Chapter 1251: The Most Costly Employnt!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
In the Boundless Space, Erhuo was busy working on the fruits. After getting benefit from three people’s breakthrough, it had realized how much the fruit could bring to it.
After absorbing the last wave of that amazing qi, it was only one step away from breaking into a new level.
Erhuo was so incredibly hardworking that even Ye Xiao couldn’t believe it.
“Is this... is this still that lazy cat? Why is it suddenly so hardworking? Has a soul snatched its body? It can’t be...”
The golden hawk kept fleeting in the sky, with excitent in its big round eyes.
Erhuo had removed the danger from the fruits and rged every twin fruits into one. Now, the fruits were all in Ye Xiao’s pocket. Hawky believed that if it behaved well, Ye Xiao would definitely spare so to it.
It felt pretty satisfied and happy to have Ye Xiao as its master.
Ye Xiao had tried to give hawky the fruit. At that ti, the golden hawk had a feeling that... its body perfectly accommodated the fruit. It seed the fruit would work even better in its body than in the human of Dao Origin Stage. When it ate the fruit, no energy would be leaked out. It would actually absorb every bit of the power in the fruit. It was a great thing, but if it took enough power from the fruit, it might have to ascend to Human Realm Upon Heavens imdiately because it had reached a certain power level.
That was why it hesitated.
Hawky had been alone for so many years until finally, Ye Xiao accepted it, and it accepted Ye Xiao too. Besides, it had a friend, Erhuo, in this world. It didn’t want to leave this place of warmth and harmony for another world in which it might be solitary again.
If it hadn’t t Ye Xiao and Erhuo, it would definitely swallow the fruit and go up to the new world without hesitation. However, after the warmth and friendliness, it couldn’t bear losing what it had at the mont to go to a world where it had to be alone. The relationship had changed it.
[I can wait. We can ascend together. I have been lonely for many years. Now, I finally have a family. Why should I hurry? There is no need to live the solitary life again.] That was Hawky’s choice.
Erhuo was pretty impressed by Hawky’s choice. Although it just disdainfully owed with a pair of half-closed eyes, arrogantly twisting its butt and walking away as if it didn’t care about what Hawky thought, it was quite overjoyed deep in its heart.
[Well, the bird is unbelievably a lot weaker than
in real power, but... it is always better to have a company, isn’t it? At least life won’t be lonely...] Erhuo thought, [Should I? When I regain my pri status, return to the top of all creatures, and break through the ultimate level... should I do sothing to boost the little bird up?]
[Should I make it the new mber of the Twelve Great Spirits?]
That would be a huge favor with great kindness of Master Erhuo.
There was a saying—when a man achieves success, people around him get benefits. In fact, the cat succeeded, the bird got the benefit!
That was the reason why Erhuo could talk to Hawky in an arrogant attitude, “ow! Rember! Show your Master Cat so respect. Keep following my instructions... Say so nice words from ti to ti... You will get what you deserve when the day cos.”
Hawky didn’t know much about Erhuo’s background, so it always showed disdain to the cat. Sotis, it would stretch out its wings and start a fight against Erhuo. Erhuo was not a rival to the golden hawk at the mont, but luckily, it was faster. If it wasn’t faster, it should have been beaten up hard by Hawky many tis.
Since the day Erhuo hatched, it had never shown interest to any living things except Ye Xiao. Now, it had shown its generosity and kindness to the hawk and only asked it to behave like a little brother. However, the hawk actually didn’t accept it, and that was totally unacceptable for Erhuo!
Thus, it changed its mind and thought, [When I reach the peak, I won’t give a damn thing to the stupid bird! ow! That was unacceptably annoying...]
...
“There it is. Dark Forest. Our destination...” Han Bingxue stood on the golden hawk’s back, pointed ahead, and talked, “Boss, that is where you fought a tough way out back in that year... After that battle, this place in Dark Forest has beco a place where the sects would send their disciples for training. Look at it now... there are no high-level spiritual beasts anymore... This place is wracked.”
[High-level spiritual beasts?]
It enlightened Ye Xiao that he had conquered many spiritual beasts in the fourth layer of Mountain of All dicines so ti earlier...
If Han Bingxue didn’t ntion spiritual beasts, Ye Xiao might have forgetten about it.
He had a bunch of beasts hanging around sowhere he could easily reach, which ant he had a huge group of powerful fighters hanging around sowhere doing nothing. It was such a mistake that he never thought of using them in battle.
He himself couldn’t give orders to the beasts, but Erhuo was definitely the commander. [Erhuo claims to be the Foremost Spirit in Chaos. Think about the Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes, which are all much stronger now after absorbing the energy in the Boundless Space. If those snakes are out here in the real world, they are definitely super-level spiritual beasts. However, they all bow before Erhuo, entirely obedient to Erhuo. If Erhuo indeed has the power to rein all spiritual beasts, it ans I have an incredibly powerful ace card in hand!]
[When the beasts in the fourth layer of Mountain of All dicines start an attack together, even Wu Fa and Xuan Bing couldn’t defeat them!]
Ye Xiao couldn’t stop thinking more about it. If he had those spiritual beasts as an army under his command, he could even fight a battle against all the people of the three factions together...
When he was lost in thoughts, a stream of sword energy suddenly rushed up from sowhere below with a raging killing intent. Even though Ye Xiao was in such a height, he could still clearly feel it.
“There is a dominant cultivator fighting!” Ye Xiao’s eyes turned profound, and he started gathering his qi.
“At this critical mont, fighting in this place, they must be the ones who want to hurt my parents and sisters. No other superior cultivators would co here and fight. Let’s get down there!”
He tapped the golden hawk’s head.
Hawky understood, so it made a long howl and suddenly shot down toward the Dark Forest like a flying arrow in the air!
At the sa ti, Ye Xiao’s spiritual mind had entered the Boundless Space and stopped Erhuo, who was busy working on the fruits at the mont. “Erhuo, the beasts in the space of Mountain of All dicines, can we use them?”
“ow?” Erhuo stared at Ye Xiao and thought, [What do you an can we use them? Use? That’s a weird word! Are you talking about eating them as so food? That is not bad. I can share so delicious at with you!]
It automatically licked its lips and talked to Ye Xiao through mind connection, “I don’t see why not, but I am not sure if they taste as good as I imagine. Those are native spiritual beasts in Qing-Yun Realm and only in normal levels. They don’t offer much nutrition just so you know. I don’t really like to eat them that much. Well, I guess I can try so. Maybe they taste good. So spiritual beasts are not nutritious but tasty after so necessary cooking process...”
“Shut your mouth now, you idiot! All you can think of is food. I just want to know if we can make them fight for us in battle!” Ye Xiao stopped Erhuo’s daydream and said.
“Of course they will fight for us.” Erhuo raised its whiskers and said, “Those beasts are our properties. We can eat them if we want. We surely can tell them to do anything we want... If any of them dare to disobey , I will cook them and eat them up! I bet they dare not!”
Ye Xiao was speechless while staring at Erhuo. [All you can think of is eating!]
[Look at you! You are roughly the sa size as my fist. Look at those beasts! Any of them is dozens of tis or even hundreds of tis bigger than you. Yet you still think that you can just cook them and eat them?]
However, no matter how speechless Ye Xiao was, he never doubted Erhuo’s capability. After all, it had conquered all those Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes.
“Okay. Just go there and tell them that we may need them to fight. When I tell you to let them out, you go and let them out! Spiritual beasts rage up and conquer the realm!” Ye Xiao said.
“ow!” Erhuo agreed. It seed pretty excited.
What Ye Xiao asked was truly just an easy job. What excited Erhuo was the last few words—spiritual beasts rage up and conquer the realm!
Nobody could defeat a massive crowd of spiritual beasts. As the leader of the beasts, Erhuo must be in a pretty important position when that day ca!
[When that day cos, I will beco a king! The little hawky will beg in tears to call
chief! It will cry for the seat of the pri footman to !]
[When it begs, I will refuse it again and again!]
Apparently, Erhuo was influenced by Ye Xiao’s personality. That was why it beca so shaless now. [Sha? What is it? How much is it? Co on!]
However, it was only Erhuo’s daydream.
The spiritual beasts in the space of Mountain of All dicines actually didn’t want to go out and fight!
They had two reasons. First, Ye Xiao hadn’t thoroughly assimilated the entire Mountain of All dicines yet!
The spiritual beasts in the mountain thought at the sa ti, [You haven’t conquered the mountain yet! What makes you think that you are the boss? No way!]
What upset Erhuo was that... its power suppression didn’t work in the space of Mountain of All dicines!
[How is this possible? It doesn’t make sense!]
The spiritual beasts had shown enough respect to Erhuo due to Erhuo’s true identity, but they weren’t convinced by Erhuo’s power. It was impossible for them to obey a weak, small cat! To fight a battle under its commands? No way...
Erhuo was so angry that it nearly exploded.
[I have given my word to my master about your obedience! Look at you... You actually do not follow my lead... How is this possible?]
[Don’t you think you should show
more respect? I am the Foremost Spirit in Chaos after all!]
It just couldn’t believe what happened, so it grabbed a spiritual tiger and asked the question. The answer from the spiritual tiger totally freaked Erhuo out!
“ow... Little tiger... Listen. You know I am a powerful cat, don’t you? You want to be my subordinate in the world of beasts, don’t you?”
“Absolutely not!”
“Wait! What? I am talented, born with the best potential in the world! I have a great future ahead of ! My achievent is unlimited! It is your honor to have a leader that is as powerful as . Do you understand?”
“I understand! You are right!”
“Wait... Yes? What? You understand? You know I am, right?”
“Yes, of course. Why do you think we all are so respectful to you? We know you are talented, and we know that you are way too higher in the level systems!”
“Hmm... Then why don’t you listen to ? Look, although you are a super-level spiritual beast, you are only equal to level nine of Dao Origin Stage if you are people. In fact, you may be weaker than a level nine Dao Origin Stage man. Why don’t you accept
as your boss?”
“Heh... You said it yourself. You are born with all advantages. You have a great future ahead of you. Your achievent will be unlimited. Look. I know you will, but let’s focus on the present instead of the future, shall we? We spiritual beasts only care about the present. Nobody knows what will change tomorrow. What you are doing is asking us to do sothing without getting any benefits in return... We are spiritual beasts. Super-level spiritual beasts. Not so stupid animal!”
“What? Wait. Okay. Listen. I have so followers. They are spiritual beasts too. How co they are all so obedient to ? I point at the east, and they won’t dare to go west. They live only by depending on my words... However, they are not super-level beasts yet. Do you an they won’t listen to
if they beco super-level?”
“I see. Look, you are overthinking. I know their situation. Your followers are different from us. Even after they beco super-level beasts, even beyond the limits of this world, they will always be your loyal followers. They are born with respect and awe for you. Even though you are weak, they still fear you. We are different beasts. We have felt the suppression and difficulties that are much stronger than you can ever imagine—the power of the chaotic universe. Your power ans nothing to us. Before you are over our league in power, do not think that we will follow your orders. If you piss us off, we will beat you up without hesitation. Now, do you understand? Did I make it clear?”
Erhuo was totally blank, but it finally understood the truth!
Erhuo was one of those who knew the story about Mountain of All dicines. It recognized that this mountain was a treasure that was left by an extrely powerful figure from beyond the chaotic universe in history. The spiritual beasts had experienced the suppression from that person, so they wouldn’t be threatened by anybody in this realm anymore. That powerful person could defeat Erhuo with a finger snap even when Erhuo was in its pri days!
Erhuo suddenly felt frightened. Luckily, those spiritual beasts were all at high levels. They were so intelligent that they could see who Erhuo truly was and how it connected to the owner of this mountain. Otherwise, the beasts might give Erhuo a casual attack, and that attack could have easily killed it!
The spiritual beasts were sure that they wouldn’t help Erhuo to fight the battle. Erhuo was displeased, but there was nothing it could do. It didn’t even dare to scold the beasts!
However, it wasn’t so stupid cat after all. Sothing the spiritual tiger said enlightened Erhuo. ‘We spiritual beasts only care about the present. Nobody knows what will change tomorrow. What you are doing is asking us to do sothing without getting any benefits in return...’
Didn’t it an that they would help if they had benefits in return?
Erhuo changed his plans and talked to the beasts again, “Look, we won’t let any of you fight the battle and get nothing. Every one of you who shows up in the battle to help us will get one supre dan bead. Supre dan beads, guys, are rare in the realms. Only I have as many as I want. It can improve your cultivation for at least fifty years!”
The eyes of the spiritual beasts in the fourth layer lit up at the sa ti after what Erhuo said.
That was right. They all agreed.
However, they would only do the battle thing one ti in the coming future!
Spiritual beasts had their dignity and honor. They were not for sale!
Erhuo promised it was the only battle, and then left the space of the fourth layer awkwardly.
[Holy kitty... That was embarrassing!]
[That was the most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my life!]
[I even... used my master’s supre dan beads... to do sothing I should have done by myself...]
[I can’t let him know about this...]
Erhuo made a decision in its mind.
Ye Xiao had no idea what exactly happened after Erhuo confidently promised it would take care of those beasts. He thought Erhuo was the head of the beasts, but instead, it was only an employer... Ye Xiao was lost in the imagination of his invincible spiritual beasts army. Erhuo didn’t know that it had done sothing remarkable in history.
What it had done was bringing about the most expensive employnt in history!
