HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
368 - Crazy Beggar Boy (6)

The Crazy Beggar Boy looked at Xiao Shuxiang and said, "You are really quite outrageous. How could you forget this senior of yours. You know, I almost died."


"But in the end you survived, right?" Xiao Shuxiang said, "There is no need to overdramatize things. What have they done to you?"


"War, Xiao Shuxiang." The Crazy Beggar Boy said, "I watched the Demon Valley Sect collapse and many cultivators were gone. Ling Lang Tian and that man named Siu Yixin had almost lost their lives. I'm almost gone myself, too,"


"You're strong, you're strong,"


"I'm very strong, but that doesn't mean I can do it all by myself. Do you know, I even got chased by cultivators who already stink of that land."


Xiao Shuxiang frowned, "Pursuing you? Why?"


The Mad Beggar Boy exhaled and shook his head slowly. He rubbed his face and said, "I accidentally took out the Dragon Breathing Technique. I screwed. At present... The Sky Empire was shaken by the news that the Legendary Technique had returned. Oh, my gosh!"


Xiao Shuxiang watched the Mad Beggar Boy. He saw this man patting his forehead in a very panicked manner. He also tonelessly said, "They're chasing you because they want to seize the breathing technique?"


The Crazy Beggar boy looked over. The tone of voice of this young man beside him was not as usual. His forehead shriveled as he watched Xiao Shuxiang intently.


The Mad Beggar Boy said, "The romance you're trying to. What was? Fighting with Lan'Er Gege or getting caught cheating on your wife?"


"A fight with Lan Zhi,"


"I'd guess. Now what's the problem?"


Xiao Shuxiang looked unhappy. He clucked and said, "Can you put that look on your face? You look happy when you hear me fighting with Lan Zhi. Is this some funny entertainment for you?"


"Of course I'm happy. It was a great pleasure to laugh over the suffering of Xiao Shuxiang."


"Ho ho, so if someone else were to suffer you wouldn't act like this?" Xiao Shuxiang quipped and made the Crazy Beggar Boy smile.


Without guilt, the Mad Beggar Boy said. "Of course, I'm just like this to you."


"Waaah... This Xiao Shuxiang is special. Thank you for your shitty honesty, Senior."


"No problem, I like your innuendo, too."


The Mad Beggar Boy and Xiao Shuxiang smiled. The two laughed at each other before finally starting to talk seriously. Xiao Shuxiang fixed his position and sat down with a sigh.


The Crazy Beggar boy looked up, looking at the moon in the crevice of the leaves before finally lowering his gaze. His voice was slow as he said, "It feels like... We have many similarities."


"I don't want to be like you. And again, I'm a normal guy."


"Tsk, not from that side."


"................." Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and said, "In the Upper Cultivation Realm... When they fought over the Sun Killer Book that was on me... I made those cultivators fight each other. They killed, fighting over what they believed was the Book of the Sun Killer. When only one person was alive, I finished him off and Lan Zhi saw that. He's very disappointed.."


The Mad Beggar Boy was actually jolted with the sudden story of Xiao Shuxiang. But then he exhaled and opened his voice, "That time... I think I've also had friends like Lan'Er Gege. He was the one who always supported, even dared to oppose the world for my sake."


"Where is your friend now?"


"Dead,"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and looked at the Mad Beggar Boy. Without a tone he asked, "Did you kill him?"


"No, I wouldn't be able to do that. He's gone because he's old,"


"Oh...." Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and said, "Good go. At least you're luckier. You didn't finish off the people closest to you,"


"Indeed you did it?"


"................"


"Crazy Beggar, what's the hardest time of your life?"


The Crazy Beggar boy looked over. He gasped and watched the young man beside him. He took a breath and lowered his eyes.


The Crazy Beggar Boy smiled faintly as he said, "This is the first time anyone has asked me that. What was? You're getting interested in this 'Your senior's' life?"


"Well, I'm in a tough time right now. So just say it. Your answer might affect my next move,"


The Crazy Beggar Boy used his hands to lean. He wiggled his legs as he looked up, "Mm... The hardest times of my life were actually three. First was my childhood, second was when my teacher was gone, and third was when I was strong with the Dragon Breathing Technique."


The Mad Beggar Boy took a breath and said, "My childhood.. I don't really remember the details, but all I can tell you is... The child is dumped in the trash, then cared for by a woman whose husband is a drunk. At the age of 5 years, exposed to skin diseases and hostile to many people. Dad sold my mom and I to a brothel, then this and that happened and I was dumped again. That's how.."


The Mad Beggar Boy scratched his head and continued, "The time when my teacher was gone... I think I was about 17 or 18. I met the teacher when I was a kid, he came to look for a student and I stuck to him like a dog. Self-esteem couldn't help and keep me alive, so I threw it away and acted shameless. It was fortunate that it was stubborn and perhaps also out of pity for my circumstances.. He took me to his sect..."


"What's up?" Xiao Shuxiang was astonished because the breath of the Mad Beggar Boy was so deep and this man lowered his gaze.


"That moment... The beginning of everything. He was indeed I thought of as a teacher, but I had never been taught anything about the basics of being a cultivator. Master said my spiritual core could not be formed, so the 'student-teacher' relationship was... Just a name. In the end I did my own business even though in reality it remained far behind..."


"And of course... The sect began to be attacked and then destroyed. The teacher's beloved disciple who received the Sun Killer Book then did a lot of chaos and I was the most useless person because I couldn't stop or save him,"


Crazy Beggar Boy took a breath, "If about relationships... I also had some friends, but it only really existed when I was about 20 years old and I lived in a beggar's college. And if it's about you killing a lot of people - I did the same thing in the past. Merely, you live in the Black Stream neighborhood, while I live in the dirtiest place among the White Stream realm."


"................." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and said, "It turns out your life is hard huh.."


"M, uh,"


"You were thrown into the trash, while I was thrown into the arena of life and death. You're throwing away your pride and I'm killing my sympathy. I think at some point, we do have something in common."


The Crazy Beggar Boy took a breath. He was just about to speak, but Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice first.


"Crazy Beggar, how did you get through it all?"


"Running away."


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head, he looked at the Mad Beggar Boy who was completely invisible to joking. "You're serious?"


"I did run away." The Crazy Beggar Boy smiled and said, "I'm wasting my pride, so I'm not ashamed of running away. I faked my death, changed my identity and lived as an insane person."


"Shuxiang..." The Mad Beggar Boy said, "The swordsman... And cultivators living in your neighborhood.. They want eternal life. But to be honest it's very unpleasant, not at all delicious."


The Mad Beggar Boy patted his chest and said, "This place has already taken too much away from sadness, humiliation, and pain. I wish I could not even hear and see. Turn this senses off so as to no longer see eye gazes that show disdain as if I were the dirtiest subject ever."


"Just a little, Shuxiang. Among the many people I know, only a few can accept me. These two hands were impossible to silence their mouths, so all I could do was use these hands to cover their own ears. But it turns out that this action was wrong."


The Mad Beggar Boy sighed softly and said, "In the end I gave up. So I'll make the identity they want. Self-worth means nothing to me. So it's better to be as shameless and disgusting as they want."


The Mad Beggar Boy closed his eyes for a moment before finally smiling and then laughing. He also excitedly said, "You know being considered a fan of the *cut arm is so bad? They are afraid and disgusted. But for me.. This is better. Because to be honest, I've been lazy to form relationships. I was tired of attending funerals. Every relationship I have... If it is not cut off above the blade of the sword, it will be snatched away by time. Eternal life... It is a solitude that never ends."


The Mad Beggar Boy said, "I can see every day... Their faces were getting older and bodies were slowly bending over. Some say cultivation is about practicing immortality, but in fact it is just simply gaining the ability to extend their lifespan for a few years. In the end, the black hair will remain white and they will grow old and die. While this guy... It is very hostile to death."


"The Crazy Beggar..."


"I've... To think that being the Pillar of the World is a curse. And not only I felt it, but the other pillars of the world did too. That's why we are looking for an heir to escape this chain of life and be free. But when my friends found their heir, I was left alone again."


"Not for a hundred years, Shuxiang... Even I was there and watched the ground split, then split off. I watched the land form and become a new continent. I saw life and death alternating. The only thing that remains the same is me, trapped in this age, never aging or dying. Other humans may want this ability, but I can promise you that it won't be long until they get bored and then realize that... The privilege of being human is that you can die. If death is taken from you, do you still deserve to be called human?"


"................."
