Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel-VPAATP - V4C136 – The Shape of the Key Looks Quite Like… (Unedited)

One second, two seconds, three…… ten seconds… A minute passed but the stone gate didn’t show slightest of movements. It was as if the key I inserted in it didn’t even exist for the gate!

After a quarter of an hour had passed, I finally lost my patience. I reached out and pulled onto the iron ring on the door. It was the same as before, an energy entered my body!

It seems that this “key” was a failure. I took it with frustration and shook my head towards Wu YingYing.

“Oh, the result is actually under our expectations!” Wu YingYing comforted me and said, “If it was so easy and simple to open this door, why would someone even bother with it?”

I nodded. What Wu YingYing said was true, from the perspective of the defensive performance of the stone gate, it seemed impossible for it to be opened so easily! But the question now was whether the key wasn’t correctly made, or was it just that this groove wasn’t even a keyhole? Could we be going in the wrong direction?

Relatively speaking, the first reason seemed more likely! After all, it was possible that the material of the real key was something special, and since the door was so smart, it wouldn’t be easy to fool it with a fake key!

The iron key I have was obviously fake and shoddy, so it was natural that the door wouldn’t open!

Understanding this, though I was disappointed, but at least I tried and won’t have any regret!

As for why that person from the Qing Dynasty {TL: The guy who’s skeleton Liu Zhenhai and Liu Lei found in the cave.} didn’t die, it might be that he was a martial arts master, and had a physique that was much stronger than the average man!

“Forget it, we tried hard. We won’t have any regrets later, at least!” I said helplessly, deciding to leave the matter behind me.

“You don’t need to be disappointed like this and lose heart! Although the scientific level of the past was inferior to the present, the minds of people were not inferior in any way. Maybe, what we did was something the military also tried but failed!” Wu YingYing said with a smile.

I knew that what Wu YingYing said was right. Perhaps, this method was also thought up by the people before but they didn’t succeed! Thinking till here, I said, “That’s true, we are also helpless over this matter now! As for finding the genuine key for this stone gate, I estimate that that would be impossible! Who knows that thing might not even be on Earth anymore!”

“What you say is true, but who knows, maybe we might find a way in the future!” Wu YingYing smiled sweetly and said, “Give me the fake key!”

“What are you going to do with this?” I handed the key to Wu YingYing, “I was just going to throw it away!”

“Oh, I just think that this thing looks pretty good, and you can wear it as a ring!” Wu YingYing said, putting the iron key around her finger, “But, don’t think this will be all, you have to give me a wedding ring still!”

“What! Ring!” I suddenly thought of something but couldn’t verify my thought!

Wu YingYing obviously didn’t understand my words and thought that I didn’t want to buy her a ring, “It doesn’t need to be anything rare! I will cherish it even if it’s ordinary!”

“Ah?” After I listened to Wu YingYing’s words, I was startled and said, “YingYing, that’s not what I meant!” I held Wu YingYing and kissed her face, “Thank you! You are my lucky star! Giving me inspiration and every moment!”

This time, it was Wu YingYing’s turn to look at me strangely and ask, “What do you mean? What did I say? How did I give you inspiration?”

“That’s true, YingYing!” I finally had a flash of enlightenment! I remembered the British Collector, Steven’s words! A ring and a map were offered to Empress Cixi together. The map was already in my hand, so what about the ring? Wouldn’t it be possible that it was the key of this stone gate?

“YingYing, you listen to me. I will explain it to you slowly!” Therefore, I talked to Wu YingYing about Meng QingQing and that ring I got for her.

After Wu YingYing heard the story, she gawked and said, “Then, it’s possible that that ring will be the key to this stone gate!”

“I think so too, but there is a jewel on the ring, so it won’t fit in this groove!” I thought that it wasn’t correct, would it really be so coincidental?

“Husband, I don’t understand how your thinking can be so rigid sometimes. If the handwriting on the back of the ring can be faked, then can’t the jewel on the ring be faked?” Wu YingYing hit right on point!

True, since the writing was fake, why can’t the jewel be added later? Thinking of this, I was both happy and embarrassed! I wasn’t as good as Wu YingYing when it came to analyzing!

“You are right! The possibility of that is indeed very high!” I nodded, “I will return to B City tonight and get the ring! We will then come back here again!”

“It’s so troublesome!” Wu YingYing picked up the iron ring in her hand and gave it to me, “Just compare that ring to this one. If the ring appears to be the same, then bring it. If it’s not the same, there’s no need to think about this matter anymore!”

I took the iron ring and left together with Wu YingYing.

In the evening, I used spatial transfer and appeared inside my villa in B City. Actually, if I wasn’t in a hurry, I wouldn’t have used my special abilities at all. After all, I want to live this life normally and happily, if I used my prowess to solve everything, there won’t be any fun in living like that!

The women in the villa already knew of my abilities, so it was unexpected for them that I would appear in the villa out of nowhere. Instead, they were all pleasantly surprised.

At that time, I had appeared right behind Zhao YanYan. Suddenly, the child in my heart rose and I covered her eyes from behind.

“Who is it? Quickly move away, don’t try to make jokes at this moment!” Zhao YanYan was watching TV at that moment, so having her eyes covered suddenly obviously irritated her.

I obviously didn’t let go, so Zhao YanYan had no alternative but to use her own hands and push mine back, “You, not taking this elder sister seriously at all!”

“Hehe, are you trying to exercise your authority as the queen of the harem since your husband isn’t home!” After I listened to her words, I laughed.

“Ah, husband, so it’s you! How come you are already back!” Zhao YanYan was pleasantly surprised as she turned her head, “Wasn’t I just joking? I always follow husband’s will and get along with the sisters…”

“When did I say anything, I was just joking as well!” I said, “I came back to determine something this time around and will have to leave soon!”

“Then, do you have something important!” Although Zhao YanYan was disappointed, she didn’t try to stop me.

“Is QingQing at home?” I asked.

“QingQing went to the company and hasn’t come back yet. If you have some important matter, you can just call her!” Zhao YanYan said.

I nodded and dialed Meng QingQing’s number.

“Husband, what’s the matter?” As soon as the call connected, Meng QingQing asked. She was speaking in a low voice for some reason.

“What happened? Is it inconvenient to talk?” I asked strangely.
