A golden treasure chest suddenly appeared on the ground, gradually opening to reveal various reward items inside. Among them was a piece of Golden Silk Armor, which was a top-quality item even without refinement. If taken to auction, it could fetch a sky-high price!
So many things!!!
Everyone’s eyes lit up as they watched.
This time, Wang Burin should finally give everyone a share, right?
Everyone looked expectantly at Wang Burin.
In the end, Wang Burin didn’t even blink or say a word and allocated everything to Tianmiao.
Leng Yanhua: "..."
Ai Li: "..."
Wang Burin’s sidekicks: "...QAQ"
Leng Yanhua couldn’t help but privately complain to Ai Li again: "This ultimate bootlicker! I hate bootlickers!!!"
Ai Li: "Bootlickers, truly a mysterious species."
Tianmiao looked at her package. These things were essentially meaningless to her.
"Goddess! Well, thanks to you, I was lucky enough to see the hidden story and gain a rare attribute bonus. It’s truly a blessing. Thank you, Goddess, for this opportunity. I won’t disturb you anymore. Next time you need anything, just have Brother Leng give a shout! I’d be honored to have a meal with you!" Wang Burin said happily and swiftly left with his sidekicks, very dashing.
Leng Yanhua and Ai Li were both stunned. Did this bootlicker just up and leave like that? So decisively and without regret?
...
After leaving the instance, Wang Burin’s sidekicks couldn’t help but ask him: "Boss, why didn’t you linger in the instance and invite the Goddess for a meal? Why wait until next time? Who can be sure about next time?" They all meant why not seize the opportunity.
Wang Burin spat and said: "You know nothing! Obviously, all of you are single, and your emotional intelligence is in the negatives. Just cleared the instance for the Goddess and distributed the gear, and you want to invite her for a meal? How is that different from demanding a quid pro quo? How could I do that? For my Goddess, I’m willing to do anything, without regrets!"
Wang Burin’s sidekicks looked at him, seeing the expression of heroic sacrifice, and all fell silent.
Why hadn’t they noticed before that their boss was this kind of person?
He is a talent!
We are humbled!
Awesome!!!
After Wang Burin left, Tianmiao carefully examined the pile of stuff Wang Burin had given her and found a broken sword among them. It was just like the Spirit Talisman she had obtained earlier, with only a few small words: Died for faith.
The Emperor of the Ancient Country did not yield to the Daoist, who developed the method to open the array on his own, resulting in disaster.
This Daoist was the Shang Yunzi mentioned in Leng Yanhua’s previous story, looking every bit the villain.
With this instance fully cleared, the position of one of the three World Keystone Arrays was now crystal clear.
Tianmiao and the other two didn’t linger in the instance much longer. When they exited, the instance vortex behind them surprisingly disappeared.
The palace in this Lost Land was now completely collapsed, even more desolate than when they arrived.
The entire Keystone Array was fully exposed from underground. Tianmiao climbed up to the high position where the Emperor stood in the story and looked down. Sure enough, the entire stone array at the lowest end, drawn with mysterious runes like those on the World Keystone, was completely collapsed, causing a quarter of the circular stone array to be missing. The missing, sunken part was extremely eerie, as if a gaping blood-red mouth was ready to swallow the entire Imperial Palace in one bite.
The feng shui arrangement of this Keystone Array immediately caught Tianmiao’s attention. This place gathered wind and water, not like a political center such as the Imperial City would be built upon, but rather like the feng shui of a tomb.
If viewed from the feng shui positions, the focal point was just a short distance away in a secluded hall.
"I think we can go take a look at that secluded hall," Tianmiao said, and Leng Yanhua and Ai Li both agreed to go and check it out together.
When they got closer, unlike other areas overgrown with weeds, this secluded hall seemed regularly cleaned and worshipped. The fruit offerings on the altar were quite fresh, and grasses hadn’t grown into the courtyard.
Inside the hall, there was only a solitary tablet, black-lacquered, with no words on it.
Ai Li walked around and found a black feather. "Sister Tian, come look, there’s a feather here, and it’s so big!"
When Tianmiao walked over and took the feather, it transformed into a wisp of Demonic Qi black smoke and dissipated into the air.
No one expected the Demonic Qi to manifest here.
