Aobangma stared intently at the large box that Dou Dou had released onto the tal platform, deep in thought.
After observing the box for a while, Xiu Hua said to Aobangma, "This box is no ordinary item; it should be difficult to open normally."
Luo Xiu asked in confusion, "What do you an by 'difficult to open normally'?"
Aobangma looked at Luo Xiu, "Apologies, Your Majesty, I can open this box, but only by force, not through normal ans."
Dou Dou laughed and said, "Tall Grandpa, don't worry. This box isn't important at all, it's completely useless. I even thought about using a chainsaw to cut it open. All I want is the treasure inside."
Aobangma replied solemnly, "But there's a divine rune seal on this box. If we force it open, the contents inside will be destroyed as well."
Upon hearing this, Dou Dou's shoulders slumped, disheartened, "So, it's like opening it to find disappointnt?"
At this mont, Zhang Yi, pinching her chin, slowly stepped forward, "I might give it a try."
Luo Xiu looked at her suddenly, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Zhang Yi t his gaze, unusually serious, "Actually, for the past half month, Qian Qing, Yueyue, and I have been so bored watching you fight that we tried to open this box. Up to now, we've figured out a bit."
Luo Xiu asked, "What do you an?"
Zhang Yi pondered, "How should I put it... it's too complicated for to explain clearly in a few words."
"In short, my stripes can penetrate the interior of the box, Qian Qing's Wicked Tenderness Technique can warp the space within, thereby helping perfectly control the stripes that seep inside."
"Yueyue can sense the faint sounds inside, allowing her to determine if the lock's teeth have clicked into the corresponding grooves."
"In other words, if the three of us work together, we can unlock the box from the inside."
Dou Dou's eyes shone brightly and praised, "Indeed, three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang!"
Zhang Yi cast her a sidelong glance, "Do you even hear what you're saying? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."
Dou Dou said, "I was praising you three for being so amazing, like little geniuses."
Xu Qianqing corrected, "It's 'genius,' not 'fart.'"
Dou Dou stuck out her tongue and said, "I only went to kindergarten, so I don't recognize many words."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but tease, "Good thing the Elf Race's throne doesn't require academic credentials."
Dou Dou retorted with dissatisfaction, "What? You look down on my kindergarten diploma, don't you? Back then, I got first place in clay modeling and even won a big red flower!"
Luo Xiu, sowhat impatient, "Alright, stop squabbling. Let's talk business."
Zhang Yi said to Luo Xiu, "Although I'm fairly confident, this will take up a lot of Divine Sense, so we'll need your strong Divine Sense."
"Hahaha..."
At this point, Aobangma suddenly burst into laughter, "Interesting, indeed interesting!"
"Your Majesty, these three beauties of yours are truly talented in unique arts. Why not give it a try; I also want to see what opportunities lie within this legendary Divine Treasury."
Xiu Hua suddenly stared at Zhang Yi, a look of sudden realization on her face, "Ah, I rember now, you're Empress Yufei, right? We've t before, it's been so many years I didn't recognize you."
Zhang Yi was suddenly speechless.
Sure, as if.
What Empress Yufei?
She must be so concubine from the Azure Emperor's past life!
Luo Xiu twitched at the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say, turned to look elsewhere, pretending he didn't hear anything.
This Xiu Hua is just forcibly engaging in awkward small talk!
Luo Qingxian, who was beside them, stifled her laughter and then explained to Xiu Hua, "Senior, you're mistaken. This fairy is surnad Zhang and is not Empress Yufei. Empress Yufei passed away long ago."
"Uh... sorry, my mistake."
Then Xiu Hua turned to Xu Qianqing, smiled, "Then surely this must be Empress Xuefei without a doubt; I won't mistake this ti!"
After speaking, she warmly took Xu Qianqing's hand, smiling, "Empress Xuefei, do you rember ? I once gifted you a small bronze ornant."
Xu Qianqing's smile gradually stiffened.
Just now, she was mocking Zhang Yi, but now it's her turn.
She shot a glance at Luo Xiu, thinking about how many won this guy had in his past life, with this Empress and that Empress, it was endless.
At this ti, Luo Xiu was so embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole with his toe, thinking if this conversation continues, he might end up digging a three-bedroom apartnt on the spot, quickly changed the topic: "We don't have much ti, and those guards might co here to make trouble. Xiao Yi, you all quickly give it a try."
"Alright!"
Zhang Yi rolled up her sleeves, full of energy, stepped in front of the box, and started working.
A mont later.
Aobangma, who had been watching from the side, saw the purple-gold stripes gradually seeping into the box. His eyes widened in excitent, "Fairy Zhang, your stripes are truly miraculous. May I study them?"
"If successful, they could create weapons capable of world destruction!"
Zhang Yi: "..."
Imdiately after, Aobangma's gaze shifted in disbelief towards Xu Qianqing, "Oh my days, this is actually the Fire Dragon Bloodline, capable of causing spatial distortion! Dear Fairy, may I have a few drops of your essence blood for research?"
"If successful, they could create weapons capable of world destruction!"
Then his gaze moved with excitent towards Su Shanyue, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! With just your flesh and blood, you're capable of producing such terrifying low-frequency sound waves. Dear Fairy, may I study you?"
"If successful, they could create weapons capable of world destruction!"
The three won were left speechless simultaneously. In unison, they looked at Luo Xiu with a pleading gaze.
Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly, feeling utterly resigned.
He finally realized; this three-star couple was truly eccentric.
One loves forcing awkward small talk, and sohow, isn't awkward at all.
The other loves researching others to create weapons, truly a fanatical weapon master.
Luo Xiu said, "There will be opportunities to study later. Clan Leader Ao, for now, let's focus on the main task."
"Yes, yes, apologies, I was being abrupt."
"..."
Ti ticked away.
Finally.
With Luo Xiu's powerful Divine Sense support, Zhang Yi and the two won coordinated perfectly, finally unlocking the interior of the Primordial Divine Treasury.
As the box opened, a blinding light burst forth, and the mysterious divine aura filled the air.
"It's open, it's open!"
"Finally opened!"
Dou Dou, ecstatic, danced around and hurriedly moved closer.
Soon.
After the spirit light in the box dissipated, everyone peered in and was stunned.
In the box, only a pair of cultural play walnuts floated, emitting a faint spirit light.
The walnuts seed to have been handled for many years, with a blood-red luster and a jade-like texture, quite exquisite.
Su Shanyue had a peculiar expression, glanced at Luo Xiu, and said, "These seem to be a pair of 'Lion Heads'."
Luo Xiu was perplexed, "What 'Lion Heads'?"
Su Shanyue explained, "My grandfather is also fond of cultural play walnuts. 'Lion Heads' is a variety of cultural play walnuts."
"To be honest, these 'Lion Heads' are quite proper, having been handled for at least ten years; they've completely jade-ified and have a fine patina."
Luo Xiu's face instantly turned dark.
Zhang Yi's shoulders slumped, utterly frustrated, "Who can understand this? After all this fuss, spending so much effort, we end up with just a pair of cultural play walnuts. Were the forefathers who made this Primordial Divine Treasury intoxicated on fake wine?"
"Is this kind of joke funny?"
"Not funny at all!"
"Boring!"
"..."
