CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 328: MO YINHE’S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL: YES OR NO? 1

Si Mingjing, after giving her answer, stood up to leave.

She didn’t hold out much hope for this answer.

But just as she had taken two steps, a sound suddenly came from behind her.

Si Mingjing turned around to look and saw the impregnable stone door slowly rising.

This is...?

Si Mingjing stood amazed and delighted. "I got it right?"

But how could the answer possibly be "baby"? Unless... Impossible!

Si Mingjing stepped through the stone door, and after taking a couple of steps, her slender legs suddenly came to a stop, struck by wonder!

Si Mingjing was dumbstruck for a full twenty seconds.

Staring at everything before her, she was flabbergasted.

She seriously wondered if what she had entered was really a tomb. Could that door she had just passed through be a portal through time?

She found herself as if amidst a sea of stars!

If the air-raid shelter she had seen before was as big as five football fields, then this tomb was definitely as big as ten football fields.

The ceiling of the tomb was a dazzling starry sky, with stars scattered here and there, some in dense clusters, some sparse, beautiful and enchanting, making it impossible to look away.

With her Clairvoyant Eyes, she could tell that those specks of light were not real stars in the night sky but were created by embedding special luminous gems into the ceiling of the tomb.

The effect was absolutely stunning. If she hadn’t had the Clairvoyant Eyes and had only used her naked eye, she would have truly believed she was underneath a starry sky.

Looking down at the ground, she saw pavilions, terraces, open halls, and small bridges over flowing water.

In the half-moon-shaped pond, greenery was abundant.

Si Mingjing walked onto the stone bridge and looked down. In the pond, the lush green plants were none other than the Dragon Algae she had been searching for, right?

Si Mingjing was overjoyed and crossed the bridge to the edge of the pond. She rolled up her sleeves, reached down to grab a big handful of Dragon Algae, and stuffed it into the plastic bag she carried with her.

She greedily filled an entire bag with Dragon Algae, but it still wasn’t enough. She also used a glass bottle similar to a fish tank and filled it with more.

She planned to take it back for research.

Maybe it could be cultivated on a large scale!

After all, this was the key ingredient for treating late-stage diabetes. If it could be mass-produced, it would be a blessing for all late-stage diabetics.

Its medicinal value could rival that of the Yellow Pine Bark Powder from Prison Star.

Having collected enough Dragon Algae and achieved her goal for this trip, Si Mingjing then felt in the mood to continue admiring this tomb, which was like a hidden paradise.

She marveled repeatedly.

Did that City Lord build himself a tomb, or did he construct an underground palace for himself?

Can you imagine? Passing through the front yard with its pavilions, terraces, open halls, and small bridges over flowing water, then moving up steps made of marble.

After climbing nearly thirty steps, she arrived at a vast platform, at least three or four hundred square meters in size.

The floor was paved with pure white marble.

Standing on it, one could see their own reflection and that of the starry sky, creating a beauty as if it were the Mirror of the Sky.

Standing on the vast platform, looking down at the pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water below presented yet another charm.

Looking up from the vast platform was a magnificent white palace, shining with dazzling brilliance.

That brilliance emanated from the Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls of the palace, soft as moonlight.

Si Mingjing watched for a while, as if her soul was captivated, unable to take her eyes off it. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of romantic sentiments the City Lord had to devise such a design.

Lady Duanmu said that the tomb could only be accessed by one person: the woman whom the City Lord deeply loved.

Lady Duanmu also said that hidden inside the tomb was the treasured inheritance the City Lord left for the woman he deeply loved.

Could it be that this stunningly beautiful underground palace is not the final resting place crafted by the City Lord for himself, but a home built for the woman he loves? But what virtues and abilities do I possess? How can I be the woman deeply loved by the City Lord? And the password to open the door, "Baby."

Si Mingjing had a bold guess in her mind.

She immediately called Mo Yinhe.

In the quiet world, a cellphone ring suddenly sounded.

Si Mingjing was startled, her soul nearly frightened out of her!

How could there be another cellphone ring in this undersea palace when I’m the only one here?

Si Mingjing instinctively looked around and shouted loudly, "Mo Yinhe, is that you?"

At that moment, the call connected, and Mo Yinhe’s deep laughter came from the phone. "Mingjing, how come you’re so clever?"

"You! Jerk! You played me! Where are you?"

Mo Yinhe did not appear.

From the phone, the sound of piano music streamed through.

Mo Yinhe said, "Don’t be angry. Let me play a song for you as an apology."

The romantic notes, the lively rhythm, the tender and moving melody—it all gave one the feeling of being in a dreamlike wonder.

The piano piece was very pleasant to listen to.

Si Mingjing lifted her head to the sound, looking into the distance with her Clairvoyant Eyes, and finally spotted Mo Yinhe on the terrace of the palace’s second floor.

There he was, sitting lazily in front of a piano, his slender, fair fingers dancing freely on the black and white keys. The piano tune that gently flowed out was like a lotus flower in a pond, delicate and blooming slowly, enchanting and moving.

Si Mingjing smiled and walked toward the palace.

She wanted to get some clarity. What was this man up to with all his mystery?

But just at that moment, the marble beneath her feet suddenly turned into an interactive display, revealing an animated image of peach blossoms blooming.

It was just one section of it.

How could I describe it? If the marble floor was like a complete, beautiful scene of the Peach Blossom Spring, then the blooming peach image I had just stepped on was merely a tiny piece of the puzzle.

Si Mingjing, being as clever as she was, understood at a glance and couldn’t help stepping on another square marble tile beside her.

Sure enough, the subsequent animated image perfectly joined up with the previous peach blossom scene.

What was going on?

Si Mingjing stepped on the tiles one by one. Curiosity got the better of her; she wanted to see the complete picture.

So, she leisurely walked on the tiles, adding to the scene with each step.

Mo Yinhe sat playing the piano on the high platform of the palace’s second floor, glancing down at Si Mingjing on the platform below. She was like a playful child, hopping across the marble, with peach blossoms blooming beneath her feet. The scene was too beautiful, and she was thoroughly enjoying it.

However, as that scene fell into Mo Yinhe’s eyes, his deep gaze softened, and a faint, intoxicated smile touched his lips. Those peach blossoms, however beautiful, could not compare to the playful girl reflected in his eyes.

Tenderness unexpectedly filled Mo Yinhe’s eyes, and he couldn’t help recalling his original purpose for building this underground palace...

At that time, my vision wasn’t as grand as it is now. Before I became the Crown Prince of Atlantis, I thought being a City Lord was quite an accomplishment! Back then, I just wanted to build a home for her in advance. A home where a girl would want to live, and could live comfortably. I thought that after I completed 100 tasks, if she was willing to be with me, we would live here. Now... well, I’ve lost interest. I’d rather live on Xingguang Island, with my family, in a place where the house faces the sea and the flowers bloom in spring. If it hadn’t been for Mingjing coming to Mengcheng in search of Dragon Algae, I would have almost forgotten about this property here. Even though I wouldn’t live here anymore, it... would still be a great place for a marriage proposal!
