Chapter 48: Purple Indignant. Ren Yuan Endless Regret. Shao Cheng Real Situation.
After a few minutes of dashing ahead with the fastest speed he can muster while feeling strangely energetic and powerful the entire, Ren Yuan has finally arrived at where the sound of fighting was currently happening.
And in the split second of passing a rather thick tree that has been blocking the whole scene, Ren Yuan has surprisingly stop-dead over his running after finally seeing the current situation right before his very eyes which have widened in an unbelievable manner, unable to explain the chaotic emotion he is currently feeling in that moment on.
"... W..Whitey?"
Directly before Ren Yuan was a person no longer wearing a white snow robe over his small thin body since it has long been soaked up by the glaringly crimson blood which turned into a blood-red dark robe, while in the back of Ren Yuan mind, he was unable to stop himself from being bothered if those blood mostly belong to the young man.
While in the corner of his eyes, Ren Yuan was able to see a sneaking figure of a single person that has taken his sudden arrival to run away, completely fleeing to save his own life despite the fact that he was finally able to get a glimpse on their target the entire time.
However, Ren Yuan has ignored the person fleeing completely, anyone and everything else doesn't matter to him right now, because he has all his complete absolute attention at the person standing in the far distance.
On his haze eyes, Shao Cheng has tilt his head at the sudden new sounds of another person causing him to turn his head toward the direction of where the sound has come from, and as he saw the person definite appearance that was standing a bit far away, Shao Cheng sapphire eyes have remained the same without any single change, remaining waveless and unaffected.
There wasn't a single emotion and temperature on it, remaining completely blank and emotionless, unfeeling of anything that is currently happening, only one thought currently running on his mind and that is to kill everyone that dares to target the life of a special person.
However, despite it all, Shao Cheng that has wanted to take a step forward in order to hunt down the remaining person alive has stopped his movement, because the voice that has spoken was strangely familiar causing him to wake up a bit at his currently instinctual status.
"...Who...?"
Speaking in a soft voice that carried a hint of confusion, Shao Cheng has pulled the swords that are currently piercing a person's heart in a heartless manner, causing the spurting blood to splash once again on his current bloody drench robes, while a droplet of blood splatter on his cheeks.
Ren Yuan that has heard the confusion on the young man's voice, couldn't help but swallow hard, the fit of rage has completely disappeared, only feeling extremely depressed at the young man's current situation, after all, he can easily recognize that appearance and expression on Whitey face at the moment.
"Whitey, it's me... Big Brother Yu Yu... do you remember me?"
Oh, Ren Yuan wasn't scared, suspicious, doubtful and wary toward Whitey states right now and only felt endless concern since those looks belong to a person that has become completely numb as they killed their heart completely in order not to suffer and feel hurt of what they have done.
Suddenly Ren Yuan felt endless remorse, guilt, and regret turning the young man into someone like this... a person who was force to kill a person for the first time.
Ren Yuan can understand that this world isn't a fair and kind one, where the strong is always right and the weak can only be trampled and step on.
So killing a person has been a common thing in this world, but Ren Yuan can still remember Whitey clear sapphire eyes without any single taint within it, as it shone brightly and beautifully as the young man standing in a snow-covered ground, white snow robe flapping gently while pink petals of flowers fall down upon him.
He would have preferred the young man to remain that way, unburden and free from all the mortal world problems and no filth can touch him.
"Yu...an...?"
Hearing his name being called for the first time by Whitey, Ren Yuan can only blink his eyes in surprise.
"... Yes... it's me, Ren Yuan... Big Brother Yu Yu?"
With a bit of coaxing sound, Ren Yuan calmly took a slow step forward to Whitey, while inside, he has been brimming with infinite hatred and resentment toward the person or people that have caused all of this to happen.
If later on, he discovers them, he will definitely give them what they deserve and more...
"Come on... let's go... you need to be treated right now."
Shao Cheng let out a frown, shaking his head that has caused his small body to delicately sway sideways, causing Ren Yuan to flash ahead of and hurriedly taking the young man into his arms, unbothered at the sticky blood that has wet his own robe.
"... people... there's still lots of them... need to go kill them fast... danger... Big Brother... Yu... Yu..."
"Shh... come on. I'm healthy and strong now, completely healed so I can deal with them without any problem."
"...but..."
"Believe in Big Brother Yu Yu alright? I'll take care of them, so just rest and be a good boy ok?"
Shao Cheng that has been carried has instinctively looped his hands around the slender neck of the older man before finally nodding his head causing Ren Yuan to inwardly feel relief that the young man is listening easily to his words right now and didn't become difficult and stubborn.
After all, he was slowly learning more about the difficulty of handling and managing this person.
However, Ren Yuan has completely neglected to notice about the hands around his slender neck, oblivious of the danger it represents of leaving his most vital part unguarded to a person that he just met for a few days, especially when said person has just finished a bloody battle as he killed everyone around him.
"Come on, let's go to a safe place in order to check your injuries."
"Um."
Shao Cheng has nodded his head obediently and leaning his head sideways over to the warm chest of the person carrying him, while Ren Yuan felt extremely please at the currently docile Whitey, completely oblivious at the way the supposedly pitiful person has bent his lip silently.
Suddenly, the purple dragon that has been silent the entire time as he lay on top of Ren Yuan head has raised his head to give a loud indignant roar.
"Roar!" Shameless! Liar! Wicked! My poor ignorant and unaware previous creator!
And Shao Cheng who was able to quickly woke up from his haze from the start has heard Purple indignant roar which he silently move his hand gently at the back of Ren Yuan head and executing the famous F sign in reply.
Hmph... of course, Shao Cheng needs to act in great distress, suffering, and difficulty after finally seeing Ren Yuan's arrival or else how will he be able to explain about managing to kill all of the enemies without making the older man feel doubtful and suspicious against him once again?
Even if he can use the reason of just being natural and extremely gifted and talented, Shao Cheng will definitely suspect the person no matter what, especially after he observes the current surrounding, which Shao Cheng has been fortunate enough to be able to take Ren Yuan entire attention all to himself, making him unable to properly notice the unusualness of their surrounding.
What to do if the man runs away from him after everything that has happened and all the hard work and difficulty he suffered turn to nought?
Just like he said, Shao Cheng will use any means to stay by this person's side, even if all of it has started with a lie or deceiving Ren Yuan about it, because, in the end, Shao Cheng feeling will remain true.
Once again, Shao Cheng isn't a good person.
