Chapter 1246 - 1246 Illegitimate child

1246 Illegitimate child

Pavilion Master Chu asked, “Are you going to leave again?”

The golden man replied, “My time is limited regardless of where I stay in this universe. I won’t be able to stay here for much longer.”

Pavilion Master Chu fell silent.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine,” the golden man said. “If a problem really does come up, there’s still one last thing that I can resort to.”

“A last resort?” Pavilion Master Chu raised her head and looked at him.

“Do you know of Cheng Lin’s path to immortality? I’ve also mastered that path. At that time, Fairy Chu, you will become my daughter. It’s quite odd for a man to be giving birth, but for you, I’m prepared to sacrifice what I can to overcome this physiological obstacle. Well, the main reason for this is that… just imagining the scene where you call me daddy makes me feel very excited,” the golden man said with a thumbs up.

Pavilion Master Chu rolled her eyes, and said, “I’d rather die.”

If that was how she was going to be reborn, then she’d rather just die.

In addition, as far as she knew, every ‘path to immortality’ could only have a single owner. As such, the ‘path’ of each Immortal was completely different from one another, so why could this guy master Cheng Lin’s path to immortality?

The golden man said, “He’s coming, I have to go.” While he spoke, he poured all of the immortal energy within him into Pavilion Master Chu. This way, Pavilion Master Chu would be able to maintain her current state and avoid disintegrating completely, at least for a short while.

Pavilion Master Chu asked, “Who’s coming?”

The golden man smiled, and said, “The cute Fellow Daoist Song.”

Pavilion Master Chu recalled, and asked, “What’s his relationship with you?”

Why had everyone mistaken Song Shuhang for Slow-Witted Song whenever they first met him? Just a second look at him would reveal that he and Slow-Witted Song were completely different.

Song Shuhang wanted to know the reason for this, and the same went for her.

“It seems you’ve figured it out.” The golden man sighed, and said, “Well, it’s not like I intended to keep it secret forever.”

Pavilion Master Chu: “?”

“In fact, this little Fellow Daoist Song is my illegitimate child. However, don’t tell anyone else,” the golden man said with emotion.

Pavilion Master Chu was shocked.

The golden man waved his hand, and said, “Hahahaha, I’m just joking with you, how could I actually have an illegitimate child. Anyhow, I really have to go now.”

Pavilion Master Chu asked, “Who’s the mother?”

The golden man replied, “Huh?”

“Is it the Golden Dragon? Cheng Lin? White Bone? Or is it some other fairy that I don’t know of? Or, could you have spread out a net and simply got many illegitimate children?” Pavilion Master Chu listed out several names successively.

The golden man wiped his sweat, and replied, “I was just joking with you, seriously.”

Pavilion Master Chu’s beautiful eyes intently stared at the golden man.

The golden man said in all seriousness, “I’m not lying to you, and I really did want to have a child, it would have to be a daughter. Daughters are cute, while sons are just troublesome.”

Pavilion Master Chu closed her eyes and stopped talking.

The golden man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply dismissed it, and said, “I’ll be going first.”

Pavilion Master Chu suddenly said, “So you want a daughter?”

The golden man asked, “Huh?”

“Nothing, we can talk about it some other time.” Pavilion Master Chu yawned and her eyes became drowsy.

The golden man was dumbfounded, and then he disappeared.

At this time, inside a really long spatial channel.

Song Shuhang was running wildly.

Behind him, the spatial channel was constantly collapsing.

“F*ck, what the hell is happening!” Song Shuhang fully exerted the ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯.

In this spatial channel, for some reason, he couldn’t fly on his saber, and could only run about madly.

However, the speed of the ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ was much slower than the speed at which the spatial channel was collapsing.

Song Shuhang could only accumulate some qi, and when he was about to be caught up to by the collapsing spatial channel, he would use the ❮Celestial Sprint❯ to quickly create some distance between them.

After that burst, he would go back to using the ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯.

Song Shuhang smiled bitterly. “Damn it, why was I left behind in the spatial channel? Also, why does it seem like there’s no end to this tunnel?”

He had clearly entered the spatial gate together with the virtuous lamia and Senior Turtle, yet he somehow ended up entering this long spatial channel by himself.

The worst part of it all was that the spatial channel had begun crumbling, and the parts of the channel that had collapsed would turn into spatial cracks, which had the ability to swallow anything and everything.

As such, Song Shuhang could only choose to run as fast as he could.

“How unfortunate~” Song Shuhang smiled bitterly. This spatial gate really is just a huge pain in the ass… sigh.

While he was running wildly, he had also tried to open his Inner World. However, his Inner World was blocked, similar to when he was in the ‘Heavenly Tribulation Realm’. As such, if he wanted to open it, it would take a considerable amount of time to do so.

Besides that, he had even tried using the rune that the little sun, You’re Busy T233, had left him, but even that wasn’t working.

Therefore, he had no choice other than to run desperately.

Song Shuhang murmured, “F*ck, is this the retribution I’m getting for taking too much forging materials from those who had been affected by the evil energy of the Netherworld in the Beast Realm?”

But that can’t be it. Every time I cured someone, I’d get a small bit of virtue, so doing all that could be said to be a virtuous act. It wouldn’t make sense for it to lead me to such an unfortunate event.

Anyway, how long have I been running…

Song Shuhang felt that he had been running for a century.

“If there were some gold coins, gems, and so on in the front, then it’d be like a Song Shuhang version of the temple run game,” Song Shuhang mockingly said to himself.

Just as he said that, a light suddenly appeared in front of him.

It’s the exit!

However, where am I going to end up after going through the exit?

After running for so long in this spatial channel, it’s quite possible that I’ve run from the Beast Realm to another world…

Well, wherever it might be, I should just exit first.

Song Shuhang leaped forward in a graceful pose and went into the exit of the spatial channel.

Song Shuhang clenched his fists, and said, “YES!”

After he exited the spatial channel, he reappeared in mid-air and began falling at great speeds.

Song Shuhang willed, and a black lotus appeared under his feet, supporting his body.

At this time, Pavilion Master Chu’s voice sounded. “Ye Si is still outside the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. She’s still in the middle of transcending her inner demon tribulation, so it would be useless to call her right now.[1]”

Song Shuhang turned his head, and then saw Pavilion Master Chu’s drowsy and beautiful face.

“F*cking hell!” Song Shuhang jumped back in shock. “Pavilion Master Chu, what happened to you?”

“As you can see, only my head is left, but it actually doesn’t feel too bad.” After saying that, Pavilion Master Chu yawned.

Song Shuhang then stepped onto the black lotus and approached Pavilion Master Chu.

Looking at Pavilion Master Chu, his right hand became rather itchy, and he slowly reached forward, desiring to pat Pavilion Master Chu’s head—he always felt that Pavilion Master Chu’s head was like a hairball and was especially cute.

Pavilion Master Chu said, “I’ll bite you!”

Song Shuhang withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

Pavilion Master Chu calmly said, “I met Slow-Witted Song just now, and I asked him about how you were related to him.”

Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “What did he say?”

Pavilion Master Chu said, “He said that you’re his illegitimate child.”

Song Shuhang: 😳

Ille… Il-illegitimate child?!

“Pavilion Master, are you sure you heard it right?” Song Shuhang simply couldn’t believe it.

He was obviously born from his mother’s belly. Papa Song and Mama Song’s pictures during pregnancy, as well as the picture of Song Shuhang just born, and his birth certificate and the like existed. How could he be the illegitimate child of Slow-Witted Song?

Pavilion Master Chu calmly said, “Although I have only my head left, my ears are a part of my head. I definitely did not hear it wrong, Slow-Witted Song said it personally.”

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.

This information was simply too much to take in over a short amount of time.

He might have actually not been born to his parents?

After a while…

Song Shuhang tried asking, “Are you sure that Slow-Witted Song wasn’t just joking?”

Pavilion Master Chu replied, “Who knows? You also know Slow-Witted Song a bit. You should know his personality, though he might seem to be joking at times, what he’s saying might actually contain truthful information. While at other times, though he might seem to be saying something very seriously, he’s actually just joking. So, as to whether or not he was joking? I really do not know.”

Song Shuhang’s liver hurt.

He said, “Assuming… I mean assuming that I really am his illegitimate child, who is my mother?”

Pavilion Master Chu added, “Perhaps Cheng Lin, Golden Dragon, White Bone, or some other fairy that I might not know of. Oh yeah… if your mother is Cheng Lin, you and Ye Si are actually siblings. Hahaha.”

Song Shuhang said, “F*ck.”

“Just kidding.” Pavilion Master Chu yawned languidly.

“Huh?”

“In the end, Slow-Witted Song said that he was joking with me about you being his illegitimate child,” Pavilion Master Chu said. “Yup, the look of surprise on your face was quite similar to how mine was when he said that to me. Seeing you with such a dumbfounded face makes me feel more comfortable.”

“…” Song Shuhang said, “So… I’m not the Slow-Witted Song’s illegitimate child, right?”

Pavilion Master Chu said, “Who knows? When it comes to Slow-Witted Song’s words, whether or not it’s something to be believed depends on your own intuition.”

Song Shuhang looked up to the sky. If I had gotten out of the spatial channel a bit earlier, I could have met Slow-Witted Song, and maybe even asked him where the secret code was hidden.

❄️❄️❄️

At this moment, the sea turtle and the virtuous lamia carried Ye Si as they flew over.

[Shuhang, rescue the Pavilion Master.] Ye Si’s voice rang in Song Shuhang’s mind.

Song Shuhang asked, [How am I supposed to help Pavilion Master Chu?]

[Save her~] Ye Si’s consciousness was falling back into the inner demon tribulation, so she could only utter these final words before going completely quiet once again.

Song Shuhang sighed as he reached over to take Ye Si.

As his ghost spirit, Ye Si integrated into his body automatically.

Speaking of which, why had she come out of his body?

The virtuous lamia took down the flat imperial crown and entered Song Shuhang’s body as well. However, her mount, the fat whale, was left behind to support Song Shuhang should the need arise.

In the belly of the fat whale, the white-haired man’s eyes were rolled up—he appeared to be still unconscious.

Song Shuhang asked, “Pavilion Master Chu, is there anything I could do to help?”

Pavilion Master only had her head left, and there was no knowing if she could even grow back the rest of her body.

“I haven’t found a way to deal with the situation yet,” Pavilion Master Chu said. “Do you perhaps know of anything that could help me deal with it?”

“Me?” Song Shuhang pointed at himself, and said, “Senior Chu, I’m just a small Fourth Stage cultivator.”

[1] YES! = Ye Si.
