Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Parting is easy, but meeting again is difficult!

These two childhood rivals met again more than a decade later. They had only met once before, but Yi Xuan remembered everything. But Shen Yi Chen? He remembered nothing at all.

Yi Xuan also has a scar on his arm, which was bitten by Shen Yichen years ago. It's amazing that a five-year-old child could leave a scar, which shows how much force he used back then.

Back then, Shen Yichen almost lost an arm, but he didn't let go. In the end, it was a woman who separated them, a woman wearing a gray monk's robe.

She was a gentle and refined woman, but also a woman who instilled fear in people's hearts.

Shen Yichen was so frightened that he let go of her mouth, but the woman kept smiling.

Yixuan also remembered that woman, and he was afraid because what he saw was not a woman's smiling face, but a smiling skull.

Yixuan's fear of graves and corpses started back then, and even after more than ten years, that skull face is still very clear.

In Lingling Town, spring is in full bloom, flowers are in bloom, grass is lush and green, and people are bustling about.

"I told you we should have consulted the fortune teller first, but you insisted on leaving first. You had such a handsome face, and now you've ruined it all, turning yourself into a grotesque mess with a bruised and swollen face. How are we supposed to go to the brothel now? Will the pretty girls still be able to accompany us?"

Shen Yichen's face was bruised and red, half from the fall and half from anger!

"Look at you, how could you manage without me by your side? You need to reflect on yourself. Some calamities are not entirely ordained by fate; they are closely related to one's heart and actions."

You said if you weren't thinking about women, you wouldn't have tripped and fallen? No, no, I did trip and fall, but you brought up women first, and I was distracted, which is why I fell. So, pushing you down wasn't my fault; the root of the problem lies with you!

Shen Yichen had already covered his ears; he was on the verge of a breakdown!

"Men must cultivate their minds and character, and not let women ruin their bodies. They must be chaste and self-respecting, and disasters will naturally disappear. Are you even listening to me? Why aren't you reacting at all?"

Yi Xuan was furious when he saw Shen Yichen covering his ears, and kicked him again!

Shen Yichen knelt down on the ground, kneeling on both knees.

"Woof woof... woof woof..."

A dog lunged at Shen Yichen because there was a bone between them.

Without a second thought, Shen Yichen slapped the dog, causing it to bleed profusely.

"Bubble, bubble..."

A woman shouted anxiously and angrily!

Before Shen Yichen could react, Yixuan grabbed him and ran, using her internal energy to run.

Shen Yichen looked back and saw that six or seven people were also using their internal energy to chase after him.

"Look at you, you're already in the thick of things, why are you still bringing up things from your childhood? Now look what you've done, you've gotten yourself into trouble!"

"Qingchen, stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to join Wulang Academy? Those people are from Wulang Academy!"

Shen Yichen was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked back again.

"Yixuan, how come I didn't notice?"

"When I first came to Yanquan, I encountered similar people, almost identical to you. If you want to fight, I'm happy to oblige!"

Shen Yichen certainly didn't want to fight, so the two quickened their pace, but the people behind them were still chasing closely!

Shen Yichen frowned slightly; if things continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later.

Shen Yichen activated the Illusionary Demon Transformation, and countless phantoms appeared in the long street. He pulled Yixuan and sat down directly at a breakfast stall next to the street.

The two of them each ordered a serving of fried dough sticks, and they didn't know what the other one was. Soon, the group of people chasing them passed by them and scattered to chase after the phantom.

Yi Xuan gave Shen Yichen a thumbs up; Shen Yichen was so calm.

Shen Yichen smiled slightly, picked up the bowl on the table, and took a sip.

"what……"

Shen Yichen swallowed it in one gulp, then stuck out his tongue and fanned it like a dog!

"Boss, boss, what is this?"

"Sir, this is called Hu spicy soup. Is this your first time in Yanquan East? This is what all out-of-towners eat the first time they try it!"

The owner continued frying the dough sticks; he seemed to have gotten used to it.

Yi Xuan looked at Shen Yichen's lapdog-like behavior and laughed so hard he almost fell off the table.

Shen Yichen's tongue felt both spicy and numb, and he fanned it for quite a while!

"No, stop laughing. Why don't you... you should have a sip too?"

Yi Xuan took a while to recover.

"Is it really necessary? Let me try it!"

Yixuan picked up the bowl, took a sip, and then...!

Just like Shen Yichen, Yixuan stuck out his tongue and fanned himself with his hand.

"Boss, you, you..."

"Sir, come and have some fried dough sticks, you'll find them delicious!"

Shen Yichen and Yixuan picked up the fried dough sticks on the table and ate them. After a few bites, they found that they were quite good.

The two of them ate their spicy soup and fried dough sticks with great relish. They were true foodies, each drinking fifteen bowls of spicy soup and countless fried dough sticks. The table was piled high with empty bowls.

The shop owner stared in shock at Shen Yichen and Yixuan, speechless. These were the two people he had seen eat the most since he opened the shop.

"Boss, it tastes really good!"

Shen Yichen paid the bill and was about to leave when Yixuan got up and vomited.

Shen Yichen suppressed his anger, pinched his nose, and complained:

"If you can't eat that much, don't force yourself to!"

While vomiting, Yi Xuan pointed behind Shen Yichen.

When Shen Yichen turned around, his stomach churned violently, and he bent over and vomited everything up!

Shen Yichen saw the two little girls again; they were the two little girls eating scallion noodles in Shuangyu Town.

This time, the two little girls actually ate each other's snot!

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were disgusted; they ate as much as they vomited, and their mouths were full of bitter water in the end!

The two looked up at the two little girls, but they had already disappeared.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were blushing, their faces were chubby and a little swollen, numb and burning, their eyes were filled with tears and their noses were running uncontrollably.

The boss was initially shocked, but now he's furious!

Shen Yichen hurriedly took out a large sum of money to appease the shop owner.

Just as Shen Yichen and Yixuan were about to leave, several people dressed in the same clothes surrounded them. The leader was a woman with an average appearance and a mole on her chin.

"Is it the two of them?"

The woman was clearly angry, and her tone was somewhat cold!

"Senior Sister Xie Rou, yes, it seems so!"

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Shen Yichen wanted to speak, but couldn't. He gestured with his hands and wiped away his tears. He frantically tried to do something, but the others didn't understand what he meant!

The woman named Xie Rou snorted coldly:

"They couldn't even catch up with one person, what a bunch of useless cowards!"

After saying that, she turned and left. She examined Shen Yichen and Yixuan, and found that neither of them had any cultivation aura. She thought they were just ordinary people.

The others left as well, all covering their noses and mouths. Shen Yichen and Yixuan's vomit smelled terrible, especially with a spicy aroma; it was really pungent!

Shen Yichen and Yixuan exchanged a glance, then turned and walked in opposite directions. Neither of them could speak; their faces were numb.

Shen Yichen decided to drink alcohol, as tea wouldn't cure his ailment.

Qingfenglou.

Shen Yichen and Yixuan were the first group of guests, since it wasn't noon yet.

After Shen Yichen and Yixuan each drank two jugs of wine, their tongues finally felt a little better, and their food was served.

"Qingchen, every time I eat with you, I have to eat twice!"

"Shut up! Whose fault is this? It's yours!"

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he hurriedly pressed his chest, as he thought of the disgusting scene again.

"No one is allowed to mention this again. Let's drink!"

Yixuan felt disgusted too.

The two of them didn't eat anything, they just kept drinking until they no longer felt nauseous or had any taste in their mouths, and only then did they eat.

Of course they wolfed it down. The two of them were like reincarnated starving ghosts. This time, they didn't dare to eat too much, because eating too much would make them vomit more, and that feeling was too unpleasant.

When the two walked out of Qingfenglou, they put their arms around each other's shoulders; they had drunk quite a bit.

"Yi Xuan, this is the kind of martial arts world I've always wanted—eating meat to my heart's content and drinking wine from large bowls!"

"Qingchen, I... I don't like drinking, but I'll risk my life to keep you company today, you despicable person!"

"How dare you speak like that? Am I a gentleman, a true gentleman!"

"Tch, you're such a scoundrel. You've been thinking about how to get rid of me all along, haven't you?"

The two drunkards staggered out of Lingling Town, hugging each other tightly like good brothers!
