Chapter 1904 A clear stance
What’s over?
Su Clan’s Sixteen Two, who was on Song Shuhang’s arm, suddenly said, “So this is the person who made you decide to live on?”
Her soft and boneless body slowly floated up until her eyes were level with Song Shuhang’s.
As she stayed there, suspended in front of him, Song Shuhang could feel her breath against his face.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “I’ve always wanted to live… It’s just that I wanted to lay low for a period of time. It really isn’t what you’re thinking.”
Sixteen Two stared firmly at Song Shuhang as if trying to etch his image into her mind.
After a couple of breaths of time…
Song Shuhang saw Sixteen Two’s pupils begin to dilate, and her eyes lost focus.
Did she go blind?
I didn’t do anything!
“It’s really great that I get to see you in the end,” Sixteen Two said softly. She then reached out and caressed Song Shuhang’s cheek.
Song Shuhang did not know how to respond to her sudden tenderness.
…After all, this was Sixteen Two, not Su Clan’s Sixteen. Although the two of them looked the same, they were still different.
Moreover, Su Clan’s 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 Two’s tenderness.
Sixteen Two continued softly, “With this, when I see you next time, I can kill you without hesitation…”
“…” Song Shuhang.
What did I do wrong?
Can’t you give me a chance to repent?
After Su Clan’s Sixteen Two finished speaking, she died.
Her figure fell, and she lay lifelessly in Song Shuhang’s 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 Clan’s Sixteen with a confused expression.
Su Clan’s Sixteen stretched out her hand, caught the baseball cap that fell off when she jumped off the Divine Lobster’s Chariot, and wore it again to cover up her dragon horns.
“I wanted to keep you away as much as possible, but I didn’t think that you would end up seeing something like this.” Su Clan’s Sixteen sighed.
Listening to her tone… It seemed like this wasn’t the first time that this had happened?
And adding Elder Sister White Dragon’s previous response, it seemed that Sixteen had already met Sixteen Two in the past?
“It’s 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,” Song Shuhang comforted her. “Anyway, since I would have found out about this sooner or later, it doesn’t make much of a difference that I found out about it earlier. Rest a.s.sured, I have an especially big heart, and I accept things very well.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword couldn’t help but say, “After all, he’s a man who has died so many times. With all that, it isn’t strange that he can see past a lot of things.”
The virtuous lamia said, “I really want to live another five- hundred-years-“.
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, “Aaaah- So refres.h.i.+ng-“.
As for the virtuous lamia, she spat out her tongue, and immediately returned to his body.
Su Clan’s Sixteen did not know whether to laugh or cry, and she could no longer maintain her originally stoic and serious face.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Actually, it isn’t really a secret. It’s just that… Even if it’s me, I always try to show you my good side. There are things that I don’t want you to see.”
Song Shuhang’s 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. “Well then, I didn’t see anything here today.”
Seeing this, Sixteen’s heavy mood disappeared.
Elder Sister White Dragon returned behind Sixteen. “Stop trying to be funny, Shuhang. Hand Sixteen Two over to me.”
Song Shuhang quickly handed Sixteen Two over.
Elder Sister White Dragon then said to Su Clan’s Sixteen, “I’ll a.s.sist you.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded slightly.
In the next moment, a s.p.a.ce similar to an illusory reality unfolded behind her. It was a s.p.a.ce 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 s.p.a.ce, one could see a turbulent galaxy.
When Song Shuhang saw this s.p.a.ce, he subconsciously a.s.sociated it with the Spirit River’s Su Clan.
Is this some means of the Spirit River’s 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 Two’s 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 s.p.a.ce.
Afterward, the illusory-yet-real galaxy disappeared from sight.
Su Clan’s 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, “Is this an aftereffect of the Fourth Stage heavenly tribulation?”
He put together the words that Sixteen Two had said, the starry s.p.a.ce that had appeared behind Sixteen, and the vitality that had just emerged in Sixteen’s 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 River’s Su Clan, obtained a skeletal dragon’s withered vine from Song Shuhang, and allowed Sixteen to make a last-ditch effort.
Or… was this Elder Sister White Dragon’s doing?
“Mm-hm.” Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded, and said, “The last resort was a resurrection technique that could only be used after death, and it’s also a kind of trial. In addition, this is a trial that only the numerical members of the Su Clan can undergo.”
“These Sixteen Twos are the content of the trial?” Song Shuhang asked. “You have to defeat them and place them inside the crystal coffin? And then, more will keep coming?”
“You’re about there,” said Su Clan’s Sixteenthe content of the trial was something that only the members of the Spirit River’s Su Clan could know. She could not tell him much right now.
“Outsiders can’t intervene?” Song Shuhang said curiously. Couldn’t I have just beat the Sixteen Two half to death and allowed Sixteen to take the last hit?
Sixteen replied softly, “The effect of the trial would be better if outsiders do not intervene.”
“That’s good.” Song Shuhang let out a breath of relief.
This specific trial had to be a secret of the Spirit River’s 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.
“Don’t worry, even if I fail, ‘I’ will not disappear.” Sixteen saw through Song Shuhang’s worries at a glance and comforted him.
