Chapter 2287 - 652: Acquisition, Ambush, Ampe_4

After a full day of journeying, when An Yiqing led everyone into the deepest part of the mountain cave, they all stopped in their tracks and looked towards the stone steps ahead.

On the steps sat a black iron box. An Yiqing used her Clairvoyant Eye to look inside, and the box contained the Deed of Land Transfer that Cha Chai mentioned. Beside the box on the ground lay two skeletal remains. An Yiqing walked over and touched the clothing on the bones, still quite new.

"In summer, it takes half a month to a month for an exposed corpse to turn into bones. The clothes on these skeletons are still new, not eroded by the air. They must have died a little over a month ago; if my guess is correct, they were Cha Chai’s subordinates."

These two people delivered the box to its destination and were starving and faint. One developed a malicious intent to kill the other, eat their flesh to fill their stomach, and escape. Amid their fight, they killed each other, both dying in the process.

The entrance to the stone cave is narrow, just enough for an adult man to bend down to enter. Presumably, those large beasts cannot come in, so the two corpses remained intact.

Putting down the two skeletons, An Yiqing picked up the iron box and slowly opened it. Inside was a rolled-up document lying quietly. An Yiqing took out the document and unfolded it; it was indeed the Deed of Land Transfer.

"Pen."

Zhifeng immediately handed a black pen to An Yiqing, who took it, glanced at the cave entrance, raised an eyebrow in a smile, and signed her name with a flourish.

With the last stroke settled, disorganized footsteps sounded, and a group appeared outside the cave entrance.

An Yiqing handed the pen back to Zhifeng, then calmly put away the document, looked up at the entrance, and smiled lightly, "Mr. Anpei, we meet again!"

Anpei Lan looked a bit disheveled at this time, having traveled hurriedly for three days with a white suit already damaged. Plus, after fighting with beasts, there were several scratches on his face. Now, seeing An Yiqing leisurely put away the Deed of Land Transfer, a surge of anger filled his heart, his blood pressure spiking.

"Looks like Miss An arrived a step earlier than Lan." He fixed his gaze on An Yiqing, smiling warmly.

An Yiqing shrugged innocently, "What a coincidence, I just signed my name. Forty percent of the Black Horn Region land is mine now. Mr. Anpei, please return; as an apology, I will properly host Mr. Anpei after returning to express my regrets."

"Bastard!" The Onmyoji beside Anpei Lan was furious, preparing to curse but was stopped by Anpei Lan.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze falling on the smiling girl. The dark cave and the chaotic corpses seemed not to dim her radiance, looking at those clear eyes made Anpei Lan feel somewhat dazzled.

"May Miss An have a smooth journey back." He gave a deep look to An Yiqing, left a remark, then turned and left.

Watching the man’s departing figure, An Yiqing’s expression was unclear, with cold light filling her eyes.

"Miss..." Zhifeng appeared worried.

"No problem," An Yiqing retracted her gaze and smiled faintly, "We’ll face whatever comes head-on; we’re so many, what can’t we handle? Tonight, let’s rest here and sleep well, returning home tomorrow!"

On the silent night, in the cave where one couldn’t see their hand, everyone had already fallen asleep. An Yiqing leaned against the wall, covered with a thin blanket, thoughtfully packed by Zhifeng to keep off the chill during the journey.

Slowly opening her eyes, the bright eyes showed no sign of sleep.

Today, Anpei Lan’s words were not unheard by her. Although the journey here was fraught with danger, they were just ordinary beasts. As for the way back... that remained uncertain.

Opening Clairvoyant Eye, An Yiqing looked into the distance. Dense darkness filled the view, pervasive everywhere. Many shadows flickered through the forest, indistinctly human or animal.

Her eyes narrowed softly, An Yiqing’s whole body emitted a cold murderous aura. Anpei Lan, what are you planning?

Early the next morning, everyone gradually woke from sleep. Though sleeping here wasn’t as secure as home, last night was a rare occasion of good rest, now everyone was energetic, with bright eyes.
