The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 1

Chapter 1: Soul of a Mage

You XiaoMo stood in front of a mirror, blinking at the stranger reflected in it. After exhausting a great deal of brain cells, he was finally willing to believe the fact that his soul was currently attached to a stranger’s body.

The youth in the mirror looked about seventeen to eighteen years old. Roughly his own age. He was wearing a long blue traditional Chinese robe with a common blue-green hairpin on the top of his jet-black hair. The combination gave him an otherworldly look. However, he seemed somewhat pale, especially his lips. They were completely lacking color, as if he had just received a heavy blow, the pretty pair of eyes was very red and swollen like walnuts. You XiaoMo felt haggard all of a sudden, not used to the sudden change in his appearance.

After being sentimental for a moment, You XiaoMo finally evaluated the room he was in. It was extremely sparse. A wooden bed, a wooden table, a wooden chair and a wooden counter on which the mirror was placed. Not a trace of anything unnecessary. Although simple, it was filled with a rustic feel, the simple style of ancient times.

Connecting this with the clothing on his body and his otherworldly look, You XiaoMo made the sad discovery that he had been transported to ancient times. But he was a modern man! He clearly remembered that the gas leak next door caused an explosion, implicating him, the innocent neighbor, exploding him into this stranger’s body. Although this sounded outrageous, it was indeed reality.

After an internal struggle, You XiaoMo decided to go with the flow.

After putting on his shoes, just when he was about to open the door and leave to figure o ut the situation, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, making him jump in shock. When they almost collided into each other, the other party quickly dodged him and gasped in surprise.

“You XiaoMo, you’re finally willing to get out of bed?”

You XiaoMo was certain that only he himself knew his name, so this person must be calling the original host of this body. Looked like heaven was still treating him alright, giving him the body of someone with the same name.

You XiaoMo examined the incomer. He was a handsome youth, about his own age, with a very sunny smile. But what did he mean by ‘you’re finally willing to get out of bed’, don’t tell me he had a bad habit of being lazy? Without waiting for him to ask, the young man started to speak.

“You XiaoMo, you should not lose heart. Even though your soul has a green aura, at least you can still become a mid-level mage. You must know that mid-level mages are still very rare. Some people remain low level mage s their whole life. Therefore, you should not be broken-hearted. Tomorrow morning, you have to go to the Mage’s Hall. You have to pick yourself up.”

You XiaoMo felt his head spinning and his brain swelling. What green aura? What mid-level mage? Why did he not understand?

But overall he began to understand a little, maybe because this body had a green aura soul, so it made the real owner of this body feel like he was wearing a green hat? So he hid in his room broken-hearted and secretly crying, finally dropping dead from excess grief? You XiaoMo covered his face, such a way to die, how shameful!

“Then what about you?” You XiaoMo asked cautiously.

At the moment, he only knew this young man. He could only try to extract information about this dimension from him. However, he was afraid that the young man would discover that he was not the real You XiaoMo, therefore he couldn’t ask him straight out. Due to this, he didn’t know that they had not known each other for long. Furthermore, after finding out that his talent was too inferior, he had locked himself inside, refusing to go out. That being sa id, it was understandable that he was unaware of a lot of things.

The young man immediately grinned widely, unable to contain his joy, and said bashfully while scratching his head, “My aura is blue.”

One look and it was clear that a blue aura was a good thing, but he still did not understand a thing, ah !

“About that, I don’t really understand. These few days my head has been muddled, I’ve been forgetting a lot of things. Can you tell me more?”

You XiaoMo asked sheepishly, afraid to look at directly at him, afraid that he would become suspicious. The young man seemed to be oblivious, completely unsuspecting, revealing all that he knew, including the place where they currently were. He said all there was to be said. After listening to it all, You XiaoMo was rendered speechless. He was so utterly shocked that he had no idea when the young man left the room.

This world was completely different from the one he knew. He had entered the biggest sect on the Long Xiang Continent, the Tian Xin Sect. To be precise, he was just a probationary disciple. Furthermore, the Tian Xin Sect was divided into two divisions.

The Warrior Division was made up of practitioners. Their souls did not have colored auras, but they could practice various energy control and martial arts techniques. The other was the Mage Division. All mages had colored auras. The colors were separated into various levels from level one to level nine, then from light to dark: pink, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple.

Those who had pink and yellow auras could only become low level mages. Light green and green auras could become mid-level mages. Blue and purple auras could become high level mages. However, the potential for the latter was much greater than the former. For example, with a purple aura one’s potential was much higher than someone with a blue aura. Therefore, there was hope of becoming a top level mage.

A blue aura meant a future high level mage. No wonder the young man had such an elated expression. As for the host of this body, he was a probationary disciple of the Mage Division. He was brought back here three days ago by the elders of the Tian Xin Sect, along with some others . The original host was a little arrogant, but during the evaluation, he found out that his aptitude was unexpectedly the worst among everyone. Unable to accept it, he hid himself in his room, crying.

This kid, such appalling mental fortitude!

On top of that, he learned a very important piece of information. Since he was a probationary disciple, he had to pass the assessment half a year later or else he would be driven out of the Tian Xin Sect.

The Tian Xin Sect was the largest sect on Long Xiang Continent, with very stringent requirements for their disciples, especially for mages. If they were unable to produce the required product half a year later, they would be swept out the door. A s a stranger in this strange land, and with a brain that still hadn’t connected to the logic of this world, to You XiaoMo, this news was undoubtedly like thunder in a clear sky.

t/n: wearing a green hat = being cheated on. This saying came from a story about a merchant who had a very beautiful wife. Due to his job, he was never around the house much. Out of loneliness, the wife began cheating on him with a fabric shop owner whenever the husband left home. But one day, the fabric shop owner got impatient, because the husband hadn’t left the house for more than 3 months. Some days later, the fabric shop owner saw the husband pass by his store, so he thought the husband had left the house for business again, thus he sneaked into the house to meet the wife, but before he did anything, the husband came back. However, the fabric shop owner managed to hide under the bed and avoid the calamity. After that experience, the wife asked the shop owner to make a piece of green fabric and make a green hat for the husband. She gave it to the husband and said this hat represented her heart, it would protect his hair from all the dirt and hope he would always remember her through this hat. The husband gratefully received the hat and wore it every time he left for business, but little did he know, the hat was to signal the fabric shop owner that the husband had left for business and he could come over.
