The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 537 - The Scum Is Fond



The Yunxiao Inn was instantly covered in gloom that night. Everyone was very happy after they left the venue after they watched today's matches and they were all excited to share to the others that are left in the Yunxiao Inn about the exciting matches. After all, the cultivation of the disciples have leapt in bounds after Fei Yin widened their meridians through rigorous training.

But, they were poured with cold water when they heard from Sun Rong and the others that Cheng Sheng's senses – of his body and towards the qi, are dulling. It is also possible that he might fall into a coma, and at any time.

What the heck… what has happened in just one morning and one afternoon?! How did everything come into this?! They thought, feeling rage. Naturally, it was the Xinfaxian Sect and Chen Han who flew into a rage, since Cheng Sheng is their family! The Yunxiao Inn's entrance almost exploded because of the combination of their qi.

But, immediately, they thought that Cheng Sheng is staying here. Not to mention that Sun Rong and Qie Shi are their friends. Who can they blame? Who will they beat? No one wanted for this situation to happen, even Cheng Sheng who likes to mess with them. Where should they vent their frustration, then? They all with darkened faces. 

"Why are you acting like this?" Chen Jing asked as he sat on the couch beside Wu Fan, Fei Lin and Xi Ling. "It's not as if Sheng-er is dying." He told them.

None of them spoke.

"Sheng-er assured us that he won't die. This is just a side-effect of his current condition." Chen Jing explained. "Also, this is good for him. This is an advancement of his condition. So, what are you all angry for?" he asked as he looked at them.

Xie Lan, Fan Wen and the others immediately calmed down. But, Chen Han can't. After all, he is the one who is most fond of Cheng Sheng, aside from Fei Yin.

"What did Fei Yin say about this?" Chen Han asked. His heart is filled with anxiety just by thinking that his younger brother would fall into a coma.

Although it was for his own good, still, his heart felt uneasy that his younger brother would lie down with his eyes closed. He already knew that his younger was replaced by another soul. But, thinking that his younger brother would die again, he can't help but recall what happened five years ago…

He closed his eyes tight and clenched his fists as he took a deep breath to calm himself.

"He is the one watching over Sheng-er right now." Chen Jing answered.

Upon hearing that, Chen Han ran upstairs to where Cheng Sheng's room is.

Li Tian's brow twitched. If he doesn't know that Chen Han and Cheng Sheng are brothers, he would definitely feel jealous over the care that Chen Han has towards Cheng Sheng. But, right now, he can only heave a sigh like the others.

"It is good. As long as Cheng Sheng's cultivation would recover." Zheng Fu Gong spoke.

The others nodded in agreement.

"The Devouring Worms are now eradicated, thanks to elder Fei and elder Xi and Wu Bai." Zheng Fu Gong continued as he looked at the three people.

Wu Bai sighed and leaned towards Feng Mo, his lover. God knows how long was he and Feng Mo separated! And it was all due to Cheng Sheng! But, he can't just watch other people die. And Feng Mo wouldn't like it, either, thus he worked for Cheng Sheng. After all, this work of his can preempt the enemies' attack.

And, as expected, Cheng Sheng's words were never wrong. There are really enemies! If Cheng Sheng didn't make some precaution, what would have become of them all now? It could be said that Cheng Sheng's instinct is really godly. He knew that some enemies will attack, and they look formidable!

"Right now, we are facing the spirit servants and this new parasitic mask…" Zheng Fu Gong spoke. "But, since we already have done the necessary methods for us, including the disciples, to prevent being affected by mental and spiritual attacks, we all have done the best we could." He looked at them. "Now, it is Cheng Sheng who is the one in need. We all have to show consideration for him." He told them.

"Yes." they all nodded in understanding.

"Right now, the first match for the group battles is still ongoing and will end tomorrow at noon." Zheng Yi spoke as the organizer for this year's Intersect Competition. "Everyone, let's all go back to the venue and do not disturb Cheng Sheng." He told them.

"Yes!" they agreed. Upon hearing the second sentence, everyone hurriedly left as if there is oil beneath their feet, leaving the Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect behind.

Jing Kang still wanted to stay with Lei Ling and Qian Tian wanted to stay behind to be with You Rou. But, both Lei Ling and You Rou assured them that they don't have anything that could help with Cheng Sheng's current condition. Thus, the two left filled with reluctance.

"Sun Rong. Chen patriarch. Fei Lin." Xie Lan called as soon as everyone left. "Can you tell us now what exactly is happening to Cheng Sheng?" he asked.

As soon as this question was asked, everyone was stunned, especially Li Tian and the others. Fan Wen noticed Xie Lan's expression earlier that he was holding back something so he didn't speak. As expected, Xie Lan has noticed something strange.

Sun Rong, Chen Jing and Fei Lin were about to speak when they suddenly heard Chen Han's roar upstairs.

"You surnamed Fei! What are you doing to Ah Sheng?!" Chen Han shouted as he viciously glared at Fei Yin, wanted to tear him to pieces.

But, xiao Bao and xiao Ling are currently blocking him. Xiao Bao has Cheng Sheng's face while xiao Ling is Cheng Sheng's sword spirit. Thus, Chen Han can't do anything inside this room to attack Fei Yin.

"Xiao Bao, xiao Ling! Move aside!" Chen Han told the two sword spirits. But, the two didn't move. He gnashed his teeth in anger and could only watch as Fei Yin continue to hold the trembling Cheng Sheng in his arms as if he didn't see him.

"Han-er!" Chen Jing called as everyone arrived.

"Xiao Sheng! Xiao Yin!" Fan Wen cried when he saw the two on the bed.

Cheng Sheng's face is deathly pale and his whole body is trembling non-stop because of excruciating pain in his bones, flesh and spirit.

"Cheng-shidi…" the eyes of Li Tian and the others reddened because of tears as they looked at Cheng Sheng.

"This should be due to that unique cultivation of Cheng Sheng." Shu Mu spoke as he, Xiao Le, Xi Ming and Xi Xing appeared behind them and also entered the room.

Xi Ming still looked pale and weak but he can bear it. "Spiritual attacks are the worst." He bitterly smiled as he looked at Cheng Sheng writhing in pain in Fei Yin's arms.

"What?!" Chen Han exclaimed.

"Han-er." Chen Jing called. "How do you think Sheng-er became this good not just in cultivation but also in other areas like alchemy?" he asked. "Including his special eyesight." He added when they saw that Cheng Sheng's eyes slightly opened and they saw that his pupils are glowing like Ling Yun's before.

"This… this…" Chen Han stammered.

"We haven't told you about this before, but Sheng-er's cultivation technique is a forbidden one." Chen Jing spoke.

"That time when the Xinfaxian Sect was attacked… and that Yu Sheng." Xie Lan spoke and for a moment felt his head ached when he spoke the name.

Everyone also felt a strange pain in their heads when they heard the name 'Yu Sheng'. But, it was just for a short time and no one noticed something strange about it… yet. Their attention is focused on Cheng Sheng right now.

And it's because of that they didn't notice Fei Yin's eyes flashed. Yu Sheng. Cheng Sheng's elder brother. He thought as he looked at Cheng Sheng in his arms. Sheng… just when I am almost there in recalling everything, this happened to you. He thought as he clenched his fists that are inside his wide sleeves. He didn't do any actions to not disturb Cheng Sheng. He has been in this position since last night and Sun Rong, Qie Shi, Fei Lin and Xi Ling are taking turns to feed him food and drink. He didn't dare use his qi to alleviate the numbness in his body, fearing that it might affect Cheng Sheng's condition.

After all, he is the one fondest of Cheng Sheng, his lover. Sheng… just wait until I remember everything. Then, I can finally be with you forever. He thought.

"A forbidden cultivation technique…" everyone muttered under their breaths.

"It is forbidden since it can kill." Wu Fan told them. "Cheng Sheng can be said to have 'died' once before… this will be the second time.." He said.
