Chapter 1471: Alteration of the Traps

Wang Sijing cried, not just shedding a few tears, but bawling like a three-year-old child, sobbing her heart out, coughing and sniffing at the same time.

From the day she first received the Wang Family’s Inner Power Heart Method, she embarked on the path of cultivation, and since that day, she had never cried again! It was as if she had successfully evolved into a human without tear glands.

But now, her heart was filled with grievances! Ever since meeting Lin Tian, she seemed to have bad luck every day, her face unable to show a genuine smile.

Now, the grievances in her heart were overflowing, so these tears burst out.

She was truly aggrieved. Damn it, Empty City Strategy! She really pressed the trap, and even pressed two.

But why?! There was no poisonous smoke, no poisonous silk, were the Wang Family’s secret chambers helping this outsider?!

Lin Tian was also startled. He never expected Wang Sijing to burst into tears, complete with snot and sobs, which was nerve-wracking. Like most men, Lin Tian had no idea what to do with a crying woman, not to mention, the woman in front of him was Wang Sijing, and he had no inclination to comfort her.

“Stop crying! Your tears won’t work on me!” Lin Tian shouted at her: “Cry anymore, and I’ll block your acupoints!”

Wang Sijing cried even louder, suddenly realizing this was a great way to vent.

At this moment, Chen Moxiang and Xv Jiazhi arrived, shocked at the scene before them.

“Hey, what did you do to her?” Chen Moxiang tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes, looking like he was saying, ‘Confess to leniency, resist to severity.’

Lin Tian was also at a loss, shrugged, and said, “Just got angry and pinched her neck a bit. Who knew it would turn out like this!”

Women can always garner sympathy, and crying women even more so.

Chen Moxiang began to feel sympathetic towards Wang Sijing. Crying so miserably, it was hard not to sympathize.

Sympathy is one thing; she wouldn’t make unexpected moves because of it, at most just handing her a tissue to wipe her tears and snot.

After a while of crying, Wang Sijing had almost vented her resentment, although she still hadn’t stopped sobbing.

Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief; if this woman kept crying, he felt his head would explode!

“Alright, stop crying. I just lost my temper, as long as you don’t trigger any real traps, I won’t hurt you, and will let you safely return to the top of the secret chamber.” Lin Tian said expressionlessly, this was his utmost tolerance.

He wasn’t a ruthless demon; if it really came down to it, he hadn’t actually killed that many people. It would be difficult for him to truly harm her.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sijing, with her swollen, red eyes, glared at Lin Tian and said angrily, “There’s nothing but real traps left! The one just now was real! Besides the brick on the wall, I triggered another mechanism. When you rushed over, a strand of poisonous silk should have sliced you into minced meat, but the poisonous silk didn’t appear at all! Neither did the poisonous smoke!”

These words were enough to astonish Lin Tian and the others. They absolutely didn’t doubt this woman’s ruthlessness. After all, her previous glare was like that of someone intending to kill.

But with two mechanisms triggered, and nothing happening, it made them both relieved and lucky.

“Something’s off,” Xv Jiazhi suddenly said, “Ever since we entered the secret chambers, we’ve seen numerous traps and mechanisms, each one deadly, then why here do the traps malfunction?”

Wang Sijing sat on the cold floor, sprawling, and said, “Why are you asking me? How should I know?!”

Xv Jiazhi gave her an exasperated look, “I’m not asking you. Please don’t flatter yourself.”

“…” Wang Sijing felt as if a knife was stabbed into her chest again.

Lin Tian crossed his arms, thinking deeply, his gaze sweeping the path they came from, suddenly his eyes flashed sharply and he said, “Could it be that the previous large formation changed, causing these subsequent mechanisms to fail?”

“Don’t say, that’s really possible,” Chen Moxiang echoed.

Wang Sijing wiped her tears with the back of her hand, sneering, “Your idea is both naive and optimistic, and also ignorant! Did you forget about the beast head knocker?”

“What do you mean? Be clear.”

“Such fools! It’s naturally to do the opposite! The previous beast head knocker acted this way, so perhaps the later traps and even the routes to take need to be reversed. So, thinking this way, the two mechanisms I triggered failed. This doesn’t mean you’ll be so lucky down the road, as the traps might have all changed. Maybe the brick you step on, or a turn you make, there might be unexpected things waiting for you.”

As she spoke, the smile on Wang Sijing’s face grew more radiant. She seemed to already picture the scene, thinking of Lin Tian dying in this secret chamber, buried alongside the Wang Family ancestors, truly brightened her mood.

Lin Tian was speechless. Women really are fascinating creatures; one moment they cry like a storm, and the next they smile so wickedly.

“Don’t babble so much, either way, you have to walk with us, even if you die, we die together. I really don’t understand how you can still laugh.”

Even though Wang Sijing had built some resistance to Lin Tian’s sarcasm, hearing it still made her grit her teeth audibly. This bastard!

Seeing Wang Sijing still unwilling to stand, Lin Tian said: “You are still valuable to me, so I won’t kill you, but I know some tortures that won’t harm your muscles and bones. I bet you can’t endure. You might as well be sensible, don’t you think?”

Wang Sijing snorted heavily and finally climbed up from the ground. She dusted herself off with her hand, saying expressionlessly: “Let’s go!”

Following the usual routine, Lin Tian led the way; no one else would act unless he did. But Lin Tian showed no intention to move, instead, he unloaded his pack, opened the zipper, and pulled out a roll of white string as thick as a pinky finger. As he untied it, he said: “To avoid tricks from you again, I decided to let you walk up front. I’ll tie this rope around your waist, made of special materials, it’s hard to cut even with ordinary knives, and it takes a certain amount of time if you want to sever it with Inner Strength, so running away is impossible.”

Wang Sijing bit her lower lip with her white teeth, filled with hatred, she felt this was humiliating, but a man under another’s roof must bow his head!

“Raise your hands, I’m about to bind,” Lin Tian said calmly.

At this point, Chen Moxiang snatched the rope from Lin Tian’s hand, saying forcefully: “Let me do it!”
