The Scum Is A ***

"So, the demons that are left are stronger, that is why you sold the magic pills and potions at the cheapest price?" Chen Su said as he talked with Cui Xiang.

"Yes." Cui Xiang nodded as she brewed potions. "Since the demons are stronger, naturally, we would need to use more energy to deal against them. Also, we would definitely sustain more injuries. So, we would need more magic pills and potions to restore our strength, as well as treat our wounds and injuries." She explained.

"X – Xiang-jie… y – you… you are too nice…" Chen Yu shyly spoke as he looked at Cui Xiang.

"It is alright. There is nothing wrong with being kind to others." Cui Xiang said.

Chen Su and Chen Yu nodded in agreement.

"Hm? Er Zi? You are awake now?" Cui Xiang asked after she turned and saw Fei Yinzi coming out of his and Wen Wen's tent.

"En." Fei Yinzi nodded. "Thank you, Xiang-jie." He said after Cui Xiang handed him a cup of water while Chen Yu gave him a bowl of porridge.

"Er Zi. Do you feel fine now?" Chen Su asked in concern.

"Yes. Thank you." Fei Yinzi smiled as he ate. "Did everyone go farm points already?" he asked when he saw that only them are present in the camp.

"Yes. You still are recuperating so they didn't wake you." Chen Su answered.

"But, I am already fine – " Fei Yinzi said.

Cui Xiang cut him off. "Er Zi. You are still a patient!" she said as she frowned. "Patients need to rest, instead of forcing themselves to do strenuous activities like killing demons!" she told him.

Fei Yinzi was frightened. "Y – yes, Xiang-jie. I am sorry." He immediately said as he shrank his neck.

"Good." Cui Xiang nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Chen Su snickered while Chen Yu forced himself not to laugh.

"After a night of rest, you can go hop about tomorrow." Cui Xiang said. "For now, if you can move, then you go watch over Wen Wen since Wen Wen needs to rest, too." She told him.

"Yes, Xiang-jie." Fei Yinzi obediently answered after he took another cup of water and a bowl of porridge and then went back to his and Wen Wen's tent.

Cui Xiang feels happy with Fei Yinzi's obedient attitude and she started refining magic pills. She doesn't need to worry about the fragrant medicinal scent would diffuse in the surroundings and attract the demons since Wen Wen and Su Yi have already laid a barrier with their talismans and spells in their camp.

"Hm? Brother?" Chen Yu asked when he saw Chen Su's pensive expression after he turned to look at him. He followed his gaze and saw that Chen Su is looking at Fei Yinzi.

They saw Fei Yinzi's back before Fei Yinzi disappeared after he entered the tent.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Chen Yu asked, feeling puzzled by his elder brother's pensive gaze on Fei Yinzi. "Is there something wrong with Er Zi?" he asked.

Chen Su finally retracted his gaze. He turned to Chen Yu. "Really good since you don't stutter right now." He smiled and patted Chen Yu's head.

Chen Yu's face flushed, feeling shy. "B – brother… brother overpraise… overpraise me…" he said.

Chen Su. "…" I just complimented you yet you stuttered again. He thought and heaved a sigh.

Chen Yu saw that Chen Su's expression now returned to the usual. "T – then, brother… why are you l – looking at Er Zi like that e – earlier?" he asked.

Chen Su, again. "…" I just praised you so that your attention would be diverted from what you have seen of me earlier and to not ask about this again, yet you actually still remember?! He thought as his face was covered in black lines.

Chen Yu saw that his elder brother's expression changed again and felt worried. "Brother… do you have a stomachache?" he asked and immediately took out a qiankun pouch filled with their medicines.

"No, no…" Chen Su raised his hand and shook his head to refuse. "I am fine…" he answered.

"Then, why do you look unwell?" Chen Yu asked.

Chen Su heaved a sigh. "Well, I was just thinking…" he answered.

"Hm…?" Chen Yu tilted his head as he stared at his elder brother whom he doesn't know what he is talking about. "What is it?" he directly asked.

Chen Su's brow twitched. "I am thinking why Er Zi didn't ask us earlier." He answered.

"Ask us? About what?" Chen Yu blinked.

"… about how he was saved from dying." Chen Su answered.

Chen Yu's eyes turned round, making him look so adorable. "Right…" he muttered when he realized it. "Usually, a patient would ask when they wake up what happened to them and what is their illness." He said. "Also, they would also ask who took care of them…" he added.

"That's right." Chen Su nodded in agreement. "But, Er Zi didn't." he said.

Chen Yu looked at his elder brother. "Why?" he asked.

Chen Su's lip twitched. "… am I Er Zi to know what he is thinking?" he asked back. "I am also not a roundworm in his stomach so I wouldn't know what he usually thinks." He said and heaved a sigh. "But, I have a hunch." He told him.

Chen Yu was surprised. "What is it?!" he asked.

Chen Su crossed his arms over his chest as he pinched his chin while he is thinking. "Since Er Zi didn't ask anything, then he should know about everything." He answered.

"Really?!" Chen Yu asked.

"En." Chen Su nodded, confident with his guess. "Er Zi is a kind of person who pays back a hundredfold after someone helps him." he said.

"Yeah…" Chen Yu agreed. "And he would pay you back a thousand fold if you will slight him… ah, no!" he shook his head when he recalled something. "It is little uncle – mm!" he cried when Chen Su suddenly covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.

"Chen. Yu!" Chen Su called through his gritted teeth. "The Cleansing Stone is. Still. O. Pen!" he hissed as he glanced at their Cleansing Stones lying on the side.

Since there is nothing to do, they thought that they would just open their Cleansing Stones to have the audience watching them look at their beautiful camp. But, Chen Su couldn't have thought that the airhead Chen Yu would speak these words. Isn't this just talking bad about their uncle?!

It is over! They are over! It would be them who their little uncle would beat a thousand fold! Chen Su thought as his face turned green. Meanwhile, Chen Yu's eyes widened in horror and his face paled when he realized what he just said.

Everyone outside who is watching the competition. "…" they wanted to look at Cheng Sheng to see his expression but they dare not since they are afraid that Cheng Sheng would beat them a thousand fold.

"Pft." Fei Yin chuckled as he kneaded Cheng Sheng's hand endearingly. He is the only one who dared to laugh at a time like this. Who made him Cheng Sheng's lover?

"Da. Shi. Xiong!" Cheng Sheng called through his gnashed teeth. His face is dark as if it is brewing a storm.

Li Tian, Feng Mo and the others scooted away from him. The only one who remained, aside from Fei Yin, is Fan Wen.

Fan Wen smiled. "Well, this isn't as bad as it is, xiao Sheng." He said in a mild tone. "You really should hit them back if they hit you, or else they would think that you are a pushover." He told him.

Cheng Sheng didn't speak.

"Also – " Fan Wen continued when he recalled something. " – there is someone worse than this… your founder would always beat that person who harmed him, even just the slightest." He said.

The audience. "…"

The elders. "…"

The sect leaders and the Righteous Alliance. "…"

Xie Lan. "…" Wen, you really harmed me… my reputation this time… is it right to reveal my black history just to comfort our fourth child… ehem, disciple?! Does xiao Sheng even need to be comforted?! he thought with his face covered in dark lines. And, if Cheng Sheng really needs to be comforted, doesn't he still have Fei Yin?!

But, even though Fan Wen harmed Xie Lan… 's reputation, Xie Lan, of course, would never beat Fan Wen. Who made him love Fan Wen so much?

Like founder (Xie Lan), like disciple (Cheng Sheng) indeed. They lost to love.

…

Fei Yinzi sat on the chair beside Wen Wen's bed and he stared at the other sleeping peacefully. Chen Su's guess is right. He really knows what had transpired while he was on the verge of dying. He was delirious, but that doesn't mean he has become stupid and has lost his senses to not hear and understand what the people around him was saying.

"A – are you sure this is right?" he heard Wen Wen's voice nervously asked. 

"Do you think transferring qi is as easy as breathing?" xiao Ling sharply said. "If we could, we could have made you strip all of your clothes! Fei Yinzi's condition isn't normal, and he will die if he won't be treated in time. To transfer qi to him, you have to transfer qi through the mouth for Fei Yinzi to ingest it. And to make his body temperature cool down, you have to be skin to skin since your body is cooler than the other humans due to our spiritual root." He explained. 

But, of course, xiao Bao and xiao Ling can't just make Wen Wen strip naked.. Thus, they only made him wear his inner robes and they began.
