The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1687: Teacher Lou’s Wealth Surpasses All

The solid soul body slowly approached Shen Cang’s physical body, while Shen Cang, trapped in the illusionary realm, remained completely unaware.

He didn’t know that he was currently trapped in an illusionary realm, nor did he know that he had entered it by way of soul separation, while in reality his open eyes were resting against a tree, whose purpose was to devour this soul that had separated from his body!

He was even more unaware that the tree coveted his soul, while the millennium-old Hungry Ghost, released from its seal, coveted his body.

If he knew all this, it seems... he would still be at a loss.

...

Little Taotie was getting anxious, with no response from outside, it was clear they had already gone far, and the big rock was extremely heavy, feeling like a mountain wall pressing down.

"Where did Teacher find such a rock? It seems like it was meant to guard against me. It’s quite heavy."

"Can’t you push it open?" Hua Jinyan asked.

Little Taotie exerted all her strength and shouted a "Ha!"

Her hands pushed against the Stone Gate, and the usually effective great strength failed at this moment.

This seemed to be the first time Little Taotie, despite her strength, felt defeat and helplessness.

"What kind of stone is this?" Unwilling to give up, Little Taotie clenched her little fist and gave a fierce "Ha!" at it, her pretty face frowning as she fiercely glared at the stone door, hitting it with her fist.

The air seemed still.

After a long while, only the sound of Little Taotie taking a small gasp could be heard.

Hua Jinyan looked at the place where Little Taotie’s fist met the stone; the stone was intact, but Little Taotie’s fist... was red!

"Are you okay!" Hua Jinyan quickly pulled her hand over for a thorough check.

Luckily, it was just red, with no breaks in the skin.

But for Little Taotie, it wasn’t just a matter of her fist being red; it was more about an unprecedented sense of failure and blow.

Did her strength fail?

How is that possible?

The stone looked so ordinary, how could it be like refined iron?

Or perhaps, it was several times harder than refined iron, because even swords made of refined iron could be bent by Little Taotie, yet now all her strength in a mighty strike had not damaged the stone surface, and instead, her hand was hurt.

"What is going on?" Little Taotie moved closer to the stone, observing carefully.

But she couldn’t see anything unusual, just stone as stone.

Hua Jinyan took the flashlight from the desk, shining its light on the stone’s surface.

With this light, Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan couldn’t take their eyes away.

If the black rock was like the night, then when the light shone on the stone surface, it illuminated the stars in the night, with the flashlight being like the moon, and the stars shining brightly in its borrowed light.

"Is this... diamond?" Hua Jinyan spoke with uncertainty.

Little Taotie was shocked, her small mouth slightly open, her big eyes wide with misty pupils, filled with grievance and disbelief!

"Teacher actually went as far as using diamond for the stone door to guard against me!"

Hua Jinyan: "Seems like Teacher Lou has a bit of wealth."

Little Taotie gasped: "A bit? Must be a family with a diamond mine, right?"

Hua Jinyan mused: learned something, didn’t expect a diamond mine to have such a use, should go visit the family-owned diamond mine next time.

Little Taotie stared at the sparkling diamonds under the stones for a while, puzzled: "I see them, they seem like characters... Could it be what I think? Not only is the stone door made of diamonds, but it also hides a formation inside that saps most of my strength."
