38 Our Ancestor, Treasure of the Liu Family

Liu Sanhai and Liu Dahai gathered around the coffin and looked at Liu Fan with their eyes lit up.

They had established some mysterious tie with Liu Fan based on their telepathy.

"Let me try!"

Liu Dahai shouted expectantly, "Rise!"

Liu Fan had no choice but to cooperate with Liu Dahai's strength and stood up from the coffin.

Liu Fan was unable to move initially. However, after the refinement, he was able to move as a battle puppet thanks to the energy of the person who refined him.

He was too powerful physically. A simple move like standing up caused Liu Dahai to use up all his energy, so he fell onto the ground.

However, Liu Dahai did not mind at all. Instead, he laughed excitedly and was so excited that his entire face flushed red.

"Hahaha, we really managed to refine our ancestor into a battle puppet!"

Liu Sanhai nodded and was also extremely excited.

He carefully sensed that he too was able to control the ancestor and tried it out. He shouted, "Lie down!"

Liu Fan fell back into the coffin.

"Wow, I can control our ancestor!"

Liu Sanhai was excited.

He exchanged glances with Liu Dahai and continued to try it out, but then they realized that Liu Fan was not moving.

"What's happening?!"

"Why does it only work occasionally?!"

Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai stared at each other.

They were confused!

Liu Fan lay comfortably in the coffin and was watching his descendants in disdain.

'I cooperated with you two because I didn't want to embarrass you.'

'If I didn't want to move, you will never be able to control me.'

"It seems that we made some mistakes during the refinement. Our ancestor tends to malfunction occasionally!"

Liu Dahai made a conclusion.

"It's alright. Whenever we have time in the future, we can try and refine our ancestor!" Liu Sanhai suggested. "Practice makes perfect!"

"Smart!"

"Haha, this Elder of ours is really smart!"

Both of them laughed and closed the coffin cover. They packed up and opened the door of the ancestral temple.

At this moment, Liu Tao arrived.

Both of them hurriedly burned incense sticks and incense paper and kowtowed to pretend that they were paying their respects to their ancestor.

"Wa! First Elder and Third Elder, both of you are really early today!"

Liu Tao was surprised as he did not expect the two of them to arrive earlier than him.

"All thanks to our ancestor, our family was able to avoid getting into trouble multiple times. We should come earlier to pay our respects to our ancestor!" Liu Dahai said sincerely and gave a stern look.

They made a bow to Liu Fan's spirit tablet.

Liu Fan was speechless.

That was because there were no respect points from either of them at all.

That meant that they were not sincere at all when they said that sentence!

However, Liu Tao was very satisfied. All this while, it had seemed that Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai did not respect their ancestor.

Now, it seemed that they had changed a lot.

That was a good sign.

"Our ancestor is the treasure of our family. We have to treat him well! We will pay our respects to him whenever we are free!" Liu Tao said, and Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai nodded in agreement.

They volunteered to stay overnight as watchmen for their ancestor for the next month.

"It must be very lonely for our ancestor to sleep alone in the ancestral temple. We will stay with him as his watchmen from now on. We can also keep a lookout of the surroundings," Liu Dahai suggested.

Liu Tao was very heartened as he agreed.

Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai exchanged gazes and saw the smirk in each others' eyes.

As long as they were able to stay with their ancestor every night, they would have enough time to practice controlling their ancestor.

Very quickly, they would be able to control him easily.

The sky brightened.

The Liu clan began to get to work.

In the courtyard, some family members began to sweep the leaves on the ground. The sound of the Scythe Army was heard from the neighboring unit. Farther away, one could hear the sound of construction for the expansion of the houses.

The whole place felt extremely lively.

The handful of Elders had arrived in the ancestral temple.

They were holding the feasibility reports that they had produced the previous night.

Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai had completed theirs after they returned home the previous night. They took their reports out too.

"Read it in front of our ancestor! State your commitment and put your thumbprint on it!" said Liu Tao. He looked at Liu Dahai and said, "Starting from our First Elder!"

Liu Dahai stepped forward in front of the spirit tablet of Liu Fan and began to read his feasibility report.

He was in charge of the expansion of the Liu family.

In his report, he mentioned his ambitious plan of wanting to rebuild the Liu family home into a grand and spectacular mansion like the Lord Governor's Mansion. He also wanted to build three fortresses and have 1000 soldiers to guard the Liu family. He wanted to build a nine-story stone tower for the ancestral temple and build a nine-step altar under the tower.

"Then, we can put the spirit tablet of our ancestor on the ninth level of the stone tower, so he can bless our Liu family for 1000 more years!"

After reading that, Liu Dahai made his vow. In order to prove his sincerity, he said after thinking about it, "Please witness this, Ancestor! I, Liu Dahai, will definitely complete the task!"

This was said for Liu Tao to hear.

In the coffin, Liu Fan was happy after hearing what Liu Dahai had described.

According to Liu Dahai's description, Liu Fan would be able to relocate soon. His new residence would be a nine-story stone tower. He would be able to see in all directions the entire City of Scorpio.

He had the right to stay in a luxurious house even though he was a corpse!

"Liu Dahai is a good man. However, he only pays lip service. I should give him a warning."

Liu Fan kept silent and his spirit swept over the ancestral temple.

Immediately, the wind blew and the oil lamps in the ancestral temple began to flicker.

The people were shocked. Liu Wuhai shouted in surprise, "It must be our ancestor!"

Liu Liuhai continued, "Indeed, First Elder wants to build a nine-story stone tower for our ancestor. Our ancestor is very heartened to hear this and responded!"

Liu Dahai sneered. Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai were both fools. The ancestor had already become a battle puppet, so how would he be able to do that?

Although that was what went through his mind, he still pretended to be shocked and excited and bowed to Liu Fan's spirit tablet.

That was because Liu Tao was looking at him while smiling.

He was not sure when he'd begun to fear Liu Tao.

Liu Fan looked at the top of Liu Dahai's head and did not see any respect points. He immediately came up with a plan.

"The Rage of the Ancestor — the Spell of Promises! Go!"

With the Spell of Promises cast on him, Liu Dahai would have to fulfill everything he'd promised!

Liu Dahai liked to boast but did not put words into action. This spell was the most suitable for him.

Liu Dahai suddenly felt that his body was warm, and his head was bombarded by memories when he straightened his body from a bow.

He suddenly realized that he had made too many promises in the past but had not fulfilled them.

Strangely, he felt extremely remorseful.

This emotion grew rapidly and swallowed him up in the end.

"Thump!"

He suddenly slapped himself, raised his head, and shouted, "F*ck, I am really terrible! I have made so many empty promises! I am only good at talking!"
