One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. Even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques. However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed...
The cultivation chat function didn't show a (deceased) status, so King Kun might be cautiously surviving in some unknown state!
"If I hadn't added Senior King Kun as a friend long ago, I might have been duped too," Song Shuhang said with a faint smile.
Maybe because his body was weak, his signature gentle laughter sounded somewhat sinister with the absence of its usual energy.
Sword shuddered. "Shuhang, your smile looks so evil."
Song Shuhang remained speechless.
"I searched thoroughly and couldn't find King Kun," Pavilion Master Chu murmured.
Stone Tablet said, "I got no response either. Could it be a network delay? Maybe King Kun died, but the signal hasn't reached you in time?"
Song Shuhang nodded slightly. "That's possible, but... let's prepare for the worst, just to be safe."
"The spatial lockdown is starting to lift. Do you need me to add another one?" asked White Dragon.
