Zuo Zhe pulled himself out of his drifting thoughts. Hei Shen. This is the name of that god… the being Yu Sheng referred to as 'that man'. After he had reminisced the back story that he wrote for Hei Shen, he suddenly remembered one important detail he has forgotten.

"Braided hair… hair beads…" he muttered with his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Zhe?" Yu Sheng called when he noticed Zuo Zhe's pale face and alarmed expression. Something is definitely wrong with Zuo Zhe.

But, Zuo Zhe seemed to not hear him since he felt his ears are ringing because of the realization that struck him. "Braided hair… hair beads…" he muttered in a low voice, as if possessed.

Yu Sheng saw Zuo Zhe was incoherently mumbling, so he doesn't understand what Zuo Zhe is saying.

Meanwhile, Zuo Zhe felt his whole body is cold, as cold as a corpse. No way… he thought as he gasped. I was the one who wrote Hei Shen's character setting. I am the one who wrote that the villagers have braided hair with beads on their tip. Hei Shen, who returned as a demon to seek revenge, in order to blend with the villagers, and also to never forget how he died, braided his hair.

It was Zuo Zhe who should recognize the most these foreign demonic cultivators. But, he failed to recognize them, since he forgot them. After all, it felt like ages ago to him when he transmigrated in this world. Fortunately, there's Yu Sheng who recognized the enemies. And, there's Yu Sheng to remind him of what he supposed to remember but forgotten.

And such a harsh reminder. Zuo Zhe now felt guilty, and also regretful. He closed his eyes tight.

"Huh? What's wrong with young master Zuo? He looks pale." Jing Cheng said when they turned after praying for the deceased child.

Zuo Zhe immediately returned to his senses. He forced a smile. "It's nothing. I suddenly feel nauseous – " he said.

Suddenly, Lei Ling gasped. His eyes became round and wide, and he covered his mouth with his both hands as he looked at Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe in shock. "Pale… and nauseous…" he muttered. "Young master Zuo… could it be that you're – " pregnant, was he about to say.

But, Zuo Zhe, seeing Lei Ling's strange expression, immediately continued his words. " – after seeing so many corpses – " he forcefully spoke. " – including a child's." he added.

"… oh." Lei Ling muttered. He looked like he was disappointed.

Zuo Zhe's face was covered in dark lines. He speechlessly looked at Lei Ling before he turned to look at Yu Sheng who is grinning. Obviously, Yu Sheng knows what Lei Ling is gonna say. And, not only Yu Sheng, but also the others. But, as a sign of respect to Zuo Zhe, they didn't react very obviously like Yu Sheng and just silently averted their gaze.

Zuo Zhe. "…" how can Lei Ling think like that? Seriously, pregnant?! He thought as he looked at Yu Sheng in the eyes. Their gazed talking.

Yu Sheng smiled and held Zuo Zhe's hand before he wrote on his palm. "Why not? Who knows, maybe you have a special physique and really can become pregnant." He told him.

Zuo Zhe's face flushed, both in anger and embarrassment.

Yu Sheng felt it isn't enough, so he added. "After all, we have done it countless times. So, if you really could get pregnant, then those seeds of mine weren't all wasted and finally bore us a fruit – " he said.

Zuo Zhe, who can't take it anymore, immediately pulled his hand back from Yu Sheng's grip as if he was scalded and he immediately leaped away from Yu Sheng as if Yu Sheng is a beast. Well, figuratively, he is – in many ways.

"So… young master Zuo is fine?" Qian Lin asked.

"Yes!" Zuo Zhe immediately answered and, before any of them could react, marched away.

Yu Sheng. "^_^"

Everyone. "…" what the hell… They all watched as Zuo Zhe left and flew on his own back to the Millennium Ship. They all looked at each other and were about to follow when they heard Yu Sheng laughed before he flew after Zuo Zhe. "…" being fed with dog food again! They guess that Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe are going to flirt… err, bicker again so they restrained themselves from going back to the Millennium Ship.

"… let's all scout the area for a short while before going back to the ship?" Jing Bai kindly suggested with a smile as he placed his arm over Zheng Yi's shoulder.

"En." Jing Kang nodded and took Lei Ling away with him.

"Okay!" Jing Hei answered and left with Qian Lin.

Jing Cheng who was left alone. "…" shall I thicken my face and return to the ship? I want to stay with uncle…

Fei Lin who was about to go back to accompany the unconscious Xi Ling when he heard what Jing Bai said. "…" shall I stay, or leave? He thought. In the end, he decided to stay with the youngsters as the only adult left.

Lei Qing, Li Tian and Feng Mo looked at each other before deciding to go back together to the Millennium Ship. What should they stay here for? Forcefully swallow the dog food?

Fei Lin and Jing Cheng turned, only to see Lei Qing, Li Tian and Feng Mo decisively flew back to the Millennium Ship. Then, they looked at each other.

"Stay?" Fei Lin initiated to ask, as the senior.

Jing Cheng who realized that the ones who agreed are his brothers and cousin. "… stay." He answered. "Elder Fei can go back first. I'll call them in a short while." He told Fei Lin.

Fei Lin felt embarrassed because it was a junior being considerate to him instead of the opposite. But, since he is worried over Xi Ling, he nodded and then flew back, following the Xinfaxian Sect disciples.

Jing Cheng watched Fei Lin and the Xinfaxian Sect disciples reached the Millennium Ship when he realized something. "… wasn't Lei Ling their fellow disciple?" he asked. And Lei Ling is Lei Qing;s younger brother. How can they just leave Lei Ling?

Should he worry that the Xinfaxian Sect disciples are too carefree, or feel relieved that they entrusted Lei Ling to them – precisely, to Jing Kang? Jing Cheng who felt frustrated that their uncle is still not awake, so his romance was halted, pulled his hair in irritation.

In the end, he cut off the three pairs' time and called them to go back to the Millennium Ship. This serves as a reminder to them that they shouldn't provoke a sexually frustrated person.

Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Jing Kang who seriously looked for some clues around. "…" we're just being accompanied by our lovers. We didn't do anything! We are innocent!

Qian Lin, Zheng Yi and Lei Ling looked at each other. "…" we are being wrongly accused!

But, Jing Cheng acted blind and flew away on his sword. Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Jing Kang, together with Qian Lin, Zheng Yi and Lei Ling, internally cried for justice but flew behind him still.

When they returned, they saw that Qian Tian is present. Everyone's expression is serious.

"We have to decide whether to continue to travel to Shashan Pass, leading to the Sand Sea Mountain to face Wu Ran. Or – " Qian Tian said. " – stay and wait until sect leader Jing, sect leader Xie, elder Fan and elder Xie wake to increase our power." He looked at each one of them.

No one spoke. The disciples felt they don't have the right to decide and that their task is to only follow. So, they all looked at Qian Tian, Fei Lin and Yu Sheng, as well as Zuo Zhe.

Zuo Zhe saw their gazes on him and he just shrugged, indicating that he's also a 'follower'. He sat silently on the side and looked at Yu Sheng, then Qian Tian and Fei Lin, indicating he will leave the decision to them.

How can Yu Sheng, Qian Tian and Fei Lin not know what are they thinking?

Fei Lin, the best tempered, cleared his throat before he spoke. "We called you here, not only to listen and be informed of our decision, but also want you to participate in the discussion." He explained as he looked at Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Lei Ling, Jing Cheng, Jing Kang, Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Qian Lin and Zheng Yi.

"Elder Fei…" Jing Cheng called.

"You Rou will also come after she distilled the last bottle." Qian Tian spoke.

The disciples helplessly looked at each other.

"Once you've boarded this ship, each one of you matters." Qian Tian said. "So, if you want to say something, then don't hesitate or be afraid to speak. Speak up!" he told them.

"Ge…" Qian Lin called.

Qian Tian looked at them. "Before you decide, let me say tell you the pros and cons." He told them. "After that, you have to vote." He said.
