Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 307
Hu Ming originally wanted to go out to get some fresh air and get some exercise.

However, with a fragrant octopus hanging on his body, Hu Ming suddenly lost the courage to get out of bed.

"Ah~ A cigarette afterward, blissful as a god! The ancients were right!"

Holding the curled-up Yin Nanfeng in his arms, Hu Ming leisurely lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke.

"Uncle Ming, stop joking. Ancient people? Did they even have cigarettes in ancient times?"

Yin Nanfeng hummed softly.

"Even now, you're still calling me Uncle Ming? This ridiculous seniority is ridiculous. You're not even from the Nine Gates, is it really necessary?"

"I like it, so what?"

Yin Nanfeng rolled her eyes.

This was her last act of defiance.

To be honest, Yin Nanfeng was somewhat frustrated at this moment.

That's not scientific!
In fact, talking about science in this absurd world is the most absurd thing of all.

Since it was still early, the two stayed in bed and played around for a while.

Until a faint rumbling sound came from Yin Nanfeng's abdomen.

She is hungry.

"Wait, I'll go find something to eat." Hu Ming understood immediately, got up and got dressed.

Hu Ming had no interest in hiring servants or anything like that, which meant that if he wanted to do something, he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, Hu Ming's cooking skills were decent enough to make breakfast.

As for lunch, since we're not short of money, wouldn't it be better to go out to eat?
In the following days, apart from going out to eat, Yin Nanfeng, having tasted the delicious food, insisted on keeping Hu Ming at home for several days without going out.

By the fourth day...
Damn it!
Yin Nanfeng simply couldn't believe it.

But looking at Hu Ming, who was still full of energy and vitality, Yin Nanfeng finally had to face reality.

Some people truly cannot be judged by common sense.

During the meal, Yin Nanfeng looked at Hu Ming with a rather resentful expression.

To be honest, she had recovered quite a bit by the time they went out to eat, but she was still a little unsteady on her feet and had to be carried out by Hu Ming.
Hu Ming's lips twitched.

However, seeing how weak Yin Nanfeng looked, he couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

……

Those decadent days lasted for quite a while, about a month or so.

A bronze fish with snake-shaped eyebrows appeared at an auction in Hangzhou.

Hu Ming immediately understood that Chen Pi's time was running out; he couldn't hold back any longer. Wu Sansheng's scheme was almost complete, and the trip to the Heavenly Palace was probably not far off. Sure enough, that afternoon, Hu Ming received a call from the missing person, Wu Sansheng.

There's only one meaning: he's recruiting lamas, looking for skilled individuals to go to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds. If Hu Ming intends to go, then he should hurry up and set off.

Furthermore, a set address was left for Hu Ming.

As Hu Ming hung up the phone, Yin Nanfeng's voice rang in his ears.

"Uncle Ming, when are you planning to leave? Are you going with Wu Xie and the others?"

Nestled in his arms, Yin Nanfeng stretched lazily, her thin pajamas barely concealing her beautiful figure, and asked languidly.

She had openly and honestly listened to the entire phone call between Wu Sansheng and Hu Ming.

"Let's set off first thing tomorrow morning. As for Wu Xie? Don't worry about him. Wu Sansheng has other plans for him. He has to show his face at Wu Sansheng's establishment in Changsha first. I have no interest in that."

"By the way, aren't you coming along this time?"

Hu Ming pondered for a moment, sorting things out in his mind, and looked amusedly at Yin Nanfeng, who seemed to have no intention of going together.

It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the prosperity of the Nine Gates a century ago, Changsha is now the most famous place in the country for trading antiques.

Every year, Changsha accounts for at least half of the total volume of antique transactions nationwide, both overt and covert.

Of course, how many of these transactions involved the clandestine exchange of funerary objects is a matter of opinion.

Although tomb raiding is dangerous, it can lead to sudden wealth and is a persistent problem despite repeated bans.

Although Wu Sansheng settled in Hangzhou, most of his business was concentrated in Changsha.

Panzi was actually a waiter at a gambling den in Changsha.

The vast majority of the Wu family's businesses in Hangzhou are legitimate and do not involve shady dealings.

These businesses were all managed by Wu Erbai, the second son of the Wu family.

"Come on, our Yin family isn't into tomb raiding. We don't have that skill, and I'm not interested in it either."

"You said it yourself, our destination this time is Changbai Mountain, and it's still winter, freezing cold. I'm not going to suffer there!"

"But Uncle Ming, be careful when you go down there. You know you have a young and beautiful girlfriend waiting for you to come back home!"

Yin Nanfeng gave a light snort.

Yin Nanfeng was very self-aware; although she was skilled, she knew nothing about what was inside the tomb.

Once you go down there, you'll just be a burden.

Hu Ming smiled and didn't say anything more.

Early the next morning, Hu Ming left home with a bag on his back and boarded a flight to Changsha.
