Chapter 1121: Lady Onion wants to go on a vacation

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

True Monarch Eternal Fire: “...”

After another moment, the True Monarch replied, “Well, our scholarly faction was indeed able to collect a Heavenly City fragment that’s related to the Divine Beast Department. However, it has pretty much no research value.”

Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Why?”

True Monarch Eternal Fire gloomily said, “The fragment we got was a gigantic septic tank of the Divine Beast Department.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

So it was a septic tank...

It made sense though. There had to be some cultivators in the ancient Heavenly City that weren’t strong enough to go without eating. Therefore, it was not surprising that something like a septic tank existed.

Perhaps in an ordinary person’s imagination, fairy maidens and celestial beings had no need to take a dump. However, in actuality, some members of the ancient Heavenly City with insufficient strength would definitely have to answer the call of nature.

At this time, True Monarch Eternal Fire again said, “It’s a giant septic tank for handling the excrement of spirit beasts. It was simply a rip-off. Those guys in the Divine Beast Department had some screws loose, they made their septic tanks much more magnificent than palaces. Back then, our scholarly faction paid a huge price to get this Heavenly City fragment from the Green Demon Sect, and when we rushed to enter the palace, all we found was shiet.”

Eternal Fire should have also seen this story in the records of the scholarly faction. Shuhang could only imagine the seniors of the scholarly faction rushing into the septic tank palace only to find shiet. How stifled were their hearts?

Song Shuhang asked, “Is there really no research value at all?”

True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “Nothing at all... The fragment is still preserved. Little friend Shuhang, if you’re really interested, then I can bring you there and let you have a look.”

Song Shuhang said, “Thank you, Senior. Besides that, does the scholarly faction have anything else related to the Divine Beast Department?”

In the end, he decided to check out this septic tank built like a luxurious palace... Since it was a place related to the Divine Beast Department, he wanted to check it out. Who knew, perhaps there was some secret hidden within? Moreover, he could also rely on the ‘secret appraisal technique’ to identify a strand of hair, a drop of blood, and maybe identify some other things.

True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “We’ve got nothing else. Other than that palace-like septic tank, we don’t have anything related to the Divine Beast Department. The Divine Beast Department wasn’t a big force in the ancient Heavenly City to begin with, and the area they occupied wasn’t very large. In addition, their location was hit the worst when the ancient Heavenly City collapsed. I’m afraid that the territory of the Divine Beast Department might have been completely destroyed.”

Song Shuhang replied, “Thank you, Senior.”

True Monarch Eternal Fire replied with a smiley. “Little friend Shuhang, no need to be so polite .”

After Song Shuhang put away the phone, he looked at the time—it was almost seven in the morning. At this point, it was almost time for the seal on the big box which contained the monster fox to undo itself, right?

Today was September 13, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Starting from today, there’d be a small vacation.

Gao Moumou and the others were going home for the holidays today. In fact, many students had already gone home last night when the classes ended. It was just that Gao Moumou and the others wanted to get together and have a good chat at night, so everyone chose to return dormitory for one last night before the break.

Song Shuhang looked at how early it was, and thought to himself, Should I go back to Medicine Master’s building first?

As he pondered, he went to the kitchen and boiled some tea.

At this time, in his size-reducing purse, Lady Onion’s voice rang out. “Uhh... surnamed Song... I want to go on a vacation, can I?”

Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Vacation?”

Lady Onion seriously said, “Yes, I want you to give me two weeks... No, it’s best if it’s a month off.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Aren’t you already resting every day?”

Lady Onion said, “You know what I mean. I want to get out of this size-reducing purse and leave for a while.”

Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Do you think that’s possible?”

The enlightenment stone was extremely important to him because he could get twice the results with half the effort when practicing, and it was especially so when he was practicing martial arts.

Lady Onion had always wanted to run away with the enlightenment stone. As such, Song Shuhang didn’t dare to let her out of his sight. With Lady Onion’s desire for freedom, once she left Song Shuhang, she would never return.

Lady Onion said, “You and I have been together for months, can’t you trust me?”

Song Shuhang smiled. “Hehe.”

“Damned slow-witted fool, where has the trust between people gone?” Lady Onion said while gnashing her teeth.

Song Shuhang smiled. “Hehe.”

There could indeed be trust between people, but Lady Onion was not a human.

“Hehe your sister! Do you agree or not?” Lady Onion was angry.

Song Shuhang suddenly asked, “What are you going to do when you go on vacation?”

Lady Onion went silent for a moment, and then replied, “I had a dream yesterday. I dreamt about something that happened a long time ago.”

“What was it?” Song Shuhang’s eyebrows rose. He had once entered a dreamland on Lady Onion’s life.

It was an unforgettable memory... In the dream, he turned into a green onion, and he experienced extremely dull, tedious, and boring years in the wind and the sun for almost 200 years. It almost drove him crazy.

[If I were a green onion, I would choose to break my green onion kidneys––I would kill myself because this life is boring as hell!] This was the true portrayal of what Song Shuhang was thinking. Several times during that period of time, he could only pray that a little rabbit came and ate the green onion so as to end that boring life that lasted for centuries...

However, thanks to the experience from the dream, which could drive people mad, Song Shuhang’s heart had been polished and gained great tenacity. After that, even if he rapidly progressed in his cultivation, his will was never affected, which was greatly related to his experience of that more than 200 years of life as a green onion.

“I dreamt about my childhood. There was a pair of warm big hands that held me; those hands were so broad and warm that I didn’t want to leave them. Then, I was taken to a very high mountain. On the side, there was a forest and a clear stream,” Lady Onion said as she recalled.

Song Shuhang: “...” So it was this memory! The scene when ‘Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’ planted Lady Onion; he had also experienced it.

Lady Onion slowly said, “Later, the owner of those big hands planted me on the mountain, and he said to me: ‘Go on and grow, even the most ordinary green onion has an indeterminable and unlimited future. I would love to see to what extent you will grow to in the future. That’s something I truly want to see.’ Then, he said to me: ‘Remember where you were born, remember it firmly, and don’t forget it until the day you die... because your roots... are here.’ His voice was like heavenly lightning, each phrase accompanied by the voice of the Great Way. I don’t know why I dreamt of such a scene, but after having dreamt of it, that voice and those words were engraved in my mind. Every word is crystal clear.”

Song Shuhang nodded his head. Indeed, when he had entered the dreamland related to Lady Onion, he had also heard the words of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

Lady Onion earnestly said, “When I woke up, there was a voice in my heart telling me that I had to go to the place where I was planted. This is something of utmost importance! My roots are there. There’s something really important at the place where I was planted, and it’s waiting for me.”

Song Shuhang said, “I see, I understand.”

Lady Onion happily said, “So, are you going to allow me to go on vacation?”

Song Shuhang smiled again. “Hehe.”

Lady Onion exasperatedly said, “Hehe your sister! Yes or no?”

Song Shuhang thought for a while, and then he said, “Where are you going? Is it far away?”

“Yeah, it’s far. I used your phone and checked the map, it’s more than half of China away,” Lady Onion said, and then added, “Also, I’ve already prepared for the long trip. I used your online shopping account to buy a lot of things, such as jackets, climbing suits, food, drinks, and some jungle exploration equipment. They’re all going to be delivered to Medicine Master’s building and will arrive this morning at the latest.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

Damn, my new phone’s password was already discovered by Lady Onion? As for the money Lady Onion spent, Song Shuhang didn’t care. He was a cultivator anyway. To him, money was equivalent to dirt... Ah shiet, wait, he was still someone short on money!

He was different from the others in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Although he was already at the Fourth Stage Realm, he hadn’t practiced for long, so he had yet to establish his own channels for making money.

“Look, I’ve already prepared so much for this, can’t you just let me go? I promise that I will be back within two months. Actually, I can’t bear to leave you now, and I’m not joking. After all, by staying by your side, I don’t have to worry about cultivation resources, and I even often get the chance to listen to powerful teachings. I can’t just give up on all those great opportunities,” Lady Onion said.

Song Shuhang asked, “Then, do you want me to set you free?”

Lady Onion shouted, “Yes, yes, yes, of course I’d want that!”

Song Shuhang smiled “Hehe.”

Lady Onion: “...”

Song Shuhang said, “Today’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, after this, I’m going to have a one-week vacation. I’ll arrange everything today, and then I will take you to the mountain peak where you were planted. Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven planted you there and told you to not forget ‘the place where you grew up’. There has to be a reason he said so. Maybe he left an opportunity there for you.”

Lady Onion asked, “Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven? Do you mean to say that he’s that person with those broad and warm hands that planted me?”

Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “Yup.”

“How do you know that I was planted by Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven?” Lady Onion suddenly asked. “I never said anything about the appearance of the person with those gentle and warm hands! How did you guess his identity?”

This silly onion was actually smart every now and then.

Song Shuhang laughed, and said, “It’s a secret.”

Lady Onion suddenly became anxious, and said, “Did you do something bad to me? Are you a beast that doesn’t let off even a little green onion?”

Song Shuhang’s face froze. “Do you want to go where you grew up or not? If you don’t, you can go on. But if you want to go, then shut up.”

“Freedom of speech, I demand for the right to speak!” Lady Onion’s little face flushed.

Song Shuhang responded, “Even I don’t have the freedom to speak, and you actually demand it?”

In this time and age, saying the wrong words could cause one to be raided by the police for a thorough inspection and investigation...

Song Shuhang said, “In the afternoon, I’ll take you to your birthplace on the flying saber, so have a good rest and get ready. Right, do you want something to eat?”

Lady Onion replied, “I want a Saber Intent Condensing Lotus Seed. I want to condense saber intent!”
