Chapter 359: Shuhang, how about becoming a girl? (2/2)

”The sword of my life, appear,” Chu Chu said in a low but firm voice. When she said these words, the cry of the short sword in her hand became even louder.

Song Shuhang could feel Chu Chu's blood and qi energy pouring into the short sword, and as though the sword had accepted this energy, its sword light became even brighter and sharper.

At this time, Song Shuhang felt his own heart speed up.

It wasn't Chu Chu's heart that was speeding up… it was his own heart that started to beat crazily.

”Thump! Thump! Thump!”

His heart was beating so fast that it felt as though it was going to jump out of his chest.

Something inside his Heart Aperture was trying to break out.

It was the ghost spirit!

From its actions, it seemed it wanted to enter the dreamland and approach the small Chu Chu in the dream. The sword in her hands had aroused its interest.

It wasn't only Chu Chu; the ghost spirit wanted to approach those four pictures as well. Since their senses were interlinked, Song Shuhang could understand the intentions of the ghost spirit.

❄️❄️❄️

In the next moment, Song Shuhang opened his eyes. The dream had come to an end.

He looked outside the tent and saw through the cracks that the sky was still dark and full of stars. The moon and the stars were both s.h.i.+ning brightly.

”It's still night?” Song Shuhang forced a smile and stretched his hand to feel his chest.

His heartbeat was still unstable, and the ghost spirit in his Heart Aperture was acting up as though it had received a strong stimulation. The fact that the ghost spirit was this lively wasn't really a bad thing. It would just give Song Shuhang a large quant.i.ty of qi and blood energy.

Song Shuhang deeply sighed and couldn't calm down for quite a while.

He touched the ancient bronze ring on his finger. Was this the karma that Li Tiansu left behind after his death?

”Those four canvases in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Chu Family… perhaps I should take a look at them?” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

But how could he enter that secret bas.e.m.e.nt in the Chu Family?

The night was still long, and Song Shuhang couldn't get any sleep.

After heaving a sigh, he came out of the tent.

As soon as he came out of the tent, he noticed a figure sitting on a smooth rock not too far away from his position.

The figure was holding a teacup made of bamboo in its hands, with hot steam coming out of it.

Beside the figure was a simple shelf with some food, fruits, and steaming hot tea water on it.

The gentle light of the moon shone on the figure, and the entire world seemed perfectly still at this time.

Song Shuhang blinked… the figure was Venerable White!

It was already late. Hadn't Venerable White gone to sleep yet?

Right. Given Venerable White's strength, something like sleeping wasn't necessary anymore. Recently, he had been sleeping only because he was coordinating with Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang scratched his head in puzzlement. As far as he remembered, that rock wasn't there earlier! He didn't remember seeing it this morning. Moreover, its surface was too smooth, as though it was cut with a sword.

Just as his imagination was running wild, Venerable White turned his head around and narrowed his eyes into a smile, saying, ”You woke up? Did you have a nightmare?”

”Ahaha.” Song Shuhang laughed embarra.s.sed and said, ”No, it wasn't really a nightmare… just a strange dream. After waking up, I couldn't get any sleep. Therefore, I decided to take a stroll.”

”^_^” Venerable White faintly smiled and said, ”If you can't fall asleep, how about you come over and sit here?”

”In that case, I'll be impolite.” Song Shuhang quickly climbed onto the big rock, sitting beside Venerable White. Then, he stretched his hand out and took a fruit, starting to eat it.

Venerable White lightly smiled and poured some tea for Song Shuhang, placing the cup on the shelf.

Soon after, he picked his own cup and gently blew on it, taking a sip. After slowly lowering his eyes, he asked, ”What was the dream about?”

Song Shuhang took the cup of tea from the shelf and imitated Venerable White, taking a small sip as well. ”I dreamt about Miss Chu Chu's life, as well as some matters regarding Daoist Priest Li Tiansu. Li Tiansu is that cultivator that came cras.h.i.+ng at us when I was contracting the ghost spirit.”

”Oh, I remember him.” Venerable White slightly nodded. ”If you don't mind, can you share the details with me?”

”I don't mind… however, the dream was a bit strange,” said Song Shuhang, somewhat embarra.s.sed. He hadn't told anyone about his ability to dream about other people's lives.

”Let's hear it then.” Venerable White laughed.

Song Shuhang nodded and started to tell Senior White about what happened in the dreamland...

Venerable White was silently listening to Song Shuhang's story, slightly nodding his head from time to time.

”That's the gist of it. In the end, the ghost spirit in my Heart Aperture started to act up, and I woke up.” After narrating the matters related to the dreamland, Song Shuhang drank the tea in one go.

”Ah! Hot, hot, hot!” He spat his tongue out and gasped for breath. At the same time, he felt that the flavor of this tea was excellent. Several times better than the 'Spirit Green Tea'. The flavor was so incredible that his taste buds were in ecstasy.

Venerable White shot a glance at the lively Song Shuhang and said with a smile, ”Do you feel better now?”

”Yes… after talking to someone, I indeed feel better,” Song Shuhang replied. His heartbeat had slowed down, and the ghost spirit in the Heart Aperture had also settled down.

”If you have calmed down, you should go back to sleep. We'll leave the island tomorrow.” Venerable White gazed at the bright moon hanging in the sky. Then, he lowered his head and blew on the tea.

”Senior White, don't you find it strange? The way I have these dreams, as well as their contents?” Song Shuhang asked.

”They are indeed strange,” Senior White said with a calm expression on his face. ”But it's not like they're causing you harm, right?”

”That's also true.” Song Shuhang scratched his head and laughed.

Soon after, he stood up and waved his hand to Senior White. ”In that case, I'll go back to sleep.”

”Goodnight,” Venerable White said.

”Goodnight,” Song Shuhang said as he jumped down from the rock.

Now then, who thought that Senior White had such a womanly side, he's really gentle and understanding, Song Shuhang thought to himself.

”Hmm… womanly side?” Venerable White calm voice transmitted from the rock. ”Shuhang, I feel that it won't be bad for you to impersonate a woman. Hmm… for example, Miss Chu Chu.”

Eh? Did I carelessly blurt out what I was thinking?
