The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 134

Chapter 134 : Finally His Turn

You XiaoMo, “…….”

Although he knew that the spiritual water was precious, he still couldn’t drink his own bath water. Especially since he could tell from one glance that it was very clearly dirty spiritual water.

You XiaoMo felt that it was necessary to teach it to be a clean and tidy little demon beast.

But the Blue-Blooded Wolf had an extremely strong ability to adapt. Not even two hour after being born, the little demon beast was already capable of running and jumping on its own. What it liked to do was to run around in circles around You XiaoMo, as if it was trying to mark its territory. It was just that this territory followed You XiaoMo wherever he went.

It was fine when You XiaoMo had nothing to do. But when he wanted to do something, the little demon beast would bite his pants with a death grip, not allowing him to go. But because it hadn’t been a day since its birth, the little demon beast didn’t have enough strength to move You XiaoMo. Instead, it got dragged along by You XiaoMo.

This happened quite a few times until You XiaoMo couldn’t take it anymore. He picked it up and tied it up with a rope and put it on his back, like carrying a baby while doing his work…

A few hours later, You XiaoMo left the dimension and heaved a huge sigh of relief. He never expected that the little demon beast would be so clingy. It was too bad he couldn’t bring it out. It would be disastrous if it was discovered by others.

But You XiaoMo was also worried that it would run and jump around wildly in the dimension, trampling on the magic herb fields. So he could only lock him up in the small wooden hut. He also warned him sternly not to touch the things inside. Not caring if it understood what he was saying, he left the dimension after saying that.

After the birth of the little demon beast, You XiaoMo really wanted to find someone to share the good news with but other than Ling Xiao, there was no one else so he could only wait for Ling Xiao to come find him.

He didn’t shut himself up in his room refining magic pills as usual, instead he headed to the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

It had been more than a month since the last time he went to get level two magic herbs. Although he didn’t need level two magic herbs anymore, he still had to keep up appearances. As for the fact that he was now a level three mage, for the time being, he didn’t plan to tell anyone.

Reaching the Hall of Enchanted Herbs, You XiaoMo didn’t see Zhao DaZhou. The person watching the Hall of Enchanted Herbs had reverted back to Zhao-shishu. He was sitting like a meditating old monk behind the counter. Looking at their characters, this father and son pair were not too much alike.

Zhao Zhen saw You XiaoMo the moment he opened the door and a faint smile flashed across his indifferent eyes.

Speaking of that, Zhao Zhen usually had an ambivalent manner towards You XiaoMo. However, he was not like those that looked down on You XiaoMo. At the very least, he had never shown any attitude to You XiaoMo. In fact, he sometimes even turned a blind eye towards him.

Zhao Zhen was probably not the first person to show a kind face to You XiaoMo but he was one of the few people that gave You XiaoMo a good feeling.

Maybe because he heard from Zhao DaZhou about the matter between the two of them, Zhao Zhen actually started talking to him of his own accord.

“It’s good that you’re here. I heard from Zhou-er that you usually depend on selling magic pills in order to buy magic herbs. Do you have enough?”

You XiaoMo hesitated for a moment before nodding his head repeatedly. After that, he rubbed his head in embarrassment. He couldn’t tell him the truth so he could only let it be.

Zhao Zhen didn’t ask him how much he wanted. Instead he simply gave him two months worth. This was against the rules he had told You XiaoMo before, so when You XiaoMo saw the amount, he couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes.

“Zhao-shishu, did you write down the wrong amount? It’s one month, not two months?” You XiaoMo looked in surprise at the amount of magic herbs on the form. A full two months worth of one thousand and eight hundred stalks. This amount was really not small.

“It’s not wrong. I still have to thank you for the matter with Zhou-er. Ever since he listened to your pointers, he has successfully completed the assignments I give him in a more and more outstanding manner. I believe that it is not long before he will become a level four mage.” Speaking of his own son, the lines on Zhao Zhen’s face got much softer.

You XiaoMo roughly guessed that would be the reason. But he didn’t dare accept, “Shishu, actually that is due to Fifth Shixiong’s own hard work and understanding. It doesn’t really have much to do with me. But two months worth is really too much and not in line with the rules of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs. If you make an exception for me, it would be hard to convince the others. The other disciples also won’t be happy.”

He didn’t want Zhao-shishu to be punished because of him. Furthermore, he simply didn’t need this the way he was now.

“As long as you don’t say anything, no one will know. You also don’t have to worry about the inventory check at the end of the month.” Zhao Zhen shook his head as he spoke resolutely. He clearly discussed this before with Zhao DaZhou.

You XiaoMo had no choice but to accept his good intentions. He accepted the one thousand and eight hundred stalks of magic herbs and put them into his magic bag. Now he felt that he was the one owing them a favor and it looked like it was finally his turn to return favors.

After thanking Zhao Zhen, You XiaoMo took the magic bag and left the Hall of Enchanted Herbs.

He didn’t go straight back to his room and instead he headed towards the library. His three day ‘punishment’ was already over and he could now enter the library again.

Due to the punishment, he only managed to read one book on high level demon beasts the last time. There were still a few scrolls on mid-level demon beasts that he had yet to read. This time, he decided to finish reading them all.

When he reached the library, the silver armored guards were no longer there. Maybe it was because the traitor had been caught, so there was no longer a need to keep a close watch.

Guarding the library was Elder Sun who immediately gave him a look that seemed to say ‘Why are you only here now?’. Most probably because it was already more than three days since that incident. Elder Sun had thought that he would immediately come to the library once the three days had passed.

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose awkwardly. He couldn’t tell Elder Sun that these days he was always preoccupied with the little demon beast so he had forgotten all about it.

Elder Sun also wouldn’t really ask him these things. He simply gave him the tablet and didn’t give him a second glance, returning to his usual indifferent manner. However, You XiaoMo could sense that this old man was actually one of the few people that treated him well.

Holding the tablet, You XiaoMo walked into the second floor of the West Pavilion. He saw that there were quite a few people standing inside.

With the approaching opening of the Paradise Realm, more and more people were running to the library. Although the library was supposed to be quiet place, not everyone was silent. There were some people squeezed in the corners speaking in hushed tones.

You XiaoMo walked by bookshelf after bookshelf and he saw that the bookshelf containing the scrolls on demon beasts wee packed to the brim. The calm expression in his eyes was replaced by unconcealed excitement. It looked like that frenzied period was already over so not many people were looking for demon beast scrolls.

Thinking like this, he quickly walked over. Casting a loving eye over the second shelf of the bookshelf, he found the scrolls he was looking for. There were more scrolls than that for low level demon beasts, about six scrolls altogether, although he had already read one of them.

You XiaoMo stretched his hand out wanting to take the other five scrolls when a hand suddenly appeared next to him, taking the whole set that he was aiming for just before he could.

You XiaoMo lifted his head to look at the owner of that hand. It was a man that he didn’t know.

The man was dressed in a taoist robe and a disciple from the Warrior Division. Seeing his look, the man started to smile and the smile was not a friendly one. Instead it was unmistakably one of hostility and disgust.

You XiaoMo’s head was filled with fog. He didn’t seem to know this person.

The reality was that this man had not actually met You XiaoMo before. But he knew who You XiaoMo was. That was because he was Li Jun’s best friend.

Seeing You XiaoMo’s puzzled expression, the smile on the man’s face faded a little as he said rather harshly, “You XiaoMo. Because of you, Li Jun is unable to enter the library for a year. You’re really something. Not only does Da Shixiong side with you, even Elder Sun gives you special treatment.”

Since he couldn’t enter the library, and because the materials on demon beasts cannot be brought out, unless someone retold it to Li Jun, he could only dream of getting any data on demon beasts for a year. But because the Paradise Realm was going to open soon, this matter was a huge blow to Li Jun.

Hearing him say those avenging words on behalf of his friend, You XiaoMo smiled helplessly.

The man saw his smiling face and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, “What are you smiling for?”

You XiaoMo raised his brow as he said, “You seem to be mistaken. Li Jun was punished because he broke the rules of the library. If he didn’t break the rules of the library, he wouldn’t be in that position.”

Although he didn’t like to quarrel with people, he disliked it even more when others put the blame on him when it was not his fault. That made him feel as if he was shouldering other people’s scapegoat. He had more than enough of shouldering these type of issues for his younger brother in his past life.

The man’s face turned green and then white listening to his words, but still his words were not wrong.

You XiaoMo saw that he didn’t reply so he didn’t say anything more. He took another set from the bookshelf and turned around only to run into a wall of flesh. There was nothing fleshy about this wall of flesh. The hard collision almost made his nose crooked. Without time to think about the pain, he hastily apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose…”

“He he!” A delighted chuckle echoed from above his head.

This laughter was too familiar!

You XiaoMo immediately raised his head. Seeing the handsome face of the wall of flesh, he exclaimed, “Ling-shixiong? Why are you here?”

Luckily he still remembered that this was the library so he immediately lowered his voice when he blurted that out.
