After finishing exploring the secret room they began to find a way out. The surrounding walls were very flat, and there were no objects that might be secret mechanisms.

Si Chenyu and Wang Shichan searched for a long while but to no avail. They couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan wandered around without any worry at all, his leisurely and carefree appearance truly did seem rather hateful.

Si Chenyu said with discontent: “Nie Bufan, you can at least help out!”

“Aren’t I helping?” Without even turning his head, Nie Bufan continued tapping his fingers on the wall, then laughed, “Listen, is there an echo?”

When Si and Wang paused to listen, there was indeed a sound coming from the other side of the wall. However, it was not an echo, but the sound they had heard before that was similar to the sound made by a living creature crawling around.

Wang Shichan said: “Bufan, don’t knock anymore, there is something inside.”

“Of course there is something inside.” Nie Bufan replied naturally, “Otherwise, why am I even knocking?”

Si and Wang were speechless. Was this the point?

Seeing that their faces were as green as tortoise shells, Nie Bufan kindly stopped the act of knocking on the wall and began to join in the search for secret mechanisms while playing with the night pearl in his hand.

The light in the room given off by the night pearl flickered as a result of his fiddling with it, which added a sinister feeling to the already gloomy secret room they were in. More importantly, the flashing light caused one’s eyes to hurt.

“Nie Bufan, you should rest.” Si Chenyu suggested in an extremely sincere tone. He felt that this guy was too full of energy. Just awhile ago they had been producing clouds and rain, but now he was jumping around as if nothing happened.

“You have me help then I must help, and now you have me go rest then I must go rest. Am I, Nie Bufan, so easy to order around?” Nie Bufan snorted.

Si Chenyu felt like kicking himself. Why did he forget that this guy always liked to sing the opposite tune? He made a misstep, a misstep!

At this time, Wang Shichan said, “Bufan, put the night pearl on the stone platform, it is not convenient for you to hold it like this.”

“Oh.” Nie Bufan obediently placed night pearl on the stone platform.

“Why does he listen to what you say?” Si Chenyu was very upset.

Wang Shichan gave him an aloof and profound look in the style of a Buddhist master.

“……” Si Chenyu fell silent.

At this moment, a sudden “bang” came from the corner of the wall, followed by the sound of hard dirt falling, as if something had penetrated through the wall.

Both Si and Wang startled at the same time. They followed the sound to a small hole as wide around as a cup that had appeared on the wall and a……chicken head poking out of it?

The chicken head also seemed to be startled by them. It was about to retract but Nie Bufan grabbed its neck quickly with fast eyes and hands, praising: “Not bad, the hole has even reached here.”

The two small beady eyes on the chicken’s head blinked, showing a cunning and proud expression.

“Come out, if we can’t find the exit later, then you go call your brothers and sisters to come dig a passage for us.”

The chicken eyes rolled to show whites, appearing very reluctant. It tried to retreat into the hole a few times without success, and had no choice but to admit its fate.

Si and Wang heard what Nie Bufan said in their still dazed state, and then simultaneously looked at the hole that could only fit an arm……To what extent did they have to compress themselves in order to climb through that small hole?

More importantly, how come a chicken can drill holes?

The chickens in Chicken Nest Village could watch the house, track, poison, talk, pretend to be dead, splash, swim, fly, climb trees, stand upside down, and now they could even dig holes!

In truth, Nie Bufan you are actually a chicken demon spirit, right? Just what kind of monsters are you raising?

The chicken in the hole expanded the hole a bit with its wings and then nimbly slipped through it where it then proceeded to shake the dust from its yellow brown feathers.

Si and Wang couldn’t understand how a chicken could use its wings to make holes? Could it be that its wings were actually some kind of magical weapon disguised as ordinary wings?

Nie Bufan patted the head of the yellow brown chicken and had it stand at attention in place. He then turned his head and said to Si and Wang: “Actually, I found out soon after we came in. This stone platform seems to be movable. Come and take a look?”

Since there was such an important discovery, why not say it earlier! Si Chenyu roared wildly in his heart. He once again realized the evil taste this guy had, taking delight in slowly revealing the main points after others had already worked hard for some time.

Si and Wang walked over to check and indeed found that the connection between the stone platform and the ground seemed a bit weird. They tried to turn it left and right, but nothing happened.

Nie Bufan squatted on the side and looked on for a long while with his chin propped on a hand. Finally he couldn’t help but alert them: “The stone platform is square and it is built into the ground very steady and stable. How much strength do you think it would take to turn it?”

“……” The two of them froze and suddenly felt that they were very stupid.

It could not be blamed on them. Coming from wealthy families, they were indeed top-notch in their knowledge and learning. On the other hand however, their common sense and practical ability was worthy of sympathy.

“Then what do you think?” Si Chenyu squeezed out the words.

“If you can’t turn it left or right, then try up and down.” Nie Bufan gave directions.

So the two put their hands on the stone platform and pressed down forcefully at the same time.

A loud rumbling sound was heard and the door of the dark room slowly opened.

Nie Bufan stretched out two victory fingers with a triumphant expression that read: I’m really smart.

However, Si Chenyu and Wang Shichan received a deep blow. In the series of actions just now, they had managed to reveal their IQ flaws and now their self-esteem was shattered into flakes. Don’t know when the pieces would be able to be glued back together.

The three people left the dark room without a hitch, and Si Chenyu said to the two of them: “When we take an inventory of the collection later, can you keep this room secret for the time being?”

Wang Shichan nodded and Nie Bufan agreed, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say anything.”

It was even more worrying if you promise with such seriousness! Si Chenyu gave him a conflicted look.

Nie Bufan looked at the closed wall of the secret room, and suddenly sighed with feeling: “Duobao Sage is indeed a talented person. He placed the imperial seal of this country high in the center and surrounded it with the six foreign countries on both sides. From this his meaning is very self-evident. Moreover he actually had the ability to collect so many treasures, it can be seen just how much of a calamity he was in the past. Fortunately, he has already ascended to the heavens, otherwise one can’t imagine just what the world will be like with him still around to spread his chaos?”

You don’t have to be humble, your own chaos is no less lacking!

The three strolled around this treasure room again and then walked to the other side of the passage.

Nie Bufan finally realized that the chickens that should have been around him had all disappeared, and he couldn’t help but yell, “Chickens, where have you all gone——”

Gone——gone——gone—— It echoed up and down the passages.

“Where are you?” Li Huai’s voice came from the other side.

“I’m calling the chickens! What are you answering for?”

Li Huai choked and after a while he roared, “You mentioning chickens reminds me, these chickens really make people angry. Do you know just how much destruction your chickens have done to a library we found?”

“How much?” Nie Bufan asked back without any guilt.

Li Huai was about to answer when he said again: “Okay, you don’t need to say. It’s not as if you don’t know their destructive power. If you have the ability then you can go directly to them to discuss this issue. I won’t help either side.”

Could you still be called not helping either side! You are actually shirking the responsibility instead, right? What would be the point in discussing this with a chicken?

Just as Li Huai was jumping with fury, Li Yi said: “Bufan, all passages in this treasure trove should eventually lead to one place so we’ll all meet up there.”

“Okay.” Nie Bufan responded with a smile.

At this time, the scattered chickens rushed back one after another.

Nie Bufan pointed at them and scolded: “You’re all a bunch of heartless chickens! Leaving your master alone and running away by yourself. Don’t you think this kind of behavior requires criticism?”

The chickens drooped their heads and put on an appropriately repentful look.

“Hmph, you will be locked up in the little black house after we go back.” Nie Bufan tried his best to intimidate them, but they remained completely unaffected.

Just what kind of small black house was strong enough to close them up? This was the era when chickens dominate the world!

After the lesson was over, Nie Bufan led the large chicken army along with Si and Wang down the passageway.

This time they didn’t encounter any more mechanisms. In just half the time a stick of incense burnt down, they had arrived at the end of the passageway.

As soon as they walked out of the passageway, the three people and chicken army saw a very ambiguous picture. The graceful and elegant gongzi, Chen Muran, had his arm supporting the willow waist of the Tian Nu, Nineteen. They were both leaning at a 30 degree angle, as if dancing the waltz, the posture very intimate indeed.

When Chen Muran noticed the new arrivals, a panicked exoression appeared and he reflexively withdrew his hand. As a result, Tian Nu fell to the ground with a tragic scream of “Ah”.

Nie Bufan tsked and said, “Chen Gongzi, even if you want to make clear that you two have an innocent relationship, you don’t need to use such a rude way! Just look at what you did to Tian Nu!”

“Apologies, lady Jing Rou, are you alright?” Chen Muran looked embarrassed and reached out to help her up.

Nineteen’s face was distorted for a moment, but she quickly smoothed it over, squeezing out a forgiving smile and saying gently: “It’s okay, people have a slip of the hand and horses have a stumble of a hoof, it is normal.”

With that, she took Chen Muran’s outstretched hand and prepared to get up.

At this time Nie Bufan spoke up again: “Say, did Chen Gongzi have a slip of a hand or a stumble of a hoof?”

……………

An army of ellipsis crawled across.

Awkward silence!

Gagagaga! The chickens all let out cackles, giving their master face. The noisy cackles sounded particularly frightening in the echoing cave.

Si Chenyu tugged Nie Bufan to the corner and had him stand there. He then turned around and asked, “Why did Tian Nu also come down?”

Tian Nu took a deep breath and replied: “I hope Prince Si does not mind me. This humble girl also wanted to see the treasure trove built by Duobao Sage, so I entered the treasure trove with the assistance of Zhang Gongzi. I also left marks along the way so on the way back it will save some time.”

Si Chenyu nodded, he and the other people holding the keys didn’t mind the Tian Nu entering. After all, she was the key person who provided the location of the treasure trove. But, what was the situation between her and Chen Muran just now?

He was puzzled, but as a gentleman he did not take the initiative to ask probing questions.

At this time, there was a sound from another passageway, and Li Yi and Li Huai appeared in front of everyone.

“Everyone is here? Tian Nu is here too?” Li Huai greeted everyone one by one but deliberately skipped Nie Bufan.

Li Yi walked directly to Nie Bufan’s side and scanned his body with a sharp gaze. He then squinted his eyes, revealing a bit of danger and accusation.

Nie Bufan puffed out his chest and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, “What are you doing? You miss me this much after just a few hours, completely forgetting yourself at the sight of me?”

Li Yi was not fooled by him and gave him a stern look that read: we will be talking about this. The look was clearly conveying intentions to settle accounts afterwards.

Nie Bufan pouted his lips, wondering who to look for to act as a shield when he returned……

The several of them gathered together to briefly narrate their findings. The abundance of the treasures collected by Duobao Sage far exceeded everyone’s expectations. They decided to send someone to take an inventory before discussing on how to split it up. Given the large number of objects, it would likely take more than a month to take a full inventory.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This trip to explore the treasure trove could finally be considered as having come to an end, one that was full of surprises and chicken feathers.

In the future, a sign should be set up at the entrance of the treasure trove, engraved on it would be: Nie Bufan and chickens are not allowed to enter!

While they were speaking, Nie Bufan suddenly let out several grunts.

Si Chenyu and Wang Shichan stopped talking and looked at the source of the sound, only to see him squirming to get up while his eyes remained closed and his face still with a drowsy expression. His hands groped against the wall and he began to move sideways like a crab.

“Um……where is my bed?” He muttered dazedly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He was obviously not awake yet! Si and Wang thought at the same time.

Wang Shichan walked over to support him, but before he could the other’s footsteps suddenly staggered. With waving hands he knocked against a bronze object from its spot on the shelf. A “boom” echoed and the familiar noise of having activated a mechanism sounded again. The wall that Nie Bufan was leaning against suddenly opened inward, and he fell back unsuspectingly.

“Be careful!”

Wang Shichan and Si Chenyu shot forward together, holding Nie Bufan on both left and right. Under the influence of inertia, the three fell into the secret passageway together.

The door of the secret passageway turned 180 degrees to close back again, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

It must be said that the mechanisms in this treasure trove were really everywhere, and one could meet them without even having to look for them.

The matches on them were all soaked in water when they first fell into the dark river, and they were no longer usable.

In such an impenetrably dark place, even martial artists like Wang and Si, who had better vision then normal people, couldn’t make out the surrounding environment.

“Find the mechanism.” Si Chenyu, who had been trapped once, was calm and turned around to begin looking for the mechanism.

While Wang Shichan supported Nie Bufan, he fumbled towards the other side.

The two touched a handful of dust, but they still didn’t find the mechanism.

At this moment, there came a rustling sound in the ear, as if some living thing was moving in the wall. That kind of sound was especially clear in the dark and silent chamber, the intermittent scratching sounds causing a chill to reach all the way down to one’s bone marrow.

The two stopped their movements and watched vigilantly for the movement around them, their breathing slowing down.

“What’s the matter?” Nie Bufan’s voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, breaking the solemn silence.

“Hush, be quiet.” Si Chenyu replied, “We fell into a secret passageway.”

“It’s dark, why don’t you light up the lights?” Nie Bufan asked again.

“We would have lighted the lights long ago if there were any usuable matches.” Si Chenyu said irritably.

Nie Bufan fell silent, and then began to explore something on his body. After a while, light appeared before the three people’s eyes and a glowing night pearl appeared in Nie Bufan’s hand, illuminating the surroundings.

“Where did this come from?” Si Chenyu asked in surprise.

Nie Bufan squinted at him and said with disdain: “And you’re a prince? You don’t even know how to take precautions at all. There are so many luminous objects in the treasure room, but you don’t know to take a few for lighting.”

He had clearly kept the two night pearls because of their “beauty”, but Nie Bufan spoke as if he was more prescient, both his tone and expression extremely arrogant.

Si Chenyu was so angry that his gums itched and he wanted nothing more than to pinch this arrogant fellow several times. He had even wanted to compliment him, but now forget it.

“Do you have a headache?” Wang Shichan touched Nie Bufan’s forehead and asked in a low voice.

“Yes!” Nie Bufan furrowed his eyebrows and looked at him, strangely, “Brother Wang Fifth, you are here too? What happened?”

“You were drunk before.” Wang Shichan replied, “When half asleep, you set off the mechanism so we entered this secret passageway.”

“You actually drank wine, where did you get the wine?” Si Chenyu leaned over and sniffed his mouth. As expected, he smelled a scent of wine. For him who was used to drinking fine wine, he knew that the wine Nie Bufan had drank was of excellent quality.

Nie Bufan pushed his face away. His head still felt a little groggy but this did not hinder his calm thinking and sharp use of language: “Alright, isn’t it just a couple of sips of wine? What’s the fuss? Pay attention to our current situation, Lord, Prince, Shi!”

Si Chenyu couldn’t help it this time, reaching out to grab him and teach him a lesson.

Wang Shichan guarded Nie Bufan and said mildly: “Prince, pay attention to your demeanor.”

Demeanor? Si Chenyu’s face was black, speaking of demeanor in front of Nie Bufan was no different than tormenting himself!

But this was really not a good time to teach people a lesson. Si Chenyu took a few deep breaths, glared at Nie Bufan, and then began to look around.

This was a small secret passageway of no more than 50 square meters, with walls on all sides. A stone platform stood in the center with a square box placed on it. Three large boxes were placed on either sides of the stone platform. The metal on the outside of the box was rusty, and a heavy metal lock was also on each of the boxes.

The three of them walked over and carefully observed whether there were any mechanisms hidden around them. After confirming that there was nothing out of place, Si Chenyu took the lead in picking up the small square box on the stone platform. Despite its size it was rather weighty.

There was a peculiarly shaped lock hole on the lid, which obviously required a special key to open it.

It seemed that the only way to get it unlocked was to find a locksmith after going out. Si Chenyu thought so.

“The key? This one?” Nie Bufan took out an odd-shaped strip from somewhere and handed it to Si Chenyu.

“Where did this come from?” Si Chenyu was surprised again. Could this guy stop being so unexpected all the time? It’s not as if he was a treasure chest containing anything one could want?

Nie Bufan glanced at him contemptuously first, then pointed to the right side of the stone platform and said: “Did you not see that there are thirty-six keys here?”

Si Chenyu and Wang Shichan bent down to look at it at the same time, and saw a complex pattern carved on the sides of the stone platform. At first they thought it was decoration. So it turned out the inlaid objects could be removed?

“With so many keys, how can you be sure that this key will open this box?” Si Chenyu asked again.

“The color.” Nie Bufan knocked on the box with the key, and said with confidence, “Don’t you see the color of the keyhole of the box and the key is the same?”

“How could it be so simple?” Si Chenyu took the key and said while inserting it into the keyhole, “Duobao Sage is a master of mechanisms, and it is absolutely impossible to set up such a simple obstacle……”

Before he could finish speaking, they heard a “click” and the box opened.

Si Chenyu was silent and suddenly felt that his IQ had dropped inexplicably.

Seeing him standing still, Nie Bufan took the box and opened it.

“Hey, this is……” He took out a jade square seal from the box. On the top of the jade seal was carved with an ancient beast. The carving was exquisite and meticulous. Archaic characters were also engraved under the seal, which Nie Bufan didn’t recognize.

When Si Chenyu saw it, his complexion changed, and he quickly grabbed it saying in surprise: “It’s actually the imperial seal!”

“Imperial seal?” Wang Shichan’s gaze also fell on the square seal, but his expression did not fluctuate much.

“‘To receive the Mandate of Heaven’.” Si Chenyu read out the lettering on the jade seal, and said solemnly, “The jade body is carved with the sacred animal Mo Luo and with the sacred animal Zhi Ya carved on another imperial seal they are known as the two great guardians of auspiciousness of our country.”

“The words engraved on the other imep5rial seal is not ‘Enable the common people’s longevity and the nation’s everlasting prosperity’, right?” Nie Bufan asked hesitantly.

“Of course.” Si Chenyu gave him a strange look that conveyed ‘did you even need to ask.’

So it really was. Nie Bufan was speechless. He didn’t expect that in this world “To receive the Mandate of Heaven, enable the common people’s longevity and the nation’s everlasting prosperity” would be divided into two imperial seals.

“Since it is the imperial seal, shouldn’t it be in the hands of the emperor?” Nie Bufan asked again.

“Three hundred years ago, one of the imperial seals went missing and there had been no news since then. Successive emperors have been responsible for searching for the imperial seal, but unexpectedly it turned out to appear here.” A trace of surprise flashed in Si Chenyu’s eyes.

“Oh.” Nie Bufan replied witu disinterest, and his eyes moved to the other large boxes.

Si Chenyu put the imperial seal back in the box and put it away properly, joy on his face.

Nie Bufan squatted down and began to try out the keys to the locks on the boxes. This time he couldn’t match them by color so he could only try them out one at a time.

“Kacha”, one box was opened.

Nie Bufan lifted the lid enthusiastically, and instantly a golden glow appeared in front of him, and when he looked closer it turned out to be piles of gold coins.

Their country did not use gold coins. Obviously, this was a box of foreign gold coins.

Si Chenyu and Wang Shichan were both attracted, squatting next to Nie Bufan to pick up a gold coin to examine.

The gold coin had a person’s head carved on one side and a crown on the other with words engraved on the edges. Nie Bufan couldn’t even recognize the language ​​of this country, let alone foreign languages. If it was still his original world, then at least he had good English and French skills. But the text on these gold coins were more like “runes” and outside of several major languages.

“This should be the currency of the Alor kingdom.” Si Chenyu recognized it however. As a prince, he would often have contact with some foreign envoys, and his knowledge was quite extraordinary.

“Alor kingdom?” Wang Shichan said, “it had been destroyed about seventy years ago.”

Si Chenyu nodded: “Yes, so this box of gold coins must not have been easily come by. Alor is tens of thousands of miles away from our country. After the kingdom was destroyed, all the original coins were recast, and there are fewer and fewer gold and silver Alor coins left in the world. The emperor only has about ten in his collection. This country’s coin making technology is very superb. It would be great if this technology could be introduced into our own country.”

At this time, Nie Bufan flipped out a stack of scrolls that seemed to be made of animal skins from the inside of the box, and asked, “Could this be the technology you want?”

He handed the roll of animal skin to Si Chenyu.

Si Chenyu took a closer look, and exclaimed in surprise: “Yes, this is exactly the process of coin construction! Duobao Sage is indeed no ordinary human, to be able to go to this extent!”

Then, the three opened the five other boxes one after another, which all contained foreign goods and corresponding manufacturing processes, including advanced technologies such as shipbuilding, construction engineering, and glass smelting. Each item could create huge wealth and accelerate national development.

However, Si Chenyu’s expression gradually changed from the initial delight to solemnity.

Nie Bufan looked at him strangely and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Shouldn’t you be happy to find so many good things?”

“The things are really good, not just good but too good.” Si Chenyu said with a calm face.

Nie Bufan’s eyes swiveled and they flashed a little bit with understanding. He said with a smile: “Are you worried that you won’t be able to explain it to the emperor?”

Si Chenyu startled and looked at Nie Bufan abruptly.

“Don’t worry, you can give me all of the thorny treasures and put them in Chicken Nest Village. I guarantee that it will be perfectly safe.” Nie Bufan patted his chest generously.

“Don’t make trouble for yourself.” Wang Shichan pulled him over and said with a stern tone, “What are you doing getting involved in the royal affairs?”

He sometimes really worried that this guy’s playing around would lead to his own death. He had a clever and perceptive mind. Although he usually spoke arrogantly and acted without rules, he was actually very soft-hearted. He always expressed concern for people around him in his own way, even if that kind of concern could sometimes drive people crazy.

But this time they couldn’t let him mess around. The complicated power struggles and political calculations were definitely not suitable for him.

Let’s just be an honest chicken farmer!

Si Chenyu also said: “It’s okay, I will take care of it.”

Nie Bufan shrugged and said, “Alright, then you can figure it out by yourself.”

Si and Wang did not dare to be careless. They were deeply suspicious of Nie Bufan’s character and warned him repeatedly.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan felt that he had been discriminated against. He pointed his finger at the both of them and said angrily: “Is there anyone in this world who is more honest than me?”

You are wrong. You should ask if there is a more honest chicken in this world than you. Don’t compare yourself with your fellow humans……

Both Wang and Si wisely kept silent and did not provoke him any more.

Nie Bufan followed the chickens toward the depths of the passageway. The surroundings were dimly lit, the air was cold with musty floating dust in it, and occasionally one could hear the sound of some small creatures crawling in the corners.

“Where should I go?” Nie Bufan asked in a low voice, looking at the fork in the road not far ahead. Although the sound was small, it sounded particularly loud in the quiet space.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

A chicken jumped out of a fork in the road, clucking a few times.

Nie Bufan nodded to express his understanding, and walked into the side road with the chickens.

After walking a few steps, he looked back, and it seemed that Si Chenyu’s roar could still be heard even after such a distance. The earth-shaking roar before really did give him a scare. But when he thought of him naked and making such an idiotic pose he felt that it was worth it. It was a pity that he didn’t have a camera, otherwise he would have another wonderful thing to add to his collection.

Just as he was thinking, another treasure room appeared in front of Nie Bufan’s eyes. The light inside was slightly yellow and the room was much brighter than the passageway.

He walked in quickly, and at first glance, he saw the large night pearls placed in each of the four corners. They were as big as the mouth of a bowl and any one of them was extremely valuable.

Nie Bufan cursed in a low voice: Evil rich people! He then decisively took out two of them and stuffed them into his shoulder bag, leaving two night pearls behind for light. In truth, he didn’t have much love for money. Instead, he loved this kind of pure natural lighting function that the night pearls could provide.

Looking around he saw that this treasure room had only one entrance that also acted as the exit. On the three walls, there were shelves made of stones. In the shelf on the right, there were several rows of jade boxes, around forty and in varying large and small sizes. The jade boxes were smooth and cold to the touch, with crystal clear texture. Regardless of what was inside, these jade boxes alone were enough to buy a large manor.

Nie Bufan took one down and opened it to see. What was placed inside was something like fine sand in a pure golden color and smelled like some kind of light fragrance. Although he couldn’t recognize what it was, since Duobao Sage used this jade box for preservation, it could be seen that its value far exceeded the jade box itself.

He looked through several other jade boxes and they contained all sorts of strange oddities such as the lumpy, the granular, and even viscous liquid.

Nie Bufan lost interest after looking through it for a while. He turned and walked to the left side of the wall.

There were a lot of porcelain jars in the shelves here. Some of them had fallen on the ground and broke into pieces. Nie Bufan could not make out what the pile of black and yellowish things were. Although it was already rotten, it didn’t have any smell.

He got up and carefully removed a whole porcelain jar stuffed with a cork cover. After pulling the cork out, he saw that there were still several layers inside.

“It’s sealed quite tightly.” Nie Bufan muttered to himself.

There were a few chickens clucking around, seemingly excited.

Before lifting the last layer, Nie Bufan smelled a refreshing fragrance of wine. When it was fully opened, the entire treasure room was filled with the aroma of wine.

“Huu……how fragrant!” Nie Bufan was intoxicated for a while, then smiled, “This is really good stuff, it’s a century-old brew!”

The chickens all crowded over, surrounding him in a dense circle, flapping their wings and clucking.

“Okay, you can all have a share. I’ll let you taste it after we go back.” Nie Bufan waved his hand generously.

In truth, these chickens might not really like to drink, but they had a keen sense of smell and couldn’t help but feel restless when they smelled this scent.

“I’ll try it first.” Nie Bufan took out a wooden spoon from his pocket, took a spoonful and drank slowly.

As soon as it entered his mouth a sweet and fragrant aroma permeated his senses and even the tip of his tongue felt slightly numb. The sensatiom was as if there was a slow and warm current flowing through all of his limbs, and even his spleen and lungs suddenly felt relaxed.

Nie Bufan couldn’t help taking another sip. This time it felt a little bit different. It was sweet with bitterness, bitterness with tartness, and the spiciness was also a bit stronger.

He thought it was strange so he took a third sip. After taking the third sip, he suddenly felt his blood rushing and surging, his heartbeat intensifying, and his whole person floating as if in the clouds. Even his soul was completely immersed in the fragrance of the wine.

Nie Bufan sighed. He had never felt so comfortable before. He was not a person with any special craving for wine, but at this moment he had to admit that this jar of wine was very special and made people feel a little bit overwhelmed.

Resisting the desire to continue drinking, he sealed the mouth of the jar again. He then warned the chickens while returning the jar to its place: “You must not break these wine jars, or I will stew you!”

The chickens grumbled in protest but they still scattered away obediently.

Nie Bufan nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the shelves in the middle. He had just walked a few steps forwards when he felt his head becoming heavy and his vision becoming blurred. He staggered against the wall, his entire body beginning to heat up.

Aiya, this was bad, the alcoholic intoxication had finally settled in.

Nie Bufan sat down on the ground along the wall and rubbed his legs. Just now he had finished a round of love-making and had yet to recover his physical strength. And now on top of that he had drank alcohol. It really was the start of leading a befuddled existence.

Eyelids drooped down involuntarily, and he forced himself to remain awake enough to look at the environment, wondering to himself how likely it was to take a nap here.

“Guys, please help me to keep watch. I want to sleep. If there is an emergency, just call out to me.” Nie Bufan warned drowsily before tilting to one side and falling asleep.

The chickens looked at each other, exchanged dozens of incomprehensible mysterious glances, and then walked outside in unison. They walked quietly without leaving a trace, ruthlessly abandoning their master……

Don’t know how much time had passed before a slight windy sound blew by in the passageway. Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed into the treasure room like lightning.

Under the dim light, the person’s face gradually became clearer, and it was Wang Shichan, the most superior qinggong master in the world.

He startled when he saw Nie Bufan leaning on the wall and hurried to his side, carefully supporting him up.

“Nie Bufan, Nie Bufan.” Wang Shichan patted his face lightly. Seeing that his lips were slightly open and there was still a scent of wine on his breath, he had some guesses in his heart——this guy actually drank himself drunk?

Wang Shichan let go, and Nie Bufan fell back to the ground where he curled in his legs and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, Wang Shichan’s gaze sharpened and he pulled Nie Bufan up again. Moving aside his clothes, he saw several tooth marks on the back of his neck and several suspicious hickeys on his chest.

So he really did do something he shouldn’t with Si Chenyu just now?

Wang Shichan recalled the ambiguous moanimg sounds he heard across the stone walls before, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

He stared at Nie Bufan’s sleeping face, poked his forehead with his hand, and reprimanded, “You are a little damn bastard!”

In order to thoroughly confirm the suspicion in his heart, Wang Shichan took off Nie Bufan’s pants decisively and raised his legs to check his lower body.

Red and swollen and twitching. Sticking his fingers in, he also felt a little wetness.

Nie Bufan twisted his body and groaned unconsciously, “It hurts……”

Wang Shichan squinted his eyes and didn’t withdraw his fingers, remaining motionless with his fingers still stuck inside. Nie Bufan clamped his legs and squeezed on his fingers tightly, causing them to rub slightly against his inner walls.

Wang Shichan’s eyes darkened, watching his flushed face and half dressed body that was dotted with ambiguous hickeys. His two slender legs were bent and folded, posture like that of a child, innocent and without any guard up.

“Why can’t you……” Wang Shichan murmured softly, his expression revealing a little exasperation.

He took out his hand and was about to help Nie Bufan get dressed, but suddenly stopped. He harrumphed, hugged him into his arms and let him sleep on his shoulders, still in his half dressed and disheveled state.

Nie Bufan’s head rubbed against Wang Shichan’s chest. He seemed to have found a comfortable position and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help showing a smile of satisfaction.

Wang Shichan lowered his head and pressed a kiss on his lips, hugged him closer, and then began to meditate.

At this moment, another person walked in from the outside, and it was Si Chenyu. He didn’t expect to see the intimate scene of the two hugging and leaning against each other. He saw Nie Bufan’s clothes wide open and most of his skin uncovered and exposed, lying lazily in Wang Shichan’s arms with a contented look on his face.

This guy couldn’t have had a round with Wang Shichan after having done it with him, could he?

Si Chenyu thought of this with much discomfort, an anger that his possession was taken by others rose in his heart.

“Unexpectedly, the Wang Gongzi who has no desires also has this kind of interest?” Si Chenyu said sarcastically.

“I can’t compare with the prince.” Wang Shichan looked at him indifferently, not at all nervous about being caught in ‘having an illicit love affair’, as if holding Nie Bufan in this way was justified and natural.

A cold light flashed in Si Chenyu’s eyes. He paced in with his hands behind his back, and asked: “What’s wrong with him?”

“Sleeping.”

He could actually fall asleep in here? How carefree was this guy? The truth was that he was too tired, right? Si Chenyu slandered in his heart.

“You……did it with him?” Si Chenyu asked again.

“I did.” Wang Shichan admitted calmly.

Si Chenyu didn’t expect him to answer so candidly and was speechless for a while.

At this time, Wang Shichan carefully put Nie Bufan aside then stood up and faced Si Chenyu. He said, “What happened just now? Did you force him?”

“What?”

“I heard his yelling.”

“Isn’t he often yelling like that?” Si Chenyu said casually, “Don’t you know his personality? Lawless, impolite, lacking of any respect towards those of higher stations, no stopper on his mouth, etc. He has an unsavory track record.”

“Since he displeases you so, why did you cross that boundary?”

Si Chenyu was silent.

Wang Shichan said again: “He indeed doesn’t care about worldly ethics and teachings and he lives unrestrainedly. But maybe even he doesn’t realize that he actually values ​​everyone around him. It seems that he has no concerns, but he is actually timid and lonely. It is easy to build a relationship with him. But if he was abandoned by someone who he values after investing his emotions in them, it will inevitably bring him great harm.”

“What do you mean by this?”

“Lord Prince is a member of the royal family. It is absolutely impossible for you to do anything that will damage the royal dignity. To you, Bufan may be just a plaything that is used to past the time and can be discard at any time. Whether he is there or not it makes no difference for you so why do you make him one of your lovers?”

“I am a member of the royal family, but is Wang Gongzi not a member of the aristocracy? Are you not afraid of being burdened by the stigma?”

“I am different from you. My family has long regarded me as removed from the secular world. I can live in seclusion without worry and accompany him for life.”

“How long have you even known him that you are willing to give up everything for him?” Si Chenyu asked in surprise.

“I believe in fate and I believe in my choice. I didn’t lose anything, on the contrary, I now have him.” Wang Shichan looked at Nie Bufan, his eyes were burning, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, “If I stay, he will definitely be with me through all the days in the future, never leaving, never abandoning.”

Si Chenyu couldn’t help but sarcastically say: “Don’t forget, you are not his only man.”

“I know.” Wang Shichan turned his gaze back to Si Chenyu and replied, “Do you think he provoked so many men just for the sake of pleasure? I’m sure that even if he had to remain abstinent for life, he will not feel any discomfort at all. It’s us who are the ones unable to resist our desires.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Si Chenyu couldn’t refute it. Although Nie Bufan often teased others unconsciously, his eyes were clear and he didn’t have that kind of lewdness or lustful thoughts.

“Lord Prince, I hope you can think carefully about how to deal with your relationship with Bufan.” Wang Shichan’s eyes were cold. “If you dare to hurt him, then I will definitely not remain courteous. Moreover, don’t you know how difficult it is to find such an oddity in this world?”
