The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 853 The Ring

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!"

"I won't tell you! You have to guess! Did you not see the pattern on this coffin? The code is always changing, and you'll need to figure it out. If you don't have that skill, just forget

about it."

"Do you know that there's something else in this coffin besides the flower?" Daniel pressed on.

"Something else?"

Willow's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What is it?"

"The Ring," Daniel replied.

"The Ring? What does it do?" Willow asked, intrigued.

"What does it do? It seals you away! Once I have The Ring, I can trap you inside and keep you there forever," Daniel said, chuckling.

"I don't want that! I don't want to be sealed! Little troublemaker, if you dare put me in The Ring, I'll make sure to come out at midnight and scratch you to pieces!"

"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.
