Chapter 488 Leaving the Fire Region 6

Around the golden coffin, a faint glow like fireflies shimmered, seemingly a transparent protective shield, encasing the coffin and preventing anyone from easily touching it.

"This is…" Su Luo looked at Nangong Liuyun suspiciously.

"This is an ancient sealing array," Nangong Liuyun's face was as beautiful as a painting, his complexion crystal clear. He paused, then added, "As long as we open the golden coffin, we can get out."

Su Luo understood that the seals, mechanisms, and hidden weapons inside the stone chamber must have been dealt with by Nangong Liuyun beforehand, otherwise, they wouldn't be standing here so safely.

"Huh, there are words here." Su Luo pointed to the area below the abdomen of the golden coffin and read out the words one by one: "To activate the array, one thousand green crystal energy is required."

"One thousand? That much!" Su Luo couldn't help but blink, rubbing her forehead speechlessly. "Isn't this just messing with people? Who would carry that many crystals with them?"

Nangong Liuyun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep and dark as a lake, nodding calmly. "Clearly, these rules were tailor-made for you."

Su Luo's face darkened.

She had to admit, Nangong Liuyun was absolutely right.

Aside from her, the lucky one who carried a space with her, others really couldn't produce that much crystal energy all at once.

Su Luo complained with a bit of heartache, "The exit fee is one thousand green crystals, truly a lion's mouth. You really don't know the cost of living until you manage a household."

However, the only thing that made Su Luo feel psychologically balanced was that the Crown Prince still owed her a large debt. After they got out, this exit fee must be transferred to the Crown Prince.

While grumbling, Su Luo reached into her space, but this action made her face change instantly.

Nangong Liuyun's deep, shimmering eyes fell upon her face. "What's wrong?"

Su Luo had a look like she was about to cry but couldn't. "My crystals! They're all… gone!"

"…" Nangong Liuyun remained calm. "What happened?"

Su Luo didn't answer him, but instead, she picked up the culprit with one hand and glared at it fiercely.

At this moment, the little divine dragon was curled up in a ball, its two little paws covering its face, only daring to peek at Su Luo through the gaps between its fingers.

Su Luo was so angry she almost wanted to spank its little bottom. "This dead child, secretly ate all the crystals as snacks. It's too hateful. This is truly a case of a thief in the house being hard to guard against."

She remembered that when they first entered the stone chamber, there were many crystals in the crystal purple fish's large bowl. At that time, besides green crystals, there were also cyan and blue crystals, but when Su Luo reached in just now, she found not a single one left.

The little divine dragon blinked its clear big eyes, looking at Su Luo innocently and bewilderedly. Its small appearance was so pitiful that Su Luo couldn't bring herself to do anything.

Su Luo was speechless, she could only glare at it accusingly. "You child, how could you eat them all as snacks? At least leave some for the road fee. Now we can't get out."

Rushing to an appointment, finally finding the door but being unable to get out, that kind of feeling was the most frustrating.

The little divine dragon looked at Su Luo silently, tilted its head and thought for a moment, and finally made up its mind. It took out a blue crystal from its pocket and reluctantly handed it to Su Luo.

Before, Su Luo had specifically asked Lvzhu to make a little dog outfit for it to wear, and even sewed a few pockets.

Seeing that blue crystal that had been bitten in half and still had teeth marks on it, Su Luo was about to explode.
