His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 186: This Miss Has a Reward

After resting for half a day, the group recharged their energy and went directly to the ancient tomb.

Outside the ancient tomb, there were several teams of people from the City Lord’s Mansion taking turns guarding. They stopped them immediately when they saw the group.

However, after seeing the pass in Feng Chen’s hand, they all stepped back, and half of the ancient tomb’s door was exposed.

“How do we open this gate?” Yue Yun Yang looked at the leader of the City Lord’s Mansion and asked.

The leader shook his head and said: “Ever since the tomb was closed last time, the door has automatically closed. We don’t know how to open it either.”

Upon seeing this, Chi Mo Ran said to the tall and burly man behind him: “Chi Wei, go and open the door.”

Chi Wei nodded, walked to the door of the ancient tomb, placed his hands here and there, then took out something that looked like a compass¹, constantly inspecting.

Not long after, Chi Wei fumbled around a corner of the ancient tomb, only to hear a few [BOOM BOOM!] sounds and the door of the ancient tomb slowly opened from the inside.

When Yu Qing Qian saw the burly man’s skilful movements in searching for the mechanism to open the door, she guessed that he was a Mechanism Master.

In addition to Apothecaries, Plant Inscription Masters, and Forgers, there were also Mechanism Masters.

However, most Mechanism Masters also studied as Forgers, and many weapons would use mechanism layouts.

The group didn’t hesitate. Starting from the Chi Clan’s team, they jumped into the ancient tomb one by one and entered through the gate.

Yu Qing Qian and Feng Chen walked at the back.

“If you tried this gate, can you open it?” Yu Qing Qian gently elbowed Feng Chen’s arm with hers and asked in a whisper.

Feng Chen nodded and said: “Yes.”

“I’ll give you a blueprint some other time, help me build a few weapons.” Yu Qing Qian said without being polite.

Feng Chen’s cold eyes were filled with a smile, “Sure, I’ll help you get it done when we return.”

Yu Qing Qian stretched out her fingertips and scratched Feng Chen’s palm, “After finishing it, this miss has a reward.”

Feng Chen held her mischievous hand, and the soft touch made his heart soften a little too, “I’ll wait for your reward.”

The two walked at the back, and the others didn’t see these small gestures.

After entering the ancient tomb, the candles in the grooves on both sides automatically lit up, and a long and deep alley leading to the front appeared in front of everyone.

Feng Chen let go of Yu Qing Qian’s hand, took out the map of the ancient tomb given by City Lord Lu, and compared it with the road ahead.

Chi Mo Ran also had the same map. He didn’t look at it, handing it directly to Chi Wei.

After a while, Huo Li Ruo noticed Feng Chen furrowing his brows and asked: “Fake celestial, is this map useful?”

Feng Chen retracted his gaze from the map, “It’s not of much use. There are two roads on the map given by City Lord Lu, but they are different from the one we’re taking now.”

“It seems that each entry route is determined by the people who designed this ancient tomb. No wonder the previous Mechanism Master found that the ancient tomb could only be opened three times.” Chi Wei put away the map and said.

“Crown Prince Chen, how about we work together to break through this ancient tomb?” Chi Mo Ran looked at Feng Chen and invited.

Hearing Chi Mo Ran speak, Leng Ling Shuang furrowed her brows subconsciously.

As far as she knew, the ancient tomb in her previous life had been closed after Lu Zhan’s death. It wasn’t until five years later that people from the Xie Clan of the Seven Major Clans predicted the location of the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree, reopened the ancient tomb, and successfully found the Seven-Coloured Divine Wood.

Such a huge opportunity should be clenched in his own hands, why did Chi Mo Ran invite the other team.

She agreed if Feng Chen joined. After all, this person who could become the number one person in the Holy Academy in the future was definitely extraordinary, so being together with them would be helpful, but the others would obviously be a burden.

¹I’m imagining more of a compass like this and not the traditional western compass:
