Chapter 18 - 18: I'm back bitches

Author's Note: I would soon re-edit some of my previous chapters so there wouldn't be any confusion.

Enjoy the chapter! Also, can anyone tell me on how to make the words go glitchy? I'll forever be thankful!

<Scene Break>

"San-gege, you think Xiao Yan-gege is alright?" Xiao Wu asked in worry as she nibble at a carrot she held on her hand. She and Tang San walked down the halls of Nouding Academy after their morning classes.

Xiao Wu's little delicate face had black bags under her eyes. Her face cheeks were swollen and eyes a little puffy and red.

She was worried sick about her sworn brother.

'Its been three months already Xiao Yan, where the hell are you?!!' Xiao Wu thought in frustration and pain for not finding a certain older brother figure.

A boy with black hair and eyes, an average face and lean body shook his head with a smile but soon after had a small frown. He, the same as Xiao Wu, had bags and sunken expression of worry.

"Honestly Xiao Wu? I don't know. You and I both know that Xiao Yan can handle almost every hurdle tossed to him by the world around him. With the skills I taught him, and the knowledge of spirit beasts and herbs taught to him by grandmaster and his grandfather, I have full confidence of him surviving a forest all on his own. But hunting a spirit beast? Especially one governed by a legendary confirmed hundred thousand year old spirit beast? I... don't know." Tang San admitted with difficulty.

As confident as he was about his sworn brother's self preservation skills, and his dirty tricks, even he would think twice to go to a spirit beast infested forest that not even the Spirit Hall would take control of.

The Spirit Hall that had numerous hidden experts and would be the first to take any resources that they could, could and would not go near the Fiery Bright Forest.

50 years ago, after a decade of the news of a hundred thousand year old spirit beast living in the Fiery Bright Forest was confirmed, the Spirit Hall had immediately send out 3 Titled Douluos, 5 Spirit Douluos and 10 Spirit Sages to hunt the beast governing the forest.

The party of experts didn't even get a hundred feet near the forest when a huge black dragon appeared and decimated the entire party within several breaths.

It was dangerous and was stupid of Tang San and Xiao Wu to let Xiao Yan go into the forbidden forest when they learned of such a thing. Especially Xiao Wu, she was more vocal and physical of her disapproval of him going.

They had only let him go because he swore that if they didn't, he would just sneak off Xiao Yan style.

And being sworn siblings with Xiao Yan, they knew he meant using the secret booby traps and every dirty tricks in his hands.

They had finally budged at the time because they threatened Xiao Yan as well that if he didn't return alive, they will find a way to go to hell to dragged his sorry a.s.s back, and he knew what the two mean. That they would do everything in their power to dragged him back to them. Even as to go to hell for it.

They knew that if he ever died he would go to hell for all the worry and grief he had given them. As well as all the crazy crap he did.

They put too much confidence and faith on him, and it costed them a brother.

The only reason they couldn't go to the forest themselves to find him was because grandmaster had forbidden them before they could do so. Would they listen? Nope. Will the grandmaster stop them? Yes definitely. He might have lost one disciple, he wasn't going to lose two more.

Heck, he assigned two spirit ancestor mercenaries to keep them in the school, while he himself and a couple other mercenaries that he hired went to the forest once every week after a week of Xiao Yan's disappearance.

'Teacher is as worried as us, or even more so, I hope they find him' Xiao Wu sighed deeply before grabbing her head in frustration and yell out.

"DAMN IT XIAO YAN-GEGE! IF YOU DON'T COME BACK, I'LL F.U.C.K.I.N.G SKIN YOU ALIVE!!" Xiao Wu stomped her right foot down on the ground, which caused web-like cracks, before storming off to the dining hall.

Tang San sweatdropped before shaking his head in amus.e.m.e.nt and followed in suit.

"Hais, I hope your alive Xiao Yan. Cause I'm not dealing with the berserker bunny."

They both arrived in the dining hall first floor and ordered their meals and sat down on their table with the rest of their classmates.

They asked if they need anything before shaking their heads for a no. Xiao Wu and Tang San was about to eat their meals before a large noise interrupted them.

They turned towards the door of the dining hall to see it broken to pieces by a person's leg.

Xiao Wu and Tang San's eyes widened and mouths agape as they see the person they were talking about.

The person they had cried and worried for over three whole months.

"I'M BACK BITCHEEES!" The douchebag, Xiao Yan, wearing some weird black military uniform, shouted out with a huge bright smile on his face.

By his side was a beautiful girl wearing simple blue and white girl clothes yet instead of lowering her beauty, it instead intensified it. Which had resulted into mesmerizing all the boys, except Tang San, and some girls because of how cute and pretty she looked.

But Tang San and Xiao Wu wasn't focused on her as they set their eyes on the asshole who had a bright smile on his face and had both of his hand on his h.i.p.s.

Before he could say anything else however, a brown haired missile had crushed onto him, causing him to stumble back to the ground worrying the girl by his who was about to use her spirit essence before Xiao Yan waved at her that he was alright.

He looked down and ignored the pain of his bones breaking as he feel the pain of his heart breaking more than his bones as he gazed down to see a sleeping tear stricken face of Xiao Wu holding him tightly. As of she were to let go, he would disappear.

"You're alive... You're alive... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." For three whole months she was worried about her sworn older brother and had blamed herself for not stopping him. Months of nightmares of seeing him dead because of her had stressed her so much that she almost doesn't sleep at all.

And all that stress had finally caught up to her and had instantly slept the moment she hugged the person she cared for like a older brother.

Xiao Yan hugged her back and didn't say anything else.

Suddenly, unknown force hit his shoulder, almost breaking the bone, and Xiao Yan turned to looked on who hit him with gritted teeth. He held back the pained scream that he felt from his almost broken shoulder, not wanting to wake Xiao Wu, he turned to see on which asshole had done that and promised to bring the pain on them.

He turned and had choked the words he was about to say and immediately retract the thoughts he would say.

He saw a crying Tang San sitting cross-legged by his side with his shaking fist still on his shoulder.

"Welcome home, brother..." Tang San said.

Xiao Yan returned Tang San's smile with a calm and relieved one. A single tear slid down one of his eyes and he replied in a whisper.

"Yeah, I'm back, brother..."

Xun Er stood awkwardly by the side and thought. She had, for the first time, felt being a fourthwheel.

"Umm, so should I even say anything at this moment?"
