Chapter 1546: Scarlet Heaven in the flesh

　　On October 19th, Saturday morning, there were still four more days before the cooldown for his resurrection went down.

　　Song Shuhang got up from his bed, and got ready to start his morning exercises.

　　Gao Moumou opened his eyes in a daze. “Oh, Shuhang, you woke up so early today.”

　　Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “I’ve gotten used to it.”

　　Gao Moumou muddleheadedly said, “Mm-hm, today is Saturday. Yayi will bring breakfast for me on Saturday… Just bring breakfast for the other two, I will continue sleeping for a while longer.”

　　“?” Song Shuhang.

　　Did buying you three breakfasts become my task while I was away?

　　What exactly did Qing Wu do to you guys?

　　Alright, I guess I’ll tell Qing Wu to continue bringing you breakfast when I pass by the willow forest in a while, Song Shuhang thought to himself.

　　After getting up, he went to the willow forest alone.

　　The monster willow Qing Wu was enjoying the morning sun.

　　For her, the main world was really great.

　　She was now considering whether to pass the thought of ‘sunshine is awesome’ back to the Netherworld Realm.

　　“Good morning, Qing Wu.” Song Shuhang came to her, and handed the things she had ordered to her.

　　“Good morning, Mister Tyrannical Song.” Qing Wu flexibly took the deliveries with a branch, and then partitioned the goods.

　　Among the orders were things like nutrient soils and nutrient solutions.

　　She was clearly a Fifth Stage monster willow; would these things even have any effect on her?

　　Or could it be that these nutrient soils and nutrient solutions were like snacks for her, and though they had no effect on her, they were delicious?

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Qing Wu, if you’re free, can you go and get my roommates some breakfast?”

　　Qing Wu nodded. “No problem, leave it to me.”

　　After getting along with each other during this period of time, she had seemingly become intent on researching how to bring the laziness out of them.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Song Shuhang began to go through the routine of a fist technique in the willow forest, moving his lower body.

　　Afterward, he summoned the virtuous lamia, and borrowed Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword from her.

　　The virtuous lamia reluctantly lent Scarlet Heaven Sword, and then curled her tail into a ball before shrinking to the side to watch Song Shuhang practice, ready to snatch Song Shuhang’s lines at any time. These lines would then be recorded and stored in her line database, and she could jump out to snatch his lines any time one day in the future.

　　Speaking of snatching lines, for some reason, she suddenly missed ‘Fairy Creation’.

　　“Is it my turn to take the stage once more? Whom are we going to beat up this time?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword became lively as soon as it got out.

　　Song Shuhang responded, “No, I’m doing morning exercise.”

　　Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword smiled heartily, and said, “Morning exercise? Are you saying that you’re planning on using me for morning exercises? What kind of joke… No, nevermind. Good idea, make sure to always use me for your morning exercises!”

　　Morning exercise was good; it could also be a time for it to relax.

　　Even if it was a dignified divine weapon, it would naturally give Song Shuhang a thumbs up for using it for his morning exercises.

　　Song Shuhang waved the Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, and practiced the ❮Holy Light Sword Technique❯.

　　However, his main goal wasn’t actually to practice the technique.

　　After going through the entire ❮Holy Light Sword Technique❯ once, Song Shuhang silently slid his hand on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword and used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on it.

　　“Eh? This feeling… It’s so comfortable. It’s the same comfortable feeling I felt after that battle last time. It’s like I’m enjoying a massage, and my entire body feels good,” Scarlet Heaven Sword said. “Shuhang, it seems that the tacit understanding between you and me has improved!”

　　Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “As long as Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword likes it, then I’m happy.”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword happily said, “Continue, continue. Let’s continue practicing. I feel that the strength in my body has recovered a lot. If a tacit understanding between us is cultivated, perhaps we can even reach the realm of One With the Sword.”

　　“Okay.” Song Shuhang practiced the ❮Holy Light Sword Technique❯ again, and after that, he quietly used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　“Yes, yes, this is it.” Scarlet Heaven Sword was extremely comfortable.

　　The feeling seemed to be addictive.

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword urged, “Come on, let’s practice again.”

　　It felt that it might actually fall in love with this morning exercise.

　　Song Shuhang pinched his chin, considering whether to tell Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword about the effects of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.

　　The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was mainly used to enhance the tacit understanding between man and saber, and allow one to enter the One With the Saber Realm as soon as possible. In addition, the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ also had a hidden attribute—if what ‘Ancestor Juhao’ said in the dreamland was true, then the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ might eventually turn Scarlet Heaven Sword into a saber woman.

　　Hmm… Wait, there is a problem here.

　　Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword is a sword, so is it going to become a sword woman instead?

　　Hmm… Wait, there’s another problem.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, do you have a gender?”

　　“???” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　Song Shuhang’s question caused Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s body to go a little cold.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “I’m wondering… If Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword were to take on a human form, would you have a gender?”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword responded, “You… What the hell is going on in that mind of yours?”

　　Song Shuhang explained, “In fact, this is what’s going on. I had listened to a senior’s lecture, during which he imparted the ❮Three Thousand Sabers Scripture❯, a masterpiece for the saber path.”

　　“When did you get to listen to a senior’s lecture?” Scarlet Heaven Sword asked in confusion.

　　Song Shuhang said, “In a dreamland, the senior was giving a lecture in the dreamland. Then, after he explained the ❮Three Thousand Sabers Scripture❯, he also talked about a secret technique called the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Then?”

　　Song Shuhang slowly explained what had transpired in the dreamland. “According to that senior’s explanation, when this ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ is used to the extreme, it can give the saber spirituality, and it can also make the saber resonate with the owner and turn into a saber woman.”

　　He wanted to ask Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword whether such a thing like the saber lady could actually appear.

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Then… Were you using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on me?”

　　Song Shuhang said, “In the beginning, my hand just slipped, and I accidentally used it once. Today, I was a little curious and used it again, and then at the request of Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, I used it another time.”

　　“…” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　I was treating you as a friend, yet you want to turn me into a saber woman?

　　Song Shuhang said, “Actually, what I want to ask about is whether or not this information is even reliable.”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword answered, “Listening to your description, there’s a 90% chance that this Ancestor Juhao was merely fooling that Su Xian. Ever since I gained life back in the ancient era, I’ve never seen anybody’s flying sword or treasured saber take on a human form. A treasured sword with a mind like myself is already the highest level there should be.”

　　Song Shuhang asked, “So, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, would you like to try the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ again? Maybe you can turn into a saber woman.”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword responded, “Go away, my first owner Scarlet Heaven never had any such thoughts.”

　　Just as Scarlet Heaven Sword said these words, a spatial gate opened right beside Song Shuhang.

　　The virtuous lamia flicked her tail, and quickly went to Song Shuhang’s side to protect him.

　　The spatial gate was an iconic ability of powerhouses at or above the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm.

　　Is there another big shot who has come to mess with me?

　　Song Shuhang immediately checked if his connection with the ‘Inner World’ was working… fortunately, the Inner World had not hidden itself away.

　　After the spatial gate opened, a daoist wearing a red robe stepped out of the spatial gate.

　　At this time, the expression on the daoist priest’s face was particularly strange.

　　“Senior Scarlet Heaven?” Song Shuhang tried to call out after seeing the daoist priest.

　　…It was Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven, the first owner of Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　This was the first time Song Shuhang had seen Scarlet Heaven in the flesh.

　　He had only ever seen him in a dreamland before.

　　Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven calmly said, “When did this penniless daoist become the first owner?”

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword responded, “F*ck, my tongue slipped.”

　　It wasn’t embarrassed at all.

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword calmly said, “Recently, I always get swallowed by Fairy @#%×. Because of that, I felt that I have become her treasured sword, which made me subconsciously think that I have changed owners.”

　　After saying that, it flew to Scarlet Heaven’s side. “Why have you suddenly come looking for me?”

　　Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven smiled at Song Shuhang. “Little friend Shuhang, we meet again.”

　　Song Shuhang respectfully greeted Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven. “Yes, Senior. Thank you, for gracing me with that technique back then.”

　　After stepping into the world of cultivation, if he’d not gotten the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique, he would have probably long gone cold. He dared not belittle nor forget being graced with this technique.

　　“It was simply fated to be between you and this penniless daoist.” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven smiled, and he patted Scarlet Heaven Sword lightly. “Because of some reasons, I will be bringing Scarlet Heaven Sword back with me.”

　　Otherwise, if something similar to what happened to Cheng Lin were to happen after he entered that state like being in the Wielder’s small black room, Scarlet Heaven Sword might completely forget about its master.

　　When he saw Senior Scarlet Heaven appear, Song Shuhang had guessed that he was going to take away Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　Song Shuhang said to Scarlet Heaven Sword, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, thank you for taking care of me lately.”

　　Although he had a lot of dismay in his heart, Scarlet Heaven Sword was Senior Scarlet Heaven’s life-bound magical treasure. If its owner wanted to take it back, he didn’t really have a good reason to deny the other party.

　　“You’re welcome, I had a nice time being with you. Let’s work together again when the opportunity presents itself.” Scarlet Heaven Sword flew to Song Shuhang’s side, and patted Song Shuhang lightly with its sword body.

　　“Eh?” The virtuous lamia, who was by the side, finally reacted.

　　Her Scarlet Heaven Sword was being taken!

　　As a result, she made a move and caught Scarlet Heaven Sword all at once.

　　Immediately afterward, she opened her mouth and skillfully swallowed Scarlet Heaven Sword into her abdomen.

　　“…” Scarlet Heaven.

　　“…” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　After swallowing Scarlet Heaven Sword, the virtuous lamia whizzed back and hid in Song Shuhang’s body, refusing to come out.

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　“Ahem, Scarlet Heaven, can I stay with them a few more days?” At this time, Scarlet Heaven Sword’s voice came from Song Shuhang’s belly.

　　“???” Scarlet Heaven.

　　Why did he seem to feel that he had been abandoned by his own life-bound magical treasure?

　　Scarlet Heaven Sword’s voice continued, “Anyway, isn’t there all this matter with the Celestials coming over to the main world? After they’re dealt with, I can come back to you. You only have to open a spatial gate.”

　　“It seems that you and little fried Song Shuhang are really compatible.” Scarlet Heaven maintained his appearance of being a worldly expert, and smiled slightly. “Then, little friend Song Shuhang, I’ll be troubling you to take care of my Scarlet Heaven Sword for a few more days.”
