After taking a few steps forward with his short legs, Long Jiaojiao suddenly realized that there was no sound coming from behind him, so he stopped and looked back.
Shen Qingyao remained standing still, seemingly having no intention of following him.
Long Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then swayed and turned back towards Shen Qingyao.
As she approached, she looked up at Shen Qingyao with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Mother, why don't you come in and take a look? Or... shall we turn back? Staying here any longer isn't a solution!"
After saying that, Long Jiaojiao couldn't help but open her mouth wide and yawn. Her originally excited little face now became somewhat listless, as if she found the situation in front of her very boring.
While rubbing her eyes with her little hands, Long Jiaojiao thought to herself:
I really don't understand you humans. Why are you always so indecisive? If you want to go in, just go in openly. If you don't want to go in, just leave decisively. Why hesitate and waste time here?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, a look of disdain on her face.
Shen Qingyao naturally took in Long Jiaojiao's series of expressions, and couldn't help but find it a little funny, but at the same time felt a little helpless.
She sighed softly, then turned to look at Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang beside her and asked:
"Senior Sister, Si Jingnian, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
As she spoke, Shen Qingyao's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, clearly hoping to get some useful advice from them.
Just then, Si Jingnian was about to open his mouth to express his opinion, but before he could utter a sound, he was interrupted by Long Jiaojiao's childish voice full of disdain.
All that could be heard was Long Jiaojiao's crisp voice:
"Hmph! What good ideas could those two possibly have? They're complete idiots, nowhere near as smart as you, Mother!"
His gaze instantly turned icy, and he turned to look at Long Jiaojiao without any politeness.
Long Jiaojiao keenly noticed Si Jingnian's unfriendly gaze, but she showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she playfully stuck out her pink tongue and made a funny face.
Immediately afterwards, as if she had suffered a great injustice, she turned around delicately and, like a light butterfly, rushed into Shen Qingyao's warm embrace.
"Mommy, this uncle is so scary! He's always so mean to me!"
Long Jiaojiao's big, round eyes immediately welled up with tears. She looked at Shen Qingyao pitifully, her little mouth slightly pouting, looking utterly adorable.
Seeing this little one's "green tea" behavior, Si Jingnian was so angry that he wanted to throw her away like trash.
But he also knew in his heart that he was no match for this black dragon. If he angered her, he might be swallowed up in the next second.
Shen Qingyao looked at Long Jiaojiao, who was pretending to be pitiful in her arms, and was speechless.
Who would have thought that such a massive black dragon could be so childish and coquettish? And that it would come to him so pitifully to complain?
"Alright, Si Jingnian, Jiaojiao is still young and doesn't know any better, so don't hold it against her."
Shen Qingyao sighed helplessly, gently patting Long Jiaojiao's back to comfort him, while turning to Si Jingnian and speaking.
She knew in her heart that she was now the peacemaker caught between the man and the dragon, and she had to find a way to make them coexist peacefully no matter what.
Si Jingnian naturally knew that Shen Qingyao's words were actually giving him a way out, and his anger instantly dissipated by more than half.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened considerably.
After all, Shen Qingyao was still on his side; he was just saying those words to appease the tyrannical dragon.
At this moment, Shen Qingyao could only continue to act as a lubricant between them, trying her best to maintain this fragile balance.
"Mommy, are you going in or not? If not, let's leave and find an exit. It's so boring here."
The adorable and lively dragon was shaking Shen Qingyao's slender arm, and her big, watery eyes sparkled with a strong longing for the outside world, as if countless wonderful and alluring things were waiting for her to explore and discover.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but smile slightly, and gently rubbed Long Jiaojiao's little head to comfort her.
Long Jiaojiao felt the gentle comfort from Shen Qingyao and calmed down a little, but the longing in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
After calming Long Jiaojiao down, Shen Qingyao slowly shifted her gaze to Si Jingnian and Ruan Hongshuang.
At this moment, her face was full of questions, as if she was expecting to get a definite answer or advice from them.
At this moment, Ruan Hongshuang's clear and melodious voice rang out:
"Since we've been searching everywhere and haven't found a way out, instead of wandering around aimlessly, why not be bold and go inside and take a look? Maybe we'll find something new!"
After hearing Ruan Hongshuang's words, Shen Qingyao nodded slightly in agreement, and Si Jingnian, who was standing next to her, also nodded in approval of the suggestion.
That's absolutely true. Since we can't find any trace of an exit around here, we might as well bravely step into this unknown land and perhaps find a way out!
Immediately afterwards, Si Jingnian turned to look at Secretary Chen, who was standing not far away, and asked in a slightly serious tone:
"Secretary Chen, do you plan to stay here and wait, or would you like to come in with us to explore?"
When he said this, Si Jingnian's tone was noticeably colder than when he had not yet entered this mysterious ancient tomb.
However, at this moment, Secretary Chen was preoccupied with how to escape from this place, and had no time to care about the subtle changes in Si Jingnian's attitude.
Faced with the question raised by Si Jingnian, Secretary Chen nodded vigorously and answered without any hesitation:
"I'll go in with you!"
He wasn't stupid; he knew very well that only by closely following Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang could he have a greater chance of finding a way to escape his predicament.
Si Jingnian remained silent, only exchanging a glance with Shen Qingyao. Then, the three of them stepped into the mysterious stone door without hesitation.
Seeing this, Long Jiaojiao hurriedly stumbled and swayed as he followed closely behind.
Her adorable little face was full of curiosity and excitement about the unknown world, as if she was about to embark on an incredibly thrilling adventure.
Secretary Chen stood there, watching their figures gradually disappear into the distance. After pondering for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and resolutely chased after them.
The others stood still, looking at each other, seemingly hesitant.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stone door, wondering whether they should go in with them, but at the same time, they were bound by the fear deep in their hearts.
After all, everyone knows that this seemingly bright passageway probably hides countless unpredictable dangers, perhaps even dozens of times more dangerous than the outside.
