Chapter 915: Pride Fades in Less Than Two Minutes

~7 min read 1,391 words

In the ancient tomb chamber, a heavy stone coffin lay.

Shi Yuniang stepped forward to inspect, smiling, and said, "Look, the wax seal I used to seal the stone coffin is still intact!"

"Sister, did you set any traps?"

Han Xiang asked.

Shi Yuniang rolled her eyes, shook her head, and said, "No! How could I set traps for myself? You all agree, right?"

Lin Feng gave Shi Yuniang a deep look.

Shi Yuniang smiled and said, "Now open the coffin! Let you all behold the stunning visage of the Imperial Concubine!"

After speaking, she made a beckoning gesture toward Lin Feng.

Only Lin Feng was a man present.

Such dirty, laborious work naturally fell to Lin Feng, the man.

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this woman somehow hadn't grasped Qi Yao's gaze.

He guessed it wouldn't be long before Qi Yao would have her way again.

Shi Yuniang was clearly a forgetful and flighty woman.

She remembered being terrified of Qi Yao before being released.

Now she was even more arrogant than her younger sister in front of Qi Yao.

Lin Feng, of course, wouldn't point it out to her, hehe!

After more than a thousand years, even sealed in the tomb chamber, the stone coffin was covered in dust and surface-worn stone fragments.

Lin Feng didn't want to dirty the beauty's hands, so even without Shi Yuniang's reminder, he intended to act himself.

Lin Feng made a gesture for everyone to step back.

Then he stepped forward, placed both hands on the coffin lid, and heaved it up forcefully.

The lid, weighing over a ton, flew up, and with a bang it slammed into the tomb wall, shattering.

Shi Yuniang rolled her eyes, "This kind of stone is precious; to waste it like this is truly a pity."

Lin Feng said with a helpless expression, "Then why didn't you warn me?"

"I didn't know you were that strong?"

Shi Yuniang argued slyly.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly in his mind and fell silent.

A man and a woman sparring will always lose, because they're not on the same wavelength.

He had his own method to make Shi Yuniang shut up obediently.

But with so many people present, it wasn't very convenient.

Qian Miaomiao was the first to run over, leaned on the coffin rim and peered inside.

Then, eyes widened, she murmured, "So beautiful! No wonder she's one of the legendary Four Great Beauties."

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xiang, Yang Caiwei, and even Qi Yao stepped forward curiously.

Shi Yuniang stayed still, and the nearby Chen Yu, Luoyan, Xiuhua, and Ling Lin also remained motionless.

Lin Feng glanced at Shi Yuniang again, feeling that the woman was up to some trick again.

But he didn't yet know what trick it was.

If he asked now, the woman would certainly refuse to admit it.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Feng stepped forward and looked into the stone coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a voluptuous woman, about 1.7 meters tall.

Her face was extremely perfect, with slightly protruding lips, giving her looks a minor flaw.

Of course, that was because she had a Fixed-Visage Pearl in her mouth.

The clothing style of Tang people, especially in the palace, was indeed open and bold.

She wore a silk dress as thin as cicada wings, of course not the transparent kind.

The finely crafted patterned design provided light shielding while making the garment feel weightless.

All together, that outfit probably weighed only a few dozen grams.

Her fingernails, carefully filed, resembled modern nail art, and her headpiece was relatively simple.

A head of jet‑black long hair cascaded like a waterfall, resting behind her head.

Her expression was serene, skin as white as jade, with a hint of rosiness.

No matter how you looked at her, she seemed like a sleeping beauty.

"Senior brother, do you think she's prettier, or is Sister Yao Yao prettier?"

Yang Caiwei asked.

What a Lao Liu!

Lin Feng glared at Yang Caiwei in his mind but kept a calm face and said, "Of course Yao Yao is prettier!"

Shi Yuniang beside him pursed her mouth.

The scumbag lied without blinking an eye.

The truth should be that each has their own merits.

Back then, even though he was a father‑in‑law, he still liked the Imperial Concubine in his heart.

Otherwise he wouldn't have buried the Imperial Concubine here, and used the priceless Fixed-Visage Pearl.

This is the legendary treasure that can keep a corpse from rotting; countless emperors have sought it but never found it!

With a foolish emperor, this pearl could at least be exchanged for a marquisate.

As for money, its value is incalculable.

Even when they were so poor they had to pawn antiques and could only eat one meat meal a day, she still wouldn't part with this treasure to get money.

In the end she was willing to give it to the deceased Noble Consort.

Now that I think about it, maybe she really liked the Noble Consort back then!

Like a man trapped in his first love, willing to give everything he has to his first love.

"Is the thing in her mouth the Dingyan Pearl?"

Qian Miaomiao said, stretching out her hand.

"Stop!"

Shi Yuniang hurriedly said.

Then she stepped forward, first examined the 'Sleeping Beauty', and then said: "The Dingyan Pearl cannot leave her, otherwise her body will quickly wither, the moisture in her body will spill out like a squeezed sponge, turning her into a dry corpse, and then into a withered bone."

Since Shi Yuniang said that, she must have witnessed such a situation.

As for the origin of the Dingyan Pearl, perhaps this woman also obtained it from another tomb.

"Then what should we do!"

Qian Miaomiao frowned and said: "I want to paint a picture of her!"

Shi Yuniang shook her head and said: "I don't know either."

Ling Lin came over at this moment, inhaled a few breaths deeply, and said: "So fragrant!"

That reminded Lin Feng and Han Xiang.

Just now they only paid attention to the Noble Consort's appearance and clothing, but missed the scent that emanated from the stone coffin after it opened.

Probably, in everyone's subconscious, the Noble Consort should always be this fragrant.

Lin Feng pinched his chin and laughed: "Legend says Yang Guifei was born with a fox odor, so she had to take fragrant baths daily. Is that true?"

Shi Yuniang frowned and said: "You believe such rumors? If that's the case, she could never have entered the palace.

Do you think the palace only admits those who are beautiful?"

"Exactly! That's the point," Lin Feng nodded.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

In the tomb chamber, a heavy breathing sound suddenly rang out.

Turning his head, the nearest were Han Xiang and Qi Yao, as well as Qian Miaomiao and Yang Caiwei, their faces flushed.

Looking again at Shi Yuniang and the four women under her command, their expressions were unchanged.

Immediately, Lin Feng felt his mind becoming a bit hazy.

His heartbeat quickened, and the flow of blood throughout his body accelerated.

Also, an urge to practice Gun Technique arose.

Suddenly Lin Feng understood.

This was the trap Shi Yuniang set inside the coffin.

If those present were not Enhancers with extremely keen smell, they wouldn't detect the fragrance at all.

Of course, they also wouldn't react only after several minutes.

For ordinary people, once the coffin opened, they would already lose control.

Shi Yuniang's mouth twitched upward, feeling proud.

What followed would surely be a good show.

She prepared to record it with her mobile phone, so she could enjoy it slowly later.

Qi Yao, the boss, finally had leverage in her hands, haha!

Just as she was thinking that, Qi Yao's expression changed, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

At some point, a syringe appeared in her hand.

It turned out she had just injected herself.

Then she injected Lin Feng as well.

Lin Feng, of course, had to be revived first; otherwise the others waking up would have the same result.

At Lin Feng's request, they half‑pushed, half‑relented, and, delighted secretly, agreed.

Each of them is a fox girl, hum!

Shi Yuniang was proud, and it hadn't even been two minutes!
