Seeing Things from Another Angle!
In fact, there are some things we need to view and understand from a different perspective— Venerable Spirit Butterfly
"Impossible!" The strange, burly man of the Fourth-Grade was shocked. He was at the Fourth-Grade Xiantian Realm, and with the demon bloodline in his body, his spiritual power and senses were far more acute than those of human cultivators of the same level.
However, according to his senses, there was nothing behind him at all, and no aura whatsoever.
But this heavy male voice rang out so abruptly!
Someone actually managed to bypass his senses and mental detection, and silently stand behind him?
Terrifying. Just how powerful must this person be?
The strange, burly man, Fourth-Grade, almost instinctively rolled to the side... He needed to create distance from the people behind him first!
As he rolled, his gaze swept towards the area behind him.
There stood a man with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a blue outfit and was incredibly handsome, the kind of handsome that was unparalleled.
At this moment, the man's brows were furrowed, and it was clear at a glance that he was in a very bad mood!
Just as the strange, burly man of the Fourth-Grade was rolling around frantically, the man said in a deep voice, "When... did I tell you to get lost?"
The man didn't even lift a finger when he uttered this question, yet his words seemed to possess the power to Word-Follows-Law.
The burly man of the Fourth-Grade, who was rolling around, seemed to be frozen in place, as if struck by a 'Body-Fixing Technique'. He remained in a head-down, feet-up rolling position, stiffly rooted to the spot, unable to roll forward or backward!
The burly man, Fourth-Grade, was terrified. What was going on? Why couldn't he move his body?!
"What's going on? Move! Damn it, my body, move for me!" the Fourth-Grade man screamed inwardly. But every muscle and every meridian in his body seemed to be trembling with terror. In this state, his body was simply unable to keep up with his will.
Why is this happening? What level of strength does this man possess?
One sentence, just one sentence, and he was powerless to resist!
"How dare you, a piece of trash like you, threaten to kill my entire family?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly said coldly.
As they spoke, a Spirit Butterfly quietly appeared on the Venerable's shoulder.
The Spirit Butterfly flitted past, its beautiful wings flashing like a sword, instantly slicing through the throat of the Fourth-Grade man.
Blood spurted wildly; the blood of the Fourth-Grade man stained the beautiful Spirit Butterfly a vibrant red.
The Spirit Butterfly gently fluttered its wings, instantly absorbing the blood from its body. The vibrant red color blended into its own, making it even more pleasing to the eye.
The burly man of the Fourth-Grade gradually lost focus—until his death, he remained frozen in his 'rolling' pose!
The Spirit Butterfly flew back and landed on the Venerable's shoulder, gently flapping its wings.
The Venerable nodded in satisfaction. "Remember the aura of this bloodline... From this day forward, no creature possessing the aura of this bloodline shall be allowed to approach within a thousand miles of Spirit Butterfly Island."
In other words, once any 'Sea Urchin Warrior' bloodline approaches within a thousand miles of Spirit Butterfly Island, even if they are just passing by unknowingly, they will be mercilessly annihilated by Spirit Butterfly Island.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly had no interest in this hybrid race of human and demon called 'Sea Urchin Warrior'... nor did he have any desire to study them.
After that, Venerable Spirit Butterfly didn't even bother to glance at the Fourth-Grade giant again. He turned his head and looked at his daughter Soft Feather.
In that instant of turning his head, the Venerable's expression changed drastically. His previously heavy and displeased look suddenly transformed into a gentle and kind one. He softly called out, "Soft Feather."
"Father." Soft Feather chuckled and waved to the Venerable.
She felt somewhat uncomfortable meeting her father at this scene—because, you see, she had secretly slipped away from Spirit Butterfly Island again. Remember, she had packed herself into a large box and been shipped out by courier.
A daughter who ran away from home, facing her father who had traveled a long way... the scene was somewhat awkward.
"Have you had enough fun this time?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled.
His smile emboldened Soft Feather —she knew that as long as her father smiled like that, he wouldn't hold it against her for running away from home.
"Hehe, Dad, you're the best!" Soft Feather, like a swallow returning to its nest, rushed towards her father in her armor, giving Venerable a warm hug. If it weren't for Venerable Spirit Butterfly's high strength, she really wouldn't have been able to withstand being hit by such a lump of iron.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly reached out and gave her daughter a hug, then tapped her helmet forcefully. "You..."
The Venerable had prepared many reprimands for his daughter, but when faced with his daughter's coquettish behavior, he couldn't utter a single word.
Then, Venerable Spirit Butterfly looked at Song Shuhang, the 'Chu Chu' version, who was standing not far away, covered in blood.
"Soft Feather's new friend?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked.
Soft Feather chuckled and said, "No, this is Senior Song, whom I mentioned to Father!"
"Young friend Song Shuhang?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly looked at Song Shuhang again. Was this little girl in the black dress the 'young friend Shuhang's who had mistakenly entered the Nine Provinces Number One Group?
--Strange, he remembered that the fellow cultivators in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' mentioned Song Shuhang, wasn't he a man?
The Venerable felt he didn't have dementia; he remembered very clearly that Song Shuhang was a man!
What's the deal with this girl in the black dress?
The Venerable looked Song Shuhang up and down again.
Wait a minute... isn't that the Transforming Brooch from his 'Soft Feather Toy Series' that he made before?
Soft Feather loved playing with this little brooch that had the ability to change shape when she was little.
However, now, a skilled fellow Daoist has enhanced the 'Transforming Brooch's' illusionary ability with an array, causing the Venerable to not even be able to see the brooch's illusionary form.
Interesting!
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly. Then, the Venerable easily saw through Song Shuhang's true appearance under the 'Transforming Brooch'.
He was a young man about 1.8 meters tall, with regular features and a conspicuous bald head. Overall, he had a handsome and kind appearance.
However, what made the Venerable's mouth twitch was that Song Shuhang was wearing a black short skirt, stockings, and a short sword strapped to one side of her legs.
[A cross-dressing pervert!] This was the first striking label that Venerable Spirit Butterfly immediately attached to the impression of 'Young Friend Song Shuhang'.
Unexpectedly, the young friend Shuhang, who received unanimous praise from fellow Daoists in the group, turns out to be a cross-dresser!
"Senior Spirit Butterfly, greetings." Song Shuhang followed the way seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' greeted Venerable Spirit Butterfly with respect.
He had learned from observing Soft Feather's father Venerable Spirit Butterfly, that he was a generous and kind elder. However, while Venerable Spirit Butterfly was good in every way, he was also very calculating. He might argue with you for a long time over some Venerable Spirit Butterfly little thing.
Therefore, when dealing with Senior Spirit Butterfly, you must be careful about your every move. Never do what Senior Three Waves did and keep courting death in front of Senior Spirit Butterfly!
However, Song Shuhang smiled bitterly after speaking. His voice had been temporarily altered by Venerable White's magic, and when he opened his mouth, he uttered a delicate, Chu Chu voice.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly's lips twitched violently. "Young friend Song Shuhang, how are you?"
Cross-dressing is one thing... but to even alter one's voice is another!
Although the fellow Daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group have a very good opinion of this young friend Song Shuhang, several Daoists who have come into contact with him have given him high praise.
But now, Venerable Spirit Butterfly sensed that this young friend Song Shuhang acting rather strangely!
Is it really a good thing for my daughter to be friends with someone who has a cross-dressing fetish? Venerable Spirit Butterfly couldn't help but worry about her daughter. Everyone says a person's circle of friends is very important; wouldn't her lovely daughter be led astray?
Wait!
Wait, wait a minute!
Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. Some things need to be considered and examined from another perspective!
Perhaps, from a certain perspective, being with this cross-dressing pervert... would make Soft Feather feel more at ease than being with a gentle, kind, and somewhat handsome cultivator!
Yes, compared to the gentle and interesting 'Senior Song' that his daughter had been talking about recently, this cross-dressing version of 'Senior Song' in front of him made the Venerable feel much more at ease.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly stroked his chin and nodded secretly.
For some reason, Song Shuhang felt a little uneasy—he felt that the Venerable Spirit Butterfly was looking at him strangely.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
[Wait a minute, the Transformation Brooch was made by Venerable Spirit Butterfly. That means the Venerable should be able to see through his transformation! That explains why the Venerable's gaze towards him is so strange.]
Song Shuhang didn't want to be seen as a cross-dressing pervert, so he opened his mouth to explain to Senior Spirit Butterfly the reason for his current 'Chu Chu appearance'. At least, he wanted to leave Senior Spirit Butterfly with a normal impression. He absolutely didn't want to be seen as a pervert.
Just as Song Shuhang was about to explain, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's expression suddenly changed, filled with joy, and then his gaze became very kind.
"Hahahaha." Venerable Spirit Butterfly laughed heartily and said, "I've often heard my daughter mention my friend Shuhang recently, and when I talked with other Daoists, they often talked about him too. Seeing you today, I can see that everyone's judgment was correct. I can sense a gentle and peaceful aura from you."
After Song Shuhang entered the Second-Grade Realm, he hadn't had time to cultivate the method of 'concealing his aura'. Therefore, the spiritual power emitted by the <True Self Meditation Scripture> naturally conveyed an aura of 'good person'.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly said with a sigh, "I'm relieved that Soft Feather has a friend like you."
Such high praise from the Venerable made Song Shuhang feel incredibly flattered!
Soft Feather glanced curiously at her father. Her keen sixth sense told her that her father had just had a momentary lapse of judgment.
