XIAO SHUXIANG'S
355 - The New Pillar
It was not only Xiao Shuxiang who had a secret, but also the Mad Beggar Boy. The young man had lived for a long time, he had even forgotten how old he was now.
The most surprising thing about the Mad Beggar Boy was that he was born when the five continents were still fused, and the land was almost more dominating than the ocean. He is the oldest human being and warrior ever.
The journey of Crazy Beggar Boy's life seemed much more difficult than humans in general, but because of his unyielding efforts.. He managed to become a legendary figure.
Many paintings and books were actually about him, but all of them were immediately removed by the Crazy Beggar Boy. Every 30 years, he fakes his own death.
Such a long journey, Mad Beggar Boy has witnessed how humans live and die, the old generation is replaced with the next generation, war as well as every phenomenon in human life, he said, he exists and is a living witness to it all.
Although sometimes faking his death, but the face of the Crazy Beggar Boy is certainly not easily forgotten, especially for those closest to him. Honey, every human being has a predetermined death. They experienced it one after another, leaving the Crazy Beggar Boy alone.
Long life is actually an advantage of being a World Pillar. They would not be able to die before passing on all the abilities they had and the heir was able to develop them until the heavens designated them as the new World Pillar.
Among the five pillars, only the Mad Beggar Boy whose position as a pillar was never changed. In the past he had chosen a young man as his heir, but after being tested several times.. The man was unable to meet his expectations.
It was difficult indeed to find a person who could master the Six Elements of Deep Power, let alone be able to increase it. Even up to this second, the Mad Beggar Boy had yet to find his heir.
".. And now, I was faced with this problem instead," the Mad Beggar Boy let out a slow breath and then looked closely at Xiao Shuxiang's face before finally setting his sights on his three juniors.
".. The reason I gathered you guys here is to make sure of something. Is this child really going to make you an heir? You've heard the truth about him, so what now..?"
!
Xiao Shuxiang gasped at the question from the Mad Beggar Boy, he already knew enough that the four people in front of him were part of the Five Pillars of the World.
There was no need for anyone to be asked anymore or pretend to be innocent, Xiao Shuxiang already knew the situation now. He could have concluded by himself that unconsciously.. He had become the heir of the Three Pillars of the World at once.
Xiao Shuxiang inhaled a deep breath and began to puff his cheeks. "I'm too smart to pretend to be innocent. Why does this have to happen..? This kind of luck should come to good people, not people like me.. Hiya.."
Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, he listened to every reply of the three old rangos sitting beside him.
Duan De had first answered the Crazy Beggar Boy's question. He had already chosen Xiao Shuxiang as his disciple and it would not be him pulling even if he knew the true identity of this young man.
".. This Naughty Boy is no longer the same as he used to be. He has a strong desire to change, that alone is enough for me to choose him as the heir,"
!
"Grandfather.." Xiao Shuxiang blinked, not expecting Duan De to say so.
Before leaving the Eastern Continent.. He had indeed made a confession that for him, Duan De was a teacher.
But when he reveals his identity.. Xiao Shuxiang was already unsure of being considered a disciple by this Long Bearded Grandfather. But who would have thought, the old Bangka still want to accept it.
Vaguely a smile was painted on Xiao Shuxiang's face, he felt his heart fall back. It's so fun, though,
Unlike Duan De who only chose Xiao Shuxiang a.. Elder Da Lin and Blind Grandfather The Writers of the Book of Two Breathing each chose two people as their heirs.
Elder Da Lin gave the demon locking seal to his descendants, and passed down most of the skill books, valuables, as well as the White Jade Flute to Xiao Shuxiang.
When the young man in front of him upgraded the heirloom of One Ring first.. The knowledge of the demon locking seal entered abruptly into Xiao Shuxiang's memory. So indeed indirectly, the Alchemist Chef became the heir to Elder Da Lin's seal.
To the Blind Grandfather the Book of Two Breathing Writers-He had a disciple in the Northern Continent who was an expert in Fire Respiratory Techniques, in contrast to Xiao Shuxiang who was more skilled at using the Water Breathing Technique.
The disciple of the Blind Grandfather the Author of the Book of Two Breathing was Yuuichi, a samurai whose face was quite similar to Xiao Shuxiang but had the same personality as Lan Guan Zhi.
Hearing him clearly made Xiao Shuxiang not expect this, either, the new friend he had met during his trip in the Northern Continent had apparently been the heir of one of the Breathing Techniques in the Heaven and Earth Respiratory Book written by this Blind Grandfather.
Although Elder Da Lin and Akatsuki had two heirs, it did not completely eliminate Xiao Shuxiang's status as the heir of the Three Pillars of the World, much less make his burden lift slightly.
Elder Da Lin, ".. Senior, just like Duan De. I don't mind the identity of this kid either. To me, he's a human being.."
"Senior, I agree too. The first time I met her, I started to feel like she was different from the people I had met. At that time I was sure this child would bring about a lot of change, and my faith still persists today,"
The Blind Grandfather of the Book of Two Breathing Writers and Elder Da Li seemed to be smiling as he let out the words earlier, they seemed so confident in their own words, that they still chose Xiao Shuxiang.
"Hearing the three of you didn't reject it, then I couldn't do anything either. Then from now on"
"Wait," Xiao Shuxiang interrupted the Crazy Beggar Boy's remark, ".. You guys seem to have forgotten, I have a destiny to destroy everything. What happens when a World Pillar who has the task of protecting even become the perpetrator of destruction? L'm.. I think you should find someone else,"
The Mad Beggar Boy snorted with a faint smile, he said that only the fate of death had been set. Outside of that.. Everything is uncertain.
".. If you really want to change, then your worries about you making a mess will disappear. All you need to do is open your heart and let someone else come in and fill it up,"
The Mad Beggar Boy explained that Xiao Shuxiang had been just a lonely person all along. People who have no friends and no guides.
".. You are like living without direction, too free to be difficult to control. Your bloodthirsty illness is proof of how inattentive your life is,"
Xiao Shuxiang looked at the Mad Beggar Boy, he seemed to listen to the young man's explanation who honestly felt right in his hearing.
"Then what about you? Live that long.. Don't you feel lonely too?"
"Mm, right. I feel it too.." The Mad Beggar Boy did not deny Xiao Shuxiang's question, ".. But I have my own way of dealing with it,"
!
Seeing the Crazy Beggar Boy smiling strangely made Xiao Shuxiang shudder. It seemed that now he knew why this young man in front of him liked to do 'it' with other youths.
"You're disgusting. Why don't you just hook up with the girl? Handsome face and body are very good, I am sure that you are included in the ranks of dream youth.. Ck ck, you're wasting your life,"
"Huh, there are several reasons why I prefer men. First, I don't like women because they're noisy, they're troublesome, overly curbed, easily jealous, grumpy, impatient, coercive, and very annoying."
Xiao Shuxiang, "In essence you don't like women, do you?"
"really so. Men are much better. But right now I'm eyeing Lan'Er Gege.. He's got a muscular body and a very-"
!!
The Crazy Beggar Boy was shocked when Xiao Shuxiang suddenly kicked down the jade table in front of him. The young man gave her an unwelcome look.
"Say if you want to die here right now. I'll gladly grant it.."
Xiao Shuxiang could at least if Lan Guan Zhi, his best friend was to be the target of a young man as fragrant as the Mad Beggar Boy. At any rate, he had to keep a close eye on Lan Guan Zhi and keep an eye on this annoying young man.
"Calm down.. I won't do anything to Lan'Er Gege. But not a promise. Now you better seriously listen to me,"
The Mad Beggar Boy explained about the Realm of the Gods that he had been investigating all along. It was quite surprising because the information he got led to one thing.
Swordsmen and Cultivators who had reached a certain level and succeeded in controlling themselves would be elevated to the Realm of the Gods, but could not stay in the Human World anymore.
".. In the past, there were indeed cultivators from the Realm of the Gods who came here to seal the Nine World Gates, after which they never set foot again in this place.." Crazy Beggar Boy then expressed what had been troubling his mind.
".. I've always felt that the Realm of the Gods has been taken over by the creatures of your world, so they're free to play humans into cattle, like,"
The Crazy Beggar Boy actually had a hard time explaining how this could happen. However the demons that fell asleep in the Southern Continent and the presence of Xiao Shuxiang became proof that the beings from The Fallen Angel World had long come to this World.
".. I once had a friend who was successfully elevated to the Realm of the Gods. At first he routinely came to the Human World to see me. We discussed many things including life in another world. He promised to come again, but it was apparently my last meeting with him,"
Crazy Beggar Boy explained that his friend is not a person who likes to break promises. Knowing that his friend never came to see him certainly made him feel suspicious.
".. The last time he came was when he helped seal the Nine World Gates in the past. But I feel like the devil existed first,"
Not without reason the Mad Beggar Boy said so, this was because he had seen humans who had the same face and aroma in six different times.
The person he was referring to was none other than Xiao Shuxiang, and to make himself even more certain.. He asked the young man in front of him to extend a hand.
"Hm? What do you want with my hand?" Xiao Shuxiang did not refuse at all, he extended his right hand despite feeling astonished.
!
The Mad Beggar Boy held Xiao Shuxiang's hand and rubbed the young man's palm. Only by using his thumb-he scratched Xiao Shuxiang's palm until it bled.
Compared to pain.. Xiao Shuxiang was more to the surprise of what the Mad Beggar Boy had done to him. But the explanation of this gay young man further made himself not intend to protest.
"You have a very rare blood, a blood that is never stained with lies. You have kept your nature for over ten lives, obviously your blood is rare and even purer than the Elves,"
"That-that's.."
"You want to know what I think of you? To me, you're like an angel wrapped in the skin of a demon. You can be very cruel, but you can also be kind. Surprisingly, whatever nature you exhibit never detracts from the purity and purity of your blood..
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was shocked to hear the words of the Mad Beggar Boy. Although faint, but the tip of his ear looks reddened. He just wanted to boast, but the Mad Beggar Boy immediately gave him a warning to always be careful.
Duan De, "Blood of the Star.. I used to be kidnapped and forced to make swords using human bones, flesh, and blood. But if Senior says this child has special blood.. Then he could definitely become a great sword-making material,"
!!
"Grandfather Long Beard, so now you're going after me? Come here and make me a sword-making material if you can," Xiao Shuxiang threatened to cut off Duan De's beard if the old man really targeted him.
Xiao Shuxiang stared at the wound on his palm that was slowly starting to close, he took a breath before returning to talk, this time the look on his face looked solemn.
"I know the greatest danger that comes after me. But right now all I have to do is prepare themselves so well that they get tired of hiding and showing their true appearance right in front of me,"
Xiao Shuxiang understood very well that he was being targeted by an unusual person and did not rule out the possibility that the person knew his true identity.
He actually does not know the enemy's plan, but his feelings say what his enemy is or will do later.. Threatens the safety of many.
The Mad Beggar Boy himself only wanted to know the identity of Xiao Shuxiang and what this young man wanted. All his questions were answered by Xiao Shuxiang's description who said he wanted to live a good life.
Now that there was nothing in doubt by the Mad Beggar Boy, he was sure that only this young man was able to help him overcome the threat of the Human World.
Xiao Shuxiang was created from The Fallen Angel World, but he was completely unwilling to be a part of those creatures.
Already his life has been toyed with, now he has a chance to fight back and free himself from his destiny - of course he will choose the best path.

Long enough Xiao Shuxiang was in the Nirwana Realm made by the Mad Beggar Boy. When I returned, it was very late.
He had apparently been in that realm for almost three days, this condition made him continue to curse the Mad Beggar Boy along the way.
".. Lan Zhi must be looking for me, and this is all because of you. Can't you keep your distance from him? Lan Zhi that young man is fine, don't damage his brain with your perverted filthy thoughts..!"
"Oh, this kid.. Can't you just be polite, huh? I'm your 'Artiorm'..! You talk for almost four hours non-stop, aren't you tired? I'm approaching Lan'Er Gege also has nothing to do with you,"
!
Xiao Shuxiang halted his steps and stared pushyly at the Crazy Beggar Boy. "Lan Zhi is both my best friend and the one who thinks I'm his 'Grandfather'. So I'm not going to let my beloved granddaughter be on a deviant path because of you, so keep a good look at what I just said. Understood?!"
The Mad Beggar Boy blinked, he then snorted softly and started to make a sound. "You know, I feel sorry for you because Lan'Er Gege only thinks of you as 'Grandfather'. So in his eyes.. You're just Old Grandpa, ck ck.. Poor thing.."
"Cakras"
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy instantly smothered Xiao Shuxiang's mouth as this young man beside him almost mentioned his name.
"No matter what you hate me, please never mention my name or I will kiss you and touch you in this place, right now. This isn't Shuxiang's threat, I'm really going to do it,"
The voice and eyes of the Mad Beggar Boy were so serious. But it was not Xiao Shuxiang's name when it was easily threatened in this shameless manner.
His mouth was still smothered yet Xiao Shuxiang did not lose his mind. He held the Mad Beggar Boy's hand and immediately next bit the hand quite hard.
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy spontaneously let out a scream, he retracted his hand and lent Xiao Shuxiang a savage beast.
".. Even though I'm a great swordsman, but do you think the bite wasn't painful, huh? Ssh.. This even goes to the point of. You're totally outrageous..!"
"Heeh, only now are you acting like an oppressed person. Where did your wife go? Living in Nirvana? I don't like lascivious and gay boys like you. But if you dare to give me such a threat again, then don't blame me for serving you a few rounds in bed. And I'll make sure you can't walk for a week, this isn't a threat."
Xiao Shuxiang's eye color flashed red as he said it. He grinned and gently wagged his hair then walked away leaving the Crazy Beggar Boy frozen with his mouth wide open.
To face this same-sex youth.. Xiao Shuxiang indeed had to put aside his pride for a moment. If the Mad Beggar Boy acted shamelessly, then he could too.
Only once did the movement of the fingers and a mirror as tall as an adult body appear in front of Xiao Shuxiang. He casually entered the mirror and arrived at Lan Guan Zhi's room.
His friend was seen sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. Seeing the face and calmness of this friend made Xiao Shuxiang feel a sense of peace.
The moving mirror slowly faded and then disappeared. He clearly died Mad Beggar Boy in the artificial bamboo forest that was still in the territory of the Sky Sword Sect, right now maybe the gay young man was cursing a lot.
Lan Guan Zhi slowly opened his eyes upon sensing the presence of someone. He saw the figure of the white-clothed youth standing not too far away from him.
"Sorry to wake you Lan'Er.."
Despite apologizing, Xiao Shuxiang did not appear at all guilty. He walked over and began to sit beside Lan Guan Zhi.
"Where have you been?"
"You're looking for me, aren't you..? Excuse me.. Crazy Beggar Boy kidnapped me. Fortunately I was not touched by him. You listen to me, he's a terrible young man, careful with him, hm?"
Lan Guan Zhi looked at Xiao Shuxiang for a moment before turning his gaze downwards, right where this fellow was holding his left hand.
"Shuxiangsu.. You go to sleep,"
Lan Guan Zhi felt Xiao Shuxiang was like a lack of rest. The closed training that his friend runs must have drained a lot of energy and mental. Although the regeneration of his friend's body was great, but Xiao Shuxiang also had to keep resting.
"You need to listen to me, keep your distance from that person. He's dangerous to you, man.."
"Mrs.." Lan Guan Zhi cleared away the slight stain on Xiao Shuxiang's right temple and asked his friend back to sleep.
*
*
Xiao Shuxiang was indeed resting, he took over Lan Guan Zhi's bed, naturally with the permission of his own friend.
Despite lying down while closing his eyes, in fact Xiao Shuxiang thought of everything that happened in the Nirwana Realm made by the Mad Beggar Boy.
Before exiting the place, Elder Da Lin, the Blind Grandfather of the Book of Two Breathing Writers, and the Crazy Beggar Boy himself-helped him refine the Soul Restraint Chain Seal.
In the end, in his body he was currently wrapped around ten chains back. The strength of this chain was much stronger than before. In addition, Xiao Shuxiang was now part of the World Pillar.
?!
Xiao Shuxiang suddenly opened his eyes when he remembered something. "Wait, Mad Beggar Boy said there are 5 Pillars. Then where's one more pillar..?"
