The Daily Life Of The Scum - Chapter 84 Day 83

Days passed by and Xia Di still isn’t back. Feng Mo started to worry about the beast, but Wu Bai comforted him, telling him that Chen Sheng doesn’t seem worried, so he shouldn’t be worried about the beast, too.

Chen Sheng is the beast’s contracted master, so if something happened to the beast, he must’ve felt it, too.

But, since there’s none…

Feng Mo sighed, relieved, and he finally smiled. “I just hope Xia Di’s fine.” he said.

It’s their second day in BaiLong but they’re still wandering around the forest. Fortunately, they found a river.

Since one direction where the river is running towards is the sea, the other direction where the river is coming from is leading towards the mountain. If lucky, the river could be flowing in a residential area.

And now, they’re going to the direction where the river is coming from.

“Xia Di will be fine. He’s an intelligent beast.” Wu Bai told Feng Mo.

Feng Mo just nodded, his eyes still covered with worry.

“Hey.” ZuZhe called to Fei Yin. Seeing Fei Yin separated from Chen Sheng, he walked beside the other. “When did you transmigrate?” he asked.

“How about you?” Fei Yin asked back.

ZuZhe looked at Fei Yin, then sighed. Fei Yin glanced at ZuZhe, then sighed. Since the two of them are transmigrators, that doesn’t necessarily mean they trust each other. Instead, they should be wary of each other more.

Now that they’re in a world that may not be so dangerous, but not really safe, too…

“15 years ago.” They both said, then turned to each other, surprised.

“… what conspiracy is this?” ZuZhe muttered, then humorlessly laughed.

“… you tell me.” Fei Yin told him, his face serious.

ZuZhe’s eyebrows knit and he looked at Fei Yin. “I don’t follow the other transmigration novels. I’m not the one who brought you here.” He told him. “In fact, as you can see, I am brought here, too.” He added.

“I know.” Fei Yin said. “It was the system who pulled me here. But ” he said and looked at ZuZhe. ” I want to stay here.” He told him.

ZuZhe’s eyes went wide. “Really?” he said, surprised.

Fei Yin didn’t answer and looked at Chen Sheng. ZuZhe looked at Chen Sheng, too, then understood what Fei Yin meant.

In fact, he’s the same as Fei Yin. He fell in love with a character here, too.

“I am a reader.” Fei Yin said when he saw ZuZhe fell silent. He knewZuZhe fell in love, too. He continued. “But, this isn’t the book (world) I first transmigrated. It was other.” He said and told ZuZhe the books he’s been in. “And in those books, I’ve met Sheng.” He said and looked at Chen Sheng’s back, remembering his meetings with Chen Sheng in those worlds.

“…” a sweat broke in ZuZhe’s face. He smiled, awkward. That must be when I sent ‘Hou Sheng’s soul away to take revenge on Yu Sheng. He thought.

Fei Yin continued. “In those worlds, we became lovers. We became familiar with each other’s soul, we immediately recognize each other as we meet again in another world.” He said, then smiled.

ZuZhe smiled, glad he made a right decision to send Chen Sheng’s soul even though it was a pure coincidence

His feet suddenly stopped, his smile froze.

“Zhe?” Yu Sheng called when he saw his lover stopped.

Fei Yin turned when he saw ZuZhe. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

Wu Bai and Feng Mo also stopped, looking at ZuZhe.

Shock can be written in ZuZhe’s face as soon as the word crossed his mind. ‘coincidence’? he thought, wide-eyed, as he remembered the events that happened these past 15 years.

The time he woke up, he met Yu Sheng whose memories returned after his memories been locked. Yu Sheng, having his memories back, his power rose and this made the Upright Sect suspect him going astray. This leads to having his (YS) soul ‘split’.

But actually his soul just separated from ‘Hou Sheng’, actually freeing Chen Sheng’s soul that was stuck with his soul.

ZuZhe then sent Chen Sheng’s soul out of their world, making Chen Sheng travel to different worlds (but ZZ isn’t aware of this). This gave Chen Sheng awareness about other worlds ‘existing’.

Chen Sheng then came back to their world and occupied Chen Shen’s body. He then met Fei Yin, the protagonist of the story, who entered the same sect (Newfound Sect) as him, thinking he’s Chen Shen who ran away from the Chen family.

This started Mu Xie to brew his plan to conquer the power of ‘Hou Sheng’. And, 8 years after, when Mu Jie’s qi deviated, he took the chance to occupy Mu Jie’s body to conquer Chen Sheng.

When the malevolent energy went to Chen Sheng to gobble him whole, Chen Sheng retaliated and subconsciously used his power, embedding it to the talismans he used as a weapon.

This point in time, Xia Di appeared and save Chen Sheng. He then used the chance to make contract with Chen Sheng.

Mu Xie, failed to take Chen Sheng’s power, brewed another plan. Using Li Shan, they stalked Chen Sheng for years and finally, they found him in Newfound Sect.

Right then, they attacked the sect, hoping they could kidnap Chen Sheng. But, they failed.

This led to Chen Sheng being taken away by the Upright Sect to ‘protect’ him, but actually they just wanted to find Yu Sheng who disappeared for 15 years.

During his (CS) stay in the Upright Sect, he ‘accidentally’ recovered his memories, making him recall ‘his’ (Hou Sheng) life as the prince of BaiLong whose soul has been stuck with Yu Sheng the whole time.

Chen Sheng, having back ‘his’ (Hou Sheng) memories, led the group to go to the YuLing Village to make Yu Sheng appear. This exposed the traitors, but more importantly, this concluded that Chen Sheng could never ‘go back’ to Yu Sheng’s soul since he gained ‘awareness’ after all these years.

But, the smart ones knew better. Chen Sheng’s soul is whole to begin with, meaning that he’s never been a part of Yu Sheng’s soul. They realized Chen Sheng has finally been aware that he’s Hou Sheng.

After one problem was uncovered and solved, another existing problem was needed to be solved.

It was the problem of the Newfound Land and Newfound Sect that was attacked. This, surprisingly, was found out to be deeply tied to the Demonic Sect. This is the plan Mu Xie has been brewing for the past years, carefully looking for Chen Sheng and trying to catch him.

All forces combined and fought against Mu Xie, the real perpetrator and not Mu Jie, to protect Chen Sheng. But, turned out it was the other way around.

Chen Sheng protected them all, finally revealing that he got back his memories and he’s aware of who he is.

He’s not Hou Sheng that’s what is sure right now.

Then… who is he?ZuZhe thought. All these… acoincidence? He thought and looked at Chen Sheng, ignoring the others looking at him, puzzled.

Is this really a coincidence? Or… he thought and saw Chen Sheng stopped. His eyes went wide as he held his breath when Chen Sheng slowly turned to him.

He felt his heart stopped beating when Chen Sheng smiled, not amused or whatsoever. A chill ran down his spine.

Everything’s been in favor, as well as revolved, in Chen Sheng. Because… he’s the root of this all. He remembered what Chen Sheng told him last time.

“… I’m not the protagonist.”

If he really is not, then… this is a pretty well made plan.

HuiLong Continent Upright Sect.

Heavy, dark clouds covered the sky of the Upright Land as the thunder roared loudly, making the earth felt like it’s shaking.

The residents immediately ran back to their home as the heavy rainfall finally poured down.

The face of the gentlemen who just arrived not long ago is as dark as the clouds above the sky. They immediately flew from three directions (South, East and West) of the continent and went north after they heard the sect leader of the Upright Sect, Fei Huang, has something very important to tell them.

“You’re saying…” Wu Fan, the Promising Sect’s leader, said. “… you wanted to get married?!” he asked, both shocked and mad, as he glared at Fei Huang who’s leisurely sitting on his throne.

Thunder roared outside and a lightning strike the roof of the Mist Peak Palace where they all are now.

Dark lines covered each one of their already dark face.

“Fan. Don’t be mad because you’re jealous. I’m planning to file a divorce with A-Qing, much to her delight and consent, so that I could immediately marry you ” it was none other than Chen Jing.

Wu Fan’s face went red, embarrassed, as he turned to Chen Jing. “R really…?” he asked, hopeful.

Chen Jing smiled brightly and nodded.

“Uhm…” it was Ming Ye, an elder of the Promising Sect. “Sect Leader Wu, Chen Patriarch.” He called. “I guess this isn’t ” he said and grimaced, embarrassed of their sect leader and the greatest supporter of their sect.

Well, getting married is the first that Fei Huang announced. But, calling for all the sect leaders is…

“It’s about Sheng-er… am I right?” Xie Lan said, breaking the silence.

The already cold air became even colder. None uttered another word as they all looked at each other.

“… what happened to Ah Sheng?” Chen Jing asked, his face solemn.

Even though they (Chen family) found out Chen Sheng occupied Chen Shen’s body, but they warmly welcomed him because they already treated him as their family. No matter what they’d find on Chen Sheng, they’ll still welcome him with warm and open arms.

Now, something happened to Chen Sheng again.

Fei Huang spoke. “Chen Patriarch already heard about Chen Sheng’s unknown identity.” He said.

They know his origin BaiLong. Only that, his (CS) identity isn’t clear to them.

Chen Jing nodded. “Yes.” He answered. “He’s the prince of BaiLong Continent ” he said, his face serious. ” Hou Sheng.” He said.

“Yes.” Fei Huang said. “But, unfortunately ” he said, his face went serious as he looked at Chen Sheng’s peers, as well as his sect family. Their face is covered in worry and anxiety. ” his status (identity) needs to be updated.” He told them.

Their eyes went wide. For a second, a deafening silence can be heard. The next after that

BOOM! ZZZ! CRASH!

Multiple thunders can be heard and lightning can be seen as if they’re racing against each other in the heavy dark sky of the Upright Land.

The surroundings became as dark as the night and only the torches in the Mist Peak Palace is lighting the now silent palace, despite it’s filled with many cultivators all with different sect and different levels of cultivation.

The ground shook but immediately stopped.

Xie Lan and Fang Wen released their Immortal Stage aura earlier. But, they stopped when they saw Li Tian, Lei Ling and some of their disciples that they brought with them, their face pale.

The Promising Sect and the Demonic Sect are silently looking at the Newfound Sect. After all, Chen Sheng is a disciple of them and that their sect is greatly affected as to what will they found about Chen Sheng.

Xie Lan took a deep breath to calm himself. His mask has been seared at the edge because of his aura earlier. But, he didn’t care, since the welfare of his ‘child’ is more important.

He looked at Fei Huang. “May this Junior know what Senior Fei is talking about?” he calmly asked and bowed.

Fang Wen wanted to speak, but he held himself back with great effort. He can’t be reckless.

All eyes fell on Fei Huang, whose face now serious as he looked at the Newfound Sect. “I know you’re aware.” He said. “Chen Sheng, even though he’s the prince of BaiLong, wouldn’t have that much power (qi) to compete against Mu Xie.” He said.

Xie Lan and Fang Wen fell silent.

Fei Huang leaned on his chair. “I know that we all already talked about this.” he said, referring to when Chen Sheng and his group left HuiLong to go to BaiLong. “We learned that when the prince, Hou Sheng, was born, his body is weak because of the malevolent energy that affected him.” he started. “Thus, his soul was tied to Yu Sheng, who was born the same time as him, to hold his strong soul.” he said.

Xi Ling lowered his head. Yu Sheng is his adopted brother. Fei Lin patted his wife’s back, consoling him.

“And so, with the three realms destroyed to protect the royal family of BaiLong, who escaped because of the rebellion…” Fei Huang said, then glanced at Mu Jun. He then turned to the silent Newfound Sect. “The three realms became three continents, which one where we live now.” he said. “Yu Sheng, having his soul tied with a slumbering powerful soul, he slept for 100 years.” He continued. “He then woke up, and returned to his ‘village’, where his parents once lived, 15 years ago. But ” he said, then crossed his legs. He took a deep breath as his eyes fell on Xi Ling. ” when exactly did Yu Sheng woke up?” he asked.

Everybody’s eyes went wide, finally it dawned on them. They only knew Yu Sheng was adopted by the Xi family. As to where Yu Sheng is before that…

Their eyes fell on Xi Ling, who seemed to wake up after Fei Lin whispered to whim.

Xi Ling’s face went serious. He looked at Fei Huang, then respectfully bowed. “My family met with Sheng ge’s parents when I was around 13.” He answered.

“… and so Yu Sheng must been awake before that.” Fei Huang said.

Sience fell.

“Sect Leader Fei.” Luo Shi called, then bowed. “The one who could answer these questions is standing beside you.” He said and looked at Mu Jun who’s silently standing beside Fei Huang.

They all looked at Mu Jun. Mu Jun’s face is blank.

Fei Huang turned to them. “He’s the one who made me brought these questions out.” he told Lou Shi.

They all mentally grimaced, but kept a straight face.

“Sect Leader Fei.” Fang Wen called, can’t bear to not speak. He’s too worried about Chen Sheng. “What do you really want to tell us?” he asked and looked at Fei Huang, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Fei Huang looked at him, then sighed. He knew the nature of his junior brother, since he’s been silently watching him, Xie Lan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi back then when they all were still studying in the Upright Sect.

“Chen Sheng must be the one who woke up Yu Sheng.” He answered.

A deafening silence fell even just a drop of water could be heard.

This time, Mu Jun speak up. “The prince, Hou Sheng, died the moment the queen gave birth to him.” he started.

Everybody’s mouth fell open, shocked. They never expected this. Hou Sheng must’ve been used by Chen Sheng, but they never expected the prince would die.

Mu Jun continued. “The queen had a miscarriage. Also, even if the prince lived but he’ll still die sooner because his body that’s of BaiLong’s can’t take the malevolent energy and impure qi of the middle realm.” He explained.

Silence.

He continued. “But, I was shocked when the prince who’s supposed to be dead had lived.” Mu Jun said. “Even Yu Sheng’s parents, as well as the king, didn’t expect it. They thought it was a miracle. The queen is the one who’s the happiest.” He said, then smiled. After a second his smile faded and was replaced by a frown. “But, the soul inside the prince is stronger than it should be. The king then transferred the soul to Yu Sheng’s body.” He said. “Yu Sheng fell asleep after that, the soul inside him assimilating in his body. When the king and queen returned to BaiLong, they met their death. I left the ‘prince’ in Yu Sheng’s parents hands to go after the king and queen. But ” he said, didn’t continue.

The atmosphere inside the palace hall became solemn. Even though they never met the people (king and queen), but they couldn’t help but grieve for them. The royal family’s line has ended.

Mu Jun drew a sharp breath and continued. “When I came back here, I didn’t found Yu Sheng’s parents, as well as Yu Sheng. Only the prince’s body is left, which is lying inside the cave.” He said.

Everybody’s face went serious, enlightened of the hidden power inside the cave in the north (YuLing).

After a while, Xie Lan broke the silence. “How can you say Sheng-er… Chen Sheng woke Yu Sheng?” he asked, then gritted his teeth.

He glanced at Fang Wen. Fang Wen lowered his head, biting his lip. He doesn’t want to believe their ‘child’ is not the child that they knew before.

Mu Jun looked at Xie Lan. “For 100 years, Yu Sheng is asleep.” He said. “He was left with his parents, but they don’t have enough power that could wake him up, even if the Soul Techniques that I left with them.” He said. “They don’t have enough power to use the Soul Techniques, since they’re originally from middle realm.” He added.

“But…” Xi Ling said. “I could use that Soul Technique…” he said.

Mu Jun looked at him. “Of course you could.” He said. “You’re a cultivator, but Yu Sheng’s parents are not.” He explained.

Xi Ling fell silent, don’t know if he should feel relieved he could use the Soul Technique or that he should feel guilty since the Soul Technique is from BaiLong.

“How did Yu Sheng woke up, then?” Xie Lan asked.

Mu Jun looked at him. “I’ve made a mistake.” He said.

Their forehead knotted. But, before they could ask, Fei Huang spoke.

“It’s not Yu Sheng who woke up.” he said. “It is Chen Sheng.” He told them.

The lightning flashed and the sky roared once again.
