An Jiuyue’s eyes lit up when she saw the key.
It was what she was looking for. She did not expect it to be in the tree hole. Her father was really good at hiding things—to think he actually hid it there!
Qian Jiyun placed the key in An Jiuyue’s palm and reminded her, “Take it. Don’t go to dangerous places again. I’m here. Just let me know.”
“Mhm, yes, yes,” An Jiuyue answered happily after obtaining the key she was looking for.
In fact, she did not hear what he said at all because she only had eyes for the key. She was very eager to know what was in the box.!!
Meanwhile, An Gouzi and the others, who had been busy building the straw shed, were stunned.
The man next to An Jiuyue could fly! People who could fly were like mythical figures to them. They were surprised to witness it today.
They soon became fearful after their initial surprise.
They had previously thought An Jiuyue was no pushover and could beat them up so badly they were afraid to even fart in front of her. Now, she had someone like that with her. It must have been kind of her to spare their lives when they tried to steal her food.
An Gouzi, who had decided to loaf on the job if he could, did not dare do it anymore. He urged An Feng and the others to work quickly.
“Hurry, hurry up and work.”
If they did not work hard and angered An Jiuyue, they would anger Qian Jiyun too.
If Qian Jiyun got physical with them, they would be in for more than a beating. Perhaps they should just dig a hole and bury themselves.
“Work, work. Hurry up, Ah Hao. Scrape off these tree barks.”
“Okay, let’s do it together.”
They had nothing else to say. Working was their sole focus now. They did not care about anything else.
…
An Jiuyue did not stay downstairs any longer. She took the key and went into the treehouse to retrieve an exquisite box with an ancient allure.
It was no ordinary box, nor the kind with a small lock.
She inserted the key into the middle of the top of the box.
“Huh, what’s going on? I can’t turn the key or press it down. What’s going on?”
An Jiuyue jiggled the key a few times but could not turn it. She could not press it down either. How could she open the box?
“Am I supposed to insert the key somewhere else?” she muttered as she picked up the small box with both hands and tilted her head to inspect the bottom.
There was nothing except some carved patterns, which made the box look grand. It appeared as if it belonged to a big, prominent family.
However, she could not find somewhere to insert the key below.
There was also definitely nothing on the four edges of the box. She had studied them before. There was only a square hole on top for the key.
“But why can’t I twist the key?” She could not understand because she knew little about mechanisms like this.
“Maybe you have to borrow an external force, Master?” Wei Na reminded.
An Jiuyue rolled her eyes and was speechless.
