The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 133

Chapter 133 : Birth

The growth cycle of mid-level magic herbs was much longer than that of low level magic herbs. You XiaoMo used up the spiritual water that he had diluted and then diluted a little more, but only for the level four magic herbs. He didn’t plan on using diluted spiritual water for level five and level six magic herbs.

After finishing his work with the magic herb fields, You XiaoMo walked over to the magic herbs he dug out that time from the ice cave. After steeping in spiritual water for so many days, the ten or so stalks of magic herbs were thriving. Some of them had even begun to produce seeds.

Talking about seeds, You XiaoMo thought about another batch of seeds which were not bought. They were seeds that were produced during the growth of the magic herbs where stalk of magic herb produced three to four seeds. Some were good, while some were bad. But when one summed it all up, the bad ones were few.

Since he bought a lot of seeds before, he didn’t use the seeds that were produced so they were all collected by him and placed in the cupboard. He examined them before and every seed was much more plump and shiny than the ones he bought from outside.

But, because he knew that the magic herbs would produce seeds, he didn’t worry about how many seeds there were.

As for why he bought so many seeds in HunJi City, that was because if he were to buy just a few of each type, he was worried that the old man from the Magic Pill Central Workshop wouldn’t sell him any because if the quantity was too low, he wouldn’t be able to earn many gold coins.

But the most important thing was that he would have to wait for the magic herbs to produce seeds before he could replant them. That would mean wasting time. Of course, this was when he was not short of money.

Returning back into the small wooden hut, You XiaoMo caught sight of that level eight demon beast egg. The level eight demon beast, Blue-Blooded Wolf was a mid-level demon beast. The last time he went to the library, he read about it in the scrolls. The Blue-Blooded Wolf was a strength and speed type demon beast and its fur was silvery white and very soft. If one overlooked the Blue-Blooded Wolf’s fierce and violent characteristics, it was undoubtedly a very beautiful demon beast.

This type of demon beast that was adept at combat and was a really good candidate for bonding.

But there was one thing that caught You XiaoMo’s attention. It was recorded on the scrolls that very long ago, the Blue-Blooded Wolf’s bloodline was not only not limited to level eight. It is said that there were level eleven and level twelve Wolf gods.

But by now, pure-blood Blue-Blooded Wolves had become rarer and rarer. There hadn’t been any Blue-Blooded Wolves above level eight. It must be said that Blue-Blooded Wolves that were above level eight were capable of shapeshifting.

You XiaoMo lifted up the demon beast egg with both hands while indulging in his wildest fantasies. Could this be a pure-blood demon beast egg? If it was, wouldn’t that mean he would have a legendary Wolf God?

If it was so, he would even wake up from laughing while dreaming it was too bad it was only a what if.

You XiaoMo lowered his head and looked at the demon beast egg. Da Shixiong said that the best time to establish a bond was before the demon beast hatched, or while it was still young. This way, during the bonding process, there wouldn’t be too much resistance from the demon beast. That was because if the resistance from the demon beast was too strong, it would be hard to control it. One could even end up suffering from a backlash.

Seeing that this demon beast egg could hatch at any time, he must take advantage of this time to form the bond. But…You XiaoMo remembered something else that Da Shixiong had said.

The number of demon beasts that a mage could bond with depended on their own soul force. A stronger soul force could bond more demon beasts. Actually, it also depended on the level of the soul.

For example, a level three mage usually could bond with three demon beasts. The level of the demon beast depended on their own ability to form the bond. Later, with every rise in level, one more demon beast could be added. But because there was a limit, most mages wouldn’t bond with just any demon beast.

You XiaoMo was now a level three mage. According to principle, he could bond three demon beasts. However, he didn’t know if his current strength was enough to bond a level eight demon beast.

After hesitating for a bit, he decided to try it.

Opportunity was always accompanied by danger. If one didn’t have the guts to try, how would there be any progress?

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo resolutely placed his right hand on top of the demon beast egg. A surge of soul force flowed steadily from the palm of his hand into the demon beast egg.

The life force inside was evidently very healthy and strong. The heartbeat was very powerful, beating strongly. While still inside the shell, he could still feel the faint pressure emitted by the bloodline of the Blue-Blooded Wolf.

The gentle soul force flowed through the egg shell and wrapped around the tiny life force inside. Very smoothly, without evoking any resistance from the small life force. He could even feel the life force in the egg giving out a comfortable moan, as if it was trying to say something.

You XiaoMo immediately decided to pour his soul force into the space between the eyebrows of the Blue-Blooded Wolf. Unexpectedly and without any difficulty, he succeeded. Very quickly, he sensed the bond established between a man and a beast. It was like an invisible restraint.

You XiaoMo kept the surging happiness in his heart in check. Carefully, he withdrew his soul force. Then he picked up the egg and looked at it full of joy. This was his first bonded demon beast and it was a level eight Blue-Blooded Wolf. Compared to other mages, he was extremely fortunate!

But what surprised him was that the whole process seemed extremely smooth. It definitely wasn’t as difficult as Da Shixiong said it would be. No matter how he racked his brain, he still didn’t understand it.

Since he established the bond with the Blue-Blooded Wolf, he could now feel the life force coming from inside the egg. That life force was telling him that it would hatch three days later.

This speed was actually really fast. Before, when he got the egg, although he could sense the life force inside the egg, it was clearly quite far away from hatching. Unexpectedly after bringing it back for a few days, it was soon about to hatch. But he was very much looking forward to it. What would a newly born Blue-Blooded Wolf look like?

While holding onto this excited feeling, You XiaoMo continued refining magic pills for three days. Finally, it was the day to welcome the Blue-Blooded Wolf.

Since Ling Xiao didn’t come to look for him for three days, and because he had no way of contacting him, he didn’t tell Ling Xiao about the Blue-Blooded Wolf hatching. That day, after finishing the things he had to do early in the day, You XiaoMo entered his dimension.

That demon beast egg was placed by him in the courtyard, on the stone platform, inside the depression that was meant for the cauldron. In order to prepare for its birth, the Blue-Blooded Wolf went all out absorbing the spiritual energy in the dimension. But when it sensed the presence of You XiaoMo, the round egg suddenly jumped up in joy, swaying a few times, as if it was very happy to see him.

You XiaoMo was not surprised. During these three days, he was already used to witnessing all the lively antics of the demon beast egg. Putting it plainly, it was really too energetic.

One of the days before this, in order to get his attention, that demon beast egg rolled from inside the wooden hut to the magic herb field, jumping cheerfully and light-heartedly, actually jumping around in front of him. It really scared him to death. What if the shell cracked? Wouldn’t that mean it wouldn’t be able to hatch normally?

In his mind, a small demon beast that couldn’t hatch normally was equivalent to a premature baby.

From that moment on, You XiaoMo forbade it from jumping up and down, only allowing it to sway from side to side.

The small demon beast was extremely intelligent. From that moment on, it no longer jumped up and down. Every time it saw him, it would sway side to side to convey its happiness.

You XiaoMo walked over and picked it up in his arms, rubbing its head. The little demon beast, separated by a layer of shell, rubbed itself in his arms very affectionately. The affectionate interaction was not like one between master and servant, instead it was more like genuine happiness.

After cuddling for a bit, You XiaoMo put down the demon beast egg. Today was the day the small demon beast would hatch. He had watched Animal Planet before and knew that most animals would get attached to the first thing they saw when they were born. So he wanted to see the birth of the little demon beast with his own eyes. He also wanted to be the first thing it saw.

The small demon beast that was placed back on the stone platform rolled back into the hole.

When it stopped moving, the surface of the egg shell suddenly sent out an intense beam of white light. The white light started to flash fiercely. Then the spiritual energy in the dimension started to surge, pouring into the demon beast egg.

This phenomenon continued for a while, only stopping when the egg shell was almost bursting. Then a cracking sound caused You XiaoMo to jump in fright. Looking closely, he found that the egg had cracked.

The crack continued to expand and a moment later, the whole egg was full of cracks. Then a tiny, downy paw stretched out from the broken shell. The small paw quivered before pressing down on the platform and a damp head appeared with eyes half closed. Front paws and hind legs then crawled out from the egg shell one after another.

The tiny Blue-Blooded Wolf sprawled on the top of the stone platform and whimpered at the dazed You XiaoMo. Newborn demon beasts didn’t have much strength.

You XiaoMo placed his hand on his heart, his face filled with surprise and happiness.

This completely silvery white and extremely beautiful little Blue-Blooded Wolf was his companion. He always thought that the Blue-Blooded Wolf would be a very ferocious demon beast. He never expected that a newborn demon beast would actually be so cute.
