Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao looked at Wan Zheng-Hao coldly. His eyes had a sharp glint as though he was in the higher position. He said blandly, “Wan Zheng-Hao, if you satisfy me, please me… I can make you live forever and I can give you a normal man’s body, with which you will enjoy all the pleasures in the world! Endlessly!”

He stopped calling him ‘Wan’ or ‘Boss Wan’ anymore. He just called his name, Wan Zheng-Hao!

Obviously, it showed who would be the master of the other. He stayed a high position above Wan Zheng-Hao.

At this moment, Wan Zheng-Hao didn’t care though. His breath became rapid after he heard Ye Xiao’s words.

One of the Life Extending Dan Bead could extend his life for 100 years.

The Slimming Dan Bead could give him reduce his weight and he could regain the male capability.

With both, he could enjoy the wonderful world forever!

If he really got them both, his life was going to become a thousand times happier than he was now. That was exactly what he wanted!

His lips were shaking, “Brother Feng, you can’t joke on such things.”

Ye Xiao was unpleased, “Do I need to lie to you? It is merely a few Life Extending Dan beads. I may not be able to make supreme dan beads, but it is an easy job to make some normal Life Extending Dan beads!”

Wan Zheng-Hao showed a complex expression on his face and spoke while gritting his teeth, “What is true should be seen! As long as I can see either of these two dan beads… I will give my life to you, Master Feng! My life doesn’t belong to me anyway. I could sell it to Gu Jin-Long, so why can’t I sell it to you?!”

Ye Xiao smiled blandly, “Wan Zheng-Hao, you have lived a long life. I believe there is one thing you have already learned.”

He continued casually, “Well… People have souls. People’s bodies are merely fleshes and blood… They are just the physical holders… You should have learned it already.”

Wan Zheng-Hao nodded, “That’s true.”

“The Life Extending Dan beads Gu Jin-Long gave you seem to extend your life. In fact, it may not be a good thing to you.” Ye Xiao spoke slowly, “Every time when you took the dan bead, you felt dizzy for a while, right? The world will become silent like you were a dead man, right?”

“That’s true. How do you know?”

“Heh, heh… Because whenever you took the Life Extending Dan bead, you die once.

And then you come back to life, like your life had been extended.” Ye Xiao said blandly, “It means you are overdrawing the time of your next life and all the lives to come… Those lives have all been attached to your current life and you are living your future lives in this body…”

Wan Zheng-Hao said, “Yes.”

Ye Xiao said, “So, even if you die now… Your soul won’t be free immediately… You will have to suffer in the hell for over 3000 years. Well if you have done anything immoral, it may take you four or five thousand years. When you get through all this, you can become a pure soul and get into the tunnel of transmigration. And then you become some kind of animal in the next life. You are not going to be human anyway, because you have spent over 3000 years being a human. You can’t be a human any longer…”

Wan Zheng-Hao suddenly shivered.

“Heh, heh. Well, that’s just for talking though. I told you those, because I want to tell you that the Life Extending Dan is actually not it’s real name…” Ye Xiao smiled coldly and said, “It should be called… Dark Soul Dan!”

“Dark Soul Dan!” Wan Zheng-Hao murmured. His big fat face was all pale. Sweats on his face were like squeezed out from his fat.

“The real efficacy of Dark Soul Dan is not for extending life…” Ye Xiao spoke indifferently, “It is used to… restrain people’s soul in order to stop him from rebirth!”

“It should only be used on someone you hated the most in the world, when you want him to suffer for all his lives. It is a vicious dan. Whoever takes it, their soul will be restrained inside his body forever. He will suffer everything forever and will never have the chance to start over again.”

“It is the most vicious dan in the Qing-Yun Realm!” He continued, “It can only be used on souls though. However, Gu Jin-Long is a genius. He actually added the Nine Silence Grass and the Opposite Bank Flower in it. So it is different; it can be used on living men.”

“But the Nine Silence Grass will definitely damage the human body. Getting fatter and fatter is only one of the negative effects… It will make a man become half man half woman. Wan Zheng-Hao… Have you felt that you no longer long for that thing between a man and a woman? Hmm. I mean losing your sexuality. You are not interested in either women or men!”

Ye Xiao asked frankly.

Wan Zheng-Hao was shocked.

He just stood there saying nothing. His eyes were blank.

What Feng Zhi-Ling said were all true on him!

He remembered when he was young, he loved sex. After extending his life, he became less and less interested in women anymore. And then he gave up on it. Besides, he was too fat to have sex with a woman. He seemed to forget how it felt like to be with a woman.

[I have worked for Gu Jin-Long for my whole life and have been a dog for him!

Yet he treats me as if I am his biggest enemy…

And I have been admiring him and respecting him all the time…]

“Wan Zheng-Hao, I can return your body to a normal status, and I can give you the real Life Extending Dan. I can even reduce the sin you made. And I can help you regain your male capability!”

Ye Xiao said, “Wan Zheng-Hao, now you need to choose… What is your choice?”

Wan Zheng-Hao shivered. He raised his head and looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at him coldly and blandly.

At the moment, he was like a monarch looking down on the follower who was kneeling on the floor!

The vigor of a sovereign descending the world and commanding the universe bursted out!

Wan Zheng-Hao was stunned all at once.

Not only what Feng Zhi-Ling said had shocked him, but also his vigor was much stronger than Gu Jin-Long!

It was totally a different thing.

Gu Jin-Long was more like a head of a small gang. He was full of killing and fierceness!

Feng Zhi-Ling was more like a king who dominated the whole world!

[Who is this Feng Zhi-Ling? How come his vigor is so much stronger than Gu Jin-Long?

Isn’t he… just a dan-maker? And he seems to be humble and kind…]

Wan Zheng-Hao couldn’t believe it. He kept blinking to try to stay clear-minded.

He felt like he was in a dream.

And it was of course a good dream. A wonderful dream!

He was obviously thrilled by what Ye Xiao promised him. It was a bright and beautiful future!

“I…” Wan Zheng-Hao Felt a bit thirsty and he couldn’t talk.

He only spoke one word and his throat seemed to be burning.

“I know what you want to say. I surely can prove it to you!” Ye Xiao smiled blandly and reached out his hand, “You know I have limited materials, so I just made a half-done Smiling Dan bead. You can try it and look how it works. And then you tell me your decision.”

A jade bottle was put in front of Wan Zheng-Hao. Ye Xiao continued, “You need to prepare a big tub. When you feel burning after taking this dan bead, you cut the middle finger of your right hand and keep it in the tub. And then you can see… how much fat can be drawn out of your body! Then you will know my words are true!”

Then he stood up and said, “Alright then. I got to go. I will come back tomorrow night. I hope you can tell me your decision when I am back.”

And then he smiled and said, “So long.”

His body flashed and then he became a black lightning rushing out through the window as he disappeared in the dark.

A long time after Feng Zhi-Ling left, Wan Zheng-Hao was still sitting on the chair. He didn’t even move a bit. After a while, he moved his eyeballs.

He looked at the jade bottle on the table in front of him.

There was only one dan bead in the jade bottle.

Wan Zheng-Hao was struggling with a fight inside his head.

[What should I do?]

He did want that. All that Feng Zhi-Ling had promised him were what he wanted the most.

However, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Wan Zheng-Hao realized that this Feng Zhi-Ling wasn’t an ordinary figure.

He now knew that Feng Zhi-Ling acted humble and innocent earlier.

He thought that Feng Zhi-Ling must be more horrible than Gu Jin-Long!

He had a feeling that when he was under Gu Jin-Long’s control, he might be able to get away from him; yet if he was under Feng Zhi-Ling’s control, he was very likely going to spent all his life, or lives, to serve him!

His eyes were flashing with complicated feelings. He looked at the little jade bottle and he was gasping.

After a while, he finally made up his mind!

He was a bit self-abandoned.

“I have been serving somebody for my entire life already! How bad can it be to serve another one?” Wan Zheng-Hao gritted his teeth and murmured, “Besides, I can be in normal size this time. And I can man up again. I can enjoy all the pleasures in the world! It is a good deal to me! I have to have a higher standard about my life!”

He didn’t hesitate anymore. He reached his hand to the little jade bottle and grabbed it.

And then he shouted, “Somebody! Bring me an extra large tub!”
