Is This Payback?

Five minutes later...

Song Shuhang was still pressed down by the Giant Cocoon, and Venerable White still hadn't gotten up.

The crew of Jacob's Film Crew has arrived at the filming location and begun setting up the scene.

Fairy Lychee, the female lead in the upcoming movie, also went to the theater first. Most of the fellow Daoists from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' also went to the theater with her.

Only Yu Jiaojiao, Ye Si, and True Lord White Crane remained with Song Shuhang.

The True Lord White Crane is to protect two cocoons.

Yu Jiaojiao stayed by Song Shuhang's side because she had recently gained some insights into her cultivation realm, using the Enlightenment Stone to enhance her comprehension and cultivation.

Ye Si, out of curiosity, stayed by Song Shuhang's side and continued to learn simplified Chinese characters. Her learning efficiency was quite astonishing; in a short period of time, she had already mastered a large number of basic vocabulary words.

"When will filming start?" Song Shuhang sighed. Being trapped under the Giant Cocoon wasn't so bad... but this was the square of the White Cloud Academy.

Occasionally, Confucian School disciples would appear, and some of Confucian School would gather around to watch the Giant Cocoon and Song Shuhang.

Being watched is one thing; Song Shuhang feels he's gotten quite thick-skinned lately, so being watched doesn't make him uneasy.

But why were these pedantic scholars watching him with such poetic expressions?

Yu Jiaojiao replied, "Setting up the scene and setting up the camera will take some time."

Ye Si squatted down next to Song Shuhang and asked, "By the way Shuhang, your hair is growing so fast... and your eyebrows are gone too."

"There's a reason for my eyebrows. Not long ago, when I Tribulation Transcendence, my eyebrows were burned off during the Heavenly Tribulation." Song Shuhang sighed softly. "Then, when I was filming this movie, the seniors from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' felt that I was quite suitable for the role of 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' even without eyebrows, so I haven't been able to draw them back on."

Ye Si asked curiously, "What about the hair? If the eyebrows were burned off, what about the hair?"

"Haha, my hair is because I learned a great spell from Senior Creation," Song Shuhang said proudly.

Ye Si: "What kind of spell?"

"Hair-Growth Technique!" Song Shuhang explained, "Even if you're bald, you can regrow your hair by using a hair Hair-Growth Technique. It's just not easy to control; sometimes only a short layer of hair grows, and sometimes the hair grows wildly after one Hair-Growth Technique."

"This looks interesting. Shuhang, why don't you try it out now?" Ye Si asked curiously.

Anyway, there's still some time before filming starts, and it seems like Senior White won't be back anytime soon... Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well give it a try.

"Alright, then I'll show you once," Song Shuhang said.

Then he used a 'Hair-Growth Technique'.

He has never experienced any overly exaggerated Hair-Growth Technique.

But this time, perhaps because he was too close to Venerable White, the effect of the 'Hair-Growth Technique' was so outstanding that it was almost ruthless.

Long, black hair kept growing out, endlessly~ endlessly~

"Hey, Jiaojiao, Ye Si, isn't this 'Hair-Growth Technique' a bit off?" Song Shuhang.

Yu Jiaojiao: "Your hair is still growing, it hasn't stopped. Adding its original length, it's already over three meters long."

The hair was over three meters long, which was exaggerated; it was more than a meter longer than Song Shuhang's body... More importantly, the hair was still growing.

Ye Si added, "It's already close to 3.5 meters."

Yu Jiaojiao: "It's still growing. If it keeps growing, it'll feel a bit scary."

"But I can't control this either. The effect of the spell is random; it can last for a long time or a short time, which I have no control over. I hope it stops soon," Song Shuhang said, both amused and exasperated.

Finally... the effects of the Hair-Growth Technique stopped. Song Shuhang's hair had grown to nearly five meters long. If stretched out, it would be almost the height of a two-story building.

Song Shuhang: "..."

He sighed and said, "My hair's gotten too long, Ye Si. Could you cut it shorter for me?"

"Okay." Ye Si looked at Song Shuhang's long hair, made a sword shape with her fingers, and prepared to cut off Song Shuhang's long hair.

Just then, Yu Jiaojiao said, "Ye Si... Senior Sister, please wait a moment!"

Ye Si: "?"

"My hair is so long, let's cut it later. Anyway, the movie hasn't started filming yet, and I happen to have some ideas!" Yu Jiaojiao said.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang sensed something was wrong.

"For example... like this!" Yu Jiaojiao spread Song Shuhang's hair out in a fan shape, then divided it into crescent shapes and arranged them clockwise.

Ye Si asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Hmm... I don't know either, I just think it would be fun?" Yu Jiaojiao replied, taking out her phone and snapping several photos of Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Why did this scene seem so familiar to him?

"Oh dear, Song Shuhang looks a bit strange without eyebrows. Shuhang, do you have any 'eyebrow-growing techniques'?" Yu Jiaojiao asked.

"How could such magic exist!" Song Shuhang exclaimed. "Besides, as for eyebrows, can't you just draw them on?"

Yu Jiaojiao: "I'm so sorry, although I'm Fish Demon, I don't have eyebrows." As she spoke, she turned to look at Ye Si.

"I haven't drawn my eyebrows in a very long time either." Ye Si turned her head slightly—because she was Spirit Ghost now, and Spirit Ghost didn't need makeup.

Song Shuhang: "..."

"Never mind, it might look a bit strange without eyebrows, but let's take a few more pictures anyway," Yu Jiaojiao said.

A moment later.

Yu Jiaojiao then styled Song Shuhang's long hair into a crab hairstyle. Although it only had two little claws, Yu Jiaojiao's little claws were still very nimble.

Besides crabs, she also tried arranging various patterns such as swordfish, Flood Dragon, and lobsters.

Song Shuhang's five-meter-long hair allowed her to fully display her painting skills. Every time she posed, she would take a picture of Song Shuhang to commemorate the moment.

Then... Ye Si also found it interesting and joined in fiddling with the hair patterns.

Ye Si's hands were even more skillful; she could even use her long hair to create images of palaces.

"Senior Sister Ye Si, your skills are simply dazzling!" Yu Jiaojiao snapped photos rapidly. "I can use these pictures to make a meme later."

Song Shuhang: "..."

He finally remembered this familiar scene.

Not long ago, he and Miss Soft Feather also tormented Senior White, who had suddenly gone into seclusion and was unconscious, in the same way. Buns, single ponytails, double ponytails—whatever they were doing.

Is this karma?

At that moment, a blade of light flashed across the sky, lingering briefly above Song Shuhang and the others before landing near the plaza.

They are Su Clan’s Seven and Su Clan’s Sixteen.

After landing, A-Qi and Sixteen walked towards Song Shuhang's location. "Little friend Shuhang, hasn't filming started yet? Also, what game are you playing right now?"

"Senior A-Qi, Sixteen, you're here." Song Shuhang waved with a smile. "Director Jacob's crew has arrived at the filming location and is making preparations for filming. As for me... as you can see, I'm suppressed and can't get out."

"Suppression?" Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at the Giant Cocoon on Shuhang's body with a puzzled expression.

"Can't this cocoon be moved?" Su Clan’s Seven stepped forward and hugged the Giant Cocoon. "Although it looks big, it shouldn't be heavy, right?"

A moment later...

Su Clan’s Seven shook her hand. "This cocoon is so heavy, I can't move it at all. Who's inside?"

"It's Senior White." Song Shuhang looked utterly dejected.

Su Clan’s Sixteen asked curiously, "Why did Senior White suppress you?"

Song Shuhang's lips twitched. "Because Senior White refused to get out of bed and didn't want to crawl out of this cocoon, so... I hugged this Giant Cocoon and shook it a couple of times to try and get him out of bed... and the result is what you see now."

"Hehe, young friend Shuhang, you really know how to court death," Su Clan’s Seven laughed.

At this moment, Su Clan’s Sixteen squatted down next to Song Shuhang and handed him an 'invitation': "Shuhang, this is for you. This is an invitation to the [Immortal Chef Banquet], and your name is already engraved on it."

This was something Su Clan’s Seven had promised to give to Song Shuhang.

"Thank you." Song Shuhang reached out and took the invitation. At the same time, he took out a [Dragon Demon Potion] from his 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' and handed it to Sixteen: "Sixteen, this is for you."

"What is this?" Su Clan’s Sixteen asked in confusion.

"The Mutated Dragon Demon potion, once ingested, will cause you to spin Cocoon Formation," Song Shuhang chuckled.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "Is it the same as the cocoon that Venerable White spun?"

"Ah, more or less. So, before you take this medicine, you'd better learn how to Cocoon Formation," Song Shuhang reminded him.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "..."

"However, the medicine is also very effective, greatly enhancing the user's physical condition," Song Shuhang added.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "Just like you? All muscle now?"

"I'm just a special case, haha. Senior Phoenix Slayer, Snow Wolf Cave Master, and True Lord White Crane all used this [Dragon Demon Potion], and they didn't become muscular. So you can use it without worry." Song Shuhang, "If your physique is strengthened, it should help you when you Tribulation Transcendence through to the Fourth-Grade Realm."

Su Clan’s Sixteen accepted the [Dragon Demon Potion]: "Thank you, this potion... is indeed very useful to me. Well then, I'll accept it without hesitation!"

She definitely needs to improve her physical condition.

She would find an opportunity to repay this kindness when Song Shuhang went to cultivate at the Heavenly River Su Clan's Spirit Vein.

"You're welcome," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: "Also... Shuhang."

"Young friend Shuhang, the movie is about to start filming. Has Venerable White not gotten up yet?" In the distance, the Northern River's Loose Cultivator hurried over and called out to Song Shuhang.

"Finally filming? I'll wake Senior White up right away." Song Shuhang laughed heartily.
