Chapter 1104: Make Me Laugh
Everything came to an end.
Gu Qing Shan was soaked in sweat
Soul Points, spirit energy, stamina, spirit, everything he had, was spent without leaving anything behind.
He leaned back on the bridge, sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve obtained the recognition of the Sacrificial Dance]
[From this moment onwards, when you practice the Dance, you will absorb a certain amount of Soul Points from all things in existence]
[Not only that, as you have received recognition from the spirits of numerous worlds of the past, you’ve obtained a unique blessing: Blessing of the past worlds]
[In the next period of time, all of your powers will enter a period of rapid growth]
[The remaining power of the Demon Dragon on you will be thoroughly absorbed in 3 days]
[Your cultivation, Card level, and understanding of swordsmanship will also be improved]
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Although he gained a lot, having been through that Sacrificial Dance earlier, he couldn’t feel happy.
He was now drained, completely exhausted, and his mind was now plagued with a feeling of discomfort that couldn’t be eased.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit at a loss.
All of a sudden, an elusive charming female voice gently sang:
“At the moment of the world’s collapse, I had once sought out the reason for it all”
“The price I paid was the fleeting life, of which I had decided to expend”
“Offering to the past, moving rivers, mountains, sun, and moon, you have brought me a new life”
“Soar high, shine upon infinite worlds, bravely moving forward without fear”
“I shall once again move forward through time and the future, experience all pain and suffering for the sake of all living beings”
“And all of this was possible from your aid”
“I have seen your fatigue”
“Come, please receive my power, as it belongs to me because of you”
Everyone turned their gazes towards the cathedral.
Only to see Sacred Chant Angel standing where she was, her expression solemn as her hands were clasped together, singing an aria for Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan then felt endless power converging from every direction, being infused into his body.
A faint light gently lifted him, helping him stand up once more.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes in surprise, silently sensing the changes in his body.
In one breath’s worth of time, his stamina was completely replenished.
The second breath, his spirit peaked.
The third breath, his spirit energy overflowing.
——-unfortunately, the Soul Points that he expended weren’t replenished.
However, the dejection in his heart was gone.
His fighting spirit had been lit once more.
At this point, the Sacred Chant Angel’s song slowly came to a stop.
“Thank you” Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist.
“No, it should be me who thanked you, and also——-”
The Sacred Chant Angel said as she pointed to her body.
The upper half of her body had recovered, but her lower half was still petrified in stone.
“Come, although the curse had been lifted from me, I still need one final push in order to completely dispel its effects”
“What should I do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Make me laugh” the Sacred Chant Angel replied.
Gu Qing Shan appeared troubled.
So I still can’t avoid this.
Making the Sacred Chant Angel laugh is going to be very difficult; I’d rather have Ye Fei Li do it while I go save a few other worlds instead.
Seeing how hard he was scowling, the Sacred Chant Angel encouraged him: “Don’t worry, after the curse is gone, I can laugh again—– but I will need some stimulation from the outside”
“Really?”
“Hm”
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief and made his way across the floating bridge, quickly arriving at the cathedral.
...
In the sky, the Heavenly Father silently watched this occur.
“Who would’ve thought, the one you brought managed to dispel my daughter’s curse” he muttered.
From the void of space, the Giant of Beginning’s voice quietly resounded: 「 Although the process was unimaginable, the entrustment was still fulfilled, so you need to pay 」
The Heavenly Father looked down at the cathedral and lowered his voice: “The fee is no issue, but after everything is done with, I want you to take this youngster away as soon as possible”
「 What are you afraid of? 」the Giant of Beginning sounded a bit confused.
He couldn’t help but follow the Heavenly Father’s gaze.
Only to see the Sacred Chant Angel’s gentle gaze staring at Gu Qing Shan as if other than him, there was nothing else in this world.
The Giant of Beginning was about to smirk but quickly controlled his expression.
He continued with a serious tone: 「 After being saved, she would naturally feel grateful to the one who saved her, that is completely normal. I really don’t understand what you’re worried about 」
The Heavenly Father replied: “I am her father, I’ve spared no effort to create this Temporal Oasis, then searched high and low for people to help dispel her curse, but she hasn’t looked at me even once since a while ago”
The Giant of Beginning rolled his eye and consoled: 「 I’ll just say, this youngster might be able to reach unimaginable heights in the future, but you’re so cruel as to not allow your daughter to become acquainted with such a person? 」
The Heavenly Father froze.
The Giant of Beginning continued: 「 Just take a look at how strange his powers were, those skeletal angels had all returned to their graves. Not only did they fix their graves up, but they’ve also even thoroughly cleaned the surroundings before going back into slumber 」
「 ——-with such power, your world is going to be so much cleaner from now on 」
Hearing that, the Heavenly Father’s eyebrows twitched and glared: “I don’t need a bunch of dead people to do the cleaning for me, take that youngster away as soon as he’s finished!”
「 Alright, alright, suit yourself. Once he removes the last bit of the curse, I’ll lead him away——- seriously though, I’ve never seen such a worrywart of a father like you before 」
While they were talking, they still kept their eyes on the cathedral.
Gu Qing Shan had arrived in front of the Sacred Chant Angel.
He looked at her.
Half angel, half stone.
“...So I need to make you laugh, right?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Indeed, you need to make me laugh” the Sacred Chant Angel replied.
Gu Qing Shan scowled for a bit before talking: “There used to be a hide-and-seek association...”
The Sacred Chant Angel continued: “Even now, their chairman hasn’t been found”
Gu Qing Shan stopped and looked at her.
The Sacred Chant Angel told him: “This is not that funny, how about you try again?”
Gu Qing Shan tried thinking for a long while before trying again: “There used to be 12 animals who drifted on a boat during a flood, but the boat couldn’t handle the weight of them all, so everyone decided to each tell a joke, if someone can’t tell a joke that makes everyone laughed, they’ll be tossed off the boat. Then—-”
The Sacred Chant Angel continued: “The pig was the last to laugh”
Gu Qing Shan froze and looked at her again.
The Sacred Chant Angel shook her head a bit before staring straight into his eyes: “I assume that you’re only trying to tell a joke without implying that I’m the pig, correct?”
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly nodded.
——-this lady knows every single joke and one-shot gag in existence.
This won’t do, I have to try something else.
He crossed his arms in contemplation before his eyes suddenly glowed and said: “I’ve thought of a solution”
“Ah? Tell me then” the Sacred Chant Angel felt interested.
Gu Qing Shan put up a finger and slowly explained: “From a scientific standpoint, the body has a certain defensive mechanism: Whenever it is touched, the body would react in various ways such as becoming tense, prepare to defend itself, retaliate, or simply endure. But when a touch isn’t meant with harmful intentions, or when it carries only playful intentions, the body would shift from the previous tense state to a relaxed and unguarded state, which would then result in a bodily reaction—- in the form of laughter”
The Sacred Chant Angel was completely stunned by his explanation.
“Then, have you thought of a way to make me laugh?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, according to science, this should work without issues”
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the Earth sword from the void of space and spoke with a stern expression: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your body”
He held the blade of the Earth sword and pointed the hilt towards the Sacred Chant Angel.
Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and nervously said: “I’m going to begin now”
The Sacred Chant Angel also became nervous and couldn’t help herself asking: “What exactly are you planning to do?”
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her and asked in confusion: “Didn’t I explain it just now?”
“You didn’t say it very clearly” the Sacred Chant Angel replied.
“Ah, I’m about to try and tickle you” Gu Qing Shan answered very seriously.
The world became silent.
He—-
Wanted to give the Sacred Chant Angel——
A tickle.
The Heavenly Father: “...”
The Giant of Beginning: “...”
The watching bystanders: “...”
The Sacred Chant Angel also froze up like a real statue.
She then looked straight at Gu Qing Shan and abruptly asked: “Do you have a partner? In the words of you humans, that should be something equivalent to a girlfriend?”
“Why do you ask? I’ve never been in a relationship before” Gu Qing Shan casually answered.
The Sacred Chant Angel slowly nodded.
——-that’s very obvious.
Everyone couldn’t help but think of the same thing.
The Sacred Chant Angel looked at his honest expression while holding his sword tried suggesting: “Don’t poke me with that, how about you try telling me something easy to hear, a compliment, maybe I’ll laugh from that”
Gu Qing Shan tried thinking, then said: “You were very brave, making your way alone to that world”
The Sacred Chant Angel: “Try something else”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “You are a clever warrior”
The Sacred Chant Angel: “Try again”
Gu Qing Shan: “You’re powerful”
The Sacred Chant Angel stared intently at him, then couldn’t help but remind him: “I’m a girl, do you understand? Do you know how to give people compliments? A girl likes compliments, you—– hah— I really don’t know what to say”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and expressed his reception of her complaints.
He pondered for a bit and sincerely spoke: “I feel that, among all the girls I’ve ever met, you are the most special”
“How am I special?”
The Sacred Chant Angel couldn’t wait to hear the rest.
Gu Qing Shan: “You are the bravest, the cleverest in battle, and the most powerful girl I’ve ever met”
A cold breeze blew past.
The world was dead silent.
Everyone was speechless.
The Heavenly Father pondered: “This youngster seems to be quite safe”
「 So, you’re not chasing him away? 」the Giant of Beginning asked.
“No, once this is over, take him away as soon as possible”
「 But why? 」
“I have a bad feeling”
「...You worrywart of a father, I really have nothing else to say to you 」
In the cathedral, Gu Qing Shan frowned and carefully observed the Sacred Chant Angel’s expression.
Strange.
Why doesn’t she seem like she’s about to smile at all? Instead, it looks like she wants to cry?
Alright, let’s not follow her suggestion.
Gu Qing Shan had made up his mind.
——-he was such a person, once he had made up his mind about something, he would try everything in his power to complete it——- even the Earth sword couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.
He nudged the hilt of the Earth sword towards the Sacred Chant Angel’s armpit and lightly moved it about.
The Sacred Chant Angel started trembling, recalling everything that happened just now, she finally couldn’t hold it in and abruptly burst into laughter:
“Bahahaha, stop tickling me! Ahaha, how shameful, I am the, hahaha, Sacred Chant, haha, Angel; later on all the worlds will, ahahahaha... laugh... about...”
Crack!
Crack!
Layer after layer of rock started to peel off her body.
The Sacred Chant Angel finally landed on the ground, a holy radiance enveloped her body as it continuously flickered brighter and brighter.
—–the power of the curse had finally been dispelled!
