Realms In The Firmament

The nine people around Ling Wuxie kept showing an embarrassed face. They couldn’t help sighing. They tried to stand straight. They looked at Ye Xiao, and they felt like they had been stricken by thunder.

The next moment.

Chihuo suddenly made a sound.

The leader of the nine men stared at Chihuo with both eyes widely open.

They looked at each other.

“It is you! It is!” Chihuo humphed.

The leader humphed and kept both of his hands behind his back. “It is the Red Fire Lord. It has been quite a while! I never expected to see you again, old friend!”

Chihuo rolled up his eyes and blandly said, “Lvshui, the Green Water Lord, you haven’t been seen in the martial world for a long time. Well, it turns out you have been serving the Xie League. Are you the steward? That is quite a surprise. The proud and arrogant Greed Water Lord actually becomes somebody’s servant… Hah hah…”

The Green Water Lord laughed and said, “Likewise. The Red Fire Lord does not make any difference though! You were hunted down like a wild dog and then was saved by a young man. Now, you are asking for his protection, living on your miserable life. Come on. Your story is much better than mine!”

Chihuo was furious. “You are an ungrateful bastard! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”

The Green Water Lord was angry too. “Bullsh*t! If you didn’t betray us, we wouldn’t end up like this! The seven brothers broke up. Aren’t you responsible for that tragedy?”

Chihuo was so angry that his face turned purple. He stamped and shouted, “What the hell are you talking about? Lvshui, I can’t believe you are shameless enough to bring up the past. How could you make such shameless lies? You… You bastard! Do you even have a conscience?”

Lvshui looked at Chihuo and blandly said, “Of course, I do. Well, the question is… Was your conscience eaten by a dog or a wolf? Listen to you. Conscience here, conscience there… I think you have lost it. You are jealous of me because I still have mine! You are going to pay! The Heavenly Dao never spares the evil! Heh heh heh heh.”

Chihuo’s face turned dark. He stepped out and said, “You have to clear this! Who betrayed his conscience in the past?”

The others looked at the two men quarreling with each other. They didn’t know what to do.

‘What is going on with these two?’

‘They are both Undead Stage cultivators. Why are you two still doing such a stupid thing?’

These men followed Ling Wuxie to pay Ye Xiao a visit. The leaders of both sides had just said hello, and the conversation hadn’t started yet. Ling Wuxie had just shown his stupid face to Ye Xiao. What happened next was the two old powerful cultivators having a quarrel.

Ling Wuxie frowned and said, “Lvshui, what is going on? What happened, old master?”

The Green Water Lord was one of the Seven Colored Lords. Well, he was much more powerful than Chihuo, almost as powerful as the seven great ancestors of the Seven Lotus Clans. Ling Wuxie was the leader, but he still had to show respect to Lvshui.

Ye Xiao grabbed Chihuo’s arm and said, “What’s wrong? What is it? What is going on? Is that the Green Water Lord? Come on. You guys should be old friends to each other. Why make it so intense?”

Chihuo humphed and said, “That shameless, ungrateful, dishonorable, contemptible bastard!”

The Green Water Lord’s face turned red. He talked to Ling Wuxie. He angrily said, “That old dog is Chihuo! He is a hypocrite! He is full of filthiness and vileness! All he did was bring troubles to our brothers! He is an animal, a filthy animal!”

Ye Xiao and Ling Wuxie were both embarrassed.

Ye Xiao felt a bit of a headache, so he said, “Let’s get inside. Two powerful cultivators having a quarrel in my place, it must be a great honor of mine. Let’s get inside and continue the conversation, shall we?”

Ye Xiao wasn’t teasing them. Two lords of the Seven Colored Lords quarreling in the middle of the street? That could be the start of a novel, The Unavoidable Fight between Lords.

“Lord Monarch, wait. He is such a contemptible bastard. He can’t get in the Hall of Life and Death!” Chihuo was still angry. “Even if he is dying, I would feed him poison to send him to hell as soon as I can!”

The Green Water Lord said, “I will refuse to get in even if you invite me! Wherever Chihuo stays, it must be a sh*thole! You pollute everything! I don’t want to be poisoned by your breath! I just can’t understand. Why did the great Lord Monarch save you? Was he blind? He has a kind heart, so he saves your life, but recruiting you? That is another story! You are trash!”

“You are a dead meat!” Chihuo was ready to dash.

“I am here! Come on!” Lvshui wasn’t showing weakness either.

The other hurriedly stopped them. Ling Wuxie was here to visit Ye Xiao. If it became a big fight in front of the Monarch’s Hall, that would be a joke.

Ling Wuxie was awkward. “Fine. We won’t get in. Let’s talk outside. Ye Xiao, it isn’t anything serious. I heard that you became quite famous now. You recently defeated the Hall of Returning Nature. That is something to celebrate! I think we should have a drink together. What do you think?”

Ye Xiao frowned and said, “I am glad to have a drink with you. That is a good reason for us to have a drink… But… Do you have to dress like this? It is… It’s just… Unbelievable…”

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Ling Wuxie laughed and shook. He made a turn to show the details of the clothes.

“No, it isn’t! You are disgracing the word beautiful!” Ye Xiao wasn’t being polite at all. “I thought you were a wild chicken pacing down from the mountain.”

Ling Wuxie disdainfully said, “You know nothing, you rube!”

While the two leaders were talking, somebody in the Monarch’s Hall suddenly did something. Meng Youjiang casually waved his hands. The snow on the ground flew up and became a house!

The roof and the walls were made of ice. Inside the house, it was warm.

The tables and chairs were like white jades.

“This is awesome!” Ling Wuxie laughed. “You are different now, Ye Xiao.”

After that, they smelled their teas.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Brother Ling, have a seat. There should be tea while there is a conversation.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Nobody paid attention to the two masters, Chihuo and Lvshui, who were staring at each other with anger in their eyes.

“Humph!” Chihuo walked into the house.

“Humph!” Lvshui walked in as well.

The host and the guests were all seated.

“Since you are not coming into the Monarch’s Hall, let’s have some tea here. It is quite the same anyway.” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “We are in the middle of the heavy snow, and it is quite interesting.”

Ling Wuxie said, “That’s true.”

They had tea and talked about something unimportant as a start. Ye Xiao suddenly smiled and said, “The Young Master Ling comes to the city in his most luxuriant clothes. It must be something important, isn’t it?”

Ling Wuxie laughed. He wasn’t angry. “That’s right. I am here because my father told me to. I need to send an invitation to the great ancestors of the Seven Golden Lotuses. I just feel like coming to see you in passing.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Well, it turns out you come for the seven great ancestors… I guess what I have done recently isn’t good enough! I thought you were my best friend who would pay me a visit when I needed you. You said you came to have a drink with me, but you were just saying that, weren’t you?”

Ling Wuxie smirked and said, “Come on, Brother Ye. I would come here even if my father didn’t tell me to deliver the invitation. You destroyed the army of the Hall of Returning Nature! Come on! That means a lot!”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Is that all? Don’t you have other purposes? Well, I will let people bring up the liquor, and we can just drink and talk about the past. Is that all you want?”

Ling Wuxie blushed and said, “Hah hah. I am definitely here for the drink. However, there is something else I need to talk about. We are good friends. We don’t keep secrets, do we?”

Ye Xiao said, “Brother Ling, just speak.”

Apparently, they both thought highly of each other after they met in the Land of Han-Yang. Ye Xiao knew that Ling Wuxie could never be a true friend to him.

Ling Wuxie was an unruly person, but he would never betray Master Bai. He was Bai Chen’s best friend, so he would never be Ye Xiao’s friend. In other words, because of Master Bai, Ling Wuxie and Ye Xiao could never be friends.

It was impossible!

They were both well aware of it!Read more chapter on NovelFull

They could drink and talk as much as they could, but they couldn’t trust each other!

“Well, here is the thing.” Ling Wuxie seemed hesitating. He said, “The ladies… You know… The ladies in my family… Hah hah… They… They heard about the Agerasia Dan beads, which you gave to Wan’er and Xiu’er… You are not going to believe this… Hah hah… The ladies… are jealous… You know what women are like. They just can’t resist that thing…”

Ye Xiao raised the cup and said, “Oh?”

Ling Wuxie looked at Ye Xiao. This conversation reminded him of the old days. He got close to Ye Xiao and said, “Brother Ye, you should have given me some… I gave you the most important thing of mine, remember? You should have given me some of the dan beads… Look. After the ladies knew about those dan beads, I have been living in hell!”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Come on, gentleman… Watch your mouth. You didn’t give me the most important thing you have!”

Ling Wuxie angrily said, “Hey! You called me Brother Ling before. Now you are calling me a gentleman? Do you remember the Golden Soul Tower? That was the most important thing to me! You can’t do this to me!”

The others were all shocked! The Dark Evil Spirit was most surprised. He had seen Ye Xiao use the Golden Soul Tower, so he believed Ye Xiao had a strong background. In the end, he realized Ye Xiao got no background at all, so he wondered where he got the Golden Soul Tower from. Now, as he heard Ling Wuxie, he finally knew the truth!

Ye Xiao was surprised that Ling Wuxie could actually be that shameless. He looked around and felt like he was the wrong one. He hastily explained, “Ling, what the hell are you talking about? You gave it to me as a gift! You liked the fact that you gave it to me! I spent a lot of time on our…”

‘Oh!’

Everybody was shocked. Apparently, it was difficult to change their view!

Ye Xiao realized there must be something wrong. He was simply telling the truth, but as the others heard it, they just couldn’t help thinking the other way!

Ye Xiao was angry. He said, “Ling Wuxie, say something. I helped Bai Chen make those Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads, and that risked my life! You gave me the Golden Soul Tower, so I could escape the punishment! You gave it to me for him! They took so many dan beads from me and gave me almost nothing in return! How could you blame me for that?”

Ling Wuxie said, “I didn’t say anything. Come on… When we met, we were like old friends already. What did I say?”

Ye Xiao was surprised. ‘That’s right. He didn’t say anything yet. I shouldn’t be so emotional!’

Ling Wuxie said, “Brother Ye, you did give him many dan beads, but he took them all. I didn’t get many. Wan and Xiu got more than I did. I gave you most of the materials, remember? I even gave you the Golden Soul Tower… Guess what? I got fewer than any of them…”

Ye Xiao was still angry. “Why do you tell me this? You should get Bai Chen. You two are good pals, aren’t you? He took all the dan beads, and that is not my business!”

Xuan Bing walked in. Ye Xiao held her in his arms and said, “Look. My lady never asks me for dan beads to keep her beauty. You should really do some cleansing in your back yard… And teach your women some rules…”

Ling Wuxie angrily said, “You are better at talking than doing. You have so many dan beads that you treat them like candies… If I have so many dan beads, I won’t come here… I don’t!”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Fine. Just tell me how many do you want.”

Ling Wuxie’s eyes lit up. “One hundred Agerasia Dan beads, please. The more the better.”

“F*ck off!” Ye Xiao furiously said, “What do you think they are? Cabbage? You get nothing!”

Ling Wuxie begged, “Please, I really need one hundred! Please…”

“How could you say that? I am giving you nothing!” Ye Xiao stood up.

“No… Please…” Ling Wuxie grabbed Ye Xiao’s sleeve and said, “Eighty… Eighty…”

“Are you deaf?” Ye Xiao was ready to leave.

“Sixty! How about that? Sixty…”

“Go away!”

“Fifty! Come on… It can’t be less…”

“No!”

“Forty-five, big brother… You are my dear big brother… Come on…”

“You are deaf. You get nothing. Just go. Go as far as the sun goes!”

“Forty, man. Please, just forty! Kiss!”

“Eww… Not a f*cking thing! Go to hell!”

The two of them kept talking like that, which shocked everybody else!

One was the prime leader of the Monarch’s Hall, while the other was the prime leader of the Xie League!

They were both influential men in the Limitless Ocean! How could they talk like that?

How could they?

They were grabbing their sleeves, dragging their legs… It was unbelievable!

‘Are they… really our prime leaders?’

‘They are like two stupid kids fighting for some lollipops!’

In the end, Ling Wuxie sadly said, “Fine, fine. Just give me twenty! Please. Give me less than that and I will die in my own house!”

Ye Xiao angrily said, “Twenty! Do you have twenty wives? Come on… Do you want to die in bed?”

Ling Wuxie cried and said, “I don’t have that many wives… But… Not only my ladies want the Agerasia Dan beads… My father has his women… Come on… I don’t want to piss them off… Master! Master Ye! If you don’t give me the dan beads… I will live in your place for the rest of my life… I will sleep on your bed. If you don’t help me, then I won’t let you go easy… I will be dead if I go home with nothing…”

Ye Xiao looked at Ling Wuxie and had an idea.

‘Well… This is more and more like a great opportunity to get something from him.’

‘Look at him. He is a fat sheep waiting for me to rip his skin off…’

‘I really need to get something valuable as soon as possible. The Monarch’s Hall has been through a great loss. I must get as much as I can from him!’

‘Never refuse an opportunity!’

Ye Xiao said, “Ah, I am such a nice man. I am such a hero. I just can’t bear watching people suffer… I thought you were having a happy and easy life… Look at you… I guess there must be something I can do for you…”

“What did you say?” Ling Wuxie’s eyes lit up. He knew Ye Xiao was sneering, but he just wanted the dan beads.

“I am being honest with you. If you really want the dan beads, I have one hundred, even more!” Ye Xiao raised his head.

“What? You…” Ling Wuxie said, “You didn’t say you have so many…”

Ye Xiao casually said, “Well, you should do more than just talking if you want to get my dan beads.”

It was obvious Ye Xiao was going to exploit the poor man!
