Boarding Life

Qin Qi stared at the statue for a long time before reluctantly averting his gaze.

He looked around and only then realized that in the two rows near him were items that resembled offerings, each with a different appearance.

"This must be the treasure that Chen the Cripple mentioned!" Qin Qi looked puzzled.

Who is being worshipped here?

Even a single treasure could ensure the Chen family's prosperity for two hundred years.

If this were to spread, it would cause a sensation everywhere.

His eyes quickly fell on a ring.

This ring was carved with a dragon, and both the craftsmanship and material were entirely different from the rings available in the market now.

"What exactly is this? Earlier, Chen the Cripple mentioned a Carved Phoenix Ring, but this is dragon-carved. Could they be a pair?" Qin Qi stroked his chin.

However, the mysterious woman showed no sign of responding to him.

This left Qin Qi surprised, "Where are you? Don't play dead at a crucial moment!"

No matter how he asked, the mysterious woman made no attempt to respond.

This gave Qin Qi a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when he picked up the dragon-carved ring, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.

This feeling of being stared at made his spine go cold and his hairs stand on end!

He abruptly turned around, only to find that there was nothing but the statue…

Qin Qi thought it was an illusion and proceeded to take several more treasures!

But with each item he took, the feeling of sweat dripping from his back intensified, as if taking one more item would lead to something ominous.

"Damn…"

Qin Qi swallowed his saliva, "No wonder the Chen family's ancestors didn't dare take too many things, just grabbed a few and ran away! This is too creepy!"

But perhaps his temper flared up.

Qin Qi turned around and stared directly at the celestial-like statue of a woman, "I'm a living person, how can I be frightened by a statue? Try scaring me again?"

The creepy feeling didn't dissipate.

"Damn it!"

Qin Qi gritted his teeth, walked to the statue, and stared at it with intense eyes.

Suddenly, an evil thought was born in his mind.

He instinctively raised his hand and placed it on the statue's ample area.

Although he was touching a statue, it strangely felt like he was caressing a living person. That delightful sensation was even better than touching a real person's plush spot!

The creepy feeling disappeared.

It seemed even the statue hadn't expected Qin Qi would commit such a desecrating act.

After just a moment.

An even stronger sensation of horror emanated all around Qin Qi, forcing him back a few steps. When he came to his senses, he was already drenched in cold sweat.

"I just don't believe it!

Qin Qi's rebellious mind surged completely.

He quickly approached, placing his hand between the statue's legs, habitually stroking twice.

The horrifying feeling vanished.

Qin Qi's mouth turned up in a grin, "Touch you, and so what? What can a statue do to me?"

However, just as his words fell!

Suddenly, the entire ancient temple started vibrating violently, so strongly that he could barely stand!

An even more intense feeling of horror flooded Qin Qi's heart.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry and go!" The mysterious woman's voice echoed unexpectedly.

Qin Qi dared not hesitate any longer, and leaping forward, he dove into the opening.

Then, along the pool, he found the position of the deep well and climbed up all the way.

Chen the Cripple and others were still waiting there. Seeing Qin Qi come up soaking wet, they exclaimed joyfully, "Young Master Qin, found anything good?"

Qin Qi, now drenched in sweat, was a bit terrified looking down the wellbr> "Let's go, I'll explain once we're down the mountain!"

Seeing Qin Qi's panicked face, Chen the Cripple dared not say much more and rushed down the mountain with Qin Qi.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, Qin Qi exhaled a sigh of relief and spoke candidly, "Just like your Chen family's ancestors, I had the feeling of being watched as soon as I took a few things."

"I'm afraid the three items you wanted won't satisfy you, as I took four treasures in total. I'll keep two, and these two are for you!"

Knowing Qin Qi's abilities, Chen the Cripple knew he had no need to lie.

Moreover, records do exist in his family's history about events just as eerie.

He tremblingly took two items from Qin Qi and respectfully said, "Thanks to Young Master Qin. Since you didn't take many items, I'll only take one."

Qin Qi flicked his sleeves, "Take two items; from now on, we're square!"

Chen the Cripple then dared to retrieve another item from Qin Qi, cautiously asking, "Young Master Qin, about today's events…"

"Don't worry. Only you, me, and the heavens and earth know. No one else will hear of it." Qin Qi replied earnestly.

This is a serious matter, and that statue deep within the well is truly wicked; he wouldn't speak of it publicly!

At hearing this, Chen the Cripple became relieved, "If that's so, I'll send Mr. Qin back!"

Qin Qi sat in the car, trying to calm his rattled nerves.

Finally, he asked the mysterious woman in reproach, "What was with you earlier, why didn't you speak at all?"

The mysterious woman responded immediately, "That statue is alive!"

Qin Qi's eyes widened instantly.

"What do you mean!"

He gulped down his saliva, "Alive? But how could someone live over two hundred years or be turned into a statue?"

The mysterious woman chuckled, "Given your current abilities, knowing this doesn't do you any good. I can only tell you that this statue woman is an extraordinary presence, probably forced into this form."

"I didn't speak because I didn't want her to notice. Speaking of which, you really are bold to dare desecrate her! And not only to toy with her ample spots but even touch her there!"

Qin Qi was somewhat regretful, "She won't really chase after me, right?"

"Relax; if she wanted your life, there would be no way you'd be alive now," the mysterious woman lazily replied:

"Consider this an opportunity for you. If you can deal with her, your chances against Zuo Qingyue increase greatly."

Qin Qi was dumbfounded, "Deal with her? How do I deal with her?"

The mysterious woman replied with a beaming smile, "She's so extraordinarily beautiful; aren't you even a tiny bit tempted?"

Qin Qi exclaimed with both laughter and tears, "Even if she's beautiful, you can't expect me to sleep with a statue!"

No matter how he looked at it, his skills at conquering women couldn't be applied to a statue!
