Chapter 1074: Then, you will be disappointed
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
What Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said was right. Currently, the most important question was whether or not Fairy Dongfang Six could stop the car!
“Will she be able to stop the car?” Everyone was looking forward to finding out the answer.
During this period of time, several fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had arrived. As such, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator, Scholar Drunken Moan, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, and True Monarch Eternal Fire had all entered Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s ‘illusory reality––the ancient tomb world.
While waiting for the other fellow daoists, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had left his ‘illusory reality’ in an open state. Therefore, as long as they entered Medicine Master’s building, they would be sent into the ancient tomb world’s plaza.
Now then, could she stop the car?!
Seeing Fairy Dongfang Six’s car getting closer and closer to the two stone columns, Song Shuhang felt nervous.
That’s not right! What’s the point of using her foot as a brake? Even if Fairy Dongfang Six were able to use this method to stop the car… would it mean anything?
Would she use this braking method even in the world outside?
Ordinary drivers would s.h.i.+et their pants if they were to see such a scene.
Just think about it: you are driving your car when the door of the vehicle in the front suddenly opens, with a long and beautiful leg stretching out and stomping on the ground to stop the car.
Such a scene was simply too shocking.
As such, whether or not Fairy Dongfang Six was able to stop the car, there was no point in it.
After two breaths’ time…
Fairy Dongfang Six was able to bring the car to a stop.
Her car was able to stop just a few centimeters away from the two columns.
…Still, the car had stopped!
Fairy Dongfang Six was half hanging from the driver’s seat. After stopping the car with her foot, she still remembered to switch the gears to neutral and turn off the engine.
The car had come to a complete stop.
Fairy Dongfang Six climbed back up onto the driver’s seat.
Then, like an injured little animal, she curled up on her seat, hugged her knees, and said nothing.
Fairy Lychee said, “What’s the matter with Little Six?”
True Monarch Yellow Mountain said, “Looks like she’s in a really bad mood… Anyway, what happened? Why were you all watching Dongfang Six driving?”
Several of them came late and didn’t know why the event had even taken place.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer simply recounted the matters to True Monarch Yellow Mountain and the others, and then concluded by saying, “It seems that the result of the experiment wasn’t good. Fairy Dongfang Six seems to be very dejected.”
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple asked, “Is it that Fairy Dongfang Six got hurt when she used her foot to stop the car?”
Fairy Dongfang Six was still in the crouching posture; her eyes were blank as she sat in the driver’s seat, motionless and speechless.
Did she really get hurt?
True Monarch Yellow Mountain said, “Who’s going to go down to comfort Fairy Dongfang Six?”
Fairy Lychee said, “I’ll go. Little friend Shuhang, you come with me as well.
“Ah?” Song Shuhang pointed at himself. “I have to come as well?”
“That ‘absolute command’ thing is your ability. You can’t be absent now that we have to comfort her.”
After Fairy Lychee said that, she jumped and went to Fairy Dongfang Six’s car.
Song Shuhang went along with her.

“Hey, Little Six, are you fine?” Fairy Lychee knocked on the car’s gla.s.s.
Fairy Dongfang Six continued to hug her knees as she softly replied, “Mm-hm.”
Fairy Lychee asked, “You aren’t hurt, are you?”
Fairy Dongfang Six replied, “Nope, but my shoes were worn down.”
Fairy Lychee responded, “Great, at least you aren’t hurt. Then, what are you upset about? Care to tell me?”
“I’m not upset. I’m just thinking about something… Is there really no hope for me?” Fairy Dongfang Six raised her head. “So, I was thinking… should I just give up on driving?”
Give up on driving?!
All the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group thought, Of course you should!
The fellow daoists became a little excited when they heard her say that—after the ‘hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion’ was officially recognized as a new compet.i.tion, it would be great news for every cultivator if Fairy Dongfang Six gave up on driving.
“From your expressions, I already know you all want me to give up on driving.” Fairy Dongfang Six curled up once again.
She was even more hurt.
Fairy Lychee pushed Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang: “?”
“Find a way to comfort Little Six,” Fairy Lychee said via secret sound transmission.
What? Comfort Fairy Dongfang Six? How am I going to do that? The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched.
“Hey, little friend Shuhang, do you also think that there’s no hope for me?” Fairy Dongfang Six raised her head and looked at Song Shuhang.
“Cough… I don’t think this is the case,” Song Shuhang said.
…When he said that, Shuhang was completely focused on ‘comforting Fairy Dongfang Six’, and so he didn’t think about what he was saying at all.
“Really? Is there really hope for me?” Fairy Dongfang Six’s eyes brightened up.
“Hm… whether it be in terms of cultivation, or in terms of science, there are ways by which we can solve your problem with cars,” Song Shuhang said, his brain suddenly going on overdrive.
Fairy Lychee, who was at the side, asked curiously, “Really?”
“First of all, we can talk about technology. With the development of science and technology, there are now ‘smart self-driving cars’,” Song Shuhang slowly explained. “The main problem with Fairy Dongfang Six’s driving skills is that she isn’t able to stop the car. As such, if Fairy Dongfang Six could add an ‘automatic braking system’ to her car and enhance it through various means, the problem with her driving skills could be solved.”
“That makes sense,” Fairy Lychee said.
“However… such a method would take away most of the fun in driving. Moreover, it’s too restricting,” Fairy Dongfang Six said. This modification would change her car into a ‘self-driving car’, and it wouldn’t cure her symptoms. And so, if she were to use another car, she would still be the ‘kamikaze driver’ Dongfang Six.
“In that case, we can use a method from the cultivation world,” Song Shuhang said mysteriously. “Do you know about ‘systems’?”
Fairy Dongfang Six asked, “Computer system? Phone system? GPS system?”
“No, no, no, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the ‘system’ found in novels, which has been growing in popularity over the years. Even Senior White is interested in this kind of ‘system’, and he is planning to develop several of them. If Fairy Dongfang Six requires it, Senior White should be able to create a custom ‘G.o.dly driving system’ for you,” Song Shuhang said.
“There’s such a system?” Fairy Dongfang Six blinked her eyes.
Song Shuhang said, “With Senior White’s means, it should be possible to create one. So, Fairy Dongfang Six, you don’t have to be so dejected.”
Fairy Dongfang Six said, “So, I can still be saved?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Definitely.”
“Then, I can rest a.s.sured.” Fairy Dongfang Six continued to hug her knees.
“Are you still not getting out of the car?” Fairy Lychee asked.
“Wait a bit, I’ll change my clothes first. Just now, I used my foot to stop the car, and my shoe and clothes got damaged. I’m currently looking for some in my spatial magical treasure. You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll get change and return,” Fairy Dongfang Six said.
Fairy Lychee: “…”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Was it possible that she’d curled up into a ball not because she had lost hope but because she was looking for replacement clothes in her spatial magical treasure…?
❄️❄️❄️
Around 6:30 PM.
Nearly all the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had arrived.
“Seniors, do you want to eat? s.h.i.+ said that she’s just finished cooking the meal. For those who want to have dinner, you can go to the dining area,” Song Shuhang asked one last time.
However, most of the seniors declined the invitation. Currently, everyone’s mind was set on researching the guided missiles. Where would they find the mood to eat?
Only Fairy Dongfang Six, who wanted to see Little Cai, brought Fairy Lychee with her and went to the kitchen.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain asked, “Is everyone here?”
“Not yet, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon still isn’t here, and Senior Spirit b.u.t.terfly is on his way,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said lazily.
“Let’s wait a bit more. Send them a message telling them to hurry up,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain said.
“I’ll send it, I’m bored anyway,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
At this moment, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator came to Song Shuhang’s side, and said, “Little friend Shuhang, do you have that invitation to the ‘Immortal Feast’?”
“Of course.” Song Shuhang brought out the invitation from his magical bracelet––he couldn’t put the invitation inside his ‘size-reducing purse’ due to the card having Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s aura. If Lady Onion were to see it, she would definitely panic.
“It’s really a blank invitation to the Immortal Feast! I thought I wouldn’t make it for this year’s Immortal Feast, but now I’ll still get a chance to taste Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s cooking.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator stored away the treasured invitation card. Then, he opened his own cosmos bag, and brought out the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor.
“Hehe, this should be the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor that Northern River was talking about in the group.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer raised his eyes. “Sci-fi battle armor, huh? Little friend Shuhang, how about you try it on?”
The Black Iron G.o.dly Armor—a metal statue made of black iron. Besides the wearing process, the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor wasn’t cool, and was even a little discouraging.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “When I was coming here, I already erased my mark on the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor. As long as you pour some of your true yuan into the armor, you can start using it.”
Song Shuhang listened to the explanation and marked the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor.
“Suit up, little friend Shuhang!” Young Master Phoenix Slayer, who was squatting on the air conditioner, said while smiling. “I’ve even prepared a line you could say: “Black Iron G.o.dly Armor, transform!’
Song Shuhang: “…”
“Do you want me to make a video? There are still some fellow daoists that haven’t arrived. They should also be interested in how little friend Shuhang looks when wearing the Black Iron G.o.dly Armor.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer laughed.
“Whatever you like. But Senior Phoenix Slayer… if you want to see a joke, then you will be disappointed.” Song Shuhang revealed a slight smile.
