Realms In The Firmament

Fang Wudi was frightened. The bird that he was grabbing tight suddenly disappeared.

He looked around and saw a small white cat standing at the entrance of the cave. The cat was as small as a human fist, staying there, staring at him with disdain in its eyes.

In the cat’s claws, there was a bird with no feathers.

It was the bird!

“That’s…” Fang Wudi was shocked.

He was severely injured, so he was only ten percent as powerful as he used to be. However, he was still vigilant. He didn’t notice the cat’s arrival. When the cat moved over him, he actually didn’t have time to react. Why was a cat so unbelievably fast?

“Brother Fang, it has been a while.” A soft voice echoed. “A few days after our last enjoyable meeting, here we are again.”

A man appeared at the entrance while talking.

The man was smiling, handsome and elegant, who must be an extraordinary man.

“The Xiao Monarch? Ye Xiao!” Fang Wudi blankly looked at the young man. He felt like he was in a nightmare.

‘Why is he here?’

‘How did he find my secret cave?’

“Exactly.” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “You have a good memory, Brother Fang. Much better than an idiot!”

Fang Wudi was angry. ‘He still teases me!’

‘How can I not remember?’

‘You crippled me! The wounds are still bleeding…’

“What a poor bird.” Ye Xiao took over the bird from Erhuo’s claws. He looked at the dying bird, which had almost lost all its feathers and had both legs dragged behind. He knew the legs were broken, so he felt sorry for it.

The bird managed to open its eyes and recognized Ye Xiao. That only brought the bird despair.

It was first in the hand of its vicious master, and now in the wicked young man’s hand. It reckoned it was going to die!

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh and took out a supreme dan bead and put it before the bird’s mouth.

The bird was obviously surprised, so it didn’t immediately eat it.

Ye Xiao shouted at it, “I am giving you the dan bead, which means I am not going to eat you… Why would I do such a stupid thing? Don’t you understand? You silly bird!”

The bird hesitated, and eventually swallowed the dan bead.

Ye Xiao nodded and carefully held the bird’s two broken legs. He breathed out a flow of purple qi on its legs. The bird started chirping because it felt so good.

The bird was originally a spiritual plant. It had the physical body of a bird, but it was not an animal. The dan bead cured wounds, but it didn’t work so well on a spiritual medicinal plant. It had less than half of the efficacy of the dan bead. However, the purple qi Ye Xiao blew on its legs was extraordinary!

The purple qi was the purest spiritual qi of the East-rising Purple Qi. It was good for all spiritual plants, which meant it was the best cure to the bird’s injuries!

However, Ye Xiao didn’t know that much!

He didn’t know the purple qi was the best treatment, so it took out some paste to apply to its broken legs. He also used two small warm jade sticks to hold the legs, and some white cloth with medical liquid to bind up its legs.

He turned over his hand and put the bird into the Boundless Space.

Fang Wudi watched Ye Xiao do everything but said nothing.

Ye Xiao was the stronger one. If Ye Xiao was annoyed, Fang Wudi would get killed! No matter how tough Fang Wudi was, he didn’t dare to say a word to irritate Ye Xiao.

Any small mistake could kill him. He wanted to live, not to die!

He thought for a while, but couldn’t hold his anger down, so he said, “Ye Xiao, is this a trick you are playing?”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and didn’t answer it.

“You told me what the bird was on purpose and then let me go! You wanted to use me to catch the bird! You knew I would sacrifice it for myself, so you showed up at the last second to be the good guy!”

Fang Wudi was so angry and regretful. “Ye Xiao, you are so contemptible! You are shameless!”

“Am I?” Ye Xiao humphed coldly and said, “If you didn’t try to eat the bird if you didn’t want to hurt the bird, why is the bird so badly hurt? You have lived together for a long time. You are its beloved master, yet you tortured it!”

“If you didn’t want to kill it, how could I get it?” Ye Xiao stared at the man coldly sand said, “You were going to kill it. You were killing it!”

Fang Wudi was shaking, “You are contemptible… You are shameless… You are vicious…”

He kept repeating the same words like a mad man.

Ye Xiao smiled coldly and said, “Fang Wudi, you are going to die now! When you go to the netherworld, be invincible there if you can!”

Suddenly, a broad and bright stream of sword light flashed. Fang Wudi realized what was happening, so he tried so hard to jump. However, he froze in the air.

Ye Xiao’s flashing sword attack cut through his throat.

Erhuo disdainfully meowed. It raised up its head, and then a rolling flow of energy slowly got into its mouth.

The most powerful cultivator of the west outer range of the Limitless Ocean, Fang Wudi was dead!

Ye Xiao carefully picked up the feathers of the bird on the ground and breathed a sigh.

‘Fang Wudi… must be quite a weirdo.’

‘He has been having the best gift around but never knew it. When he finally knew it, he actually tried to ruin it. He had killed the connection that had taken him thousands of years to build to the bird…’

‘That must be his fate…’

‘A man’s greed always gets back at him.’

In fact, Fang Wudi was unfortunate to meet Ye Xiao… That was also one of the reasons why he failed…

Ye Xiao left the cave. Hawky was chirping in the sky and then landed on Ye Xiao’s shoulder. It seemed to be so close to Ye Xiao.

The man, the hawk, and the cat, they were heading down the hill and back to the path as the One Meter Higher Sky.

Little Bab, the bird, was lazily lying somewhere in the Boundless Space.

Ye Xiao specially created a special space, different from the nine Spaces, for the bird.

It was totally a strange place for Little Bab.

There was no spiritual qi in this special space. There were only cold rocks.

Little Bab only felt one thing in its heart, and that was despair.
