In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 64: The Secret Chamber

Could it be that Yue Mingxuan had taken advantage of him while he was unconscious and kissed him?

Shang Qinghua’s gaze toward Yue Mingxuan carried a hint of curiosity.

"Hey, hey, don’t look at me like that," Yue Mingxuan said, reading his expression clearly. "You almost lost your energy just now and I was helping you. But then we both fell into the water. It was all... an accident! It’s totally an accident..."

A flash of anger crossed his face.

Did he really look like the kind of person who would harass an unconscious people?

Shang Qinghua turned his head away without speaking.

The pain in his lips, combined with the lingering weakness in his body, silently confirmed Yue Mingxuan’s version of events.

This must have been his first kiss with a men and the memory was... not exactly pleasant.

"Don’t expect me to be responsible..." Shang Qinghua said.

Yue Mingxuan couldn’t let him answer first, so he rambled quickly, "It’s my first kiss! You’ve surely kissed plenty of people before, so I don’t need to be responsible for you."

But then Shang Qinghua shot him a single reply that left Yue Mingxuan dumbfounded.

"No." His voice carried a trace of anger.

What did this guy think of him? A stud who like to kiss countless people?

In truth, though he was admired by many, he had always been strict with himself.

Faced with Shang Qinghua’s unwavering gaze, Yue Mingxuan shrank his neck slightly. "Well, my lips are being cut too. So I guess we’re even."

At this, Shang Qinghua was internally exasperated.

How could anyone say there was such a thing as being "even" in a situation like this?

"Let’s go inside and see if we can find a way out," Shang Qinghua said, he then standing up and moving toward the right side of the hot spring.

Yue Mingxuan had no choice but to follow him obediently.

After passing through the white light, the two of them arrived at a small hidden chamber.

Though not large, it was furnished entirely with fine rosewood, exuding an antique charm and faint fragrance.

On the altar at the center of the room, instead of offerings to gods or Buddhas, there was a large Five Elements Bagua diagram.

At the Yin and Yang extremes, two small boxes were placed. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The thing that surrounding them is the bookshelves that contains stacks of gold bars.

Time had left a thick layer of dust on them, evidence of their age.

Could this be the legendary residence of a legendary hermit?

Yue Mingxuan scanned the room with a mix of awe and delight.

The gold bars made it easy for her to imagine a bright and prosperous future.

He stepped forward, hoping to take some of the gold for his bag.

But the moment his hand touched the gold, it turned into powder.

"If you want to die, keep moving," Shang Qinghua said sharply.

Since entering the chamber, his expression had remained serious.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan still fumbling recklessly, he warned him in a stern voice.

Hearing Shang Qinghua’s stern tone, Yue Mingxuan reluctantly stepped back.

If this sly man said it was dangerous, then it must really be dangerous.

After all, he had experienced far more storms and hardships than he ever had.

The gold bar indeed very tempting, but life was far more important, this much he understood.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan obediently following behind him, Shang Qinghua felt more at ease and began carefully examining the hidden chamber.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the seemingly warm white light they had passed through earlier was actually a powerful mist based trap.

Anyone who went through it would immediately suffer internal bleeding and die.

Even a master hermit with exceptional martial skills would, at best, be thrown into a Five Elements Bagua formation upon passing it, unable to enter the chamber.

Yet he and Yue Mingxuan had passed it safely and entered the room without trouble.

That was highly unusual.

"Prince Shang, do you think the boxes might contain some amazing treasure? Or a martial arts manual? Or maybe the key to a hidden treasury?" In such a dangerous environment, Yue Mingxuan’s wild imagination left Shang Qinghua both amused and exasperated.

He had no choice but to patiently explain things to him.

"When we came in, that white light was a powerful mist based trap. Ordinary people passing through would instantly die from the poison. Even masters with unparalleled martial arts who survived the white light would be thrown into a Five Elements Bagua formation. But we entered directly into this chamber. We must not take this lightly."

Yue Mingxuan tilted his head and watched Shang Qinghua as he explained.

When he was serious like this, he seemed even more handsome than usual.

No wonder his looks drove countless women and men in the four kingdoms wild, this man was really impressive.

Yue Mingxuan felt extremely unlucky.

Everyone else who transmigrated to another world seemed to gain money, power, or handsome companions.

Even if they landed in an ordinary family, they could work hard to survive.

But he had nothing.

He was a hostage, trapped in this strange place, with gold that turned to dust at his touch and a deadly trap at the entrance.

In his heart, he lamented, "Heavens, can you please not play tricks on me like this..."

Perhaps sensing his frustration, Shang Qinghua glanced at him and continued, "This chamber also contains powerful traps. The gold would not turn to dust on its own. It’s only because you touched it, breaking the protective energy, that the trap activated and turned it to powder."

"So, you’re saying that if the trap is broken properly, this gold is real gold?" Yue Mingxuan asked, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

After a moment of regret for complaining to the heavens earlier, he quickly looked at Shang Qinghua and asked anxiously, "Since you know so much, can you break the trap directly?"

Shang Qinghua gave him a look that clearly said, Are you stupid?
