Scum Gong Walks the Career Line in the Crematorium

The last chapter…

Since Jing Guanying appeared, Shu Shuangyu felt that it would be best to complete the mission and leave as soon as possible. However, after Jing Guanying left, a sudden war broke out between the righteous path and the demonic realm, and everyone was busy, especially Yun Fei Xue, who never showed up again.

[I can’t see Yun Fei Xue, and Jing Guanying doesn’t come to see me either. How am I supposed to complete the mission?] Shu Shuangyu anxiously gnawed on his nails, his right hand unconsciously touching his neck, where a bruise still remained.

[Please be patient and wait.] The system comforted dispassionately.

[Wait, wait. How much longer do I have to wait?] Since he returned, Shu Shuangyu had been kept half-restricted in this residence, for fear that he would get into trouble again. If he took a step outside, someone would come and persuade him to return, not to make Yun Fei Xue worried.

To maintain his image as an obedient disciple, Shu Shuangyu couldn’t even leave forcibly and could only remain in place, unable to leave.

As he was raging with frustration inside, Shu Shuangyu heard footsteps outside the door. He was delighted and quickly went to open it, saying, “Master…”

Upon opening the door, he was surprised to see Jing Guanying!

Subconsciously, Shu Shuangyu stepped back several steps, his face turning pale. “How did you come here? Aren’t you at war?”

“Yes,” Jing Guanying smiled, showing no sign of the crazy appearance when he almost strangled Shu Shuangyu a few days ago. “I waged war with Lingyun Sect for you. Are you happy?”

“I, I’m happy? What do I have to be happy about?” As he saw Jing Guanying approaching closer and closer, Shu Shuangyu stammered, “Lingyun Sect has raised me for many years, and you are the person I love the most. How could I be happy seeing you fighting each other?”

“You’re not happy?” Jing Guanying pretended to be surprised. “Then if I killed Yun Fei Xue, would you be happy?”

[If you kill Yun Fei Xue, how can I complete the mission!] Shu Shuangyu almost went crazy. Since he was pulled back into this small world, nothing had gone his way.

In the previous world, Lu Xiu ignored him, and Xia Zuo treated him as a guinea pig. In this world, he had only seen Yun Fei Xue a few days ago, but the progress of his strategy didn’t increase at all. Moreover, Jing Guanying had become so thoroughly corrupted.

[System, can I skip this world? Jing Guanying has completely lost it. Let this world be destroyed; I don’t care. I just want to get away from him…]

[Currently, the favorability of the characters being pursued toward you has not changed, and the possibility of being pursued still exists. Please continue to work hard, host.]

Upon hearing the system’s reply, Shu Shuangyu’s face twisted. He regretted it so much; perhaps he should never have bound to this system.

Amidst his panic and regret, Yun Fei Xue pushed the door open and entered. He saw the ambiguous postures of Jing Guanying and Shu Shuangyu, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.

In that fleeting moment, countless thoughts flashed through Shu Shuangyu’s mind. Finally, he looked at Yun Fei Xue and shouted in alarm, “Master, save me! The Demon Lord wants to use me to threaten you!”

After the words fell, both Yun Fei Xue and Jing Guanying froze.

Ignoring the need to pursue Jing Guanying any further, Shu Shuangyu just wanted to get away from this lunatic. As he continued to exaggerate and add to the story, Jing Guanying burst into laughter. He patted Shu Shuangyu’s cheek with a leisurely demeanor, saying, “Yu’er, you are just too adorable.”

Yun Fei Xue glanced at them indifferently. “Enough playing around, the formation is already set.”

Jing Guanying wiped away the tears of laughter and walked calmly to Yun Fei Xue’s side. “Let’s go.”

Seeing them getting along so well, a lump formed in Shu Shuangyu’s heart. He knew something unexpected had happened. He struggled to force a smile and said, “Master?”

“Don’t call him that,” Jing Guanying gestured, and invisible spiritual power instantly bound Shu Shuangyu, dragging him forward. “If you don’t see him as your master, then don’t call him that. If you don’t like it, he won’t either.”

[System… System.] Shu Shuangyu’s mind was in chaos as he desperately called for his golden finger. [System, I want to leave this world!]

Why were they getting along peacefully? Why did they seem so familiar with each other? Where were they taking him? What had happened? Countless questions filled his mind, and Shu Shuangyu trembled with fear.

In the past, Shu Shuangyu treated all worlds as game worlds. He laughed and cursed in the game worlds and freely pursued characters without any harm.

Even if there were any harm, he had the system, his golden finger, which ensured that nothing would go wrong…

But now, those ‘characters’ suddenly lost control, and the golden finger no longer responded. Shu Shuangyu finally experienced real fear.

Dazed and confused, Shu Shuangyu was dragged to a place where a few other people seemed to be present. He looked around blankly, and his pupils suddenly contracted. “Lin Hanchuan?!”

Lin Hanchuan glanced at him with little reaction.

On the other hand, Jing Guanying, with a curious expression, asked, “So, you know each other, Fellow Daoist Lin?”

“How I know him is the same way you know him,” Lin Hanchuan checked the formation while answering casually.

At that moment, the others present suddenly realized.

Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun didn’t fit into this world, and the others had long suspected that they weren’t native to this realm. They had just never understood why Lin Hanchuan was helping this world.

If he had a private grudge with Shu Shuangyu, it would be understandable.

However, the other two cultivators present were all victims of Shu Shuangyu. Nobody asked any further questions and simply trusted Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun a little more.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and this saying holds true everywhere.

As they observed their interaction, Shu Shuangyu suddenly had a realization. “It’s you! It’s you, isn’t it? You’ve been following me all along, sabotaging my progress, Lin Hanchuan, what did I do to offend you?”

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became. “Among everyone, I love you the most. I only love you. Yet, you still betrayed me like this, Lin Hanchuan, you scum!”

Although everyone present already knew Shu Shuangyu’s true nature, they were all taken aback by his sudden outburst. Pei Cun couldn’t be bothered to say anything more and stepped forward, slapping him hard. “Shut up! How dare you even call his name!”

Shu Shuangyu’s face instantly swelled up, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. He wanted to rage, but he was afraid of getting beaten again. He could only cast his gaze upon Yun Fei Xue and Jing Guanying, the two people who had been kindest to him in the past.

Yun Fei Xue remained impassive, but Jing Guanying’s face lit up with excitement, as if he couldn’t wait for Pei Cun to hit Shu Shuangyu again.

Shu Shuangyu’s heart sank; he knew that the mission in this world had failed.

[System, I want to leave this world! I want to leave immediately!]

The system remained silent.

Shu Shuangyu panicked. The system had not responded to him since earlier…

In the small world, Shu Shuangyu was sure he wouldn’t die, but now that the system hadn’t appeared, his legs turned weak, and he sat down on the ground, continuously pleading in his heart, [System, please, I can’t complete the mission in this world. Let me leave, I won’t play anymore, I really won’t play anymore…]

“This formation is the Heavenly Thunder Formation,” Lin Hanchuan suddenly spoke, “It’s the heavenly thunder used by cultivators during their tribulations, carrying the power of the heavens. It can incinerate any foreign viruses and bugs.”

What does that mean? Jing Guanying raised an eyebrow.

Seemingly explaining it casually, Lin Hanchuan didn’t wait for the others to react. He declared, “Activate the formation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flew from Shu Shuangyu’s head, heading straight for the sky but crashing into an invisible barrier and falling back down heavily.

Finally, Shu Shuangyu’s system revealed its true form.

It was a pale gray spherical object, covered with bumps and looking extremely ugly. The voice it spoke in was the same as the system’s, but more sharp and piercing: “What have you done?!”

“Nothing much, just added a defensive formation,” The Sect Master of Lingyun Sect smiled lightly, keeping his skills hidden.

Lin Hanchuan didn’t waste any time and immediately pressed a button. Tears of light flickered inside the formation, and the pale gray system let out a sharp and miserable scream, “You can’t do this! I am the system, I have everything you need. As long as you release me, I can give you anything!”

“Didn’t you know that villains die because of excessive talking?” Pei Cun sneered, leaning against Lin Hanchuan.

Everyone present watched the formation with lightning and thunder. In the end, even a heavenly thunder descended from the sky, but it didn’t destroy the formation; instead, it appeared within the formation and struck the faint gray system, almost invisible.

At the same time, spiritual energy suddenly descended, evenly dividing among Lin Hanchuan, Yun Fei Xue, and others.

“What is this?” Jing Guanying felt a surge of spiritual energy. His cultivation immediately improved, and he had a clear understanding of his powers.

Yun Fei Xue’s shattered Dao Heart was also partially restored. With proper rest, he might recover completely in less than a hundred years.

Lingyun Sect Master spread his hands and sighed, “This is a gift from the heavens.”

“This thing almost destroyed this world. By eliminating it, we saved the world, so the heavens rewarded us.”

Lin Hanchuan also experienced this extraordinary thing for the first time. Although he didn’t have cultivation, he could feel that he suddenly became much more relaxed.

Suddenly, two little spheres appeared next to them, looking a bit dazed.

Everyone was startled, “What are these ghostly things!”

“Systems, come here,” Pei Cun lazily reached out his hand, and the systems, 001 and 007, scrambled to jump onto his hand. He pinched the two small creatures and said, “These are our systems, good systems.”

“The heavens have acknowledged us. From now on, we can freely enter this world without worrying about being expelled.” 001 happily spun around in Pei Cun’s hand. “And the heavens have given us a lot of energy!”

Shu Shuangyu watched helplessly as his system was destroyed and listened to the discussion of the others. It seemed like he understood something, yet he also seemed to understand nothing. It was only when 001 and 007 appeared that he completely understood.

Shu Shuangyu seemed to have caught something about Pei Cun and exclaimed excitedly, “You also have a system! You all have systems, why did you destroy mine?”

Inside the formation, the lightning gradually subsided, and the ugly gray system was gone, leaving only a white bead on the ground. 001 was the first to enter the formation and immediately swallowed the bead with a howl.

Lin Hanchuan frowned, “What are you eating? What if you upset your stomach?”

001 flew back to Lin Hanchuan’s shoulder contentedly, “This is the energy collected by that bad system. It’s fine to eat it. So much energy, I wonder how many worlds it has destroyed…”

Pei Cun looked at Shu Shuangyu and sneered, “Your system treated you as a tool to seduce and destroy the world while trying to charm the Child of Destiny.”

Before Pei Cun could finish his sentence, he saw the resentful look in Shu Shuangyu’s eyes. Suddenly, Pei Cun felt that he hadn’t spent enough time with Lin Hanchuan. He should not waste words on someone who showed no remorse.

“Deal with this person yourselves,” Pei Cun said directly.

Shu Shuangyu might regret it, but his regrets would only be about getting caught and pulled back into the small world. If he hadn’t paid a price, he would never regret it. He might even brainwash himself and treat everyone as NPCs.

For such a person, Pei Cun had nothing to say and simply handed him over to the victims.

Jing Guanying affectionately lifted the collapsed Shu Shuangyu from the ground and said with a grin, “It’s not easy for you righteous sects to handle this person. Why not leave it to me? I have various means.”

Shu Shuangyu’s face turned pale. He looked at Yun Fei Xue, trying to seek help, “Master, please save me…”

Just as he spoke a few words, Jing Guanying used a sleep spell on him, and Shu Shuangyu fell silent.

Everything was settled. The people present looked at each other, then bowed to each other in agreement.

Jing Guanying carried Shu Shuangyu back to the Demon Realm, and Yun Fei Xue returned to his seclusion to feel the gifts of heaven and restore his Dao Heart. Lingyun Sect Master needed to figure out how to inform the world and make people vigilant against outsiders. Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun returned to their world.

Back on the bustling streets, Lin Hanchuan and Pei Cun didn’t attract any attention.

“What do we do next?” The burden on his mind was removed, and Pei Cun suddenly didn’t know what to do.

“Perhaps… we should get married?” Lin Hanchuan looked at Pei Cun with profound eyes, and his ears turned slightly red.

Pei Cun remained silent for a few seconds. His heart, which was usually as cold as a corpse, suddenly pounded violently. He cleared his throat, “Then let’s get married. After the wedding, we can go on a honeymoon…”

“After the honeymoon, we can visit other worlds and help those small worlds grow and become independent…”

“We can also catch some bad systems. 001 already ate one bead, and 007 hasn’t eaten one yet. They are all our children, and we can’t treat them unequally…”

The two tall men gradually moved away, finally disappearing into the crowd.

However, they both knew that no matter how the world changed, no matter if they had memories or not, no matter what happened, they would always find each other and never be separated.
