Chapter 34: The God of Happiness

Just as Li Huowang was about to lose consciousness, he quickly grabbed the bronze bell hanging from his waist and swung his arm. The bell’s signature piercing sound resounded, causing him to quickly snap back to consciousness.

Bang!

The back of Li Huowang’s head hit the ground hard, his head ringing from the impact.

However, he ignored the pain and continued to ring the bell.

I almost got fooled by this thing!

Soon, the edges of the tables, the stage, and even the memorial tablets started wriggling before congregating onto a single spot.

Li Huowang pushed through the intense pain and pointed at the ‘thing’. The Wandering God that he had summoned understood his order and pounced on the fake Lu Zhuangyuan.

Seeing that Li Huowang now had a helping hand, the ‘thing’ wanted to escape, but it was too late; the Wandering God had already arrived beside it.

But instead of attacking the body of the fake Lu Zhuangyuan, it pounced onto the ground and into its shadow.

The Wandering God’s body appeared to be made from razor-sharp lines which it used to slice up the shadow into little pieces, causing the ‘thing’ to howl like a beast in pain and struggle on the floor.

So it’s real body is the shadow? No wonder it didn’t die even though I cut it in half earlier.

Under the Wandering God’s assault, the shadow dispersed, causing the fake Lu Zhuangyuan’s body to deflate as it ultimately became a pile of black goo.

Just as Li Huowang thought that everything was over, the Wandering God quickly returned and circled around him.

What the? Is it not over?

Li Huowang had been prepared to stop ringing the bell, but seeing how it might not yet be over, he quickly swung it even harder.

Upon realizing that hiding wouldn’t work, the ‘girl’ with the tiny feet appeared from a crack, staring angrily at him.

Oh? So it can split itself in half? It seems that the fake Lu Zhuangyuan was made by its other half.

Just as he had this thought, another ‘girl’ with tiny feet split from the body of the first one. Then, the ‘thing’ started splitting itself into more and more bodies!

Soon, they started splitting into numerous bodies, each getting smaller and smaller.

Li Huowang finally regained control of his body as he cracked his bones and crumpled down to the ground. He was panting hard as he stared at the large stone bricks with both of his hands supporting his body.

Shit! What did that ‘girl’ with tiny feet summon? What just happened?

Many questions kept popping up in his mind.

He held onto the edge of a table and slowly sat down before looking back up into the sky; he saw nothing, almost as if everything had been an illusion.

Meanwhile, the sky was starting to grow bright. The fifth section of the night had passed. Soon, the members of the Hu family would come and place the memorial tablets of their ancestors back on the altars.

The stage was still filled with singing and dancing. Lu Zhuangyuan and the rest had performed for the entire night. Even though their voices were shaking and hoarse, they dared not stop.

Looking at the black memorial tablets, Li Huowang suddenly realized that the sound just now had been from them slamming onto the tables.

Li Huowang was shocked.

Did the ancestor’s of the Hu family help me?

He thought about it and felt that it might be a possibility, so he faced the memorial tablets before giving them his respect. “Thank you for the assistance.”

Just as he did so, the tablets once again started shaking and slamming the table lightly.

Seeing the increasingly strong slamming, Li Huowang took a step back, fully alert.

What the? Did I do something wrong? It’s almost daytime now, so why aren’t all of you going back?

Just as he was wandering about, all of the memorial tablets fell backward.

Then, a familiar voice rang out by his ears, chilling him to the core.

“My dear disciple.”
