7 Day 6: The Scum Is Lucky (2/2)

The reason why he chose Li Tian to ride with towards the Promising Sect is because Li Tian is the best choice. He's a calm and bright person. All throughout their way to Promising Sect, Li Tian is chatting with him.

Feng Mo is calm, but cold. He'll never chat with him. Fei Yin... too serious. So he's not expecting Fei Yin will chat with him.

”Ah?”

Everybody turned and looked at Chen Sheng when they heard him speak. Chen Sheng is holding his dimensional pocket.

”What is it, Senior Brother Chen?” Lei Ling asked and looked at Chen Sheng's dimensional pocket that's shaking.

”I don't know.” Chen Sheng answered and dropped his dimensional pocket when it shook violently.

The dimensional pocket opened and a winged beast flew out. Their eyes went wide and their jaw dropped as they watched the winged beast fly in the air.

”A – A Thousand Six – Winged Eagle?!” they all said, shocked.

The beast roared in the air and flew in circles.

”A – Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called, shocked as he looked at the beast.

”Brother Chen...” Fei Yin, Li Tian and Feng Mo called, also shocked. They looked at the beast.

It's a high – level beast and is rare to be seen. It's also a proud creature.

”Ah Sheng...?” Chen Han called when he saw his younger brother is silent.

Chen Sheng grimaced. He pressed his lips tight. ”... I found an egg lying on the street that night when I met the fierce corpse.” He started. ”I washed it and stored it in my dimensional pocket, planning to cook it. But, since it's been busy lately, I forgot about it, so I forgot to cook it.” he explained. Their jaw dropped. ”Who knows it's a beast's egg...” he added, making his face puzzled.

Their face was covered in dark lines. The Thousand Six – Winged Eagles have a very fast growth, that's why they're of noble and high – class beasts. And this guy... he's planning to cook it?!

Luckily he forgot about it!

”Is everyone here now?”

They all turned and saw Ming Ye and Luo Shi. The two elders looked at the beast and just nodded. They then mounted on their sword.

Everyone followed suit.

They all exclaimed and went out of the way when the beast flew down and landed beside Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng patted its head and hopped on its back. ”Good boy...” he whispered to the beast and grinned.

Everybody's faces – aside from the two elders, Lei Ling, Chen Han, Fei Yin, Li Tian and Feng Mo... all looked like they've eaten vinegar.

”Let's go.” Luo Shi said and he and Ming Ye flew away.

”Yes!” they all answered and followed.

”Well, then... shall we go?” Chen Sheng asked the beast.

The beast nodded and flapped its enormous wings that made the disciples near it almost fell off their sword. They immediately flew away from him, glaring at him.

Chen Sheng hold back his laughter and just patted the beast's head.

”Junior Brother Chen...” Sun Yi called. He bent down and whispered. ”You're really too good as an actor.” He said. ”True, your cultivation level is low. But... you just won't stop in that level, right? Your pride won't allow you. Since – ” he said. ” – you're a scum... too, right?” he asked and smiled at him brightly.

Brother Sun... I tip my hat off for you!

”Brother Chen.” It was Fei Yin. He, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Chen Han are flying around him.

Lei Ling also want to, but his strength isn't that strong yet, so he's flying not far from them.

Fei Yin looked at the beast curiously. I wonder if I can fly on it together with Brother Chen...? He thought, his ears went red.

”Brother Fei.” Chen Sheng said and bowed. He noticed Fei Yin looking at the beast. ”Brother Fei. You want to ride...?” he still hasn't finished his sentence when Fei Yin turned to him sharply and immediately nodded.

”Yes!” Fei Yin answered. ”Will Brother Chen allow me - ?” he asked and bowed, anxious.

”I don't mind – ” he said.

But before he could finish, the beast growled and flew away from Fei Yin.

Chen Sheng was dumbfounded, but not as too dumbfounded as Fei Yin. ”... I guess this beast minds...” Chen Sheng said and looked at Fei Yin. ”Brother Fei...?” he called to the petrified Fei Yin.

Fei Yin's eyes narrowed and he glared at the beast. So this beast is possessive with Brother Chen, too. He thought. ”Then we can't do anything about it.” Fei Yin said and sighed, looking disappointed.

”Brother Fei.” Chen Sheng called. ”As an apology, I'll let you ride on this beast one of these days, so...” he said.

The corner of Fei Yin's lip curled up. ”I'll take your words to the heart, then.” He said and flew away.

”Many thanks, Brother Fei.” Chen Sheng said and bowed. He turned to the beast. ”Hey.” he called. ”You're already trained, so I doubt you'll ever let Brother Fei ride you.” He told it.

But, beast as it is, it understood him but it didn't give him an answer. Chen Sheng sighed and laid down on the beast's back.

It takes more than a day to travel from the Promising Land to the Newfound Land (that is, when you're flying). But if you flew faster, it'll just take half a day. So by the time they'll reach the Newfound Sect, the sun is already setting.

Just the perfect time to go and meet that head of the corpse.

Newfound Land.

The man wearing black robe walked past the Newfound Sect's disciples running around, patrolling the area. His long hair as dark as the night fluttered when there's a sudden change in the wind. The man stopped, then slowly turned.

In the blood – red sky because of the setting sun, there's a group mounted on their sword coming this way.

”Ah! They're back! They're finally back!” one of the disciple exclaimed.

”Yes! Yes!” another one exclaimed. ”Senior Brothers!” they yelled, waving their hands at the large group that's passing by. ”Senior Brothers!” they called.

The man silently left. He was about to turn to an alley when he stopped after he saw a large shadow on the ground.

”What the hell...” the disciples said.

”A Thousand Six – Winged Beast?!” they exclaimed.

”Who the hell owns that beast - ?!”

”Maybe the elders from the Promising Sect that're coming here - ?”

The man turned. But, it's not an elder that's riding on the back of the beast.

The disciples covered their head and ducked when the beast flew past them. ”Who - ?!” they said and looked at the fleeing beast. ”A disciple – ?” they said.

”And not of the Promising Sect, but of our sect - !”

The disciples cheered. They helped their fellow disciples that fell down on them because of exhaustion.

The man continued to walk and totally left the area. That disciple riding on the back of the beast, this man clearly remembers.

”Chen Shen.” He muttered, a sinister smile forming on his lips and he disappeared just as the darkness surrounded everything under the now dark sky.

Little Dragon's G(r)ay Theater:

Chen Han: now I have another rival for my Ah Sheng's love - !

Li Tian: you consider yourself as a rival? *scoff. You'll never be together with Brother Chen since you're brothers – by blood. *smirk.

Chen Han: *hurt

Feng Mo: *to Li Tian ... and you also consider yourself as a rival?

Li Tian: of course! I like Brother Chen!

Chen Han: *more hurt of Li Tian's answer

Feng Mo: *to Chen Han. Better move faster or you'll lose what's most precious to you.

Li Tian: *puzzled by Feng Mo, but ignores it anyway. Brother Feng is a rival?

Feng Mo: ... yes. *blushes and walks away.

Li Tian: *to Feng Mo's tutor that's silently sitting on the side. You'd better move fast or you'll lose him.

Feng Mo's tutor: ... seems like I haven't taught him that much. *smiles meaningfully.

Fei Yin: *silently watching everybody, a grin on his face. Whatever you say, I'm the ML.

Black – robed man: ... you sure of that? The author didn't confirm your question last time. *grins.

Fei Yin: *face dark
