Chapter 2017: Have you ever truly loved someone?

Translator: G.o.dBrandy

Song Shuhang received a slap in the face before he could even finish speaking. Now, his heart felt stifled.

The heavenly tribulation had just ended, so he did not expect the inner demon inside Ding Gan’s body to act up at this time, increasing the difficulty of the tribulation again.

As for whether it was lucky or unlucky for Ding Gan to have been made to face an inner demon tribulation when he was transcending his Third Stage heavenly tribulation, it was honestly unclear.

“This is why you should not be too quick to speak sometimes, or you might just end up getting slapped in the face,” Pavilion Master Chu said earnestly. “Next time, make sure to think carefully about your words before speaking.”

Song Shuhang sighed softly. “I wanted to do it…”

But sometimes, I just can’t control myself.

Pavilion Master Chu: “…”

While they were discussing, the inner demon inside Ding Gan’s body transformed.

The cl.u.s.ter of tentacles wriggled, and some of them formed tight knots. The state of the wriggling tentacles was changing nonstop, until the cl.u.s.ter turned into an inner demon tribulation.

The main difference was that they had evolved from raw materials that only the Ruler of Shadows could enjoy into an ingredient that could be used in the ?Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet?.

Ding Gan’s body was covered in tentacles, and the scene looked like something straight out of a hentai.

Song Shuhang recalled that Pavilion Master Chu had once mentioned that Ding Gan’s inner demon was related to love.

Love was something that afflicted all intelligent creatures.

Even though the various large forces of the world of cultivation had psychological counseling cla.s.ses for their young disciples to strengthen their understanding of love, every time their disciples had inner demons, most of them were still related to love.

Love was something special. Even if one understood its nature, they could never control it completely.

Even if one was a cultivator who practiced the severing of emotions, they would become crazier than anyone else once they fell in love, and the consequences they’d suffer would be even more terrifying.

“By the way, how did Ding Gan end up getting entangled by a love-type inner demon?” Song Shuhang was quite curious.

Previously, Ding Gan a.s.sured them that he had never had any problems with his relations.h.i.+ps. He said that he had a daoist partner who loved him just as much as he loved her, and their relations.h.i.+p was very good.

Whether it was his family or his friends, he had no problems with them, so how did this twisted love come about?

Song Shuhang looked at Ding Gan’s two senior sisters and his master.

He had previously reminded Ding Gan to pay attention to this matter regarding his inner demon.

During this period of time, he should have at least recalled the reason behind the birth of his inner demon and taken some precautions, right?

In the distance, Ding Gan’s two senior sisters shook their heads.

After visiting Senior Tyrannical Song last time, Ding Gan had thought hard about this matter, but unfortunately, he still failed to figure out why the inner demon had been born.

Whether it was love, family, or friends.h.i.+p, he could not find any problems anywhere.

“Senior White, what do you think?” Song Shuhang turned his head and looked at Senior White.

Senior White shook his head. “I don’t know much about love, either.”

“Huh? Senior White, you don’t know much about love?” Song Shuhang exclaimed. “But back then, someone clearly said… Cough, cough, nevermind!”

.

Senior White looked puzzled.

“It’s nothing, Senior White. I think I might have a sore throat… Anyway, I remembered Senior White Crane just now,” Song Shuhang said.

He recalled Pavilion Master Chu’s advice, so he thought about the words he was about to say carefully. Luckily, he managed to slam on the brakes, saving his poor life by s.h.i.+fting the attention to Senior White Crane.

“White Crane doesn’t ‘love’ me. It simply wants to repay me,” Senior White explained. “If it really did love me, then its gender would have become fixed by now.”

Sixteen asked curiously, “Are you saying that Senior White Crane must find a partner before it can have a set gender?”

“Once it truly falls in love, its gender will become fixed. Determining its relations.h.i.+p with this person is of secondary importance,” Senior White said slowly. “This is how it works for those of White Crane’s race.”

“It really wasn’t easy for Senior White Crane’s race to survive until now.” Song Shuhang sighed.

“Then, Senior White, is there someone who you’ve truly loved?” asked Lady Onion all of a sudden.

She was very curious. What kind of person could make someone like Senior White fall in love?

How perfect was the person or creature that could grab Senior White’s attention?

Lady Onion asked the question that everyone wanted to ask but subconsciously did not dare to ask.

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword glanced at Lady Onion and sighed inwardly.?As expected of someone who has the potential to become a Wielder of the Heaven’s Will!

“Someone I’ve truly loved?” Senior White pinched his chin and fell into thought.

Song Shuhang, Sixteen, Sister White Dragon, Pavilion Master Chu, Senior Turtle, and even the virtuous lamia and Fairy Creation all p.r.i.c.ked up their ears, looking forward to hearing Senior White’s answer.

Even the inner demon tribulation entangling Ding Gan stopped moving and calmed down.

Similarly, Ding Gan’s senior sisters and master also p.r.i.c.ked up their ears.

In the entire world, there was only silence.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Senior White’s answer.

“Hmm…” White thought hard and finally said, “No, I don’t think so.”

This answer was expected, but it still made everyone feel a sense of regret.

Everyone had been looking forward to learning of someone who Senior White might have loved.

But at the same time, they felt afraid of knowing the answer to this question.

It was a very contradictory feeling.

Everyone took a deep breath and continued with what they were doing.

The tentacles covering Ding Gan’s body began wriggling again.

“Then Senior White, what kind of person do you think you might fall in love with? What qualities would you look for?” Lady Onion’s eyes lit up and she asked another question.

It appeared that Lady Onion was in quite the bold state today. Just as if possessed, she kept inquiring about this topic.

“I’ve never really given it much thought.” Senior White shook his head and continued, “At the very least, they can’t be someone I loathe. We have to be able to get along with each other. So far, the fellow daoists who I’ve been able to hit it off with are those of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. If you’re really wondering, then I’d say they have to at least reach the standard of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.”

Senior White’s answer felt rather vague.

It felt as if he was not really getting to the point, or as if he was avoiding answering the question.

“Anyway, enough about love. I can’t help you much in regards to this subject.” Senior White smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the top of Lady Onion’s head. “As far as I’m concerned, love is just something that can make a person happy.”

In the meantime, Ding Gan pressed his hands against the ground and slowly got up.

“Yes, senior, love makes people happy.” He roared with all his strength, “I feel very happy!”
