‘As long as our master wants it, we will fight for it.’
‘If he wants to be a saint, we will be his maids. If he wants to be a demon, we will be his servants. If he wants to bring disaster to the world, we will kill innocent people for him!’
Master Bai had given them promises, but Wan’er and Xiu’er both knew what the situation was in the royal court.
It seemed Master Bai was being disrespectful regarding a hurried start of the marriage, but in fact, he was taking all the distress from the royal clan. ‘I will take my maids as my women!’
‘I couldn’t control myself!’
‘Blame me if you want!’
‘My maids can never turn me down, can they?’
‘I am a powerful man. Everybody knows it is impossible for them to enchant me!’
‘This is it. It is done. Nothing is going to change!’
Wan and Xiu had become Master Bai’s women. They were his ladies now. Master Bai would stand up to face any accusation against the two ladies. They would be safe hiding under his wings.
After all, killing the prince’s wife or concubine was a serious crime. Nobody dared to do it.
Therefore, the wedding night was rough, lack of respect to the ladies, but it solved a big problem for the ladies.
The pressure was on Master Bai alone now.
“I will protect my own women.”
Wan’er and Xiu’er both remembered the softness in Master Bai’s eyes. He was full of love.
Their passionate lovemaking connected them.
Master Bai asked about that night now.
Wan’er and Xiu’er both felt bashful. They finally knew why Master Bai looked so happy that night.
He kept telling them there was good news.
However, the two ladies only cared for one thing… It was such a sweet surprise for them…
It was the most important day for the two of them. Master Bai never told them what the good news was, so they didn’t know what it was until this moment!
He finally told them.
That day, Master Bai confirmed that his best opponent had finally arrived in the Human Realm Upon Heavens! They were finally under the same blue sky!
He believed it wouldn’t be long before he and Ye Xiao met again as enemies!
“I see,” Wan’er said. Her face was still red. “Master, you knew it then, but you never told us.”
Master Bai blandly smiled and said, “Well, after that, some of our men got the treatments in the Hall of Life and Death. The Hall of Life and Death provided supreme dan beads to cure our men. I was sure it was Ye Xiao.”
Wan’er and Xiu’er both thought of the dan beads Ye Xiao used to give them in the Land of Han-Yang.
After the heavenly tribulation in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, supreme dan became extremely rare. However, for the Xiao Monarch, supreme dan beads were like cabbages in the field. He always got as many as he wanted. With all those supreme dan beads, how was he not going to rise in the world?
“Master, you knew he was running the Hall of Life and Death. Why didn’t you do anything about it? We knew Ye Xiao. He is a clever man who keeps a steady pace. He is a talented man with profound views. His weak power is his only shortage. If you give him space to improve, I am afraid he is going to be a huge threat to us…” Xiu’er said.
Master Bai smiled and said, “Xiu’er, you are right. However, do you know what is most important for a man?”
“What is it?”
Master Bai looked at the window. A flower was on the branch of the tree outside the window.
“There are three things that really matter in a man’s life.
“There are two things that everybody knows.” Master Bai smiled and said, “Power and beauty!
“A man is always after the extreme power in the world, which allows him to conquer the world, to decide life and death! That is power!
“Man has to fight for power!”
Master Bai’s profound eyes were flaming.
“Yes, Master. You are born a king in the world, and you are going to be one!” Xiu’er said with admiration. She had faith in him.
“That aside, it was the company of beauties!” Master Bai said, “Man with power is always lonely. It is difficult for men like me to have friends who can always catch up with me… It is impossible.
“The higher the position I obtain, the easier for me to be alone. The top of the world is too narrow to hold more than one person. Nobody is going to stand side by side with me on top of the world. When I am the supremacy of the world, the world is under me. What fills the hollow in my heart will only be the women I love!
“It is never a great success without the company of the beloved ladies on top of the world. Only the women I deeply love can share my joy! It won’t be perfect without the ladies.”
Master Bai said, “No matter how powerful a man is, he won’t be great if he can’t even have his beloved ones on his side!
“There are two important things for a man, power and women!”
Master Bai said.
“To hold the power in my hand and to hold the beauties in my arms!
“That is the life I am chasing for.
“I would fight the entire world to have you on my side. I will protect our love at all costs! It is my responsibility. It is the responsibility of your man!”
Wan’er and Xiu’er were dumbfounded. They looked at the man and said, “Master…”
They almost shed tears.
“The third important thing for a man was the most important one…” Master Bai said slowly, “An opponent. A proper opponent who matches my capability!
“It doesn’t always have to be an enemy. We don’t have to kill each other. However, he must keep bringing me the biggest pressure!
“An opponent like that is the biggest dream of a man in his life!
“Why is an opponent so important? Because an opponent who is strong enough to bring threats to me can keep me alert all the time because that pressure will keep driving me up.”
