Chapter 2899: Spare My Dignity!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Shuhang didn’t want to deceive the Great Northern Emperor. If the “path of the Heavenly City” that the Great Northern Emperor and the others moved to the fragment of the Heavenly City in his Inner World was affected, their plans might fall apart, and Shuhang would feel uneasy.

“Is that a problem?” The Great Northern Emperor asked, noticing Shuhang’s troubled expression.

“Senior Beifang, it’s not an issue of trust. I’d gladly lend you my Inner World. However, if the fragment of the Heavenly City enters, I might lose something important,” Shuhang explained.

“Lose something? Are you worried that the fragment won’t be able to move out once fused with your Inner World? You don’t have to worry about that,” the Great Northern Emperor reassured. “Once our plan is completed, you can keep that part of the fragment. Only a few key fragments are needed for the Heavenly Court, and you can keep an eye on those.”

“No, that’s not it. My Inner World might absorb the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor from the ancient Heavenly City,” Shuhang clarified.

The Great Northern Emperor was taken aback. “The Dao of the Heavenly Court could also be absorbed?”

“Yes, and if that happens, it could jeopardize the ‘8.5 Heavenly Dao Plan’ that Cheng Lin and Slow-Witted Song mentioned. The plan requires a complete combination of the Dao of the Ancient Heavenly City and the Heavenly Emperor,” Shuhang explained.

“Can you control this?” the Great Northern Emperor asked.

“I can try, but it’s risky. My Inner World might instinctively absorb the Dao of the Heavenly City, like a fire burning a flammable object,” Shuhang said.

The Great Northern Emperor rubbed his forehead in frustration. He fell silent, communicating with someone remotely again. Shuhang waited patiently for his response.

At this moment, Senior White’s gaze fell on a spot behind Shuhang.

“What’s wrong, Senior White?” Shuhang asked.

“What kind of filling do you want?” Senior White asked abruptly.

“Are you still thinking about buns? How about a heart demon filling?” Shuhang joked.

“I wasn’t talking to you,” Senior White replied.

“???” Shuhang was confused.

Senior White handed Shuhang a bun filled with inner demons and then placed another bun with an ‘evil filling’ behind him. A soft voice behind Shuhang thanked Senior White.

It was then that Shuhang noticed a fairy floating in the air, half-lying on his back and fluttering like a flag. She placed her hands on his shoulders and rested her chin on his head while nibbling on the bun.

“Happy New Year in advance, Shuhang,” the fairy said sweetly.

“Happy New Year,” Shuhang replied, feeling an inexplicable closeness to her.

“What gift do you want this year?” Shuhang asked naturally.

“What gift do you want this year?” the fairy echoed, their thoughts seemingly in sync.

“Forget it. I’ll think of a gift myself,” the fairy waved her hand dismissively.

Shuhang smiled faintly and nodded. The fairy was both distressed and happy as she noted, “As your realm increases, our connection deepens. Soon, our thoughts might be completely synchronized.”

“You and I are one,” Shuhang recalled lines he had heard during the ‘Three Corpses Execution’.

“Wrong. You and I are one, but we are not one,” the fairy corrected, taking a big bite of her bun.

Pavilion Master Chu was bewildered by their exchange.

After a while, the Great Northern Emperor finished his remote communication. “Little friend Shuhang, we reached an agreement. Your Inner World can absorb the Dao of the Heavenly City, but during the ritual, please restrain it as much as possible. Is that okay?”

“Senior Beifang, I’ll do my best to help,” Shuhang agreed.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll make some adjustments to the Heavenly City fragment to suit your Inner World,” the Great Northern Emperor said, nodding at his Ah Gui.

“My lord, I need to stay with Tyrannical Song for a while to help find Lady Onion,” Senior Turtle said. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be safe.”

The Great Northern Emperor left, and soon after, several figures appeared beside Shuhang: Island Master Golden Trigram, Zither Master Phoenix Rites, and Immortal Fairy White Bones.

“Was Senior Beifang here just now?” Immortal Fairy White Bones asked.

“Yes, he was here to borrow the fragment of the Heavenly City,” Shuhang replied.

“Island Master Golden Trigram, I remember you have many fragments of the Heavenly City,” Shuhang added.

“You’re not thinking of taking my fragments, are you?” Island Master Golden Trigram retorted.

“Don’t worry, I’m the new Heavenly Emperor. Show me some respect!” Shuhang joked.
