Chapter 1863: Surprise

Chapter 1863: Chapter 682: Surprise

Su Mo initially did not want to scold her.

After all, thinking it over carefully, since this afternoon in the tavern after that hearty meal,

Xiao Xiao hadn’t really eaten anything for an entire afternoon plus an evening.

It’s normal to be hungry by now.

Let her take a few bites then.

As a result, Xiao Xiao, after finishing one pig’s trotter, took out another.

After eating it in a few bites, she pulled out yet another one…

Where did so many come from?

And Wei Huniu isn’t stopping her?

Unable to hold back, Su Mo gently tugged her hand, and Wei Ziyi immediately let out a soft moan.

Su Mo, not being inexperienced, instantly realized Wei Ziyi’s situation was somewhat awkward upon hearing that sound.

Although their business was almost out in the open at this point,

they still hadn’t reached the point of baring it all, despite practicing the Golden Wind Jade Dew Calming Heart Technique.

Now, in this coffin,

so closely pressed together, Wei Ziyi’s thoughts were clearly elsewhere, and at this moment, she probably didn’t even know what she was thinking of.

With this reminder, Su Mo also came to his senses, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable all over, unable to help scooting back, only to find the coffin board behind him…

If he used too much force and broke this coffin, then this trip to the cloud depth would probably be scrapped.

Helplessly, all he could do was scoot forward a bit.

Then he heard Wei Ziyi’s breathing grow more rapid.

Turning back, Wei Ziyi glared fiercely at Su Mo:

“Stop it.”

Xiao Xiao was startled, thinking her secret pig’s trotter munching was exposed.

Frightened, she became motionless.

Su Mo found it both funny and exasperating.

What had he done to cause trouble?

But this mistake turned out to be beneficial; at least Xiao Xiao stopped eating.

At least, he could relax a little bit.

After all, it’s uncertain how long this coffin journey would last.

One must let Xiao Xiao save some food for the journey.

Lightly blowing a breath near Wei Ziyi’s ear, feeling the beauty in his arms tense up, Su Mo immediately found it amusing, and whispered:

“Who caused trouble?”

“…”

Wei Ziyi bit her lower lip, grabbed Su Mo’s hand, and lightly bit it:

“Sister Xiao Yun let me come out with you, just to keep an eye on you.

“I must not… breach duty, and besides, Xiao Xiao is still here.”

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this:

“I’m here, I’m here.

“Does the Master also want to eat pig’s trotters?”

Su Mo thought to himself what kind of mess is this?

He was about to speak up when he suddenly heard the sound of the surrounding coffins.

Immediately following that, the coffin was lifted together.

Swaying, they left the chamber.

Listening to the direction, Su Mo estimated they reached the main hall of this Yizhuang.

The human puppets put the coffin down.

As footsteps sounded, Ren Piaoling respectfully said:

“Fifth Lord, this way please.”

That little old man, as Longmen Fifth Jing, was still full of energy when he appeared earlier today, but now sounded like he was sleepwalking:

“All… all checked?

“Those two… those two… are they both… both brought along?”

“Checked, rest assured, Fifth Lord.”

Ren Piaoling softly said:

“Take a nap, and by the time you wake up, you’ll be deep in the clouds.”

“Mm… mm, good… I, I just looked… that child… looks familiar…

“I keep… keep feeling…”

At this, slight snoring noises came, but suddenly there was a shiver:

“Today’s Calming Tea, isn’t it… a bit stronger?

“This head, muddled severely, I… I’m going to sleep first…”

After saying that, there was the sound of a crash, as someone fell.

Upon seeing this, Ren Piaoling finally breathed a sigh of relief:

“Put him properly in the coffin.”

“Yes.”

The guard’s voice responded.

After some rustling, there was the sound of a coffin board being closed.

The next moment, the guard said:

“Why not check again?”

“No need.”

Ren Piaoling said:

“Already checked previously, it should be fine.

“As for the three people you mentioned earlier, they still haven’t returned by now, it seems they will spend the night in that town.

“When they return, poison the tea and kill the three of them directly.

“Leave no trace at all.”

“Yes.”

The guard nodded and agreed.

And who knows what method Ren Piaoling used, but those human puppets lifted the coffin again.

Turning to leave.

From the sounds, it seemed they returned to the chamber.

It’s unclear why they needed to make a trip to the main hall if they were going back to the chamber.

The sound of mechanism activation came from nearby, clearly opening a tunnel.

The next moment, the human puppets filed in.

Moving forward along the tunnel.

Su Mo lay inside the coffin, listening. Since entering this tunnel, Ren Piaoling’s footsteps were no longer heard.

His mind racing, he wanted to open the coffin to see if Ren Piaoling hadn’t followed,

but worried about startling the enemy.

He decided to stay put and hold Wei Ziyi, letting the human puppets carry them.

This journey really wasn’t short.

After leaving the tunnel, they traveled all night.

The human puppets didn’t know fatigue; they acted according to a specific rhythm.

This rhythm wasn’t something the ears could hear.

It required closing off all five senses, completely severing connection with the world to possibly capture it.

The Jinglong Association’s method of making human puppets relied mainly on this.

As long as this sound was present, the human puppets would proceed along the predetermined trajectory.
