The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 118
Chapter 118: Hand It All Over
The new leader of Wolf Fang Gang was not the boorish unyielding man that everyone imagined. Instead, he looked rather young, looking about twenty seven to twenty eight years old. His face was quite handsome with contours that looked like it had been carved with a knife. The pair of red phoenix eyes made his facial features rather feminine, making his whole body appear a little delicate.
Knowing that they wanted to leave WuFeng town, the delicate man rushed over after receiving the information from his underling, just in time to stop them at the town gate.
The delicate man’s gaze skipped right over You XiaoMo and landed on Ling Xiao. He then frowned as he actually couldn’t tell this man’s level, causing his face to fall. Those whose strength he couldn’t perceive, could only be of the same level as him or higher unless they had something on them that could conceal their aura.
Looking at the luxurious clothing on him, the delicate man leaned towards the latter. This person looked very young on the outside. If he was of Star level and above, then he would be a prodigy. But if he was a prodigy, he would have heard about him.
Thinking like this, the delicate man was even more confident that he couldn’t be more than Star level. Immediately the fear disappeared from his eyes, “Dare to kill my Kuang TianLing’s underling? You all really have guts. If I were to let you leave WuFeng town today, how can I show my face again?”
“Then what are you going to do?” You XiaoMo spoke uncomfortably. The next time he came across this kind of situation, he would definitely pay the passage fee.
“Take out your weapons, gold coins, techniques, magic pills, and hand them all over. Also each of you leave behind an arm and a leg. Then I’ll consider leaving you a horse.” The delicate man’s expression was very calm but that pair of pitch black eyes were filled with cold and sinister vibes.
You XiaoMo was speechless. This person was too ruthless. Putting aside wanting to take their money, he actually wants them to leave behind an arm and a leg. I’ was not as if he can cook and eat it…
Ling Xiao couldn’t be bothered to argue needlessly with him. He just brought out the aura that he used to scare those strong forces before. In an instant, a terrifying majestic aura exploded out from his body and swept towards the delicate man and his group of people.
Since it was coming from the front, the delicate man was the first to be affected. The force he felt was much more terrifying than what those strong forces felt on the green plains. Under the intense pressure of this aura, the delicate man felt his breath stop, and discovered in horror that he could no longer move the spiritual energy in his body. On top of that, the flow in his meridians slowly started to stagnate.
This, this was clearly the aura of a Celestial level. It was actually so terrifying!
The delicate man’s face paled instantly. He was only a Three star Star level so going up against a Celestial level only meant death. Now he finally understood why these two people did not take the opportunity to flee WuFeng town. They had something to count on all along. If only he had this level of strength, he wouldn’t be hunted to this point.
At this moment, the delicate man regretted his actions.
“Now do we still need to take out our weapons, techniques, gold coins, magic pills, arm and leg?” You XiaoMo giggled and then coughed affectedly before speaking slowly.
“No, no, no…there’s no need anymore. I deserve to die. It’s me who deserves to die. Please let me go, my two masters!”
The delicate man changed from strong and powerful straight to good for nothing, begging for mercy while trembling in fear. In the moment of life and death, dignity was thrown far behind. As for his underlings behind him, they appeared to be even more useless than him.
“It’s not that we couldn’t let you go, but…” You XiaoMo beamed while looking at him.
“But what? As long as you say it, I will definitely do it for you.” The delicate man said hastily, absolutely serious. He rather cared for nothing other than saving his own skin. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding in this small WuFeng town.
You XiaoMo grinned while speaking, “Take out your weapons, techniques, gold coins, magic pills, magic herbs and hand them all over. This way, I’ll try my best to consider leaving you a horse.”
The delicate man “…”
Ling Xiao raised his brow, “Not handing them over?”
The delicate man’s face turned one shade whiter and said with a miserable face, “I will, I will hand it over…”
Saying that, he untied the magic bag at his waist and handed it falteringly to You XiaoMo. In his heart, blood was dripping. These were treasures that he accumulated over several tens of years. All he had was in there and now that it was taken away, he was left a total pauper. He felt even more regret, had known that this would be the result, he wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing no matter what other people said.
You XiaoMo happily took the magic bag from him and without so much as a glance, put it into his own magic bag. He then said, “Since you are so obliging, we will leave you a horse today. But remember to not engage in things like arbitrarily charging passage fees again, or else…”
“I won’t. I wouldn’t dare to do it again…” Before he could finish speaking, the delicate man immediately cut in. One time and he already had to send off his riches, if there was to be a second time, he would have to write his name in reverse.
“Well said!” You XiaoMo smiled until his eyes disappeared. He didn’t expect he would actually be such a sensible person.
The delicate man couldn’t voice out his complaints. He just said these words to the members of the other gangs last night. Never did he expect that they would be said to him today. It’s really, really, what came around went around!
You XiaoMo was extremely delighted to be a one time bandit. He hid the delicate man’s magic bag on him and left WuFeng town with Ling Xiao that very day according to plan. When it was almost dusk, they finally reached another small town. The town was much smaller than WuFeng town but the atmosphere was very good. None of that violent and murderous atmosphere.
The two of them randomly choose a mid-level inn to stay the night. After having dinner, You XiaoMo sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the delicate man’s magic bag. He then started to check his ‘booty’.
Although the delicate man’s outer appearance looked like he was only in his twenties, his actual age was more than that. After all, if he really was a Star level practitioner in his twenties, he would definitely be a prodigy. This kind of prodigy wouldn’t be so nameless. He would have been recruited by those strong forces long ago. He also wouldn’t be hunted down like this. So his actual age was much older than his outer appearance, at least a hundred years old.
You XiaoMo poured out everything except for the gold coins. Counting roughly, that delicate man’s total riches was actually only two hundred thousand gold coins. Although it was rather meager, he still moved the gold coins right into his own magic bag. Then he started to check out the things on the bed.
The delicate man was a practitioner so the things in his magic bag were mostly weapons and the like. There were only a few stalks of magic herbs and they were all low level magic herbs. You XiaoMo was not a wasteful person so he threw them into his dimension. As for magic pills, there were actually a few bottles, but the quantity was not much. Most were level three and level four. There was only one level five pill and it was only effective for Moon level practitioners. Thinking back, that burly man who was sent flying by Ling Xiao in WuFeng town with one flip of the hand must have depended on this type of magic pill to rise to Moon level.
You XiaoMo poured out that magic pill and held it up to his nose and sniffed it. It was definitely not pure, with quite a bit of impurities, just a low grade magic pill. Just when he was about to put it away, he suddenly thought of Ling Xiao. Stealing a glance, he saw him sitting at the table drinking tea. Rolling his eyes, he said aiming to please, “Ling-shixiong, do you want these magic pills?”
Ling Xiao looked over at him and smiled slightly, “Trying to send me away with low grade magic pills?”
You XiaoMo shamefacedly put the magic pills back into the magic bag, “No…”
Actually he really did have that little bit of intention. The thing was, most of the magic pills he refined ended up in Ling Xiao’s stomach. That was why he had this idea, to let him have these low grade magic pills instead.
After going through the magic herbs and magic pills, You XiaoMo lifted up the few soul training manual. Except for one mid-level low grade technique, the others were basically low level. These were of no use to him so he bundled them up and threw them into some corner in his dimension. Now he basically no longer used magic bags. Whatever he took, he would just put it in the dimension because the dimension was safer. Magic bags could be stolen or snatched at any time, which was unsafe.
After that, were a few weapons and some demon beast hide, fur and the like, all the things that had to do with practitioners, were all found in the delicate man’s magic bag. After he packed up all those things and sent them into his dimension, only one thing remained on the bed.
You XiaoMo looked at the thing in surprise and raised his brows. He picked it up with one hand and opened it up. It actually was a quarter of a sheepskin map. Could this be…this was a treasure map?
A gleam suddenly flashed in You XiaoMo’s eyes. Full of excitement, You XiaoMo lay on the bed and studied the map. On it was indeed drawn topographical features but because it was only a quarter, he couldn’t see the whole picture.
Right at this moment, a layer or darkness enveloped his head, blocking the path of the light.
You XiaoMo raised his head and saw that it was Ling Xiao. In an instant, he put the sheepskin map in front of him saying excitedly and tinged with expectation, “Ling-shixiong, look at this. Does this look like a treasure map?
Ling Xiao declined to comment as he took the sheepskin map. One look at the crisscrossed contours, and he simply threw the sheepskin map back into his hands. Taking off his shoes, he got on the bed and said with disdain, “This is obviously a quarter of a map. How did you decide that it is a treasure map? Maybe it was only a normal map. Furthermore, even if it is a treasure map, you only have one piece. Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking of going to look for the other three pieces?”
You XiaoMo pouted in frustration, unable to deny the truth in his words.
In reality, he was only wondering and it was not as if he really wanted to go look for whatever treasure. But he still felt that this notion was a little unrealistic. If it really was a treasure map, it couldn’t possibly fall into the hands of a sectless practicioner.
“We still have to get on the road tomorrow. Go to sleep.” Ling Xiao put his arms around his waist and pulled him into his arms, then covered them with a quilt.
The stuffed quilt was still for a moment before it was kicked a few times by You XiaoMo. At the same time an alarmed voice cried out, “Sleep means sleep. Why are you taking off my clothes…”
“Oh, I prefer…that you sleep naked.”
“…”
