1623 Eggs of the Dragon and the Phoenix (2/2)
”That's correct… I thought they weren't important, so I ate them both…” The old man looked sad. ”That was followed by the tragedy… One of the eggs belonged to the Golden Phoenix King, and the other belonged to the Purple Dragon King… They put the two eggs together because they wanted to make the two babies a pair in the future… Well… I didn't know, did I?”
Ye Xiao felt dizzy, and he finally fell to the floor and couldn't get up!
'Holy hell… It would be much better if you just ate some liver and guts… You ate a dragon and a phoenix! You killed the prince and princess of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan! Give me one reason why they shouldn't hunt you down! They have all the right to kill you!'
The old man complained and said, ”Do you understand, kid? Come on. Tell me you understand. They shouldn't put the two eggs at the same place! It was as if they were tempting me! People would definitely think they were some inconsequential eggs! Besides, I was starving… How was I supposed to control myself…”
Ye Xiao held his own forehead and said, ”Stop! Stop now! Don't you explain anymore! You can't cover this up! You did it! You know it! You can't explain yourself out of this!”
He was so sad about what happened. ”I finally know what you have done… Please, don't call me a kid anymore. I am scared. You ate a dragon baby and a phoenix baby! That scares the sh*t out of me!”
”How can you say that, kid! That is not what you said! I didn't mean to kill anybody. Besides, those were eggs. I ate two eggs, not babies… There is a huge difference…” The old man still tried to explain. In fact, he knew he was fooling himself!
”No wonder they are after you…” Ye Xiao's head was throbbing with pain. ”I know what huge trouble I have brought myself into… Oh, heavens… Oh, earth… I shouldn't have saved you… I am helping the bad guy…”
The old man seemed to be embarrassed too. He said, ”Kid, don't blame yourself. I did eat the eggs… Well, they have hunted me down… Thousands of them… I almost died… If you didn't save me, I should have died!”
”Pah! They should do much more than just hunt you down! They should have killed you out there! You shouldn't be alive! The world wants you dead!”
Ye Xiao was furious. ”Even killing you with thousands of cuts and torturing you for ten thousand years is not enough to punish you for your sin! You have brought me, the Hall of Life and Death, and the Monarch's Hall down to the trouble you made! I was wrong… I must be blind… Why would I decide to help you? I was blind… I thought too unbelievably high of you!”
The old man looked at Ye Xiao and gently said, ”I am flattered… Well, you aren't blind… I know you blame me! We are all cultivators in the martial world… We should always help the person in need in the martial world. You are a good kid. You would surely save me! Come on… There is an old saying, which is good… A smile erases all hatred…”
Ye Xiao gave up.
'Holy hell… If anybody dares to say that I am invincible as a talker, I would kill him immediately. This old man showed me what an invincible talker is like… He is more shameless than anybody else I know! His skin is thicker than the wall of the city!
'You actually ate the son and the daughter of others, and now you are telling me a smile erases all hatred…
'What the hell is wrong with you?'
Ye Xiao had a conclusion. If the old man's cultivation power was as strong as his shamelessness, he should be the strongest person in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
”Fine… Let's move on… Just tell me… Who are you? I may go to hell because of you, but at least I deserve to know your name, don't I?” Ye Xiao weakly said.
