Boarding Life-Chapter 447: Separating the Dragon and Phoenix Orbs
Qin Qi couldn’t help but take a look at the other person.
Duan Meng was wearing a pair of denim pants and a loose long-sleeved light purple top. Although it looked simple and plain, Duan Meng’s excellent figure and demeanor could not be concealed.
Even with the mask on, that ethereal and extraordinary aura was still impossible to hide.
Standing there, what model, what celebrity, they’re all overshadowed!
Qin Qi forced a smile, "Why are you wearing a mask? I almost didn’t recognize you."
Duan Meng furrowed her willow-like brows, "Without the mask, wherever I go, there’s a crowd chasing this lady, it’s so annoying!"
Qin Qi almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it back, curiously asking, "Why did you want to see me today, what do you want me to do?"
Duan Meng raised her eyebrow, coldly looking at Qin Qi, "You seem to ask too many questions. I called you over because naturally, I want you to do something. You just need to do whatever I say."
"Know your place. Right now, you’re nothing but this lady’s follower!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi’s lips twitched twice.
Damn it, he endured.
Sooner or later, he’ll have to make Duan Meng submit.
As for now, Qin Qi could only respond helplessly, "Alright, I understand. Just give the orders, I’ll follow them obediently."
Fortunately, Duan Meng is someone who acts extremely efficiently.
She straightened her posture and said coolly, "Let’s go!"
Qin Qi had no idea what Duan Meng was up to, so he followed her to a car.
Duan Meng directly sat in the driver’s seat and looked at Qin Qi, "Get in the car!"
Qin Qi was dumbfounded — wait.
This woman can drive?
She was trapped in a statue for who knows how many years, before that, cars may not have even become popular, yet she knows how to drive?
He was full of doubts, but didn’t dare to ask, so he obediently sat in the passenger seat.
Even more astonishing, Duan Meng’s driving skills were excellent; with just a press on the accelerator, a few turns, and off they went to who knows where.
Like this, after more than half an hour.
Qin Qi saw the signs.
"Isn’t this the direction to the dry well..."
The further they went, the more certain he became. He just couldn’t fathom why she was taking him to the dry well location.
Just as he thought.
After about another half hour, the car stopped.
"Get out," Duan Meng removed her mask, revealing her stunning face once again.
Even if Qin Qi had seen her several times, he still couldn’t resist sneaking a few more glances.
Then obediently, he followed her and got out of the car.
The two advanced up the mountain.
After the last time, he had immediately ordered the Chen Family people guarding the mountain to withdraw; now upon returning, the mountain was empty, with nothing but the dry well!
Without saying a word, Duan Meng gracefully jumped into the dry well.
"Come down too!"
Accompanied by her voice echoing inside the dry well after she jumped in, Qin Qi didn’t dare to delay and quickly followed suit.
In no time, Qin Qi was back in the ancient temple below the deep pond, familiar with his surroundings.
Upon returning to the ancient temple, Qin Qi was somewhat surprised — he noticed that the corpses of Wang Qiang and the secretary had completely disappeared.
Not even a bone fragment was left.
"How is this possible!" Qin Qi was full of bewilderment.
He thought he’d never set foot in the dry well again in his life, so was too lazy to clean up the corpses, but the speed of decomposition shouldn’t be so fast.
As if seeing through Qin Qi’s thoughts, Duan Meng coldly said, "Curious why those two corpses disappeared?"
Qin Qi nodded lightly.
Duan Meng snorted, "You think that old Taoist could suppress me for so long because this place is far more complex than you imagine! To tell the truth, it was the old Taoist who borrowed two treasures, making the air essence here much richer than the outside world, so everything decomposes much faster."
"Therefore, things that take a long time to rot outside may disappear here in a few days."
Qin Qi didn’t dare to say much, only nodding persistently.
Duan Meng seemed to be talking to herself as she moved toward the place where her statue had previously suppressed her.
"I’ve come back this time to find a few items that will help me retrieve the old Taoist’s good things. Since I’ve escaped, these two items should rightfully be mine, compensating for all those years of suppression!"
With that, she gazed deeply at the ground.
Then gently slapped the ground with her hand!
Instantly, the entire ancient temple began to vibrate vigorously.
"Whoa!"
Qin Qi gasped in shock, "This woman’s strength is terrifying, is she trying to collapse the underground?"
Duan Meng remained incredibly calm, her eyes unwavering.
After a while.
She keenly detected something and gently reached out, pulling out two exceptionally bright beads from deep underground.
But these two beads seemed alive, evidently resisting Duan Meng’s power.
In the tug-of-war, Duan Meng began to sweat, seemingly unable to take control of the beads.
"Interesting!"
The mysterious woman chuckled, "So it’s these two treasures, no wonder little Duan Meng couldn’t escape the statue all this time!"
"What are these beads?" Qin Qi asked in confusion.
The mysterious woman calmly replied, "I’ll explain later, soon enough we’ll need you!"
As the mysterious woman implied.
Duan Meng pointed her delicate finger, suddenly emitting a pale blue power. This power headed directly for one of the beads.
This bead had a phoenix pattern carved on it, showing signs of separating from the other bead under the jade ring’s power.
"This ring..."
Qin Qi quickly recognized it, "Isn’t this the Carved Phoenix Ring that Chen Quezi talked about? It was retrieved from the dry well and later transferred to Ghost Hand."
"Has Duan Meng been out of touch these few days because she went to retrieve the Carved Phoenix Ring? Could it be that the Carved Phoenix Ring has a special effect on these mysterious beads?"
"But both the Carved Phoenix Ring and the Carved Dragon Ring were originally in this ancient temple, what’s the logic here: the person suppressing Duan Meng left the controlling items right in front of her? Ah, forget it, what’s important now is that Ghost Hand seems to be in trouble!"
While he was pondering.
Duan Meng shouted angrily, "What are you standing around for, take out your Carved Dragon Ring."
"Oh, alright. Should I give you the Carved Dragon Ring?" Qin Qi asked confusedly.
Duan Meng clenched her silver teeth, "The Carved Dragon Ring is for men to use, what use do you have in giving it to me? Put on the Carved Dragon Ring and separate the dragon and phoenix beads."
