Ancient tomb exploration-want in?
Song Shuhang originally wanted to trade something else for the pearl in the hands of the white-collar Le'er —because in this situation, talking about money seemed a bit vulgar, even though everyone needs it in their lives.
Unfortunately, none of the items Song Shuhang had were suitable for the young lady Le'er in front of him.
After thinking it over, he figured, so be it. All he has to offer now is money.
"I don't know the true value of this 'pearl.' How about this, I'll pay a deposit of 100,000 first. After I have a friend help me appraise it, I'll make up the difference." Song Shuhang handed a large bundle of coins to Le'er.
"Pfft~~" Le'er stared at the bundle of coins, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You go out carrying bundles of money? Don't you find it heavy?"
"Well, since a few of my friends and I were originally planning to go to a resort island... the resort island isn't in China, and withdrawing money from it is a hassle, so I decided to bring extra cash," Song Shuhang explained.
"You're really interesting," Le'er said with a smile, taking the bundle of coins. "Well then, the transaction is complete. Don't mention the balance again, or I'll get angry!"
"Okay... thank you," Song Shuhang said earnestly.
This girl, Le'er, is clearly not the kind of person who is short of money.
Another favor owed.
Song Shuhang kept this humanity in mind.
After Song Shuhang returned to his seat, Tubo stared at the bright pearl in his hand. "Shuhang, what's this?"
"I don't know," Song Shuhang replied.
"I didn't know you'd still buy it?" Tubo said, both amused and exasperated.
"But it's a treasure, there's no doubt about that," Song Shuhang said with a smile, carefully hiding the pearl in his bosom.
As they were talking...
Bang!
The restaurant door was pushed open again.
A figure rushed into the restaurant and ran to Song Shuhang's side.
"Senior Song, I've found you!" The figure chuckled and grabbed Song Shuhang's arm. "Let's go, Senior Song. Senior White sent me to take you there; the Trade Conference is about to begin!"
"Huh? Soft Feather? Wait a minute, I'm still eating!" Song Shuhang called out.
"I can't wait any longer, let's go!" Soft Feather grabbed Song Shuhang and ran off in a flurry.
With Soft Feather's Peak Third-Grade cultivation, Song Shuhang had no power to resist and was simply dragged away.
Then, as Soft Feather ran to the door, she suddenly remembered something.
She turned around and waved to Gao Moumou and Tubo: "Oh right, I remember now. You guys are Senior Song's roommates, right? Hahaha, Senior Song and I have to go now, we'll come find you guys later!"
After saying that, without Gao Moumou to respond, Soft Feather dragged Song Shuhang away quickly.
Gao Moumou: "..."
Tubo: "..."
"Wait a minute!" Tubo suddenly slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Isn't this long-legged girl Song Shuhang's other older sister? Why would she call Song Shuhang 'senior'?"
"She's his girlfriend, right?" Mei Yi said. "Judging from her relationship with Song Shuhang, they're definitely not siblings. She's both his older sister and his senior... Could it be that she and Song Shuhang are just playing a role-playing game between lovers?"
"Role-playing? Today you're the older sister, tomorrow the younger sister? And in a few days you might be the confidante? That kid Song Shuhang, he actually plays such a shameful game." Gao Moumou gritted his teeth and said—he and Mei Yi never played like this.
******************************
Soft Feather pulled Song Shuhang all the way to the seaside, and then climbed onto a jet ski.
"Senior Song, please get in, I'll drive!" Soft Feather said excitedly.
Song Shuhang tentatively asked, "Can you drive?"
"Of course, I drove all the way here," Soft Feather chuckled. "Also, Senior Song, don't underestimate me. I've driven all kinds of transportation, whether it's airplanes or cars. Hold on tight, we might go a little fast."
Song Shuhang reached out and carefully grabbed the hem of Soft Feather's clothes.
Then, Soft Feather dodged the jet ski.
To be honest, that speed shocked Song Shuhang quite a bit—it was at most twenty-something miles per hour!
Is this what Soft Feather meant by 'the speed is a bit fast'?
"Oh dear, the formation has failed." Soft Feather complained, "These modern vehicles are so fragile. They break down after just one formation. They're not even as sturdy as a hand tractor. Oh well, it's only a short distance anyway, Senior Song, let's take our time."
"Haha. No problem, going slowly is the safest way!" Song Shuhang gave a thumbs up—it's so good that we don't have to speed.
"By the way, Senior Song. Venerable White asked me to return this phone to you. It has been modified. As long as you are within Earth's range, you can receive a signal, unless it is interfered with by a powerful array." Soft Feather turned around and handed Song Shuhang the large-screen phone.
"The renovation is already complete? So fast?" Song Shuhang took his phone, feeling a surge of warmth.
Since the driving speed was not fast, Song Shuhang comfortably swiped open his phone screen and skillfully logged into the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Bite!
System notification: Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island has shared a music file.
"Soft Feather, what did you share?" Song Shuhang asked curiously, his finger already tapping on the music file as he asked.
"I thought the song Senior Creation sang earlier was quite nice, so I recorded it and shared it in the group space," Soft Feather said without turning her head.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Oh, Mom!
Turn it off quickly, before the music starts playing!
But at this moment, his 'brain slow reaction syndrome' seemed to flare up again; he tried to turn off the music player several times, but to no avail.
Why did I have to be so impulsive?
The next moment...
"Clang, clang, clang~~ La la la la~~ It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark~~ I stand atop the city wall~~ watching the enemy besiege the city below~ Oh oh oh~~"
The unique voice of the Soul Song King, Senior Creation, rang out.
Monday, July 22, 2019, sunny.
Vajra Gentleman Saber, you have passed away...
Fortunately, this time the Soul Song King's singing was a 'recorded version,' without any sonic attacks, making Vajra Gentleman Saber Gentleman's Death more comfortable and less painful. It was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
This time, Song Shuhang wasn't the only one who "died".
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Tiantian Island Lord: "Health bar is empty..."
Vice Island Master Tian Tian: "I've already perished along with my foolish brother..."
Yang Xian Heavenly Mansion Artifact Sect: "My ears... my ears..."
Fairy Flowing Firefly: "No, I can't die yet... I still want to benefit all mankind! @Seven Venerable Seven Cultivations, @Huangshan True Lord Yellow Mountain, @Daluo Great Luo Sect True Lord Rain Moon, @Mysterious Maiden Sect Skylark, @Su Clan’s Seven... come out! Beautiful music, don't miss it!"
Soon, several senior figures were summoned.
Fifteen seconds later...
[System message: (******) Fairy Flowing Firefly has been muted by administrator Venerable Seven Cultivations for 24 hours.]
[System message: (******) Soft Feather of Spirit Butterfly Island has been muted by administrator Venerable Seven Cultivations for 24 hours.]
Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Damn it! Without warning, the Dharma King Creation's song suddenly started! My ears! Fairy Flowing Firefly, was your account hacked by Fellow Daoist Three Waves?"
The pressure of studying is immense. "..."
At the same time, Song Shuhang nudged Soft Feather: "Soft Feather, you've been muted."
"Huh? Why? I didn't do anything wrong! Who banned me?" Soft Feather said, dissatisfied.
"Senior Venerable Seven Cultivations," Song Shuhang said with a dry laugh.
"Why are you banning me?" Soft Feather cried out.
"Because of that shared music you posted," Song Shuhang replied.
"Why? It's so beautiful, that's why I shared it with the seniors in the group who didn't hear it." Soft Feather pouted, looking unhappy.
Song Shuhang: "..."
So beautiful! How did Soft Feather's musical talent grow in reverse? From what angle did she appreciate such an amazing voice?
Soft Feather pouted and vowed fiercely, "I will never share such great music with my seniors again next time."
Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang felt greatly gratified.
At the same time, he swiped his phone screen, looking at the 'Venerable Seven Cultivations' who had just spoken.
Involuntarily, the image of the tomb of the "Venerable Six Cultivations" that She Lan of the "Thousand Hands Sect" explored in yesterday's dream came to mind.
Is there a relationship between the Venerable Six Cultivations and the Venerable Seven Cultivations? Does the Venerable Seven Cultivations have five fellow disciples named First-Rebirth, Second Venerable, Third Venerable, Four Cultivations, and Five Cultivations?
After thinking for a moment, Song Shuhang typed a message in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
The pressure of reading is immense. "Senior Seven Cultivations, do you know about the 'Venerable Six Cultivations'?"
Song Shuhang's message had barely been posted when someone replied immediately.
The Always-Online Saint Seiya, Northern River's Loose Cultivator: "Eh? Young friend Shuhang knows about the Venerable Six Cultivations?"
Almost simultaneously, Venerable Seven Cultivations replied, "Where did you hear about Venerable Six Cultivations, young friend Shuhang?"
"Um, was the Venerable Six Cultivations the senior brother of the Seven Cultivations Senior?" Song Shuhang asked cautiously. After all, he had seen the tomb of the Venerable Six Cultivations. If they were fellow disciples, wouldn't that mean the Venerable Six Cultivations was already dead?
"No, I didn't call the Venerable Six Cultivations Senior Brother," the Venerable Seven Cultivations affirmed.
"Then I'm relieved." Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In fact, I got the news from a disciple of the Thousand Hands Sect. This disciple had explored the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations.' In other words, the Venerable Six Cultivations has already died and his cultivation has dissipated."
"Oh, oh, oh, the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations, that's it!" the Venerable Seven Cultivations replied immediately.
"Senior, do you know?" Song Shuhang asked curiously.
"Ah, I know. That tomb is currently on a meteorite in space. Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations. Has He Ren in the group been there yet?" said the Venerable Seven Cultivations.
"Not yet. I remember visiting the Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations," replied the Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Haha, that's perfect. We can continue the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' Ancient Tomb exploration activity today. Which session is this? The thirteenth one, right?"
The Venerable Seven Cultivations then asked, "So, young friend Song Shuhang, would you like to explore the Ancient Tomb?"
