Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

The next day, just after daybreak, Cheng Ji and his gold panning team set out. As an "expert" hired by the team at a high price, Hei Xia Zi naturally took on the important task of finding Haizi.

It would be great for Cheng Ji to have someone to lend a hand, so why not do it?

To be honest, Cheng Ji now kind of enjoys the feeling of being treated as a powerless woman by everyone. She doesn't need to consider anything, just need to be obedient and follow the main group.

Of course, this leisurely state naturally aroused the envy of some people.

Seeing the living map strolling leisurely in the back made Hei Xia Zi, an 'expert' who didn't have much experience and was sent here purely to gather information, feel a little itchy.

"Miss Cheng...what do you think?" Seeing Zhang Qiling just walking to the front of the team to explore the way, Hei Xia Zi approached Cheng Ji unnoticed and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Ji glanced at the big black rat that came over and pretended to be dumbfounded: "What are you talking about, Mr. Black? I don't know anything. I usually don't go out. How can I know how to get around in this desert?"

"There's a saying that goes, you have to trust women's intuition. You're the only woman in our team, so of course I have to ask for your opinion. With a beauty like this by my side, even if I can't find the way, I'll accept it." Hei Xiazi didn't give up after hearing what Cheng Ji said, and continued. He even emphasized the pronunciation of the word "women" when he spoke.

Hearing the slight threat in Hei Xia Zi's words, Cheng Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, put a finger to her lips and lightly hooked it, and reminded with a smile: "My husband is in front..."

Although Cheng Ji's words were ambiguous, he understood the gesture. This stinky fox was reminding him of the ten thousand dollars! The blind man was only handsome for three seconds. He immediately put away his smug expression and made a 360-degree turn: "The blind man just saw that Miss Cheng was a little tired, so he joked to make her happy."

The team leader had been watching the two people interacting back and forth, thinking there was something fishy going on, so he deliberately leaned over here unnoticed, hoping to get some useful information. However, who would have thought that it would be such an immoral and ridiculously cowardly conversation, and he instantly lost interest in eavesdropping. He returned to the front of the team, and when he passed by, he looked at Zhang Qiling with some pity.

Cheng Ji looked at the team leader who moved his bloated body back with some amusement and shook his head slightly. He originally thought that this team leader was just a temporary member, but it seems that he is not a simple character. Along the way, he kept testing them, but it didn't seem like testing them, it seemed more like testing the attitude of the Nine Gates through them.

Very strange.

Hei Xia Zi had already gotten used to wearing sunglasses, so he didn't take them off. In this operation, he was openly from the Nine Sects, so he didn't think about taking off the sign, which just happened to hide a lot of the expression behind his sunglasses.

"There are so many rats here." Hei Xia Zi took a half step forward, his black sunglasses covering the upper half of his face. The corners of his mouth that were exposed curled up in his usual smile, and he sighed in a low voice.

Cheng Ji tied the high ponytail tightly with his backhand. His expression did not change, and even his lips moved slightly. "I don't know how many nets have been set up in this place, waiting to be closed."

"So, can you show me the way? If we keep going in circles, the turtle that the blind man keeps at home will be dried up in the sun."

Hearing the home Hei Xiazi mentioned, Cheng Ji became interested. "Hei Ye is quite elegant, raising a turtle. By the way, I'm quite curious, are you living in Changsha now? I didn't expect that Hei Ye, who is so poor and frugal, has his own mansion at such a young age."

"I'm borrowing Master Jiu's unused suburban courtyard to stay in temporarily."

Cheng Ji was curious: "Rent?"

"We're just borrowing this house temporarily. Talking about money will hurt our feelings. Master Jiu is not such a vulgar person." Hei Xia Zi said this without any psychological burden, as if this house had belonged to him.

Cheng Ji was speechless.

The debt of love is inherited from ancestors, passed down from Master Jie Jiu to Master Hua.

No wonder Xiaohua in later generations was not surprised by Hei Xia Zi’s debts. It turned out that this was a habitual offender that had been passed down for three generations.

Hei Xia Zi looked at Cheng Ji who was laughing happily, confused. He thought carefully about which of his words just now had hit the funny spot of this person and made him laugh non-stop.

Cheng Ji laughed enough before he remembered the important matter that Hei Xia Zi had asked him to do. He casually said, "Actually, there is no problem with the direction we are heading in now. Although they say that they can find Gutongjing by finding the moving lake, that is only one of their ways to find Gutongjing."

Cheng Ji saw that Hei Xia Zi understood a little bit, and then continued to tease: "The real Gutongjing is deep in the desert. As long as we follow this direction, there will be no problem. With Hei Ye's sense of direction, this desert is no problem."

Black Blind Man: ...

Seeing that the fox was unreliable, Hei Xia Zi moved to the front of the team next to Zhang Qiling, with a formal smile on his face, and whispered: "Dumb, this road..."

Zhang Qiling said in a cold tone, "I don't know."

Hei Xia Zi was stunned by Zhang Qiling's words and didn't react: "Huh?"

Zhang Qiling turned his head and glanced at Hei Xia Zi, who was smiling in an inexplicably obscene manner, without saying anything else. He turned around and walked to the end of the team, returned to Cheng Ji's side, without even giving Hei Xia Zi a glance.

Black Blind Man: ...

He understood Zhang Qiling's last look, which told him to stay wherever he wanted.

It was also his fault that he forgot the Zhang family's extraordinary hearing. Everything he and Cheng Ji said just now was heard by Zhang Qiling. He had to thank these gold-digging teams. If they had not been there, he would probably have been buried in the ground today.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw some ancient buildings. The tops of a few underground palaces stood in the desert. Cheng Ji squinted his eyes and came out of Zhang Qiling's arms. Looking at the entrance of the underground palace that was getting closer and closer, he gently reminded them, "This is not the real ancient Tongjing."

Zhang Qiling nodded to indicate that he understood.

Hei Xia Zi also saw some clues from this. He turned his head to look in the direction of Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling and tilted his head imperceptibly. As expected, Cheng Ji shook his head to remind him. He understood it instantly, and the corners of his mouth raised the familiar arc again. He greeted: "It seems that this is Gutongjing. Leader, should we go down now or what?"
