Absolute trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of nonsense treasure is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest rose and fell as he forced himself to calm down because of the impending threat to his life. His eyes shifted back toward the sarcophagus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still one more item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That one has to be the real thing,\" he muttered, still clinging to the last bit of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked it up quickly and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows slowly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll was filled with ancient text, symbols he couldn’t recognise at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single word made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen stared at it for several seconds before his expression stiffened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, still clearly different from before, only made his expression even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is this written in some ancient language?

It didn’t give him strength, speed, or any ability that could help him survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only changed his... F*cking gender?!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...

Nothing useful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber fell quiet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, faint tremors could still be felt. Zhu Shan was getting closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chen didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression gradually dulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly sat down on the ground, staring blankly ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his hands, then down at his sexy body again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What’s the point of living...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came out low and hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...if I’m not even a man anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on the floor below—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the massive python in front of him. His expression carried a trace of curiosity rather than fear, as if he were examining something mildly interesting instead of facing a dangerous creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never knew snakes could grow this big...\" he said calmly. Then he shook his head slightly. \"Anyway, this is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The python hissed and lunged forward, its enormous body moving with surprising speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan didn’t step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arm and struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist came down directly on the python’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That impact was heavy and direct. The python’s head slammed into the ground, the force cracking the stone beneath it. The surface caved slightly, and a web of fractures spread outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The python’s skull was crushed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body still twisted and coiled, the tail thrashing violently for a few seconds before gradually losing strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan glanced at it briefly and said, \"It’s dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining movement was nothing more than a muscle reflex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the gunmen watched in silence for a moment before one of them spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of Mr Zhu... he’s so amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded slightly, their expressions carrying clear respect for this elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they couldn’t act, but Zhu Shan had stopped them earlier. He had shown interest in handling the python himself, and none of them dared to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan didn’t respond to the flattery, outwardly. His face remained calm, almost indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inwardly, he felt quite satisfied. After all, only in the secular world could he have the chance to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand casually. \"Collect the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mr Zhu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunman nodded without hesitation. Along the way, Zhu Shan had already made them gather the strange fish and the scorpions earlier, so this order didn’t surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan stepped closer to the python’s body and looked at it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint anticipation appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Haha. This is good... very good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts shifted quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I remember correctly. Elder Song likes snake soup...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image of her came to his mind naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That calm and dignified face, which always seemed distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan’s expression softened just slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I bring back such a rare python and invite her to dinner... she shouldn’t refuse, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought made him feel unexpectedly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the mysterious tomb and the pursuit itself seemed less important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good thing I came personally,’he thought. ’If I had sent a disciple instead, I would have missed this rare ingredient.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood improved noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a few gunmen finished checking the surroundings and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr Zhu,\" one of them reported, \"there’s no visible exit in this room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Shan returned to his usual calm demeanour and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the stone pillar nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earlier, the snake tried to climb that,\" he said. \"The path should be above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted to the python again, briefly observing the injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wounds on its head and the blood in its mouth show that those two encountered it earlier,\" he added. \"They couldn’t kill it, so they escaped upward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logic was simple and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go,\" Zhu Shan said. \"This tomb should be nearing its end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting, he stepped forward and climbed onto the stone structure, covering height in just a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunmen followed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slung their weapons behind their backs and began climbing after him, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-02T12:20:51.811Z",1,"novelbin.me","69aa53cb2bb5175599fcac811a982830fc6f6b7d85c2208c496afca631e8a26c","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-136","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-186",240,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-cover.jpg"]
