Chapter 935: Madam Wang’s Portrait

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As he began to become proficient with using Tendon Changing Classic, Happy was gradually able to break free of the wild silk, but only a little. He forcibly held his breath before he made himself sink down with his full weight. With one whoosh, he was then sent flying in the opposite direction like a dumpling toward the ceiling. He used hidden force in his hands and seized the ceiling.

Once it lost the weight it had to bear, the wild silk instantly became much more pliant. The force they used to bind Happy also became weaker.

At that moment, Happy struggled with great force and broke free from the cage.

The wild silk also disentangled itself from Happy with a plop. Then, like a small net that lost its use and purpose, it landed on the floor gently.

‘Well, I suppose it can be considered as a demon vessel as well.’

Happy had pretty good observational skills, and he grabbed that wild silk in his hands.

[Wild Silk Net:

[A trap. Middle-grade demon vessel. It is abnormally pliant and sturdy, making it hard to destroy. It can be used repeatedly. Once it binds its target, it can limit its enemy’s movements, and it can also suppress body fortifications to deal damage to its target. If you sell it at a shop, you can exchange it for a large sum of money.]

‘Lucky!’

Even though he was bound, it was a blessing in disguise. The realm for his Tendon Changing Classic changed, and his Affinity also increased by a large margin. Now, he found a demon vessel, and he can be considered to have gained quite a lot of rewards.

Of course, this Wild Silk Net can only be considered as an additional, unexpected reward. He still had not touched the real treasures in the house.

When he put away Wild Silk Net, Happy carefully surveyed his surroundings and searched for every spot that might hide treasures. Even though a large number of traps had been triggered just now, he could not be certain that there were no other dangers lurking around.

After looking around the area once, Happy walked to two boxes which were already open.

One of them was a jewelry box. It coughed up red powder just now, and it should be safe this time.

A hidden force shot out.

Slap!

The box was opened once more.

There was a golden hair stick inside, and it was incredibly dazzling and exquisite. It was also so sharp at one end that it shone brilliantly. By the looks of it, it was not a normal accessory.

[Tang Xiaodie’s Hair stick: Unique hidden weapon. Demon vessel.

[There is an amazing poison on the hair stick, and once it is fired, it will locate its target. It will attack the attack from all directions accurately. Has defense breaking effect and poison effect. The damage is also incredible.]

‘Hair stick… Attack from all directions?’

Happy observed the stick in his hands for quite some time before he managed to see the secret behind it.

One end of the hair stick was clearly made skillfully with the tail feathers from a phoenix, and it was bound together with countless perfect, arc-shaped, golden leaves scattered here and there. However, what puzzled him was the principle behind how these things were bound together.

But he got his second demon vessel, which was good.

He put the item away, and Happy cast a glance at the other slightly larger box. Since it remained open, he could see what was inside with just one glance. It was only a rather large Origin Leopard Pill.

Happy did not further observe it. He just put it away.

At that moment, he could no longer find any other place in the hall that could hide any sort of treasures.

Even though he had the urge to dig deep into the ground to see whether there were any other treasures around, when he thought about the possibility that he might end up causing uncontrollable situations if he did something major, he suppressed the urge and went into the room next door.

The flames in the other room had already died away, but the doors and windows were still shut. There should be no items inside, and Happy did not intend to go in and choke on ashes, so he went to the last room which had not been activated yet in the house.

*****

Happy entered a study.

When he saw dozens of books placed on the shelf, he became slightly excited and wary. This was a great temptation, and because of it, it was clear that this was a trap.

Besides, the names of the books could easily make a person excrete way too much adrenaline in their system.

Nine Solitary Swords, Thunderous Sword under the Sun, Nine Yin Manual, Bodhidharma Staff Technique.

‘That’s too fake. There’s no way a barbaric merchant will be so generous as to leave behind Nine Yin Manual and Nine Solitary Swords for Chinese martial artists.’

The shelf was either a joke by the barbaric merchant, ior a very clear death trap. It was the same as the other room.

After casting it one glance, Happy resolutely chose to ignore everything on the shelf. He surveyed the room before his gaze landed on a rather interesting picture and a bed.

His eyes fell on the picture for a moment.

‘Madam Wang?’

Happy had surprise appear on his face.

Happy saw the woman in the picture before. At the moment he saw it, he felt as if he was staring at Madam Wang herself again right then.

Madam Wang, the mistress of Mantuo Villa, and also Wang Yuyan’s mother.

Even though she looked the same as Wang Yuyan, there was no way Happy will think that the person in the picture was Wang Yuyan, to whom the young Duan Yu had successfully courted and was now a woman with a husband.

*****

Compared to the countless ultimate technique manuals on the shelf, the portrait hanging on the wall appeared to be very inconspicuous, and it successfully attracted Happy’s attention.

Because the portrait was alone, and there were no other decorations like a statue made out of whide jade beside it. It looked incredibly normal.

If he had not met Madam Wang herself, there was a possibility that Happy will go over and lift the portrait to see whether there was any trap behind the wall.

Happy walked over cautiously and picked up the portrait.

It was empty behind the wall. There was absolutely nothing behind it.

‘I knew it.’ Happy had a thought appear in his head, and his gaze landed on the portrait again.

It was a normal portrait of a beauty.

But if a player thought that the person in the portrait was a very familiar face, the player might fetch a high price in a shop. If the player can find a person who knew this woman, perhaps he or she can get even more rewards.

‘Those who sell it to the shop are idiots.’ Happy giggled happily.

He walked to the bed.

Bang!

Right when he approached the bed, it suddenly turned over and revealed a large hole. A foul stench came sweeping out.

Hiss! Hiiissss…

Those sounds were scattered everywhere, and a python that can make a person’s skin crawl slithered out of the hidden compartment under the bed. The image of it moving out from under the bed with its swollen will cause people to be unable to help but feel chills creep down their spines.

‘Who’d be so bored that he’s rear a snake under the bed?! Who does he think he is?! Xu Xian?!’ Happy forced the fear pounding in his heart and quickly retreated, intending to think after he left the small room.

The python was more than nineteen feet long, and it will be very difficult for Happy to handle it in such a small room. Besides, there were also traps which had not been activated just yet next to him. If he triggered those traps or crashed into the shelf which he should absolutely not touch, he will not even know how he ended up dead later.

Happy withdrew very quickly.

But the python had been hungry for a long time. When it smelled a stranger’s scent, it quickly chased after that scent while moving in an S shape. Its long, forked tongue was tainted with a foul stench that could make a person want to vomit, and Happy nearly suffocated because of it.

Even though the hall was large, when a nineteen feet long python squeezed it, it still seemed very small!

Besides, compared to the lions, the python was clearly even sturdier and agile. Besides, there was no place where Happy could use to assist him in throwing it. He could not grab its weakness.

Bang bang!

Even so, Happy’s methods were pretty good. He evaded the snake’s bite quickly and struck it twice at the spot seven inches below its head, but even so, its defense was so high Happy just wanted to cry before it.

The snake appeared to be completely unaffected. It just twisted around and swung its tail at Happy.

A foul wind came at his face.

Boom!

The table at the center of the hall was cut in half.

Once he avoided the fatal tail swing, Happy tapped against the wall and activated Golden Bell Cocoon to knock away countless shattered stones that came flying at him. Then, he charged forward to face the python which had temporarily lost its mobility.

He attacked with his elbow and rammed it resolutely against the python’s body. A hidden force shot out, delivering double damage.

But to the python, which had an incredibly powerful body, the hidden force that slid into its body through its skin only caused it pain, and the shock from it just made it even angrier.

In a moment, the python went into a rampage.

Happy immediately descended into danger. He avoided the attacks frequently, and even activated Petite Dragon to avoid the damage.

The entire hall seemed to have become a world for the python to go into a berserk rage. Its body and tail turned into the python’s most terrifying weapons. The items around it were all shattered and sent flying. A sharp and violent wind flew everywhere with the shattered items, and they even triggered some of the traps.

‘Traps?’

When he saw the crossbow bolts that were deeply embedded in the wall, Happy suddenly had his eyes light up.

Naturally, bare fists and kicks cannot deal any significant damage on the python. Even hidden force cannot do much against it. Besides, it was difficult for Happy to use sword techniques in the house as well.

Perhaps he can use those items.

While he avoided the python’s crazed attacks, Happy shot near the tailor-made crossbow bolts, and without even stopping for even a second, he struck the wall.

Hidden force shot through the wall and forced out all the crossbow bolts violently from the wall through the shock.

The tail from the python came with a violent gust of wind that tore at everything.

Petite Dragon.

At the same time he avoided the attack, he formed a claw with a hand in the air.

Dragon Capture!

The crossbow bolts that were forced out of the wall were instantly seized by Happy. He grabbed them, and without holding back in the slightest, he pushed them into the spot seven inches below the python’s head.

Thud!

A hidden force surged forward, and the crossbow bolts instantly pierced through the python’s skin before embedding themselves in it.

But unfortunately, even with the crossbow bolts in its body, only a small bit of blood came out of the python. Then, when it forced its muscles together, it stopped its blood from flowing out. The python then sent the shocked Happy flying away with one tail swing.

Clang!

At the moment of danger, Happy activated Golden Bell Cocoon, and it was only because of it that he did not suffer a great deal of damage. He flipped around and tapped his feet against the wall before he had his hands support him by placing them against the sides of the corner where the python threw him, allowing him to remain hanging off the wall. He stared at the python, who had descended into an even greater frenzy than before but did not show any signs of tiring out. There was a solemn expression on his face.

‘It sure is ridiculously tough. But I refuse to believe that I can’t subdue you!’

Happy grabbed another crossbow bolt and charged at the python.

He still used Petite Dragon, but this time, the python had clearly learned its lesson.

Right when it dodged Happy’s attack, it curled its tail and wrapped Happy around its body right when Happy revealed himself. The other half of its body also came rushing at Happy like a fried dough twist.

The head and tail connected with each other!

An astonishing force bound Happy, and it nearly crushed Happy’s bones.

At the same time, the python opened its mouth to bite Happy.

“Get lost!”

But Happy’s hands were not bound. He did not panic even when he faced danger, and he resolutely brought out the crossbow bolt, and when the python was close to him, the crossbow bolt pierced into its throat.

The savage python snapped its mouth shut!

Then, it released a pained hiss, and as if it was electrocuted, it released Happy by throwing him away. Its huge body began rolling about madly in the room.

Once Happy got out of danger, he retreated to a corner and checked his own condition in surprise.

At the instant he was attacked by the python, Tendon Changing Classic reacted again. His true qi quickly widened his meridian system, the speed was much faster than when he was bound by the wild silk.

Its level had also jumped up by 0.03.

‘I knew it, when I’m attacked by an even more powerful attack, Tendon Changing Classic’s level will increase much faster.’ This discovery made Happy happy. He started making plans to immediately search for a suitable place to train Tendon Changing Classic once he left the place.

But he should leave this place as soon as he can
