Chapter 2403 Not Yours, Not Mine
She just fainted like that?
Fairy White Bones was at the Immortal level, right?
Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at Pavilion Master Chu's bewildering hair. Had her hair gained power as her body recovered?
"Don't look at me. I was gentle," replied Pavilion Master Chu while sounding rather nonchalant.
Fairy Creation chimed in. "She just fell!"
Pavilion Master Chu sighed.
Song Shuhang reached out and grabbed Fairy Creation before gently putting her back in the room. He couldn't help but wonder why Fairy Creation seemed so lively today. Had something joyful happened?
Pavilion Master Chu, on the other hand, flicked her hair casually and gently laid the unconscious Immortal Fairy White Bones on the ground.
"Is this an insurance scam?" questioned the sword.
"No, she really fainted," Pavilion Master Chu replied in a somewhat absentminded manner. "But it's not because of me. It's purely due to her excessive exhaustion. She had been hanging on through sheer willpower and fumes."
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet examined Immortal Fairy White Bones's body. "She only has minor injuries. A good night's sleep will do the trick. Immortals aren't that fragile."
"In that case, let her rest for a while. I originally wanted to ask her about her gigantic skeleton mecha," Song Shuhang mused. He used his telekinetic energy to move Immortal Fairy White Bones to the side of the living spring.
This place had the most abundant spiritual energy in the Inner World and was the perfect spot for Fairy White Bones to recover.
Song Shuhang gently placed Immortal Fairy White Bones on the ground.
Soft Feather took out her own sheet and covered Immortal Fairy White Bones with it. Then, she asked, "Senior Song, do you want to learn the White Bone Giant Secret Technique?"
Song Shuhang shook his head and explained, "I just have a feeling that her giant skeleton pairs well with the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure. I simply wanted to learn more about it."
Of course, it would be even better if he could learn this White Bone Giant Secret Technique from Fairy White Bones herself. If he could use both the White Bone Giant and the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure simultaneously, transcending the Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation would be a piece of cake.
Pavilion Master Chu's real body blew a bubble and added, "I'll ask her about it after she wakes up. You saved her life, so it's only fair to ask for a reward."
"No need, no need. I didn't do it expecting any reward," Song Shuhang replied with a smile. "Anyway, I'll talk to Immortal Fairy White Bones once she wakes up."
He stood up and put his mask back on. "Soft Feather, let's go!"
Soft Feather turned to him and asked, "Where to?"
"Let's head to the Su Clan in the Spirit River. We'll find a spot to get started," Song Shuhang said while extending his hand and summoning the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure and the Old Lord Giant Deer's Bow.
"Are you planning to fly using the bow?" inquired the puzzled hamster.
"No, no, no. I want to try shooting myself out," Song Shuhang replied. His expression was serious as he held the massive bow.
The hamster was baffled.
"From here to the Spirit River Su Clan?" asked the sword. "Are you trying to overcome your fear of speed?"
Song Shuhang chuckled, "No, I'm just feeling a bit nervous. I thought this dramatic entrance might help me relax and ease the tension in my heart."
With that, he opened an exit to the Inner World.
This exit led directly to the Spirit River Su Clan. These were the coordinates of the wooden saber that Song Shuhang had asked Su Kongyun to retrieve last time. Unfortunately, Su Clan's Sixteen was still inside the secret realm. Otherwise, Song Shuhang could have placed the coordinates right next to her.
"Let's go!" Song Shuhang waved his hand, and the Old Lord Giant Deer's Bow automatically stretched itself open.
He jumped onto the bow, and with a twang, he shot himself out of the Inner World toward the Spirit River Su Clan.
The hamster and sword stared at the vibrating bowstring in silence.
"Senior Song, wait for me!" Soft Feather called out and leaped onto the massive bow. With a whoosh, she was launched right after Song Shuhang.
"Black-skinned Soft Feather, are you coming too?" the sword inquired.
Butterfly Song, in her white and yellow attire, quickly shook her head. She gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped into the air, and chased after Song Shuhang and her main body.
The sword followed closely behind.
Next came the hamster, Lady Onion, and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.
In the blink of an eye, the Inner World's living spring returned to its peaceful state. There were only Fairy White Bones and Pavilion Master Chu, both sleeping soundly.
Fairy White Bones did not rest for long.
After regaining some of her strength, she regained consciousness and opened her eyes.
"Yo, you're awake," Pavilion Master Chu said lazily.
Fairy White Bones sat up and looked at the beauty, who was soaking in the spring.
"Pavilion Master Chu of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion?" Fairy White Bones tried to confirm her identity.
"Do you know me?" Pavilion Master Chu asked in puzzlement. She had never interacted with Fairy White Bones before.
"Yes, after the destruction of the ancient Heavenly City, I secretly investigated many things, so I know some insider information," Fairy White Bones said as she sat down while hugging her knees.
The Pavilion Master Chu in front of her had significant connections to the collapse of the ancient Heavenly City, according to her covert investigations.
According to her findings, Cheng Lin, the mastermind behind the ancient Heavenly City's collapse, had originally targeted Pavilion Master Chu of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. Additionally, Slow-Witted Song had been enigmatic during the city's destruction. He had played a role in many events.
But in the end, Fairy Cheng Lin took the blame while Slow-Witted Song was overlooked.
Pavilion Master Chu was speechless.
"Where's Slow-Witted Song? I distinctly sensed his aura earlier," Fairy White Bones asked.
"I don't know where he is," Pavilion Master Chu replied calmly. "He hasn't appeared since the beginning."
Fairy White Bones furrowed her brow. "Impossible. I clearly sensed him earlier... Wait, could it be..."
"That's right. The person who saved you wasn't Slow-Witted Song, but Shuhang... It was Tyrannical Song who welcomed you earlier. The two sets of Combined Magical Treasures are his magical treasures." Pavilion Master Chu replied.
Fairy White Bones was speechless.
The scene fell into an awkward silence.
What's the relationship between Profound Sage Tyrannical Song and Slow-Witted Song?" Fairy White Bones looked at Pavilion Master Chu.
"About time." Pavilion Master Chu had been waiting for Fairy White Bones to ask this question for a long time.
"He's an illegitimate child." Pavilion Master Chu replied.
Fairy White Bones was stunned.
"He told me about this personally." After Pavilion Master Chu said that, she waved her hair and pinched out an image.
In the video, Pavilion Master Chu only showed her head. Opposite her was a golden man.
The two of them were in the middle of a question-and-answer session.
"What is your relationship with him?" Pavilion Master Chu asked.
"Looks like you've discovered it. I don't intend to hide this matter from everyone anymore," the golden man said with a sigh.
"In truth, little Daoist Song is my illegitimate son. Don't tell anyone." The golden man sighed.
The video ended.
Although the golden man's appearance was different from what she remembered, Immortal Fairy White Bones was sure of his identity with a single glance.
"Illegitimate son? With whom?" Immortal Fairy White Bones took out her divine sword and gently stroked it.
"It doesn't look like it's yours." Pavilion Master Chu didn't answer directly.
"So, it's the ancestral golden dragon's?"
"Not hers, not yours, and not mine." Pavilion Master Chu nodded.
Immortal Fairy White Bones was speechless.
The silence lasted for a while.
"I'll ask him myself," Immortal Fairy White Bones stood up.
"I'm really joking," Pavilion Master Chu said lazily.
"I still want to meet Profound Sage Tyrannical Song," Immortal Fairy White Bones said.
In fact, it was best to ask Slow-Witted Song, but that guy couldn't be found so soon, so she could only settle for the next best thing and ask one of the people involved, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
