2069 Senior, I’m done closing up

　　To be honest, Song Shuhang would not have been that surprised if the mirage dragon pearl assumed the appearance of the mirage dragon leader or Little Senior White.

　　However, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Song Shuhang was puzzled.

　　He began to wonder if he had a crush on the owner of the bookstore. Otherwise, why would she appear in his small dantian?

　　Yet, Song Shuhang was certain that he had never thought of her that way.

　　“Why did the mirage dragon leader’s dragon pearl take on the appearance of the bookstore’s owner?” Song Shuhang asked himself. “Hey, let’s negotiate. Can you change your appearance?”

　　How could he comfortably merge with the dragon pearl in this kind of situation?

　　It felt like he was taking advantage of the proprietress by going through with this.

　　At least change to a look that I won’t feel pressured by when I merge with it!

　　As if sensing Song Shuhang’s thoughts, the mirage dragon pearl began to change.

　　In the next moment, the proprietress in front of him disappeared.

　　Her figure began to dissipate, eventually turning into a dragon claw.

　　It was the claw of the mirage dragon leader.

　　As this dragon pearl was from a mirage dragon, it could innately assume numerous forms. Shuhang was rather curious as to what laws or principles it followed when changing forms.

　　Anyway, Shuhang let out a breath of relief after the dragon pearl transformed into a claw.

　　He reached out and grabbed it, giving it a solemn handshake filled with a ceremonial feel.

　　Yet, for some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with this dragon claw.

　　In the next moment, the ultra-buffed seven Life Wheels rushed into the second small dantian.

　　“Go.” Song Shuhang gave them a simple order.

　　The seven Life Wheels were filled with vigor as they bravely rushed forward.

　　The barriers of the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Heavenly Layer were broken one after the other.

　　Compared to the first dantian, the time the wheels took to clear the barriers in the second dantian was a whole two breaths shorter.

　　Practice makes perfect. The ancients did not deceive me!

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　“Let’s move on to the next stop!” After giving the mirage dragon leader’s claw a handshake, Shuhang rushed forward without looking back.

　　Tonight was destined to be a night of bloodshed!

　　At the third stop was Sister White Dragon’s dragon pearl.

　　This stop was relatively normal, and there was nothing strange about it. Sister White Dragon’s dragon pearl had taken the form of a Little White Dragon, and Song Shuhang only had to shake her hand solemnly and be done with it.

　　At the same time that they shook hands, the seven Life Wheels arrived, and rivers of blood flowed in the third small dantian. The barriers of the heavenly layers were shredded one after the other, and their torn corpses were left on the ground.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　“Go!” Song Shuhang waved his hand and headed straight to the fourth stop.

　　At this stop was the dragon pearl that Senior White Two gave him.

　　This dragon pearl belonged to a demodragon, so it should take on the form of one.

　　Yet, when Song Shuhang’s mental energy wrapped around the demodragon’s dragon pearl, it was a cocoon that appeared before his eyes.

　　The demodragon that he had been expecting did not appear.

　　Song Shuhang was slightly taken aback.

　　His mental energy took the shape of a hand and touched the cocoon.

　　The fluctuations from the cocoon seemed to belong to Senior White Two.

　　“Wasn’t this dragon pearl from a demodragon? If not, then where did this dragon pearl come from? Or could it be that the image was affected by my will?” Song Shuhang found himself at a loss.

　　However, the time at his disposal was limited.

　　The seven Life Wheel began their slaughter once again.

　　Song Shuhang only needed to issue a command, and the seven Life Wheels instantly enter a frenzied state, forcing their way through the barriers with increasing efficiency.

　　Song Shuhang’s palm left the cocoon, and a bold guess appeared in his mind. Is this dragon pearl Senior White Two’s dragon pearl?

　　When I see Senior White Two again, should I consider seeking some guidance on this matter?

　　“Forget it. I shouldn’t be thinking about that right now. Let’s go to the next stop.” Song Shuhang pushed the thought to the back of his mind and headed straight to the fifth stop.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　The dragon pearl at the fifth stop was the dragon pearl of Striped Dragon Two’s son.

　　I wonder what Striped Dragon Two’s son looks like. Is he also a big shot? What’s his actual identity?

　　Song Shuhang approached this dragon pearl curiously.

　　In the next moment, several figures appeared in the world seen through his mental energy.

　　There was an illusory figure wielding the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, an illusory figure holding a lotus and smiling, and a figure dancing with a fan.

　　The three figures gathered together and combined to form Fairy Cheng Lin.

　　“It’s not a male dragon but Fairy Cheng Lin instead?” Song Shuhang felt that Fairy Cheng Lin was in no way a male dragon.

　　Whether it was the person wielding the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, holding a lotus flower, or dancing with a fan, none of them really matched Fairy Cheng Lin.

　　It felt more like Striped Dragon Two was concealing the truth, and it was making use of Fairy Cheng Lin’s appearance to do so.

　　It doesn’t matter.

　　If I am to know, there will come a time when I will know.

　　Moreover, I’ll feel less pressure while dealing with Fairy Cheng Lin.

　　Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and gave “Fairy Cheng Lin” a high five.

　　After all, he was quite familiar with the “already-dead” Fairy Cheng Lin.

　　After the two high-fived, the fusion was complete.

　　The seven Life Wheels came over again, turning Song Shuhang’s fifth dantian into a battlefield.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　At the sixth and seventh stops, where the dragon pearls of the divine dragon and Fairy Kunna were located, everything proceeded smoothly.

　　Song Shuhang shook hands with the claw of the divine dragon and high-fived Fairy Kunna to complete the ceremony.

　　After the seven Life Wheels unleashed a final onslaught, the Tenth Heavenly Layer of the seventh and final small dantian was shattered.

　　The seven Life Wheels began resonating with one another, and the sound of ocean waves spread from Song Shuhang’s cocoon.

　　Illusory golden lotuses and dragons appeared around the cocoon, which was then dyed a golden color.

　　The divine dragon wore a calm expression, but it was actually dumbstruck.

　　What’s going on?

　　I’ve never heard of such a huge commotion taking place during the process of nurturing a dragon pearl. There’s even the sound of ocean waves and a natural visual phenomenon.

　　What in the world is Profound Sage Tyrannical Song doing?

　　Sixteen said, “Shuhang’s aura is getting stronger.”

　　Sister White Dragon scratched her chin as she said, “This is the sensation caused by the Tenth Heavenly Layers getting breached, isn’t it?”

　　Moreover, it did not happen once but a whole seven times.

　　Did Shuhang breach the Tenth Heavenly Layer in each of his seven small dantians?

　　Senior White reached out to touch one of the golden lotuses, but when he did so, the golden lotus disappeared.

　　Unfortunately, it seems that I can’t eat them. Senior White thought to himself, feeling rather regretful.

　　“Fwoo~”

　　The cocoon burst open, and a large number of green branches that belonged to Song Shuhang’s wooden body extended out of it, quickly spreading in all directions.

　　Having been affected by Shuhang’s rise in strength, the wooden body flourished once again.

　　The branches germinated, with green leaves, red flowers, and fresh fruits appearing on them.

　　“Senior, I’m done closing up.” Song Shuhang spoke with no change in expression whatsoever. “What do I do next?”
