Chapter 1374 - You… are still Sixteen, right?

Chapter 1374 You… are still Sixteen, right?
Song Shuhang said,
It’s fine. I already told you that my golden core has the shape of a fat whale. It was already fat— fck, what happened to my whale core? It was still alright before.
When he saw his fat whale golden core, he was immediately stunned.
Although my fat whale was fat before, isn’t it too fat now? Its abdomen is a bit too big and too obvious, it’s as if… it’s pregnant.
This effect… isn’t this the Impregnating Gaze’s effect?
When he had entered the dreamland and experienced a part of Fairy Creation’s life, the Scholarly Sage had used the Impregnating Gaze on him twice. Fairy Creation’s dreamland body had become pregnant both times. As such, could it have also influenced his body?
Alternatively, when he was delivering the speech, he used the ‘Impregnating Gaze’, and his golden core became pregnant after that?
Anyway, this was simply absurd.
Soft Feather asked,
Perhaps it has eaten too much. Senior Song, where are the golden core’s dragon patterns?
Compared to the pregnant golden core, she was more interested in seeing the ‘painted dragon patterns’.
Song Shuhang said,
Give me a moment.

The conversation between the two at this time was done telepathically.
Song Shuhang temporarily put aside the matter of the whale core becoming pregnant. With his mental command, the armor on his golden core was slowly shed.

Golden core armor? This is so cool.
Soft Feather’s eyes lit up.
When I get back, I’m going to ask my dad if there is a way to make it so that my golden core stands out—either that or if there is a way to have golden core armor appear.
Of course, this was just a random thought.
The golden core armor came down piece by piece, revealing the thick golden core dragon patterns within.
The Impregnable Holy City, the Holy Sword of the End, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, the virtuous lamia + the Sage Seal, the Ancient Holy Apes + Scholarly Scriptures, the Scholarly Sage’s eye, the Inner World Lotus, and the fat whale formed by 33 divine beasts.
Each dragon pattern was very distinct, and after seeing it, Soft Feather felt envious. She also wished to condense dragon patterns with so many distinct traits.
Smiling, Song Shuhang said,
Next is the ninth dragon pattern. This dragon pattern is very special. Before looking at it, you should prepare yourself mentally.
After saying that, he removed the piece of armor that was covering the last dragon pattern.

Prepare myself mentally?
Soft Feather curiously looked at the last dragon pattern.
As Song Shuhang had said so, she was even more curious, so she carefully took a look at it.
Compared with the previous eight dragon patterns, this last dragon pattern was much more slender, and its style was much more beautiful as well.
When Soft Feather was staring at the dragon pattern, suddenly… the image of a young lady with long legs appeared in front of her.
This young lady had long hair that reached all the way to her waist and white skin.
Not to boast or anything, but this young lady was very beautiful, and she was just as beautifully dressed.

Eh? Eeeeh?
Soft Feather’s mental energy fluctuated violently.
This young lady with long legs, wasn’t this her?
How could this be?
Senior Song had her painted as the last dragon pattern on his golden core?
This was too sudden.

S-S-Senior Song?
Soft Feather panicked.
She was completely unprepared for this. Having received such a huge impact caused her to stutter.
She and Senior Song hit it off well, with them having lots of common topics and a certain urge to seek death. However, they hadn’t spent that much time together.
She had always felt that the relationship between herself and Senior Song was a normal ‘senior and junior’ relationship.
But now, Senior Song had carved her as his whale core dragon pattern.
Does this mean what I think it means?
Soft Feather was so nervous that she was at a loss for words, and had no idea how she was to face this matter.
Song Shuhang asked,
How is it? Isn’t it exciting?

Soft Feather panicked, and said,
W-Well… Senior Song… I… I don’t know what to say, isn’t this going too quickly… I’m not mentally prepared yet…

Song Shuhang triumphantly said,
Hehehehe, what did you see?


What did I see? Well… I saw myself.
Soft Feather’s mental energy fluctuated greatly. However, with it seeming like there was more to the matter from how Song Shuhang was speaking, she calmed down a bit.
Song Shuhang said,
Hehe, that’s right. This ninth dragon pattern has the attribute of showing [oneself]. Hm… It’s rather troublesome to explain, but to put it bluntly, it’s pretty much just a mirror. Staring at it allows you to see [oneself]. Isn’t it interesting?

Soft Feather:
…

Song Shuhang said,
Isn’t it exciting?

Soft Feather’s mind finally calmed down.
After a while, she said,
Senior Song… Senior Thrice Reckless is going to cry because of this.

Song Shuhang curiously asked,
What does this have to do with Senior Thrice Reckless?

Soft Feather happily said,
I feel that Senior Thrice Reckless’s throne of the king of death-seeking will be usurped by you sooner or later. However, it’s indeed exciting!

When she saw herself as the last core pattern on Song Shuhang’s Golden Core, she was completely at a loss and began stuttering. Now that she was looking back at it, the excitement was real.

It’s fun and interesting. It truly was the right choice to have gone on an adventure with Senior Song,
Soft Feather said cheerfully.
The next time I have the chance, I will still choose to go out and have fun with Senior Song.

Song Shuhang said,
Hahahaha, don’t tell Senior White and Sixteen about the effect of the ninth pattern. Let’s go out now, I’m going to bring Sixteen and Senior White in.

Soft Feather said,
No problem, I promise that I won’t tell them… It’ll be more fun this way.


Hehehe.
Song Shuhang.

Hehehe.
Soft Feather.
Song Shuhang said,
Okay, let’s go out first.

Soft Feather remarked,
It’s a pity. The only thing that can enter the sea of qi dantian to have a look at the pattern on the whale core is mental energy. If you could have it materialize and the entire event were to be filmed, it would definitely be very interesting.

Song Shuhang responded,
Yes, it’s indeed a pity.

Soft Feather worriedly asked,
By the way, Senior Song. What if Senior White gets too stirred up and trips?

Song Shuhang replied,
Don’t worry. With Senior White’s character, even if he sees this kind of thing, he should be able to remain very calm.

Soft Feather then asked,
What about Sixteen? What if she’s unable to take it that well and ends up wanting to cut people down?

Song Shuhang replied,
That… probably isn’t going to happen, right?

❄️❄️❄️
After a while, Soft Feather’s mental energy withdrew from Song Shuhang’s golden core.
Su Clan’s Sixteen curiously asked,
Soft Feather, what did you see?

Soft Feather kept a serious look as she patted Su Clan’s Sixteen lightly, and said in a serious tone,
You should go have a look yourself.


???
Su Clan’s Sixteen.
And so, with a face filled with doubt, Su Clan’s Sixteen’s mental energy plunged into Song Shuhang’s golden core world.
Just like Soft Feather, she first saw the first eight dragon patterns. After that, Song Shuhang slowly moved away the armor piece that covered the ninth dragon pattern.
In the next moment, Su Clan’s Sixteen also saw a relatively slender dragon pattern.
Just as he did with Soft Feather, before he revealed his ninth dragon pattern, Song Shuhang told Su Clan’s Sixteen to prepare herself mentally.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked,
Is there something special about this dragon pattern?
She felt like there was some prank going on when Song Shuhang introduced this dragon pattern to her.
Song Shuhang softly said,
Just stare at it.

Sixteen continued to stare at the ninth dragon pattern…
After a while, the dragon pattern came to life in her eyes. It turned into a lifelike golden dragon that went to soar through the clouds. Then… the color of this golden dragon faded little by little until it eventually turned into a beautiful white dragon.
Su Clan’s Sixteen suspiciously asked,
Your ninth dragon pattern fades?


Huh?
Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said,
Eh? Your reaction is so strange. Your ninth dragon pattern suddenly became a lifelike dragon and then faded.

Song Shuhang:
…

What the hell did Sixteen see?
Wasn’t this dragon pattern supposed to show ‘oneself’? When Sixteen looks at this dragon pattern, isn’t she supposed to see her cute self?
What’s with the dragon pattern fading?
Strange, could it be that the ninth dragon pattern lost its power? Song Shuhang thought to himself. He used inner sight and stared at his ninth dragon pattern.
In the next moment, the ninth dragon pattern reflected the appearance of a young man with long blue hair.
It was working fine as it had taken his appearance.
Although he had already shaved his hair, the ninth dragon pattern still reflected the appearance of the real Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang curiously said,
It’s working just fine!

Su Clan’s Sixteen asked,
What special effect does your ninth dragon pattern have?

Song Shuhang said,
It has the ability to reflect [oneself]. It’s like a mirror that can reflect the person who looks at the dragon pattern.
After saying that, he suddenly paused.
Sixteen had seen the dragon pattern fade and turned into a white dragon.
Since the ninth dragon pattern was working properly, could the fading dragon that Sixteen had seen be herself?
Just as Song Shuhang had thought about this, Su Clan’s Sixteen seemed to think of the same thing as well.
Her mental energy began to vibrate violently, and it became chaotic.
Song Shuhang:
…

He felt like he was playing with fire a bit too much.
After all, he was not Senior Thrice Reckless. It was a kind of talent to be able to live after seeking death, and it was very clear that he didn’t have this talent.
Su Clan’s Sixteen’s mental energy began to calm down, and she softly said,
Have you guessed it?

Song Shuhang said,
Well, I never would have thought that you were a princess of the dragon clan. Does your Spirit River Su Clan have the bloodline of a dragon?


Shuhang, you’re so silly. You can’t be serious with this nonsense.
Su Clan’s Sixteen laughed.
Song Shuhang:
…


Actually, it’s fine for me to tell you. I never planned on keeping it a secret anyway. I just felt like there was no need to talk about it,
Su Clan’s Sixteen slowly said.
After I failed to transcend the heavenly tribulation of the Fourth Stage, you brought me a skeletal dragon’s withered vine. Originally, it was only meant to heal the injuries I suffered during the heavenly tribulation. However, after using it, some changes occurred to me, and I ended up transforming into a dragon.

Song Shuhang said,
Is it really as simple as you having transformed into a dragon?

If it was only that, when she was looking at the mirror, she should have been able to recognize herself.

You… are still Sixteen, right?
Song Shuhang whispered using his mental energy.
