Chapter 1216 Daughters will grow up eventually

　　Pavilion Master Chu gritted her teeth, and said, “Take it easy, take it easy… it’s already been such a long time, for how long do I still need to hold back? Take it easy your sister!”

　　Song Shuhang felt as if her hate had materialized.

　　“I don’t want to hold back anymore,” Pavilion Master Chu said in a low voice, seemingly talking to herself and also to Song Shuhang. “I don’t want to wait anymore. I want to bring them back for real and not just in the form of illusion. This is the only thing I want, why can’t I have it?”

　　Song Shuhang’s heart moved, and he looked at the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’.

　　He was aware that the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had been created through Pavilion Master Chu’s illusory reality. Along with her strength increasing, the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion also became more and more real. In the past, some cultivators had entered the place by mistake, and the disciples of the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’ had warmly welcomed them. Even after leaving the pavilion, these cultivators were unable to realize that it was just an illusion.

　　After hearing Pavilion Master Chu’s words, Song Shuhang guessed that her path to immortality might be related to the illusory Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.

　　“You won’t try to stop me, right?” Pavilion Master Chu suddenly turned to Song Shuhang.

　　Song Shuhang smiled bitterly. “I’m not Slow-Witted Song. Pavilion Master Chu, you should be clear about this.”

　　Song Shuhang was also unaware as to why Slow-Witted Song didn’t want Pavilion Master Chu to step on her path to immortality. However, it might be due to something important. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent this letter to warn Pavilion Master Chu.

　　“Thus, you won’t stop me, right?” Pavilion Master Chu asked again.

　　Song Shuhang furrowed his brows. He pondered about the current situation for a long time, and then replied, “Pavilion Master Chu, if possible, I also think that you should not make haste. As I mentioned before, the [Heaven] is about to change. During this period of turbulence, all Immortals went into hiding, and even Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders might be affected. Therefore, there is no harm in waiting some more, at least until this period of turbulence is over.”

　　Pavilion Master Chu said, “So, you’re also saying that I should wait? In that case, tell me, how long do I have to wait?”

　　“I’m only replying based on the changes happening in the outside world. A senior I know mentioned that this period of turbulence would not last for a long time. Therefore, it’s better if you wait some more, Pavilion Master Chu,” Song Shuhang explained.

　　“I’m not sure how long I can still wait. I want to forget what’s written in that letter every day.” Pavilion Master Chu stretched herself and changed the subject. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to the Time City. Without my help, it wouldn’t be easy for you to get inside.”

　　Song Shuhang turned to look at Daoist Umbrella, who’d disappeared in the distance. Did his memory go bad because Pavilion Master Chu subconsciously wanted to forget the content of the letter?

　　Was she hoping to forget the letter’s content this way?

　　In the distance, Daoist Umbrella picked up the crumpled paper with a lost expression on his face. But after a short moment, he placed the umbrella on his shoulder and headed to his bamboo house

　　In the upper level of the Time City.

　　Chu Chu quietly left Li Yinzhu’s room and cleaned her running nose.

　　The cold inside the room was bone piercing. Even though she was wearing thick clothes, she felt like freezing in there.

　　When Ye Si came back the last time, she brought with her the supplementary cultivation technique that the Great Northern Emperor had given her to cure Li Yinzhu’s disease.

　　The Great Emperor didn’t tell them the cultivation technique’s name, but since it came from him, it was definitely a very high-quality cultivation technique.

　　Li Yinzhu had to practice this cultivation technique to the beginner level before the Ice Soul Pill was refined. Afterward, she would use this cultivation technique alongside the power of the Ice Soul Pill to cure the cold disease affecting her body.

　　While practicing the supplementary cultivation technique, the cold in her body would be eliminated, blending with the true yuan in her body. However, she’d also release a lot of chilling air during the process.

　　The cold was terrifying, and it could even ignore the special constitution of a cultivator.

　　Each time Chu Chu was looking after Li Yinzhu, her body would almost freeze.

　　“Miss Chu Chu, long time no see.” At this time, a familiar voice echoed in Chu Chu’s

　　ears.

　　Chu Chu looked up and saw Mister Song Shuhang

　　We haven’t met for a short while, but Mister Shuhang seems to have grown taller and become much stronger.

　　Wait, what’s this feeling?

　　When she stared at Song Shuhang, she felt an awe-inspiring feeling come from his body.

　　At the same time, she couldn’t help but shout, “T-T-Tranny… Song… Profound Sage Tyrannical Song?!”

　　Pavilion Master Chu: “Pfff-” What the hell is this Tranny Song?

　　Song Shuhang: “…”

　　“Mister Shuhang, you have become a Profound Sage?” Chu Chu gulped and opened her eyes wide.

　　The place where she and Li Yinzhu had been staying was the upper level of the Time City, a secret realm where time passed at a slower rate. One day here was equivalent to 12 days in the outside world. However, it was still impossible that thousands of years had passed on Earth. Even if they had been here for a month, only one year would pass in the outside world.

　　Yet, she hadn’t been in this secret realm for such a long time.

　　She remembered that Song Shuhang was still a Second Stage cultivator when they’d last met. He’d fought against the Illusory Sword School on the ‘Grievance Settling Platform’ in her stead and broke through on the stage.

　　Now, in the blink of an eye, he’d become an Eighth Stage Profound Sage?

　　It seems I entered the wrong Time City. One day here must be 1000 years outside.

　　“Not yet. This Profound Sage status of mine has some problems,” Song Shuhang replied.

　　Chu Chu: “…” Fake Profound Sages also exist?

　　However, she still sighed in relief after hearing Song Shuhang’s explanation. Going from the Second to the Eighth Stage in one go would have been too exaggerated.

　　“Tyrannical Song- Fellow Daoist Song, what is your current realm in that case?” Chu Chu asked out of curiosity.

　　Song Shuhang replied, “I just reached the Fourth Stage and condensed the first immortal bone. I’m currently trying to condense more.”

　　“The Fourth Stage?” Chu Chu opened her eyes wide. “If I’m not mistaken, weren’t you at the Second Stage Realm when we last met?”

　　“Yes, I was at the Second Stage,” Song Shuhang said.

　　Chu Chu continued, “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, for how long have you practiced in the outside world?” Chu Chu’d already changed the way he addressed Song Shuhang several times since they’d met.

　　“It should be almost two months, I think,” Song Shuhang said.

　　Chu Chu: “…”

　　Are we playing the same cultivation game? Is the amount of experience we need to level up even the same? Senior Tyrannical Song, next time, bring me to grind with you!

　　“Is Little Yinzhu okay?” Song Shuhang asked.

　　Chu Chu replied, “Miss Yinzhu’s condition has been getting better and better since she started practicing that supplementary cultivation technique. However, the cold around her is also getting stronger.”

　　“It seems you went through a lot of trouble. Is she still practicing?” Song Shuhang asked.

　　Chu Chu nodded.

　　Song Shuhang slowly opened the door to the room and saw that the insides were full of cold air, just as though it was a freezer.

　　Even if he was a Fourth Stage cultivator, he couldn’t help but shiver.

　　The cold was truly terrifying.

　　As Song Shuhang opened the door, Li Yinzhu opened her eyes. Her long, silver eyelashes were full of frost, which fell down when she blinked. Then, her silver pupils gazed at Song Shuhang, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

　　Her small body got down from the bed and trotted towards Song Shuhang, jumping into his embrace.

　　Song Shuhang caught Li Yinzhu and patted her head. He was very skilled in his actions, just as though he’d done this many times before.

　　This must be the influence of living Daoist Priest Li Tiansu’s life through the dreamland, Song Shuhang thought to himself.

　　Song Shuhang picked up Li Yinzhu, and curiously asked, “Eh? Did Yinzhu get smaller again?”

　　“Mister Tyrannical Song, it’s you have gotten taller.” Chu Chu stood beside Song Shuhang and gesticulated.

　　Song Shuhang shook his head. “Although I got taller, I’m sure that Yinzhu got smaller as well.”

　　Earlier, Yinzhu had looked like a four, five years old child. Now, she looked more like a three years old girl.

　　Li Yinzhu looked at her small hand. She didn’t seem to notice much difference from before.

　　“It’s okay. As long as the cold disease is cured, Yinzhu would be able to slowly grow up again. One day, you’ll become a big girl,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.

　　He took out the Ice Soul Pill that Senior Turtle had refined and gave it to Li Yinzhu.

　　“This is the Ice Soul Pill, there are three portions in total. Take them one after the other and use the supplementary cultivation technique alongside it to remove the cold in your body,” Song Shuhang said.

　　Li Yinzhu nodded her small head. “After taking the medicine, will I slowly grow up?”

　　“Naturally,” Song Shuhang said.

　　Li Yinzhu continued, “Will I become as big as Chu Chu?”

　　“Of course,” Song Shuhang replied.

　　Earlier, he noticed that when Li Yinzhu’s body shrank, her state of mind was also affected, becoming somewhat immature.

　　Li Yinzhu replied, “Okay.”

　　She grabbed the Ice Soul Pill and trotted back to her bed. At this time, she was just slightly taller than it. She first placed her hands on the bed, and then climbed it with much difficulty, finally turning her body and rolling on the bedsheet.

　　She followed Song Shuhang’s instructions and swallowed part of the Ice Soul Pill, beginning to revolve the supplementary cultivation technique.

　　A strong wave of cold gushed out from her body. However, the cold didn’t disperse, but condensed instead. After gushing out, it was sucked back into her body, transforming into life-bound true yuan that merged with Li Yinzhu’s body.

　　“After the cold disease is cured, Li Yinzhu will finally recover and grow up,” Song Shuhang said, gratified.

　　Then, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

　　He was inside a church.

　　A girl that slightly looked like him was wearing a wedding dress. He was supporting her by grasping her arm as they were walking on the red carpet.

　　Then, the church’s door opened, and a handsome young man dashed in, looking at the girl in the wedding dress with loving eyes.

　　F*ck! Young man, who are you?! Come here for a bit, I promise I won’t beat you to death!
