Chapter 118 - Xiao Yan: So I’m the bad guy, and you’re all the good ones? Me, the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family, reduced to a locksmith?

Under the gazes of the three people—

In front of the stone chair at the center of the stone chamber, there stood a wide, elongated, and somewhat strange-looking blue stone table.

On this table, three stone boxes were neatly placed—each one sealed with a lock!

No matter how one looked at it, the whole scene seemed off.

It looked exactly like it was deliberately set up for someone to come and take.

"You! Go find the keys and open them!"

Qi Yaner pointed her small finger at Xiao Yan and ordered.

"..."

Xiao Yan froze for a moment.

Keys?

Now she remembers to use keys?

Why didn't she use them for that door earlier?

Stone Door: o(╥﹏╥)oThank you, for speaking up for me!

Though he grumbled internally, Xiao Yan could only obey.

What else could he do?He was genuinely afraid that this little monster in front of him might suddenly "remember" his ring—and snatch it away!

As for the pile of gold coins and other precious items in the corner of the chamber, Xiao Yan could only bid them farewell.

While Xiao Yan obediently went to search for the keys—

Qi Yaner had already withdrawn her gaze from the glittering treasures.

Her eyes finally rested on a small flower bed in one corner.

In that flower bed, all kinds of flowers and herbs grew, filling the air with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Seeing them, Qi Yaner's eyes brightened instantly."So many flowers~ If only Sister Little Doctor Fairy were here too."

"Purple Orchid Leaf! White Spirit Ginseng Fruit! Snow Lotus Seed!"

Just then, a crisp female voice sounded from the cave entrance.

Qi Yaner turned her little head—and who else could it be but Little Doctor Fairy and Xiao Xun'er?"Sister Little Doctor Fairy, you came just in time! These herbs must be really useful for you, right?"

Qi Yaner pointed cheerfully at the rare herbs she couldn't recognize.

"Mm."

Little Doctor Fairy nodded slightly, her soft red lips curling.

"There's even something as precious as Ice Spirit Flame Grass—what a lucky find!"

"Big sister, how did you both come down here?"

Qi Yaner asked curiously, looking at them.

Xiao Xun'er's red lips curved slightly as she "complained,"

"Isn't it because of you, little troublemaker? You were gone for so long without a sound!"

Hearing that, Qi Yaner's eyes gleamed mischievously. Her small hand pointed straight at Ling Ying.

"So that black old man over there was the one who sent Sister Xun'er a message then?"

"Cough, cough~"

Ling Ying, who was directly called out, could only cough awkwardly.

Seriously, there's no secret that this little monster can't uncover!

"Hehehe~"

Qi Yaner giggled."Sister Little Doctor Fairy, these herbs are all yours then. I'm going to open the boxes!"

"Alright."

Little Doctor Fairy didn't refuse. Her gaze was already fixed on the precious herbs.

Meanwhile, Qi Yaner grabbed Xiao Xun'er's hand."Sister Xun'er, look at him!"

"Sigh~"

Xiao Xun'er already knew about Xiao Yan's presence from Ling Ying.

Now seeing this former "Brother Xiao Yan," she felt nothing but disgust.

"Didn't he run off with Medicine Venerable? How do we run into him here?"

"Who knows?"

Qi Yaner shrugged and pouted her tender lips."Maybe it's fate! Let's go take a look."

"Crack!"

Just then, Xiao Yan had already pulled off the skeleton's arm.

"Click, click~"

Qi Yaner walked over, her little face full of disdain.

"You little yellow, if you're getting the key, just get the key. How could you desecrate a senior's remains?"

"I…"

Xiao Yan gripped the key, a bitter expression on his face."This senior's body is just too old. The moment I touched it, it broke apart."

"Wow~ You're that strong, huh?"

Qi Yaner teased.

"Then how come when you slammed into that stone door earlier with all your might, it didn't even crack?"

"..."

Xiao Yan was utterly speechless.

Was that me "slamming"?You, the real culprit, don't even know?

"Sigh~ You really have no manners at all. What a sin, what a sin."

Qi Yaner bent her small body and bowed respectfully before the broken skeleton.

"Sigh~"

Xiao Xun'er sighed disdainfully but still followed suit and bowed as well.

Xiao Yan: (⊙o⊙)…

So I'm the bad guy, and you're all the good ones now?

"You still standing there? Hurry up and open the lock!"

After bowing, Qi Yaner looked up and saw Xiao Yan still dazed. She urged him impatiently.

"Alright!"

Xiao Yan almost wanted to cry.

To think that he, the dignified Third Young Master of the Xiao Family, had fallen so low—to a locksmith's job!

Just as he was about to open the lock, his eyes suddenly caught something underfoot.

At the broken end of the skeleton's arm—there was a small, tightly rolled scroll hidden inside!

This!!!

Xiao Yan's spirit jolted, and a few words instantly flashed in his mind—

"My treasure~"

Staring at the faintly visible ancient scroll, Xiao Yan swallowed hard and quickly averted his gaze.

He already had a plan.

After they finish taking whatever's in the boxes… that scroll—will be mine!

Hahahaha~Heaven, you truly treat me well!

Tossing the black key in his hand, Xiao Yan grinned and walked toward the stone table.

"Miss Yaner, I'm opening it now, alright?"

At his words, Qi Yaner didn't speak. Instead, her little foot was already raised—ready to strike if anything went wrong.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan dared not say another word. With an awkward smile, he inserted the first key into the lock of the first stone box.

"Not this one…"

The key had barely gone in before it stopped.

Xiao Yan shrugged with an embarrassed smile.

He quickly switched to another key—but once again, cold sweat formed on his forehead.

"Not this one either…"

"Can't you do anything right? Three keys, and you've already picked the wrong two!"

Qi Yaner snapped impatiently from the side.

"This one's definitely it!"

Xiao Yan's right hand trembled as he inserted the final key into the keyhole.

Click!

The sound of the lock opening echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

This time, Xiao Yan didn't waste any time.

With a swift motion, a burst of Dou Qi shot from his palm, flipping open the lid of the box.

Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Turning toward Qi Yaner, who stood there with her arms crossed, he said awkwardly:

"Uh… Miss Yaner, it never hurts to be careful."

"I know."

Qi Yaner nodded seriously."So now you can go open the second one."

"Uh…"

Xiao Yan's "refined" face turned bitter, but he could only step aside and continue working as the resident locksmith.

Qi Yaner came up to the stone table.

Looking at the stone box that was taller than herself, she huffed softly."Stupid table, why make it so tall? Sister Xun'er, take a look and see what's inside!"

"Alright."

Xiao Xun'er nodded, peered inside the box, and reached in with her jade-like hand—pulling out a colorful ancient scroll.

"What's this?"

Qi Yaner tiptoed curiously to look.

Hearing her, Xiao Xun'er unrolled the scroll, her eyes showing surprise.

"It really is a Poison Scripture! Sister Little Doctor Fairy, this is exactly what you need!"

Little Doctor Fairy, who had been digging through herbs nearby, immediately ran over excitedly.

Her beautiful eyes fell on the scroll, and she smiled in delight."Seven-Colored Poison Scripture! It even records so many poison formulas—and there's content about the Calamity Poison Body!"

The moment she said that—

Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying, and Xiao Yan were all stunned.

It really was recorded!

But the "age" of this stone chamber was far, far older than Little Doctor Fairy herself!Then Yan'er's father… how on earth had he planned all this out?

Wasn't this just too terrifying?
