The Scum is A ***

16: The Scum Is A Pervert

"Spiritual Awakening, as its name implied, is awakening your spirit. However, since we are humans, it is our soul." Chen Jing started. "Soul is also a form of spirit."

"So, the spirit in our jade pendant – " Fei Yin said and looked at his jade pendant that has a spirit sleeping inside.

Chen Jing nodded. "When they develop their consciousness, their spirit will awaken." He said. "It was you who are controlling your sword and using your power. But, if the spirit of your sword will awaken, it can mobilize the sword itself. That way and your power will not be consumed too much." He explained. "However, there's a big difference between the spirit of the objects and the soul of the humans." He said, his face serious. "One is their form. The spirit only has spiritual body while the humans have our own physical body." He said. "The second is the soul and spirit. The spirit has no attachments since they only have a spiritual body. However, the humans have a physical body." He looked at Fei Yin. "One the soul was awakened, the body will have a big transformation." He told him.

Fei Yin's brows knit. "That's why he screamed – " he said, his heart pounded loudly when he remembered the heart-wrenching scream of Cheng Sheng. He closed his eyes tight.

Chen Jing nodded, then looked away. He could clearly see the pain in Fei Yin's eyes. He knew, Cheng Sheng have suffered. He balled his fists. "There is only one problem." He said after a while.

"What is it?" Fei Yin asked and wiped his tears that're falling non-stop.

"... I don't know the process of Spiritual Awakening." Chen Jing answered, his face serious. Fei Yin looked at him. He sighed. "Even if this is dangerous, this isn't a demonic cultivation." He said. "This doesn't involve demonic energy. But – " he looked at Fei Yin. " – this is also a taboo in the cultivation world." He told him. "One, because its process is unknown. Two – " he raised his fingers. " – since this is really dangerous. Even in the Righteous Way, there are dangers. The Righteous Way isn't also a safe path. And can even be more dangerous, more dangerous than the demonic path." He said and rose from his seat. "I want to tell you that there are no shortcuts in cultivation, though I know you don't do that. And, like you – " he looked at Fei Yin. " – I also want you to not misunderstand my son. That's all." He said and smiled. "I hope you could look after Sheng-er more. I'll leave him in your hands – his da shixiong." He said and walked to the door. "And, please, next time, don't leave the door open. I might suddenly see you kissing or undressing my son – hahahaha." He laughed when he saw Fei Yin's face went red. He then closed the door and left.

Fei Yin sighed and looked at Cheng Sheng. A smile formed on his lips. "You are saying you are not related to them, but see. You are like him. Very similar." He said and put his elbow on the bed. Then, he rested his jaw on his palm. He stared at Cheng Sheng. "Shidi..." he called. "When will you wake up?" he asked, his voice quiet. "Everyone is waiting for you." He told him. He touched his forehead, then saw the qi from his finger came out and went through Cheng Sheng's skin. Fei Yin's face became serious as he looked at his hand. "Shidi..." he called. This cultivation the man forced through Cheng Sheng is strange. Or is it that this is one of that cultivation's effect? He thought. But, Chen Qing said earlier – his body froze. He looked at Cheng Sheng, then his hand. "Wait – " he said and touched Cheng Sheng. His qi was sucked. His brows knit. "The Chen patriarch and I were talking. The Chen patriarch would tell me if something is wrong with shidi. So, why – " he said, then his eyes widened. He rose from his seat and looked around. Then, he immediately erected a barrier around Cheng Sheng's room. Cheng Sheng's body is undergoing a strange transformation right now. His body started absorbing qi like the jade talisman he always makes. Why? That man didn't tell him this would happen – he thought, puzzled.

Somewhere, the black-robed man sneezed. "Eew!" the young man before him frowned and moved away.

The man in the black robes rubbed his nose. "Who's talking bad about me?" he asked, puzzled.
