Chapter 536: Several unexpected guests
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Therefore, Yu Jiaojiao abandoned Song Shuhang and the others and returned to Earth all alone with the intention of catching that cute little author.
Afterward, Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, and Li Yinzhu were catapulted out of the immortal boat and thrown into the vast and boundless space… Yes, they were literally catapulted out!
A little while ago, Chu Chu and Li Yinzhu entered the small space capsule. As for Song Shuhang, he wore the cumbersome spacesuit and chained himself to the space capsule, ready to get out of the immortal boat.
But right at that time, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue kindly asked, “Are you guys ready to set out?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Yes, we are ready.”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue continued, “Do you guys want some help?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Some help? Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wants to send us off? Sure!”
Afterward… Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue squeezed them into what resembled a ‘gun barrel’ and fired them out of the immortal boat with a large boom, literally catapulting them out.
It was truly an explosive help!
“Senior~ Seventh~ Cultivator~ of~ True~ Virtue~ why you do this?!” Song Shuhang called out in panic. Was it that difficult to send him out of the immortal boat with normal means? The immortal boat obviously had a door!
“Have a nice trip!” One could still see Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s silhouette standing in front the window of the immortal boat waving at them, seemingly reluctant to part ways with them.
❄️❄️❄️
Just like that, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had catapulted Song Shuhang and the others out of the immortal boat, sending them toward an unknown destination.
At this time, they weren’t on Earth but in the vast and boundless space. Song Shuhang didn’t have one of those ‘universal navigation systems’ created with Black Technology. Therefore, he had no idea where he was at this time.
While floating in the vast space, Song Shuhang said softly, “Is this Senior White’s training…?”
At first, he thought that Venerable White had sent him into space as a punishment for not placing amongst the first ten in the hand-guided tractor competition. But now, it seemed that Senior White had arranged something in space so that he could practice?
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, inside Song Shuhang’s size-reducing purse.
Since he was violently catapulted out of the immortal boat, the three spirit stones of the Third Stage that Song Shuhang had received after his transaction with Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue came in contact with the exquisite human puppet.
Just as before, in the instant the three spirit stones of the Third Stage came in contact with the human puppet, they were absorbed within its body without leaving traces behind.
Song Shuhang was going to discover something horrifying the next time he would open his size-reducing purse… his spirit stones were gone!
❄️❄️❄️
Wenzhou City, Baijing Street, Song Shuhang’s house.
Today, a new person moved into Song Shuhang’s neighborhood.
After the original owner of the house, Aunt He and her family, received a large and unrefusable sum of money, they moved out and transferred the ownership of the house and furniture to the new owner.
Joseph ‘Guy’ Maupassant checked out his new home, perfectly satisfied. It was a 200-square-meters apartment, and the previous owner, Aunt He, was obsessed with cleanliness. Therefore, the place was very clean.
“It’s truly a good place!” Joseph sighed with emotion.
Right beside him, his daughter, Ji Shuangxue, had a depressed expression on her face. When she heard that her father suddenly wanted to buy a house in China, she thought that he would buy one in Jiangnan’s area since she studied at Jiangnan University…
But little did she expect that her father would buy a house so far away from Jiangnan’s area… the house was located in Wenzhou City.
Has my father gone mad?
Joseph’s wife had likewise no idea what her husband’s plans were.
“Since we are here, we better prepare a small gift and go to meet our new neighbors.” Joseph was beaming with joy.
“New neighbors?” Ji Shuangxue asked in puzzlement. “Which new neighbors?”
“My teacher’s family,” Joseph said with a smile.
“Teacher?” Ji Shuangxue immediately had a bad premonition. “…Is it the family of fellow student Song Shuhang?”
“Ahahaha!” Joseph laughed out loud, seemingly very satisfied.
Even someone as gentle as Ji Shuangxue was about to lose her temper at this time.
“It’s an opportunity that I obtained with great difficulty!” Joseph said complacently. He vaguely remembered that he had once mentioned to his teacher, Song Shuhang, that he would move closer to his place, and his teacher had accepted his request.
…But there was a small problem. No matter how much he tried to recall it, he just couldn’t remember when and where he had mentioned to his teacher that he would move next to him…
Although the memories of the visitors were completely wiped out before they left the mysterious island, there were some deep impressions that would stay behind in their consciousness even after the memories were wiped out.
It was precisely what had happened in Joseph’s case.
Anyway, regardless of where and when he had brought up this matter with his teacher, he was already Song Shuhang’s neighbor at this time. From now on, he could ask his teacher to guide him in the learning process of the peerless martial technique whenever he wanted.
Then, the delighted Joseph, the confused wife, and the depressed Ji Shuangxue arrived in front of Song Shuhang’s house to pay a visit.
❄️❄️❄️
Just as Joseph and his family arrived there to visit Song Shuhang’s house, there was already another guest inside—Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist had visited Song Shuhang’s house quite a lot recently, and he had become a close friend of Mama Song and Papa Song.
As you might remember, Papa Song was preparing to open a ‘fitness equipment manufacturing company’ with two of his friends in the near future.
At first, he was thinking of waiting for Song Shuhang to graduate so as to avoid influencing his studies. Then, he would resign from his job at the State GRID Corporation of China without worries and open the company together with his companions since he didn’t have too much experience in the matter.
However, their plan couldn’t keep up with the changes that were happening.
This year, they chanced upon a very good opportunity. There was a fitness equipment manufacturing company here in Wenzhou City, and since the owner urgently needed money to treat his illness, he decided to sell the whole plant, as well as the equipment inside. If they could get their hands on the plant, Papa Song and his two friends would save a lot of time.
In the living room, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist and Papa Song were discussing the matter about the fitness equipment. Although Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist had heard about this modern fitness equipment just recently, he was still a Fifth Stage Golden Core cultivator! The ideas and concepts that Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist put forward while discussing the subject really enlightened Papa Song. Therefore, Papa Song’s favorable impression of Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist increased even further.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist took a sip of the Spirit Green Tea and faintly sighed, taking out his mobile phone.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist had already abandoned the instant messaging program he was using while imprisoned by True Monarch Yellow Mountain. Now, he was using another instant messaging app for mobile phones with even more features.
It was Papa Song that told him about this app. According to what he said, more than 60% of the people in China were using this instant messaging app.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist unlocked his phone and published a message on his wall.
Title: I have been visiting the house of a little friend quite a lot lately. At first, I was thinking of getting a little bit of an advantage from him, but that little friend doesn’t ever seem to be at home. I’m very sad. A few days ago, the little friend finally returned home, but I still managed to miss the opportunity to see him. It’s a rather worrisome matter. I hope this little friend quickly returns home. I’m mentally exhausted right now.
Attachments: Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist’s two selfies.
However, the number of ‘like’ was very low, and the number of friends was likewise low. After all, it wasn’t the selfie of a cute girl. Therefore, not many people looked at it.
This development made Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist miss that instant messaging program he used back then while suppressed in Yellow Mountain’s seal. No matter what kind of news he published back then, hundreds of people would pop out to leave comments and like his posts.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist really liked the feeling of so many people supporting him.
“Unfortunately, I can’t use that instant messaging program again.” Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist sighed with emotion. He had realized that there was something wrong with that program. It was very likely that True Monarch Yellow Mountain had tampered with it and that everything happening was part of his scheme.
Therefore, Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist made up his mind and decided to change the instant messaging program he was using.
However, he was unable to quickly add new friends in this new instant messaging program, and the number of likes and comments was very low. It almost made Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist feel as though he was playing a singleplayer game.
❄️❄️❄️
Joseph’s family of three arrived in front of Song Shuhang’s house and rang the doorbell.
After hearing the doorbell, Mama Song headed toward the door to see who had come to their house. Just as she opened the door, she saw a foreign man with blonde hair and blue eyes standing at the entrance with a foolish smile on his face.
Next to the man was a Chinese woman with an embarrassed smile on her face.
Behind them was a mixed girl with blonde hair.
Mama Song asked, “Hello, might I know who you are?”
The foreigner man opened his mouth and said, “Hello. Excuse me, is this Teacher Song—”
But just as he was halfway through his speech, the mixed girl in the back quickly said, “Hello, Auntie. Is this fellow student Song Shuhang’s house?”
Mama Song blinked her eyes and said, “Ah? Yes.”
“We just moved here and heard that fellow student Song Shuhang’s house was also in the area. Therefore, we decided to drop for a visit,” the mixed girl said very politely.
At the same time, the foreigner stretched out his hand and passed a big gift to Mama Song, saying, “It’s just a small gift as a token of appreciation.”
The spoken Chinese of the foreigner wasn’t half-bad.
Mama Song kept blinking her eyes. Were these people also Song Shuhang’s friends?
Soon after, she revealed a radiant smile and welcomed the three guests inside the house. “Please, come in. It’s enough that you’ve come, what need there was to bring a gift! Sigh… Why are people so courteous nowadays.”
After getting into the house, Joseph impatiently asked, “What about Teacher Song—”
However, Ji Shuangxue stole the limelight before he could finish his sentence and said, “Auntie, is fellow student Song Shuhang at home?”
Mama Song felt that both the father and the daughter were rather amusing. She replied, “In the past few days, Shuhang went on a trip with someone. He said that he would return after one month. Did you need something from him? I can give him a call and get in contact with him if necessary.”
Anyway, would Song Shuhang really receive the call if Mama Song was to call him from Earth?
Moreover, what kind of phone bill would be charged if the call went through?
“It’s fine, it’s fine. There is no need to call him, Auntie,” Ji Shuangxue said with a smile. It was truly a wonderful news that Song Shuhang would return after a month… At that time, their university would have started already.
On the other hand, Joseph’s expression was one of disappointment.
However, the disappointed look on Joseph’s face didn’t last for long… because he remembered about a certain matter!
His teacher, Song Shuhang, once told him that the peerless martial technique he practiced was passed down from generation to generation.
Since the technique was passed down from generation to generation… one amongst his father and mother should be an expert in the usage of the technique!
According to China’s tradition of passing down secret Kung Fu’s techniques… it was very likely that Teacher Song Shuhang’s father was the expert in question.
Such being the case, he could simply ask Papa Song to give him pointers about the peerless martial technique.
After all, he was still Song Shuhang’s disciple, wasn’t he?
After thinking up to this point, Joseph’s passion for ‘Chinese Kung Fu’ was set ablaze once again.
If not for the fact that there was a stranger in the living room (Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist), perhaps Joseph would have rushed in there and performed one set of the technique in front of Papa Song, asking him to give him a pointer or two.
❄️❄️❄️
Just as Joseph’s family was visiting Song Shuhang’s house…
Not far from Song Shuhang’s place, two figures stealthily approached.
“Is that house ahead Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ residence?” one of the black-robed figures said in a low voice.
“This information directly comes from Senior Brother Young Master Hai. There is no mistake,” the other black-robed figure said. At the same time, an excited expression flashed through his eyes. “If we can take the family members of that Stressed by a Mountain of Books as hostages, we can bargain with him and Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and have them release the kidnapped Peak Leaders of our Limitless Demon Sect. It would be a great achievement on our part.”
“Perhaps we can get the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd too during the process.” The eyes of the Black-Robed Man No. 1 shone.
“At that time, we would surely receive a big reward from the sect. Maybe this is our opportunity to advance to the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor and become Peak Leaders!” the Black-Robed Man No. 2 said excitedly.
These two black-robed men were the same two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect that Song Shuhang met just as he got into space.
Back then, they thought of catching Song Shuhang and handing him over to ‘Senior Brother Young Master Hai’ to curry favor with him. But they didn’t expect to meet that group of cultivators demanding their pay and have all their belongings stolen.
Soon after, the Black-Robed Man No. 1 and the Black-Robed Man No. 2 started to observe Song Shuhang’s house, trying to confirm the situation.
That middle-aged married couple was very likely the parents of that Stressed by a Mountain of Books.
On the other hand, the foreign man, his wife, and the mixed daughter were either relatives or guests. They might kidnap them as well while they were at it. They might get some extra spirit stones from it.
Lastly, there was another very common man inside the house. He was probably just another guest.
Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist hadn’t used medicinal pills to boost his cultivation. He was a Golden Core Spiritual Emperor that had relied on his strength alone to condense his Golden Core and break through while suppressed by the ‘Five Fingers Mountain Sealing Technique’! As a result, his foundation was incredibly solid!
Therefore, the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were completely unable to detect the level of his cultivation while Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist was hiding his strength and ended up treating him as an ordinary guest.
The two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect slowly approached Song Shuhang’s house.
❄️❄️❄️
Just as the disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were slowly approaching Song Shuhang’s house, a figure hiding on a nearby tree happily smiled.
The figure quietly took out its phone and sent a message.
I discovered two suspicious figures approaching Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Saber’s house. I have confirmed that they are disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect, and their strength is at the Fourth Stage Innate Realm. I request the permission to get into action and catch them. Report over.
The message was sent to a certain… Su Clan’s Seven.
Very soon, Su Clan’s Seven replied: Permission to get into action and catch them granted. Fifth squad, get into action and don’t leave behind any traces.
Su Clan’s Seven was very happy.
Since the day Song Shuhang took the ‘Blood God Crystal’ from Young Master Hai’s hands, ruining part of his perfect plan, Seven was sure that the latter would surely take action against Song Shuhang.
Therefore, he assigned a permanent duty to the Wenzhou City branch of the Spirit River Su Clan. The duty consisted in watching over little friend Song Shuhang’s house. If they could catch the members of the Limitless Demon Sect plotting against Shuhang, they would receive a reward from Seven.
At first, given Young Master Hai’s meticulous nature, Seven thought that he would obtain results only after several years. But little did he expect that he would get good news only one month after the duty was issued.
❄️❄️❄️
Jiangning area, inside Gao Moumou’s house.
Gao Moumou felt somewhat restless today. He felt a cold feeling all over his body just as he was writing the chapter.
“Did I catch a cold today?” Gao Moumou muttered to himself.
