“From now on, I will try my best to find a way to increase the odds of making this skill work. Anyway, it seems your luck today wasn’t too good, Doudou. Although the success rate was rather low, the skill still ended up working on you.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer completely drilled out of the cocoon, and arrived next to the mud-like Doudou.

　　“What do you want to do?” Doudou said with a terrified expression on his face.

　　“Hehe.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer gently smiled, and looked all around, sweeping the room with his gaze. At last, he noticed a barrel-shaped object in one corner, and brought it over.

　　“Phoenix Slayer, you aren’t thinking of putting me inside that thing, right? No, no, no! That’s a barrel of wine. If you put me inside, my body will mix with the wine within!” Doudou screamed in panic.

　　“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem. The barrel is empty,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer comforted him. After he had said this much, he stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion, attracting over the slime-like Doudou—who was scattered all over the ground—and mercilessly squeezed him into that barrel of wine.

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer patted the barrel, very satisfied, and said, “Done. It’s truly a wonderful way to start the day.”

　　“…” Yu Jiaojiao.

　　“Shuhang, save me! I don’t want to be locked up in this barrel!” Doudou begged for help.

　　Song Shuhang faintly sighed. What’s the point of regretting your actions now? You should have thought about it before seeking death.

　　Just as Doudou was begging for help, Senior Phoenix Slayer’s cold vision fell on Song Shuhang’s body. At the same time, the fifth tail behind his body gently swayed—it was a naked threat! From the looks of it, if Song Shuhang dared to ask for leniency on Doudou’s behalf, he, too, was going to be turned into mud!

　　Therefore, Song Shuhang was quick-witted enough to ignore Doudou’s plea. “Oh, it’s pretty late already. I’d better wake up Senior White.”

　　True Monarch White Crane followed suit and said while beaming with joy, “Right, It’s time for Senior White to get up!”

　　It’d been waiting for Song Shuhang to say this sentence.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Song Shuhang took out his mobile phone, and dialed Venerable White’s number.

　　After the phone rang about ten times, Venerable White finally picked up his phone.

　　His listless voice was transmitted from the other end of the mobile phone. “Hello~”

　　“Hello, Senior White. It’s daytime already. In addition, it’s already pretty late, so you should wake up quickly,” Song Shuhang said in a low voice.

　　“It’s already morning? That was too quick… I feel as though I just closed my eyes.” Venerable White continuously yawned, and said, “Hmmm~ such being the case, let me sleep some more. In addition, it’s still dark outside.”

　　“Senior White, it’s already bright outside! Remember that you are still inside your cocoon, and it will always be dark outside for you!” Song Shuhang really thought of shouting at this time, but he was also afraid of giving Senior White a scare.

　　If Senior White got a scare and carelessly fell to the ground alongside his cocoon… something tragic was going to happen.

　　“Oh, so this was the case… but the sky is still so dark, let me sleep some more, alright…?” Venerable White said in a soft voice. His voice was getting weaker and weaker, just as though he could fall asleep at any time.

　　Today, Song Shuhang discovered that Venerable White was one of those people that hated to get out of bed, and he even used excuses such as ‘it’s still dark outside’ to sleep some more and justify himself!

　　“Senior White, listen to what I’m saying! It’s already bright outside! You can see it by yourself if you come out of the cocoon. In addition, we have to head toward the new filming location today to shoot the new scenes. Don’t forget that you are the main character. Therefore, quickly get ready, alright?” Song Shuhang urged him.

　　Venerable White replied, “Hmm… yes… yes…”

　　Song Shuhang felt that were was something amiss. Venerable White’s response just now was like that of a robot. Therefore, he inquired, “Senior White, did you hear what I said?”

　　Venerable White replied, “Hmm… yes… I heard…”

　　“In that case, quickly get up! Senior White, the next scenes we want to shoot can’t lack the presence of the main character!” Song Shuhang said.

　　Venerable White replied, “Hmm… yes… can’t lack my presence… I’m the main character…”

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　Senior White, are you just repeating my words…?

　　“Senior White, if you don’t wake up, I will break the cocoon!” Song Shuhang threatened.

　　Venerable White replied, “Hmm… yes— no. If you do that, I will instinctively counterattack…”

　　Song Shuhang felt his knees becoming soft. If Venerable White were to counterattack, he would die on the spot!

　　Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “In that case, come out by yourself!”

　　“But… I want to sleep some more. The sky is black, I want to sleep…” Venerable White muttered to himself.

　　It seemed there was no way to reason with him.

　　Venerable White then muttered something else too. “In that case… don’t disturb me, and let me sleep some more… alright?”

　　“When the time comes, how are we supposed to shoot the movie without you?” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

　　“Hmm… hmm… oh?” Venerable White had seemingly remembered something, and asked in a low voice, “Shuhang, we haven’t arrived at the White Cloud Academy yet, right?”

　　The sound of Senior White’s voice was getting lower and lower, and Song Shuhang was having problems to hear him through the mobile phone.

　　“Senior White, at this time, we are still in your holiday residence. But in a while, we will set out and head toward the White Cloud Academy, which is located in the territory of the scholarly faction,” Song Shuhang replied.

　　Venerable White said, “Hmm… in that case, bring me to the White Cloud Academy together with this cocoon!”

　　Senior White felt that he had come up with an incredible idea this time. Now, he could sleep some more inside this huge cocoon.

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　Senior White wants us to bring him to the White Cloud Academy while still inside the cocoon? He is really going all out and trying all means to sleep some more!

　　To hell with this nonsense!

　　Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Senior White, stop acting so capricious, and quickly get out of that cocoon!”

　　“It’s settled then… remember to bring my small nest to the White Cloud Academy…” Venerable White said.

　　The cocoon suddenly received an upgrade and became Senior White’s small nest now?

　　Senior, you are someone that has so many luxurious holiday residences, but now, you are this happy with just a little cocoon? Please, this is just too disappointing!

　　Song Shuhang didn’t know from where to start to ridicule this situation.

　　No, it wasn’t the time for that. The most important thing to do right now was to make Senior White get out of the cocoon! He absolutely couldn’t let him laze around in there any longer.

　　Just as Song Shuhang was wondering what he should say, someone snatched his mobile phone away.

　　It was True Monarch White Crane. After seeing that Song Shuhang and Venerable White had chatted for so long, it couldn’t bear it anymore.

　　“Senior White, leave the task of moving this cocoon to me. I will carry this cocoon to the White Cloud Academy without a hitch!” True Monarch White Crane said resolutely. “Even if I have to die, I will complete this task!”

　　“Good… good… in that case, I leave everything in your hands, Shuhang. Now… I’m going to sleep…” Venerable White muttered to himself. After he had said this much, he hung up the phone.

　　“Sure, Senior White.” True Monarch White Crane had tears streaming down its face. “By the way, I’m White Crane!”

　　Unfortunately, Venerable White had hung up already, and couldn’t hear its voice.

　　True Monarch White Crane suddenly turned its head, and glared at Song Shuhang.

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　“Take your phone back!” True Monarch White Crane gave the mobile phone back to Song Shuhang, and said, “I will take care of the task of moving Senior White to the White Cloud Academy. It’s just a two meters tall cocoon, I can easily carry it over.”
