Mu Chen’s eyes were like abysses, calm and profound, not the least bit surprised.
He had long since noticed Qiu Sheng, but he didn’t expect Qiu Sheng to mistake him for a demon, and attack on sight.
Perfect, his heart was brimming with pent-up frustration, and now he had somewhere to vent it…
Qiu Sheng’s face was flushed with excitement, he gripped his wooden staff, leaping high into the air. With a force that would cleave Mount Hua in two, he brought the staff down towards Mu Chen’s neck.
So demons aren’t as terrifying as Master described~
I can take down this guy with one swing of my club…
Just imagining himself tying up the demon and presenting him to Master, earning a hearty commendation, the corners of his lips turned upward, a smile more difficult to suppress than an AK-47.
“Immobilize.”
Suddenly, a voice, devoid of emotion, seeped into his ears.
The smile on Qiu Sheng’s face froze, fear, once faint, now blossomed and spread, consuming his entire being.
He felt as though an invisible hand had gripped him, squeezing his entire being in mid-air.
Pressure, like that of mountains and seas, suffocated him, the shadow of death enveloped him!
Mu Chen turned expressionlessly, his gaze fixed on Qiu Sheng, who hung in mid-air, his face flushed red with terror.
Seeing Mu Chen’s face, Qiu Sheng’s expression was one of disbelief.
This… This terrifying, unimaginable demon, how is he younger than me?!
“What rank are you, dare you attack this Daoist with a sneak attack?”
Mu Chen’s face remained impassive, a slap shot out, spinning Qiu Sheng 1800 degrees in place, his cheek swelling visibly.
After landing, Qiu Sheng felt dizzy and nauseous.
The intense shame made him bristly all over.
“Young Master… Young Master, I’ll fight you!”
“You dare address this Daoist as… ‘Young Master’?”
Facing Qiu Sheng’s bull-like charge, Mu Chen’s face remained impassive, another slap flew out.
This time, before Qiu Sheng could land, Mu Chen’s slaps came one after another, Qiu Sheng spun in place, unable to stop.
“I… I will kill you!”
“I… You… You hit me again, I’ll kill you!”
“Mud… Mud-head, quickly stop it!”
“I… I was wrong, please, please spare me…”
Beaten like a top, Qiu Sheng, from arrogant and domineering to begging for mercy, ten slaps shattered his heroic spirit.
Mu Chen, aided by Qiu Sheng’s overzealous help, had vented his frustration.
He stopped, Qiu Sheng stumbled to the ground like a drunkard, despite Mu Chen’s sparing hand, he was still beaten into a pig’s head.
At this moment, the pig’s head stared blankly at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen raised an eyebrow, thinking he was planning revenge, but the next second, Qiu Sheng burst into tears.
He cried like a drum beating, those who heard it would shed tears, those who listened would be heartbroken.
Mu Chen：……
“Stop crying, take me to meet Daoist Yimei.”
“Wuwuwu, I’ve been a fool, and I’ll report you, I’ll tell them you’re a demon!”
Seeing that Qiu Sheng still thought he was a demon, Mu Chen shook his head, taking out a jade pendant.
“Farm… er… Three?!”
“Tsk… tsk, you’re wrong, I, I am your Third Brother, Jiu!”
“I… I’ll take you to find Master, you, you don’t beat me anymore!”
Qiu Sheng’s eyes welled up with tears, he wanted to kowtow to Mu Chen, if he wasn’t a demon, he wouldn’t die!
With Qiu Sheng leading the way, Mu Chen arrived at the Yi Zhuang in the suburbs.
“Master, I brought you a gift!”
Qiu Sheng knocked on the door, and as he knocked, he burst into tears again.
“Crying again, are you going to cry non-stop?”
“Wuwuwu, I suddenly thought, you’re not a demon, I’m not a demon, why did I get beaten up like this?”
Mu Chen smiled slightly, can this Daoist tell the truth, that he was venting his anger on you, just for fun?
“Who told you to sneak attack, this Daoist thought you were a demon.”
“Waa… wuwuwu!”
Qiu Sheng cried even louder.
At this moment, the door opened.
Jiu Shu hadn’t even changed his clothes, he was in his pajamas, most of the time, someone would come looking for him at this late hour because of an urgent matter involving demons.
Indeed, seeing Qiu Sheng’s appearance, he immediately furrowed his brows: “Come in quickly, this is no small matter, he must have bumped into a wild boar demon!”
Mu Chen：……
Qiu Sheng: ???
“Ahem, you’re all wrong, this is… this is your… your disciple.”
Mu Chen’s words made Jiu Shu’s eyes widen, he finally recognized Qiu Sheng from his clothes.
“No… how can you be so restless even when you’re home, tell me, how did you provoke the wild boar demon?”
Qiu Sheng silently looked at Mu Chen, Mu Chen’s eyes twitched.
He was so busy venting his frustration, he forgot that he had beaten the other person’s disciple into a pig’s head upon their first meeting, how embarrassing.
“It’s like this…”
Mu Chen explained the situation to Jiu Shu.
After listening, Jiu Shu’s face turned black.
Qiu Sheng, however, was happy, he could tell that Jiu Shu was genuinely angry.
Master will definitely seek justice for me!
It really is, the child of a master is like a treasure~ hehehe~
Bang~~!
Qiu Sheng, who was still feeling sweet inside, suddenly covered his head in pain.
The one who struck him was Jiu Shu.
“Didn’t I tell you, don’t go there at night?”
“You’re so impulsive, you attack people without knowing the situation?!”
He was truly furious.
He had warned them time and again, but Qiu Sheng still went out at night, and even dared to fight alone!
His half-assed skills were only good enough to encounter righteous cultivators, who would merely give him a lesson, if he had really encountered a demon, one of his few disciples would have been gone tonight!
Qiu Sheng didn’t understand Jiu Shu’s intentions, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
Wuwuwu… fairy tales are all lies, the children of masters aren’t like treasures, they’re like grass, damn it, grass!
