No, Please, No!
At the entrance to the Chu Household Grounds, two members of the Chu Household were guarding it.
Soft Feather has been staying at the Chu Household for the past few days. The Chu Household members recognize her as a friend of Miss Chu Chunying, and she did not encounter any obstacles when entering the Chu Household Grounds.
At this moment, Song Shuhang spoke up and asked, "By the way, fellow Daoists, did you see a senior dressed in white returning with your Chu Household's genius, Miss Chu Chu?"
The two guards scratched their heads, staring at Song Shuhang, "Senior Sister Chu Chu, what happened yesterday? Although you are indeed a genius..." But praising oneself as a genius always makes one feel a little embarrassed.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Holy crap, I forgot I'm supposed to look Chu Chu right now!
He sighed. However, based on the words of the two guardians, he could deduce that Venerable White hadn't returned to the Chu Household Grounds with Chu Chu. Could it be that Senior White had concealed himself and taken Chu Chu deeper into the family's territory?
Given Senior White's straightforward personality, it's quite possible!
So, Song Shuhang and Soft Feather entered the Chu Household Grounds together and headed to the residence that Chu Chunying had arranged for Yu Rouzi.
Along the way, Song Shuhang and Soft Feather chatted about some things.
"Speaking of which, Soft Feather, didn't you receive a gift from Senior White recently?" Song Shuhang was quite curious, after all, he had seen a gift box with 'Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island' written on it by Venerable White.
"I haven't received it yet." Soft Feather shook her head.
"That's strange, Senior White sent you that package," Song Shuhang muttered, but then he laughed, "But it's best if you didn't receive it, otherwise you would have become one of the meteor Shower members along with the seniors from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' today."
"Huh?" Soft Feather immediately turned her head and stared at Song Shuhang: "Senior Song, are you saying that I was originally going to become a shooting star in the meteor Shower?"
"Yeah, that was a truly disastrous experience. Spiral Ascension, flying in the air in all sorts of outrageous ways, meteor Glow Effect, and you saw the way we landed too—how many craters the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' seniors smashed into the front of the Immortal Severing Platform! I even personally witnessed the screams of Senior Su Clan’s Seven and Senior Copper Trigram Immortal Master when they ascended to heaven," Song Shuhang said with lingering fear.
"Spiral Ascension, super exciting flight mode, meteor Glow Effect, booming landing," Soft Feather murmured, then clenched her small fist. "Just thinking about it... it sounds pretty thrilling."
"Huh?" Song Shuhang wondered if he had misheard.
"Damn it, why did all the other seniors receive gifts but I didn't? I want to Spiral Ascension too! I want to fly thrillingly in the air! I want to become a shooting star! I want to go to space!" Soft Feather poked two fingers together, looking aggrieved.
Song Shuhang: "..."
I originally thought Soft Feather was one of the more normal members of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group,' and that our thought processes were basically on the same level. But I never expected... she's the most abnormal one in the Nine Provinces Number One Group!
As they talked, the two walked deeper into the Chu Household Grounds. The guest room where Soft Feather was staying was actually Chu Chunying's residence, located deep within the family's territory...
***************************
On the other side, in front of the Immortal Severing Platform.
Jian Yuanhai, the Supreme Elder of the Void Sword Sect, and Chu Kangbo of the Chu Household stood facing each other. Jian Yuanhai gripped his sword tightly and stared intently at Chu Kangbo.
The opponent appears to be seriously injured; perhaps he has a chance?!
Under the Immortal Severing Platform.
The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group finally managed to persuade Venerable White to stay, making many promises—such as letting Venerable White personally visit some of their overseas arms manufacturing companies.
It was only with great difficulty that Venerable White temporarily abandoned his idea of dismantling the missile.
So, with nothing else to do, Venerable White borrowed a laptop from Northern River's Loose Cultivator —as Always-Online Saint Seiya in the group, Northern River's Loose Cultivator was still carrying a laptop when he was Spiral Ascension and turned into a shooting star.
After borrowing the computer, Venerable White took out a wooden object that looked somewhat like a USB receiver and plugged it into the computer.
Then, Venerable White's fingers flew across the keyboard as he began operating the laptop.
The True Lord Yellow Mountain, Fairy Lychee, Doudou, and the Northern River's Loose Cultivator were standing next to Venerable White, glanced curiously at the screen, wanting to see what Venerable White was doing on the computer.
Upon seeing that, Doudou burst out laughing, "Pfft~~ Pfft pfft pfft~~"
On the computer screen, one file after another was opened by Venerable White.
There's the image of the True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey screaming as he's Spiral Ascension... There's the Fairy Lychee, only wearing pajamas, looking dazed... There's the Eastern Fairy maintaining her dance pose, but suddenly being lifted into the sky with expressions of terror and anger... There's the True Lord Yellow Mountain calmly being carried away while holding a rice bowl... There's the Snow Wolf Cave Master shedding tears as he's spinning in the air while bathing his Xiaoxue... There's the Northern River's Loose Cultivator with snot and drool flying everywhere... There's the True Lord White Crane revealing his true form, his neck knotted from the spinning flight...
Then, there was the scene of Mad Saber Three Waves, naked from the waist down, tightly embracing Zui* Jushi (sorry, the group members can't remember Jushi's name again), the two of them embracing each other, with the cave ceiling above their heads.
Later, there's a scene where Mad Saber Three Waves tears the layman's clothes, and the two of them spin in the air like giant fans—it's so beautiful it's blinding!
The Venerable White calmly took screenshots of each of these expressions, skillfully placed them into an 'emoji generator', and calmly clicked the OK button.
At the same time, His Venerable selected the picture from each person's photos that showed the most terrified screams and the most joyful tears, put it into the 'animated emoticon generator', and calmly pressed the confirm button again.
"No! Senior White!" Mad Saber Three Waves screamed loudly!
"No! Senior White!" Drunken Hermit shouted back.
"No, Senior White!" Fairy Lychee flew towards Senior White.
"No! Senior White! Stop!"
"No... stop!"
"NO... STOP, Senior White!" This was True Lord White Crane's scream; his neck twisted into a pretzel was too embarrassing.
The Nine Provinces Number One Group was immediately thrown into chaos, with all the fellow cultivators rushing towards Venerable White, trying to snatch the computer and stop Senior White.
"Hehehe." Venerable White turned his head and gave a cold smile to the fellow Daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. They wanted to snatch the computer from him? What a joke! He was Seventh-Grade Venerable!
Then, a few breaths later...
All fellow Daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, you're all dead!
Venerable White pressed the 'OK' button with satisfaction, and then uploaded the 'Collection of Fifty Fellow Daoists' Emoji Packs' to the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' space.
"Hmm, this emoji is too crudely made. I'll find a forum with experts later and ask someone to create a nice, well-made one," Venerable White murmured.
What? You're asking a forum to create a meticulously crafted 'premium emoji pack'? Doesn't that mean this emoji pack won't just circulate in group chats, but will spread across the entire internet?
No, absolutely not! It's too shameful! If word gets back to the Cultivator World Cultivation World, how will they ever be able to face anyone again?
"Senior White, I suggest we ask Soft Feather to make some emojis! The emojis she makes are fantastic." True Lord Yellow Mountain trembled as he extended his hand, giving a thumbs up—at this moment, he absolutely couldn't be hesitant to betray his teammates.
Venerable White rubbed his chin. "Alright, we'll see when the time comes."
True Lord Yellow Mountain's arm fell limply... Brothers, I did my best!
******************************
Meanwhile, Song Shuhang and Soft Feather approached the center of the Chu Household Grounds.
Suddenly, Soft Feather made a swift move, covering Song Shuhang's mouth and nose.
Then she quickly pulled Song Shuhang backward, retreating nearly a meter before stopping.
Soft Feather's divine power remained undiminished. Song Shuhang felt that he had clearly advanced to the Second-Grade Realm... but he was still powerless against Soft Feather and was easily dragged backward by her.
"Did something happen?" Song Shuhang asked with difficulty, his mouth and nose covered by Soft Feather.
"There's a mist, a kind of mist that even cultivators with open Nose Aperture would find hard to detect. Even Third-Grade Cultivator would quickly fall into a coma if they smelled it too much. Fortunately, I was trained by my father, so I'm very sensitive to these things," Soft Feather said, frowning.
Yes, before a daughter goes out to make her way in the world, a good father must first train her to be resistant to drugs and the like. This is of utmost importance!
For example, some good fathers nowadays will take their daughters out for drinks after they grow up, get them drunk, and use this to test their alcohol tolerance. Then the next day, the father will gently warn his daughter, "Daughter, this is your limit. In the future, Dad won't be able to be by your side all the time, so you must remember your limits and not let bad people get you drunk."
Although many fathers, while trying to imitate the old man's drinking habits, after a few rounds of drinks, in a hazy state... they seem to hear their daughter's bold voice. "Hey~~ Dad, your alcohol tolerance isn't good. Boss, bring me two more bottles of Erguotou!"
"Mist?" Song Shuhang gripped the hilt of the Overlord Shatter Saber, and then asked, "Can the Turtle-Breathing Technique prevent the inhalation of this mist?"
Since it's something you inhale, you can just stop breathing it in, right?
"Huh? Senior also learned the Turtle-Breathing Technique?" Soft Feather exclaimed in surprise—could it be that Senior, like her senior brother, is too lazy to breathe? So he practices the Turtle-Breathing Technique?
"Ah, yes. That was a... arduous but interesting memory." Song Shuhang recalled his last impromptu space trip.
Then, Shuhang reached out and drew the 'Turtle-Breathing rune' on his palm.
He then cast a 'Turtle-Breathing Technique' on himself and Soft Feather.
After reaching the Second-Stage True Master level, using 'True Qi' to inscribe runes seems to be much more effective than using Qi and Blood Qi Power. It also feels like the duration of the Turtle-Breathing Technique has increased.
"Let's go, let's explore the depths of the Chu Household compound." Soft Feather was eager to go; she felt her adventurer's spirit burning brightly...
