Chapter 1418: The Power of Flattering
What Xuan Bing said seemed to be unintentional, but it exploded like a thunderclap.
That was right. Almost all sects and clans in the Qing-Yun Realm had sent their people over to the base, then why hadnât the West Hall and the East Hall?
[Are they too arrogant to do so? Do they feel shame to be with us? OrâŠ]
âWhat Lian Lian said is right. It concerns too many people. Letâs put it aside for the time being.â Ye Xiao took a deep breath. Murderous intent with anger was boiling inside his eyes. âLetâs focus on the mole issue. We should get them all out⊠and kill them all!â
Xuan Bing frowned and said, âBut if we do this for real, will it consume too much of Rouâer? Maybe it will put on an unendurable burden on herâŠâ
When Xuan Bing lived in Land of Han-Yang as Bingâer, there were three people that she was close to. The first was definitely Ye Xiao, and the second was Song Jue. Rouâer was the third closest to her. Back in Land of Han-Yang, Bingâer was quite sentimental about Zhao Pingtian and Rouâerâs story. Although Rouâer spent most of her time staying with Zhao Pingtian, she sometimes talked to Bingâer.
In fact, Bingâer had helped Rouâer a lot to stabilize her soul in the old days. Xuan Bingâs Ling Xiao Ice Art was greatly enhanced after Ye Xiao removed the hidden threat inside her body. The yin qi which naturally went out her body was exactly the most helpful qi to Rouâer. However, Rouâer and Bingâer did not know it. Xuan Bing got to know it afterward, but she would not want to take the credit. Even if Rouâer did not absorb the yin qi, it would only be wasted. It was better to use it on Rouâer!
Now as Xuan Bing thought about it, she only wanted to help Rouâer out this time, by pouring her pure yin qi into Rouâer, so that Rouâer would not need to consume too much of her own energy. Other than that, with Xuan Bingâs company, Rouâer will be much safer!
Ye Xiao blandly smiled and decisively said, âDonât worry about it. I have a plan for that.â Ye Xiaoâs plan was to do some conversion from energy to soul. Since the soul of death could supply soul energy, soul energy could also enhance the soul. Erhuo had absorbed quite a lot of soul energy earlier. With the help of some medicines, Erhuo could produce some special dan beads that contained soul energy. However, Erhuo was too stingy to take it out.
There was one more thing that annoyed Ye Xiao. When the golden hawk returned from the Oracle District, it said it had to go somewhere and take something back. It was fine if it just took whatever it was and returned soon, but it had been over one month and there was no message from the golden hawk at all. That was not okay.
Where was the golden hawk?
If the golden hawk was here, Ye Xiao could feel a lot easier to fight the battle against the demonic creatures and have a bigger chance to win the war.
What happened to the golden hawk? Why wasnât it back yet??
The golden hawk was incredibly powerful. If it was a human being, it should be more powerful than Wu Fa. Although it wasnât the most powerful in the Qing-Yun Realm, it was peerless in speed! Erhuo might be a bit better than Hawky, but Erhuo was totally crazyâŠ
Ye Xiao was pretty troubled because of it.
As for Darky, his lovely horse, he had freed it to the wild long time earlier.
Ye Xiao entered the Boundless Space, and Erhuo was curling like a furry ball, sleeping with a big snore. That looked pretty cozy.
âGet up now! It is time to work!â Ye Xiao dragged Erhuoâs ear, but the cat just ignored him.
When Ye Xiao was talking, Erhuo could clearly hear it inside the Space. It knew its evil master was going to use its soul power. Erhuo felt like he wanted to kill itself.
Now as Ye Xiao entered the Space, Erhuo had to pretend it was sleeping.
[I donât care what you say. I will not get up. I will not even open my eyes!]
[If I get up, the tiny teeny bit of soul power that I have collected so hard will be goneâŠ]
Ye Xiao shouted at Erhuo, whispered to its ears, promising it all kinds of profits. He used every possible method to get it up. However, Erhuo just would not open its eyes. Ye Xiao touched it, poked it, it would not react to it. Ye Xiao dragged it up by grabbing its tail, and it was still loose like a dead cat.
Ye Xiao surely knew that the cat just didnât want to use its soul power, that was why he was angry, but also felt it so hilarious.
Nobody could wake up who was pretending to be asleep. That was the unchangeable truth!
Well, however, Ye Xiao decided to challenge the truthâŠ
First, it was rude and simple. Ye Xiao got close to Erhuoâs ear and yelled. âMeow!â
Erhuoâs ear fluttered. [Come on, master! Stop yelling if you donât know how to yell it the right way! That was unbelievably scaryâŠ]
[I felt like I was walking across a field of tombsâŠ]
However, Erhuo had a pretty strong willpower. Although its ear moved, it still didnât wake up.
[I am not opening my eyes. What can you do?]
It turned out that the truth was not easy to change!
Ye Xiao was a persistent man. He wouldnât just give up like that, would he? He rolled his eyeballs and came up with another idea. He took Erhuo up in the air and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he made a surprised exclamation, as if he found something unbelievable.
Erhuo was disdainful. [I donât care what you are pretending. I wonât move even a bit. You are not going to shake my mind!]
Ye Xiao murmured, âNo wonder Erhuo is always fractious. It turns out to be a female cat⊠With my eyes wide open, I actually can not see its penis⊠Well, this is the truthâŠâ
Erhuo raged up as it heard the âtruthâ!
It got rid of Ye Xiaoâs hand quickly and waved its claws furiously. âMeow! Meow! Meow meow! Meow! Meow! MeowâŠ?â
[You are a female cat! Your families are all female cats!]
Erhuo was angrily spraddled, pointing the thing between its legs with a claw, shouting at Ye Xiao furiously!
âCanât you see it? Canât you actually see this huge baby? Canât you? Canât you really?â
Ye Xiao was surprised by Erhuoâs reaction.
He knew that Erhuo might react to the provoking, but he had no idea it would be so emotional!
That was unbelievably emotional!
âWhy the hell are you so furious?â Ye Xiao squinted at Erhuo and said, âYou are just a cat⊠Why do you care about your penis so much? Do you have to? Do you really? For real?â
He squinted at the tiny penis of Erhuo, which was as small as a peanut bean, and he disdainfully said, âAre you questioning my eyesight? Tell me then. Do you think anybody can see it? Do you? Do you really?â
Erhuo was provoked by Ye Xiaoâs satire, and it was furiously jumping up and down with all the hairs standing straight up. It kept meowing loudly and said, âYou know I am a cat! You know I am! Donât you know what a cat is? This is what a cat looks like! I absolutely have the biggest pen*s among all the cats that are the same size as me! I am also the strongest! I am incomparable! You know absolutely nothing, stupid human!â
Ye Xiao despised it, and blandly took off his pants, pointing his own thing between the legs, and then dragged the pants on immediately, flaunted and said, âSee? Look at it! What is big? Now you know what is big! This is big!â
Erhuo was wrathful! It even wanted to scratch Ye Xiao with its sharp claws! Its voice became sharper that it was like some demonic echoing sound in peopleâs head. It was freaking out. âHow can you f*cking compare yours to mind? Why donât you compare yours to a f*cking elephant? Why donât you compare yours to a f*cking dragon? You⊠You vile⊠You are contemptible! You contemptible bastard!â
It was gasping because of the fury, and it didnât even sound like a cat anymore!
âFine. You are a male cat. Okay? You are a tough, strong, incredibly virile male cat!â Ye Xiao spoke like he was trying to be magnanimous. As he said it, he felt like he was lying, betraying his conscience.
[Look at its tiny little peanut⊠How can I call that virileâŠ]
[Oh. This is sad. My conscience is lost. I have lost my bottom line⊠I actually made up a lie like for my purpose. I lied to the cat, and I lied to myself. My image is ruined⊠Everything is ruinedâŠ]
Erhuo was finally eased a little as it heard Ye Xiaoâs words. However, it was still gasping because of anger.
âSince you are so tough and virile, I guess you will be happy to make me some dan beadsâŠâ Ye Xiao lifted an eyebrow and said, âI need some dan beads that can fix the soul of the dead. It isnât difficult, is it? What do you think, virile cat?â
Erhuo suddenly slacked down. Its ears fell down again, and it closed the eyes again.
[Holy sh*t! I forgot to pretend to be asleepâŠ]
It seemed hitting on the right spot could wake up who was pretending to be asleep after all!
Ye Xiao raged up this time, and said, âF*ck! Donât you dare pretend to be asleep again!â
He grabbed Erhuoâs hind leg and threatened it fiercely. âI am going to make you a female cat today! Believe it or not!â
Erhuo felt the horrible eyes of Ye Xiao staring at the thing between its legs, and it was shaken.
Its furry tail suddenly moved over to cover the crotch, and it angrily meowed.
âDo you really have to threaten a cat like this?â
âI donât think I am threatening a cat!â Ye Xiao humphed and said, âI am threatening the creature that claimed to be the worldâs peerless creature in chaos! Didnât you call yourself that?â
That was a good one. He quibbled about Erhuo, but also sucked up to it at the same time.
Erhuo looked better. It meowed proudly and rubbed the whiskers, looking like it was deep in thoughts.
However, because it was upside down at the moment, it didnât look as good as it imagined. It was only hilarious and stupid!
âDonât tell me the worldâs peerless creature in chaos couldnât even give me a few simple dan beads!â
Ye Xiao smiled and said, âIf you truly canât, donât ever mention anything about the peerless creature in chaos or anything like that! Stop talking like you are omnipotent! You are not⊠You are just not so goodâŠâ
Erhuo was about to rage up again, so Ye Xiao hurriedly said, âThat is why I think it is just an easy job for you! You are so capable!â
Erhuo was satisfied by the flattery. It rubbed the whiskers again and thought, [Well, he is right. It is not a difficult thing for me. All I have to do is to move my hands slightlyâŠ]
âJust a few dan beads! It is a piece of cake for the peerless spirit in chaos!â Ye Xiao kept sucking up to it.
âThatâs right. Just a few dan beads. For me, it is⊠Humph. It is just like breaking windâŠâ Erhuo looked prettily enjoying it. Its eyes were half closed, and it was humphing with pleasure.
After a while, Ye Xiao left the Space with satisfaction.
Erhuo was lying on the floor, waving its tail. [Master is clever. He is wise. He actually knows I am omnipotent, great, and honorable⊠Just a few dan beads⊠That is justâŠâ
Suddenly, it exclaimed out loud.
It jumped up, thumped its chest and stamped its feet. âMy soul power! My soul power! My soul power! Ah⊠Five percent of my soul power! He took it⊠Meow! Ah⊠Why would I give him fifteen of those dan beads? Ah⊠Ah⊠I am going crazyâŠâ
âI am crazy⊠Why would I give him thatâŠâ
âFive percent of my soul power⊠I want to kill myselfâŠâ
It thumped its chest and stamped its feet like it was in pain, that it didnât want to live anymore.
Ye Xiaoâs flattery made it feel so comfortable that it actually gave him fifteen Soul Power Dan beads.
When Ye Xiao was gone, Erhuo had still been lost in the flattery, until just then.
Erhuo had stayed with Ye Xiao for a long time. Soul power was the thing that it would never take enough. Its small body could actually contain a huge amount of energy. It never felt filled by the energy. Oh, there was once it felt full about itâwhen it took countless soul clouds in the Sky Soul Mountain.
That time, the clouds were so big that the energy even filled up the entire Boundless Space. Actually, Erhuo had a lot of soul power to use, but the energy in the clouds was aggregate of countless fallen ancient cultivatorsâ souls. Erhuo was only able to keep the aggregate. There were still a lot of that energy clouds inside, but Erhuo had to digest it bit by bit, to make it an energy that it could actually use. Ye Xiao had taken only five percent of Erhuoâs soul power, but that was already enormous. The soul power was as much as several top-class cultivatorsâ soul powers combined together. It took Erhuo just a few seconds to make the dan beads, but digesting the energy clouds could take Erhuo ages. That was why Erhuo groaned with bitter resentment!
âOh noâŠâ Erhuo was groaning, lying on the floor and not moving like its bones were all lostâŠ
Over a dozen Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes were looking at each other with their weird eyes as if they got to know something.
âHiss, hiss⊠It turns out the boss loves to be flattered⊠It actually became a retard when it was buttered upâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠Thatâs right⊠Who could think of thatâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠Look at it. The master only flattered it with a few words, and its tail was rising up to the heavensâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠The master was lying⊠That was some lame flattery. We all knew that. We could see that! But the boss actually couldnât⊠It was even enjoying the fake flatteryâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠That is rightâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠Just a few words and the man took so many dan beads with him. That was too easyâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠That is right. I am so jealous of him. I want only one of that Soul Power Dan beads⊠No, half of a bead would be enough. I just want a tiny bitâŠâ
âHiss, hiss⊠What do you think if we go suck the boss up too? Maybe we will get a treat tooâŠâ

The Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes shined up their eyes at the same time like a lot of lightened bulbs.
They felt like they had discovered a new land in the ocean. In fact, they were like some paupers who suddenly got a method to make a lot of money.
