The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 107
Chapter 107: Taking Petty Advantage
“Would the guests like to stay for the night or dine?” The manager that was just settling accounts at the counter immediately put on a smile when he saw You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao walking in from outside.
You XiaoMo said that it was the former and the manager showed an apologetic face, “My two guests, I’m sorry but today the Seven Stars Tower is only accepting those that will be participating in the auction. If the two of you are not going to participate in the auction, you can only look for another hotel. I am really sorry about this.” The manager actually spoke sincerely, with a good attitude. But if it was someone with an especially bad temper, they probably would be all up in arms. But the ones behind Seven Stars Tower was the Master of HunJi City. If one wanted to make a fuss here, one still had consider one’s own worth beforehand.
You XiaoMo heard these words and immediately remembers the distinguished guest status card in his pocket. He then rummaged through his magic bag and a black distinguished guest status card appeared in his hand.
Seeing him show the distinguished guest card, the manager was momentarily stunned before quickly inviting them respectfully and reverently to the main rooms on the second floor.
The black card was a level two distinguished guest card. The people that could have this card were all with over five million in assets. These two people held the level two distinguished guest card so they were clearly people of extraordinary background.
When the two figures disappeared into the mouth of the stairs to the second floor, some of the people seated in the main hall finally turned green with envy.
It was not only the manager that recognized that distinguished guest card. A lot of people in the main hall also recognized it because ninety percent of them would be participating in the auction tomorrow. It was just that the people that were able to get a distinguished guest card was very few.
Although HunJi City was a prosperous city, but the people taking part in the auction were not necessarily rich. A lot of them were just attracted to the famous event. Some of them couldn’t even get the level three distinguished guest card.
“Damn, those two really have money, level two distinguished guest card is only for those that auction over five million!” A skinny and rather leery man looked at the direction where the two of them disappeared while licking his lips. He finally couldn’t stop himself from cursing. His face seemed unhappy but his eyes were mostly green with envy.
The important thing was that the distinguished guests seats were much better than the hard seats. On top of that, it was easy to see the items on auction. That was why a lot of people wanted to get the distinguished guest card. Otherwise, one would only be able to see the price of the items on auction. But a level three distinguished guest card was only for those with over two million.
The skinny man’s voice was loud. There were two tables of people next to him. Looking at their dressing, they seemed to be together.
At one of the tables, was an especially eye-catching woman who was dressed in a flame red dress that accentuated her full and slender hourglass figure. This figure was really provocative, attracting the surrounding men to look over in her direction over and over again. Their leers were rather bare-faced but the woman acted oblivious. Her seductive eyes were looking in the direction of where You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao disappeared with an unreadable expression.
The old man at her side saw her expression and couldn’t help asking, “Young miss, can it be that you are interested in those two?”
“Those two people seemed to be a little interesting.” A slight smile was on the woman’s lips as she put down the wine glass. She didn’t deny it.
“Even if they are very interesting, we still couldn’t provoke them.” The old man said seriously.
“What makes you think so?” The woman asked in reply, showing much interest.
“The young boy holding the card was indeed very weak. Not worthy of mention. But the man with him was rather unreadable. The old me was unable to figure out his level. Furthermore, you saw for yourself, the Seven Stars distinguished guest card is not for just anyone. Those people probably have some backing. It’s better not to provoke them.” The old man spoke earnestly.
“Elder Yun, you are clearly lauding the spirit of others while belittling that of our own.” The woman smirked, her indifferent expression seemed to not place any importance in the old man’s words.
“Young miss, you cannot speak like this. This time there are many powerful forces taking part in this auction. It’s not that there are none that are more powerful than Xiao Yao Sect. Furthermore, before we set out, the Grandmaster already warned me not to let you throw a tantrum and offend people.” The old man shook his head.
“Tsk.” The woman looked to the side, her gaze still fixed on the second floor. A strange gleam in her eyes.
The old man saw how it was and could only shake his head helplessly.
The manager brought the two of them to a luxurious room. Since the room already had two beds, he didn’t arrange two rooms for them. He only left after seeing that the both of them didn’t have any objections.
You XiaoMo walked into the inner room and saw that there were actually two beds. His momentary surprise turned into wild rejoicing. He thought that there would only be one bed. Before, he didn’t ask for two rooms because he knew that Ling Xiao wouldn’t allow it, so he didn’t protest pointlessly.
Ling Xiao also walked inside, and after a sweeping gaze didn’t mind that the two beds gave such joy to a certain person. After all, when it was time to sleep, he only needed to pull that person onto the bed and that would be the end of it.
“Ling-shixiong, should we go back to our original appearance?” You XiaoMo stood in front of the mirror, looking at the unfamiliar face reflected in the mirror. This face had obviously been altered.
After the two of them set out, Ling Xiao altered their faces to avoid being recognized and creating unnecessary trouble. So their faces were completely different. Even if those close to them like Zhou Peng and Fang ChenYue were to stand in front of them, they also wouldn’t be able to recognize them.
“No need.” Ling Xiao walked to the tea table and sat down.
You XiaoMo dawdled over and looked at his face, asking cautiously, “Ling-shixiong, the face you have now, is it your real face?”
Ling Xiao lifted his eyes and glanced at him, his lips starting to smile, “You really want to know?”
You XiaoMo immediately moved a few inches back, laughing, “If Ling-shixiong is willing to tell me…”
But seriously, he really was very curious about Ling Xiao’s actual appearance. After knowing him for so long, he still didn’t know what he really looked like. He only knew that he was called Ling Xiao. Same pronunciation as Lin Xiao-shixiong’s name, so he never had to worry about calling the wrong name.
“Is that so…” Ling Xiao moves closer to him, looking at him with smiling eyes, “Then I’m unwilling.”
You XiaoMo’s mouth twitched, “…”
Not long after, the waiter brought over steaming dishes for dinner. After finishing dinner, You XiaoMo called the guy again and asked him to bring ten plates of after dinner snacks. This was because he remembered something that he almost forgot. This time down the mountain, there was one more thing that he wanted to do, that was to stockpile some food.
He was not used to eating Breatharian magic pills all the time. Just during times of closed-door cultivation when he had no choice. He was someone that usually placed importance on good food but he didn’t really like the canteen. Since it had too many people with too many words. On top of that, the other disciples were always giving him strange looked so he decided to store up a pile of food in his dimension while on this trip down the mountain.
Since things were free in Seven Stars Tower, if he didn’t make full use of it, it would only be a disservice to himself. Thus You XiaoMo would call the waiter to send up refreshments every half an hour. Once the waiter left, he would immediately pack the snacks into his dimension. In order to not let the waiter realize what he was doing, he deliberately scattered a few crumbs on the floor, to provide circumstantial evidence, letting the waiter see when he came to clear away the plates.
You XiaoMo’s actions made the waiter depressed. He felt that these two people had too much capacity for food. Perhaps he really was tricked by You XiaoMo so he didn’t realize that the evidence presented in front of him was actually manufactured.
Ling Xiao, who witnessed the whole process was at first stunned. But after the waiter left, he seized You XiaoMo and groped him thoroughly, laughing happily, “Xiao Shidi, how is it that you’re getting cuter and cuter?!”
“Hey, don’t mess up my hair.” You XiaoMo struggled to jump out of his evil claws. This was already the second time he was molested today. He got more and more puzzled as to why Ling Xiao liked to rub his head.
Around 9pm to 11pm, when most people were already asleep, You XiaoMo wanted to ask the waiter to send up the last round of snacks but he was pulled onto the bed by the impatient Ling Xiao. After having his resistance subdued by force, You XiaoMo forgot all about his previous plan to sleep on separate beds.
The next day, You XiaoMo struggled to open his eyes under the glaring sunlight. As was to be expected, he again slept on top of Ling Xiao’s body, this time, he very calmly climbed off the bed and put on his clothes then washed his face. No matter who it was, if every early morning they woke to find themselves clinging tightly on top of another man’s body, and it was something they did of their own accord, it was unthinkable if they didn’t learn to get used to it.
Once he woke up, Ling Xiao also woke. After washing up, they both went downstairs together.
Breakfast was eaten at the main hall on the first floor. With everybody watching, You XiaoMo could only put away his desire to take petty advantages and eat his breakfast accordingly.
He definitely didn’t know that the manager and the waiter finally heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t ask for more snacks, rejoicing that this ancestor was about to leave. Although the Seven Stars Tower provided free food and drink to those with the distinguished guest card, it still couldn’t withstand that rate of consumption. If everyone was like him, Seven Stars Tower would only look forward to bankruptcy.
When You XiaoMo left, the manager personally sent him off respectfully. His appearance was like that of someone who just sent off a huge mountain that had been weighing on his shoulders, appearing extremely relieved and carefree.
