Chapter 870 The Substitute Bride (The End)
The guards and the emperor, who had been drawn by the enormous roar of the electric dragon, had now arrived at the entrance to the emperor's private treasury.
The emperor was not obsessed with cultivating immortality, but he did believe in the existence of gods.
They came here now to catch a glimpse of the immortals and to pray for their blessing for the prosperity of the dynasty. In fact, they also had another idea: to capture the so-called gods and make them work for them.
The general, who understood the emperor well, placed his hand on his sword and protected the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I will protect you. Please hide behind me for a moment."
The emperor reached out and shoved the general aside. "Someone, open the door to the private treasury."
"Yes."
A eunuch nervously unlocked the door with the key, and then two guards pushed open the door.
Xiong Bufan was originally robbing valuables, but when she heard someone open the door, she quickly slipped out through the large hole in the roof. She didn't want to cause any trouble right now.
The vault was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. After the two soldiers pushed open the door, they went to light the lamps.
After the emperor sent people to check that there was no danger inside, he slowly walked in under the protection of the general.
I was stunned by the scene before me as soon as I saw it. Almost all the treasures had disappeared. The precious calligraphy and paintings were scattered on the ground, and some were even half missing.
The emperor suppressed his anger and ordered, "Guards, seal off the palace."
"I will investigate thoroughly to find out which petty thief dared to steal from the palace."
"Yes."
After leaving the emperor's private treasury, Xiong Bufan did not linger in the palace. He went straight back to the Wang family, since there was still some excitement to be had there.
Kongkong: "Extraordinary, this world now completely belongs to us."
No need to share the world with the consciousness in the book anymore.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Bufan nearly fell off the bed. "What? I have to support the people of a small world? I can't afford it."
Kongkong didn't understand how Xiong Bufan came to this conclusion, but she had never been a Heavenly Dao before and didn't know how to do it. She just said according to her own thoughts, "I don't need you to support me, it should be the same as when you were the Beast God."
Xiong Bufan: "Oh, then let the world develop on its own."
"Ok."
In Xiong Bufan's eyes, she would rather have gold and silver than have the small world.
There are many small worlds without the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao. Even if Xiong Bufan ignores this world, it will still develop a new consciousness of the Heavenly Dao according to its own laws of development.
Thinking of the benefits of becoming the Heavenly Dao of a small world, Kongkong continued to persuade him: "Bufan, if you become the Heavenly Dao, you will gain power."
Xiong Bufan shook his head again, "But I also want to give back to this world, which is just too troublesome."
"Ok."
Xiong Bufan has a fairly thorough understanding of the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and the Small World.
Wang Hong only sent back the news three or four days later in the early morning; it was just that the doctor had come to ask for medical expenses.
Although Madam Wang blamed Wang Hong for stealing her dowry and keeping a mistress, she still gave the doctor money for medical expenses and sent servants and maids from the mansion to go with the doctor to bring Wang Hong back.
When Wang Hong returned, he mustered his strength to explain to Madam Wang, hoping she wouldn't abandon him, as he was an official of the imperial court and could still contribute to the family.
Lady Wang's expression was cold, but she did not murder her husband.
Xiong Bufan was quite disappointed to see all this, because she felt that Madam Wang lacked backbone; normally, she would have been willing to kill Wang Hong.
In fact, many women in ancient times regarded their husbands as their heaven. Now that Wang Yuhuan has become blind, if Lady Wang really kills Wang Hong, the Wang family will come to fight for the property, and anyone can take a kick at them. That would truly be a case of not using one's brain.
Kongkong felt that Xiong Bufan still hadn't figured out the key point. However, Xiong Bufan was doing quite well now, since thinking too much could easily turn him into a fool.
Xiong Bufan stayed at the Wang family's house for a few more days, and then wandered around the capital city. He noticed that the beggars who had worked with him before all had jobs and no longer begged.
He then ran outside the city, dug a hole for himself, lay down in it, and left this world forever.
As for Cai Ling, she was not even in Xiong Bufan's consideration.
Kongkong was also somewhat surprised to see Xiong Bufan return to the space. She thought that Xiong Bufan would enjoy himself in that world.
After returning to his space, Xiong Bufan first admired his spoils of war, and then wandered around looking at them.
On this trip, apart from the gold, silver, and the things the original owner gave him, Xiong Bufan basically got nothing.
Lai Cai and the two little ginseng spirits stayed close to Xiong Bufan, basically following her wherever she went.
Xiong Bufan felt tired after walking halfway, so he plopped back down on the bed, put one arm around Laicai and the other around the two little ginseng spirits, and went straight to sleep.
The tasks in this little world are really difficult; they're exhausting.
Kongkong understands Xiong Bufan, but the problem she faces now is that she is not very tired, so instead of jumping into bed to sleep, she is dealing with the things that Xiong Bufan brought back.
After packing everything up, Xiong Bufan was still asleep, so Kongkong went to investigate the cause of the big cat's death.
Xiong Bufan always believed that the author's consciousness had killed him, and Kongkong really wanted to know how Xiong Bufan discovered it and why she couldn't discover it herself.
Who killed the big cat?
Kongkong shifted the focus back to Blackfire Village. One-Eyed, the second-in-command of Blackfire Village, was at home offering incense to Bodhidharma, as usual, while those people were away.
When offering incense, people traditionally pray for the prosperity and wealth of Blackfire Village.
As the incense burned down, the statue of Bodhidharma suddenly began to speak, "Tonight..."
The one-eyed man felt it was Bodhidharma manifesting himself, and became even more respectful, doing as he was asked.
The scroll cannot be moved around, but the consciousness generated in the book can. Moreover, Xiong Bufan's focus on the task is entirely beneficial to the consciousness in the book.
Kongkong, with his clever mind, immediately realized that it was the book's consciousness that was causing the bandits to raid Xiong Bufan's house that night while he was away.
By killing the consciousness of the book and the author's consciousness, Xiong Bufan inadvertently avenged the big cat.
After Kongkong figured out the key point, he stopped worrying and continued to observe how the Wang family lived after Xiong Bufan left.
After Xiong Bufan left, Cailing couldn't sleep for nights on end. Whenever she heard the slightest noise, she would sit up in bed to see if Xiong Bufan had returned.
Wang Yuhuan was disfigured and blinded, so she couldn't get married. She could only marry a poor scholar. The scholar was two-faced in front of Wang Yuhuan and often secretly abused her, thinking that she was the reason he couldn't get married and have children.
Although Wang Hong recovered later, he was not given important positions in the imperial court and was demoted back to a minor eighth-rank official. He had many tasks but little money and even had difficulty making ends meet.
