2404 What Are You Up To on Spirit Butterfly Island?

Whoosh! Song Shuhang was launched out of the Inner World by his own bow. He aimed to land near the Branded Wooden Saber.

True to his word, Su Kongyun had positioned Song Shuhang’s Branded Wooden Saber at the Vermilion Bird Gate near the Spirit River Su Clan. An inn nearby, used by the clan to welcome esteemed guests, was his intended landing spot.

Besides the ‘Branded Wooden Saber,’ Su Kongyun and his companions also carried a coordinate saber. However, as it was Song Shuhang’s first visit and he was not yet acquainted with the area, he had to enter through the main gate instead of directly infiltrating the Spirit River Su Clan.

Moments later, Song Shuhang was precisely fired into the coordinates and achieved a perfect landing.

“Not bad… As long as it’s brief enough, my fear of speed won’t kick in.” Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction.

“Has your fear of heights improved?” Pavilion Master Chu inquired.

Song Shuhang nodded. “My fear of heights is pretty much gone. After all, I can fly now!”

“Ahhh!” As they spoke, Soft Feather’s thrilled scream echoed from behind.

Soft Feather laughed in between her screams.

“Senior Song, watch out!” Soft Feather yelled from a distance.

“No worries, I’ll catch you,” Song Shuhang responded while extending his hand as his mental energy formed a soft, large hand to catch Soft Feather.

But, when his telekinetic hand touched Soft Feather, it shattered.

Soft Feather’s body directly collided with the telekinetic hand and broke through without any resistance.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

“We’re going to crash, Senior Song!” Soft Feather seemed unaware she had just destroyed Song Shuhang’s telekinetic hand and kept charging ahead.

Song Shuhang’s primordial spirit quickly extended his hand to catch Soft Feather and gently spun her around to dissipate the force of impact.

“Senior Chu, what just happened?” Song Shuhang immediately inquired of Pavilion Master Chu.

Why did the telekinetic hand shatter upon contact with Soft Feather’s head? Since when had Soft Feather become so headstrong?

“For a moment there… A massive force erupted from Soft Feather’s body. The source of that power is peculiar, as if transmitted from afar,” Pavilion Master Chu explained.

Song Shuhang was at a loss for words.

After a moment of thought, Pavilion Master Chu speculated, “It might be a power transmitted from an entity bound to her by a contract, or one with her.”

“Celestial Thearch?” Song Shuhang immediately thought of the being who possessed Soft Feather’s ghost spirit.

But why would the Celestial Thearch suddenly unleash power and even transfer energy to Soft Feather?

What was she trying to pull?

“What’s wrong, Senior Song?” Soft Feather asked, puzzled.

“I’m fine,” Song Shuhang replied with a faint smile. “Did you enjoy that?”

Soft Feather nodded. “It was fun! But the distance was too short this time. Next time we travel a longer distance, we should try again.”

“Sure,” Song Shuhang agreed.

Meanwhile, he secretly sent a private message to the Celestial Thearch. “What just happened?”

“Don’t worry, Senior Song. With me here, nothing bad will happen on Spirit Butterfly Island! With my power, I can even rescue someone from death’s door if there’s an accident,” the Celestial Thearch swiftly responded.

Song Shuhang silently nodded. Indeed, with the Celestial Thearch’s strength and her countless treasures, not only serious injuries, but even accidental deaths could be reversed.

“By the way, what are you planning on Spirit Butterfly Island?” Song Shuhang asked again.

Initially, he hadn’t intended to probe further, but since he was chatting with the Celestial Thearch, he asked casually.

“I can’t tell you that, Senior Song. I’m afraid you’ll come and meddle. However, my target isn’t Spirit Butterfly Island, so don’t worry,” the Celestial Thearch replied.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

I’m not a troublemaker, I’m just unlucky. Disasters seem to find me and not the other way around.

The more the Celestial Thearch kept from him, the more curious he became. After the Spirit River Su Clan’s annual meeting, he’d consider visiting Spirit Butterfly Island with Soft Feather to see what the Celestial Thearch was up to.

“Talk to you later, I’m busy now,” the Celestial Thearch replied.

She seemed genuinely occupied. She was too busy even to transfer any energy today.

…

Song Shuhang ended his conversation with the Celestial Thearch.

At that moment, the black-skinned Soft Feather, Scarlet Heaven Sword, Lady Onion, the hamster, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, and the others all gathered around.

Song Shuhang donned his mask and neatly arranged all the pendants. “Let’s go to the inn ahead and check in. Soft Feather, have you been to the Spirit River Su Clan before?”

“Not really. I seldom left Spirit Butterfly Island,” Soft Feather shook her head.

In traditional cultivator sects, they did not permit cultivators below the Third Stage to leave the mountain. Generally, sect elders would accompany them on outings.

“That’s perfect. We’ll get to know the Spirit River Su Clan and familiarize ourselves with the surroundings,” Song Shuhang laughed.

As they conversed, a middle-aged man with a kindly demeanor emerged from the inn. He exuded the aura of a friendly neighbor.

The numerous auras released by Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, and the pendants, aside from Song Shuhang himself, had naturally attracted the attention of the Spirit River Su Clan members inside the inn.

“I am Su Moying. I apologize for not welcoming you earlier upon your arrival from afar,” Su Moying greeted Song Shuhang and the others with a bow.

Lady Onion’s eyes sparkled. “This is so exciting. It’s just like a TV drama!”

Su Moying was at a loss for words.

He quietly observed the figures before him.

First was a man wearing a mask, his identity indiscernible.

Next to him were twin girls, one in black and the other in white. They looked somewhat familiar.

“Ancient Sage Ling Die Zi!” When Su Moying focused on Soft Feather, he immediately recognized her due to the effect of her Sage Name, ‘No one in the world doesn’t know you.’

The identity of the masked man then became apparent.

“Su Moying greets Lord Spirit Butterfly and Ancient Sage Spirit Butterfly,” Su Moying said while bowing to Song Shuhang and Soft Feather.

“Senior Spirit Butterfly?” Song Shuhang looked around in confusion.

But he didn’t see Senior Spirit Butterfly.

“I think he might have mistaken you for Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly,” Pavilion Master Chu suggested.

“Hehe,” Soft Feather giggled while looking at Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang was momentarily stunned.

He recalled a wish he had the previous day.

In the future, he hoped to have a daughter as cute and beautiful as Soft Feather.
