Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: 33 Heavens
The young man before him was about the same age as Little Ninth, but he was much more cheerful than Little Ninth. The two actually shared many similarities in character—both were so full of confidence, except that the young man’s confidence stemmed from his powerful family background whereas Little Ninth’s confidence was all earned through his own efforts in combat.
A sour feeling welled up in Lord Beiting Jing’s heart as he let go of the young man’s hand, lifting his own to gently stroke Xu Xiaomo’s head as if Little Ninth were right by his side at this moment. Lord Beiting Jing made a promise, “I am Little Ninth’s older brother, which makes me your older brother too. If I go to the 33 Heavens, how could I not visit my own brother? Xiaomo, rest assured, I will definitely come to see you!”
At this time, the Chi Fei Brothers’ attention was not on Xu Xiaomo at all. After eating and drinking for a while, listening to a little music, they were caught by the sisters Nangong Qianxi who, under the suggesting glances of Ximen Song and others, locked the Chi Fei Brothers with admiring gazes and started asking about affairs in the 33 Heavens.
It was unclear whether they were a bit drunk or completely bewitched by the sisters Nangong Qianxi, but they blurted out everything they knew about the 33 Heavens, “The emperor of the Spirit God Clan has a total of 108 consorts. The Spirit God Clan’s Crown Prince Ming Xiu has one princess consort and four wives. It is said the princess consort was so jealous, she had one wife killed. Now, ah, the vacant spot has nearly driven the women of the 33 Heavens mad.”
“I’ve heard that the Emperor of the Western Wilderness uses a night pot inlaid with gold and jade!”
“Speaking of the 33 Heavens, who spoils his wife the most? It used to be the Devil Emperor. After the Demon Queen passed away and the Devil Emperor descended to another plane, it was then either Emperor Mo or Emperor Feng—and now it’s either Emperor Mo or Emperor Feng.”
“Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, located beyond the Angry Wind Forest by Thousands of Miles of Barrier Mountains, is occupied by the Qilin Clan. Guan Yang’s father is a Qilin, and his mother is human.”
“Dragon Phoenix Valley is dominated by divine dragons and Divine Phoenixes, filled mostly with their descendants. Back then, the Demon Queen’s magical beast, the Nine-Colored Dragon Phoenix, underwent Nirvana there.”
“The Nine-Colored Great Sovereign of Valley of Pills is the weakest in strength but has an extensive network of connections, all because he knows how to refine pills. But you guys don’t have to worry; although Zhu Lin is arrogant, he is very loyal. He has a good relationship with Beiting Huang, so if you go there, he will protect you.”
“If you go, it’s best to start at Ash Snow Plains. That’s in the northern part of the 33 Heavens, the domain of the Snow Emperor, a strong figure from a different time and space who doesn’t show much respect for the Spirit God Clan. It’s desolate there. Only after your strength has grown can you travel to the central or southern regions.”
The two shared information as if a mechanism had been triggered, non-stop chattering away. Meanwhile, Xu Xiaomo just pressed her lips tightly together like a clam shell, picking up her cup and drinking somewhat listlessly. Lord Beiting Jing, at this point, was clearly drawn to the information dropped by the Chi Fei Brothers. When he returned to his senses, Xu Xiaomo had already slumped beside the table.
This nearly gave Lord Beiting Jing a fright; he felt annoyed with himself for not paying more attention to the young man, for just now he had confidently said that Xu Xiaomo, like Little Ninth, was his brother, yet now he hadn’t lived up to his responsibilities as an older brother.
The wind over the lake stirred the curtains, blowing into the cabin, causing Xu Xiaomo’s shoulders to shrink slightly in the breeze. Without another word, Lord Beiting Jing picked up Xu Xiaomo and said to Ximen Song and the others, “The night has grown deep. Let’s head back too!”
