The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 852 The Phoenix's Rebirth

Willow didn't know that Daniel was the Son of Seven Dragons, but she felt an inexplicable desire for him. She not only wanted to have him but to possess him completely! Seeing that Daniel was still inactive, Willow grew impatient. She pointed at the hidden door and urged, "Hey, you little troublemaker, why aren't you opening it? I can't wait any longer!" "Willow, why are you so eager? You've waited this long; a little more time won't hurt!" Daniel replied, walking over to the hidden door and giving it a light tap.

"Tap, tap!"

Then he turned to the door and commanded, "Open!"

Just like that, a simple word from him caused the previously closed hidden door to creak open.

Willow was taken aback. With wide eyes full of disbelief, she asked, "You just shouted, and the door opened?"

"Yep!" Daniel nodded. "Of course! My identity is pretty special. Would this door really need me to shout twice to open? If it did, then it's just plain stupid! I could shatter this door with one punch."

"Yeah, right! Shatter the door? If you tried to punch it, you'd probably scream in pain! Just look at what this door is made of solid stone! Hitting it would hurt like crazy!"

"Don't believe me? I'll show you!"

With that, Daniel punched the stone door.

"Ow!"

Although the door didn't break, it produced a strange yelp, a sound like a little dog barking.

Willow was shocked again. Staring at Daniel with incredulous eyes, she asked, "How did this stone door just bark?"

"Willow! You're a ghost, so you should know this door isn't made of regular stone; it's made from the stone of an ancient tomb, rich with fragmented souls. The sounds aren't from the stone itself; they're from the lost souls within it."

Daniel explained earnestly but earned an eye roll from Willow.

After rolling her eyes, she huffed, "You really are a little troublemaker! You're even picking on a piece of broken stone!"

Once they stepped into the secret room, they saw a coffin in the center.

This coffin was made of red copper, gleaming with a reddish hue, and adorned with intricate carvings of birds, including a stunning phoenix.

The Phoenix's Rebirth!

Daniel stared at the phoenix's eyes and realized they weren't lifeless; they sparkled with an eerie vitality.

"The flower you want must be inside this coffin, right?" Daniel asked Willow.

Instead of answering, Willow shot back, "How do you know this is a coffin, you little troublemaker?"

"I'm not blind! It's marked with the phoenix's rebirth, so of course it's a coffin! But don't worry; even though it's a coffin, there's no body in it. It's been repurposed as a flowerpot for that flower!"

"You little troublemaker, hurry up and open the coffin! That flower must be thriving in there, and I'm

dying to get a taste of it!" Willow said

excitedly.

"This coffin might be like a Pandora's box; who knows how many evil spirits could come pouring out if we open it?" Daniel warned.
