Ye Xiao said, “I shouldn’t have said it. You wouldn’t want to follow me. I want to make it up for you. Just set the restriction off now. We are leaving. You will be free again. Respect to freedom!”
What an actor! People who didn’t know him would definitely believe him!
The One Meter of Red looked at Ye Xiao and thought, ‘What the hell is happening? Why is he so nice now? This is shocking! I was waiting for his invitation! I was going to say yes. I was going to offer him my body and my heart… Why would he give it up?’
‘My freedom?’
‘What freedom?’
‘Freedom means dog sh*t!’
‘Who wants freedom?!’
“I… I…” The One Meter of Red stammered. It finally had made up its mind. Shame meant nothing to him now. “I… I want to follow you…”
“Don’t get upset.” Ye Xiao generously said, “Don’t push yourself. You saw Bab. Bab envies you. I was shocked. I shouldn’t force you… I can’t force you to be my pet… It won’t be proper… Destiny will let us meet again… There will be…”
‘Holy hell! Is he saying goodbye?’
The One Meter of Red was anxious. “I want to be your pet!”
“No!” Ye Xiao didn’t hesitate.
“Why? Why do you change your mind?” The One Meter of Red was shocked.
“You don’t really mean it!” Ye Xiao said, “We won’t be happy. I get it. Bab is so jealous of you. I was touched.”
“I am not forced! I am not!” The One Meter of Red said, “I really want to!”
“You want the wonderful place where Bab lives. I get it. That’s just what you see. What else could be more important than freedom? If you become my pet, you will have to follow my orders.” Ye Xiao said, “You can’t do it!”
“I can! I will take it! I will do it!” The One Meter of Red bowed and wanted to show Ye Xiao its determination.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“You won’t regret this, will you?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
“I think you are just saying that… You don’t mean it. This is wrong. You are free. Freedom is priceless… Life is good, but freedom is better…” Ye Xiao said.
“Master!” The One Meter of Red cried. “Master! Please! Take me with you… Please, let me be your pet…”
Ye Xiao frowned and sighed. “Gosh… This is difficult. I will have to feed another mouth. I don’t think I have enough food!”
The One Meter of Red knelt down. “Master, please! Take me… I will eat less and work more…”
Ye Xiao looked troubled. “Fine…”
Jun Yinglian laughed so hard that she nearly staggered. After all, Ye Xiao might be the only person who could play such a trick so well. Even Zuo Wuji would be impressed!
“Xiao Xiao, how did you do this? How did you know?” Jun Yinglian was quite surprised. Ye Xiao was bold, but he eventually succeeded.
“Well, it isn’t as difficult or complicated as you think. I just pay more attention to the supply and demand. I have been consuming its patience. The sweetest candy was the one that you get after you are beaten so hard. My candy is so precious, and it can’t get it even after being beaten-up. That was killing it. It couldn’t resist it anymore…” Ye Xiao said, “That’s it. I get success. That’s reasonable and easy.”
“Why wouldn’t you use it earlier if it was so easy? Do you know how ugly you were… I don’t think I can be used to it!” Jun Yinglian looked disdainful.
“If I did that earlier, it might not work as well as I did it just now. I could fail. No matter how the One Meter of Red wants to live in my space, it is a proud great spiritual plant. It isn’t easy to tame such a great creature. I have to wait to the point that its patience is gone, and let the Cane of Void show up and irritate the One Meter of Red… That’s a sure win. I wasn’t being cunning. I am just smart! This is my second life. However, if not that my brother Zuo Wuji taught me all those schemes, I wouldn’t be able to think cleverly. In my previous life, I was called the Xiao Monarch, but I never was a monarch!”
Ye Xiao held Jun Yinglian’s waist in the cold wind. They were walking on the snow world. Their clothes were fluttering in the wind. They looked like gods.
Jun Yinglian thought for a while and had to admit that Ye Xiao’s plan was the best.
They had stayed in the special space for two years. As they came out, they felt like their back from the heavens.
Jun Yinglian was so happy. Ye Xiao was so confident. However, he was confused. ‘Lian Lian’s master is such a great person. One of the Four Great Spiritual Plants works for her. How did Master Bai know that Jun Yinglian was here?’
‘He shouldn’t be able to get the information. He shouldn’t be powerful enough…’
Ye Xiao was confused.
He would have to ask Master Bai when he met him someday…
…
The One Meter of Red couldn’t wait to move its original body into the Wood Space after Ye Xiao accepted it. It wouldn’t want Ye Xiao to change his mind again. Bab wasn’t happy about it, so it kept satirizing the One Meter of Red.
“I thought you were so proud?!”
“I thought you wanted freedom?!”
“Didn’t you refuse to move in?”
“Why are you here if you are so tough and proud?”
“Don’t you want your freedom anymore? Don’t you want to keep the dignity of the Four Great Spiritual Plants anymore? You bastard! Fence-sitter! You don’t have a bottom line, do you? Cunning, filthy, contemptible, low-born, nasty, shameless creature!”
