F*ck!

When Song Shuhang sensed the ‘friend’ prompt, he jumped in fright—this degree of fright was second only to that of ‘The Fat Ball has added you as a friend’ prompt he got previously.

The Heavenly Emperor was among the top three enemies that Song Shuhang least wanted to encounter.

Song Shuhang didn’t want to get involved with the other party at all.

He wanted to avoid her at all costs.

If the other party could just forget about him, then that would be for the best.

But now, through some unknown means, the Heavenly Emperor had added him as a friend.

Also, what’s with the term ‘buddy’? Is it referring to the more superficial type where you share your blessings, but get kicked away when you’re down on your luck?

What’s the point of getting such a friend? I’d rather not.

Unfriend, unfriend, I wanna unfriend!

But sadly, he found that his ‘QR code Golden Core Composition’ was still imperfect, and it was lacking some functions.

For example, he had no way to put people on a ‘blacklist’, or even just temporarily delete them from his friend list. These functions should slowly get unlocked as he increased his realm.

[Ding~ The Heavenly Emperor has remotely transferred you 10 seconds’ worth of strength. The cost of this transfer is 90% of this energy. Please check the transaction carefully.]

“…” Song Shuhang.

What kind of function was this?

After adding friends, it seemed that there was now a function for remotely transferring strength to others, just like the ‘Sage Seal’.

Previously, the Will of the Dragon Network, who had changed its name to ‘Fat Ball’, did something similar.

However, if you wanted to impart your strength to others, you would first have to satisfy the requirements to do so. At least Song Shuhang still had yet to unlock the option to ‘transfer strength’ to others.

Song Shuhang suspected that it might be necessary to reach the ‘Immortal’ Realm before being able to do something like this through the friend function.

[Ding~ The Heavenly Emperor has remotely transferred you 10 seconds’ worth of strength, along with a message: Hello~ I’ve finally found a way to talk to you. Senior Song, your steel manifestation is very interesting. Through this steel manifestation of yours, I found your QR code Golden Core Composition. I must say that it’s quite innovative. In order to add you as a friend, I had to study it for quite a bit of time. I was only recently able to add you as a friend through the ‘Time Network’.]

“…” Song Shuhang.

Besides the Dragon Network, the Virtuous Network, and the Karmic Network, there’s also a Time Network?

Is everybody trying to run a network for business nowadays?

Song Shuhang remembered the scenes of various telecommunication companies in China vying for market share for some reason.

[Ding~ The Heavenly Emperor has remotely transferred you 10 seconds’ worth of strength once again, along with an additional message: Through your steel manifestation, during the rare times when the connection is good, I’m able to receive scenes related to you. It’s like watching a movie. It’s very interesting, but unfortunately, it’s all fragmented. There are times when the signal is lost, and I have to fill in a lot of the plot with my own brain~ At first, I was planning on returning the steel manifestation to you after studying the ‘sun ship’. But now, I’ve decided otherwise. This steel manifestation of yours shall forever be mine!]

“…” Song Shuhang.

He looked up at the sky with a bitter and stifled heart, unable to say anything.

[Ding~ The Heavenly Emperor has remotely transferred you 10 seconds’ worth of strength once again, along with an additional message: Lastly, when I’m done with the tribulation, let’s set up an appointment to meet up. For certain reasons, I’m preparing to rebuild the Heavenly City~ When this sovereign descends to the world once more, I’ll grant you a prosperous life. Previously, when I said I’d be open to taking you as my ‘Tyrannical Imperial Concubine’, I was not joking. Anyway, will you return the ‘Heavenly City Fragments’ you have on you to me?]

After all that talk, it turns out that you’re simply after the ‘Heavenly City Fragments’ I have?

“…” Song Shuhang.

Also, no disrespect, but I feel that your… your love is a bit too deep. I can’t bear to accept it.

[Beep~]

At this time, the familiar sound from a friend being added rang out.

[Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather added you as a ‘senior’, along with an additional message: Hahaha, Senior Song, I felt that everything was in place just now and successfully added you as a friend! I’m so witty. Also, Senior Song, when I woke up early this morning, I discovered that I had condensed my ninth immortal bone. I’m now getting ready for my ascension to the Fifth Stage. Fortunately, Senior Yellow Mountain came over to Spirit Butterfly Island as a guest a few days ago. Currently, he is assisting me in arranging the formation for transcending the Fifth Stage Heavenly Tribulation. Mama Yellow Mountain is so good. He is one of the seniors I respect the most. In addition… I’m finally about to catch up with you. Senior Song, you have to wait for me, don’t leave me behind right away.]

A smile emerged on Song Shuhang’s face.

Soft Feather was still so lively.

Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Haha, if you want to catch up with my realm, then you’ll have to hurry up.”

…Unfortunately, the QR code Golden Core Composition had no chat function yet, so he couldn’t reply to Soft Feather.

Despite being the owner of the QR code Golden Core Composition, he didn’t know how to use the ‘strength impartation’ function, so he had no way to send ‘messages’ to Soft Feather like how the Heavenly Emperor did with him.

Soft Feather suddenly having been able to add him as a friend should have something to do with the ‘Heavenly Emperor’. After all, the Heavenly Emperor occupied Soft Feather’s ghost spirit, and that ghost spirit and Soft Feather were one.

Song Shuhang’s consciousness withdrew from the Golden Core Composition Space.

After going back in a while, I’ll try connecting to the ‘Virtuous Network’ and send Sixteen a photo of the QR code. Since the White Dragon is a form of ‘light of virtue’, perhaps she can add me as a friend through the Virtuous Network? Song Shuhang thought to himself.

While he was in thought, Scarlet Heaven Sword’s voice sounded. “Shuhang, are you done with the finishing touch?”

“Mm-hm.” Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “Next, I only need to add the finishing touch to the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’. I’ll definitely be able to do this!”

Scarlet Heaven Sword worriedly asked, “What happened to you when you were adding your finishing touch? Why did I feel that from time to time, there was strength being imparted to you from far away… Although it was very weak, the quality of the power was very high.”

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky. “It was the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Did you provoke her again?” Scarlet Heaven Sword almost went mad.

Song ‘Loves Provoking Big Shots’ Shuhang.

Can you really not sit still, and not provoke big shots for one second? Do you not cherish your own life since you go and provoke big shots left and right? The period when a cultivator adds their ‘finishing touch’ is one of the most important points in their life, yet even during that time, you can’t stop yourself from provoking big shots!

“No, I didn’t do anything to her this time.” Song Shuhang showed a constipated look on his face. “Actually, I kinda wish she’d hate me, a lot.”

“…” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

This child is hopeless.

In the sky, Song Shuhang lowered his gaze, and looked at ‘Scarlet Pupil’.

There was a bronze ring with a Sage Seal on his finger which could be used as coordinates.

Song Shuhang said, “Let’s return for now. I’ll continue with my seclusion and try to add the finishing touch to the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’. Calculating the time, the two Senior Whites should almost be back. Later, I will bring them to see Scarlet Pupil.”

❄️❄️❄️

Inside the Scarlet Dragon Cave.

Song Shuhang’s primordial soul returned to his clone.

Song Shuhang thought, The finishing touch for the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion composition and its related opportunity… Should I go back to the main world first?

After returning to the main world, he could connect to the Inner World, and ask Pavilion Master Chu for help.

Either that, or he could contact the Netherworld Realm’s Pavilion Master Chu Two to look for that opportunity.

[Beep~]

[Fairy Cheng Lin has recommended you to her friend Pavilion Master Chu Two through the ‘friend recommendation function’.]

Song Shuhang: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Why does Cheng Lin have access to so many functions?
