Chapter 339: You’re a Heroine!

The entrance to the Dragon Vein swallowed them in golden light.

For several seconds...

There was nothing.

No mountain.

No forest.

No sky.

Only an endless golden passage stretching downward.

Ancient symbols covered the walls.

Dragon carvings twisted around enormous stone pillars.

Every few seconds...

THUMP.

The entire passage trembled.

Chi Lingxi tightened her fingers around Shen Tian’s hand.

Not from fear.

More instinct than anything.

Shen Tian looked down.

"You okay?"

She nodded.

"Yes."

Then...

She looked around.

"This place feels strange."

Lin Yue nodded.

"The pressure is getting stronger."

Mu Qingqing touched one of the walls.

Her fingers traced an ancient formation line.

"This isn’t just a tomb."

Ji Xuan stepped closer.

"It’s a sealing formation."

Luo Xiaoyu crouched beside another symbol.

"No."

Everyone looked toward her.

She shook her head.

"Partly."

"The outer formation is a seal."

"But the inner structure..."

She looked deeper into the passage.

"...was designed to gather something."

Shen Tian smiled.

"Dragon Qi."

The three women looked toward him.

Mu Qingqing raised an eyebrow.

"You know formations?"

"No."

Silence.

"Then how do you know?"

Shen Tian pointed deeper inside.

"Guess."

Xu Ning stared at him.

[Lie.]

"Educated guess."

[Still lie.]

Shen Tian ignored her.

Rose looked at his face.

Then...

She smiled.

"You already know something."

"Maybe."

Tang Meilin immediately leaned closer.

"What?"

"Secret."

Her eyes narrowed.

"Shen Tian."

He smiled.

"No."

Tang Meilin stared.

Then...

She looked toward Chi Lingxi.

"Make him tell us."

Chi Lingxi blinked.

"Why me?"

"You’re his girlfriend."

Chi Lingxi’s cheeks warmed.

Then...

She smiled proudly.

"True."

Rose rolled her eyes.

"She really enjoys saying that."

"Very much."

Chi Lingxi looked up at Shen Tian.

Then...

She moved closer.

Her free hand rested against his chest.

"Shen Tian..."

Her voice became sweet.

Suspiciously sweet.

He looked down.

"No."

She froze.

"I didn’t ask yet."

"No."

Her eyes narrowed.

Rose laughed.

Tang Meilin looked disappointed.

Chi Lingxi poked his chest.

"You’re mean."

Shen Tian leaned down.

Kissed her forehead.

Then...

Continued walking.

Chi Lingxi froze.

Her entire face became red.

Tang Meilin stared.

Rose stared.

Chu Zijin stared.

Gu Qingya stared.

Lin Yue looked away.

Mu Qingqing blinked.

Ji Xuan smiled.

Luo Xiaoyu covered her mouth.

Chi Lingxi slowly touched her forehead.

Then...

She looked toward the others.

"What?"

Rose sighed.

"Nothing."

Tang Meilin muttered...

"Unfair."

Again.

Shen Tian heard.

Again.

He smiled.

Tang Meilin immediately pointed.

"Don’t."

"I didn’t say anything."

"Your face did."

. . .

Several hundred meters ahead...

Qin Hao stopped.

Han Yuer almost walked into him.

"What?"

Qin Hao stared at the passage splitting into three directions.

His system appeared.

Dragon Meridian Pearl route calculation active

Recommended route: Center

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes.

Too obvious.

Han Yuer heard him.

She looked toward the center passage.

Qin Hao continued thinking.

If my system can detect the Pearl, Chen Mo’s inheritance probably can

too.

Han Yuer listened quietly.

Adrian’s system definitely can.

And Shen Tian...

Qin Hao’s face darkened.

That bastard probably knew before we entered the mountain.

Han Yuer smiled.

Qin Hao looked toward her.

"What?"

"Nothing."

His eyes narrowed.

"You heard that."

She smiled wider.

"No."

"Yuer."

"No."

Qin Hao sighed.

Then...

He remembered something.

His face slowly changed.

Wait.

Han Yuer looked toward him.

Qin Hao stared ahead.

Shen Tian looked confused earlier.

Han Yuer’s eyebrow rose.

When Rose told him we could hear thoughts.

Qin Hao’s eyes narrowed.

Then...

His expression became increasingly suspicious.

No.

Han Yuer almost laughed.

Qin Hao slowly looked behind himself.

Far down the corridor...

Shen Tian’s group was approaching.

That asshole knew.

Han Yuer covered her mouth.

Qin Hao’s eye twitched.

He fucking knew the whole time.

Shen Tian was too far away to hear any spoken conversation.

But...

Han Yuer could.

And she was laughing.

Qin Hao stared at her.

"He knew, didn’t he?"

Han Yuer finally laughed.

"I think so."

Qin Hao closed his eyes.

"Of course."

. . .

Back with Shen Tian...

Rose suddenly spoke.

"You know..."

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"What?"

She narrowed her eyes.

"You were acting strangely earlier."

"Was I?"

"When we told you about the inner voices."

Shen Tian’s lips twitched.

Rose stopped walking.

Everyone else stopped too.

Gu Qingya slowly looked toward him.

Tang Meilin stared.

Chi Lingxi blinked.

Lin Yue’s eyes narrowed.

Chu Zijin tilted her head.

Rose pointed at him.

"You knew."

Shen Tian remained completely serious.

"Knew what?"

Rose stared.

Then...

Her eyes narrowed further.

"Shen Tian."

He held the expression for another second.

Then...

Smiled.

Rose’s mouth opened.

"You!"

Tang Meilin immediately understood.

"You were joking?!"

Shen Tian laughed.

"I was confused."

Gu Qingya crossed her arms.

"For approximately two seconds."

"Maybe three."

Rose stared.

"You’ve always known?"

"Of course."

Silence.

Chi Lingxi started laughing.

Chu Zijin covered her mouth.

Lin Yue shook her head.

Tang Meilin looked offended.

"You made us explain it to you!"

"I wanted to see what you’d say."

Rose stepped closer.

"You stood there looking completely confused."

"I was committed."

Gu Qingya sighed.

"You’re terrible."

Shen Tian smiled.

"Thank you."

"That wasn’t a compliment."

"Still taking it."

Rose slapped his arm lightly.

"You could have told us."

"You already knew you could hear them."

"That’s not the point."

Shen Tian looked around.

Then...

"What was I supposed to say?"

He changed his voice slightly.

"Oh, yes. Of course. The mysterious phenomenon where certain heroines

can hear the internal thoughts of Fate blessed protagonists. Completely

normal."

Silence.

Chu Zijin burst out laughing.

Chi Lingxi laughed against his shoulder.

Even Gu Qingya smiled.

Rose tried maintaining her glare.

Failed.

Then...

Mu Qingqing slowly raised one hand.

"Wait."

Everyone looked.

She pointed at herself.

"Heroines?"

Shen Tian became silent.

Rose looked at him.

Tang Meilin looked at him.

Gu Qingya looked at him.

Chi Lingxi looked at him.

Chu Zijin looked at him.

Lin Yue looked at him.

Shen Tian looked toward Xu Ning.

She smiled.

[Good luck.]

Traitor.

Mu Qingqing stepped closer.

"What exactly do you mean by heroine?"
