The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1704: Ancient Pagoda Forged from Gold

Upon arriving at the Ancient Pagoda, Little Taotie didn’t rush in, and Hua Jinyan began inspecting the exterior of the Ancient Pagoda.

The surface of the Ancient Pagoda had an appearance of decay, as if a layer of rotting wood was attached to it. Little Taotie reached out to touch it but was stopped by Hua Jinyan, who handed her a pair of gloves: "Put these on before you touch it."

Little Taotie patted her forehead: "I almost forgot to wear gloves. If there’s poison, I’d be doomed."

It seemed to confirm what she said, as the gloves, with a layer of silver coating, turned black instantly upon contacting the decayed surface of the Ancient Pagoda.

"There’s really poison!" Little Taotie was terribly frightened.

If Hua Jinyan hadn’t reminded her, her hands would definitely have turned black from poisoning.

Hua Jinyan also wore gloves, and his gloves turned black as well.

He reached out to peel off the decayed layer, revealing the inside.

Behind the rotten wood, there was unexpectedly a gleam of gold.

Little Taotie’s eyes lit up: "It’s gold!"

Little Taotie started peeling off the rotten wood too, and together they quickly removed a large section, revealing a broad area of gold.

This gold had a reddish tint, resembling red gold, and appeared very old.

This was gold laden with thoughts.

Little Taotie used a hairpin to scrape the surface of the gold vigorously with its sharp end, wanting to see if it was just a thin layer of gold plating or if the bricks themselves were gold.

The result was, after scraping off several layers, it was still gold inside.

"Could it really be built entirely of gold?" Little Taotie continued to pry open several spots.

It was all gold, pure gold.

Little Taotie tried opening various corners, and it was still gold.

Hua Jinyan said, "It looks like this tower was indeed crafted with precision."

Little Taotie was utterly amazed: "So wealthy, who could be this rich?"

Hua Jinyan replied, "It must be someone ancient."

Little Taotie wanted to take a gold brick down but was stopped by Hua Jinyan.

Little Taotie pouted, "I just want to see if taking down the gold might reveal a Formation or an ancient Seal beneath."

Hua Jinyan met her wide eyes with some disbelief: "Really?"

Little Taotie exclaimed indignantly, "I never lie."

Hua Jinyan said, "You just lied to Teacher Lou this morning."

Little Taotie looked slightly guilty, her gaze shifting, "No, it was just a benevolent lie, the definition is different."

"We can’t rashly move these Gold Bricks. If there really is a Seal here, or something terrifying is sealed that we can’t handle, we could be in danger."

Little Taotie thought it made sense, reluctantly nodding and whispering to the gold, "Though it’s not glittering gold, a bit old, it’s still so beautiful."

This is an innate love for gold, coming from the depths of the soul.

Little Taotie’s mother is a Suan Ni, and Suan Ni is a descendant of the dragon. Strictly speaking, Little Taotie also carries the dragon lineage, and dragons have no resistance to bright, shimmering gold.

Little Taotie left reluctantly, looking back at every step: "It’s so wonderful, an entire tower made of gold, I want a house made of gold."

Hua Jinyan’s mouth twitched slightly: "In ancient times, an Emperor built a gold home for his wife."

Little Taotie’s eyes sparkled: "A good Emperor!"

Hua Jinyan said calmly, "The story of ’Gold House for Beauty’, I think you need to go back and read up."

"Why don’t you just tell me?"

"We’ll talk about it when we’re back, let’s go inside the tower first."

Little Taotie gave up asking further, humming twice, and followed Hua Jinyan into the tower.

Three candles remained lit.
