Accompany me shopping!
Halfway there, Song Shuhang took out his phone and checked the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'. No one there had said they wanted to send him anything.
Could it be that Soft Feather sent something again?
Three days ago, when she met me in the group chat, she suddenly asked if I wanted some 'Spirit-Vein Jade Tea'. Because Spirit Butterfly Island had just harvested a new batch of Spirit-Vein Jade Tea leaves, and she had even picked a small portion herself. Then she happily logged on and said that once the Spirit-Vein Jade Tea leaves were finished, she would send some to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang happily agreed, saying that if it was just "a little tea," he would accept this small gift without any problem.
But now, upon hearing that the box was "as tall as a person," Song Shuhang felt a little worried— Soft Feather was quite wealthy, a fact acknowledged even by the seniors in the group. If the "little bit of tea" she mentioned was indeed a box as tall as a person, then he would owe her a huge favor.
Speaking of Soft Feather, she's currently working hard on the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar' formation.
She has a great talent for cultivation, having already reached the Third-Grade Houtian rank of the Acquired Realm at a young age, but it seems that all her talent points have been allocated to cultivation. Other skills such as alchemy, formations, and talisman making are beyond her reach.
She has been studying the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar' formation for half a month, during which she has tried it four times, failing each time, and has not yet succeeded.
Lately, whenever I run into her in the group chat, I often see her sulking about this.
It was precisely because he saw that Soft Feather had failed four times in a row that Song Shuhang dared not form a contract with the Spirit Ghost in his hands on his own.
He only has two chances; if he fails, he'll have to collect the materials for the 'Five-Element Spirit-Binding Altar' all over again. With so many materials, who knows how long it will take him?
Lost in thought, Song Shuhang had already arrived at the boys' dormitory.
Sima Jiang had been waiting here for a long time—in fact, he was already waiting at the entrance of the boys' dormitory when he called Song Shuhang. There were also four burly men in black suits guarding a large box that was about 1.8 meters long.
"Jiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Thank you for your hard work," Song Shuhang said apologetically.
"No, that's not true. We just arrived too," Sima Jiang laughed heartily. "Here, sign your name."
Song Shuhang nodded, signed his name, and then opened the dormitory door.
"Do you want us to help you carry it in?" Sima Jiang asked, after all, the box was very big, and it wouldn't be easy for one person to drag it in.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Song Shuhang squat down, pick up one end of the box with both hands, and easily lift the box horizontally, as easily as lifting a school desk.
Song Shuhang replied with a smile, "Oh? It's alright, it's not very heavy, I can manage on my own."
Sima Jiang opened his mouth and said goodbye to Song Shuhang.
Then he led his four subordinates toward the elevator.
"Is that box really that light?" Sima Jiang muttered to himself.
"It's not very heavy... but it's that long. If we could lift it upright, one of us could manage. But, if we grabbed one end and lifted it horizontally, we probably couldn't do it," a man in a black suit behind him said after thinking for a moment.
Moreover, that student, who looked thin and frail, and not particularly strong, turned out to be quite powerful!
Before you know it, you forget to hide your strength.
Song Shuhang sighed inwardly and carried the box into the room.
After tearing open the outer cardboard box, there was a wooden box inside, which looked a bit like a coffin!
A coffin? Who sent him a coffin?!
Is it someone he recently offended?
In an instant, Song Shuhang tensed up completely.
He immediately thought of Elder Gongzi Hai from the Moon Saber Sect!
When the other party left, they said, "This Blood God Diamond will be temporarily entrusted to you. In due time, I will visit you and retrieve Blood God Diamond."
Could this guy be delivering a coffin?
This guy's already thinking of paying a visit so soon?
"Doudou! Are you there?" Song Shuhang called out.
"Woof, what's up?" The Pekingese Doudou's voice came from in front of the bedroom computer. It was playing Song Shuhang's game with great enthusiasm. It had recently become obsessed with this game, and had let its teammates down countless times.
"Come here for a second, I need to open a box. But something feels off, maybe there's a trap in the box! I offended someone a few days ago, maybe they're using a package to set a trap to get revenge on me," Song Shuhang said cautiously.
Doudou turned its head and sniffed. Then, it lazily said, "Go ahead, with me here, at least you won't get killed."
With those words, Song Shuhang felt a little relieved.
He carefully grasped the lid of the wooden box and gently opened it.
It wasn't nailed down, and the lid opened very easily.
Nothing flew out, Song Shuhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned over to look into the box...
Inside the box, a beautiful woman slept soundly. She was petite, with shoulder-length short hair and a face as delicate as a porcelain doll.
"Sixteen?!"
Song Shuhang cried out.
The box was over 1.8 meters long. After removing the outer cardboard and wooden box, and adding a thick layer of foam inside, it was just enough to accommodate Sixteen, who was about 1.5 meters tall, so that she could lie comfortably inside.
Upon hearing Song Shuhang's call, Sixteen groggily opened his eyes.
Beside the computer, Doudou snorted disdainfully; it had already caught a whiff of Su Clan’s Sixteen's scent.
Sixteen blinked and climbed out of the box. "Oh, hello there, Shuhang."
After getting up, you can see that besides her, there is a small jar and an exquisite box in the box.
"Didn't you go back to the Su Clan Main House with Senior A-Qi to treat your injuries? How did you escape again?" Song Shuhang asked anxiously.
According to her own words, if her injuries weren't treated soon, she might only have fifteen days to live! Why didn't she stay in the Su Clan Main House for treatment instead of running away?
What if the injury flares up midway through?
"Hehe, aren't I amazing? I came up with a way to send myself away by express delivery, and easily escaped from the Su Clan Main House again! But don't worry, I brought a protective talisman this time, so I'm not afraid of anyone attacking me. I also brought some pills to suppress my injuries." As he spoke, Sixteen looked at Song Shuhang's anxious appearance and was puzzled for a moment.
Then she reached out her little hand and patted Song Shuhang, comforting him, "Don't worry, with the talisman, A-Qi will be able to pinpoint my location quickly, and he'll come to pick me up at the latest tonight! I'm only out for half a day."
Song Shuhang was both amused and exasperated. He turned his head to glance at the Pekingese Demon Hound who was playing games, then looked back at Su Clan’s Sixteen.
True Lord Yellow Mountain and Senior A-Qi, thank you for your hard work!
"Did something happen this time that you escaped again?" Song Shuhang sighed, knowing he could only wait for Senior A-Qi to come back and pick her up.
"Yes, something's up." Sixteen nodded, first handing the small jar to Song Shuhang: "One hundred 'Grain-Repelling Pill,' I meant what I said, here they are!"
"Just for this? Even if you're going to keep your promise and return the Grain-Repelling Pill a hundredfold, you don't need to run away to deliver it to me, do you?" Song Shuhang was once again at a loss for words.
Sixteen did not answer; her eyes were slightly lowered, and she remained silent for a long while.
Then, she handed over the box. "And this too, Spirit-Vein Jade Tea, as a gift for you! Now that you're a cultivator, you should at least have some Spirit-Vein Jade Tea to serve your fellow cultivators when they come to visit. Also, ordinary people can drink a small amount of Spirit-Vein Jade Tea to improve their health. You can give some to your family, but only in small amounts."
Song Shuhang stared at the box in Sixteen's hand—could her sudden gift of 'Spirit-Vein Jade Tea' be because of what Soft Feather mentioned in the group chat?
Sixteen's dark eyes stared straight at Song Shuhang, still in the posture of handing out the box.
"Thank you, then I'll accept it without being polite." Song Shuhang had no choice but to accept the Spirit-Vein Jade Tea from her hand, unable to refuse her kindness.
"Then... we'll have some time before A-Qi gets here. Would you like to show me around?" Sixteen said with a bright smile.
"Okay, where do you want to go?" Song Shuhang replied. They didn't have classes on Tuesday afternoon.
Moreover, his driving lessons have just come to an end. He and Tubo have successfully passed the second part of the driving test, and now they are just waiting for the instructor to call them to drive a few laps on the road before taking the road test.
So I happen to have some free time lately.
"There are so many places. I want to go shopping in clothing stores first, then the Luoxin District Food Street, watching a movie would be nice too, and I also want to go to a large arcade. I'll just wander around wherever I end up. I want to try everything that's fun, delicious, and interesting." Sixteen smiled and squinted his eyes.
After a pause, she continued, "Then, there's a big problem. I didn't bring any money, not a single penny, so I can't pay back the taxi fare I owe you last time!"
"Alright, owing fifty is owing, owing five thousand is owing too. Shall I pay?" Song Shuhang said with a smile.
"Okay." Sixteen stretched. "Let's go!"
"Doudou, wanna come together?" Song Shuhang called out to the Pekingese in front of the computer.
Since I was thinking of going to Luoxin District, I figured I could buy some snacks for Doudou.
Pekingese Doudou turned its head and looked at Song Shuhang with an expression of utter disbelief. After a while, it said, "I'm having fun and don't want to go out with you. Remember to bring me some beef-flavored dog food when you come back. I've been wanting to try dog food for ages. Yellow Mountain Big Fool never buys me dog food. What a fool! What kind of dog doesn't eat dog food?"
"...Okay." Song Shuhang replied with difficulty.
************************
Sixteen was in a good mood. Holding Song Shuhang's hand, they first went to the women's clothing mall to browse around.
"How about this one?" She changed into a cute floral dress and twirled in front of Song Shuhang.
This floral dress suits Sixteen's style perfectly; she has a great eye for choosing clothes.
"Fantastic!" Song Shuhang gave a thumbs up.
"Then let's buy it and continue!" Sixteen smiled, turning around to continue weaving through the sea of clothes in the women's clothing store.
The waiters nearby couldn't help but praise, "Young man, your sister is so cute, and she has such a good eye for clothes. That outfit really suited her."
"Haha, thank you, thank you." Song Shuhang smiled as he paid.
Sixteen, amidst the sea of clothes, looked up at herself in the mirror. "Am I really that small...?"
Happy Singles' Day on November 11th!
