A Journey Against the World
Chapter 167

The disciples who had entered into the Eternal Realm Mainland had returned home, they were all greeted with joy by the people waiting for them. There were also those who were grieved that not all young Cultivators managed to get out safely.

Qixuan's entourage was immediately welcomed by Elder Biming. In addition, they were also directly invited to the inn to rest. The Biming Elders were very happy to see the disciples return safely, although there was someone who had to return with a stumped body, who else if not Kiseki.

In the inn they were also immediately treated to many delicious dishes, they happened to be very hungry, they ate the dish lustfully. But the atmosphere was a little different this time, not as usual they were chatting with each other, but ever since the events in the Eternal Land of Nature, estrangement began to occur.

The Biming Elder was aware of the awkwardness of the atmosphere. He looked at Qixuan and asked. "What happened during your time in the Eternal Realm?"

"We experienced many unexpected things, Elder." Qixuan smiled stiffly, between wanting to discuss but also feeling uneasy with others, especially Juan Yu, Xiu An and Yurui.

"really? But why do I feel your closeness is stretched." The words of Elder Biming made Xiu An choke, Yue Jian immediately gave Xiu An a glass of water, at first Xiu An hesitated to take it but because Yue Jian's gaze was so fixed he would not want to take it.

Meanwhile Elder Biming felt that if his guess was correct, he could guess from the attitude of Xiu An who was so panicked because of his words. Moreover, Yurui and Juan Yu immediately turned away from her gaze.

Elder Biming put his chopsticks back on the table, then looked at all his students seriously. "Explain to me what happened?"

Qixuan looked at the others, all looking unwilling to speak, while Shua Xie kept eating as if he did not care what happened. A sigh sounded, so Qixuan was the one who had to explain now.

"Look at the Elder. As long as we are in the Eternal Land of Nature, they ...."

Sir!

"Aahh! Shit!" A girl bellowed in annoyance as she placed the empty wine glass onto the table. The girl had already consumed three medium-sized jugs of wine, while the two men nearby had already banned her from drinking a lot of wine.

"Are you drunk?"

"Me?" The girl pointed at herself then gave a wide grin like someone who was already insane. "I'm not drunk." He argued while laughing.

"You're drunk" said the other man flatly.

"I'm not drunk, Tsakuya." The girl denied it again. The man named Tsakuya was quite strong.

"Look, if you stick to me don't blame me for doing something to you" Tsakuya flatly threatened. Spontaneous the girl released her embrace while clutching her body with her own two hands.

"You ... Don't fuck around! I'm this-"

"Dad! We'd better take him away before he's even more crazed here." Tsakuya moves on followed by Zusami who has put a bag of money on the table. The two of them forcefully pulled the girl out by embracing the girl's hand, Tsakuya on the left and Zusami on the right. However the girl did not seem to want to leave the wine shop yet, she screamed loudly making the other visitors stare confusedly at the three of them.

"I don't want to go! Unhand me! I still want to drink that wine!"

"Let go!!"

"Yeah!! Release!!"

Even after leaving the tavern the girl was still screaming while thrashing, of course attracting a lot of attention around her. Tsakuya and Zusami begin to get overwhelmed by the girl, who would have thought she would be this drunk after drinking wine.

"Let go!!"

"Just this time I saw he was very weak against wine." Zusami said as she continued to pull the girl she was embracing.

"Heh, why don't you suspect she's suddenly drinking wine?" Tsakuya smiled cynically, as if mocking Zusami's insensitivity towards this girl.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know the disease recurs in five hours, so he chose this method as a painkiller during his illness relapse. Because of this disease he became this wild, actually he was enduring the pain ... but the effects of wine can make him resistant to pain. It's a good way but he won't be able to last long in this way" Tsakuya explained.

"Ah .. it's appropriate that he behaves like never before. Then where are we taking him?"

"Somewhere far enough from this town."

Just as the three of them were in the limelight as the girl they were carrying kept screaming and squealing like crazy, all of a sudden the three of them were gone, of course making everyone who was staring at them confused and shocked. Suddenly disappearing in the middle of the crowd of course makes a commotion.

"imm? What's going on?" The girl spread her eyes. Seeing all his sides deserted, but when his eyes were fixed on one side, he saw two men sitting while staring at him. The girl frowned in wonder because her distance from the man was quite far, about 20 meters from him.

"What the hell is"

"What's going on?" ask the girl after she lands on the ground. He looked seriously at the two men in front of him, very curious what had happened to him so that he could be inside the lake.

"Did you forget?"

"What's? I don't remember anything. Can you tell me what happened to me?"

"You got drunk and passed out, and then your cold pulse almost froze everything around you. To prevent it, we soak you in the water of the lake that we've been hot, but it's cooling because of you" explained Zusami. The girl frowned as she tried to recall, the last time she remembered she went into the wine shop and drank a lot of wine, up to the 10th glass, she said, after that he did not know what happened.

"This is the first time I've been sober with wine. Though I had been drinking a lot ...," the girl softly rubbed her chin in disbelief. Truly he could not believe that a drinking expert seemed to be so drunk that he forgot what happened when he was drunk.

"And you chose to drink wine as a painkiller when my illness recurred. Was my guess wrong?" Tsakuya replied while shaking her waist. He wanted to scold the stupidity of this girl for choosing to drink wine as a painkiller, indeed drinking wine is good as a painkiller, but wine can also be fatal if it cannot be controlled.

"Lucky you've been drinking wine so much that it doesn't have a big impact on you other than getting drunk while yelling, let go of me! Unhand me! I want to drink wine!"

"Stop! You're embarrassing me, don't talk about embarrassing things that I did while I was drunk." The girl interrupted with one hand raised. Ask Tsakuya to stop talking.

"Tsakuya don't tease her." Zusami reprimanded and only replied to a nod and a mischievous smile from Tsakuya. "Now how are you?" Zusami turned to the girl, wanting to know what the girl was feeling like now, who knew maybe she felt nauseous or dizzy from drinking so much wine.

"I'm fine."

"Really?" The girl nodded twice. Zusami felt relieved if it was true that the girl was okay, as an older sister it was natural not if she was worried about her sister.

"This is the first time I've seen my illness overflow quite a lot." The girl turned to stare at the lake which was still emitting cold steam. It was a little bit of a shock to see that the lake was almost frozen.

"This is still not how much, there will be times when you will feel pain due to cold pulse disease. I suggest that you cure your illness immediately" said Tsakuya, who also stared at the lake.

"Are you scaring me, Tsakuya?" The girl turned to look at Tsakuya. But the man she was looking at only boasted a thin smile full of ill intentions, bad for the girl's gaze.

"I don't scare you, but you know what it's like to suffer from that disease." The girl fell silent because she knew Tsakuya's answer was not a threat, but a reality she felt for herself. And he knows how to suffer from having a cold pulse disease.

"What is your purpose now? Do we need to take a journey to find the nine bodies of race leaders, as well as to speed up your healing. If Demon King Huan can return to his body, I'm sure he can cure your illness."

"That problem can be later. Now I have to prevent someone from taking over the Middle World. After that, our journey begins." The girl's sight turned serious.

"Then you still want to help the girl who almost killed you?"

"What do you mean, Tsakuya?" Zusami replied quickly, not understanding what Tsakuya was talking about. Piercing? Wh who?

Tsakuya let out a small laugh, at a glance he glanced at the girl in front of him, he hesitated to tell because he did not want to offend the girl. What if Zusami finds out the girl almost died from her own twin? Surely he would be very surprised, but that's not the point why Tsakuya hesitates to explain. This could offend the girl.

"You should know better what happened to that girl named Shua Xie after she came to her senses?" Zusami still frowned at Tsakuya's words.

"Just get to the point" replied Zusami.

"He almost killed me." The girl who spoke to Zusami. Spontaneous Zusami's gaze was fixed on him. "We met in an inner realm that you couldn't reach. There's something that you don't know about. And the reason why I could have this body."

Although Zusami has explained it still does not understand, do he, Tsakuya who knows a little clearly the chronology of why the girl was injured also still does not understand. But the two of them understood a little that this girl was just a spirit hitching a ride on the girl's body. And was struck out because of the desire of the original owner of the body.

"Actually who are you?" Tsakuya asked in a serious tone. Instantly the atmosphere slightly changed, the atmosphere as if giving off an aura that made the two men seem to be doubtful of their own questions. While the girl was still silent and had yet to answer.

"Me, Shua Xie. But from this moment on I will change my name to Menma, so you must call me Menma," replied the girl.

"Isn't that what I want to know, but I want to know who you really are? Where the hell are you from?" Tsakuya reiterated her question which she thought had not been answered. Don't blame him for wanting to know a lot, if he wants to follow someone then he should know clearly who that person is.

"You'll know in time." The manma smiled kindly to Tsakuya and Zusami. "The thing I helped him you know clearly, me and him like water and oil, will not unite." Menma returned the topic.

"Then why do you care about Middle-earth?"

"Because I want to avenge someone who has taken advantage of me," Menma replied flatly, as soon as her countenance turned flat, clearly indicating that someone she meant she hated very much, and he desperately wants to reply.

The question Zusami and Tsakuya ask is, who is the person Menma refers to?
