Realms In The Firmament

Wan Zheng-Hao was cursing inside his mind, [He doesn’t drink. He doesn’t gamble. He doesn’t play with women. He is not interested in any entertainments in the world. Nothing is important to him. Everyday I see him, he is always just in a daze looking at his sword. He is always covered by an aura of ‘don’t approach me’ feeling. He only seems to be interested in his sword. Nothing else… Shit. I can’t believe there is actually such a weirdo in the world!]

He rubbed his beer belly and went to his room to sleep.

“Hold on.” Liu Chang-Jun spoke coldly.

Wan Zheng-Hao turned around and his face was twisted, “What do you want?”

“I am out of money.” Liu Chang-Jun looked at him indifferently. He stared at Wan Zheng-Hao’s throat and said the words that he had kept saying to Wan Zheng-Hao.

“I seriously warn you again!” Wan Zheng-Hao spoke fiercely, “I will give you money when you are in need, but please don’t stare at me like that! My throat, my heart… Every important place of my body! Please! I am begging you!”

Liu Chang-Jun reached his hand and stayed quiet coldly. His eyes were still staring Wan Zheng-Hao’s body.

“Here! Here it is!” Wan Zheng-Hao was extremely annoyed. He really wanted to kill himself. He took out a big pile of notes and threw them to Liu Chang-Jun. And then he turned around hurriedly and left quickly. He just wanted to leave as soon as he could.

He truly didn’t want to be with that guy anymore!

[What the hell is he!]

Liu Chang-Jun didn’t leave the Ling-Bao Hall right away like he always did. He walked to the yard quickly. There were some first-class assassins that he had recruited earlier and some people that were perfect to be developed into good assassins. After training them for half an hour, he finally left for other business.

[Master said that I needed to speed up and power up!

Then I shall speed up and power up!

I shall do whatever I can to make things go faster and more efficient.]

…

When Ye Xiao left the salesroom, it was already early in the morning.

He casually walked to a street.

And then he kept walking to the direction to the Palace of Hua-Yang.

He stopped and suddenly thought of the words of Su Ye-Yue. ‘Ye Xiao, I am your wife today!’

‘Xiao Xiao, don’t forget to find me!’

‘Xiao Xiao…’

The jade on his neck seemed to be heating up. It was like reminding him of something.

The girl with a pretty face must be in the Human Realm Above Heavens.

Ye Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky as a sigh escaped from his lips.

He was suddenly upset about being apart to the girl.

The sweet girl who always put her hands on her back and jumped whenever she was walking; the sweet girl who had always tilted her jaw and raised her head while looking at him; the sweet girl who stood in front of him, trying to protect him with her weak body at that fatal moment… who put all her true love and her future on his shoulders…

He was temporarily unable to see her again.

Maybe… it would be a long time that he couldn’t see her again!

Ye Xiao spoke sentimentally, “It is like a dream from the previous life to the present life. Everything in the human world seems like disappearing fogs. The most difficult thing to forget is the love from a genuine girl. I swear I will bring my sword to make my name resounding in the Human Realm Above Heavens!”

He was upset at the moment. So he casually spoke some verse.

He left after finishing these phrases.

Suddenly, someone applauded.

- Pah! -

- Pah! pah! -

And then a soft voice sounded, “Good verse! Good ambition! You truly are the Monarch of the Ling-Bao Hall!”

Ye Xiao was shocked. He calmed himself down immediately. He turned around and smiled, “You came fast.”

In front of him, there was a girl dressed in white standing there. She was tall and slim with a white silk on her face. On her dress, there was a mist lotus.

She was the girl who had a story with Feng Zhi-Ling before, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu.

Behind the silk, her eyes which were as shiny as stars were staring at Ye Xiao. Those were eyes like pearls in the sea. She could beat most of other girls in beauty with only her eyes.

At the moment, there were some complex feelings in her wonderful eyes. There was indifference, as well as also anger.

“Did I? That was not fast!” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu smiled blandly and said, “If I don’t come quickly, how can I realize Brother Feng is actually so good at literature. I am truly admiring you.”

Ye Xiao smiled, “That is nothing. I was disgracing myself.”

He could sense that Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was having some complex emotions. She could have burst it out at any moment. Once she did, that would be a huge explosion.

Ye Xiao didn’t really understand a girl’s mind, yet he wisely avoided such topic.

He knew that this girl was not weak like she looked like. She was a dangerous figure.

He could still feel the pain when he was being punched by this girl. He still didn’t know why she was so mad at him.

It wasn’t a happy memory about him being beaten up. It was a much worse memory that he got beaten up by a girl. And it was the worst memory that he didn’t know why he got beaten up!

Facing such a girl, he thought that he should be rather careful when talking to her! He didn’t know when, how and why she would suddenly get mad at him!

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu didn’t hear what she wanted to know from Ye Xiao. She wouldn’t give up, so she blandly said, “It is like a dream from the previous life to the present life. Everything in the human world seems like disappearing fogs. The most difficult thing to forget is the love from a genuine girl… Brother Feng, may I ask what this ‘the love from a genuine girl’ means? Maybe you can explain it to me.”

Ye Xiao spoke coldly, “I don’t have anything to explain to you. Don’t you think the love from a genuine girl means something?”

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu said, “Of course I understand how difficult it is to lose genuine feelings from a girl. However, when you were saying it, I heard the sadness in your voice. Apparently, such love from a girl must mean more in your situation!”

She didn’t wait for Ye Xiao’s answer and continued, “The sadness was from the bottom of your heart. I am afraid you must be sad for a special someone in your heart, right?”

Ye Xiao frowned and said, “It is merely my own business. I am afraid you don’t have to be involved with it, right?”

He thought it was reasonable to say so.

However, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was furious after hearing that.

[What? I don’t have to be involved with it? You mean I have nothing to do with it?]

She gritted with her teeth. [I have been touched by your all around my body! Now you are thinking about other girls! And you actually said those words in front of me! If I have nothing to do with it, then who does?]

If Ye Xiao could hear her, he would be rather confused. [Come on madam! I am thinking about my girl. Does it have anything to do with you? Why can’t I think about other girls? Who do you think you are to me?!]

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was here for some serious business. However, as they had started this topic, she had to figure it all out.

“Heh heh. Of course I have nothing to do with it. I am not someone special to you anyway.” She spoke calmly, “However, I am just curious. Who on earth has such luck and sharp eyes and can be so smart to choose you among all the heroes and handsome men in this world?”

Ye Xiao frowned and said, “Sharp eyes? Listen to you… Are you saying that I am ugly? Do you mean I shouldn’t be liked by girls? At least no one should fall in love with me for the first sight?!”

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu smiled and said, “I didn’t say that. But you are getting close. I mean that there must be something wrong with her eyes. That is correct.”

Ye Xiao was mad and he said, “You are betraying your conscience. I, Feng Zhi-Ling, am tall, stately and handsome. I am good looking and have a perfect body. I am in a good position and I have power and wealth. I must be the golden man that all the girls in the world will come after.”

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu couldn’t help laughing till she bended down. She said, “Fine. I won’t judge your appearance, no matter how you lie about it. The confidence of you must be the No.1 in the world. Nobody can be a match to you.”

And then she continued, “I wonder, what kind of beautiful girl she is that can make Brother Feng fall so deep in love? Who is she?”

She intentionally acted like she was shy and said, “It can’t be me… can it?”

Ye Xiao was stunned. And then he laughed and said, “Your confidence is also rare in the world. I think I am not a match to you on such a point though. I won’t accept the ‘No.1’ you gave me. I should give it back to you.”

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was angry and her eyes became cold, “Brother Feng, you are truly good at talking. Your words are sharp and you tongue is like a knife.”

Ye Xiao said, “You too have sharp eyes, a deep mind and wise schemes. Although your face is somehow a flaw, you already have enough advantages to make everybody else jealous. You don’t need to care too much about it though. There is never a perfect person. If one’s life is too good, the gods will punish her…”

“Shut the fxck up!” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu finally burst out and shouted. Her eyes were full of cold glows like lightning, “Brother Feng, you went too far by saying such words to a girl!”

Ye Xiao spoke with a sincere tone, “Facing your face, I truly couldn’t say words like pretty, beautiful, gorgeous… I am not like you, who can say things against the conscience. Please forgive me. Please.”

They were in equal positions. In fact, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was the one who needed help. Ye Xiao was upset and annoyed before they met, and he had been irritated by Wen-Ren Chu-Chu. That would never bring about any good words in their conversation.
