Chapter 1818: Even a divine weapon needs maintenance

　　Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

　　The demonic god pillar contained an extensive amount of knowledge regarding immortal chefs and immortal cooking—this wasn’t that strange when considering that Demon Emperor Hezhi was someone who had mastered seven kinds of chef hearts when he was at the Ninth Stage Realm.

　　Song Shuhang had only integrated the other party’s demonic chef heart, yet there were nearly 20 kinds of basic immortal cooking techniques that he had received from the inheritance pillar. Just from this, it could be seen how admirable Demon Emperor Hezhi’s attainments in the path of immortal cooking were!

　　Song Shuhang said, “Is this thing trying to fatten me up?”

　　One had to always keep in mind that biting off more than one could chew would lead to undesirable consequences. It was important to know one’s limits, and make the most of what was available.

　　As such, Song Shuhang classified the knowledge into different categories, and then selected the knowledge and experience related to ‘demonic cuisine’, prioritizing memorizing and learning it. As for the knowledge related to other cuisines, he decided to seal it up in his brain, saving it for later.

　　While he was studying his newly acquired knowledge, his hand would slip every once in a while and use the Saber-Nurturing Technique on the demonic god pillar, maintaining the demonic god pillar’s high-intensity output of knowledge.

　　The virtuous lamia, who was attached to Song Shuhang’s back, looked at him and the demonic god pillar strangely, falling into thought.

　　After a while, when Song Shuhang used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on the demonic god pillar again, she stretched out her hand, and patted Song Shuhang’s back.

　　Song Shuhang, who was focused on studying, asked without looking back, “What’s the matter?”

　　He was currently flying, receiving knowledge, classifying the knowledge, learning a portion of it, and applying the Saber-Nurturing Technique on the demonic god pillar at the same time. Besides that, he was also watching out for Yu Jiaojiao’s reply in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. In other words, he was very occupied at the moment.

　　The virtuous lamia didn’t reply, and instead patted him again.

　　Seeing this, Song Shuhang stopped studying and turned his head, looking at the fairy maiden.

　　Seeing him turn his head, a delighted expression surfaced on the virtuous lamia’s face, after which she stretched out her hand, pointing at herself.

　　“???” Song Shuhang.

　　The virtuous lamia pointed at Song Shuhang’s hand which was holding the demonic god pillar, and then pointed at herself.

　　Song Shuhang asked suspiciously, “You also want to be in my hand like the demonic god pillar?”

　　Fairy @#%×’s hobbies were getting weirder lately.

　　However, she would actually fit quite well in his hand. After all, she had a tail. As such, Song Shuhang could act like a snake charmer by holding the tip of her tail.

　　If she really wanted such a thing, then Song Shuhang did not mind cooperating with her.

　　At this moment, Fairy Creation next to him heard this and laughed. “Song~ Stupid~”

　　The virtuous lamia shook her head vigorously. She pointed at Song Shuhang, then at the demonic god pillar, and then at herself.

　　Song Shuhang finally understood. “Oooh, you also want to try the Saber-Nurturing Technique?”

　　The virtuous lamia nodded happily, and then moved her arm from Song Shuhang’s shoulder to in front of him.

　　“Honestly, it feels quite weird to use the Saber-Nurturing Technique on a fairy maiden,” said Song Shuhang. Moreover, the virtuous lamia was a part of his body. If he used the Saber-Nurturing Technique on her, to a certain extent, it could be seen as using it on himself.

　　But since Fairy @#%× seemed to really want it, he would naturally satisfy her desire.

　　It was just a slip of his hand anyway.

　　Song Shuhang reached out, pressed on the virtuous lamia’s forearm, and used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ without hesitation.

　　The brilliance of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ fell on the virtuous lamia, causing her little hand to tremble slightly as if she had been electrocuted.

　　After a while, the virtuous lamia opened her mouth slightly, exhaling in relief.

　　A satisfied expression was visible on her face, and she seemed to feel very comfortable.

　　“Mmhh.” She stretched her waist, and lay softly behind Song Shuhang before finally falling into his body as if he were a cloud.

　　Song Shuhang retracted his palm. “My ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ really is quite amazing.”

　　“Yaya?” Seeing the virtuous lamia look so comfortable, Fairy Creation grew curious, and she also attached herself to Song Shuhang before handing her arm to him.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Fairy Creation, you too?”

　　“Mm-hm.” Fairy Creation nodded vigorously.

　　“Your and Fairy Virtue’s hobbies seem to have been growing in sync recently.” Song Shuhang complained that Fairy Creation now spent more time with him than at home.

　　If this were to continue, Fairy Creation might eventually become a part of his family.

　　Anyhow, as Song Shuhang was not stingy, the brilliance of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ soon fell on Fairy Creation’s body.

　　Fairy Creation’s reaction was almost exactly the same as the virtuous lamia’s. She stretched out her body comfortably, lay on Song Shuhang’s back feebly, and then seemingly fused with his body.

　　Now that the virtuous lamia and Fairy Creation had both finished receiving their massage, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword naturally couldn’t be left out.

　　And so, Song Shuhang took Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword out of the Inner World.

　　“Is something wrong? Is there someone you want to beat up?” As soon as it was summoned, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s reaction was practically along the lines of ‘Which big shot did you provoke this time?’.

　　As soon as its words faded, Song Shuhang sent three consecutive instances of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ to Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword let out bursts of jingling sounds. “Ah~ That’s it~ Just the right amount of pressure~ So comfortable. Not bad, Shuhang, your technique is getting better and better.”

　　Song Shuhang said, “As long as Senior likes it.”

　　“Is there anything I can help with?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword asked. Since it had nothing else to do, it didn’t mind helping Song Shuhang out.

　　“No, it’s just that I suddenly thought of Senior, so I gave you some maintenance,” Song Shuhang said.

　　“Maintenance? That’s right, even a divine weapon needs maintenance,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said with a laugh—it decided that it would also ask for regular maintenance and benefits when it saw its other master, Scarlet Heaven, again in the future.

　　In a good mood, Scarlet Heaven Sword flew alongside Song Shuhang.

　　At the angle they were traveling relative to one another, Song Shuhang’s shadow just so happened to fall on Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　When Song Shuhang saw his own shadow, he remembered something. “Right, uh… Fairy Butterfly Song White Creation Yellow Trigram Lychee?”

　　What was her full name again? I seem to have suddenly forgotten the rest…

　　The black-skinned Soft Feather emerged from his shadow, and reminded him, “Senior Song, you’ve missed the ‘Six Dou Phoenix’ at the end.”

　　“Your name is too long. It’s kind of hard to remember,” Song Shuhang said.

　　The black-skinned Soft Feather replied, “Mm-hm, I thought the same thing.”

　　However, this was the name that her main body gave to her, so she couldn’t reject it.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Would you like to experience the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ as well?”

　　“!!!” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　After giving it some thought, the black-skinned Soft Feather nodded.

　　In fact, she was also curious about what it was like to experience the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ after seeing Fairy Virtue’s and Fairy Creation’s reaction. Thus, she carefully stretched out her arm in front of Song Shuhang.

　　“Don’t be nervous. Judging from the reactions of Fairy Virtue and Fairy Creation, the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ should feel very good,” Song Shuhang said. He then used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on the black-skinned Soft Feather.

　　After a while…

　　The black-skinned Soft Feather blinked. She tilted her head and looked at Song Shuhang.

　　Song Shuhang asked curiously, “Did it not work?”

　　The black-skinned Soft Feather shook her head.

　　Song Shuhang refused to believe it and released three instances of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ in quick succession—using three instances like this was something he generally only used on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword!
