as possible!

She supported Jiang Ye, gritted her teeth, and continued running forward.

Elder Sun pursued them relentlessly, like a mad dog, determined to kill them both.

Rocks were constantly falling inside the mine, making the situation extremely dangerous.

Just then, Ye Shuli noticed a narrow gap in front of her.

"This is it!" she exclaimed with delight, pulling Jiang Ye inside.

Seeing this, Elder Sun also followed them inside.

However, the gap was narrower than he had imagined, and his obese body was stuck in the middle, unable to move.

"Damn it!" he roared repeatedly, but to no avail.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye seized the opportunity to escape and finally arrived at a relatively safe place.

Looking at Elder Sun, who was still stuck in the crevice behind him, struggling in vain, Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain, "His character collapsed a little too quickly. He was so arrogant just now, and now he's stuck like a turtle? Hahahaha..."

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Stop laughing and hurry up and heal your injuries! This old guy definitely won't let this go." She looked around, her gaze falling on the shimmering spirit crystal veins nearby, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"It seems it's time to make some arrangements..."

Ye Shuli is no pushover; her modern knowledge combined with her identity as a time traveler makes her exceptionally quick-witted.

She observed the distribution of spirit crystal veins within the cave, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Old man, you're still too green to fight me!"

She pulled out a bunch of strange things from her storage bag: metal wires, transparent sheets, and powder that emitted a peculiar fragrance.

Jiang Ye stared in disbelief. "Lili, what are you doing? Are you performing magic?"

"Change my foot!" Ye Shuli glared at him irritably. "This is high technology, do you understand? I'm going to set him up!" As she spoke, she quickly arranged these things in various corners of the cave, her fingers flying as if she were playing a complex piece of music.

Although Jiang Ye didn't understand it, he inexplicably felt it was very impressive, so he obediently stood by and protected her, occasionally saying, "Lili, do you need any help? I can hand you the tools!"

Ye Shuli ignored him and focused on setting up the formation.

As the last component was installed, the spiritual energy within the cave began to fluctuate violently. A powerful force surged from the spirit crystal vein, converging into a massive light shield that trapped Elder Sun within it.

"What's going on?!" Elder Sun was horrified to find himself trapped inside a transparent barrier, which he could not budge no matter how he attacked it.

"Let me out! You despicable people!" he roared furiously, like a trapped beast.

Ye Shuli clapped her hands, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

"Old man, enjoy this! This is VIP treatment, exclusively customized!" She grabbed Jiang Ye and ran towards the emergency exit. "Let's go!"

Inside the passage, they discovered a glittering vein of spirit crystals, larger and purer than any they had seen before!

"Wow! We're rich!" Jiang Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it.

Ye Shuli was also somewhat excited, but she remained calm.

"Don't rush, let's check the situation first." She carefully observed the surrounding environment and only began collecting spirit crystals after confirming that there was no danger.

The two frantically collected spirit crystals, and their storage bags were soon full.

Looking at his bountiful harvest, Jiang Ye danced with excitement, exclaiming, "We're rich! We've struck it rich! Now we can buy lots of delicious food!"

Just then, the mine began to shake violently, and rocks kept falling from above.

"Oh no! It's going to collapse!" Ye Shuli's expression changed. "Get out of here right now!"

They fought with all their might and finally escaped before the mine completely collapsed.

Elder Sun, who was trapped in the formation, was buried underground forever when the mine collapsed.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye looked at the glittering spirit crystal in their hands. Jiang Ye suddenly said, "Lili..."

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye crawled out of the mine, covered in dust and dirt, supporting each other like two brothers who had fled in distress.

But the light in their eyes was even brighter than the spirit crystals in their hands.

"Lili, our move was absolutely brilliant!" Jiang Ye wiped the dust off his face, still excited. "That Sixth Elder Sun is probably still inside right now! Hahahaha..."

Ye Shuli glanced at him: "Alright, stop showing off. Hurry up and find a place to heal your injuries. You're practically falling apart." Although she complained, Ye Shuli was also relieved.

This thrilling mine escape has finally come to a perfect end.

The two found a secluded cave, and Ye Shuli took out some healing pills and some spiritual herbs that she had "borrowed" from the mine earlier from her storage bag to treat Jiang Ye's wounds.

"Ouch... Gently, gently! You're trying to murder your husband!" Jiang Ye exclaimed dramatically, but looking at Ye Shuli's serious expression, he felt a warm glow in his heart.

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Stop joking around and behave yourself!" She carefully bandaged Jiang Ye's wound and treated some of her own abrasions.

"Lili, we've made such a big windfall this time, how about we go out for a big meal to celebrate?" Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli expectantly, as if he could already smell the aroma of barbecue.

Ye Shuli thought about it and decided that she should treat herself.

"Okay, you decide what to eat. Consider it a way to calm your nerves."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately perked up: "Then let's go to Zuixianlou! I heard they've launched a new kind of spirit beast roasted meat, and it tastes amazing!"

The two packed their things and headed excitedly towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

However, what they didn't know was that the danger was not over yet, but had only just begun...

Not long after they stepped out of the cave, several dark figures appeared silently behind them, their eyes fixed on their backs with cold stares.

"Target spotted, prepare to move." A deep voice from one of the shadowy figures echoed through the mountains.

As Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye reached the foot of the mountain, they suddenly felt the air around them become somewhat heavy.

Ye Shuli paused, glancing around warily: "Wait..."

Jiang Ye was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ye Shuli frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems... someone is following us..."
