Chapter 151

From their encounter in the mountains yesterday, Shermaine knew that Bianca wasn’t really that bad–hearted,
Although Bianca had pretended to leave and then hid in the shadows, even releasing a worm to bite Joshua, Shermaine guessed that she probably just wanted to probe her strength, to see whether she should try to grab the 1,000–year–old ginseng again.
In the end, after gauging Shermaine’s abilities, Bianca had to completely abandon the idea and truly leave.
Bianca walked ahead, with a waist drum fastened to her belt. Every few steps, the drum would make a couple of thumping noises, like a child’s toy, and it even had a cute hair tie attached to it.
“How old is your granddaughter?” Shermaine asked.
Bianca paused for two seconds before replying, “Seven.”
“Is she in good health?” Shermaine said.
Bianca felt like Shermaine had seen through something. “So–so,” she thought. ‘Shermaine really has a sharp eye,‘ she wondered.
Afraid that Shermaine was trying to get information out of her, Bianca warned, “Say less and keep up.”
They followed Bianca all the way to the tomb entrance.
At that moment, the green vines at the entrance had been cut away, revealing the dark interior, where not even a hand could
seen in front of one’s face, and a piercing cold wind blew out from within.
es stepped forward and said, “Bianca, don’t play tricks on us. This is clearly the entrance to the ancient tomb of the ursed Queen. Why did you bring Mr. York and Ms. Shue here?”
Bianca was calm and collected. “I didn’t say I’d tell you who it is right away.”
She coughed and took out an old, tattered map. “There’s an extremely cold herb inside this tomb of the Cursed Queen. Go and get it for me. Once you bring it back, I’ll tell you who that person is.”
However, James felt that Bianca was trying to deceive them. Moreover, based on his past experience with tomb raiding, this ancient tomb of the Cursed Queen was quite dangerous.
Joshua and Shermaine had no experience entering tombs, and the level of danger would increase significantly if they went down.
Shermaine took the map, but she had never seen this herb in any other medical books. “What do you need this herb for?”
“To cure my granddaughter. Is that not okay?” Bianca said.
“Medicine shouldn’t be taken lightly. As a sorceress and a Mysonnian doctor, you should understand this common sense,” Shermaine said.
Bianca’s eyes flickered. “Mind your own business. Are you going or not?”
Shermaine rolled up the map nonchalantly. “I’m going.”
Seeing Shermaine’s cooperation, Bianca was even more pleased with her.

Bianca threw her bag over, which contained firewood, flashlights, and other such items. “Then hurry up and go. I’ll wait for your good news outside.”
With that, Bianca walked away with her cane, looking quite dashing.
James‘ expression became slightly serious. “Ms. Shue, Mr. York, are you really going? You have no experience with tombs and could easily run into danger.”
Joshua picked up the bag Bianca had thrown over. “Why are you panicking? We won’t do anything too dangerous.”
Moreover, Bianca had lured them here for more than just that herb.
Shermaine must have discovered something, which was why she had agreed so readily.
James said earnestly, “Mr. York, Ms. Shue, we will protect you.”
They turned on their flashlights and walked into the tomb.
About two or three minutes later, three men emerged from elsewhere, holding walkie–talkies, and said to the other end, “Mr. Wright, Bianca has led them into the tomb.”
“Have people guard the tomb entrance,” Kingston commanded.
“Yes, sir,” the subordinate replied.
After the communication ended, the man hung up the walkie–talkie and put it back in his waistband. However, he suddenly felt a prick on the back of his neck.
He reached back in pain to touch it, but soon after, he fainted on the ground.
The others‘ faces changed as they were about to check on him, but they also felt something bite them.
One of them reacted quickly and slapped a dark worm to death, but it was already too late. They all fainted on the ground.
After that, Bianca came out, kicked them in the face in anger, took their guns and walkie–talkies, tied them up, and left them to their fate.
After dealing with them, Bianca turned and left. She had to go get Chloe home first before she could go into the tomb to find Shermaine.
Bianca liked Shermaine. ‘If something happened to her inside and it wasn’t their doing, that would be bad,‘ she thought.
Shermaine and the others walked inside for a long time. James and the others led the way, while Shermaine and Joshua were surrounded and protected in the middle.
Joshua held Shermaine’s hand. The warmth from Joshua’s palm came through, and she tried to pull away, but couldn’t.
She pursed her lips. “Joshua, that’s enough.” She was really about to get angry.
In the dimly lit cave, Joshua lowered his voice, speaking seriously. “Sheary, it’s dangerous here. I feel safer holding your hand tightly.”
Shermaine felt her ears getting warm again. Joshua can come up with any excuse just to hold my hand,‘ she thought.
