Chapter 333: Senior White’s expression package flying off the shelves

“Don’t worry. I’ll make them feel as though they were at home ?,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said with a smile. After all, he had to rely on the professor and the others to instruct the natives and complete the oath about teaching illiterate people how to write and read. Therefore, he was surely going to treat them well.
“I see. In that case, I’ll leave everything to you.” Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and also wrote, “Senior Seven Lives Talisman, is there a way to contact the outside world from that place? If possible, could you let my friends and everyone else call home and tell their relatives that they’re safe and sound?”
Since the news about the disappearance of the plane was already made public, the relatives of the passengers had to be incredibly worried. If possible, Song Shuhang wanted them to call their relatives at home and tell them they were safe.
“Tell their relatives that they are safe and sound?” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman paused for a moment and replied, “You have a point. Since they are going to stay on the island for a while, it would be a good thing to let them keep in touch with their family members so as to avoid them getting worried. Anyway, leave it to me. I’ll find a way to install a public telephone or something to let everyone contact their relatives.”
“I’ll trouble Senior Seven Lives Talisman then ?.” Song Shuhang attached a smiling emoji to the message.
Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief—for now, he could help his friends only in this way.
After the conversation was over, he logged out from his account.
“Senior Copper Trigram, can I make a call?” Song Shuhang asked Copper Trigram.
“Sure,” Copper Trigram said with a smile.
“Thank you.” Song Shuhang quickly dialed Mama Song’s number.
Soon after, the call connected.
“Hello, who is it?” Mama Song’s weak voice transmitted from the other end—the news about the disappearance of the airplane was already public. It didn’t take them long to discover that it was the same flight that Shuhang had boarded.
The couple was extremely worried and dialed Song Shuhang’s number several times. But no matter how much they tried, the call didn’t connect. The authorities had started to take action not too long ago, and the strangest thing was that the plane had disappeared into thin air, without leaving behind any traces.
Mama Song was so worried that she had cried several times already.
“Ma, it’s me! Shuhang!” Song Shuhang said.
As soon as his voice faded, the sound of something falling to the ground transmitted from the other end. Afterward, Mama Song shouted, “Shuhang? Is it really you?! Where are you now, and why weren’t you picking up your phone? And to whom belongs this phone number full of asterisks?”
Phone number full of asterisks? Oh, Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s phone must have private mode activated and the phone number should be obscured.
Song Shuhang tried to comfort his mother. “Ma, calm down. I’m perfectly fine, nothing happened to me! Not only me, all the other passengers on the plane are also fine. As for why I wasn’t picking up, it was due to the lack of signal. I borrowed a special phone from a friend to make this call. Anyway, I’m staying with my friends for a couple of days before returning home.”
“You’ll return in a couple of days? Where are you now? Can’t you return immediately?” Mama Song said, somewhat worried.
Song Shuhang continued to comfort her. “I’m somewhere in the East China Sea. But you don’t have to worry, my friends are really resourceful and I’m sure they’ll find a way to get me out of this place. I just wanted to tell you that I’m safe and sound!”
Only after comforting Mama Song for a long time was Shuhang able to calm her.
After hanging up, Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief and returned the phone to Immortal Master Copper Trigram. “Thank you, Senior Copper Trigram.”
Now, his family members wouldn’t have to worry about his safety. He was lucky that Senior Copper Trigram was here. This allowed him to give Mama Song and Papa Song a call.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram took his phone back and said with a smile, “You’re welcome.”
“Right… Senior, where did you get this phone that can get signal even on this remote island?” Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. If possible, he also wanted a phone like this. He had a hunch that he would frequently find himself in places where normal phones wouldn’t have signal in the future.
“I got this phone from True Monarch Yellow Mountain. Actually, most of the fellow daoists in the group chat got their special custom-made phones from him. Of course, some of them modified their phones on their own,” Immortal Master Copper Trigram said with a smile.
Song Shuhang silently nodded.
Just as they were speaking, Venerable White came over. He had just applied the medicinal paste on Chu Chu’s wounds and happened to hear Song Shuhang’s question about modified phones as he was coming over.
“Shuhang, you want a modified phone? In that case, I’ll modify yours once we go back,” Venerable White said.
Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity, “Eh? Senior White, you can modify phones?”
Venerable White took out his magically changed mobile phone and dangled it in front of Shuhang. “It was very easy. I fiddled with it for a while and puff, it was modified.”
As for how many phones he broke while ‘fiddling with them for a while’… it was a trade secret.
Song Shuhang gave him a thumbs up. “Senior White is incredible!”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram also gave a thumbs up and said, “Senior White is worthy of being our senior!”
Venerable White received his phone, his face calm.
“Senior White, did Miss Chu Chu get better after you applied the medicinal paste on her wounds?” Song Shuhang asked.
“The effects of that medicinal paste weren’t bad. Her wounds have already started to heal, and she should fully recover in around a month. However, she won’t be able to participate in the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform,” Venerable White said.
“We’ve already done everything in our power… as for that matter about the Grievance Settling Platform, there is nothing we can do.” Song Shuhang heaved a sigh. Afterward, he added, “Senior White, should we go to Senior Seven Lives Talisman’s place next?”
“There is no hurry… our guests have yet to arrive,” Venerable White said with a smile.
Wolf One, Bull Two, and the other members of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect were rushing over toward their position.
Therefore, Venerable White wanted to greet them properly, as well as get a hold of their ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯. He was very interested in it.
❄️❄️❄️
In the meantime, in the Chu Family.
Soft Feather was sitting on the lawn, speedily typing on her laptop.
The Chu Family had made up its mind and decided to settle the matter with the ‘Illusory Sword School’ on the Grievance Settling Platform.
As a consequence, both parties were extremely busy preparing for the matches that would be held there.
Although Soft Feather wanted to help, she wasn’t a member of the Chu Family and was therefore unable to fight on their behalf on the Grievance Settling Platform.
“What a troublesome situation… if only Senior Song were here… my shapeshifting brooch is still with him… with that brooch, I might be able to replace Elder Sister Chu Chunying and fight in her stead,” Soft Feather muttered. If she were to go on stage, except for the strongest elder of the Illusory Sword School, no one would be able to defeat her.
Just as she was in deep thoughts, she pressed the Enter key.
“Done, upload completed!” Soft Feather said with a smile. She seemed very pleased with herself.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Just as Northern River’s Loose Cultivator, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Dharma King Creation, and the others were chatting, they suddenly received a notification.
Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather had uploaded a file named [Senior White’s expression package] in the group space.
“Senior White’s expression package? What’s that? Is it related to Venerable White?” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was the first one reply. Next, he went in the group space to take a look.
He saw that there was a newly uploaded file.
The name of this file was [Senior White’s expression package], and it had been downloaded twelve times.
Hm? This many? I clicked as soon as the notification appeared and there are already twelve fellow daoists that downloaded the file?
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator sighed—the higher the strength of a cultivator, the higher would be their reaction time. These twelve fellow daoists were probably all stronger than Northern River’s Loose Cultivator.
From the high number of downloads, one could see that were many seniors lurking in the group, ready to get into action if something interesting were to happen.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator quietly clicked on the download button, further increasing the number of downloads of the file Soft Feather had sent.
After the file was decompressed… the app imported all the pictures in the folder in the form of emotes.
Immediately after, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator clicked on the expression package and started to scroll through it.
In the next instant, he was shocked!
“What the…” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator looked at the set of emotes before his eyes.
A Venerable White with symmetrical twin-tails pointing his fingers toward his cheeks. There was also this glittering line: I feel very cute today!
A twin-tailed Venerable White with one tail on top of his head and the other behind his ear with the glittering words: I’m adorable!
Next was a ponytail edition Venerable White with his hands joined together: Pray.
As well as a hair-up edition Venerable White with two pink dots photoshopped on his cheeks: Shy.
❄️❄️❄️
There were many types of pictures: a sad-looking Senior White, a cold-sweating Senior White, a Senior White looking down on others, a Senior White giving his blessings, an angry Senior White…
And so on, for a total of almost sixty different pictures.
After seeing these pictures, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator felt as though his body had been purified!
Is this what they call baptism of the soul?
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator returned to the Nine Provinces Number One Group and wrote: “Soft Feather, you did an incredible job!”
As soon as he sent the message, many other fellow daoists popped out one after another.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “Soft Feather, you did an incredible job! +1”
Dharma King Creation: “Soft Feather, you did an incredible job! +2”
❄️❄️❄️
In the next instant, Fairy Lychee popped up and wrote: “I also feel very cute today :senior_white_cute:”
Fairy Lychee spammed like crazy the emote where Senior White was acting cute and flooded the entire chat.
Fairy Lychee: “I love these pictures. I’ve decided! I’ll change my profile picture to twin-tails edition :senior_white_cute:! It’s better if none of you try to steal this avatar from me!”
She didn’t waste time, and in the in next instant, Fairy Lychee’s profile picture changed into a twin-tails edition Senior White that was pointing his fingers toward his cheeks.
Fairy Lychee’s actions seemed to have started a chain reaction…
The other people in the group didn’t waste time and also made their moves.
“I’ll book the ponytail edition praying Senior White. You better not steal it while I change my profile picture.”
“Angry Senior White is the best! I want this as a profile picture.”
“This one isn’t bad either.”
“I want this one!”
In the blink of an eye… the thirty or so members of the group chat that were particularly active changed their profile pictures, using Senior White’s pictures as avatars. In the next moment… the Nine Provinces Number One Group suddenly changed into an army of Senior Whites.
In a mere instant, the [Senior White’s expression package] became extremely popular in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
After changing their profile picture… the members of the group chat started to fight with emotes.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “Fairy Lychee, you look very cute today! :senior_white_adorable:”
Fairy Lychee: “:senior_white_shy:”
Cave Lord Snow Wolf: “Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless… :senior_white_look_down:”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “:senior_white_sad:”
Even Great Master Profound Principle stealthily sent a :senior_white_cold_sweat: emote.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator looked at the fellow daoists in the group going crazy over Senior White’s pictures and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He felt that these fellow daoists were playing with fire. Were they all trying to seek death?
But as they say… ‘the law excuses the masses’. If everyone was seeking death, perhaps no one would die?
After thinking for a moment, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator quietly changed his profile picture to :senior_white_look_down:. He felt that this emote was very cool.
Now that he had changed his profile picture, whenever he would chat with Immortal Master Copper Trigram, he would feel as though he was continuously looking down on him. A truly wonderful feeling!
In the time it took Northern River’s Loose Cultivator to change his profile picture, more than 999 messages were sent in the group chat.
“They are worthily cultivators. Their typing speed is very quick,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator muttered.
Just he was sighing with emotion, True Monarch Yellow Mountain showed up.
After appearing, True Monarch Yellow Mountain sent grinning emoji ? as well as a big-sized :senior_white_cute:.
“Now then, there is something I’ve very curious about. Whose are those two hands in the picture? @Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather, was it you who took this photo? ?” True Monarch Yellow Mountain asked with a smile.
At this time, everyone discovered that there was indeed a pair of withdrawing hands in the picture where twin-tails edition Senior White was pointing his finger toward his cheeks.
You wouldn’t notice those two hands unless you were to look carefully!
True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s eyesight was pretty good!
❄️❄️❄️
Soft Feather just happened to be lurking around.
She didn’t expect that the [Senior White’s expression package] she sent in the group chat would become this famous. She sent it only a few minutes ago, and now, the entire Nine Provinces Number One Group was filled with Senior White’s emotes.
Since the founder of the group had summoned her, Soft Feather popped out and, somewhat embarrassed, said, “I took most of these pictures.”
True Monarch Yellow Mountain sent a thumbs up emoji ?.
Not bad. Both her ability to take photos and courage were excellent.
“But whose hands are those? They should belong to the person messing with Senior White’s hair, right?” True Monarch Yellow Mountain asked out of curiosity. Which fellow daoist was so daring and didn’t care about offending a Venerable? Moreover, this person was bold enough to make Venerable White assume all kinds of embarrassing poses as well as mess with his hair, making him wear all those different hairstyles.
This was simply a death-seeking behavior! If this were a TV show—such a character wouldn’t last for more than three episodes!
“Those are Senior Song’s hands,” Soft Feather said, somewhat embarrassed.
As expected, it was little friend Song Shuhang… all the seniors in the group secretly thought.
