Chapter 799 - 771: Underground Fissure

Amidst the playful banter, it took Sun Zhe nearly an hour to completely put the Molting Clothes on Leng Yuening.

The Molting Clothes were very rigid, and its design around the joints made movement difficult, so once put on, Leng Yuening could only stand straight or lie straight.

Sun Zhe circled around her twice, pinching his chin and said, "Hmm, not bad. If someone were to carry you into a coffin now, they might think you’re an emperor from three thousand years ago."

"You dare!"

A threatening voice came from within the Molting Clothes.

Sun Zhe laughed heartily and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Hmm..." Leng Yuening pondered for a moment and said, "It’s pitch black, I can’t see anything. It’s quite scary, but it’s reassuring to have you by my side."

Sun Zhe said, "I meant the physical sensation."

"I feel a bit dizzy, probably because it’s stuffy, and I can smell a strong herbal scent."

Sun Zhe said, "That’s the layer of medicine coated inside the Jade Mummy. Anything else?"

"Hmm, not at the moment. By the way, Sun Zhe, can you keep talking to me? Don’t send me to your space just yet; it’s so dark in here, it makes me anxious."

"Don’t worry, I’m right here with you."

"By the way, when we return this time, if my sister finds out my cultivation is higher than hers, will she be surprised?"

"She probably will be."

"..."

They found some random topics to chat about, and as they talked, the lazy voice of the Little Dragon Girl suddenly sounded in Sun Zhe’s mind: "Xiao Zhezi, where’s my master?"

"She said she’s looking for some underground passage, no idea where."

"Did you get the Molting Clothes?"

"Yeah, Yuening is wearing it now."

Upon hearing this, the Little Dragon Girl spread her Divine Sense to observe Leng Yuening for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why isn’t she lying in the coffin?"

Sun Zhe was stunned for a moment, "She needs to lie in a coffin?"

"Of course, the Molting Clothes and this Jade Coffin are a pair. Without lying in the coffin, wearing the Molting Clothes for tens of thousands of years would be useless."

"Uh... why didn’t you mention it sooner?"

"Actually, I only found out after asking my master recently."

"Well, you should have said something earlier."

"Saying it now isn’t too late either."

After that, Sun Zhe ended his Divine Sense communication with the Little Dragon Girl and directly told Leng Yuening about needing to lie in the coffin.

To his surprise, Leng Yuening did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

Although it was quite eerie, compared to cancer, she preferred to lie in the coffin.

Sun Zhe asked, "A living person lying in a coffin, aren’t you scared?"

"Saying I’m not scared would be a lie, but as long as it can cure my cancer, I would even lie in a latrine!"

"Impressive!"

Sun Zhe decisively gave her a thumbs up, didn’t say much more, and turned to face the Jade Coffin.

"Apologies, Your Majesty. After all, you are now but a skeleton in the grave. You enjoyed all there was to enjoy in life, so this Jade Coffin will now benefit future generations."

Not long after.

Sun Zhe carefully removed the bones and arranged them as complete as possible in the coffin, then placed the empty Jade Coffin in front of Leng Yuening, picked her up, and laid her inside.

"Do you want some flowers?"

"Get lost."

Sun Zhe chuckled and asked, "How do you feel now?"

Leng Yuening’s voice was somewhat pained, "Why does my head hurt so much, especially my temples? It feels like needles are piercing in, and I’m so sleepy."

Sun Zhe said, "That probably means it’s working."

As he spoke, he discreetly activated his Yin Yang X-ray Vision.

Upon examining, he found countless tiny needle-like radioactive energies entering Leng Yuening’s skin through the Jade Mummy.

After entering the skin, these radioactive energies became extremely small particles merging into her blood, eroding Leng Yuening at a cellular level.

"Looks like it’s really working. Yuening, what do you feel now?"

Unexpectedly, after waiting a while, Leng Yuening didn’t respond; upon checking, he found she had already fallen asleep.

After observing for more than half an hour and ensuring there was no danger, Sun Zhe closed the Jade Coffin and sent it into the Ring Space, instructing the Little Dragon Girl and Little Hebao to monitor the situation and inform him immediately if anything went wrong.

Afterward, Sun Zhe walked around the stone hall, finding nothing valuable, just some gold and jade burial items, which although valuable, Sun Zhe had no need for.

The Little Dragon Girl had collected mountains of gold and silver, and the reverse scales given by Long Youyou also contained mountains of gold and silver, so these burial items didn’t interest him at all.

Not long after.

Long Youyou slowly walked out of the darkness and stood silently before him.

In this dark environment, Sun Zhe suddenly found the Flying Star Puppet in front of him somewhat creepy.

"Your Highness, how did it go?"

Long Youyou said, "This palace has found the underground entrance, come with me."

Sun Zhe was a bit curious and asked, "Even if Your Highness controls the Flying Star Puppet, your strength is above mine, why do you need me to fetch the Dragon Spirit Immortal Herb?"

Long Youyou candidly replied, "Because this palace is a Soul Body and has no physical body. Neither the puppet nor soul can resist the Dragon Breath, so I need you to fetch it."

Sun Zhe frowned, "Dragon Breath?"

"Yes, at that time, I’ll have to trouble you."

Sun Zhe suddenly had a bad feeling but didn’t say anything, as Long Youyou had helped him obtain the Molting Clothes, and she was the Little Dragon Girl’s master.

"Alright... I’ll try my best."

Long Youyou suddenly said, "After obtaining the Dragon Spirit Immortal Herb, this palace will begin resurrection. During that time, you must take good care of your body."

"Take care of my body?" Sun Zhe was puzzled, "Why?"

Long Youyou glanced back at him, "Because this palace will absorb your Yang Essence."

Sun Zhe: "..."

In the midst of their conversation, they arrived at another stone hall.

Inside the hall were mounds of skeletal remains of soldiers and horses, chilling to look at. Long Youyou walked over, casually waved her hand, and the gust of wind blew the bones aside, revealing a stone tablet lying flat on the ground.

"Move the tablet away. The entrance is beneath it."

Without speaking, Sun Zhe did as he was told.

Once the heavy stone tablet was moved, a pitch-black crevice came into view.

An icy wind blew out from the crevice, deep enough to devour anything, exuding an ineffable terrifying aura that sent chills down one’s spine.

Sun Zhe attempted to release his Divine Sense to probe below, but strangely, the cold wind instantly obliterated his Divine Sense.

"Wow, this wind is really strange; it can even instantly annihilate Divine Sense."

Long Youyou said, "This is the gas produced by the dragon’s breathing, not yet the true Dragon Breath."

Sun Zhe’s heart tightened, unable to imagine the terror below.

"You go down, this palace will assist you here."

Sun Zhe felt a bit heavy-hearted, forcing a smile on his face, "You seriously want me to?"

Seeing his reluctance, Long Youyou suddenly walked towards him, "Or I’ll just push you down."

"Hey, no need, I’ll go myself!"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, a strong force immobilized him, and Long Youyou stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and casually tossed him into the crevice.

"..."
