As he began to become proficient with using Tendon Changing Classic, Happy was gradually able to break free of the wild silk, but only a little. He forcibly held his breath before he made himself sink down with his full weight. With one whoosh, he was then sent flying in the opposite direction like a dumpling toward the ceiling. He used hidden force in his hands and seized the ceiling.

Once it lost the weight it had to bear, the wild silk instantly became much more pliant. The force they used to bind Happy also became weaker.

At that moment, Happy struggled with great force and broke free from the cage.

The wild silk also disentangled itself from Happy with a plop. Then, like a small net that lost its use and purpose, it landed on the floor gently.

‘Well, I suppose it can be considered as a demon vessel as well.’

Happy had pretty good observational skills, and he grabbed that wild silk in his hands.

[Wild Silk Net:

[A trap. Middle-grade demon vessel. It is abnormally pliant and sturdy, making it hard to destroy. It can be used repeatedly. Once it binds its target, it can limit its enemy’s movements, and it can also suppress body fortifications to deal damage to its target. If you sell it at a shop, you can exchange it for a large sum of money.]

‘Lucky!’

Even though he was bound, it was a blessing in disguise. The realm for his Tendon Changing Classic changed, and his Affinity also increased by a large margin. Now, he found a demon vessel, and he can be considered to have gained quite a lot of rewards.

Of course, this Wild Silk Net can only be considered as an additional, unexpected reward. He still had not touched the real treasures in the house.

When he put away Wild Silk Net, Happy carefully surveyed his surroundings and searched for every spot that might hide treasures. Even though a large number of traps had been triggered just now, he could not be certain that there were no other dangers lurking around.

After looking around the area once, Happy walked to two boxes which were already open.

One of them was a jewelry box. It coughed up red powder just now, and it should be safe this time.

A hidden force shot out.

Slap!

The box was opened once more.

There was a golden hair stick inside, and it was incredibly dazzling and exquisite. It was also so sharp at one end that it shone brilliantly. By the looks of it, it was not a normal accessory.

[Tang Xiaodie’s Hair stick: Unique hidden weapon. Demon vessel.

[There is an amazing poison on the hair stick, and once it is fired, it will locate its target. It will attack the attack from all directions accurately. Has defense breaking effect and poison effect. The damage is also incredible.]

‘Hair stick… Attack from all directions?’

Happy observed the stick in his hands for quite some time before he managed to see the secret behind it.

One end of the hair stick was clearly made skillfully with the tail feathers from a phoenix, and it was bound together with countless perfect, arc-shaped, golden leaves scattered here and there. However, what puzzled him was the principle behind how these things were bound together.

But he got his second demon vessel, which was good.

He put the item away, and Happy cast a glance at the other slightly larger box. Since it remained open, he could see what was inside with just one glance. It was only a rather large Origin Leopard Pill.

Happy did not further observe it. He just put it away.

At that moment, he could no longer find any other place in the hall that could hide any sort of treasures.

Even though he had the urge to dig deep into the ground to see whether there were any other treasures around, when he thought about the possibility that he might end up causing uncontrollable situations if he did something major, he suppressed the urge and went into the room next door.

The flames in the other room had already died away, but the doors and windows were still shut. There should be no items inside, and Happy did not intend to go in and choke on ashes, so he went to the last room which had not been activated yet in the house.

*****

Happy entered a study.

When he saw dozens of books placed on the shelf, he became slightly excited and wary. This was a great temptation, and because of it, it was clear that this was a trap.

Besides, the names of the books could easily make a person excrete way too much adrenaline in their system.

Nine Solitary Swords, Thunderous Sword under the Sun, Nine Yin Manual, Bodhidharma Staff Technique.

‘That’s too fake. There’s no way a barbaric merchant will be so generous as to leave behind Nine Yin Manual and Nine Solitary Swords for Chinese martial artists.’

The shelf was either a joke by the barbaric merchant, ior a very clear death trap. It was the same as the other room.

After casting it one glance, Happy resolutely chose to ignore everything on the shelf. He surveyed the room before his gaze landed on a rather interesting picture and a bed.

His eyes fell on the picture for a moment.

‘Madam Wang?’

Happy had surprise appear on his face.

Happy saw the woman in the picture before. At the moment he saw it, he felt as if he was staring at Madam Wang herself again right then.

Madam Wang, the mistress of Mantuo Villa, and also Wang Yuyan’s mother.

Even though she looked the same as Wang Yuyan, there was no way Happy will think that the person in the picture was Wang Yuyan, to whom the young Duan Yu had successfully courted and was now a woman with a husband.

*****

Compared to the countless ultimate technique manuals on the shelf, the portrait hanging on the wall appeared to be very inconspicuous, and it successfully attracted Happy’s attention.

Because the portrait was alone, and there were no other decorations like a statue made out of whide jade beside it. It looked incredibly normal.

If he had not met Madam Wang herself, there was a possibility that Happy will go over and lift the portrait to see whether there was any trap behind the wall.

Happy walked over cautiously and picked up the portrait.

It was empty behind the wall. There was absolutely nothing behind it.

‘I knew it.’ Happy had a thought appear in his head, and his gaze landed on the portrait again.

It was a normal portrait of a beauty.

But if a player thought that the person in the portrait was a very familiar face, the player might fetch a high price in a shop. If the player can find a person who knew this woman, perhaps he or she can get even more rewards.

‘Those who sell it to the shop are idiots.’ Happy giggled happily.

He walked to the bed.
