The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 531: Continuing the Ancestral Worship

The atmosphere with the fiancée was harmonious, while on Mu Cheng’s side, no one dared to provoke him.

Except for one or two who grew up with him and came by to visit, everyone else stayed in their places, either reading or playing on their phones.

If they sensed Mu Cheng’s gaze falling on them, they immediately sat upright, straightening their backs. They were afraid of being criticized for their posture and being punished to stand at attention.

There was no way around it. Back then, someone had the audacity to think that since they were the true descendants of the Mu family, and he was merely adopted, why should he participate in ancestor worship?

Too afraid to voice their concerns to the Elders, they tried another approach, hoping to teach him a lesson.

In the end, this guy floored everyone.

When the Elders found out later, they protected no one, saying: "Since you like to fight so much, then go ahead and fight. It’s good for brothers to fight more; the more you fight, the deeper your bonds become."

Everyone: "..." So they deserved the beating?

Thus, the Mu family descendants, having learned their lesson, didn’t dare to bother Mu Cheng. They couldn’t win in a fight, and calling him not a Mu family descendant was futile since he participated in the ancestral rituals and was more qualified than anyone.

Dawn broke slightly.

Fish-belly white.

With an ancient bell ringing, the young and old of the Mu family getting up, donning the Ancient Robe of the Mu family passed down for centuries, took their number tags, and lined up at the courtyard gate.

The line formed two long dragons, marching grandly inside.

This year seemed to be exceptionally different from previous years; not only were the red lanterns on both sides lit, but everyone also received a Jade Token carved with a white rose.

The Jade Token was palm-length, three fingers wide. Besides the rose, it was also carved with their names and tied with a red string.

"Hold it well, don’t lose it. This is something from the ancestors, it brings peace!"

"If you lose it, there’s no replacement, everyone has only one. Ancestors’ things can’t be bought with money."

Every Mu family descendant who received this was given such instructions.

Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized it as flawless White Jade, which would fetch at least five figures in the market.

With such exquisite carvings, the price would be much more.

The only regret is that their own names are carved on the Jade Token, making it inconvenient to sell.

A young Mu family descendant secretly asked Murong, "What’s the special occasion this year? These stingy Elders have become so generous, daring to give away such valuable things. If every Mu family descendant gets one, how much would that cost? When did the Mu family become so rich?"

"If you don’t want it, you can give it to me." Murong replied.

"I didn’t say that, just surprised. I always thought our family heritage was exhausted long ago, this year such a big gesture really scared me. The Mu family is usually so stingy, are we rich or not?"

"If you have the ability, you’re rich. If not, you go hungry! Okay, stop talking, let’s go in."

...

For everyone going in, the Elder at the gate said: they need to check the Jade Token, and the way to check is to pierce your finger and drip a drop of Blood onto the Jade Token.

Some found it odd, but with the placing of the ancients inside, and the Great Elder, who held significant authority, personally leaning on his cane to check, no one wanted to make it difficult for him, so they all complied.

"Hey! Did you see that? It lit up, that person’s Jade Token lit up!" a small voice of excitement reached Murong’s ear.

He looked up, the young person who had just spoken to him was sneakily peeking at the inspection area ahead.

By the gate, under the Great Elder’s command, a young man pierced his finger and dripped Blood onto the Jade Pendant.

Those standing closer could clearly see a ray of white light emitting from the Jade Token, and when the light drifted away from the Jade Token, it floated to the door.

Guarding the entrance, the two beasts’ heads on the door cracked open, silently roaring, swallowing the white light in one gulp.

Murong: "..."

Damn! He only now realized that the two Divine Beasts on the door guarding his ancestors’ place were alive?!

"Hey! Did you see that?"

"See what?"

"The Jade Token lit up! Did my eyes deceive me?"

"No, I also saw the Gate God on the door come alive."

"The Jade Token lighting up is ridiculous enough, how can the Divine Beasts on the door be alive?"

However, this young man would soon realize it was not his imagination, and Murong hadn’t fooled him.

Because Murong had always been ahead of him, so everything Murong experienced, he saw very clearly.

When Murong reached the Great Elder with the Jade Token, the Great Elder, evidently familiar with him, said: "Ah Rong has come too? Haven’t seen you for a while, you’ve made progress again, not disgracing the Mu family, very good. In the future, you should be filial to your Master, never forget that everything you have now was given by your Master."

"Yes, Great Elder."

"You know the rules, do it yourself."

"Yes!" Unlike the others, Murong didn’t need any tools, he just pinched his forefinger with his thumb and middle finger, and a drop of Blood fell onto the Jade Token.

The Jade Token suddenly blossomed with a bunch of Light White Rose, and while everyone was in a daze, the Gate God suddenly let out a roaring explosion: "Roar..."

This roar was definitely not the silent type but resembled a mighty lion’s skyward roar, shaking the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

At that moment, like a caged lion unleashed, a majestic Light Beast appeared with a roar.

It ran over the heads of countless Mu family descendants: "Roar..."

Damn?! Fantasy?!

My eyes must be having illusions.

The Mu family descendants couldn’t believe it.

This scene, etched into their hearts for a long time, shook them to the core. Yet this was merely the beginning.

The Great Elder paused for a moment, "What is this..."

Murong was also a little stunned, perhaps in everyone’s eyes it was just a Light Beast running out, but it wasn’t the same for Murong.

In that instant for them, it felt long for him.

He seemed to enter another dimension, on that blackened earth, where the stars shone brightly, and numerous meteors flew by.

He stood between heaven and earth, so small. He was still in a daze, wasn’t he participating in ancestor worship? How did he end up here?

Then he heard a voice asking him: [Are you of the Mu family?]

"I am!"

Looking up, a massive head in the sky seemed to dominate half the sky, looking a bit like a lion’s head, but more majestic at first glance.

The lion’s head seemed to sniff the air: [You have the aura of the Mu family, no mistake. I haven’t encountered a Mu family member in hundreds of years, I almost forgot what the last member looked like. What’s your name?]
