  Seated within the hall, when Jun Wu Xie saw Jun Qing come in, she immediately stood up.

  Jun Qing took a step forward and gave his little niece a big hug.

  “It’s good that you’re back. When you were not around, your grandfather missed you so dearly.” Jun Qing said with a smile. He and Jun Xian were both iron hard men who had traversed over countless battlefields and the three generations of the Jun Family only had just this one female, and she was also the youngest member of the family. Although the two men were aware that Jun Wu Xie had her own things to take care of, but having parted for so long, they had missed her quite a bit.

  Although the two battle hardened men did not say it, they understood each other’s heart rather well.

  Seated in the main seat within the hall, Jun Xian cleared his throat and glared at his too talkative youngest son and said: “You make it sound like you didn’t miss her at all. If I may ask, who is the one who had always gone running to Little Xie’s courtyard everyday whenever he could to clean up the place? And even fighting with the servants to do it?”

  Betrayed by Jun Xian like this, Jun Qing smiled sheepishly in embarrassment.

  When Jun Wu Xie had returned the last time, the Qi Kingdom had been hit with disaster and even if they yearned to spend time with Jun Wu Xie, they did not have the luxury of time then. After things had more or less stabilized, the longing in their hearts had then become insuppressible.

  Jun Wu Xie watched the Jun father and son embarrassing each other while they both tried to get the last word in, and the corners of her mouth the arced upwards slightly. No matter how stormy it was out there, when she came back home, she would always be met with this warm feelings of kinship.

  Qiao Chu and the others stood watching at the side, the eyes and hearts filled with endless envy. Their families had been eradicated, and it was thought that they would not have the chance to feel such kinship ever again.

  “Already such a grown man and you’re still spouting such nonsense. Sit down quickly and we can continue with the chat.” Jun Xian said with a soft voice.

  Chapter 1266: “Family (2)”

  Jun Qing sat down at the side with a laugh. It was only after he sat down that he noticed a tiny little figure, who was quietly seated beside Jun Wu Xie.

  That little one was very young, looking to be about eight or nine years of age, had a clean and clear tiny face that was highly adorable, except for that head of fiery red hair and his pair of scarlet coloured eyes that made him look rather strange and different.

  “This little one is…..” Jun Qing raised his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie then replied: “This is Little Jue, the Emperor of the Buckwheat Kingdom.”

  Jun Qing’s face then revealed a trace of surprise. He had heard of the Buckwheat Kingdom, and he knew that the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Emperor was a very young child, but he had never thought that he would look like this. Moreover….. what was Jun Wu Xie doing by bringing some other country’s Emperor around with her for?

  And even after they had spoken so much, the Buckwheat Kingdom’s little Emperor had been completely silent and had not said a single word, but had just sat there without moving at all. If not for the breaths he was still taking, he might have been more like a sculpture instead.

  “Sigh, another poor and pitiful little child.” Jun Xian said with a sigh. Before Jun Qing had arrived here, Jun Wu Xie had already told him about everything that had happened to the little Emperor.

  Although they did not belong to the same country, but when even such a small child like this was harmed so maliciously, it really chilled one’s heart.

  Jun Qing was still a little confused and Fei Yan spoke up at that moment, summarizing everything that happened in the Condor Country into a simple report and told it to Jun Qing.

  After Jun Qing finished listening to it, he was not able to calm himself for a long while.

  “How dare the Condor Country’s Emperor do something so maniacally audacious! ? He completely deserved to die!” When war erupted between countries, no matter how bitter and horrifying it became, it could still be explained that it was for the benefit of an entire country. But using one’s superior might to oppress and threaten the weak, where they even harmed a child as young as this, besides calling him absolutely inhuman, Jun Qing could not think of a more suitable term to describe all of this.

  “The Scarlet Blood within Little Jue’s body had been largely purged but I am helpless with regards to his spirit that had been sacrificed in the process. I brought him back here because I was thinking to have Uncle hand the other half of the Soul Jade to Little Jue temporarily, to see if it can help him in anyway.” Jun Wu Xie went on to say.

  Without another word, Jun Qing immediately pulled out the half piece of Soul Calming Jade.

  “It was your decision to have his thing kept safely and if you feel that it can help in anyway, let it help the pitiful Little Jue.” Jun Qing said with a sigh.

  With what happened the last time, Jun Wu Xie did not dare to carelessly touch the Soul Calming Jade now, and she asked Jun Qing to place the Soul Jade upon the little Emperor’s tiny body.

  The Soul Calming Jade had just been placed upon him when the little Emperor who had been staring blankly suddenly closed his eyes. His breathing began to grow more stable like he was now asleep. Jun Wu Xie did not immediately react to it but just ordered for people to bring the little Emperor inside to rest.

  Seeing the little Emperor being carried away without being aware of anything, Jun Wu Xie could not help but sigh out. He was still so young. It was most unbearable to have to see such a young child having to suffer so much.

  After the little Emperor was carried away, Jun Wu Xie suddenly pulled out an Imperial Edict and placed it before Jun Xian.

  “This is?” Jun Xian reached out a hand to pick it up, and he pulled the Imperial Edict open to peruse it. His face immediately contorted into a peculiar expression!

  Upon that Imperial Edict, it was clearly stated that the Condor Country was willing to gift half of the Condor Country’s empire to the Qi Kingdom, as compensation for the previous war it waged upon them.

  For the defeated to compensate the victors, that might have been an indisputable fact, but never had it been heard that the roles could be reversed, and were compensating such an absolutely astounding figure.

  With the vast and expansive lands the Condor Country possessed, the amount of land indicated as compensation was already several times the size of the Qi Kingdom itself!

  “What is this Imperial Edict all about?” Jun Xian asked, completely confused.

  Jun Wu Xie said in a light tone: “All of the lands that belonged to the Condor Country has been completely given away to the Qi Kingdom and the Buckwheat Kingdom in compensation, and under the Heavens today, the Condor Country no longer exists.”

  Volume 13

  Chapter 1267: “You’re Back (1)”

  Jun Xian and Jun Qing exchanged a look and they saw within each other’s eyes the immense shock. Such a mighty Condor Country, was really obliterated in such a short period of time? That was just too unbelievable.

  Moreover, Jun Wu Xie had not expended even a single foot soldier, and she had accomplished it so cleanly and completely, which just made it even more astounding.

  [The second biggest Condor Country, had…..]

  [Vanished just like that?]

  “I just leave the Imperial Edict with Grandfather to hand it over to Mo Qian Yuan then. As for how we are going to take over the Condor Country’s assets, the two of you can just discuss it between yourselves.” Jun Wu Xie was not knowledgeable in things like this and she would rather not ask about it.

  It took Jun Xian and Jun Qing a great deal of effort before they were able to digest the news they had just been told. In contrast to Jun Wu Xie indifferent nonchalance, the two men really could not really maintain the composure properly.

  They could not even begin to imagine, jus
t how Jun Wu Xie had managed to achieve all that.

  The two had thought that they had already gotten used to Jun Wu Xie’s demonic capabilities, but at that moment, they could not help but feel the little lass was just becoming more and more Heaven defying.

  “Alright. I will bring this Imperial Edict to His Majesty in a moment.” Jun Xian said with a nod of his head. Taking over the Condor Country’s lands was not as simple as it looked on the surface. Demarcating the kingdom’s boundaries to incorporate the lands into the Qi Kingdom would not pose much of a problem, but what would be difficult would be to convince the citizens who had once belonged to the Condor Country to accept all of it. It was expected that a lot of effort would be required to be spent on integration.

  Jun Xian left for the Imperial Palace very soon after that, and after Jun Qing made arrangements for Qiao Chu and the other companions to have a place to rest, Jun Wu Xie made her way towards the little Emperor’s room.

  The little Emperor was lying upon the bed, looking like he was asleep, quiet and silent without a sound. But not long after that, Jun Wu Xie noticed something strange.

  She saw a faint white light spreading out from the little Emperor’s chest, gradually enveloping his entire body completely!

  Jun Wu Xie immediately went up to him and pulled the little Emperor’s shirt front open to check. She saw that the Soul Calming Jade that Jun Qing had placed upon the little Emperor body was undergoing a mystifying change!

  That piece of jade was giving out a warm glow, which shone through the little Emperor’s under clothes, and the entire piece of jade, was actually firmly stuck against the little Emperor’s chest, and gradually sinking right into the little Emperor’s flesh!

  Jun Wu Xie was highly startled and she was just about to reach her hand out to touch it.

  But in the very next moment, a warm hand was holding the hand she had reached out, pulling her tiny hand back.

  “Don’t touch. Be good. He will be fine.” The all too familiar voice resounded within her ears, and Jun Wu Xie’s body stiffened, as she felt her back press against a warm and wide broad chest!

  “Without me around, you seem to always like to pick up these strange little things back.” His voice was filled with mirth as it sounded within Jun Wu Xie ears once more.

  Jun Wu Xie did not say a word. Without knowing why, she suddenly felt a bizarre feeling rise and spread throughout her body.

  Her tiny hand was clasped within the large warm hand and being gently kneaded, as the highly magnetic voice continued to sound within her ears.

  “People afflicted with Scarlet Blood and does not die, is hard to find throughout the world. Unless that ring spirit voluntarily sacrifices its soul, to shield the body from being eroded by the Scarlet Blood, I’m afraid he would have been dead by now. But although the ring spirit and you managed to salvage his shell of a body, you were not able to protect his spirit. His spirit wasn’t taken out from him, but had been destroyed. His situation is a little different from your father’s. Only by letting the Soul Calming Jade meld into his body, as a replacement of his spiritual core, to gradually gather itself together, would he stand a chance of recovering to be like a normal person. The Soul Calming Jade will not hurt him, you don’t have to worry about that.” The voice slowly reached Jun Wu Xie’s ears, in between the words, the warm breath of the person behind her brushing over Jun Wu Xie’s neck.

  Authour’s Note: The story in the Lower Realm is left with the Dark Emperor’s tomb, and we will be concluding phase very soon. A little bit of a mental block and I hope everyone will understand. I will do my best to write more.

  Volume 13

  Chapter 1268: “You’re Back (2)”

  Jun Wu Xie lifted her head and looked at that attractive looking chin, as a glint flashed within her eyes.

  Jun Wu Yao noticed her movements and with a smile upon his lips, he lowered his head to look down at Jun Wu Xie looking at him with her eyes opened wide. Thinking that she looked exceptionally adorable at that moment, he could not help himself but to plant a light kiss upon the tip of that small nose.

  Jun Wu Xie’s face turned a light pink and she lowered her head quickly.

  Jun Wu Yao behind her then let out a light laugh in tease.

  “The Soul Calming Jade can really heal him?” Jun Wu Xie asked as she felt a unexplainable heat coming onto her face. That highly unfamiliar emotion made her feel slightly uncomfortable and she had to change the subject and turn the focus back into the figure of the little Emperor.

  Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie as she tried to divert the topic and he thought it rather amusing. But he was not anxious to push it and just patiently embraced Jun Wu Xie within his arms and said: “It can, but it will just require a long period of time that’s all. The Scarlet Blood is actually a modified form of something called Scarlet Darkness in the Middle Realm but there was a very big problem with it. Both the Scarlet Blood and Scarlet Darkness are based on a highly similar concept but as Scarlet Blood lacks just one highly critical element in it, what it produces would ultimately turn out to become an inferior product.”

  Jun Wu Yao’s gaze then fell upon the little Emperor lying upon the bed.

  “Scarlet Darkness? What is that?” Jun Wu Xie asked inquisitively.

  Jun Wu Yao replied with a laugh: “That is something from the Dark Region. Long ago, the Dark Emperor used Scarlet Darkness to create a group of powerful followers and it was not known from where the other powers in the Middle Realm somehow found out some information on it and wanted to emulate the whole thing, but ended up drawing a dog when they failed to paint the tiger they envisioned (Translator Note: Chinese idiom loosely translated – Failing to replicate something and ending up with inferior product). Scarlet Blood is afterall incomplete and although it was able to create powerful fighters, they were unable to live for long after that. Power gained at the price of one’s spirit and life force, really wouldn’t be of much use.”

  [With a lifespan of just three days, no matter how powerful they were, what could they achieve?]

  [In three days, wouldn’t they just end up turning into a pile of bones under the soil?]

  “The Soul Calming Jade is by itself a precious treasure for spirit bodies and although there is only one half of it, it can still be put to effective use.”

  Jun Wu Xie listened quietly and her heart was finally feeling a little more relieved.

  She might have been really tired out, or it might be because Jun Wu Yao’s appearance had made Jun Wu Xie feel secure. Held within Jun Wu Yao’s arms, Jun Wu Xie actually fell into deep slumber.

  Jun Wu Yao lifted the sleeping Jun Wu Xie horizontally in his arms, and sent her into her room to rest. He then retraced his steps after that, to appear once more within the little Emperor’s room.

  “Lord Jue.” Ye Mei had been keeping watch by the little Emperor’s bedside but within the pair of eyes that looked upon the little Emperor, there wasn’t the slightest tinge of sympathy.

  “Should your subordinate kill him?” Ye Mei’s voice was filled with thick and intense murder.

  All those afflicted with Scarlet Blood, were a form of insult to Jun Wu Yao and they must not be allowed to remain in existence.

  Jun Wu Yao walked over to the little Emperor’s bedside and looked at the piece of Soul Calming Jade upon the front of the little Emperor’s chest gradually turning into liquid form as it melded right into the little Emperor’s body and said: “Those people in the Middle Realm have really tried very hard to replicate the Night Regime’s splendour but have still failed. Ye Mei, do you know in what way is this little kid upon the bed different from all of you?”

  Ye Mei shook his head.

  “I do not know.”

  Jun Wu Yao’s eyes narrowed and the ends of his mouth hooked up into a devilish smile.

  “Scarlet Blood has already successfully replicated everything that Scarlet Darkness is, but there is just one thing they would never be able to reproduce and it i
s absolutely irreplaceable. Do you know what that is?”

  “Your subordinate does not know.” Ye Mei stated.

  Jun Wu Yao slowly raised up a hand, and with the fingernail of his middle finger, he scratched open the flesh of his thumb.

  Volume 13

  Chapter 1269: “You’re Back (3)”

  A clear red drop of blood formed upon Jun Wu Yao’s thumb.

  “Lord Jue!” Ye Mei suddenly called out in shock.

  Jun Wu Yao then let the drop of blood fall onto the little Emperor’s lips, the bright red drop of blood slowly flowing over the little Emperor’s lips to fall into his mouth.

  “What it lacked, is merely only my blood.” Jun Wu Yao said with a light laugh, his eyes filled with mocking ridicule.

  Under the Heavens, no one else besides him would be able to create true Scarlet Darkness.

  “Lord Jue, how could you…..” Ye Mei exclaimed as he stared incredulously at Jun Wu Yao. [His Lord Jue had actually taken his own blood and given it to a little brat from the Lower Realm….. How could that be! ?]

  “As long as it makes Little Xie happy.” Jun Wu Yao said and turned to leave nonchalantly. He did not care about whether the little Emperor lived or died, and neither did he care about the little Emperor’s wellbeing. He only knew that Jun Wu Xie cared, and he had acted because of that. If not, the life and death of the Lower Realm would not matter to him in the least.

  Ye Mei drew in a deep breath and looked at the little Emperor lying upon the bed, but this time, the murder he had felt had greatly diminished.

  The blood of the Dark Emperor, was something that countless people could only dream to have. A countless number of people in the Middle Realm had expended immense amounts of effort, just seeking to gain a drop of the Dark Emperor’s blood, but not a single person had succeeded. But this little one from the Lower Realm had actually been so fortunate today…..
