Chapter 2260: You Should Not Solely Focus On Their Improper Behavior

Even when the governor was around, they remained quiet; perfect silence prevailed.

“They must be mute. If I am not mistaken, they must also be illiterate,” Gu Xijiu commented with a sense of sympathy.

The Firmament Stone was taken by surprise. The place was extremely secretive, so perhaps it would be better if the guardians could remain mute. Without any verbal ability or literacy, they would not be able to spill any secret by mistake. Furthermore, he was able to enjoy the luxury of having these beautiful women at his service. His delightful expression said it all.

From time to time, he would pinch one of their faces or touch their breasts. Sometimes, he would spank their buttocks.

“Such a pervert!” The Firmament Stone was disgusted.

“Exactly.” Gu Xijiu chimed in. Nevertheless, her eyes had never left the governor and continued to spy his every movement.

The Firmament Stone was surprised as it exclaimed, “Master, you should not solely focus on their improper behavior!”

“What do you know about? It could be one of his ways to comfort the women or a secret signal for them to open and close the machine-operated door for him. I have to memorize the sequence,” Gu Xijiu explained.

The Firmament Stone remained silent.

A few moments later, the governor was finally satisfied and left with a sense of pleasure. Not long after he was gone, Gu Xijiu used the Facial Disguise Technique and took the form of the governor in green robes. She then stepped into the hall as another man.

The women looked surprised by the man’s sudden return but approached him as usual. The Firmament Stone had to bear with seeing its master’s improper exchange with the women. Gu Xijiu flirted with every single woman and took advantage of them one by one, for as much as she could.

The Firmament Stone could not stand the sight! To its surprise, the indecent was actually a secret sign for the women to identify the man. Soon, the women were relieved after confirming their master’s identity.

One of the women took her into the room and stood her before the bed. She then went into the bed and looked for the opening to the secret door. Abruptly, the wooden panel below her suddenly turned and slipped her into a long, hidden tunnel.

The secret tunnel was covered entirely in dark green, covering her face with the greenish luminescence. Above her, the upper part of the tunnel was embellished with many luminous pearls, scattered all over like stars in the sky. The pearls combined together into a big picture that resembled an array formation.

Other than the pearls, there was nothing mysterious about the tunnel. The only oddity was the eye-catching color of green everywhere. From a distance, there seemed to be some noise coming from the deepest part of the tunnel.

“Master, why don’t we move on? Why are you looking at the pearls?” The Firmament Stone was puzzled.

“These pearls serve as the secret passage in the tunnel. If it remains unsolved, the only thing that awaits at the end of the tunnel is our death,” Gu Xijiu explained. She continued to observe the pearls above.

Occasionally, she would make some calculations at her fingertips. After a while, she raised her hand and pointed at some of the pearls in an orderly manner.

“Whisk!” There was a sudden gust of wind in the all-concealed tunnel. A plume of pale pink smoke soared up from the depths of the tunnel and filled the entire space in pink.

As soon as the smoke appeared, many tiny, green bugs emerged from the walls. Soon, they blended into the smoke in pink. When the smoke began to pass off, all the green bugs laid lifelessly on the ground.

The bugs sank into the ground and disappeared entirely. Soon, the soft, green surface of the ground was replaced by a row of stone slates, all the way into the dark. Gu Xijiu took steady steps on the stones and continued her journey into the unknown.

The Firmament Stone was obviously impressed by her intelligence. It could tell that the bugs were the glow worm. As soon as one approached its territory within a meter, the bug would be alarmed and come alive. Once it touches the skin of the intruder, he or she would be burned alive. The only remains would be the ashes of the person.
