Chapter 70: What the F*ck! Can You Say That So Loudly?
Outside the cave, it was slightly late in the day.
Half of the sky carried a half-remnant sun, radiating a pale orange hue, while the other half gathered thick, smoky purple clouds, giving off the feeling of an impending mountain storm.
Within the massive Demonic Beast Mountain Range, flying sword lights and dispersing spiritual energy could be faintly seen.
Suddenly, a high-pitched bird cry pierced the air. A flashing figure pierced through the clouds like a ray of rosy twilight, the massive commotion drawing everyone’s attention.
At the same time, all the demonic beasts in the dense forests and high mountains below grew restless.
Qiu Changzhou and the others watched the giant bird soaring and diving through the clouds in mid-air, hurriedly standing up from their high seats in panic.
“This is… the strength of this bird, I’m afraid it far exceeds the Jindan stage! This is against the rules!”
“It is not good. If this bird descends and wreaks havoc, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Qiu Changzhou had already decided to tear off all pretense and oppose Qingyun Zong. His mouth hadn’t been idle during this time, and sarcastic remarks came easily: “Hmph, today has truly opened Qiu’s eyes!”
Saying so, his gaze swept toward Elder Qi, whose face was incredibly ugly: “Qingyun Zong’s so-called sparring, I’m afraid, is just a front, isn’t it?”
The veins on Elder Qi’s forehead bulged. Narrowing his sharp triangular eyes, he stared at the figures on the screen. After a long while, he revealed a sinister smile: “Sect Leader Qiu, are you not trying to sow discord?”
“Look closely, everyone. There are two Chongshan Zong disciples on the back of that giant bird.”
Elder Qi stroked his sparse white beard, his expression unchanging: “I truly couldn’t tell. Chongshan Zong puts on the air of a prestigious orthodox sect normally, yet behind the scenes, you actually instigate your disciples to rear demonic beasts! Such intentions are punishable by death!”
Qiu Changzhou’s eyes widened in fury. He slammed the table and stood up, the armrest of the chair under his palm instantly turning to powder: “What the f*ck are you saying! Stop your f*cking slander!”
“Sect Leader Qiu! Watch your language!” Elder Qi bit his cheeks and glared.
Qiu Changzhou was just short of lifting a foot to flip over and beat him up: “What’s wrong with my f*cking language! If you have the guts, f*cking hit me!”
“You!” Elder Qi also slammed his stool and stood up.
Seeing this, Zi Ping hurriedly covered Qiu Changzhou’s mouth tightly, her eyes narrowing into a smile: “Elder Qi, please excuse the offense. Sect Leader Qiu is a bit drunk on tea today and misspoke.”
Elder Qi: “…”
The other elders: “…”
Qiu Changzhou: “Mmph mmph… You f*ck…”
At this time, riding on the back of the giant bird, soaring into the sky and plunging to the earth in carefree joy, Feng Shi and Shen Songhe were entirely unaware that a major battle was brewing outside because of them.
“Brother Bird! We want that red flag! Tell your brothers to look carefully!” Facing the wind, Feng Shi shouted loudly to the giant bird beneath him.
“I’m handling it! Don’t worry!”
Feng Shi laughed heartily, then leaned back slightly into the embrace of the person behind him, opening his arms against the evening wind.
“Shixiong, quick! Put your hands on my waist!”
Feng Shi laughed loudly. He turned his head, a few strands of his raven-black long hair clinging to his snow-white cheeks, not caring even as the wind blew them into his mouth.
Behind him, Shen Songhe discarded the awkwardness in his heart—why is Shidi being so good to ‘someone else’—and obediently placed his hands on Feng Shi’s slender waist, hugging him tightly.
“Not like this, like this.” Feng Shi lowered his head to help adjust.
After finishing, Feng Shi spread his arms wide, facing the clear yellow sunset and large swaths of tumbling flowing clouds: “Wow, this feels so amazing! It’s like being on the sea!”
He indulged in his high. Although Shen Songhe couldn’t understand what he was saying, he still cooperated, slowly resting his chin on his shoulder.
The two’s long hair danced and entangled in the wind, ultimately becoming indistinguishable from one another.
At this instant, Shen Songhe was also infected by Feng Shi’s emotions, revealing a faint smile that was hard to suppress.
And this smile just happened to be caught by Feng Shi, making his heart flutter momentarily.
He thought to himself, even if Shizun turned into such an ordinary appearance, he still liked him so much.
It was just a pity that with their current identities, he couldn’t take advantage of him a bit.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the giant bird carried the two of them down onto a high mountain.
This high mountain was located deep within the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, so no other disciples had arrived here yet. In the silent and dark deep forest, only the occasional sounds of beasts could be heard.
“Brother Bird, the thing is here?”
“Yes, give me the clothes.” As he spoke, he blinked and transformed into a human shape, still wearing that fiery red thick padded jacket, and reached out to Feng Shi.
Feng Shi laughed: “Be a good brother, please explain a bit more clearly~”
The giant bird’s sword-like eyebrows slightly knit together. His gaze swept back and forth over a dark, massive tree not far away, looking reluctant: “It’s right there, go get it yourselves! I… I don’t want to see that guy!”
“Ah? Who?”
Just as Feng Shi finished asking, he felt a chill down his spine.
“Careful, Shidi.” Shen Songhe’s slightly cool hand grabbed Feng Shi’s, pulling him into his embrace and drawing his sword, aiming at a certain spot in the darkness.
In the darkness, a faint noise rang out.
This sound was extremely similar to someone scratching their hair, making one’s hair stand on end.
Following that, a muffled, magnetic male voice abruptly sounded from the darkness. The words were directed at the giant bird.
“You’re here. Won’t you come sit with me? Afraid of me?”
Out of the corner of his eye, Feng Shi saw the giant bird beside him tremble, quietly taking a step back. It was clearly afraid, yet stubbornly insisted: “Bullsh*t! I’m not afraid of you!”
A barely audible light chuckle came from the darkness. Very quickly, a massive shadow was cast down from above the three of them.
Feng Shi looked up, first seeing a white belly covered in overlapping scales twisting closer, and then he saw a thick, sturdy cyan tail sweeping over.
Finally, he met a pair of vertically slitted snake eyes full of scrutiny.
The giant snake flicked its tongue, gracefully lowering its head to look at the three people below.
Feng Shi took a deep breath, clutching Shen Songhe’s arm tightly and pinching his own philtrum.
“I just brought my little brother to handle something, we’re leaving right now!”
Beneath the giant snake, even the giant bird’s aura weakened significantly, its voice somewhat subdued.
“No rush.” The giant snake spoke lazily, the tail coiled beneath it sweeping toward the darkness behind, doing who knows what.
After some commotion, the tail appeared again. Unlike before, this time the tail came out curled around an object.
“A gift for you, is it pretty?”
The giant snake extended its tail in front of the giant bird, its tone carrying a hint of fawning.
Feng Shi rubbed his eyes and looked closely. The thing circled in that tail was none other than the red flag he was looking for!
The giant bird also guessed that this was what Feng Shi wanted, took the flag, and threw it to Feng Shi.
Feng Shi caught it in a flurry.
Seeing this, the giant snake became annoyed. Its tail wrapped around the giant bird in front of it, its voice deepening and carrying a hint of grievance, demanding: “Why did you turn around and give my gift away to someone else!?”
After speaking, it fiercely turned its head, opening a bloody maw toward Feng Shi, roaring: “Since that’s the case, I’ll eat him right now!”
Taking a stray bullet, Feng Shi yelled: “Cao!” [Translator’s Note: “Cao” sounds identical to grass/f*ck in Chinese.]
Giant snake: “What grass? I don’t eat grass!”
Feng Shi: “…You two… truly are husband and wife, aren’t you?”
Just as he finished speaking, the giant snake paused.
After a long while, the giant snake actually slowly closed its mouth, its tone quite good as it spoke again: “Not bad. On account of those words, scram.”
Feng Shi: ^v^??
He looked at the giant bird with its face full of humiliation, then looked at the arrogant giant snake with its head held high. He hurriedly and nimbly tossed down the Huluwa outfit, grabbed the flag, and quickly rode his sword up into the air with Shen Songhe.
Behind them, the giant snake rubbed its head against the giant bird, its tone forceful: “Stay tonight.”
The giant bird angrily complained: “I don’t want to! Last time you poked me, it hurt like hell!”
The giant snake rustled again, wrapping the person into the darkness: “Be obedient.”
Listening to the conversation between these two, Feng Shi was already shocked crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With a huge stumble, he nearly fell off the sword and died.
What the f*ck! Can you say that so loudly!!
