Li Wuliang and Xue Danru were both at level seven of the Saint Origin Stage. The monkey was a top-level cultivator. It didn’t take long for them to retreat. Luckily, they both were expert cultivators in the martial world, so they eventually escaped the fight.
If they gave up, the monkey wouldn’t have any other choice but let the couple leave. However, it was said that the One Meter Higher Sky would pass this place. Li Wuliang had to get past this mountain to see his brother. He and the lady decided to sneak over the mountain, but unluckily, the monkey found them…
They had to fight the monkey again while running away again…
After that, they started to plan a second route to get past the mountain secretly.
However, no matter how careful they were, when they got near the mountain, the monkey always appeared.
It was so strange. One day, when they were pushed to the edge, Xue Danru was ready to explode herself, so Li Wuliang could seize the chance to leave. The monkey actually made an unbelievably stupid mistake, which gave the couple a great chance to survive.
After that, the monkey made the same mistake several times… Whenever they were going to suicide, the monkey made mistakes…
That was how the battle lasted for such a long time.
Li Wuliang and Xue Danru didn’t know that the monkey wanted their souls. If they exploded themselves, the monkey failed. They were so much weaker than the monkey, so the monkey wouldn’t care to let them go. He would get a chance to capture them sooner or later.
Li Wuliang thought that the monkey didn’t want to kill them. He thought the monkey only wanted to drive them away…
Because of such a silly idea, Li Wuliang decided to take the monkey as his practice target. He kept pushing himself to face the monkey and improve his technique.
That was so stupid. The monkey didn’t know him, so why did he believe the monkey wouldn’t hurt him?
After these days, Li Wuliang had enhanced most of his incredible spiritual power. He and his wife had both reached the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage. Even Ye Xiao was jealous of him!
As they became more and more powerful, it was more and more difficult for the monkey to defeat them, so the monkey became impatient. After all, Li Wuliang was still improving. If he and the lady both reached the Immortality Stage, the monkey would never have the chance to defeat them. The monkey decided to make a last attempt. If it failed again, he would just kill the couple. It was better to have some broken pieces of their souls than nothing!
That was when Ye Xiao showed up. With just one slash, he killed the monkey.
It was clean!
Li Wuliang was a little sad about the monkey’s death.
“What a pity… He was such a good opponent to practice with… He didn’t really want to kill me… He practiced with me for so many days… I mean… Xiao, do you really have to do it like this? Isn’t it ruthless…”
Ye Xiao was shocked. He stared at Li Wuliang and couldn’t believe the man was actually that stupid!
“Li Wuliang, oh, my little brother! You are unbelievable!” Ye Xiao smirked and pointed his thumb up. “I really am impressed!”
“You actually believe that the monkey was playing with you!” Ye Xiao was speechless. “He obviously wanted to have your complete souls! Look at you, moaning for him… Oh my heavens… What can I say? How did you survive this world with your stupidity? Are you lucky or were your enemies unlucky?”
When Ye Xiao thought about how Li Wuliang kept coming back to fight the monkey as if it was practice, Ye Xiao sighed.
“How come there is such an idiot in the world…
“How come such an idiot is actually so powerful…
“How come he actually survived all the fights against the evil monkey… What a lucky bastard…”
(Off-screen voice of Erhuo: “That’s true. He is such a powerful idiot, just like my master!”)
Ye Xiao felt awkward. He kept rubbing his head and didn’t know what to say. ‘What the hell does Erhuo mean? Am I powerful or an idiot? Is that a compliment?’
The Flower King looked up and down at Li Wuliang and breathed a sigh. He said something Ye Xiao wanted to say. “I believe you have traveled in the Limitless Ocean for some years, Brother Li… You actually survived the martial art here and improve to such a great level…”
The Flower King seemed to be careful. He said, “You are truly the luckiest man in the Human Realm Upon Heavens…”
“Hah hah hah…” Ye Xiao laughed.
Li Wuliang was annoyed. He wanted to deny it, but he got nothing to say. After a while, he said, “I am not smart, but my wife is! One of us is, and that is enough, isn’t it?”
The Flower King was surprised, and then he said, “Yes, of course. What a brilliant idea! We should truly drink for that, but we don’t have any liquor!”
The others laughed.
On the other side.
Xue Danru stared at Xuan Bing
After a while, she finally shouted.
“Xuan Bing! It is you!
“I should have known!
“It was you!”
Xuan Bing had been showing her real face to these people for a long time. However, as her biggest enemy, Xue Danru hadn’t seen Xuan Bing’s true face ever. She thought that Bing’er was only Ye Xiao’s maid. She knew that Bing’er was incredibly powerful, but Ye Xiao was unbelievably powerful as well, so she didn’t think deeply about it. After all, she was lucky to have the Divine Yin Yang Fruit and unbelievably got the chance to rise to the new world!
She had seen Bing’er using Ling Xiao Ice Art, but there was a good explanation for that as well. Ye Xiao had been quite close to the ladies in the Misty Cloud Palace. Perhaps, he had gotten the martial art from somebody in the Misty Cloud Palace and taught Bing’er martial art. After all, the Ling Xiao Ice Art wasn’t a secret to others anyway!
As for now, Xuan Bing didn’t disguise her true power. The special power of her Ling Xiao Ice Art told Xue Danru who she really was!
‘My husband’s brother’s concubine is… actually… my biggest enemy in the Qing-Yun Realm!’
‘She is my sworn enemy!’
‘Xuan Bing!’
‘The great Elder Xuan of the Misty Cloud Palace!’
Xue Danru clearly knew Xuan Bing’s incredible power. When they fought against the demons together, Xuan Bing did a great job just like Ye Xiao. Xue Danru knew that Xuan Bing had ascended to the Human Realm Upon Heavens too.
When Xuan Bing said those words before she ascended, Xue Danru was preparing for the ascending, so she missed the chance to recognize Xuan Bing!
Xuan Bing blandly smiled and said, “Xue Danru, you recognize me.”
Xue Danru was shocked and surprised. “How come? How is this possible? You…”
Xuan Bing’s face turned red and said, “Between you and me, it was foolish. Let’s not continue the unnecessary enmity in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. We are on the same side, and let’s not make fun of ourselves anymore…”
Xue Danru opened her eyes and didn’t get it yet. She said, “You… How could you… Why… How did you become Ye Xiao’s concubine? That is…”
Xue Danru couldn’t believe it. She was totally blank.
Xuan Bing used to be almost invincible in the world!
Ye Xiao used to be as weak as an ant…
How come Xuan Bing became Ye Xiao’s concubine?
It was so unbelievable…
Who would have known?
Xuan Bing blushed but then bravely raised up her head and said, “That’s right. He was my man! In fact… You should know the reason!”
Xue Danru was shaking. She held her own forehead and said, “You must have overestimated me… I… I need to rest… I must be dreaming…”
Xue Danru blandly smiled and said, “Xue Danru, do you remember the big fight? We fought all the way down to the Land of Han-Yang, didn’t we? That was the beginning of my story with him!”
Xue Danru said, “What?”
“After that fight, I was severely injured. I fell through the clouds…” Xuan Bing told everything that happened afterward. “I lost my memory and power… I met him, my master…”
Xue Danru widely opened her eyes. She must be extremely shocked. She couldn’t believe that she was the reason why Xuan Bing and Ye Xiao became a couple…
If Xuan Bing didn’t get so severely injured, how would Ye Xiao meet her?
It was like the mystery of destiny.
“Doesn’t it mean… I am your matchmaker?” Xue Danru said.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Well, I am your matchmaker as well, you and Li Wuliang!”
Xue Danru blushed too.
As she looked at Xuan Bing, her eyes looked softer. In fact, she felt like she defeated Xuan Bing.
That was right! She thought she won!
‘You have your man, and I have mine.’
‘We are in similar positions, but I… I am the wife!’
‘You, Xuan Bing, you are just a concubine…’
‘That is so different.’
‘Li Wuliang only has me in his heart. Ye Xiao is totally different!’
Xue Danru was happy about it, but she also spoke out against the injustice. “Elder Xuan, you are such an incredible woman… How come… This is wrong!”
She looked at Ye Xiao angrily.
Apparently, Xue Danru felt outraged because of this misfortune that Xuan Bing was suffering…
‘Your brother only loves me… How come you have to be a playboy?’
Ye Xiao coughed in embarrassment.
The two women had been fighting with their lives against each other in the Qing-Yun Realm, but as they met in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, they stood at the same side against a man… That was not good…
“You know it.” Xuan Bing smiled. “We are all women.”
Xue Danru thought about it and sighed helplessly.
That was right. She knew it.
After that big fight, Xuan Bing lost her memory and power because of a severe injury she got. She became Ye Xiao’s concubine as his maid. It was her destiny. No matter what happened afterward, the seed in her heart took root.
Clever women wouldn’t ask for much.
They just kept the deepest love which made them feel happy in their lives.
There was no doubt that Xuan Bing only felt happy when she was just a maid on Ye Xiao’s side…
She never regretted it.
If Ye Xiao wanted to make Xuan Bing the first lady, it seemed… She might feel less happy as if she wasn’t the girl with the pure heart anymore.
Clever as Xuan Bing was, she wouldn’t do such things, and she wouldn’t let Ye Xiao do it either!
“I understand.” Ye Xiao softly held Xuan Bing in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at the lady’s rosy cheeks. He said, “Bing’er is always my woman. Nothing can change that.”
Xue Danru sincerely said, “You are going to be happy to the end of the world!”
Xuan Bing gently smiled. She was so happy. “Thank you. You as well.”
“Good! Let’s go. It has been a long time since we met. There is a lot to talk about.” Xue Danru dragged Xuan Bing away. She pouted and said, “The ugly men will definitely start drinking soon! They always smell terrible when they do!”
Xue Danru wasn’t lying. She still remembered how a bunch of men stayed together before marching for the war against demons. It was horrible! She was still terrified!
Xuan Bing hesitated and looked at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao nodded, so Xuan Bing went with Xue Danru. The two ladies found somewhere quiet and started talking.
“Come on! The ladies are off. Let’s drink!” Li Wuliang laughed and took out over a hundred jars of liquor. “It is such a good opportunity to drink with brothers! Let’s drink! It has been f*cking too long!”
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up. The Poison King and the Flower King were also enjoying the moment.
Xue Danru was right.
Men always drink!
