Chapter 475: How about exploring an ancient grave?
At first, Song Shuhang wanted to use something else to carry out the transaction with this businesswoman named Le’er. Even if everyone couldn’t do without it in their lives, it felt a bit rude to bring up something like money under these circumstances.
However, amongst the things Song Shuhang had with him, there was nothing that was suitable for Miss Le’er.
After pondering for a moment, he decided that if it was of poor taste, so be it. At this time, he had no choice but to use money to solve the matter.
"I don’t know the exact value of this pearl. Is it fine if I give you 100,000 RMB now and add the remaining difference in price later when I ask my friend to properly assess the value of this thing?" Song Shuhang delivered the big strap of money to Le’er.
"Pfff~" Le’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after seeing that strap of money. "You carried such a big a strap of money while leaving home? Isn’t that a bit suspicious?"
"About that, my friends and I were planning to go on a vacation on an island abroad. Since the island was outside of China’s borders, it would be quite troublesome to withdraw money. Therefore, I simply decided to bring quite a bit of cash with me," Song Shuhang explained.
"Still, you’re quite amusing," Le’er said with a smile. She took the strap of money and said, "In that case, you can consider the transaction to be over. As for the remaining money, don’t mention it! Otherwise, I will get angry!"
"Alright... thanks," Song Shuhang said earnestly.
From the looks of it, this Miss Le’er didn’t seem to be someone that lacked money.
Now, Song Shuhang owned a favor and had to bear it in mind.
❄️❄️❄️
After Song Shuhang returned to his seat, Tubo stared at the pearl in his hand and asked, "Shuhang, what is that thing?"
"I don’t know," Song Shuhang replied.
"You still bought it even if you don’t know?" Tubo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"It’s something very valuable. I’m sure of it," Song Shuhang said with a smile. Then, he cautiously stored the pearl in his clothes.
But right at this time...
"Bang!"
The front door of the dining room was pushed open.
A figure quickly barged into the dining room and trotted next to Song Shuhang.
"Senior Song, I’ve finally found you!" the figure said with a smile as it grabbed Song Shuhang’s arm. "Senior Song, let’s go. Senior White told me to come over and pick you up. The cultivators’ street market is about to start!"
"Eh? Soft Feather? Wait a moment, I’m still eating!" Song Shuhang called out.
"There is no time, we have to go immediately!" Soft Feather grabbed Song Shuhang and started to run.
Soft Feather had already reached the peak of the Third Stage, and Song Shuhang had no means to resist her. Therefore, he was dragged along just like that~
After running up to the entrance of the dining room, Soft Feather suddenly thought of something.
She turned her head around and waved at Gao Moumou, Tubo, and the others, saying, "Right, I remember you. You are Senior Song’s roommates, right? Hahaha, Senior Song and I have a matter we need to attend to. Therefore, we’ll leave first! In a while, I’ll look for you so that we can have some fun together!"
After saying this much, she didn’t wait for Gao Moumou and the others to reply and run away while dragging Song Shuhang along.
"..." Gao Moumou.
"..." Tubo.
"There is something wrong!" Tubo pounded the table and shouted, "Isn’t that girl with long legs the one that Song Shuhang said was his other elder sister? Why was she calling him ’senior’?"
"She must be his girlfriend, right?" Yayi said. "After looking at the interaction between Song Shuhang and her, I’m sure that their relationship isn’t that of an elder sister and a younger brother. Both an elder sister and a senior, huh...? Is it possible that she and Song Shuhang are having fun while role-playing between lovers?"
"Role-playing between lovers? Like, today she’s an elder sister, and tomorrow she will become someone of the younger generation? And after a few days, she’ll become his secretary, and so on? I can’t believe that Song Shuhang would play such a shameful game," Gao Moumou said as he clenched his teeth. He and Yayi hadn’t ever done something like this!
❄️❄️❄️
Soft Feather dragged Song Shuhang along and reached the seashore. Then, she climbed on the water scooter.
"Senior Song, get on. I’ll drive!" Soft Feather said excitedly.
Song Shuhang probed, "Do you know how to drive?"
"Of course. It was me who drove all the way here!" Soft Feather smiled and said, "Senior Song, don’t look down on me. Whether it’s a plane or a car, as long as it’s a means of transportation, I can drive it. Anyway, hold tight onto me. The speed might be a bit fast."
Song Shuhang’s cautiously stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Soft Feather’s clothes.
Then, Soft Feather started operating the water scooter.
And its speed truly shocked Song Shuhang... it was going at 20 km/h at most!
Was this what Soft Feather meant by ’the speed might a bit fast’?
"Ah! The formation expired," Soft Feather said disgruntled. "These modern means of transportation are very fragile. After you add a formation to them and it expires, they turn into scrap. They aren’t as durable as hand-guided tractors. Anyway, forget it. There is not that much of a distance. We might as well proceed slowly."
"Ahaha, it’s fine. Going slowly is very safe!" Song gave the thumbs up. It was truly great that this thing wasn’t going super fast.
"Right, Senior Song. Senior White told me to return this phone to you. The modification process has been completed. As long as you’re on Earth, you’ll be able to receive signal unless a powerful formation is causing interference." Soft Feather turned her body around and delivered the smartphone to Song Shuhang.
"The modification process has been completed? So fast?" Song Shuhang said as he received his mobile phone. It was like meeting a family member once again.
Since the speed of the vehicle wasn’t too fast, Song Shuhang relaxed and swiped on the screen of the phone, opening the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
"Ding!"
System Notification: Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather shared an MP3 file.
"Soft Feather, what did you share?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. But in the meantime, he had already clicked on the MP3 file.
"It’s that song Senior Creation sang earlier. I felt that it was very pleasant to hear. Therefore, I recorded it and shared it within the group," Soft Feather replied without turning her head.
"..." Song Shuhang.
Mom!
I have to quickly turn it off before the music starts!
However, his ’slow reaction speed disease’ flared up once again. Although he clicked several times, he failed to stop the music from playing.
Why is my goddamn hand so useless?
In the next moment...
Ding dong~ lalalala~
It’s easy to dodge an open spear~
but hard to ward off a hidden arrow~
I’m standing on top of the city walls~
looking downward at the attackers at the gate~
Ooooooh~
The unique voice that belonged to Dharma King Creation, the Soul King, exploded.
July 22th, 2019. Monday, the weather was clear.
Fellow Daoist Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman... died.
Luckily, this time he heard the voice of the Soul King through a recording, and there wasn’t any sound wave attack. This allowed Fellow Daoist Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman to die in a rather peaceful manner without suffering too much. He managed to find fortune amidst misfortune.
❄️❄️❄️
However, Song Shuhang wasn’t the only one to ’die’ this time.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Island Master Tian Tiankong: "My HP bar is already empty..."
Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei: "I died in action together with my stupid elder brother..."
Treasure Forging Heavenly Mansion’s Yang Xian: "My... my ears..."
Fairy Firefly: "No, I can’t die yet... I have to do a favor to all humanity! @Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, @True Monarch Yellow Mountain, @Daluo Sect’s True Monarch Rain Moon, @Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, @Su Clan’s Seven ... come out! You absolutely can’t miss this beautiful song!"
Very soon, several seniors popped out after they were summoned.
Fifteen seconds later...
[System Notification: Fairy Firefly was muted by the administrator of the group, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, for 1 day.]
[System Notification: Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather was muted by the administrator of the group, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, for 1 day.]
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue: "Dammit, Dharma King Creation’s voice exploded so suddenly that I wasn’t able to guard in the least. The poor ears of this Venerable! Fairy Firefly, did Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless hack into your account or something?"
Stressed by a Mountain of Books: "..."
At the same time, Song Shuhang poked Soft Feather and said, "Soft Feather, you were muted."
"Eeeh? Why? I didn’t do anything bad! Who muted me?" Soft Feather said resentfully.
"It was Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue," Song Shuhang said with a bitter smile on his face.
"Why did he mute me?" Soft Feather called out.
"The reason is that MP3 file you sent earlier," Song Shuhang replied.
"Why is that? It was such a spicy and pleasant to hear music. I was so good to share it with the seniors in the group, and they didn’t even appreciate it," Soft Feather said as she pouted her lips, her expression unhappy.
"..." Song Shuhang.
A spicy and pleasant to hear music? Did Soft Feather’s music-related cell develop the wrong way? From which viewpoint can she like such a fearsome song?
Soft Feather kept pouting her lips and firmly swore, "The next time, I absolutely won’t share good music with the seniors."
After hearing these words, Song Shuhang felt quite relieved.
At the same time, he swiped on the screen of his smartphone and gazed at ’Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ who had just sent a message.
He couldn’t help but recall that dream from yesterday where the disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect, She Lan, was exploring Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s grave.
Was there any relationship between Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue? Did Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue really have five senior brothers and sisters named First, Second Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue?
After pondering for a while, Song Shuhang decided to send a message in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Stressed by a Mountain of Books: "Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, do you know a certain ’Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’?"
Song Shuhang quickly received a reply after he sent the message.
It was the always online holy warrior, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator. "Eh? Little friend Song Shuhang knows about Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?"
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue replied almost at the same time. "Little friend Shuhang, from whom did you hear about Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?"
"Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, is Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue your senior brother?" Song Shuhang cautiously asked. After all, he saw Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s grave. If they were really fellow apprentices, wouldn’t it mean that Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue was already dead?
"No, I don’t have a senior brother called Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue," Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue replied.
"I feel relieved then." Song Shuhang heaved a sigh and said, "Actually, I got this information from a disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect I met yesterday. This disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect once explored the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue. In other words, Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue should be already dead."
"Ooooh, so it was Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s grave!" Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue quickly replied.
"Senior, do you know about it?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, I know about it. That grave is currently located on a meteorite in space. Has anyone in the group been to Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s grave yet?"
"I don’t think so, I remember that I’ve only been to the grave of True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue," Northern River’s Loose Cultivator replied.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue: "Ahahaha, it should be right about time. Today, we can keep working on the ancient grave exploring session of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Which session is this one? The 13th, I think?"
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue also added: "Then, little friend Song Shuhang, would you like to explore an ancient grave as well?"
