Chapter 1204: Done with the Fruits!

Han Bingxue nodded in silence. He was lost in thoughts.

[That is right. Have I ever had any improvement after I reached the peak of level nine? I have reached the top, haven’t I? That’s how I told myself. I don’t have any room for improvement. I don’t need to work hard. I just need to let my martial art slowly improve itself. That’s what I need!]

[Those who are stronger than me either inherited some special power or comprehended some unique martial art. I don’t have that good fortune. I don’t need to pursue that!]

[These are what I usually told myself... I have been fooling myself with these words. In fact, I have lost my ambition, I have lost my propulsion... only because I have already reached the peak of level nine. I have confronted Xuan Bing and Wu Fa recently. The former one played me in her hands, while the latter defeated me even when I was seven times stronger than I should be. I was totally wrecked. That’s the gap. That is the difference that I haven’t thought of in mind before!]

[The reason why I am so much weaker than those people... is that I never have an improvement for ages, isn’t it?]

[A man without the heart of the strong is never a real powerful man!]

Ye Xiao knew what Han Bingxue was thinking, so he decided not to disturb him.

After a while, Han Bingxue stood up and frowned. In a deep voice, he spoke, “I have grasped something, but I seem not to comprehend anything real... It is misty... I feel like I understand something, but I don’t know what it is guiding me... I...”

Ye Xiao calmly said, “Well... I can’t help you with that. Because... you know... it is something that you get when you get it, but you don’t get it when you don’t. It is conflicting between perversion and enlightenment, but also complementary. That is the law of nature.”

“There is a line that, when you break it, you get it; if you can’t, you don’t get it,” Ye Xiao said.

“I understand that.” Han Bingxue inspiredly said, “Don’t worry, brother. I won’t always be like this. I have found the biggest flaw of myself. I will get through it.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

A white shadow flashed. Erhuo was out of the Boundless Space. It climbed along Ye Xiao’s arm from his left hand and got over his head, and then got down to his right hand along the right arm.

After that, it took the same way back to the left hand.

Apparently, Erhuo was excited.

“Is it done? Didn’t you say it would take you three days?” Ye Xiao was thrilled.

Erhuo seemed to work pretty efficiently!

“Meow!”

Erhuo proudly raised its head. [Look at me! Who do you think I am? Lord Cat! It certainly is done! I was working in full power, which means it should be an extraordinary job! What? Do you think I get the title of the foremost spirit in chaos with nothing?]

“Well done!” Ye Xiao clapped and said, “Quickly show me the fruits!”

Erhuo meowed. It meant, “Come to Boundless Space if you want to see them. After removing the impurity inside those fruits, they have become pure crystal essence. Without the restraint from the Space, the spiritual qi might leak away. More importantly, they might attract unnecessary attention.’

“Bingxue, wait for me here.” Ye Xiao talked to Han Bingxue, “Now that you have found your direction, adjust your status as soon as possible. The real strong men never just talk. You have a clear path and a promising opportunity, then you shall have the right status.”

Han Bingxue was spirited. He shouted, “I am in a great status! I am all yours! Brother! Just give me your commands! Anything you want! I am okay with any positions you like!”

He might have guessed that something good was going to happen... To think of the simplest, he knew there were a lot of Divine Yin Yang Fruits...

He nearly drooled when thinking about those fruits...

He was so excited that he started to howl like a wolf. He actually grabbed a piece of rock on the floor and put it into his mouth. – Crack! – He actually chewed... With the broken pieces inside the mouth, he giggled... “Hahahahaha...”

Ye Xiao was stunned. He was utterly shocked by this human-shaped real erhuo [1]... [What the hell is wrong with you? I haven’t said anything, have I? Why did you suddenly become an idiot? What did you say? What did you just say? Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what you are doing? Are you having an aftereffect from that bloody Seven-in-one Mergence trick?]

Erhuo was annoyed since it could sense Ye Xiao’s mind. [What the hell? Why do you have to use my name on that idiot? Don’t you know that it is a supreme compliment to use my name on somebody else?]

[But... What the hell, mate... This guy is entirely nitwitted! Using my name on him is ultimately an insult to me! Most importantly, this is the second time you used my name on this moron! Come on, as my master, you should at least give consideration to my feelings!]

In the end, Erhuo concluded its anger into a sound of meow!

The hawk, as another audience to this scene, tilted its head while looking at Han Bingxue, and then just turned aside with disdain. [That is so embarrassing... Is he indeed a peak-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator?]

[He actually grabbed a piece of rock and started eating it... What the hell?]

[While chewing the rock, he actually laughed excitedly...]

[What a pervert... This is the first time that I have ever seen somebody sick like that... That definitely opened my eyes...]

When Erhuo meowed, Ye Xiao had finally sobered again. He remembered what he should do immediately, so he surely didn’t have time for that idiot. He hurriedly asked, “Where are they? Come on! Take me to them!”

It was the Divine Yin Yang Fruit they were talking about after all. Even Ye Xiao was excited!

Before what Erhuo did, the fruits might bring him negative effects other than a boost on cultivation. However, Erhuo had removed the impurity. That meant... If he ate the fruits, he might become the most powerful person in Qing-Yun realm. Even if he couldn’t, he could at least return to his prime status as Xiao Monarch in his previous life!

There was a white jade plate in the Boundless Space. Ye Xiao didn’t know where it came from, but it was right there. Inside the plate, there were forty-two pairs of fruits. Erhuo was lying beside the plate, touching the fruits with its paws.

It entirely ignored Ye Xiao when he entered the Space. There was rolling purple qi coming out from its head.

Ye Xiao was surprised. Two fruits just slowly turned into one inside Erhuo’s paws.

The new fruit was the combination of two fruits, but it was in the size of only one fruit. However, the fruit became red and white in stripes, and there was a pattern on the fruit.

After a while, he noticed that the pattern on the fruit was changing... It seemed the powers in the two fruits were still merging with each other...

...

[1] Erhuo roughly means “idiot”.
