I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 252 - 248 Finding the Entrance to the Treasure

Chapter 252: Chapter 248 Finding the Entrance to the Treasure Chapter 252 -248 Finding the Entrance to the Treasure Looking at the bloodied Taotie in front of her, and the spotless Tom, Fang Xiaocao pursed her lips, feeling a pang of “some people are born under a lucky star, while others only gather dust.”

Both being top assassins, why was there such a striking contrast between fine and coarse grains?

“You and your body…”

Fang Xiaocao pointed at Taotie’s body, at the intestines hanging out, and hesitated.

“It’s nothing, my violence comes with the clothes!”

Taotie grinned and picked up his backpack from nearby, carrying it as he walked behind a nearby tree.

Not long after, Taotie, having changed his clothes, came out from behind the tree carrying his bag.

“I’ve changed my clothes, so what are we doing next?”

Taotie asked nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao looked towards Tom.

Tom smiled, “We can go down now; I’ve already found the entrance.”

Everyone was startled upon hearing Tom’s words.

“You found it?”

“How so quickly?”

Fang Xiaocao asked, puzzled.

“We have that big snake to thank for this!”

Tom said cheerfully.

“The snake made the entrance its nest.”

“There might be more snakes inside this treasure site; chances are, the whole treasury has been occupied by these snakes.”

Tom pointed to a dark soil hole under an old Gemini tree, explaining with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao was startled again.

A few people crowded together, peering into the pitch-black hole where the content inside was invisible. Fang Xiaocao felt somewhat uneasy, finding it somewhat terrifying.

“So we’re saying…”

“Do we really need to explore this treasure?”

Fang Xiaocao asked timidly.

As a woman, Fang Xiaocao naturally felt fear towards the unknown, especially the dark unknown.

“Princess Your Highness, are you scared?”

Taotie teasingly asked with a smirk.

Fang Xiaocao gave Taotie a cold look, indicating she didn’t want to deal with an idiot.

“Princess Your Highness, since we’re here after having faced so many dangers, wouldn’t it be a pity not to take a look inside?”

Taotie coaxed her with a grin.

“This…”

Fang Xiaocao hesitated.

You might say that Taotie, the straightforward fool, knew how to play Fang Xiaocao’s mind; a single sentence made her waver, wanting to delve into the hole to find out the truth.

“Princess Your Highness, let’s go in!”

“If there really is a treasure inside, and we dig it out, we will have enough funds to establish our own force and take down the Blacklist.”

“Don’t forget, although Capricorn is dead and Taotie is in the Blacklist as an inside man, handling the affairs of your assassination, you are still on the Blacklist’s hit list, and the murder of Gemini is pinned on you; the Blacklist will definitely not let you go. Now with Capricorn dead, if the Blacklist figures everything out, they are sure to launch an assassination against you and us.”

Tom also smiled as he analyzed the current situation between them and the Blacklist for Fang Xiaocao.

The enmity between Fang Xiaocao and the Blacklist had long been like fire and water, bound for a fierce battle eventually.

It would be either Fang Xiaocao’s demise or the Blacklist’s destruction.

It was just a matter of time.

Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao fell silent.

After a long while, she nodded her head.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

“Let’s go!”

Fang Xiaocao said resolutely.

Originally, Capricorn had died, and Han Xue had also been killed.

Fang Xiaocao thought to herself that with her two mortal enemies gone, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and return to being her wealthy, over-the-top self.

After Tom’s analysis, Fang Xiaocao had a sudden realization; her enemies were not just Capricorn and Han Xue, the two women.

The real life-or-death enemy was the Blacklist.

Now…

Perhaps the Goddess of Vengeance needed to be added too.

After all, Feng Yue had transmitted the video of Tom and Taotie ambushing the Goddess of Vengeance back to the headquarters of the Goddess of Vengeance. Although Fang Xiaocao hadn’t appeared, given the abilities of the Goddess of Vengeance, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to figure out the relationship between Tom and Fang Xiaocao.

The identity Tom had chosen was that of Fang Xiaocao’s butler—always to be by Fang Xiaocao’s side.

Any traces left unintentionally, even if Tom deliberately tried to erase them, were very hard to clean up completely.

“Hehe~”

“Been waiting for these words~”

“I’ll lead the way!”

Taotie said with a chuckle.

As he spoke, he started rubbing his hands together.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the cave.

Tom, standing next to him, smiled proudly.

Facing difficulties head-on — that was his Princess Your Highness!

The Princess Your Highness he remembered would never do something as foolish as retreat from a battle.

“Taotie, you lead. Hummingbird, cover the rear. The princess and I will take the middle, supporting the front and back,”

Since Fang Xiaocao had agreed to enter the cave, Tom didn’t waste any more time and immediately made the arrangements.

“Okay~”

With a happy chuckle, Taotie drew his Mountain Splitter Dagger and took the lead, leaping into the cave.

Seeing Taotie jump in, Fang Xiaocao wanted to follow but was stopped by Tom grabbing her.

“Princess Your Highness, don’t rush,”

“Let Taotie scout ahead first.”

“We don’t know how deep this cave is. It’s easy to get hurt if you rush in thoughtlessly,”

Tom said with a chuckle.

Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao blinked.

She looked at Tom somewhat surprised.

“Good grief!”

“Nice one, Tom — with your thick eyebrows and handsome face, you look dashing, yet when it comes to Taotie, you don’t hold back at all. Knowing the cave might be very deep and that someone could get hurt from a fall, you still let Taotie jump down like that?”

“Why not remind Taotie to bring a rope, aren’t you afraid Taotie might also get hurt?”

Fang Xiaocao internally ranted.

Tom smiled faintly, as if seeing through Fang Xiaocao’s thoughts, and said, “Princess Your Highness, don’t worry about Taotie. He’s tough-skinned and agile. As long as he’s prepared, even jumping from a three-story building wouldn’t kill him.”

Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao blinked.

She realized her thoughts had been read by Tom.

Tom smiled and took off his backpack.

He took out a climbing rope from the bag and casually tossed it to Hummingbird: “Find a spot to secure the rope for the princess.”

Hummingbird caught the rope and turned to look for a place to secure it, while Tom organized the backpack, pulling some small items from it and slipping them into his pockets. Curious, Fang Xiaocao watched as Tom pulled out mostly bombs from the bag.

“Safe!”

Minutes later, Taotie’s voice leisurely echoed from within the cave, clearly indicating the depth Tom had mentioned.

“How deep is it?”

Tom called down.

“About ten meters!”

Taotie answered.

Hearing Taotie’s answer, Fang Xiaocao grinned.

She silently felt relieved, “Good grief, ten meters deep. If I had jumped down unprepared, I could have gotten seriously hurt…”

Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s expression, Tom smiled slightly; he was a professional in this area.
