82 Day 81: The Scum Is An Iceberg (2/2)

Wu Bai glanced at him, then sighed. He looked at Feng Mo before he spoke. ”He's our lord, as what we've told you.” He answered.

”... but not just any ordinary lord.” Yu Sheng said. ”For you, the deities, to call someone as your lord...” he said, then paused. ”Is he a god?” he asked, remembered how his parents, when they're still alive, told him about the BaiLong, even when he's asleep (100 years).

The royal family is supported (favored) by the god of BaiLong which, they believe, is their (BaiLong people) ancestor.

”No.” Wu Bai answered.

”Then, who is he?” Yu Sheng asked and looked at Wu Bai. ”Also a deity?” he asked.

Wu Bai looked at Chen Sheng who's silently flying. ”No.” he answered.

Yu Sheng's forehead knotted. ”Then, who is he?” he asked again.

It was a long while before Wu Bai answered. ”He is a lord.” He said.

Yu Sheng frowned. ”You've been telling me that since earlier.” He said, annoyed. ”If he isn't a god, nor a deity, then – ” he said, impatient. ” – what is he?” he asked and looked at Chen Sheng. ”Don't even dare to answer he's a mortal – ” he said, frowning, as he remembered he thought Chen Sheng as Hou Sheng.

”He's not.” Wu Bai cut him off.

Yu Sheng stared at him, his face blank. ”I won't ask again – ” he told him, referring to asking what Chen Sheng is.

Wu Bai sighed. ”Our master... he's Lord Sheng.” He said, then took a deep breath. ”Neither a deity nor a god... since he's – ” he said and looked at Chen Sheng when they all exited the clouds.

The sunlight kissed Chen Sheng's skin, making him glow. But, that's not all.

Yu Sheng and Zu Zhe's eyes went wide when they saw Chen Sheng. His body that's enveloped in sunlight, making him look transparent... he's really transparent.

Fei Yin didn't see this since he's still talking with Feng Mo. But, he already seen this. What matters is that, he didn't believe it.

Chen Sheng's transparent body... the inside is a glowing ball.

” – an entity formed by the people's subconsciousness.” Wu Bai muttered as the three of them watch Chen Sheng come out of the sunset's ray of lights.

His body is back to normal again.

Night.

Since Feng Mo, Wu Bai and Chen Sheng are godly figures, they don't need to ride on sword or mount on Xia Di's back.

When the sun finally set, they called on for the clouds and mounted them. This made Fei Yin, Yu Sheng, and especially Zu Zhe, gaped at them.

Wu Bai and Feng Mo shared on one cloud and slept on it. Chen Sheng, since Fei Yin is a mortal, slept alone on another cloud.

The three men were left to sleep on the beast's back.

”You two go sleep. I'm not shameless to disturb a lover's nest.” Fei Yin said and glanced at Xia Di, who frowned because his back is called a 'nest'.

Zu Zhe's face went red while Yu Sheng grinned as he thanked Fei Yin. He then hopped on Xia Di's back and laid his head on Zu Zhe's lap.

Zu Zhe grimaced, but didn't complain. He'd be disturbing the three godly figures that're sleeping on the clouds.

He just continued writing. Yu Sheng's staring at him but he's ignoring him. Fei Yin's just flying on his sword silently, obviously he's also thinking.

Mu Jun told them, before they left, that it'll take 3 days at most to reach BaiLong Continent. This is still the first day of their travel towards BaiLong.

”Zhe.” Yu Sheng called.

”Hm?” Zu Zhe said, his fingers moving over the holographic keys.

”I love you.” Yu Sheng said.

Zu Zhe's hands over the keys passed through and his hands fell on Yu Sheng's chest. The holographic keyboard and screen vanished.

”You – ” he said and turned to glare at Yu Sheng when he stopped. His eyes fell on Yu Sheng's serious handsome face as he looks at him.

Zu Zhe's face went red. He was about to pull his hands when Yu Sheng held them, his eyes still on Zu Zhe's face.

”... you just like me?” Yu Sheng silently asked. ”I care, but for now, it'll be enough for me.” he said. ”As long as your whole affection will be on me... that's all that matters to me.” he said and smiled as he reverently kissed Zu Zhe's fingers, one by one.

Zu Zhe felt his head is about to explode. ”I... I – ” he said, his face so red the clouds around them turned to water. ”I... ” he said.

Yu Sheng kissing his fingers makes him distracted, but he can't retract his hands. Why? Because it makes his hands feel weak, making him unable to pull his hand.

”... I love you, too.” Zu Zhe said and lowered his head.

By doing so, his eyes met Yu Sheng's eyes. But, he didn't retract his gaze. Instead, he smiled at him.

”... what an honor to be loved by you.” Zu Zhe muttered as he lowered his head.

Yu Sheng's eyes went wide, shocked, when he felt Zu Zhe's lips on his. This is the second time (no, actually not) Zu Zhe kissed him on his own will.

”Zhe...” Yu Sheng muttered under his breath as he stared at Zu Zhe's face.

Zu Zhe just smiled as he called on the system again. The holographic screen and keyboard popped out. ”Why did you go with me?” he asked.

The keyboard is already there, but he didn't move his hands.

”I want to.” Yu Sheng answered.

”... you already have no business with BaiLong.” Zu Zhe said. ”Also, you could've just stopped me from going to BaiLong. If you did, I won't go.” He said, then took a deep breath. ”Why did you go with me?” he asked him again. He turned and looked in Yu Sheng's eyes.

Yu Sheng looked back at him. Living together in 15 years, they clearly know each other.

”I really want to go with you, since I want to. I want to be by your side.” He told him.

”I know.” Zu Zhe said.

”I...” Yu Sheng said, staring in Zu Zhe's eyes. ”I want to know you more.” He told him. ”I want to know more of you – where you come from, what world did you live in... I – ” he said and raised his hand. ” – want to be a part of your world, too.” He said and touched Zu Zhe's cheek. ”Also...” he added.

”There's more?” Zu Zhe asked.

”Mn.” Yu Sheng nodded. ”I don't want to lose you.” He answered.

Zu Zhe's eyes went wide, then he smiled. He held Yu Sheng's hand caressing his cheek as he leaned down to him.

”I assure you.” He said as he stared at Yu Sheng's face. ”I won't disappear.” He said and whispered to him, the same words he told the voice of the system when the system called him that day in the cave of the YuLing.

Yu Sheng's eyes went wide as he stared at Zu Zhe's face, shocked. ”Zhe...” he called.

Zu Zhe chuckled as he faced the holographic screen and keyboard. ”Now, can you let me work?” he asked, frowning. ”I still have to update 11 chapters – wah!” he exclaimed when Yu Sheng pulled him down. He fell on Yu Sheng's chest.

He turned and glared at Yu Sheng after he covered his mouth, afraid of waking the others. Yu Sheng just laughed.

”You – mm.” Zu Zhe said when Yu Sheng pulled him by his nape and kissed him.

He looked at Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng raised his brows, grinning. This villain... he thought as he remembered the first book he wrote. He then smiled as he buried his face on Yu Sheng's chest.

His smile disappeared. Thankfully, he transmigrated to this world. If he didn't, he wouldn't know that what he wrote is just the tip of an iceberg. Now, he's going to write the other part of the iceberg that's submerged in water.

That iceberg called 'Chen Sheng'.
