Chapter 1291 - Autumn equinox, fitting for burial but not for marriage
Song Shuhang’s consciousness carefully approached and attempted to establish contact with Fairy Creation.
His ‘communication request’ was quickly accepted.
Soon after, Song Shuhang heard a buzzing in his ears while countless disordered voices echoed within his consciousness.
It was thousands of times worse compared to the 88,888 voices that he would hear while using the secret appraisal technique. The disordered noises that came from Fairy Creation seemed to consist of hundreds of millions of voices. The voices recited various syllables, meaningless vocabulary, and all kinds of tones all at once.
It was as if all of the songs of the various languages were aggregated into a grinder, and then broken down into tiny pieces.
Song Shuhang’s consciousness received a severe impact from this. He entered into self-preservation mode and completely blocked out the outside world.
“Senior Song, is something wrong?” Soft Feather found that there seemed to be something wrong with Song Shuhang’s consciousness.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “What happened to Shuhang?”
Soft Feather replied, “I don’t know. I only felt Senior Song’s consciousness shake violently, and then he no longer seemed to respond to anything.”
After saying that, Soft Feather’s consciousness approached Song Shuhang’s and tried to establish contact with him.
However, no matter how Soft Feather tried to contact him, Song Shuhang did not respond.
“Senior White, can you come over and take a look at Shuhang’s consciousness? There seems to be something strange going on with him right now.” Su Clan’s Sixteen quickly asked Senior White for help.
Senior White squatted beside Doudou’s body, and then reached out to touch it.
After a moment, he said, “Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with Shuhang’s consciousness. He should have just received a slight shock; he’ll be back to normal after a short while.”
Soft Feather asked, “Why did Senior Song receive a shock?”
Senior White said, “I think it should be because of ‘Fairy Creation’. Soft Feather, Sixteen, you two should be careful not to directly communicate with Fairy Creation’s consciousness. When little friend Shuhang wakes up, you can ask him what happened.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Alright, Senior White.”
Just as Senior White finished talking, a scream could be heard coming from Soft Feather’s consciousness. “Ah~”
Su Clan’s Sixteen nervously asked, “Soft Feather, what’s wrong?”
However, Soft Feather’s consciousness did not respond.
Senior White: “…”
Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”
Needless to say, Soft Feather had probably been too curious, and quietly contacted ‘Fairy Creation’. As for what happened after that… Well, there was no after—she simply gloriously followed in Song Shuhang’s footsteps.
Senior White thought for a while, and said, “After Shuhang entered Doudou’s body, he became more chatty. As for Soft Feather, her curiosity expanded. Little Sixteen, are you fine?”
Song ‘Doudou’ Shuhang couldn’t help but ask, “Senior White, is it my fault that they’ve become more chatty and curious?”
Senior White replied, “It isn’t your fault, but it should be related to your body.”
Song Shuhang becoming more chatty was possibly brought about from how dogs loved to bark. As for Soft Feather’s curiosity having become more intense, it was probably due to Doudou’s inborn curious nature.
Su Clan’s Sixteen replied, “I feel that I’m completely fine. Actually, my mind seems to have become clearer and calmer.”
Senior White nodded—it seemed that the change that took place with Sixteen after she entered Doudou’s body made her become calmer.
However, how were Doudou and ‘calm’ related?
Senior White thought for a while, and found a plausible answer!
When it came to running away from home, Doudou would be very calm every time he did so. He could carefully prepare a plan that would allow him to escape from True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s immortal cave while under Zhou Li’s watch. Doudou’s calmness only existed for the purpose of ‘running away from home’.
Senior White said, “Sixteen, are you able to adapt to the body? If you can’t handle it, I can cancel the skill.”
Sixteen shook her head. “Don’t worry, Senior White. I’m not facing any problems at all.”
Senior White said, “Then you should look for a place to rest. While you do that, I’m going to meditate. If something comes up, just call me.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen controlled Doudou’s body and looked for a place to rest.
As for Doudou, he was busy studying Song Shuhang’s body.
It could sense that Song Shuhang’s physique was very strong. Although he was only at the Fourth Stage Realm, his body was already comparable to cultivators of the Fifth Stage Realm.
As it was only his consciousness that had been transferred over to the body, Doudou could only control Song Shuhang’s body to perform basic actions such as running, eating, and drinking water.
It could not use the innate true yuan that was in Song Shuhang’s body, nor could it use Song Shuhang’s Inner World.
“Eh? When did Shuhang make himself a new glove?” While studying Song Shuhang’s body, Doudou found the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Glove’ on his right hand.
The sea turtle said, “That’s his life-bound magical treasure. It’s an Eighth Stage magical treasure.”
“Oh, it should be one of the magical treasures of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure that Shuhang has been talking about,” Doudou said, but when it finished speaking, it suddenly froze.
Doudou said, “Wait a minute, Senior Turtle, what stage did you say this magical treasure was? Song Shuhang’s hearing is much worse than the one I have in my body, I seem not to have heard you clearly.”
The sea turtle repeated, “Eight Stage.”
Doudou: “Pfff~~”
Eight Stage? Song Shuhang was actually able to get an Eighth Stage life-bound magical treasure… If this matter reaches the ears of the fellow daoists in the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, I wonder how many of them are going to be shocked?
Doudou took out his phone and was getting ready to send a message about this matter to the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.
However, just as he was about to type, he suddenly stopped.
“No, this isn’t right. This kind of thing involves Shuhang’s privacy. Before sending it to the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, I should get his permission. That is the most basic courtesy.” After saying that, Doudou put the phone away.
Then, he suddenly frowned.
WTF, why do I feel like something isn’t right here!
❄️❄️❄️
September 23, 2019, the autumn equinox.
Eight o’clock in the morning.
It was at this time that Song Shuhang’s consciousness recovered.
Song Shuhang asked, “Eh? It’s already morning?”
Soft Feather said, “Hahaha, Senior Song, you’ve woken up as well.”
Song Shuhang asked, “How long was I unconscious?”
Also, what was up with that ‘as well?’ Was there someone else whose consciousness fell unconscious?
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, you have been unconscious since yesterday, and it’s now 8 in the morning on the 23rd. Doudou will soon be getting married. I just woke up as well, and since I’m the one in charge of the first part of the wedding, I just took control of Doudou’s body from Sixteen.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Shuhang, are you okay?”
“Fortunately, my consciousness was able to recover. Earlier, I felt like it was going to explode,” Song Shuhang said in distress.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Did anything change in you after you woke up? After Soft Feather woke up, she said that she inexplicably acquired a much deeper understanding of music.”
Fairy Creation uttered, “Yiyiyayaya~ Heh!”
“There’s such a thing? Let me check.” Song Shuhang thought carefully, and then smiled bitterly. “Nothing seems to have changed for me.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen smiled, and said, “It looks like you don’t have any musical talent.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Let’s talk about this later. What’s up with Doudou’s wedding?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “According to the plan, it’s time for the bride to enter the palanquin and be sent all the way to the groom’s house.”
Song Shuhang asked, “The groom isn’t the one coming to the bride?”
Soft Feather replied, “True Monarch Yellow Mountain said that according to the customs of the other party’s hometown, the bridegroom won’t be the one coming to meet the bride. Instead, they will prepare an extravagant greeting team that is to meet with the bride, Doudou in this case. Ah, right, I’ve already selected the dress that Doudou’s going to wear, it’s quite beautiful.”
While they were talking, a series of thundering sounds echoed outside. The sounds seemed to be that of firecrackers and fireworks but a fair bit louder.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “It should be the greeting team. Soft Feather, get ready.”
Soft Feather said, “Got it. As long as I walk onto the palanquin gracefully, it’ll be okay. I can do it.”
While she spoke, the door to the bride’s room was pushed open.
Several charming fairies entered the room with smiles on their faces. It was only at this point that Shuhang noticed Senior White’s absence.
Song Shuhang asked, “What about Senior White Doudou? Aren’t they supposed to be groomsmen?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen replied, “Senior White and Doudou are waiting for us at the middle station. They have some extra tasks as groomsmen.”
“Wah, today’s little Doudou is especially beautiful.” Fairy Lychee was also among the bridesmaids.
“Good morning, Elder Sister Lychee,” Soft Feather greeted her sweetly.
“Oh, little Doudou’s mouth is particularly sweet today as well. However, today’s already your wedding day, do you really have no problem with it? You aren’t going to disappear in the middle of the event, right?” Fairy Lychee stepped forward and gently rubbed Doudou’s head.
Fairy Lychee didn’t seem to know about the consciousnesses swap.
Did True Monarch Yellow Mountain not tell Fairy Lychee about it?
Soft Feather replied, “Don’t worry, Elder Sister Lychee.”
Fairy Lychee squatted down and began to organize Doudou’s clothes.
Doudou was wearing a red skirt and looked remarkably cute.
The skirt was chosen by Soft Feather—if Doudou had been there, he would have definitely not worn such a dress.
Song Shuhang took notice of this skirt. It looked exactly like the one in the [Doudou’s Wedding Scene] that he had seen when he had entered the dreamland of the ‘ugly crocodile’!
“Little friend Song Shuhang’s mouth today was also quite sweet; he kept saying ‘Elder Sister Lychee’ again and again. He’d better be sensible today, because if I hear the word ‘Mama’ come out of his mouth, I’m going to reward him with a windmill spin right away,” Fairy Lychee said casually while organizing Doudou’s clothes.
Song Shuhang: “…”
I only teased you for a few days and called you Mama Lychee. Afterward, I never used that nickname again…
“Okay, let’s go.” Fairy Lychee reached out and hugged Doudou.
Soft Feather said, “Elder Sister Lychee, I can go by myself.”
Fairy Lychee said, “Let me hug you today. While you get married… No, after you get married, it won’t be easy for me to hug you again.”
Today, the news about the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect’s only successor, Fairy Fleeting Life, getting married to True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s only son, Doudou, had already spread far and wide.
The fellow daoists of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ suddenly realized that Doudou wasn’t going to marry a male dog, but a female one.
Soft Feather said, “All right.”
Afterward, she obeyed her instincts and nuzzled Fairy Lychee’s chest.
Soft Feather said, “Elder Sister Lychee is much fuller than I imagined.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
