"Miss Ji, what do you think?" Tang Nie continued to ask. Seeing Ji Qian hesitate, he felt a surge of excitement. At this moment, as long as he pushed a bit more, she would definitely agree. Satisfied with his desire for conquest, Tang Nie's mind began to fantasize about the distinguished Lady Ji throwing herself into his arms.

Indeed, looking at the guards beside Tang Nie, all of whom were experts at the Nascent Soul Stage and Out-of-Body Stage, they were much stronger than the Moon Guards. If she could rely on him, even encountering Ghost Soldiers would pose no problem; at worst, they could leave this fool behind to hold them off. Although it might give this "lecher" a little psychological satisfaction, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks. Moreover, Ji Qian had an inexplicable confidence that she would eventually meet Ye Shikai. At that time, not only would she have Ye Shikai's help, but she would also have the support of the Ji Family. Tang Nie would have no choice but to silently endure and be an unpaid bodyguard the entire way.

"This is indeed a good plan." Ji Qian nodded. "Alright then, since Mr. Tang is so kind, I will gladly accept."

"Haha, great! Miss Ji, rest assured, the road ahead will be very safe." Tang Nie clapped his hands, reaching both hands towards Ji Qian.

"Mr. Tang, men and women should not touch each other..."

"Oh, oh, my apologies, I was rude." Tang Nie's outstretched hand awkwardly stopped in mid-air.

"In that case, let's continue forward." Ji Qian pointed ahead. The time for the relic to open was only one day, but the passage of time inside and outside the relic was different. One day outside could be up to three days inside. After three days, they would definitely have to leave.

"No problem, guards, clear the way."

....................................…

Ye Shikai was somewhat restless. The event of opening the bronze gate was still vivid in his mind; it should be Chen Yuxin who opened it, perhaps she was the so-called "Heavenly Destiny." But why? Perhaps ancient people truly believed in "destiny."

"Kai, what are you thinking?" Chen Yuxin asked curiously.

"Nothing, just wondering what wonders this relic might have, whether it's treasures or some kind of secret manual." Ye Shikai looked around. Upon entering the bronze gate, this place finally appeared somewhat like a relic: murals engraved on the walls, and many Great Seal texts that were the official language of the Qin Country, seemingly recording some historical accounts.

"Actually... none of this really matters. For great families, wealth is just a string of long numbers and countless collectibles. More or less doesn't really matter. For a family to grow, expansion is necessary, and for expansion, it's crucial to enhance the family's strength. So, the treasures and secret manuals in the relic are the most valuable," Chen Yuxin said softly. "Once expanded, wealth will follow."

"What you say makes a lot of sense." Ye Shikai agreed deeply.

"Wait a minute, it seems there's a warehouse up ahead." Ye Shikai quickly walked forward. It was a wooden door. Logically, wood materials were rarely used in relics to prevent decay over time, but this wooden door appeared very new, showing no signs of being centuries old.

Ye Shikai slowly pushed open the door, and the scene before him made him exclaim in surprise. Large and small pieces of gold, gems, and jade were placed everywhere, quickly attracting the crowd's attention.

"It's truly a treasure trove."

"Look, these are antiques from the Qin Country."

The crowd buzzed excitedly, noting not just the antiques. Even the gold and silver were enough to make an ordinary person a billionaire, and it was actual money. Moreover, the finely carved jade pieces were Qin Dynasty treasures of exorbitant value.

Ye Shikai took out the Storage Ring, filling it with half of the items. The crowd was completely stunned.

"Miss Li, I'm not greedy, I'll leave the other half to you." Ye Shikai smiled faintly, displaying a "gentleman's" smile.

"You..." Li Yueying nearly cursed. These items were impressive and valuable, but the problem was this wasn't a private treasure vault that could be carted home. It was a relic, and over twenty people had already died since they entered. No family would be greedy to such an extent.

Moreover, there were treasures ahead. They couldn't carry these items by hand. Reluctantly, despite the allure of the treasure-filled room, they had to abandon it.

And Ye Shikai's Storage Ring seemed to be an even more priceless treasure. But this time, no one dared to covet it. No one wanted to become the third "charred corpse."

"What, you don't want it? Ah, that's right, your Li Mansion is rich and powerful. If you don't want it, then I won't stand on ceremony," Ye Shikai said smoothly, seeming to anger people without repercussion.

"Ye Shikai, you're doing this on purpose." Li Yueying was genuinely angry, shouting out. As soon as she finished speaking, the other half of the gold and jade had already been pocketed by Ye Shikai. The once-golden treasure trove suddenly became empty.

"Alright, let's keep moving," Ye Shikai, after "sweeping" through, continued walking forward without caring about the others. His preliminary judgment was that the gold in the treasure trove weighed several tons. Even a wealthy tycoon couldn't possibly take out so much gold at once, and as for the other families, they could only watch as Ye Shikai took it away.

Yanjing, Netherworld Palace Base.

"Sister-in-law, you... why are you here?" Soul Destroyer, following Ye Shikai's previous instructions, led a team to guard the base. He was about to go to bed when suddenly awakened by Ailina, and then... Su Qingyu barged in directly. It wasn't her first time here; she went straight to the office and Ye Shikai's bedroom, but both were empty. Furthermore, Ghost, Nightmare, and others were also absent from the base, making it feel very deserted.

"Where is he?" Su Qingyu quickly asked. "Has he already gone to some... relic?"

"Uh... to be precise, the last we heard from them was two hours ago, but I don't know their current situation," Soul Destroyer said awkwardly. He didn't dare do anything to this "former sister-in-law," but Ye Shikai hadn't given any instructions for this operation. If Su Qingyu asked, how should he respond?

"What? I want to go to Chang'an." Su Qingyu immediately declared.

"Sister-in-law, please calm down," Soul Destroyer hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. "Even if you went now, the relic would have already been closed; it would be futile."

"Yes, President, the Netherworld King has traveled to relics around the world more than once. You don't need to worry."
