Chapter 9 - Tianzun's past Chapter (9) : Rumors, Shadows, and the Hidden Garden (3) The Door.

A hidden door appeared out of the wall.

Without hesitation—

He pulled her inside

SCURRY—!!! 

Mo Beihan reached the wardrobe stabbed on it thirty six times before opening it —

But saw nothing

Rats burst out.

"…Tch." 

He cursed.

"Making fun of me." 

He stomped on of the rat so hard it head was crushed to smithereens. 

Stupid old things he closed the wardrobe and left the room. 

Inside—

Darkness swallowed them whole.

Tianzun fell to his but with a dainty little lady in his hand their position looking intimate—

He gulped and tried to stand up quickly from that awkward position. 

But with a—

Slip.

He fell forward.

Landing a perfect mistake first kiss. 

Time seemed like it froze.

PAH—! She slapped him and cursed—

"Pervert!"

"I didn't—"

But before he could finish his sentence she impatiently stood up causing her too fall on him landing hers backs

But—

Tianzun didn't say a word. 

He was quiet causing her face to burn red she looked away while they were in that particular position trying to look for solution to their current problem. 

Tianzun didn't mind her anymore as he looked for the solution to the problem. 

He has already taken slap from her. 

It was dark but she still got his face precisely. 

He definitely don't want to take another— 

So... 

He raised his hand he squeezed to check whether what he felt was wrong it was sticky and slippery in nature so he squeezed harder to feel the terain—

His eyes widened they were moss all over the place covering the normal ground.

Ahh he sighed and told mo caili. 

It looks like we have come across an ancient civilisation. 

Shit! she cursed under her breath. 

How do we move in this place? 

It could be riddled with traps and am not with my phone to give us back our sense of direction nor do we have rations to survive.

Argggh! 

She groaned out of frustration— 

All she heard was a soft chuckle from tianzun as he further states "don't worry I got us for the sense of direction so we have to move fast before completely run out of strength. "

After that statement he pulled out his tab and she said what are you going with that show us the path with your screenlight and he smiled and said—you are the second person his to know my secret he turned his gadget and commanded

"Zarex put on the torch and immediately the tab underwent different transformations from a tab to a phone, something that had no camera except for the one at its front now had it and a lot of things it hadn't had before came to being" and more importantly they could now navigate and detect anything unusual

It was like something straight out of a Sci-fi movie. 

The changes shocked mo caili as she had no clue that the game tab was a disguised device it was something beyond her knowledge. 

The light shone brightly bringing the place to full view.

she was surprised the phone had such powerful lumens.

it was bright now and it illuminated the road they tranversed.

But one problem remains the moss they have to carefully transverse the place it has a tunnel-cave like structure. 

They moved hoping to see a way out but they have been walking for thirty minute now but haven't seen. 

Mo caili fell to the ground in despair causing tianzun to stop and asked are you alright and she answered how can i be alright when am in this situation.

He was left speechless cause he brought her to this situation by holding her back and not letting her go when she struggled. 

he bowed his head and apologised to her. 

He said can we continue after the rest and she replied I am tired you can continue I will stay. 

He saw the look on her she had given up to her fate.

A pang struck tianzun's heart he held her hand and said no there is no way I am leaving you and she shouted frustratingly get lost. 

Tianzun was now in tears there was nothing he hate more than people griefing for him and worst sacrificing themselves to save him he lowered his head his bang covered his eyes—

He said no you are following me 

He carried her up with sheer determination and will—

"Not to live anyone behind again as he had done for his grandpa death. "

He uttered on this journey "we live together we die together" he continued on his journey with her on tow she tried to struggle out of his grip and he slapped her butt-cheeks reprimanding her through actions. 

Tianzun surprisingly had endurance and bodily strength he didn't fall to the moss neither to the burden he carried she had protest for him to put her down but alway got rejected. 

Eventually, he reached the three pathways and she said we have come down to this won't you put me down her voice soft and he smiled no and she said what if I said we should go our separate ways or try separate ways and see who come out first will you dare to compete. 

At that moment, his mature upfront faded away his hand losing his grips on her his child spirit taking over but suddenly—

He turned firm as he said in a cold domineering manner with his eyebrow knitted we go straight. 

This time she was taken aback she had certainly never seen the stubborn side of tianzun. 

He went straight he had an angry expression on him he was almost had by her she shaked his determination. 

No!!! 

He suddenly uttered I can't let that happen he reassured. 

He reached a point when he suddenly saw an old wooden cart his eyes brightened he immediately placed her in it and and held the handle he smiled brightly and asked

Do you want to go for a thrilling motion adventure he asked? 

She was dumbstrucked by the question and she said what not understanding as she thought he placed her inside so it will be more easier for him. 

He stood firm and started running with the cart as soon as soon as it got enough momentum he lift his body and jumped into the wooden cart. 

It drove them all the way what they could have accomplished through leg in half an hour was accomplished at one tenth of an hour with the cart. 

A large iron door with rough carving came into view and she said now what? But first he had to stop the cart unless they will crash to the door and the worse that can happen sustaining fatal injury or losing consciousness which is something they must avoid at all costs. 

So he jumped to the front stopping it but still injured himself in the process. 

She stood up from the cart and asked how can you be so careless?

But truth to be told what he really didn't want was destroying their only means of transportation while he was thinking within his thought—

Mo caili was reprimanding him for his action. 

You could have sustain injury at worst have broken bone and she smiled did you forget what you said to me "we live together, we die together." she smiled stretching out her hand.

She lend him her hand to get up—

And he used it he smiled he said thank you am very grateful while he said in a non chalant manner scratching his back head. 

So she asked did you hear what I said and he smiled and apologised he said sorry 

She instantly pitied him she knew it was not in her place to complain since he did it for her. 

He looked at the large door at the size of a gate was being viewed by them he looked at it and said it has similar pattern on the wall of the wardrobe but on a smaller scale.
