The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

After they crossed a village, the expedition team arrived on a barren piece of land.

Sylvie then took out a stud finder from her backpack and checked the surrounding area before stamping her feet on a patch of ground. "This is it. Start digging!" "What?!"

"Entrance? What, did you think that this is a TV show?"

Sylvie laughed. "Most tombs don't even have pillars, and even the pillars of the rare few tombs of kings would erode and crumble from the shifting of the tectonic plates.
