Chapter 2489 Madness Indeed!
"Wine emboldens the meek, and wealth emboldens the hero."
King Kun's desperate act of hrowing his wealth to escape' had yielded not only a variety of treasures but also an abundance of spirit stones, all of the Ninth Stage – not a single one of Rank-8!
It went without saying that Senior King Kun definitely had a mine, and not just one, but several spirit stone mines.
Song Shuhang transferred all the treasures to his Inner World and carefully hid the spirit stones in various places.
Afterward, he boldly began planning how to repair the bracelet of the Sacred Shadow Land. This was something he wouldn't have even dared to contemplate before. But now, with just a small portion of King Kun's treasures and spirit stones, he could restore the Holy Land of Shadow.
A single coin could stump a hero, but sometimes, a hero's valor grows with wealth!
"Let's go to the world of the golden lotus and see how Daoist Ziwen and the others plan to handle King Kun's consciousness hidden in Yuan Zi's body," Song Shuhang declared majestically with a wave of his hand.
Then, the virtuous lamia shrank in size as her hands reached from behind Song Shuhang's ribs to lift the noodle-like weak Song Shuhang and transported him to the Confucian Golden Lotus world.
The heroic spirit that Song Shuhang had just mustered instantly shattered, leaving no trace behind.
After all, not everyone could maintain their suaveness like Yuan Zi, regardless of their state.
..
After entering the world of the golden lotus, the virtuous lamia's flat imperial hat gently swayed, her power of virtue retracting as she exited her empress state.
Pavilion Master Chu suddenly asked in confusion, "Huh? Where did @#%× Fairy's little feet go to?"
Before, the virtuous lamia, in her 'flat imperial hat empress mode,' had evolved to have two legs. But once she exited this state, her feet disappeared?
Pavilion Master Chu was quite curious about the state of the virtuous lamia's body – perhaps because she herself was nearing the development of a slender waist, she paid more attention to such changes.
Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang weakly raised his head and attempted to turn and see the virtuous lamia's current form.
But due to his weakened state, he struggled to catch his breath, his head trembling for a long time without any response.
Pavilion Master Chu couldn't bear to watch. She gently lifted Song Shuhang's head. At the same time, she tilted his head back to a nearly 180-degree angle and made his head hang back like a steel helmet.
"It's breaking, it's breaking. Senior Pavilion Master Chu, it's going to break," Song Shuhang protested.
At the same time, Song Shuhang managed to see the virtuous lamia's current appearance. Compared to before... there was no change!
Her waist was wrapped by a pair of wings, and beneath the wings was her long snake tail.
"Did the evolution fail?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled. After so much effort and virtue power, the virtuous lamia had entered a cocooning and evolving stage but still hadn't succeeded?
Hearing this, the virtuous lamia smiled smugly and declared, "Virtuous Fairy has evolved~"
The next moment, the tip of her tail started to wiggle.
"She can change?" Song Shuhang, Pavilion Master Chu, the White Dragon, Fairy Creation, and the black-skinned Soft Feather all stared curiously at the tip of the virtuous lamia's tail.
"Like a mermaid," Black-skinned Soft Feather suggested. "Can her tail transform into legs at any time?"
While they were speaking, the tip of the virtuous lamia's tail had already completed its transformation.
It split!
Originally having only one sharp tail, it had now branched into two!
"Evolution ~ Super Virtue Fairy!" the virtuous lamia announced proudly.
Her two sharp tails swayed agilely and performed all sorts of difficult poses. They could even imitate feet and simulate walking.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Pavilion Master Chu was dumbfounded.
Madness!
She had evolved by cocooning, but only to develop a forked tail?
"Hahaha!" The virtuous lamia let out a string of bell-like laughter as her forked tail flapped. She carried Song Shuhang, who was hanging his head, and traced a beautiful path in the sky above the Confucian golden lotus world.
A lunatic's shining trajectory!
At that moment, Song Shuhang was immensely grateful for the mask on his face... At least it somewhat covered his embarrassment.
After a moment of thought, Black-skinned Soft Feather and the White Dragon exchanged glances and then quietly distanced themselves from Song Shuhang—to avoid their style being influenced by this madness.
...
Elsewhere, in a pavilion designated for hosting guests within the Confucian golden lotus world, a young scholar anxiously asked, "Gone? How could such a big person just disappear?"
"I don't know. The golden-haired girl who fell out of Senior Tyrannical Song's Inner World was sleeping here, but when we turned around, she was gone," a Confucian disciple said, clearly upset.
"I'll immediately ask my father to lock onto her location. You all search the nearby area; maybe the golden-haired girl is wandering around," the young scholar said while rubbing his temples.
His name was Su Wenqu, the only son of Senior Eternal Fire. His Daoist name was Jade Sword Scholar, but the outside world often called him by another name: Saber Wielding Scholar.
Su Wenqu stood up and rushed to Venerable Eternal Fire's location. At the same time, he took out his phone and dialed Song Shuhang's number.
After a long wait, Song Shuhang was finally answered.
"Gu gu ~ Hello ~" Song Shuhang's voice sounded strained.
Su Wenqu pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Tyrannical Song... I am Su Wenqu."
"Fellow Daoist Saber Wielding, just call me Shuhang," Song Shuhang replied while his voice returned to normal with a laugh.
"I couldn't possibly, Senior Tyrannical Song, you are..." Su Wenqu started but then hesitated.
Senior Tyrannical Song was likely a Sage reincarnated!
"Do you need something?" Song Shuhang inquired.
"It's like this... Before you went out to confront Senior King Kun and that liquid metal ball, an unconscious golden-haired girl fell out of your Inner World. We didn't know her relation to you, so we temporarily placed her in the guest pavilion. But when we turned around, she was gone," Su Wenqu explained with a bitter smile.
Before confronting King Kun, Tyrannical Song had left a Sage Seal Wooden Saber in place to maintain an exit to the Inner World, just in case. A blonde girl had fallen out of that exit.
"Golden-haired girl? Are you sure it's not the black-haired girl Sixteen?" Song Shuhang asked, confused.
"Blond hair," Su Wenqu confirmed.
"There's a golden-haired girl in my Inner World?" Song Shuhang mused while momentarily delving into his memories.
"Oh my goodness, there really is a little blonde girl. How did she fall out?" Song Shuhang suddenly remembered the origin of this golden-haired girl.
She was the semi-mechanical blonde girl who had taken his core reactor. After using a resurrection coin, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
