The Daily Life Of The Scum - Chapter 64 Day 63

Actually, the massive malevolent energy is coming in one direction the Newfound Sect people’s direction.

Their eyes went wide, shocked.

“Go!” Xie Lan yelled as everybody mounted their sword and flew, trying to find cover. He pulled Fang Wen as they flew away.

“Yes!” Fei Yin, Li Tian and Feng Mo answered. They immediately mounted on their sword.

Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they remembered someone who can’t even fly on his sword. They immediately turned and their already pale face went paler as they felt their heart stopped when they saw the malevolent energy going to that someone’s direction.

“Sheng er!” Fang Wen screamed. Xie Lan’s eyes went wide.

“Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Fen Mo called.

“Ah Sheng!” Chen Han, from the Promising Sect’s group, yelled. Sun Yi and Wu Yuan’s face are pale as they stared at the horrifying scene before them.

“Sheng!” Fei Yin called.

Chen Sheng isn’t stupid. He didn’t even freeze in place since he’s been to many different dangers in different worlds. He calmly fished out the Heaven’s Touch from his pocket and took some talismans and lit them.

Everybody’s eyes went wide as they watch an old blanket flew in front of Chen Sheng, covering him. Their mouth fell open, more shocked when they saw countless burning talisman’s flew in front of the old blanket, going to intercept the massive amount of malevolent energy. They all stood, frozen, on their sword as they watched the massive malevolent energy finally hit the talismans.

They all covered themselves with barriers as they felt the deafening and oppressing impact.

“Ugh – !” they cried as they were pressed back by the continuous impact of the malevolent energy hitting the walls of talismans.

They all turned, straining, to look at the lone and weak disciple that’s intercepting the malevolent energy alone for the numerous high level cultivators that chickened out.

Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they saw Chen Sheng still standing resolutely. Although he was pushed back, but he’s continuously burning talismans to replace the ones that was burned out.

Their mouth fell open, even more shocked, and forgot to help the mere disciple as they stared at him in awe.

“Aiaia… so this is what you are.” Chen Sheng muttered as he watches the blanket turned whiter as it ‘eat’ the malevolent energy. He continued taking out talismans.

He made thousands last night, anyway.

“Who the hell is that?!” the cultivators said, shocked, as they stared at Chen Sheng and the old blanket that turned new.

They can’t move because of the oppressing pressure they felt from the interception of the malevolent energy and Chen Sheng’s talismans and now white as snow blanket.

“Sheng er!” Fang Wen called.

“Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called.

“Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.

“Sheng!” Fei Yin called, gritting his teeth.

“‘Chen… Sheng’…?” Fei Lin and Xi Ling said and looked at each other, then looked at Chen Sheng. They already heard and saw earlier that Chen Sheng is still in Qi Condensation Stage.

For him to intercept the massive malevolent energy even them, Nascent Soul and Immortal Stage cultivators fled from… this disciple isn’t an ordinary one as you may think.

The stalemate lasted until Chen Sheng used up three quarters of his talismans. The blanket also looked as white as snow. The stalemate stopped since the malevolent energy was mostly ‘eaten’ by the blanket.

Everybody stared at Chen Sheng in awe. They were about to celebrate since he stopped single-handedly the malevolent energy and was about to fly towards him when suddenly, another massive wave of malevolent energy came rushing towards Chen Sheng.

Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they looked at Chen Sheng. They knew he used up almost all of his talismans and the blanket seemed full, so intercepting another wave, stronger than before, Chen Sheng surely will meet his death.

“Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called.

“Sheng er!” Fang Wen and Xie Lan called.

“Brother Chen – !” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.

“Sheng!” Fei Yin called.

They all flew towards Chen Sheng. They were almost near as well as the malevolent energy to Chen Sheng when they were all, including the malevolent energy, was blown away by a whirlwind.

“Arrh!” they all exclaimed.

But, the whirlwind didn’t stop and continued to blow the malevolent energy, fiercer than ever, away from the lone disciple. The cultivators that’re mounted on their sword were almost knocked over.

Is it that disciple again? they all thought and turned. But, another surprise met them when they saw it was a beast. It has six humongous wings and the beast is as tall as a two story house. Every waves of wind the humongous wings of the beast threw to the malevolent energy sends the malevolent energy scattering over the land.

This woke the cultivators up and they all immediately took out their magic tools to prevent the malevolent energy from scattering. But, too late, since most of the malevolent energy was already spread out of the demonic land and into the Newfound Land, and they know it’ll continue to spread to the Promising Land which is in the west side of the Demonic Land.

Seeing the malevolent energy dispersed, the beast stopped flapping its wings.

“That’s ” one of the disciples of one of the sects said, staring at the beast.

“Thousand Six-Winged Eagle!” the other disciples exclaimed.

Murmurs can be heard as they all descended. They all started to collect malevolent energy as much as they could. The others went to crowd the beast that’s in a staring stalemate with Chen Sheng.

“Sheng er!” Fang Wen called and ran towards Chen Sheng, throwing his sword away. Xie Lan immediately caught it and followed Fang Wen, who’s also being followed by Fei Yin, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Chen Han.

“Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called and hugged Chen Sheng.

“Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Feng Mo called jumped to hug Chen Sheng on his other side.

“… Brother Chen…” Fei Yin called, holding himself back not to hug Chen Sheng.

But Chen Sheng ignored them and continued to do a staring contest with the beast.

“Sheng er?” Fang Wen called, worry all over his face. He looked at the beast who’s still staring at Chen Sheng, totally ignoring everybody.

It was Fei Huang who broke the silence in the Newfound Sect’s group. “A shame for all of us, but the hero of this unfortunate event if the disciple of the Newfound Sect.” he said and looked at Chen Sheng.

But, Chen Sheng is still looking at the beast. Dark lines covered Fei Huang’s face, ignored for the first time.

Fei Lin, an elder of the Upright Sect, cleared his throat, saving his and Fei Yin’s uncle’s face. “Yin er.” He called his brother and smiled, trying to shift the attention from Fei Huang to them.

But, Fei Yin just ignored his elder brother and continued to watch, together with others, Chen Sheng who’s in a stalemate with the beast.

The other cultivators also noticed something’s wrong with the group and they all gathered around. “What? What’s happening?”

“That disciple earlier ”

“And the beast ”

” forming a contract?”

That question woke everyone up.

“Brother Chen?” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.

“Sheng er?” Fang Wen called.

“Ah Sheng?” Chen Han called.

“Did something happen with your brother?” Sun Yi asked Chen Han as he, Wu Yuan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi, together with their sect leader, joined their group.

“That disciple is a genius in making talismans.” the Promising Sect leader, Wu Yuan’s father, said. He’s looking at Chen Sheng. “A shame the second young master of the family that’s our biggest supporter joined another sect…” he sighed, disappointed.

Chen Han fell silent. Ming Ye and Luo Shi grimaced as they called Xie Lan since Fang Wen is still occupied by their disciple.

“Junior Brother Xie.”

Xie Lan turned to them.

“What happened to Younger Chen?” Ming Ye asked.

Fei Huang, Fei Lin and Xi Ling looked at Xie Lan.

Xie Lan shook his head. “I also want to know.” He said and looked at Chen Sheng, his eyes beneath the mask narrowed.

“The blanket is called Heaven’s Touch.” Fei Huang suddenly said.

They all turned, but no surprise on their face. Only that their thoughts had just been confirmed.

They nodded and looked at Chen Sheng who’s the owner of the Heaven’s Touch, one of the world’s lost treasures. As to why lost treasures, it’s rooted as to how the HuiLong Continent was created.

It is said, in the beginning, that there’s only one but massive continent in this world (Pangaea! XD). But, due to some reason, that massive continent was divided in three. One is this continent, HuiLong. One is BaiLong, where only pure qi resides on the land. And the other is HeiLong, opposite of BaiLong, where negative qi/malevolent energy resides.

The two continents BaiLong and HeiLong, were just myths, since first, there’s no such thing as a paradise where only pure qi is around, and hell where only malevolent energy is around. Two, none have seen the two continents, and so the existence of two continents are yet to be proven.

Now what are the lost treasures? It is said that the ancients who lived while the continents are still one, both found and created treasures while they lived. The pure and negative qi has long been existed as the ancients also existed, since qi comes from a person, and so negative qi.

Since negative qi has been deemed a harm by the ancients, they used the treasures they found, and also the treasures they created, to collect and store the negative qi. Their magic items and divining tools are where they came from. But, the lost treasures are far stronger than the magic items and divining tools, since they’re the one the ancients has used and had existed for thousands of years.

And this Heaven’s Touch is just one of those lost treasures. As to how it ended up in Chen Sheng’s hands, they have yet to know.

But, seems like it’ll be in their next lifetime they’ll know the answer since not only the Newfound Sect people, but also the Promising Sect and Upright Sect people are glaring at the other cultivators, saw greed in their eyes as they maliciously looked at the oblivious Chen Sheng who’s still in a stalemate with the beast.

Finally, the stalemate has been broken when the beast sensed the malicious stares of the other cultivators to Chen Sheng. Like the others, he glared at the cultivators, who immediately flew away, leaving the three group to deal with the aftermath.

The beast turned to Chen Sheng. “Master.” it called.

Everybody’s eyes went wide, shocked, when they heard what the beast said. “‘master’?!” they said as they looked at Chen Sheng, gaping.

Chen Sheng ignored them and looked at the beast. “No.” he said, making their jaw drop. “I don’t feel like keeping a pet.” He added, making the others’ eyeballs pop out of their eye sockets.

The beast looked at Chen Sheng, persistent. “I saved your life so you should compensate me.” it told Chen Sheng, making the others looked dumbfounded.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around?! they thought, looking at the beast begging Chen Sheng where it should be Chen Sheng the one to beg the beast, asking for what compensation should he give the beast.

But, they knew better. Chen Sheng is a scum. They shouldn’t be surprised since the turns in the events are just natural when Chen Sheng, the scum cultivator, is involved.

“I’m the one who should compensate you, so the compensation is left on me.” Chen Sheng told the beast.

Dark lines covered everybody’s face.

“… but I want a contract as a compensation from you.” The beast said.

Chen Sheng looked at the beast blankly. “Sad to say, but I don’t want a pet.” He said, his voice flat.

More dark lines covered their face. It’s ‘contracted beast’, not ‘pet’! they all thought, wanted to cry this to Chen Sheng.

Dark lines covered the beast’s face.

“E hem.” Fang Wen, the most sensible one among all of them coughed to the point his cough got longer than it should. He turned to Chen Sheng and forced a smile. “S Sheng er…” he called. “S shouldn’t you welcome the beast since it helped us earlier ?” he asked, emphasizing the word ‘us’ to make Chen Sheng feel more responsible. “It’s also beneficial to us if you’ve got a contracted beast ” he said, emphasizing the word ‘us’ again.

Dark lines started to cover everyone’s face again, while Xie Lan just grinned.

” we’ll not be worried about you anymore since we’ll be assured because there’s your contracted beast to protect you ” he continued, now emphasizing the word ‘we’.

They just all fell silent.

Chen Sheng wanted to say, ‘How about one of you make a contract with this beast?”, but bit his tongue since it’s Fang Wen, their ‘holy mother’, asking him. He pressed his lips tight to the point it’s as thin as the paper, indicating he’s holding himself back not to snap.

Fang Wen saw this, and so he bit his lip and lowered his head. He doesn’t want to make his disciple feel guilty, but he has to so that his disciple could have another one to protect him in the form of this beast.

Xie Lan pulled his ‘wife’ towards him and consoled him.

“Alright.” Chen Sheng said, his face dark.

Everybody’s about to sigh, relieved, when they saw Chen Sheng’s expression. They fell silent. They knew if there’s a benefit, there’s also a discredit if you’ll make a contract with a beast.

You share your life with each other.

“Ah Sheng.” Chen Han called. “If you don’t want, then don’t push yourself ” he told him.

Chen Sheng cut him off. “I already said ‘alright’!” he snapped, making everyone jump, shocked.

This is the first time Chen Sheng got mad in front of them. He didn’t even get mad when he faced the malevolent energy alone while everyone, whose level are far higher than his, took cover to save themselves.

But, he’s mad making a contract with the beast. Just why? They all thought, puzzled.

Chen Sheng gritted his teeth, not even sorry he snapped. He glared at the beast. He already read tons of books about making a contract with a beast, and he knew they’re all beneficial if you make contract with one.

But, he doesn’t want to! Why? It’s because you and your contracted beast will share, not only each other’s life, but also each other’s thoughts! And Chen Sheng, as a scum, doesn’t want his thoughts to be known. Not because he has perverted thoughts well, only towards the ‘unique items’, but because his secret of crossing worlds will be known!

But he thought as he looked at the worried faces around him. He gritted his teeth and glared at the beast. Fine, then! He thought as he raised his hand and touched the beast’s head, making them surprised. Read my thoughts, if that could prolong my life! He thought and closed his eyes as light started to flow out from his hand and the beast’s head where he’s touching. I still need to find Yin! he thought.

“Master.’” A voice called inside Chen Sheng’s head.

Chen Sheng didn’t answer.

The voice sighed. “Alright. Just call me when you want to.” It said and disappeared, followed by the flapping of wings.

Chen Sheng opened his eyes, in time to see the beast flew away. Everyone knows Chen Sheng must’ve sent it away since he’s still pissed. They didn’t know they’ll see the beast again 7 years later, which made them almost forgot him.

“Alright.” It was Fei Huang, breaking the silence. “Let’s head to the Demonic Sect ” he said and was about to leave when a voice spoke.

“No need.” A voice said.

They all turned and found a young man wearing black robe.

“You’re facing the entirety of the Demonic Sect just right here.” The young man said and looked at them. “I’m the new sect leader of the Demonic Sect, Mu Xin.” He said, his face turned serious. “I’d like to make a peace treaty with you.” He told them.

“… huh?” they all said, dumbfounded.

Not only a demonic cultivator appeared before them, but it’s actually their leader. More so, a new leader of their sect.

Also… it’s proposing a peace treaty to them?!
