Meanwhile, the audience's brows twitched after they heard what Qian Meng said… that buying magic pills and potions, and also talismans in exchange for points. Qian Meng is right. This really has happened before, during the previous Intersect Competition, and the one who did this is none other than Cheng Sheng!
Thinking this, everyone looked at where Cheng Sheng is sitting. Cheng Sheng's brows also twitched in annoyance when he felt everyone's eyes are on him. He frowned, feeling disgruntled. It is not him who told the participants to follow his method of obtaining more points! He didn't tell their sect's disciples to do this! He definitely didn't! So, why are they looking at him as if he is the culprit?! Hello? The participants have their own minds to make decisions for themselves! So, why are they looking at him as if he is the mastermind?!
Cheng Sheng pinched the space between his brows while Fei Yin chuckled as he made him smell a fragrant scent for Cheng Sheng to relieve his headache.
"Am I this popular?" Cheng Sheng asked Fei Yin.
Fei Yin laughed. "You are." He answered. "Which, most of the time, makes me feel distressed since many people likes you… where would that leave me in your heart?" he asked and smiled as he looked at Cheng Sheng who was stupefied. "What should I do if you would like someone and not me? I don't know what would I do if that happens…" he said and sighed.
"That's not - !" gonna happen! Cheng Sheng said and frowned.
Fei Yin cut him off. "I know… I know, Sheng. I know that you are also looking for me as I look for you, and that really makes me very, very happy." He said and smiled as he held Cheng Sheng's hand. "I am really happy that I was the one who found you first, and you weren't found by anyone else." he said and intertwined their fingers.
Cheng Sheng's heart leapt and he also held Fei Yin's hand tight, as if afraid that he would lose him. Again. He thought. He has lost Fei Yin once, and he would never want, and let, it happen again. He won't lose Fei Yin. Never ever!
Fei Yin stared at Cheng Sheng and he can see through his thoughts. "Sheng." He called as he pulled the other into his embrace when he saw that Cheng Sheng's eyes turned red. "Hush. How did we end up in this topic?" he asked and helplessly smiled, trying to alleviate the heavy atmosphere that surrounded the two of them. "I will never leave you again." He whispered. "I promise." He said.
"En." Cheng Sheng nodded. "Although I was the one who let you leave… I truly regret it." He said and closed his eyes tight when he recalled that scene when Fei Yin's soul left 'Fei Yin's' (the original) body. What if he never returned? What would he do? He will forever wait, until he can't bear the loneliness anymore and then end himself.
He wouldn't care then if he would transmigrate to another world again… because his life has become meaningless without his Yin… his Yin… fortunately, he returned, like he promised. His lover always kept his promises, which made him truly very happy since his lover would remain by his side again.
This time, he will really not let go of him!
…
Fan Wen, Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing and Lei Ling who saw Fei Yin's and Cheng Sheng's display of affection. "…" damn it. Why are they doing this again?! They thought as their faces darkened.
You Rou giggled while Sun Yi chuckled. Meanwhile, Chen Han is gnashing his teeth in anger and it is as if everyone can see the flames surrounding his body as he looked at Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng cuddling.
The other elders. "…" damn it. They inwardly cursed and almost poked their eyes to blind themselves and forever not see this display of affection of the two! They even felt conscious just sitting there and they almost left their seats just to give these two some space for themselves! The hell!
…
While the elders are having an internal debate against themselves, whether to leave and find other seats or stay and continue watching Fei Yin's and Cheng Sheng's display of affection, the participants are conscientiously farming for points as much as they could now that they have ran out of money to use in buying magic pills, potions and talismans and now they have to pay using their points. Although the price is cheap, mosquito meat is still meat (meaning, a point still counts).
So, they are giving their all to farm points, especially that xiao Bao and xiao Ling have finished their quota of attacking them, the participants, today. Thus, their farming for points has become peaceful.
"Fortunately, Cui Xiang-shijie has sold the magic pills and potions cheaply!" Fei Huo said as the Shanliangde Sect stopped to rest when they passed by a canyon.
Neither Sun Yan nor Fei Luo spoke. Not even Xi Bing. Although they know that the Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect are extremely kind to even help their competitors with their food and lodging (yes. the Xinfaxian Sect, who are VERY rich in resources, gave them the tents they used last night), no one would be THIS kind to sell medium-grade magic pills and potions VERY cheaply, and even towards their competitors, right?!
"Hm? Brother, what's wrong?" Fei Huo asked when he noticed that his brother is silent, as well as Sun Yan. Even Xi Bing.
"It is nothing. I am just thinking of something…" Fei Luo answered and patted his younger brother's head. Now that their emotions are out in the open, he openly doted on his younger brother, which makes Fei Huo very happy.
Sun Yan also feels happy for Fei Luo since Fei Luo doesn't need to repress himself. His emotions. Of course, that includes his emotions towards him. Thinking this, he smirked. "Hey. How is Xi He now?" he asked Xi Bing. "Have you already told him about the new method of buying magic pills and potions?" he said.
"En." Xi Bing nodded as he looked at their surroundings. Then, he looked at Fei Huo.
"Huh?" Fei Huo muttered when he felt some sand fell on his shoulder. He immediately brushed it off.
But, just as he was finished, new ones replaced the old in occupying his shoulder. He frowned and brushed the dust again, only to suddenly feel something wrapped around his waist. Before he could react, he was pulled to the side.
Fei Luo was surprised when he saw that Xi Bing suddenly ran past him and pulled Fei Huo away. But, before he could speak, he felt Sun Yan, who is behind him, pulled him by the waist, too. As soon as he and Fei Huo were pulled away, something fell from above, just a hair's breadth away from the ends of their clothes.
Their eyes widened when they saw it. "Demons!" Fei Huo exclaimed and immediately unsheathed his sword to attack the demon that appeared.
But, before he could move, Xi Bing grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the demon. He was angry and he turned to ask Xi Bing what he is doing, only to suddenly freeze when he saw that above them, more demons leapt and landed on the ground, completely surrounding them!
"What the hell…" Fei Luo cursed and frowned. "This area wasn't recorded as a demons' nest!" he said as he took out the map.
"It is, now." Sun Yan said as he kicked the demon that leapt towards Fei Luo. "The demons can choose a new nest!" he said.
Xi Bing frowned in displeasure and he pulled Fei Huo towards him before he took out a talisman to burn the demon. But, his eyes narrowed when he saw that the demon, although its face was burnt, still continued to leap at them instead of retreating!
"Dodge!" he shouted at Fei Huo who was stupefied at this change. But, he subconsciously dodged as Xi Bing said.
A ripping sound was heard as the demon's claw caught Fei Huo's sleeve. Fortunately, Fei Huo dodged. Or else, it would be his arm that was ripped instead.
Fei Huo broke into a cold sweat. "These demons… they are stronger!" he exclaimed as he stabbed one demon that leapt at him. But, that demon didn't immediately die, so he used a talisman to kill it!
"I see now…" Sun Yan muttered as he and Fei Luo stood back to back while they defended themselves against the demons. "We have done killing the weaker ones, so the ones that were left are naturally the stronger ones." He explained.
"Tch." Xi Bing clicked his tongue. Obviously, he feels annoyed.
"There are too many of them, and they are definitely stronger than the ones we killed before." Fei Luo's brows knitted. "And more of them are coming." He added.. His expression looked grim as they watched the demons above the canyon glaring down at them on the ground.
