Chapter 457

As his finger tapped, the second episode of *The World's Number One* began to play.

Inside the prison cell, Cheng Cheng Shifei realized he was about to become "incomplete," and he panicked like an ant on a hot pan.

However, the video's bullet comment section was incredibly "heartless."

"Hahahaha, the Eastern Depot needs talent like you!"

"Eunuch Cheng, that title sounds~ very badass!"

"I don't want to have feathers inserted, hahahaha, Cheng Cheng Shifei is such a clown."

"A bit of trivia: after ancient eunuchs were castrated, they relied on feathers to guide urination. The mortality rate for castration in that era was extremely high, and with poor medical conditions, surviving was purely a matter of luck. In the show, Eunuch Sun paying to have people castrated to become eunuchs is logically sound!"

"The Poison King ladies know so much."

"This scene is killing me with laughter!"

"I thought Shangguan Haitang, Tianya, and Guihai Yidao were miserable enough, but I didn't expect Cheng Cheng Shifei to be even worse."

"Zhu Zhu Wushi: Is this really my future Yellow-character Number One Secret Agent?"

"..."

Bullet comments exploded across the screen.

Thousands of households across the Huaxia nation were filled with joyful laughter.

Sure enough.

Human happiness is built upon the suffering of others.

Cheng Cheng Shifei's entrance brought laughter to the audience.

In reality.

This character's impression in the show was mostly that of a comedic relief.

It’s just that the core of comedy is often tragedy.

The audience and the current Cheng Cheng Shifei did not know that Cheng Cheng Shifei was about to meet his biological father—Gu Gu Santong!

In the show.

Cheng Cheng Shifei comforted himself to stay calm, and while comforting himself... he fell asleep.

He really was carefree.

Fortunately, heaven never closes all doors; in his half-dreaming state, Cheng Cheng Shifei fell off the bed and accidentally broke through the stone wall beneath it. It turned out there was a hidden passage here, perhaps his great chance to escape to freedom.

Who knew that after crawling only a short distance along the passage, he would be sucked in by an extremely powerful force.

There, he saw a white-haired old man bound by iron chains, and the stone tablet standing directly in front of the old man with the four characters "Iron-Gall Godly Marquis" written on it.

Only then did Cheng Cheng Shifei realize with shock that the end of this passage was not freedom at all, but the ninth level of the Celestial Prison, specifically used by the imperial court to imprison supreme experts.

And the old man before him was one of the experts defeated by the Godly Marquis.

The old man told Cheng Cheng Shifei that back then, the Godly Marquis had risked a lifelong incurable internal injury to fight his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, but unfortunately, he lost by half a move. He had to keep his promise, accept the loss, and had been locked here by the Godly Marquis for a full twenty years.

Logically, with his cultivation, escaping from here would not be difficult, but he had a promise with the Godly Marquis:

To see the tablet is to see the person; as long as the four characters "Iron-Gall Godly Marquis" appeared, he could not advance half a step anywhere, which is why he had been trapped until now.

For many years, the Godly Marquis would send a Wu Lin expert in every two years to test if his martial arts had regressed. Over time, the martial arts and internal energy of the experts from the Eight Great Sects had all been sucked dry by him.

Speaking of this, Cheng Cheng Shifei realized belatedly who the old man was.

The old man was none other than the Invincible Playful Child Gu Gu Santong, who had been defeated by the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis twenty years ago!

In this world, only he knew the Star-Sucking Great Art that could absorb others' internal energy, but Gu Gu Santong did not know that the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis also knew it.

This was a technique Gu Gu Santong had obtained from the Heavenly Pool Freak. Because the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis had taught Gu Gu Santong the Shaolin Sect's Flicking Flower Finger, he felt this person was a good friend to associate with, so he had intentionally taught him this technique from the Heavenly Pool Freak.

As for himself, because he looked down on taking shortcuts, he focused on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

It was just that Gu Gu Santong did not expect this to lead to the tragedy of his life.

Back to the main topic.

Cheng Cheng Shifei had heard of Gu Gu Santong's great name and looked at Gu Gu Santong with a face full of shock.

Who knew that at this moment, Gu Gu Santong would start channeling his energy without explanation, blowing off Cheng Cheng Shifei's clothes, and using powerful internal energy to suck him in.

Cheng Cheng Shifei was terrified: "Ah, pervert, help!"

But Gu Gu Santong did not stop; instead, he pursed his lips as if to kiss.

This part of the plot was somewhat unsuitable for children, leaving the kids watching in total confusion.

The adults, however, understood instantly, their gossiping hearts flaring up.

Instantly, the bullet comments boiled over:

"Holy crap!"

"Gu Gu Santong actually has this sexual orientation?"

"Is it this lewd and violent?"

"Mom, the taste is really heavy!"

"The scene is too beautiful, I dare not imagine it!"

"So horny!"

"66666, what kind of god-tier imagination does the screenwriter have!"

"Censors: You guys are really brave!"

"Damn it, why did I understand it instantly, so shameful!"

"It's normal to think so, after all, Gu Gu Santong has been locked up for twenty years!"

"I didn't expect you to be such an expert!"

0

"..."

But in the next five seconds, the audience realized they were the ones who were impure and had thought wrong. It turned out Gu Gu Santong was not into men; he knew he was about to die, and before dying, he passed on his lifelong cultivation, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, and the martial arts he had learned from the experts of the Eight Great Sects to Cheng Cheng Shifei.

"Is this Star-Sucking Great Art really not the Wedding Dress Divine Art? It's so similar."

"It probably isn't as powerful as the Wedding Dress Divine Art. Think about how powerful Lady Jiang Lady Jiang Yuyan was after obtaining the Flower-Shifting Grafting? Yet Gu Gu Santong, who mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and the Star-Sucking Great Art, was still not the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis's opponent!"

"A generation of supreme experts, only wanting to find a successor before death, it's truly sigh-inducing."

"I feel like there must be a very deep story between him and Zhu Zhu Wushi."

"Cheng Cheng Shifei hit the jackpot!"

"From now on, there's another location for fortuitous encounters—the Celestial Prison!"

After passing on the martial arts.

Before dying, Gu Gu Santong wanted Cheng Cheng Shifei to call him Master, but Cheng Cheng Shifei said, "You tell me to call you that, so I call you that? Do you think you're my dad?"

He did not know that his words would become a prophecy.

Gu Gu Santong really was his dad.

Gu Gu Santong told Cheng Cheng Shifei that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art could only be used five times in a lifetime; every time it was used, a bloodstain would appear on the palm, and using it a sixth time would cause the body to explode and die.

Furthermore, he told Cheng Cheng Shifei to defeat the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, then find a woman named "Suxin" and tell her on his behalf, "I love her very much."

After saying this, the light in Gu Gu Santong's eyes gradually dimmed. A hero of the Wu Lin generation had thus breathed his last.

Cheng Cheng Shifei felt quite emotional; having grown up seeing the coldness of the world, this was the first time someone had been so good to him.

He kowtowed three times to Gu Gu Santong and acknowledged him as his "godfather."

The following plot.

The audience once suspected that Cheng Cheng Shifei had obtained a script for a power fantasy.

After escaping the Celestial Prison, Cheng Cheng Shifei entered the palace and "hooked up" with the Emperor's own sister, Princess Princess Yunluo.

Immediately after, he and Princess Yunluo disguised themselves and left the palace, returning to the casino to vent the anger he had once suffered there.

At the same time, he also used Princess Yunluo's identity to hand over Zhang Zhang Laosan, who had framed him and almost got him castrated, to Eunuch Sun.

They did not know that in the palace, a world-shaking event had occurred!

The Empress Dowager was missing!
