Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1450: Farewell Today; When to Return?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Since the Honor Demon Zong Yuankai showed up, nobody in the Qing-Yun Realm was able to ascend to the upper realm anymore. The strongest cultivator was a cultivator in the dao of demons, who had reached the limitations of the world and used a special demonic altar formation to absorb the energy from the world. More than that, he actually tried to activate the Gate to the Great Demon that connected to the Demon’s Realm and turned the Qing-Yun Realm into an accessory to the Demon’s Realm. How could anybody be able to ascend to the upper realm while the Honor Demon was doing all the evil business in the same world?

Now that the Honor Demon was dead, and the dao of demons was no longer in the Qing-Yun Realm, the gate to the upper realm was open again for the cultivators in the Qing-Yun Realm.

Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue looked at Ye Xiao in the sky who was strong and tough, and they felt so excited.

Ye Xiao’s body was rotating in the sky fast. The heavenly trial thunders had wounded him quite a lot, but he was healing fast that everybody could see the wounds disappearing with their eyes. Inside his body, the golden core in purple color was cracked, but it was recovering after a lot of energy was poured into it.

In fact, the golden core had grown a little bigger...

The demonic qi in between the sky and the earth was all gone. The world had returned to peace. Spiritual energy had been rushing into Ye Xiao’s body like howling tide. Even though Ye Xiao had been improving in cultivation at an unbelievable speed, this energy that kept rushing into his body was incredibly enormous for him...

He absorbed the energy so fast as if the entire Qing-Yun Realm was coping with Ye Xiao at the moment. No matter how much energy and spiritual qi Ye Xiao needed, the world just provided enough for him. All Ye Xiao needed to do was to suck in as much energy as he was pleased to!

Being supported by all the incredible energy, the golden core in purple color inside Ye Xiao suddenly cracked open, fell into pieces after rotating for a while... Other than cracking into pieces, it was more like blossoming like a fabulous flower, which was wonderful.

Ye Xiao didn’t feel any pain inside. Instead, he felt extremely good about it, like his body was filled up by some raging power.

The golden core had cracked apart into eight pieces, and then there was a cloud of purple qi rising up in chaos. The purple qi kept flying around inside his dantian, absorbing all the spiritual qi into itself.

The world kept driving over the enormous spiritual qi to Ye Xiao, but the golden core actually still didn’t get enough energy, so it started to absorb the great purple qi in the Boundless Space into the purple chaotic qi of the golden core!

– Boom! –

Ye Xiao felt a massive explosion inside his own head.

It seemed something had broken, or something had abruptly appeared...

All in all, it was a feeling which was so mysterious and strange.

When Ye Xiao looked out for the first sight, he felt that the world was so beautiful in the eyes. Every flower, every tree, every grass, every piece of rock was so clean, peaceful, and adorable...

He had risked his own life to fight the Honor Demon for the world. Now as he saw the scene of the world, he felt it worthwhile!

His heart was so clear and bright, but it was blurry inside his dantian. In the dantian, a small person abruptly showed up.

The dantian was always only a place where the spiritual energy was stored. Even the golden core was a weird existence. How come there was a person this time?

The small person was only as tall as a finger, but he had everything a human being should have. In fact, it was obviously a downsized Ye Xiao himself!

Ye Xiao saw inside his own dantian and got shocked by it. He suddenly lost thought of what to do next.

He blinked, and the small person in the dantian actually blinked after him...

It was alive!

Ye Xiao looked at the small Ye Xiao inside his own body who could even blink, he was frightened and his heart was in chaos at this moment. [What the hell? Am I pregnant?]

[If I am pregnant, who is this Little Xiao’s father?]

[Pah! I am the father! Of course, I am the father!]

[Hmm... Who is the other? Who is it? Who? Who could it be?]

[Pah! Oh damn it... What am I thinking about?]

Ye Xiao quite despised himself for having such ridiculous thoughts. It humiliated himself, but also inspired himself at the same time... What was happening to him was recorded in the ancient books in the Cold Moon Palace. It was Infant After Broken Core, wasn’t it?

However, the theory of Infant After Broken Core described a special level in cultivation which was even higher than the limitation in the Qing-Yun Realm, even higher than the level of ascending to the upper realm. There was nobody in the late tens of thousands of years who had ever reached such an incredible level. In fact, the last one who did was from the ancient era, countless centuries back to the history! It was some super dreamlike cultivation level in the world!

Ye Xiao checked inside himself again and again to make sure nothing went wrong about his body. Aside from that, he was sure that he got massively improved, so he took a breath out of relief and landed on the ground to see the others.

People all felt happy for Ye Xiao that he had safely gotten through the heavenly trial thunders, and they all thought that Ye Xiao was going to rise to the Human Realm Upon Heavens immediately. However, they were surprised to see him getting down back to them. They were shocked.

“Chongxiao, what happened? Why are you not ascending to the upper realm?” Lei Dadi touched his own head, and he was utterly confused.

Lei Dadi and the other two great elders were Ye Xiao’s masters, so he could ask whatever he wanted to, even though it was the question that the others didn’t dare to ask. Therefore, Lei Dadi asked him for all the others!

“Master, please don’t worry. I feel it. I have felt the way toward the greatness in cultivation. If I want to go, I can go any time I want. There is no limitation on the time to ascend.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “In fact, that is quite a good thing for me. As we all know, we have no idea what the world beyond us is like at all. It may be good, but may also be dangerous. This is not the most important point though, because what matters is that I don’t know when to meet you guys again after I leave... Therefore, I have to do this. I have to say goodbye.”

Lei Da nodded, and he looked pretty glad to hear it. He said, “That’s true. That’s the right thing to do. Let’s go back to the sect right now. Cold Moon Palace will hold a great feast for all heroes in the world! We must celebrate your success before you go!”

Xue Danru and the Moon Queen both pursed their lips.

[That old cunning fox... He wants to seize this opportunity to bring honor to the Cold Moon Palace... That is all...]

It was difficult to imagine how the Cold Moon Palace would earn a great reputation in the Qing-Yun Realm and rise up to an unbelievably high position among all sects in the world, just because Ye Xiao was such a world-shocking legend in the Qing-Yun Realm!

The Cold Moon Palace would very likely become the world’s greatest sect for a long time!

Nobody would dare to challenge its position!

The rise of the Cold Moon Palace was unstoppable.

There was no hard feelings in the hearts of the other people who also survived the war, but they were a little jealous for sure. Nobody ever thought of stopping the Cold Moon Palace to rise at all. The world had just been saved. The demons were wiped out. These people had just survived death. It was the most enjoyable moment in everybody’s life. The Cold Moon Palace was a righteous sect who fought side by side with all the others in the war...

They shouldn’t have hate in the heart out of jealousy, should they?

Besides... people in their sects were going to ascend to the upper realm as well...

Ascending to the upper realm seemed to be a legend, a myth, when people talked about it in the past. However, for the next coming future, more and more people were going to do it, springing up in large numbers!

Ye Xiao went over to chat with the others. The Moon Queen looked at Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue with a hint of concern in the eyes. [That is such a great son over there... Are you sure you don’t want him anymore? Come on. Even though there was a tiny problem between you and him, I believe there is a way to sort things out perfectly. Don’t you think? You have risked your lives to come here to help him in the war. Are you sure you don’t want to see him?]

Everybody was watching.

Ye Xiao walked over, while Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue walked up to him. The three of them met each other.

They looked at each other in the eyes, and then Yue Gongxue reached out her shaking hands after struggling for a while in her own heart. She held him in the arms. None of them said a word.

They truly had no idea what to say anymore.

The hug had explained a lot!

The Moon Queen had tears in the eyes. She could finally take a relief now.

...

The war against the demons was finished. All the sects worked together to properly take care of the aftermath of the cruel war, including making consolation and compensation for the families who had lost their loved ones in the war. Han Bingxue, Li Wuliang, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were in charge of supervision.

Ye Xiao and the others all left.

Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue had returned to the Oracle District after saying goodbye to everybody.

“He is my Xiao Xiao.” Yue Gongxue had been silent for a long time on the way home, but in the end, she spoke with determination.

“He is indeed, our Xiao Xiao! My son, Ye Nantian’s son, will never be bullied!” Ye Nantian looked pleased in the face.

...

“Lord Monarch, where are you going?” Wenren Chuchu caught up with the others in haste.

Wenren Chuchu’s face was a little pale, because she was not recovered yet from the battle against the demons. She had been injured quite severely.

“I am thinking about heading back to the Land of Han-Yang.” Ye Xiao frankly said, “There are brothers of mine in the Land of Han-Yang. I am leaving the Qing-Yun Realm now, so I have to go back and see them before I leave. After all, the Human Realm Upon Heavens is a totally different world to the Qing-Yun Realm. I don’t think it will still be this easy for me to return to the lower realm as I wish.”

Wenren Chuchu stopped, and then warmly smiled. “I see. You need to focus on your personal business. I guess I will just go back to the Misty Cloud Palace.”

She blandly smiled and said, “From now on, I will stay in seclusion and try my best to get to the level of ascending. I believe it won’t take long for me to ascend to the upper realm someday.”

Ye Xiao looked at the smart and strong lady, laughed and said, “Great! Then we will meet again in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!”

There was a hint of expectation in Wenren Chuchu’s eyes, and she stared at Ye Xiao, said, “Ye Xiao, when we meet up again in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, we probably are going to be in the same level. You should be careful. You should work harder. Or else I will surpass you, and you will be disgraced...”

Ye Xiao laughed loudly and said, “No, no, no. I won’t feel disgraced. The path to greatness in cultivation is lonely. One more opponent, and there will be one more inspiration. Competition produces impetus. It is never a disgrace to me! I will wait for you up there!”

Wenren Chuchu’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “It is a deal then!”

Then she said no more words, only flew up like a soft piece of pure white cloud moving away.

[We will meet again in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!]

[He will wait for me!]

[Is he looking forward to meeting me again? Does he really want to wait for me?]

Wenren Chuchu had been moving a far distance, yet she still couldn’t stop thinking about Ye Xiao and the word he said...

All that she cared about was to meet the man again someday in the future! She wanted it deeply in her heart!

...

“Let’s go.”

Ye Xiao said.

His eyes were full of an indescribable feeling of him missing the old days. “Let’s go back and pay her a visit, the other homeland of mine.”

Jun Yinglian, Xuan Bing, Zhao Pingtian, Ning Biluo, and Liu Changjun were staying with him.

Li Wuliang had followed Xue Danru back to her sect, the Ice Cloud Palace. Han Bingxue had gone home. The handsome man, Han, was the only one among them, who had a family of his own. After all, he and the others would break the sky and embrace the heavenly trial thunder just like Ye Xiao did, so he had to go home and made proper arrangement for his family.

Xuan Bing had sent a letter back to the Misty Cloud Palace to inform the leaders of the sect. It said, “The war against the demons is finished. I have done a great part in the battle, and I have reached fullness in cultivation. I will stay with only myself in seclusion to sprint for the last step. Once I reach the upper level, I will ascend to the upper realm soon. It will be a great honor for me, for the sect, also for the world!”

The valedictory speech of Xuan Bing made everybody in the Misty Cloud Palace who survived the war over think a lot.

As every member of the sect knew that the world’s most powerful female cultivator, the great elder Xuan Bing didn’t participate in the battle against the demons. A lot of sects had made their complaints about it during the war. However, perhaps the ladies at Misty Cloud Palace were so powerful, or they were just so lucky, that the Misty Cloud Palace had lost the least people in the union of all sects in the battle.

Among the people of the Misty Cloud Palace who had joined the battles, their prime master Ying Geyin and Wenren Chuchu were the only two people who were powerful enough to stand in the first league this time. However, neither of them had faced the Honor Demon. All in all, the Misty Cloud Palace contributed the least to the battle against the demons. In the message from the great elder Xuan Bing, it showed that Xuan Bing had fought her part in the battle, and she seemed to have done a great contribution. That was why she said she had done a great part in the battle!

Then there came with the problem. Only a few people who were known to make great contribution to the battle, and the great Elder Xuan Bing wasn’t one of them.

There was an answer for it though. Xuan Bing said that she was close to reach the level of ascending now, which meant she had reached the top of cultivation. In another word, she was one of the several people who had done the greatest efforts in the fight for sure!

The answer was there! It was obvious!

There had been a lot of questions in people’s hearts, and these questions were mostly solved after what Xuan Bing said in the last message!

In fact, Xuan Bing regretted when she had just sent out the message.

When Ye Xiao left with her, and she went with him as his maid, Bing’er, the ladies from the Misty Cloud Palace looked at her with weird looks in the eyes...

When the Honor Demon was killing their people in the fight, Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing both did their best to protect their people. Xuan Bing was only second to Ye Xiao in cultivation power in the union, so she definitely had made a great effort in this job. However, humans always had a selfish motive. Xuan Bing had been protecting her own people in the Misty Cloud Palace over the others. Perhaps, it would be fine if she only did it once or twice, but she had chosen to protect people from the Misty Cloud Palace pacifically in a long time during the fight. How could the disciples from the Misty Cloud Palace think over it?

The possibility they finally got in mind now explained everything that had confused them! Whatever about Bing’er that seemed odd during the fight was reasonable now!

Besides, that message seemed to be the last word she was going to say to her sect before she left! It was all clearly revealed! Everybody knew what the truth was now!

Xuan Bing’s face was red for a long time.

[This is so embarrassing...]

[I must be out of my mind... Why would I write that letter? That is not the last word of me... That is evidence of me being somebody else...]

...

Nobody talked anymore. Ye Xiao was heading back to the Land of Han-Yang with the other several great cultivators.

Hadn’t it been closed, the tunnel connected the Qing-Yun Realm and the Land of Han-Yang? Other than that, weren’t these people, Ye Xiao and the others, all beyond the cultivation limitation of the Land of Han-Yang? Wouldn’t they destroy the low-level world, the Land of Han-Yang, if all these incredibly powerful figures all entered that realm?

In fact, these limits only applied on low level cultivators including those who hadn’t reached the top of the Dao Origin Stage. For Ye Xiao and the others, there weren’t be those problems, because they were already at a level that allowed them to return to nature. If they chose to lower themselves down, they could be as weak as normal people.

In fact, Master Bai, Wan, Xiu, and Lin Wuxie were all beyond the Dao Origin Stage. They were incredibly powerful, but they were doing fine in the Land of Han-Yang. Besides, Meng Huaiqing, the most powerful cultivator Ye Xiao had ever met that he still had to look up at even now, who could destroy the entire Land of Han-Yang with just a breath, she once went to the Land of Han-Yang casually. That was exactly the power of self power adjustment!

Comparing to Meng Huaiqing’s self power adjustment, Ye Xiao’s Tittle Phase power, Cage Phase power, Golden Core Phase power were just like the small tricks of a kid!

It was such a good saying that the more you learn, the less you know! The more one learned, the smaller one realized himself to be!

Ye Xiao was an example!

Zhao Pingtian and the other two assassins left immediately when they just landed on the ground of the Land of Han-Yang. They ran faster than crazy rabbits. They were truly native people in this world, and they missed this world much more than Ye Xiao.

“Master, let’s meet up in the capital! We will be there after finishing our own business... Hah hah hah...”

...

Ye Xiao had finally got back to the House of Ye, and he sensed inside the house for a while. What he found had shocked him. [Wait! What? We have left for such a long time. Why is there still people living in our house? There seems to be quite a lot of them inside. What happened?]

Ye Xiao didn’t hesitate, just flew into the house, and only to find the house was such a busy scene inside. There were over a dozen cooks busying in the kitchen, and maids kept coming inside to get the dishes out... They were serving the food to the same place...

A lot of guards were standing by around the house...

[It seems somebody important are having a gathering in here.]

He was curious.

As he went to the small yard outside the room where he used to live, he didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh, because he saw two men sitting in the arbor, drinking liquor, sitting face to face.

One of them squinted at the other, with a big tongue, said, “I mean... It is indeed something to experience, sitting here to drink... Damn... That bastard! Ye Xiao, the bastard! I wonder what secret he was hiding from us, because he never invited us to come here for drinks. What a waste of such a great place...”

A man who wore the clothes of a scholar was sitting on the opposite side, who looked handsome. His face was red, and he was obviously drunk as well. In a low voice, he said, “This place always make me feel refreshed... Every time when I want to have a drink, I come here... When I get drunk, I search here and there, aimlessly... You know what? I did find something special...”

Lan Langlang was the one who look with a squint and spoke with a big tongue. He said, “You did? Really? What kind of special thing is it? I have walked around too. How come I never found anything good?”

The man in scholar’s clothes was Zuo Wuji. He chuckled out, which made him less serious than an official in court should be. He half closed his eyes, spoke in a low voice, said to Lan Langlang, “Do you remember this... Back to the year... You know? Somebody... Who lost something. Do you remember? Someone lost something... Oh, right. You have to remember this one thing at least. Don’t you remember the underwear of Minister Wang’s daughter? She lost it when she was drying her clothes under the sun?”

Lan Langlang’s eyes opened widely and he said, “What? Do you mean... Those things...”

Zuo Wuji rose up his eyebrow on one side, laughing boorishly, and said, “Ye Xiao got them all... All kinds of styles... Different colors... Hah hah hah hah hah hah...”

Lan Langlang jumped up in shock. He said, “What the hell? I never knew that Xiao Xiao likes that kind of things! What a surprise...”

Ye Xiao was slowly approaching them, and he was awkwardly speechless.

[What the hell? What on earth are you talking about? What kind of things? I don’t like any kind of things!]

[You two bastards! Stop tarnishing my reputation! I didn’t do that! It wasn’t me! It was Ye Xiao!]

[Pah! I mean the other Ye Xiao! He did it! Not me! Not this Ye Xiao...]

[Holy sh*t... I mean I did not do those things. My body did... Damn it...]

[Fine. I don’t think I can get it clear. Ye Xiao did it. Ok. Done. My heavens. It was Ye Xiao, not me!]

Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing both stared at Ye Xiao with weird looks in the eyes. They seemed to be impressed... [You actually stole women’s underwear? Ye Xiao... You must have grown up now... How could you do such things...]

The two ladies knew that it was the former young Lord Ye Xiao who stole those things, not the current Ye Xiao, the Xiao Monarch. However, they just needed an excuse to look down upon him...

[We look down upon Ye Xiao. You are Ye Xiao too. We know. However, do not fit in. It is your own problem to get the abuse. You shouldn’t do this!]

Ye Xiao noticed the two ladies’ eyes with strange hint, so he was provoked. He broke into the yard, shouting abuse, and said, “You two bastards! How could you tarnish my reputation like this behind my back? I am going to kick both of your asses...”

Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji heard it, and they were shocked. They couldn’t believe what just happened, so they looked at each other in happiness...

...

The brothers from the old days finally got to meet each other again, and they just couldn’t have enough of the pleasure in drinking. After making some jokes and laughs, Zuo Wuji talked to Lan Langlang, “Come on! Quickly, go get us more food for the liquor! We have to drink as much as we can! Nobody leaves! We are going to get drunk!”

Lan Langlang laughed loudly and said, “That’s right! Yes! I am going to tell the cooks now... Wait... I have to throw up first... I won’t be able to drink more before clearing up my stomach.”

Then this foolish man stood up, walking out to do something to keep himself from being drunk.

Ye Xiao was speechless. “What do you mean you are going to throw up?”

Lan Langlang said, “I have drunk a lot with Old Zuo before you came. How am I supposed to drink with you if I don’t throw up something first to empty my stomach? Come on! Don’t tell me you want to take advantage of me?”

Ye Xiao frowned, with his face twisted, and said, “Holy sh*t! Are you telling me that you can’t force the liquor out with some spiritual energy? Do you have to do that? It is such an easy thing, isn’t it? Do you really have to...”

“Come on, this is the Drunk God liquor, freshly made by the master...” Lan Langlang tilted his head and said, “To force it out with your spiritual energy? No... It won’t work... Do you think I like to throw up? Come on... You have to learn...”

Before Ye Xiao said anything, Lan Langlang ran away. He didn’t stop running until he reached somewhere he believed Ye Xiao wouldn’t hear him, then he stuck two fingers deep into his throat...

– Voh... –

Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Jun Yinglian were much more powerful than Lan Langlang could imagine. Even if he was outside the House of Ye, even if he was out of the entire Kingdom of Chen, Ye Xiao and the two ladies would hear him clearly!

The three of them felt it hilarious.

[What a foolish man. What are we going to do... How am I supposed to eat anything after hearing this...?] Ye Xiao thought.

He was fine actually, but Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian were both ladies who were always clean. It must be difficult for the ladies to bear the disgust...

Ye Xiao kept his head shaking.

[After all these years, Lan Langlang the damn erhuo, who had become the great general now, is actually still so stupid... Things changed, but he is still the same.]

Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing both felt weird about something.

Erhuo, who was busy digesting the soul energy in the Boundless Space was angry. [What the hell? Why do you have to call people that? Why are you calling such a lowbred man Erhuo? Erhuo is my name! It should be the greatest compliment in the world!]

Zuo Wuji seemed to be shocked too. He stayed silent for a while, and then started to said with loud abuse, “What a bastard! Can’t he be a little more polite? We have two ladies here! How could he talk like that... Xiao Xiao, wait here! I am going to kick his ass!”

Then he ran away fast!

After a while, from the same place, another person was throwing up and the sound came back to Ye Xiao...

Ye Xiao’s face was twisting...

[Kick his ass?]

[Is this kicking his ass? You just saw him doing it, and you wanted to do it too!]

Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian both felt sick, and their faces looked extremely bitter.

Ye Xiao could only make a long sigh.

[Bastards... This is such a disgrace...]

However, he felt warm in the heart at the same time.

[Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang... They are both my brothers.]

[I have Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue in the Qing-Yun Realm, and I have these two guys in the Land of Han-Yang. This is so good!]

These two brothers were both powerful men in this world. One was a great general, while the other was an official in the royal court. Both of them were able to have anything they wanted in the world. They could drink in any place, yet they chose to come to my small yard. Why?

They wouldn’t say. They would even deny it if somebody said the truth. However, Ye Xiao knew what the truth was.

The two guys missed Ye Xiao... They needed somewhere that could remind them of Ye Xiao. [Yes, they were cherishing the memory of me... They mourn for me...]

[Pah! What is wrong with me? Is my head filled with water? Why am I cursing myself? Mourn for me... I am not dead, am I?]

“They must be so close to you! You have them here, and you have Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue in the Qing-Yun Realm. This is good!” Jun Yinglian walked over and held Ye Xiao’s arm. She gently said, “This is so good!”

“Look at them. They are lucky to be my brothers.” Ye Xiao smiled and said, “In fact, I am having a headache about this. These two bastards have no ambitions at all. They don’t have interest in ascending to the upper realm or being immortal. They have no desire for anything great... All they have in their simple heads is the wealth in this mortal world. They have a limited view of their lives... Sigh...”

Ye Xiao made a long sigh and expressed the voice deep in his heart. Many great cultivators had the same problem in the heart though. It reminded Ye Xiao of his first powerful enemy in his second life, Gu Jinlong. Gu Jinlong was an evil man indeed, but he wasn’t born that evil. If not that the woman he loved got older and older, he might not become who he was in the end. It was difficult to sentence one’s life by a simple judgment!

For Ye Xiao, what Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji were after was stupidly worthless. However, for Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang, Ye Xiao’s ambition was so far away that they just didn’t want to waste their time chasing it!

“Different people have different goals. You are not them. How do you know they are not happy?” Xuan Bing spoke in a low voice.

Back to this small yard, Xuan Bing was most strongly touched. Ye Xiao was less emotional than her at this moment.

In this small yard of this mortal world, Xuan Bing found the man she wanted to rely on for the rest of her life. In this small yard, her life was changed. She was no longer the lonely and cold woman after what happened in this small yard.

Now she was back to this small yard, which she hadn’t been back for a long time. It seemed she was that little girl again who had nobody to rely on, knew nothing, had nothing... lying on the bed... unable to move...

It was Ye Xiao who took good care of her day by day, so she became better bit by bit...

Xuan Bing’s sight became blurry. It seemed she could see the brightest figure of a young man in the Chen-Xing City again, who had a pretty face with a warm smile, who held a bowl with the medicine in it, who coaxed her to take the medicine like she was a child. “Come on, good girl. Take the medicine, and you will be all good,” he said.

The little girl on the bed frowned and begged, “It is bitter... I don’t want to take it... Please...”

“No, it isn’t bitter. It isn’t bitter at all. Come on, silly girl. I added some honey for you... If you drink it up, you can get some sweets as a reward...” The young man always coaxed her like this.

Thinking about the past that she always dreamed about at night, her eyes turned red. Her heart was full of happiness. She held Ye Xiao so tight in the arms and said, “Master...”

Ye Xiao knew her so well, so he held her tight on his chest and said, “What is it? It reminds you of the past, doesn’t it? Silly girl. It has been a long time since I saw you with tears last time. Look at your adorable face with tears...”

Xuan Bing blushed and said, “No, I am not. I don’t cry...”

She rolled up her eyes, and that made her full of charm at the same time.

Jun Yinglian saw it all, but she didn’t feel anything about it for the first time. She knew that Xuan Bing and Ye Xiao used to live in this place, and they were master and maid. It was so natural, that she forgot who Xuan Bing truly was other than just a maid.

Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang walked back with big smiles on the face. They couldn’t wait shouting to Ye Xiao, “Ye Xiao, we are going to get you really drunk today!”

Lan Langlang was rubbing his hands. “Today, you are lucky to experience the greatness of the two of us, the great sword and pen in the Kingdom of Chen!”

Ye Xiao laughed loudly and said, “The great sword and pen in the Kingdom of Chen? Come on! You are two useless bears! Two cowards! I think cowards fit you more!”

“What the hell? That is too much! You actually look down upon the team of us! Lan Langlang, you go first! Go for him! Give him a lesson! I dare him being so arrogant again!” Zuo Wuji seemed to be provoked.

Lan Langlang was just going to rush forward, but then he stopped to look back at Zuo Wuji. He said, “Why don’t you go first, by the way?”

Zuo Wuji said, “I am an official in court. I am the pen! Come on! How can an official run in the front line?”

“Well, I am the sword. I am a general indeed. I can’t defeat him, can I? He is a cultivator! He is a good cultivator!” Lan Langlang was angry. He said, “You bastard! You are setting me up again! Does Xiao Xiao go too far? Yes, but you go even further! You are going deep into the toilet hole!”

“I am not going to talk to you anymore, you bastard with a full mouth of filth. You are a general! Are you telling me you are going to show weakness to your enemy like this? Are you surrendering before the fight begins? Come on! Isn’t it too humiliating?”

Zuo Wuji squinted at Lan Langlang and talked sharp.

The two of them, who should be standing on the same side against Ye Xiao actually started to tease each other. Ye Xiao just wanted to laugh. He knew these two were never going to really fight each other, but he still said something to calm them down.

In fact, if Lan Langlang was provoked, he might really beat Zuo Wuji up really hard...

“Oh, isn’t this the girl, Bing’er? It has been such a long time...” Zuo Wuji looked at Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian, said, “And who is this beautiful lady?”

Although Zuo Wuji was always the steady one, as he looked at the two gorgeous ladies, he just couldn’t stop watching them.

“Clean your eyes. Uncle Song has given permission to me for having Bing’er as my concubine. Jun Yinglian is my wife!” Ye Xiao humphed and showed Zuo Wuji an angry face.

“Jun Yinglian? What a beautiful name. People should cherish the time with you... I mean... Oh, my sister-in-law.”Zuo Wuji started to talk cunningly. As he started to call her sister, he and Lan Langlang both rushed over to talk to her.

“Sister, you are so beautiful! Do you happen to have a sister? You know. Somebody as beautiful as you are? We prefer to have the good things left for our own men, don’t we? If you do have a sister beautiful like you, please introduce her to me!” Lan Langlang fawned on Jun Yinglian.

“Lan Langlang, what the hell are you doing? How can you be this rude to the lady for the first time you meet her? Look at your ugly face. How can you ask for a girl like this? Don’t you feel shame? Sister, how are you? I am Zuo Wuji. I am the best brother of Xiao Xiao. We are real brothers. Sister, may I ask if you have a sister of your own? I am much better than that Lan Langlang guy. I am polite, well-educated, good-looking, generous, and steady-going... Heh heh heh...”

“Zuo Wuji, you shameless bastard! You are a monster in human clothes! You... You... You...” Lan Langlang started to shouted in anger. “No wonder they all call you Dark Chicken! You have a dark heart... You have a dark soul... You actually do this to your brother... It concerns my life-long happiness...”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Dark Chicken? That’s a good name for him. That is exactly who he is...”

Zuo Wuji was awkwardly speechless, and his heart was hit by a chill.

It turned out after Zuo Wuji held a great political power in his hand, he was always strictly impartial. He always showed a dark face when he was working, and his strict rules were killing the other officials, but nobody dared to stand against him. That was why more and more people started to call him the Dark Chicken.

Ye Xiao heard how Zuo Wuji got the nickname Dark Chicken, and he started to crack into a continual laugh. “What a good name,” he said.

Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang laughed with him for a while, and then suddenly remembered they still needed to ask for wives, so they turned to Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing again.

Jun Yinglian wasn’t bashful about it at all. She frankly said, “Well, I do have a lot of sisters, and I am not bragging. Anyone of them is better looking than me. They are not married yet. If you want, I can introduce you.”

The two men heard what she said and they were both visibly pleased. Their eyes almost turned green for it.

Jun Yinglian was such a beautiful lady, and her sisters must be at least the same beautiful.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, “My dear wife is right. Her sisters are all beautiful and fabulous.”

Lan Langlang kept his mouth open, saliva dripping down from the corner of the lips, and he asked, “Is it real?”

Ye Xiao nodded to confirm, and said, “Of course, it is true. Let me tell you more. If you marry women like her sisters, you should thank god for giving you the opportunity that none of your ancestors ever had. Two things about these ladies made them a long better than any woman in the Land of Han-Yang.”

“Two things? What are the two things? That is quite a high comment!” The two men were thrilled.

“High comment? No. Not really! I will tell you what. One of the two things is that they will stay young. They won’t grow old. Even when you two had lost all your teeth for old age, they will be just as beautiful and young as you first meet them!” Ye Xiao chuckled and said.

“What? Really? They can stay forever young? How is it possible?” The two of them couldn’t believe it, but their saliva kept dripping down. They were two typical perverts!

“It is true. I won’t lie about it. They won’t grow old. The reason why they can stay forever young is that... Well, let me put it this way. If there is a war you need to fight, if there is a battle you need to join, you will no longer need an army. You won’t need to recruit soldiers or anything big. All you need to do is to take your wife with you. One of the ladies will be enough to solve the problem. No exception.”

Ye Xiao said seriously.

The two men were shocked. “What? Really that good? One woman can fight a million people in the war?”

“One million people? A piece of cake!” Ye Xiao pursed his lips and said, “Look, my wife’s sisters are awesome. When two of them are having a fight, they usually just raise up a mountain and throw it to the other! It is easy for them to move a mountain! Just imagine this. Do you really think it will be difficult for such powerful people to fight an army of mortal men? Do you?”

The two men’s eyeballs were almost on the floor. “Raise up a mountain? Throw it to each other? Holy... Shh...”

Jun Yinglian softly smiled and said, “Anyone of them can do it easily. That is not a special thing...”

“Shhhh...” Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang both took a cold breath when they realized Jun Yinglian wasn’t joking at all. They felt their legs got a cramp, and they suddenly wanted to pee.

“If you two are truly interested, I will tell my wife to do this for you. Don’t worry. It won’t be hard. She just need to talk to them, and that is all. As long as my wife go and talk to them, it gets done.” Ye Xiao was acting like he could do anything he wanted in the world.

“No... Forget it.” The two men seemed terrified. “Well... We... Ahem... We were just joking. Hah hah hah... We were joking... I think it is fine that we get each other for the rest of our lives... We don’t think we should bother our dear sister...”

The two of them both got their hearts beating crazily fast.

[Holy heavens...]

[If I get a wife like that in my family...]

[I won’t be able to enjoy the rest of my life...]

[It is terrible that a woman can raise up a mountain and throw it out, but that is not the most scary part. When I grow old, my wife will still be young and beautiful like always. That is such a great lot to worry about in the future! It must be tough for a man!]

Zuo Wuji raised up the left hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead with the sleeve. Lan Langlang stared at nothing in the air, cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. He then chuckled and said, “Well... Heh heh... If this is real, if we do marry two of those women, Zuo Wuji will lose all his legs and his penis when he goes to the brothel or to have an affair with some lady... Actually, I can see that happen.”

Zuo Wuji was pissed, so he kicked Lan Langlang on the butt, saying, “You bloody bastard! You are the one who will go out and mess with some woman, and then get caught by your own lady, and then get punched into a pig head by the powerful lady! You are a man with a pig brain!”

“Hah hah hah...”

Everybody laughed. The entire place was filled with joy and pleasure...

It was always less than enough to drink when drinking with the right man. The three brothers kept drinking and talking to the midnight that day.

During the drinks, the King had sent people over to call Zuo Wuji back to the court for some state business, but Zuo Wuji turned it down without hesitation, giving a simple excuse—”I am sick!”

The three brothers did have more than a lot to say after being apart for such a long time. The three of them kept talking about the past, reliving the stories in the past when they were young. Sometimes when they said something that pissed each other off, they would start to punch each other, but soon they would separate and laugh like three mad men.

They drank and drank to the midnight of the day. Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji were totally fuddled.

Ye Xiao slowly stood up and casually walked aside. He stared at the darkness of the night in the sky and got lost in thoughts.

He left this world two years earlier, and he had seen this reunion coming. However, this time when he left for the Human Realm Upon Heavens, he had no idea when he would be able to return to the Land of Han-Yang.
