Supporting Protagonist: A fluffy, chubby golden nine-tailed fox cub.
However, he didn't tell Shen Yulou that he had a system, and that he didn't judge the quality of the coffin himself; the system told him.
With his current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to steal the coffin while these people weren't paying attention; it was all the system's help.
Shen Yulou glanced at him with a smile, but did not expose him.
It doesn't matter whether you say it or not, as long as you have it.
I hope he can make faster progress and come work in the Demon Realm.
The thought that she could lure such an awesome person to the Demon Realm made Shen Meiren want to show off.
The demon realm truly has worthy successors, which doesn't stop him from enjoying some alone time with his Demon Lord.
"I need your help. This dragon is trapped here by the owner of this tomb."
“We are its friends, and we need a drop of the Immortal Lord’s heart’s blood to save it.”
Upon hearing Shen Yulou's words, Xiao Xinghong immediately threw the coffin off his back and tossed it to the ground with a flourish.
"Take it, take as much as you want!"
He seemed extremely generous.
After all, it's not you who's in the coffin. What's wrong with giving your benefactor a drop of your heart's blood?
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan gently lifted the coffin lid, and the Immortal Lord's body lay quietly inside.
His body seemed to radiate an extraordinary light, and even in a still state, one could still feel his former supreme majesty.
His skin was as smooth and lustrous as white jade, yet it possessed an ethereal quality that seemed to belong to another world. The crisscrossing, full veins beneath his fair skin made him appear exceptionally vibrant.
It was as if they had never died, but had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
His golden robes were covered in runes; anyone with trypophobia would find them impossible to look at.
Chi Yuan placed his palm on his chest, and a drop of blood from his heart slowly floated out.
"You can turn it off now."
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Xiao Xinghong, with great foresight, took the job, put the coffin lid back on, and then carried it on his back again.
"It is still missing the horn of the Azure Dragon of the East, the tail feathers of the Vermilion Bird of the South, the black hair on the forehead of the White Tiger of the West, and the tortoise shell of the Black Tortoise of the North."
The Immortal Lord's heart's blood was collected by Chi Yuan into a small bottle. He listed the ingredients he needed like a menu, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Xinghong.
"Did you see these things in the room where the coffins are kept?"
Xiao Xinghong chuckled and pulled out a bunch of burial items from the space rewarded by the system.
"Take a look for yourselves and see if there's anything you want."
He's the kind of person who'd take a feather from every passing goose; leaving those people even a single penny was considered generous.
The Dragon King stroked his dragon whiskers, thinking that this young man was truly remarkable.
That's very sensible; he deserves a reward!
Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou searched for a while and quickly found what they wanted.
Taking out the small bottle containing his heart's blood, Chi Yuan placed the material in his palm and clenched his fist.
The materials quickly turned into a pile of powder and fell into the bottle.
Cover and shake well.
Finally, pour everything from the bottle onto the paper containing the unlocking charm, allowing the liquid to slowly seep in.
"Here, put it on again."
This time, as soon as the Dragon King affixed the talisman, the once calm ice surface began to crack.
The ground beneath their feet had turned into a lake.
Chi Yuan embraced Shen Yulou and floated into the air, while Xiao Xinghong, who had not yet learned to fly, was about to fall into the water.
The dragon king's two horns lifted him up, and his lower body finally broke free from the chains.
"roar!"
Its lithe body soared into the air, and a tremendous dragon roar resounded throughout the tomb, penetrating through layers of space and inspiring awe.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll take you guys to tear up this tomb."
With a flick of its tail, it pulled Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan, who were in mid-air, onto its body.
With another roar, the space began to crumble, and stones from the walls began to fall.
The Dragon King dug a tunnel for himself with his claws and crawled inside.
