Chapter 1858: Can’t Leave!
Ye Xiao looked hesitant. He murmured to himself, “Forget it… This is a wonderful life… I should be satisfied… Forget it…”
The red shadow was spirited up. It finally grasped a chance, but Ye Xiao seemed to change his mind now. It freaked out again. “Grandfather! Just tell me what you want… Please… Just say it… You can always talk to me…”
It was grandfather now. How shameless!
Ye Xiao had already gone. He didn’t even hear the grandfather part.
The red shadow had almost gone crazy. However, it finally got hope again, or it might really go mad!
The next day, the red shadow came over again. It was so humble, calling Ye Xiao uncle.
Ye Xiao seemed to turn soft a little bit. He was hesitating.
The third day was the same.
The red shadow grasped hope, so it worked even harder to fawn on Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was hesitating even more. The red shadow thought that if it acted humbler, Ye Xiao might decide to leave… It needed persistence…
It kept giving new offers day after day.
Ye Xiao became more and more hesitant!
Three months later, the red shadow finally lost the last bit of its patience.
“Brother… Uncle! Father! Grandfather!” The red shadow looked at Ye Xiao and said, “Please, just say it! What do you want me to do so you will leave this place? I really don’t have much patience now. Just give me a word… Just end this now…”
Ye Xiao said, “I don’t think it is proper to ask. Forget it. I am doing really well here. Why would I bother…”
“Why? Come on! Just say it! It is no trouble for me! I will do whatever you say! I promise!” The red shadow promised. “If I say no, let the thunder strike me to death!”
Ye Xiao looked embarrassed. “Well, here is the thing. You were offering me many good kinds of stuff, but… You know. I want them all, but I can only ask once… I just… You can understand me, can’t you? I think your generousness has aroused my greed.”
“Wait? My generousness… Your greed… Fine. You are greedy. I see… Oh, I mean… I should be more generous to you!” The red shadow said, “What do you want? Just say it. Will you leave if I give you all those I offered to you? That won’t be a problem!”
Once it gave up its bottom line, it lost everything. It stepped back a little bit. It had to step back to the end!
It knew Ye Xiao was greedy, it had to say yes, even though it was going to lose almost everything!
Ye Xiao smiled. “Brother, you have no idea. People outside, they call me One Meter Higher Sky. I ripped everything off and put all valuable things into my pocket. If you promised me all those things at the same time, I might say yes because it truly amazed me. However, now I can’t help thinking that maybe you have more valuable things. Perhaps, you can give me more treasures! I am a greedy person. I am not proud of it. Heh heh…”
The red shadow was shocked. “I see. You are greedy. Fine. Just say it. I will give you whatever you want.”
Ye Xiao laughed happily. “See. What do you have? I don’t know how many good stuffs you have. I am thinking… How do I get everything valuable of yours into my pocket? That’s such a difficult question. However, I thought of a brilliant idea… Why don’t you just follow me? No matter what I need, you will take it out and give it to me at any time! Don’t you agree? Aren’t I clever?”
The red shadow staggered. “Do you want me to serve you?”
“That’s right!” Ye Xiao nodded. “You are not human though. Well, you will be my pet!”
“No way!” The red shadow raged up. “You should wake up from your ridiculous dream! How could you make such a shameless request? You bastard!”
“Well, I know. I thought it was too much to ask. Forget it then.” Ye Xiao shrugged and said, “Come on. You begged me to say what I wanted. Why are you so angry? You can simply say no without humiliating me. This is cheap! Fine. I am just saying. Look at you. Just forget it then…”
The red shadow was so furious. It shouted and said, “You bastard! You greedy and ungrateful bastard! You actually want me to be your pet! You are crazy! You… You are shameless… You are contemptible…”
Ye Xiao was gone. He didn’t care at all.
The red shadow shouted for a long time. Some cyan smoke started to rise from its head. It almost got a heart attack.
Well, it didn’t have a heart though.
For the next few days, the red shadow didn’t show up anymore.
Ye Xiao was confident. He was patient. Cultivating, eating, drinking, sleeping, having a good time with Jun Yinglian… He just went on his wonderful life.
“Uncle!” The eighth day, the red shadow came again. “Can we talk? I will give you everything I have. Is that okay?”
It truly was anxious. It actually decided to give up everything.
“Am I a fool to you? How do I know whether you have hidden anything?” Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes.
“F*ck you! I am not going to be your pet!”
“Why are you doing this? Didn’t I tell you it was wrong to humiliate others? I will not see you again if you keep doing this to me!” Ye Xiao said, “Oh, by the way, I have reached the Undead Stage. I think I can live for over one hundred thousand more years. Let’s meet again in ten thousand years. What do you think? Or we can make it one hundred thousand years? I think it won’t be difficult to reach the Infinity Stage as long as I stay here. Ah, I will be able to live as long as the world…”
The red shadow was so angry, but it didn’t dare scold Ye Xiao anymore!
Ye Xiao was roguish, but he was telling the truth!
At this moment…
Some lights shined in the sky. There was a huge plant rising up to the sky reaching the clouds.
The next moment, a little bird flew out and stared at the red shadow.
