Chapter 94: Chapter 94

The people inside the tomb didn’t know about the abnormalities outside of it because there was no need to use the communication device for the time being, and they didn’t know that it could no longer be used. Everyone was wholeheartedly exploring the ancient tomb, so they didn’t mind it much.

Gu Bai had a slight feeling that something was wrong, but he was already determined to uncover the tomb’s secrets. Naturally, he wouldn’t cower away and would be inwardly vigilant.

Unlike the desert outside, the inside of the tomb was very damp because of the nourishment of Yin energy, and there unexpectedly were toxic grass and insects in the tomb. There was no indication of the water shortage in the desert outside.

After walking through the passageway, they didn’t know how many meters below ground they were. The faint sound of dripping water echoed back. It was obvious that the tomb was surrounded by an underground river.

“….. Does everyone remember the python skeleton that we just passed when we went around the corner? There was a faintly protruding pointed horn coming from the top of the skeleton’s head. It’s very obvious that it wasn’t a python or something similar while it was alive. Rather, it was a dragon from the legends of the ancient Earth’s people…… There’s a legendary dragon in the tombs that’s encircled by a river. We’ve walked for so long, only to trudge through a single passageway. With such large written characters, the scale of this ancient tomb should exceed the norms for an Imperial tomb by far. It’s very likely that this is a grand underground palace!”

While she walked, Nangong Xuan confidently explained to everyone like she was a tour guide.

The Interstellar people really understood too little about Earth’s people from 10,000 years ago. Nobody held the slightest amount of doubt towards her words. They were all invested in her explanation of the mysterious ancient Earth’s culture.

There was also a wave of praise from StarNet. These were old professors who had lived for one or two hundred years and still didn’t necessarily have as thorough of an understanding compared to Miss Nangong. Miss Nangong unexpectedly knew so much, she really was too incredible, and she really was worthy of being the Empire’s genius, blah, blah, blah……

Gu Bai listened to her nonsense and didn’t speak. While he observed, he used his tiredness as an excuse to clamber onto his man’s back to enjoy his tenderness. From time to time, he confessed, “Admiral, I love you with the force of a planet’s explosion. No, that’s not enough; the universe is infinite, and there is no end to time. These aren’t enough to describe my love for you……”

The formidable admiral continued to collapse his character, replying, “I know, darling. In fact, I also fell in love with you at first sight. It was like a planetary explosion, sudden and passionate. It’s hard to describe……”

When everyone heard the sappiness, StarNet bustled with liveliness and activity. Admiral Han really had been enchanted by him, and now it was being broadcasted to the entire Interstellar. Wasn’t he afraid that this kind of corniness and character collapsing would cause people to scold him? Wasn’t he afraid that it would damage his dignity as an Imperial Admiral?

The king and the head of the Han Family already couldn’t bear to look directly at the broadcast and facepalmed. The communication device currently couldn’t be connected. They just wanted to connect to Admiral Han and tell him not to do such humiliating things, but they couldn’t. They could only watch.

The exploration of the mysterious ancient tomb continued on. Although there were many poison-tipped arrows, poisonous gas, snakes, insects, and so on along the way, these types of traps weren’t much to the Interstellar people, who lived in the dangerous universe. The traps were all solved one after the other.

Very quickly, they walked through passageway after passageway and cave after cave. They finally arrived at a large stone pit. When they saw the scene in the pit, they all couldn’t help but cover their mouths.

In the large stone pit, the skeletons of the dead were closely packed together. It was difficult to guess how many there were. From a distance, it was just like a sea of corpses, making people’s scalps numb.

“This should be a sacrificial pit. What the ancient emperors liked to do the most was to bury people alive to accompany the dead&#k2026;&#k2026;”

As Nangong Xuan explained to everyone, the mood onsite was grave. There was a moment of silence on StarNet. This was the superstition of their ancestors.

“This really is too terrible. Fortunately, we were born in the Interstellar. How could our ancestors be so superstitious? Science and technology confirmed a long time ago that humans don’t reincarnate……”

There were people who couldn’t help but lament that this method of burying people alive as sacrifices was too cruel.

Especially in the Interstellar, when human reproduction was becoming more and more difficult, every single person’s life was important. The Imperial law wouldn’t rashly sentence anyone to death. It really was difficult for everyone to accept something like burying people alive.

Gu Bai didn’t refute them, but he didn’t agree either. There were no absolutes in the world, and as a person who had become a soul, he could confirm the existence of reincarnation.

Now, however, the world had grown into the Interstellar. For some reason, it appeared that humanity had separated itself from the control of the afterlife.

After death, humans in this world wouldn’t go to the afterlife for reincarnation. Weak souls would be turned into dust by the influence of the universe’s magnetic fields. Only powerful souls could quickly seek out pregnant women to reincarnate themselves.

If these things were said out loud, not only would the Interstellar people not believe them, if he hadn’t experienced and understood it and once been a person from Earth, he wouldn’t have believed in souls either.

“Well then, we should continue and go further in. Maybe the emperor’s main tomb is right in front of us……”

After a while, the head of the college spoke up so they could continue.

Everyone nodded and followed. However, they had just taken a few steps before someone suddenly screamed.

“What happened?” In the quiet atmosphere, the sound was especially loud. Everyone couldn’t help but stop and look at the person who had screamed.

“Nothing, it just got cold all of a sudden. The thermal insulation function of my Starsuit is no longer working…… None of you are cold?”

It was the man who hadn’t cared about Gu Bai’s protective jade and disdainfully misled people with his lies. He wrapped his arms around his chest. His face was white, his lips were puffed up, and he was shivering all over. He looked like he was very cold.

When he asked this, everyone shook their heads. “No, it’s not cold. Did you get sick? Or is there something wrong with your Starsuit?”

With the Starsuit’s thermal insulation function, no matter what the temperature was outside, their body wouldn’t feel too cold or too hot unless there was a problem with their body or if their Starsuit was torn.

“Maybe the Starsuit is torn……”

The man thought and believed that that was it. There wasn’t a problem with his own body, so there had to be a problem with his Starsuit. He ran to a nook to change into another one, but it was still very cold. He shivered oddly another few times. He couldn’t help but take some medicine and changed into yet another Starsuit. It was slightly better than before.

No one paid much attention to this small incident. Gu Bai looked at him again and couldn’t find any problems, but he persistently felt that something was wrong. Because he couldn’t clearly enunciate it, he didn’t speak up. However, his intuition told him that the situation was getting worse and worse.

At the same time, the people of StarNet who saw this scene set off a storm.

“Heavens, look quickly, it looked like there was a woman crawling on his back!”

“It’s true! And she was still wearing ancient people’s clothing. The dripping blood is too terrible. How could they not see it……?”

“T-t-t-this can’t be…… Is that a ghost? I heard from my teacher in the ancient Earth culture class that ancient people were superstitious. They said that people would become ghosts after death. T-this was unexpectedly real? It’s too inconceivable!”

The Interstellar’s science and technology instruments had inadvertently recorded the existence of souls, which caused a storm on StarNet. This simply subverted the understanding and scientific ideas of everyone of the Interstellar and other celestial bodies.

But what currently made everyone even more terrified was that unexpectedly, none of the exploration team saw that there was a ghost amongst them. It was difficult to imagine what would happen next.

Everyone was sweating for the people in the ancient tomb.

They didn’t know about StarNet’s storm. After leaving the sacrificial pit, they walked forward for a while and finally stopped to rest in front of the wide wall of a mountain.

The exploration of the ancient tomb, which was supposed to have taken an hour or two complete, had now gone on for several hours. They had dealt with many traps along the way. However, they unexpectedly hadn’t found the emperor’s coffin or the main coffin room.

Han Lijun and the other soldiers could still continue onward, but the group of professors who spent long amounts of time in laboratories needed to rest and drink nutrient fluid to replenish their stamina.

“This is a small snack from my previous research. It’s called a bean paste bun. Sweets can raise people’s mood, so everyone please try it……”

After everyone sat down, Nangong Xuan rushed out to pretend again.

Before she left for the exploration, she had already made many preparations. This time, it was a live broadcast to the entire Interstellar. Naturally, she wanted to show off.

Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary working woman. She wasn’t very impressive in the vast sea of people. However, she would have never imagined that she would be so popular after arriving in the Interstellar. She instantly felt like she was reaching the pinnacle of her life.

She had originally thought that Admiral Han, the Empire’s male god, would surely fall to his knees before her pomegranate skirt. But who would have known that a Gu Bai would pop up. During these two days, she hadn’t accepted it at all. A tall, rich, and handsome Mr. Perfect like Han Lijun ought to be hers. After all, she was the transmigrated protagonist.

It was with great difficulty that she could make the bean paste bread. Because the food was excellent and tasted even better than what she had on Earth, she was very confident that she could definitely capture the stomachs of these Interstellar people.

It was a pity that our Admiral Han was even more interested in beauty than he was in food. His solemn, courteous refusal immediately turned Nangong Xuan’s expression unpleasant.

Gu Bai laughed sweetly into his sleeve. He reached out to grab the bun, then looked at Han Lijun with a gaze full of adoration, looking every much like the incarnation of a coquettish bitch.

“Admiral, my heart is becoming restless for you again. It really is regretful that the Interstellar live broadcast is running right now, so I can’t take another probe into the topic of love with you. But now, we can take a look at how beautiful it is for lovers to eat together. Come on, I’ll take a bite, and you take a bite. We’ll sweetly take another bite together……”

After he finished speaking, he took a small bite, then raised it to his man’s mouth. The admiral that had just been solemn immediately turned into a softened man. The pair shared the bun between them, their love uninterrupted. It was so sickening that people wanted to die.

He must be doing it deliberately, he must be doing it deliberately, he must be doing it deliberately! Another mouthful of sweetness!

Nangong Xuan, who had completely become part of the backdrop, gave a heavy sigh and retreated with a dark expression. She expressed that what the eyes didn’t see, the heart didn’t grieve over. She unceasingly rubbed her hands over the goosebumps on her body and secretly scolded: This rotten, sickening Interstellar world!

At this time, a quarrel suddenly started across them. A white-bearded old man had turned red and pointed at the person in front of him in anger.

“Alright then, you guys are deliberately bullying an old man, aren’t you? I’m aware that I’ve always enjoyed good food throughout my life, but Miss Nangong’s culinary talent is something an ordinary person can’t have a taste of! Which one of you unexpectedly hid my bean paste bun? The Interstellar live broadcast is going on right now, so aren’t you losing face?!”

When everyone heard what he said, they all looked at him cluelessly. Gu Bai’s attention had also been drawn by the quarrel that had been caused by a single bean paste bun.

At the same time, all of the netizens on StarNet grasped their chests. They stared at the scene on their screens, trembling in fear and swallowing their saliva……

The joke flew over so many people’s heads last chapter…..(一。一;;）
