Lin Xiaofei glared at Shen Mo. She didn't know if he was alright in the head or not.

"… I'm not going to sell you." Lin Xiaofei said after a while of silence.

Shen Mo released a sigh of relief but he tensed up once again when he heard her speaking.

"Even if I do, I won't get much from selling you." As she said this, she turned around and walked forward without looking behind her.

Even if she sold Shen Mo somewhere, no one would be willing enough to buy him at a higher price. Despite being an expert in martial arts, there was nothing else that he could do.

But if she were to appraise his looks, Lin Xiaofei thought that Shen Mo should worth a lot if she sends him to a brothel where men served the guests..

Thankfully, Lin Xiaofei didn't mention this to Shen Mo as he would probably faint from humiliation.

Still, her words were engraved deep inside of him and didn't know whether he should be laughing or crying.

The two of the walked quite far. Although the light from the other end of the tunnel was slightly bright, it still didn't give much room for light and it was getting harder for them to stay relaxed. No one knows whether something would suddenly come out and attack them.

Thus, Shen Mo could only let go of his emotions and stay vigilant.

As minutes passed by, they gradually reached the end of the tunnel and revealed such a vast waste land before them.

The ground was almost black as if it was dipped with ink. Cracks were crawling everywhere making it impossible for crops to grow. The trees were also dying out and any signs of a flower or plant that would bloom in spring was not found.

At first, Shen Mo already thought that the unmarked land was a vast waste land. But compared to what was before him, it seems that his image of this land was much better than what was in front of him right now.

"Young miss, how did you find this place?" Shen Mo asked curiously. As one of the people who directly served the Lin family, he knew how exactly Lin Xiaofei was, and how arrogant and spoiled she was.

However, when they started to walk forward until they stepped on this black ground, her expression didn't even change as if everything was normal to her.

"Ah, I simply found it." Lin Xiaofei casually said, not caring whether he believed her lies or not.

Hearing her say this, Shen Mk no longer asked her anything since it was pretty obvious that she won't tell him the truth.

In any case, Shen Mo should do whatever he could do so that his young miss wouldn't be dissatisfied with him and make true of her word to sell him.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Although, the unmarked land could barely get any light from the sun but that didn't mean that there was no chance that it would grace its light on it.

And once it did, things that weren't possible were laid bare before their eyes.

The little sunlight they got immediately created a change of what was surrounding them.

A gasp could even be heard coming out from Shen Mo's mouth as his eyes widened at the glowing golden sparks below. It was everywhere and twinkled like stars.

"Y-y-young miss! What is this?! What is going on?" Shen Mo exclaimed as he looked down his feet and on the ground.

He tried hopping around to avoid the golden sparks underneath him as if it would hurt him. However, nothing bad happened to him as the golden sparks stayed where they were.

Unfazed by the scene before her, Lin Xiaofei said, "Don't worry, they won't hurt you. In fact, they're my funds."

Funds?! This was the second time that Shen Mo wanted to hit his head for not understanding what she meant.

Bending her knees to touch the ground, Lin Xiaofei ignored Shen Mo's alarmed scream to stop her. She simply grabbed a handful of the sand with her hand and let it sprinkle down with the wind.

The tiny sand flew to the ground and everywhere, and as if there was thousands fireflies surrounding them, the golden light were blinding.

"Do you wonder why the Unmarked Land was avoided for countless of decades? Why a rumor so vicious was heard about this land? And why even the first monarch forbids everyone to enter and use this land?" Lin Xiaofei's soft voice sounded so pleasant that Shen Mo couldn't stop listening to her.

She continued, "It was because of this." She opened her palms wide, gesturing at anything and everything around them. "The Unmarked land is the land of greed. For fear that anyone who found this place would do anything to own this land and the fear that war would broke out because of this, the first monarch made a royal command and also created the rumor."

The first monarch that Lin Xiaofei was talking about was not the first emperor of the Zheng empire, but the first monarch that ruled the entire four kingdoms.

At the time when Lin Xiaofei went to this place after Yu Fangzhu's mother died, she was so shocked at the realization she got from staying here for a few days. It was raining the first few days and the sky were unnaturally darker than today. But when the sky cleared up and a slight sunlight graced this land, the gold appeared before her eyes.

And that was when Lin Xiaofei also realized the reason behind Yu Fangzhu's mother's obsession towards this land. But because that concubine was a member of the royal family, she couldn't do anything and even her son was a prince while the emperor was her husband. Thus, she couldn't do anything but secretly look for answers.

Unfortunately, by the time she found the answer to the mystery of the unmarked land, Lin Xiaofei was a step ahead of her and killed her.

And this time, Lin Xiaofei will use what Yu Fangzhu's mother taught her and use this land of gold and greed to her own use.
