My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1041: Come On, Get in the Coffin and Stand

Qing Li smirked, throwing three consecutive questions that left Yuan Hong speechless.

Then she lazily tucked her hair behind her ear, "Anyway, you’re a shameless dude, being without a facade suits your image perfectly."

I stood there dumbfounded, surprisingly not finding her methods cruel at all.

I even sensed a bit of violent aesthetics; Qing Li’s expressions and demeanor vaguely overlapped with the ruthless Yu Longting.

Which made Qing Li more pleasing to my eyes, as if Yu Longting was right beside me.

Moreover, inexplicably, I had a strange illusion that there seemed to be Yu Longting’s presence in the Royal Tomb...

The group stepped out of the Mushroom Forest and officially entered the core of King Yu’s Tomb.

Yuan Hong dragged his crippled body, barely holding on, aiding Qing Li and me in breaking through traps until we reached the main burial chamber.

If not for his deep cultivation, with such severe injuries, he would have died long ago.

"Beyond this room is the main burial chamber, I’ve never been to the main chamber, I don’t know how to get in." Yuan Hong led us to an auxiliary burial chamber, which was already large and held eighteen coffins.

At the end of the chamber was a large Bronze Gate, different from the overall artistic and decorative style of the tomb.

The surface of the Bronze Gate was polished smooth, with not a single carving or pattern.

It looked unopenable, without any mechanisms to be found.

"Monkey, don’t deceive me, you can’t afford the price." Qing Li warned with a smile.

Yuan Hong replied sinisterly, "If I lied to you, the Oath Curse would have retaliated by now. Since I’m intact, doesn’t that prove my innocence?"

I looked at Yuan Hong’s hapless figure, feeling both sorry and like he deserved it.

After closely examining near the Bronze Gate, I pointed to a circular depression beside it, "Grandma, this groove, doesn’t it look like a mask?"

"It does!" Qing Li replied affirmatively.

I am sure, as long as the correct mask fits inside, the Bronze Gate can open.

And the mask most likely, is worn by a corpse in one of the coffins.

Almost simultaneously, Qing Li and I looked at the eighteen coffins in the chamber.

In my heart, I’m guessing which coffin, when opened, will have a corpse wearing a mask.

I’m also worried that opening a coffin might trigger traps or corpse reanimation.

After all, Yuan Hong, as the Tomb Guardian, didn’t have the right to approach the main chamber. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He also didn’t know what mechanisms are in this chamber or the main chamber...

Qing Li suddenly questioned Yuan Hong, "Monkey, this is the burial chamber, the one buried sitting in state, correct?"

"Yes." Yuan Hong replied solemnly.

Qing Li pointed to the largest coffin in the center, "Monkey, you go open the coffin. Who would have thought, this guy would be so shameless, letting his own wife guard his tomb entrance."

"You... you... you cannot insult my master!" Yuan Hong, out of loyalty and protection for his master, glared at Qing Li fiercely with his bloodshot eyes.

Yet bound by the Oath Curse, reluctantly walked over to push open the coffin with his bare hands, revealing a female corpse inside.

The clothes on the female corpse were preserved for a thousand years, resembling Yin Yang Embroidery.

The fabric was bright red, with golden threads embroidered depicting Phoenix Auspicious Clouds.

She wore a delicate, beautiful golden mask on her face, with no trace of ancient craftsmanship.

The mask’s design was identical to the groove beside the Bronze Gate.

Indeed, his wife was left to guard the entrance; Qing Li truly is insightful.

Before opening the coffin, she already anticipated what was inside.

"What a beautiful mask." Qing Li bit her lip and reached out to touch the mask.

I tugged at Qing Li’s sleeve, reminding her, "We haven’t yet asked Yuan Hong if there are any mechanisms."

"The closer we are to the Demonic Cave, the weaker I feel, being struck by such a crude Illusion Technique, luckily you called me back in time." Qing Li suddenly patted my head appreciatively, and while I was still puzzled, she said to Yuan Hong, "Come on, Monkey, go stand in the coffin."
