Li Xiaoran said, “It won’t spoil. It’s cooler in the underground passage, especially when the weather outside is hot. It’ll seem much cooler inside. If you don’t believe me, go into the underground passage and try. I think we have to open all the entrances in this underground passage to ventilate it. Otherwise, it’ll smell bad inside!”

“I don’t recommend opening all the entrances to the underground tunnels. We’re too short-staffed to guard every entrance. If someone slips in, your people in the cave will be in danger,” Luo Cheng said while shaking his head.

With that, Luo Cheng took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

“Bring two pills with you. They can improve the smell wherever you go, so you won’t feel so uncomfortable!”

With that, Luo Cheng poured out two pills and stuffed them into the sachet Li Xiaoran was carrying.

Sure enough, after the two pills entered the sachet, the air around them immediately became much fresher.

After that, Luo Cheng gave Wu Qinghe, Shu Ruyue, and Lin Ning two pills each.

Luo Cheng said as he put away the porcelain bottle, “The effect of this pill can last seven days! As long as you wear this, you’ll feel much better!” Li Xiaoran immediately felt refreshed after obtaining such a good thing.

“Husband, why didn’t you take it out earlier?! This pill smells so good. I like it very much!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was amused.

“Do you think of this as some sort of incense?

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “This is better than incense!”

Seeing that Li Xiaoran liked it, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else.

Nothing else was important as long as Li Xiaoran was happy.

Luo Cheng said, “If you like it, I’ll make more for you in the future and let you wear it every day!”

When Zi Zheng heard this, he immediately had a new understanding.

Although this pill only had this small effect, it needed high-quality herbs, so it would really be a waste to use it as an incense for Li Xiaoran. However, Luo Cheng was willing to dote on his wife.

As the saying went, money couldn’t buy kindness.

If Li Xiaoran liked it, Luo Cheng was willing to use it to make her happy.

On second thought, if his future wife was half as good as Li Xiaoran, he would be willing to dote on her as well!

Luo Cheng didn’t care what Zi Zheng thought. At this moment, he was still worried about Li Xiaoran’s safety, so he called her out of the cave and gave her some things to protect herself.

Luo Cheng reminded her carefully, “You already know how to use this bracelet, so don’t hesitate to use it at the critical moment. Also, you know about the medicine I gave you. Use it when you need it. Don’t be reluctant to use it! I think Lin Ning is trustworthy, but don’t trust him completely. As for Su Zheng, you have to pay special attention to him. Don’t let him play any tricks. Although I fed him medicine, he can still think!”

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “This time, you just need to save Lin

Ning’s mother. Don’t worry about the others for now! As long as the matter of Shatai Village is resolved, those women will be saved. If you get soft-hearted and save them now, you might encounter the people of Shatai Village when you come out and they might lose their lives in vain!”

Li Xiaoran remembered Luo Cheng’s words.

“Husband, don’t worry! I have the ability to keep an eye on Su Zheng. If Wu Qinghe follows us, we won’t be afraid of getting lost. Ruyue can also protect my safety, so you don’t have to worry about me! On the other hand, you have to be more careful! No matter how powerful you are, you’re still alone. Try to outsmart the enemy. Don’t lose your life because of your pride! To me, no amount of money is more important than you!”

What was home? It meant having someone to accompany you. When you went out, someone would miss you. When you were travel-worn, someone would welcome you with a bright smile!

Luo Cheng knew very well what kind of wife he needed.

Li Xiaoran was smart and capable, but what he loved the most about her was her sincerity towards him.

Whether a person took one to heart or treated one sincerely didn’t depend on one’s words. It depended on one’s actions.

Luo Cheng was already surrounded by the love Li Xiaoran gave him.

Luo Cheng reached out and hugged Li Xiaoran as he whispered in her ear, “Got it. You too. Take good care of yourself!”

After the couple finished speaking, they packed up and prepared to get busy.

The rice ball was already pinched and placed in the bag. The water bag was also filled with water.

Li Xiaoran waved at Luo Cheng and entered the underground passage with the Night Pearl.

Because of the pill, Li Xiaoran was in good spirits.

Lin Ning tied Su Zheng up with a rope and walked in front of him.

Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue walked in the middle, while Wu Qinghe walked at the back.

When they encountered a fork in the road, Li Xiaoran chose a path based on her intuition. Then, Wu Qinghe also chose a path.

Surprisingly, Li Xiaoran chose the same path as Wu Qinghe every time.

Su Zheng was very anxious and he felt that this was his chance to escape.

He was very familiar with this place!

And Lin Ning was the one who was watching him.

He might be able to fool this kid.

With this in mind, Su Zheng opened his mouth to say something.

“Lin Ning!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Ruyue came over and tapped Su Zheng’s mute acupoint.

Lin Ning glanced at Shu Ruyue in surprise and asked, “Why did you tap his mute acupoint?!”

Shu Ruyue said righteously, “Xiaoran said that if this person speaks on the way, I should tap his mute acupoint. We didn’t ask him anything, but he wants to speak, so he must have ill intentions and is preparing to trick us! Instead of wasting time being tricked by him, why don’t we stop him from speaking right from the beginning?! Don’t you want to find your mother? We’ll bring you to find her! Only when we can’t find her can we undo his mute acupoint and let him speak!”

When Lin Ning heard Shu Ruyue’s words, he felt that it made sense.

The reason he wanted to bring Su Zheng along was because he was worried that they wouldn’t be able to find their way down. In that case, they could interrogate Su Zheng.

Therefore, tapping his mute acupoint now was a good idea! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Su Zheng heard this, he became anxious!

However, he couldn’t speak now, so he could only curse at the people around him inwardly.

When Li Xiaoran heard this person scolding them inwardly, she wasn’t angry at all.. Instead, she listened in amusement with a smile!
