The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

353: The Opening of the God’s Tomb

[Lord LeWuji’s[notes] residence.]

“Father I’m back.” LeXue walked in gracefully.

LeWuji was sitting in the hall talking to his eldest daughter, LeXuan, when he saw LeXue walk in.
He couldn’t help but smile.

“Sister, you’re back.
How did it feel to be an auctioneer for a day?” LeFei considered being an auctioneer herself when she saw how her sister had looked on stage.

“What was there to feel? It wasn’t much.” LeXue laughed in a light and indifferent manner.

“Xue-er, if you’re tired, go and rest first.” LeWuji cared about his daughters.
The auction was done, but it had taken several hours, so it was understandable if his daughter was tired.

“I’m OK.
I’m not tired.
By the way, where is Eldest Brother? I didn’t see him on the way back.” LeXue looked around but she only saw a few servants.

“Your Eldest Brother is preparing to enter the tomb, so you won’t see him until later.”

That made LeXue worried.
“Father, when are you going to open the tomb? Didn’t you say there was still an unaccounted key? Can you open the tomb without that key?”

LeWuji picked up his tea cup and took a slow sip of the fragrant tea.
“The third key has already appeared.
I can feel the owner of the key nearby.
The person will definitely appear on the opening day.”

The person was already here?! The two sisters were stunned.
They didn’t expect the long sought after third key would appear on Biluo island.

“Then, when will we be opening the tomb?” LeFei immediately asked.
She was very curious about the tomb.

“In three days.
Master Caesar and I will go there together.
The owner of the third key will definitely appear.
At that time, I expect you sisters to stay here at home.
I don’t want you secretly following us.” LeWuji knew his daughters.
LeXue was sensible and obedient but LeFei was headstrong.
If she wasn’t kept under control, who knew what kind of troubles she would get into.

LeFei pouted, upset at her father’s decision.
She made up her mind she would definitely secretly follow him on opening day.
Who would be able to stop her?

LeXue sighed.
She could tell her sister was already plotting.
She couldn’t let LeFei break into the tomb and make trouble for her father and brother.
She was going to have to keep a close eye on her sister for the next few days.

Later that day, the island learned LeWuji would lead people to the tomb of the Sea emperor in three days.

People excitedly discussed it everywhere.
The hotel where Ming Xi and his group were staying was no exception.

“Have you heard? The tomb of the Sea emperor is going to open in three days.”

“Yea, I heard.
Wasn’t it that the restrictions around the tomb were too strong before? Did the lord of the island find a powerful magician to break the array?”

“No, I heard they found all the keys they needed to open it.” The man who spoke said so smugly.

“What keys?” The others weren’t as informed.

“You don’t know? A friend of a sister of my brother’s friend’s works at the Moon auction house.
The last item auctioned was the key to the Sea emperor’s tomb.”

“Someone willingly auctioned the Sea emperor’s key?! That is crazy! I would have hidden the key and gone to the tomb and got all the treasures for myself!”

“I say my brother, you’re thinking is way too simple.
You need three keys to open the tomb.
Now all three keys have been collected.”

“Turns out there are three keys.
The lord of this island said the tomb would be opening in three days, so then. . .  that must mean all three keys have been collected!”

Ming Xi and his group heard the excited conversation when they came down for their meal.

The waiter brought their food over and they began eating and drinking as they discussed the tomb being opened soon.

“Senior Ming Xi, do you think the island lord knows where the keys are? Otherwise why would he say the tomb would open in three days?” Ink was openly suspicious.

“I think so.
I’ve had this feeling we’re being watched.
It’s definitely not just in my head.
They’ve been watching us since we got off the boat.” Jier spoke up after swallowing a slice of barbeque.

“Those watching us must know Senior Ming Xi has the key.
Those who know it would be the same ones who were with us on Death island.” Leo said.

“Those people have been watching us for so many days, are they trying to steal the key?!” Margaret asked.

Matheson didn’t think so.
“If they had wanted to grab it, they would have tried days ago.
They wouldn’t have waited until now.”

Feng Wu looked around at everyone talking.
She didn’t interrupt but kept eating her food: one bite of chicken on the left, one bite of beef skewer on the right, and one bite of bread on the side.
It was a joy to eat such tasty food.

Little White was feeding Little Bun beside her.
Occasionally Little Bun would stretch out his tiny arm to grab a plate as drool slid down his chin.
Like mother like son. . . 

Ming Xi and the group talked for a long time.
In the end, they decided to go and see for themselves.
Sooner or later, the tomb would have to be opened.
It wasn’t like they’d be able to hide anyway.

Besides that, Ming Xi had discovered an aspect of the key.
As long as the distance wasn’t too great, it could sense the approximate direction of the other keys.
He could feel the other keys on the island, so it stood to reason the other two key holders could also sense the same.

It was a reasonable assumption that the other two key holders would use the keys’ ability to find him if he didn’t show up at the tomb’s opening in three days.

He wasn’t afraid of anyone, but he didn’t want to cause trouble, so in three days he would go.

The next three days were the liveliest days in all of Biluo history.
The tomb was on everyone’s lips and many more people poured onto the island.
