Soft Feather Sent a Message
The following day, the morning of July 18th.
Warm sunlight shone through the gaps in the tent onto Song Shuhang.
He groggily opened his eyes, and then Shuhang found himself covered in cold sweat. His chest felt like it had just been through a 'chest-breaking' ordeal, a suffocating tightness.
"Hoo!" Song Shuhang exhaled a heavy breath. Yesterday's dream experience was truly cruel!
Fortunately, in yesterday's dream, when Chu Chu was being "killed while holding a girl in his arms," the dream abruptly ended and didn't continue, allowing Song Shuhang to escape a disaster—you should know that Chu Chu was completely flattened after the scene where [Song Shuhang descended from the sky on a whale].
In other words, if the dream doesn't end, Song Shuhang will have to experience an even more painful and cruel "sister-in-arms kill" from Chu Chu's perspective.
It's terrifying to even think about.
When Song Shuhang emerged from the tent, he found that Doudou and the little monk were already up—because of the dream he had yesterday, Song Shuhang had gotten up rather late today.
The young monk sat on a rock, chanting scriptures and performing his morning prayers.
Doudou stood up and grew to about two meters tall, cooking breakfast in a large pot.
Yu Jiaojiao, in her Fishman form, shrunk to the size of a palm and sat next to the little monk. Her two small eyes gazed curiously at Doudou, lost in thought.
A heartwarming morning scene of a little monk, a dog demon, and Fish Demon together? This is simply a chaotic mess of demons!
On the other side, on that flat rock, the Venerable White was kneeling and playing on his phone.
When he saw Shuhang come out, Venerable White smiled gently and said, "Shuhang, good morning."
"Good morning, Senior White. Good morning, everyone," Song Shuhang greeted.
"Oh, right, I'll show you a message," Venerable White said with a smile, tapping and swiping on his phone screen.
A ray of light flew out from the phone, landed in the void and transformed into something resembling a 'projector screen', displaying a news article.
What terrible modifications did the Venerable White make to Mr. Cellphone...?
Cough... The news is about 'passengers of the missing plane stranded on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, who were fortunate enough to encounter a mysterious tycoon'.
Reports indicate that all the missing crew members and passengers have been able to contact their families and report that they are safe.
The report also mentioned that a luxury cruise ship is heading towards the Pacific Ocean and will be able to bring all the missing passengers back within a month.
"Is this 'mysterious tycoon' Senior Seven Lives Talisman?" Song Shuhang asked.
The Venerable White nodded with a smile.
Song Shuhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that the teaching process on the island was progressing quite smoothly, and Senior Seven Lives Talisman was already preparing to send the passengers back.
With Senior Seven Lives Talisman around, Song Shuhang didn't need to worry about Gao Moumou and the others' safety.
As for going back in a month, that's fine too... I was planning to go to a resort island anyway, and Senior Seven Lives Talisman's Savage Island might be even more interesting.
"Senior White, could you please thank Senior Seven Lives Talisman for me?" Song Shuhang said—he had no choice, Senior White wasn't going to let him touch his phone.
"Okay." Venerable White nodded and quickly started operating on his phone.
At the same time, Venerable White spoke up again, "Also, I just received some news. The Immortal Severing Platform Battle between the 'Void Sword Sect' and the 'Chu Aristocratic Clan' is in three days. Since we have some free time, why don't we go to the Chu Aristocratic Clan? If we're lucky, we might even be able to get direct access to the scroll in the basement."
"Do we really have to go?" Song Shuhang thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He said, "Actually, Senior White, I've thought about it. I can ask Soft Feather for help with the painting in the basement of the Chu Aristocratic Clan! She has some connection with the Chu Aristocratic Clan now!"
"Soft Feather from the Chu Aristocratic Clan?" Senior White asked.
Song Shuhang nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's why I can ask her for help. With her relationship with the Chu Aristocratic Clan, she might be able to get me a chance to get my hands on the painting!"
"I see." Venerable White nodded and said, "Alright... In that case, let's contact Soft Feather later."
Venerable White had little interest in getting involved in a battle between cultivators of the 'Void Sword Sect' and the 'Chu Aristocratic Clan'. Venerable interest lay in letting Song Shuhang transform into Chu Chu and experience the process.
Song Shuhang clenched his fist excitedly. As long as he didn't turn into a girl, anything was negotiable.
************************
At this time...
At the junction of the Eastern Sea and the Pacific Ocean, there is an island where colorful butterflies flutter— Spirit Butterfly Island.
Thump thump... The airspace above Spirit Butterfly Island was being struck.
It was True Lord White Crane. He flapped his wings and cautiously inquired as he tapped the barrier, "Excuse me, is Fellow Soft Feather at home?"
We must be very careful, because the great Venerable Spirit Butterfly lives on this island.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly is a powerful senior. He is good in every way—upright and chivalrous... except that he likes to fuss over all sorts of trivial matters. He has reached the pinnacle of being meticulous about every little thing. Others may be meticulous about every little thing, but he is meticulous about every single detail!
Actually, being overly meticulous is just an exaggeration. Most of the time, Venerable Spirit Butterfly is a very kind and approachable senior... unless he switches to a strange mode.
"Is this young friend White Crane? Come in and have a chat." The laughter of Venerable Spirit Butterfly rang out, and the restrictions on the island were activated.
Following the barrier, True Lord White Crane flew into Spirit Butterfly Island and met the elegant and refined Senior Venerable Spirit Butterfly.
"Hello, Senior Spirit Butterfly. Is Soft Feather home?" asked True Lord White Crane.
"My daughter recently went out to see a good friend. Does Little Friend White Crane have something to discuss with her?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked with a smile. He was quite at ease with True Lord White Crane before him, because the other party already had someone he loved and there was no possibility between him and Soft Feather.
"It's like this, Venerable White recently emerged from seclusion and sent a gift to many fellow Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group.' This gift will automatically open in three days, and there will be a surprise then. I was just passing by, so I delivered the package to Soft Feather," True Lord White Crane said with a smile.
"Oh? Is this a gift from Fellow Daoist Bai to my daughter?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled. "Then, young friend White Crane, why don't you leave the gift with me? I'll give it to my daughter when she returns. If she doesn't return within three days, I have a way to deliver the gift to her within an hour, ensuring the surprise isn't delayed. What do you say?"
"Then I'll leave it to Senior Spirit Butterfly." True Lord White Crane handed over a wooden box with the words 'Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island' written on it.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly put the wooden box away and set it aside.
"Then this junior will take his leave." After delivering the package, True Lord White Crane cupped his hands in farewell.
"Won't you stay a little longer? It's getting late. Why don't you have a meal before you leave, young friend White Crane?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly politely invited him to stay. It was rare for a good friend to give Soft Feather a gift, and as her father, he was truly gratified. Therefore, he was in a very good mood, and incidentally, he found True Lord White Crane pleasing to the eye no matter what.
"I still have over a dozen packages to deliver, and I must finish them before the three-day surprise. Time is a bit tight." True Lord White Crane smiled apologetically, opening his Heaven-and-Earth Bag for Venerable Spirit Butterfly to see; there were still over a dozen packages to deliver inside.
Upon seeing so many gift boxes, Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled slightly, "Then I won't insist that you stay any longer, young friend White Crane. You've had a long journey... How about this?"
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly clapped his hands, and a giant colorful butterfly flew over, offering a small bottle of medicinal liquid.
"This is a specialty of Spirit Butterfly Island, a medicinal liquid that can restore fatigue and purify abnormal bodily conditions. Please don't be shy, young friend White Crane," Venerable Spirit Butterfly said with a smile.
True Lord White Crane accepted the bottle of medicinal liquid, inwardly marveling—"As expected of a seasoned Venerable One, his generosity is truly astounding." This medicinal liquid was Sixth-Grade- grade elixir, of extraordinary value, a treasure that was priceless even in the Cultivator World.
Speaking of which, during this delivery trip, True Lord White Crane received quite a few gifts that enthusiastic fellow Daoists insisted on giving him. The Daoists in the group are just too enthusiastic; they kept pushing gifts onto him, and True Lord White Crane couldn't refuse no matter how hard he tried. Besides, refusing would be considered disrespectful, really!
***************************
On the other side, Chu Aristocratic Clan.
Soft Feather flipped through her laptop out of boredom. She had sent many messages to Senior Song over the past two days, but he hadn't replied. And... she couldn't get through on the phone either; it was always out of service.
Originally, Soft Feather wanted to ask Senior Song Shuhang if he was free recently and if he would like to visit the Chu Aristocratic Clan —because the 'Transformation Brooch' was still on Senior Song, even though Sister Chu Chunying firmly refused her offer to help. However, if the Transformation Brooch was still there, it would be a 'just in case' opportunity.
Who knows, it might come in handy!
"How can we get in touch with Senior Song?" Soft Feather sighed.
While pondering, Soft Feather opened the 'Senior White Sticker Pack' she had created and casually flipped through the beautifully crafted photos of Senior White.
"Oh dear, I really want to take more photos of Senior White. I didn't take enough last time, and I still have so many creative portraits that I didn't have a chance to incorporate," Soft Feather murmured.
As they were talking, Soft Feather's eyes suddenly lit up—that's right, Senior Song should be with Venerable White, right? Since we can't contact Senior Song, we can try contacting Senior White!
Let's get started.
Soft Feather pulled up the Nine Provinces Number One Group and clicked on Venerable White's avatar. "Is Senior White there? Is Senior Song with you? Please ask Senior Song if he's free. If he is, could you please come to the Chu Aristocratic Clan? It's urgent!"
The message had barely been sent when Soft Feather received a reply from Venerable White.
"Yes, I'm free!" A concise and clear reply.
Then Venerable White replied immediately, "I'll ask Song Shuhang for you."
Soft Feather clenched her fist excitedly. "Thank you, Senior White."
"You're welcome," [smiling emoji]. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but it seemed that Venerable White's mood had suddenly improved?
On a small island in the Eastern Sea.
Song Shuhang, Doudou, the little monk, Yu Jiaojiao, and Senior White were sitting in a circle, enjoying Doudou's cooking. Don't let Doudou's Pekingese appearance fool you... she's a pretty good cook.
After all, its persistent attempts to run away from home over the years are no joke!
Song Shuhang happily picked up the large bowl and drank two bowls of soup in one go.
At that moment, Venerable White was swiping his phone when he looked up and said, "Shuhang, Soft Feather is asking if you're free."
"?" Song Shuhang looked at Senior White with a puzzled expression.
"She said if you have time, please go to the Chu Aristocratic Clan. She has something urgent to discuss with you," Venerable White said slowly.
Song Shuhang: "Soft Feather, do you have something urgent to discuss with me?"
"I just replied that she's free, and we are indeed free as well," White Venerable continued unhurriedly. Regarding the matter of the 'Thirty-Three Beast God Sect,' the Venerable had already laid out the plan and was waiting to close the net. Before obtaining the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>, both Song Shuhang and he were free.
"So, let's finish eating, pack up, and set off for the Chu Aristocratic Clan," Venerable White said with a smile, adding, "What a coincidence, three days from now."
Song Shuhang: 0_0
"Then it's settled." Venerable White smiled slightly.
Then type it in on your phone.
Venerable White: "Shuhang is free, we'll set off soon. Soft Feather, send me the coordinates of the Chu Aristocratic Clan. [smiley face emoji]"
Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island: "That's wonderful! I'll send the coordinates to you right away, senior!"
Song Shuhang: 0_0
***************************
At this time, the Chu Aristocratic Clan and the Void Sword Sect were located in the same region.
The guards of Immortal Severing Platform have arrived.
The protectors this time are true disciples of the righteous and prestigious 'Everlasting Sword Sect', two sword immortals at the Fifth-Grade Golden Core Spirit Emperor level!
Normally, for a battle like the 'Severing Immortal Severing Platform' between a powerful Chu Aristocratic Clan and the Void Sword Sect, sending at most two Peak Fourth-Grade- rank disciples would have been enough to handle the situation.
However... the Everlasting Sword Sect received reliable intelligence: Soft Feather, the beloved daughter of the Spirit Venerable Spirit Butterfly of Spirit Butterfly Island, had also come to join the fun. Therefore, the Everlasting Sword Sect gritted its teeth and sent two Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperors to bolster the situation.
With two Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor present, even if this young lady from Spirit Butterfly Island causes any trouble, shouldn't the situation at least be kept from spiraling out of control?
This is what the Everlasting Sword Sect thinks.
Under the guidance of the guardians of the Immortal Severing Platform, the leader of the Void Sword Sect and the elders of the Chu Aristocratic Clan met at the foot of the Immortal Severing Platform to begin signing the terms of the Immortal Severing Platform Battle.
Although the idea of "Immortal Severing Platform seems somewhat ridiculous and naive... at least on the Immortal Severing Platform, both sides can grit their teeth and vent all their resentment and anger on each other.
The leader of the Void Sword Sect was a sword cultivator in a black Daoist robe, with the cultivation level of Third-Grade Battle King. He stepped forward and said with a forced smile, "Elder Chu, there is no regret in life and death on the Immortal Severing Platform. Why do you have to do this? You should know that you have no chance of winning this Immortal Severing Platform... On the contrary, you will needlessly sacrifice the lives of the Chu clan. What is the point?"
"Heh." An elder of the Chu Aristocratic Clan, a muscular old man who was also Third-Grade Battle King, sneered, "Who lives and who dies is still uncertain."
The leader of the Void Sword Sect smiled eerily, "We live, you die. This is already a predetermined ending. The Immortal Severing Platform Battle is in three days. I hope that the disciples of your Chu Aristocratic Clan who are participating will not be 'stage fright' and dare not go on stage..."
