Chapter 159
Shermaine’s face was stein. “Harmless worms?”
Bianca coughed awkwardly again. “He deserved it. He must have touched the crystal coffin. These green worms are somewhat connected to the cr coffin. Anyone who has touched it will have problems.”
In other words, those who haven’t touched it won’t have any issues.
Shermaine finally took a bit of interest in the ancient tomb of the Cursed Queen. She was curious about how these green worms could determine who had touched the crystal coffin and then attack them.
Shermaine pondered for a moment.
Bianca’s mouth twitched. “Don’t tell me you are interested in the crystal coffin?”
“I want to take a look,” Shermaine said.
Bianca rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of relief. “It’s fine to look, but don’t get any ideas. That thing is not to be touched.”
Shermaine felt that she needed to see it for herself to decide whether it could be touched or not. She pulled a few cooling herbs, thinking that should be enough.
Too many cold herbs combined might cause unnecessary side effects on the body.
After pulling the herbs, Shermaine walked over to the charred corpse, squatted down, and took a look.
The burned body had a strange and unpleasant smell. She sniffed with her nose and detected that a part of the odd odor was the smell of sulfur.
Shermaine stood up. “Take me there.”
‘Shouldn’t you hurry back to cool down your boyfriend’s fire at this moment? Do you trust his self–control so much? Aren’t you afraid he’ll be too frustrated?‘ Bianca thought to herself.
In fact, Bianca didn’t think it was necessary to find herbs. It would be faster and more direct to just leave the ancient tomb of the Cursed Queen and go
back to have sex. It could also enhance their relationship.
Moreover, Bianca’s cursing skill could increase the chances of conception.
These two were so good–looking; the children they would have would probably be incredibly cute.
Bianca’s train of thought had derailed into absurdity. Seeing Shermaine heading toward the crystal coffin, she snapped back to reality and quickly followed.
The closer they got to the crystal coffin, the more people they saw lying beside it, their status unknown.
The crystal coffin was particularly beautiful, made of some unknown material that was transparent, allowing them to see a figure lying inside.
“Ah.” A scream rang out.
Shalene’s eyes had lost focus, and she was grinning maniacally, holding a knife and stabbing at someone, muttering, “Kill you.”
Shermaine recognized the person who had been stabbed twice. It took her a moment to remember that this girl was the one who had been badmouthing them since they were at the inn/Her name was Kathy, if she remembered right.
People with evil intentions would have their malevolence amplified once they got close to the crystal coffin. Bianca had refused to teach Shalene cursing skills because Shalene had ill intentions.
Shalene would use the skills she learned to commit trimes and harm others.
It was fine to seek wealth, but people with ill intentions were too easily tempted by money and could easily do things that were murally content.
Their profession had its rules: they couldn’t indiscriminately kill innocent people.
Kathy’s face was filled with terror. She was so scared that s
wet herself, crying and retreating backward.
Kathy had a bit of a petty mind. Joshua had just reprimanded her once, and she held a grudge, spreading rumors among her classmates that they wate not good people without any basis.
But after all, she was a human life, and Shermaine could still try to save her.
She couldn’t save the person who had been burned to death just now because she hadn’t reacted in time.
Shermaine picked up a stone and threw it at Shalene. Shalene turned her head and swung her knife over.
Shermaine, with an expressionless face, kicked her directly. Shalene flew backward, fell on the steps, hit her head, and was knocked unconscious.
When Kathy saw Shermaine, she wanted to say something, but didn’t‘ know what to say. However, she was bound to feel ashamed. After all, the so–called bad person in her mind had saved her life.
Shermaine, driven by curiosity, stepped onto the altar and walked toward the crystal coffin. As soon as she stepped on it, she felt a magnetic fluctuation that seemed to interfere with her brainwaves. However, after a while, the interference faded away.
It didn’t have any impact on Shermaine. Then she walked to the crystal coffin and saw a woman lying inside, the Cursed Queen, who had been extremely powerful in Mysonna a thousand years ago.
After a thousand years of death, all that would remain would be a pile white bones. However, this Cursed Queen was well–preserved, lying there as if she were a beautiful princess sleeping, not like a dead person at all.
Shermaine saw some very strange and incomprehensible symbols s on the coffin lid. After studying them, she found that they didn’t match any of the written languages that had appeared in world history.
Shermaine felt that the text on it seemed to float like water. She was about to reach out and touch the crystal coffin when Bianca came over and grabbed
her hand.
“I warned you not to touch it. Otherwise, if you lose your life here, I won’t be able to go back and explain to your boyfriend,” said Bianca.
Shermaine licked her lips. “Why not just touch it?” She had a hunch that she might be okay if she touched it.
“No way,” Bianca firmly refused.
After a stalemate, Shermaine gave up, feeling a bit regretful. ‘I don’t necessarily have to touch this crystal coffin. Since Bianca doesn’t allow it, I won’t go against her good intentions,‘ she thought.
Shermaine pulled her hand back. “I won’t touch it. Let me go.”
“You have to promise,” Bianca said.
Shermaine felt a bit helpless. “I promise.”
After getting the promise, Bianca let her go. The two of them came down from the altar together. Shermaine looked back.
On the other side, James was counting the time. Shermaine and Bianca had been gone for half an hour, and Joshua had almost drunk all the water they had brought. Because of the heat, Joshua had taken off his shirt.
At that moment, Joshua was doing one–finger push–ups, one after another. Sweat droplets were dripping from his jawline to the ground.
Chapter 159
When Shermaine came back, she mixed the herbs together, made a juice, and poured it into a mineral water bottle, the squatted in front of Jesus “Joshua, drink this.”
