Chapter 272: Fiancée?

It was most apparent that the coffin was sealed shut with molten iron, indicating that from the very beginning, they didn’t want whatever was inside the coffin to come out.

Of course, even if they poured molten iron or made the coffin out of gold, it wouldn’t be able to stop a ghost from coming out.

The unique feature of this Wedding Coffin lies in the seven "protective nails."

Protective nails, also known as seven-star nails, are specifically used to nail coffins. They are also called descendant nails, symbolizing prosperity and success for future generations.

Chu Jiang could feel a protective talisman-like power on these nails when he touched them. The power of the nails was much stronger, giving a sense of calm and comfort.

Once upon a time, Chu Jiang carried a dark purple coffin with him that looked somewhat similar to the Wedding Coffin. The coffin also had nails that seemed to be a sealing method commonly used by ancient Ghost Masters.

If we compare these two coffins, Chu Jiang felt that the sealing power of the dark purple coffin was slightly weaker, mainly because it was too old.

If it weren’t for the special wood of the coffin, it would probably have turned into a pile of rotten wood by now.

———————–

While Chu Jiang was observing the Wedding Coffin, a guest arrived at Luohe City’s Tianfeng Mansion.

A white-clad woman holding a long sword came to the entrance of the building but didn’t go up. She looked slightly puzzled as she gazed at the rooftop. It seemed like there was no one there, because at this distance, she should have sensed it.

Of course, it’s also possible that the person intentionally hid their presence, so the woman decided to go upstairs and check.

Although it was almost ten o’clock, the building was still open because of the existence of "overtime workers" – those miserable creatures…

On the ground floor of the building, Xu Shengtian, dressed in a security uniform, was smoking a cigarette and playing games on his phone.

The person in charge of the security of the entire building is never late or leave early.

Xu Shengtian didn’t notice until the calm voice on his waist intercom said, "Boss, don’t you want to ask?"

Xu Shengtian looked up and quickly chased after the figure, saying, "Wait! You can’t bring weapons in here."

The security of this building is not only the responsibility of Xu Shengtian.

Although it may seem ordinary on the surface, unless it’s something that only living people can’t see, any intruder from any place will be noticed by professional security personnel.

The woman in white glanced at the somewhat scruffy security guard, but didn’t say anything.

However, the sword in her hand disappeared, and she continued forward.

Xu Shengtian had a subconscious feeling that something was not right with this person. He discreetly informed Li Xiaolang on the top floor and approached quickly.

"Miss, please register. Which company are you going to and who are you looking for?"

The woman kept walking but still answered Xu Shengtian’s words, "I’m looking for Chu Jiang."

"Oh, oh, I know Chu Jiang, he’s my older brother. May I ask what you need from him? He seems to be not here today."

The woman paused for a moment, but still continued forward.

So Xu Shengtian kept up with her and continued to "chat," "Do you know my older brother? Are you friends?"

"Fiancée."

Xu Shengtian paused for a moment, thinking he must have misheard.

"Fiancée?!"

The woman in white nodded slightly.

This was a big shock for Xu Shengtian, his expression froze for a moment.

The white lady was about to enter the elevator when Xu Shengtian realized and hurriedly followed her inside.

Then Xu Shengtian ignored the lady and took out his phone. He turned his back towards her and urgently sent a message to his cousin Xu Xiaoxiao:

[Big trouble! Big brother’s fiancée is forcing him to go back and inherit billions of dollars. And he has a beautiful and lovely young wife.]

After thinking for a moment and hesitating, Xu Shengtian sent a message to Miss Chen, the company’s accountant.

After all, Miss Chen was very kind to everyone and even gave small gifts to the security team. Xu Shengtian felt that he couldn’t show favoritism and it wouldn’t be fair.

[Big trouble! Big brother’s fiancée is forcing him to go back and inherit the family fortune. For now, I am holding her back. You hurry up and call big brother for the last time. After he goes back to inherit the fortune, you may become people from different worlds.]

"What are you doing?" The white lady rarely took the initiative and asked while looking at Xu Shengtian who was acting suspiciously.

Xu Shengtian immediately put away his phone and forced a smile, saying, "It’s nothing, nothing. I just quit a game and my teammates got angry and criticized me. I went online to talk back."

The following time was quite delicate. Xu Shengtian occasionally glanced at his phone because Xu Xiaoxiao and Chen Keai responded with a lot of question marks.

Especially Chen Keai, she asked a lot of questions like "Is it true or false?" "What does an unmarried fiancee look like?" "What does forcing the palace mean?"

Xu Shengtian originally wanted to secretly take a photo of the woman, but when he raised his phone, he sensed a dangerous aura… So he wisely put down his phone and started whistling, trying to divert the other person’s attention.

In short, Xu Shengtian felt extremely glorious and great, and had a difficult responsibility. On one hand, he had to keep the other person from suspecting him, and on the other hand, he had to answer the questions of the two women.

"Ding!" The elevator arrived at the top floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Xu Shengtian saw Li Xiaolang, accompanied by the company’s psychologist.

However, for some reason, the female doctor seemed to be in a bad mood, muttering words like "exploiting employees" under her breath.

It was only then that Xu Shengtian remembered that the person surnamed Duan, who went on a business trip to headquarters, hadn’t come back yet…

……

On Chu Jiang’s side, he had no idea what had happened at the company. After carefully observing the coffin, he affixed a Protective Talisman on each side of the sealed coffin, and then jumped out of the grave.

This made a group of people open their eyes wide and drop their jaws in amazement. He suddenly jumped two meters high out of nowhere, and they couldn’t help but wonder… Could this guy also have some kind of martial arts skills??

"First, let’s bury this place and level it off, and then I’ll figure out a way to get you all out."

Chu Jiang’s idea was simple. It didn’t matter if the ghost in the coffin was a Ghost Bride or not; but it had already shown supernatural powers and killed several people.

By doing that, you can’t just stuff it into your left hand randomly.

What if, when leading the others out, a battle happens with the ghost in the mist and then the ghost in the coffin breaks out? That would be caught in a crossfire.

So the best way to handle this is to first bury the coffin here, then come back and deal with it separately after everything outside is taken care of.

By then, whether to send it to headquarters for reinforcement and sealing, or find a way to open it, there won’t be any other factors to interfere.
