2487 King Kun, A Senior I Respect

At that moment, King Kun was utterly disheartened.

The most profound despair in life is this: when you think you still have hope, only to have hope cruelly push you into the abyss of despair. The end of hope is the cruelest kind of despair.

When Fairy Creation took the egg of King Kun from Yuan Zi with a ceremonial flourish, King Kun knew it was all over. Literally, it was done for.

“Ta-da!” Fairy Creation joyfully held up the egg of King Kun like an athlete showing off her gold medal to the world.

Across from her, Tribulation Transcender Yuanzi stood expressionless and stunningly handsome, quietly safeguarding Fairy Creation’s happiness.

Song Shuhang, propping his chin with his hands, struggled to keep his head up without Fairy Creation’s support. It felt like his head might drop off his neck at any moment.

Maintaining his cutesy, chin-propped pose, Song Shuhang looked at King Kun and smiled, “Those who want to leave will eventually go…”

“…and those meant to stay will always find their way back!” Virtuous Lamia quickly interjected, stealing Song Shuhang’s line with impeccable timing.

Fairy Creation, holding the egg, began to sing, “Ah! Destiny is such a mysterious thing.”

“Senior Song, I haven’t practiced this line. How should I respond?” Soft Feather asked in a hushed tone.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

I don’t know how to respond either!

Just then, the White Dragon, transformed into a streak of white lightning, made a perfect landing and wrapped around Song Shuhang’s neck.

His head nearly took flight!

Song Shuhang did his best to steady his neck and posture while smiling. “Look, Big Sister White Dragon. King Kun still ended up coming to us.”

The White Dragon, gazing at the Kun egg in Fairy Creation’s hands, sighed. “If I’d known it would come to us, I wouldn’t have chased it so hard.”

“Without Golden Scarf Fairy’s relentless pursuit, King Kun might’ve already fled to another plane. So, Golden Scarf Fairy, you’ve really outdone yourself this time,” Pavilion Master Chu comforted her.

The White Dragon was at a loss for words.

Nearby, the four Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction stepped forward and captured the stoic, dashing Yuan Zi.

Despite still being unable to detect King Kun inside Yuan Zi’s body, the facts were clear that something was amiss.

They needed to take Yuan Zi to the golden lotus world for a thorough treatment.

“Tyrannical Song, we need to conduct a more comprehensive examination of Yuan Zi. We’ll meet in the golden lotus world,” Second Dumb Zi Wen stated.

“If my senior brothers need any help, just signal me. With a Cloud Piercing Arrow, I’ll come to the ends of the earth!” Virtuous Snake Beauty responded on behalf of Song Shuhang, quoting a line from an ancient drama.

The scholarly faction’s Four Tribulation Transcenders looked up at Song Shuhang.

“Yeah, that’s what I mean,” Song Shuhang nodded.

With a faint smile, the Four-Tribulation Transcenders led Yuan Zi towards the golden lotus world.

Even while being dragged away by his senior brothers, Yuan Zi maintained his dashing posture. A man handsome to the core doesn’t lose his charm, even when carried away.

King Kun was speechless and watched helplessly as Yuan Zi’s body was taken away.

“So, Shuhang, what are you planning to do with this Kun egg?” Pavilion Master Chu asked, the odd syllable at the end definitely not bubble-related.

“I’ve eaten Kun Rocs before,” the White Dragon nodded, “but I’ve never tried a Kun egg.”

“Kuns aren’t hatched from eggs,” Scarlet Heaven Sword chimed in helpfully. “They’re born from a fetus, so naturally, there are no Kun eggs.”

“That’s why this egg is so precious,” the White Dragon said.

King Kun remained silent, not daring to make a sound.

Song Shuhang stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Honestly, he hadn’t figured out what to do with King Kun.

Eating King Kun was obviously out of the question. He lacked the power and the teeth to consume an immortal-level Kun, let alone find an immortal chef who could cook it.

So, what to do with the egg?

“Would you sell yourself, Senior King Kun?” Song Shuhang suddenly asked.

The White Dragon was confused.

Pavilion Master Chu was startled.

Both fairies were stunned by Song Shuhang’s question.

The Kun egg in Fairy Creation’s hands trembled violently.

“To be honest, I felt an instant connection with you, Senior King Kun. When I first saw you, there was this natural affinity between us,” Song Shuhang continued.

“Don’t even think about it. I’d rather die than yield to you,” King Kun responded firmly.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

King Kun, preferring death to submission, was a tough nut to crack.

“By the way, Fairy Creation, what are you planning to do with King Kun?” Song Shuhang turned the question over to Fairy Creation, since Yuan Zi had brought the egg back for her as a gift.

After a moment of contemplation, Fairy Creation handed the egg over to Song Shuhang, transferring the responsibility of dealing with King Kun to him.

Had it been during the golden age of the scholarly faction, Fairy Creation might have used her teacher’s power to subdue King Kun. But now, she was helpless against the egg.

“Aren’t you going to eat it?” the White Dragon asked, somewhat disappointed.

“King Kun is a senior I respect. How could we possibly eat him?” Song Shuhang asserted righteously.

After that, he opened his cultivation chat friend list.

Since Senior King Kun was unwilling to sell himself for freedom, it was time to repay some debts.

He owed a huge karmic debt due to the recent use of the Karma Blade.

He sent the information about King Kun’s egg to Senior White, Senior White Two, Senior Scabbed Dragon, Lady Dragon Lattice, and the Heavenly Emperor, hoping one of them would be interested and help him settle some karma.

He also used the ‘Wealth Scattering Throne’ imprint to contact Senior Three-Eyed, sending the same information about the Kun egg.

“Seniors, anyone interested in the Kun egg?” Song Shuhang inquired.

“Ugly, rejected.” Scabbed Dragon was the first to reply.

“He doesn’t even have an eye. He doesn’t meet the requirements for me to take him in as a servant.” Senior Three-Eyed also replied.

“Ding ~ The message has been sent, but it has been rejected by the other party. Please try again after 15 days.” This was the feedback from the Celestial Thearch.

“No need.” Lady Dragon Lattice replied. She would politely decline the ‘Immortals’ of the main world. Not only did the Demon Emperor screw her over back then, but she also didn’t want to accept any more Immortals of the main world into the Black Dragon World.

“I’m busy.” The busy Senior White took his time to reply to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang looked at the egg.

As an immortal’s egg, King Kun simply couldn’t be sold!

His gaze fell on the name of the Almighty Merchant on his friend list. Should he reach out to this big shot?
