The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Brother Chen Zi, I’ll Protect You

”Underground Palace?”

Little Taotie nodded her little head: ”Just like the Imperial Palace, built under the lake.”

Nie Qing rubbed his hands together: ”We’re going to be heroes! We’re totally going to be heroes this time!”

Just as Little Taotie was eating her third piece of candy, Mo Haihao’s car took the lead, followed by five others, arriving at the lakeside.

In total, 27 people got out, all from the Special Department.

Among them, there was even a Chen Zi!

Little Taotie ran up to Shen Cang and obediently called out, ”Head Grandpa~”

Shen Cang helplessly patted her head, ”You’re quite well-behaved today.” She didn’t rush blindly into danger.

Little Taotie, with dimples deep, smiled sweetly, ”I got lots and lots of chocolate and candy today~”

Shen Cang: ”...” Seems I jumped to conclusions too soon; the little one already fought a battle!

Shen Cang pinched the little girl’s cheek as a punishment, but didn’t say much more.

Little Taotie stood by Chen Zi, puffed up her chest, and put on a very reliable demeanor, ”Brother Chen Zi, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!”

She waved her little fist, showing how capable she was.

Chen Zi: ”...”

When he originally got drafted for this mission, he was indeed a bit scared.

But now, seeing Little Taotie, he wasn’t scared at all.

Zaizai’s little fists indeed gave people a sense of security!

Chen Zi relaxed a bit, forcing a smile: ”I heard we’re here to dig up a tomb?”

Little Taotie nodded: ”An ancient emperor’s tomb, built like an underground palace. He wanted to be an emperor even underground.”

Chen Zi couldn’t help but quip: ”He didn’t even ask King Yanluo for approval, dreaming quite a dream.”

Shen Cang came over to Nie Qing, asked about the situation, and learned that Little Taotie had single-handedly wiped out hundreds of Ghosts. He recalled the little girl happily telling him about the chocolates and candies she’d gotten, and couldn’t help but laugh, ”Indeed a great haul.”

Nie Qing was surprised to see this usual old stick-in-the-mud actually laughing.

Shen Cang waved to Little Taotie: ”Come here.”

Before running over, Little Taotie remembered to hold Chen Zi’s hand.

Chen Zi: ”...” He didn’t want to be in the spotlight before the head.

But in the end, he was still dragged to Shen Cang.

Chen Zi lowered his presence, head down, very quietly.

Shen Cang gave him a faint glance, then looked at Little Taotie and asked, ”There are many traps in the underground castle?”

”There are traps where a step would drop you into an abyss, places where touching the wall fires poison arrows, and just breathing would get you poisoned to death...” Little Taotie recalled the information she got from those Ghosts.

These were the memories left by the people who either intentionally or accidentally entered the lake bottom, discovered the underground palace, and got caught in the traps there, dying, leaving their resentment or Evil Thoughts with the Ghosts.

With this information, they weren’t completely clueless about the underground palace. Shen Cang sketched a rough map, giving a general idea of the underground palace’s structure.

Nie Qing, using the Compass, locked onto the entrance of the underground palace, which was right at the vortex.

Led by Shen Cang, who held one hand on Little Taotie and the other on Hua Jinyan, they entered the underground palace.

It wasn’t a reckless entrance because, armed with Little Taotie’s information, Shen Cang was confident about this operation. That was why he brought the two kids along, to broaden their horizons.

Little Taotie’s other hand tightly held Chen Zi’s, her soft little voice reassuring, ”Brother Chen Zi, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!”

Chen Zi: ”...” The leader is right here, I’m not scared, really, not at all!

Little Taotie already gave him a sense of security, plus with the Head of the Special Department, he dared to be bold!

Chen Zi’s steps even lightened up.
