Chapter 91: A Short Trip Home
Hey there, Yozuka here!
So there's been quite a few discussions about the grey colour of Sheng Feilong's new Soul Ring and I wanted to clear your doubts for now:
The grey-red Soul Ring has nothing to do with Electrolux.
The weird colouration is due to the influence of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon itself, which will be explained in detail in the future!
Without further ado, please enjoy todays chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sheng Feilong was shocked by She Meixiao's sudden proposal and didn't really know how to reply to her. Stealthily glancing at Song Weihan, he saw the latter shrugging, indicating for Sheng Feilong to decide for himself.
Thinking about the matter for a moment, Sheng Feilong decided to accept her offer. He took a step back, bowing deeply to She Meixiao and spoke in a clear voice. "Disciple Sheng Feilong greets Master!"
Song Weihan's eyebrows lifted up in surprise. When accepting a Master, it was custom to kneel down and bow, but Sheng Feilong didn't do so. Naturally, as he already had a Master, kneeling to both of them would mean to put them both on the same pedestral, but by kneeling to one and just bowing to the other, Sheng Feilong was clearly showing that he put Song Weihan in a higher place than She Meixiao.
Song Weihan couldn't help but smile; Sheng Feilong really had become crafty. By taking She Meixiao as his Master, he was giving himself a higher status in Daedalus, while still still maintaining his loyalty to Song Weihan. Like this, he was saving himself the option of being able to bail out of Daedalus and return to Song Weihan's side if need be.
Naturally, She Meixiao understood all of this, as well. She also couldn't help but praise Sheng Feilong in her heart, but was still a bit displeased. Although she didn't know whether Sheng Feilong had kneeled and bowed to Song Weihan before, it was more than likely. Still, she decided to let this slide as she and Sheng Feilong had only met today for the first time, so it was understandable that he didn't fully trust her.
She Meixiao then gave Sheng Feilong a badge. It looked similar to the one he got when he joined Daedalus earlier, but this new one had more decorations to it. She Meixiao smiled light and kept looking at the slightly confused Sheng Feilong. "This is an identity token. Unlike your normal one, which just identifies you as a member of Daedalus, this one is a little special; it signifies you as my own disciple. As long as you keep it on you whenever you're at Daedalus, you'll be able to freely roam around at nearly all sections of the headquarters."
She turned around, facing Song Weihan this time and spoke up with a bright smile. "I think it would be best if you left now. As promised, we'll get everything ready within one week. I will be awaiting you then." Finishing her sentence, She Meixiao turned around for good, leaving in the same direction they had come before, probably returning to her office.
Confused by the sudden change, Sheng Feilong looked at Song Weihan with a questioning gaze. The latter just smiled lightly and beckoned for Sheng Feilong and Sheng Lingtian to follow him out. With Sheng Feilong's identity as a member of Daedalus and She Meixiao's disciple, there wasn't any problem for them to get to the exit; Song Weihan remembered the way perfectly, while no one dared to stop them as Sheng Feilong was with them.
Stepping out of the headquarters, they were once again inside the small, rural village. It was the first time for Sheng Feilong to see the outside of Daedalus' headquarters and he was naturally somewhat stunned. Sheng Lingtian quickly explained to him where they were while readying his Purple Mecha for the return.
Song Weihan decided to fly using his own power as Sheng Lingtian's Mecha could only take two people. On the long way back to their new home, Sheng Feilong asked his father about the happenings f the last few days, especially the fight with Shrek Academy; He knew that Shrek was somewhat at fault about the incident concerning his safety and was really touched that his Master and father would go so far just for him, but objectively speaking, he didn't think that fighting Shrek Academy was the right thing.
Sheng Lingtian told him about everything that led up them attacking Shrek Academy, while conveniently leaving out the facts about the Sheng Clan's fate, causing Sheng Feilong to 'confirm' his guess that his Master and father had gone to war just for his sake. Seeing his father's disgruntled expression when speaking about the topic, Sheng Feilong didn't ask further.
A few hours later, they finally reached their destination; Song Weihan's hometown in the south, where the new laboratory and Sheng Feilong's and Sheng Lingtian's new house were. Sheng Feilong was excited about visiting the new house, but was quickly stopped by Song Weihan who asked him to wait for a while longer. He then went into the laboratory and came back after a few minutes, with Sheng Feilong's Spacial Ring in his hand.
Sheng Feilong smiled brightly and followed Sheng Lingtian to the new house. Conveniently, it was quite close to the laboratory. It didn't look like much from the outside, but was located in a quiet corner of the town, making it a good place for cultivation. Stepping inside, Sheng Feilong was surprised to see that it looked really similar to their house in Heaven Dou City; Only the layout of the rooms was somewhat different.
Finding his way to his own room with Sheng Lingtians help, Sheng Feilong couldn't help but smile; This new room looked exactly like his old one in Heaven Dou City. Sheng Lingtian had even placed a few pens, paper and the likes on his desk the same way as before! He sat down on his bed, checking the things in his Spacial Ring for a moment. Everything was still there, including his heavy twin swords, the manuals he bought from Shrek using his contribution points, and all the other stuff.
Returning to the living room, he saw his father preparing dinner in the kitchen and quietly waited, shrinking away from the duty of helping out. After dinner, Sheng Feilong spend the evening with his father before going to bed early.
The next week flew by in a breeze and Sheng Feilong spent most of the time either cultivating or accompanying Song Weihan in the laboratory. He was still really interested in the manufacturing of Artificial Soul Bones and the excuse of saying that the Doomstinger Dragonfly's External Soul Bone is a prototype for Artificial External Soul Bones just gave him all the more reason to be part of their team.
The members of the research team were also quite fond of Sheng Feilong; His quick wits, respectful tone and earnest curiosity made all of them all the more enthusiastic about their work and as he was Song Weihan's personal disciple, they didn't have any hesitations about telling him about the projects.
On the seventh day, exactly one week since they had come back, Song Weihan brought all of the team together to tell them about his plans. Sheng Feilong was also present and heard that Song Weihan planned to have their team join Daedalus. Many of the researchers were confused as they didn't know what Daedalus was, but upon hearing Song Weihan's explanations that they were a huge, hidden organisation operating all over the Douluo Continent, all of them were convinced.
Honestly, isn't wasn't a problem for them to just pack all of their stuff and relocate the laboratory somewhere else; They didn't have most of the machinery to create new Artificial Soul Bones yet, anyways! Like this, in less than 2 hours, all of them were ready to set out.
Sheng Feilong used this time to quickly talk to Song Weihan about this. As far as he knew, his Master didn't think highly of Daedalus and he also didn't tell his team the truth that they are Soul Masters with evil or dark Spirit Essences, so he couldn't help but feel that something was off. And just as he had thought, there really was a catch.
Back at Daedalus, when Sheng Feilong was registering, Song Weihan and She Meixiao had talked in private; In exchange for giving Sheng Feilong the best possible treatment, including to make sure that he didn't have to take any dangerous missions, get into contact with real evil Soul Master and making sure that Daedalus wouldn't pry into their secrets, Song Weihan promised to have his research team join Daedalus and create Artificial Soul Bones for them. Moreover, he would also personally help to create Spirit Souls with evil or dark attributes for Dadalus' members to use!
Sheng Feilong was shocked that Song Weihan would go so far, but he didn't question his Masters decision as he knew that it was all for his sake. Clenching his fists, Sheng Feilong resolutely promised to not let Song Weihan down and gain complete control over the netherworld Putrefaction Demon as fast as he could, so that they didn't have to rely on Daedalus for long!
