Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy arrived at a room that was quite large in a sky blue tinge. Many decorations of long cloth in this place, some plants, and the rest are charming paintings.
The Mad Beggar Boy spread his gaze around, he was not the same as Xiao Shuxiang who directly fixed his gaze on a sizable bed.
"Shuxiang, is this your room?"
"Get up and I don't care either.." Xiao Shuxiang so carefully laid Lan Guan Zhi, he exhaled a sigh of relief and then turned his head towards the Mad Beggar Boy.
".. It's my room or it's not clear we're safe here. Now I want to take a shower and you lock the door. I don't want the owner of this room coming."
!?
The Crazy Remembrance Boy blinked before finally snorting, "You are so disrespectful to your 'Art'. Can't you ask for help in a softer way, huh?"
"Please lock the door, Senior." Xiao Shuxiang suppressed his voice at the last word. He walked towards a closet and picked up a set of clothes in it.
It was good that the clothes belonged to one of the princes, even though Xiao Shuxiang had thought of going the wrong place and instead entered the room of one of the princesses.
The Crazy Beggar Boy himself locked the door just as Xiao Shuxiang wanted. He exhaled and cursed in his heart for having to do what the young man wanted.
He turned around and stepped towards one of the chairs. He saw Xiao Shuxiang walking towards the wooden bulkhead where behind it was a fairly large bathtub.
?!
The eyes of the Crazy Beggar Boy began to be fixed on a teapot that was on the table - right in front of him.
Without further ado he put down the bamboo stick and the two swords he was carrying, then started to take the teapot.
It had been a long time since the Mad Beggar Boy had drunk, his throat was so dry as he started to smell the fragrant aroma from the wine in this teapot.
He did not pour wine on the cup in front of him. The Mad Beggar Boy drank the wine directly from the pot made of silver. He was amazed because this wine was a quality drink.
On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang did not know what the Mad Beggar Boy was doing behind the wooden bulkhead. He focused on soaking and cleaning himself.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a medium-sized mirror appeared slowly before Xiao Shuxiang. He stared at the reflection of his face and noticed the seal on his forehead.
The seal was somewhat similar to Spider Lily, a red colored flower that was actually a type of plant that grew wildly in the Middle Continent.
His hand rubbed his forehead and the mark did not disappear at all. He exhaled and then shook his head slowly.
"Mh.. Actually, this doesn't affect my appearance very much. I even look more handsome.. Tsk, Aaah.. You are amazing Xiao Shuxiang."
If only the Mad Beggar Boy had heard the Alchemist Chef's praise of himself-it would have been most likely that he would have let out his scathing sneer.
The mirror before Xiao Shuxiang began to disappear. He came out of the bath after admiring himself.
Finished getting dressed, he walked out and saw the Crazy Beggar Boy who was enjoying his drink so much. Xiao Shuxiang walked up to the man and sat down on one of the chairs.
Xiao Shuxiang's hair was long, visibly wet with bangs that he started to play around with.
The Crazy Beggar Boy noticed it and slightly frowned, "You why? Do you want a drink too?"
The bamboo stick man poured the wine in his carafe and handed it to Xiao Shuxiang. He himself returned to drinking wine straight from his teapot.
"It's really good wine.. Very tasty..!" Crazy Beggar Boy was so happy, it was a pity that no food could be a companion of his quality drink.
"You better not drink too much, I don't want to take care of drunk people." Xiao Shuxiang took the cup before him, paying attention to the wine inside before downing it with a single gulp.
"I'm not going to get drunk.. It won't.." Crazy Beggar Boy smiled silly and said that he was not that weak until he was drunk just by spending a pot of wine, this was clearly not how much.
As he was about to fill the empty cup Xiao Shuxiang-Laughter Mad Beggar instantly gasped as he felt his arm warm up. He remembered something he had almost forgotten.
"Shuxiang, give me your hand."
"Mn?" Xiao Shuxiang's forehead shriveled when he heard the man before him. He felt this person had already started in the influence of the drink.
"Shuxiang, why are you quiet? Quickly give me your hand,"
"Heah.. You're really drunk now." Xiao Shuxiang stretched out his hand rather lazily, he gasped when the Mad Beggar Boy instead pulled him over.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was just about to snap when he saw the movement of an ancient symbol that came from the arms of the Mad Beggar Boy and moved into his right hand.
"It's.."
"Lan'Er Gege left it to me. I've seen it on you, so I think it's yours. You really have a great heirloom."
Xiao Shuxiang blinked in disbelief. First was Yinng xiong back at him, and now he also obtained his Semestal Bracelet. Really, this is a fun thing.
As the saying goes, 'If Heaven Destines Something in You, You'll Never Lose It.'
"Wait." Xiao Shuxiang sensed something strange, "It seems.. My Semest bracelet has a lot of people."
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy saluted the ability of the young man before him, "Indeed a lot, I used it to save a lot of people. But.. I just know how to get them into that heirloom and I don't know how to get them out."
"Well, I think you're such a person." Xiao Shuxiang snorted and shook his hand slowly.
He took out three medium-sized wine jars from within his Semesta Bracelet and made the Crazy Beggar Boy almost fall out of his chair from his so much delight.
"You know what I want. We can have a full day's worth of drinks if this is the case, do you have any nuts, too? Drinking wine is incomplete without eating nuts,"
"Damn.. I don't have anything like that. But if you want a friend to drink wine, maybe this one can."
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy gasped when Xiao Shuxiang took out a pile of fresh carrots, "You're kidding me huh? I'm not a rabbit..!"
"That's all I have. If you don't want to, then there's no need to eat it. Let me be," Xiao Shuxiang picked up one obviously unprocessed carrot and started eating it, he then poured the wine on the cup in front of him and then downed it.
"You're not at all exciting, Wuxian." The Mad Beggar Boy pouted and poured Xiao Shuxiang's wine on the other cup on the table and drank it.
This wine has a sweet aroma, it tastes light, refreshing, and is so amazing. Compared to the wine that was just now, this wine is a thousand times tastier.
"Waah~ I feel like I'm reborn. Nice wine..! Very good..!"
"You're right. I felt like I had lost it all, thankfully the sky was still good enough for me." Xiao Shuxiang would not forget the incident where his Semestal Bracelet was burning in the fire belonging to Qian Kun. It was the most painful and heartbreaking sight.
"You don't have to think about it anymore, now it's better to look ahead.." Crazy Beggar Boy advises. He again filled his empty cup while asking about Xiao Shuxiang's next plan.
".. You know, right? Your wife's family is demanding an explanation. You're hiding something big from them. It's not a trivial matter, I myself can't help much either."
Xiao Shuxiang twirled his wine cup when he heard the Mad Beggar Boy say. He was thinking the same thing. The matter that had occurred between him and the Ling family was not finished yet, and his identity had not been known to his own family.
"I think I will do something troublesome again," Xiao Shuxiang exhaled. He downed the wine in his cup and looked at the Crazy Beggar Boy, his eyes looking different.
"You have to help me. I'll admit everything. In front of the White Snow Emperor, in front of my grandfather, father and mother, then the Three Elders, the elders in the Sky Sword Sect, uncle Lai Kuan Ye and the other brothers."
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy choked on his wine as he stung at Xiao Shuxiang's remark, he was obviously very surprised.
"Are you okay, son? Did your head ever hit something? Admitting everything in front of everyone?! The Ling family just didn't receive you, you've seen their reaction, right? Aren't you afraid that the people you know are doing the same?"
"…"
The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled, he tried to calm himself down. Clearly this was something risky, and it was seen that the young man before him also had doubts.
The world he was referring to was The Fallen Angel World, as well as the Elf World that Elder Da Lin had once said. Yet Xiao Shuxiang interpreted it as the Four Worlds having a relationship with him.
"No. If it were a problem, I wouldn't say anything. My confession is only about the reincarnation of the Destroying Star and about the color of these eyes."
"Shuxiang, I'll tell you the truth, but you can't be angry. The color of your eyes does look like it belongs to a monster. I wouldn't say it's like 'Devil', because it's too rude."
"So you think the word 'monster' is more subtle, huh? Clearly, only a confession about that can be said."
Given one confession only his White Cat family and the warriors in the Middle Continent have been very excited, even so afraid to try to kill him - especially now if coupled with his other confessions.
"I'm not sure they'll accept me, Mad Beggar Boy.."
"I'm not sure either. What if after you admit it and they attack you? I can't imagine what kind of chaos that's going to happen"
"I'll kill them all."
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy choked on wine a second time, he heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice so cold and this made him cough a few times. His hair even stood up suddenly.
"He-hey..! You serious?!"
"We will gather in one room, but I will not die if they attack. I'm the one who's gonna slaughter them all."
"Wait, Shuxiang..! You're being serious?! Your grandfather and parents?! Your uncle and friends?! Are you sure you're gonna kill them?!"
"Why not? If they won't accept me, then I don't need them either. Wouldn't it be better to get rid of everything?" Xiao Shuxiang was not joking, he was serious with his words and this made the Mad Beggar Boy involuntarily gulp.
"You.. Hasn't it changed for the better..? Those are.. It's still your family after all. You've been through a lot with them, won't you hesitate to swing your sword at all..?"
"Crazy Beggar, all I said was a plan. Whether or not it will actually materialize, it all depends on their answer and response. You yourself will also be present there, protect them if you do not want to side with me. That might be better."
Xiao Shuxiang poured the wine back into his cup. He was about to drink it when his eyes saw the Mad Beggar Boy's face, his lips faintly forming a smile.
The massacre Xiao Shuxiang was referring to was not by swinging a sword. He could kill them all without moving, even the Crazy Beggar Boy himself would not be able to avoid this.
"Then what about Lan'Er Gege? Are you gonna kill him if he's not on your side?" The Crazy Beggar boy spontaneously asked, ".. You can't kill someone valuable to you, can you?"
"…"
Xiao Shuxiang turned his head, he stared towards the bed where his good friend was lying there. He then exhaled and looked back at the Crazy Beggar Boy.
"Say you and I have a resemblance, we've both lived a lot longer. The difference is that I was born and raised in the teaching of the Black Stream. Since childhood, I have been taught how to kill. Become strong by breaking off the relationship. Not only me, but the children living in that harsh region were forced to kill their own parents in order to no longer have any weaknesses. So if things are pushy, I won't be disinclined by him either."
The Mad Beggar Boy took a carrot in front of him, ate the carrot, and then let out a slow breath. "I really wish it wasn't going to happen. Lan'Er Gege himself looks so protective of you, he doesn't care about your identity and what I've noticed all along - Lan'Er Gege thinks of you as a person of value to him."
"I mean, he's a good kid.." Xiao Shuxiang returned to drink his wine. He and the Crazy Beggar Boy spent quite a lot of time conversing.
Far away where the two were, Ling Qing Zhu was seen treating the citizens of the Middle Continent who had previously entered the Moving Mirror. Miss Honey Blood was also with him.
They were inside a room that was the Hall of Court belonging to the Northern Heavens Emperor, Yang Chai Jidan.
The emperor himself was initially so shocked to see many people suddenly appearing in the backyard of his palace. Especially when he was noticed, they were all in an injured state, he was clearly shocked.
Amongst the many foreigners, it was indeed only Ling Qing Zhu whom he knew. She had also actually seen Siu Yixin, though never talked together - but Yang Chai Jidan knew the man was a friend of her great-grandson.
Ling Qing Zhu himself only explained the state of the Middle Continent in a few words, the others were helped by the Honey Blood Miss so that Yang Chai Jidan knew that the Central Continent was in a bad state.
Yang Chai Jidan immediately ordered his servants to help remove the injured citizens, taking them all to this Hall of Court, as well as summoning the palace healers.
Yang Shu and Yang Fu were actually also in this palace. Both of them were shocked when they found out that the Central Continent was under attack. They wanted to go to the continent, but Ling Qing Zhu did not know how to get to the Central Continent in such a short time, Miss Honey Blood did as well.
Yang Shu's worry grew even more when Ling Qing Zhu discussed Xiao Shuxiang who was fighting fiercely with a monster. Although Yang Shu knew his favorite grandson was strong, but still as a grandfather - he was worried.
Neither Yang Shu nor Ling Qing Zhu, nor those in this room knew that Xiao Shuxiang was already in the Northern Continent. They did not know that the battle in the Middle Continent had ended with the disappearance of Raka Daksa and Xiao Shuxiang using the Moving Mirror to come here.
In fact, it was not because Yang Chai Jidan's palace had no security that others could enter just like that, let alone the many foreigners who appeared suddenly. But indeed because of the speciality of the Moving Mirror was being able to break through the protective seal of the palace.
The cultivators in charge of watching the intricacies of Yang Chai Jidan's palace in a sealed room were even shocked when they saw the many people who had suddenly appeared. If they had not noticed clearly, they might have already assumed the person who came was an intruder.

"Do you have no food other than carrots? I really can't stop thinking about this thing being a wine-drinking companion," Mad Beggar Boy clucked, he had eaten four carrots and three times felt nauseous.
Xiao Shuxiang had already heard many complaints of the man before him and he felt that this was enough. He then got up and flicked the forehead of the Crazy Beggar Boy until the man whimpered.
"Xiao Shuxiang's..! What the hell are you doing?! Oh..!! Sick knows..!"
"Basic fool. You keep complaining and grumbling a lot because of that carrot, but you still eat it. Did I force you, huh?! If you don't want to, then you already have. Stop the. No need to eat it anymore." Xiao Shuxiang again drank his wine, he then began to improve his sitting position until it felt more comfortable.
The Mad Beggar Boy rubbed his forehead, he looked pouted but just like his nickname - he was acting normal as if nothing had ever happened. "We've been here a long time and Lan'Er Gege hasn't woken up yet. You sure he's okay?"
Xiao Shuxiang stared at the Mad Beggar Boy for a moment before taking out a pill from within his Semestal Bracelet. He took the pill and began to look at the place where his best friend was.
"Lan Zhi's Bloodline was smooth, there was no blockage whatsoever. And his heartbeat was also normal, I didn't see anything wrong. Most likely she was too tired, her condition now due to not resting the body for the past few days."
Xiao Shuxiang blinked, the pill he had eaten just now was the God Eye Pill. He could see the organs in his good friend's body without inspecting them directly by flowing Qi.
This pill if used for a good cause was actually very helpful to Xiao Shuxiang, considering that he had such a unique Qi that it could not be casually flowed into any human body.
"Crazy Beggar, the quality of your bones is indeed the most outstanding. I can still get goosebumps if I see it,"
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy was startled, he spontaneously crossed his arms in front like a girl trying to cover her body. "You.. What did you actually see? As if you could see right through my clothes,"
"Indeed that's the case," Xiao Shuxiang spoke so calmly, "I can see it. You have a nice body and a pretty tattoo stole my attention,"
!!
"Stop, stop..! You're so shameless. That's her name harassment..! You're such a pervert, really late..!"
"Why do you react like you're a victim? The effect of your pill lasted for 5 minutes, I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. I also have no intention of looking at your bottom, nothing worth seeing, I guess."
"Shuxiang..!"
!
Xiao Shuxiang caught the carrot thrown by the Mad Beggar Boy, and he ate it. He again heard the grunts of this bamboo stick man until a voice startled him.
"Why can't my bedroom door be opened? What's the matter?!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy jumped in shock. They immediately rushed towards the door when they heard a loud enough sound.
With the effects of the Divine Eye Pill still present, Xiao Shuxiang could see a young man dressed in deep blue was banging on the door.
"It's locked from the inside?! Hey..huh...! How dare you enter my room..! Get out now..!"
!!
