Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1172 - 1174: Charles Is Missing (Part 5)

Her attitude was very firm.

Ji Chicheng did not force her any further and brought her into the forbidden zone.

Inside, it was like a small forest, with tall trees and bamboo everywhere, dark and oppressive, making people feel eerie.

The butler, feeling uneasy, followed behind them and shouted loudly into the surroundings, "This is the young master, Mr. Charles’ son. Do not shoot."

Hopefully, it would have some effect.

Every step they took was cautious, and pairs of eyes scanned the surroundings like radars.

But none of them spotted any guards.

Walking on the quiet path, Ji Anning occasionally glanced ahead and felt it was the same as the last time she was here, yet somehow different.

But she couldn’t say what was different.

At first, the path was straight, but as they walked, it felt winding and endless.

This was exactly the same as the last time Ji Anning came.

The butler was already sweating heavily, and beads of sweat appeared on Ji Chicheng’s forehead, likely due to anxiety.

Being stuck like this, even though Ji Anning had been here once and tried before, she was still anxious and wished she could fly with wings.

Ji Anning gripped Ji Chicheng’s hand tightly, "Uncle, don’t worry. Just keep walking, we will definitely get there."

Last time, she got lost initially, feeling scared and anxious, but then she worked hard to calm herself and explored ahead.

And she made it through.

Ji Chicheng nodded and hummed in agreement. He used his arm to hold Ji Chicheng’s hand tighter, and with his other hand, he grabbed one of her hands, and they walked forward in unison.

The butler continued to follow behind them, deeply afraid that a sniper might suddenly appear and shoot them.

’Caw, caw’

Suddenly, the sound of crows came from above, the sound reverberating in the air, and Ji Anning was so startled that she trembled, her whole body covered in goosebumps.

Ji Chicheng gently patted her to comfort her.

"Miss Niannian, is there another road here?"

They walked for a long time with no sign of hope, still going in circles, and the butler fearfully asked Ji Anning.

"No." Ji Anning shook her head and replied very confidently, "Last time I also entered through that door, and you saw it too, there was only that path at the start."

She reassured the butler, "Don’t worry, Mr. Charles must have designed it like a maze. So we must not panic, stay calm, we’ll definitely make it through."

After walking for so long and still going in circles, anyone would feel restless, and she was no exception.

She was suppressing it, trying to stay calm.

"Hah."

Hearing Ji Anning comfort the butler, Ji Chicheng suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Ji Anning and the butler looked at him, puzzled.

He said coldly, "Everyone is dead, what’s the point of doing all this."

Saying this, he let go of Ji Anning’s hand, then held it again.

This time, he was determined, each step heavy, as if carrying hatred.

"Uncle, it’s there, we’re there."

Finally, looking up ahead, there was a bright light.

In front of them was the edge of the forest, arriving at a sea of flowers... the holy place.

Yes, for Charles, it should be a holy place, sacred and inviolable.

Ji Anning pointed ahead, excitedly calling out to Ji Chicheng, then let go of his hand and ran towards that direction.
