Chapter 1857: Hooked

The red little thing was a stone monument, so it never moved. The searching team wouldn’t notice that a monument would listen to them talking…

“Master said that Ye Xiao must be here. How come we can’t find him?” One of them said.

“Master must be right. He always has a good reason. Let’s wait longer.” Another one seemed pretty calm.

“That’s right. We should search around a few more times. There must be some places we haven’t searched yet.”

“Yes. Expand the area we’re searing. Meet up here before this monument.”

“Excellent!”

“No matter what, we have to kill him here, or he will be a big trouble someday!”

“That’s right!”

The red little thing was concerned.

‘Are they here to kill Ye Xiao? No wonder he wouldn’t come out. People are waiting to kill him out here!’

‘How did he get to this situation? How come people hate him? They traveled such a long way to the North of North Sky to kill him… That must be some hatred…’

It was more anxious now. ‘If he knows people are waiting to kill him here, he won’t come out…’

‘What should I do?’

‘No. I can’t let him know!’

‘I will tell him that the world out here is full of peace and beautiful scenes…’

It entered the special s.p.a.ce several more times. No matter how beautifully he described the world outside, Ye Xiao just refused to leave! The red little thing was so angry that its power got weaker…

…

A cloud rose up to the sky…

Ye Xiao made a long shout, and it shook the sky. He had reached the third level of the Undead Stage!

Jun Yinglian held her sword in her hand. A flow of sword light rose across the sky, moving toward Ye Xiao. She wasn’t holding back at all.

Ye Xiao laughed and waved the Stars Sword in his hand.

The two of them were having a real fight. One sword swing raised up clouds in the wind. One sword glitter waved up the blue ice and white snow.

Somewhere in a corner, the small red shadow was watching the exciting movie scene. “What do you practice for if you won’t go out?”

“No matter how good you are now in your battle against each other, you are not going out there to show the world your power…”

“Useless! Slothful! Spiritless! You are wasting your power! You two useless Undead Stage cultivators!”

“You are soulless!”

“My bright future… You ruined my glorious life…”

The red shadow was so upset.

For quite a long time, Ye Xiao used the Boundless s.p.a.ce as a medium to compress the cold spiritual qi in the special s.p.a.ce. He kept absorbing the energy. Meanwhile, he kept eating a lot of dan beads. Jun Yinglian’s cultivation level had boosted up a lot.

He did want to leave this place.

However, when the red shadow came to persuade him, he decisively rejected it. “No. I won’t leave. Nowhere could be safer and warmer than this place. A peaceful and warm life is the most important thing I want. Why would I chase after anything else?”

The red shadow freaked out again and again. It had totally lost hope.

One day, it couldn’t stand it anymore…

That day…

“Uncle!” The red shadow disguised itself as a child, sitting in front of Ye Xiao with sadness in its face. “Uncle! Please… What should I do to get you out?”

It almost cried in tears.

The red shadow could never be more shameless. He actually called Ye Xiao uncle!

Ye Xiao humphed and said, “No means no! How many times do you want me to repeat it? I really don’t want to leave. Don’t you see how comfortable I am? I have everything here but danger. I have food, drinks, and my wife. I have a long life ahead of me. Why would I go out there? Would I go out to make troubles for myself? Am I a fool to you? I guess you don’t know. I have a lot of enemies out there…”

The red shadow was speechless. ‘Yes, I know. I know, and I know more… Your enemies are waiting outside for you…’

“I am not leaving! It’s horrible out there! Dangerous!” Ye Xiao shook his head so hard that his cheeks flew up.

The red shadow made a turn-over and said with tears. “Uncle! Please. If you stay here, I won’t be able to leave either…”

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, “That’s insane. We have rights. We choose to stay. It won’t affect you. You can leave if you want. We won’t drag you away anyway… I don’t care if you want to leave or not. In fact, I would love to see you go. We will be much happier without your disturbance. You are the only noise in our life right now!”

The red shadow was so upset. “Come on. How can I leave if you are staying?”

Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes and said, “Just walk! Come on, now. Do you have anything else to say? Please go. Don’t come anymore. I need to cultivate, and I need to please my wife. I don’t have time for this. Goodbye!”

The red shadow begged. “Uncle, please. Let’s talk. Listen to me… A man has to pursue something in his life… It is such a wonderful world out there… Don’t you want to see everything before you are too old?”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Stop fooling me. What else can I pursue now? Living here with my life, how many people can actually have such a wonderful life? I am enjoying it now. How many people have a peaceful and warm life? I am having it. I have a long life ahead of me, living in dreams. Why would I go out and step into those troubles? I am not interested!”

The red shadow thought for a while. ‘He is right. He got everything, a good life, a beautiful wife, a long life… He is living on prime days. I wouldn’t choose to leave if I were him… Maybe I should stop this…’

Ye Xiao was going to walk away, and the red shadow was terrified. It grabbed Ye Xiao’s sleeve and begged. “Brother, please. Think about it. Just go out for a while… I will give you whatever you want…”

“I got everything I want. I am more than satisfied now!” Ye Xiao humphed and turned away.

The red shadow felt hopeless, watching Ye Xiao leave.

Ye Xiao walked a few steps and then turned around. He rubbed his head and said, “Will you really give me whatever I ask for?”
