Su Clanâs Sixteen Two, who was on Song Shuhangâs arm, suddenly said, âSo this is the person who made you decide to live on?â
Her soft and boneless body slowly floated up until her eyes were level with Song Shuhangâs.
As she stayed there, suspended in front of him, Song Shuhang could feel her breath against his face.
Su Clanâs Sixteen said, âIâve always wanted to live⊠Itâs just that I wanted to lay low for a period of time. It really isnât what youâre thinking.â
Sixteen Two stared firmly at Song Shuhang as if trying to etch his image into her mind.
After a couple of breaths of timeâŠ
Song Shuhang saw Sixteen Twoâs pupils begin to dilate, and her eyes lost focus.
Did she go blind?
I didnât do anything!
âItâs really great that I get to see you in the end,â Sixteen Two said softly. She then reached out and caressed Song Shuhangâs cheek.
Song Shuhang did not know how to respond to her sudden tenderness.
âŠAfter all, this was Sixteen Two, not Su Clanâs Sixteen. Although the two of them looked the same, they were still different.
Moreover, Su Clanâs Sixteen was standing right across him with her life-bound treasured saber in hand.
She was clearly showing him her stance on the matter.
Song Shuhang felt that he could absolutely not respond to Sixteen Twoâs tenderness.
Sixteen Two continued softly, âWith this, when I see you next time, I can kill you without hesitationâŠâ
ââŠâ Song Shuhang.
What did I do wrong?
Canât you give me a chance to repent?
After Su Clanâs Sixteen Two finished speaking, she died.
Her figure fell, and she lay lifelessly in Song Shuhangâs arms.
She died?
The whole process was like a dream. The plot jumped from one to the other without any warning.
Song Shuhang looked at Su Clanâs Sixteen with a confused expression.
Su Clanâs Sixteen stretched out her hand, caught the baseball cap that fell off when she jumped off the Divine Lobsterâs Chariot, and wore it again to cover up her dragon horns.
âI wanted to keep you away as much as possible, but I didnât think that you would end up seeing something like this.â Su Clanâs Sixteen sighed.
Listening to her tone⊠It seemed like this wasnât the first time that this had happened?
And adding Elder Sister White Dragonâs previous response, it seemed that Sixteen had already met Sixteen Two in the past?
âItâs fine. Everyone has their own little secrets. No matter how well hidden these little secrets are, they will come to light one day. The only difference is when,â Song Shuhang comforted her. âAnyway, since I would have found out about this sooner or later, it doesnât make much of a difference that I found out about it earlier. Rest assured, I have an especially big heart, and I accept things very well.â
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword couldnât help but say, âAfter all, heâs a man who has died so many times. With all that, it isnât strange that he can see past a lot of things.â
The virtuous lamia said, âI really want to live another five- hundred-years-â.
Song Shuhang instinctively used two instances of the (Saber-Nurturing Technique), one for Scarlet Heaven Sword and one for the virtuous lamia.
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said sweetly, âAaaah- So refreshing-â.
As for the virtuous lamia, she spat out her tongue, and immediately returned to his body.
Su Clanâs Sixteen did not know whether to laugh or cry, and she could no longer maintain her originally stoic and serious face.
Su Clanâs Sixteen said, âActually, it isnât really a secret. Itâs just that⊠Even if itâs me, I always try to show you my good side. There are things that I donât want you to see.â
Song Shuhangâs heart warmed when he heard this. He held Sixteen Two with one hand, and then reached out to take the baseball cap, which he then placed over her head. âWell then, I didnât see anything here today.â
Seeing this, Sixteenâs heavy mood disappeared.
Elder Sister White Dragon returned behind Sixteen. âStop trying to be funny, Shuhang. Hand Sixteen Two over to me.â
Song Shuhang quickly handed Sixteen Two over.
Elder Sister White Dragon then said to Su Clanâs Sixteen, âIâll assist you.â
Su Clanâs Sixteen nodded slightly.
In the next moment, a space similar to an illusory reality unfolded behind her. It was a space that seemed to hover between reality and illusion. It seemed as if some kind of fusion between the Inner World and an illusory reality.
In this space, one could see a turbulent galaxy.
When Song Shuhang saw this space, he subconsciously associated it with the Spirit Riverâs Su Clan.
Is this some means of the Spirit Riverâs Su Clan?
Sixteen stretched out her hand, and a crystal coffin emerged from this turbulent galaxy.
Elder Sister White Dragon swung her tail, and opened the crystal coffin.
Sixteen took Sixteen Twoâs body, and carefully placed her inside the crystal coffin.
Elder Sister White Dragon then took the crystal coffin, and sent it back into the special space.
Afterward, the illusory-yet-real galaxy disappeared from sight.
Su Clanâs Sixteen began to pant violently, and the spiritual energy in her body was being consumed voraciously.
But after a while, her spiritual energy began to slowly recover.
More importantly, the vitality in her body became even richer than it had originally been.
Even her strength seemed to have improved a bit.
Song Shuhang asked, âIs this an aftereffect of the Fourth Stage heavenly tribulation?â
He put together the words that Sixteen Two had said, the starry space that had appeared behind Sixteen, and the vitality that had just emerged in Sixteenâs body, and made a guess.
Back then, Sixteen had sustained severe injuries from her heavenly tribulation. Not only had she sustained physical injuries, but her soul had also suffered injuries from the heavenly tribulation.
When Song Shuhang had first met her, Sixteen, herself, believed that she had already been beyond saving.
In the end, Seven took her back to the Spirit Riverâs Su Clan, obtained a skeletal dragonâs withered vine from Song Shuhang, and allowed Sixteen to make a last-ditch effort.
Or⊠was this Elder Sister White Dragonâs doing?
âMm-hm.â Su Clanâs Sixteen nodded, and said, âThe last resort was a resurrection technique that could only be used after death, and itâs also a kind of trial. In addition, this is a trial that only the numerical members of the Su Clan can undergo.â
âThese Sixteen Twos are the content of the trial?â Song Shuhang asked. âYou have to defeat them and place them inside the crystal coffin? And then, more will keep coming?â
âYouâre about there,â said Su Clanâs Sixteenthe content of the trial was something that only the members of the Spirit Riverâs Su Clan could know. She could not tell him much right now.
âOutsiders canât intervene?â Song Shuhang said curiously. Couldnât I have just beat the Sixteen Two half to death and allowed Sixteen to take the last hit?
Sixteen replied softly, âThe effect of the trial would be better if outsiders do not intervene.â
âThatâs good.â Song Shuhang let out a breath of relief.
This specific trial had to be a secret of the Spirit Riverâs Su Clan, and he would probably only be making things inconvenient and troublesome for Sixteen if he were to ask more. However, since outsiders could not intervene, then there was quite a lot of room to work with. In this way, at least there was no need to worry about Sixteen failing the trial or meeting with an accident.
âDonât worry, even if I fail, âIâ will not disappear.â Sixteen saw through Song Shuhangâs worries at a glance and comforted him.
