The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: All for You

“Ma Qin, we were truly blind to have agreed to let you join in the first place,” Zhao Si spat out, continuing, “I’m telling you, this matter isn’t over. Once we get out, we will tell everyone exactly what you did. Then, I’ll see who dares to let you into their team.”

Ma Qin was not convinced and was filled with hatred. However, she didn’t dare retort. Given what had just happened, Zhao Si and the others must have been completely dissatisfied with her. If she were to speak carelessly now, she would certainly be killed.

Amidst the drama with Zhao Si’s group, Lu Yichen and his mates hardly gave them a second glance.

Although the arrows had stopped firing, it was still uncertain whether there were other dangers ahead. Zhou Yifu and his group started to carefully examine the area, only proceeding after confirming it was safe.

Zhong Niangyao slowly stepped forward, picked up an arrow from the ground, and started examining it.

Lu Yichen approached Zhong Niangyao and asked softly, “Can you make anything out of it?”

“Sort of!” Zhong Niangyao pulled out a thick handkerchief from her bag, wrapped it around the arrowhead, snapped it off, and then stored it in her bag.

“The arrowhead has been poisoned with a potent toxin. I’m actually quite interested in it; I plan to study it when I get back.”

“I thought you were only interested in mystical techniques. I didn’t realize you were interested in these things too!”

Although he said this, there was no surprise in Lu Yichen’s tone, “You do have a wide range of interests!”

“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “I am very interested in the medical field. This poison is ancient and probably hasn’t been passed down. It’s a good opportunity to take it back for research.”

This was, after all, a bit of a gain from entering the tomb!

While the two of them were having a stop-and-go conversation, Uncle Li approached and respectfully said, “Master, we have surveyed the area. There are no dangers, we can now enter the main tomb.”

Lu Yichen nodded and then stepped towards the main tomb.

Zhong Niangyao followed him.

After Lu Yichen and his crew entered the main tomb, Zhao Si and Qian Wang exchanged glances and quickly followed.

With Lu Yichen’s group present, they knew that their bounty wouldn’t be as great as before. However, before setting out, they hadn’t anticipated the General’s Tomb to be this dangerous. Now, surviving was all they could thank the heavens for.

How much treasure they could acquire was all up to fate.

Unlike the barren exterior, entering the main tomb chamber was dazzling. The room was arranged like a young lady’s boudoir, complete with a dressing table, a folding screen, and even a huge wooden bed in the center. However, what lay on the bed was a huge coffin.

It was a Crystal Coffin. From afar, it was hard to see the figure inside clearly, but one could vaguely make out two figures.

The Crystal Coffin looked magnificent but felt chilling in this setting.

However, in a corner of the main tomb chamber, there were several large wooden chests.

The chests were closed, concealing whatever lay within.

Just looking at those chests, one could guess that these contained treasures. Previously outside, they hadn’t found any treasures. Now it seemed, all the valuable funeral goods were inside this main tomb.

Zhou Yifu stepped forward, put on special gloves, and then carefully started opening the chests.

There were eighteen chests in total. Every time one was opened, everyone could feel a dazzling brilliance. Gold bars, various jewels, treasures, and many antique calligraphies and paintings—each chest contained items of incredible value.

Zhou Yifu and his mates were hardly emotional about these treasures. Although initially surprised, they soon calmed down. After all, each person was a top figure in their own fields, and while not exactly rich enough to rival a country, their accumulations of wealth were significant. So, these treasures didn’t impress them much.

In contrast, Zhao Si and his group had a greedy glint in their eyes as they saw the contents of the chests.

They had guessed there would be valuable items in this main tomb chamber, but they hadn’t expected there to be so many treasures.

One could say that none of the tombs they had explored before could match the General’s Tomb’s riches. Indeed, the greater the danger, the greater the treasures.

However, despite their greed, they didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

There were only three of them, one being Ma Qin—a woman and an unreliable one, capable of stabbing them in the back at any time.

They had already been seriously injured outside earlier. Now, only one person among their opponents was injured, and it was a minor injury. Moreover, the opponents were armed with various advanced weapons. If it really came to a hard fight, they would undoubtedly be at a loss and might even lose their lives here.

Tempting as the treasures were, their lives were more important.

Zhong Niangyao stepped forward, picked up a string of pearls, her eyes filled with a trace of puzzlement.

Every pearl on the necklace was almost of consistent size and was naturally formed. Despite many years, the luster of the pearls hadn’t faded; just one glance was enough to tell that this was a treasure of great value.

“Do you like it?” Lu Yichen stepped forward, coming next to Zhong Niangyao and asked casually, “Take whatever you like when the time comes.”

Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but chuckle, “You’re generous, making decisions just like that.”

Lu Yichen shrugged nonchalantly, but his intent was clear.

“I’m actually quite curious,” Zhong Niangyao frowned, “This is the General’s Tomb, right? Why are there so many jewels? And that Crystal Coffin—”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao turned her gaze towards the central Crystal Coffin, “There are two bodies inside, if I’m not mistaken, they must be the General’s and the Princess’s!”

With these words, everyone suddenly recalled the story depicted in the murals they had seen upon entering the tomb.
