The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 129

Chapter 129 : Condition

The person knocking on the door was rather persistent. Seeing that there was no reaction from the people inside, he knocked twice more while calling out, “Xiao Shidi, are you inside?”

Surprisingly, it was the voice of Fang ChenYue. You XiaoMo knew that he and Second Shixiong were not in Capital Peak these two days. He didn’t expect that he would come back today. Furthermore, it seemed as if he just came back not long ago.

But he also had to thank Da Shixiong. If not for him, he would have been peeled open and devoured by Ling Xiao. Thinking of what would have happened, You XiaoMo felt a bout of lingering fear. He flailed his hands and legs pushing away Ling Xiao that was pressing down on him.

How could Ling Xiao let him run out? Not only was he now at the peak of arousal, he was also half-dressed. If Fang ChenYue were to see him like this, it would be bad for him. You XiaoMo would definitely not dare to show his face to anyone ever again. He definitely didn’t want him to have a traumatic experience. Otherwise, it would be difficult to trick him into bed next time.

Just when he was about to run out, Ling Xiao seized his wrist with a turn of his hand and pulled him back into his arms.

You XiaoMo thought that he still wanted to carry on, making him almost cry out in alarm. But he was also afraid that it would be heard by Da Shixiong outside.

Ling Xiao held down his flailing limbs and sighed deeply, “Alright, stop making a fuss. If you keep on struggling, I will really execute you on the spot.”

These words were extremely threatening. You XiaoMo really didn’t dare to move anymore. Raising his head, he blinked his eyes at him, as if saying ‘Really?’.

Ling Xiao’s heart swayed when he saw that expression. He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss him on his small lips, but it was just one time. When You XiaoMo’s hackles rose, Ling Xiao simply pulled him up and then proceeded to help him straighten up his clothes that had been twisted into a ball. Then did the same with his hair.

After making sure that he really wasn’t going to continue with the funny business You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief. He then allowed him to help him tidy up.

A moment later, You XiaoMo walked out from behind the screen. As for Ling Xiao, he didn’t appear, not because he didn’t want to, but because You XiaoMo wouldn’t allow him.

Seeing that the sun had already set, if Da Shixiong knew that there was another person in his room at this time, he was afraid that Da Shixiong’s imagination would start to go wild. Although the reality was really like that, subconsciously, he didn’t want to let other people know that his relationship with Ling Xiao had progressed to such an extent.

Fang ChenYue knew that You XiaoMo was inside the room because he already asked around. But after having knocked for so long, and still no one came to open the door. Thinking that something happened to him inside, he was just about to push open the door and go inside when the door opened with a creak.

You XiaoMo saw Fang ChenYue who had his hand raised and was about to knock again on the door. He let out an embarrassed laugh, “Da Shixiong, why are you here? Did something happen?”

Fang ChenYue looked at his sheepish expression, appearing rather guilty. He took a look inside his room and after failing to discover anything, couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Shidi. Why did you take so long to open the door? Am I bothering you?”

“No, no, Da Shixiong came at just the right time. I was only…too absorbed in refining magic pills, so I didn’t hear you. That’s all. That’s right, does Da Shixiong need me for something?” You XiaoMo hastily explained. He didn’t dare to tell the truth.

Fang ChenYue didn’t realize that he was purposely changing the topic of the conversation. Thinking of the reason why he was here, he simply said, “I have something to tell you. Regarding the name list. ZiLin and I have already helped to secure an opportunity for you.”

“Opportunity?” You XiaoMo exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Shifu says that you are now a level two mage. If you can rise to a level three mage within these two months, he agrees to give you a spot on the list.” said Fang ChenYue.

Although there was a condition attached, this condition was fair and reasonable. If Xiao Shidi couldn’t become a level three mage, Shifu would be criticized if he gave him a spot. But, this was what they wanted. It was just that what made him surprised was that the opening of the Paradise Realm was three months away. Yet, Shifu insisted that Xiao Shidi must become a level three mage in two months.

He tried to persuade Shifu, feeling that two months was too exacting but Shifu’s attitude was very firm, so he could only let it go in the end.

He felt a little guilty towards Xiao Shidi. Before, he already promised that he would help him get a spot. But now, there was a condition attached. In the end, if he failed to get a spot, it would be somewhat hard to face him.

You XiaoMo was a little stunned, remembering that he was already a level three mage. But he couldn’t tell Da Shixiong that now. If he improved too fast, it would arouse suspicion.

As for the two month time limit, he felt that it wasn’t too big of a deal. He already expected that it wouldn’t go so smoothly. If Shifu were to agree to it right away that would be strange.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo said gratefully, “Da Shixiong. I will try my best. I definitely won’t disappoint your faith in me. Thank you. And also please help me thank Second Shixiong.”

Fang ChenYue let out a laugh and couldn’t stop himself from patting him on the head, “There’s no need to thank us. We are fellow disciples. It’s only right for Shixiongs to help Shidis. Alright, it’s already late. It’s time for me to leave. You should also rest early. Remember not to stay up late refining magic pills. It won’t be good for your health.”

“I’ll try my best.” You XiaoMo replied with a grin.

Fang ChenYue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Xiao Shidi wouldn’t obediently listen to his words. But the coming days were indeed really pressing. If their positions were reversed, even he himself would probably not listen, so he didn’t try to persuade him any more, leaving after some encouraging words.

After sending him off, You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning around after closing the door, he jumped in fright at Ling Xiao suddenly appearing behind him, “Why are you scaring people again?”

After saying that, he ignored him and was just about to walk past him when Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed a hold of his waist. His forceful arm reined him in making him feel as if his waist was about to snap. Not waiting for him to say anything, he suddenly stretched out his hand and wreaked havoc on his hair. His neat and tidy hair was turned into a chicken coop in an instant.

You XiaoMo’s expression showed that he was furious but didn’t dare to say anything, having no idea why Ling Xiao had lost his mind. He clearly just helped him tidy his hair and not long after, he actually acted like this. Flipping over faster than flipping the pages of a book. Did he regret it? This was the first time that You XiaoMo felt that men could also be fickle creatures.

In the end, that certain lunatic stopped wreaking havoc on his hair and just as crazily, he started to help him comb it again. Needless to say, his actions were very smooth, tying his hair back neatly in no time at all.

Wait wait, now was not the time to praise him.

You XiaoMo rolled his eyes, “Ling-shixiong, what are you trying to do?”

Ling Xiao used the red string in his hand to tie up You XiaoMo’s hair and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Hearing his words, he beamed while saying, “Xiao Shidi. Next time, don’t let other people pat your head as they wish, understand?”

You XiaoMo was a little lost for words. He got into a tizzy because Da Shixiong patted his head so this big shot, in order to defend his ‘territorial rights’, wreaked havoc on his hair?

But, You XiaoMo looked here and there and then asked cautiously while looking at Ling Xiao, “You mean no one is allowed to?”

Ling Xiao smiled back at him, “Of course, it doesn’t include me.”

Blergh! You XiaoMo rolled his eyes at him. He felt that besides territorial rights, even absolute rights belonged to him as if he had turned into his property. But, whatever, after all, this was not the first time he found out about Ling Xiao’s overbearing nature.

“The name list that Fang ChenYue mentioned, is it the list for the Paradise Realm?” Feeling in a good mood after declaring his absolute rights over him, he recalled the contents of the conversation he just heard from inside.

“Yes, what about it?” You XiaoMo turned around and glanced at him, not knowing why he was asking about it.

Ling Xiao let him go and walked to the table, lifting up and arranging his clothes as he sat down, “Kong Wen wants you to become a level three mage in two months. No matter what, this requires at least a year. How can it be possible to improve in such a short time?”

So Kong Wen’s intention was as clear as day. He just didn’t want to give the spot to You XiaoMo so he came up with this condition. More likely than not, Kong Wen didn’t want to estrange his two favorite disciples so this promise was made more for the sake of Fang ChenYue and Fu ZiLin.

“Yeah, even I can make the connection.” You XiaoMo said without the least bit of surprise.

Ever since Ling Xiao told him that Kong Wen didn’t like him, he felt that no matter what kind of decision or condition Kong Wen made, he wouldn’t be surprised. In fact, Da Shixiong’s answer was also something he expected.

Ling Xiao saw that there was not much reaction on his face and thought that he may be still be holding on to some hope for Kong Wen. Getting closer to him, staring at his fair and delicate face, he suddenly smiled, saying, “Xiao Shidi, if you really want to go, I have a way of getting you a spot.”

Zhou Peng’s strength was not bad and he had a share of this trip to the Paradise Realm. Furthermore, the name list was pretty much determined. He only had to say it and Zhou Peng wouldn’t mind giving up his spot. When the time came he only had to find a volume of techniques that was better than the one Zhou Peng was practicing now from the Paradise Realm and give it to him as compensation.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo was a little surprised. He then grinned while shaking his head, “There’s no need. I already got it .”

This time, it was Ling Xiao’s turn to be surprised.
