Song Shuhang asked, “Then, Senior White, how long did it take you to resurrect me?”

Senior White Two said, “10 seconds… If I weren’t afraid that your Time City would end up ruined, I could have shortened this time to less than five seconds. If you were in the Netherworld Realm, I could have revived you in zero seconds.”

Song Shuhang subconsciously turned his head to look at the Time City.

The Time City was still the same, and its appearance hadn’t changed much… but it seemed to be in a weakened state.

Song Shuhang curiously said, “Strange, why do I feel that the Time City has become weaker?”

This feeling was very subtle, like when you saw a stone and suddenly felt that it was very beaten.

Senior White Two said, “It’s because I pushed it beyond its limits, which caused it to consume a lot of energy. You just have to replenish its energy, and it will be fine. Generally, you can use spirit stones to keep it functional. If you can find some large energy core, you could replace the spirit stones with it.”

Song Shuhang said, “So it turns out that the Time City needs to consume spirit stones to stay functional. I thought that it was a special temporal secret realm or something of the sort.”

“In your dreams. Before you acquired it, someone must have constantly replenished the city’s spiritual energy. If you want to continue using the Time City, you will have to find a way to replenish its energy,” Senior White Two said. “Anyway, enough with this nonsense. My time is precious. I came here this time because I wanted to borrow some holy light and power of virtue from you. It just so happens that you can use those as a repayment for me helping you with your resurrection.”

Song Shuhang asked, “No problem, but how do I lend you something like holy light and power of virtue?”

Senior White Two said, “Naturally, I have come prepared… I have a chamber pot that’s specialized in storing up holy light. As for the light of virtue, I’ll have to bring the materialization of your light of virtue with me on a trip.”

After saying that, Senior White Two took out a bucket-like object.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Senior White Two said, “What I want isn’t ordinary holy light, but the holy light from the big-eyed planet. Activate your Defiant Whale Warrior’s Glove to transform your spiritual energy into that cold holy light. Only such a level of holy light will prove effective against the fat ball.”

That kind of cold holy light could slightly hurt the fat ball… More importantly, it could make the fat ball sick and disgusted.

As for the light of virtue, Senior White Two was also unsure how he was supposed to bring it with him. After all, light of virtue and ordinary spiritual energy were different from one another.

Fortunately, he was not as averse to light of virtue as he was to holy light. As such, Senior White Two wanted to bring the virtuous lamia with him for the trap he was planning on setting Song Shuhang brought out the Defiant Whale Warrior’s Glove—this was one of the good points of a life-bound magical treasure: it was a bound magical treasure, so one needed not worry about ever dropping or losing it. He followed Senior White Two’s instructions and stretched out his hand before placing it above the chamber pot. Afterward, as long as he transformed his spiritual energy into cold holy light, it would automatically be absorbed into the chamber pot.

It was convenient, and the entire process went quickly and smoothly.

It was just that the capacity of this pot was on the larger side. Song Shuhang estimated that even if he currently had four cores, he would still be unable to fill this large bucket. He was afraid that he would have to repeat this process several times.

While pouring the holy light into the bucket, Song Shuhang summoned the virtuous lamia to see if Fairy @#%x had any way of separating power of virtue from her body and letting Senior White Two take it away.

“Eh?” Senior White Two immediately saw the pendant around the virtuous lamia’s neck. He asked, “Where did you get this thing from?”

The virtuous lamia panicked when she heard his words. She quickly reached out to protect the golden diamond pendant around her neck, grabbing it firmly for fear that Senior White Two would take it away.

Song Shuhang replied, “Fairy Waiting for a Promise produced this thing after drinking some Mother-Child River water.”

Senior White Two asked, “Mother-Child River water? I have some of that. Can you drink some more and give me one too?” The virtuous lamia heard this, and gave it some thought. Then, she fixed her beautiful eyes on Senior White Two’s long hair.

Similar to Senior White, Senior White Two also had long hair that almost reached his waist in length. It was black hair of great quality.

“???!” Senior White Two.

Song Shuhang saw the expression in the virtuous lamia’s eyes and understood what she meant. “Perhaps… she wants a strand of Senior White’s hair?”

“Hair?” Senior White Two said. “Alright, give me a golden diamond ball, and I will give you one strand of my hair.”

The virtuous lamia nodded quickly.

In this way, Senior White Two exchanged some Mother-Child River water and a strand of his hair for a golden diamond ball from the virtuous lamia.

Both sides were satisfied with this exchange.

The virtuous lamia untied Senior White’s hair from the diamond ball on her neck, then knit Senior White Two and Senior White’s hair together, re-thread the golden diamond ball, and put it on.

Song Shuhang took a medicinal pill to restore his spiritual energy, and continued to pour holy light into the pot.

During this process, he was rather idle. He asked, “Senior White, since there isn’t anything up at the moment, can you tell me what’s wrong with my revised version of the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique)? Why did I suddenly explode after operating it once? Can you help me see if there are any bugs that need to be fixed?”

Senior White Two chuckled. “I am the ruler of the Netherworld, why should I help you fix your cultivation technique?”

“???” Song Shuhang.

Did I accidentally offend Senior White Two?

It’s still the same sentence (I am the ruler of the Netherworld). When I heard it in the past, it made me feel at ease, but this time, it’s making me feel dejected!

A few hours later.

Song Shuhang had repeated the process several times, finally filling the large pot.

“The transaction is complete. I will take the holy light away first.” Senior White Two waved his hand and left happily.

Song Shuhang waved goodbye to Senior White.

Afterward, he willed it, and got out of the Inner World.

He reappeared in Senior Yellow Mountain’s immortal cave.

It was the same place where he had splashed some blood onto Senior Yellow Mountain and Su Clan’s Seven, though the blood on the ground had long been cleaned.

There was a small table beside the door of the room, and Song Shuhang’s spatial bracelet and other magical treasures such as the size-reducing purse were all placed on this table.

There was also a clean daoist robe.

Senior White speculated that Song Shuhang would enter his Inner World after reviving. That being the case, he should appear at the same place where he had disappeared once he came back to life.

As such, Song Shuhang’s magical treasures were placed right where his body had exploded so that he could easily find them after reviving. Song Shuhang picked up his magic equipment, and put it back on his body.

Afterward, he took out his phone from his spatial bracelet.

“I’ll call Senior Yellow Mountain first so that the seniors in the group don’t have to worry about me.” Song Shuhang swiped on the phone screen.

But before he could make a call, a call came in.

“Eh? My dad is calling?” Song Shuhang pressed the answer button.

My father hasn’t called for a long time. Did something happen that caused him to look for

me?

Right, I’ve recovered from that presence-less state. Could it be that my father and mother are worried because I didn’t return on National Day?

“Hello? Dad, what’s the matter?” Song Shuhang tried to soften his voice.

Papa Song said, “Son, what’s the matter with your phone? Why was nobody answering just now?”

Song Shuhang smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I di — I was sleeping just now, and the phone was on vibration mode, so I didn’t hear anything. Why were you looking for me?”

“Mm-hm, well, I wanted to tell you something.” Papa Song’s voice was a little weird, and he seemed to have trouble being straightforward.

Song Shuhang patted his chest, and said, “What is it? Just say it. If anything is troubling you, feel free to discuss it with your son. I’ve grown up, and maybe I can help you.” No matter what, he was now a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, and he was familiar with several big shots in the Nine Provinces Number One Group If Papa Song were to encounter any problem, he should have the ability to solve it.

“That’s right, you’ve grown up,” Papa Song said emotionally. “Then, I’ll be direct with you. In the past few years, the country has released the two-children policy. Well, your dad is responding to the country’s call. So… In short, your mother might have become pregnant.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

ei

Song Shuhang had had a sense of foreboding that this would eventually happen ever since he had visited his home in that presence-less state.

He just hadn’t expected this news to come so soon.

“I also know that you are already in college, yet we’ve gone and got another child…” Papa Song was having trouble saying anything as he got to this point.

At the same time, Mama Song’s soft voice could be vaguely heard from the other end. “Say that we love him so that he can rest assured. No matter what happens, we will always love him and remember him. We can’t let him know that we suddenly forgot about him a while ago, and thought that he was already dead. Otherwise, I will feel too sorry for Shuhang. We have to tell him that we are getting a second child in response to the call of the country, and that it is definitely not because we forgot about him.”

Mama Song’s voice was very low, but Song Shuhang was now at the Fifth Stage Realm, and if he were to run into a young practitioner, he could also be called a big shot. With this said, Song Shuhang had heard all of Mama Song’s words.

“…” Song Shuhang. Papa Song seriously said, “Shuhang, anyway, don’t worry. No matter what happens, we will always love you! Mom and Dad will always remember you.”

Song Shuhang replied, “Mm-hm.”

Papa Song continued, “Even if you end up with a younger brother in the future, you don’t have to worry that we will love only him. We have done some research and have prepared for this. We will share our love equally, half for you, and half for your brother.”

When he heard Papa Song’s words, Song Shuhang’s heart suddenly thumped, and he asked, “What if the one who is going to be born is not a younger brother, but a younger sister?”

On the other side of the phone, Papa Song suddenly fell silent.

Mama Song anxiously said, “Dear, don’t be silent! Quickly say that we will still love him the same way. Regardless of whether it is a brother or a sister, we will treat them equally.”

Papa Song seemed very conflicted and couldn’t say anything. Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at the sky.
