After pressing down on the stone, they waited for a while, but there was no movement.

“Looks like this isn’t the right place.” Ye Leng’an stepped forward and spoke.

“Be careful.”

As soon as she finished speaking, many arrows shot out from all directions. The arrowhead shone coldly, and even with a black sheen.

Huangfu Ruiling reacted quickly and pulled her aside. With a wave of his hand, the arrows rained down on the ground as if they met with obstruction.

Everything happened in an instant and also seemed to end in an instant.

Ye Leng’an was still in a daze, but it wasn’t because of the sudden danger. That kind of danger was child’s play for her. Even if Huangfu Ruiling did not pull her, she could still escape. She was stunned because when she reacted, she found herself in Huangfu Ruiling’s arms.

It was the first time she was held in a man’s arms like this. In her first life, she had only thought about Li Deze, and Li Deze only had Ye Xiyuan in his eyes and heart. In her second life, she was in the cultivation world. It was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. She spent almost all her time on cultivation, so she naturally did not take these matters between men and women to heart. Moreover, she had not met a man who could set her heart aflutter.

Now that Huangfu Ruiling suddenly held her in his arms, she felt that her mind was a little muddled and she could not react. The distance between them was very close. She could even smell the faint cold fragrance coming from his body. She didn’t know what kind of taste it was, but she was mesmerized for a moment.

However, she immediately came back to her senses and pushed him away in a flurry, as if she wanted to hide something.

He felt a sense of loss when she suddenly left him. However, that feeling immediately disappeared. He sorted out his emotions and looked at her. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” She shook her head as if she was trying to get rid of the thoughts that shouldn’t exist in her mind at this moment. She composed herself and walked towards the stone wall, saying, “I didn’t expect that there was such a

booby trap here. No wonder Duo Ji directly triggered it and let me fall down! He must think I wouldn’t survive after falling down.”

While she was speaking, she was back to her former self again, as if the ambiguous atmosphere just now had never appeared.

He also came forward and began to look for the mechanism to open the door. “Probably not. I think that although the people in this village knew about such a tunnel, no one ever came down to investigate. In other words, even if someone really comes down, they probably can’t go up, so they don’t know what is going on in the tunnel.”

“Why is that?” She was a little curious as to what he was thinking.

“If the people in this village really came down and went up safely, then the murals here wouldn’t be like this.”

She immediately understood what he meant. The murals described the history of the village and the source of the curse too clearly. If the people in the village knew about it, they would definitely change them.

Just like how history was written by the victors, everyone would glorify what they had done. Even if it was their own fault, they would say that they were on the righteous side.

Soon, Ye Leng’an found the mechanism. However, she was much more cautious this time. She only activated the mechanism after she was prepared.

Unlike before, after activating the mechanism, there was a loud bang and the door on the wall opened immediately.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an looked at each other and walked in together.

Just as they stepped into the stone door, there was another rumble behind them. The door was closed again.

As the door closed, the originally dark cave immediately lit up. The candles lit up as if they were controlled by someone, illuminating the cave as if it was daytime.

Since it was so bright inside, Leng’an also withdrew the flame of her life..
