[The little one….. seems to be angry…..]
It was after so long that he finally could get along harmoniously with Jun Wu Xie and might even have a chance to advance in their relationship but….. it was now all ruined. In his heart, Jun Wu Yao had already ground the bones of Xiong Ba’s and Qing Yu’s into dust and scattered them in the wind. If those two people had not chosen to come barging in at the time when he was in a bad mood, why would the little one be unhappy with him?
If Xiong Ba and Qing Yu knew what Jun Wu Yao was thinking, they would have immediately knelt down to plead before the Lord.
The two men were wishing with all their heart that they had never met Jun Wu Yao who was just really too goddamned terrifying!
His hand having been broken and still held in contempt for intruding into his blissful reunion, who were they expected to run crying to?
“For the next two weeks, do not move this hand too much.” Jun Wu Xie exhorted.
Xiong Ba nodded dazedly, looking like he still had not recovered from being told that the demonic lord was just an aide.
Qing Yu was secretly bowing in deference to Jun Xie in his heart. He had already thought that Jun Xie was almost devilishly talented and now he had even proven himself more heaven defying. To have a man so immensely powerful that was willing to serve as an aide, such a show of dominance was not something anyone would be able to emulate!
“Go back then.” Jun Wu Xie issued her eviction notice.
Xiong Ba cradled his injured hand, and in a hesitant voice, he asked: “About the….. Did anything happen to you at the Heavenly Cloud Chambers? Did Qu Xin Rui…..”
Xiong Ba had not even finished his words when the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned strange. Jun Xie’s eyes turned completely cold and an intense murderous aura was raging behind Xiong Ba’s back.
Xiong Ba almost weeped on the spot, immediately realising that he seemed to have asked a question he should not have asked.
“My hand hurts! I need to go back and recuperate! Deputy! Quick! Help me walk!” Xiong Ba immediately shot to his feet and cradling his hand, he slipped out quickly from the room in escape as Qing Yu hurried to catch up behind.
The Clan Chief and Deputy Clan Chief of the Fiery Blaze Clan ran away, in such a panic under the cold glare of Jun Xie and Jun Wu Yao’s murderous aura that they did not even have time to close the door behind them!
“Why did you injure them?” Jun Wu Xie asked, glaring at Jun Wu Yao. She did not believe that Jun Wu Yao would be unaware of Xiong Ba’s and Qing Yu’s identities. With Ye Sha here, every single person around her, would be made known to Jun Wu Yao.
Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie’s darkened little face and he coughed lightly to say: “Sorry, am not in a good mood. And went slightly overboard in the heat of the moment.”
Cleaning up the bloodstains just outside the door, Ye Sha and Ye Mei almost choked on their own saliva.
[That was overboard?]
They both thought that Jun Wu Yao had already held himself back with everything he had! Based on the kind of mood he was currently in, not killing Xiong Ba and Qing Yu on the spot was already the greatest mercy shown to the two men! If their Lord had indeed gone “overboard”, those two men would by now have their bodies already completely reduced to ashes! !
Volume 11
Chapter 1059: “Sorry, Am Not In a Good Mood (5)”
Having witnessed their Lord Jue’s self restraint, the two of them were almost moved to tears.
They had never seen their own Lord Jue ever held himself back from his desire for slaughter!
Whoever he wanted dead, would not live another moment, and would never just merely have his hand broken. That was already the greatest form of restraint!
However…..
Before Jun Wu Xie, Jun Wu Yao’s self control was really going off the charts!
Jun Wu Xie suddenly tilted her head and stared at Jun Wu Yao, a questioning look in her eyes.
Jun Wu Yao did not want Jun Wu Xie to see the strong murderous aura he held within and he walked over to come before Jun Wu Xie with a wide smile while stretching out a hand to say: “If Little Xie blames me for that, then shall I break this hand of mine as recompense to you?”
And after saying that, Jun Wu Yao was about to break his own hand!
Jun Wu Xie then grabbed Jun Wu Yao’s hand, preventing him from doing something so horrifying.
Jun Wu Yao smiled.
“By not wanting me to break it, does it mean Little Xie wouldn’t blame me anymore?”
“…..” Jun Wu Xie felt as if she had been led in a circle to fall into this quandary but she was not willing to think about it anymore and just said: “Xiong Ba and his people are still useful to me. Do not hurt them anymore, especially not anywhere near to my room.”
This little bit of injury was really nothing in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes but it bothered her that the faint stench of blood would not disperse within a short period of time.
Jun Wu Yao’s gaze swung over to the figures of Ye Mei and Ye Sha who were hard at work scrubbing the floor. The figure of Ye Mei completely disappeared almost at the same instant that the gaze fell upon him and mere moments later, he rushed into Jun Wu Xie’s room like he had flown to retrieve a bunch of plum blossoms in full bloom, gripped in his hand.
“Young Miss, the fragrance from the plum blossoms would cover some of the blood’s stench and I beg for Young Miss to endure it for a little while more while we get those blood stains completely cleaned up.” Ye Mei said carefully. Only upon seeing Jun Wu Yao retract his gaze, did he then retreat out from the room to continue with the scrubbing of the floor with Ye Sha, squatted down just outside the door…..
The light fragrance of the plum blossoms spread through the air, which helped to reduce the stench of blood a little. Jun Wu Xie looked at the bunch of winter plum blossoms placed upon the table and reached out to pick up a small branch, and stuffed it into Jun Wu Yao’s hand.
A smile came into Jun Wu Yao’s hand.
“The stench is just as bad, from your body.” Jun Wu Xie said seriously.
Realising that the real reason the little one had “gifted flowers” to him was not because of love but disdain, the joy in Jun Wu Yao’s eyes was immediately replaced by depression.
“I’ll go wash up and change right away.” Jun Wu Yao said quickly with a smile, gripping the stick of plum blossoms in his hand before departing from Jun Wu Xie’s room.
The gifting of the flowers had obviously been shoved into his hand in disdain but Jun Wu Yao still gripped it tightly within his hand.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Jun Wu Yao’s departing back and her lips flashed with a faint smile that even she herself had not been aware of.
The courtyard that Jun Wu Xie stayed at was one that the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall prepared for guests of theirs and besides Jun Wu Xie, there was no one else staying there at the moment.
Xiong Ba finally returned to his room with Qing Yu’s assistance and before he could even settle down, a most nightmarish figure appeared before his eyes.
A loud thump sounded!
Xiong Ba had fallen on his behind to the ground!
“Wha….. What….. do you want?” Xiong Ba was white as a sheet as he stared at Jun Wu Yao.
“I’ve decided to stay at the same courtyard with Young Master Jun henceforth.” Jun Wu Yao said looking at Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba gulped loudly before he said: “I’ll have someone see to it immediately!”
Jun Wu Yao nodded in satisfaction and added: “Have them get a warm bath prepared.”
“Of course! Immediately! Right away!” Xiong Ba answered almost by conditioned reflex.
Jun Wu Yao then turned to leave, leaving behind Xiong Ba who had been almost frightened into insanity and Qing Yu who stood there stunned for a long while…..
Volume 11
Chapter 1060: “Jun Wu Xie’s Persistence (1)”
Xiong Ba had never ever seen it in his life, a “personal aide” with such
an overwhelming aura. With that kind of overpowering presence, what kind of aide would that make, as even the Grand Chieftain of their Thousand Beast City, Qu Wen Hao would not match up to even a microscopic fraction of it. Even Qu Xin Rui had not made Xiong Ba feel so weak before her.
Once Jun Wu Yao opened his mouth, it seemed to be in Xiong Ba’s subconscious mind to want to immediately kneel to receive his orders, a situation that made Xiong Ba feel like crying.
Where was the dignity of a Clan Chief he was supposed to possess! ?
However, Xiong Ba could do nothing but wipe away his tears in humiliation and quickly got people to clean up a room for Jun Wu Yao without daring to tarry in the slightest, the specifications of the room based exactly on Jun Wu Xie’s one.
In what way was that the treatment meant for an aide? It was obviously how they would do it for an ancestor!
Ye Sha and Ye Mei finally managed to clean up the blood stains from in front of Jun Wu Xie’s room completely after much effort and the stones were polished till they were so smooth they shone before the two were willing to stop.
Jun Wu Yao finished washing up and changed out of his clothes before he brought his fresh smelling self to come into Jun Wu Xie’s room once again.
“Now, do I still smell?” He asked, smiling widely at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
Jun Wu Yao sat down next to Jun Wu Xie and was sensitive enough to detect the little one’s emotions, which seemed to be less cold towards him than before.
“The matter with the Thousand Beast City, how does Little Xie intend to deal with it?” Jun Wu Yao asked, bringing the attention back to the main topic at hand. The objective Jun Wu Xie had coming to the Thousand Beast City, had been told to him by Ye Sha, but even Ye Sha was not fully clear on Jun Wu Xie’s full intentions here.
Before the objective was met, what kind of plans Jun Wu Xie had exactly, was not known to anyone.
“Dumb Qiao and the others are already looking into the location that the people have been imprisoned, and when they send back the news, we can then move.” To resolve the crisis the Thousand Beast City was faced with, the solution to it would not be found within the city itself, but outside instead.
“Do you want me to help?” Jun Wu Yao asked, resting his chin on an upturned palm, looking smilingly at Jun Wu Xie.
“No.” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Jun Wu Yao. All this time, although he frequently disappeared for periods, but every time whenever she was in need, he would always appear at the opportune time, resolving any teething problems that she was facing. She had to admit that Jun Wu Yao indeed held an immense amount of power, and any of the problems that Jun Wu Xie had faced so far, would before him, seemingly be easily dealt with.
But she did not want to always be dependant on Jun Wu Yao’s might. If she needed his help in everything, then what kind of meaning would there be to her existence?
She was not willing to be the golden canary under the wing of others. She seeked to be able to drive back her enemies with her own hands one fine day, to possess the capability to defend herself, and not one who was just a burden and an encumbrance.
This was what Jun Wu Xie persisted in, and the way she held her pride.
She was not willing to append herself under someone’s wing.
“Really? Within the Thousand Beast City, there are several people from the Soul Return Palace and although they would not be considered to be the finest fighters in the Soul Return Palace, but their powers are still beyond what you can currently handle. You might have acquired the method to temporarily raise your spirit powers, but those few people are true and proper Purple Spirits. You should know very clearly how big a gap there is between a true blue Purple Spirit and a temporary Purple Spirit.” Jun Wu Yao said, looking at Jun Wu Xie through narrowed eyes, mercilessly pointing out her inadequacies against the enemy without holding back at all.
“I have never intended to go head on against them.” Jun Wu Xie said. “If might is insufficient, then stratagems are needed to make up for it. If I am unable to even deal with these few people from the Soul Return Palace, would I still dare to say that I would be taking on the Twelve Palaces in future?”
If she chose to seek Jun Wu Yao’s help against these enemies right before her, then all that she had promised before would turn to become a joke.
Volume 11
Chapter 1061: “Jun Wu Xie’s Persistence (2)”
If she chose to seek Jun Wu Yao’s help against these enemies right before her, then all that she had promised before would turn to become a joke.
“And if the ploys turn out still insufficient?” Jun Wu Yao’s eyes were fixed on Jun Wu Xie.
“Utilize all that I am able to summon, use all that I am able to make use of. If that still does not work, I will retreat from the vanguard and bide my time as I build my strength, and when the time is ripe, I shall then stride forth to crush the enemy!” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes said, as her eyes flashed with the light of steely determination.
The journey she needed to embark on to go back home, had to be completed by herself, in order for her to gain enough strength to face all her enemies. Only when her own powers grew, would she be able to deter all those powers who seeked to snatch her ring spirit from her. That was the only way she would be able to, with her own hands, protect her family she held so dear, from any harm.
She had been the same in her past life, when she escaped from hell, she had only herself to depend on. The only path to survival for her could be carved out only by herself and she was used to fighting her battles all alone, gotten used to facing challenges on her own. Even when the opponent was a hundred times stronger than she was, she had to stake everything she had, and fight with everything she got!
“Retreat from the vanguard….. Bide time to build strength…..” Jun Wu Yao mumbled the words Jun Wu Xie said and he suddenly laughed aloud. “Whatever you want to do, don’t back at all. If you don’t need me to help, I will not make any moves.”
He believed in the little one’s powers and mind. In all the incidents she had been through, no one had been able to escape from her ploys as yet.
Anyway, he was already by her side and if anything untoward really happened, it still wouldn’t be too late for him to make his move at that time.
Truth to be told, Jun Wu Yao hadn’t really intended to step forth to completely resolve Jun Wu Xie’s predicament for her. He was aware of Jun Wu Xie’s persistence and knew that the little one strove to become stronger and that perseverance was not something that he could complete for here on her behalf.
The end of Jun Wu Yao’s mouth were turned up in a smile and his eyes were filled up gentleness never seen before in them.
He might not be able to forever accompany her by her side, but if he could just in the time that he was still around, see her gradually walking the path towards greater power, till she gained the power to protect herself, he would be able to set his mind at ease.
There were some things, that Jun Wu Yao would never say to Jun Wu Xie. He would use everything within his power, to provide protection and serve as an escort for Jun Wu Xie, and with the precondition that she would not suffer any critical or mortal harm, to watch her walk towards the pinnacle.
Retreat from the vanguard, bide time to build strength, as Jun Wu Xie had said, was exactly what he was doing at the moment.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head to look at Jun Wu Yao. The time they had spent together wasn’t all that long, but she had gradually been able to gain from him a sense of security, as if as long as he was there, she would be able to do everything she wanted without the slightest worry.
“Barring that Dumb Qiao and the others would encounter anything expected, they should be returning in another few days as I am guessing that the place that Qu Xin Rui has hidden those people isn’t too far away from here.” Jun Wu Xie said, recomposing herself. Before Qiao Chu and the others sent news back, she still had some time for her perparations.
But, on
the other hand, the thing with Qu Xin Rui might not be able to wait much longer.
A deep frown creased up Jun Wu Xie’s face. Qu Xin Rui had truly disgusted her this time round. She had initially intended to drag it out with Qu Xin Rui for a period but she was now no longer willing to do it that way!
Even having to cast another glance upon Qu Xin Rui would disgust her.
Seeing Jun Wu Xie frown once more, Jun Wu Yao seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He reached a hand out to smoothen the creases between the brows and said in a gentle voice: “If things disgust you, then don’t think of them anymore.”
All other things aside, he might not want to interfere. But that Qu Xin Rui’s life, he must finish with his own hands!
Volume 11
Chapter 1062: “Jun Wu Xie’s Persistence (3)”
Jun Wu Yao’s words allowed Jun Wu Xie to not go think of what Qu Xin Rui had done and she suddenly remembered something else.
“The seed that you gave me before, what is it actually?” Jun Wu Xie recalled the incident with the Soaring Serpent about the Devious Wyvern and she immediately asked Jun Wu Yao about it.
“Is there anything wrong?” Jun Wu Yao replied with a question instead.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. “Nothing is wrong, but it’s just something unexpected happened.”
An eyebrow lifted on Jun Wu Yao’s face. That seed was extremely useful towards spirits and would never cause any damage to them, which was why he had dared to let Jun Wu Xie use it. But Jun Wu Xie was now saying that something unexpected had happened and that had really made him pay attention to it.
“What happened?”
“Soaring Serpent, has not disappeared.” Jun Wu Xie said.
“I had previously thought that it had been completely absorbed but some time ago, I encountered a Devious Wyvern in the Thousand Beast City and the Soaring Serpent reacted very strongly towards the Devious Wyvern, where its emotions had even influenced my own emotions. That Devious Wyvern was swallowed up by Lord Meh Meh but it vomited out the spirit stone. The Soaring Serpent had then reacted very intensely towards the Devious Wyvern’s spirit stone. When I placed that spirit stone in my hand, golden tendrils suddenly appeared in my palm which wrapped themselves around the spirit stone and pulled it in to meld into my body. After that, the Soaring Serpent suddenly dragged me into my spirit and that was when I knew it has not disappeared. It told me that the seed’s power repaired its spirit and it wanted me to help it find the Devious Wyvern, to allow it to make a complete recovery.” Jun Wu Xie told everything to Jun Wu Yao without hiding anything.
