Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

The next day, following the plan, Yun Fei Xue went to flatter Shu Shuangyu.

Meanwhile, Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun set out for the Demon Domain.

“This world may not have airplanes, but it has flying boats, which are quite similar in function,” Pei Cun stood on the flying boat, looking at the floating clouds beside him, and said with a smile.

Lin Hanchuan stood behind Pei Cun and also looked at the floating clouds. “Flying boats provide a better environment than airplanes.”

On an airplane, how could one have such a wide view as standing on the clouds?

The two systems watched them appreciating the scenery, feeling puzzled and unable to understand: [“A major battle is imminent, why can these two humans still enjoy the scenery leisurely? It’s like they are on vacation.”]

Before Shu Shuangyu, they had dealt with another system – the cannon fodder counterattack system on Cheng Ding Chen’s body.

In that battle, Pei Cun and 007 were almost killed.

Both 001 and 007 had left some sequelae. This time, they felt a bit nervous, but surprisingly, the two supposedly more emotional humans seemed fine.

Feeling 001’s emotions, Lin Hanchuan chuckled and reached out to pick up a bun-shaped cloud, playing with it in his hand. “In the previous world, it was an ordinary technological world with no special abilities. Moreover, the system had already left Cheng Ding Chen’s body. Once it escapes from the world, there is no way to catch it again…”

With various factors stacking up, Pei Cun had to resort to this plan to protect that world and to protect Lin Hanchuan.

However, this world was a cultivation world, and the enemies were clear while they were in the dark. Shu Shuangyu and his system were completely unaware.

As long as they seize the opportunity and set up traps before the system leaves Shu Shuangyu’s body, they can lure the system into the trap… With the terrifying attack power of these cultivators, Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun might not even need to take action.

001, being held in Lin Hanchuan’s hand, suddenly realized, [“I see.”]

Though squeezed into a different shape, 001 still maintained a solemn appearance.

With their system’s cheating ability, Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun quickly found Jing Guanying.

Unlike Yun Fei Xue’s otherworldly beauty, Jing Guanying was a handsome and unrestrained man, wearing a dark purple robe, half reclining on a large throne, bare-chested, and holding a bottle of wine with intoxicated eyes.

“Tsk,” Pei Cun sneered lightly, “With such an attitude of desiring beauty over power, isn’t anyone plotting against him?”

Lin Hanchuan calmly covered Pei Cun’s eyes. “In the Demon Domain, strength is revered. As long as no one can defeat him, he remains the Demon Lord.”

While they were talking, Jing Guanying suddenly sat upright, and his eyes instantly became clear and sharp. “Who’s there?!”

Under his imposing aura, the dancing maids all weakened and prostrated, and the once endless mellifluous music ceased instantly, leaving the surroundings in complete silence within a few seconds.

“Truly worthy of the Demon Lord title,” Lin Hanchuan walked out from the air, looking completely at ease, as if he had returned to his own home, and even applauded casually.

Jing Guanying’s face darkened, squinting his eyes as he looked at Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun. “Who are you?”

Lin Hanchuan arched his hand with indifference and said, “Perhaps the Demon Lord still remembers Shu Shuangyu?”

Jing Guanying’s pupils contracted. Ten years had passed, but mentioning that name still caused a sudden pain in his heart.

His eyes became more vigilant, and he stared at Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun, unmoving. “He’s been dead for ten years. Are you here to ask for his body?”

“What if I say he’s still alive?”

After a long silence, Jing Guanying dismissed all his subordinates and maids, leaving only the three of them in the previously lively banquet hall. His eyes were sinister, and a murderous intent filled the air. “If I find out you’re playing tricks on me, I’ll take your lives!”

Jing Guanying had been the Demon Lord for hundreds of years, and he was accustomed to being decisive and acting as he pleased. In his life, everyone else was just insignificant lackeys, except for Shu Shuangyu…

When Jing Guanying first met Shu Shuangyu, he was traveling incognito in the mortal world and happened to encounter this honest and somewhat pedantic junior disciple.

Initially, Jing Guanying treated this journey as a pastime, but unexpectedly, he found himself falling in love as time went by.

Having lived a carefree life for nearly a thousand years, this was the first time he was moved, and the object of his affections was a righteous junior cultivator… Jing Guanying initially did not think much of Shu Shuangyu’s sect and considered it a third-rate minor sect.

Jing Guanying loved Shu Shuangyu dearly. Regardless of what treasures he obtained, he would present them to Shu Shuangyu first. Due to Shu Shuangyu’s words, Jing Guanying refrained from wanton killings. He even refrained from revealing his proud identity as the Demon Lord.

Later, as their feelings deepened and they promised to be together for life, Jing Guanying finally learned that Shu Shuangyu was the closed-door disciple of the top swordsman, Yun Fei Xue.

Righteous path and demonic path, prestigious sects and demon lords, there was an insurmountable gulf between them.

Originally, Jing Guanying thought that if Shu Shuangyu refused, he would simply snatch him and bring him to the Demon Palace. Since they understood each other so well, he believed that over time, he could obtain forgiveness and achieve a happy ending.

“Yun Fei Xue personally executed Shu Shuangyu. Tell me, is he still alive?” Jing Guanying looked at Lin Hanchuan with a dark gaze, as if he had returned to ten years ago.

Shu Shuangyu had opened his mouth to plan their elopement, and Jing Guanying happily waited near the Lingyun Sect. However, he received the news of Shu Shuangyu’s death.

The cold and merciless Yun Fei Xue, upon learning about the affair between his little disciple and the Demon Lord, heartlessly killed his disciple!

In a state of madness, Jing Guanying attacked the Lingyun Sect’s protective array for ten full days, but he couldn’t lure Yun Fei Xue out, nor did he even see Shu Shuangyu’s body.

“You think Yun Fei Xue killed Shu Shuangyu?” Lin Hanchuan chuckled lightly and said calmly, “Perhaps, from another perspective, the Demon Lord might get a new story.”

Jing Guanying’s eyes turned red, and his anger remained unabated. “What do you mean?”

Lin Hanchuan then told a story—a story of a deceitful lover.

Upon hearing the story, Jing Guanying didn’t know what expression to make. Even when he stood on the Lingyun Sect’s grounds, he remained skeptical, and even regretful. Could this be a trap set by the Lingyun Sect?

Before coming back, Lin Hanchuan had already informed Yun Fei Xue and the Lingyun Sect’s Master. The leaders of the righteous path and the demonic realm were in the same space, and the atmosphere was tense.

“I’ve told you everything,” Lin Hanchuan sat at the head of the group, exuding an imposing aura not weaker than anyone else.

Jing Guanying’s gaze remained fixed on Yun Fei Xue, the man in white with white hair.

In these ten years, Yun Fei Xue had secluded himself, and who would have known that when they saw each other again, he would be in this state?

“Friend Lin, the array you requested is half set up,” the Lingyun Sect’s Master said dryly, glancing at Yun Fei Xue and Jing Guanying alternately.

Yun Fei Xue spoke calmly, “Jing Guanying, it’s your turn to see him.”

In the past few days, Shu Shuangyu had been fawning over Yun Fei Xue, and if he didn’t know the truth, Yun Fei Xue might have believed it. However, while Shu Shuangyu gives eager flattery, he was also silently cursing and mocking Yun Fei Xue in his heart.

If it weren’t for the fact that the person before him was Shu Shuangyu, the person he had loved for decades, Yun Fei Xue might have found it somewhat amusing. But now, he only felt mentally exhausted.

However, there were also some benefits to the situation. Perhaps because he knew the true identity of the other person, Yun Fei Xue’s shattered ruthless Dao heart showed signs of repair.

A stranger might try to deceive him, but Jing Guanying was the person who understood Yun Fei Xue the most. He knew that Yun Fei Xue was straightforward and never told lies.

“Good,” Jing Guanying agreed with a glimmer of hope, agreeing to see Shu Shuangyu’s request.

Before seeing him with his own eyes, Jing Guanying couldn’t believe that he, the leader of evil for nearly a thousand years, could be fooled by a seemingly insignificant little thing.

Despite his powerful cultivation as a Demon Lord, Jing Guanying chose to walk step by step and arrived at Shu Shuangyu’s doorstep.

He stood in front of the door for an unknown amount of time when suddenly, the door opened, and the person inside came face to face with Jing Guanying.

“Yu’er… It’s really you.” Jing Guanying murmured, not knowing what emotions were swirling inside him.

[Damn, why is Jing Guanying here!] Shu Shuangyu panicked and asked the system, [What do we do if he meets Yun Fei Xue?]

Jing Guanying carefully observed Shu Shuangyu’s evasive eyes and continued, “Yu’er, you’re not dead?”

[Hurry and get rid of him. Where is Yun Fei Xue now?] Shu Shuangyu forced a smile and quickly sent a message to the system, [Once Yun Fei Xue shows any sign of returning, notify me immediately.]

The next moment, Jing Guanying was pulled into the room.

Two former lovers met again, and tears welled up in Shu Shuangyu’s eyes. “Jing Guanying, you’re still alive!”

Jing Guanying looked at Shu Shuangyu and gently touched his cheek, saying slowly, “You’re alive, so how could I be dead?”

“I’ve been confined here by my master and not allowed to leave. It’s been ten years, and my master told me that you… you…” Shu Shuangyu’s mind raced as he tried to figure out how to deceive Jing Guanying and make him leave.

Jing Guanying’s eyes turned red, but as Shu Shuangyu kept his head down, he didn’t see anything and continued to speak in a pitiful manner, expressing how much he missed Jing Guanying and how miserable his life had been for the past ten years.

“Good, very good. Jing Guanying has never been deceived so miserably,” Jing Guanying’s tone was fierce and full of killing intent. “Yu’er, how do you think I should punish him?”

For some reason, Shu Shuangyu suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He forced a dry laugh and said in his heart, [He’s my master after all. Please don’t hurt him…]

As if he hadn’t heard Shu Shuangyu’s plea, Jing Guanying continued, “I’ll throw him into the poisonous pit and use him as my test subject, unable to live or die. Yu’er, what do you think of this method?”

Test subject… Shu Shuangyu’s face changed slightly. Wasn’t this the term he used to deceive Yun Fei Xue?

“Or…” Jing Guanying held Shu Shuangyu’s face and said affectionately, “I’ll crush all his bones, throw him into a water dungeon, let him be bitten by snakes, worms, and ants, with rats eating his flesh daily…”

[Damn, has Jing Guanying gone mad?] Shu Shuangyu wanted to break free, but no matter how hard he struggled, Jing Guanying’s hands were like iron tongs, unmoving.

This eerie feeling reminded Shu Shuangyu of Xia Zuo from the previous world. He couldn’t help but regret, [I shouldn’t have provoked these antagonists. They are inherently twisted, naturally evil, and even more difficult to deal with after being corrupted…]

As Shu Shuangyu was complaining to the system, he felt Jing Guanying’s hands tightening more and more. He gradually struggled to breathe, “Jing, Guanying… Let go… me… help…”

But their strengths were worlds apart. No matter how hard Shu Shuangyu struggled, he couldn’t even leave a nail mark on the other person. His complexion became increasingly bluish-purple, and his movements weaker.

[Observing the host’s life-threatening situation, preparing to exit… 1…]

Just when he thought he was going to die in Jing Guanying’s hands, the latter suddenly let go. Shu Shuangyu retreated in horror, coughing uncontrollably, and for the first time, he realized how precious fresh air was.

“Sorry, I lost control,” Jing Guanying stood several steps away, half-heartedly apologizing. “My temper has become much worse since you left.”
