Chapter 718: Is this retribution?

Around five minutes later…
Song Shuhang was still pressed beneath the cocoon, and Venerable White had yet to wake up.
The members of Jacob’s Production Team had already headed toward the next filming location and started to set up the scene.
Fairy Lychee was going to be the central female character of the next part of the movie. As such, she headed toward the filming location in advance. Most of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group likewise proceeded there.
Only Yu Jiaojiao, Ye Si, and True Monarch White Crane stayed behind and accompanied Song Shuhang.
True Monarch White Crane wanted to protect the two cocoons.
Yu Jiaojiao had had a small breakthrough recently, and was thus always staying together with Song Shuhang to freeload the effects of the enlightenment stone to enhance her comprehension skills and increase the speed of her cultivation.
Ye Si waited next to Song Shuhang out of curiosity, and continued to study simplified Chinese characters. Her efficiency while studying was incredibly high, and she had already mastered most of the basic vocabulary.
❄️❄️❄️
“When will the shooting of the movie start?” Song Shuhang asked with a sigh. The fact that the cocoon was crushing him wasn’t a big deal… the problem was that he was in the public square of the White Cloud Academy.
As such, there would often be some scholars passing by, and some of them would gather around the huge cocoon and stare at Song Shuhang.
Actually, that didn’t bother him too much, either. Song Shuhang felt that the skin of his face had thickened quite a bit recently. Therefore, he remained unfazed even with all these people watching him.
Still, what was the deal with these pedantic scholars seemingly getting in a poetic mood after gathering around and watching him…?
Yu Jiaojiao replied, “They have to set up the whole scene and the cameras. It will take some time.”
Ye Si squatted beside Song Shuhang, and asked, “Right. Shuhang, your hair grew very quickly… but your eyebrows disappeared.”
“My eyebrows were burned to ashes when I transcended the tribulation some time ago.” Song Shuhang faintly sighed, and said, “Afterward, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group felt that the character I was cast as, Senior Brother Gao Sheng, looked very good without eyebrows. As such, I haven’t had the opportunity to draw some fake eyebrows up until now.”
Ye Si asked out of curiosity, “In that case, what about your hair? Your eyebrows were reduced to ashes, but your hair wasn’t?”
“Ahaha, I have my hair because I managed to learn a very good magical technique from Senior Creation,” Song Shuhang said smugly.
Ye Si asked, “What magical technique?”
“The hair growing technique!” Song Shuhang explained. “Even if one is bareheaded, they can grow their hair back through the hair growing technique. The only problem is that it’s not too easy to control. Sometimes, one’s hair would grow only a few millimeters, but other times, it would grow endlessly.”
“It seems very interesting. Shuhang, can you use this technique and show me?” Ye Si asked out of curiosity.
There was some time left before the shooting of the movie started, and Senior White wasn’t going to wake up any time soon… Since they were bored and had nothing better to do, they might as well look at this technique.
“Alright, I’ll use it once to show you,” Song Shuhang said.
Then, he used the ‘hair growing technique’.
Up until now, nothing too exaggerated happened after he had used the hair growing technique.
But this time, perhaps because he was too close to Venerable White, the effects of the hair growing technique directly skyrocketed into outer space.
His black hair endlessly grew, without any sign of stopping~
“Jiaojiao, Ye Si, it seems there is something wrong with the hair growing technique this time!” Song Shuhang said.
Yu Jiaojiao said, “Your hair is still growing, and hasn’t stopped yet. If we count the original length of your hair too, the total length has already reached three meters.”
Three meters long hair… that was something quite exaggerated. It was more than one meter longer than Song Shuhang’s entire body! But what was worse was that his hair was still growing.
Ye Si added, “It’s closing in three meters and a half now.”
Yu Jiaojiao continued, “It’s still growing… if it keeps growing, it will look very scary.”
“Everything that is happening is beyond my control. The effects of the hair growing technique are completely random, and I can’t control the length at all. Hopefully, it will stop growing soon.” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Then, the effects of the hair growing technique finally came to an end. At this time, Song Shuhang’s hair was almost five meters long. If stretched out, it would reach the height of a two-story building.
“…” Song Shuhang.
He sighed, and then said, “My hair has grown too much. Ye Si, can you help me trim it a bit?”
“Sure!” Ye Si gazed at Song Shuhang’s long hair and prepared to use her finger as a sword to trim his hair.
But right at this time, Yu Jiaojiao suddenly said, “Ye Si… Senior Sister Ye Si, wait a moment!”
“?” Ye Si was confused.
“We can cut his long hair in a while. The shooting of the movie hasn’t started yet, and I just happened to have something in mind,” Yu Jiaojiao said.
“Ah?” Song Shuhang had a bad feeling.
“For example… something like this!” Yu Jiaojiao spread out Song Shuhang’s hair, making it assume the shape of a fan. Then, she separated it and turned it into crescent moons, arranging it in a clockwise direction.
Ye Si asked out curiosity, “What is this?”
“Hmm… I don’t know, either. But I feel that it’s very amusing,” Yu Jiaojiao replied. While speaking, she took out her mobile phone and took several pictures of Song Shuhang.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Why did he find this scene so familiar?
“Eh! Song Shuhang looks rather strange without eyebrows. Shuhang, don’t you have an eyebrow growing technique?” Yu Jiaojiao asked.
“Who would even bother creating such a magical technique!” Song Shuhang ridiculed, and said, “Moreover, if it’s just eyebrows, you can simply draw them.”
Yu Jiaojiao replied, “I’m sorry. Although I’m a female monster fish, I don’t have eyebrows.” After she had said this much, she turned her head toward Ye Si.
“I also haven’t drawn eyebrows for a very long, long time.” Ye Si slowly turned her head away. She was now a ghost spirit, and ghost spirits didn’t need to apply make-up!
“…” Song Shuhang.
“Forget it. Although you look a bit strange without eyebrows, I’ll still take some pictures,” Yu Jiaojiao said.
After a short moment…
Yu Jiaojiao used Song Shuhang’s long hair to create a hairstyle that reminded one of a river crab. Although Yu Jiaojiao only had two small paws, her paws were extremely fast and agile.
Then, aside from the crab hairstyle, she also tried out the swordfish, flood dragon, lobster, and other hairstyles.
Song Shuhang’s five-meter-long hair allowed her to create all the animal shapes she wanted. Of course, she didn’t forget to take a picture of each hairstyle, keeping them as a memento.
Then, Ye Si also got interested, and joined the group, starting to fiddle with Shuhang’s hair and creating all sorts of different styles.
Ye Si’s hands were even faster and more agile, and were able to mold his hair into the shape of a palace.
“Senior Sister Ye Si, your skills are incredible.” Yu Jiaojiao took several pictures, and said, “Later, I’ll use these pictures to create an expression package.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
He had finally remembered where he had seen this scene before.
Some time ago, he and Soft Feather had tossed and turned the poor Senior White who had suddenly decided to meditate, trying bun-styles, ponytails, and twin-tails on him!
Was this retribution for what he did back then?
❄️❄️❄️
But right at this time, saber light streaked across the sky. The saber light stopped for a short moment above the heads of Song Shuhang and the others, and descended in the vicinity of the public square immediately after.
Su Clan’s Seven and Su Clan’s Sixteen had arrived.
After landing, Seven and Sixteen headed in Song Shuhang’s direction. “Little friend Shuhang, hasn’t the shooting of the movie started yet? In addition, what kind of game are you playing at this time?”
“Senior Seven, Sixteen, you are finally here.” Song Shuhang smiled and waved his hand. “The members of Jacob’s Production Team have already headed toward the filming location, and are preparing the scene. As for me… this cocoon is currently crushing me, and I can’t free myself.”
“The cocoon is crushing you?” Su Clan’s Sixteen looked in puzzlement at the cocoon crushing Song Shuhang’s body.
“Can’t you just move the cocoon away?” Su Clan’s Seven took a step forward and stretched out his hands, grabbing the huge cocoon. “Even if it’s big, it shouldn’t be that heavy, right?”
After a short moment…
Su Clan’s Seven shook his hands, and said, “This cocoon is incredibly heavy. I wasn’t able to move it at all. Who is inside this thing?”
“It’s Senior White,” Song Shuhang said with a bleak expression on his face.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked out of curiosity, “And why is Senior White crushing you with his cocoon?”
The corner of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched. “Since Senior White was refusing to get up and didn’t want to come out of his cocoon, I picked up the cocoon and started to shake it in the hope of waking him up… but I ended up in my current predicament as a result.”
“Hehe. Little friend Shuhang really knows how to seek death,” Su Clan’s Seven said with a smile.
At this time, Su Clan’s Sixteen squatted beside Song Shuhang and gave him a letter of invitation. “Shuhang, I’ll give this to you. This is a letter of invitation to the Immortal Feast. Your name is already written on it.”
It was something that Su Clan’s Seven had promised Song Shuhang back then.
“Thank you.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and took the invitation card. At the same time, he took a vial of demodragon medicine from his size-reducing purse and gave it to Sixteen. “Sixteen, this is for you.”
“What is this?” Su Clan’s Sixteen asked in puzzlement.
“It’s a mutated demodragon medicine. After drinking it, you will start spitting silk and will be able to spin a cocoon,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Similarly to how Venerable White spun this cocoon?”
“Yeah, that’s it. Therefore, you’d better learn how to spin a cocoon before drinking the medicine,” Song Shuhang reminded.
“…” Su Clan’s Sixteen.
“The efficacy of the medicine is very high, and it can greatly strengthen the constitution of whoever drinks it,” Song Shuhang also added.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Becoming the same as you, and getting those explosive muscles?”
“My case was a little special, ahaha. Senior Phoenix Slayer, Senior Snow Wolf, and True Monarch White Crane didn’t become muscular like me after drinking the demodragon medicine. Therefore, you can use it without worries,” Song Shuhang said. “If your constitution becomes stronger, you will have it easier while transcending the tribulation.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen took the vial of demodragon medicine, and said, “Thank you. This vial of demodragon medicine will surely come in handy. As such, I’ll be impolite and accept it!”
Strengthening her constitution was something that would surely help her in the future.
She would try to repay this favor as soon as Song Shuhang came to the Spirit River Su Clan to train in the spiritual veins.
“You are welcome,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “In addition, Shuhang—”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator quickly came over from afar, and shouted at Song Shuhang, “Little friend Shuhang, the shooting of the movie is about to start. Venerable White hasn’t woken up yet?”
“It’s finally starting? I’ll immediately tell Senior White to wake up,” Song Shuhang said with a laugh.
