Chapter 714 - The fifth tail and the mud-like Doudou
Chapter 714: The fifth tail and the mud-like Doudou
The world was vast and full of strange things!
Inside the room, Senior Sister Ye Si asked out of curiosity, “Shuhang, why are you absent-mindedly standing at the entrance of the room?”
“Ahaha.” Song Shuhang laughed, and put the newspaper away. Then, he said, “Senior Creation gave me the text of a song. It’s the tailor-made theme song of the movie we are shooting. Right, Senior Sister Ye Si, do you want to try to sing it?”
Just as he was speaking, he glanced at True Monarch White Crane, who was in deep thoughts, resting its chin in its hand.
True Monarch White Crane’s current form looked rather feminine. Such being the case, could it be also regarded as one of the fairy maidens of the Nine Provinces Number One Group? Should he give the lyrics of the song to True Monarch White Crane too?
“Theme song? Good, let me take a look.” Senior Sister Ye Si smiled and stepped forward, taking the notebook with the text of the song from Song Shuhang’s hands.
Afterward, she opened the notebook and glanced at it.
After a short while, she raised her head and looked at Song Shuhang with teary eyes, just as though he was about to cry.
“What happened?” Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement.
“I can’t read. I can’t understand a single character,” Senior Sister Ye Si said. After leaving the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and returning to Earth, she hadn’t studied the simplified Chinese characters used in the modern era yet.
“Ahaha. In a while, I’ll read it aloud for you,” Song Shuhang comforted her.
“Alright. It seems the only way.” Ye Si returned the notebook in her hands to Song Shuhang. “Right. Shuhang, I heard that every movie has a name. What’s the name of the movie we are currently shooting?”
“The name of the movie? Eh? Wait a moment... what’s the name of the movie?” Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide. He suddenly discovered that there was a problem... he himself had no idea what the name of the movie he was participating in was!
He was the ‘sponsor’ of the movie, and the writer of the script was his dear friend Gao Moumou... and yet, he didn’t know what the name of the movie was!
Ye Si asked, “You don’t know?”
“Well...” Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. Then, he turned his head around, and looked at Yu Jiaojiao, asking, “Jiaojiao, what’s the name of this movie we are shooting?”
“Eh? Why are you asking me!” Yu Jiaojiao used one claw to push away Doudou, who was rolling on the bed, and pondered for a moment, saying “❮Cultivators Versus Fantastic Beasts❯?”
“Is that title something you just thought of...?” Song Shuhang couldn’t help but ridicule her.
Yu Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, and continued, “It won’t do? In that case, how about ❮Super Cultivator Ling Ye❯?”
“...” Song Shuhang said, “Jiaojiao, I didn’t ask you to give a name to the movie... I asked you if you knew the name of the movie we are shooting.”
“I don’t know.” Yu Jiaojiao cutely blinked her eyes, and said, “Wasn’t your friend Gao Moumou the one that wrote the story? You should ask him.”
“...” Song Shuhang nodded his head. Then, he took out his mobile phone, and dialed Gao Moumou’s number.
❄️❄️❄️
Gao Moumou had already woken up, and was enjoying some quality time with his girlfriend Yayi early in the morning.
But right at this time, his phone suddenly rang.
Who was this person that didn’t know when someone was flirting? Gao Moumou furrowed his brows.
Yayi smiled and passed him the phone.
Gao Moumou sighed, and took the phone. It was Song Shuhang’s number. Gao Moumou picked up the phone, and said, “Shuhang, I’ll give you three seconds to tell me why you called. You’d better speak quickly. 1, 2...”
“What’s the name of the movie we are shooting?” Song Shuhang quickly asked.
“Ah?” Gao Moumou furrowed his brows, and said, “Up until now, you didn’t know what the name of the movie was?”
“Ahahahaha.” Song Shuhang made a hollow laugh.
Gao Moumou clenched his teeth, and asked, “I wrote the name on the script! The name of the movie is ❮Apocalypse War❯! Of course, this name is just for reference, and you can change it at any time. Do you have any other question?”
Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and said in a serious tone, “Ah, there is another matter too.”
“Speak up!” Gao Moumou said.
“If you want to make out with Yayi early in the morning, you’d better hurry up. In a while, we’ll leave this place and head toward the next shooting location; there isn’t much time left.” Song Shuhang didn’t forget to kindly remind his friend.
“...” Gao Moumou.
“In that case, see you later, Old Gao. Say good morning to Yayi on my behalf.” Song Shuhang quickly hung up the call.
Then, he turned his head around, and said to Yu Jiaojiao and Ye Si, “The name of the movie is ❮Apocalypse War❯. Of course, it’s just a temporary title, and it can be changed if necessary. We can ask for Senior White’s opinion as soon as he comes out of his cocoon. After all, he’s the main character of the movie. At that time, we can decide by vote which one sounds better.”
❮Apocalypse War❯ was a rather common title. It wasn’t too striking, but it wouldn’t get neglected after a glance, either.
Yu Jiaojiao nodded, and used her claws to push the nearby Doudou to one side. “It sounds much better compared to those names I came up with. If we can’t come up with anything better, we can use this name, I guess.”
Just as they were discussing, the nearby Doudou suddenly stood up with a roll. Both his eyes lit up as he stared at a big cocoon hanging from one of the corners of the ceiling; it was Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s cocoon.
A sound was transmitted from the cocoon... Young Master Phoenix Slayer was about to come out!
“Uh~” Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s growled from within the cocoon. Soon after, a sharp sword pierced the cocoon in an attempt to slash it open.
“It’s time, it’s time,” Doudou said with a smile.
The huge cocoon was currently wrapped in layer upon layer of adhesive tape, and Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s sword was unable to cut open that layer of tape with just one slash.
The Daily Cultivator was worthy of being a worldwide famous newspaper. Even the content of the ads displayed there was accurate and not exaggerated in the least. The description of the strength and durability of the tape Doudou bought was quite on point.
“Ahahaha.” Doudou lay on his stomach, and laughed. Then, he said while rolling, “Stupid Phoenix Slayer, this dog god has wrapped your whole cocoon in a thick layer of adhesive tape. There is no way you can come out this easily!”
“...” Young Master Phoenix Slayer inside the cocoon.
“Ahaha. It’s a shame that the tape isn’t transparent, because I would love to see your face while you are making a fool out of yourself. It would be such an interesting experience!” Doudou said smugly. He had waited all night for this moment.
He was completely satisfied now, and his mood was excellent!
The corner of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched upon seeing the scene, and he couldn’t help but remind Doudou, “Doudou, shouldn’t you be running away at this time?”
“Hmph. Shuhang, don’t you understand?” Doudou said proudly. “One can’t escape forever. In addition, I’ll have to go on stage in a while to participate in the shooting of the movie. Even if I escape now, I’ll meet Phoenix Slayer during the shooting of the movie. Since the final outcome is going to be the same, what’s the point of escaping?”
Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
Holy shiet, Doudou’s thinking was too deep!
This had far surpassed Senior Thrice Reckless’ level. Whenever Thrice Reckless Mad Saber sought death, he would do so with the intention of seeking death, but not dying. Although he would frequently lose control while seeking death, almost dying in the process, his original intention was still to ‘seek death, but not die’. As a matter of fact, his motto was precisely ‘reckless, but no more than thrice’.
However, Doudou was seeking death while clearly knowing that he would end up dying!
❄️❄️❄️
“Very well, Doudou!” Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s gloomy voice was transmitted from the cocoon.
Soon after, a big and sharp claw suddenly pierced through the cocoon; dim flames were burning above the claw. After that, the sharp claw gently ripped apart the various layers of adhesive tape that Doudou had wrapped around the cocoon.
Immediately after the cocoon and the layer of tape were ripped open, Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s devilish and bewitching figure appeared before their eyes. At this time, there were five long and thin tails swaying behind his body.
After seeing the five tails behind Phoenix Slayer’s body, Doudou said in surprise, “Y-you actually grew out your fifth tail!”
“Hehehe...” Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed his glasses up, with cold light refracting from his lenses. “I was surprised too. I didn’t expect that I would be able to grow this fifth tail that was taking so long time with the help of the demodragon medicine.”
The fact that he had grown a fifth tail meant that he had learned a fifth racial innate skill. “Doudou, you are just in time to taste the newly awakened innate skill of my fifth tail!”
“Wait a moment. Have you already tested the innate skill of your fifth tail?” Doudou cried out. Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s race was very special. After advancing a great realm, they would have the chance to grow a new tail, and whenever they managed to grow one, they would awaken a ‘racial innate skill’.
That innate skill that reminded Song Shuhang of the CPU of a computer was the innate skill of Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s fourth tail.
“I haven’t tested it yet. But since you are here, I can test it on you.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer smiled coldly. He pushed his glasses up and stared at Doudou with a cold expression on his face.
Behind his body, his fifth tail moved, and mysterious and profound runes suddenly appeared.
“Don’t act unreasonably, you idiot. I don’t want to be your guinea pig!” Doudou shouted. His body instantly moved and dashed toward the window, ready to break through it and run away. Earlier, he was fearless and ready to face death, but now, all his courage had disappeared.
“Are you trying to escape?” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said in a soft voice. “It’s useless. My innate skill took effect as soon as I came out of the cocoon.”
“What?” Doudou said in a panic.
“The innate skill of my fifth tail is a ‘liquefying skill’. It sounds like a very ordinary skill, but at the same time, it’s very interesting.” In the next moment, Young Master Phoenix Slayer gently clapped his hands, and said, “Crumble to the ground, Doudou!
“Bang~”
Doudou’s head slammed into the glass of the window. However, the fragile glass didn’t break. On the contrary, it was Doudou’s body that crumbled to the ground.
Actually, the word ‘crumble’ wasn’t really appropriate to describe the scene. At this time, Doudou was like a bucket of water thrown against the glass of the window; he scattered all in all directions, and fell to the ground.
On the ground, the mud-like Doudou slowly gathered together. However, he was unable to assume his original appearance of a pekingese. He could only slither on the group like a slime.
“Aaaaah! Phoenix Slayer, what have you done to me? Where are my paws? Where is my tail? Even my p*nis is gone!” Doudou screamed.
Song Shuhang and the others looked at the mud-like Doudou on the ground with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
This ‘racial innate skill’ was truly scary!
“Just as its name implies, my liquefying skill is a skill that can transform my enemies and other substances into liquid. However, the success rate is rather low, and it works only around 30% of the times.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed his glasses up as he explained how his skill worked with an indifferent look on his face.
