Chapter 104 Where to find the key? (1/3)

Yan Yu led Ruan Tang to the deepest part of the cave.

Empty.

There wasn't even a hair on it.

The two searched the place thoroughly, even scraping the cracks in the stone walls raw, but to no avail.

Ruan Tang was a little confused.

This place is so clean that even a mouse would have to leave with tears in its eyes. What treasure could it possibly hide here?

But the little sapling in her dantian wouldn't have it.

It's gone mad.

They were rampaging around inside, practically rebelling.

An unreasonable, domineering desire burned her nerves, making them throb as if they were about to be burned off.

want!

I want it!

I want it now!

Ruan Tang was so dizzy from it that her vision started to go black.

She shook her head, trying to soothe him.

As a result, the broken tree, like a stuck death warrant, kept repeating the same word over and over.

want!

Ruan Tang was so angry that her brow twitched. What exactly did this brat want?

While she was arguing with her "rebellious son," Yan Yu, standing beside her, watched as the color drained completely from her face in an instant.

His heart clenched suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an icy hand, both cold and painful.

The man stretched out his long arm and, without the slightest hesitation, pulled the person into his arms.

A large, hot hand cupped the back of her head, and the calloused fingertips gently and rhythmically massaged the softest part of her neck.

"Don't rush."

His voice was deep and steady, each word pulling her wandering heart back to its normal rhythm.

Yan Yu wrapped her up in front of him, using his tall frame to block out all the cold, damp air seeping from the ground.

"If there is no reaction, the thing must be here."

He crouched down and tapped the rocky ground beneath his feet with his well-defined knuckles.

"Knock, knock."

The sound was deep and solid.

Yan Yu did not get up. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, sharp enough to see through the thick layers of earth.

He raised his head, looked at the little girl in his arms who still looked bewildered, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"It may not be in front of us."

Not in sight?

That is in... a place that cannot be seen.

Ruan Tang subconsciously looked around at the thick stone walls.

There's no array fluctuation here, so there's only one possibility left.

The thing is behind the rock!

"I'll do it."

Yan Yu stood up, his tone as calm as if he were saying, "We'll have braised pork for dinner."

His eyes swept across a stone wall, and he had already calculated the most effortless blasting point in his mind.

Simple, brutal, and extremely strict.

"No way!" Ruan Tang blurted out without thinking. "The noise would be too loud! What if it collapses the mountain? What if it attracts people?"
