Chapter 292 -288 Fang Xiaocao Makes a Fool of Herself Again
Tom and Hummingbird are both foreigners.
They had no idea what sticky rice dumplings in Taotie’s mouth referred to and naturally weren’t afraid.
But Fang Xiaocao wasn’t a foreigner!
She knew what sticky rice dumplings were.
So it was inevitable for her to feel scared.
“Princess Your Highness, what are sticky rice dumplings?”
“Are they tasty?”
Tom asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s expression froze.
Tasty or not…
Fang Xiaocao had never actually tried them.
However, this was a question that Tom, the foreigner, shouldn’t be asking her! In Egypt, the mummies were almost eaten up by these foreigners. Mummies and sticky rice dumplings were basically similar, except mummies were flavored with spices, while sticky rice dumplings were usually plain. Whether they were tasty or not, Tom should know better than she did.
Fang Xiaocao was at a loss, not knowing how to answer Tom’s question. She couldn’t exactly tell Tom to buy a plane ticket and go back home to ask his second great-uncle or his maternal great-uncle, could she?
“Not tasty, they’ve grown hair.”
Taotie waved his hand and said with a laugh.
Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes widened, and she silently stepped back a few paces, keeping her distance from Taotie, the iron blockhead.
“Oh my gosh!”
“Taotie is really hungry.”
“He dares to eat anything!”
Fang Xiaocao exclaimed to herself in shock.
Tom scratched his head, indicating he didn’t understand.
But he still respected Taotie’s special preferences.
“Taotie…”
“These things won’t really crawl out, will they?”
Fang Xiaocao pointed at the eighteen Stone Coffins and asked.
Taotie chuckled, “They shouldn’t.”
“They’ve been dead for hundreds of years, probably have decomposed into bone remains, not to mention crawling.”
Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao finally understood. Taotie, the iron blockhead, had just been trying to scare her. Realizing this, Fang Xiaocao glared fiercely at Taotie and silently noted down this misdeed in her little notebook, planning to settle the score with him later in the fall.
Taotie was still unaware that he had been marked down by his dear Princess Your Highness. If he knew, he probably wouldn’t be able to laugh anymore and would have found a corner to sulk and cry in silence.
“Should we continue on our way now?”
Tom asked in a low voice.
Although he was used to killing people, the presence of eighteen Stone Coffins and over a hundred clay-encased corpses made Tom feel uncomfortable, and he wanted to leave the place sooner.
Fang Xiaocao also looked towards Taotie, “I’m asking you!”
She didn’t want to ask Taotie either.
But who else understood the matters inside the tomb better than Taotie?
“Let’s go!”
“There’s nothing valuable here.”
“Now that the trusted aide’s burial pit has appeared, the main burial chamber isn’t far. If no one has raided this General’s Tomb, then the real treasures are all in the main burial chamber.”
Taotie said cheerfully.
Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.
Treasures!
With the scale of this General’s Tomb, wouldn’t the burial objects of the tomb’s owner be all priceless antiques?
If they got the burial objects of the tomb’s owner, they wouldn’t have to care about the treasure indicated on the treasure map.
Fang Xiaocao’s mind was working fervently.
Her mental abacus beads were almost popping onto the face of the tomb’s owner.
“Let’s set off!”
“Taotie, you lead the way!”
Fang Xiaocao made a decision on the spot and asked Taotie to take the lead.
Taotie shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
After scanning the ring of trusted aide burial pits, Taotie chose a path, leaped down from the platform, and headed toward the corridor formed between the figures of Taoyong.
Seeing Taotie’s actions, Tom followed suit.
With a light leap, he jumped down from the platform.
But when it was Fang Xiaocao’s turn, she faced difficulty.
The platform was a good three or four meters high.
In an open space, Xiaocao claimed she wouldn’t care, for such a height—even two meters more—she dared to jump, at most rolling a few times to break her fall.
However, located beneath the platform were those armored Taoyong, each sharp spear inclined toward the direction of the platform, sending out a silent yet deafening threat to Xiaocao: “Jump, I dare you to jump, if you do, the spear will skewer you.”

Receiving the silent threats from the terracotta warriors, Xiaocao’s courage quivered. Standing at the edge of the platform, trembling, she hesitated for a long time, and eventually she didn’t dare to jump.
Fearing she might jump askew and fall freely onto a spear, skewering herself in the process.
Noticing Xiaocao’s fear, Hummingbird chuckled, patted Xiaocao’s shoulder, and said, “Princess Your Highness, don’t be afraid, I’ll jump with you.”
Xiaocao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
“Woohoo~”
“Having a bodyguard and maid is so great!”
“Thoughtful, swoon~”
Xiaocao cheerfully shouted in her heart.
A joyful smile spread across her face.
Hummingbird smiled faintly, moving closer to Xiaocao.
She leaned slightly and actually scooped Xiaocao up in a princess carry, and Xiaocao instinctively clung to Hummingbird’s fair neck, the warm breath of Hummingbird making Xiaocao blush subconsciously.
“Oh my~”
“So bashful~”
Xiaocao muttered to herself internally.
Hummingbird, on the other hand, felt nothing special.
It was just holding a pretty girl.
She had held handsome guys before, after all.
Hummingbird, holding Xiaocao, leaped mightily.
Even with the weight of both of them pressing on her, Hummingbird was still incredibly light-footed, landing almost silently without making a sound.
It was evident how skilled Hummingbird was at Light Body Skill.
Hummingbird set Xiaocao down on the ground.
“Thank you~”
Xiaocao said, blushing.
At the same time, she doubted herself secretly.
“Have I fallen for her?”
“Why is it that I feel repulsed when Taotie carries me,”
“and take it for granted when Tom does,”
“but I blush with Hummingbird?”
Her heart fluttering, she felt a bit nervous.
“Princess Your Highness, let’s go,”
“If we don’t chase after them now, they’ll get away,” Hummingbird whispered into Xiaocao’s ear, with a smile.
The hot breath from Hummingbird on Xiaocao’s ear made her face redden further.
“Alright…”
“Let’s go…”
Xiaocao nodded hurriedly and agreed.
As she began walking, she didn’t expect to feel a pain in her head, as if she had hit something. Xiaocao cried out in pain, clutching her little head and squatting down. Looking up at what she had hit, she realized it was a Taoyong.
Seeing Xiaocao’s clumsy actions, Hummingbird smiled, walked over, and helped her up: “Princess Your Highness, are you alright?”
Xiaocao rubbed her forehead and shook her head: “I’m fine, just a bit of pain~”
Xiaocao looked at the Taoyong that had hurt her and her little face puckered like a steamed bun. She kicked the leg of the Taoyong fiercely and said indignantly, “Hmph, that’s for bumping into me, I’ll kick you to death!”
After kicking the Taoyong several times, Xiaocao finally continued with Hummingbird down the path, chasing after Taotie and Tom. She didn’t notice that the leg of the Taoyong she kicked had unexpectedly begun to crack…
