Chapter 145
After having Song Shuhang’s account muted by True Monarch Yellow Mountain, the pekingese Doudou couldn’t happily chat anymore. Therefore, he got bored and jumped down from the computer desk.
Then, he crawled onto Song Shuhang’s bed, starting to roll here and there lazily. And from the moment he started tolling, he didn’t stop even for a moment.
Song Shuhang carefully looked at him for a long time… this monster dog Doudou was really a pekingese. But was he somewhat related to huskies? This degree of liveliness was just too over the top!
After rolling on the bed for a long time, the pekingese Doudou suddenly stood up. He looked at Song Shuhang with a stern look and said, “Cough, cough. Little Friend Song Shuhang, from today, I’ll look after you!”
Song Shuhang bitterly smiled as he said, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. You can call me Doudou. But don’t call me Little Doudou. Only stupid Yellow Mountain likes to call me that way. However, if you also consider yourself as stupid as Yellow Mountain, you can call me that way too,” after finishing his sentence, the pekingese Doudou started once again to roll on top of the bed lazily.
He was rolling from the head of the bed to the end. Rolling in circles, rolling vertically, rolling horizontally… his rolling ability was really top-notch. All sorts of different and fancy rolling styles. From beginning to end, he still hadn’t used the same style more than once!
“Alright, Doudou,” Song Shuhang replied.
He sat in front of the computer and conveniently scrolled through the Nine Provinces Number One Group’s chat history. He wanted to see what the seniors had chatted about yesterday.
He had no idea what they had talked about when he was offline.
And after scrolling through dozens of pages, he only saw stuff like, ‘How was the scenery on the East China Sea?’, ‘Thrice Reckless, did you eat already?’, ‘What did you eat?’… and also things like, ‘Which resort area is the best one?’.
This was some extreme flooding!
“Strange, why did the seniors in the group flood the chat so much yesterday?” Song Shuhang was puzzled.
Previously, all seniors would chat a little and go to practice or explore ruins left behind by ancient cultivators. But yesterday’s chat log was completely different, all they did was chat. Moreover, the conversation was a bit strange.
After scrolling for many pages, he finally gave up. All the chat logs were nothing but random nonsense; Song Shuhang decided not to scroll anymore.
[Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s flooding technique was a great success. Song Shuhang wasn’t able to hold on and gave up. In the end, he wasn’t able to uncover those bits of information about ‘True Monarch White’ in the chat history.]
While he was at it, he opened the Farming Ranch game and carefully looked at the logs. Every day, there were a lot of seniors that were stealing vegetables from his house.
Were all these seniors this free?
The pekingese Doudou was more and more bored. He got up and asked, “Shuhang, woof. Do you have any game installed on your computer?”
“Oh, there should be one. But it’s quite old,” Song Shuhang replied.
This game was a MOBA. He and his other roommates would often use the script developed by Yang De with this game. The objective was to push the enemies lanes till reaching and destroying their base. This game was almost ten years old.
“Let me play, woof woof!” The pekingese Doudou started to jump on the bed while barking.
“Alright,” Song Shuhang closed the chat and started the game.
The pekingese Doudou jumped on the computer desk and increased the size of his body a bit. Afterwards, he placed his left paw on the keyboard and the right one on the mouse, “Woof woof! Let’s go, let’s go!”
This scene was just too beautiful. Song Shuhang couldn’t help but slowly feast his eyes on this epic sight. If your teammate was a little kid, you could consider yourself f*cked. However, it seemed that there was something even worse. How would people feel if they were to realize that their teammate was literally a dog?
Maybe they would feel that they were the ones living a dog’s life?
While looking at the cheering monster pekingese, Song Shuhang suddenly thought of a problem and asked, “Doudou, can the average person see you after you reduce your size?”
Were his roommates to suddenly barge into the room and see a dog playing video games… he really wouldn’t know how to explain it. If he were to tell them that the dog had undergone special training, would they believe it?
“Don’t worry. If we monster beasts don’t want to be seen by the average men, they won’t be able to see us,” Doudou didn’t even turn his head. His left paw was frantically pressing the buttons on the keyboard, while the right one was moving the mouse at high speed. It was playing very seriously.
Song Shuhang was finally relieved and nodded…
***
Time passed by very fast.
Seven days later, June 18.
The pekingese Doudou was still waiting for Medicine Master, but Medicine Master never came back!
Medicine Master’s endeavor to cure those four fellow daoists that suffered from amnesia didn’t end well. He wasn’t able to find the source of the amnesia.
The brains of those four fellow daoists hadn’t suffered any injuries, and their ability to remember wasn’t affected either. He also hadn’t found any traces of a memory seal. But they still weren’t able to recall what had happened on that ‘mysterious island’.
Medicine Master and the seniors inside the group guessed that a powerful cultivator had sealed the memories of these fellow daoists.
But if this was really the case… they needed to be careful. These two fellow daoists were Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperors, experts that had a Golden Core. If someone could seal their memories, just how strong was this person?
Right now, Medicine Master had already made contact with various cultivators that were experts in the fields of ‘memory’, ‘spiritual power’, and ‘seal’ to jointly research the cause of this amnesia.
Medicine Master wrote inside the group that the time required to cure the amnesia of these fellow daoists would probably be more than half a year.
Riverly Purple Mist frowned as she asked, “Medicine Master, is their amnesia so difficult to cure?”
“Ah… it is. To tell you the truth, I don’t even have much confidence in being able to cure them,” Medicine Master heaved a sigh.
Riverly Purple Mist asked, “Do we have to stay here till they are cured?”
“There is no need for that. I think that in a dozen or so days, we’ll be able to understand the reason behind this memory loss. At that point, we’ll have to carefully consider how to make them recover their memories. There is no need for us to stay here,” Medicine Master frowned while carefully checking some data on the notebook.
“Then, once we have discovered the cause of the memory loss will we return to Jiangnan College Town?” Riverly Purple Mist asked. She really wanted to live together with Medicine Master in that small multi-storied building. And little friend Song Shuhang was an understanding person; he wouldn’t come too often as to avoid ruining the couple’s romantic time.
“We can’t go back.” Medicine Master put aside the notes he had in his hand and said, “True Monarch White will come out of secluded meditation in 20 days. At the appointed time, Song Shuhang will go to meet him! If I go back in a dozen or so days, won’t I directly walk into a trap?”
Therefore, if he had to delay things, it was better to delay them until Song Shuhang had completed his duty. After that, he could safely return to Jiangnan College Town.
Riverly Purple Mist, “…”

In the multi-storied building bought by Medicine Master.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Song Shuhang decided to cultivate a bit.
He had already opened his Heart Aperture, completing his Hundred Days Foundation Establishment. Now he had to open the second aperture of the First Stage, the Eye Aperture.
After opening the Eye Aperture, his vision would get to a new level. Moreover, if his luck was good, he could even obtain a small ability similar to ‘clairvoyance’.
After performing the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ and ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯ twenty times, Song Shuhang took a qi and blood pill.
After opening his Heart Aperture, the time needed to complete a round of the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ had been greatly reduced. Right now, he was able to practice this set of basic fist technique twenty times in an hour. This was enough to completely consume his energy.
With the body getting stronger, the quantity of qi and blood pills needed would also get bigger.
After completely depleting his physical energy, his body needed one qi and blood pill to regain its original condition.
He was cultivating from four to five hours every day. Therefore, in just five days, he had used up twenty qi and blood pills.
He shook the small bottle that contained the qi and blood pills. Of the pill he had obtained from Altar Master, there was only one left.
Without the support of these qi and blood pills, if he had to rely on the slow recovery rate of his body, he could only cultivate for around thirty times a day. If he were to rely only on himself, it would take him more than half a year to open his Eye Aperture.
“Qi and blood pills!” Song Shuhang heaved a sigh. Having experienced the miraculous effects of the qi and blood pills, he didn’t know what he would do once they were finished.
Fortunately, True Monarch White was coming out of secluded meditation in around 15 days!
Although he didn’t know why all the seniors were so afraid of him, right now, he wanted to see him as soon as possible.
In his eyes, True Monarch White was a living source of qi and blood pills and cultivation techniques.
Moreover, he had already opened his Heart Aperture, and could now contract a ghost spirit. Therefore, he could ask True Monarch White to help him out. With a senior helping him with the contract, the success rate would definitely increase by a great margin.
After all, he had only two chances.
After the qi and blood pill had taken full effect, Song Shuhang started to practice again. He didn’t want to waste even the tiniest bit of the pill efficacy.
***
The monster dog Doudou was nowhere to be found today. Song Shuhang wasn’t able to control him.
Sometimes, he would disappear for the whole day, and he would come to Song Shuhang’s place once in a while. Then, he would borrow his account and access the Nine Provinces Number One Group to insult True Monarch Yellow Mountain, ending up getting muted again.
Then, he would disappear somewhere to have fun again.
All his days were spent in this carefree manner.
***
After she was taken back to the Su Clan by Seven, Sixteen hadn’t come online again. Maybe she was in the middle of some secret treatment?
Song Shuhang was worried about Sixteen. She had once told Shuhang that she could live at most for another 20 days. In the blink of an eye, five days had already passed. How was she doing right now?
Would the members of the Su Clan really be able to cure her?
Song Shuhang heaved a sigh.
He couldn’t help but recall that last dialogue between Sixteen and Seven. At the time, she said with a smile, “I came out just to relax a bit.”
That smiling face was really sweet, like hundreds of blooming flowers. However, that smile seemed a bit forced. Even she wasn’t holding much hope in her heart.

Great Master Profound Principle’s flying sword was also sent back. And this time, Sima Jiang wasn’t robbed. Should he congratulate him?
The next day, after receiving the flying sword, Young Monk Three Realms left a message to Song Shuhang in the chat. He was expressing his gratitude on behalf of Great Master Profound Principle.
Little Jiang had really worked hard.
And just when he thought about little Jiang, his phone suddenly rang.
He took a look and saw that it was exactly little Jiang from the Fengshou Express Delivery.
“Hello? Little Jiang, do you need something?” Song Shuhang answered the call.
“Shuhang? Are you home? There is an urgent express delivery that you need to sign and retrieve,” Sima Jiang’s hearty laughter echoed from the phone. “This express delivery is quite big. When standing, it’s as tall as a person.”
Like the previous two times, the party that had sent this express delivery must also have a frightening background!
“Another express delivery?” Song Shuhang was puzzled.
Recently, no one had sent him anything. And he also hadn’t bought anything from the internet.
But now, there was an express delivery as tall as a person waiting for him?
“I’ll immediately return to Jiangnan College Town. Little Jiang, just wait for me in front of the door of the dormitory,” Song Shuhang replied.
