Chapter 2176: Chapter 2176: Devouring People Without Spitting Out Bones

"Hmm, not bad."

Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang nodded in satisfaction.

...

Not long after, two people emerged from the stone doors of the Northern Underground Palace; they were Lin Caisang and the gardener who had led the way for her.

And that gardener, following behind Lin Caisang with a look of sheer terror in his eyes, kept his gaze fixed on her back the entire way.

Because what he had seen...

This girl, who, albeit more formidable than him, seemed rather unremarkable compared to the Tomb Guards he had encountered before.

She had managed to collect all of the sacred flowers from the vast sacred flower field within the Northern Underground Palace.

Even though he did not know what abilities this girl possessed, he was certain that she must have some powerful treasures on her, which had enabled her to take all those sacred flowers away.

"Miss..."

"What, now that we’re out, you’re not leaving?" Lin Caisang turned her head to look at him and asked.

"Uh."

He was rendered speechless, the question he was about to ask didn’t dare pass his lips.

After some thought, he decided that this imperial tomb was far too dangerous—a place he should leave immediately. Other matters no longer seemed important to him.

Lin Caisang reached into her small shoulder bag and pulled out a not-so-large cloth pouch, tossing it into the man’s chest.

He barely caught it and, feeling the texture inside the pouch, his heart nearly stopped from excitement.

Indeed, when he hurriedly opened the pouch, he saw it was filled with various, brightly colored, beautiful non-pure crystal stones.

"Thank you, thank you, Miss."

Looking up, he watched Lin Caisang with gratitude, thanking her profusely.

Originally unsure of what to do, the bag of non-pure crystal stones now gave him a means to make a living. He decided to learn from this experience and never get caught in such a perilous place again.

"Let’s go."

Lin Caisang turned away, no longer paying attention to him.

Now, she needed to think about her next move. She couldn’t just take the sacred flowers and give up on such a vast forest, could she?

That wasn’t her style.

"Maybe I should check out the thatched cottage?"

She remembered that beneath the cottage there was still much to explore, such as the grudge-cold beast.

Although it devoured people without leaving bones, it was an unsurpassed raw material for crafting poisonous powders and pills.

And then there was...

She had just disabled all the traps underneath the Northern Underground Palace and had obtained a Spirit Stabilizing Crystal Stone.

This was an excellent material for crafting tools, a truly rare find.

When she had removed that Spirit Stabilizing Crystal Stone beneath the Northern Underground Palace, she had felt much regret. If only she had accompanied her husband to the Eastern Underground Palace, wouldn’t she have been able to get another Spirit Stabilizing Crystal Stone?

Thinking about it, with so many traps in the Eastern Underground Palace, there must have been a Spirit Stabilizing Crystal Stone there as well.

But the Eastern Underground Palace had been forcefully ransacked by her eldest brother, not leaving behind a single treasure for her, not to mention a Spirit Stabilizing Crystal Stone.

So now, she should go and check underneath the thatched cottage.

"I wonder if the emperor has come up from the thatched cottage, this Northern Underground Palace needs him to inspect it as well, right?" she muttered to herself as she walked in the direction of the thatched cottage, following her memories.

However, what she didn’t expect was that while walking through the grass, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled her over.

"Who’s there?"
