For two seconds nothing happened but then ——-

" What\'s going on?" Shi Caihong was laughing at Mei Xing who was trying to act like a know it all but when the entire tomb started to shake as if there was an earthquake, she couldn\'t help but let out a panicky shout as she took several steps back. In her panic, she didn\'t even notice that she trodded on little fatty Shao Li Jun\'s feet. " Ouch what the hell, Caihong?"

Shao Li Jun yelled as he hurriedly retreated and started rubbing his feet. Damn, Shi Caihong looked like she was dainty and delicate but just one stomp of her feet made his feet start resembling pig feet.

Shi Caihong too knew that she was in the wrong but she didn\'t want to apologise to Little fatty who always sucked up to her, she rolled her eyes and waspishly snapped, " What were you standing behind me for? This is what happens to you when you don\'t care about time, place and situation. It\'s so dark, don\'t you know it\'s freaking stupid to stand behind someone?"

Shao Li Jun has been a bit interested in Shi Caihong since she was pretty and knew how to act elegant but it seemed as if she only knew how to act pretty and nice with Tao Guotin. He pursed his lips and with the support of the wall next to him, he walked away and came to stand beside his brother Tao Guotin and Kong Kun. Fine, he might not be as good-looking as these two brothers of his but he too was a second-generation rich heir and women chased after him, not once had he ever tried to chase after any woman and even if he did they would always reply to him politely.

If this was how Shi Caihong was going to treat him then he wouldn\'t mind keeping a distance from her as well.

After the dust settled down and the tomb finally stopped shaking everyone waved their hands in front of their faces before turning to look behind Li Yiqian. The place where a wall stood before was now completely empty and what was more, the entire place was stripped of light as if nothing could get inside it.

At this moment, Mei Xing gritted her teeth and said, " That\'s the real tomb of the Lost Emperor."

———-

The real tomb of the lost Emperor … though it sounded good while hearing as if they have made some very amazing discovery, the group didn\'t feel the joy of finding something like that. As they stared at the stairs that descended even further down, all they could think was that —- this place was really ominous!

"It\'s fine, It\'s fine," Li Yiqian was the first one to recover as he looked at the dark corridor behind him. " I mean old tombs like these are always filled with booby traps, there is nothing to worry about."

" Nothing to worry about?" Li Na did nothing to suppress her shrill voice as she pointed at the coffin on the left and said, " If the Emperor\'s tomb is down there, then whose coffin is in there?"

That was something that no one wanted to think about, little fatty looked at the coffin that was shrouded in darkness and said, " Maybe…Maybe it\'s an empty coffin? In the past, many Emperors\' real bodies were placed somewhere safe while a dummy was kept in a place where anyone can reach, maybe it\'s the dummy coffin?"

"It\'s not, don\'t be disrespectful," hissed Mei Xing as she tried to balance herself on one foot. She pointed at the mark of the sword on top of the room and said, " That\'s the Emperor\'s most loyal slave, she is placed outside his tomb with the hope that she will protect him even in the afterlife."

" How do you know that it is she? You can tell that much from just a mark?" Little fatty was really surprised he thought that his world views were going to refresh.

Fan Ehuang rolled her eyes and took out a torchlight from her black leather jacket and said, " Don\'t be stupid, didn\'t you see the portraits that were hanging outside the houses of the villagers? A woman was lying at the feet of the Emperor, she was the only one who wasn\'t kneeling to him instead she was sitting next to him on the floor. That\'s how Xing Xing must have figured it out."

"Oh," was all little fatty said.

" So what now?" asked Li Na as she dubiously looked at the tomb that stood in front of them. " Shall we go back or venture further in? I mean we only accepted the challenge that we will walk inside the corridor and take a picture in front of this coffin, I don\'t see why we should go further in."

" She is right," Mei Xing hurriedly echoed afraid that someone would say that they wanted to go down the stairs that led to the Emperor\'s tomb. " I think we should just take the damn picture here and leave, anyway we will be completing the challenge."

However before others could agree with her, Li Yiqian swaggered in front of the group and raised his hand as he said, " Woah, Woah, Woahhhh? Will you all stop and listen to me? This is our biggest opportunity, you see? We can go down there and take multiple pictures of the real Emperor\'s tomb, if we upload those pictures up on the internet think just how famous we all will become, I mean we all will be the first ones to step into the real tomb of the Lost Emperor, what do you all say? We will become overnight celebrities!"
