Chapter 113 - Burial Mound, Exploration (1)

At Yongning County’s ancient city.

Qi Hao and the others set off from the hotel in Yongning County. At the same time, they turned on a livestream and greeted the fans who were watching as they chatted and laughed from time to time, preparing to take a taxi to the tomb of Yongning’s King Ying.

They had just stopped a car and were bargaining with the driver. However, when the driver heard that they were going to King Ying’s tomb at the imperial residence, his face immediately changed, and he waved his hand, stepped on the gas and left.

Qi Hao and the others flagged down no less than four or five cars, but unfortunately, none of the drivers would go. This place was remote and didn’t have many taxis. Qi Hao gritted his teeth and waited until he flagged down another car. He got directly into the car before he said where he was going, and only then did he give the address.

Seeing the change in the driver’s face, Qi Hao immediately doubled the price. Seeing the driver’s expression loosen slightly, Lu Chengfu on the side also worked harder to raise the price a bit more; only then did the car owner agree.

The owner of the car was surnamed Yang and was in his forties. He had an average family background, so came out to make a living as a driver. Yang Zhixin had a pretty good character, and even though the money they gave him had softened his attitude, he still had to persuade them. “I know that you tourists want to go to King Ying’s tomb at the imperial residence. That place is too strange, and I advise you not to go there. I’ve heard that it’s very creepy. Many travelers have gone there, but none have ever come back! If you really want to go, I won’t send you there directly. At most, I’ll send you to a nearby bus stop. It’ll take ten minutes from there to get to the tomb.”

As soon as Yang Zhixin said this, this group of hedonistic young masters all voted to go.

Lu Chengfu and the others weren’t concerned. “Why do you think we came to such a remote godforsaken place when we have nothing better to do? Of course, we came specifically to explore that so-called tomb of King Ying. The creepier it is, the better. Just nice, there’s a bit of a challenge! It also gives us a chance to livestream.”

Si Yinghua, Jian Chongying, Wang Xuewen, and Qi Hao also echoed, “Exactly, if it isn’t challenging, why would we go? We’re not afraid of it being creepy, we’re just afraid that it isn’t.”

They had heard of the evils of King Ying’s tomb in Yongning County, but in their eyes, it wasn’t evil, but mysterious. Thinking back to the wuxia dramas they had watched before, they thought they might be lucky enough to find some sort of martial arts manual.

They had only decided on this plan a few days ago, precisely because they were hoping to encounter something exciting and challenging, so instead of cowering after listening to Yang Zhixin, they conversely wanted to go even more.

After repeatedly confirming it with these people who were probably hedonistic young masters, he didn’t persuade them anymore. Wang Xuewen went to get his bag out of the boot of the car and was about to get back in and close the door.

Three 18- or 19-year-old girls rushed out and immediately blocked the car door. Sun Jiezhen was smart enough to first ask the driver if he was going to King Ying’s tomb at Yongning County’s imperial residence.

When the owner of the car replied affirmatively, Sun Jiezhen, Jiang Meng and Chen Bing immediately expressed their desire to carpool. The main reason was that this place was too remote and there were too few cars to begin with, let alone cars going to King Ying’s tomb. It hadn’t been easy for them to find a car that was willing to go, so how could they miss this opportunity?

Sun Jiezhen and Jiang Meng used their looks to their advantage as they whined to Qi Hao and the others in the hopes of being able to hitch a ride.

Qi Hao wasn’t interested and instead teased the woman in front of him, “Sister, we only have one car. How can the three of you squeeze in with us?”

Wang Xuewen, Si Yinghua and the others who were usually the best at chatting up women saw that the three girls in front of them were all very beautiful, so how could they disagree? They immediately said, “Haozi, it’s not easy for girls, so we have to treat them with tenderness, right? If we squeeze together, we can make space, right?” Saying that, Wang Xuewen and the others were afraid that the driver would disagree and say that there were too many people, and only finally managed to convince him after much persuasion.

The three girls immediately got into the car.

“Are you guys also interested in King Ying’s tomb?” Sun Jiezhen struck up a conversation. At her question, the chatterboxes on both sides opened up. They probably had things in common, so they chatted animatedly and quickly got to know each other.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wang Xuewen, Si Yinghua, and Lu Chengfu in particular, who saw that Sun Jiezhen and the other girls were pretty, spoke in a more jovial and charming manner, making Sun Jiezhen, Jiang Meng and Chen Bing laugh uncontrollably.

Qi Hao frowned and glared at Wang Xuewen and the others, a bit displeased that they were divulging everything to these strangers. They were really impressive, not forgetting to chat up girls even in the middle of nowhere.
