"Gou Fung," calls Gu Xian.
"You wanna die?" taunts Gao Feng.
His name is Gao Feng. Gao means High. Feng means wind. He is the heir of Gao family. One of rich families in this country.
Gu Xian always calls him Gou Fung. Gou means Dog. Fung means Crazy.
Gao Feng mocks, "You look awful, salted bug. Someone stole your money?"
There are dark circles around his eyes. He couldn't sleep well although the system kept saying Yin Mo is fine.
Gu is a family name. It could also mean worm or bug used in cultivation. Xian in his name isn't mean salty. Gao Feng just makes it up.
One becomes mad dog.
The other becomes salted bug.
The two of them always quarrel since their first meeting three years ago.
Someone stole Gao Feng's wallet in marketplace. He mistaken Gu Xian as the pickpocket thief. They fought many rounds without a winner.
In the end, they traded insults like veteran old ladies. Those silly nicknames were created in the quarrels.
Gu Xian stares the sky. It's cracking. The secret realm should be opening soon.
I have no time to bicker with a mad dog. Yin Mo... I hope he's okay...
Once entering the realm he won't be able to come out again. Not until it's closes three months from now.
Gao Feng ignores Gu Xian. The guy is a talented cultivator with a smelly gutter mouth. He could perform trash talk and angers you to death.
The secret realm is finally open. Cultivators in Qi refining stage roam in like a swarm of bugs. Five hundreds people have entered the realm. Don't know how many would get out.
Gu Xian enters the realm along with other fellow disciples. He ends up alone. The teleportation will end up in random place.
Where am I?
Gu Xian looks around him. Many herbs are scattered around his feet like ordinary grasses. Yin Mo would be thrilled to see this place.
His soul power isn't suitable to uproot them. He better not touch them.
A cultivator points a sword toward him.
"Leave the herbs. Or I shall kill you," warns him.
Gu Xian ignores him and simply walks away. Maybe because he gives up too easily. The lone cultivator must think he is a weakling. Easy to bully.
The cultivator threats, "Leave your items behind. Or I shall kill you."
Gu Xian sneers. This is robbery at broad daylight.
He draws his blade and asks, "Say it again?"
The cultivator attacks first. Gu Xian evades and kicks him back. His counterattack only enraged him. The cultivator attacks more viciously. Each strike is meant to kill.
Gu Xian slashes few times and the clothes shredded. Leaving only an underwear behind.
The sword is pointed to his neck. The cultivator gulps. Regretting to underestimate his foe. Someone from Holy sword Sect won't be a weakling. It's a famous Sect after all.
Gu Xian asks, "Money? Hand it over."
The cultivator grits his teeth when he offers him his wallet.
Gu Xian takes the money and throws the empty wallet away. He smirks like a cat with full belly.
He mocks, "Thanks for the donation."
The cultivator is almost died from anger. He squats down and begins to uproot the herbs. He better take them away before another person arrives here.
There is no law in the secret realm. One could rob and kill without being known. Gu Xian kept encountering greedy cultivators who tried to rob him. He ended up with a lot of money.
Gu Xian smirks when he touches his storage ring. It was a gift from his Master before he came here.
He could buy a lot of materials with the money robbed from others. Maybe he will have a great leap in crafting.
Few cultivators have spotted Gu Xian. Left hand is holding a rusty dagger. Right hand is holding a normal long sword.
A cultivator points at him and shouts, "The great robber! Run for your life!"
Gu Xian chuckles. He has robbed money, pills, talismans and other valuables from wanna be robbers.
Most cultovators fear him now. He has robbed more than a hundred cultivators. He never robbed anyone who didn't attack him first.
The great robber finally meets an old cultivator. His foe points a sword to him.
"Hand over everything and your death shall be a quick one," threatens him.
"Oh, yeah? Try it," taunts Gu Xian.
They fight for many rounds. Dirts and stones are tossed around them.
Gu Xian got slashed on his chest. He retaliates with all his might. This cultivator is serious in killing him.
He slashes with his long sword. Defends with his rusty dagger. He stabs his foe using it.
Most foes think the dagger is old and useless. They never thought it's super sharp one.
The fight ends when the dagger slashes his throat. Blood spurts and tainted the ground. His eyes are staring blankly to the sky.
Gu Xian stares the cultivator with cold eyes. His hands are shaking a lot. He has injured many cultivators since he got in here. It's the first time he ever killed someone since his Transmigration.
Mom, Dad, I killed someone...
He is from modern world. Killing another human left a deep regret in his mind.
"Host, you will be dead if you pitied him," says 520.
"I love you."
"Stop mocking my name. I'm not Chinese Internet slang."
Gu Xian chuckles softly. He hates this system. In the end, it's the only one who accompanied him everywhere.
He collects the storage ring from the dead man. He takes his sword too.
There is no time to bury him. Gu Xian simply cremated him using his soul fire. Leaving nothing but charred body.
Gu Xian sighs. He wishes to go back home. No more killing or harming others. Only killing zombies or monsters in online games.
A loving family. A silly best friend. A pretty fiancee.
Life was good for him back then. His father was a billionaire. His good name. He had it all. Money, good looks, loving family and dazzling future ahead of him.
My name was Sean. Not Gu Xian. I just wanna go back home...
Gu Xian leaves the spot soon afterwards.
Someone walks out from behind a tree. He stares down to the charred body.
Gao Feng snorts. He has underestimated the salted bug. It seems his cultivation has risen again. He might be in late stage Qi refining.
It's good. People kept praising him as a genius in cultivation world. He needs a good rival to sharpen his skills.
Young Master Gao is aloof character. He has no friend because he deems no one is worthy of his time. Like a kaolin flower on top of mountain.
Gao Feng has left too. Some cultivators have seen him from far. When they saw the charred body, they thought Gao Feng killed him.
Rumors spread in the secret realm.
Beware of Great Robber. He will rob you to the underwear.
Beware of Young Master Gao. He will kill you and burn your dead body to crisp.

Me: There is no CCTV here. That's why rumors are often believed.
Gao Feng: I've been framed! That salted bug is no good fellow
