“What’s the matter?” Lin Xiao asked him.
“Nothing. The fragrance is too strong, so I wanted to pick one and smell it.” Actually, he didn’t tell Lin Xiao the truth. In fact, he picked up the grass only because he seemed to be controlled. Also, this place looked very abnormal. Ling Luo squinted his eyes, very curious about what was inside the palace.
“Let’s get in.” Ling Luo said. In any case, his cultivation was a little higher than Lin Xiao’s, so if there was any danger, he could let Lin Xiao escape first and then he would find an opportunity to flee too.
Thus, the two stepped in the dilapidated palace.
Unexpectedly, the inside was neat and clean. Some stone pillars stood inside, on which decorative patterns were carved. The interior of the building could be sized up with one look. Except for the stone pillars, there was nothing else. Not… not even dust.
Lin Xiao and Ling Luo looked at each other blankly.
What was this situation? There were only stone pillars here and nothing else?
“…Could there be a mechanism here?” Lin Xiao asked Ling Luo.
Ling Luo glanced around before replying: “Let’s search.” Maybe, he was also wrong and there was nothing peculiar about this palace.
“En, alright.” Lin Xiao nodded his head and searched around.
After searching for a while, he heard Ling Luo’s heavy breaths. What was happening? He frowned, turned his body and noticed Ling Luo’s back, while he was supporting himself on one of the pillars. Ling Luo’s pants were extremely strange. So he rushed towards his side and asked as he patted his shoulders: “Ling Luo, how are you?”
However, Ling Luo didn’t answer and instead panted harder, to the point that even his body started to tremble.
Feeling insecure, Lin Xiao slowly walked before Ling Luo and lifted Ling Luo’s head, which was hanging down, with both of his hands. As soon as he saw Ling Luo’s face, Lin Xiao was frightened. Ling Luo’s eyes were red and his face was still handsome, but he continued to change expressions. For a moment he looked depressed, another moment he looked crazy, another moment again he seemed suffering… And sweat was dripping from his forehead.
“Ling Luo, what’s up with you?” Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiao touched his forehead and discovered that it was astonishingly hot. He switched places and sensed Lin Xiao’ body, which was also very hot.
“PAH!” A sudden sound arose in the quiet palace.
Lin Xiao looked at Ling Luo, who slapped his hands away from him, shocked.
“This… This place… is strange! You… quickly… leave… this… place.” Ling Luo gnashed through his teeth, while his face held pain. Maybe because he used too much pressure, dollops of blood appeared in his mouth.
But how could Lin Xiao leave Ling Luo here like this? Therefore, he held Ling Luo’s body, wanting to put him on the ground, but his hands were pushed away once again…
In the end, Ling Luo yelled to Lin Xiao: “Leave! Quickly leave!” His strength was almost gone and now he squatted down, lowering his head while shivering violently.
