Realms In The Firmament

Their two small heads were sticking on Ye Xiao’s chest. They stood on tiptoe as if they were going to push themselves totally into Ye Xiao’s arms. Their tears and snot were all smeared on Ye Xiao’s clothes…

That was exactly like the old days.

When the three of them lived together, Ye Xiao was a little beggar, and the two ladies were disabled girls…

Every time when Ye Xiao was beaten because of theft, the two girls would shed tears heartbreakingly as if their entire bodies were going to break into pieces.

After a while, the ladies stopped crying. Even though they were already two grown-up women, they still had limited tears no matter how powerful they were. However, the emotion in their hearts wasn’t vented yet. They were still sobbing, only without tears.

The place had been locked out by the ladies with their capability of level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators. Otherwise, they would have shocked the entire Town of Ye when they cried!

In fact, they didn’t care if others knew that they also had a weak side, but they just didn’t want others to make any inappropriate guess!

What was it that could make the two frosty ladies cry out like that?

That must be embarrassing!

”I mean, enough now. Could you stop crying now? How old are you? This is enough, isn’t it?” Ye Xiao was domineering, but he sounded soft and gentle.

”Not enough! No!” the two ladies shouted annoyedly to Ye Xiao at the same time.

After that, their tears were flowing down again.

[Holy hell? Level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators can store their tears to shed whenever they want? What a historic discovery!]

Back in the old days, no matter how the two little girls cried, the little beggar would never comfort them. He would only wait till they stopped crying, and then ask them, ”This is enough, isn’t it?”

The two little girls would shout back at him with anger and bashfulness. ”Not enough! No!”

Then they would stop crying.

However, after all these years, they finally met their brother again. As they heard him saying ’this is enough’, they were touched on the softest part in the heart!

They didn’t stop crying like the old days; instead, they cried even worse.

[How old are we? We are just the same little girls in front of you, brother! How old could we be?]

[We cry! We won’t stop crying!]

Ye Xiao was surprised, and he made a helpless long sigh.

”Come on. This is enough for real… I mean… You are both dominant cultivators now…” Ye Xiao said, ”How could you cry like two little cats… What if others saw you… Are you going to stay in the martial world or not?”

”So what? We won’t be afraid!” Yue Shuang angrily said.

”Humph! That’s right! Somebody saw us, so what?” Yue Han was angry too. ”We want to cry!”

Ye Xiao raised both his hands and submitted. ”I know. I understand. I see. I could never win a quarrel with you two. The best way to end it is to give in. How about that? Can you stop now? Silly girls!”

Finally, the two ladies smiled through tears.

Then they were silent again and just kept staying in Ye Xiao’s arms together. They looked happy and peaceful.

Nobody talked for a long time.

After a while, Ye Xiao finally couldn’t help saying with a complaint, ”Holy heavens. You won’t just fall asleep on me like you always did when you were babies, will you?”

”Of course we won’t.” The ladies denied at the same time. ”We are just thinking about something…”

”That’s right… You both have grown up… You are big girls now… You have your secrets.” Ye Xiao laughed. The two ladies felt his chest shaking when he was laughing. They felt warmed and surefooted.

They actually nearly cried again.

”Humph!” They both humphed to suppress the tears back.

”Well, you are truly two big girls now… What if somebody sees you two in my arms like this? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?” Ye Xiao was talking seriously to them.

”So what? We like staying in your arms!” Yue Shuang humphed and said, ”Who dares to interrupt?”

”We never want to get married after all. We don’t care about those mortal people’s views!” Yue Han wrinkle her nose.

”Ahem…” Ye Xiao rubbed his nose. He decided to skip the topic.

The two ladies didn’t say anything but just kept holding him and sniffed the smell on Ye Xiao’s body. They were actually making the sound of two relaxed cats.

After a while, they started to grumble.

”No wonder… we forced Master to go back to find you, threatened her that we would eat nothing before she promised. She didn’t find you.”

”You must have been taken away by your master then…”

”No wonder… We couldn’t find you all these years. You have your own destiny…”

”You were a man in chaos already. What a brother of ours! Of course, our brother is a great figure…”

”No wonder… Xiao Monarch, who would never pay attention to other’s business, suddenly helped us…”

”It was you…”

”No wonder…”

”I see…”

When one of them said ’no wonder’, the other would go on to explain it.

One started, and the other continued as if they were talking in a dream. They actually answered all the questions that had stayed in their minds for all those years.

The third person in the story, Ye Xiao, who was listening to their murmuring, just felt hilarious.

”Bad brother!” Yue Shuang suddenly complained, ”You were in such a great danger! Why didn’t you tell us?”

”Right! Why didn’t you? How dare you not?” Yue Han widely opened her eyes. She looked quite aggressive.

Ye Xiao made a grumbling sound and then stayed quiet. It was impossible to give a good explanation for it.

”Did you think we were afraid of the three factions?”

”Did you? We weren’t afraid!”

”You were disgracing us by ignoring us!”

”That’s true! You were ignoring us!”

”You still treated us as two useless little girls!”

”True! That was stupid and selfish!”

”Humph! You would rather die then let us know… You… such a wonderful brother! Did you think we wouldn’t want to be involved to your trouble? How selfish!”

”That’s right!”

”You would rather die than tell us anything about the truth... That was unforgivable!”

”Unacceptable!”

The two ladies were getting more and more pissed as they kept talking.

They actually raised up their anger. They raised their heads, staring at Ye Xiao fiercely, and said, ”Say it! Why? Give us an explanation!”

”We want an explanation!”

”That’s right! An explanation!”

”We won’t forgive you if you don’t give us a fair explanation!”

”That’s right! We won’t forgive you!”

”Say it!”

”Now!”

They pointed at Ye Xiao on the nose with their fingers.
