Little Shuhang, frozen stiff
Onion Lady's escape plan was theoretically sound, and her timing was perfect. With no experts watching, she only needed to be careful to avoid the Chu Household disciples without any trouble—especially since two Chu Household disciples were watching the 'Hand Tractor Race' live broadcast, greatly increasing her chances of success.
Most importantly, Song Shuhang did not leave any 'tracking marks' or anything like that on her.
Onion Lady carefully jumped out of Song Shuhang's pocket, and then, taking advantage of the two Chu Household' inattention, she quietly rolled out through the open car window.
The moment her body touched the ground, she was incredibly excited, screaming in her heart: 'Hahaha, I'm free again! Yay!'
Next, she needed to escape quickly... There were too many cultivators gathered around, making it very unsafe. After all, she was still attached to the Enlightenment Stone, which was considered a cultivation "cheat" by cultivators.
If she's not careful, she might escape one danger only to fall into another.
Onion Lady carefully rolled under the car. Two eyes grew out of the little onion, observing the situation in all directions, searching for an escape route.
"Too many cultivators ahead, won't do; the left side won't work either; the rear is the competition area, even more so; hmm, there are fewer people on the right, and there are plenty of cover. Let's break through from the right!"
After carefully observing the route, Onion Lady cautiously looked up at the sky. There were many cultivators standing on the clouds. Hopefully, no one was paying attention to this side.
Just as Onion Lady's gaze quietly drifted towards the sky, she met a pair of clear, pure eyes.
Those eyes were crystal clear, like the eyes of a newborn baby, without a trace of evil.
But Onion Lady felt her whole body go numb and began to tremble.
Above the car, a palm-sized figure of 'Song Shuhang' was hovering.
The boy, Song Shuhang, was no bigger than the palm of his hand. He was bald and wearing a Jade-Green Kasaya.
At this moment, the Little Shuhang boy was looking at Onion Lady with curiosity.
"Why!" Onion Lady roared inwardly. Why was little Song Shuhang sitting on the roof of the car? And judging from his expression, he was clearly watching her every move from beginning to end!
What exactly is this Song Shuhang? Has he mastered the terrifying technique of creating Song Shuhang?
Suddenly, Onion Lady had a flash of inspiration; she remembered something— Spirit Ghost!
It seems that Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost recently achieved complete synchronization with Song Shuhang, resulting in some unusual changes.
This Song Shuhang, no bigger than the palm of your hand, must be that Spirit Ghost.
However, without a master's command, Spirit Ghost usually stay inside their master's body and won't come out on their own, right?
Why is Spirit Ghost appearing on the roof of the car? Could it be... that this is Song Shuhang's order?
Could it be that Song Shuhang had anticipated her escape from the very beginning, and therefore sent Spirit Ghost to monitor her?
Damn it, you scheming bitch!
Just as Onion Lady was lost in thought, Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost floated down from the roof of the car and stood in front of Onion Lady.
The Spirit Ghost did indeed appear because of Song Shuhang's 'order'... but not to monitor Onion Lady.
After the 'Young Master Phoenix Slayer Tractor' tractor had transformed, Song Shuhang had an idea—he wanted to use the visual synchronization of the Spirit Ghost to use the 'God's-Eye View' mode.
At that moment, the Spirit Ghost received the order, emerged from Song Shuhang's body, and floated onto the roof of the car.
In fact... if the Spirit Ghost hadn't crawled out of Song Shuhang's body, Onion Lady would have been caught by the Spirit Ghost the moment she emerged from the pocket.
The Spirit Ghost and Song Shuhang were connected by mind, so naturally he couldn't let Onion Lady escape.
At this moment, the Spirit Ghost stood in front of Onion Lady, its eyes darting around.
Finally, it looked at the 'onion tip' in Onion Lady's hand. The palm-sized Spirit Ghost reached out without hesitation and grabbed the onion tip.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" Onion Lady whispered, "These are her onion tips!"
"Hehe." The Spirit Ghost didn't speak, but let out a smug laugh. Then, with a Spirit Ghost snatch, it took the scallion tip from the Onion Lady's hand.
At this moment, Spirit Ghost's cultivation level was on par with Song Shuhang's, having also advanced to the Second-Stage True Master realm. Snatching the belongings of the First-Grade Realm Onion Lady would be a piece of cake for him.
After snatching the scallion tip, the Spirit Ghost held it up and examined it carefully for a long time.
Then, to Onion Lady's astonishment, the Spirit Ghost swallowed the scallion tip in one gulp.
"Burp~~" After finishing the scallion tips, the Spirit Ghost even let out a satisfied burp.
"You ate it... you actually ate my head! That was my head, you demon!" Onion Lady gritted her teeth in fury, ready to pounce on the Spirit Ghost and fight it to the death.
However, before Onion Lady could even utter a cry, the Spirit Ghost had already flicked its finger lightly against Onion Lady's onion.
Thump~~
With just a flick of his finger, a faint stream of true energy was injected into Onion Lady's body.
Onion Lady closed her eyes and fainted. Her hands and legs retracted, and her body transformed back into a tender onion growing on the Enlightenment Stone.
"Burp~~" The Spirit Ghost let out another burp, picked up Onion Lady and Enlightenment Stone, and quietly returned to the car, stuffing the Enlightenment Stone back into Song Shuhang's pocket.
The entire process was seamless and went unnoticed by He Ren. If the Spirit Ghost's stealth skill is at its maximum level of ten, then it's at least level Seventh-Level.
Even if Song Shuhang himself came to control it, he couldn't achieve the same level of concealment as the Spirit Ghost.
This ability is an inheritance from the depths of Spirit Ghost's memory... It comes from some fragments of memory from when that 'rogue cultivator' Li Tiansu disappeared and Dissolution into the Dao.
Li Tiansu has already died and vanished. But his fragmented memories have now transformed into some of the instincts of the Spirit Ghost, essentially adding many basic skills to it.
After throwing Onion Lady back into Song Shuhang's pocket, the Spirit Ghost did not return to Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture.
He floated curiously inside the car, looking at Sima Jiang, who was still unconscious not far from Song Shuhang's body, and a large box next to Sima Jiang.
Spirit Ghost possess considerable intelligence, especially Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost, which has undergone mutation and is even more intelligent than ordinary Mid-Rank Spirit Ghost.
After undergoing the mutation process, it was as if the Spirit Ghost had been reset and reborn. At this time, the Spirit Ghost was still like an infant, and he still needed to learn a lot of knowledge.
The Spirit Ghost and Song Shuhang were telepathically connected, so the spirit knew that the large box was a delivery box, escorted by Jiang from the nearby Harvest Express.
Packages are personal items, and it's very impolite to open someone else's package without permission. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Ghost's personality is inherited from its owner, and it wouldn't open the package.
However, at this moment, the Spirit Ghost felt an unusually familiar sensation emanating from the delivery box.
How can I best describe that feeling?
Blood ties!
Yes, the Spirit Ghost sensed an indescribable resonance between himself and the contents of the delivery box. It seemed to be calling to him, calling out to him.
So, without thinking, the Spirit Ghost reached out and touched the delivery box.
The heavy box couldn't stop the Spirit Ghost in its ethereal form. Its body easily passed through the outer box and entered the inner box.
Then, the Spirit Ghost saw that inside the box was an enormous block of ice!
The ice block had hundreds of layers of seals around its edges, firmly sealing it and preventing its cold air from escaping. That's why Sima Jiang and the others didn't feel the cold when they were handling the package.
"It's just a block of ice? Why is it connected to my bloodline?" the Spirit Ghost wondered.
After thinking for a moment, the Spirit Ghost cautiously reached out and touched the block of ice.
Strangely, the hundreds of layers of restrictions did not stop the Spirit Ghost; his hand passed through the restrictions and touched the ice block itself.
The next moment, a bone-chilling cold emanated from the ice coffin and reached the Spirit Ghost's hand.
The Spirit Ghost was startled and instinctively tried to pull his hand back.
But... it was too late.
In an instant, the ice spread up the Spirit Ghost's arm. Then, the Spirit Ghost was frozen solid.
It became firmly connected to the ice coffin, solidifying into a block of ice.
This ice can even freeze spirits; it's clearly not ordinary ice.
************************************
On the track of the Hand Tractor Race.
The commentator for the Cultivator Daily, 'Jiang Shan,' exclaimed passionately: [The Tribunal's punishment for number 44, 'Young Master Phoenix Slayer,' is out! Since this Young Master Phoenix Slayer's first offense, the Tribunal only punished Young Master Phoenix Slayer by making him experience the 'Spiral Ascension in Place' trap again and ordering him to disengage from the hand-held tractor-tire transformation! The Tribunal's punishment is quite lenient. In my opinion... they should have directly punished Young Master Phoenix Slayer by sending him back to the Qidian! Cough cough!]
[Okay, we can see that Young Master Phoenix Slayer has deactivated his cool transformation into a hand-held tractor... Oh, Prince Extinction #44 is flying again, once again becoming a scenic view on the track... Let's admire Spiral Ascension Number 44 Hand Tractor as it spirals into the sky once more! I have a feeling this isn't Prince Extinction #44's first Spiral Ascension, and it definitely won't be the last!]
Song Shuhang was once again Spiral Ascension.
He felt that this Hand Tractor Race was all about 'spinning around and around,' constantly spinning in different ways, until it made him feel nauseous and want to vomit.
The commentator's loud voice came from beside me.
Upon hearing that voice, Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and said, "I remember, the commentator is 'Jiang Shan,' right? I'll remember that name! I can't take it anymore, I feel like throwing up."
The fellow cultivators he had finally managed to overtake were all whizzing past him again.
"Keep sharing, Shuhang!"
"You've really made a splash, young friend Shuhang! Senior Whirlwind must be very envious of you!"
"Haha, young friend Song has become a sight to behold again." Mad Saber Three Waves had somehow fixed his tractor and sputtered past Song Shuhang, leaving a trail of laughter in his wake.
"Achoo~~Achoo~~" Song Shuhang, who was spinning, suddenly sneezed several times. For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
It's so cold, it feels like I've been thrown into the South Pole ice sheet.
