Chapter 2165: Chapter 2165: The Late Empress’s Coffin

"Let’s not worry about it and continue forward."

As he spoke, he sped up, walking forward without pausing for even a moment.

At the branch passageway, Prince Niu breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly feared that they would be discovered by the Emperor’s men.

With his current strength, he was no match for those guards; if discovered, death would have been the only outcome.

"Prince... Niu?"

Lin Caisang turned around, raising her eyebrows at the man before her.

"Cough cough."

Prince Niu, found by the young woman, coughed awkwardly twice.

"You really don’t understand the dangers. Do you know what you were just about to touch? It’s a man-eating beast!"

Well, not wanting to mention why he was there, he used the previous topic to divert the conversation.

"A man-eating beast? Isn’t that a plant?"

Lin Caisang was startled, then suddenly remembered the creatures she had learned about in the meadow space, species that looked like grass but weren’t.

It seems there was such a species, fiery red but exuding a cold aura.

"Isn’t this the grudge-cold beast? So it was that."

She had never heard of a man-eating beast, but she finally remembered the records about this demon in the books—it was called the grudge-cold beast!

A small grudge-cold beast could digest a whole elephant in less than half an hour.

And just now, what she almost touched was a large patch of it.

"Yes, this thing is also called a grudge-cold beast. It has no consciousness, but kills without shedding blood, and doesn’t even require a burial place!" said Prince Niu.

If one is tangled by a grudge-cold beast, where would any corpse remain? Everything would be eroded away, which is why people also gave it the alias man-eating beast because anything caught by it ceases to exist.

"It seems that these things are very important to the Emperor!" said Lin Caisang.

Prince Niu: "..."

Ordinary girls, upon hearing or seeing such terrifying things, would tremble and then turn around and run back.

But this girl, she actually touched her chin, pondering over the importance of what lies here?

"There are no important things here, only the former Empress’s sarcophagus," he said irritably.

"Ah?"

Lin Caisang was taken aback for a moment.

Blinking, she looked at Prince Niu with some disbelief.

The former Empress’s sarcophagus – doesn’t that mean this trip was in vain? She followed the Emperor to the imperial tomb not to really desecrate it.

"Let’s go out first; I’ll explain it to you," said Prince Niu.

He glanced once more at the passage, making sure no one was around, and then led the way out.

...

In a deserted forest, Prince Niu fixed his gaze on Lin Caisang.

"Miss Lin, what are you trying to do? Didn’t you already blow up the imperial tombs? Those things, I can assure you, have been destroyed."

He told her.

Now that he had been assigned to the Eastern Underground Palace, even if there were still things underground, he naturally wouldn’t let them resurface alive. This was called eliminating harm for the people, and it was necessary.

"It seems, Prince Niu is indeed no ordinary person," replied Lin Caisang, also looking at Prince Niu with a profound expression.

"Uh."

Prince Niu was momentarily speechless at her words, and curled his lips slightly.

"Given the circumstances, I had no other choice," he said.
