Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 991: Nangong Mo’s Interrogation, Invisible Blades Drawn!
Gu Shiyin stood frozen in place, her blood seemingly coagulated and unable to flow, her scalp tingling with numbness.
She was still meticulously plotting a minor scheme to sow discord between Zuzi and Bao Gucheng, but Zuzi had long been in complete control of the situation.
It was as if she were a proud bird on the ground that had just captured a worm with a minor trick, only to look up and find a divine dragon in the clouds lazily swiping its tail, glancing at the earth without a care for her existence.
A world of difference.
This feeling was utterly dreadful, the sense of helplessness, humiliation, and despair made her wish she could die at that moment!
It’s not scary to lose a bet, failing once is not scary, what’s scary is... being out of reach.
==
At this moment.
Beside the Jade Coffin.
Nangong Mo strode towards Zuzi.
His eyes deep: "Miss Xi, do you... have an older brother?"
Zuzi turned around, her gaze lazily swept past Gu Shiyin not far away, who was sneaking around, and sent over a faint pressure.
Then she smiled lightly, turning her eyes, not dodging or avoiding, staring straight at Nangong Mo: "Yeah."
Nangong Mo’s breath slightly tightened: "Do you... want to see your brother?"
Zuzi seemed lazy, propping her chin as if pondering for a moment: "Which brother are you referring to? I have three at home."
What were their names again, Xi Qingfeng, Xi Langyue, Xi Chansha.
Xiao Sha really knows how to name people.
Nangong Mo froze upon hearing this.
It turns out the brothers she mentioned are the Xi family’s three brothers.
This was not the answer he wanted.
Unsure whether this woman was playing dumb or not.
He stared at Zuzi, forcing the question: "You haven’t answered my question clearly just now, how did you know that lying in this coffin is definitely the Pangu Axe?"
Zuzi casually replied, "I just knew, didn’t the coffin have it carved on it."
Nangong Mo paused for a moment.
His gaze swept over the Jade Coffin again, indeed, within the pale jade color, the patterns originally looking like cloud patterns, when viewed consecutively actually formed a long giant axe, clearly resembling the Pangu Axe.
But previously, no one had noticed this detail.
Is the truth really this simple?
Did she just happen to guess it?
Nangong Mo’s eyes were complex, he asked solemnly again: "Then how did you open the coffin? This isn’t something a mortal can do!"
The atmosphere instantly became tense and dangerous.
The words "mortal" slipped out, Nangong Mo was indeed entranced.
Zuzi’s pair of ebony-like phoenix eyes stared at him for a moment.
Just as Nangong Mo felt that he finally hit the nail on the head, tearing off Zuzi’s disguise, he heard the little woman across from him let out a faint laugh, her demeanor particularly lazy and playful: "Maybe it wanted to open the door itself? It was just a coincidence that I was here."
The heavy and dangerous atmosphere seemed to be invisibly shattered.
Nangong Mo didn’t expect such a reply.
A coincidence?
The Pangu Axe wanted to come out on its own?
It’s not impossible.
As far as he knew, opening such an ancient divine artifact requires the "key" left by the one who sealed the coffin, as for what this "key" is, mortals cannot know nor find it.
Even he was unaware of what kind of key the deities might leave.
Therefore, earlier he was willing to place a bet with Bai Fei.
But if the Pangu Axe itself wishes to open the coffin and showcase itself to the world...
Nangong Mo breathed slowly, casting a sidelong glance at the Jade Coffin.
"Why is the coffin closed?"
"Damn, I didn’t have time to take more photos."
"This peerless treasure, seeing it once means seeing it less, I should have gazed intently just now..."
The archaeologists were pounding their chests in frustration, surrounding the Jade Coffin that had inexplicably shut tight once more.
"Miss Xi, can you open it again?" someone pleaded.
Zuzi slightly shook her head: "I can’t. It was just a coincidence earlier."
Nangong Mo: "..."
His questions remain unanswered, instead growing increasingly enigmatic.
She, a mere mortal, can open the Divine Coffin, is it truly a coincidence?
