Novel Full Chapter 547
Chapter 547: Chapter 72: Exploration and Jealousy Chapter 547: Chapter 72: Exploration and Jealousy The length of the tunnel far exceeded their expectations.
After reaching the end, they pushed open a hidden door and entered a dark chamber.
There was nothing else in the dark chamber but a wooden table fixed to the ground.
On the stone table lay a piece of papyrus, pinned to the surface with a dagger.
Long Long drew the Dragon Chant Sword, whose glow illuminated the ancient paper, revealing extremely vague writing, most of which was nearly impossible to decipher:
“…
South State is restless, with yet another rebellion yesterday.
Vermilion Bird executed thirty-one families of the Feathered Clan, violently consolidating power internally, fearing the rise of armed conflict.
The Mao Clan is actively building mountain fortresses, with spies coming out frequently, infiltrating the great cities by the river.
North State’s Xuanwu and Qilin are very intimate, though nothing unusual has emerged, one cannot be too careful…”
From the limited text, it seemed to be a draft from some sort of intelligence personnel, but now it was impossible to read the entire document.
Long Hu tried to lift the manuscript, but as soon as she touched it, the papyrus quickly disintegrated into fragments, beyond any repair.
“I’m sorry,” she hurriedly whispered, though it was unclear to whom she was apologizing.
Long Long, with the illuminating Dragon Chant Sword, scrutinized the surroundings once more.

The scan showed that there were three hidden doors nearby, all leading to unknown places.
Long Long mentally retraced their path and was stunned to realize that this network of tunnels was skeleton-like, likely sprawling beneath the entire foundation of the Divine Dragon Tower.
Who built these tunnels?
And how come they remained undiscovered for so long?
With these questions pressed in his heart, Long Long continued to lead Long Hu, exploring the nearby hidden tunnels and doors.
Behind the left hidden door, the corridor led to an unknown room.
Long Long and Long Hu hid behind a partition to quietly eavesdrop.
Sounds of chopping knives and burning stoves indicated it was a kitchen.
Soon, the voices of the chefs began to be heard:
“The fruit last time wasn’t fresh enough, the manager scolded me fiercely; how do you guys procure the fruit?”
“Who stole the wine I put in the cupboard?”
“I told you not to use my chef’s knife!”
Even from behind the partition, the chefs’ voices were extremely clear, as if they were conversing right beside their ears.
Long Long immediately realized that these tunnels were specifically built for eavesdropping!
Since no useful information came from the kitchen, they returned to choose another hidden door to enter.
When they reached the end of this passage, the sound of trickling water reached them.
Listening carefully, Long Long heard the soft laughter of women-it was a public bathhouse behind the door!
People were bathing inside!
He instinctively moved closer, only to discover that the hidden door was covered with a multitude of tiny holes.
Peering through the holes, he could see that the hidden door was located on the wall near the ceiling of the public bathhouse, providing a clear view of the bathing Horned Clan demons.
Putting everything else aside, the figures of the Horned Clan women were generally plump, in contrast to the slender grace of the Scaled Clan, the well-proportioned strength of the Mao Clan, possessing a uniquely enticing…
plush charm.
Before he could continue observing, he felt his shoulder bitten and his waist entwined by a tail, as he was dragged back into the secret passage by Long Hu.
Long Long: ………
“What were you just looking at?” Long Hu bit his neck angrily, “Pervert!
Shameless!
Lewd!”
Long Long, without a word, manifested scales to block the mischievous fox’s biting attack, and calmly said,
“Hu, you can’t talk nonsense; I was merely confirming where that passage led to,”
“That’s obviously the bathroom, you could tell from the sounds, and you leaned in because you wanted to peek!
At those…” Long Hu struggled for a good while before spitting out a word, “at those shameless bodies!”
Long Long was speechless and after a long pause, spoke affectionately:
“Hu, I have no interest in them; they aren’t as beautiful as you.”
Still, Long Hu was relentless; after all, if she were too easily persuaded, men would consider her “easy to deceive.” Long Hu was instinctively sharp about this, so she continued to be jealously unreasonable:
“Nonsense!
You were clearly staring at them, unable to take your eyes off!”
Long Long was at a loss for words, almost cornered.
But who was he?
Having dealt with Junior Sister Xu, Senior Sister An, Miss Shi, and Jiang the Witch, he was already experienced in social interactions and quickly realized that Long Hu didn’t want an explanation-she just wanted to assert her status in the relationship by throwing a fit-plainly speaking, she wanted candy, so she cried for it.
So he hugged Long Hu tightly, showering her with fierce kisses and head pats, and sure enough, Long Hu went limp in his arms, stuttering:
“Anyway… you are not allowed to look at other women again!”
Long Long readily agreed, but his mind suddenly wandered off:
With such intense possessiveness, what would her reaction be if she found out about the existence of others in the future?
Ah well, it would be nothing but bared teeth and roars, no need to panic.
Moreover, why should I, Long Long, be responsible for what Qiu Changtian and the others have done?
Thinking this, Long Long immediately felt justified.
After mollifying Long Hu with patience, they continued exploring the tunnels.
The Divine Dragon Tower towered thirteen hundred feet high, with a staggeringly large area at the base.
The network of tunnels was just as profound, seeming to spread throughout the entire Divine Dragon Tower.
When they reached the end of one tunnel, they saw another vertical passage leading upward with a wooden ladder.
Climbing up the ladder for several feet, they came to a more spacious secret chamber.
The chamber was filled with various torture devices, as well as shackles fixed to the walls.
Despite the absence of any corpses or bones, blackened bloodstains were everywhere, hinting at the events that had taken place.
???G?.??
Long Hu felt uneasy about the surroundings and urged Long Long to leave quickly.
Long Long thoroughly checked the room, ensuring there were no hidden treasures, then led Long Hu out of the interrogation room and into a dungeon.
This place was even more spacious, with prison cells made of iron bars on both sides, and the walls carved with Rune Magic Formations that suppressed Spiritual Power and Divine Sense.
Long Long took an interest in these arrays-ancient Formations he had never encountered before!
They were highly valuable for research!
Though still somewhat impatient, Long Hu noticed the importance of these Array Runic Scripts to Long Long and quietly waited by his side.
After some time, Long Long had finally examined and scanned all the Rune Magic Formations on the wall.
The wall Arrays, as always, retained the characteristics of ancient Formations: they seemed small, but were actually highly integrated and astonishingly complex on the inside.
And after Long Long’s analysis, he discovered that this Formation had a strong Sealing Spirit effect, with many designs specifically targeting the bodies of the Dragon Clan.
So, was this a prison specifically designed to detain members of the Dragon Clan?
For some reason, Long Long suddenly remembered the giant Ghost Dragon he had seen deep within the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Cave in the East Sea.
