Shen Jiu's Self Saving System

Chapter 2

Cultivating through meditation overall made Liu Qingge's limbs feel lighter and more within Shen Jiu's control. Although Liu Qingge's cultivation was already great, being a peak lord and all, Shen Jiu improved it by leaps and bounds with his calmer Dao. Which, of course, made sense considering the brutish nature of that cretin! This state proclaimed that he'd already obtained one hundred percent command over this body; even the last shred of discoordination had been annihilated.

Being in Liu Qingge's body made Shen Jiu feel all the more disgusted. Honestly. Being transmigrated into the body of a person which you despise? Shen Jiu would have liked it better if he was stuck as someone mediocre with no cultivation. And cultivation was quite literally his life, yet at the same time the bane of his existence. Honestly! This brute knew absolutely nothing yet made it his business to criticise and degrade Shen Jiu. Tsk, he was probably born with a silver spoon in his mouth! He had no right to judge! Especially when his mental capacity was far lower than that of an infant.

Considering you need your brain to even move Shen Jiu wondered how Liu Qingge didn't already die in a ditch somewhere, for his lack there of.

Cussing Liu Qingge out one more time he decided to practice sword techniques. Surely he'd be found out just by the graceful way he holds a sword. Liu Qingge obviously has no class nor sophistication so there's no way he could practice sword stances like that.

Though, he wondered why he'd always seek him out. Even in his own residence. Was it not even more troublesome to travel between peaks just for the sake of ostracising him? Tsk. The disdain he held for that man was immeasurable. Though, he was the only person who made an effort to visit him apart from the sect leader... but neither were welcome!

Though, he'd have rather Liu Qingge living in this timeline. After all Shen Jiu had suffered through he had realised: he really didn't deserve anything. Not this new chance at life nor his shidi's body.

"Shidi? How's your situation over there? This Shixiong will be leaving now..." Shen Yuan knocked on the wall a little to express his goodwill. He had no idea how repulsed Shen Jiu was at him.
"I should be going soon too..." he whispered to himself until alarms blared in his head so loudly it made him think. Death is still an option. Death is always an option.
[OOC! OOC ALERT! LIU QINGGE WOULD NOT EXIT SECLUSION AT THE SAME TIME AS SHEN QINGQIU! THIS WILL RESULT IN A DEDUCTION OF B-POINTS!!!]
"Shit! No matter what I do I'll be doing it at the same time as Liu Qingge because I'm currently inhabiting his body!!!"

[+50 B-points for yelling. Liu Qingge is good at yelling.]

Liu Qingge let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the space between his brows. He calmed himself, though the scowl could still be shown on his brow. It's probably permanent knowing Shen Jiu's personality.

He'll wait a few sichen, cultivate a little longer then make himself more presentable. Slowing his breathing, he stretched his senses out while closing his eyes. He could hear the demons outside his abode. Tsk. Stupid system. He knew exactly how this would play out! AND THE ONE IN HIS BODY COULD RUIN IT FURTHER! he cursed the heavens.

No he needed to focus. While he could sit here and cuss his sect could be getting ruined. It's no different from burning ones home while they're out! Despicable demons! Although Qiong Ding Peak was neither his beforehand nor in this body, it's the duty of the peak lords to not bring shame on the sect! TCH! if only he'd exited seclusion earlier and told Zhangmen Shixiong not to be held up on that mission!

Not that he'd care if that bastards peak was burnt to the ground, only that it'd bring shame to his thin face.

He inhaled, absorbing the ambient Qi within the Ling Xi caves, and rose to 'his' feet. He dusted off his robes, he'd definitely need to bathe later. Ah. WAIT! IN THIS BODY!? H-he doesn't want to see this body in less than the appropriate amount of layers!!!

His face flushed and an odd feeling rose to his stomach. He must hate him so much that the anger is rushing to his face and the food in his stomach is roiling to be retched out at even the mere mention of Liu Qingge with less than the required amount of clothing.

He gracefully set a foot on Cheng Luan, wondering how Liu Qingge's spiritual weapon answered to him. It would make sense if it were a normal sword, but the sword was only supposed to answer to Liu Qingge's Devine soul.

[Dear User: System reminds host that Liu Qingge wouldn't help Shen QingQiu. Acting OOC will result in a deduction of B-points.]

Ouch... he guessed that may be true. Liu Qingge did hate him. He probably cursed him even in death... but Shen Jiu just couldn't stop his Qi deviation. He... he didn't mean to kill him. But that doesn't change the fact that it was all his fault. Maybe Shen Yuan really did deserve his body more than him. After all, he didn't end up killing his shidi...

Ahhh, shidi... if you were here right now. If you had lived through this... what would you do? I know you resent me. But your resentment is well founded. It was my fault. It was I who wronged you. Be it in life or in death I do not blame you. For anything. I know that I was insufferable. But... but this is our chance. To change fate... to defy destiny.

Though your reputation was great. I'll make it better. I'll make it 100x better. As an apology for taking your life. I'll take in disciples on your behalf. But only those worthy of you. As an apology for shunning you when you intended to apologise by coming all the way to Qing Jing peak. Don't think I didn't notice... I just... didn't want to... for I knew, that if you knew the real me you'd hate me all the more.

I'll make your successor worthy of your title: Bai Zhan War God. He sighed again, and lifted his face to the sky while stepping out of the Ling Xi caves. Letting the sun kiss his dead Shidi's skin. For all I regret... I regret your death the most. For whom would I quarrel with to quell any anxieties and oncoming rage? At least Binghe killing me in my past life gave you some retribution. Some vengeance. For that, I am grateful.

For all he pretended to hate Qingge. He never really could. Even when Liu Qingge used his brute force and muscles instead of his brain... it brought a smile to his lips. Of course in a sense that made him feel superior and more intellectually inclined, but that was besides the point.

Because. Now he was Liu Qingge. He couldn't afford to make mistakes and regret again. He'd have to watch his temper, his tongue and every decision. To make sure it'd be right. To make sure he deserved this second chance at life he was given. Because... for him to have this life, another had died.

He made a mental note to light incense later.

When he arrived on scene his eyes widened, he shouldn't have entrusted that man with his body and the sects safety! Not only did he just witness Shen Yuan begin fighting with Sha HuaLing, whose face was too thick to understand loss, he had witnessed Shen Yuan push Binghe out of the way, only to get spiked by the Without A Cure poison.

Roiling with killing intent, the master of Bai Zhan Peak whose sword had already left its sheath back at the Ling Xi caves, without even lifting a single finger and using only the spiritual energy bursting forth from his body, blasted away Sha Hualing who was attacking Shen Yuan with the entirety of her strength.

A/n: not me trying to make it funny yet trying to give characters some depth too-
Anyway, literally this chapter:
