Chapter 1385 - Cute little horns (1/2)

Song Shuhang talked as they moved forward.

The ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯ was written from the perspective of an onlooker rather than the protagonist. It was a story about the hards.h.i.+ps in the process of becoming a senior monk.

Song Shuhang said, “A long, long time ago, there was a senior monk. He had a bald head, wore thin linen cloth, and walked barefoot. His body was thin, but his eyes were bright and full of energy and spirit.”

Soft Feather asked, “That looks like a very ordinary monk. Is this story interesting?”

Su Clan’s Sixteen covered her mouth and chuckled. “Shuhang, you’re also still a baldy.”

Song Shuhang subconsciously touched his bald head. “No need to fear. I have the ‘hair growing technique’… In the future, when the ‘blue hair’ problem is solved, I won’t have any problem with growing my hair as much as I want. As long as I am willing, I could even grow it until it reaches my waist.”

Soft Feather grinned, and said, “Is Senior Song going to get married after his hair reaches his waist?”

Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. “Why should I marry someone? Hmm, well, I am the only seedling in my family. Of course, I’d eventually get myself a wife.”

The fine tradition of the Nine Provinces Number One Group—sudden topic changing.

“Soon, you won’t be the only seedling anymore.” Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Song Shuhang.

It was a strange voice, erratic, and made one feel as if the speaker was smirking.

Song Shuhang turned his head but saw no one.

Song Shuhang doubtfully said, “Was that an auditory hallucination?”

Soft Feather said, “No, I heard it too. Just now, there was a voice saying that you wouldn’t be the only seedling.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded. “I heard that too.”

Song Shuhang said, “What does that mean? I’m not the only seedling? Could it be that my parents are going to have another child? Although the second child policy was revised a few years ago, my parents said that they were no longer prepared to have another child, because I was already in junior high at the time.”

Soft Feather poked Song Shuhang, and said, “Senior Song, after we got locked inside the Wielder’s small black room, everyone in the universe forgot about us. Could auntie and uncle have forgotten about you?”

Song Shuhang froze.

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Also, auntie and uncle have been drinking spirit green tea and living spring water, so they should be getting younger and younger as time pa.s.ses.”

Because Song Shuhang was kind to Sixteen, Su Clan’s Seven had quietly arranged some disciples to live near Song Shuhang’s home to protect Song Shuhang’s parents. As such, Sixteen was privy to the intelligence on Papa Song and Mama Song becoming younger and younger as well.

Soft Feather clapped her hands. “Auntie and uncle forgot about Senior Song, and they’ve also been getting younger and younger… Well, according to detective Soft Feather’s inference, when Senior Song gets home, auntie might already be pregnant. I wonder if it’s a younger brother or younger sister?”

Song Shuhang immediately knelt down.

…The possibility of it happening was too great.

What was he supposed to do if he returned home and found that he had an extra brother or sister?

Song Shuhang pondered for a moment…

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, he felt quite moved.

Having a younger brother or younger sister would be cute.

He could take them out to play secretly—such as letting them secretly fly through the skies on a sword, and making them laugh happily in the sky.

Or he could take them into the sea, wrap them in the sword light, and then run to the depths of the seabed in a single breath, allowing them to experience the beauty of the underwater world up close.

And he was even at the Fifth Stage now, so it was no problem for him to directly go to s.p.a.ce!

With him, he could have his younger brother or sister experience a dreamlike life at a very young age.

While other children were dreaming of superman, or immortals, or heroes, he could directly have his younger brother or sister experience the life in their dreams.

Not good, I’m suddenly really looking forward to having a sibling!

Sixteen asked, “If aunt gives birth to a son, can you get married into a girl’s family?”

Song Shuhang was confused. “Huh?”

“From your expression, I understand.” Sixteen squeezed her chin, and said, “Then, can you accept a mutual marriage?”

“Mutual marriage?” Song Shuhang continued to be confused.

Sixteen gestured with both of her hands, and said, “The woman will marry into the man’s family and have a wedding. Then, the man will marry into the woman’s family and have another similar wedding.”

It was an inconceivable wedding plan.

“Is there really such a thing?” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Mm-hm, there is. It can deal with those old customs.”

Song Shuhang curiously said, “Old customs?”

Soft Feather chuckled, and said, “Senior Song, you know too little about the world of cultivation. In some cultivation families, there are some old ways of thinking like ‘secret techniques cannot be leaked outside’, ‘daughters are to be married off to another family, so secret cultivation techniques can only pa.s.sed on to males’, and ‘after a daughter learns the unique cultivation technique of her family, she also has to try to avoid having it spread elsewhere’.”

While chuckling, she suddenly had an epiphany.

Is Sixteen trying to marry Senior Song?

Is the relations.h.i.+p between Sixteen and Senior Song already that good? Why did I not know this?

“So that’s the case.” Song Shuhang understood. In fact, these old ways of thinking weren’t wrong for a ‘family’, because it was this way of thinking that allowed a family to last longer. After all, cultivation families were different from sects, and they had to pay more attention to prevent their cultivation techniques from spreading.

“Actually, there is a solution to this.” Soft Feather raised one finger, and said, “If you’re strong enough, you won’t face any trouble at all. If you’re at least a Seventh Stage Venerable… No, an Eighth Stage Profound Sage, you would have no problem. Mm-hm, and if you’re a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender, no matter which sect or family you’re trying to join, everyone will agree. Even if you wanted to marry the female head of that family, n.o.body would object.”

If the Spirit River Su Clan also hid an existence at her father’s level, then there would be total a.s.surance once one was an Eighth Stage Profound Sage.

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “That makes sense.”

Song Shuhang said, “What makes sense? You think Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders are that common? There aren’t even any Tribulation Transcenders in our Nine Provinces Number One Group, and when it comes to Profound Sages, there are only the newly ascended Senior White and Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue. If you’re pus.h.i.+ng it, there’s also Senior Spirit b.u.t.terfly, who will soon ascend.”

Soft Feather cupped her hands towards Song Shuhang. “Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, it’s an honor to meet you.”
