The expression on the masked man's face was more dramatic than if he had been struck by lightning. His forced, dry laugh was stiff and distorted, and his features looked like they had been haphazardly glued together with superglue. It was utterly ridiculous. His heart pounded like it was being stung by a swarm of wasps, his mind racing. His eyes darted around like a guilty thief, stealing glances at Luo Qingci, muttering to himself, "This old lady is a super demon, so difficult to deal with! I need to find a way to stall her for now, and then slip away faster than a rocket. Even if she's a three-headed, six-armed goddess of war, she'll get tired eventually. Then, hehe, I'll make sure she knows how powerful I am!" With that thought, he forced himself to remain calm, cleared his throat, and spoke in a hoarse voice, like a broken bamboo flute polished by sandpaper: "The entrance to the secret chamber is behind the boulder at the end of the cave. It requires specific hand gestures and incantations to open." Though the words were out, his slightly trembling tone seemed to loudly proclaim his inner turmoil.
Luo Qingci was incredibly shrewd; she saw through his trick at a glance. A cunning smile curled at the corner of her lips, like a smug little fox showing off after a successful illicit affair. She scoffed inwardly, "You think you can pull any tricks on me with your petty schemes? You're dreaming!" The thought had barely formed in her mind when, with lightning speed, she grabbed the golden-masked man's ear and twisted it like a screw, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Don't try to fool me! If you utter a single wrong word, I..." "I'll twist your ear off and use it as an earring, so you can wear it every day to annoy you. I'll also give you a matching nose ring, making you the most 'cool' guy in the martial arts world!" The golden-masked man winced in pain, his features contorted, looking like a hapless victim being tortured, begging for mercy in a hoarse voice: "Grandma, spare me! I really, really won't do it again! Please, have mercy on me this time!" He looked utterly pathetic, like a little dog with its tail between its legs, being severely punished by its owner.
The two reached the end of the cave. Before them stood a colossal rock, taller than two people, resembling a silent, ancient beast. It exuded a mysterious and oppressive aura, as if silently warning: Unauthorized entry is tantamount to death. The man in the golden mask took a deep breath, his chest heaving like a balloon, and made strange hand gestures in the air, muttering incantations. It was as if he were summoning a thousand-year-old evil power to perform a forbidden black magic ritual. Luo Qingci stared intently at him, her eyes wide like copper bells, not blinking, afraid to miss a single detail. She sneered inwardly, "Hmph, I'll see what tricks you can pull. If you dare to play me, I'll make you understand why flowers are so red, and turn you into a giant, croaking frog!"
Suddenly, the boulder emitted a muffled rumbling sound, as if an ancient beast, dormant for millennia, had been awakened. It slowly moved aside, revealing a deep, dark opening. A damp, rotten stench assaulted her senses, causing Luo Qingci's face to contort in pain. It was as if someone had forced a mouthful of foul-smelling sewer water down her throat. She fanned herself exaggeratedly, her brows furrowed into a tight knot, and exclaimed, "This smell is like my family's heirloom stinky socks that have been soaking in a septic tank for a thousand years and then baking in the sun for ten thousand! Is there some kind of super biological weapon hidden in this secret chamber? I even suspect that going in might turn me into a stinking monster!"
She pulled a luminous pearl from her bosom, flicked it gracefully, and it flew into the cave like a shooting star. In the soft light, the secret chamber was filled with mountains of rare treasures; the brilliance of the gold and silver jewels was dazzling, as if the entire world was enveloped in this radiant light. "Wow, I'm going to be rolling in money!" Luo Qingci exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining like a hungry cat suddenly seeing a sumptuous feast. Her mouth was practically watering, and she was about to rush in, already picturing herself surrounded by gold and silver, issuing commands like a queen.
But at that critical moment, she snapped back to reality, like a vigilant cheetah, glancing sideways at the golden-masked man beside her, thinking to herself, "This guy is full of bad intentions, there might be deadly traps inside. I can't fall for his tricks so easily. I, Luo Qingci, am not the kind of person who gets blinded by victory." With that thought, a wicked smile appeared on her lips, like a cunning little fox who had stolen some fish, her eyes gleaming with calculation: "You go in and scout ahead. If there are any traps or hidden weapons, you can shield me. If you perform well, I'll reward you with a 'Best Human Shield' medal and a 'Most Obedient Little Brother' certificate, so you can be 'infinitely glorious' in the martial arts world!" With that, she kicked the golden-masked man into the secret chamber, the movement clean and swift, and she even stylishly tossed her hair, as if announcing to the world the perfection of her kick and her absolute control.
The masked man stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face, his mouth full of dust. He was furious, feeling like a puppet being manipulated at will. Anger burned fiercely in his chest, but he dared not lash out, only roaring inwardly, "That wretched little brat! When I get the chance, I'll throw all her precious medicine pouches into the latrine, pour all her poisons into the river, and leave her with nowhere to cry! I'm not finished with her! I'll shave her head and paint her face a garish mess!" He moved forward cautiously, each step trembling like a frightened rabbit, his eyes wide, vigilantly observing his surroundings, his ears perked up, afraid of the slightest disturbance. Suddenly, his footing gave way, triggering a mechanism. Instantly, countless sharp arrows shot out from both sides of the cave walls, whistling through the air like deadly lightning, shattering the silence of the secret chamber. "Oh my god!" The golden-masked man turned deathly pale, scrambling to avoid the trap while cursing incessantly, "This damn mechanism is going to kill me! I should never have gotten involved in this mess! What have I done to deserve this? Why am I so unlucky!" He looked utterly wretched, his hair a complete mess, his clothes torn to shreds by arrows, a picture of a hapless man crawling out of a disaster zone, with a comical air of destitution about him.
Luo Qingci stood at the cave entrance, looking at his miserable state, laughing so hard she almost fell over, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't straighten her back, clutching her stomach and slapping her thighs between laughs: "Haha, serves you right for being so unruly! Now you know how powerful I am! But don't die too quickly, I still have so many questions to ask! If you dare to die, I'll make your corpse into a specimen and put it at my door as a 'door god,' let's see who dares to mess with me! Maybe it can even become my personal 'funny ornament,' to amuse me. If you behave well, I'll even consider erecting a 'Most Miserable Opponent in History' monument for you, so future generations will know your 'glorious deeds'!" Her laughter echoed in the cave, shaking dust from the walls, as if proclaiming her absolute dominance and the exhilarating victory to the world.
