XIAO SHUXIANG'S

342 - Unexpected Place to Return [Revised]

The chaos in the Eastern Continent most often was actually a dispute between the White Flow swordsman and the Black Flow swordsman.

As a result of their actions, people who are just ordinary humans become victims.

Many things are behind the dispute and one of them is the difference in their ways of thinking and principles. But one thing is certain, the two schools were never willing to accept the principle of people who did not agree with them.

When asked, even Black School warriors want world peace. It was just that for them, that peace could be realized with the power to 'Control'.

Others argue that spreading 'Fear' is the best way to create 'Compliance'. It is with those who fear them that peace will be realized.

Their way of thinking was clearly different from those of the White and Neutral Flow warriors. And it was because of this that made the dispute begin.

From its originally different principles, it then took root into a fight, and eventually gave birth to a 'Depress'--Irheritance hereditary from generation to generation.

For the warriors of the White Stream, 'Peace' for them is the disappearance of the Black Stream warriors. Some others argue that 'Beloved' and 'Value to Respect' is what can give birth to world peace.

Those words were often heard by Xiao Shuxiang during his first life and he had once rebutted.

According to him, the White Stream only appreciates each other. They never really appreciated the swordsman of the Black Stream.

Cruelty and bloodlust were already attached to the Black Stream, there was no goodness in it. Yet are the White Stream warriors really clean and holy according to their names?

To Xiao Shuxiang, cultivators and warriors from the Black Stream were indeed notoriously cruel and evil, but they had never had more than one face. They never cared about the big name of their Stream, because knowing the name was long broken.

Unlike the White and Neutral Stream which seemed more concerned with the cleanliness of their names, including willing to scapegoat the warriors of the Black Stream.

Right, that was the kind of world Xiao Shuxiang had seen. When the two sects of the White Stream fought, then it must have sounded that it was the Black Stream that was behind it all.

When one city was slaughtered overnight for no apparent reason, the main culprit called was the swordsman of the Black Stream.

When a large sect famous for its extraordinary security is attacked from within, then surely the name Black Stream will be touted as the main perpetrator. And the worst thing is that when the truth is revealed, no one wants to clear the name of the Black Stream.

Then who is really the cruelest among the Three Streams? In the end this goes back to every swordsman. Although in fact, the swordsman who does not attach importance to the principles of the flow of his self comes from is a reflection of a True Swordsman.

"Sister Nu..! You always tell us this every day, but I've never met Big Senior. Where is he now?"

A 9-year-old Butterfly Sect disciple questioned Xiao Shuxiang's whereabouts. I don't know since when, but the young disciples in this sect gave the title of 'Great Senior' to the Alchemist Chef.

"He is now in the Middle Continent, your Great Senior is still a long time back here.."

Shao Nu, a beautiful girl dressed in light green with a water grass motif was seen sitting on a stone, in front of him were seen the disciples of Butterfly Sect who were aged from 5 to 14 years.

Currently, the sect had already had a thousand disciples and was growing. Shao Nu and Ro Wei were in charge of maintaining the tranquility of this sect for as long as Yang Shu left.

Shao Nu appeared to be 20 years old, although he was much older than that, he was Tianqi Mao's sworn brother.

Many of the Butterfly Sect disciples who wanted to meet Xiao Shuxiang in person, there were many questions they wanted to convey. It was a pity that they did not know when their Great Senior would definitely return home.

The Butterfly Sect was already the largest in Cold Cloud City, while the Silver Bamboo Sect that was originally side by side with this sect-now had returned home, that is to build a sect in the Empire of the Rising Sun-the place where they previously were.

For the Flower Dew City itself, the one who was still the mayor was Tianqi Mao. The Demonic Beast had made many developments in his beloved city.

In this large residence-Tianqi-Mao was seen sitting quietly while occasionally playing his fan.

The sound of melodious music accompanies the dance of beautiful girls who are providing entertainment for him and his guests.

The faces full of admiration were clearly imprinted on the faces of everyone who witnessed this nine-girl dance. They could say nothing but admiration.

"In addition to being famous for the beauty of its environment, Flower Dew City is also famous for the beauty of its clothes and beautiful girls. I can't even believe this town was torn apart by the war against Wyvern before,"

"You're right. This city can rise up and much better than before is an amazingly great achievement,"

Two of the six guests of Tianqi Mao were merchants from the Northern Continent. They came here to work with him.

Enjoying a snack accompanied by music and dance really pleases the guests of Tianqi Mao. Xiao Shuxiang's adoptive brother is an expert in serving his business partners.

Despite having a body like a 9-year-old girl, Tianqi Mao has never been underestimated. He was even so respected. He was the Demonic Beast that the citizens of Flower Dew City loved.

"A good dance. Maybe I should hold a ritual tonight," Tianqi Mao fanned his face slowly, the Bathhouse Generally has long since been completed and quite a number of customers have come there. It was just that due to his busyness taking care of various things, Tianqi Mao rarely performed the ritual of 'Seeing the Bathing Girls'.

Actually, compared to sneaking a peek... Tianqi Mao went straight into the bathhouse and sat down casually on the available bench.

He could enter at will in both the male and female baths and no one had ever protested against it. This was because Tianqi Mao always changed into a cat when doing rituals.

Thinking about it made Tianqi Mao slightly not hear the sound of music. He only realized when a mirror suddenly appeared on the roof, right above the nine beautiful girls dancing.

?!

Tianqi Mao frowned, the mirror was similar to the Moving Mirror, but he did not do any sort of seal. He immediately gasped as something began to fall from the mirror.

Ahhh..!

!!

The nine dancing girls shouted while running to save themselves, they were shocked because suddenly something fell from above them. Even the music players also stopped, they jumped in shock.

Bruk!

Something fell back and this time it was followed by a girl's moaning voice. Tianqi Mao's forehead shriveled, he saw that the fallen ones were two girls that he was quite familiar with.

"Admudiate..! Brother Lu, you are so be-!" Yi Wen again kissed the floor as Ling Qing Zhu stepped on the back of Xiao Lu who was pinning down on him. The white-haired girl had almost been overwritten by the Crazy Beggar Boy if she did not immediately clank her body backwards.

Tap

Brucks,

"Oh..!" Yi Wen again groaned, himself being overwritten by Xiao Lu and now was the Mad Beggar Boy. His moans came back loud as Lan Guan Zhi and Xiao Shuxiang fell from within the Moving Mirror.

!!

Everyone was shocked by what they had just witnessed. The previously existing Moving Mirror had now turned into a grain of water and then disappeared.

Xiao Shuxiang's position was now above Lan Guan Zhi and was being hugged by his friend. While Lan Guan Zhi's back came into contact with the Crazy Beggar Boy's back which also befell Xiao Lu.

Yi Wen's position was the worst, because he was under once and overwritten by his uncivilized friends.

"Ce-Quick standing. Aw.. My back and my ass.. Stand up..!"

Again Yi Wen's face kissed the floor, he felt his chest almost explode from being hit by his friends who were so heavy. Xiao Lu also whimpered, he told whoever was on top of him to immediately step aside.

".. Hurry on..!"

Xiao Shuxiang started to stand followed by Lan Guan Zhi.

The Crazy Beggar Boy was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief even though his chest and back were a little sore.

Xiao Lu also started to stand up, he held his stomach which seemed to almost make his stomach come out due to being hit by three men whose weight was not playful.

"God.. Xiao'Er, your Moving Mirror this time is really lousy. Ouch.. Sscs.. Yi Wen, how are you?"

"I.. I can no longer live.. Good bye,"

"Don't joke, let's get up.."

Xiao Lu chuckled, "Who told 'your information' is too big, you're still a girl right?"

"Sister Lu, what does a big chest have to do with a girl or not? This that.. One of the advantages of Yi Wen,"

Despite acting a little arrogant, but it only lasted a few seconds before Yi Wen again grimaced due to his chest and back pain. He then intended to protest at his Brother Xiao but did not so after seeing his brother's nose bleed.

"Brother Xiao..?! What's wrong with you?!"

Xiao Lu and the Mad Beggar Boy turned their heads, they also realized that Xiao Shuxiang's nose was reddened to the point of bleeding. And the most surprising thing was, Young Master Lan's nose also experienced the same thing.

"Xiao 'Er.. Don't tell me you're.."

"What's? This nose hit Lan Zhi's chin. I thought it would break. Aiih, it really hurts,"

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his nose softly, his voice somehow from when it returned to how it was. And in a few seconds.. The pain in his nose was no longer felt.

Xiao Lu, "Young Master Lan, what about you? Your nose.. Also.. Bloody,"

Lan Guan Zhi did not answer Xiao Lu's question and preferred to stare at Xiao Shuxiang. From the look in his eyes it was clear that he was blaming this friend standing beside him.

"His nose hit my face," Xiao Shuxiang so lightly answered Xiao Lu's question. He tore off a bit of cloth on his left arm and helped clear the blood on Lan Guan Zhi's nose.

!

The Mad Beggar Boy blinked several times seeing this spontaneous incident, while Yi Wen and Xiao Lu appeared to put on faces of disbelief.

"Xiao 'Er.. You guys aren't kissing, are you?"

"You want to die?" Xiao Shuxiang turned towards Xiao Lu and cursed the chatty girl. "... Because you spread false rumors, my friendship with Lan Zhi was misunderstood by everyone,"

The Mad Beggar Boy rubbed his nape gently, before his own eyes he witnessed how Xiao Shuxiang cursed things while cleaning the blood on Lan Guan Zhi's nose carefully wearing a tear of his cloth.

"Ehm.."

The Mad Beggar Boy wanted to talk, but the intention was stopped. He was back in a jolt when it was Lan Guan Zhi's turn to gently wipe the blood on Xiao Shuxiang's nose using his sleeves.

"Lan Zhi, stop it.." Xiao Shuxiang held his friend's hand and said that he could be alone.

"You helped me. So let me do it,"

"Lan'Eer. It's because I hit you first, not you."

The Crazy Beggar Boy shook his head slowly seeing these two people talking. It was fortunate that Xiao Shuxiang was dressed as a woman, so this state of affairs was not very-so

".. It's even worse. Geez, I'm ashamed to see it myself.." The Mad Beggar Boy looked pale-faced, ".. Two young men, one dressed as a woman. And they're doing a blood-wiping scene in the nose. If one of them is a real girl, maybe this will be a romantic scene. But considering they're both bars.. It's the most horrific scene ever,"

As far as his career as a famous gay man.. This was the first time the Mad Beggar Boy felt both of his cheeks blushing. Although strongly denied by Xiao Shuxiang.. But according to him, these two young men have a really complicated relationship.

Xiao Lu blew his front bangs, "Xiao'Er, why do you keep denying this? You better not lie and be honest about your relationship with Young Master Lan.."

Xiao Lu crossed his hands in front of his chest and spoke again, ".. I won't protest your relationship and think you're weird. Your beautiful sister is supporting you completely, my Beloved Sister.."

There was an emphasis on Xiao Lu's words. His words made Xiao Shuxiang turn back and then shook his head slowly.

"You want me to be honest, I'll tell you the truth. Me, your most charming sister.. Befriend Lan Guan Zhi. Befriended. He thinks of me as his 'Grandfather' and I'll think of him as 'My grandson'. My concern for him is only Grandpa and Granddaughter. Youunderstand?"

Xiao Shuxiang also crossed his hands and blew hard his front bangs. He then looked at Xiao Lu and then continued his words.

".. I'm a very normal young man, my dear brother. And instead of you setting me up with Lan'Er, you better match me up with the White Cat. At least pray for your beloved sister to be able to marry like a normal young man in general, agree?"

"But I'd rather you marry Little Sister Ipar Lan.." Xiao Lu's murmur was heard clearly by Xiao Shuxiang, this made the young Alchemist throb his upper lip.

"Fussy Girl, you're even worse than the Crazy Beggar Boy. Throwing away those thoughts of yours, I can't possibly marry Lan Zhi even if she's the only handsome young man in this world,"

"Sorry interfering. But look around you,"

The soft voice of Ling Qing Zhu paused for a moment the Xiao brothers debate. Yi Wen, the Mad Beggar Boy, and Lan Guan Zhi only realized they were in the middle of a room while being noticed by many.

?!

"This.. Where the..?"

The people he saw were foreign to the Mad Beggar Boy, including the atmosphere of this place. Yi Wen and Xiao Lu were too, but when their attention turned to a little child dressed in pink with a skirt that was fluffy like a flower.. Both of them subconsciously widened their eyes.

?!

"Tianqi.. Mao?"

Xiao Shuxiang was also as shocked as Xiao Lu and Yi Wen. The 9-year-old boy was apparently Tianqi Mao, his adoptive brother.

"You are like having your own world to the point of not being aware of my existence and these guests. Really nice.."

Although the last words sounded like praise, but the look on Tianqi Mao's face seemed annoyed. This was just like when he caught Xiao Shuxiang and his friends while using the Moving Mirror and arrived at the girls' bath.

"What are you.. Have you found yourself, Shuxiang?"

Tianqi Mao asked as he watched Xiao Shuxiang's appearance from top to bottom. If it wasn't for the sound.. He would definitely believe that the one standing in front of him was truly a girl.

Xiao Shuxiang knew the direction of Tianqi Mao's concern, he immediately said that he was dressed like this for some reason. After all more importantly, how could he meet Tianqi Mao.

".. Aren't you in the Eastern Continent? Since when did you come to the Middle Continent? And.." Xiao Shuxiang looked around, ".. You're building a residence here?"

"Hm, no. You yourself have been misplaced, you are now in my residence, Flower-Eastern Dew City."

!!

Yi Wen and Xiao Lu were surprised not to play, nor was the Mad Beggar Boy.

Lan Guan Zhi, Xiao Shuxiang, and Ling Qing Zhu alone were also unable to hide their shocked expressions.

Xiao Shuxiang, "Tu-wait a minute. We just escaped from the avalanche of land in Golden Sun City, so how could I take my friends from the Middle Continent to the Eastern Continent for granted? This is impossible."

Tianqi Mao, "But you just did it,"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang opened his mouth but was unable to say anything. Yi Wen, Xiao Lu, the Mad Beggar Boy, Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu all seemed to have their eyes fixed on him.

"Brother Xiao-!!" Yi Wen immediately moaned as he was suddenly pinched violently by Xiao Lu, himself slapping the arm of this girl beside him and protesting why he should be pinched.

Xiao Lu, "To prove that we are not dreaming,"

"But it should be Brother Lu who pinches himself.." Yi Wen rubbed his hot, throbbing arm, Xiao Lu's loud pinch proved that this was not a dream.

Tianqi Mao was aware of the apparent disbelief on Xiao Shuxiang's face. He then signaled to two of his servants to come immediately. He asked them to take Xiao Shuxiang and his friends to his private room.

".. We'll talk later,"

Tianqi Mao had to take care of his guests first, he asked Xiao Shuxiang to rest as well as change clothes while waiting for him.
