The Dead Burn Incense, Puppets Sit in the Hall

In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.

For instance, when engag...

Chapter 430 You are still too young

Fortunately, the big yellow dog didn't ask to be his godfather, otherwise... otherwise the young general would most likely have agreed immediately.

After all, experiencing having multiple sons of different species would be hard for him to resist, given his personality.

He couldn't resist his dog son, but the young general clearly didn't want to recognize Li Mao as his godson.

The reason for his hesitation was that he was figuring out how to refuse without hurting Li Mao too much.

To reiterate, the young general is simply a bit foolish and unethical, but definitely not a bad person.

"Hey Li Mao, look, we're about the same age, not even decades apart. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Besides, I'm so handsome, and you're so ugly... your handsomeness isn't very obvious."

"Besides, we don't even share the same surname, do we?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mao was taken aback at first, but then immediately grasped the "key point" of the problem.

"Don't worry, godfather, it's just a surname, I'll change it right now!"

"From now on, my name is Chen Mao! Not only will I change my surname to Chen, but my son will also take the surname Chen!"

"If you're still not satisfied, I'll have my dad and grandpa change it too!"

"So, to show my sincerity and determination, I'll take a chisel and chisel away my grandfather's tombstone, and change it to Chen Lianying's name. What do you think?!"

Li Mao's resolute decision completely shocked the young general.

He, who usually leaves others speechless, was slightly at a loss for words for the first time.

"No, we don't need to go this far, do we?"

"Now that you've done this, if we don't make you our son, we'd feel like we'd be letting you down... letting down your grandpa..."

Upon hearing what the young general said, Li Mao quickly seized the opportunity and kowtowed even more vigorously.

"Godfather, on behalf of my grandfather, I thank you for the blessings of your ancestors for eight generations!"

Young General: "..."

......

Despite some setbacks, the young general managed to adopt Li Mao as his godson and didn't actually make him change his surname.

Of course, they didn't change Li Mao's grandfather's surname... nor did they change the tombstone.

The moment the young general nodded in agreement, countless visible and invisible benefits poured in for Li Mao and his family.

First, there's Li Mao's grandfather—Old Master Li Lianying.

Because he preached that foreign religions could not be reincarnated, he was immediately enveloped by a guiding light and pulled to the underworld for trial... and then reincarnated.

All that was left were the neighbors he had cheated, lying in the graves, dumbfounded.

Secondly, there were Li Mao's wife and son: originally just ordinary people, they were immediately surrounded by a large amount of good karma.

From then on, everything went smoothly for them, they lived a long and healthy life, and turned misfortune into good fortune.

Especially Li Mao's son, who actually has two indescribable giant ghosts protecting him 24 hours a day.

Let me put it this way, from now on, it'll be hard to even trip and fall!

Of course, the one who benefited the most was his godson himself... Li Mao himself.

At this moment, the young general, with a "what's the worst that could happen?" attitude, stared at Li Mao with dead fish eyes.

Only when Li Mao felt uneasy did he finally grin and ask.

"Oh ho ho, you really died? We were right the other day, hehe."

"Is dying fun?"

Li Mao smiled obsequiously, like a chubby translator: "It's alright, godfather, it's quite fun."

“We originally had a body made of paper, which Quantum made for us.”

"It can even turn into an airplane so people can shoot at it... It's just afraid of fire; Eggboy accidentally set it on fire just now..."

"Really?" The young general immediately became interested upon hearing this, especially the part about turning into an airplane and "shooting" it for fun.

However, after hearing what happened, his interest waned.

"So it was you who turned into an airplane and got shot off... Being afraid of fire is a problem, we know that ourselves."

“Come inside with us, little hat, and we’ll get you a new body.”

"Don't follow me, and don't peek!"

......

Half a day later, the young general didn't greet anyone and rode off on his backward-walking corpse, yelling "Ula ulterior motive!"

Li Mao walked out of the room with a constipated expression.

Curious, Zhao Youliang's gang immediately surrounded him, scrutinizing Li Mao from head to toe.

"Little Li, is this the new body that the young general made for you?"

"What is this body made of? Isn't it fireproof?"

Li Mao felt a little guilty when asked: "My godfather folded it for me with fireproof paper, so it shouldn't burn, right... Or, Egg Boy, why don't you flick some cigarette ash on it and see?"

Chang Jie wasn't stupid; he wouldn't give Li Mao the chance to stage an accident. So, he shook his chubby little head dejectedly to indicate his refusal.

He would even roll the cigarette butt in one go, putting the remaining third into his mouth, refusing to exhale even as smoke billowed from his ears and nose.

"Fireproof paper is still just paper..." The country bumpkin Zhao Youliang was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. He had thought that the young general would come up with something high-end.

"Little Li, besides giving you a new body, what other good things did the young general give you?"

"Hurry up and show it to us!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mao's constipated expression deepened.

After some hesitation, he reluctantly took out a cannon—a real, gleaming cannon!

"I, I, I'll go!"

Upon seeing the real thing, Zhao Youliang's gang was so shocked they were speechless.

"As expected of a big shot, he gave you a real cannon?!"

"Ordinary ghosts can't withstand this thing... not even backward-walking corpses!"
