Shi QingXuan wasn't much stunned. He didn't expect any soft expression either. So he played dumb, put on his best innocent face and said, "And what I don't dare? I saved you. So you own me your life. I can do whatever I want to do to you."

Hearing these words, even normal people would feel angry and He Xuan felt like he was on fire. He immediately flipped their position.

Now Shi QingXuan was under him and he was on top of him. He Xuan glared at the person, "Do you think I'm fool? I am already dead."

Shi QingXuan didn't look much surprised rather in a bit pain because of the hard grasping in his hand. He Xuan pressed his hand very strongly.

Shi QingXuan obviously knew it was a ghost. He had no heartbeat, no pulse.

"Do you think I'm fool? Of course I know you're dead. But I saved your soul right now you moron. If I didn't know you are ghost then why would I give you spiritual power instead of normal medic?"

Now hearing Shi QingXuan's statement. He was a bit taken aback. He didn't actually think that much on the matter.

He just thought this person was here to hurt him. Of course he recognised Shi QingXuan. He couldn't even forget his voice, so what Shi QingXuan was in very poor and messy statement, it was still that pretty face of Shi QingXuan that would laugh time to time without any reason.

"You ... you helped me?"

"So what if I did?"

"Why?" He Xuan was absolutely stunned. Then it clicked on his mind! Although Shi QingXuan had seen his real face once, there was no cuts then. Because of course he had hide those ugly scars back on the time when he took revenge on Shi Wudu. Besides, Shi QingXuan wasn't on right state of mind back then. He was too scared to even look at him and kept apologising. So naturally Shi QingXuan didn't recognise him!

"Why what? It is what I should have done. You were lying on my road as if your soul would scatter right then and now so I brought you here. Now get over off from me "

Shi QingXuan actually didn't have much strength to fight. His one arm and leg was broken after all.

"How could you give me spiritual power? I can feel you don't have any golden core."

"Of course it's not from me. I fed you just some pill of spiritual power. It's from ghost king himself so no need to think lowly of it. Now will you please get off from me? I have already one broken leg and arm and now if you strangle me like this I'll probably break my remaining leg and arm too."

Hearing his words He Xuan finally came to his mind and noticed those lifeless leg and arm. He was actually very shocked. He never broke Shi QingXuan's arm or leg. Then how could he have broken arm and leg? What accident happened? Why was he so filthy?

He Xuan thought Xie Lian helped him as he was his one of the good friends.

He Xuan slowly loosen his grip. And moved over from Shi QingXuan's body. Shi QingXuan couldn't sit up the next very moment. His body was pretty weak. And now after that deathly grip and strangle he needed a moment to catch his breath.

He Xuan was about to sigh a breath of relief he remembered those cut on his face. He hid those scars in his hand as a reflex and after a moment he was about to put spiritual power to hid them but he felt a hand softly grasp him.

"Why are you hiding those?" He heard a soft voice.

"Then should I display them?" He Xuan asked in a dark voice.

Shi QingXuan sat up and said with a little soft smile, "Sure they are ugly. Very ugly. But don't let them get into your inner beauty. Although you weren't born with them and somehow they represents your failure and weakness, they also show how much you've been through and how much you've survived. It shows life hasn't been easy for you but you still are hanging on there with pride. It shows you were in bottom once but you still stood up for yourself and you've come so far. Then why hiding those? Even if they represents your mistake it also represents yourself and if someone doesn't except those than remember they actually didn't ever except you. May be you were just a one time thing for them." Shi QingXuan felt like he said much more than he should have so lightly coughed.

He Xuan looked at him with blank expression and said again, "I'm dead already."

"But your soul is still here. Do you know how many people gave up on their soul? To escape life and fate? You're not one of them. Instead of looking how many surpassed you why not look how much you surpassed?"

"Is it a bullshit shop?"

"Hu?"

"You talk so much bullshit." He Xuan was about to apply spiritual power again so Shi QingXuan said quickly, "Fine. You don't have to show them. But don't waste your spiritual power on those. It's a waste. Let me help you."

He Xuan glared at him but Shi QingXuan completely ignored his looks and got up.

He started rambling through a very old and scattered bag.

"Got it! Never thought it would come handy," Shi QingXuan exclaimed in cheery voice and walked to He Xuan.

He extended his hand and He Xuan noticed he was holding a one sided mask.

"It was a broken mask and I had picked it up. However I worked on it a bit and it looks quite good looking one sided mask. Put it on. Don't waste your spiritual power." Shi QingXuan shook that stuff few times in front of He Xuan.

He Xuan slowly took that mask and wore it.

Shi QingXuan suddenly felt back without any reason. His face pale.

"What happened?" He Xuan was alarmed.

After a few moment, Shi QingXuan slowly spoke, "Nothing, I just had a pain in my leg. Nothing hahahaha."

He Xuan felt relieved. He thought Shi QingXuan might have recognised him.

He took a good look again at Shi QingXuan.

"Why don't you ask my identify?" As a normal mortal of course after saving someone you need to ask his identity or at least name.

"Oh right! Haha, I was so busy at chatting. What's your name? Where are you from? How old are you? Where are your families? Are they alive or dead? Are you married or single?"

"Shut up!" He Xuan was extremely irritated hearing this many nonsense question.

Shi QingXuan didn't mind rather laughed hard.

"Then what should I call you?"

He Xuan actually couldn't think of any moment right now which would look a bit natural name. So he said, "I can't remember my name. In fact I can't remember anything from my life."

"Ah! It's must be pretty common for ghosts. Well no worry I'll come with a good name for you."

After pretending to think very hard Shi QingXuan exclaimed, "How about we call you,Xiao Keai* "

He Xuan had to take a moment to register that sentence in his head. He glared at Shi QingXuan.

"Nonsense," he finally spat out.

"Haha"

"You're right. No one talk nonsense more than Ol' Feng." A few voice rang and Shi QingXuan looked at the direction.

He Xuan also glanced and what he saw made his heart feel squeezed. Is it possible for death people to feel it?

There were many homeless, poor, unlucky, filthy, messy people and they looked no different from Shi QingXuan.

Just what happened to Shi QingXuan to live a life like this?
