"How could I be joking?"
"At a critical moment like this, why would I joke with you?"
Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes. "You said it yourself—the man in the red skirt outside can't get in right now, nor can he interfere with us. I've given you plenty of time already. You still can't break open this space?"
He pointed at the two great treasures in the void and continued, "Didn't you want these things? If your strength isn't enough, then swallow them! After swallowing them, just blow this place apart!"
"Blow it apart..."
The Gray Mist Man gave a bitter laugh. "You make it sound so easy. I'm neither ice-attributed nor fire-attributed. Even if I can temporarily take these two supreme treasures using the power of sealing, trying to wield their power..."
"Difficult!"
"Difficult is exactly right."
Xu Xiaoshou slapped his thigh. "You're not fire-attributed, but I am!"
Realizing he had gotten too worked up, he paused, calmed himself, and continued confirming, "So, in the short term, you can't take these treasures, right... Are you sure?"
"Mm."
"Mm?"
The Gray Mist Man froze. "What do you mean, brat?"
"I can!"
Xu Xiaoshou grinned. "You have no way to take them, but that's fine. Wait for me. I might not need that long to collect these two treasures. Then I'll blow apart this space and get you out."
The Gray Mist Man's face immediately darkened.

With A-Jie here, the Gray Mist Man already knew that, at its speed, it might not be able to secure both treasures today.
Yet Xu Xiaoshou was telling it...
