It was hard to say whether they were simply too confident in the two guards at the palace entrance or had some other reason, but the coffin had no protective wards at all.
Chen Changan and Little Phoenix walked over and opened the coffin with ease.
But when it opened, there wasn't a coffin inside. Instead, there was a snow-white Jade Box.
Chen Changan and Little Phoenix crouched down in unison and examined the Jade Box before them.

"And the Jade Box isn't even big enough to hold a corpse, is it?"
"What's going on?" Little Phoenix asked, looking at Chen Changan in confusion.
"What else could it be? Whatever's inside this coffin isn't a dead person."
"Still, this Jade Box looks like it's no ordinary thing."
"Can you sense the energy coming from it?" Chen Changan asked.
"Yeah, it's obvious. There's energy rippling across the outside of the Jade Box. It seems to be wrapped in a ward."

Little Phoenix was startled
