The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Extra: The Ultimate Showdown between Bing-Mei and Bing-Ge 2

The next morning, the first person to open his eyes was Luo Binghe .

His pale face had regained some color, and he looked much better than the night before . On the contrary, Shen Qingqiu, who was still spirited before he slept, had woken up in a state of grogginess still hugging Luo Binghe; he looked exhausted .

Shen Qingqiu had been imparting spiritual energy to Luo Binghe the whole night, never stopping until he eventually fell asleep in a daze .

Luo Binghe’s eyelashes slowly fluttered open . He gazed at Shen Qingqiu with a complicated expression for a moment before he extended his hand to move Shen Qingqiu’s arm away .

His action startled Shen Qingqiu awake, and Luo Binghe took the chance to get out of bed .

Shen Qingqiu was puzzled . Luo Binghe would not budge no matter how he tried to kick him off previously, but today, he actually took the initiative to get up?

He pinched the bridge of his nose and frowned . “Why are you up so early in the morning? Making breakfast? Don’t do it today . ”

He noticed that Luo Binghe was only wearing a thin, inner shirt with his collars opened . The crisscrossed wounds had started to mend, leaving behind only faint traces . Shen Qingqiu reckoned that he would be completely healed by the end of the day . However, a small patch of his chest was still exposed to the elements . The robe he wore last night was no longer wearable, so Shen Qingqiu prompted him, “Your old clothes are still in the side room . Yingying and the rest left them the way they were . ”

Luo Binghe sidestepped the screen1 and made his way to the side room .

His own little world came into view, completed with desks, chairs, beds, and cabinets made of bamboo . Everything was spotless . There was even a small desk at the head of his bed . The scrolls were arranged in perfect order, and brushes of various colors were organized by color and length . He opened the cupboard door and saw a neat stack of white clothes inside . There was also a variety of fine-grade jade pendants hanging at the top .

During the time Luo Binghe was in the side room, Shen Qingqiu slowly sat up from the bed . He rubbed his temples as he swept his gaze around to search for his boots .

He had slept so badly last night he was really annoyed now!

He was always in a dream! Dreaming and dreaming and dreaming and dreaming!

Even the humiliating black history of going to Shuanghu City to eliminate the Skinner had appeared in his dreams! And oh, he even dreamed of dreaming in his dreams!

Everything from the Immortal Alliance Conference to Jinlan City to Hua Yue City to the Holy Mausoleum all flashed by in his dreams like a revolving lantern2 . There were even dreams of the moments where he was bashed up, where he vomited blood, where grasses grew over his body…

His brain was going to explode after having so many dreams in a night!

It had to be because he was imparting spiritual energy to Luo Binghe while sleeping . If his mind was unstable, the person sleeping near him would also suffer .

By this time, Luo Binghe was done dressing and walked out of the side room . Shen Qingqiu still had not found his boots, so he simply gave up . He beckoned Luo Binghe over, and when the latter walked over to the side of the bed, Shen Qingqiu moved to pull him down .

Luo Binghe did not move, but asked with a frown, “What are you doing?”

Shen Qingqiu took out a hair ribbon and a wooden comb from under the pillow and replied, “What do you think I’m doing?”

Only then did Luo Binghe obediently seated himself down in front of Shen Qingqiu, looking around and sizing up the bamboo dwelling . Shen Qingqiu leisurely asked as he combed Luo Binghe’s hair . “What are you looking at?”

Luo Binghe’s eyes were still sharp and cool, but his tone softened as he said, “I was always in a hurry every time I return to Qing Jing Peak these past few years, so I never had the chance to take a good look . ”

Shen Qingqiu held the ribbon in his mouth for a brief moment as he stealthily and mischievously tied a little braid for him . He said, “Then look all you want these days . I’ll make a trip to Bai Zhan Peak later and get Liu Qingge to keep a tighter rein on his disciples . There is absolutely no reason for Qing Jing Peak’s disciples to be chased around, getting clobbered by Bai Zhan Peak . ”

After a momentary pause, Luo Binghe slowly turned his head back . He smiled at Shen Qingqiu, and sweetly called out to him, “Shizun?”

“Hmm?”

“Shizun . ”

“Hmm . ”

It was as if he had never tried calling Shen Qingqiu in such a way . He called out several times in a row and got a response every time . The more he called, the more addicted he became . Until Shen Qingqiu eventually could not endure it and grabbed his folding fan to smack the back of Luo Binghe’s head . “What are you calling me for? Just call once . Talk properly . ”

Having received a blow on the back of his head, Luo Binghe’s face darkened, but he quickly composed himself . He smiled vaguely and shifted his gaze aside, asking, “Did Shizun sleep badly last night?”

How can I sleep well when I’m holding you in an embrace?

Shen Qingqiu replied in a light tone . “Just some dreams of the past . ”

Luo Binghe said, “Then, how about I hug you to sleep the next time?”

Such words came so easily to him . Shen Qingqiu completed his task and patted Luo Binghe’s head before he pushed him out of bed . “Go . Go . ”

Shen Qingqiu went to Bai Zhan Peak as promised .

He was a familiar face there and knew his way around, so he did not even need a visitation card3 to send notice of his visit . He tidied his appearance and left after taking a couple of mouthfuls of the congee that Ming Fan had served up . Luo Binghe was made to remain in the bamboo house with the instruction to “obediently wait for this master’s return . ” But how would he be really willing to comply and wait?

The moment he opened the door, he saw a petite figure in orange skipping towards him . Luo Binghe took a closer look, then beamed and called out, “Yingying . ”

Who would have expected Ning Yingying to shiver and turn pale with fright? “Ah Luo! What’s wrong with you? Did you hurt your head?! Why did you call me that?! What in the world is Yingying, that’s so scary!”

Luo Binghe, “……”

Ning Yingying’s face was still full of horror . “Why aren’t you calling me Ning-shijie?!”

Luo Binghe, “……Ning-shijie . ”

This “shijie” was said through clenched teeth, yet Ning Yingying heaved a sigh of relief . Patting her bosom, she lectured him . “This is how it should be . It’s so unlike you to suddenly change the way you address me . Shizun may dote on you, but you must always be careful to show and pay respect to your seniors . Only then will we retain the dignity of our Qing Jing Peak’s disciples, and the teachings of Shizun will not be in vain . ”

The veins stood out of Luo Binghe’s head as he listened . Losing his patience, he cut her off . “I have something to ask you . ”

A look of understanding came over Ning Yingying’s face .

With a wave of her hand, she solemnly handed the duster and broom over into Luo Binghe’s hands .

She said, “Shijie knows . Here . ”

Luo Binghe, “……”

Ning Yingying said with sincerity, “Ah Luo, please don’t mind me . I’m aware that you have always wanted to tidy up Shizun’s abode on your own . However, you and Shizun have been gone for so many days so Dashixiong4 and I could only stand in for you first . But since you are back, I’ll leave the tasks to you . Shijie will not fight with you for the duties . Shijie knows this much . ”

……

The hell you know!

Luo Binghe turned around and made his way to Xian Shu Peak .

The disciples of Xian Shu Peak had always welcomed him—regardless of where they were .

In the past, Shen Qingqiu had often ordered Luo Binghe about and sent him on numerous errands . He was thus a regular face at Xian Shu Peak . From time to time, he would go over to deliver a message, request someone’s presence, or borrow something .

The male disciples from the other peaks would more or less sneak around whenever they came to Xian Shu Peak; they would peer here and there until they peeked into the beautiful fairies’ chambers and even the bathhouse . But of course, they did not even make it to the bathhouse before they were 【beep——】 to death by the beautiful fairies’ flustered array of swords . Only Luo Binghe would treat them with due respect and maintain his distance from them whenever he came to their Peak, so he came to be quite highly regarded among those in Xian Shu Peak . As such, he was given access and allowed to wait in the inner hall at Xian Shu Peak .
