The activity underground continued.

"Ugh...it's so tight..."

"I'm being crushed to death..."

"Who set up this defensive formation?! Why did they even reinforce the earth?!"

The girl's voice was muffled, with obvious signs of irritation!

Su Chen stood still, his mind racing.

Yun Ling'er.

The sect leader's daughter.

Late stage of foundation building.

This must be an earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique...

and so……

Did she use earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic in Chinese mythology) to get here?

And then it got stuck?

The washing machine plot?

Su Chen glanced at the ground.

The bluestone slab had cracked in several places, but the cracks were not large. It was clear that the "soil layer" underneath had been reinforced by some kind of formation and was extremely hard.

Yun Ling'er's earth escape technique... was probably stuck halfway through, leaving her in a dilemma.

"Hello!"

The voice from underground rose again, this time with a commanding tone:

"You idiot up there! Can you hear me?!"

"I'm stuck! Please help me!"

Su Chen's lips twitched.

That willful and unruly attitude... that must be her!

He crouched down and opened his mouth towards the crack:

"Is it... Senior Sister Yun?"

The sounds from underground paused.

"...Do you know me?"

"The sect leader's daughter, who in the Qingyun Sect doesn't know her?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered.

Yun Ling'er delivered herself to my door...

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to get closer to her?

Su Chen thought for a moment, then took out a recording stone from his storage ring...

Boys need to protect themselves when they go out!

Hehe~~~

I had no intention of telling Yun Ling'er, "Young Miss, you don't want others to know what happened today either!"

Absolutely not!

"It's good that you know me!"

Knowing that Su Chen recognized her, Yun Ling'er's voice immediately gained some confidence, but then she became anxious again.

"Forget all that! Are you going to help or not?!"

"If I were to suffocate here... my father would definitely not forgive you!"

Su Chen sighed.

"Of course we'll help."

"Wait a moment, I'll dig you out right away."

He looked around; there were no tools in the room.

He could only channel his spiritual energy, and with his fingers like a sword, he slashed at the crack in the ground!

laugh--!

A flash of golden light.

A piece the size of a palm was cut from the bluestone slab.

It reveals the underlying grayish-white, rock-like, hard soil layer.

"this……"

Su Chen frowned.

This soil layer... is ridiculously hard.

Although he didn't use his full strength with his finger sword, with his current physical strength, cutting ordinary rocks should be as easy as cutting tofu.

But this layer of soil in front of me...

It only left a faint white mark?!

"No wonder it got stuck..."

Su Chen muttered something to himself and increased his spiritual energy output.

The golden light shines even brighter!

Pfft—!

This time, the soil layer was cut open to a depth of half an inch.

but……

It's still too slow.

At this rate, they'll dig Yun Ling'er out completely...

They'll probably be digging until late at night!

"Senior Sister Yun."

Su Chen spoke into the crack in the ground:

"This soil layer seems to have been reinforced by an array; it's too hard."

"I'm digging slowly, please bear with me for a while."

"...Hurry up!"

Yun Ling'er's voice was already trembling with sobs.

"It's so stuffy down there... I can hardly breathe... and, and this position is so uncomfortable!"

Su Chen stopped wasting words and focused on digging.

Golden light flashed continuously.

Gravel and dirt flew everywhere.

Soon, a pit the size of a washbasin was dug out of the ground.

Depth... about half a foot.

"Senior Sister Yun... approximately how deep are you stuck?"

Su Chen asked as he dug.

"I...I don't know!"

Yun Ling'er's voice was filled with grievance, and an increasingly barely concealed embarrassment and annoyance!

"I was planning to use earth magic to get into your house... but I got stuck halfway there!"

"Right now... I'm probably upside down? Head down, feet up..."

Upside down?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then...wouldn't we dig up the feet first?

A real washing machine storyline?
