Chapter 1396: Please, Stop Acting So Stupid!
"Kemochi!"
As Xu Que's last shout echoed out, he put his palm on the ground. The whole altar's magic symbols were now filled with Celestial Core Power and they started shining.
Buttface was stunned and thought inwardly, "Brother Que is versatile and able. He's so adept, even at Japanese."
From the ice coffin, Xuanyuan Wanrong furrowed her brows again. She was skeptical because the "curse" chanted by Xu Que was too strange. She had never heard such words.
And she faintly felt that those unfamiliar words were terrible.
In addition, Xu Que's expression was solemn, as if he was facing a great danger. He even shouted at her anxiously and asked her to chant them.
Xuanyuan Wanrong felt like a great accident might occur if she didn't chant them.
"Husband!" In the end, she chose to speak.
Xuanyuan Wanrong still found this curse too strange, but she wasn't suspicious of it any longer.
After all, in her eyes, no matter which curse Xu Que made her chant, it wouldn't be able to harm her. In addition, this guy had shown her many strange objects in the past, and she had a deep impression of them. This was why she didn't think much of those curses.
"Ganbatte, husband, I love you. Husband. Yamete, Ikke Ikke. Kemochi!"
Xuanyuan Wanrong yelled the whole sentence without a hitch.
Her tone remained ice cold, as if she was reading from a script, but Xu Que, who desired revenge, was satisfied.
Xu Que revealed a smile and gave Xuanyuan Wanrong a thumbs-up. He then praised her, saying, "You have shouted it well. You can set your mind at ease: This is in the bag, and I will shortly release you."
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xuanyuan Wanrong's apathetic and delicate face.
When Xu Que saw this, he almost fell into a stupor and thought he might have seen a ghost. This woman unexpectedly could smile, and she was so pretty when she did. His delicate heart almost started beating wildly.
However, he couldn't continue teasing Xuanyuan Wanrong because the altar was already activated, and he had to handle business.
Xu Que turned his head around and yelled at Buttface, "Buttface, it's your turn."
"Okay! Brother Que, you are awesome!"
Buttface flattered him before dragging the large sea cucumber over. He was smiling even though he was cursing inwardly.
As a matter of fact, the person who would work hard for Xuanyuan Wanrong was him alone, and Xu Que didn't provide any help.
As long as Celestial Core Power was poured into this altar, it would be activated. Anyone could do this, but only Buttface could decipher the magic symbols on the altar.
He recalled a part of his sixth life's memory, and this was why he had such a good understanding of everything related to the Celestial Burial Valley. This included the Magic Symbol Restrictive Spells he had learned in the past, and he had mastered many of them. Now, as he observed the magic symbols on the altar, he didn't find them cryptic and abstruse any longer.
A deafening bang sounded as Buttface let go of the large sea cucumber and stepped heavily on a magic symbol.
Several cracks instantly appeared on the symbol, but the altar wasn't broken, and the power released by the magic symbol started spreading quickly as if it had cracked.
In the next moment, Buttface waved his paw to release Celestial Core Power. He opened a seal to move the fragments and then quickly waved his paw again atop the altar.
At first glance, Buttface looked like a silly dog dancing on the altar, with moves so outstanding that they would amaze an audience.
The effects of his moves became obvious when the fragments, controlled by Buttface, followed a special path and started flying around above the altar. In the end, they slowly formed a unique totem that floated above it.
Buttface turned his head around and shouted at Xu Que, "Lad, it's now!"
Xu Que rushed swiftly to Buttface's side, raised his right leg, and kicked the large sea cucumber.
The giant sea cucumber flew into the air with a thump and spun like a large black ball. It fell accurately in the middle of the totem drawn by Buttface.
The totem dissipated and turned into innumerable gold and silver threads, which intertwined around the sea cucumber like tentacles and tied it tightly before pressing it against the ground.
"Is this... the Void Restriction Spell?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong couldn't see the altar from within the ice coffin, but she detected a mysterious power flowing toward her.
Having seen this power once before, she recognized it. This power fused with the altar that imprisoned her and contained a powerful Void Force, a type of Restriction Spell formed by the Void Law. It was classified as a High-Level Celestial Art.
A loud rumble emanated from the altar as dazzling light streamed from the totem that had captured the sea cucumber. The light then turned into a giant light beam that soared into the sky.
Black clouds suddenly filled the sky and began churning intensely like sea waves in a storm. The weather then changed, and all Spiritual Qi in the surroundings madly rushed over like a tide.
Both wearing sunglasses and faintly smiling, Xu Que and Buttface coordinated well together as they crossed their respective hands and paws in front of their chests while calmly observing everything.
In the end, as an ear-piercing noise echoed out, the space around the totem in the altar became distorted. The radiance disappeared, and the clouds in the sky also dissipated. Everything regained its calm.
The region where the totem was situated had turned into a smooth stone surface.
Not only did the magic symbols disappear, but even the large sea cucumber was gone. It had been replaced by a pretty woman clad in white clothes.
She stood calmly in the same spot and observed her surroundings as if she was examining her domain.
She seemed like a goddess who had walked out of a painting and blended into the Celestial Burial Valley's majestic scenery. The region where she stood was no different than the beauty of a painting. She was sacred.
Suddenly, the piercing sound of a guitar disrupted the serene scene.
Buttface was holding a guitar, and Xu Que held a microphone as he placed a loudspeaker next to his feet. He then started singing in a loud voice.
"Love is like a storm befalling a boundless azure sky filled with white clouds...
"None could escape it, and it will always catch people off guard...
"A human is like this, if he catches a cold. He will sneeze, and if he gets a fever, he will rest...
"Cold and heat alternation, love and hesitation. I enjoy this, and I won't get tired of it..."
After singing up to this part, Buttface and Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and shouted toward the loudspeaker at the same time, "I gift this song 'Answer' to Fairy Xuanyuan! Congratulations on your return to the mortal world!"
After singing, they threw the guitar and microphone aside and started clapping loudly.
"Their enthusiasm and flattery are distinct boot-licking!" Xuanyuan Wanrong thought.
Xuanyuan Wanrong looked startled, amazed by Xu Que's song. She had never heard this strange song before, nor one so frank and interesting, but she still thought it was pleasant to the ear.
Her face, however, quickly recovered its usual, indifferent look, and she looked playfully at Xu Que. "Did you finally become afraid after I came out?"
She had already seen through Xu Que's character and usual conduct. He wasn't any different than a street thug, and he was a shameless rascal. In addition, he had acted rudely in front of her many times.
Now, Xu Que was singing, applauding, and fawning all over her, so it was obvious that he was afraid of her.
"Afraid? What should I be afraid of? Master, you have overthought this." Xu Que wore an innocent-looking smile and chuckled as he spoke.
"Master?" she thought.
Upon hearing this word, Xuanyuan Wanrong became angry, even more so when she saw Xu Que's smile.
She had been deceived by Xu Que's smile in the past, when she had rashly taken him on as a disciple. Now, she already knew that he was a shameless rascal, but all she could do was lament that she had been as blind as a bat.
After all, this guy wasn't just an unofficial disciple that she had taken on; he was also a Heaven's Chosen selected by her and her foreordained Cultivation Companion. From now on, they would share both life and death.
Xu Que's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong before asking, "Well, what's the matter? Did you smell something burning?"
Xuanyuan Wanrong was startled and furrowed her brows. She glanced at her surroundings but didn't see anything peculiar.
Buttface twitched his nose and sniffed the vicinity before he shook his head and said, "There isn't anything here. Where is there any burning smell?"
Xu Que didn't pay heed to Buttface and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong with a caring expression on his face. He said with a faint smile, "It's because my heart is burning for you."
Soon after, he clutched his chest and wore a pained look as he said, "Ah! My heart is quite heavy, very heavy and stuffy..."
In the next moment, he relaxed his brows again and smiled at Xuanyuan Wanrong. He said, "It turns out that my heart was already filled up by you."
In an instant, the ambiance became heavy.
Buttface knelt and hit the ground as he shouted, "Brother Que, please, stop acting so stupid!"
