Chapter 150: Gods and Buddhas, whoever sits on it will explode

Feng Zhou, who rarely appeared, only showed up when Ah Bao looked for him.

“Little Princess.”

Ah Bao made a shushing gesture. “Shh, quiet.”

Feng Zhou: “…”

He had never taken care of children before, and Little Princess was the only one.

Perhaps because he had seen her grow from a child to this age, he understood every word she said.

“It’s so late. Are you going to leave the palace?”

Previously, the Seventh Prince had taken the Little Princess out of the palace the most.

The Seventh Prince is Playful and Gets Along Well with the Little Princess

The Seventh Prince is quite playful and gets along very well with the Little Princess.

He always follows behind her without saying a word.

“Yige, Yige~” Ah Bao tugged at Feng Zhou’s sleeve. She had never seen Feng Zhou as a bodyguard, but rather like a big brother.

Feng Zhou picked up Ah Bao. “Alright.”

No matter what the Little Princess wanted to do, he would protect her.

This job was very easy for him.

Ah Bao, as she wished, left the palace.

Feng Zhou asked, “Little Princess, where do you want to go?”

Ah Bao pointed to the Stargazing Platform.

Feng Zhou was stunned for a few seconds, but seeing Ah Bao’s serious expression, he realized she wasn’t joking.

Feng Zhou was puzzled about why the Little Princess wanted to go to the Stargazing Platform so late.

The Stargazing Platform was heavily guarded.

Ah Bao took out a large gold token from her small pocket, clearly a gift from the Great Tyrant earlier.

This was Feng Zhou’s second visit to the Stargazing Platform.

He still remembered the last time they came, the Star God’s eyes opened, and the celestial phenomenon of the nine stars aligning became a topic of great discussion among the capital’s people.

In the dead of night, Ah Bao’s small body once again entered the grand hall.

The Star God’s cloak had long changed from gold to red.

The offering table was no longer adorned with gold leaves but had turned into red apples.

Ever since the Little Princess last visited, the golden hall had turned completely red. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation might think it was a wedding hall.

Ah Bao climbed onto the offering table, grabbed a large apple, and took a few bites before a cold wind blew in, lifting the red decorations inside the hall…

Ah Bao forgot about the apple and waved her small arms at the Star God. “Hi, hi, hi…”

Feng Zhou watched the astonishing scene, wondering if the Little Princess had actually seen the Star God.

The Star God was said to only manifest when offerings were made by the royal family.

An incredible scene unfolded: Ah Bao hugged the statue of the Star God and began to cry loudly, with snot and tears streaming down her face.

If Feng Zhou hadn’t been there, and hadn’t seen the fleeting smile in Ah Bao’s eyes, he might have thought the Little Princess was truly upset.

“Ah Bao, Ah Bao—”

“Eee eee—”

“Waa waaa—”

“@#4%&*—”

Ah Bao’s small mouth kept moving, crying and speaking. Feng Zhou didn’t understand a single word.

The Star God statue, which had been listening to Ah Bao, began to shake.

The entire statue trembled incessantly.

Ah Bao wiped her tears, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely, “Are you going or not?”

Feng Zhou understood this.

The Little Princess was indeed talking to the Star God statue.

What did she want the Star God to do?

Upon hearing this, the statue shook even more violently.

Feng Zhou: ???

This was truly an eye-opener!

Ah Bao, slightly annoyed, puffed her cheeks. “Going or not? Going or not?”

‘Bang!’

The temple exploded!

Feng Zhou quickly scooped up the Little Princess, fearing that debris from the temple might fall on her.

As soon as they got out, the Stargazing Platform collapsed with a roar, and the Star God statue shattered into pieces, leaving only debris.

“Ha… coward, coward!”

[Oh my goodness, the Star God is a coward! He wouldn’t even go to the temple of the Tiansheng Dynasty, even though he exploded his own golden body!]

[He’d rather self-destruct than go!]

[The temple is just sitting there idle. What difference does it make whether the little Star God sits there or somewhere else? Isn’t the temple bigger than the Stargazing Platform?]

Ah Bao muttered to herself.

Just as she finished her thoughts, the remaining piece of the golden statue in the Stargazing Platform shattered into nothing.

It seemed to be trembling in fear.

Was the temple somewhere he could go?

Among all the celestial beings, only that person had the right to sit in the temple!

Anyone who tries will explode.

“Little Princess, please stop talking.” Feng Zhou quickly suggested, feeling that every time the Little Princess spoke, the Stargazing Platform exploded with even more noise.

Ah Bao, dissatisfied, gazed at the sparkling night sky and the cool breeze. She tugged on Feng Zhou’s sleeve. “Follow me!”

“Where to, Little Princess?”

“There!” The Little Princess pointed to the south of the city.

Feng Zhou: …

That place seemed to be…

That night, the inspector from the Astronomical Bureau rushed to the palace with the news of the Stargazing Platform’s explosion.

The Great Tyrant, who was deeply engrossed in handling memorials, had never had an inspector seek him out at night before.

“Your Majesty, this is strange! The Stargazing Platform exploded, and the statue of the Star God was destroyed. It’s all reduced to rubble!” The inspector from the Astronomical Bureau knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears.

Having managed the Astronomical Bureau for years, he firmly believed in celestial phenomena and in the presence of deities above.

The Great Tyrant’s brows furrowed. “Exploded?”

The inspector wiped his tears. “Yes, yes, it exploded. There’s nothing left.”

This made the Great Tyrant recall the events from the previous night…

All seven alchemy workshops in the capital had also exploded.

A small figure appeared in his mind.

Ahem.

“I understand. You may leave now. I will allocate funds to repair the Stargazing Platform and recast the Star God statue.”

Is that all?

The inspector, still shaken, said, “Your Majesty, the explosion of the Stargazing Platform is extraordinary. In the past, such explosions occurred when gods were moved to the temple. Could it be that someone moved the Star God to the temple last night?”

Others might not know, but as an experienced inspector, he was well aware.

The temple did not accept other deities’ statues.

Other celestial beings would not become national deities. Every time something related to the temple happened, it always caused a stir.

Based on past experience, the inspector drew this conclusion.

“Your Majesty, who would have the audacity to move the Star God to the temple at night?”

“Minister, this matter is still inconclusive. Do not make wild guesses.”

The old inspector wanted to offer a few words in defense but was immediately stopped by the Great Tyrant’s wave of the hand. “It’s likely that the Stargazing Platform was old and in disrepair; it was bound to explode sooner or later. We’ll repair it.”

“Your Majesty, the capital’s judge requests an audience.” Eunuch Xi came in to report.

“Your Majesty, there’s bad news. The Temple of the Matchmaker has exploded!” The judge entered, falling to his knees. “Ah, Old Inspector, why are you here so late, seeking the Emperor?”

The two had an old relationship.

The Old Inspector had been on sick leave recently, reportedly bedridden.

Why was he now up and about, coming to the palace?

“Don’t mention it. The Stargazing Platform exploded.”

As soon as he heard this news, the Old Inspector had jumped out of bed.

The two of them came to see the Great Tyrant together.

At this point, the Great Tyrant’s head was starting to throb again.

Was Ah Bao planning to blow up a few more sacred sites tonight?

His precious daughter was causing explosions up front, and as a father, he had to stay behind to protect her and clean up the mess.
