Supreme Crazy Wife

Chapter 295: Endless Abyss, Sowing Discord (3)

“This place seems a little different from the last time I was here,” Big White suddenly said.

“What’s different?” Leng Ruoxue asked cautiously. For some reason, she had a strange feeling after entering the palace, as though something here was waiting for her.

Thinking back carefully, Big White said, “Last time I was here, there were a lot of guards and a lot of shiny things hanging on the walls.”

“Uh! When was the last time you came?” Feng Da asked curiously.

“Three thousand years ago,” Big White said with certainty after some calculation.

Plop! Feng Da fell to the ground on all fours exaggeratedly, and there were several black lines hanging on his forehead. Three thousand years ago! My mother! Isn’t that too long?!

Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead as she said to smooth things over, “Uh! I think that snake might have lost all its money, so it had to sell everything.”

“What Xue’er says is very reasonable,” Freak agreed very much. Xue’er’s words are always right.

Everyone present didn’t comment on the nature of the wife-slave. They only looked at Leng Ruoxue as though asking her what to do now.

“Big White, are you sure that snake still lives here?” Leng Ruoxue asked after some thought.

“It should be here. I didn’t hear that it moved.” Big White scratched his head awkwardly.

“Ruoxue, let’s go in and take a look since we’re already here!” Lin Liang suggested. There were only two divine beasts in this snow mountain. It would save them a lot of trouble if the snake knew the whereabouts of Old Leng. After all, Old Leng’s spirit beast had already gone to the bottom of the abyss to look for him but found nothing.

“Yes, Grandpa Lin is right. We’re already here, so how can we do nothing? Let’s go in and look!” Leng Ruoxue agreed.

“Grandpa Lin, Patriarch Feng, First Elder, the three of you will be at the back. I, Freak, and Old Zao will be in front. Everyone else will walk in the middle.” Leng Ruoxue rearranged the formation.

After settling everything, Leng Ruoxue and Freak walked side by side on the only path in the palace hall.

“Xue’er, how long do we have to go this way?” Freak couldn’t help asking after walking for a long time. Even though there was only one path in the hall, this path was full of twists and turns. They went around and around but still didn’t find the end. There was not even a shadow on the path, so they didn’t even have the chance to ask someone for directions.

“I don’t know either, but it’s obvious we haven’t finished walking this path,” Leng Ruoxue said in realization. She couldn’t help sighing. Alas! As expected of a snake’s residence, this path is really long!

“Lass, Big White said we’ll reach after two turns,” Old Zao interjected.

“Oh, let’s go slowly!” Leng Ruoxue replied.

After walking for a long time, Leng Ruoxue and the others finally found that there was no path ahead.

At the end of the path, Leng Ruoxue and Freak faced a room. They looked at each other, pushed the door open, and walked straight in. Feng Moran and the others followed closely behind.

Leng Ruoxue looked around at the similarly empty room and asked in bewilderment, “Big White, does that snake live in this room?”

Big White tried his best to recall. “That’s right. I saw it here previously.”

“Did it really move away?” Freak guessed.

“Big White, are there any other rooms here?” Leng Ruoxue asked thoughtfully.

“I don’t know. I’ve only been here once,” Big White said apologetically.

Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly and then carefully observed the entire room, looking for clues. She refused to believe that there was only one room in such a large palace.

Could there be some secret here? Leng Ruoxue examined it more carefully after thinking of this possibility.

…

In another room in the palace…

“Hehe, your granddaughter is quite attentive,” Confound praised. This Leng Ruoxue is a bit interesting. Perhaps she can really change my opinion of humans.

“Of course. My grandchildren are my pride.” Whenever his two outstanding grandchildren were mentioned, Leng Qingtian was so excited that his tail would rise to the sky. Of course, that was under the premise that he had a tail.

“Don’t be so happy too soon. Their lives will be in danger unless they can pass my test,” Confound reminded.

“I have confidence in them,” Leng Qingtian said confidently.

“Is that so? I’ll wait and see then.” Confound stopped talking and focused on Leng Ruoxue and the others.

…

Leng Ruoxue and the others, who were carefully inspecting every corner of the room, had no idea that someone was monitoring their every move…

“Miss, there’s nothing unusual,” Feng Da reported after checking once.

“Take a closer look. I have a nagging feeling that something is amiss here,” Leng Ruoxue instructed.

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan approached Leng Ruoxue and suggested, “Miss, let’s dig out all the night-luminescent pearls on the path when we leave later! We can’t make a wasted trip, right?”

“Why are you such a money-grubber? Did I starve you?” Leng Ruoxue frowned and scolded him jokingly. But this idea was not bad. There were so many night-luminescent pearls that it would be good to bring them back for illumination, lest they went to waste.

When a certain someone in the dark heard what Lin Yuan said, he was so angry that his face turned green!

“Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan,” Leng Ruoxue called out twice after feeling that something was amiss since he didn’t reply to her for a long time. But Lin Yuan didn’t have any response and just stood motionless on the spot. Moreover, his eyes were becoming more and more unfocused…

“Xue’er, look at them…” Freak pointed at Feng Da and the others.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to Feng Da and the others, only to find that everyone was exactly the same as Lin Yuan except for her and Freak…
