Edit: Some mistakes are being fixed. The robe style for the Qingcheng Fu Sect is blue with dark blue motifs and the Wudang Xiong Sect is green with bamboo embroidery.

A young lady in light blue robes embroidered with dark blue flowing clouds came running into a large secluded room. The moment she smelled the scent that wafted out from inside, it made her face pale instantly. The back of her throat burned as her vomit come up. Forcing herself not to vomit, she swallowed hard. She stuttered to relay the news, "S-Sect leader! We've been surrounded on all sides."


Fu Yemu turned around to face her and what she was met with was a baleful smile. Feeling that things weren't right, she retreats a couple of steps back.

Clink.

Her foot had stepped onto a small green object covered in a dark murky liquid. She reaches down and grabs it to examine what it is. Once she identified the object, her hands shook terribly as her eyes widened with horror. The small jade token covered in blood with the words 'Qingchen Fu' on it fell onto the floor.

Her reaction only made the smile on his face deepen. Fu Yemu's eyes curved into crescent-like shapes as a dark glint flashed in his obsidian eyes. Apprehension overtook the cells in her body and the innate prey like instinct was activated.

Whipping her body around, she dashed with only the thoughts of getting as far away from the room as she possibly could. Her heart was beating erratically as fear seeped into the marrow of her bones. But before she could even get five steps away, she heard the sound of a xiao flute playing behind her. The hair on the back of her neck raised and goosebumps broke out all along her body.

Her breathing hitched as her neck is suddenly grabbed from behind. She's then slammed onto the ground in a rough and fierce manner, crushing the bones on her face, neck, and chest.

She coughed up a river worth of the warm crimson liquid and her vision became blurry. Trying to move her limbs so that she could escape, she grunted in exertion but she only able to see strands of black hair before the pitch black darkness consumed her. A loud crack was heard as the young girl's neck was snapped into an unnatural angle.

The shrill sounds of the xiao continued even after the death of the young girl. Followed by it was the sounds of many footsteps.

Fu Yemu's demonic grin became more profound as he strode out of the room, surrounded by a mass of dark yin filled figures.

Standing on the ground at the bottom of the hill. The cultivators looked up to see the grand walls of the Qingcheng Fu Sect. An Zhangyi stood amongst the crowd. His cool limpid eyes were unfathomable like the night sky.

[Host... Fu Yemu has completely turned crazy. (。☉౪ ⊙。)]

[Did he slaughter everyone inside?]

Bao Bao rubbed the side of his arms and hid behind An Zhangyi. He hates worlds with creatures like this! It was the bane of his existence. Hadn't they had enough from their third world? Bao Bao swore in his heart that someone loved to play with him, as they sent him and his host here. Even if he tried to act calm in front of his sweet baby, he was secretly pissing in his pants whenever he got close to those corpses. Thinking about the task that he was sent on, he wanted to cry but sadly had none to spare.

Bao Bao answered in a shaky voice.

[N-No. He was forced to killed ten percent of the disciples that fought back.]

An Zhangyi raised his eyebrows.

[Are you alright, Bao Bao? Your voice is shaking.]

Biting the bottom of his lips, Bao Bao's face turned into a bright shade of red that almost seemed as if it would drip blood. How embarrassing is this?! He wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but he quickly tossed this thought. He needed to be here for his baby.

Bao Bao coughed.

[It's nothing. Should I go back and check on the situation, host?]

An Zhangyi could clearly tell that they were deliberately diverging the topic and complied with it.

[En. Make sure to have your eyes on Fu Yemu's location and what is happening around him at all times.]

Bao Bao bobbed his head and drifted further back into the crowd of cultivators. Finding the person he was searching for, he poked at their cheeks and gave a peck on their lip before running away with reddened ears. He didn't know when he had eaten the galls of the leopard to act so audacious. Even though he knew that his lover wouldn't be able to feel his touch at the moment, he still insisted on being intimate. He had missed them very much and felt that centuries had gone by before they were able to meet again. It would've been perfect if they were able to spend time with each other, but they couldn't because of some lunatic that had a few loose screws in their head.

Xiong Teyi touched the two spot where a little phantom bunny had eaten his tofu. A not-so-right grin appeared on his face as he thought about pushing the little phantom-tofu-eating-bunny underneath him and making them cry.

Whack!

The back of his head was smacked by a heavy hand, "Grinning like a fool, do you wish to die here, younger brother?"

Xiong Teyi corrected his devious expression and scratched the back of his head, "Older brother, you don't have to hit me. I was just... Thinking about things."

Xiong Jifeng's stormy expression worsened. His voice was exceedingly cold as he asked, "You were thinking?"

Xiong Teyi nodded and earned another smack on the head. Xiong Jifeng's chilling voice we're like daggers aimed at him, "Then think some more. You mind as well prepare a coffin and grave when we get back, you fool!"

The corner of his eyes twitched. Why did he have to transmigrated into this body? He had to keep to the original's attitude, but that only brought more problems for him. Xiong Teyi begged his brother, "Oh no! Older brother, please spare me! I'll be diligent from now on I promise."

Xiong Jifeng kicked his butt, "Promise my ass! How many times have you promised me before?"

Xiong Teyi wanted to roll over and just lie still at this point. He inwardly slapped his forehead but kept his facade together on the outside. Xiong Teyi's face turned serious, "I swear this is the last time that I will ask of this from you, older brother!"

He raised his hand and had three fingers up as a gesture to swear an oath. Xiong Jifeng only snorted at this and turned away, no longer chiding or striking him.

Xiong Teyi sighed and turned back around. He would have to find a way to deal with this brother of his, otherwise little Teyi will never get to experience life and become neglected. He might even become a monk in this world if he doesn't escape from his nagging brother.

His eyes flashed with determination. There was no way that he would neglect that little bunny of his that squeezed him so tight. They had only just arrived and had already jumped into his arm.

Inside of the sect, Bao Bao sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked around. Was someone talking about him behind his back? He frowned. If he found out who it was, he would bite them.
