Chapter 474: Pearls with the spiritual energy of a beast

Just as Song Shuhang was thinking about the one-month trip into space and wondering what he should bring with him, a senior arrived next to him.

It was Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.

At this time, his complexion was a bit pale. After arriving next to Song Shuhang, he asked thoughtfully, “Little friend Shuhang, do you feel better now?”

Song Shuhang raised his head in puzzlement. At this time, he still felt his ears buzzing, and stars were dancing before his eyes.

“Dammit, little friend Shuhang was mind-broken,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman lamented.

Whatever, surviving the roar of the ‘Soul King’ was already considered a lucky thing itself.

“Senior, what did you say?” Song Shuhang shook his head and said, “I can’t hear too well now, and even my reaction time has slowed down by several times. My brain can’t read lips, either.”

Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman patted Song Shuhang’s head with a compassionate look on his face… little friend Shuhang had really suffered a lot this time.

“It’s alright, just follow me. I’ll bring you to your friends. While we’re at it, let’s eat breakfast as well,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said with a smile.

❄️❄️❄️

Gao Moumou, Tubo, Zhuge Zhongyang, Lu Fei, her elder sister, and the other ‘teachers’ had just woken up.

After rinsing their mouths and washing their faces, they prepared to eat breakfast.

On this island of natives, while houses and clothes were not really to their liking, the food on the other hand was pretty good. They could eat rich food and delicacies of every kind. Moreover, it was 100% natural and pollution-free.

Each day, breakfast would be a buffet, and one could eat whatever they felt like. Chinese style breakfast, Western style breakfast… if they wanted to eat something, they could eat it.

Just as Gao Moumou, Tubo, and the others were about to enter the dining room, they heard a strange singing voice transmit over from afar.

That voice was simply bewitching. Although it was transmitted from a very far away place, each word was clearly audible to all the present as the sound entered their ears. Moreover, this voice had the ability to literally kill one’s brain. After listening at it for a while, all the present felt their brains collapse, and their thought process slowed down by several times.

This happened even though Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman had arranged several formations on the island that greatly weakened the effects of Dharma King Creation’s sound wave attack. Otherwise, this devilish sound would have flooded their minds and turned all the people on the island into fools.

After the voice faded away, Gao Moumou, Tubo, and the others were still stiffly standing in their original places. At this time, their minds were completely blank, and they had lost their ability to think and act for a short period of time.

After quite a while, Gao Moumou subconsciously said, “Was that the singing voice of that female monster, the siren?”

“No, the voice we heard just now was that of a man. Even if it was a siren, it should be a male one,” Tubo said.

Zhuge Zhongyang sighed with emotion and said, “One surely needs to be talented to sing like this!”

Just as everybody was discussing, two figures appeared outside the dining room.

One was the master of the island, the guy wearing a black windbreaker.

The other one was a young man wearing a kasaya, as well as long hair that reached his shoulders.

Was this young man a monk that had decided to let his hair grow long?

❄️❄️❄️

Eh? Wait a moment!

“Shuhang!” Gao Moumou called out.

Wasn’t this young man with shoulder-length hair and a stupid look on his face their good friend Song Shuhang?

But when did Song Shuhang’s hair grow so long? When the airplane crashed, his hair was short! And what was the deal with this kasaya he was wearing?

Song Shuhang absentmindedly looked at Gao Moumou and Tubo. Even after quite a while, there wasn’t any change in his expression.

Tubo went ahead and, somewhat worried, asked, “Master of the island, did something happen to Shuhang?”

“Ah! It’s a long story… anyway, did you hear that singing voice just now?” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman asked with a pale look on his face.

“The singing voice of the siren?” Tubo asked subconsciously.

“Siren? Hahaha!” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman laughed loudly. Soon after, he said, “We all call that singer ‘Soul King’. Even if there was quite some distance, you should have also felt the lethality of that sound, right? Little friend Song Shuhang was too close and bore the brunt of the attack of the Soul King’s music. The voice passed through his ears and flooded his mind. Under these circumstances, his reaction speed is slowed down a bit. But don’t worry, he should recover in half a day given the strength of his body.”

He would still need half a day to recover?

“Ah! It’s Tubo and Gao Moumou!” Song Shuhang replied after a long time and forced a smile. His current situation was very similar to when he was controlling Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s body earlier.

He felt as though there was a lag between all his actions. That three seconds delay while he was controlling Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s body was enough to give him a lot of trouble. Now, the condition of his body was even worse. The delay went from three to eleven seconds, and it was even longer sometimes.

“Anyway, I’ll leave little friend Song Shuhang to you teachers for now. I have some matters to deal with so I’ll take my leave first. We’ll see each other at noon,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said.

❄️❄️❄️

Tubo and Gao Moumou helped Song Shuhang and made him sit down. Zhuge Zhongyang, Zhuge Yue, Lu Fei, and her elder sister all gathered over.

Joseph and his daughter weren’t here yet. For some reason, Joseph was getting up later and later nowadays…

Gao Moumou and Yayi went together to get some breakfast for Song Shuhang.

Somewhat worried, Tubo asked, “Shuhang, where have you been for the past few days? How come you weren’t with us?”

“Don’t speak so quickly, slow down a bit. Both my ears and brain are buzzing. It’s very difficult for me to properly hear your words,” Song Shuhang replied with a forced smile. “My luck was pretty good. Although I fell into the sea when the plane crashed, a friend quickly came over and found me, saving my life. Afterward, I returned to China with that friend. But then, I discovered that you guys were here on this little island. So I decided to come over with that friend to take a look at you guys.”

The breakfast wasn’t bad. Fried eggs, thin pancakes, and soybean milk were all things that Song Shuhang liked. Song Shuhang trembling hands made an effort and picked up the food, bringing it to his mouth.

Lu Fei asked out of curiosity, “Shuhang, what’s the deal with that kasaya you’re wearing?”

“Ah…” After a while, Song Shuhang replied, “It’s something that another friend gifted me.”

While they were eating, Tubo, Gao Moumou, and the others asked some questions out of concern.

After seeing that Song Shuhang was safe, Gao Moumou and Tubo were finally able to heave a sigh of relief.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang kept eating the breakfast with much difficulty while listening to Gao Moumou and the others telling him about the interesting things that happened while they were giving lectures to the natives.

Then, Song Shuhang suddenly paused and turned his head around, looking toward two positions at the back of the dining table.

A businesswoman was sitting with her friend there, eating her breakfast. A pearl the size of a pigeon egg was hanging around her neck.

Song Shuhang could feel spiritual energy emitted from the pigeon egg-sized pearl. This spiritual energy was different than the pure spiritual energy inside spirit stones. The aura of an animal seemed to be mixed within this spiritual energy.

Perhaps because she felt Song Shuhang gaze, the businesswoman raised her head and looked at him while eating her breakfast.

After seeing Song Shuhang, the woman faintly smiled at him… it was a very strange feeling. Although it was her first time seeing Song Shuhang, she felt that he was a trustworthy person. Even if the other party was staring at her in a rather rude manner, she didn’t dislike it.

When she saw this man, she felt as though he was a very reliable person, just like someone that had saved her life in the past.

Song Shuhang could only smile somewhat embarrassed.

“Were you looking at this?” the businesswoman asked as she held the pearl hanging around her neck. She had very keen senses and discovered that Song Shuhang was staring at the pearl hanging around her neck.

“Yes, I feel that there is something strange with that pearl,” Song Shuhang said as he nodded. It wasn’t a spirit stone, and yet there was a lot of spiritual energy inside, as well as the aura of an animal. What was this thing?

Since there is spiritual energy inside, it should be a treasure, right?

Such being the case, why didn’t Senior Seven Lives Talisman pay attention to the pearl hanging around the neck of this businesswoman?

After all, Senior Seven Lives Talisman has been in contact with this group of ‘teachers’ for a very long period of time. It should be impossible for him not to notice the pearl…

Perhaps an item of this level is not even worth mentioning for someone of Senior Seven Lives Talisman’s level?

Anyway, regardless of why Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman ignored the pearl, Song Shuhang felt a strange feeling in his guts. He wanted this pearl that had the aura of an animal inside!

His intuition was screaming at him that this item would be very useful for his practice!

“I also don’t know where this thing comes from. I’m sure I didn’t have it with me before the plane crashed. But after I woke up and found myself on this small island, I discovered that I had this pearl in my pocket, “the businesswoman said as she tried to recall what had happened.

Then, after pondering for a moment, she grabbed the pearl around her neck and did something that was out of Song Shuhang’s expectations… she threw the pearl toward him.

“This is a gift for you~” the businesswoman said.

Song Shuhang tried to catch the pearl in a flurry.

“Hehe.” The businesswoman smiled.

“Ah? Le’er, did you take a liking for that little brother?” That slightly plump but very attractive air hostess next to the businesswoman made fun of her.

“That’s not it.” The businesswoman named Le’er gave her a supercilious look.

She only felt that she owned this young man a favor. Therefore, she subconsciously thought of doing him this favor in return.

Song Shuhang held onto the pearl, somewhat embarrassed. After a while, he scratched his head and said, “Thank you, Miss. It’s true that I liked this pearl… but it’s a very valuable item. I cannot take it without giving you something else in return. Can I use money to buy it?”

The businesswoman felt a bit strange after she was called ‘Miss’.

She smiled and said, “There is no need. It’s just a pearl, and even I don’t know where it comes from. You can take it.”

“But it’s something very valuable. Although I can’t tell what this thing is either, I can assure you that it’s an item whose value goes far beyond your imagination.”

“Pfff~” Le’er found Song Shuhang’s serious expression very amusing. She smiled and said, “Alright, it’s up to you then.”

Given how serious the expression of the young man before her eyes was, she felt that he would return the pearl to her if she didn’t agree to his proposal…

Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and stretched out his hand toward his clothes. He seized the opportunity and took out of his size-reducing purse a big strap of money.
