When the assistant heard Zhao Rong claim that giving him sleeping pills would allow him to lead everyone to the Polar Evil Spirit's tomb, he burst out laughing. "Brother Zhao Rong, are you kidding me?" he scoffed. "Do you really believe what the Polar Evil Spirit said? That after I fall asleep, I'll sleepwalk to its tomb, dig it up, and carry it back to the ice house? That's all fake. You can't actually believe him!"
Hearing the assistant's denial, Zhao Rong could only manage an awkward smile. Just then, as the sky began to brighten, the three women arrived. The moment they stepped into the assistant's ice house, they were assaulted by a thick stench of body odor that made them reflexively cover their noses.
Lili, finding it hard to breathe, asked, "Brother Zhao Rong, Assistant, what were you two doing in here yesterday? Why does the room reek so strongly of body odor?"
