The Scum Is A ***

Next day, morning.

Yu Sheng walked towards the deck. He raised his hand to cover his mouth to yawn when he paused after he saw Lei Ling leaning on the rails. Lei Ling was looking at the giant river situated in between the canyons, just like a giant snake tearing, winding on the land. "You woke up too early." He said as he walked towards Lei Ling.

Lei Ling turned and greeted him. "Yu-ge… you also woke up too early. Weren't you cleaning the demonic cultivators surrounding the ship for the whole night? You didn't get enough sleep?" he asked.

"En." Yu Sheng hummed a response.

Lei Ling felt pity to Yu Sheng. Among them all, Yu Sheng worked the hardest along with Zuo Zhe. Speaking of Zuo Zhe… "Where is young master Zuo?" he asked when he didn't see Zuo Zhe with Yu Sheng.

Hearing his question, Yu Sheng evilly grinned. "He won't be waking up soon." He answered.

Lei Ling. "…" I now understand. He didn't sleep because he is sleeping with Zuo Zhe…

"Jing Kang still hasn't woken up?" Yu Sheng asked after seeing the dark circles under Lei Ling's eyes.

Lei Ling froze, then hung his head and shook it. "No." he answered, feeling dispirited.

"He is aware that each one of us has a role to play. He didn't want to add burden to Jing Rui, so he took the task of sealing the Ni Lai Gate on his own." Yu Sheng said. "Fortunately, his cultivation has increased after passing the Intersect Competition. Or else, if he did this stunt with his former level of cultivation…" he looked at Lei Ling.

Lei Ling understood. Jing Kang would have died if his cultivation was like before. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Yu-ge." He said.

Yu Sheng nodded.

"You also woke up early…" Jing Hei said as he rubbed his eyes while he and Qian Lin walked towards them.

Lei Ling and Yu Sheng turned. "Good morning." They greeted.

"Good morning." Qian Lin greeted back.

"Where are the others?" Jing Hei asked as he looked around.

"Kitchen." Lei Ling answered. "You-shimei is cooking while adding medicinal herbs to increase everyone's strength. Sect leader Qian, as well as elder Fei and my jie, went to help her cut the ingredients, start the fire and wash the dishes." He explained.

Yu Sheng, Jing Hei and Qian Lin. "…" why does it sound so discomforting and look awkward when they imagined the scene?

Lei Qing helping You Rou is reasonable because she is a woman. Qian Tian, although a sect leader, helping You Rou work is also reasonable since they have seen and understood yesterday that Qian Tian has offended You Rou.

But, Fei Lin… he looks like a respectable elder. He is also the eldest son of the Fei Clan. Coupled with that handsome visage of him, it looks impossible to see him working in the kitchen. "Elder Fei…" they said. He is too handsome to the point they were almost blinded by his face.

To have him work… this looks like wronging him.

Lei Ling has just realized the 'problem'. "Sect leader Qian volunteered to help my shimei when he saw her finished checking the patients' condition earlier this morning. Elder Fei heard them talking and he also wanted to help, since elder Xi's condition has now stabilized." He explained. "My jie happened to pass by and told sect leader Qian and elder Fei that them, women, would do it, but the two insisted. So…" his voice trailed off.

They all gaped, feeling awed by Fei Lin's kindness and dedication to work. "Elder Fei is very hardworking!" they said.

Lei Ling smiled while Yu Sheng nodded, feeling impressed of Fei Lin. "Today, you and you – " Yu Sheng said as he pointed to Qian Lin and Jing Hei. " – as well as Lei Qing. You three will go capture a demonic cultivator." He told them.

"'capture'?" Qian Lin and Jing Hei looked at each other.

Yu Sheng nodded. "Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and Wu Yuan have already entered the Heilong Realm at this time. They can't send us messages to update us of their situation, and of what they have found out." He said. "But, we can't wait for them to return to tell us everything. Wu Ran's forces that are attacking us are stronger than the previous one. So, we can only fend off for ourselves and gather information our own way, then figure out the next step we will be taking." He explained.

Lei Ling, Qian Lin and Jing Hei nodded. "We understand!" they answered.

"Good." Yu Sheng smiled, feeling satisfied. "Fei Lin and Qian Tian have fought yesterday. Although their condition is better than the others, but we should make them avoid fighting. Let's keep them as our back up." He told them.

"Yes!" they nodded.

"Don't worry." Yu Sheng said as he looked at them. "You have me guarding your back. The Millennium Ship continues to fly, but in a slow pace. We have to gather as much information as we could, so we will delay the time of our confrontation against Wu Ran, for us to not be put at a disadvantage when the time comes." He explained. "No need for you three to kill the demonic cultivators. Just catching one will do." He told them.

"We understand!" Qian Lin and Jing Hei answered.

"Yu-ge, I promise to increase the strength of the ship's barriers to keep everyone in the ship safe." Lei Ling said.

"Good." Yu Sheng patted their shoulder. "But, before we do all these – " he said.

Lei Ling, Qian Lin and Jing Hei immediately tensed up and perked up their ears to listen.

" – let's eat breakfast first!" Yu Sheng said. "We can't just go fight with an empty stomach, can we?" he asked as he grinned, seeming to be in a good mood.

Lei Ling, Qian Lin and Jing Hei. "…" he has a point… they thought as they touched their abdomen when their stomach growled.

At this time, they saw Lei Qing came out and waved at them. "The breakfast is now ready!" she said. "After you eat, you feed the patients, okay?" she said.

They all looked at each other and nodded. "Yes!" they answered as they turned back to Lei Qing and waved back.

 "Let's go!" Yu Sheng said as he pushed them from behind.

"En!" they nodded and ran after Lei Qing, as if afraid there wouldn't be any food left for them.

Ignoring the new batch of demonic cultivators that appeared on the canyon beneath them, throwing attacks at them, they went inside the cabin to eat, unlike these demonic cultivators who, not only have to work very early to harass them, but they also couldn't go back to eat unless they have killed them, as per their master's order.

The life of a demonic cultivator is also hard.

Heilong Realm.

"How many is this now?" Cheng Sheng asked after he kicked the corpse of the demonic cultivator off to the river like he had just kicked a soccer ball to the goal.

"One hundred three." Fei Yin answered as he slit the throat of the demonic cultivator. The demonic cultivator's corpse collapsed on the ground. "This is one hundred four." He said, then turned to Wu Yuan whose face is as cold as ice as he mercilessly chopped off the demonic cultivator's head before the demonic cultivator could shriek. "That's one hundred five." He added.

Yesterday, as they expected, they haven't gone far from the inn after they have eaten their lunch, they were ambushed. Three groups of demonic cultivators surrounded them from all sides. Fortunately, they have just eaten, so they are brimming with energy. They don't need to use qi, and just used pure martial arts to kill all of the demonic cultivators. It took three hours for them to kill them all.

Seeing that the demonic cultivators that attacked them were only three groups, they didn't lower their guard, since they could guess there are more to come for them as they continue their travel. And they weren't off the mark, since in less than an hour, they encountered two groups. After that, every hour, they would encounter another group. This lasted until late at night.

They could finally eat their dinner. But, could they really relax their guard? They wouldn't, much less in this kind of place – the Heilong Realm, the territory of the demonic cultivators. Thus, in the middle of their dinner, arrows rained down on them. Fei Yin's face became as black as the bottom of the pot he used to cook their dinner. Not only their food was wasted after it was ruined and had become cold, but his lover's dinner was interrupted! What if Cheng Sheng would become thin?! Thus, he went on a killing spree.

If Wu Yuan knew what Fei Yin was thinking that time, he would've rolled his eyes. If Cheng Sheng would have known what his lover thought that time, he would've kissed Fei Yin.
