The Art of Sleeping In

"Of course, I will try my best to increase the success rate of this talent. As for Doudou, your luck seems to be not very good today. It's not a high chance, but you just happened to run into it." Young Master Phoenix Slayer stepped out of the Giant Cocoon and jumped to the side of Doudou, who had turned into a puddle.

Doudou asked in terror, "What do you want to do?"

"Hehe." Young Master Phoenix Slayer chuckled softly. He glanced around the room and then found a bucket-shaped object in the corner, which he brought back.

"Phoenix Slayer, you bastard, you're not planning to put me in there, are you? No, no! That's a wine barrel! If you put me in there, my body will mix with the wine inside!" Doudou cried out in terror.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong, because this barrel is empty," Young Master Phoenix Slayer reassured him. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the slime-like Doudou from the ground, mercilessly stuffing it into the barrel.

"All done, what a pleasant morning." Young Master Phoenix Slayer patted the wine barrel, satisfied.

Yu Jiaojiao: "..."

"Shuhang, save me! I don't want to be locked in the wine barrel!" Doudou cried out for help.

Song Shuhang sighed softly. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have acted that way in the first place.

When Doudou pleaded with him for help, Senior Phoenix Slayer's sharp gaze fell upon him, and his fifth tail swayed slightly—a Guoguo threat! If he were to plead with Senior Phoenix Slayer for Doudou's sake, wouldn't he soon turn into a pile of 'Shuhang' too?

So Song Shuhang cleverly ignored Doudou's cries for help. "Ah, it's time already, it's time to wake up Senior White."

"That's right, Senior White should be up!" True Lord White Crane happily chimed in, he had been waiting for Song Shuhang to say that.

Song Shuhang took out his phone and dialed Venerable White's number.

After ringing about ten times, Venerable White finally answered the phone.

A lazy voice came through the phone. "Hello~~"

"Hello, Senior White. It's already daytime, it's getting late, please get up quickly," Song Shuhang said in a low voice.

"It's morning already? That's too fast, it feels like I just closed my eyes." Venerable White kept yawning. "Hmm~ So, let me sleep a little longer. Besides, it's not even dawn yet."

"Senior White, it's already dawn! If you stay huddled in that cocoon, your day will never come!" Song Shuhang wanted to roar, but he was afraid his roar would startle Senior White.

If Senior White gets startled and accidentally falls, it will be a human tragedy.

"Hmm, I see... But it's still so dark, let me sleep a little longer." Venerable White said softly, his voice growing weaker and weaker, as if he might fall asleep again at any moment.

Song Shuhang only learned today that Venerable White could actually stay in bed longer than usual, and would use excuses like "It's still dark, I really want to sleep."

"Senior White, listen to me! It's already dawn outside. You'll see when you come out of your cocoon. Besides, we're heading to a new location today to film a new scene. You're the lead actor, so hurry up and get ready!" Song Shuhang anxiously.

Venerable White: "Hmm... Oh... Um..."

Song Shuhang sensed something was wrong. Venerable White's response was completely mechanical. "Senior White, are you even listening to me?"

Venerable White: "Hmm, yes, I'm listening..."

"Then get up quickly, Senior White. We can't do without you as the lead actor in the upcoming movie shoot," Song Shuhang.

Venerable White: "Hmm, yes, I can't be left out, after all, I'm the protagonist."

Song Shuhang: "..."

Senior White, is this just repeating his words?

"Senior White, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to break free of my cocoon!" Song Shuhang threatened.

Venerable White: "Um... no, if I do that, I might instinctively retaliate."

Song Shuhang's knees buckled; the Venerable White's counterattack could Body-and-Soul Annihilation in one strike.

"Then get up by yourself!" Song Shuhang said through gritted teeth.

"But... I want to sleep a little longer. It's very dark, and it's a good time to sleep," the Venerable White murmured.

There's absolutely no way to communicate anymore.

The Venerable White murmured again, "So please stop disturbing me and let me sleep a little longer."

"What will happen when the movie starts filming?" Song Shuhang asked, both amused and exasperated.

"Hmm... oh! Shuhang, we haven't gone to the White Cloud Academy yet, have we?" Venerable White seemed to remember something and said in a low voice.

Senior White's voice grew softer and softer, Song Shuhang found it difficult to hear him speak through the phone.

"We are still at your Vacation Manor, Senior White, but we will be heading to the Confucian School White Cloud Academy in a little while," Song Shuhang replied.

Venerable White said, "Hmm... So, you can put me in the cocoon and bring me to the White Cloud Academy!"

Senior White felt he had come up with a brilliant idea. This way, he could sleep inside the Giant Cocoon for a while longer.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Taking Senior White's still inside the cocoon, to the White Cloud Academy? Senior White is really going all out to stay in this Giant Cocoon and sleep a little longer.

What a load of nonsense!

"Stop saying such capricious things, Senior White! Get out of that Giant Cocoon already!" Song Shuhang said through gritted teeth.

"Then it's settled... Remember to bring my little nest to the White Cloud Academy," said Venerable White.

Is this Giant Cocoon going to be upgraded to Senior White's little nest so quickly?

You own countless luxurious Vacation Manor, how can such a small cocoon satisfy you? Don't be so pathetic.

Song Shuhang didn't even know where to begin complaining.

No, no, the most important thing now is to wake Senior White up. We absolutely can't let him stay in bed any longer.

Just as Song Shuhang was about to say something, his phone was snatched away.

It was True Lord White Crane. After watching Song Shuhang and Venerable White chat for so long, it finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Senior White, leave the Giant Cocoon to me. I will definitely move it perfectly to the White Cloud Academy." True Lord White Crane said firmly, "Even if I die, I will complete the mission!"

"Hmm, hmm, then I'll leave it to you, Shuhang. I'm going to... sleep a little longer," Venerable White murmured, then hung up the phone.

"No problem, Senior White." True Lord White Crane was in tears. "But I am White Crane."

Unfortunately, Venerable White had already hung up the phone, could not hear its voice.

True Lord White Crane suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang: "..."

"Here you go!" True Lord White Crane handed the phone back to Song Shuhang: "Leave the matter of moving Senior White to me. It's just a two-meter-tall cocoon; I can move it easily."
