Chapter 151 Returning the Bones
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang stood up and quickly said to Chen Wenjin:
“Let’s go with my brother and sister-in-law, and we can pick up our luggage from the hotel.”
Yang Xueli also stood up; she could tell that the house was already cramped enough.
I've long since stopped wanting to stay here.
"That's good too. There are ready-made houses nearby. We can just go and pick up our luggage and move in right away."
Because the new house was still under construction, Chen Wenjin arranged for the brothers to rent houses nearby for safety reasons.
They rarely come back to live here; most of the time they are out running errands or on duty at the shop.
It's perfectly fine to make room for three people to stay for a few days.
"Shirley, come with me to a place later. Wenjin can help you get your luggage."
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, the atmosphere subtly changed.
Chen Wenjin's eyes flickered slightly, and he mentally raised Yang Xueli's danger level by one level.
But with outsiders present, she wouldn't embarrass Cheng Feng.
At this moment, Yang Xueli spoke up, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Miss Chen."
"Miss Yang, you're too kind."
Chen Wenjin maintained a polite smile and continued after speaking:
"Old Hu, Fatty, I'll take you to see the house, and then we'll go get your luggage."
"Okay, thank you for your help, sister-in-law!"
Before leaving, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang gave Cheng Feng a "you're awesome" look, and then left with Chen Wenjin.
No sooner had Chen Wenjin and the others left than Cheng Feng said to Yang Xueli:
"Let's go too."
After saying that, Cheng Feng led the way out of the living room, and Yang Xueli nodded to Huo Ling before following Cheng Feng.
Huo Ling squinted at the two people's retreating figures; she certainly didn't want another person moving into her house.
Chen Wenjin almost drove her crazy, so she made up her mind to interrogate Cheng Feng tonight.
After leaving home with Chen Wenjin, Cheng Feng walked down the street.
The surrounding crowd was noisy, but they remained silent among themselves.
Cheng Feng was momentarily at a loss for words; the previous ambiguity had led to this current situation.
But Cheng Feng didn't regret it; he could only say it was fate playing tricks on him.
"Where are you taking me?"
At this moment, Yang Xueli spoke up and asked.
"Go to one of my warehouses."
Cheng Feng responded with a complicated expression.
Yang Xueli did not press further, just as she had always believed in Cheng Feng in the ancient city of Jingjue.
Not long after, led by Cheng Feng, the two arrived at the backyard of the shop.
Cheng Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door. The Xieling disciples on duty inside opened the door, bowed respectfully upon seeing Cheng Feng, and said:
"Boss, you've arrived!"
Cheng Feng nodded in response, then led Yang Xueli into the courtyard.
"I'm going to the warehouse. Same as always, don't let anyone come down until I'm out."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Cheng Feng entered the warehouse.
After passing through rows of modern handicrafts, Cheng Feng led Yang Xueli to the underground entrance.
Open the mechanism, and a hidden door appears on the ground in the corner.
"It's a bit dark inside, watch your step."
Yang Xueli nodded silently.
The two then entered the underground passage one after the other.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the underground warehouse, Cheng Feng lit the ever-burning lamp inside.
Flames rose along the grooves that filled the warehouse, illuminating the entire warehouse.
This is quite luxurious lighting, which the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect usually don't dare to use; they all use their own flashlights when they come down.
Yang Shirley watched this scene without changing her expression. She worked for National Geographic magazine in the United States.
He's a worldly person, so he won't be easily surprised by these things.
“Shirley, I found a skeleton in the tomb of the King of Xian. I suspect he is related to you, so I brought him out.”
As they walked towards the depths of the warehouse, Cheng Feng spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xueli's expression changed abruptly, and she quickened her pace considerably.
Cheng Feng led Yang Xueli, whose expression was gloomy, into the small storeroom on the left, where a skeleton was placed on the altar next to it.
Yang Xueli hurried forward to the remains, and after picking up a badge from the tattered clothes,
Sadness had already spread across her pretty face.
Cheng Feng sighed as he looked at Yang Xueli, who was crying silently, and quietly went to the outside of the small warehouse.
He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.
Yang's father was a respectable man; he began searching for the Muchen Pearl even when Yang Xueli's mother was still alive.
He never remarried after his wife died because of a curse.
Instead, he gave up his comfortable life as a Wall Street tycoon and began risking his life to investigate clues across the country.
Ultimately, he tragically died in the Insect Valley of Yunnan.
As Cheng Feng lit his third cigarette, he heard Yang Xueli's footsteps coming from inside.
Stepping out of the small warehouse, Yang Xueli came to Cheng Feng's side.
"Thank you for finding my father's remains."
Seeing the sorrow welling up in Yang Xueli's eyes, and her forced attempt to appear strong,
Cheng Feng felt as if his heart had been violently clenched.
Driven by impulse, Cheng Feng ignored his concerns and reached out to pull Yang Xueli into his arms.
He raised his hand and stroked Yang Xueli's long, black hair, and said softly:
“Sometimes crying makes me feel a lot better. You don’t have to suppress your emotions in front of me.”
Yang Xueli leaned against Cheng Feng's chest, and gradually she began to sob.
"Why are you still bothering me when you already have two girlfriends?"
Cheng Feng, you're a bastard, jackass, I hate you..."
As she voiced her accusations against Cheng Feng, Yang Xueli's pent-up emotions began to pour out.
Cheng Feng silently endured Yang Xueli's accusations.
Before he knew it, a patch of Cheng Feng's clothes was wet.
ten minutes later,
Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli sat side by side on a platform made of gold bricks.
After venting her emotions, Yang Xueli felt much less stressed.
"Cheng Feng, can you tell me about the circumstances surrounding the discovery of my father?"
"I found your father in a mountain god temple above the tomb of the King of Xian, at that time..."
Cheng Feng recounted his experiences in the Insect Valley in detail.
From the encounter at Zhelong Village to the attack by the Ghost-Faced Eagle Owl,
There's also a red coffin inside a large banyan tree, and a mountain god temple at the underground entrance.
Yang Xueli listened quietly to Cheng Feng's story.
It wasn't until Cheng Feng finished recounting how he obtained the Muchen Pearl and left the Insect Valley on a raft that he spoke up:
"You clearly aren't cursed, so why are you taking such a huge risk?"
Go find this useless Muchen Pearl.
Cheng Feng was silent for a moment, then he lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and said:
"for you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xueli fell silent. This was the answer she wanted to hear, and also the answer she didn't want to hear.
"Come to America with me after the curse is lifted. Didn't you want to be with a rich woman? I'll take care of you from now on."
Yang Xueli stared at Cheng Feng with reddened eyes.
"Shirley, I can't let Wenjin and Xiaoling down."
Faced with the wealthy woman's invitation to be her sugar daddy, Cheng Feng smiled wryly and refused.
His feelings for Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were genuine.
Moreover, a man's possessiveness makes it impossible for him to abandon his woman.
