Realms In The Firmament

“No. No… Please stop… Have mercy… Don’t torture me… Please… No…” Master Xiao was begging. His sound was shaking the Hall of Life and Death.

No matter how he begged, how he swore he would tell the truth, Ye Xiao just showed him a bland face and continued the torture.

People who heard Master Xiao’s screech were all frightened. They couldn’t help imagining the scene. ‘What kind of cruel torture is Master Xiao going through at the momen? He has been screeching for nearly two hours…’ It scared everybody who heard the screeching sound…

Ye Xiao stood in front of Master Xiao, staring at him with a friendly look. Master Xiao had just recovered from the injury again.

Master Xiao was still screeching. His face was twisted. His body was fully recovered, but he was still crying with tears. There was some smelly scent filling the air of the room.

The extreme pain had made Master Xiao unrestrained. Even though the pain in his body had gone on for a while, he was still screeching. He was lost in the torment and couldn’t get out of it.

Ye Xiao quietly watched Master Xiao and waited with silence.

He waited and waited. Finally, Master Xiao was sane and he opened his eyes with fear, staring at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao gently said, “Was it good? Do you want to enjoy it again? I can help you with that!”

“No, no, no… I don’t want it anymore…” Master Xiao was shaking. He looked at Ye Xiao, begging him. His eyes were full of fear. “What… What do you want to know… Ask me… I will tell you everything! I will! I…”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Good boy. If you made the right decision earlier, I wouldn’t have to do all this. You are such a despicable bastard! You just don’t know how to behave unless somebody teaches you some lessons!”

“I am… I am despicable… I am a bastard…” Master Xiao nodded, begging for mercy.

At that moment, he had completely forgotten about elegance or pride. The only thing he wanted was to avoid getting through the torment again.

For him, Ye Xiao was totally a demon!

Elegance, pride, and dignity were all just a joke for him at the moment!

“Well, tell me why you hate me first. What is the reason?” Ye Xiao casually asked.

He stood by the side and looked at Master Xiao gently as if they were good friends.

Master Xiao saw the look in Ye Xiao’s eyes, and he started to tremble. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Because… I… I am deeply in love with a woman, but… she… she only wishes to marry you… She is in love with you…”

Ye Xiao was shocked. At that moment, he nearly jumped up in shock.

It surprised Ye Xiao a great deal.

Ye Xiao’s eyes were lit with strange lights. He slowly said in a deep voice, “Who is the woman?”

He sounded calm, but his heart was beating fast.

Who was that woman? Was it Xuan Bing? Or was it Jun Yinglian?

For a long time, Ye Xiao had been holding down the feelings in his heart. He missed the ladies. At this moment, he couldn’t help it anymore.

He was a bit lost all of a sudden.

“It’s… Lady Su.” Master Xiao was heartbroken. “Lady Su Yeyue.”

“Yeyue! Are you sure?” Ye Xiao was lost. An image of a beautiful girl appeared in his sight. He still remembered how adorable the girl was. He couldn’t forget the sadness they both felt when she had to leave… He didn’t forget the taste of the liquor at the wedding…

“Yue…”

Ye Xiao took a long breath. He missed her.

It was not Xuan Bing or Jun Yinglian. It was Su Yeyue! He finally heard something about her!

In fact, things happened for a reason. Ye Xiao knew about the Human Realm Upon Heavens because of Su Yeyue’s master, Meng Huaiqing, who was the queen in the East Sky of the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Even though Ye Xiao was already this powerful now, he still couldn’t tell at what level Meng Huaiqing was.

The only thing he knew was that Meng Huaiqing was more powerful than Yue Youyou, one of the great ancestors of the Seven Lotus Clans. Yue Youyou was the strongest person Ye Xiao had ever met in the Human Realm Upon Heavens so far. He finally had a rough thought about Meng Huaiqing and the East Sky King’s cultivation level!

Su Yeyue was the disciple of Meng Huaiqing. She must be powerful as well, and she had always been a beautiful lady. It was reasonable that Master Xiao fell in love with her!

Master Xiao was in love with the lady, but he didn’t even have the chance to express his love!

That was it!

Master Xiao moaned in pain, and he felt his heart was broken.

It was real…

The most unbearable pain in the world was what Master Xiao had at the moment.

He was in his rival’s hand, and he couldn’t even end his miserable life. All he could do was humbly beg for mercy.

That was the only thing he could do.

Master Xiao knew that he was only a talented man who was good at playing songs for Su Yeyue. He was never a rival in love for Ye Xiao. In fact, he didn’t want the lady for pure motivation. He wanted support from the lady, so he could become even more famous!

He hated Ye Xiao because he couldn’t admit being defeated by a weak shrimp from the lower realm. He thought Ye Xiao could very possibly rise to the top of the world because the lady would eventually marry him. He was jealous. He was a young lord of a great clan, a talented vertical bamboo flute player. He couldn’t accept failure in the competition against some other great clan’s young lords, but not somebody from the lower realm!

“Tell me how you met her.” Ye Xiao stared at Master Xiao with cold eyes. He frigidly said, “Don’t tell me some story of coming across her by accident. It can’t be real. Her master is the queen of the East Sky.

“Meng Huaiqing!”

Ye Xiao spoke the name of the lady.

Master Xiao was shocked.

‘How does he know this?

‘It doesn’t make sense… He doesn’t know why I hate him, which means he doesn’t know about Lady Yeyue… How does he know the background of Lady Yeyue?

‘Who is this man?’
