In the beginning, the Sun father and son, Qin Ming, and Anya were a little doubtful of Chu Luos words.

After waiting for a few hours, Chu Luo suddenly gave each of them a waterproof talisman and said, Its about time. Everyone, lean against the stone wall and hold hands. Dont get washed away by the lake water.

Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, Anya asked worriedly, Chu, what about your father?

Chu Luo looked at Chu Yichen, who was lying there, and tried to think of a way.

Li Yan took out a thin whip and tied Chu Yichen to his back. While everyone was in a daze, he said to Chu Luo, Luoluo, open the tomb door.

Chu Luo nodded at him and forcefully opened the stone door with the power of a priest.

Water surged in from outside.

Anya was weak and almost washed away by the lake water. She was about to scream when a strong arm tightened around her.

Before long, the water level decreased.

Chu Luo said to everyone, Lets go out now. Otherwise, the tide will rise again.

Everyone would definitely listen to her at this time.

They walked to the stone door and swam into the lake.

Unexpectedly, they quickly swam to the surface and saw the sh.o.r.e beside them.

When they got ash.o.r.e, they found themselves on an island in the middle of the lake. There was actually a forest above.

Heavens, were finally out. Sun Tianhao lay on the ground and looked at the stars in the sky. He felt like he had just survived a calamity.

I wont go to the tomb again after all those near-death experiences inside. Its not a place for humans at all. I wonder what those tomb raiders think. Is money really more important than life?

Unable to stand Sun Tianhaos behavior, Third Master Sun raised his leg and kicked him. Kid, can you take note of your image?

After Third Master Sun reminded him, Sun Tianhao subconsciously glanced at Chu Luo.

At this moment, Chu Luo was helping Li Yan put her father down from his back. Sun Tianhao quickly got up from the ground and walked over to ask, Chu Luo, do you want my help?

Chu Luo didnt answer him and Li Yan glared at him coldly.

Sun Tianhao still bore a grudge against Li Yan for kicking him. At that time, he had clearly only wanted to say that he viewed Chu Luo as his younger sister, so he wanted to hear her call him Brother since he was about to die.

The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became. Sun Tianhao ignored his cold gaze and looked at Chu Yichen. Chu Luo, you have a father now. Are you very happy?

When Chu Luo heard this, she looked at him strangely.

What? Sun Tianhao was baffled.

Anya, who was standing at the side, finally couldnt stand it anymore and said, Uncle Chu left before Chu Luo was born. This is the first time Chu and her father have met. They dont have any feelings for each other at all. How happy can she be?

Blood is thicker than water. Even if its their first time meeting, they should have a natural closeness.

No, Chu Luo said. Hes a stranger to me.

Chu Luo was telling the truth. She wasnt the original Chu Luo at all. How could she have feelings for the original Chu Luos father?

Li Yan raised his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said, So be it. If youre willing, well give him everything that originally belonged to the Chen family.

Chu Luo thought about it and felt that this wasnt a bad idea, so she nodded at him.

Sun Tianhao wanted to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth.

While everyone was talking, Qin Ming had already picked up a pile of dry wood and set up a fire.

Even though there was a forest here, it was still desert weather after all. It was extremely cold on a winter night.

Everyone sat around the fire to warm themselves.

Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into his arms and asked her, Are you cold?

Chu Luo was a little embarra.s.sed to have so many people watching, so she pushed him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan tightened his grip on her and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, When we go back, Ill get the butler to help us choose a nearer wedding day.

Chu Luo blushed and whispered, Its not far from January 1st.

But I cant wait.

It was his lifes regret that she didnt marry him in his previous life. Now that he had memories of his previous life, he wished he could hold a wedding with her right now.

However, to his relief, they were already legally married.

When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips couldnt help but curl up.

At this moment, she suddenly saw Anyas mocking gaze from the corner of her eye.

Chu Luo pretended not to see it and buried her head in Li Yans arms. Im sleepy.

Li Yan hugged her tightly. Sleep. Well leave here tomorrow morning.

Chu Luo closed her eyes and searched in her Heaven-and-Earth pouch. I have a few more tents here.

When Sun Tianhao, who had been extending his ears and blatantly listening to the two of them talk about sweet nothings, heard this, he immediately asked excitedly, Chu Luo, you actually brought a tent. Quickly take it out. Im dead exhausted.

Chu Luo was woken up by his shout.

Li Yan glanced at him unhappily.

Sun Tianhao also realized that he had shouted too loudly and quickly shut up.

Chu Luo slowly took something from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.

Soon, the open s.p.a.ce beside her was filled with things.

There were tents, water, food, and even a barbecue pit.

Looking at the grill, Chu Luo said regretfully, If I had known earlier, I would have brought some meat. I really crave meat.

When Sun Tianhao and Anya heard the word meat, they swallowed their saliva.

They craved it too.

Li Yan caressed Chu Luos back lovingly and said, When we leave the desert, Ill let you eat all the meat you want.

Chu Luo smiled brightly at him.

Then, the men went to set up the tent.

Chu Luo set up a barrier around the tent again and the few of them finally slept peacefully.

The next day, Chu Luo used talisman paper to conjure a boat to transport everyone to the sh.o.r.e of the lake.

Third Master Sun looked at Li Yan and asked him, Xiao Li, there might be others underground. What do you plan to do?

Li Yan didnt answer immediately. He first asked Qin Ming, How many of our men are up there?

They could contact each other when they reached the ground. Qin Ming had contacted them last night. He said, There are only ten or so people left.

Not long after he finished speaking, those people gathered.

Including Anyas men, there were a total of 30 people.

Master, Boss.

There werent many people left on the Sun familys side, but it was much better than being entirely wiped out.

Third Master Sun only said, When we go back, lets comfort those peoples families.

The skeletons of the people who died underground were gone. He couldnt even bring them out.

Master, the explosives we buried previously can blow up this place now.

Theres no need to blow it up.

Chu Luo said, Lets go to Loulan City first. After we get there, Ill make this place disappear.

Other than Li Yan, the others were all shocked by Chu Luos words.

However, when Chu Luo stood in the open s.p.a.ce beside the fountain in the city and made everyone stand back, everyone felt a strange sense of reverence for no reason.

When Chu Luo walked to the middle of the open s.p.a.ce alone, the surrounding aura changed instantly.

Chu Luo stood there, closed her eyes, and kept chanting.

Instantly, the winds and clouds changed drastically. The entire sky seemed to be enveloped by an invisible barrier.

After a while, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake.

Whats going on?

What is Miss Chu doing?

Is it an earthquake?

While everyone was still in shock, a phoenix flew out of Chu Luos body. Most of them bent their knees and actually had the urge to kneel down.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of reverence and respect.

After some time, Phoenix returned to Chu Luos wrist and she opened her eyes.

Li Yan walked up to her.

Chu Luo said to him, Its done.

Li Yan nodded and quickly exuded a powerful domineering aura. He turned to everyone and said, No one is allowed to tell anyone what you saw today.

Even if Li Yan didnt say anything, a voice in everyones hearts told them not to say anything. Otherwise, they would offend the G.o.ds.

The journey back was smooth.

After walking for three days, everyone got out of the desert. It was only past five in the afternoon.

It was that town again.

This time, everyone put down their things and went to the Gobi desert to roast meat.

Sitting in front of the fire, the two towns chiefs personally welcomed them.

Moreover, they kept looking at them as if they were lucky.

One of the village chiefs raised his wine bowl and said to them, Youre the first batch of people to come back after going to the desert some time ago. I say, this money is enough as long as its enough to spend. It might not be a good thing to ask for too much money.

When they returned, many people had seen it and wondered if they had brought back any treasures from the tomb. The two village heads had sharp eyes and could see it at a glance.

The other village chief also said, What a pity, that group of archeologists. I heard that there are a few professors and teachers from Imperial University inside.

Chu Luo also felt that it was a pity. Previously, she had specially reminded them. Since they didnt want to believe her, there was nothing she could do.

Everyone sighed and started drinking.

The wine in town entered their throats with a burning sensation. After drinking, their entire bodies were hot. Everyone had stayed in the desert and the tomb for more than ten days. Every day, they felt a chill in their hearts. Once they started drinking, almost everyone drank too much.

By the time Chu Luo sensed that Li Yan had drunk too much, his head was already on her shoulder.

Chu Luo deliberately asked him, How much did you drink?

Not much. Just one jar I think.

Its indeed not much, but can you walk back yourself later?

Yes, I can even carry you back.

With such clear logic, ordinary people definitely couldnt tell that he had drunk too much.
