"Hmm, the temperature in the secret room is extremely high." The Ghost Mask spoke frankly; it was at least around forty to fifty degrees. He thought to himself that even ordinary lighting wouldn't be able to achieve such an effect.

The temperature was unimaginably high...

"I also feel very hot," Wu Shuang said indifferently. She asked the Ghost Mask for help to move a statue, but their combined strength wasn’t enough. Wu Shuang gave up as it would waste too much time even if they managed to move it.

"Crouch down and support me so I can climb up there. I want to see what's inside," Wu Shuang ordered directly. The Ghost Mask raised an eyebrow but didn't move, prompting Wu Shuang to narrow her eyes and smile enchantingly. "Come here and crouch down."

"You want me to support you so you can climb up there..." he pointed at the ceiling.

Wu Shuang responded as if it were a reasonable request, "Do you have any objections"

Of course, how could a man like him let her stand on his back The Ghost Mask reminded Wu Shuang about their time limit. "Don't waste any more time. We only have half an hour left before we're trapped here and die. Of course, if you want to stay behind with me as my grave companion, that's fine by me, but won’t your little girlfriend be heartbroken"

The Ghost Mask was frustrated and suppressed the urge to hit her. "So domineering, which man would dare take you"

This comment struck a nerve with Wu Shuang, who suddenly changed color. The Ghost Mask realized he had said something wrong and immediately crouched down without further ado. Wu Shuang stomped hard on his back, nearly making him kneel. The Ghost Mask was annoyed, "Woman, be gentler!"

"Sorry," Wu Shuang smiled sweetly as she stepped onto the Ghost Mask's shoulders, helping her to reach the ceiling. She removed the glass and found something intriguing inside...

Aside from a white-hot lamp tube, there was also a long box made of sandalwood in the hidden compartment. Wu Shuang took out the box; upon opening it, she confirmed that it contained the Heart of the Sea Blue gemstone. Its dazzling blue glow seemed to be accompanied by rising heat and a mystical aura as if something within the gem was moving.

It's so beautiful...

Indeed, the Heart of Azure is a treasure and also an enchanted artifact.

"Did you get it"

Wu Shuang smiled, "Yes, as I expected."

She placed the glass back in its original spot and turned her body to dismount from Guimian. He dusted off the dirt on his shoulder while Wu Shuang took out the Heart of Azure; the temperature inside the secret chamber rose sharply, causing both of them to break into a sweat.

"It's truly beautiful. This is the Heart of Azure"

Wu Shuang nodded. Despite being an ominous object, it was incredibly beautiful and dazzling, no wonder so many people still wanted to possess it despite knowing its curse.

She breathed a sigh of relief; she finally had it in her possession.

Kaka would certainly be thrilled upon seeing this; this was the necklace that Heart Blue always longed for.

There might just be hope to lift Fei Mo's curse too.

"It’s so hot, what’s going on" Both of them were drenched in sweat as if they had just come out of a river; it was unbearably hot, and the heat was coming from the Heart of Azure...

Wu Shuang explained, "The gemstone within the Heart of Azure is a thermic stone with storage capabilities. Under normal temperatures, the gem won't change much nor increase in temperature, but when placed near intense light, it gathers and radiates heat; that's why the room feels so hot."

She hadn't initially thought of this connection, but later realized that room temperature was related to the gem. The hidden compartment inside the incandescent lamp was very discreet and hard to discover; even if one thoroughly searched the entire secret room, they might not find it. If it weren't for Heart of Sapphire's high-temperature reaction, Wu Shuang wouldn’t have found it.

The duke should be unaware that Heart of Sapphire had this function, otherwise he wouldn't have placed it beside the incandescent light.

Wu Shuang put the Heart of Sapphire into her handbag and glanced at her watch. The two of them packed up their belongings to leave. Wu Shuang casually asked, "There are so many jewels here; don't you want to take one to make your girlfriend happy"

The first time they met, she didn’t have a good impression of this person. Masked Demon was too dark and stern, as well as cunning, which wasn't something she liked dealing with.

However, through their conversations and interactions, she found that he wasn't such an unpleasant person after all.

At the very least, he didn’t feel tempted by this treasure. She was rather surprised by it.

He wore a mask, so she couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice had deepened considerably as he said, "She has been dead for seven years, and I promised her that I would accompany her for seven more years and not leave our home."

Wu Shuang was taken aback and blurted out, “Your woman must really care about you.”

After she died, he kept his promise to stay with her for another seven years; it seemed lonely and miserable, but there had to be a reason behind this. That reason was also why he reemerged into the world once those seven years were over.

Wu Shuang thought that Masked Demon's girlfriend must hope that he could let go of his grudges and live on.

This was her greatest comfort.

She recalled what Dragon Chengtian's woman had said when she died. It was completely different. She asked for revenge, whereas Wu Shuang guessed that Masked Demon’s girlfriend must have been killed in retaliation, but their approaches were entirely different from each other.

The Masked Woman smiled faintly, "Yes!"

This was the first time she saw him smile. It seemed that he was also a deeply affectionate man, a type known as a hopeless romantic!

Wu Shuang's favor towards him skyrocketed instantly. Affectionate men were just so appealing; why wasn't there anyone who treated her this way

When they reached the entrance of the secret room and were about to turn the statue, Wu Shuang and The Masked Woman simultaneously stopped in their tracks. They glanced at each other with caution and silently approached the door. Wu Shuang pressed her ear against the stone wall and frowned suddenly before signaling The Masked Woman.

The sign language that all assassins learn is mostly similar. The Masked Woman understood it to mean that there were people outside, many of them, waiting for them to open the stone door.

Wu Shuang and The Masked Woman retreated...

"What should we do" asked The Masked Woman. This was a secret room with no way out except through this stone door. Outside, however, there must be gunshots awaiting them as soon as the door opens.

“Let’s just fight our way out!” said The Masked Woman. Since they had nowhere else to go, they could only fight their way out.

Wu Shuang smiled faintly, "It doesn’t have to come to that."

"But this is a secret room!"

"I know," Wu Shuang said calmly. "Follow me."

The two of them returned to the small passage in Blue Light's villa. Wu Shuang pointed to one direction, “This mansion isn’t without flaws; its lightning protection was poorly done initially. Five years ago, a bolt of lightning destroyed the water tank on top of the building; this part had been rebuilt. Originally it used to be an air vent.”

"Are you sureking. I haven’t even had enough fun yet, but once I’m done playing with you, perhaps I’ll kindly tell you how to break that curse," Du Yueling laughed with abandon. "I find it amusing now watching you...
