The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

Chapter 93: The Next Illusion

With a sword in his hand, he hissed, “Since both of you want to escape so desperately, I’ll send you to your death.”

Xia Muqing didn’t have any strength left. She propped herself up and said, “Run quickly and jump down into the well.”

The boy didn’t answer and simply carried her on his back as he ran forward.

However, he was too weak and his speed was too slow. The boy gritted his teeth and led her to the well. Old Master Wang was already behind them.

The sword in his hand stabbed right at them.

The boy flipped over in the nick of time and the sword stabbed into his heart.

Xia Muqing quickly caught him.

The boy glanced at her one last time and smiled the way he had when they first met. After everything they had been through, his eyes were still as clear as water.

Xia Muqing could only watch helplessly as he reached out and pushed her down the well.

Another wave of dizziness struck her. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a different place.

She quickly searched for a way back. She wanted to know what happened to the boy.

However, she found nothing. The scene here was very familiar.

Xia Muqing recalled carefully. This was… the place before she transmigrated to this world.

This cave was where she had transmigrated.

Walking along the long passage, she saw a person lying under a rock.

A man was wearing a gold-embroidered mask on his face. She recognized him as the man who had been following her since she entered the Sunset Mountains.

“Hey, wake up.”

Xia Muqing walked to him and patted him gently when she saw that he wasn’t injured.

The man frowned slightly before opening his eyes. His eyes glinted when he saw Xia Muqing, and he seemed to have yet to recover from their previous meeting.

Xia Muqing felt that his gaze was a little odd. “Who are you? Why are you following me?”

The man’s voice was hoarse. “Jin Chao.”

He didn’t say anything else and his expression was aloof.

Xia Muqing guessed that it should be his name. Although she felt that it was a little fishy, she didn’t insist on it since he had saved her a few times.

She said, “Let’s leave this place first.”

If this was really the place she had transmigrated to previously, it wasn’t appropriate to leave an ancient person here either. She could only bring him along.

The two of them walked towards the entrance of the cave, but like in the village, there was an invisible barrier blocking them from getting out.

Xia Muqing was a little disappointed. She thought she could meet her teachers and seniors.

Left with no choice, they could only walk back. They circled the cave once but couldn’t find any place to go.

Xia Muqing frowned. The last time she was in the village, she could find a well to exit from. It had to be the same here. She stared blankly at the stone wall subconsciously. The stone wall in front of her seemed to be… moving?

She opened her eyes and took a closer look. She realized that although the movement was slow, these murals were indeed moving.

As she approached, the murals on the stone walls changed faster and faster. Jin Chao had also noticed these murals. The two of them stared at these murals.

Perhaps this was the key to getting out of the cave.

The originally incomplete and blurry images on the stone wall became clear, as if it had just been carved. It could be seen that it was a story of a man and a woman. These two people’s dressing were very strange, and they were definitely not dressed from any of these two eras.

The woman was a young lady from a rich family, and the man was a general. They knew each other and fell in love. The man went out to war, but the king had forced himself on her against her will. She committed suicide after she was humiliated. When the man returned triumphantly, he saw the corpse of his wife hanging on the city wall displayed to the public for humiliation and evidence of her theft.

Everyone told him that it was the truth, but the man didn’t believe them. After he found out the truth, he killed the king to avenge his wife. In the end, he disappeared with her corpse and never appeared again.
