Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 869 The Substitute Bride (31)

Lady Wang's eyes were only on Wang Yuhuan, and she chose to temporarily ignore Wang Hong's infidelity, and even decided to put aside the matter of the dowry.

After all, nothing is more important to her than her daughter.

Xiong Bufan stayed at the Wang family's house for two days before continuing his search for the author's consciousness.

Using both his sense of smell and his intuition, Xiong Bufan spent three or four days wandering around the capital and finally confirmed that the author's consciousness was in the imperial palace. That very night, he sneaked in.

For Xiong Bufan, the imperial palace was a place to make a fortune, so while searching for the author's consciousness, Xiong Bufan also took the opportunity to collect all the treasures in the palaces.

They thoroughly implemented the principle of "a thief never leaves empty-handed, a goose plucks a feather as it flies by, and an ant leaves its leg behind."

Kongkong felt that Xiong Bufan had deliberately staged the robbery, but she had no evidence.

Fearing the author's consciousness might escape, Xiong Bufan, after the robbery, went straight to the place with the strongest smell without even resting—the emperor's private treasury.

The emperor's private treasury was heavily guarded, but it had never been able to stop Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan rushed in effortlessly. The private vault was just as Xiong Bufan remembered—full of wealth and equally well-hidden.

There's no reason not to accept money when it's right in front of you.

Xiong Bufan put all the gold, silver, jade, and gemstones in her space, while leaving the calligraphy and paintings that she considered worthless aside.

"That old emperor was too greedy."

Kongkong: "Extraordinary, this is a treasure accumulated by three generations of the royal family."

"Oh, now I'm in luck."

Xiong Bufan had been poor for several years, but now he was finally rich. Xiong Bufan didn't know how he felt, probably the same as Fan Jin when he passed the imperial examination.

The emperor's private treasury was full of treasures. After rummaging through the treasures for a while, Xiong Bufan finally remembered his business and began to search for the author's consciousness.

Xiong Bufan flipped the calligraphy and painting aside, and at the very bottom of the calligraphy and painting, there was a scroll that was glowing with iridescent colors.

Xiong Bufan sensed that the scroll was somewhat dangerous, so he took out his broadsword and slashed at it.

If you think something is dangerous, just destroy it.

Just as the horizontal blade was about to fall onto the scroll, it suddenly stopped, and no matter how hard Xiong Bufan tried, he couldn't cut it down.

Xiong Bufan was too lazy to argue, so he picked up his sword, mustered his strength, and slashed down again, this time with all his might.

The scroll remained still, and the surrounding light focused on the blade, preventing Xiong Bufan from injuring it.

Xiong Bufan slashed more than a dozen times in one go, but it still didn't work.

He wasn't tired, but he was really annoyed. Xiong Bufan had never seen such a sturdy scroll before.

So Xiong Bufan planned to release an electric dragon to destroy him, so that he wouldn't be unable to kill him.

The scroll finally spoke, "Spare my life! Why are you so hostile towards me?"

Xiong Bufan: "You were the one who was so hostile to me first. I was just enjoying my life, and you hurt my servants, burned down my house, and made me run around like a dog. If I don't beat you, who will I beat?" After saying that, Xiong Bufan began to gather his strength again.

"You're wronging me. Besides, this is a conflict between me and my unfilial son. Don't get involved."

Xiong Bufan sensed something was amiss, put away his sword, and sat down three meters away from the scroll. "Who is your unfilial son?"

"You'd better call him out here so I can have a look at you, or I'll chop you up."

Kongkong: "Extraordinary, the rebellious son mentioned in the scroll should be the consciousness born from the book itself."

Many novelists like to treat their books like their own children.

Xiong Bufan: "Oh, I've never seen the consciousness that arises in the book."

Kongkong: "She's here."

Before she could finish speaking, a phantom sat down beside the scroll and said gently, "In this matter, you have lost, Mother."

Xiong Bufan: ? ? ? What's going on?

The scroll began to complain, "You cheated."

The phantom said, "Mother, there's nothing we can do about it. We've already sought outside help, but the people you found were too incompetent."

Hearing this, Xiong Bufan felt a little proud and quietly asked Kongkong, "Is this a compliment to me?"

Kongkong: "Yes."

The scroll didn't want to talk about this topic and started to change the subject, "Wouldn't it be better if we just coexisted peacefully? Would I ever harm you?"

I revised the article so that more people would like us.

The phantom looked at the scroll and said, "You're mistaken. I wasn't created because of this."

The scroll was stunned when she heard this; she had never expected this outcome. "Then why are you opposing me?"

Upon hearing this, the phantom became agitated. "You claim to love women, but you're actually a seductive man. I just don't understand what the woman did to offend you."

Also, you keep stopping updating when you have nothing to do, drastically revising your work—you've revised a novel of tens of thousands of words a hundred or two hundred times, trying every style imaginable. Have you really run out of inspiration?

Xiong Bufan doesn't read novels, but he listens to audiobooks. He was a little confused as he listened to the two talking.

Upon hearing this, the scroll unconsciously began to defend itself, "What does this have to do with you? This is my book."

The phantom: "But this is still my world."

The scroll reads: "This is the world I created; if anyone's going to die, it's you."

"You die, you die."

"You're the one who's dead."

.......

Xiong Bufan didn't expect the argument to turn into a bunch of childish squabbles, and he immediately felt it was a bit boring, but he figured he might as well watch the show.

Kongkong: "Not ordinary. It seems that the consciousness in this book is mixed with the readers' dissatisfaction with the author. The current consciousness is the result of two kinds of mental power being combined together."

Xiong Bufan still gave a vague "Oh."

The phantom seemed unable to surpass the scroll, and walked up to Xiong Bufan, saying, "If you kill her, I will share the world with you."

Xiong Bufan had a brilliant idea: "Why should I listen to you?" After saying that, Xiong Bufan took out his sword, infused it with spiritual power, and released an electric dragon that went straight for the scroll and the phantom.

The two entities vying for power are causing losses to the lives within the small world and to the rescue teams that have been called in.

So rather than letting them seize power here, it's better to get rid of them and let the small world generate new consciousness on its own.

The phantom had never seen anything like this before and screamed, "What are you going to do? Don't forget, I'm the one who brought you here."

Not content with releasing one electric dragon, Xiong Bufan immediately released a second one, saying ruthlessly, "So what? Haven't you heard that it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away?"

The phantom figure swiftly attacked Xiong Bufan. She wouldn't allow anyone to betray her, no matter how strong that person was.

Xiong Bufan kicked out, sending the phantom flying towards the dragon's head. The phantom was then dispersed by the electric dragon.

The scroll wanted to escape, but it didn't have long legs, and could only disappear into the emperor's private treasury along with the surrounding paintings.

Xiong Bufan: "A pair of good-for-nothings."
