The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 853

With that, Daniel turned to Willow and asked with a grin, “If I’m right, the ghosts inside here are probably stronger than you, right?”

“Hmph!”

Willow gave a cold snort, her face sulking as she replied to Daniel, “I used to be pretty powerful, but that’s all changed because you, little troublemaker, keep bullying me! Since I’m not as strong now, it’s all your fault! You’re the reason I'm like this! Hmph!”

Daniel: ...

Talking to her was like trying to reason with a cat. Willow seemed to twist every conversation into something teasing.

Suddenly, Daniel had an idea. He pointed at the coffin and asked, “There must be a code to open this coffin, right?”

Willow shook her head and answered with a playful smile, “Code? What code? I don’t know anything!”

“You don’t know?”

In response, Daniel gave Willow a playful smack on the backside.

“Smack!”

“Ah!”

Willow let out a sound that was both a groan and a sultry sigh, clearly exaggerating for effect.

“Do you know?”

“You little troublemaker! Why do you keep picking on me?”

“Come on, just tell me the code!”

“The Ring can seal more than just you, you know. I could trap other ghosts in it too. It may look like it’s only the size of a thumb, but it can hold a million evil spirits! If I get The Ring, that means I’d have an army of ghost soldiers at my command!”

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Willow let out a cold laugh.

“Ha!”

After that, Willow quickly figured it out. It dawned on her that while she thought she had been using Daniel, he had his own plans too.

But that didn’t bother her; she smiled sweetly at him. “So, that’s your plan, huh? I thought you came to help me get that flower! Turns out you’re really after The Ring! Since you know it’s in this coffin, then you must know how to open it as well, right?”

Daniel stepped up to the coffin and approached the intricate pattern on its surface. He reached out and began tapping on the design with incredible speed.

His fingers moved so quickly that they danced across the pattern faster than a sewing machine. In the blink of an eye, he had finished.
