Chapter 4: The Red Bandana Bandits; Mess at The Town Inn, Part 2
Xin Yue was sitting on the ground in front of the abandoned old temple while stroking his left ear with his slender and long fingertips. It was really the first time for him to hear faraway weapons that were about to aim for his life; it was as if his hearing senses were warning him in advance every time his life was in danger.
This had never happened to him before since he was just living in a normal world where the place was peaceful and there were no such things as demons, gods, or monsters. The fight that happened at the town inn earlier was like an adrenaline rush to him; he was dodging the incoming attacks with his own instincts for survival. He felt weird and amazed at the same time.
Well, I guess anyone would feel weird and amazed at this situation. Imagine you were fucking smashed by a truck after you saved a kitten and reincarnated in shitty grandma stories just to end up getting offered as a sacrifice for a fucking satellite, sold as a slave, tortured, raped, and in the end became a fucking god?! Like, what the hell?! Who wouldn't get confused?!
His face soured at the thought, and he glanced at the group of dry, fallen leaves on the ground. He picked up one dry fallen leaf and stared at it in a daze. "Hmm... maybe I should try cultivating? I have a good sense of hearing, and that's a rare thing on earth, but..." Xin Yue paused and watched the dry fallen leaf on his hand get blown by the wind, floating upwards.
Xin Yue picked up another dry fallen leaf again and stared at it in a daze while pondering for a long time. After a moment, he sighed and started talking to himself again.
"No, it's not easy. Though I always read cultivation novels a lot when I'm still a teenager, in reality it's not easy for someone like me. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CULTIVATE! WHAT'S BREATHING PEACEFULLY?! WHAT'S FOCUSING THE MIND IN TRANQUILITY?! I HAVE MOTHERFUCKING LOTS OF PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SOLVED IT! LET ALONE CULTIVATION! FUCK IT!"
"Brother Yue? Why are you shouting?" Feng Xi asked as he stepped out of the temple and peeked his head in Xin Yue's direction.
Xin Yue sighed heavily, picked up another dry fallen leaf again, and answered, "Nothing; I was just doing some shittalks."
"H-huh?" Feng Xin said in confusion.
Xin Yue didn't reply and stood while he threw the dry fallen leaf on his head, entered the abandoned old temple, and laid on the dusty wooden floor. He glanced at Feng Xin, who was still standing in the corner of the broken door. "What are you going to do now? Do you still want to follow me?"
Feng Xin, in his rear view, nodded while his head was down. Xin Yue sighed and stared at the wooden ceiling full of spider webs. "Even if I were to take a dangerous path?"
"En." Feng Xin nodded again with his gaze on the ground and his body standing stiff.
"Even though your life will be in danger?"
"Mmn." Feng Xin nodded for the third time again.
"Even if you drag me down?"
"........"
"What?" Xin Yue said in a sarcastic tone.
"I'll try to be useful next time. I'm sorry, Brother Yue."
Xin Yue raised his brows and shrugged before flipping his body to change his lying position. "Whatever, suit yourself." As soon as the night came, Xin Yue and Feng Xin immediately fell asleep inside the abandoned old temple for the night.
