God Slayer Chronicles 79 An Unexpected Visitor

"The wine… it's always gone." Sha Ku tutted, turning it upside down above his gaping mouth until a few little droplets trickled out, which he gulped down with fierce ferocity.

"Ugh.. it couldn't get me drunk now anyway…" Sha Ku shook his head in slight contempt.

"You know what they never tell you about having an Undying Body, Yan Huang?" Sha Ku asked his transparent friend.

"I'm guessing that you can't get drunk?" he swiftly replied, with an unamused look adorning his sour face.

Seeing his reaction, Sha Ku chortled, "Oh, I forgot. Hehe." Remembering that his compatriot couldn't even eat, or drink let alone have the pleasure… or displeasure of getting drunk.

"I remember in the Nine Flame; we had a personal brewmaster. He was a monk from the Sacred Peach Paradise. We bought his loyalty by providing the Peach Paradise with a Buddhist Scripture that we found in some old ruins. In return they sent this silent bald brewmaster over, for a thousand years he brewed the sweetest and most succulent of wines. Many of the disciples wept after he left."

"Hopefully you'll be able to drink that Sacred Peach Paradise Wine again, Yan Huang. Just give me time, and I'll make sure we reach it there." Sha Ku spoke a soft smile on his face.

"Time? Thank the Heavens, for that, is all I have to give." Yan Huang joked; a heartfelt grin crossed his face for the first time in a long time.

The two spoke into the depths of the night until Sha Ku fell asleep on the burnt black soot covered stone floor. Not awakening until the hearkening of morning crows came tapping on his burnt-out window… which could more accurately be described as a hole now…

Knock. Knock.

"Ugh…" Sha Ku's s...o...b..ring face was pushed upwards by his hands as he dizzily arose from his slumber.

Knock. Knock.

Wiping the drool from his chin and rubbing his eyes Sha Ku gave a sharp blow on each side of his nose, pressing down on the other side with his knuckles.

Knock. Knock.

"Heaven's sake, who's knocking at such an unG.o.dly hour?!" Sha Ku barked as he swung open the door.

Standing there, legs shaking together and an honest to heaven look of absolute dread stood a young boy. His knees knocking and eyes darting about the place he spoke, "Sha… Sha Ku?"

"Ugh, it's you." Sha Ku groaned at the boy in multiple five coloured robes.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?!" Sha Ku barked, pointing at the sun but not looking at it in the skies above; where it was apparently high in the sky.

"Err… Err… it… it's Midday." The five-coloured boy spoke, his voice, trembling.

"Mid... Midday?" Sha Ku spoke in surprise, as he peeked out of the door, looking at the midday sun hanging high in the sky.

Pouting his lips outwards and putting his eyebrows up like a chimney on a house, he gave a nod, "Hu, so it is midday."

"Anyway, come in, Yung Chu." Sha Ku grabbed the tall skinny boy by the ear, dragging him into his hut.

Bang!

"Who was that who went into Sha Ku's Room?" the purple-haired Yu s.h.i.+ asked Bing Yuanshan, who was sitting next to him on the broken fountain.

"He has an azure collar and a five-coloured robe. He must be from the top of Elemental Peak. He's also a Coloured Star Cultivator… strange, how would such a fellow know our resident Demonic Child." Bing Yuanshan wondered, stroking his chin.

Since cultivating the technique Sha Ku had given him, 'The Frost Archon's Wrath,' Bing Yuanshan had changed. It wasn't just his bravery, but his entire nature had changed. He was literally starting to embody some of the ancient traits of a 'Frost Archon'.

Thoughtful, keen and unyielding.

All of these had been mixed into the big pot that was his personality!

He peered over his shoulder to the tongue-ripped Song Yi who was currently leaning over the fountain with his mouth wide open. He was gazing intently at the lone inch of his tongue that was left…

"Knock it off, Song Yi. You'll only feel worse the longer you look." Bing Yuanshan said, intently trying to discourage him from peering at his missing organ.

"…." Song Yi looked at him with a hint of despair.

"You realise if you make it to Star Palace, you should be able to regrow your tongue?" Yu s.h.i.+ told the soppy looking fool.

Song Yi just frowned at him in a h.e.l.lish agony, unable to respond.

"You know, Song Yi," Bing Yuanshan spoke up, "You could try Body Cultivation. They say it's ten-times more agonising than Qi Cultivation, but you might be better suited for it?" Bing Yuanshan rubbed his chin, suggesting to his friend.

"Not to mention that to be a powerful Demonisis Master you don't necessarily cultivate Qi, you can use your bodily energies as a Body Pract.i.tioner," Bing Yuanshan explained to his friend that it might be a good idea to change paths.

"Bing Yuanshan has a point, Song Yi. Plus, body cultivators can regrow body parts rather rapidly. I had an Uncle, Yu Gong, who regrew an arm and he's a Silver Body Cultivator." Yu s.h.i.+ added, taking out a nightshade apple, starting to chew it.

"You really have to eat that poisonous fruit around us?" Bing Yuanshan said with forthright revulsion, covering his nose.

"What? I use Poison Art, what's your problem?" Yu s.h.i.+ asked, crunching on the toxic apple a gleeful look on his face all the while.

"Ugh. Come on, Song Yi." Bing Yuanshan dragged Song Yi away.

"Where are you going?!" Yu s.h.i.+ shouted at them in the distance.

"We're going to the Spirit Hall to find a Body Scripture for Song Yi. Join us, you know, when you finished your poisonous death apple!" Bing Yuanshan walked off, with Song Yi in tow while Yu s.h.i.+ shrugged, unbothered.
