A certain mysterious senior joins the chat group. Oh, and so does Lady Onion. Set during some vague time after ~chapter 1592
Beep beep beep~
Chapter 3: Heavens! It’s really that senior!
Suddenly, the account belonging to True Monarch Eternal Fire had appeared in the chat.
As the master of the world of the golden lotus, True Monarch Eternal Fire had taken particular notice of the black lotus this mystery senior had chosen for his profile picture. Between that, the familiar censoring, and his connection with Song Shuhang, he got a certain feeling in his heart.
Senior White Two smiled slightly and replied, “You could say that.”
True Monarch Eternal Fire hurriedly asked, “Then, could it be that you’re ‘that senior’ from back then?”
“Sure enough, Senior Eternal Fire realized it first,” Song Shuhang commented to Senior White Two. As soon as he’d noticed that True Monarch Eternal Fire had come online and was probably lurking, he’d expected Senior Eternal Fire to jump in with an accurate guess.
“Well, in this matter, he could be considered my counterpart,” Senior White Two said.
“However, I think the other seniors were getting pretty close,” Song Shuhang said.
True Monarch Fallout: “Right, that’s what’s so familiar. Doesn’t this censoring remind you guys of when little friend Shuhang would talk about a certain senior back then?”
“But would that senior really want to join our chat group?” Fairy Lychee responded doubtfully.
In fact, several of the seniors had thought of ‘that senior’ very briefly, but had dismissed the idea as it seemed too far fetched.
That senior was almost certainly even stronger than a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender, and might even be stronger than most Immortals. Would a senior like that really want to join a chat group?
And so, no one even dared to think that might be the right answer until it seemed no one else fit the bill.
At this time, Senior White Two wrote, “Ha, as expected of a scholar. Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire guessed it instantly.”
Then he added, “Little friends, you should trust your intuition more.”
As long as someone thought of him while thinking of ‘that senior’, he could faintly sense it, although not as clearly as if someone directly named him in their thoughts. Therefore, he knew they had been pretty close to guessing it even without Eternal Fire’s help.
There was a small pause before Thrice Reckless Mad Saber wrote, “Little friend Shuhang, it isn’t kind to tease your seniors like this.”
Song Shuhang laughed and answered, “No one’s teasing. It really is that senior.”
“Mm-hm, Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire got it right away,” Senior White chimed in.
After this, the chat fell silent for several minutes. This revelation was simply too dazzling.
Until...
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “F*ck! It’s really that senior!”
Fifth Stage Monster Beast Doudou: “Woof, woof! F*ck!”
True Monarch Northern River: “F*ck!”
When the Bright Moon Appears: “F*ck!”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer: F*ck!
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: “Heavens!”
Su Clan’s Seven: “Fellow Daoist Seven Lives, don’t break the chain. F*ck!”
Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “...”
This is little friend Shuhang’s insanely powerful senior, and the first thing you’re all going to do is curse at him?
Song Shuhang also glanced over at Senior White Two, unsure about his reaction to the rest of the group being so casual with him, but Senior White Two still wore a faint smile as he looked down at his phone. It looked like he was having a good time.
Beep beep beep: “Hahahaha.”
Eternal Fire is very tired and wants to retire: “Senior, in fact, I’ve wanted to be able to thank you personally for a long time. If not for your guidance back then, our scholarly faction would have been completely wiped out. Who knows when or even if we would have been able to recover. Along with little friend Tyrannical Saber, we owe you an unimaginable debt.”
Eternal Fire is very tired and wants to retire: “If there’s anything you want from our scholarly faction in the future, just ask and it’s yours.”
Beep beep beep: “Even if what I want is your ‘world of the golden lotus’?”
Eternal Fire hesitated a moment before answering, “Cough, this...Senior, even if I knew how to give that to you....”
Beep beep beep: “Haha, don’t worry, it’s just a little joke. In fact, Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire did me a big favor at that time by helping Shuhang wreck my rival’s plans. That guy was raging for days, it was great. Therefore, you can consider us even in this case.”
Beep beep beep: “However, I remember that you guys gave Shuhang a few paradisiacal lands not long ago as a reward. If you have any left, I wouldn’t mind taking a look at a few of them. I’m interested in finding something nice for my house.”
Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched a bit as he watched Senior White Two happily type these words.
True Monarch Eternal Fire had gotten the idea to start moving fragments of the Ancient Heavenly City into the world of the golden lotus after seeing the fragments Song Shuhang had moved into his Inner World. Had Senior White Two gotten the same inspiration?
Was he also interested in the Ancient Heavenly City, or was he just looking to get a few cool landscapes to liven the place up?
Eternal Fire is very tired and wants to retire: “I understand, Senior. I’ll set a few aside for you to look at when you have the time.”
Beep beep beep: “Good! Remember that I don’t want anything that might be contaminated with light of virtue or holy light. I’ll definitely give you something good in return when the time comes.”
True Monarch Northern River: “That’s right, little friend Shuhang mentioned once that Senior is an expert of the Netherworld Realm.”
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Yeah, this guy should be a super big shot in the Netherworld Realm! Yo, [beep, beep, beep~], you joined the group? Long time, no see!”
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Huh? Did that get censored?”
She had tried to write “big Netherworld boss”, but it seemed that although she could say he was a big shot, she couldn’t directly identify him as someone in charge of the Netherworld Realm.
“Oh, she’s here? Good, she came to me first,” Senior White Two said with a smile. He replied, “Yo, Fellow Daoist Skylark, I’m pleased you remember me. Let’s have a chat in private. 😎”
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “It’s about that guy, right? Sure, let’s chat. I’d also be happy to help you wreck that guy’s plans. Oh, and maybe Senior could help me convince little friend Shuhang to let me borrow a certain something for a little while...? 😈😈😈”
And with that, Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark even sent Senior White Two a friend request. Senior White Two happily accepted it and started a private chat with her right away.
In the group, he also wrote, “Shuhang, you might as well let her borrow it. The entire universe has already experienced the pain of childbirth once. It won’t be any worse a second time. Besides, you all have some forewarning now, so you can all avoid it.”
It didn’t really matter to him whether Skylark had a chance to troll the universe again, because he wouldn’t be affected by it anyway.
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Hehe. 😈😈😈”
Tyrannical Song: “No, it’s definitely just as bad the second time! Senior Skylark, have you really not given up on that idea? I don’t think it’ll be that exciting, actually. Since everyone’s experienced it once, everyone already knows what to expect, so wouldn’t it just be tiresome the second time?”
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “That’s the beauty of it. If it was little friend Tyrannical Scholar, then yeah, everyone is already terrified you’ll do it again and it would be boring. But no one is expecting someone else to have the Sage’s eye, so it’ll be a complete surprise if I do it too. Hehe, it’s very exciting to think about. I’ll come by in a few days to borrow it, okay?”
Dharma King Creation: “No, no, I think little friend Shuhang has a point here.”
True Monarch Northern River: “Senior Skylark, have mercy!”
Song Shuhang sighed and wrote, “To be honest, I think if you show up and ask for it, the Sage’s eye will go to you whether I want it to or not. It kind of has a mind of its own. If you’re going to come over, then I ask Senior to at least warn the group before you go do your tribulation this time.”
I’m sorry, seniors, your junior can only do this much.
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Deal! Of course I was going to warn you guys anyway. 😈😈😈😈😈”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “Song Shuhang, you f*cking sellout!”
Fifth Stage Monster Beast Doudou: “Woof! Tyrannical Scholar, our friendship is over. 👋”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “Senior Yellow Mountain, I really feel like ever since you added little friend Shuhang, the style of the group has gotten worse and worse. You should just kick him.”
Yellow Mountain is tired and wants to retire: “...”
His hand slowly moved toward the mute button.
You really have the face as a pitch black pot to be calling the kettle black? One of these days, I’m going to kick both of you!
However, as long as Skylark was online, there was no point in trying to discipline Thrice Reckless, and she seemed to have a soft spot for Song Shuhang as well. She would just unmute both of them, and if he kicked them, she’d probably just add them right back too.
Blissfully unaware of how how close he’d come to death, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber continued, “By the way, Senior Skylark, have you actually met this senior?”
This was big news! Because although Song Shuhang’s mystery senior had been there to help with the heavenly tribulation bombs, none of them could say they had actually met him at that time.
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Mm-hm, kind of. It was when little friend Shuhang got dragged into my Eighth Stage Demonic Tribulation. Senior [beep, beep~] helped out a bit after, since [beep, beep, beep~].”
Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark: “Ok, I get it! Senior, I really feel like this censoring trick is unfair. I wasn’t even going to say that much.”
Beep beep beep: “Hehe.”
When the Bright Moon Appears: “Sigh...little friend Shuhang, I truly envy you.”
Tyrannical Song: “Senior [beep~] also helped me get our magical treasures completed before my Fifth Stage tribulation started. We got it done just in time. 😭”
Tyrannical Song: “Also, @ Phoenix Saber Jasmine, @ Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, thank you again, seniors, for your help back then. 🙇♂️”
To be honest, Song Shuhang was still a bit traumatized by how close of a call that had been.
What he wouldn’t give for a nice, orderly, normal tribulation that came when he was actually ready for it.
Beep beep beep: “Oh, that’s right. @ Phoenix Saber Jasmine, this is Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, right? Your forging technique isn’t bad. I’m very pleased with the magical treasures you made for me. If you need another favor in the future, you can trade for it with more forging. 👍”
Seeing these messages, although Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue was quite moved (this was also that senior? That insanely powerful, terrifying senior?? That senior was complementing her forging technique???), her heart also felt very stuffy and stifled.
She didn’t need any thanks, she just needed Song Shuhang to never bring up that matter ever again.
Next to her, Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wore a tight smile and patted her lightly on the shoulder.
Phoenix Saber Jasmine: “Thank you, Senior, your offer is very generous. However, I’m only accepting cash right now.”
Beep beep beep: “No problem. If I need something, I’ll definitely pay you well. 😎”
Beep beep beep: “Oh, and while I’m at it—@ Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, little friend Thrice Reckless, that picture you took in the Demonic Tribulation Realm was very amusing, and it gave me a great chance to f*ck with my rival. Can you send me a copy of it?”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “Senior, I knew you were a true man of culture! I uploaded that photo to the group back then. It should still be there if you look for it.”
Beep beep beep: “Mm-hm, Shuhang found it for me. As expected, it’s truly excellent.”
Sage White: “Eh? When did you guys go play around in the Demonic Tribulation Realm? Why don’t I have any memory of it?”
Tyrannical Song: “Huh? I didn’t tell you about it? That’s where we went to test the heavenly tribulation bombs, since Senior [beep, beep~] was willing to help out. Wait, I’ll send you that picture too.”
Sage White: “Oh, so it was back then. No wonder I don’t remember it. Mm-hm, this photo of Thrice Reckless is pretty cool. The composition is good, the pose is good, and the timing was perfect. It must have been Fellow Daoist Lychee who took it, right?”
Fairy Lychee: “Yes, it was! Thank you, Senior White! :soft_feather_shy:”
Normally, she wouldn’t hesitate to use her favorite :senior_white_cute: or :senior_white_shy: emotes, even in a reply to Senior White himself. Today, however, Fairy Lychee had a strong feeling that she would only be seeking death.
Although it was an unexplainable feeling, Fairy Lychee trusted her intuition and swapped in one of Soft Feather’s emotes instead. After all, she wasn’t like Thrice Reckless, who regularly courted death just for fun.
It was only too bad her own expression package wasn’t finished yet, or she would have directly used something like “fairy_lychee_shy_blush: or :fairy_lychee_winking_smile: to reply. However, Soft Feather’s emotes were also quite cute, so it wasn’t much of a loss.
Fairy Enchanting Moonlight [Soft Feather]: “Senior Lychee’s photography skills are really amazing. Out of everyone, Senior Thrice Reckless is the only one who got a good picture. :bow_down:”
Sage White: “It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. It’s too bad I couldn’t be there.”
Tyrannical Song: “Senior White, weren’t you also having fun over in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”
Sage White: “Not really. By that time, it had gotten a bit boring.”
Beep beep beep: “Unfortunately, it isn’t easy for me to arrange field trips to the Demonic Tribulation Realm, or I could take you to play around in there.”
Sage White: “That’s fine. We can just wait until the next time Shuhang ascends and I can try to hitch a ride then.”
Beep beep beep: “Haha, sure, I’ll think of a way to make sure he goes to the right place when the time comes.”
Tyrannical Song: “😭 Seniors, can you please not plant those kinds of flags?”
Beep beep beep: “Who’s planting flags? I’m directly saying that’s what’s going to happen.”
Song Shuhang cried in his heart, I just want one tribulation that isn’t with a group and isn’t in one of the Tribulation Realms, is that so much to ask? I’m running out of chances here!
At this time, the other members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group felt they had gained a greater understanding of just how, exactly, Song Shuhang’s realm had been continuously rising so quickly.
Little friend Shuhang actually had it really hard.
