Chapter 73 - 『Great And Mighty』

"Everyone knows that you are the one who killed gege, but why are the rumors don't have something to say about the Sect Leader Jin making gege drink a wine that is only reserved for cultivators?"

Wei Ying blinks for a while before sighing, "Even if they knew, they'll say that the bastard is innocent."

He continued to stroke his brush as he looked at the yellow talisman with deep thoughts.

"Because they will also say that gege is at fault for not saying he's coreless and still continued to drink the wine." Wei Ying says, not bothering to look at Xue Yang.

"Is he really at fault though?"

Is he?

"Partly, yes. I'll scold him one we go back." Wei Ying says, keeping the promise.

"Soon enough, the rumors about him will be shifted from good to being bad." Xue Yang says after a while.

The both of them could already hear the whispers around regarding the older.

Sect Leader Jin is not to blame.

Practically, it was Jiangshuai-zun's pride that led him to his demise.

No one even knows that his core was gone, and Sect Leader Jin simply offered a drink out of goodwill to the cultivators and imrove their cultivation.

"It was full of bullshit, rumors that is."

Ignorance? Bullshit. Sect Leader Jin Guangshan should have known it.

In fact, as Wei Xun's brother, they should've known it as well.

"Since Sect Leader Jin always harass gege, he should've found it at one point."

The question is, for how long since he found out?

Touching beyond the comfortable area is already a bad thing, what is more for actually trying to poison him since you cannot attain him by force?

'He should just rot in a dirty cell filled with rats or something.'

"Do you think gege had finally woke up?" Xue Yang suddenly asks after another long while before pursing his lips from the slip up.

Wei Ying huffs surprisingly, "How would I know? Let's just go to town and get something to eat. Gege will yell at us if he knows that we're ignoring our own meals."

This time, it was Xue Yang's turn to laugh.

"Fierce corpses have no need for food." Xue Yang says as if he was a respected bachelor.

But in all seriousness, Xue Yang found it troublesome to eat the food he once loved. What is the use of it when he couldn't even taste nor savor it anymore?

It was all just a waste of time.

"Gege says otherwise. That stiff body of yours also need the right nutrients, or so he says."

Huh, what a liar he is.

Gege didn't even say such thing to him. Wei Xun never forced him to eat something he find remorseful when he was revived from the dead.

"As long as it's your money being wasted, then sure."

Walking through the bustling streets of Yiling, Wei Ying couldn't help but reminisce the time where they still weren't found by Sect Leader Jiang.

"Here." He says before plopping a slice of apple pie to Xue Yang's hands.

"I don't know if you're provoking me or not." Xue Yang mutters as he stares grimly at the piping hot of pie in his bare hands.

"Give it to me then if you don't want it. Too bad, its gege's favorite and the food he gave me when we first met."

As Wei Ying was about to take the food, Xue Yang immediately turns his back and speedily munched the pie.

Wei saying simply huffs in amusement, "Slow down you dumb brat."

The only thing that Xue Yang could do was to follow what the older was saying. Despite the stale and bland taste of pie opposite to what it looks against his stiff mouth, he couldn't help but imagine the taste.

He imagines it was sweet, warm, and tasty. With the right crunch from the sweet apples and the floury smell of baked dough along it, and to the right consistency of the sauce in the middle.

He imagines it all.

Because it was all he could do.

"Hey, can you buy more?" He hesitantly asks, making Wei Ying blink dumbly for a while before laughing like a fool.

"Of course of course! Anything for my dear bratty youngest shidi."

There was a wince that came from the younger as he looks in disgust, "I'll wring your neck! Who the hell are you calling youngest shidi you damn muttㅡ"

A boisterous laugh came from Wei Ying, making Xue Yang stop in his words as he stared at the laughing fool.

Though in a way, he's glad that the older is finally laughing so freely.

"Do your best to reach my neck then."

If Xue Yang still had a beating heart, it would thump angrily against his chest and he would also hit his chest angrily in retaliation due to stress.

Ah really, who is the child between the two of them?

Instead of wringing his neck like he said, Xue Yang simply kicked Wei Ying's kneecaps as he triumphs in success.

"Hey! That's cheating you brat!"

Xue Yang simply rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue before munching at the newly acquired apple pie.

Wei Ying couldn't help but see the grimace that flickered across Xue Yang's stiff face as he gobbled up the apple pie.

Just then, a thought came to the older's mind.

"What if I knock a nail in your head?"

That question was supposed to be a harmless one. But to Xue Yang, he's sure that he would have a seizure from the fear in whatever nonsense the older was saying.

"What if I hit you with a hammer instead you damn mutt?"

Wei Ying blinks again before huffing and wheezing at the sentence.

"Aiya, I don't mean you excessive harm, brat. I meant that I wanted to hit some right nerves to bring back your olfactory sense and for your taste buds to function."

Those rambles from the older caught Xue Yang off guard. For a while, he thought it was all gibberish for the man to bring back something like that.

But then again, he was revived from the dead.

"Can you atleast tell it in the less creepy way as possible?"

Wei Ying cackles like a madman, "You're the one to talk! You're the epitome of creepy itself."

Xue Yang frowned before trying to kick the older's kneecaps but Wei Ying avoided it. Instead, he didn't see the slap that came from the younger then.

Double kill.

Before Wei Ying could yell profanities at the audacity of the younger, Xue Yang once again turned his back away and started walking.

Wei Ying could hear him talk in a small voice, "Let's go back to the Burial Mounds then."

Oh, so Xue Yang wishes for it too.

Just the thought of it brought a sense of joy and relief to Wei Ying.

"Yes of course! The great and mighty me shall bring back your sense of taste and make you enjoy your love for sweets!" Wei Ying says with pride, making Xue Yang shook his head and sighs.

From afar, a figure watches them with a blank look. A simple memory fluttered across.

"...Great...and mighty...huh..."
