“After all, I’m someone who faced the Heavenly Punishment and managed to keep his face intact,” Song Shuhang said proudly.

The demonic hamster let out a cute squeak. It then lay on Song Shuhang’s head and ruthlessly thrust its toothpick-sized sword at him. But in the end, only sparks flew out and no damage was done to Song Shuhang’s head.

Song Shuhang said, “Okay, enough fooling around. № Hamster, let’s get down to business.”

The demonic hamster snorted coldly and handsomely hung its sword at its waist. Afterward, it flicked its robes and jumped up. “Farewell!”

Song Shuhang hurriedly called out, “Huh? Wait, Ranzhen. We haven’t even talked about serious matters yet!”

“There aren’t any such matters.” № Hamster waved its paw at Song Shuhang and said, “My master only sent me here to check if you were still alive as he’s currently trapped and can’t see what’s going on in the main world.”

Song Shuhang was bewildered. “Did Senior White not give you a way to help me recover my body before sending you here?”

“Hehehe.” № Hamster’s mood improved all of a sudden. It let out a deafening laugh and said, “What a silly question, № Tyrannical Song. I already told you that my master is trapped and can’t check the situation in the main world. That was why he sent me here to check. In other words, he doesn’t even know that you only have a head left, so where am I supposed to get you a method to help you restore your body? This is just simple logic, isn’t it?”

№ Hamster’s words did make sense.

“Okay, № Tyrannical Song. Just soak yourself in this living spring. I’ll go back and report the good news to my master.” № Hamster cupped its fists and headed to the passage between the Inner World and the world of the black lotus.

Right before leaving, it turned to look back at Song Shuhang and said, “№ Tyrannical Song, how about you consider switching to a middle-aged look? Men better have a mature look.”

Song Shuhang rolled his eyes and said, “When I finally managed to revert to my original appearance, you want me to look like a middle-aged uncle again? Why would I do that?”

“Farewell!” After hearing his response, № Hamster left without looking back.

It suddenly felt like researching a certain topic when it got back.

Did the age of a person affect their character?

Was it true that when one turned into a child, they became more naive? And on the other hand, when a person became older, did they become calmer and more mature?

This research topic may prove to be very meaningful.

In the world of cultivation, there were numerous cases it could use as references for its study.

The cultivators who maintained a middle-aged appearance generally had a more mature mindset, and they were usually important figures in the world of cultivation.

On the contrary, cultivators who maintained a teen-like appearance often acted like children even when their realm was very high.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang asked, “Sixteen, do you think that I went too hard on it? Is that why № Hamster didn’t tell me how to restore my body?”

“So you do know that you were rending its heart, huh? Also, since you know that it might have come with a method to help you with the recovery of your body, why did you still rend its heart?” Sixteen was left dumbfounded by Song Shuhang’s actions.

Song Shuhang said earnestly, “To help it grow.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”

While they were talking, another sound came from the passage between the Inner World and the world of the black lotus.

After a short while, a muscular orangutan squeezed out of the passage.

“Yo, № Tyrannical Song, we meet again.” The Orangutan General waved at Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement, “Where’s № Hamster?”

The Orangutan General replied, “I came here to ask you what happened between the two of you. After № Hamster came back, it seemed very happy. After reporting to our master, it left and began laughing foolishly. It looked like it had taken the wrong medicine and gone crazy, so my master told me to come here.”

The Orangutan General had fully adapted to its identity as a pet of the ruler of the Netherworld. Its cultivation had immensely improved from before, and it was not far from ascending to the Ninth Stage.

It was laughing foolishly and wasn’t even angry?

Song Shuhang blinked.

№ Hamster might have really taken the wrong medicine today.

The Orangutan General said, “You’re truly amazing. I didn’t expect you to manage to stay alive despite only having your head left. № Tyrannical Song, your vitality is incredible.”

“Well, this tenacious vitality might be the only thing I have left right now.” Song Shuhang sighed.

“Eh, there’s another head there! That fairy was also left with just a head. Your vitality is really tenacious. You both only have your heads left, yet you look quite happy. No wonder № Hamster has gone silly after going back, it must have seen this scene of two heads floating in the water,” the Orangutan General said happily. “№ Tyrannical Song, where did you find another person with only their head left? Could you be planning to form a bodiless team?”

Pavilion Master Chu’s beautiful eyes drooped slightly. She was just floating in the pond quietly, why did she get targeted?

The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched slightly. “Let me introduce you to the fairy beside me… She is Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Chu, an Immortal.”

The Orangutan General was taken aback.

What? An Immortal?

Oh my god.

Then, everything before its eyes became a blur.

A whip made of hair appeared in front of it, striking its body and sending it flying away.

“Fwoom~”

While the Orangutan General was in mid-air, its protective technique, the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯, was activated.

Nearly 300 mighty Holy Ape projections appeared behind it.

Their formation was completely different from Song Shuhang’s Holy Ape Choir; these 300 hundred mighty Holy Apes formed a combat formation and emanated a chilling aura.

The Orangutan General skidded on the ground for a long while. After coming to a stop, it got up and smiled wryly.

Fortunately, this fairy was merciful and she only hit me with an attack with might at the Seventh Stage, so it didn’t actually hurt me.

“№ Tyrannical Song, I think I’ll talk to you from over here,” the Orangutan General shouted from afar. “My master has told me of several methods you can use to speed up the recovery of your body. Let me share them with you.”

Song Shuhang replied, “Alright, I’m listening.”

The Orangutan General shouted, “The first one is dying and then resurrecting. After you resurrect, everything should grow back.”

Song Shuhang shook his head. “I went through all this trouble just to survive. I don’t want to die for something so unimportant.”

“Okay, then let’s just skip this method and move on to the second one,” the Orangutan General said. He was about to tell № Tyrannical Song that its master had prepared a resurrection treasure for him. But since № Tyrannical Song did not want to die, then they could just forget about it.

“The second method can cure the symptoms but won’t solve the problem at the root. My master said that the other Senior White is researching the ‘steel body’. If you modify the design for the magical treasure a bit, you should be able to build a steel body for yourself. You can simply place your head on it and use it while waiting for your body to naturally recover.” The Orangutan General continued, “As for the third plan, it concerns the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯. There is a ‘General Principles Inheritance Chapter’ in the cultivation technique. You need to go to the Beast Realm’s Garre Holy Mountain to obtain this last piece of the cultivation technique, and then you can rely on it to forge a Holy Ape Dragon Body, which will be stronger than your previous body.”
