Chapter 72 : Another Type of Cultivation 21 (2/2)
“Any more?” Feng Ci burned those people to death in the blink of an eye.
“For now, no.” Shi Sheng shook her head. It wasn’t that there hadn’t been anymore; it was just that they probably weren’t here today for she didn’t see them.
“Shang Shu, you actually fell so low and turned into a demon!” Ye Qingqiu glared hatefully at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng pouted in disagreement. “You’re the one speaking so say what you want.”
Ye Qingqiu was rendered speechless. ‘How am I supposed to answer?’
Had Shang Shu refuted her, she could have at least started righteously questioning her on it. Yet now she had an expression that pretty much said ‘I don’t care what you guys think’…
“Hey you guys.” Shi Sheng turned to look at the demons behind her. “What are you still standing there for? Waiting for them to commit suicide? Has the seal sealed your brains too?”
‘Well now look what happened. I’ve turned into the Demon Race’s representative. Might as well collect some interest then. After all, it’d be letting down this new status of mine if I didn’t.’
The demons seemed to have been reminded by her. They roared at the cultivators and the two sides engaged into a heated brawl. Shi Sheng would occasionally give out orders to the demons who, surprisingly, carried them out.
Now it looked like Shi Sheng really was in charge of the demon troops. When the Demon Lord still in the Demon World got the frontline report, his handsome face twitched a bit. ‘She’s really not being courteous about borrowing my influence ah! I’m still here guys!’
In the first clash between the Demon Race and the Cultivation World, the demons won because of Shi Sheng shamelessly taking command. The demons forced the cultivators to retreat, whereupon they seized control of Purple Bamboo Mountain for them to use as a base.
Shi Sheng stepped down after rendering her ‘meritorious services’, having gained quite a lot of fame from her contributions.
After Shi Sheng and Feng Ci left Purple Bamboo Mountain, she brought him with her to sweep the floor with those sects that had participated in attacking her back then. This caused the Cultivation World to grow even more full of unrest.
The saying “the front courtyard has been lost while the backyard is on fire[1]” was pretty much what described the situation for the cultivators right now.
Their formations had been destroyed by Shi Sheng just as the demons were on their doorstep.
……
Shi Sheng wanted to check on Yu Xiao so their final destination was naturally the Misty Sect. When she reached, she found that the Misty Sect’s disciples had somehow found out beforehand and were out in full force waiting for her.
‘En. Very good. This fits with my(bbb) image.’
“Martial Aunt!”
Shi Sheng had only just gotten into a domineering ‘pose’ and hadn’t had time to say any of her lines when she was interrupted by a voice. A woman wearing a purple Daoist robe charged down from the mountain and pushed the disciples in front out of the way. “Martial Aunt, it’s really you! *excited yelping* You’re finally back! I missed you so much!”
Lin Yiyi opened her arms and ran towards Shi Sheng. Just as she was about to hug Shi Sheng though, Feng Ci harrumphed and lifted his leg to kick her.
Shi Sheng looked like this: (||| ¬_¬)
She pulled Feng Ci back, causing Lin Yiyi to miss and stumble past her.
Lin Yiyi turned around to face Shi Sheng, her expression filled with grievance. “Martial Aunt, you don’t hug me anymore.”
Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘If I(bbb) hugged you, we would be enacting the cheesy ‘I am the wind and you are the sand’ romance from My Fair Princess[2]!’
“Martial Aunt, did you come back to see me?” Lin Yiyi went into self-pity mode for a while before changing the topic. “Martial Aunt, where did you go all these years? I heard you’ve already reached the Immortalisation stage? Martial Aunt, you’re awesome! *more rambling*…”
‘Too many questions… I(bbb) choose death.’
According to Lin Yiyi, the reason why Heaven’s Edge Peak hadn’t participated at the Inter-Sect Tournament was because Ye Qingqiu had left them behind under the reason that someone needed to stay behind to look after the sect.
So Lin Yiyi had missed the opportunity to meet Shi Sheng.
