Chapter 309: Isn't it only the Long Di who knows? How could you possibly know?

After resting in Zhuo Shishi's sleeping quarters for a period, Li Chen continued to explore this place.

The scale of the tomb was huge, and there were many palaces; Li Chen had no way, so he could only search one by one.

Beside them was a palace that looked very elegant; Zhuo Shishi indicated that this was the sleeping quarters of Consort Xiang. Consort Xiang was different from her; it was said that Consort Xiang was the Long Di's childhood sweetheart.

In Zhuo Shishi's view, Consort Xiang certainly wouldn't be easy to handle and wouldn't cooperate.

Li Chen smiled; whether she cooperated or not was no longer up to her—he had plenty of ways here.

In this place, Li Chen felt only peace of mind when using the "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture."

Anyway, it was a technique created by the founding emperor of your previous dynasty; it's very reasonable for me to use it on you, right?

The arrangement of the sleeping quarters beside them was extremely luxurious, yet it revealed a sense of elegance.

The walls were hung with exquisite silk curtains, and complex flower and bird patterns were embroidered on the curtains—every needle and thread appeared incomparably delicate.

The ground was paved with soft carpets, and one could see that every needle and thread was top-grade, with no lack of gold-thread phoenixes and luan birds.

It could be seen that it was simply not on the same level as Zhuo Shishi's room.

Inside the room was a large carved bed, with light gauze curtains hanging at the four corners of the bed, and tiny pearls dotted on the curtains, flickering with soft light as they swayed lightly with the breeze.

On the bed, a plump and stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire lay quietly.

Her figure was full and charming, her curves exquisite; even lying down, one could see her proud figure.

Her bodice was slightly open, revealing a touch of snow-white.

Her facial features were exquisite, her skin white, her nose bridge high, and her lips like cherries.

She carried a faint smile, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Her hands were folded on her chest, her fingers as long as jade, and her nails were painted with a faint pink, appearing exceptionally soft and beautiful, which also made Li Chen feel very appetizing.

Zhuo Shishi looked at Consort Xiang before her and swallowed her saliva; she was a little worried that Li Chen wouldn't be able to handle it.

Wu Nanzhi beside her comforted her: "Don't worry, there was a Sage Realm woman named Xuanji before, whose personality was stubborn, but wasn't she handled by Your Majesty? Your Majesty is omnipotent."

Wu Nanzhi unconditionally believed in Li Chen; in her view, there was nothing Li Chen couldn't handle.

Hearing her say this, Zhuo Shishi nodded and just watched the show from the side.

The awakening ceremony lasted for two hours before Consort Xiang became obedient to Li Chen.

Zhuo Shishi felt somewhat unable to understand why Consort Xiang's attitude changed so quickly.

At the beginning, she glared at Li Chen, but later she became as gentle as water.

However, she didn't dwell too much on this problem and could only attribute it to Li Chen's personal charm being too strong.

After all, she knew Li Chen's strength.

Consort Xiang's original name was Nangong Xiang, and she was the eldest daughter of the Nangong clan, a great noble clan of the previous dynasty.

The status of the Nangong clan in the previous dynasty was very high, second only to the imperial clan.

She didn't become the Empress, but her power was no less than the Empress's.

According to Zhuo Shishi's statement, the harem struggle of the Long Di was also very fierce.

When she first entered the palace, she had no power and no influence and was often scolded by other consorts for making mistakes.

Zhuo Shishi saying this was also telling Li Chen from the side that she was very weak and needed protection.

She hoped that entering Li Chen's harem wouldn't lead to being bullied by other consorts.

She wasn't as good at fighting for power and profit as other consorts, and looking at this situation, Li Chen's consorts would become more and more numerous.

Hearing this, Li Chen laughed heartily and said to Zhuo Shishi: "You don't need to worry about this; aren't the consorts with power and influence in my harem right beside you?"

Zhuo Shishi then reacted and looked at Wu Nanzhi with respect, saying softly: "Sister Nanzhi, I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."

Wu Nanzhi also indicated: "Easy to say, easy to say; younger sister, you don't need to worry."

In just a few words, the way they addressed each other changed.

Wu Nanzhi really didn't need to be too polite; anyway, she was the consort who followed Li Chen the earliest, and her status and status were placed there.

The "just awakened" Nangong Xiang had already started to "sell out her teammates." As one of the cores of the Long Di's harem, she knew many things. She told Li Chen the location of the Long Di, where the Dragon Cavalry was, the location of the treasure vault, etc.

Li Chen also felt that the set of techniques created by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty was truly easy to use.

At least it could make these women tell the truth, saving a lot of trouble.

Li Chen and the others followed Nangong Xiang through the long corridor of the palace and arrived before a huge stone gate.

The stone gate was thick and ancient, with complex dragon patterns carved on the surface, as if telling the former glory of the Long Di.

Embedded in the center of the stone gate were three huge circular discs, each disc carved with circles of complex symbols, which should be some kind of ancient combination lock.

The circular discs could rotate, and it was clear that the symbols of the three circular discs needed to be adjusted to the correct position to open the gate of this treasure vault.

Wu Nanzhi walked forward, carefully observing the symbols on the circular discs, and then said to Nangong Xiang: "Do you know how to rotate this?"

Nangong Xiang answered obediently: "This slave doesn't know; only the Long Di knows how to rotate it."

Hearing this, Wu Nanzhi's brows furrowed: "Your Majesty, this seems to be some kind of ancient mechanism lock; it needs to align the symbols of the three circular discs to open. If there is no password, I'm afraid it will take quite a bit of time to crack."

As someone who often went out exploring, she knew this kind of "combination lock" was very complex.

If one was lucky, one could open the lock in a few tries; if one was unlucky, one might not be able to open it for days, and one had to be very patient, trying one by one.

Li Chen glanced at the circular discs, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, revealing a look of disdain: "I know the password."

This sentence made all the consorts nearby puzzled—isn't it only the Long Di who knows? How could you possibly know?

But they were all sensible and didn't say anything, quietly watching Li Chen operate.

Li Chen stepped forward a few steps, arrived near the gate, raised his hand and waved, and a powerful golden energy surged from his palm, instantly enveloping the three circular discs.

With the infiltration of the golden energy, the symbols on the circular discs began to twist and deform, as if being rearranged by an invisible force.

After a moment, the circular discs made a slight "click" sound, then slowly rotated, and finally stopped at the position Li Chen set.

"Alright, now this is the 'password'," Li Chen said faintly, reaching out and pushing lightly, and the stone gate slowly opened.

Wu Nanzhi and the other two consorts were dumbfounded, not knowing at all how Li Chen did it, but the gate had indeed been opened.

In fact, this was very simple; Li Chen directly refined these three circular discs and "reset" the password. After resetting, what he set was the password.

It was very troublesome to explain here, so however they understood it, they understood it.

Li Chen didn't say much and stepped into the treasure vault.

Wu Nanzhi and the other two consorts followed closely, and the four of them stepped into the treasure vault, only to be shocked by the scene before them.
