Chapter 498: The Flaming Saber Technique, eat it while it’s still warm!

”It's white rice, and its taste is quite good. Since it was a hard to come by opportunity, little friend Song Shuhang ordered quite a lot of it,” Fairy Firefly said with a smile.
In the instant she smiled, her body started to emit that gravitational attraction once more.
Papa Song, who was leading the way, felt his body become heavy, just as though he was walking against the wind. He had to spend a great deal of effort to take each step.
What's happening? My body seems to have become quite weak nowadays… Papa Song thought to himself. I'll ask my wife to prepare me some tonic tonight to recover my strength.
After hearing that Song Shuhang had purchased some white rice, Papa Song didn't inquire further… and it was a good thing that he didn't. Otherwise, if he were to discover that Song Shuhang ordered a thousand packets of rice in one go, he would surely curse him and label him as a wastrel. Then, he would look for something to beat him up.
In the rear, after discovering Papa Song's difficulties, Fairy Firefly immediately stopped smiling. The gravitational attraction spreading from her body likewise disappeared.
Papa Song suddenly felt his body become lighter and was somewhat confused as to what was happening.
After taking a few steps, Papa Song asked, ”Right. Miss, how should I address you?”
Up until now, he had yet to ask the name of this girl wearing an ancient red skirt.
”You can just call me Liu Ying 1 , I guess,” Fairy Firefly said with a smile.
”Liu Ying, huh? It's a very good name,” Papa Song continued. ”Since you're Song Shuhang's friend, you don't really need to act like a stranger and can just call me Uncle Song.”
Fairy Firefly was speechless and somewhat embarra.s.sed.
After all, she wasn't like those shameless people that would call a youngster in his forties 'uncle' just to appear young! Her actual age was enough to let her end up in the first pages of the Song Family's list of ancestors.
Papa Song enthusiastically led Fairy Firefly into the living room. After seeing that there was a guest, Mama Song quickly went to prepare a cup of 'Spirit Green Tea'.
Song Shuhang had reminded them earlier that they could put at most two tea leaves in one cup of Spirit Green Tea.
Fairy Firefly took the cup, looked at the two lonely tea leaves drifting on the surface and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although it had been a long time since she met ordinary people, Fairy Firefly had a lot of experience due to her age. Therefore, she was able to quickly get on the same wavelength as Mama Song and Papa Song.
The three people started to laugh and chat.
...Ahaha, by the way, how come little friend Shuhang isn't home yet?
If they kept chatting, it would be difficult for her to avoid referring to Papa Song as 'Uncle Song'. It was simply too embarra.s.sing. Fairy Firefly got gooseb.u.mps just at the thought of such a scene.

In the meantime.
Song Shuhang was still riding on the silver dragon puppet. However, he didn't directly head in Wenzhou City's direction. He first made a turn and headed toward the smelted cave.
He headed toward the same smelted cave that was once She Lan's dwelling.
When Song Shuhang entered the dreamland the last time and dreamt of She Lan's life experiences, he got ahold of two important pieces of information.
The first one was that She Lan explored the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue together with his companions.
The second one was that there was a double-layered wall in the depths of the smelted cave, and behind this double-layered wall was concealed an exquisite wooden puppet that was probably related to the Jet-Black Sect and the mastermind behind She Lan. Therefore, Song Shuhang took this matter to heart.
That exquisite wooden puppet had managed to conceal itself in the depths of the smelted cave before She Lan, who had been just transformed into a puppet, regained his senses.
At first, Song Shuhang was planning to return to the cave together with a senior.
But now, a cultivator of the Fourth Stage Innate Realm such as Yu Jiaojiao was sitting on his shoulder. Li Yinzhu, another cultivator of the Fourth Stage Innate Realm, was also together with him. Therefore, he might as well try to explore the cave now.
In addition to these two cultivators of the Fourth Stage Realm, Song Shuhang still had Guoguo, a mascot of the First Stage Mortality Transcender Realm, as well as two seahorse-type spirit beasts with the bloodline of a flood dragon. At this time, they were unexpectedly lying down next to Li Yinzhu's body and blowing bubbles with their mouths.
It seemed that the two seahorses really liked the cold air spreading from Li Yinzhu's body.
On the other hand, Li Yinzhu also seemed to really like the seahorses. If one were to look carefully, they would see that there was some drool flowing out from the corners of her mouth...

After they arrived in the airs.p.a.ce of the smelted cave, the silver puppet dragon slowly descended.
On the back of the dragon, Song Shuhang's face was deathly pale.
After his craving for riding the silver dragon puppet like a dragon knight was satisfied and the adrenaline rush was over, Song Shuhang acrophobia resurfaced once more. When he saw that the houses below were only of the size of small black dots, Song Shuhang felt his legs becoming somewhat soft.
It was something that had nothing to do with willpower. After all, Song Shuhang's willpower was very strong, but acrophobia was a fearsome symptom that even his willpower couldn't overcome.
According to Song Shuhang's guess, he might be able to get rid of his acrophobia after learning how to ride a flying sword since he wouldn't have to worry about falling from the sky anymore.
Luckily, the back of the silver dragon puppet was somewhat bigger than the layer of light of disposable flying swords and had a special saddle for flying and reins that one could grab.
With that, Song Shuhang was able to keep the fear under control and slowly descend.
”Later, I will ask if one of the seniors can install a winds.h.i.+eld on this silver dragon puppet,” Song Shuhang muttered to himself. Since there was nothing around while he was flying in the middle of the sky, Song Shuhang felt particularly anxious.
❄️❄️❄️
The silver dragon puppet slowly descended and got inside the cave from the entrance Venerable White created when he fell down.
Guoguo jumped down from the back of the dragon and curiously looked all around, asking, ”What is this place?”
