2285 The Calamity of the Remaining Forces of the Heavenly Court
If the ‘head’ represented Senior White Two, then ‘person’ must symbolize him. After all, he was currently the only human Senior White Two has encountered. Not every human had nerves as robust as his when facing the ruler of the Netherworld. So, what does ‘light’ stand for?
“Are you ready?” Senior White Two asked.
Song Shuhang was pondering the puzzle when Senior White Two’s question caught him off guard. He responded instinctively, “Ready? Oh, the lights!”
Senior White Two was left momentarily speechless.
A few moments later, Senior White Two replied, “I will fulfill your request.”
Suddenly, several colorful lights bathed Song Shuhang’s body.
Song Shuhang blinked in confusion. “What’s happening?”
The hamster emerged from its invisible state. It puffed up its cheeks and frantically rubbed its paws. Seven-colored light radiated from its claws and enveloped Song Shuhang.
As a demon of the Netherworld, the hamster cultivated the pure evil energy of that realm. It had exerted all its strength to convert this pitch-black evil energy into seven colors.
“Would this be the ‘light’?” Song Shuhang muttered.
Then, an unusual force wrapped around his neck—it was the power of a curse.
It crossed through space and constricted around his neck, twisting it slightly.
Song Shuhang’s neck emitted a crisp sound as it rotated 180 degrees like an owl’s.
“Ah! It’s broken, it’s broken! It’s about to snap!” Song Shuhang whispered frantically. He was careful not to wake his three sleeping roommates with his screams. His capacity to vocalize his distress was severely restricted.
Up to this point, Song Shuhang still had no idea why Senior White Two had suddenly twisted his neck. What had happened?
“When did you become so skilled at this? How many times has your neck been twisted?” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet couldn’t help but inquire.
“This is only the second time. The first time was when Miss Turtle’s father tried to cast a spell but failed,” Song Shuhang replied as he gingerly touched his neck. “It’s mainly because not too long ago, I lost my chastity under the ‘heavenly punishment.’ It left me only my head. At that time, I accumulated quite a bit of experience. A Heavenly Punishment is really terrifying. Besides death, there’s no way to escape it.”
He wished he could figure out how to deal with the heavenly punishment in the future. That way, he could make it a topic of discussion among cultivators. If coming into contact with it too often resulted in misfortune, did that mean eating it every day would lead to chronic indigestion?
“Don’t think about devouring everything. I don’t want to see you die one day because you ingested something you shouldn’t have during your resurrection,” Senior White Two cautioned.
“Don’t worry, Senior White. Regardless of what I eat, I’ll always be cautious,” Song Shuhang replied confidently. His desire to stay alive was still going strong in this regard.
“Take care of yourself… Lately, the fat ball has been in a somewhat complicated state. It’s likely related to the changes in the current Heavenly Dao. Be cautious,” Senior White Two reminded him.
Song Shuhang inquired further, “Senior White, do you have any ideas about how to break that seal of yours?”
Senior White Two responded, “The seal is still the same… and rather comfortable, I might add. If I wanted to break it, it would require effort. In short, be more cautious with your actions for now.”
With this, Senior White Two withdrew his presence.
Song Shuhang looked at his hands.
Last time, when he was frantically trying to apply the Saber Nurturing Technique to Senior White Two’s seal, it seemed to have some effect. However, the moment he stopped practicing the Saber Nurturing Technique, the seal immediately became hostile.
Was there a way to enhance the effects of the Saber Nurturing Technique apart from the ‘hair palm’ technique and potentially free Senior White sooner?
“What’s on your mind?” The demonic hamster reappeared. It perched on Song Shuhang’s table and spat out a fruit from its cheek. It started nibbling away.
Song Shuhang observed its cheeks which were bulging with food. He hadn’t expected the demonic hamster to store food in its cheeks like a regular hamster.
“What are you up to? Don’t even think about my cheek-stored snacks,” the demonic hamster warned him.
Song Shuhang playfully poked the hamster’s head with his finger and said, “I’d never take food from your cheeks no matter how desperate I am. I was just wondering if there’s any way to enhance the effects of the Saber Nurturing Technique aside from the ‘hair palm’ technique to speed up Senior White’s release from the seal.”
“It’s rare for you to think about my master. How about I reward you with a fruit?” the hamster proposed.
“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary,” Song Shuhang declined.
He then took a moment to recollect Senior White Two’s warning. The fat ball boss had been in a strange state lately. It was likely connected to the changes in the current Heavenly Dao.
“Eh? Didn’t Senior White Two mention that I’d be resurrected at his place if I eat something bad?” Song Shuhang suddenly looked at the hamster.
Was there a resurrection array for me in the Netherworld Realm? Did Senior White Two secretly prepare a backup resurrection plan?
“Yes… If you don’t resurrect yourself, you might become a demon of the Netherworld Realm after death,” the hamster replied while rolling its eyes.
Song Shuhang scratched his head.
Resurrected as a demon of the Netherworld?
Maybe it was best not to go down that path for now.
