Condemning the Heavens

During this month, Xue Wei had only been back to talk with his friends a few times, other than that; he had been busy mutating beasts .

One of them had died, but the other nine had survived . The one who had died was a young female . Her death was not due to lack of willpower, but because of Xue Wei being stronger than her, and the blood being too overbearing, simply killing her within a moment .

After this, the Retired Emperor made a selection of who to use the blood on . He no longer picked weaker experts; only those who were at the Earth and Sky Saint Realm were able to withstand the powerful mutation process .

As to how Hei Gou had done so, it was truly a wonder, and Xue Wei finally understood that the pain his good friend had been under was much worse than any of these beasts’ .

Xue Wei was apathetic throughout the entire process . He observed the beasts writhe in pain without any expression on his face .

The three older men were slightly stunned by how cold and emotionless Xue Wei was, but upon closer thought, they understood it .

They knew the situation of the Chang’an Continent, but they were unable to participate in the battle . All sides likely chased Xue Wei after his identity was announced .

Being chased by all sides, it was natural that he was not in a position to pity others . If he spent time pitying others, he was likely to end up harming himself .

As the last beast had mutated, Xue Wei’s face was slightly pale . As he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy before he took a deep breath .

He needed to rest for some time so that he could gain some new blood . Although there were a few days between each time he shed blood, it was a lot of blood and all within a month .

His lips were pale white, and the three older men began blaming themselves for having not been attentive enough, but Xue Wei shook his head and waved his hand . "It’s nothing," he said . "I am going to go back and rest for a few days, and I will be fine again . "

The older men knew that he was saying this just to let them relax a little, and the words he said made them feel even more guilty .

Xue Wei knew that they were guilty, but he did not mind too much . He had indeed pushed himself a little bit more than he should, but he had lost much more blood during battles before, so although it seemed problematic, it was not that bad .

Returning to his room in the courtyard, Xue Wei did not begin cultivating . Instead, he laid down on the bed and fell asleep .

Although he had not done anything special, he was exhausted, the blood loss was making his body heavy, and his eyes were closing on their own .

The bed was soft and comfortable; he felt as if he was floating in cloud nine .

The light shone in through the windows, a gentle beam of light made the dust dance in the air as Xue Wei was lying on the bed .

It was a picturesque image that seemed as if he was a male version of the sleeping beauty .

His eyes fluttered, and his fingers twitched . He felt as if he was being dragged from the darkness into the light, and he was feeling much more comfortable .

Although his body was heavy, it was not as heavy as it had been before, and it felt rested . He opened his eyes and found the beam of light shining in on him .

Xue Wei cleared his throat, only to find it being dry and annoying . It was clear that he had been sleeping for a long time .

He slowly rose from the bed; his legs were slightly shaky and heavy . It felt as if he had been sleeping for much longer than ever before .

When he stood up, he was suddenly lightheaded, but after taking a few deep breaths, he felt much better .

His face had regained its color, and he took out a spiritual fruit from his storage treasure and began eating it . The fruit was full of fruit juice, and he felt the dry throat being soothed .

The energy within the spiritual fruit also came to renew his energy, and he felt much better than he had felt before .

He could feel his weakened body regain its strength, and he was starting to feel much better than before .

Xue Wei slowly tightened and loosened his hand, trying to feel how the strength was returning to him .

After ensuring that he was fully fit for fight again, Xue Wei left the room and found that all his friends were gathered in the living room of the courtyard, their faces ugly .

"What’s happening?" Xue Wei asked as he saw their expressions, his brows furrowing .

"You woke up!" Luoluo and the others exclaimed with happiness as they looked at Xue Wei, but soon after, a bit of worry flashed past their eyes .

"What’s wrong?" he asked again, but they just shook their heads, not sure about what to say .

"The Empress has made an empress’ edict that Luoluo is to marry the First prince," Lin Xiao said . "We refuse to let them, but she warned us that they would come and take her away by force if we did not accept by tomorrow morning . "

"We wanted to wake you up," Hei Gou said, "but Tianyi said that you were too exhausted due to the blood loss, and we wouldn’t succeed in waking you up even if we tried . "
