C4 Treasure hunt

"Not yet, but soon. We finished her osmanthus cake, so I think she will be here soon."

Murong Zi Mo counted with his fingers, then said in confusion, "What's the relationship between eating the osmanthus cake and being unable to return to the room with Lawless' daughter?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Anyway, this is a very complicated logical problem. You just have to put in effort and wait patiently."

Murong Zi Mo replied with an 'oh' and said no more. As expected, not long after, a very fat woman came back to the room. She sat on the stool and then drank a cup of tea on the table, suddenly seeing that the food on the plate was gone, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Who stole my pastries, hurry up and get out of here."

The woman's orchid roar was so loud that Murong Zi Mo trembled under the table and almost rolled out from the bottom. Murong Yi pulled him back, so he didn't reveal anything.

Not long later, a maid ran in nervously and said something to her. The orchid then quieted down and said in a bad mood, "Then you can go. If my dad brings any other strange people to my place, tell them I'm not in my room, did you hear me?"

The maid said, "Oh, miss, I understand." With that, he left the room.

Only Orchid was left in the room sulking. Murong Yi felt that the opportunity had come, so he crawled out from under the table, scaring the orchid out of its wits.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my room?"

Murong Yi said, "Haha, I'm a bandit. If you know what's good for you, then tell me where Lawless' treasury is. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the water."

Orchid's eyes widened as soon as he heard that, and he said without any trace of politeness, "How dare you! You actually know that I'm Lawless' daughter, and yet you still dare to come here and behave atrociously. If you dare even touch a single hair on my head, I'll tell my dad to chop off your hands."

Murong Yi snorted and said, "I believe what you say, but the situation is very bad for you. We won't do anything to you, but if you don't deserve to be with me, then you will definitely die before me."

Orchid turned her head to the side and stopped talking.

Murong Zi Mo was a little scared. He tugged Murong Yi's sleeve and said, "If we do this, won't it cause a lot of trouble?"

"It's fine, go watch at the door. Leave the rest to me." Murong Yi said.

Murong Yi then said to Orchid: "How about it, compared to one or two worthless weapons, your life is more important." As long as you give me what I want, I'll let you go as soon as I get it. "

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Orchid.

"If you refuse to cooperate like this, it will do you no good at all." "There's a limit to my patience. I'll give you five seconds to count. If you don't take me there, you'll have to struggle in the sea." Murong Yi coldly said.

Lawless' treasure was nothing more than a pile of scrap metal to Orchid. She didn't care about useless things, so when her life was threatened, she chose to compromise with this outsider. She sighed and said, "Alright then. I'll take you to the treasury, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it? Just tell me." Murong Yi asked.

"After you take what you want, quickly leave this place. Furthermore, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone. I am the one who brought you to the armory." The orchid said slowly.

"Of course, I'm not a fool. As long as I have what I want, I will naturally not tell anyone about what happened today." Murong Yi replied with a smile.

"You're still a smart person, I hope your mouth can be as smart as you say it is. "Come with me. Bring your subordinate along, don't let him stay here and attract others' attention." The orchid said.

Then the three of them went to the treasure chest on the ship.

The overlord of the sea, Lawless, was not as grand and magnificent as Murong Yi had imagined. After all, he was a pirate, so his way of doing things was just as crude as the bandits.

The treasure trove was actually a hidden room on the bottom deck of the ship. If he lifted up the wooden board, he would be able to walk down the wooden stairs.

This underground chamber was quite spacious. At first glance, it looked like it was as big as two normal rooms, but the light inside wasn't too good. When he first went down, he couldn't see too many things.

Murong Yi looked left and right, but aside from some random storage items, he didn't see anything else related to weapons. Angry and suspicious, he stopped and asked Orchid, "Are you sure this is your father's treasure trove?"

"Of course, I'm his daughter. What don't you know? Go a little further and you will soon see those sparkling things." The orchid said.

Murong Yi wasn't the only one who felt that this was strange. Even Murong Zi Mo's heart was filled with fear as he muttered, "Brother Yi, why don't we go back? I feel that this place is really strange. The environment here is as humid as a dungeon. Who would hide a treasure in this kind of damned place?"

Murong Yi said, "Let's wait first. Anyway, that woman has already fallen into our hands. Even if I don't, she won't dare to play any tricks on me."

"Okay, bro, I'll listen to you. "I'll do it if you say so." Murong Zi said bravely.

Thus, they continued to walk for the time it takes to drink another cup of tea. Without realizing it, Orchid's figure disappeared into the dim basement, never to be found again.

Murong Yi realized that he had been tricked. He turned around and walked back. With a loud 'kacha' sound, an iron cage fell from above, trapping all of them inside. Following the descent of the iron cage, the room lit up with a ball of fire. Orchid stood next to the brazier, his face still twitching. She said indignantly, "You two mice, don't forget whose territory this is. You actually dare to touch the earth at the age of three. You are tired of living."

After Murong Yi realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap, he didn't shout like a madman. Instead, he smiled lightly. He said, "It seems that this woman is sometimes more ruthless than men. I thought you would really bring us here to look for lawless' treasures, but I didn't think that other than this plan of yours, I've made a miscalculation. "

"Haha, now do you know how powerful I am? This is the result of provoking me. Hmph, after I finish watching today's competition, I'll come back here and slowly take care of you two little fellows. " Orchids walked around the steel cage, sizing up Murong Yi as they spoke.

Murong Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's up to you. Since I've fallen into your hands, then consider it my bad luck." However, there is something that I must remind you of. No matter how well you have hidden it, I will still be able to find the thing that I have been looking for. "

"You're talking about my father's treasure? "Bullshit, you can't even protect yourself now, how dare you boast like that in front of me. You'd better think about what to say when I come back and you kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness." Orchid said arrogantly.

"How laughable, this kind of thing would never happen to me, although I was preparing to steal something from your house. Oh, it doesn't matter if you call me a thief or call me a bastard. But if you want to torture me, that's not up to you. " Murong Yi slowly said.

"Yo, yo, there really is you. Even at this time, you can still say such shameless words. It seems like you really aren't a simple thief." Take off your mask. I'd like to see what you look like. " Orchid snapped. From where she stood, she couldn't reach inside the cage, so she had to open the cage if she wanted to take off Murong Yi's mask. However, she was afraid that if she opened the cage, the two of them would run away, so she didn't dare open the cage.

Murong Yi was very clear of his current situation. Even if he was imprisoned in this dark underground chamber, this orchid wouldn't dare to do anything to him, because if she punished them severely, it would definitely alarm the rest of the people on the ship. If that happened, the lawless treasury would become the target of more people's attentions, and they would naturally lead wolves into the room.

Murong Yi said, "A cage like yours can't trap me, and so can your ship. I, Murong Yi, can come and go as I please. When I want to go out, I will naturally go out. Right now, I feel that this place is pretty good.

"You're Murong Yi?" The orchid cried out in surprise.

"Why, Miss Orchid, do you know my big brother?" Murong Zi Mo, who was standing at the side in a daze, asked.

A relaxed smile appeared on Orchid's nervous face as he said, "Of course I remember. I had a very deep impression of him that day. It's a pity that he did not kill that Moon woman on the spot.

"Killed people? I can't do it. The people of Blood Wheel Sea are all pirates. They want to kill people at any moment, but I, Murong Yi, am a righteous person. We are not the same kind of people. " Murong Yi said confidently.

"Haha, don't make yourself sound so noble. If you were a proper person, how would you steal my family's treasure? In fact, you and I are both a small fry on the same hill, and neither of us is much better than the other. Actually, as the young master of the Mu Rong family, if you want something from me, I will give it to you. "But you actually pretended to be a thief and kidnapped me. This kind of behavior is unbearable to me, so even though you're Murong Yi, I will still discipline you and teach you a lesson." The orchid said.

Murong Yi said in surprise, "Oh, I really didn't think of that. "If your Miss Orchid was really as generous as you say, of course I wouldn't risk kidnapping you."

"In that case, I would like to ask, what exactly is the thing that you, Sir Murong, are worried about?" the orchid asked.

"I let my Brother Yi steal your things. I, Murong Zi Mo, am the one who should take responsibility for this. It has nothing to do with my Brother Yi." Murong Zi Mo stood out and took all the blame.

Who knew that not only did the orchid not look up to Murong Zi Mo's methods, but it also especially hated him. She said, "Get out of my way! I'm talking to Murong Yi, what does it have to do with you?"

Mu Rong Zi Mo took a step back obediently and didn't speak again.

Murong Yi said, "I've heard that Lawless has plundered countless treasures in this world, so I just want to see what kind of things he has. I don't have any intentions of stealing your family's treasures." "Since you've already caught me, if you want to blame me for it, then of course I won't be able to argue back."

Orchid said, "Don't worry, I won't reveal this to the public. That will only attract those shameless people on the ship." Your little life is in the hands of my orchid. If I want you to give birth, you can't die. If I want you to die, you can't give birth. Oh, I suddenly remembered that I also promised Second Mother that I would accompany the guests to look at some clothes. When I return, I will come back and teach you two a lesson. " With that, the orchid crawled out of the basement and locked the wooden entrance. The room was silent again.
