463: Chapter 463 Father! You've finally come to redeem me!

Time seemed to have its pause button pressed.

Everyone's gaze was fixed firmly on that small, exquisitely carved hand reaching out from the coffin.

Their faces were filled with a shock that shattered their very worldview.

After enduring the repeated bombardments of the 'Debt Repayment Center', their brains had now completely turned into mush.

This... what the hell kind of development is this?!

It's fine that a zombie didn't jump out of the coffin, but why did a hand reach out?

And it was a small hand so cute it was practically cheating, with even the fingernails having a pinkish, healthy luster?!

The contrast in style was so eerie it sent a chill down the back of everyone's necks!

Just as everyone's minds collectively crashed, the next scene nearly made their eyeballs fly out of their sockets.

That fair and tender little hand grabbed the [Treasure Basin Core Fragment] without the slightest hesitation.

With practiced ease, it brought that golden, dao rhyme-filled fragment to an invisible mouth within the darkness.

And then...

"Crunch—!"

A crisp sound that made everyone's teeth ache suddenly rang out from the pitch-black coffin!

The sound was like a piece of fine jade being smashed to smithereens by an iron hammer!

That supreme treasure fragment of the broken emperor weapon-tier was... just like that... treated as a potato chip and chewed in one bite!

"Crunch... crunch..."

The world went silent.

Only heavy breathing remained in the air, along with that scalp-numbing crunch that seemed to be chewing on everyone's Dao Heart.

"My... my Dao Heart... it hurts so much..."

Qian Duoduo's eyes were wide and round, his hands clutching his chest tightly, his chubby face pale as cold sweat rolled down.

He felt as if his Dao Heart had shattered along with that crunching sound! Smashed to bits!

Although he didn't know what that fragment was, just looking at its appearance told him it was a divine object that would make Quasi-Emperors beat each other's brains out!

And now, this divine object was actually being eaten like a crunchy snack by the ghostly thing in the coffin?!

This isn't just a waste of a heavenly gift!

This is using a Great Emperor's skull to grind teeth!

The corners of Su Chen's mouth also began to twitch uncontrollably and violently.

[Holy crap! What kind of Vicious Beast is in this coffin?! Are its teeth made of titanium alloy?!]

[Aren't you afraid of indigestion and diarrhea?!]

Su Chen was ranting frantically in his mind. He was now one hundred percent certain that this coffin was ten thousand times more of a trap than the "Debt Repayment Center" next to it!

Just as he was about to pull his teammates, who were on the verge of tears, to run away—

The "foodie" hidden in the darkness finally smacked its lips with lingering desire, having finished the "snack."

It slowly sat up from the coffin.

Finally, its true face was revealed.

It was a young girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with two pigtails pointing toward the sky, so cute it made one want to call the police.

The girl was exquisitely carved, her features like a painting, her skin as white as snow, and her large dark eyes as clean as obsidian, without a single trace of Impurities.

She looked harmless to humans and animals, incredibly adorable.

However, she was wearing a tattered immortal dress covered in patches, and a trace of golden crumbs still hung from the corner of her mouth.

She looked like a destitute little princess who had crawled out of a trash heap—nobly bred but dirt poor.

After sitting up, she first scanned her surroundings in confusion.

Her clear eyes were full of the daze of someone who had just woken up, as if saying: "Who am I? Where am I? That little cookie just now tasted pretty good, though it got stuck in my teeth a bit..."

Then, her gaze slowly landed on Su Chen and his group.

Her small nose twitched like a puppy's, sniffing lightly.

The next second.

Those confused dark eyes suddenly lit up!

They shone as if two suns had been lit instantly!

It was as if a Husky that had been starving for eight hundred years had finally smelled the scent of a Divine Beast roasted whole lamb!

Her gaze swept precisely over Jian Buping (poor ghost), Monk Jiese (poor bald guy), Qian Duoduo (poor fat guy), and the others.

Finally, it locked onto Su Chen, who was dressed in white and exuded a lazy aura of "I am very expensive and also very delicious!"

In her eyes, Su Chen wasn't a human at all!

He was clearly a breathing mountain of Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

His bones were emperor weapons, his flesh was immortal medicine, and even the air he exhaled had the sweet fragrance of a Heaven And Earth Treasure!

That scent was so sweet.

So much so that it drove her wild!

"Dad—!!!"

A crisp shout filled with surprise and filial affection, with a penetrating power that could burst eardrums, suddenly erupted from the girl's mouth!

Her petite body shot out from the coffin with a "whoosh"!

Fast! So fast it transcended everyone's understanding!

Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone present.

With a "thud"!

Like a koala, she tightly hugged Su Chen's leg!

She pressed her cute little face against Su Chen's priceless pant leg, rubbing against it happily and vigorously.

Then, she lifted that innocent little face, capable of melting eternal glaciers, and looked up at the completely petrified Su Chen with large, watery, sparkling eyes.

In a tone so aggrieved it was heartbreaking, she said in a childish voice.

"Dad! You finally came to redeem me!"

"Hungry, hungry. Food, food!"
