Chapter 60 Red sea season

"this is Shuzan fault. He's the instigator." Muzin said as he quickly sort his weapons and make the innocent face. It have nothing to do with me.

"agreed. Let's deduct his magic stone for next month." Lucis nod crossing his arm feeling completely innocent like he's being falsely accused.

"what?!" Shuzan shout, a vein popped on his forehead. "As you can see, she ran away because of both of your idea. I've said it that cultivating need time but you penguin just have to prove that you can do what I did for a hundred of years easily. You damn snowflake!"

Lucis look at Muzin and let a small cough feeling awkward and guilty. He's too inpatient as their discussion getting heated and drag Suyi into it. He's getting influenced by Muzin competing nature these couple weeks.

"brother, i... actually feeling a bit drunk that's why I behave like that. Calm yourself, I'll give you my newest magic tool." Muzin smile awkwardly, Shuzan look really angry and it scared him.

"indeed, that alcohol is too strong. My head! I think I drunk too much." Lucis pinch his forehead while wiping the cold sweat at the same time.

"You both hairy nose brat! Hump!" Shuzan snort then he flew back to his cave, furious at the youngster treating him like a small child.

. . .

Later at night.

Lucis enter the mansion after returning from his underwater cave visiting Diner. He scan the mansion and saw Suyi reading book in the living room calmly with a cup of tea.

"ehem." Lucis cough and peek at Suyi that completely ignoring him.

"i wonder if there's anything to eat? I'm hungry after all the work I did today." Lucis sit in front of Suyi and pick a random book that laying on the table.

". . ."

"By the way, how's your brother training?"

". . ."

"Ehem!"

". . ."

Lucis suddenly feel depressed being ignored by Suyi. She always greet him when he returned to the mansion but today, the temperature especially cold for some reason.

"Suyi..." Lucis peek at Suyi face and trying to read her expression. She always look cold so it's pretty easy to notice the slightest change in her expression.

"what?!" Suyi shift her gaze and glare at Lucis like she want to eat him.

"Err... I'm sorry." Lucis smile wryly. before he realized, Suyi getting fierce every day.

"my leg almost exposed to everyone in the village because of you, how am I gonna face them next time?" Suyi said and her hair fluttering about like there's a magical wind blowing.

"its..." Lucis was just about to make an excuse but everything he thought suddenly disappeared with just a simple snort from Suyi.

"im sorry, it's my fault." Lucis look down dejectedly but deep inside him, he blame Shuzan and Muzin for bragging so professionally that even him start acting like that.

"hump!" Suyi shift his sitting posture and face the other way pouting.

Lucis rack his brain finding a word to talk about but he never been good at socializing in the first place.

After a bit more awkward moment, Lucis finally surrender and walk away returning to his room dejectedly.

. . .

Early next morning, Lucis wake up early and drag Muzin and Shuzan to his mansion for breakfast hoping to share the blame with his two gang member.

"did you have some new delicious food or something?" Muzin asked thinking about the meal he have in the mansion before, it's delicious.

"Talk about that later, I have something important I need to discuss with you two brat." Shuzan said as he sit on the dining chair looking at the empty table and Subin sleeping literally on top of the table just across him.

"look at this." Muzin said as he pout his mouth towards Subin then shift his gaze at Sukong. Sukong feel really nervous staring at Shuzan. This is real immortal, he have this indescribable aura that make him want to bow down at him unconsciously.

"They will be our clan future disciples." Lucis said proudly. He have trained them following the modern athlete schedule.

Shuzan shake his head feeling headache then Suyi suddenly came with a trolley of food. The food she prepared is just simple bread and meat with a hot milk tea.

Shuzan and Muzin nod with a warm smile. Having a beauty serving them food once in a while feels great. This is exactly how elder like them should be treated.

"Greetings to Uncle Muzin and Shuzan." Suyi bow with a charming smile.

"good, good." Shuzan brush his beard with a proud smile. Back straightened and head held high, taking the senior pose quickly.

"Good morning Suyi." Lucis feel great that Suyi finally smile again and act as usually.

". . ."

No response from Suyi. Lucis let out a small cough feeling awkward.

Suyi gracefully went to Subin side and smack his head which surprised Shuzan and Muzin greatly. Where's the polite and graceful young lady earlier?

"what? Who?!" Subin raise his head with furious face. He was just about to beat the legendary dragon with his overpowered sword in his dream when he suddenly getting knock from behind.

"what did I say about manner?" Suyi asked and the temperature within the dining room suddenly fall sharply and the tea in Lucis hand suddenly went cold.

Gulp!

Sukong sweating furiously. From the look of it, his turn will come soon since the incident yesterday still not settled. Suyi never the kind that would forget his mistake without punishment.

Shuzan suddenly went full polite attitude as he look at his ice tea, new invention by Suyi apparently.

"By the way Shuzan, what did you want to talk about?" Lucis asked trying to break the silence threatening aura that especially aiming at him for some reason.

"about that, we're just in time." Shuzan said as he sip on his ice tea, surprisingly it taste good.

"My contact on the outside world just send me a message last night saying that the red sea season will come early next year."

"Is that true? I need to make a trip there myself this time, I missed last year." Muzin said excitedly.

"what is this red Sea season, brothers?" Lucis look at Shuzan and Muzin. Is this some kind of endless mountains event?

"are you living under a rock or what? Red sea. sea." Muzin asked with mocking tone.

"sea? I remember you said the sea is dangerous even the beach." Lucis look at Muzin, his personal Wikipedia.

"yes, but during this session all the powerful monster will retreat to the deep sea and the couple hundred kilometer from the coast will be devoid of any powerful monster." Muzin said. It's basically a hunting season.

"If we're lucky, we can catch some Void clam." Shuzan added feeling more excited than Muzin. from the way he talked, he's regular costumer to these red sea.

Lucis thought about it for a moment but he never heard of this void clam and there's nothing about it mentioned in the red jade either.

"what is this void clam? This is the first time I heard of this food."

"Food?!" Shuzan said raising his voice like he's about to slap the living out of Lucis.

"Brother, it's easy for you since you have that space power but for us, without the storage pearl we have to bring all our stuff inside our bag." Muzin said as he furrowed his brow and shake his head. He feel like Lucis being sarcastic to them.

'so this is the magic storage in this world.' Lucis look down and nod. He thought everyone is using something like his space magic for storage.

"there's also that Blue shark fin. They said that it can be use to strengthen your water element."

'fin! Even this world hunting shark for their fin!" Lucis was shocked, a dangerous sea full with monster still have shark? What rank it have among the predator within the sea?

"but there's a bad news, the BlueCloud Clan will join this time so we have to be careful." Shuzan eyes is like he have a grudge against the BlueCloud when he said the clan name.

"what's wrong with that clan?"

Muzin and Shuzan look at each other then shift their gaze at Lucis.

"you're living close to the BlueCloud Clan and you didn't know what's wrong with them?" Muzin said. He's from the far off west of endless mountains and even him know this clan like the back of his hand apparently.

"you will be robbed clean if they catch you. This is happened every year no matter what clan you came from." Shuzan said.

"that's one thing and can still be tolerated but.." Muzin put his cup on the table with serious expression. "they actually use this opportunity to train their disciple by hunting rough cultivator like us. Every year, they always use people like us in every opportunity that appear in the endless mountains as a living target!" Muzin said with anger.

Lucis look down and fall deep in his own though. He thought that this is normal since that's what the novel and comic usually describe how the fight between cultivator going on but from how both Muzin and Shuzan act, it seems that it's unusual even among the cultivator society.
