Realms In The Firmament

It might be exaggerated to call it a great return because Erhuo was lying on the floor gasping heavily at the moment. Its small tongue stretched out on the floor. Apparently, it was really exhausted after being chased after by Wu Fa for such a long time. It was too tired to care about its appearance anymore.

Erhuo moved the fastest in Qing-Yun Realm indeed. It wouldn’t be difficult for it to get rid of Wu Fa within seconds. However, the problem was… it couldn’t do that.

It had to move fast, but not absolutely faster than Wu Fa. Its job was to make Wu Fa believe he could catch up with it!

If Wu Fa knew that he could never catch up with it, he might immediately turn around and go back to Heaven’s Terrace. Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao would become in danger again. The Golden Soul Tower was marvelous. It could defend Ye Xiao several from attacks of Wu Fa. However, it couldn’t protect him after that. After all, Golden Soul Tower needed energy from the user. It seemed an excellent move to use the tower to defend Wu Fa’s attack, but that was actually Ye Xiao’s good luck!

If Wu Fa knew about the Golden Soul Tower, he might be more interested in the tower instead of the fruits!

Maybe Wu Fa didn’t know it was useless to eat multiple Divine Ying Yang Fruits, but he definitely knew what the tower was. It actually resisted the full-power attack of the world’s best cultivator, and that was only when in a level two Dao Origin Stage cultivator’s hand. If somebody else got the tower, Wu Fa might lose his title of the world’s best!

That was why Erhuo had to keep Wu Fa from going back. It had to keep Wu Fa around at least before Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue were both safe!

To keep Wu Fa from going back, Erhuo had to draw him to a further place. That assured a longer distance and longer time.

Erhuo couldn’t fly too fast, because it couldn’t let Wu Fa give up on the chase.

It shouldn’t be this hard if that were the only thing Erhuo had to do. In fact, there was something else Erhuo had to keep in mind during the chase. That made the job ten times more difficult for it.

It was not difficult, but not easy either. It must not let Wu Fa discover that the white shadow was not a human being!

It meant Erhuo had to do something to pretend a human, something like wearing a robe!

It had to maintain a certain distance from Wu Fa, certain speed while flying, not to move too fast… and pretended to be a human. That was such a tough job indeed.

After a great effort, it finally made Wu Fa fly over ten thousand miles away. When it entered the cave, it was exhausted. It couldn’t do it anymore, so it returned to Boundless Space immediately.

Luckily, Erhuo had its privilege in Boundless Space. No matter where it was, it could enter the space as it wanted. That was absolute freedom. Even Ye Xiao didn’t have that privilege!

In Boundless Space, over a dozen Silver-scale Golden-caruncle Snakes were carefully watching the cat gasping.

They were all confused, [What is wrong with it? It’s a cat… Why is it gasping like a dog? Isn’t it too unreasonably biracial… We have never seen such a thing before in our snake lives… This is eye-opening…]

Erhuo had a sharp sensation. It noticed Ye Xiao was getting into Boundless Space, so it turned its back on the entrance and showed its butts to Ye Xiao. It was still gasping. Apparently, it wanted Ye Xiao to know how much it had done for him, that it had done a great job.

”You are back.” Ye Xiao grinned and held Erhuo in arms. He softly touched Erhuo. That looked so spoiling. However, he didn’t talk as nice as it looked. ”Look at you. You must be weak. I can’t believe the foremost spirit in chaos is like this… You must keep practicing. Do more exercise every day… Look at others’ cats. Each of them could walk for a whole night. Look at you, you are so tired that you even look like a dog. This is disgraceful. Don’t tell anybody you are a cat anymore… Such a humiliation to other cats…”

Erhuo heard it and its hairs always all stood straight up. It argued, ”Bull-fxcking-shit! Even if all cats can walk for a whole night, have you ever seen any cat that can move as fast as I do? I literally flew about thirty thousand miles in one night! Are you telling me I am weak? Why don’t you try to fly thirty thousand miles at the same speed? I wish you will be exhausted to death, you piece of shxt!”

It was over ten thousand miles from Heaven’s Terrace to Dark Cloud Mountain, but it took a turn for many times plus it returned from the mountain, so that was even more than thirty thousand miles.

”Besides… what do you think I am so exhausted for? I am exhausted like a dog! Didn’t I do that for you? Don’t you think you owe me a thanks? How could you say those words to me! It hurts… You heartless prick…” Erhuo was shouting angrily, but it sounded just like a spoiled child.

”Fine. Fine. Thank you…” Ye Xiao apologized, ”Well… that Divine Yin Yang Fruits, well, that you call them Cycle Twin Fruits, shouldn’t you start working on it now? Come on. It is better sooner than later. Besides, before I eat them, you got nothing from them, right? Only after I eat them, and you can get what you want from them. That is perfect cooperation. It makes sure you become stronger. That makes you more like the foremost spirit in chaos, doesn’t it?”

Erhuo rolled its eyes up and stretched its legs. Its ears kept flicking. Apparently, it decided not to talk to him anymore, because it was too angry.

[I am exhausted like hell now… yet you actually want me to get on working immediately… Where is justice… Well, you are right about one thing though. I should deal with those fruits as soon as possible…]

[Should I get on now? Should I do overtime for it?]

Erhuo was gasping, and its eyes were rolling.

Ye Xiao knew that Erhuo was going to do it, so he felt delighted and laughed out loud. He held up Erhuo and walked forward, speaking in a low voice, ”Erhuo, the credit is on you today. You deserve a reward… Do not eat them up too soon…”

Erhuo knew where Ye Xiao was taking it to, so it humbly calmed down. It even meowed with satisfaction.

It turned over its head to lick Ye Xiao’s hands. What an adorable thing!

Where Ye Xiao was heading was the Heavenly Crystal Marrow.
