Chapter 121: I Have Half a Fasting Pill, You Want Some?

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Su Clan’s Sixteen turned her head, too embarrassed to look Song Shuhang in the face.

Looks like she didn’t prepare food or water.

If you want something, better get it yourself. Song Shuhang started to search his body: a bottle of six qi and blood pills, one stinking pill, multiple talismans, some cash, and a phone.

But, these things couldn’t be eaten, and qi and blood pill couldn’t satiate starvation.

“Huh? This is…” Song Shuhang fished out a medicinal pill.

It was a fasting pill that had been used! A few days ago, Senior Medicine Master gave it to him in passing for lunch, but he only used it once, and then stored it.

Thankfully, he didn’t just casually nibble on it in the past few days, so it was still useful.

With a satisfied look, Song Shuhang shoved the fasting pill in his mouth. Instantly, his mouth was filled with fragrance, and the feeling of hunger vanished like mist and smoke. After his stomach felt full, Shuhang took out the fasting pill, and carefully wiped off the saliva on it.

This thing might save his life in the future, or so Song Shuhang thought.

“Gugugu…”

A strange sound suddenly resounded. Was it coming from the stomach?

‘Huh? My stomach is full, why did it give off a gugu sound? Could it be that the fasting pill expired?’ Song Shuhang touched his stomach doubtfully, but it was full—no problem at all!

“Gugugu…” another string of gugu sounds.

Song Shuhang looked suspiciously at lady Su Clan’s Sixteen who claimed to be able to ‘fast.’ Lady Su Clan’s Sixteen turned her head around again, her face blushed.

Song Shuhang pondered, and tried to give her the fasting pill in his hand as he asked, “If you don’t mind, want to try keeping it in your mouth?”

“No, I can fa-” gugugu sounds interrupted Su Clan’s Sixteen’s words.

A short while later, Sixteen clenched her teeth, “My realm is different from yours, even if I swallowed all of this half-eaten fasting pill, it’ll only satisfy my hunger slightly.”

“Then swallow it.” Song Shuhang said. Otherwise, her stomach growling would make Song Shuhang feel uncomfortable all over.

Sixteen took the fasting pill, pondered a bit, then said, “After we pull through this crisis, I’ll repay you with hundred fasting pills!

“Alright, alright.” Song Shuhang replied perfunctorily as if dealing with a child.

Sixteen took a deep breath and swallowed the fasting pill like she was swallowing medicine. With half a fasting pill padding her stomach, it finally stopped singing the divine tune of “gugugu”.

On his side, Song Shuhang took out his phone and opened the chat software window, wanting to log onto Nine Provinces Number One Group to take a look—it was about time Senior Su Clan’s Seven got here, just in time for him to send a text for help.

But, once it opened, he discovered that the phone had no signal.

“Huh? Why’s there no signal?” Song Shuhang asked doubtfully.

“Of course there’s no signal. If all messages aren’t blocked it’s easy to be discovered. If so, then how can this still be a hidden chamber?” Sixteen answered.

At the same time, she peeked at the screen of Song Shuhang’s phone, and saw a familiar chat group in Song Shuhang’s list of groups. She then said in surprise, “Nine Provinces Number One Group?”

“Huh? You don’t know? You haven’t been paying attention to the group?” Song Shuhang asked her in turn.

“I ran away from home… logging onto the chat software would expose my location. I didn’t even bring out my phone, otherwise, Seven would come find me, and it’ll be troublesome.” Sixteen said with an expression as if it was to be expected.

No, even if you don’t go online, Seven can still find you. Song Shuhang roasted her inwardly. Right now, Senior Seven is probably already on the way to Jiangnan area.

Because there was no signal, Song Shuhang quietly turned off his phone. He didn’t plan on telling Sixteen that Senior Su Clan’s Seven was already on the way to Jiangnan area to search for her; it was safer that Sixteen be brought home as soon as possible.

“You guessed my identity, right? Did Seven release information and ask everyone to help find me?” Sixteen suddenly asked. The man in front of her was a new member of Nine Provinces Number One Group, so it was very plausible that he already guessed her identity.

“…” Song Shuhang’s face froze, he was in the middle of considering whether or not he should tell a white lie to cover up this matter.

“Don’t deny it, you’re definitely not suited to lie. Your expression already told me the answer.” Sixteen sighed.

“…” [Lady, you’re not Zhao Yaya, so don’t just casually get the answer from reading my expression! That’s too rude, it’s like I’ve got not privacy at all!]

“Will you tell Seven about me being here?” Sixteen hugged her knees with both hands and asked quietly.

“…” [Probably?]

“A rottenly good guy like you will definitely tell Seven.” Sixteen answered the question herself.

[You’ve said all that I was going to say, what else can I say?]

Suddenly, it was silent between the two.

A long while of speechlessness.

At last, Song Shuhang broke the silence, and asked, “Why did you run from Su Clan? Can’t your injuries be better treated at Su Clan’s residence?”

He remembered that when she failed to pass the tribulation, Su Clan’s Seven mentioned in the group that Sixteen only sustained minor injuries, and would be able to recover once they returned to Su Clan’s headquarters. If that was the case, why did Sixteen run away? And why did she visit the hospital often to get painkiller injections?

“Because, I’m about to die… in roughly twenty days or so, I’ll die.” Sixteen calmly talked about it as she hugged her knees tighter, “The various methods recorded in Su Clan’s headquarters can’t heal my injuries, and Seven has no other methods. My injuries aren’t only related to the heavenly tribulation, but also related to the techniques I cultivate, which I erred at in some way; the heavenly tribulation only drew out my concealed injuries.

Let’s not talk about this, I dislike this topic.” Sixteen suddenly stopped her narration and looked at Shuhang, “My name you may already know, I’m called Su Clan’s Sixteen. It’s my name and my dao name. You? You still haven’t introduced yourself to me.”

“Song Shuhang.”

“And your Dao name?” Sixteen inquired.

“Dao name… temporarily without one. I’ll think of one in the next few days?” Song Shuhang exclaimed. This was something he should prioritize more, otherwise when all the seniors identified ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ as his Dao name, it’d be difficult to correct the seniors.

“You’ll think of one yourself? Which senior in the group do you cultivate under? Your teacher didn’t bestow you a Dao name?” Sixteen asked doubtfully. Any formally accepted disciple would be granted a Dao name.

Not to mention, as a disciple that was introduced to Nine Provinces Number One Group, he had to be a disciple that at least one senior in the group appreciated, so why wouldn’t he have a Dao name?

“Well, the process of how I joined Nine Provinces Number One Group is a bit… coincidental.” Song Shuhang scratched his head, then started to narrate the process of how he joined Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Song Shuhang calmly narrated, and Sixteen hugged her knees while listening quietly.

“More or less that’s how it was.” Song Shuhang shrugged and said.

“You… chose to be a cultivator?” Sixteen lifted her head slightly to look at Song Shuhang, “Don’t you know about the dangers of becoming a cultivator? Just like… the heavenly tribulation I encountered, and the many many countless dangers!”

“I know, before I chose to be a cultivator, I already knew about your heavenly tribulation; I even saw with my own eyes the clouds of lightning tribulation.” Song Shuhang replied indifferently.

“Then why did you still choose to become a cultivator?” Sixteen’s eyes opened wide, staring closely at Song Shuhang.

“Why?” Song Shuhang pondered, and then replied, “Perhaps, it’s because I’m unwilling to spend my whole life an ordinary man.

Before becoming a cultivator, the only thing in the world that could make me feel delighted was doing my best to help others in need. If I didn’t enter Nine Provinces Number One Group, I probably would’ve lived an ordinary life like a normal person. Yet, that is not the life I want… I don’t have any ambitions, but I do crave an exciting and magnificent life. Even if there are scary lighting tribulations, or calamities brought on by many evil cultivators, I will never regret my choice.”

Song Shuhang found that he couldn’t find the proper words to describe how he first felt. He actually only had one idea he wanted to express—the path of cultivation was the choice he’d never regret!

Sixteen blinked. “I suddenly discovered that when you’re impassioned, you look very awkward, but… it’s very interesting. Get ready, we’re going out.”

The throbbing pain from her internal injuries subsided. Now, her body has accumulated some true qi—enough to deal with the uncle from Immortal Farming Sect!
