Transmigrated into a Waste Who Married the Villain.

Chapter 25: Illusion ✨✨✨

Qu WeiYin was surprised but complied. Luo JinXiao waved her hand, and the narrow cave entrance was soon covered in frost, layered with ice until it was sealed tightly. Despite the fire outside burning fiercely and the walls trembling, the cave remained cool. Only the bodies pressed close together were warm.

They were in such close proximity that Luo JinXiao was practically holding Qu WeiYin, her slender waist tightly embraced. The fragrance of one of them lingered in the air, impossible to distinguish whose it was.

Qu WeiYin, now quiet, became acutely aware of her wildly beating heart. Luo JinXiao, being slightly taller, had to slightly tilt her head to see the wall on the opposite side through Luo JinXiao's shoulder.

Time seemed to stop, and after an indeterminate period, the commotion outside faded. Through the ice-sealed entrance, they could barely make out the massive head of the Zhulong as it retreated.

Both sighed in relief. Qu WeiYin attempted to push Luo JinXiao away but found the cave too narrow; they were already at the maximum distance apart.

"Why did you come back? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Qu WeiYin looked up, her eyes filled with anger.

"It's a long story. The path I found had many branches. I thought I might find a way to meet up with you, so I tried a few," Luo JinXiao explained, feeling awkward as her hand was still around Qu WeiYin's waist. She coughed and quickly stood straight.

Qu WeiYin, still seething, replied coldly, "Can you still go back then?"

Luo JinXiao nodded, smiling, "I left marks. Although this cave is narrow, it's interconnected, like it was dug out by someone. Could the Divine Tomb have been built by humans?"

Qu WeiYin pushed her aside, "Do you know why the God Clan was exterminated and why the Upper Heaven Realm became ruins?"

She slipped away, distancing herself from Luo JinXiao, "The God Clan fell due to internal strife and mutual slaughter. The Divine Tomb was not built by gods, but by humans."

"Just like not all cultivators are good, neither are all gods," Qu WeiYin said indifferently.

Before Luo JinXiao could respond, they heard a commotion outside again. Fearing the Zhulong had returned, she reached for Qu WeiYin, only to have her hand slapped away.

"Little Martial Aunt..." Luo JinXiao mumbled, rubbing her hand.

"Don't move. There are people outside," Qu WeiYin frowned, looking towards the ice-sealed entrance. "Are there others who have entered?"

Luo JinXiao heard footsteps and took a few steps forward, tapping the ice to create a fist-sized hole. Through it, she locked eyes with Yan Ying.

"Idiot, your idiot sister is here," Yan Ying rolled her eyes.

Before Luo JinXiao could process what was happening, Luo Ning rushed over, eagerly asking through the ice, "Sister, I finally found you! Are you hurt?"

"No," Luo JinXiao shook her head, melting the ice door with a wave. Luo Ning crawled in and hugged her tightly.

"Sister, after I came down, I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought something happened to you. Thank goodness," Luo Ning said, her face dark but her eyes and teeth shining brightly.
