Chapter 1859 Should I stab him while he’s eating?

　　It was around three o’clock in the afternoon, but the entire small island had suddenly fallen into darkness. The emergency lights on Heavenly Field Island immediately turned on… But just as quickly as they turned on, they were swallowed by the darkness, and there was no light yet again.

　　Even the light of virtue on Song Shuhang’s body had been suppressed, and radiated much less light.

　　This darkness was clearly not caused by the descent of night, but rather a dark substance that shrouded the entire area.

　　Song Shuhang gently raised his right hand, and brought the kitchen knife up high. After preparing himself mentally, he prepared to slash at the sky with his ‘merciful’ saber intent.

　　But at this moment, the voice from the void sounded once again. “Apologies, little Fellow Daoist. Please don’t feel nervous. I haven’t left the Shadow Realm for a long time, so I forgot to control my body just now. Please wait a moment.”

　　Afterward, the ‘darkness’ that enveloped Heavenly Field Island instantly shrunk by half.

　　Now, half of Heavenly Field Island was in a state of light, while the other half was in a state of eerie darkness.

　　An unexpected visitor had come, and judging from the way they were speaking, it appeared that they had not come bearing ill will. “This scene is like those epic shows of light versus darkness at the end of a blockbuster.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer lay on Thrice Reckless’ head, and then stretched out his little tongue to lick the back of his paw.

　　On Thrice Reckless’ monkey face, there was a vivid expression of pain… It was as if he were experiencing a nightmare. Regardless of who it was who was sleeping, if someone were to step or press on their head with a heavy object, they would likely experience nightmares.

　　Fairy Lychee took out her mobile phone. She stood at the junction between the ‘light’ and ‘darkness’ before skillfully assuming a beautiful pose and taking a few selfies. With her currently hazy eyes, she looked a lot more charming than usual. Song Shuhang looked at the dark half of Heavenly Field Island, and he vaguely sensed that there were spatial fluctuations in that half. More specifically, a spatial gate was open in it. Could it be that the darkness covering the island was the ‘body’ of the owner of that voice? Moreover, it seemed like that existence’s body had not even completely come out of the spatial gate. At this moment, a mature voice sounded. “Fellow Daoist, you’re in too much of a rush.”

　　At the same time, another spatial opened in the air, and a man wrapped in a sheet stepped out. Fairy Almighty Seller hurried to greet this man, and stood alongside him.

　　“Senior Almighty Merchant?” Song Shuhang felt a cordial feeling when he saw the man.

　　He had a particularly strong impression of the Almighty Merchant. In Song Shuhang’s heart, the friendship value between the Almighty Merchant and him was just slightly lower than the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group’s.

　　The Almighty Merchant glanced at Song Shuhang, nodding and smiling. He had already decided that he was going to give Song Shuhang another chance, so he temporarily removed the other party from his blacklist.

　　And since Song Shuhang was no longer on his blacklist, when faced with him, he would naturally give him the most appropriate smile for when facing a customer.

　　Do you think that you can use something like spirit stones to buy the smile of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender or even an Immortal?

　　The answer is yes! Absolutely!

　　And the price is much lower than you can imagine!

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Senior, is this dark big shot your friend?”

　　The dark big shot said, “Little friend, you can call me Ruler of Shadows.”

　　“The title of ‘ruler’ makes the other party sound like a boss who’s meant to be taken down in a game.” Soft Feather held up Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard. “Senior, you should consider changing your daoist name.”

　　“I haven’t been in touch with the other worlds in the universe for quite a long time, so I don’t really understand what you mean, little fairy maiden. However, I do sort of understand what you’re hinting at.” The Ruler of Shadows smiled. “A title is merely a distinction, and I honestly don’t mind how I’m addressed.”

　　“Then from today onward, Senior, you should be called Lord Shadow,” Soft Feather said. “Compared to Ruler of Shadows, it is more in line with our style.”

　　“Alright, then call me Lord Shadow today.” The Ruler of Shadows seemed rather fond of chatting

　　“I feel that Senior and I have a lot more topics in common all of a sudden,” Soft Feather said with a nod. Since the Ruler of Shadows said that he was fine with being called Lord Shadow today, this senior was likely planning on changing his daoist name tomorrow.

　　“Hahahaha.” Lord Shadow laughed happily.

　　“…” Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly.

　　He took a step forward and protected his two daughters. He felt that if his daughter continued to chat with the other party, she would run away with them, especially his black-skinned daughter, who appeared to be very much in line with the other party’s attributes.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Almighty Merchant, is there something you want to trade for with me?”

　　Previously, he had managed to sell the Saber Intent Condensing Lotus Seeds for a good price. In addition, he had exclusive rights over them, and having a monopoly on them made it easy to sell them.

　　The Almighty Merchant said calmly, “To be precise, the reason why I came this time is that Fellow Daoist Ruler of Shadows desired to make a deal with you, and I’ll be earning an intermediary fee.”

　　The Ruler of Shadows said, “Please call me Lord Shadow.”

　　“…” Almighty Merchant.

　　Fellow Daoist, you’re too quick in changing titles.

　　Lord Shadow then spoke to Song Shuhang. “I want to try your (Braised Heavenly Tribulation). As long as there isn’t any problem with your (Braised Heavenly Tribulation), then I’ll definitely pay you a sum you’ll be satisfied with.”

　　After thinking for a moment, Song Shuhang looked at Senior White’s clone, Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, and Senior Spirit Butterfly. “Seniors, are you fine with this?”

　　While most of the (Braised Heavenly Tribulation) was made by him, he did get some help from these seniors. Therefore, Song Shuhang wanted to consult them before confirming the transaction.

　　Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue smiled. “This (Braised Heavenly Tribulation) was made by you, and we only lent you a hand. Having said that, you can decide on this kind of thing yourself.”

　　“If you want to trade with them, then go ahead,” Senior White’s clone said. “Anyway, we can always make more.”

　　They still had a lot of raw ingredients, enough for a whole banquet for the Nine Provinces Number One Group and more.

　　“Thank you, Seniors.” Song Shuhang hoisted up the first completed (Braised Heavenly Tribulation) and said, “Then, please, Senior Shadow, try my Braised Heavenly Tribulation and tell me if it passes!”

　　In the half of Heavenly Field Island that was shrouded in darkness, a pair of small arms condensed, extending by 200 meters. They took the Braised Heavenly Tribulation from Song Shuhang and brought it back into the darkness.

　　The completed Braised Heavenly Tribulation was a plain red with a dark-golden aura around it, along with a rich, lasting fragrance that made people drool.

　　Soon after, a soft chewing sound came from the darkness.

　　Lord Shadow exclaimed, “Delicious! It’s just like how I remember it. When you take a bite, the first layer is fat but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. The second layer is chewy, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it gets. Then the third layer is extremely crunchy and easily breaks apart when you bite into it. Moreover, this is even more fragrant and tasty than the Braised Heavenly Tribulation I remember.”

　　“!!!” Song Shuhang.

　　Lord Shadow has eaten the Braised Heavenly Tribulation in the past? Doesn’t that mean that… he knows Demon Emperor Hezhi?

　　If so, should I stab him while he’s eating?
