8 Chapter 8: Another new Member

Just as the conversation began to calm down, Yellow Mountain, one of the group's core members, remembered his original intention and hastily added Soft Feather, his good friend's daughter, to the group. Doubting himself if he made a mistake again, he triple checked if he added the real one this time, which he finally after two mistakes was able to do.

[Spirit Butterfly Island's Soft Feather' has been added to Nine Provinces (1) Group]

As soon as the group notification appeared, the members of the Nine Provinces (1) Group eagerly welcomed the new addition.

However, before anyone could say anything else, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber chimed in, unable to contain his urge to seek death. "Oh, a fairy! Show us your photo and announce your three sizes! Maybe we should go on a date if you're pretty!"

Before sending this message this time, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber paused for a moment, remembering that True Monarch Yellow Mountain had mentioned Soft Feather was a third stage Battle King. Finally, he decided to send the message and tease this junior a bit.

But as soon as he hit send, he realized his mistake - the person who was online at that moment was not Soft Feather, but her father.

Feeling embarrassed and mortified, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber thought to himself, 'Oh no, what have I done! How could I make such a mistake? I hope he doesn't take my message too seriously.'

As the group members continued to chat, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's mind was preoccupied with his foolish mistake. He wondered how he could make amends and apologize to Soft Feather's father, hoping that his words hadn't caused too much offense.

Only after the other members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group reminded Thrice Reckless Mad Saber to look at the prefix of Soft Feather's name, which read 'Spirit Butterfly Island's', did he realize how grave the mistake he had made was. He had unknowingly insulted the father of Soft Feather, who was none other than the super fussy Venerable Spirit Butterfly himself.

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber could feel a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He knew how particular Venerable Spirit Butterfly was fussy over ever single little detail, and he could already imagine that this would not end well for him.

As he was pondering his mistake, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber heard a knock on his door. When he opened it, he saw the imposing figure of Venerable Spirit Butterfly standing in front of him, his expression stern and unforgiving.

"Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, let's have a talk," Venerable Spirit Butterfly said, his voice cold and unyielding.

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber knew that there was no way out of this. He had to face the consequences of his actions and make amends for his mistake. He followed Venerable Spirit Butterfly to a secluded location, where he was given a thorough reeducation on manners.

In the end, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber emerged from the reeducation a wiser and more reckless individual.

The atmosphere in the Nine Provinces (1) Group was tense after the recent drama involving Thrice Reckless Mad Saber. As the group tried to calm down and move on from the incident, I decided to ask a question that had been on my mind since I first read the original novel in my previous life.

"Venerable Spirit Butterfly," I wrote, catching everyone's attention. "I have always wondered, how did you manage to marry the daughter of my father's best friend? As far as I know, she should be an Eternal Life Being. I don't want to offend you, but you are merely a Spirit Venerable. How did you manage to seduce her?"

The group fell silent, surprised by my bold question. Nobody knew the background of Spirit Butterfly's wife before I mentioned it. After a moment of awkward silence, Spirit Butterfly chuckled.

After a moment, Venerable Spirit Butterfly replied, "It's a long story."

He went on to explain that when they first met, he was still a True Monarch. He had run into some trouble and was close to losing his life when she saved him. It was also after this encounter he decided to settle down and establish his Spirit Butterfly Island.

Over time, they grew closer, and she shared with him her knowledge and experience as an Eternal Life Being allowing him to become a Spirit Venerable. They quickly fell in love, but the path to their marriage was not an easy one. It took years of effort and dedication on Venerable Spirit Butterfly's part to prove himself worthy of her.

As for the age difference, Venerable Spirit Butterfly revealed that although his wife was much older than him, but according to him age had never really been a barrier to their love.

As the group listened to Venerable Spirit Butterfly's story about how he and his wife fell in love, a question began to form in the mind of the group members. Finally, a woman couldn't resist asking, "Venerable Spirit Butterfly, may I ask how you managed to have a child with your wife? I mean, since she's an Eternal Life Being, it should be impossible, right?".

She, like every other cultivator in this chat group, knew very well that it would be impossible for her to have children after she reached the Profound Sage stage, because the principles would have an effect on her body, making her sterile through reproductive isolation.

There was a moment of silence before Venerable Spirit Butterfly replied, "Actually, it was quite difficult. It took a tremendous effort on both our parts to make it possible."

He went on to explain that due to his wife possessing a Way of Eternal Life related to the Concept of Life, they were able to conceive a child. But the process was not easy. Due to him being a Spirit Venerable, it still required long, continuous lovemaking sessions and a lot of effort and determination on both their parts. After all, the stronger the cultivator, the harder it is to get descendants.

As he spoke, I could sense the discomfort in the group. They quickly realized that it was most likely this difficulty in producing a child that had contributed greatly to Venerable Spirit Butterfly developing a daughter-complex.

However, some of the stronger members in this group were intrigued by something else. They just learned that they can still have offsprings after becoming Profound Sages by possessing a Way of Eternal Life related to the Principle of Life.

It is also around this time that I decided to go back to the university dormitory, replacing the avatar that I sent there to attend for me with my main body, as I personally wanted to witness the next actions of our ex-main character.

As it was already late at night when I went there, my roommates were already sleeping. Having come to the conclusion that there would be nothing of interest left for me to do that day, I also went to bed.

The next few days were also quite boring as nothing much happened. Sometimes I thought I should speed up the time a bit to get to the more interesting events.

During this time, Medicine Master shared his new pill recipe, Trice Reckless couldn't suppress his urge to seek death and offended Spirit Butterfly again, while Song Shuhang concluded that all members of this chat group are deeply delusional. However, at the same time, he began to doubt if the things stated in this group were real.

The most interesting thing so far was that Soft Feather decided to go in search of a ghost. I thought about whether I should help her or not, before finally deciding to help her if fate wanted us to meet. I didn't have a look at my fate because, in my opinion, it would be rather boring to know the final outcome of it in advance.

But before that, there's still a modernized heavenly tribulation to watch. When reading the original, I was always intrigued why the Heavenly Tribulation, that didn't change since ancient times, suddenly changed.

Was it truly because of the weakness of Heavenly Way Liquid Metal Ball. After getting lost in my thoughts, thinking about why it modernized in the place and why it only occasionally happened, I decided to set out to secretly watch little Sixteens tribulation.

On second thought, I probably shouldn't call her little Sixteen because she's about four years older than me after all. After thinking about it and concluding that she had only herself to blame for having such a small body, I activated my space powers and opened a space gate.
