Realms In The Firmament

Ji Mo grouchily said, ”You think you can fool me by just telling a long speech of nonsense? Just say something I can understand!”

”You silly pig!” The man who was also wearing black standing beside the Chief frowned and scolded, ”Tianji means when Chief was making the bet with you, he knew he would win! He was taking advantage of you! Besides, in this universe, who do you think is powerful enough to break the delusion the nine of us created?”

”Even Chief Xie in his prime days may possibly fail to break it. That young man is just a little bit stronger than an ant… You actually can’t understand it… I really want to punch you in the face. Tell me you are not wasting all those years you have been spent on cultivation…”

Bird Man laughed and said, ”Stupid Ji Mo, you thought you took advantage of Chief, yet it turns out he has been taking advantage of you all the time. What a big loss for you and you shouldn’t have lost it. Hahahaha…”

Ji Mo was stunned. He was an experienced cultivator too. Now that he was enlightened, he understood it immediately. What he felt next was regret. ”I am so stupid…I really am… It is such a simple truth… Oh… I knew Chief will never bet on something he didn’t have confidence in, but I still accepted it… I am such a pig…”

”Don’t be so pessimistic. It may be a good thing as well.” The man in black who was called Chief blandly said, ”You two have been treating your daughter like she is the most valuable treasure of yours. After so many years, you still haven’t found her a husband. You have to know that all girls should get married when she is in the proper age. Why do you keep her around you so crazily? Do you want your own daughter to live alone for her whole life? Is it really what you want for her?”

Ji Mo lowered his head and said, ”But… But… There is no man in the world who deserves my daughter…”

The others laughed and scolded, ”You fool!”

Ji Mo made a long sigh. He was still in regret.

”Do you really have to be like this? Isn’t it just to fight against Chief Xie for seven full days? He won’t kill you after all… Why sigh like that?” Somebody disdainfully said, ”Just grit your teeth and it will pass soon…”

”Bastard! Who says I am thinking about that! That seven days mean no sh*t to me…” Ji Mo raged up and then became downcast again. He mournfully said, ”You all know about my wife… If she knows that I lost my girl’s lifelong event just now… she would definitely kill me…”

The others were all speechless at the same time.

Apparently, they all remembered Ji Mo’s tough wife. They actually looked a little pale in the face.

They obviously felt terrified about that tough woman.

”Right!” Ji Mo suddenly clapped and spoke in high spirits, ”Brother, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Today, with sincerity, I invite you all to come to visit my home. Let’s get some drinks and spent some wild time together…”

”Ahem!” Before Ji Mo finished, their Chief coughed and spoke seriously, ”It is a great thing for us to be invited by a brother. We should pull off all other matters for that… However… Qingwu told me to do something for her… What is it? Anyways, it is quite important. Wife’s matter is a matter beyond the heavens. I shouldn’t have forgotten it… It must be this mess…”

He frowned and pretended to be lost in thoughts while walking fast away. - Shoot! - He was gone.

”Oh, I know! My sister… She… You should ask me… Why are you leaving so soon…” Wizard slapped on his own leg and said, ”I have to tell him what my sister asked him to do… He can’t screw that up…”

- Shoot! - He was gone too.

Bird Man started to laugh and said, ”Holy hell! He is indeed the Wizard. He actually lied about something by making it sound like the truth! Wait… He can’t do this… I have to catch up with him and tell him not to do it anymore. How can he do this to his own brothers? That is so dishonest. You guys stay here. Don’t even think about taking the chance from my hand…”

Then he started to move as if he truly was going to catch up with Wizard…

Ji Mo sighed and said, ”He is my real brother, unlike the other. The others value no brotherhood…”

The most good-looking one among the men sighed. ”Oh, it turns out I am not a good brother for him. I see. I guess I should leave…”

- Shoot! - He was gone!

Ji Mo was stunned and said, ”I didn’t mean you… I truly didn’t…”

The others all felt overjoyed and pretended to be angry. Somebody shouted, ”You didn’t mean him? So you mean we don’t value brotherhood? Ji Mo, I can’t believe you are talking about us. Finally, we see your true heart… This isn’t done yet. Ji Mo, you should better spend some time alone to yourself. Do not come to us in three thousand years. We can’t erase the grudge in our hearts in such a short time…”

Then they all left like birds flying away, leaving all troubles behind.

Ji Mo was shocked for a while and then was clear-headed. He shouted furiously, ”Bastard, bastard, a bunch of bastards! You all disregarded our brotherhood… You defrauded me and left… You know exactly what I meant, yet you passed the buck to me at the end… Bullsh*t erasing the grudge in your goddamn hearts… That can’t be more absurd…”

He then turned over his head and saw one man who was still there.

Ji Mo, who was so upset, suddenly had his eyes lit up. He went forward to the remaining guy in an approachable way. ”Ah! I knew Wolfy is the best. Come here. Let’s go to my place and have some wonderful drinks… Just eat whatever you want to eat and drink whatever you wish to drink…”

He sighed. ”You can only recognize the good grass in the strong wind, and the true hero in the chaotic time. Wolfy, I am so touched by your choice… I won’t regret that we have shared happiness and woe together. I am sure now, you are my best brother…”

Wolfy just dumbly stood there. Suddenly, he started to shake, and a fierce aura appeared around him. He shouted with abuse, ”Goddamn it, Rabbit! He actually blocked my Jing and Mai right before he left… It held me still! That… That… That is such an implacable hate…”

Ji Mo froze.

”Oh damn!” When Wolfy was shouting, he suddenly saw Ji Mo, so he started to tremble. He stopped shouting at once, then just ran away fast.

”Wait! Wait a minute!” Ji Mo grabbed his arm and begged humbly, ”Brother, please, show me kindness… You are all I have now…”

”What are you doing? You said they knew what you meant, right? I am foolish and I don’t know what you mean. Look. You only want them. I am the only one you don’t want to stay with. Let go of me! Don’t drag me!” Wolfy pretended to be angry, trying to get away!

”Holy hell! So now you are going to play the language games, huh? No way! You are the only one I have now, kid! You can’t leave! This is the last chance to show whether we are still brothers or not anymore!” Ji Mo shouted.
