Then he lowered his head to look at the reflection of his body, looking at the treasure chest on him.
"This is the spirit beast of our Qianji Pond, an agreent with that elder. He is responsible for protecting us from harm, and we are responsible for guarding the treasure chests for him."
Another demon also said.
"Yes, yes, my treasure chest also belonged to the elders. They’re no longer around, so naturally we have to carry their treasure chests with us," the other spirit beasts chid in.
Hearing their words, Lin Changhong, Yue Chushui, and Yuan Jue exchanged glances.
They couldn’t help but wonder if these spirit beasts had no idea what was inside their respective treasure chests?
"None of you have ever opened the treasure chests on you?" Yuan Jue asked.
"No, why would we open them?" The spirit beasts shook their heads, finding the question rather odd.
Why would they open these treasure chests for no reason; even if there were great treasures inside them within this Qianji Pond, they wouldn’t need them anyway.
Moreover, these were the treasure chests given by that elder to their ancestors. What if they lost the elder’s protection after opening them?
So, they weren’t curious about what was inside the chests. Even if they were truly curious, they wouldn’t dare open them.
They couldn’t take such a risk; no one dared to gamble with their curiosity, right?
"I see your treasure chests are different. This one’s obviously more beautiful, isn’t it?" Lin Changhong looked at one of the spirit beasts, the one with the most luxurious chest.
Could it be that the best treasure is placed in the best chest?
"Tsk tsk, what’s that chest on its body? If you haven’t seen the chest on LuLu, that’s the real prettiest and most magnificent one."
Another spirit beast looked at its partner’s chest disdainfully. Of course, no spirit beast would actually scorn another’s chest as unworthy. It’s just that bringing this up prompted expressions of disdain to convey how noble the other chest was.
"Indeed, the chest on LuLu is the most beautiful. Its chest was entrusted by our old clan leader from Qianji Pond, and it’s said it will soon beco our new clan leader."
The spirit beast who Lin Changhong ntioned as having the most beautiful chest enthusiastically nodded and perfectly explained who LuLu was.
"So, this LuLu is quite formidable then?"
Lin Changhong and Yue Chushui both raised their eyebrows at the implication was clear.
It’s very likely that the corpse-suppressing sigil is inside that LuLu’s chest, isn’t it? Even if not, since the old clan leader left that chest behind, it must be an unrivaled treasure.
Hearing this, Yue Chushui imdiately turned around to inform Lin Caisang of the news.
...
"LuLu? The one expected to be the new leader of Qianji Pond?"
After hearing Yue Chushui’s words, Lin Caisang glanced at her husband, asking for his opinion.
"Very unlikely."
Sui Zimo directly spoke, denying Yue Chushui’s speculation.
"Brother-in-law, why do you say that?"
Yue Chushui didn’t expect Sui Zimo to disagree and asked in confusion.
"If it were really that simple, wouldn’t obtaining the corpse-suppressing sigil be too easy? As for the clan leader, that’s the least likely of all." Lin Caisang comnted.
