After hearing Ning Wangshu's explanation, Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan exchanged a glance, astonished. "Th-this is actually an immortal treasure?"
Unable to contain their curiosity, they moved closer, eager to get a good look.
Just then, Ning Wangshu said, "All right, you can take a closer look in a bit. Let me move it inside first."
"Oh, sure!"
The two answered and hurriedly stepped aside so Ning Wangshu could move the coffin into the house and set it down along one side of the living room.
Seeing him put the coffin down, Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan moved closer again to inspect it. Laifu and Little Dot, who had been playing in the corner, were just as curious now. They came over and stared at the coffin.
"Big Brother, do you think...the person lying inside is still alive?"
Ning Ruoxuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Wangshu, tilting it to one side as she asked with an innocent expression.
Ning Wangshu froze, then furrowed his brow slightly. After pondering for a moment, he slowly replied, "It's hard to say. This coffin is far too mysterious—even immortal sense can't penetrate it. And the person inside still looks just like a living person!"
"If she really is still alive, perhaps she was sealed for some reason, or is asleep inside this coffin. It's not entirely impossible."
"But if that's true, then her origins must be extraordinary. She might even be an immortal who had existed since Ancient Times."
"Or she could be a powerful cultivator from after the End of Dharma began and the Immortal Dao vanished. Seeing no hope of becoming an immortal, yet unwilling to slowly exhaust her lifespan, she might have chosen to sleep inside this mysterious 'immortal coffin' that could keep the years from eroding her."
