So Cold! Let Me Out!

Song Shuhang leaned over for a look and saw that the boxes were filled with seawater, and then in each of the two boxes, there was a seahorse.

Song Shuhang: "..."

No wonder Young Master Phoenix Slayer was so angry; that Black Horse Spirit really deserved a beating for playing word games.

Of course, the box didn't contain Tong Hai.

They are very large; not counting their curled tails, their bodies alone are 1.5 meters long. Moreover, they have four small claws growing from their bellies and a single horn on their heads. They are indeed dragon-horses with the bloodline of Flood Dragon a type of dragon-like creature).

"Stop whipping me! I'm going to kill you if you keep whipping me! Ah, I had no choice but to bring you two Sea Dragon Horses! Because you said you didn't want any Dragon Horse with my 'bloodline' on them! But, the Dragon Horse I have... apart from the mare who's already my wife, all the others have my bloodline! I'm Big Stud Horse!" The Black Horse Spirit was whipped until he rolled on the ground.

Song Shuhang: "..."

This is the true stallion, cultivating an entire race.

"Don't tell me that besides your wives, there isn't a single stallion in your herd of Dragon Horse?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer said coldly.

The Black Horse Spirit said shyly, "No, not really. I only recently subdued this herd of Dragon Horse... I drove away all the male dragon Dragon Horse, leaving only the mares."

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "..."

This lustful Black Horse Spirit can't be driven to his knees!

"Moreover, these two Sea Dragon Horses are also very powerful. Don't underestimate them because of their small size; they possess the Flood Dragon Bloodline and are incredibly strong. They can easily ride two people. Moreover, because of their Flood Dragon Bloodline, they can not only run on land but also ride the clouds!" the Black Horse Spirit added.

That sounds really cool.

Song Shuhang imagined himself riding Sea Dragon Horse, about 1.5 meters long, like an adult riding a child's rocking horse, galloping wildly across the ground... The image was too beautiful.

At this moment, Young Master Phoenix Slayer turned to look at him and said, "Shuhang, do you want this Sea Dragon Horse?"

Song Shuhang shook his head desperately. Even an ordinary spirit beast White Horse, would be better than this Sea Dragon Horse.

"Then let's change it. Let's change it to an ordinary spirit beast White Horse," Young Master Phoenix Slayer sighed.

Just then, Yu Jiaojiao quietly tugged at Song Shuhang's hair.

Her small eyes were filled with pleading. "Fellow Shuhang, would you please accept these two spirit horses?"

A seahorse spirit beast possessing the Flood Dragon Bloodline.

And Yu Jiaojiao also possesses Flood Dragon blood... Mermaid?

Song Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao looked at each other with their big, dark eyes, and finally sighed, "Alright, Senior Phoenix Slayer, you can keep my Sea Dragon Horse."

"Hehe." Young Master Phoenix Slayer glanced at Yu Jiaojiao and laughed, "Alright, I'll keep mine for Jiaojiao too."

"Thank you, Senior Phoenix Slayer, thank you, Fellow Shuhang," Yu Jiaojiao said happily.

And so... the transaction is complete!

Song Shuhang put the Spirit Beast Crystal into the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' and handed all ten Thousand-Mile Fruits to Young Master Phoenix Slayer.

In this transaction, he gained Spirit Beast Crystal and also accepted two Sea Dragon Horse because of Yu Jiaojiao. Therefore, he cannot take the Thousand-Mile Fruit anymore.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer smiled, took five Thousand-Mile Fruits, and pushed the others back to Song Shuhang: "These Thousand-Mile Fruit are no longer of any use to me. They were originally compensation for you... I'll take five as a token of my friendship."

"Well then, young friend Shuhang, we shall take our leave."

Having said that, Young Master Phoenix Slayer picked up another large box containing the 'man in black' and flew towards the Medicine Master's house on his sword.

Song Shuhang picked up the two boxes containing the Sea Dragon Horse, nodded to the Black Horse Spirit and its subordinates, and said, "Well then, Stud Demon, I'll take my leave as well. I hope we won't meet again."

"Wait... wait a minute!" the Black Horse Spirit cried out in anguish, stretching out his hand. "Release the restrictions on me first!"

It still bears the restriction imposed by Young Master Phoenix Slayer.

"A restriction? Oh, don't worry about that. The restriction will be lifted naturally in two days." Song Shuhang smiled and waved his hand. "Goodbye then."

"Never again!" the Black Horse Spirit waved his hand bitterly.

************

On the other side.

Sima Jiang mobilized his resources and quickly dispatched an off-road vehicle from the Sanghai City branch of Harvest Express.

Song Shuhang, two Chu Household, and Sima Jiang set off for the Chu Household Grounds.

The journey was long, and because they were in a hurry, the two Chu Household disciples and Sima Jiang took turns driving, stopping frequently.

After nearly eleven hours of driving.

The group finally arrived at the small village on the outskirts of the Chu Household Grounds.

Because Sima Jiang was an ordinary person, the Chu Household disciples would not take him deep into the clan's territory.

Chu Kangbo, the Household Patriarch Chu, had already received the news and was waiting for the delivery in this small village.

The package handover is complete.

Mission accomplished, Sima Jiang bid farewell to the others.

Before leaving, the Household Patriarch Chu gave Sima Jiang two small bottles. They contained medicinal juices containing spiritual energy, which could be taken orally to slightly enhance the physique of ordinary people, with effects roughly similar to 'Spirit-Vein Jade Tea'.

After accepting the two small bottles, Sima Jiang finally broke into a bright smile. He continued to say goodbye to Song Shuhang and then drove away first.

The Household Patriarch Chu's hand trembled slightly as he stroked the large box. This package was sent to him by his good friend, the rogue cultivator Spirit Emperor Li Tiansu, before his death.

"Senior Chu, is this package... sent by Li Tiansu?" Song Shuhang asked.

Based on Sima Jiang's descriptions and the Spirit Ghost refused to leave after entering the courier service, he concluded that Li Tiansu was the only possible candidate.

"It was sent by my old friend." The Household Patriarch Chu sighed deeply.

Unexpectedly, after a period of seclusion to heal his injuries, he emerged to find his old friends and acquaintances dead. This is the cruelty of the Cultivator Realm... Sometimes, a single period of seclusion can result in a complete transformation of the outside world, with everything changed and people no longer the same.

As expected, Song Shuhang nodded.

He stared at the box—he could sense the Spirit Ghost inside. He tried to summon the Spirit Ghost, but Spirit Ghost only sent out the thought, "It's so cold, so cold," and wouldn't come out.

At this moment, the Household Patriarch Chu began to open the package.

Inside the package was a large box, inscribed with array runes, which appeared to be a sealing array. Then, a chill emanated from the large box.

The mere chill sent a shiver down the spines of the ordinary disciples near the Chu Household, who involuntarily retreated.

"Those below the Second-Grade Realm, disperse," Chu Kangbo said.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Song Shuhang. He could tell that Song Shuhang was waiting for him to open this package.

He couldn't guess Song Shuhang's thoughts—if Song Shuhang wanted the contents of the package, he would have had plenty of opportunities to steal it along the way, wouldn't he?

Now, the package has been delivered to him. With his cultivation level of Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, even a hundred Song Shuhang couldn't take this thing from him.

Was the other party simply curious about the treasure in the package?

Chu Kangbo took a deep breath, then reached out and pressed his hand against the box, opening it.

The next moment, a piece of ice crystal radiating cold air appeared in his eyes.

The cold was terrifying; as soon as Chu Kangbo opened the box, a layer of frost formed on his palm.

He was Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, impervious to heat and cold. But just touching the box made his hands freeze.

Chu Kangbo sighed softly.

He immediately guessed what was in the box—his old friend's daughter.

He knew that Li Tiansu had a daughter who suffered from a strange illness. She had an eerie chill emanating from her body, which could even freeze Li Tiansu entire body in severe cases.

This strange illness was incurable even for Li Tiansu, a Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor. For his daughter, Li Tiansu even went bankrupt.

This daughter was the only person Li Tiansu couldn't let go of before his death.

[However, if even someone as gifted as Fellow Daoist Li can't cure this Cold Illness, what can I do?] Chu Kangbo smiled bitterly to himself.

But as Li Tiansu's close friend, since Li Tiansu entrusted his daughter to him before his death, he would do his best to take care of her.

If given the chance to cure Li Tiansu's daughter, Chu Kangbo would spare no expense, even if it meant going bankrupt. Money is just an external thing; as long as he's alive, he can slowly earn back any amount of Spirit Stone he has.

Song Shuhang looked at the ice crystal, and a familiar feeling welled up in his heart.

Inside the ice coffin was a little girl with silver hair.

Her long hair was braided and hung diagonally over her shoulder. She wore a thick coat that wrapped her up like a ball.

"Li Yinzhu." Song Shuhang uttered the name involuntarily.

Inside the ice coffin was Li Yinzhu, the daughter of the rogue Li Tiansu Tianshuo.

Li Yinzhu, who was originally a graceful young woman, has been shrinking in size due to a strange illness. Now she looks only the size of a three-year-old girl.

So that explains why the delivery box was filled with cold air. No wonder the Spirit Ghost stayed in the refrigerator and wouldn't come out.

Wait a minute!

Song Shuhang quickly spotted a protrusion in what was originally a rectangular ice coffin, where the Spirit Ghost was now trapped inside the protruding ice block.

"Let me out, let me out~~ It's so cold, so cold~~" The Spirit Ghost kept sending this thought to Song Shuhang.

It turns out they weren't unwilling to come out, they just couldn't get out.

Song Shuhang was both amused and exasperated.

"Senior Chu, the package has been opened. I'll retrieve my Spirit Ghost first." Song Shuhang cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Kangbo.

Chu Kangbo had also discovered the Spirit Ghost trapped in the ice, which looked exactly like Song Shuhang.

So that's how it is. The other person was waiting for him to open the package so they could retrieve their own Spirit Ghost. But... why was the other person's Spirit Ghost inside the package?

At this moment, Song Shuhang drew his Overlord Shatter Saber, and gently slashed at the protruding ice crystal.

The protruding ice crystal was easily sliced off by the Overlord Shatter Saber. However, a thin layer of ice crystals quickly condensed on the Overlord Shatter Saber as well.

This chill is truly Tyrant.

Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Just as he was about to sheathe his Overlord Shatter Saber, a sudden change occurred. A layer of flames ignited on the Overlord Shatter Saber...
