Chapter 157 - The Scum Is Clever

Cheng-shidi… it's as you had thought. Sun Yi thought as he suppressed his smile.

It is inevitable for their resources to be slowly consumed. Look, it's just the second day but they had consumed half of their magic pills and talismans. What will happen to the remaining five days? They can only wait to be slaughtered. Thus, the contestants would definitely store more magic pills, talismans and potions.

However, there would always be unexpected things happening, like accidentally consuming more magic pills than you had planned beforehand.As what is happening now.

Fortunately, there is a pill refiner and potion brewer in the third stage – Cheng Sheng, as well as talisman makers – Cheng Sheng and Jing Kang. What would happen if it's only Jing Kang and no Cheng Sheng? Where will they find magic pills and potions? Thus, they were very grateful Cheng Sheng was in the third stage with them. They can buy magic pills and potions from him.

Sun Yi could imagine Cheng Sheng grinning widely right now as he made business with the Zunjingde Sect. If everything would go according to their schedule, Chen Han's group would meet the Huakai Sect tomorrow to sell magic pills and potions to them under the guise of coincidence.

He can't help but smile. Cheng-shidi sure is clever. He knows he's the only pill refiner and potion brewer in the third stage. Xiao Le, Guo Cheng and Jing Kang are talisman makers. Xi Ning who is a potion brewer didn't make it to the third stage. And Fu An is only a low-level spell caster, but anyone can cast a spell if they have knowledge of it. Thus, everyone would rush towards Cheng Sheng to buy from him.

Cheng-shidi. In exchange helping you make money, you tell me of your and Fei-shidi's 'stories1'. He thought and chuckled.

Outside the secret realm, the sect leaders couldn't help but throw a meaningful gaze at Xie Lan. Jing Xian's face is dark while Qi Ling's face is blank. Pai Lie looked disappointed since Cheng Sheng hasn't used his arrays again. Meanwhile, Zheng Fu Gong was speechless.

Jing Rui's face had always been emotionlesss while Fei Huang's face cracked after seeing their disciples were being duped by Sun Yi! Wu Yuan may look cold, but his eyes are shining as he watched his beloved husband1 . 

Sect leader Wu, you still had the gall to be amused by your husband's acts?! They can't help but think and helplessly watch Cheng Sheng and Sun Yi sold the magic pills, potions and talismans to the Zunjingde Sect and Shanliangde Sect disciples, respectively.

Tang Teng, the Huakai Sect leader, placed a palm on his forehead. He can already see that his own disciples will be sold magic pills tomorrow. But, Tang Zhe, Tang Yun and the others would still need magic pills.

But, still! He thought in indignation. How can the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect still profit from them in this situation?! He thought as he looked at Xie Lan who has a blank expression.

"Geez… Xiao Sheng sure knows how to make money." Xie Lan said. "I hope he can donate some to his beloved sect, too…" he muttered.

"…" the sect leaders felt wronged. The money your disciple earning is from our sect's pockets! They thought. How can you say your thoughts out loud in front of us?! They thought, feeling exasperated. This cunning pair of sect leader and disciple! They added in their heart. 

"…" Lei Ling, Lei Qing, You Rou and Zuo Zhe felt speechless as they watched from the Cleansing Stone of what is happening inside the secret realm.

"Cheng-shixiong…" Lei Ling and You Rou blushed in shame.

"Cheng-shidi…" Lei Qing face palmed.

Meanwhile, Zuo Zhe. "…" he stared at Yu Sheng's image. He can already foresee, tomorrow, the Huakai Sect will lose a great sum of money.

The next day – third day of the third stage.

"Rise and shine!" Cheng Sheng said as he stretched out his limbs. "Oops – " he muttered when he hit Fei Yin's back. "Da shixiong, good morning." He said as he turned and saw Fei Yin had finished cooking their breakfast.

"Good morning… Cheng-shidi." Fei Yin was forced to address Cheng Sheng as his shidi since they're in front of the Zunjingde Sect, and the people outside the secret realm can see them. However, he had no scruples as he helped Cheng Sheng wore his outer robe and shoes, then gently wiped his face and combed his hair after.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who were already fed dog food before they could eat breakfast, and they're already full. Not only that. They were greatly blinded by this PDA.

"Da shixiong." Cheng Sheng called as Fei Yin carefully fixed his jade hairpin. Even if they have already confessed to each other about their identity, but nothing still changed between their usual routine. "You cooked more than usual. Can I give the extra food to the Zunjingde Sect?" he asked. "As thanks to them from last night." He explained.

The Zunjingde Sect's face lit up before they froze when they saw Fei Yin's eyes sharpened and he glared at them. Is he that unwilling to share us their food?! They thought. He looked like he wanted to turn us to food and feed it to Cheng Sheng! They added.

Fei Yin's lips were pressed into a thin line as he helplessly looked at Cheng Sheng who was waiting for his answer. Seeing his1 eyes looked expectant, he can only concede in defeat. "Okay." He hoarsely answered. "In exchange – " he said as he lowered his head.

"Hm - ?" Cheng Sheng muttered when he felt something soft and warm was pressed on his cheek.

"My shidi is very benevolent." Fei Yin said as he withdrew his lips from Cheng Sheng's cheek. He was amused when he saw Cheng Sheng was frozen like a statue because he didn't expect him to kiss him. Albeit on the cheek. "You can help yourselves." He told the Zunjingde Sect.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who felt they were almost bursting because of the dog food. "… many thanks." They forced the words out of their lips as they absent-mindedly sat to eat.

"…" Cheng Sheng who was helped by Fei Yin to sit beside him. He… kissed me. He thought. Meanwhile, Fei Yin was secretly looking at him with a doting gaze.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who stiffly held their bowl. Can we still eat like this? All that we will taste is dog food! They thought.

Outside the secret realm, the women – especially You Rou and Lei Qing, can't help but blush. Lei Ling, too. "Da shixiong… go for it!" they cheered when they saw Cheng Sheng's cheeks are suspiciously red. It's the first time they saw Cheng Sheng showed a sincere shy expression since Cheng Sheng is a great actor.

"…" Zuo Zhe felt his eyes hurt. Cheng Sheng should be with Yu Sheng! And Fei Yin should be straight! He screamed in his mind. I'm already sorry, okay? Sorry for making a crossover of my novels! He thought as he covered his eyes to cry crocodile tears. He actually wanted to pluck them out and wash them with holy water. Even if he didn't write smut between Cheng Sheng and Yu Sheng before and they only held hands1 , but still! My CP2!!! Orz He thought.

System: now you regret like a dog.

Xie Lan whistled while Fei Huang proudly smiled.

"…" the sect leaders who were also fed dog food even though they're outside the secret realm.

"Ah – " Tang Teng suddenly muttered. Then, he covered his face with his both hands.

"Sect leader Tang…? Ah." the sect leaders muttered when they saw what's happening inside the secret realm. Good lord…! They exclaimed as their eyes widened in shock and almost popped out of their socket.

Inside the secret realm.

"Xiao Le. Is your leg okay now?" Li Tian asked as they went out of the cave.

"Yes, Li-shixiong! Many thanks for the help!" Xiao Le answered and bowed before he ran out of the cave to show them his leg already healed.

"Be careful. We still have more medicines…" Li Tian told him.

"Ah!" Xiao Le suddenly exclaimed when he bumped into some… one. "Ow…" he cried when he hit his nose. "Huh?" he said when he raised his gaze and saw it was someone familiar.

Chen Han, Li Tian and Feng Mo were also surprised while Yu Sheng meaningfully smiled.

"Fancy meeting you here – " it was Yu Sheng who spoke first since Chen Han, Li Tian and Feng Mo were still shocked of what they saw. " – the gentlemen of Huakai Sect." he said and gracefully smiled at the Huakai Sect who looked like a great storm passed by them.

Indeed, it is. They were all disheveled from their head to feet. It was because Tang Yun was carried away by his emotions while Kang Ce was infuriated that they didn't hold back last night and threw at each other their greatest moves. Thus, the Huakai Sect were passed by a great storm, really.

Compared to the clean and handsome appearance of the Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect, not to mention Yu Sheng who is the most attractive, the difference between the two groups is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Tang Zhe cleared his throat before he spoke. "I heard... what you just said." he said as he looker at Li Tian who spoke about medicine earlier. "Do you have magic pills and potions?" he asked. They already have talismans from Guo Cheng. "We would like to buy them." he told the other group.

Chen Han, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Xiao Le were still shocked from this coincidence while Yu Sheng just smiled brightly. They don't need to look for the Huakai Sect and threw a sales pitch at them! The group came to their doorstep! They were neighbors with them since last night!

"Sure!" Yu Sheng answered as he hidden his grin.
