"Sure, sure! We'll listen to you, Missy!"
The domed hall looked grand and majestic, giving one the feeling that there would definitely be a lot of treasures here. In the middle of the hall, there was a thick pillar supporting it, giving off an unshakable feeling. Even though this place had been abandoned for a long time, one could still feel the glory of the past. To think that there would come a day when the once prosperous and powerful Big Ancient Demons would fall.
The two female bodyguards followed Huangfu Xueli eagerly, feeling that they were going to strike it rich. The moment the treasure was taken out, they would strike immediately. Huangfu Xueli seemed to be caught off guard as she brought them to the door of a room. This room looked ordinary, but the stone door was extremely thick. Without a special method, one wouldn't be able to open it with brute force.
Huangfu Xueli first raised her left arm, revealing the bracelet on her wrist. The golden bracelet was inlaid with red, blue, and green gems. She twisted the bracelet one round before tapping on the red gem on it. A beam of red light shone on the stone door, and then the stone door creaked open. From the sound of it moving, one could tell that this stone door wasn't just any ordinary heavy.
The two female bodyguards were even more anxious than Huangfu Xueli as they rushed into the room. However, after entering, they were dumbfounded. It was empty inside, not even a table or a chair. Not to mention things like shelves for storing goods or treasure chests for storing treasures.
"Missy, there's nothing here!"
The two female bodyguards were still thinking that they were going to strike it rich. They thought to themselves that they had to control their excitement after entering the room. No matter how many treasures there were in the room, they had to wait for Missy to take out the most important one first. But to their surprise, the room wasn't filled with treasures. There wasn't even an embroidery needle to be seen.
Huangfu Xueli didn't reply to them. Instead, she raised her left arm, revealing the bracelet once more. She tapped on the blue gem on the table. Then, a blue light was projected onto the wall. A green stone at the corner of the wall started moving by itself.
After the stone was moved, a shiny golden treasure chest was revealed. It was filled with blue gems. Even though he didn't know what kind of gem it was, he could tell that it was something good. Just the box alone was already so powerful, so the item inside must be extraordinary. Could it be the item that City Lord Huangfu had ordered them to retrieve?
"Let's go. We've already gotten the item."
Sure enough, Huangfu Xueli walked up to the treasure chest and put it into her storage bracelet. Not only could her bracelet store things, but it could also open a secret room. As expected of City Lord Huangfu's daughter, even the things she carried were different from others.
"Wait …"
The younger female bodyguard suddenly yelled, giving Huangfu Xueli a fright. Even the other female bodyguard was startled by her. He thought to himself, "Are you crazy? If you make a move here, you will be trapped in the secret room." Because after they entered, the stone door automatically fell down.
In other words, if Huangfu Xueli didn't open the door for them, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they managed to snatch the treasures. Although Huangfu Xueli could use the mechanism on the bracelet to open the stone door, it didn't mean that the two of them could do the same. This kind of strange mechanism, must have a special use. Those who weren't from the Huangfu Family wouldn't be able to grasp the method.
"Eldest Miss, are you sure it's this thing? Did you take the wrong thing? Do you want to look for it again?"
They thought that the young female bodyguard was going to rob them now, but it turned out that she was worried that Huangfu Xueli would take the wrong thing. If it wasn't the thing that their boss wanted, it would be a waste of time to rob it.
"There's only one thing in this room, I can't be wrong."
Huangfu Xueli looked at the female bodyguard calmly and answered her question.
"That's good, that's good. Congratulations on achieving your wish, Eldest Miss. Now we can go back and explain to the City Lord."
After hearing that, the two female bodyguards smiled knowingly and expressed their satisfaction. They were willing to accompany Huangfu Xueli. However, something strange happened again. Huangfu Xueli still wasn't willing to open the stone door.
"Eldest Miss, let's go out now. There are still many places we haven't visited."
If Huangfu Xueli didn't open the stone door, the two of them wouldn't be able to leave. More importantly, the people outside wouldn't be able to enter. Although the two of them had backup experts, they still couldn't do anything to this stone door. If the three of them were trapped here, even if they got the treasure, it would be a waste.
"No hurry, I'll rest first."
Huangfu Xueli wasn't in a hurry. She even placed a praying mat on the ground and sat down cross-legged to rest. In order to open the secret room's stone door just now, she seemed to have consumed a lot of power of god. She needed to replenish it before leaving. It seemed that this Eldest Miss Huangfu was still very careful when doing things.
"Oh, no hurry then."
The two female bodyguards also sat down obediently. In order to deal with the scorching heat and bitter cold, they actually consumed a lot of energy. Their condition was even worse than Huangfu Xueli's. If they were to fight later, it would be easy for them to be at a disadvantage. They might as well take this opportunity to recover their bodies.
Just like that, the three of them meditated and rested in the secret room, but the people outside were very anxious. At this moment, there were already a lot of people in the hall. They were all wearing the same uniform. One look and it was obvious that they were a group. These people found this place with great difficulty according to the coordinates provided by the two female bodyguards. However, after arriving, they couldn't find Huangfu Xueli.
They also saw many rooms, but they were all sealed by stone doors and couldn't be opened. It was also unknown why the two female bodyguards didn't continue to send out signals.
Actually, they didn't know that it was because there were restrictions in the secret room that blocked all signals. Hence, the two female bodyguards were unable to send out messages. They could only wait until the stone door was opened.
"What should we do, Big Brother? Do we continue to wait?"
"Yeah, we might as well smash open all the doors and search ourselves."
Some people in the group already couldn't wait anymore and wanted to smash open the stone door and search themselves. Looking at the current situation, the place that could hide the treasure was definitely in this hall. As long as they turned the hall upside down, they would definitely be able to find the treasure they wanted.
"Don't be anxious. Don't alert the enemy."
