47 Day 46: The Scum Is Hones (1/2)

They all head back to Upright Sect. Since Xi Ling is emotionally unstable, he took a ride with Chen Sheng on Xia Di's back.

”Elder Xi.” Chen Sheng called when Xi Ling sat behind Chen Sheng. ”Just tell me if it's uncomfortable. I'll tell Xia Di to fly slower – ” he told him.

Xi Ling nodded and looked at everyone who started to fly away in silence. He turned to Chen Sheng. ”Uhm...” he said and carefully looked at Chen Sheng. ”About Sheng – ge...” he said and looked at Yu Sheng's mysterious master.

Chen Sheng turned to Xi Ling. ”Senior Brother Yu?” he said, referring to Yu Sheng. ”Yes. I understand my soul is a part of his soul. I feel sorry his soul was hurt, resulting on the collapse of the cave, all because of me.” he said and bowed to Xi Ling. ”This disciple begs for forgiveness from Elder Xi.” He said and bowed his head low.

The remaining ones turned to them, shocked.

”Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.

”Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called.

”Chen Sheng!” Chen Shen exclaimed.

Wen Yan and Li Shan, who got no emotional attachments lingering on their body, stopped mid-air and looked at them.

But, they're all not as shocked at Xi Ling. ”Ah?” he said, surprised.

Even Fei Lin's gentle face is twisted in shock. Fei Yin is looking at Chen Sheng, his face serious.

”But – ” Xi Ling said.

Fei Lin, noticed something is wrong, cut Xi Ling off. ”Ling.” he called to his lover as he flew towards the two.

Xia Di is just silent, already noticed something is wrong again in his master.

Fei Lin turned to Chen Sheng. ”Disciple Chen.” He called. ”Elder Xi may be emotionally unstable for now, but deep in his heart he's not blaming you.” He told Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng didn't answer and just closed his eyes, admitting his fault.

Fei Lin sighed and looked at Xi Ling, their eyes talking to each other. After a minute, Xi Ling nodded and lowered his head.

Fei Lin turned to the others. ”Let's go.” He told them.

”Yes!” they all said and flew away.

Nothing happened then as they all silently flew back to the Upright Sect.

”After Hou Sheng talked with Yu Sheng, Hou Sheng disappeared and went back to 'Chen Sheng's body. Yu Sheng then made the cave collapsed, making Hou Sheng's body to be buried on the ground along with the cave.

But, Hou Sheng's body won't return to HuiLong's land, but will be returning to the land where he belongs, BaiLong, as his body turned to dust of qi, and make their way back to their land.”

- An excerpt from Good and Evil: The Cultivation World Revisited

Zu Zhe sighed and closed the holographic screen as he turned to Yu Sheng who's asleep, his back bleeding. ”If only I could control your character...” he muttered and sighed, referring to treating Yu Sheng's wound by the use of system.

He could've restore Yu Sheng's body back to full health.

He sighed and looked around the dark room. He opened the system again and typed. As soon as his fingers stopped moving on the holographic keyboard, the walls of the cave covering them slowly disappeared.

Since what happened to the cave is OOC, then he used the system to make the cave around him disappear.

Only what's OOC he can control.

”'shenghou'.” Zu Zhe softly muttered.

”What?” the voice of the system said.

Zu Zhe opened his eyes. ”This password...” he said, didn't continue. T

he system didn't answer.

Zu Zhe sighed and looked at Yu Sheng's back which is covered in blood. Earlier, Yu Sheng covered him when the cave collapsed. Some debris fell on them and Yu Sheng took it all.

”How can I heal this annoying guy?” Zu Zhe asked.

It was a while before the voice answered. ”Through your body.” It answered.

”Ah?” Zu Zhe said, felt his brain short-circuited.

The voice coughed. ”I meant, your body can recover due to the special arrangements (privilege) the system gave you as the author of this world.” It explained. ”You can feed him your blood.” It answered.

Zu Zhe frowned. ”Why do I feel like you're ripping off a vampire novel - ?” he asked. ”This guy isn't even a vampire!” he told the system.

The voice coughed. ”You asked, and I answered. That's the only way. Bye.” It said and disappeared from his mind.

Black lines covered Zu Zhe's face. He looked at Yu Sheng's pale face. His expression became softer. He took a deep breath and bit his finger.

He winced in pain and immediately made the blood drop from his finger fell on Yu Sheng's gaping lips. After a few seconds, seeing Yu Sheng's face is still pale, he wiped his cut finger on Yu Sheng's pale lips.

Zu Zhe drew a sharp breath when he felt Yu Sheng' soft lips. After living with Yu Sheng for 15 years, he knew how attractive Yu Sheng is, since he's the only one who's by Yu Sheng's side. Not admitting he doesn't even felt any attractions towards the guy he's with for 15 years... it's the biggest hypocrisy. And he never even once became a hypocrite.

He bit his lip and bent down to Yu Sheng's face as blood came out of his lips. His lips replaced his fingers on Yu Sheng's lips. Zu Zhe saw the blood on Yu Sheng's clothes is disappearing and the color on Yu Sheng's face is returning. Yet, he didn't stop and continued kissing Yu Sheng.

This is only the chance he'll have to kiss the man he already fell in love with. The captive falling in his captor, what a joke of the author of this world has become.

Yu Sheng opened his eyes and saw Zu Zhe is silently sitting beside him, his hands moving in the air. Yu Sheng is already used to this side of Zu Zhe. He knew Zu Zhe isn't crazy, making weird gestures in the air.

But actually, Zu Zhe sees something Yu Sheng doesn't see, and this is related to Zu Zhe coming to this world.

”What are you doing?” he asked as he looked around them. He saw room became roofless, the sunlight the room hasn't felt for the past years now its walls tasting it.

He slowly sat up, then froze. He doesn't felt his back aching. He turned to Zu Zhe, remembered he got injured protecting the guy and his back mostly suffered.

”What did you do?” he asked him.

”Nothing.” Zu Zhe answered as his hands moved faster.

Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed. He already knew this behavior of Zu Zhe. Living with Zu Zhe for 15 years, he knew this behavior of this guy making right now is because he is lying.

”What did you do?” he asked again.

”Healed you.” Zu Zhe answered, the pace of his hand became slower but still moving fast.

Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed, yet he didn't press the matter. He knew he can never make Zu Zhe answer to him again. ”What are you doing right now?” he asked.

This time, Zu Zhe's hands stopped. Yu Sheng looked at him, but didn't speak.

Zu Zhe slowly turned to Yu Sheng. ”If I'll do something to Hou Sheng's soul, will you get mad?” he asked.

Yu Sheng stared at him. ”You already did 15 years ago.” He told him.

Zu Zhe paused, then looked away. ”This time...” he said, didn't continue.

Yu Sheng fell silent. He knew what Zu Zhe meant: Hou Sheng is already aware of who he is.

It was a while before Yu Sheng spoke. ”Will it harm him?” he silently asked.

”You judge if it will.” Zu Zhe told him.

Yu Sheng looked at Zu Zhe.

”I'm going to suppress Hou Sheng's awareness.” He told him.

”Why?” Yu Sheng asked.

It was a while before Zu Zhe answered. ”For the sake of everybody.” He answered. ”Including him.” he added, referring to Hou Sheng.

Yu Sheng didn't speak.

”If Hou Sheng will still be aware of who he is and continue to act as 'Chen Sheng', he'll develop a split personality later. You know that he needs to stay in here (HuiLong) a little longer... until it's time for him to go back to BaiLong.” He told him.

Yu Sheng didn't answer.

Zu Zhe continued. ”Also... it's for everybody around Chen Sheng.” He said. ”They need him, since their problem is deeper than what they imagined.” He told Yu Sheng and looked at him, his face serious.

Yu Sheng lowered his head. After a while, he spoke. ”... you'll answer to me if something goes wrong to him.” he softly said.

Zu Zhe nodded. He already expected this'll be Yu Sheng's answer, yet he still can't feel but be hurt. He knows Hou Sheng is more important to Yu Sheng than the nobody like him.

Nonetheless, he still answered. ”I will.” He said and closed his eyes as he pressed the button on the keyboard.

”It's time.” The voice inside Zu Zhe's mind called.

”Ah?” he said.

”... I'll give you a chance to go back.” The voice said.
