The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 111

Chapter 111: Young Egg of the Blue-Blooded Wolf

The complete silence in the hall was suddenly broken by the sound of a certain someone falling to the floor.

The originally tense atmosphere was immediately dispelled. Quite a lot of people looked towards the direction of the sound but they don’t see anything. It was only…one less person.

Ling Xiao helped him up with a straight face, patting him lightly on the back, “Xiao Shidi, did you hurt yourself falling down?”

You XiaoMo hastily climbed up, his back towards the crowd. His shoulders were trembling as he gripped Ling Xiao’s robe and used it to cover his face. His snot and tears were probably already staining the robe. Then, as if finding that not enough for his use, he pulled Ling Xiao’s sleeve, wanting to use it to wipe the tears at the corners or his eyes. The latter’s calm face became distorted.

“Xiao Shidi, are you done wiping?” A solemn tone came from the top of his head.

“No… uh, I’m done… ” You XiaoMo shook his head unconsciously and suddenly glimpsed a terrifying face. His fingers stiffened causing the persecuted and destroyed piece of white cloth to slip out out of his hand.

Ling Xiao picked up the patch where he wiped his snot and tears, and turned to him smiling sweetly, “Xiao Shidi, do you know how much this piece of my clothes is worth?”

You XiaoMo shook his head mechanically, “I don’t know.”

“It’s ok if you don’t know. I will tell you.” Ling Xiao rubbed his head gently, speaking in a soft voice, “This robe is made from the silk of the Ninth Hell Silkworm. And the Ninth Hell Silkworm that produces this silk is a level eleven high level demon beast. It will only produce silk once every five hundred years. The value of this silk couldn’t be weighed in gold. Using this small ball to create an armor, it is impenetrable to sword and spear, indestructible by water and fire. Tell me, is selling you off enough to replace it?”

You XiaoMo stared blankly at the size Ling Xiao indicates with his fingers, not even the size of a fist.

You XiaoMo’s face immediately started to flush with blood. Level eleven demon beast? What was that about? How would he know? But what he was certain of was that it wouldn’t be enough even if he was sold off. It probably wouldn’t even be enough for some scraps.

“I’m sorry, Ling-shixiong. I was wrong, don’t don’t, don’t….don’t make me pay you back ok?”

You XiaoMo wailed as he hugged Ling Xiao’s waist. Then he blinked with all his might, actually managing to squeeze out two drops of crocodile tears. He unconsciously thought of again wiping them on him when he hastily stopped himself.

The corners of Ling Xiao’s lips twitched slightly, the last part was what mattered to You XiaoMo.

Feeling the shocked stares from downstairs and upstairs, Ling Xiao grimaced, “Xiao Shidi, get up first.”

“I don’t want to!” You XiaoMo shook his head firmly, saying in a muffled voice, “Only if you don’t ask me to pay you back. Then I’ll get up.”

The corners of Ling Xiao’s eyes twitched, “Fine, I won’t make you pay me back.”

“Really?” You XiaoMo immediately raised his head. The question was earnest but there were crocodile tears hanging on the corners of his eyes and his eyes were not red. They seemed like real tears but it also seemed like fake tears.

“Really!” Ling Xiao nodded solemnly, the only thing he hadn’t done was to swear..

You XiaoMo swallowed. He still really wanted him to swear but… if that lead to an opposite effect, he would have to die crying, so after thinking it through, he decided to hold it in.

When they were talking, that bottle of spiritual liquid was won by that black-robed man at the price of nineteen million. More than twice the reserve price which was truly a sky high price. Many people wouldn’t be able to raise this amount even if they saved up their whole lives. But more and more people were getting very curious over the black-robed man’s identity. Thirty million in one go. His background could only be high, not low.

But some people were already planning to kill the black-robed man, such as Xiao Yao Sect’s Mu Yao.

Mu Yao received her father’s orders to win the spiritual liquid. Originally, this was something that would be a success nine times out of ten. Since Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan would let her win the spiritual liquid in order to win the final treasure. But unexpectedly, an intruder shot out of nowhere.

Mu Yao looked coldly at the black-robed person on the first floor that seemed to completely disregard how other people saw him. She thought darkly in her heart, it’d be better for him not to fall into her hands. If not he would have to get a taste of the power of the Xiao Yao Sect’s Dark Sky Claw.

At this moment, on the auction platform, the old man that had been smiling shrewdly all along suddenly got serious. He turned around and went behind the curtain divider. A moment later, he came back out holding a jade box. The jade box was square shaped, about forty centimeters on each side. Immediately multiple powerful auras erupted in the auction hall.

Most of the powerful auras were from the distinguished guest seats on the second floor. Each and everyone fixed on the jade box in the old man’s hands, unconcealed greed in their eyes. Even the one that had originally decided to let go, Mu Yao. Her eyes immediately lit up in fire.

The old man took a deep breath and put the jade box on the auction platform. His bony fingers slowly lifted up the cover of the jade box. Two seconds later, the contents of the jade box were revealed to everyone. Everyone’s eyes were all fixed on the thing inside the jade box.

A single enormous young egg lay inside that jade box. The young egg was grayish white in color with the exterior emitting faint rays of light. It was clearly a young egg that had life. Not only that, everyone could feel that the young egg was radiating a very intense life force.

“What is that?” You XiaoMo asked curiously, his eyes open wide.

“Egg of the demon beast Blue-Blooded Wolf.” Ling Xiao was also looking at that young egg, slowly narrowing his eyes.

Blue-Blooded Wolf? Sounds like something awesome. But You XiaoMo was still confused, “Ling-shixiong, what level demon beast is the Blue-Blooded Wolf? How powerful is it?”

A cold sneer appeared on Ling Xiao’s lips as his eyes got sharper, “The Blue-Blooded Wolf has the most noble bloodline in the wolf clan. They have great potential. Although they are constrained by their bloodline and unable to ascend to the level of the legendary divine wolf, but based on the potential in their bloodline, when it grows up, it would be at the least a level eight demon beast, equal to a Spiritual level practitioner.”

“So awesome!” You XiaoMo muttered.

Although the Blue-Blooded Wolf was restricted by its bloodline, the highest level it could be was a level eight demon beast, to the strong forces present, a level eight demon beast was a helping hand that they couldn’t get enough of. If they could get this level eight demon beast, and train it, in the future they could just use it to overpower the other forces.

For example the Xiao Yao Sect and Ji Le Sect. They were on equal standing because they both had a Spiritual level leader keeping each other in check. If they could get one more Spiritual level power, then they no longer had to fear the other forces. Therefore, the young egg of a level eight demon beast was extremely enticing to them.

But the young egg of a level eight demon beast also had a disadvantage: its growth. It took a set process for a young egg to grow and this process cost a lot. At the same time, one had to spare no efforts to cultivate it and protect it. If it got killed before becoming a true level eight demon beast, that would mean all the effort would be completely wasted.

So if it was someone who didn’t have the ability to nurture a young egg, it would be of no use even if they bought it back.

“These people are just asking to be burned!” Ling Xiao said with contempt.

“What do you mean?” You XiaoMo did not really understand when he heard his words.

Ling Xiao sneered saying, “Blue-Blooded Wolves live in packs and since there are relatively few female Blue-Blooded Wolves, the number of progeny has always been low. Sometimes only one Blue-Blooded Wolf is born every five years. So once they find out that their offspring has been stolen, they will certainly be enraged. If they were to come here for a reckoning, no one here will be able to escape.”

You XiaoMo breathed in sharply. One young egg every five years, this rate was really low.

Ling Xiao continued, “But these practitioners are after all not stupid. They must have heard of how fearsome the Blue-Blooded Wolves can be. They must have taken some secret measures. That’s why those Blue-Blooded Wolves have yet to come looking.”

“This young egg is too pitiful!” You XiaoMo looked at the young egg lying all alone in the jade box. He imagined the scene when its parents discovered that it had disappeared. They must have been extremely heartbroken. He couldn’t help but shed a handful of sympathetic tears. He wondered how his parents reacted when they found out that he had died.

Hearing these words, a smile rose up in Ling Xiao’s eyes, “Xiao Shidi. Can it be that you are not afraid of demon beasts?”

You XiaoMo scratched his head, “I’m ok with it!”

In his previous world he watched Animal Planet. Those animals were really very cute especially the newly born little animals, most were really explosively adorable.

Previously his family had a neighbor that kept a female Chow Chow. That female Chow Chow then gave birth to a litter of little Chow Chows. Because there were too many, the neighbor gave one little Chow Chow to his family.

The little Chow Chow was white in color and especially cute. You XiaoMo liked it very much but it was snatched away by his little brother that loved to take the things he liked. But not long after, his little brother got fed up of the little Chow Chow and asked his parents to give it away. After that, he didn’t see that little Chow Chow again. At that time, he thought that it was really too bad!

On the auction platform, after listening to the old man’s saliva spraying in all directions with the explanation, everyone finally found out that it was a young egg of the Blue-Blooded Wolf.

The Blue-Blooded Wolf was a level eight demon beast and that meant as long as one had this young egg, there would be a day that one would have a helping hand of a Spiritual level beast. A Spiritual level helper was not the same as those of Sky level, those that easily appeared everywhere like bok choy.

Although most of the people did not have the meant to bid, it was worthwhile just to be able to see the young egg of the Blue-Blooded Wolf. Who didn’t know that the Blue-Blooded Wolf was an extremely rare demon beast.
