บท 955: At Death's Door

After returning to the Jiushao Courtyard, Yu Youyao dismissed the servants. From the secret compartment at the head of the bed, she took out the ebony box inlaid with treasures that the Empress Dowager had sent over and solemnly handed it to Yin Huaixi.

There were nine dragons and nine phoenixes carved on the box. On the top lid of the box was a huge dragon head. The dragon head bared its teeth and glared at him. Its whiskers danced wildly, and its two scaled toes tore forward.

At a glance, it was as if a huge dragon was tearing over with monstrous might. Coupled with the golden patterns on the ebony, a suffocating divine might surged over, almost making people not dare to look at it directly.

Yu Youyao urged, "Open it."

Yin Huaixi tore open the lock on the box and lifted it. He saw the "privilege proof" in the box. The heavy page exuded a heavy aura.
