The first person to reply to him was not Island Master Tian Tiankong, but Senior Northern River.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “Little friend Shuhang, didn’t you go to the chaotic sea with Senior White? Why are you at Western Orchid Island already?”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram ridiculed, “Stupid Northern River, have you forgotten about Senior White’s spatial talent? After the adventure ended, they could have directly teleported to Western Orchid Island.”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “…”
Tyrannical Saber Song One: “Cough, it’s not what Senior Copper Trigram thinks. In fact, Senior White and I got separated.”
Fairy Lychee: “Separated?”
Lychee looked dumbfounded. What exactly happened that caused two cultivators to separate?
.
Did Senior White suddenly run away with his spatial talent while they were on their journey?
“During the live broadcast, if you could recall, Senior White wanted to take me into the chaotic sea to find an exotic fruit. When we entered the chaotic sea, we chanced upon a whirlpool. The whirlpool sent us underwater, causing us to separate.” Song Shuhang felt tired.
Island Master Tian Tiankong: “Who tagged me? I am here.”
Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei: “My stupid elder brother, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song has come, and he is waiting on Western Orchid Island. @Tyrannical Saber Song One, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, just have some fun on Western Orchid Island for now. I’m currently busy with something here. In a while, I will send someone to arrange for a place for you to stay at and rest. It might take some time, though.”
Island Master Tian Tiankong: “Little friend Shuhang, Senior White and you were separated?”
Tyrannical Saber Song One: “＠Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei, alright, then I will go shopping first. You can simply contact me when it’s time. @Island Master Tian Tiankong, yes, we were separated. Senior White should still be picking the exotic fruit in the chaotic sea. After he finds the fruit, he will come as well.”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “Nothing bad is going to happen, right?”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, “With Senior White’s luck and strength, how could something bad happen?”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “?♂️”
When I was asking that, I wasn’t referring to Senior White, but to little friend Shuhang.
It isn’t certain whether little friend Shuhang’s ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ Revised Version 3.0 will not cause him to suddenly explode. If Senior White is not around, his safety is not guaranteed.
Anyway, with Senior White’s luck, if he wanted to find a rare fruit, he should be able to find it easily, right? In theory, picking such fruits should not take much time.
Putting that into consideration, with half a day having passed, why hadn’t Senior White emerged from the chaotic sea yet?
If they were to consider the worst-case scenario… Could it be that his calamity-avoidance ability was activated again?
Of course, this was only Northern River’s speculation.
It wasn’t that every time Senior White suddenly left, he was avoiding some great calamity. There were times when he had just found something more interesting and forgot about the time.
It might also be because Senior White had a sudden flash of inspiration and went to close up.
Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “I just sent Senior White a private message, but there was no reply. It seems there was no signal when I called him, so he should still be in that chaotic sea. Fellow Daoist Tian Tianwei, Fellow Daoist Tian Tiankong, if you two have some spare time, can you stay with Shuhang before Senior White returns?”
Island Master Tian Tiankong: “?”
Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire replied, “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song’s cultivation technique is incomplete. If something happens, it would be best for there to be someone by his side to take care of him.”
Senior Yellow Mountain was really reliable.
Island Master Tian Tiankong said, “I’m not free right now. Tian Tianwei, how about you?”
Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei said, “I’m not, either. Otherwise, I would have definitely picked up Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song myself.”
Song Shuhang hurriedly said, “Don’t worry about me, I’ve still got Senior Turtle with me. If something does happen, Senior Turtle can help me.”
Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “That’s good. Then, before Senior White comes back, you can enjoy your stay on Western Orchid Island. Or wait for Tian Tiankong and the others to pick you up.”
Song Shuhang: “Then I’ll be going around the island first. The scenery here is very nice.”
True Monarch Eternal Fire went online, and asked, “＠Tyrannical Saber Song One, little friend Shuhang, someone just reported to me that a loose cultivator appeared near your home and came in contact with your family. Do you know them?”
Song Shuhang asked, “A loose cultivator? I don’t know any loose cultivators. What do they look like?”
True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “That person left after coming into contact with your family. I’ll send someone to pay attention to this matter.”
Song Shuhang: “Thank you, Senior Eternal Fire.”
Now that he was at the Fifth Stage Realm, he could place family matters further up on his to-do list.
Hmm… I should look for an opportunity to tell my parents about me being a cultivator.
True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “You’re welcome. After you come back, little friend Shuhang, come to our world of the golden lotus if you are free ?.”
The scholarly faction was learning from Song Shuhang and tried moving a fragment of the Ancient Heavenly City into the world of the golden lotus, but their operation had not gone smoothly. As such, they wanted to invite Song Shuhang to be a guest to see if he could help them with their problem.
Song Shuhang replied, “Sure.”
Whenever the scholarly faction came up, he would remember the Scholarly Sage’s eye that he had with him.
That was also an object of the scholarly faction.
After chatting for a while in the group, Song Shuhang thought for a moment, and opened the phone address book.
After organizing his thoughts, he called Mama Song.
Sometimes, it was better to seize the opportunity. Since he already got the impulse in his heart, then why not just tell Mama Song about the world of cultivation?
The call quickly connected.
Mama Song asked, “Hey, Shuhang, what’s the matter? Have you eaten?”
“I have. How are things at the house recently?” Song Shuhang asked.
…In fact, because of the Senior Medicine Master’s pills, Song Shuhang’s belly was full, and he couldn’t eat anything at all.
Mama Song laughed, and said, “Everything’s fine over here. You don’t have to worry.”
Song Shuhang asked roundaboutly about whether there were any guests at home recently.
However, he didn’t directly inquire about the loose cultivator. Perhaps that loose cultivator was merely a passerby for Mama Song.
On the other side of the phone, Mama Song’s expression became slightly serious. Although her son used to call often, asking if everyone at home was safe, he had never been like today, nagging about so many small things.
Sure enough, could our son have been affected by that matter about the second child?
No matter how firm he shows himself to be, he was still affected in the end…
Mama Song felt like she had guessed her son’s thinking.
There’s nobody that knows a child better than their mother.
Song Shuhang asked, “Right, Mom. Do you believe in the existence of supernatural abilities?”
Mama Song nodded secretly.
Sure enough, he’s been affected by the second child’s appearance.
At this time, as a mother, she had to comfort her son, and she could not let him develop any trauma.
Mama Song softly said, “Shuhang, Mom loves you. You don’t need to think too much.”
Mama Song continued to comfort him. “It’s alright, no matter whether it’s a younger brother or a younger sister, your mother’s love for you will never change.”
Song Shuhang felt like crying.
My mother’s imagination is running wild, and she’s jumping to conclusions too quickly. Also, in what way are supernatural abilities related to a second child?
“No, Mom. I’m not overthinking or anything. It was just that I was recently thinking about—” Song Shuhang suddenly didn’t know what to say next.
Should he continue talking to Mama Song about supernatural abilities?
He was afraid that Mama Song would think that he was thinking too much because of the second child.
As a result, he decided on discussing things again the next time he went home.
There were some things that could not be clarified no matter how much one talked on the phone. Instead of clarifying things, the situation could just get messier the more one talked.
Song Shuhang said, “Cough, Mom, something happened over here. I’ll be hanging up first.”
Mama Song gently said, “Take a good care of yourself. Don’t watch movies all night, and make sure to maintain a good schedule.”
Song Shuhang responded, “Yeah, I know.”
After hanging up, Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
On the other hand, Mama Song thought for some time, and then began searching on the Internet for some comforting lines related to a second child.
She was planning on modifying some of these lines and sending them to Song Shuhang to improve his emotional state.
“I couldn’t get any details pertaining to that loose cultivator. I don’t even know if the other party came into contact with my family by accident or deliberately.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand.
Then, the monster bird Little Cai, who was in the middle of practicing, was transported out of the Inner World.
Little Cai waved her wing as she reported, “Reporting to Teacher, I have finished swinging the saber 10,000 times today. My progress in practicing the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ has also been quite good. The effects of having eaten at the Immortal Feast are truly wonderful.”
“You’ve done well.” Song Shuhang patted Little Cai lightly, and said, “As your teacher, I will now give you your next task.”
“Teacher is finally going to give me a task? I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Ever since becoming Teacher’s disciple and starting to live in the Inner World for the sake of practice, I’ve been waiting to be of use to you!” Little Cai waved her wings, which then turned into black iron as a cold glow shone on the tips of her wings.
Song Shuhang said, “Your task is to fly back to Wenzhou City and reach my home. After you arrive there, you have to be attentive and see if a loose cultivator approaches my home. If there is one, don’t disturb him, just note down his appearance.”
Little Cai saluted, and said, “No problem, Teacher.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Go… By the way, do you know the way?”
Little Cai nodded, and replied, “Don’t worry, Teacher. I have a specially configured global navigation system. I bought it using the spirit stones I saved up over a long time.”
“I’m leaving, Teacher.” Little Cai spread her wings, turned into a colorful light that flew straight into the sky.
“I haven’t even finished speaking yet!” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He was also going to tell Little Cai about the reward for completing the mission.
Having been in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, he felt that there should always be rewards for doing things.
Song Shuhang said, “Forget it. I’ll just wait for Little Cai to complete her task before giving her the reward.”
For now, I’ll just stroll around this island.
However, going around this island by myself feels rather lonely.
He glanced at his Inner World again.
There was Senior Turtle, Lady Onion, Pavilion Master Chu—who had only her head left—Chu Chu, who was in seclusion, and Li Yinzhu, who was sleeping soundly.
It didn’t seem fitting for him to ask any of them to come with him.
While he was in thought, he suddenly found a suitable candidate.
At this time, she was done repairing her body.
