CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 540 THE THOUGHT OF SLEEPING WITH ZUZI IN MY ARMS

Facing Bao Gucheng’s disdainful look, Gu Jingyan braced himself and said, "For the sake of archaeological research, I can endure a short stay with someone I dislike."

Bao Gucheng glanced at him coolly, "In that case, Mr. Gu, you need not trouble yourself. You don’t have to go in, just look at the construction drawings in the security room."

Gu Jingyan: "..."

Last night he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with that underground palace map constantly in his mind, it felt so familiar, so familiar.

Is it really just because he’s been to Fu Xi Palace and seen similar architectural styles?

Or is it because he is the reincarnation of Fu Xi’s soul, and the former owner of this underground palace was also him?

He must get to the bottom of it.

He had already reached the entrance, should he not go in just because he’s annoyed with Bao Gucheng?

Bit his lip, Gu Jingyan said sullenly, "The construction drawings are unclear. I want to go in."

Bao Gucheng: "Mr. Gu really has a child’s temper."

Gu Jingyan: "I am insisting on principles."

Bao Gucheng: "Isn’t that just being unreasonable?"

Seeing these two men, one proud and stubborn, the other cold and cool, Zuzi could not help but laugh and gently wrapped her jade arm around Bao Gucheng’s elbow, "Xiao Chenger, why argue with a child, let’s go together."

Bao Gucheng’s heart was tugged.

The tone Zuzi used made him feel as if they were Uncle and Aunt to Gu Jingyan, existing on the elder level.

Forget it, don’t argue with the juniors!

He waved to the soldiers responsible for sealing the entrance, and took big strides into the underground palace doors with Zuzi.

"Junior" Gu Jingyan’s face stiffened, and he lifted his steps to follow behind.

Hmph, what child, he is enduring with great difficulty!

Entering the door, a long jade spiral staircase with no end in sight led straight underground, overwhelmingly impressive!

The scene far surpassed what was drawn on the design, much more grand and imposing.

Those jade steps, who knows where such Beautiful Jade was collected from, even if they’re not ten thousand years old, they must be thousands of years old, exuding a chilling gleam from afar, naturally forming an otherworldly aura.

Bao Gucheng’s first thought: This place is not meant for people to live in.

This is clearly an underground fairyland.

As they toured down level by level, they saw a giant clam shell on the first level.

This clam shell felt especially familiar to him, and he had an urge to open it and lie inside with Zuzi to see if it was comfortable.

He swore he wasn’t the type of man who thinks about sleeping with women all the time!

But, this thought of going inside the clam shell and holding her to sleep, really came uninvited.

"Xiao Chenger, what are you thinking, why is your face so red, is it very hot?" Beside his ear, the little woman’s voice was clear and curious.

Bao Gucheng’s ears turned red, trying hard to keep a straight face, "Mm, a bit."

Zuzi blinked her big eyes, "Isn’t there something called air conditioning, why not turn it on?"

Bao Gucheng: "..."

Behind him, Gu Jingyan stepped up, saying sullenly, "If someone has improper thoughts, turning on the air conditioning won’t help."

Bao Gucheng threw him a cold look, and a chill ran through Gu Jingyan.

He shut his mouth and walked to one side to look at the murals.

Secretly making a gesture with his finger: Tsk, old male demon pretending to act out a ghost story, can another man not understand a man’s thoughts about women?

That clam shell does somewhat resemble... ahem, an unspeakable part.

The murals in the underground palace, viewed up close now, made Gu Jingyan more and more excited:

"This place is really constructed just like Fu Xi Palace, if I remember correctly, this underground palace started being designed and built a few years ago, while at that time Fu Xi Palace hadn’t been excavated yet, so the blueprints must have another source, meaning, Fu Xi Palace has been passed down in detail in history, even possibly with a descendant lineage, the history recorded on these murals is indeed factual historical material..."

In contrast to Gu Jingyan’s excitement, Zuzi furrowed her brows and glanced at the murals, her eyes turning somber—
