A Xianxia Novel: The World Where I Belong (BL)

Chapter 15- "Why not just accept me?"

When Shen Xi Meng entered the secret realm with the others, they were all transported to another place.

In front of them was a forest filled with mist. Shen Xi Meng glanced at his surroundings, making sure that there are no dangers near them.

"Blood grass!" Xui Huahua exclaims as she saw a blood grass a few meters away. She excitedly ran and plucked the blood grass out of the ground.

Blood grasses are a type of herb that can be used to treat small wounds efficiently leaving no scars behind. After applying it to the wound, it'll heal in less than 10 minutes! One has to know, a few ounces of blood grass is extremely rare in the outside world!

Then, another fellow martial brother called out, "Isn't that a sky rank fruit?!"

Shen Xi Meng watched quietly on the side. Unlike the others, he was a lot calmer when facing all different kinds of treasures at their feet.

Shen Xi Meng looks over at Qing Yuan and said, "Lead the way to the heaven rank weapon."

He was only here for the mission and that was to acquire the heaven rank weapon. Of course, with such a weapon at a high level comes with lots of dangers.

In return of Tian Shan Sect getting hold of this weapon, the Zhi household will also get lots of benefits from Tian Shan Sect and it will not be a loss for them.

Qing Yuan smiles lightly. Leading the way for Shen Xi Meng and the others is naturally easy for him. After all, he did acquire the memories from the dead "Zhi Qiang" before he came here.

But, upon recalling those memories, Qing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. In the beginning, Master Zhi never intended Tian Shan Sect to get hold of the heaven rank weapon. Master Zhi plans to use the people from Tian Shan Sect to get the weapon from the realm filled with dangers and once they get it, he'll dispose of them.

"Senior brother Shen. We're not in a hurry. Why don't we stay here a while before we go get that heaven rank weapon?" Xui Huahua said as she blinks her round adorable eyes at Shen Xi Meng, trying to act cute so he would agree.

Shen Xi Meng didn't even give her a glance, "If you want to stay here longer, do as you wish."

"Go." With one word from Shen Xi Meng, Qing Yuan nodded in agreement and began to lead the way. The other two martial brothers look at each other. In the end, they decided to follow after Shen Xi Meng.

Xui Huahua harrumph. Her idea isn't so bad. Why are they in such a hurry?!

Once the others went a certain distance, the mist covered their figures and Xui Huahua couldn't see them anymore. Still fuming with anger, she squatted down to continue harvesting high-quality herbs and plants.

But before her fingers can reach the plant, a faint light flashes across her neck. A second later, her head fell to the ground and roll near her feet. Huge amount of blood spurted before her body fell to the ground, dyeing the soil red. Even until her last moment, she didn't know what happened.

Next to her corpse, Zhi Qiang smiles faintly. But, that kind of smile only makes one shudder. He sheathed back his sword and looked towards the direction of where Shen Xi Meng and the others went. His eyes deep, full of thought.

The image of Shen Xi Meng's appearance flashed in his mind. He chuckled lowly, "Interesting."

Meanwhile, Shen Xi Meng had no clue that he was already being targeted by someone. He continued following after Qing Yuan. Suddenly, Qing Yuan stopped. His eyebrows raised slightly as he listened to the wind.

Shen Xi Meng and the others also stopped. Shen Xi Meng asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nature calls." Qing Yuan replied.

"...." Shen Xi Meng looks the other way while blushing slightly. "Go!"

Qing Yuan was amused with Shen Xi Meng's reaction and walked away in a good mood.

"Senior brother Shen, while we wait for him to finish, should we harvest as much as we can right now of the herbs in the surrounding?"

Shen Xi Meng nodded.

Qing Yuan took a while. As they harvest all precious herbs and plants around them while waiting for Qing Yuan to come back, half an hour had already passed.

Liu Han was getting impatient. "Why is he taking so long? Just how big is his shit?"

The guy next to him laughed. "Big enough to drown in them...Oh! Look, he's back."

Upon hearing that, Shen Xi Meng turned around to look at where his junior brother pointed.

The man they were all waiting for came back. But, to Shen Xi Meng, he felt something was off. The man's aura seems to differ compared to before. Before, the person was gentle. Now, why does it seem to be a little...cold?

Shen Xi Meng looks into the other person's eyes. In the instant that he looks at that pair of handsome cold eyes that also glance back at him, he unconsciously wanted to look away.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Xi Meng tried to remain as calm as possible. "What took you so long?"

The man stopped in front of Shen Xi Meng as he replied back with a smile on his face, "Encountered a beast along the way."

Without hesitation, Shen Xi Meng unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the man. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The man's eyes darkened. "Zhi Qiang."

"Senior brother Shen?" The other two didn't know what was happening. Why did senior brother Shen points his sword at young master Zhi?

"You're not him." Shen Xi Meng ignored his two martial brothers questioning look as he continued to question Zhi Qiang. "Where is he?"

Zhi Qiang wasn't scared one bit from Shen Xi Meng's threatening look. "Why are you so sure I'm not Zhi Qiang?"

Why? Because Shen Xi Meng couldn't feel that sense of familiarity from this man's body. With Qing Yuan, he could always feel it.

Shen Xi Meng didn't answer Zhi Qiang but, Zhi Qiang wasn't mad. "True, I'm not him. But..."

Zhi Qiang grabbed Shen Xi Meng's sword with his bare hand. Even as blood gushes out of the wound, he didn't flinch. He moved closer to Shen Xi Meng's ear and whispered seductively.

"He's not the Zhi Qiang you needed in this realm. Since I'm the one you need in order to be able to accomplish your mission, why not just accept me hmm?"
