Chapter 297: I’m the same Nine Lanterns you enjoyed 300 years ago (2 in 1)

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

After shaking Song Shuhang’s hand vigorously, the old man in ancient attire left with a satisfied look on his face, leaving behind a stunned Song Shuhang.

After seeing Song Shuhang’s stiff expression, Tubo asked somewhat confused, "Shuhang, what did the old man tell you?"

"Nothing, he just said that we should enjoy our stay on the island," Song Shuhang replied.

"That’s it?" Tubo was even more confused. "Then, why do you have the face of someone that just got butt-raped?"

"..." Song Shuhang patted Tubo’s shoulder and said, "Tubo, once we go back, you should properly attend the language and literature class. The metaphor you used just now was very inappropriate."

Tubo was speechless.

At this time, Gao Moumou said, "Shuhang, do you believe the words of the old man? Do you really think it’s possible to leave the island by carrying out a transaction inside the tall tower in the ancient city?"

Gao Moumou hadn’t met a bizarre situation such as this before, but both in movies or games, it wasn’t usually so easy to leave once you were in this kind of situation, right?

With a smile, Song Shuhang said, "Whether it’s true or not, we’ll find out once we arrive there."

They wanted to leave this strange island; therefore, no matter if the old man in ancient attire was telling the truth or not, they would have to go in the tall tower and confirm it personally.

Everyone nodded silently and gazed toward the tall tower in the ancient city.

At this time, the businesswoman asked curiously, "You just said that the person inside the tower would conduct a fair transaction with us, right? However, we have nothing with us to make an equivalent transaction right now..."

After the plane crashed, they came out of the wreckage with great difficulty just to meet that weird troop of gorillas. Therefore, most of their belongings were still on the airplane, and they had next to nothing with them at this time.

As soon as the businesswoman finished talking, the complexions of many passengers changed!

The air hostess checked the things on her body and found a business card, a credit card, a handkerchief, a mobile phone, some keys, and other useless stuff.

With a bitter expression, she asked, "Will they accept this stuff when carrying out the transaction inside the tower?"

She wasn’t the only one in such a situation; a lot of passengers had bitter expressions on their faces after

The air hostess was scared by this sudden change.

The voice from before echoed in the Starry House once more and explained, "No need to be afraid. This is just a means to send you back, it won’t cause you any harm. Once you wake up, you’ll find yourself in your warm bed."

After hearing these words, the crowd recalled to mind the scene in front of the main gate and the choice between YES and NO... so that choice was really about being sent home or not!

After hearing this much, Joseph also heaved a sigh of relief—if that was the case, his daughter was also sent home when she was engulfed by the blazing light back on the plane.

Just like Joseph, a lot of people were relieved after hearing these words. It seemed that some of their family members or friends had disappeared while still on the plane.

After the air hostess, more and more passengers started to carry out their transactions.

The traded things were of various types; so many that it exceeded the imagination of those present.

Someone had to trade the leather coat they were wearing... someone their engagement ring...

Interestingly enough, the chubby breakdancer had to trade off a birthmark he had since he was little, obtaining a big necklace of fine gold in exchange that somewhat resembled a dog collar. The funny thing was that he was already planning to have that birthmark surgically removed, but now, not only he got rid of it for free, he even obtained a thick necklace of gold in exchange. He really struck it rich.

After looking at his screen, Tubo was stunned.

Because he was asked to trade a... syringe of fresh blood!

And he could exchange it for a bowl of meat soup similar to the one the old man served them before. Moreover, it was the only transaction he could carry out.

"A syringe of blood... and meat soup?" Tubo was confused.

However, he didn’t immediately carry out the transaction. He looked Gao Moumou in the eye and turned his head toward Song Shuhang.

After seeing the worried face of his roommates, Song Shuhang smiled as he said, "Guys, don’t waste time. Complete the transaction and quickly leave the island."

"What about you?" Gao Moumou asked. From the way Shuhang was speaking, it seemed he didn’t want to leave just yet.

"Don’t forget about Zhuge Zhongyang and Zhuge Yue! I have to look for them," Song Shuhang continued with a smile. "Don’t worry. As soon as I find them, I’ll come back to this place and leave."

"I see. In that case, make haste, alright?" Tubo said.

Song Shuhang nodded with a smile.

Tubo took a deep breath and accepted the transaction. Then, a delicious bowl of meat soup appeared in his hands... afterward, he was covered in flames and disappeared.

Gao Moumou, Yayi, Lu Fei, and Lu Fei’s elder sister also completed their transactions and disappeared like Tubo.

Finally, only Song Shuhang and Joseph were left in the Starry House.

"Teacher, let me accompany you!" Joseph said excitedly. He had decided to closely follow his teacher and witness his incredible power.

"You should also go back," Song Shuhang said with a smile. "Otherwise... we won’t be happy neighbors when the time comes."

After hearing Song Shuhang’s words, Joseph heaved a sigh. Then, he completed his transaction and changed into particles of light, disappearing.

Now, only Song Shuhang was left in the Starry House.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang heaved a deep sigh and showed the middle finger to this hall made of precious stones.

Then, he put his hands in his pockets and left the place without any hesitation.

When he left the hall, he felt that zero gravity feeling once more.

In the next instant, he reappeared at the entrance of the tall tower.

"Oh? Little friend Song Shuhang, how come you didn’t carry out the transaction and left?" After seeing Song Shuhang, the old man in ancient attire wasn’t surprised and laughed foolishly.

"Old man, what’s the point of asking if you already know the answer?" Song Shuhang furrowed his brows. "Since the beginning, the Starry House had no intention of letting me carry out the transaction, right?"

When he was inside that hall, everyone had an interface in front of them to carry out the transaction... everyone except Song Shuhang—this happened even if he had many treasures with him.

Song Shuhang was absolutely sure that it was intentional.

"Hehe." The old man in ancient attire laughed joyfully. Then, he took out that bowl of meat soup once more and said, "Won’t you eat it?"

Song Shuhang took the bowl and clenched his teeth, saying, "Old man, speak clearly. Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"If I were to tell you that you couldn’t carry out the transaction because you didn’t eat the meat soup, would you believe it?" The old man heartily laughed.

Song Shuhang gave him a supercilious look.

"Drink it while it’s hot. Anyway, if I had evil intentions, I could just make you drink the soup through unconventional means." The old man laughed foolishly.

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and grabbed the bowl of meat soup, starting to drink it. "You can talk now, right? Who are you? Why were you looking for me?"

"Youngster! This is actually a good question!" the old man in ancient attire said with a smile.

Next, the old man stretched his hand and tapped on his forehead. His gray hair disappeared, leaving behind a smooth and shining bald head.

Afterward, his humpback also disappeared and his back straightened; his face also changed. In the blink of an eye, it changed into a heroic face with starry eyes and slanted eyebrows. But none of them were enough to overshadow the elegance of this person.

"Young benefactor... I’m the same Nine Lanterns you enjoyed 300 years ago!" the bald girl in front of Song Shuhang said with a smile on her face as she joined her palms together.

"Pfff..." Song Shuhang immediately spurted out all the soup in his mouth.
