My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Shu rolled her eyes. "Old Wei, only you dare to joke with me. If it were anyone else, I would have buried them in the desert."

The laughter around them vanished instantly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo clicked his tongue in amazement and whispered to An Youyu, "See? This is my mother's power and intimidation. In front of her, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down."

An Youyu tilted her head back and pursed her lips slightly, "Say less, or you'll be dead if Auntie hears you."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't die. My mom only has one good son like me. She wouldn't bear to kill me, otherwise there would be no one to take care of her in her old age."

An Youyu chuckled, amused. "Since you've said that, how about I tell Auntie what you just said?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with ill intent. "Little Fish, are you threatening me?"

"Correct."

An Youyu readily admitted, a smile playing on her lips, "I don't have to say anything, but you're not allowed to bully me again tonight. If you agree, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue twice. "Not bad, you've learned to negotiate now, haven't you?"

"Hmm~"

An Youyu tilted her head back with a rather arrogant air, a faint smile in her eyes, "I learned all of this from you."

Lin Mo smiled nonchalantly, "Okay, go tell my mom."

"Ugh?"

An Youyu was stunned.

She never expected Lin Mo to react this way. Under normal circumstances, Lin Mo should have compromised.

But how could he...?

Lin Mo took in the girl's changing expressions and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Fight him?

The little one is still too young!

Wei Yan chuckled and shook his head. "Captain Lin, everyone says that Lin Mo and An Youyu are two superstars. I was curious, so I came to see for myself. I never imagined that these two superstars would be your son and future daughter-in-law. Such explosive news, can't this old guy say a few words of teasing?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu chuckled softly, "Elder Wei, everyone; I won't say any more idle talk. You've all seen it, so go and rest."

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling Lin Mo and An Youyu to follow, and then walked towards the excavation entrance.

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

After the group had walked away, the murmurs resumed.

"That little girl is so pretty, much prettier than the female celebrities on TV."

"Captain Lin's son is also very handsome. He makes this old auntie's heart flutter."

"You like it? Go talk to Captain Lin about it."

"Shut up if you can't speak properly! Captain Lin will kill me. What do I have to compete with her? I'm not even worth a single hair on that young girl's head!"

"Fortunately, I haven't been blinded by love yet."

"Get out..."

Hearing bursts of laughter coming from behind, Lin Mo pulled An Youyu a few steps closer to her mother's side. "Mom, the atmosphere at your archaeological site is quite nice."

Lin Shu smiled proudly, "Of course, they don't even know who the captain is. If anyone dares to cause trouble here, I'll kick them out. In my eyes, they're just a bunch of little karaomi!"

Li Zhao and Ye Liu chuckled to themselves behind him.

They had always heard that he was a man of genuine character, but after spending the last two days with him, they realized that using the term "genuine character" to describe Lin Shu was too conservative.

Lin Mo was speechless. "Mom, why do I feel like you're becoming more and more unrestrained lately?"

"Can't you act like an elder in front of Xiaoyuer?"

"Look at you, always talking about traditional Chinese culture..."

Before her son could finish speaking, Lin Shu glared at him impatiently, "Alright, alright, I'll be more careful next time, you're so nagging."

Lin Mo felt helpless and kept shaking his head and sighing.

This scene, witnessed by Li Zhao and Ye Liu behind them, almost made them lose their composure.

The way this mother and son interact is just so funny!

Upon arriving near the entrance, after showing their passes, the group successfully reached the descent platform.

Lin Shu helped An Youyu fasten her seatbelt, then turned to her son to confirm again, "Xiao Mo, are you sure you don't need me to come down with you? I'm very familiar with the area down there, and I think it's better if I stay with you. That way, if anything unexpected happens, I can..."

Lin Mo blinked. "No need."

Lin Shu's voice stopped abruptly, and she twitched her lips. "You brat, you're just afraid I'll interfere with your time alone with Yu'er, right? Fine, I'll just hide to the side after I go down there. You can just treat me like I'm not there. Isn't that enough?"

"Need not."

Lin Mo refused again, smiling as she fastened the seatbelt. "Mom, you can get off now. I'll take good care of Xiaoyuer."

"You kid..."

Lin Shu spat, "You're completely stubborn!"

As Lin Shu withdrew from the downward platform, under Li Zhao's control, the platform began to slowly decline, and as time went on, the rate of decline accelerated.

It was pitch black, and every twenty meters of descent there was a faint light.

In this situation, Lin Mo was worried that An Youyu would be nervous, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her, "I'm here, you don't need to..."

"Wow, this is so exciting!"

"..."

Chapter 823 The Pillar of Sealing

Under the dim light, An Youyu's fair cheeks flushed with excitement. After calling out a few times, she blinked at Lin Mo in confusion, "What did you just say? You don't need anything?"

Lin Mo: "..."

So, he was overthinking it.

Utterly speechless!

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why be afraid?"

By this time, the two had descended dozens of meters underground, where the sand layer had disappeared and been replaced by a rock layer.

An Youyu observed the surrounding black rock layers with great curiosity in her eyes. "This is so interesting! It's like filming a blockbuster movie. I'm so excited!"

Lin Mo smacked his lips.

His girl... seems a little different from ordinary girls.

Normally, most girls would be scared in such an atmosphere with extremely low visibility, but An Youyu wished she could unbuckle her seatbelt and lie down on the rock layer to study it.

"It's good that you're not afraid..."

Lin Mo forced a strange smile.

However, An Youyu's attention was focused on the surrounding rock layers at the moment, and she did not notice the strange expression on Lin Mo's face.

The descent seemed endless. After a long while, the clicking sound of the machine began to ring out.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, Lin Mo and An Youyu on the platform both shuddered.

That's it!

A brightly lit passageway came into view, several meters wide and several meters long.

The two unbuckled their safety belts, stepped off the platform, and arrived at the passageway entrance, where a sign stood to the left.

One hundred and ninety-six meters underground!

In addition to indicating the current depth, there is a simple map of the ruins below the sign.

"call--"

As An Youyu looked at the long corridor in front of her, her heart began to beat faster and her breathing became heavier.

Standing beside her, Lin Mo keenly noticed this change and frowned slightly.

"Little fish."

"Ok?"

Are you feeling unwell right now?

"No, no."

Lin Mo noticed the girl's evasive gaze, and his tone, unlike his usual gentle one, became very serious. "To be honest, when it comes to your health, I'd rather you regret it than have anything happen to you."

"I……"

An Youyu rarely saw Lin Mo like this, and she pouted with a wronged look, "I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just that my heart is beating faster than I can control. I guess that's... nervousness, yes, nervousness."

Lin Mo repeatedly confirmed, "You're not lying to me?"

An Youyu nodded vigorously, "No, I know you're worried about me. I won't do anything reckless. If I feel unwell, I'll tell you immediately, I promise."

Hearing her say that, Lin Mo's expression softened. "Remember your promise. Anyway, if anything happens to you, I'll become a widow. As long as you have the heart, I don't care."

"Widow?"

An Youyu chuckled, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Besides, you're so handsome and have such great qualities. Even without me, countless girls would like you. You wouldn't be a widow."

Lin Mo glanced at her indifferently, "Other girls are just other girls, none of them represent you."

An Youyu took Lin Mo's arm, her voice sweet and soft, "Okay, you have to believe me, I won't do anything reckless."

"That's pretty much it."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, put his arm around her shoulder, and entered the passage.

The passage was about two hundred meters long. After walking for five or six minutes, the two stepped out of the exit and entered a huge stone cave. Before their eyes were rows of strange metal pillars.

Upon seeing these metal pillars, An Youyu blurted out, "The Pillars of Sealing."
