Chapter 940: Chapter 233: Another Small Iron Plate [Ten Thousand Words!]
Yan Beihan sighed repeatedly.
Yet, surprisingly, she didn’t complain at all.
She bowed her head and got to work.
"This girl is definitely a hands-on person."
Actually, Fang Che hadn’t anticipated that Yan Beihan would really help with the labor, especially since she was just going by an unreliable ’gut feeling’ and working up a sweat.
But Yan Beihan did exactly that.
Together, the two continued working.
They kept at it the entire day.
Without any discovery at all, yet Yan Beihan didn’t utter a single complaint.
They called it a day by evening.
Calculating the depth.
They unearthed a depth of one hundred and twenty zhàng in one day. It’s a massive workload!
When Fang Che straightened his body, he could hear his spine cracking.
Yan Beihan did the same, straightening her body and stretching her waist, crackling all the same.
Yet she was all smiles, saying: "We’ll continue tomorrow!"
"Alright."
Fang Che couldn’t help but smile.
Yan Beihan said: "The soil we’ve dug to is really hard now, not rocks anymore, feels much easier."
Fang Che said: "You’ve worked hard."
Upon hearing this, Yan Beihan blinked her bright eyes and laughed heartily: "It’s no problem."
Smiling, she said: "Though it’s a temporary collaboration, you’ve looked after me quite a bit. From the Yin Yang Realm’s perspective, regardless of who you are, I’m indebted to you."
"This feeling of indebtedness has nothing to do with status."
"You’ve shouldered everything in the Yin Yang Realm. I can’t compare to you, so I won’t say anything. Only this kind of labor makes me feel I’m not completely useless. I’m happy inside. So whether we find something or not, I’m happy to help you."
While speaking, Yan Beihan couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "Can you believe it, as the Eldest Lady of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, I need to do laborious work to prove my worth... Isn’t that a bit too pathetic?"
"No."
Fang Che also laughed, but his tone was very serious.
He looked at Yan Beihan with appreciative eyes, saying: "I’ve realized today, Eldest Lady Yan’s successes are not just because of her background or family."
He said seriously: "You are intimidating but also adorable!"
Yan Beihan’s face turned red.
She suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up.
Her face began to burn.
Feeling a bit panicked.
To cover it up, she angrily lashed out: "What nonsense are you talking about, intimidating and adorable, you... you want a beating?"
With that, she glared and clenched her fist, posing like a fearsome demon: "You know how capable I am!"
"No, I dare not."
Fang Che laughed heartily: "Today’s work is done. We’ll return in the morning."
Finding a place to rest nearby, Fang Che went straight into the tent and fell fast asleep.
Yan Beihan, however, was restless. She hugged the Little White Tiger, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to sleep.
Her mind was chaotic, unaware of her thoughts. It wasn’t until the second half of the night that she finally drifted off.
Early morning.
Before dawn.
Yan Beihan, still not having slept well, jumped up with energy.
"Let’s go, dig!"
Fang Che was surprised: "So eager?"
"Digging is joyful, it feels rewarding."
Yan Beihan said: "Seeing it get deeper and deeper is also rewarding. I feel like my hard work isn’t wasted, it’s an enjoyment in some respects."
"Alright then."
Fang Che said: "As expected of Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s first eldest lady; even your enjoyment differs from ordinary people."
"Less talk!"
"Let’s go!"
The two returned to the deep pit, leaping down together.
Meanwhile, Demon Beasts had already wreaked havoc, still digging their way forward, causing landslides along the path.
Judging by their actions, these Demon Beasts seemed to be excavating the entire Yin Yang Realm.
The place Fang Che and Yan Beihan were digging had become part of the rear, with no Demon Beasts coming by.
Another day passed.
Digging deeper had become increasingly difficult.
Given the depth of a thousand zhàng, handling the excavated soil and stones wasn’t simple.
Luckily, Eldest Lady Yan Beihan had brought a Space Ring.
They stored all the materials from two Space Rings into one, using the other to hold soil.
Every fifteen minutes, they needed to go out and dump it.
But Fang Che noticed that the small iron plates within his Divine Sense Space had started to roll and tremble, emitting dense white light that shone throughout his Divine Sense Space.
Surprisingly, it made Fang Che feel extremely comfortable.
This white light could actually refine Divine Thought.
So Fang Che was progressing as he dug. As for Yan Beihan... she was entirely used as a laborer by Fang Che.
Yet she kept a smile on her face from start to finish.
This led Fang Che to believe in the ’enjoyment’ Yan Beihan talked about.
Is it really enjoyment?
For his part, Fang Che didn’t feel any enjoyment.
Another day went by.
On the third early morning, Yan Beihan energetically came over: "Shall we go?"
"Go!"
"Let’s go!"
They returned again.
That day, just around noon, under the blazing sun...
Fang Che dug down decisively.
Suddenly, he sensed something, saying: "This is it!"
Yan Beihan instantly excited, jumped over: "Where is it, where? Let me see, there’s actually something..."
Fang Che carefully flipped over a large piece of soil beneath his feet.
From within the earth emerged a shimmering sparkle.
Like starlight in the dark night.
Fang Che gently poked with his sword tip.
His brow furrowed, finding it unmovable.
Clearing a large section of soil beneath their feet.
