759 Not Chosen
Outside the door, Liu’er Qianqian was absent-minded. She looked at Jiang Ming and wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say.

She did not expect things to be so difficult. Now she felt rather abandoned as she waited for Ning Caichen or Liu’er Yuanyuan to change her mind.

She had thought that her mother would agree, but she did not expect her mother to be so negative.

Moreover, Ning Caichen did not want to socialize with her and wanted her to find someone else.

If it was possible, she really wanted to marry Ning Caichen and live a good life together.

“Now, let’s go and find the person you like,” Jiang Ming said seriously and looked at Liu’er Qianqian.

“I… Um… Um…”

Liu’er Qianqian had a strange expression on her face. She did not know how to continue the topic.

Cherry, the servant girl beside her, immediately activated her spiritual energy and said to Liu’er Qianqian in her heart, “Miss, you can bring Mr. Ning Caichen to the karst cave that we have been to before. When you encounter danger inside, you can also improve your relationship.”

Liu’er Qianqian instantly understood what Cherry truly meant and immediately agreed. “I’ll take him there now.”

“The person I like lives in this karst cave. I don’t know if he is still living there.”

Liu’er Qianqian found a random place and spoke perfunctorily.

Jiang Ming looked at Liu’er Qianqian suspiciously. “Is this cave really where your crush lives?”

He asked Liu’er Qianqian to find the place where the person she liked was, but Liu’er Qianqian kept dragging him around to random places.

Now, Liu’er Qianqian had brought him to a karst cave in such a bizarre manner.

Liu’er Qianqian also regretted bringing Jiang Ming into the cave.

Indeed, no one would live in this karst cave, but the servant girl’s suggestion was very good.

If they encountered any danger, it would be easier to strengthen their relationship by waiting for the danger to pass.

At the thought of this, Liu’er Qianqian could not help but feel happy. She agreed immediately and kept nodding. “Believe me. This is what I heard.”

Jiang Ming sensed Liu’er Qianqian’s emotions and asked curiously, “What’s your plan? Are you sure your information was reliable?”

Liu’er Qianqian immediately panicked. She felt that something was wrong. “No, no, let’s go in first. This karst cave is a different world. It just looks desolate.”

As she spoke, she was about to enter the karst cave in front of her.

Moss had already grown all over the cave’s periphery, and there were also some strange substances on the moss.

There was dust around as well. It was obvious that no one had lived here before.

Seeing Liu’er Qianqian go in like this, Jiang Ming was suspicious, but he still went in.

To him, Liu’er Qianqian was not a threat. She was just an innocent princess. What could she do to him?

However, the moment he stepped into the cave, a portion of the cave collapsed and blocked the entrance.

Liu’er Qianqian was shocked and exclaimed, “Ah!”

Then, she instinctively leaned toward Jiang Ming. Like a frightened child, she clung to him.

Jiang Ming immediately felt awkward.
His entire body was stiff, but he knew that it was Liu’er Qianqian.

He guessed that Liu’er Qianqian was afraid, so he did not shake her off.

As half of the cave entrance collapsed, the cave became completely dark.

Jiang Ming snapped his fingers and produced some flames.

Coincidentally, the flames activated other things in the cave. They immediately lit up and illuminated the entire cave.

With this illumination, Liu’er Qianqian also clearly realized that she was clinging to Jiang Ming, and she immediately felt embarrassed.

Before Jiang Ming could say anything, Liu’er Qianqian let go and took the initiative to say to Jiang Ming, “I’m very sorry, Lord Ning Caichen.”

“It’s fine. It’s not a big deal. We can go deeper now. The cave entrance has been blocked.”

Jiang Ming’s heart was in his throat. He had a strange feeling about this.

His sixth sense told him that it was not easy to get out of this cave.

“It’s all my fault. I didn’t know that the person I liked had moved away, and I shouldn’t have come in. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be trapped in this karst cave now.”

Liu’er Qianqian was instantly filled with regret, and she became dejected.

She did not know if they could get out. If they could not, then her life would be ruined here.

“It’s okay. We can definitely get out. Just treat it as an adventure.”

Jiang Ming sensed Liu’er Qianqian’s uneasiness. He comforted her and patted her shoulder.

Liu’er Qianqian suddenly felt a lot more relieved. She looked at Jiang Ming with tears in her eyes.

He was so reliable.

Jiang Ming looked around and held Liu’er Qianqian’s arm. “Hold on to me. We can definitely get out.”

Liu’er Qianqian nodded.

There was nothing in the cave except for some spider webs.

After walking for a while, some light appeared in front of them.

Liu’er Qianqian was already exhausted from walking. She felt like she was about to explode, but because of Jiang Ming, she could not complain about being tired.

Liu’er Qianqian’s thoughts were very simple.

If she complained about being tired in front of Ning Caichen, would not she give Ning Caichen a bad impression of herself?

She still hoped that Ning Caichen would agree to marry her. If she gave Ning Caichen a bad impression of herself now, then she would have no chance at all.

However, when they reached the light, Jiang Ming and Liu’er Qianqian could not get out.

Whenever they entered the light, the light would bring them back into the cave.

Jiang Ming and Liu’er Qianqian tried three times, and the results were the same.

Jiang Ming could not help but lose his patience. He used a spell to discover the hidden enchantment at the entrance of the cave.

Liu’er Qianqian also saw the barrier and could not help but feel scared. “Ning Caichen, these barriers seem to be able to consume people’s lifespan. It’s better not to continue forward.”

Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat, and then he pondered. “It shouldn’t be, right? If this array wears down one’s lifespan, then there will definitely be skeletons inside. However, there aren’t that many skeletons inside. You should be mistaken.”

“Is there a possibility that the skeletons have been hidden away?”

Liu’er Qianqian stared at a certain spot. She was trembling.

When he saw Liu’er Qianqian’s gaze, Jiang Ming realized something and looked at her. “What did you see?”
