Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1642

After the conversation, the Seven Golden Lotuses left the Monarch’s Hall and returned to their place for further isolated meditation.

The seven of them were all silent.

When they were about to part ways, Yue Youyou asked the others, “What do you think of Ye Xiao compared to Ye Yunduan?”

Guan Shanyao humphed and said, “Compare how? There is no comparison between these two!”

After that, he disappeared. The other five men were quiet. None of them said a word, and then they all flew away fast.

Yue Youyou laughed and turned into a piece of cloud flying away.

…

In the Hall of Life and Death.

“Masters, what is your plan next?” Ye Xiao blandly asked, looking at the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King.

It seemed like they were trying to stay, so Ye Xiao wanted to ask them to leave.

There were secrets in the Hall of Life and Death. Chihuo was now one of them now, so he could surely stay. These two masters would only bring possible dangers to the Hall of Life and Death!

“We are going to stay for the kids.” The Golden Phoenix King said, assured and bold.

“Me too.” The Purple Dragon King smiled.

“I don’t think this is a good idea. It is still a long time before the two eggs hatched.” Ye Xiao said, “I am surprised that the two kings actually are so free.”

Ye Xiao was being frank. He first pointed out the truth and then warned the two kings of their special positions. Was it a good idea to leave the two clans to stay in this place? Besides, the two of them were important people in the Glaze Sky. They wouldn’t want anything to go wrong!

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King were surprised.

The two of them were powerful, but this place was not the Glaze Sky.

The City of Chaos was an important city in the Limitless Ocean, where there was no law… The two of them were definitely safe to stay in this lawless place for a short time, but as they stayed long, people made evil plans against them. Besides, they didn’t cover their traces when they came.

If somebody was plotting against them, they might be in danger.

After all, outside the Glaze Sky, there were so many people who were not weaker than these two. People were not all friendly to them.

The five sky kings were competitors… That was known to the world…

If the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King died in the Limitless Ocean, nobody would stand out as witnesses…

If they died, nobody cared how powerful they used to be. A dead man was always just a dead man!

The two of them looked embarrassed. They were waiting for Ye Xiao to speak.

“Masters, I am flattered that I actually have you as my honorable guests.” Ye Xiao blandly said, “But the Hall of Life and Death is just a small organization in the City of Chaos. We are weak. If somebody comes with some unspeakable purpose, the Hall of Life and Death may fail to deal with the problem… If the eggs are in danger, we won’t be able to…”

Ye Xiao stopped.

That was clear enough. ‘You can do whatever you want. I am not going to stop you. If you get your children killed because of it, don’t blame me.’

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King humphed. They were annoyed.

They knew the Hall of Life and Death was incredibly secured. Nobody could break the shield of this place. Security was never a problem in this place!

However, they couldn’t say that. If they said so, it would sound like they were seeking protection from the Hall of Life and Death! That would be a disgrace!

“There is a second option. The two eggs are safe now. They will hatch in the traditional way of your clans.” Ye Xiao said, “If you take them back, I won’t stop you.”

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King were embarrassed.

‘There is the ultimate spiritual qi here… There is the Nine Stars Nurture… What do we have back to our clans?’

‘Are we going to give up this great opportunity?’

“Monarch Ye, how long do you think the eggs need before hatching?” The Golden Phoenix King asked. “I mean with the ultimate spiritual qi and the Nine Stars Nurture.”

Ye Xiao closed his eyes and thought for a while. He said, “It won’t take long. About half a year.”

“Half a year…” The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King murmured at the same time.

It wasn’t long, but it wasn’t short.

If the eggs stayed in the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, in the traditional way, it would take at least three years to hatch. In the Hall of Life and Death, it only needed half a year!

That was a clear choice!

However, the two kings couldn’t stay in this place for half a year.

They couldn’t even stay here for half a month.

Ye Xiao was right. It would put themselves, and more importantly their children in danger…

They were so fragile.

If there was a fight, the eggs could easily be destroyed.

The eggs were in the Nine Stars Nurture, and it couldn’t be stopped.

Once it was stopped, all the work that had been done was going to be wasted!

“Oh, right. There is a third option. In ten days, your children will get the Heavenly Life Fire…” Ye Xiao said with a smile, “You can stay for ten days and then take them away with you. I believe the Hall of Life and Death can at least keep you safe in ten days.”

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King were troubled. They looked at Ye Xiao, and they were annoyed.

If the children could get the Heavenly Life Fire after staying for ten days, how incredible they could become if they stayed for half a year?

That was a huge difference!

Ye Xiao actually said, “I believe the Hall of Life and Death can at least keep you safe in ten days.” They seemed unhappy about it. ‘What? Do you think we need your protection? The Hall of Life and Death does have the capability of protecting us, but we don’t need it! We have dignity!’

“Well, we are not going to disturb you anymore.” The Golden Phoenix King said with her red eyes, “We will stay for three more days… After that, please… Make sure our kids are safe.”

Ye Xiao was troubled too. His lips were shaking…

In fact, he wasn’t pretending. He truly didn’t want to do it.

If the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King took the eggs away, Ye Xiao would feel happy. He might even give them presents to take away… However, they were going to let the eggs stay…

They actually entrusted Ye Xiao with the two eggs!

That was serious. Taking good care of the children wouldn’t bring Ye Xiao anything great, but if he made a mistake… He would have to take responsibility!

What was he going to do?
