What Xuan Bing said seemed to be unintentional, but it exploded like a thunderclap.
That was right. Almost all sects and clans in the Qing-Yun Realm had sent their people over to the base, then why hadn’t the West Hall and the East Hall?
[Are they too arrogant to do so? Do they feel shame to be with us? Or…]
“What Lian Lian said is right. It concerns too many people. Let’s put it aside for the time being.” Ye Xiao took a deep breath. Murderous intent with anger was boiling inside his eyes. “Let’s focus on the mole issue. We should get them all out… and kill them all!”
Xuan Bing frowned and said, “But if we do this for real, will it consume too much of Rou’er? Maybe it will put on an unendurable burden on her…”
When Xuan Bing lived in Land of Han-Yang as Bing’er, there were three people that she was close to. The first was definitely Ye Xiao, and the second was Song Jue. Rou’er was the third closest to her. Back in Land of Han-Yang, Bing’er was quite sentimental about Zhao Pingtian and Rou’er’s story. Although Rou’er spent most of her time staying with Zhao Pingtian, she sometimes talked to Bing’er.
In fact, Bing’er had helped Rou’er a lot to stabilize her soul in the old days. Xuan Bing’s Ling Xiao Ice Art was greatly enhanced after Ye Xiao removed the hidden threat inside her body. The yin qi which naturally went out her body was exactly the most helpful qi to Rou’er. However, Rou’er and Bing’er did not know it. Xuan Bing got to know it afterward, but she would not want to take the credit. Even if Rou’er did not absorb the yin qi, it would only be wasted. It was better to use it on Rou’er!
Now as Xuan Bing thought about it, she only wanted to help Rou’er out this time, by pouring her pure yin qi into Rou’er, so that Rou’er would not need to consume too much of her own energy. Other than that, with Xuan Bing’s company, Rou’er will be much safer!
Ye Xiao blandly smiled and decisively said, “Don’t worry about it. I have a plan for that.” Ye Xiao’s plan was to do some conversion from energy to soul. Since the soul of death could supply soul energy, soul energy could also enhance the soul. Erhuo had absorbed quite a lot of soul energy earlier. With the help of some medicines, Erhuo could produce some special dan beads that contained soul energy. However, Erhuo was too stingy to take it out.
There was one more thing that annoyed Ye Xiao. When the golden hawk returned from the Oracle District, it said it had to go somewhere and take something back. It was fine if it just took whatever it was and returned soon, but it had been over one month and there was no message from the golden hawk at all. That was not okay.
Where was the golden hawk?
If the golden hawk was here, Ye Xiao could feel a lot easier to fight the battle against the demonic creatures and have a bigger chance to win the war.
What happened to the golden hawk? Why wasn’t it back yet??
The golden hawk was incredibly powerful. If it was a human being, it should be more powerful than Wu Fa. Although it wasn’t the most powerful in the Qing-Yun Realm, it was peerless in speed! Erhuo might be a bit better than Hawky, but Erhuo was totally crazy…
Ye Xiao was pretty troubled because of it.
As for Darky, his lovely horse, he had freed it to the wild long time earlier.
Ye Xiao entered the Boundless Space, and Erhuo was curling like a furry ball, sleeping with a big snore. That looked pretty cozy.
“Get up now! It is time to work!” Ye Xiao dragged Erhuo’s ear, but the cat just ignored him.
When Ye Xiao was talking, Erhuo could clearly hear it inside the Space. It knew its evil master was going to use its soul power. Erhuo felt like he wanted to kill itself.
Now as Ye Xiao entered the Space, Erhuo had to pretend it was sleeping.
[I don’t care what you say. I will not get up. I will not even open my eyes!]
[If I get up, the tiny teeny bit of soul power that I have collected so hard will be gone…]
Ye Xiao shouted at Erhuo, whispered to its ears, promising it all kinds of profits. He used every possible method to get it up. However, Erhuo just would not open its eyes. Ye Xiao touched it, poked it, it would not react to it. Ye Xiao dragged it up by grabbing its tail, and it was still loose like a dead cat.
Ye Xiao surely knew that the cat just didn’t want to use its soul power, that was why he was angry, but also felt it so hilarious.
Nobody could wake up who was pretending to be asleep. That was the unchangeable truth!
Well, however, Ye Xiao decided to challenge the truth…
First, it was rude and simple. Ye Xiao got close to Erhuo’s ear and yelled. “Meow!”
Erhuo’s ear fluttered. [Come on, master! Stop yelling if you don’t know how to yell it the right way! That was unbelievably scary…]
[I felt like I was walking across a field of tombs…]
However, Erhuo had a pretty strong willpower. Although its ear moved, it still didn’t wake up.
[I am not opening my eyes. What can you do?]
It turned out that the truth was not easy to change!
Ye Xiao was a persistent man. He wouldn’t just give up like that, would he? He rolled his eyeballs and came up with another idea. He took Erhuo up in the air and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he made a surprised exclamation, as if he found something unbelievable.
Erhuo was disdainful. [I don’t care what you are pretending. I won’t move even a bit. You are not going to shake my mind!]
Ye Xiao murmured, “No wonder Erhuo is always fractious. It turns out to be a female cat… With my eyes wide open, I actually can not see its penis… Well, this is the truth…”
Erhuo raged up as it heard the ‘truth’!
It got rid of Ye Xiao’s hand quickly and waved its claws furiously. “Meow! Meow! Meow meow! Meow! Meow! Meow…?”
[You are a female cat! Your families are all female cats!]
Erhuo was angrily spraddled, pointing the thing between its legs with a claw, shouting at Ye Xiao furiously!
“Can’t you see it? Can’t you actually see this huge baby? Can’t you? Can’t you really?”
Ye Xiao was surprised by Erhuo’s reaction.
He knew that Erhuo might react to the provoking, but he had no idea it would be so emotional!
That was unbelievably emotional!
“Why the hell are you so furious?” Ye Xiao squinted at Erhuo and said, “You are just a cat… Why do you care about your penis so much? Do you have to? Do you really? For real?”
He squinted at the tiny penis of Erhuo, which was as small as a peanut bean, and he disdainfully said, “Are you questioning my eyesight? Tell me then. Do you think anybody can see it? Do you? Do you really?”
Erhuo was provoked by Ye Xiao’s satire, and it was furiously jumping up and down with all the hairs standing straight up. It kept meowing loudly and said, “You know I am a cat! You know I am! Don’t you know what a cat is? This is what a cat looks like! I absolutely have the biggest pen*s among all the cats that are the same size as me! I am also the strongest! I am incomparable! You know absolutely nothing, stupid human!”
Ye Xiao despised it, and blandly took off his pants, pointing his own thing between the legs, and then dragged the pants on immediately, flaunted and said, “See? Look at it! What is big? Now you know what is big! This is big!”
Erhuo was wrathful! It even wanted to scratch Ye Xiao with its sharp claws! Its voice became sharper that it was like some demonic echoing sound in people’s head. It was freaking out. “How can you f*cking compare yours to mind? Why don’t you compare yours to a f*cking elephant? Why don’t you compare yours to a f*cking dragon? You… You vile… You are contemptible! You contemptible bastard!”
It was gasping because of the fury, and it didn’t even sound like a cat anymore!
“Fine. You are a male cat. Okay? You are a tough, strong, incredibly virile male cat!” Ye Xiao spoke like he was trying to be magnanimous. As he said it, he felt like he was lying, betraying his conscience.
[Look at its tiny little peanut… How can I call that virile…]
[Oh. This is sad. My conscience is lost. I have lost my bottom line… I actually made up a lie like for my purpose. I lied to the cat, and I lied to myself. My image is ruined… Everything is ruined…]
Erhuo was finally eased a little as it heard Ye Xiao’s words. However, it was still gasping because of anger.
“Since you are so tough and virile, I guess you will be happy to make me some dan beads…” Ye Xiao lifted an eyebrow and said, “I need some dan beads that can fix the soul of the dead. It isn’t difficult, is it? What do you think, virile cat?”
Erhuo suddenly slacked down. Its ears fell down again, and it closed the eyes again.
[Holy sh*t! I forgot to pretend to be asleep…]
It seemed hitting on the right spot could wake up who was pretending to be asleep after all!
Ye Xiao raged up this time, and said, “F*ck! Don’t you dare pretend to be asleep again!”
He grabbed Erhuo’s hind leg and threatened it fiercely. “I am going to make you a female cat today! Believe it or not!”
Erhuo felt the horrible eyes of Ye Xiao staring at the thing between its legs, and it was shaken.
Its furry tail suddenly moved over to cover the crotch, and it angrily meowed.
“Do you really have to threaten a cat like this?”
Erhuo resentfully asked.
“I don’t think I am threatening a cat!” Ye Xiao humphed and said, “I am threatening the creature that claimed to be the world’s peerless creature in chaos! Didn’t you call yourself that?”
That was a good one. He quibbled about Erhuo, but also sucked up to it at the same time.
Erhuo looked better. It meowed proudly and rubbed the whiskers, looking like it was deep in thoughts.
However, because it was upside down at the moment, it didn’t look as good as it imagined. It was only hilarious and stupid!
“Don’t tell me the world’s peerless creature in chaos couldn’t even give me a few simple dan beads!”
Ye Xiao smiled and said, “If you truly can’t, don’t ever mention anything about the peerless creature in chaos or anything like that! Stop talking like you are omnipotent! You are not… You are just not so good…”
Erhuo was about to rage up again, so Ye Xiao hurriedly said, “That is why I think it is just an easy job for you! You are so capable!”
Erhuo was satisfied by the flattery. It rubbed the whiskers again and thought, [Well, he is right. It is not a difficult thing for me. All I have to do is to move my hands slightly…]
“Just a few dan beads! It is a piece of cake for the peerless spirit in chaos!” Ye Xiao kept sucking up to it.
“That’s right. Just a few dan beads. For me, it is… Humph. It is just like breaking wind…” Erhuo looked prettily enjoying it. Its eyes were half closed, and it was humphing with pleasure.
…
After a while, Ye Xiao left the Space with satisfaction.
Erhuo was lying on the floor, waving its tail. [Master is clever. He is wise. He actually knows I am omnipotent, great, and honorable… Just a few dan beads… That is just…”
Suddenly, it exclaimed out loud.
“Meow!”
It jumped up, thumped its chest and stamped its feet. “My soul power! My soul power! My soul power! Ah… Five percent of my soul power! He took it… Meow! Ah… Why would I give him fifteen of those dan beads? Ah… Ah… I am going crazy…”
“I am crazy… Why would I give him that…”
“Five percent of my soul power… I want to kill myself…”
It thumped its chest and stamped its feet like it was in pain, that it didn’t want to live anymore.
Ye Xiao’s flattery made it feel so comfortable that it actually gave him fifteen Soul Power Dan beads.
When Ye Xiao was gone, Erhuo had still been lost in the flattery, until just then.
Erhuo had stayed with Ye Xiao for a long time. Soul power was the thing that it would never take enough. Its small body could actually contain a huge amount of energy. It never felt filled by the energy. Oh, there was once it felt full about it—when it took countless soul clouds in the Sky Soul Mountain.
That time, the clouds were so big that the energy even filled up the entire Boundless Space. Actually, Erhuo had a lot of soul power to use, but the energy in the clouds was aggregate of countless fallen ancient cultivators’ souls. Erhuo was only able to keep the aggregate. There were still a lot of that energy clouds inside, but Erhuo had to digest it bit by bit, to make it an energy that it could actually use. Ye Xiao had taken only five percent of Erhuo’s soul power, but that was already enormous. The soul power was as much as several top-class cultivators’ soul powers combined together. It took Erhuo just a few seconds to make the dan beads, but digesting the energy clouds could take Erhuo ages. That was why Erhuo groaned with bitter resentment!
“Oh no…” Erhuo was groaning, lying on the floor and not moving like its bones were all lost…
On a side in the Space.
Over a dozen Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes were looking at each other with their weird eyes as if they got to know something.
“Hiss, hiss… It turns out the boss loves to be flattered… It actually became a retard when it was buttered up…”
“Hiss, hiss… That’s right… Who could think of that…”
“Hiss, hiss… Look at it. The master only flattered it with a few words, and its tail was rising up to the heavens…”
“Hiss, hiss… The master was lying… That was some lame flattery. We all knew that. We could see that! But the boss actually couldn’t… It was even enjoying the fake flattery…”
“Hiss, hiss… That is right…”
“Hiss, hiss… Just a few words and the man took so many dan beads with him. That was too easy…”
“Hiss, hiss… That is right. I am so jealous of him. I want only one of that Soul Power Dan beads… No, half of a bead would be enough. I just want a tiny bit…”
“Hiss, hiss… What do you think if we go suck the boss up too? Maybe we will get a treat too…”
“Hiss, hiss… That is right…”
The Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes shined up their eyes at the same time like a lot of lightened bulbs.
They felt like they had discovered a new land in the ocean. In fact, they were like some paupers who suddenly got a method to make a lot of money.
