The Scum Is A ***

Shang He\'s voice was low, but everyone is skilled so they heard it. And when they heard it, their expressions changed from being shocked, to be confused, before they settled into looking complicated. A moment of silence fell upon them. Then, after a while when they recovered their expression, they turned to look at Meng Gui inside the palanquin. 

But, the curtain was already pulled down so they couldn\'t see Meng Gui\'s expression, nor his reaction to what Shang He has said just now. "Leader…" Meng Gui\'s people called. When they didn\'t hear Meng Gui\'s response, they turned to look at Shang He who opened the bottle of magic pills and ate some. 

Silence fell and only the crunching sound of the magic pills being eaten by Shang He could be heard. 

After a while, Meng Gui finally spoke. "Why aren\'t we moving?" he asked. He finally reacted. But, his reaction to Shang He\'s words is no reaction. 

Everyone\'s gaze fell on Shang He who just continued to chew the magic pills. They don\'t know what to do. 

Shang He helped down. "Let me in the palanquin." He spoke. Obviously, he is talking to Meng Gui. 

"Why?" Meng Gui snapped. Although they can\'t see his face, but they can guess from his tone that he is very, very irritated. 

But, it\'s as if Shang He couldn\'t sense his irritation. Shang He, after all, is a callous person. "I feel weak." He answered. 

"Didn\'t you eat the magic pills?!" Meng Gui asked through his gnashed teeth. His fingers on his whip twitched. He is itching to hit Shang He. 

Shang He, this blockhead, as if couldn\'t sense Meng Gui\'s killing intent. "I didn\'t." he lied without blinking an eye. His face is guiltless! 

Everyone gaped at Shang He. Shameless… really shameless! They thought as they looked at him in awe. They could hear from inside the palanquin Meng Gui\'s teeth are grinding. 

"Oh? Why didn\'t you eat it?" Meng Gui asked in a very calm tone.

Everyone heard his voice uncontrollably shivered. Oh, no… our leader is very, very mad now! The calmer his voice, the angrier he is! Meng Gui\'s people thought. They looked at Shang He\'s people for them to stop their own leader. But, Shang He\'s people just helplessly shook their head. They also don\'t know what kind of medicine did Shang He take today. 

Ah… right. Meng Gui\'s magic pills, which he denied. 

"They taste bad." Shang He answered.

"How did you know they taste bad if you didn\'t eat them?" Meng Gui asked. 

Shang He. "…" ah. I\'ve fallen in a word trap. 

Shang He\'s people. "…" boss… how will he escape this word trap?

Meng Gui\'s people. "…" boss Shang, can\'t you stop this already?! 

Shang He coughed, then suddenly, his body staggered. 

They all are about to catch him when they froze after they saw where his body is falling. "…" crap. They thought when they saw Shang He\'s body fell on the curtain, then crawled inside the palanquin. 

Everyone. "…." He really took the wrong medicine today… they thought as they watch Shang He quickly climbed inside the palanquin. His figure disappeared inside the curtain. 

Meng Gui who can\'t react fast to Shang He\'s actions. "…" he really wants to anger me to death today, right? He thought, his face darkened. 

If Shang He can anger me to death, then only he and Ma Wen are left as demonic leaders to compete. And since he can easily defeat Ma Wen, he will be the only one left. What a scheming man! We all thought before that he is only a numbskull. Who knows he is actually the most scheming person of all! He is more scheming than Ma Wen!

The more Meng Gui thought, the darker his face became. But, everyone knows he has the best temper among them four demonic leaders – now, only three of them remained since Du Xiang is dead. "Are you a worm?" he asked after he managed to suppress his temper. "You crawl well." He told him and smiled gracefully. 

Even Ma Wen, a scheming person, would snap after being anger to this extent. But, Meng Gui really had managed holding back his temper so well. 

Shang He\'s people who heard Meng Gui curse their leader as a worm. "…" should we save our leader\'s face or not? They thought. 

Meng Gui\'s people who heard their leader, who has the best temper and never cursed, curse. "…" oh, god. He is about to lose it! 

Shang He showed his people his answer to their question. "I can also crawl on your bed." He calmly replied. 

Shang He\'s people. "..." it\'s over. Their leader\'s mind is broken today! Could it be because of the explosion earlier? His head was strongly hit by the impact so he is acting strange today? 

Meng Gui\'s people. "..." no one has ever touched leader\'s bed aside from him. If someone did, then there\'s already a ten-feet tall grass above his grave. Will boss Shang succeed? 

Meng Gui. "…" f*ck this bastard! He\'s seeking death! He thought as his face turned darker than the bottom of the pot. But, his smile became brighter. "You want to?" he asked. 

Shang He, suddenly, paused. He stared at Meng Gui. 

As expected, Meng Gui\'s next words has a trap for him. "I\'ll allow you to crawl on my bed, but only after I peel off your skin and make some masks out of it; slice off your flesh and serve it on my plate; have your blood as my wine; and make your bones as my chair. Sounds fair?" he asked Shang He. 

Shang He\'s people. "…" leader Meng, your name doesn\'t suit you at all! You\'re not meng (cute) at all! Your words are not cute. They are vicious! By the time our leader crawls on your bed, there\'ll only be his soul left of him! Should we thank you to leave him his soul?

Meng Gui\'s people. "…" they all raised their head and gazed at the sky. Their expression serene. Ah, how long do we have to listen to this tasteless conversation? 

They all want to reach the Drunken Moon City, fast! Fortunately, neither Shang He nor Meng Gui spoke after that. It might look as Shang He\'s defeat since he can\'t outwit Meng Gui, leaving him speechless, but that\'s not all. For Shang He to push Meng Gui to this extent – to curse him to die, it can also be said that Meng Gui was defeated by Shang He\'s shamelessness. 

Shang He started at Meng Gui for a long time before he finally stopped provoking the other. He decided to change the topic and resume the serious atmosphere. "Fortunately, we didn\'t enter the brothels earlier. Or else…" He said and didn\'t continue what he is saying since both he and Meng Gui understood. 

They might have been infected with the illness earlier if they did. Fortunately, they disdain the brothels, so they just stayed outside in the plaza. Even after Ah Ke told them that contact is needed to contract the illness, but who knows if she is telling them the truth, or that this is just one of her traps? They believe it is just her another trap, since after she told them those words, everyone became frenzied and madly attacked each other because of fear and panic. 

Women can be gentle, but also can be more vicious than men. That\'s why they can\'t be trusted. Men can be dependable, but also are liars. That\'s why the more they can\'t be trusted. You can\'t trust anyone, aside from yourself. It\'s better to live alone in an island, than to live in a city surrounded by deceitful people who can stab you in the back anytime, anywhere. 

You never know what runs in someone\'s mind. It\'s better to have an idiot as a friend than a smart person. An idiot will be grateful and content unlike the smart person who only knows hypocrisy and greed. 

Suddenly, the palanquin stopped. "Boss." Shang He\'s people called from outside the palanquin. 

Shang He lifted the curtain. "What is it?" he asked. 

"We\'ve reached the fork." His subordinate answered. One road leads to the Drunken Moon City while the other road leads to the Fire Dragon City. "Which way shall we take?" he asked. 

Meng Gui also heard their conversation. But, before he could speak to make Shang He leave his palanquin, Shang He spoke. Shang He is faster than him. 

"Drunken Moon City." Shang He answered. Before Meng Gui and his subordinate could react, he already lowered the curtain, leaving only him and Meng Gui inside the palanquin to stare at each other. 

"What are you planning?" Meng Gui asked in a low voice. 

Meanwhile, Shang He\'s subordinate, who asked Shang He the question and heard his answer, froze. 

"Da ge, what\'s wrong?" the others asked him. 

He stiffly turned to them, his whole body shaking from fright. "Boss… he\'s actually serious towards leader Meng?"

Earlier, he thought Shang He was just provoking Meng Gui. He never thought Shang He\'s words are actually him revealing his intentions towards Meng Gui!
