Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 316 Jade-Faced Rakshasa
Half a day later.

"Oh? Bibi Dong had the angel statue that was removed put back in. She compromised so quickly?"

Lin Rong was somewhat surprised when she heard the news from Yue Guan, but she quickly understood why Bibi Dong had no choice but to do this.

With Yu Xiaogang as a weakness, Bibi Dong will not break ties with Qian Daoliu until she has absolute strength.

"My lord, that's not all. It is said that this angel statue is related to the inheritance of the Angel God. Qian Renxue said it herself, but we don't know if it's true or not."

Yue Guan added a comment from the side.

"Since it is related to the inheritance of angels, we cannot sit idly by, whether it is true or false."

"Aren't they going to put the angel statue back in its original place? Then let's do something to the angel statue."

"Tonight, when it's quiet and the night is still, work on the head of the angel statue. Leave the surface untouched, hollow out the inside, and add a blue-faced, fanged Rakshasa head inside."

"In this way, the angel statue appears to be a holy angel on the surface, but inside it is a hideous demon, all gold and jade on the outside, rotten cotton inside."

"I've heard that Ghostly Carving is quite good, so I'll leave this to him."

"Huh?" Yue Guan was taken aback.

Ghost is skilled in carving? He's been Ghost's best buddy for years, and he's never heard of such a thing.

However, whether the ghost can carve or not is no longer important; completing the task is the most important thing.

After bowing, Yue Guan replied:

"Understood, I will go and convey your orders to Ghostly Spirit."

The fact that the ghost could carve was just something Lin Rong mentioned casually. Whether the ghost actually could or not was irrelevant, because even if the ghost couldn't, it could still complete the task very well.

Rakshasa is a vicious demon with a blue face and fangs. Coincidentally, the martial spirit of Ghostly is Ghost, so it knows how to carve the ferocious image of a demon. This is one reason.

Secondly, Ghost is a titled Douluo of the agility-based attack type. His strength is secondary; his main advantage is his incredibly fast hand speed, which allows him to rework all the angel statues in various parts of Wuhun City overnight.

Finally, if ghosts don't carve, it's noon now, and there's still a long time before nightfall.

During this period, with the learning ability of a Title Douluo, mastering carving quickly would be no problem at all.

Of course, masterpieces require time to accumulate, but a Rakshasa statue only needs to be in a similar shape; it doesn't need to be a masterpiece.

……

Early morning, around midnight.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its gentle moonlight.

However, the clouds were rather thick tonight, and the moonlight was no longer enough to illuminate Wuhun City.

In the pitch-black night, a phantom, unreal shadow swiftly traversed the empty streets, finally stopping at the center of the street intersection.

This is the intersection of a crossroads, and in the center of the intersection stands a six-meter-tall angel statue.

"First objective, begin..."

A deep, faint sound echoed through the street.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of cold light appeared, and the angel statue's head separated from its neck and fell into the ghost's hands.

"Rakshasa, Rakshasa, whose appearance should we use as our model?"

While he was thinking, the ghost had already hollowed out the inside of the angel head with astonishing speed.

"Right, isn't Bibi Dong a descendant of the Rakshasa God? Let's use her face as the prototype for the Rakshasa statue." No sooner said than done, Gui Mei took out white marble of the same material as the angel statue, picked up a carving knife, and began to carve, muttering to himself as he did so:
"The adult said that white marble is called Hanbaiyu in his hometown, but I don't remember that it being called that in the Tiandou Empire."

"Never mind, maybe I'm just ignorant. Before the Lin family became rich, they were just ordinary people. Who knows, in some corner of the mainland, white marble is called Hanbaiyu."

As expected of a titled Douluo of the agility-based attack type, Gui Mei's hand speed was extremely astonishing. In just three or four minutes, he completed the carving of the Rakshasa head statue.

“Oblique oblique oblique, Bibi Dong is indeed a woman of high beauty. Even if she becomes a demon, she is still so beautiful.”

The Rakshasa head statue is slightly smaller than the angel statue, just enough to fill the hollow part inside the angel head statue.

The ghost carefully placed the tampered angel head statue back in its original position, then took out a fresh green leaf and gently swept it over the crack in the statue. The crack healed completely, leaving no trace of the tampering.

"All done. The location of the next angel statue is...where?"

After determining the location, the ghost once again transformed into an illusory phantom and roamed through the empty streets.

……

The Hall of Offerings: A Space for Heritage.

A six-winged angel, holding an angelic holy sword, stood in the very center of the inheritance space.

Colorless and formless power of faith flowed continuously from every corner of the Douluo Continent, constantly converging into the body of this six-winged angel.

After Ghost finished modifying the first angel statue in the Spirit Hall, a small portion of the faith power flowing towards the six-winged angel began to change slightly.

It has become less pure, mixed with a bit of evil power.

As the problematic portion of faith power was absorbed by the six-winged angel, the feeling emanating from the six-winged angel statue underwent a very subtle change.

However, this change was so subtle that even Qian Daoliu could not detect anything unusual.

Unaware of anything amiss, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze to the back of the statue, where the aura emanating from Golden Crocodile Douluo was increasingly approaching that of a legendary god.

"It's coming soon, it's almost here! A brand new era is about to begin, and my Spirit Hall will be the leader of this era. My Qian family lineage will remain the eternal masters of the Spirit Hall!"

……

The Papal Palace, the sleeping quarters.

Beside the bed, Bibi Dong looked at the sleeping Yu Xiaogang. Just as she was about to set off for the Rakshasa Inheritance Space, a majestic and indifferent voice echoed in her mind:

"Corrupting the Angel lineage will reward you with 5% Rakshasa affinity, and the difficulty of the Rakshasa Eight Trials will be halved."

???

"What's going on?" Bibi Dong was completely confused.

She did nothing, so how did she corrupt the angelic lineage?

Although the specific reason is unknown, it doesn't stop Bibi from showing a happy smile.

After enduring so much frustration these past few days, something to be happy about has finally happened.

Bibi Dong believed that whatever the reason the angel lineage had been corrupted, it was their just deserts.

She didn't lift a finger, yet this happened to the angelic lineage, which means that even God is on her side.

"The difficulty of the Rakshasa Eight Trials has been halved. It won't be long before I complete the eighth trial and get one step closer to inheriting the Rakshasa Godhood."

"On such a day worth celebrating, I won't go to the Rakshasa inheritance space to endure the erosion of evil thoughts. Anyway, inheriting the Rakshasa godhood won't make a difference if I have to spend one more night."
