“You little s.h.i.+t!” The three-eyed youth didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’ve been tricking me like this. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Last time, he had lured the clone of the ruler of the Fat Ball into his small world and used it as a wager. This time, he took out a living Berserk Ancient G.o.d.
“Conscience? Oh right, Senior Three-Eyed, do you want it?” Song Shuhang skillfully stretched out his hand and patted his chest. Then, his primordial spirit synchronized with his main body, which was burning in the Heavenly Emperor’s world, and skillfully took out a gla.s.s heart from his chest. The heart was s.h.i.+ning like a piece of art.
The eyeball butler was speechless.
The three-eyed youth rubbed his temples and said resentfully, “Why are you so skilled?”
“I’m sorry. I’m used to taking it out.” Song Shuhang said awkwardly. When he was refining, he had dug out 66 lively hearts in one go, and as he dug, he had reflexively dug them out. When others asked him about his ‘heart’, he subconsciously wanted to dig out his heart.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, wanting to stuff the heart back into his main body’s chest. However, when he wanted to stuff it back, he found that a gla.s.s heart had grown out of his main body’s heart.
This was awkward.
Sometimes, the speed of regeneration was too fast, which was also annoying.
Now that the new gla.s.s heart had grown out, the gla.s.s heart in his hand, which was still warm, was homeless. It was very pitiful.
He felt that this situation was vaguely familiar.
“Can’t stuff it back?” The eyeball butler saw Song Shuhang’s hand holding the heart in a deadlock in the air, and guessed.
Song Shuhang nodded.
“As expected. Your rebirth speed is comparable to mine.” The eyeball butler praised. It was becoming more and more fond of Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song.
The three-eyed youth was speechless.
When Zither Master Fengyi heard this, she suddenly became a little worried. After the masked fellow daoist dug out his heart, a new one grew out, so there was no place for the old one. What about her?
Her main body was dead, but it didn’t seem like she was completely dead. According to the masked fellow daoist’s guess, her main body was most likely a ‘death escape’. She used death to escape from the path of the ancient Heavenly City and obtain freedom.
Then when her main body was resurrected… Would it grow a new claw?
If it really grew new claws, what would happen to her position?
She was of a divine bloodline, a divine bird with only one claw. If it had two claws, wouldn’t it be an illegitimate bloodline?
At that time, wouldn’t his main body no longer need her claw?
The more she thought of this, the more her claws felt that something was wrong.
“What happened to Fairy Fengyi?” Song Shuhang felt Zither Mistress Fengyi’s claws getting tighter and tighter on his shoulder, so he asked in puzzlement.
“It’s okay. Let me have some peace and quiet…I might need to spend more time alone.” Zither Master Fengyi tried her best to remain calm and not let others see her panic.
“Alright, then continue to be quiet.” Song Shuhang nodded.
In any case, Zither Master Fengyi’s ‘quietness’ was as unreliable as his meditation. After a while, there would be something he needed to meddle in, and after he was done, he would continue to ‘quiet’.
In short, being quiet did not affect his life.
The three-eyed youth opposite him looked at the gla.s.s heart in Song Shuhang’s hand, and then at the ‘ancient G.o.d’ that Song Shuhang had given him as a gift. He seemed to be deep in thought.
“Your gla.s.s heart is useless now, right?” The three-eyed youth asked.
“It’s not that it’s useless, at least it’s a good material for refining.” Song Shuhang tried his best to protect the ‘dignity’ of his heart. He couldn’t let the value of the heart he had dug out drop.
“Then give it to me. You said you would give it to me just now.” The three-eyed youth stretched out his hand.
“Senior, please treat it well.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and solemnly handed the ‘gla.s.s heart’ to Senior Three-Eyed Young Master. “Senior, I took out my heart and gave it to you.”
“Shut up if you don’t know how to speak properly!” Senior Three-Eyed reprimanded. What kind of nonsense was he talking about, making it seem as if there was an affair between him and Song Shuhang?
“Old Master, this is his sincerity. You can’t mistreat him.” On the side, Eyeball’s butler was still very tactless and wanted to seek benefits for Tyrannical Song.
Tyrannical Song even took out his heart, and Old Master didn’t return the favor?
“I do have to return the favor to Shuhang,” the three-eyed teenager said with a nod.
“Don’t be polite. Senior, don’t be polite with me! If you’re being polite to me now, you’re looking down on me, Xiao Hang!” Song Shuhang waved his hand repeatedly. How could he dare to ask for a return gift at this time? What if Senior Three-Eyed gifted the ‘Ancient G.o.d’ back after he had taken out all the treasures?
On her shoulder, Zither Master Fengyi’s claws suddenly stopped. Wasn’t the relations.h.i.+p between the masked fellow daoist Shuhang and the ruler of the Netherworld too good?
Ever since she had come into contact with the ruler of the Netherworld, the most terrifying existence in the world, her impression of him had changed drastically.
Were the rulers of the Netherworld all so amiable? So easy to get along with?
Did the world change, or was my knowledge outdated and abandoned by the times?
“I still need to return the favor. You don’t have to be polite with me.” The three-eyed youth said. As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and grabbed the two tentacles of the eyeball butler.
The hand raised and the knife fell…
As the eyeball housekeeper screamed in pain, the three-eyed teenager cut off two living tentacles and handed them to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Heavens, how am I supposed to accept this gift?
No matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that Senior Three-Eyed would give him such a gift.
Zither Master Fengyi’s claws were also dumbstruck.
“Master, next time when you cut my tentacles, remind me first. It hurts.” Eyeball’s old butler complained.
From its tone, it seemed like this wasn’t the first time its tentacles were cut off?
Moreover…
It had said before that its rebirth ability was comparable to Song Shuhang’s.
Sure enough, while it was talking, its severed tentacle had already regrown.
Zither Master Fengyi’s claws were speechless.
She really didn’t know what to say. One was instinctively digging out her heart, and the other was chopping off her hands. In this era, was it popular for everyone to give away their own organs?
“These two tentacles are also precious artifacts. Your disciple should be refining the same magic tool as you, right? He will use these two tentacles.” The three-eyed senior youth slowly said.
Among the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts ‘Combined Magical Treasure, there was a magical treasure called the Cuttlefish Tyrant Dual Blades. If Song Shuhang’s disciple had a saber refiner, he could use these two tentacles to refine his saber.
“Shuhang, the saber that I forged with my tentacles is at least at Eighth-Stage. It won’t be bad. You can rest a.s.sured,” the eyeball butler gave a thumbs up and said proudly.
Its pride was so tangible that even Zither Master Fengyi could clearly feel it.
‘Butler, what’s there to be proud of?!’
On the side, the three-eyed youth held Song Shuhang’s heart, and the corners of his mouth rose. He was prepared to seal the ancient G.o.d into this heart.
