The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 361 - The Scum Is Reliant

"What do you mean…?" Zuo Zhe asked again. He felt like his brain is filled with cobwebs. He can't understand what Yu Sheng is saying, like a chicken talking to a duck. Is this because of the time gap? That I was from the future and Yu Sheng is from the ancient era? 

Zuo Zhe felt like his head is splitting. 

"What I mean is that, Zhe – " Yu Sheng called as he pulled Zuo Zhe into his embrace. " – you saved all of us. Our world, and this world." He said before he planted a kiss on Zuo Zhe's forehead – sweet and devout. 

Zuo Zhe was immediately distracted from Yu Sheng's kiss. He suddenly remembered that Yu Sheng is naked and their bodies are touching each other. Although Zuo Zhe could feel Yu Sheng's manhood pressed against his, Yu Sheng, although hard, but not that much. Zuo Zhe felt his heart became warm. Yu Sheng, this rogue, is actually not just all yellow! 

Yu Sheng, this time, his kiss is utmost sincere. Zuo Zhe closed his eyes and leaned his head on Yu Sheng's strong shoulder. "I did?" he asked. 

"En." Yu Sheng nodded and placed a hand on the back of Zuo Zhe's head. His fingers endearingly combed Zuo Zhe's hair, making Zuo Zhe feel relaxed. "Zhe." He called. "I've wronged you before. I'm really sorry." He apologized and hugged Zuo Zhe tight. 

"Mn." Zuo Zhe muttered. His whole body leaning against Yu Sheng, and thus his not-so-heavy weight also fell on Yu Sheng. Right now, his body is exuding full reliance on Yu Sheng. "It doesn't matter now." He spoke, his voice quiet. 

One is fully naked, the other one is fully clothed. But, their atmosphere right now, though looked sensual, but isn't filled with sexual tension. On the contrary, it looked harmonious. 

"Mn." Yu Sheng muttered. Before, he hated Zuo Zhe. Now, all he wanted to do is give the moon and the stars to Zuo Zhe. He wanted to be better and better to Zuo Zhe. "Do you want to take a bath?" he asked. 

"Yeah…" Zuo Zhe answered, suddenly feeling sleepy. 

"I'll bathe you." Yu Sheng said and carried Zuo Zhe in his arms. He didn't mean anything, but the literal sense. 

Zuo Zhe, who has known Yu Sheng for a long time, also knows this, thus, he agreed. "Okay." He obediently answered. 

Yu Sheng planted a chaste kiss on Zuo Zhe's lips before he took off Zuo Zhe's clothes. His lover's body before him has never lost its sexual appeal to him. But, he restrained himself today. Today is a rare peaceful day in his and Zuo Zhe's relationship. Their relationship seemed to develop further, in a good way. 

"Zhe." Yu Sheng called.  "Since our world wasn't destroyed… do you want to go with me there?" he asked as he gently placed Zuo Zhe in the warm water. 

"Mn… maybe…" Zuo Zhe answered. "Is it beautiful?" he asked. 

"Although there is no one around there now, but it is beautiful." Yu Sheng answered. 

"Then, let's talk about this after we solved the problems here in this world." Zuo Zhe decided. 

"Okay." Yu Sheng smiled.

"En." Zuo Zhe muttered. Suddenly, he remembered something. "Right. That 'divine power'… what energy is it?" he asked. 

"Something our world possess, that's why we can use magic." Yu Sheng answered. "It's like the qi here in this world. Since Cheng Sheng and I have it from our world, then we can cultivate faster than anyone here in this world." He explained. 

That's why he told Cheng Sheng before that this world loves him, since Cheng Sheng is like him. 

"World energy, huh…" Zuo Zhe muttered absent-mindedly. He felt like there's something he should remember, but also there isn't. What is it…? He thought before his eyes closed and he fell asleep because of how comfortable his bath is. 

Yu Sheng watched as Zuo Zhe fell asleep. These days have been very tiring for all of them, most especially to Zuo Zhe. Even though Zuo Zhe never says it, but that's because he doesn't want to bother anyone and make them feel guilty. Zuo Zhe has expended all of his power to seal the Ni Lai Gates. If it were the righteous cultivators, Yu Sheng doesn't know how long will it take for them to seal all of the Ni Lai Gates. Just look at how much they are spent after sealing one Ni Lai Gate. 

Thus, Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe took up the task secretly. Yu Sheng knows Zuo Zhe is very special, so he didn't stop him from sealing the Ni Lai Gates. He also sealed some, unlike what the others think that it's just Zuo Zhe who sealed all the Ni Lai Gates in West, North, East and South. It's not that Zuo Zhe wanted to take all the credit. On the contrary, Zuo Zhe is very low-key. It is Yu Sheng who told the others that it was Zuo Zhe alone, giving all the credit to Zuo Zhe. It's because Yu Sheng, like Zuo Zhe, also want to be low-key. 

But, unlike Zuo Zhe who just is disinterested in fame and is avoiding limelight, Yu Sheng, on the other hand, wants to be low-key since he wants to hide his power. The others already know he is in the Ascension Stage. Then, if they'll find out he also sealed some Ni Lai Gates, which needs much, much power to do the task, wouldn't they faint to think he is a god? 

Yu Sheng fished Zuo Zhe from the water and wiped his body before he dressed him and placed him down the bed in a comfortable position. "Zhe." He called to the sleeping Zuo Zhe. "Wait for me to come back." He said before he kissed Zuo Zhe. Then, he picked up his clothes and wore them before he went outside. 

"Yu Sheng." Xie Lan called. Fan Wen is standing beside him. 

Yu Sheng turned. He also saw Jing Rui and Xi Ling. "Good. Everyone is now awake." He said and walked towards the deck of the ship. It was already dark, but everyone is wide awake. 

"Yu-ge…" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples called when they froze after they saw Xie Lan and Fan Wen following behind Yu Sheng. Their eyes widened in shock, before their tears fell. "FOUNDER! SHIFU!!!" they shouted before they ran towards Xie Lan and Fan Wen and hugged them tight. 

"Ling…" Fei Lin called when he saw Xi Ling. 

Xi Ling shyly smiled before he exclaimed when Fei Lin flashed before him and hugged him tight. 

"Uncle…" the Zunjingde Sect disciples cried as they looked at Jing Rui's cold face. 

Jing Cheng was the first one to react and he ran to Jing Rui. Fortunately, he held himself back not to kiss Jing Rui in front of everyone. Or else, Jing Rui would beat him up! Jing Bai and Jing Hei followed and also hugged Jing Rui. Jing Kang is cold, but the three brothers pulled him to their group hug. 

Although they all hid it, but their emotions revealed their reliance to their respective leaders. Zheng Yi smiled along with Qian Lin who is standing beside his elder brother Qian Tian. Finally, everybody is complete! 

"Just as we planned earlier – " Yu Sheng spoke. " – you all hold Wu Ran while I go to the Heilong Realm." He said. 

Everyone immediately came into attention and the atmosphere of reunion disappeared. 

Xie Lan, although just woke up with Fan Wen, understood what Yu Sheng meant. "I understand." He said and looked at Fan Wen, before he turned to Jing Rui, Fei Lin, Xi Ling and Qian Tian. 

Everyone is in agreement. Although they feel ashamed to leave the matter of Heilong Realm to Yu Sheng who doesn't even belong to any sect, but with his actions will save their asses, but there's nothing they can do. Each one of them is needed to defeat Wu Ran and his forces. They can't lose anyone, since every opportunity missed in the battlefield can tip the scales. 

Just one and small mistake will be their loss. So, the matter with Heilong Realm, they could only leave to Yu Sheng. Although Yu Sheng is alone, but his strength – which is above everyone present, makes them feel reassured. 

"Huh?" Lei Ling muttered. "Yu-ge, where's young master Zuo?" he asked. 

With this question, they all finally noticed. They didn't see Zuo Zhe's figure, which is usually next to Yu Sheng, beside Yu Sheng right now. 

Yu Sheng smiled. "This is the favor I want to ask of you." He spoke. 

They all looked at him. 

"I've casted a spell on him to make him sleep for one month." Yu Sheng said. 

They all fell silent. One month, not too long nor too short for their battle against Wu Ran. Yu Sheng really has already calculated everything. 

"Please take care of Zuo Zhe for me." Yu Sheng told them. "It could be before that time, but definitely not after." He added. "I don't want for Zhe to wake up without me by his side."
