Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 419 - 391: Social Death
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
Inside the cabin, three disciples from the Thunderous Sect, including the yellow-faced middle-aged man Luo Hong, couldn’t hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.
One might ask, how many ways are there to die in this world?
Death of the body is one, death of the soul is another, and the annihilation of the True Spirit is yet another.
However, for cultivators who possess all sorts of supernatural powers, only the annihilation of the True Spirit can truly be considered death.
But these are merely the conventional ways to die.
As for unconventional ways, what are they? Before this moment, everyone present didn’t exactly know.
Ordinary people generally wouldn’t think about this question.
However, at the entrance of the cabin, at this very moment.
Just when the Feiling Guard’s belt snapped, causing his outer and inner pants to fall down, revealing two white legs, everyone present spontaneously had a thought:
The fourth way of dying.
Dying from embarrassment and shame!
What people didn’t know was that the concept of "dying from embarrassment and shame" had a more fascinating, accurate term in Chen Xu’s original world:
It’s called, social death.
The people inside the cabin couldn’t help but laugh, even Master Hui Jue, who always maintained a solemn and dignified expression, couldn’t help but smile.
She let out a light and soft laugh: "Pfft."
The Feiling Guard at the door felt as if the sky had fallen.
He finally reacted, no longer caring about anything else, grabbing the pants that had dropped to his calves and pulling them up, exclaiming "Ah!" as he turned and rushed away.
Perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, or perhaps because he hadn’t managed to pull his pants up completely.
After running two steps, the Feiling Guard stumbled as his left foot tripped over his right foot.
Bam!
"Ah!"
He cried out as he fell straight to the ground.
His nose hit the floor, almost making him fall into a dog-eating position.
His companion, a step behind, wanted to help him up, but he was so mortified that he refused to continue being embarrassed in front of others.
So he waved away his companion’s hand, struggled to get up from the ground.
Then he covered his face with his sleeve, said nothing, and ran away.
Fortunately, this time his pants didn’t fall again, and he finally displayed the speed a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have, escaping from the cabin corridor like the wind, disappearing in front of everyone.
"Brother Zhang, wait for me!" The other Feiling Guard called after him.
But how could he be stopped?
He could only hurriedly turn back, bowing to Master Hui Jue, and say:
"Master Hui Jue, my Brother Zhang didn’t do it on purpose, he must have been bewitched by some villain, hence the rudeness.
Master Hui Jue, please don’t blame him, and please be extra vigilant of the surroundings. If you notice any signs of that thief, please inform us Feiling Guards.
We at the Flying Star Gate, Feiling Guards, will certainly repay you."
After saying this, he quickly ran off in the direction Brother Zhang disappeared.
Just like that, in a flash, both Feiling Guards vanished.
After the two disappeared, the cabin door was closed, and Master Hui Jue’s expression immediately darkened.
If you now looked at her expression again, where was that hint of amusement from before?
The three disciples next to her couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
One disciple asked, "Uncle-Master, this... why are you looking like this?"
This was asking why Master Hui Jue’s expression didn’t look good.
Master Hui Jue didn’t directly answer but threw the question to the yellow-faced middle-aged Luo Hong and said:
"Did you see anything just now?"
Luo Hong put away his smile and quickly said: "That Feiling Guard is a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, an elite disciple of the Fourth Grade Sect, much stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment.
How could such a person suddenly drop his pants in public?
It must have been an expert secretly casting a spell, causing him harm.
Uncle-Master, could it be that there’s really a thief on this flying boat?"
Master Hui Jue shook her head and said: "The thief is certainly on the flying boat, but the thief is also not only on the flying boat.
The thief... is in people’s hearts.
What I’m worried about is not just the thief, but that the incident of the Feiling Guard’s waistband being cut might be blamed on me."
"What?" Luo Hong was immediately shocked.
After being shocked, he couldn’t help but get a bit angry.
"It wasn’t us who harmed him, how could it be blamed on us?"
But after all, he was no longer an innocent youth, and after saying this angered sentence, Luo Hong’s expression gradually dimmed.
They indeed had a Golden Core Stage cultivator with them, which seemed quite remarkable on the entire flying boat.
But relative to the vast Flying Star Gate, what is a mere Golden Core Stage?
When under the eaves, one must bow their head.
Luo Hong nervously said: "Uncle-Master, what should we do now given the situation?"
Master Hui Jue said: "You go find the captain of the Feiling Guards, offer up half of today’s earnings.
Give away all the remaining Purple Jade Pastries, then sincerely explain today’s situation, stating that neither the pastries nor the earlier incident have anything to do with us."
As she instructed, without waiting for Luo Hong to respond, she suddenly raised her voice slightly, looking around as she said:
"Fellow cultivator, I know you are somewhere here, it was also you who showed a little warning to us and that Feiling Guard just now.
Our disciples acted rashly today and offended you, Hui Jue hereby apologizes.
I’m willing to take out the other half of today’s earnings to return to you.
I hope you are generous and do not blame us."
Her words were spoken assertively, and she glanced around as if sure that someone was indeed there.
This "someone" was naturally not referring to the other disciples of Thunderous Sect, but to an "invisible mysterious person" present!
Luo Hong and the other three were taken aback, not daring to breathe too loudly, only holding their breath and looking around, also imitating Master Hui Jue and glancing around, trying to see something in the air at that moment.
Master Hui Jue’s guess was correct, there was indeed "someone" around at that moment.
That person was naturally Chen Xu.
The reason Brother Zhang from the Feiling Guard had his pants fall, dying socially on the spot, was also because Chen Xu made a move.
But so what?
Although Chen Xu made his move, he did not intend to "show himself."
His goal had already been achieved.
Both to instigate and have some fun, and to warn both the Feiling Guards and Master Hui Jue.
But communicating with smart people has this advantage; he doesn’t even need to speak.
Just a slight move, hinting at stopping when enough is enough.
The other party immediately grasped the situation and responded accordingly.
But Chen Xu had no intention of taking up their offer, even though they gave such a tempting condition.
He didn’t want the Qi Radiance Pill, not because he saw wealth as dirt, but because he knew what he could and couldn’t accept.
Chen Xu smiled slightly, ignoring their calls and glances.
He moved his steps lightly and walked out of the closed cabin silently and invisibly.
In the meantime, the cabin door remained closed.
But it seemed as if Chen Xu wasn’t crossing a real door, but was instead crossing through a space of air.
This was the wonderful effect brought about by the displacement of reality and illusion.
Chen Xu had previously been wholeheartedly focused on growing his life soul, eager to get rid of this state.
But now, he actually started to enjoy this state a little.
He had come to understand many mystical truths from it, vaguely combining with his Divine Power Netherworld, as if peering into the mysteries of space in this world.
Speaking of Netherworld, one cannot avoid mentioning the effects of this power in the Xuantian Star Realm.
Perhaps because the Xuantian Star Realm lacks a Netherworld, Chen Xu couldn’t directly wield the Netherworld here.
But
