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

The door to the secret room slammed shut with a bang, and the scribbled symbols on the door flickered red, just like the opening scene of a horror movie.

Jiang Ye's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Are they serious?!" He pointed at the runes, trembling, feeling more terrified than if he'd seen a ghost.

Although Ye Shuli was also feeling uneasy, she still tried to remain calm on the surface.

"Calm down, calm down! It's just a broken door, how could it possibly stump me?" She patted Jiang Ye's shoulder casually, comforting him, "Don't panic, I'll take you to the top!"

However, before the word "fly" even landed, the secret room began to shake, like an earthquake.

The air was getting thinner and thinner, and Jiang Ye felt like a fish out of water, about to suffocate.

"Sister Li...I...I can't breathe..." His face was pale, and he gripped Ye Shuli's hand tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline.

Ye Shuli wasn't in much better shape; she felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she was about to die any second.

But she gritted her teeth and forced herself to observe the runes.

This thing looks familiar...

and many more!

Could this be...

“Jiang Ye,” Ye Shuli’s voice trembled slightly, “come and take a look. This thing… doesn’t it look like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs I told you about?” Jiang Ye looked bewildered. “Ancient… what ancient stuff? At a time like this, Sister Li, you’re still thinking about archaeology?” Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. “Stop talking nonsense! Come and take a look!”

Jiang Ye, feeling dizzy, leaned over and carefully examined the scribbles. Then, with a sincere expression, he said, "Sister Li, if I may be so bold, I can't see any meaning in these things except that they're even more abstract than oracle bone script." Ye Shuli rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"Don't you understand abstract art? This is art! You uncultured person!" Although she said it with disdain, Ye Shuli had a sudden inspiration.

and many more!

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs...

Sacrifice...

organ……

Is it...

She suddenly remembered a document she had seen in a museum, which described a mechanism in ancient Egyptian tombs that was activated by deciphering hieroglyphs.

Can't it be such a coincidence?

Ye Shuli's heart raced as she began to carefully observe the runes, attempting to decipher their meanings based on her rudimentary understanding of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Time ticked by, the air grew thinner, and Jiang Ye began to roll his eyes.

Just when Ye Shuli was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that one of the runes appeared repeatedly in a very special position.

"I've got it!" Ye Shuli exclaimed excitedly, then pointed to the rune and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this rune means 'activate'! The runes next to it should indicate how to activate the mechanism!" Following the rune's instructions, Ye Shuli fumbled around on the wall for a while and finally found a hidden button in an inconspicuous corner.

"That's it!" Ye Shuli pressed the button without hesitation.

"Rumble—" A mechanical turning sound rang out, and a hidden door suddenly appeared on the wall of the secret room. Fresh air rushed in from outside the door, instantly dispelling the suffocating feeling in the secret room.

Jiang Ye took deep breaths of fresh air, feeling as if he had just escaped from the brink of death.

He looked at Ye Shuli, his eyes filled with admiration and...

Other things.

"Sister Li..." He was about to speak when Ye Shuli suddenly covered his mouth.

"Shh—" She put a finger to her lips, her eyes warily fixed on the hidden door.

"It seems... something is coming..." The hidden door slowly opened, and a dark figure appeared in the doorway.

Jiang Ye shuddered in fright and instinctively hugged Ye Shuli tightly, shrinking behind her and trembling.

"Sister Li... protect me!" he said, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

Ye Shuli was amused by his cowardly behavior, but the situation was unclear at the moment, so she couldn't laugh.

She wrapped her arms around Jiang Ye and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!" Although she said that, she wasn't really sure herself.

It's pitch black outside, who knows what's outside?

However, when the shadowy figure fully appeared in the light, both of them were stunned.

“A… chicken?” Jiang Ye’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Indeed, what appeared before them was a brightly colored rooster, standing proudly at the doorway, looking down at them with eyes full of...

Disdain?

"Cock-a-doodle-doo—" The rooster crowed loudly, and then...

Turn around and run!

"Hey! Don't run away!" Jiang Ye realized what was happening and took off after him.

"Sister Li, let's make chicken soup!"

Ye Shuli: "..." She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. What on earth was all this about?!

The tense atmosphere from just now vanished instantly, replaced by a strange sense of humor.

However, after going through a life-or-death ordeal, Ye Shuli found that her feelings for Jiang Ye seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Watching Jiang Ye chase the chicken, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Jiang Ye chased the chicken back, excitedly holding up the rooster in his hand, "Sister Li, extra treat tonight!" Suddenly, as if realizing something, his expression turned serious, and he hugged Ye Shuli tightly, "Sister Li, if it weren't for you this time, I would definitely be dead." His voice was slightly choked, which warmed Ye Shuli's heart.

Ye Shuli nestled tightly in Jiang Ye's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and the ambiguity between the two reached its peak.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli was taken aback at first, then responded enthusiastically.

At that moment, the two confirmed their feelings for each other.

"Ahem," a sudden sound broke the pleasant atmosphere.

"Hey you two, in broad daylight, be mindful of your behavior..."

The two separated quickly, as if they had been electrocuted.

Jiang Ye scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Well... the atmosphere was right, I couldn't help it..." Ye Shuli blushed and glared at him fiercely, "Shut up!" The one who spoke was a random passerby who had been trapped in another secret room earlier.

He looked at the two of them with a knowing smile, winking and saying, "Congratulations! This is true love in times of trouble!" Jiang Ye chuckled, not refuting, and directly admitted, "Of course! My sister Li is so outstanding, I have to hurry up and win her over!" Ye Shuli ignored him and turned to the passerby, "Do you know how to get out?" The passerby pointed behind him, "The exit is over there, I just came out too."

The three of them left the secret room together and returned to the ground.

As the sunlight shone on her, Ye Shuli felt as if she had been reborn.

With the cultivation resources obtained in the secret chamber, Ye Shuli's strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Those who used to mock and bully her no longer dare to act recklessly. They all treat her with utmost respect, and some even take the initiative to curry favor with her.

Ye Shuli has finally begun to establish herself in this fantasy continent.

However, the hatred of her family weighed on her heart like a boulder.

She knew that she still had a long way to go and that the challenges ahead would be even greater.

Jiang Ye gripped Ye Shuli's hand tightly, his eyes resolute. "Sister Li, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." Ye Shuli smiled slightly and returned the grip.

Just then, a man in black appeared silently behind them and handed Ye Shuli a letter. "Miss Ye, this is a letter from the head of the family." Ye Shuli took the letter, opened it, and her expression instantly turned serious…

"Looks like the real show is about to begin."
