The Scum Is A ***

And it is as the Huakai Sect disciples thought. Nothing really changed even if they found out that Wu Xi is a woman, since they… 

"Ge! Do you feel tired? Here, drink some water!" Tang Yun said as he handed a bamboo tube to Tang Zhe. 

Tang Zhe smiled to Tang Yun. "Thanks!" he said as he grabbed the bamboo tube, his fingers touching the back of Tang Yun's hand. 

Tang Yun blushed and immediately pushed the bamboo tube to Tang Zhe before he half-walked, half-ran away. 

Shan Lu saw Tang Yun gave Tang Zhe water and he looked at Guo Cheng. "What?" Guo Cheng asked when he saw Shan Lu is looking at him. 

"… water." Shan Lu spoke, his voice has a hint of grievance. 

"…. What are you making that face for?!" Guo Cheng asked when he saw Shan Lu's scrunched up face like he is going to cry. Pissed, he threw a bamboo tube filled with water at Shan Lu's face before he marched away. 

Sun Yi who saw it all. "…" he silently looked at Wu Xi who raised his Thought Talisman. 

"I told you, it's fine. You worried for nothing." He told him and coolly shrugged before he took out his bamboo tube. "Want me to fill up yours?" he asked and reached a hand out to him. 

"… thank you." Sun Yi said and gave him his bamboo tube. The Huakai Sect is so done for with these idiots! He thought as he watched Tang Zhe drank the water with a big smile on his face, as if the water he is drinking is mixed with sugar and honey – a sickeningly sweet water instead of a plain one. 

Meanwhile, Shan Lu was staring at the bamboo tube for five minutes before he hid the bamboo tube and took out his own bamboo tube, then went to the river to fill his own bamboo tube. 

Sun Yi. "…" f*ck. I must be insane to travel with these idiots!!! He thought. His face is filled with dark lines. 

Tang Yun and Guo Cheng came back, and their faces looked serious. "We found a group of demonic cultivators!" they said. 

Tang Zhe immediately walked towards them. "Where? How many were they?" he asked. 

"They are staying in a broken-down village beyond this mountain." Tang Yun answered. In order to calm himself down, he decided to go scout the surroundings. 

"There are thirty of them." Guo Cheng answered. In order to calm himself, he decided to go with Tang Yun and scout their surroundings. "They outnumber us, so we didn't dare to launch a sneak attack." He explained. 

"That's a wise decision." Sun Yi said as he thanked Wu Xi after Wu Xi gave him his refilled bamboo tube. "We have six, so it will be one versus five." He looked at them. "Can you handle it?" he asked. 

Tang Yun, as the weakest, nodded. "I think I can. I've become stronger!" he said. "But, if I can't later…" his voice faded. He shyly glanced at Tang Zhe. 

Tang Zhe smiled. "I'll definitely look after you later, and help you." He told Tang Yun and patted the top of Tang Yun's head. 

Tang Yun's eyes brightened and he giddily laughed. 

Sun Yi. "…" I think I am becoming blind… they are too much! They are worse than the Xinfaxian Sect couples! And they aren't even official pairs! He thought as he turned and saw Guo Cheng and Shan Lu bickering again on the side after Guo Cheng refused Shan Lu's offer to help him defeat the demonic cultivators. "…" f*ck… I'm missing my Yuan!!! Can't someone care for my feelings here?! I am MARRIED, yet why am I the one losing against these unofficial pairs?! 

Wu Xi. "…" he patted Sun Yi's back to comfort the other. "Let's play it by ear later." He told him through the Thought Talisman. 

Sun Yi didn't answer and suppressed the rage in his chest as he moved his gaze away from these unofficial pairs! Seeing Sun Yi's dark face, Wu Xi lit rows of candles for the demonic cultivators who unknowingly will become cannon fodders later to appease Sun Yi's wrath. 

The demonic cultivators, who are living in the broken-down village beyond the mountain where the Huakai Sect disciples, Sun Yi and Wu Xi are resting, suddenly felt a chill down their spine. "… is it too late to relocate?" they asked each other when they felt a malevolent energy is coming their way. 

The 'malevolent energy' Sun Yi who unkindly threw Exploding Spells towards the houses as soon as he, Wu Xi, and the Huakai Sect disciples arrived on their sword. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A series of explosions can be heard and seen. The explosions forced the hiding demonic cultivators out of the houses, and there were already some casualties. 

The Huakai Sect disciples. "…" didn't we agree that it will be one versus five? They thought as they looked at each other with puzzled gazes. 

Wu Xi who knows. "…" blame yourselves! He rolled his eyes at them and jumped off of his sword, then caught it, before he started to cut down the demonic cultivators that approached him when he landed. 

The Huakai Sect saw that the fight has begun and they followed Wu Xi. Meanwhile, Sun Yi stopped casting spells since it's exhausting in qi, so he also used his sword to cut down the demonic cultivators. Then, he found out that it is easier to vent his anger this way, so he became more enthusiastic in killing the demonic cultivators. 

The Huakai Sect disciples who saw Sun Yi took down a demonic cultivator in just one blow. "…" at this rate, he can finish them all by himself. They thought. But, they didn't leave everything to Sun Yi, of course. They killed as many as they could. 

Wu Xi who saw that the Huakai Sect disciples are still clueless of the 'crime' they did. "…" I'll leave them by themselves. They are already hopeless. He thought before he kicked away the demonic cultivator that jumped on him before he made a turn, his sword raised. 

SLASH! The demonic cultivator's head fell on the ground and rolled away. 

"Hah!" Tang Yun yelled as he caught the demonic cultivator's arm and headbutted him before he stabbed him. 

"Xiao Yun! Watch out!" Tang Zhe cried and grabbed the back of the collar of the demonic cultivator that sneaked behind Tang Yun and pulled him before he kicked the demonic cultivator on the chest. 

Tang Yun turned and killed the demonic cultivator. On the other side, Shan Lu was trying his best to protect Guo Cheng. 

"Shidi! Using talismans are taxing in qi! Just let me protect you!" Shan Lu told Guo Cheng and snatched Guo Cheng's kill. 

Not only does Shan Lu's words infuriate Guo Cheng, but also Shan Lu's actions. "Shut up, will you?!" Guo Cheng snapped at Shan Lu before he pushed him away when a demonic cultivator crept behind Shan Lu. 

Then, Guo Cheng pasted a talisman on the demonic cultivator's forehead, which immobilized him, before Guo Cheng drew his sword and stabbed the demonic cultivator to his death. 

Sun Yi who has finished killing ten demonic cultivators turned and saw that all the demonic cultivators were killed. He saw Tang Zhe is praising Tang Yun while Guo Cheng is bickering with Shan Lu again. Shan Lu, this idiot, doesn't know that what he is doing is angering Guo Cheng more. 

Sun Yi's brow twitched in annoyance. But, later, he sighed. Then, a smile appeared on his face. He shouldn't envy these people. Peace is rare to find in this tumultuous time. So, the Huakai Sect disciples' interactions made Sun Yi feel nostalgic. It's just like yesterday when they met the Huakai Sect disciples and have seen their antics. 

Thus, the Huakai Sect disciples' antics in front of him made him remember that peaceful time, before the war against the demonic cultivators broke out and they invaded the Zhongyang with the help of Qi Ling. 

Wu Xi turned and saw Sun Yi was smiling. He secretly sighed in relief. Finally, his anger was appeased. He thought and glanced at the corpses of the demonic cultivators scattered on the ground, their blood soaking the ground red and black. He uttered thanks to the dead demonic cultivators for risking their life just to appease Sun Yi's anger. 

"Let's continue!" Tang Zhe called out to them and waved at them. 

"Yes!" they answered. Then, they boarded their swords and flew away, going further West. 

The Huakai Sect is not too far away. 

Southmost Region, Nanli Town. 

"Yu-ge is right. They are really the demonic cultivators we've encountered before." Li Tian said after they saw the long and straight hair of the demonic cultivators. Their long sword lying beside their corpse. 

"Yes. And the other group of demonic cultivators came from a tribe." Feng Mo spoke. 

They all fell silent. If there are two groups of demonic cultivators, then which one is Wu Ran controlling? Or, is he controlling them both?
