2227 In a dark space, requesting for help online
Every lie required ten times as many new lies to cover it up.
Knowing that, Song Shuhang didn’t lie to the Heavenly Emperor earlier. She was a top-tier big shot, and low-level tricks such as lies were unlikely to work.
Instead, he chose to mislead her while concealing part of the truth.
But now, it seemed he got caught regardless.
And to give the Heavenly Emperor a proper answer, he would need to mislead her again, which would only serve to create more holes in his side of the story.
It feels like no matter how I answer, there will be problems.
Sigh, I don’t have too much experience in handling these matters.
Song Shuhang said softly, “It seems I can only seek help from the seniors who are familiar with the Heavenly Emperor.”
For example, Sister White Dragon and Fairy Cheng Lin.
They understood the Heavenly Emperor the best, and they might be able to help him think of a perfect way to answer the Heavenly Emperor’s questions.
But how should he ask them for help?
‘Senior, I’ve got a problem. When the Heavenly Emperor learned that my Cultivation chat group was upgrading, she found many things that seemed awfully familiar. She’s currently questioning me about it, how should I answer her?’
Song Shuhang thought to himself, Hmm, this seems to be good enough. I’ll send this to the seniors. It’s a pity that I didn’t get to add the Great Northern Emperor as a friend. Otherwise, there would be another big shot that I could consult on this matter.
While he was in thought, the Cultivation group automatically sent a request for help…
The big shots on the VIP blacklist were the first ones to receive the message.
Demon Emperor Hezhi, who was in a bad mood, received the second request for help of the day.
[Beep~ Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is in great distress. He needs help in explaining something to the Heavenly Emperor. Are you willing to help him? Y/N?]
Demon Emperor Hezhi didn’t even give it any thought and immediately clicked on No, before replying with a disdainful “Hehe” in the postscript.
But as soon as he made his choice, he pounded the ground hard—a violent earthquake shook the ground in a radius of ten miles.
“I should have chosen ‘Yes’!” Demon Emperor Hezhi felt heartbroken.
This kind of situation where he was being asked for help on “resolving misunderstandings” was the perfect situation for him to involve himself in. Once he interfered, he could cause even greater misunderstandings between Song Shuhang and the Heavenly Emperor until their relationship was completely ruined.
Even if he failed, he did not have much to lose.
When facing Song Shuhang, even if it meant suffering a loss, he would willingly take the hit as long as it made things worse for Shuhang.
After Demon Emperor Hezhi… the Indestructible Lord, Striped Dragon Two, the Almighty Merchant, I Really Want to Take a Color Photo, and Venerable Yellow Mountain all rejected Song Shuhang’s request for help.
Fairy Cheng Lin sent a postscript: [What did you do this time? Didn’t you say that you were going to close up for good?]
However, Song Shuhang did not have any time to reply to Fairy Cheng Lin.
The sudden operation launched by the Cultivation chat group sent shivers through Song Shuhang’s kidneys.
Notifications about the rejections of the big shots in the VIP blacklist filled his mind.
“Stop, stop quickly!” Song Shuhang hurriedly called out.
For now, it seemed that only the members of the VIP blacklist had received the request for help. The members on other lists should follow soon.
Stop before it’s too late!
I cannot allow this request to reach the Heavenly Emperor!
Otherwise, I’m really dead!
But at that moment…
[Beep~ Your Buddy “Heavenly Emperor” has accepted your request for help. Initializing the process… opening new function modules… activating beta video call function.]
Song Shuhang: “…”
I swear that after the Cultivation chat group finishes upgrading, I must install an AI bot to manage it.
My liver hurts, and so do my kidneys.
In front of him, a window the size of a mobile phone screen gradually took shape. As it was a new function, it was still in an experimental stage and could not be turned off.
Applications always had to be tested thoroughly before they were pushed to the market. Even then, they would likely still have bugs that needed to be addressed.
Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair coiled on top of Song Shuhang’s head. Her intuition told her that Song Shuhang was done for.
On the small screen, two windows appeared.
In the large window was a projection of the Heavenly Emperor, who had come to “help” Song Shuhang.
The small window was pitch black, with a barely visible face that was illuminated by the screen that had materialized in mid-air… This face belonged to none other than Song Shuhang, who was currently stuffed in a coffin.
“Hi, Senior Song. Is this a new function of the Cultivation chat group? This chat group doesn’t have a proper text chat, but it already has a video call function. Senior Song, your skill tree and technology tree is honestly quite skewed.” In the big window, the Heavenly Emperor could be seen sitting on a throne, resting her chin on one hand while her slender legs were crossed.
She had the same appearance as Soft Feather, but the way they carried themselves was completely different.
Song Shuhang: “…”
He tried his best to keep a straight face to avoid giving the other party any information.
Also, he had no idea what to say.
“Senior Song, don’t be so tense. Although I’m busy, I don’t mind having a good chat with you. Anyway… It’s quite dark over there.” The Heavenly Emperor narrowed her eyes.
“That’s because I’m closing up.” Song Shuhang nodded vigorously and said, “I was enlightened and urgently needed to go into seclusion to absorb all the information. How about we talk again after I’m done?”
“It’s fine, I can just watch you as you’re closing up.” The Heavenly Emperor chuckled.
Song Shuhang: “…”
The Heavenly Emperor said slowly, “Sure enough, you are absorbing my path. As for the source of the path, it should be the data kept in my resurrection information.”
I’m dead, I couldn’t hide it from her!
“Senior Song, my path is very dangerous.” The Heavenly Emperor leaned over and said seriously, “It is very, very dangerous. If possible, I hope that you can stop what you’re doing immediately.”
“How dangerous is it?” Song Shuhang asked. He had already absorbed most of it, so he felt the need to ask this question.
The Heavenly Emperor said, “You are acquainted with the Ancestral Golden Dragon and the Great Northern Emperor, right? You should already know that my path embraces all things, and while it is easy to become part of it, it is very difficult to leave it.”
“Indeed.” Song Shuhang nodded.
“However, that’s not the real danger.” The Heavenly Emperor pointed to the sky and said, “The real danger comes from over there. My path is part of the self-completion plan of a certain someone. Since you have absorbed my path, it is very likely that you have become a part of that completion plan.”
“Eh? You actually know about that?” Song Shuhang was surprised.
The Heavenly Emperor: “!!!”
She could no longer keep up her majestic and dignified appearance.
What the hell?! Senior Song, why does it seem like you’ve known about this detail for a long time?
