Surviving a Tribulation Failure and Collecting Disciples in the Mortal World

Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 319 Male or Female?

Because of the sect's principles, She Jinxing insisted on his opinion, "Let Red Scorpion come back. We don't know how long it will take for Little White to grow up a bit, stop making a fuss at night, and stop needing anyone to keep him company."

The deity hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Besides, Little Scorpion isn't always by your side, and I'm worried that his rebellious nature will only increase. You still need to teach him a lesson from time to time."

Shang Lin, "..."

So no matter what I say, in everyone's mind, I'm pretty much the same as Xiaobai, a little kid, right?

However, Shang Lin still wouldn't give up, saying, "Red Scorpion has changed his ways. He's very enthusiastic about making money and gets along very well with people. He's even been diligently studying for his driver's license recently. Let's not waste his study time."

She Jinxing hurriedly said, "How can protecting the sect leader be considered a waste of time? Besides, he can study wherever he wants. I'll call him right now."

Shang Lin, "..."

Perhaps it's not a good idea to be overly cautious in serving?

Unfortunately, there was a god-king on the same side beside him. "That's right, I'll go back to the tower first. Little White still has some internal injuries. Once it recovers, who knows how much trouble it will cause. After all, cubs are lively and full of energy."

Shang Lin suddenly laughed and said, "Then the Divine Lord can take on disciples again and teach Little White to cultivate. Its true form is a dragon, so its advancement will be faster than that of the little snake."

"Hehe." The God couldn't help but rub his forehead. "I never thought raising a child would be so difficult. But I don't remember what I was like when I was a child. Anyway, I wasn't as delicate as Xiaobai."

Shang Lin wasn't surprised that the dragon didn't remember what he looked like as a child, because even he didn't remember what he looked like as a child, let alone an ancient dragon whose lifespan was many times longer than his.

However, "Is it possible that Xiaobai is actually female?"

The deity was taken aback, then stared at Shang Lin for a long while before saying, "I really hadn't thought of that, but it's not easy to tell the male from the female before the cubs reach adulthood."

She Jinxing had just finished his call. "Red Scorpion will be back soon. You guys were just saying Little White might be female?"

Shang Lin nodded. "Can you be sure whether it's male or female?"

She Jinxing immediately shook his head, "No, Xiaobai is too young, its body hasn't grown up yet. But it is indeed a bit delicate. Of course, it may also be because it was injured and frightened by those demon exorcists before, so the aftereffects are a bit serious."

Sect Master Shang immediately made a domineering decision, "Then we will raise it as a female, but we still need to teach it what it needs to learn, so as not to affect its advancement. If it cannot advance, its lifespan will be very short, and we will lose another disciple. After all, we have already lost about two disciples."

Both the Divine Lord and She Jinxing understood that the two disciples Shang Lin mentioned were Qiu Niang and Ji Xiaoyao. Qiu Niang was only two years old, still counting her age according to the traditional Chinese age reckoning, and since she had been reborn, no one could predict her future.

Ji Xiaoyao will always stay by Qiu Niang's side. No matter what happens to them in the future, they will probably have nothing to do with Yuntai Sect anymore! But both the Divine Lord and She Jinxing know that Shang Lin has special feelings for Qiu Niang, his first disciple.

So neither of them mentioned it, and then the God said, "Then I'll go back to the tower first. If Xiaobai and Lvyao start fighting again, it will be troublesome."

Shang Lin was taken aback. "What do you mean? Internal strife among fellow disciples?"

The Divine Lord laughed, “You’re overthinking it. Little White is quite lively now. It wants to go to places other than the river. The herb garden is so big, it’s inevitable that it will go there. Green Yao has a very strong sense of territory and will not allow anyone to damage its herbs. So, conflict is unavoidable.”

Shang Lin said with great understanding, "You've worked hard, Divine Lord."

God, "..."

What do you mean? Are you saying that taking care of the babies is hard work? But being a stay-at-home dad is definitely not easy! Right now, I don't have a single moment of leisure.

But when he thought of Xiaobai, the God Lord dared not linger any longer. What if those little things really started fighting? After all, they weren't very intelligent, so he disappeared immediately.

As soon as the Divine Lord disappeared, Shang Lin immediately opened his book and started doing his homework. As for She Jinxing's decision to wait for Chi Xie to return before going back to the Dragon Spirit Tower, he really couldn't persuade him otherwise. He decided to let them treat him like a child.

Red Scorpion returned quickly, after all, at this time, there would be no traffic jams except at traffic lights, but he still couldn't help but complain, "It's really inconvenient to call a taxi at night."

As soon as She Jinxing saw that Chi Xie had returned, he immediately went back to the Dragon Spirit Tower to "rescue" the God. He was more willing to play with Xiao Bai, and when they got tired, they would curl up together and sleep, which felt much more comfortable than in human form.

Transforming into human form means adhering to all the rules and regulations of humanity, which is exhausting. Although I have lived in the human world for quite some time, I am ultimately not human and still prefer to live in my original form.

Upon hearing Red Scorpion's words, Shang Lin immediately looked up at him and asked, "You didn't use any magic?!" It's the middle of the night, isn't that perfect?

Red Scorpion moved a chair and sat down at Shang Lin's desk, replying very sincerely, "I would like to, but there are just too many surveillance cameras now. I would have to use invisibility magic. After a busy day, wouldn't it be better to save some energy? But once I get my driver's license, I can drive myself. That way, it will be convenient to go anywhere. Besides, I really like the car that Xing Tian bought this time. Sect Master, you can't let anyone else drive it."

Shang Lin looked at Chi Xie helplessly, "Isn't the money you've earned recently enough to buy a car? Why are you eyeing the public resources in the gatehouse?"

Red Scorpion immediately became dissatisfied, "Does that mean I can spend the money I earn however I want? You have no idea how petty Xing Tian is, he's practically obsessed with money, no wonder he's the finance manager."

"Hehe..." Shang Lin smiled as he looked at Red Scorpion, "If you want to buy a car, he will buy it for you."

Red Scorpion immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, let's save money to exchange for cultivation resources. After all, nothing is more important than cultivation. But I heard there are auctions that don't ask about the origin of the items or the background of the buyers and sellers. Can I inquire about it and sell some of the treasures in my Qiankun bag?"

"Stop." Shang Lin put down his pen and looked at Chi Xie seriously, saying, "Let alone that we don't know where that auction is or how we contacted it, even if we did know, we can't go. Who knows how dangerous it is? Yuntai Sect doesn't lack your money. Why are you always thinking about selling your things? You might need them someday, and then you won't be able to buy them anywhere."

Red Scorpion, "..."
