401 : That Ass-Kissing Chicken

Chapter 401

That Ass-Kissing Chicken
Translated by Rachel of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Ling Xiao folded his arms and looked at You XiaoMo with his eyebrows raised. “Are you imagining yourself as a lizard?”

You XiaoMo ignored his ridicule and beckoned him over to speak, “Pretend to walk over as if nothing is happening. I have important things to tell you.”

Ling Xiao did as told. But instead of acting like nothing was going on, he pretended to walk over as if he was a man with a purpose. “Spit it out. What are you playing at?”

“I found out that there could be a secret mechanism here.” You XiaoMo whispered.

“Really? Let me see.” Ling Xiao pried You XiaoMo away from the wall that his body was pressed against. Sure enough, he saw a fine crack on the wall, not more than one centimetre in width and twenty centimetres in length, forming a square.

“I suspect this could be a mechanism. Maybe if you press down on it a door of some sort would appear.” Before this, You XiaoMo felt that for such a big place there must be some of secret mechanism somewhere. If not, it would surely not live up to the name of being an underground palace. So he felt around and had really found it.

“You give it a try.” Ling Xiao said.

Rubbing his hands together with enthusiasm, You XiaoMo was itching to proceed.

“Then I’m pressing it.” His hands had already reached for it.

Ling Xiao was about to say something, but You XiaoMo had already pressed down on it.

Then… there was no then.

At this moment, a female practitioner in front suddenly whipped her head around to look back. Seeing the empty space behind her, she made a sound of confusion.

The male beside her heard her voice and turned his head to ask, “Shimei, what’s wrong?”

“Shixiong, I think I heard something from the back. And I think I saw two people there just now. They disappeared when I turned around.” The female practitioner kept thinking that it was her eyes playing tricks on her but it didn’t feel like it either. She seemed to have really heard something.

“Maybe it’s just two weirdos. There are a lot of eccentric people who entered the underground palace this time. Just ignore them. We just need to watch out for ourselves.” The man chuckled.

“Ahhhh!!!”

In the pitch black tunnel, a high pitched scream, mixed with the sound of surfaces scraping each other, could be heard, amplified several times in the narrow space.

You XiaoMo tightly clinged to Ling Xiao but his body was constantly sliding downwards due to inertia. This blasted thing! He didn’t think it was really a secret mechanism. After he activated the mechanism, a long and winding sliding tunnel appeared. They didn’t know where it led, all they knew was that they were sliding down non-stop.

Ling Xiao wrapped his hands around You XiaoMo’s waist as he changed their positions. After he was sure that they were in no imminent danger, he took the time to scrutinise the sliding tunnel. The tunnel was about a meter wide and pitch black. He then felt the surface of the sliding tunnel. It was slippery and ice cold too, like it was made from some sort of metal.

After sliding for nearly twenty minutes, a trace of light appeared in front of them.

It was like a beacon in the pitch black tunnel.

You XiaoMo had also noticed and he asked fearfully, “There aren’t spikes at the end of the tunnel, are there?”

“That’s great. It just happens to satisfy your hunger for secret mechanisms.” Ling Xiao replied.
