Chapter 324
“Let’s look for a small island around here to stop at.” Venerable White threw Doudou, the small monk, and the newly captured Whale Eight on the back of the huge whale. Afterward, he gently patted it.
This whale that had sunk in the depths of the sea, ready to lead a peaceful whale-life, was on a new journey only a few minutes later…
❄️❄️❄️
The huge whale rode the wind and cleaved through waves while looking for a place to stop.
After seeing that Doudou and the small monk weren’t moving, somewhat surprised, Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, what happened to Doudou and the small monk?”
Both of them were only opening and closing their eyes, not moving their bodies in the slightest. It was impossible for them to be so well-behaved!
After hearing Song Shuhang’s voice, Doudou immediately looked at him expectantly. He cutely winked and seemed as though he could communicate with his eyes.
The small monk followed suit and continuously winked his black and shiny eyes at Song Shuhang. He had the expression of someone that was trying to curry favors—he feared that Song Shuhang would spank him until making him shit all over the place, especially now that he didn’t even have the strength to fight back.
“It’s nothing. I used a hypnotizing technique on them. Although they have regained consciousness, they can’t move their bodies. They’ll recover in around two days,” Venerable White said thoughtlessly—given his skills, it was easy to let them recover immediately.
But these two had caused a lot of trouble and needed a good lesson.
“Oh…” Song Shuhang nodded and caressed Doudou’s fur, saying, “Rest well, you’ll be able to move in two days.”
Doudou rolled his eyes, somewhat depressed. He was hoping that Song Shuhang would beg for mercy on his behalf and ask Senior White to set them free ahead of time. Unfortunately, the synergy between Song Shuhang and Doudou wasn’t as good as that of Yellow Mountain and Doudou. Song Shuhang didn’t understand the meaning behind Doudou’s looks.
Next, Song Shuhang turned toward the small monk and asked, “Guoguo, are you trying to say something? Or is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you continuously blinking?”
Venerable White turned around and looked at Guoguo. Then, he translated the meaning of his winks. “He’s probably hoping that you would forgive him for running away from home and not spank him until making him shit all over the place. That should be it.”
Senior White, you are 100% correct. Guoguo was moved to tears.
Song Shuhang furrowed his brows. “I almost forgot about that. Guoguo, you have some guts! Daring to run away by yourself…”
After hearing this much, Guoguo blinked frantically. Well, it’s not like he could do something else.
Song Shuhang grabbed the small monk and turned him over. Afterward, he ruthlessly spanked him twice.
“Spank, spank!”
Afterward, he put on a serious face and got ready to scold the little monk. But even after thinking for a while, he couldn’t find the appropriate words. After all, Shuhang was only a university student, and he didn’t know how to educate kids.
In the end, he could only say with a serious expression, “You better not run away from home a second time. Otherwise, your family members would get very worried, understood?”
The small monk inhaled through his nose and blinked a few times, expressing his understanding.
Song Shuhang heaved a sigh and returned him next to Doudou. He wasn’t heartless enough to spank this cute kid until making him shit all over the place.
“Remember, this better be the first and last time,” Song Shuhang reminded the small monk with a serious look.
The small monk secretly heaved a sigh—it seemed he had avoided a calamity.
After seeing Song Shuhang spoil the small monk, Venerable White smiled and said, “Shuhang, if you were to have children one day, I bet you would be the type of father that would spoil them.”
The words ‘father’ and ‘children’ triggered something inside Song Shuhang.
Thus, the picture of a ‘wife’ with blurred facial features appeared in his mind. Afterward followed the pictures of his son ‘Song Ren’, and his daughter, ‘Song Miao’.
Later, his son got a girl pregnant and married her, and in the end, his cute daughter also got married.
Song Shuhang rubbed his temples—these memories were very clear… and they almost seemed real!
After seeing Song Shuhang’s perplexed face, Venerable White thoughtlessly asked, “Is something the matter?”
“Senior White, do you think that you and I… ugh! I mean, do you think I had children with someone?” Song Shuhang asked cautiously.
“…” Venerable White.
Venerable White felt that Song Shuhang’s current state was a bit strange.
“Senior White, I’m not joking,” Song Shuhang said solemnly. “I have some memories left from the mysterious island. Perhaps my strength was too low, and my memories were only partially sealed, just like the child of those two friends of Medicine Master.
From what I remember… I got married to a woman? Afterward, I had a son and a daughter. Finally, I saw both of them getting married. Soon after, I cried copiously inside a sleeping bag with my wife.
Everything felt so real, I don’t think it was a hallucination. It feels as though I really experienced these matters on the mysterious island.”
Song Shuhang had a worried expression on his face.
As that wasn’t enough, his body had undergone many changes—for example, he was sure that he had just opened his Ear Aperture when he boarded the plane, but now, even his Mouth Aperture was open! But that wasn’t the end, he felt that his body had undergone other changes too. Only, he had yet to discover them.
“Don’t worry. What you experienced should be a lifelike illusion.” Venerable White pondered for a moment and added, “Anyway, if you’re still worried about this matter, you can tell Medicine Master to give your body a check-up when you meet him.”
“Is Senior Medicine Master so incredible? He can even tell whether or not a man has children?” Song Shuhang was very surprised. After all, it was the woman that would bear the child!
Venerable White replied, “We can get our answer by checking something else—for example, by seeing whether a virgin boy can have children or not.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
Although he didn’t seem to mean it that way, Song Shuhang felt as though Venerable White was taunting him.
“Whooo~ whooo~” Right at this time, the huge whale cried out.
An island had appeared in front of them!
“Come, let’s stop on that island. We need to stabilize the condition of this girl,” Venerable White said.
Song Shuhang nodded. The injuries of this girl in a black dress were too heavy. If they didn’t treat her immediately, she might die.
❄️❄️❄️
Time quickly passed by.
Chu Chu was experiencing a terrifying nightmare. It was dark all around her, and although she knew that it was only a dream, she wasn’t able to regain her senses and wake up.
“Dammit. Let me wake up! Let me wake up!” Chu Chu bellowed.
She was a genius amongst the younger generation of the Chu Family.
And very soon, the Chu Family would have to fight against the Illusory Sword School on the Grievance Settling Platform.
On the Grievance Settling Platform, the participants would be matched according to their ages.
Chu Chu was the hope of the younger generation of the family. As long as she could join the battle, their family would be able to secure a win. Even if she were to fight consecutive battles, she alone was enough to defeat the entire younger generation of the Illusory Sword School.
As you might have guessed, there wasn’t even a single Second Stage True Master amongst the younger generation of the Illusory Sword School! It was precisely for this reason that they paid a large sum of money to have someone stop her from participating in the battle.
Let me wake up! I must go to the Grievance Settling Platform and participate in the competition… I must get there in time!
As though the Heavens had heard her plea, Chu Chu finally opened her eyes.
Soon after, she saw a young man sitting beside her with a smile on his face.
Beside the young man was a little monk with a curious expression on his face, as well as a cute pekingese—Venerable White had shown mercy, and the duo could move again. However, they were still weak, and their physical abilities were the same as that of a normal person.
“Senior Brother Shuhang, the female benefactor has woken up,” the small monk said happily. For a monk, saving a life was more important than building a thousand pagodas!
Song Shuhang nodded and said to Doudou, “Doudou, go check on Venerable White. If he’s done meditating, tell him to come here and check the injuries of this fellow daoist.”
After setting foot on the island, Venerable White aligned Chu Chu’s twisted bones, drove the remnants of Whale Eight’s true qi left in her body out, and treated her serious internal injuries. However, all of this was merely not to let her injuries worsen. If they wanted to thoroughly heal her, they had to wait for Medicine Master’s arrival.
Once the emergency treatment was over, Venerable White had a sudden inspiration and decided to close up for eight hours.
Venerable White wasn’t a cultivation madman for nothing.
By now, Song Shuhang was already used to Senior White suddenly closing up.
“Woof.” Doudou barked and went to look for Venerable White, wobbling.
❄️❄️❄️
“What happened?” Chu Chu said weakly.
After saying this much, she tried to recall what happened before she passed out—she remembered that she was being chased by two assassins in the sea. Afterward, this young man before her eyes and a huge whale fell from the sky…?
Later, she was almost hugged to death by that stout man and fainted.
Chu Chu gratefully looked at Song Shuhang and said, “Are you the one that saved me?”
“Senior White is the one that saved you,” Song Shuhang said with a smile. “The state of your injury is very serious, you should rest well. After we meet another senior, we’ll have him treat your injuries.”
The state of my injury? Right, that big fellow almost killed me…
Chu Chu tried to raise her head a little to see how bad her injuries were, but as soon as she moved a little, she felt a stabbing pain all over her body.
“Don’t move. Otherwise, your wounds would open again.” Song Shuhang quickly held Chu Chu down.
“How much time do I need to recover from my injuries…?” Chu Chu asked anxiously. The match on the Grievance Settling Platform would start in a few days!
“I’m not sure. But that other senior we’re going to meet is very good at treating people. I think you’ll recover from this injury in a few months,” Song Shuhang guessed.
“A few months?” Chu Chu opened her eyes wide.
By that time, the match on the Grievance Settling Platform would be already finished, and if her family were to lose their sword technique to the Illusory Sword School, she would become the shame of the Chu Family!
Chu Chu was getting more and more worried, and soon after, she fainted again.
“Eh? Why did she faint?” Song Shuhang muttered. “Did she faint because she got over-excited after knowing she would recover in a mere few months?”
“Senior Brother Shuhang.” At this time, the nearby small monk said with a serious expression on his face, “This female benefactor didn’t seem too happy before fainting…”
