Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Princes Courtesan Wife - Chapter 405
The others remaining might just ban together to get rid of the ones showing it’s head above the crowd.
Though they were angry about Shen Tianyu and them getting a headstart, it wasn’t hostile to the point of wanting to get rid of them yet.
When that was solved, the entire crowd started to move forward again. There were a few incidents of others “accidentally” falling off the bridge here and there but it didn’t cause much of a stir since they were not important people and everyone was rushing to get to the other side.
The other side of the chasm was a clear lake that expanded as far as the eye could see. There was not other structure that could be stood on except the bridge that they were on. The skies were a bright blue, completely different from the dark and stuffy feeling right after entering the gate. However, at this rate, they were unable to progress.
“Hey, are you guys sure your guy did this correctly?” One of the one sin front turned back in frustration.
“If it wasn’t right, do you think we’d be able to get here? If you have a problem, why don’t you try it?” Shen Tianyu shot back. She may not be familiar with some of the newer members but she did trust Elder Yu’s judgement of talent and character.
The person flicked his sleeves and turned back around as the others discussed how to keep going from here. Though the water in the lake was clear and didn’t have any impurities, one could not see the bottom of it. It was like a glass floor floating in the sky. However, the occasional wind that stirred the top of the waters and causing small ripples told them that it was indeed a body of liquid.
Shen Tianyu peered over the side of the bridge down at the liquid. “I have a strong urge to throw something in.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. We don’t know what will happen, after all.” Rong Jian replied.
“But if we just stand here, we’ll just be wasting time. Might as well test something out than get locked in place due to fear.” Shen Tianyu rustled through her Wind Shrine via her Cosmo Pouch to find something she could throw into the waters. She finally managed to grab onto a cinnabar stick that she kept with her all the time in case she needed to write something down.

“Yo.” She took it out of her space and threw it in the waters. Rong Jian didn’t say anything after she replied and just smiled wryly.
The cinnabar stick fell into the water and started to sink into it’s depths. Shen Tianyu watched as it slowly sank further and further down until she couldn’t see it anymore, and even then, nothing happened.
“Hm… How intriguing. I wonder how this place works.” Shen Tianyu reached a hand over to try and touch it from where she stood but couldn’t reach and gave up.
“What do you guys think?” She turned back to the others that have been talking with each other and asked. She wasn’t knowledgeable about this so it’s better to ask those more familiar than to blindly go forward.
“I haven’t seen anything like this before.” Elder Yu commented with a wrinkled brow.
“Me neither. I want to take a sample of this back to analyze it.” Muo Jeng’s eyes twinkled as he looked down at the body of liquid, that could or could not be water.
“We haven’t ever seen anything like this either.” The others were also at a loss as they peered at the waters.
“Do you think we can take some of it to experiment here?” Shen Tianyu was thinking of throwing a bucket down there and using that to see if there’s something they could do.
“I don’t think anyone brought a bucket. We all thought it would be fighting demonic beasts and other people…” The young man in command scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Well that’s understandable, I guess. I didn’t think this one would have so many puzzles either. This one seems to like brainteasers like these, unlike some of the other Ascendant Monument owners.” Shen Tianyu rested her cheek in her hands as she continued to stare at the body of liquid.
“Can’t we just make a bowl or something? There a bunch of rocks back near the entrance.” One of the newer members Shen Tianyu didn’t recognize commented.
“Can you mine the rocks with your sword then? By the time you’ve gotten a piece, I reckon the others would have already moved on.” Another member nearby immediately rebuked him.
“Oh! We can use cloth to soak up some of the liquid! But where will we store it?” The thought hit Shen Tianyu but there was still the problem of where to put it since they were going to experiment.
“Can’t we just do it on the bridge?”
“But it’s a liquid, it doesn’t have a definite shape. How are we going to experiment with it in that state?” This started a new round of discussions as no one brought anything that could hold stuff except for Cosmos equipment.
“Kyaaah!” Another scream echoed from in front of them and Shen Tianyu turned her head towards the noise to look. It seemed like a girl was pushed off the bridge and into the waters.
“Hm? Another one?” One of the members said, not even bothering to look over.
“Guys, let’s look at what happens to her. We might even get a clue on whta this liquid does.” Shen Tianyu said as she etched closer to the railing and watched.
She wasn’t familiar with the girl and she wasn’t a saint so she had no obligation to help her. Besides, now those people can push her down, if she was saved now, who knows what else they’ll do to her down the line. It might be better for her to die here then to stay with those people.
Yes, the people who pushed the girl down was wearing the same uniform as her.
