If the fruit melted when it touched Wenren Chuchu's tongue and automatically assimilated into her body like what happened to Ye Xiao, she could be saved. Instead, if the fruit failed, there would be nothing Ye Xiao could do to bring her back anymore. The fruit wasn't omnipotent after all. If it didn't melt inside her mouth and assimilate into her body, it wouldn't make any difference. It failed on Bing Xinyue earlier!
Ye Xiao was afraid. He was scared. He couldn't bear another failure!
Maybe the heaven's will didn't want to disappoint Ye Xiao twice in a day. Perhaps the god of life blessed Wenren Chuchu. After a while, a distinctive fragrance came out from Wenren Chuchu's body!
That meant the fruit worked! Ye Xiao could feel her heartbeat return when he smelled the fragrance.
Her body wasn't cold anymore. It became warmer and warmer.
Ye Xiao didn't dare to be careless. He tried to pour spiritual energy into Wenren Chuchu's body again. He still couldn't get it through in the beginning because her Jing and Mai were still blocked. Luckily, after a while, things became better. He could at least dredge her Jing and Mai bit by bit although it was still tough and slow. After about the time of a half pot of tea, Ye Xiao's hand, which he put under her nose, finally felt her breath!
She could breathe now!
He never wanted to actually have Wenren Chuchu. However, as a man, he couldn't stop appreciating the beauty of a gorgeous lady.
Wenren Chuchu was both brave and resourceful, a beauty and a talent. She was such a unique woman in the world. When Ye Xiao realized she was back to life, he felt relieved.
Her breath was getting smooth and stable. Although she was still in a coma, she was safe now. When the fruit took further effects on her, she would be utterly improved and become one of the most influential figures in the world.
Ye Xiao eventually felt relieved. He put his overcoat on the floor and let Wenren Chuchu lie on it. Then he slowly turned around. The four defeated men were still alive, struggling to crawl on the floor. He looked at them with his sharp eyes, and his eyes turned cold.
He suddenly opened his hand, and the hand created an incredibly strong suction. The five dying superior cultivators were actually pulled over to him by the power in his hand!
They were in front of him.
He waved a hand, and the five men's wounds stopped bleeding. That was some magical trick. It blocked the five men's strength at the same time. He pushed the air with one hand, and a chilling spiritual qi blew out. It instantly sobered the five men up.
Tan Qingfeng was most severely injured. He was shaking. His legs and hands were chopped off, and he was nailed on a stump before this. When Ye Xiao pulled him off the stump, it seemed he finally got rid of the sword in his shoulder, but the sword actually pierced through his shoulder thoroughly when he left the stump. Even though he stopped bleeding now, the unbearable pain continued. His face was all pale. He opened his eyes, staring at Ye Xiao with fear and anxiety.
"Tell me, what are you planning to do with Ye Clan?" Ye Xiao indifferently said, "I am out of patience, by the way. I hope you can make it short and clear. Let's not waste our time."
The five men all kept their mouths shut. None of them said anything.
They were all covered with cuts and bruises at their last gasps. However, other than fear, they had lots of hate in their eyes. When they looked at Ye Xiao, they felt like swallowing him alive. Even though they were wounded and would die at any second, they were five proud superior cultivators after all. They had their own pride. None of them would submit to the inquisition by torture.
"You are unbelievably powerful. You are much stronger than any of us. Just give us a quick death, will you?" A level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator coughed and fiercely said, "Nod and die. That is all. Close the eyes, and life passes. It is not a big deal. However, if you want us to tell you the secrets of our sect, you won't get it. That is simply a daydream of yours."
Ye Xiao was smiling at first, but then a malicious expression appeared on his face, "Daydream?"
"An honorable man accepts death, not insults!" The old man felt so much pain that his teeth were shaking. "You may be incredibly powerful, but you won't get a damn clue from us, men who accept death!"
"Men who accept death? You may accept death, but the pain, the soreness are different! Some pains in the world are beyond human being's endurance." Ye Xiao blandly said, "It is always an important subject to force a man to say something he would never want to say. It is an art to force people like you, who claim to accept death, to talk… I believe you are not strange to this art. Each of you should be an expert in it… Aren't you?"
He grinned and continued, "I happen to be an expert too. How lucky! We can exchange our different views."
"No f*cking way!" the five men shouted.
"Great! You don't want to talk, do you?" Ye Xiao slowly nodded and said, "Brilliant! I don't want you to give in so soon after all. If you tell me everything now, I wouldn't have an excuse to play my art on you… You are making the decision I want you to make. You won't talk, will you? Terrific!"
When he said 'terrific', the five men suddenly felt extremely cold on their backs.
They knew he was going to torture them.
However, they were so confident about themselves. They had been through a lot in their lives. They were sure that they could handle any kind of suffering. Besides, they were going to die anyway. Why would they tell him what he needed since he wouldn't let them live either way?
Although they couldn't decide their own life and death, they could get through the suffering. They wouldn't mind if they died while he tortured them. They had no hope for living anymore. Moreover, they knew how strong Ye Xiao was. They knew that nobody could take revenge for them afterward. What they could do as an act of revenge was to upset Ye Xiao as much as they could by keeping their mouth shut.
