The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 136

Chapter 136 : The Insect is Here

You XiaoMo didn’t really understand the things concerning the Paradise Realm. Very quickly his thoughts shifted to another matter. Immediately he spoke excitedly to Ling Xiao, “Ling-shixiong, let me tell you some good news. That level eight demon beast has hatched.”

“That’s very good.” Ling Xiao smiled as he spoke, not the least bit surprised. Left in a space filled with spiritual energy, it would be strange if it didn’t hatch early.

You XiaoMo beamed as he spoke, “I also gave him a name. Guess what it is?”

Guess the name? Ling Xiao’s lips started to curve upwards as he looked at him thoughtfully.

You XiaoMo looked at his expression and knew that he was going to guess. He couldn’t help feeling excited, sparkling rays shooting out from his eyes as he stared at him.

Ling Xiao suddenly revealed a very meaningful smile at him, “Xiao Shidi.”

Yes? You XiaoMo immediately nodded his head.

Ling Xiao said, “Do you think that I, Da Shixiong, with my high IQ can be compared to you?”

You XiaoMo’s forehead immediately sent out a few question mark light bulbs. What did he mean? Although the difference was a very big issue, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with guessing right?

Ling Xiao saw that he still didn’t understand so he simply said, “Do you think that those with high IQ and those with low IQ will have the same tastes?”

You XiaoMo, “…”

Thanks for taking so much time to insult my low IQ. Picking a name for the little demon beast is beneath your high IQ? You XiaoMo shot him a few glares. So what if my IQ is low. Are you looking down on my low IQ? Haven’t you heard the saying that ten common cobblers can surpass Zhuge Liang?

The reality was he really had never heard of it.

“So let’s hear it. What name did you give it?” Ling Xiao feels very smug receiving his glares. Feeling extremely pleased, he finally stopped teasing him. Actually, he was also a little curious. What nickname did he give the Blue-Blooded Wolf? Clearly it was enough to call it Blue-Blooded Wolf. What need was there for a name?

“PiQiu…” You XiaoMo glanced at him and said in a small voice.

Ling Xiao couldn’t stop himself from snorting and laughing, “This name…does it mean anything?”

You XiaoMo immediately nodded his head, “Of course it does. It is very mischievous. If you don’t watch it for a moment, it would roll here and there just like a rubber ball.”

But the little boy You XiaoMo didn’t realize that rubber balls were something that was only found in modern times. The great Ling Xiao was a through and through person of the ancient times. Furthermore, he was the most ancient of the ancients. He simply did not understand what a PiQiu (rubber ball) was. But since it could run and jump around wildly, it should be a very restless fellow.

The the two of them continued chatting for while but because Ling Xiao couldn’t stay for too long, he was the first to leave. You XiaoMo stayed behind in the library by himself for almost two hours before leaving.

When he returned, he entered the dimension to check up on PiQiu. PiQiu was very obedient but it was also not that obedient, jumping here and there inside the small wooden hut. Luckily he locked his things up in the cupboards otherwise they would have been damaged by him.

You XiaoMo also didn’t want to keep it always locked up in the small wooden hut. On top of that, upon seeing him, PiQiu latched onto his lower hem, refusing to let go. He had no choice but to bring him out of the dimension for now.

“PiQiu, ah PiQiu. You must remember to never run outside. Also you can’t bark. If you get discovered, you will be taken away. Do you understand?” You XiaoMo picked up PiQiu with two hands and warned him face to face.

PiQiu blinked his red gem-like eyes, and then stuck out his tongue like a dog.

You XiaoMo patted its head, “PiQiu, you are not a dog. You shouldn’t stick out your tongue, you must nod your head. Understand?”

“Arf…” PiQiu howled right away but before it could finishing howling, its mouth was blocked by You XiaoMo.

“Shh Shh Shh!” You XiaoMo hastily silenced it. If he really let it howl, the neighbors on the left and right would probably hear it. If that happened, how was he going to explain the howls coming from his room? He quickly warned it, “PiQiu. I’m not asking you to howl. I’m asking you to nod your head. Nod your head, you understand?”

He even gave a little demonstration after saying that.

PiQiu responded by moving it’s little head away and started to check out its master’s room.

You XiaoMo shook his head helplessly, it looked like he was wishing the heavens would open. PiQiu hatched less than two days ago so it was only to be expected that it didn’t understand his words. He locked the door and windows of the room before putting PiQiu down on the floor.

Gaining its freedom, PiQiu immediately took to its heels, doing what it loved best, running around in circles. This time, it ran around the table. After a few rounds, it ran around something else. After it finished running circles around everything, it continued running in circles on the spot.

Seeing that it was no longer howling, You XiaoMo took out a toy from the dimension and gave it to PiQiu to play with. The toy was made out of bamboo strips woven into a ball. At that time in HunJi City he bought it while strolling the streets. PiQiu was very happy with this bamboo ball, moving it around occasionally with its paws.

It really fits its name of PiQiu, taking such a liking to balls.

After letting it play on one side, You XiaoMo didn’t dare to refine magic pills. Since once he started to refine magic pills he would be very absorbed and he definitely wouldn’t be able to watch PiQiu. If he were to get into some disaster, attracting the attention of others, it would really be the death of him.

Picking up an atlas from the bookshelf, You XiaoMo started to study the map of the Long Xiang Continent.

He borrowed a lot of books from the library. Each time, it was more than ten books. Usually he would finish them in a month but it was mostly thanks to his ability.

A few days later, Ling Xiao came to find him again.

This time he brought another piece of news and that was that the male Hidden Dipper Stink Bug was now in his hand.

Before this, Ling Xiao tied up the female one at another place and then set up a barrier around it. When the male one appeared, he immediately sensed it. So he caught the male one on the spot and on top of that, he caught something else, the people that were tracking them.

As luck would have it, he recognized the leader. It was the manager of the Magic Pill Central Workshop. The old man that sold them the magic herbs. As for the master of the city, Tang Hui, he didn’t appear it was lucky for him to escape all this.

Ling Xiao didn’t let them say anything, simply putting them straight into his dimension. After a few days, he found some free time to come look for You XiaoMo, bringing along the pair of Hidden Dipper Stink Bugs.

“This is the one male and one female pair of Hidden Dipper Stink Bug? Which one is male?” You XiaoMo sprawled on the table looking at the Hidden Dipper Stink Bugs lying as if dead in the jade box. On the outside, they looked completely alike. Which was male and which was female? There was absolutely no way to tell.

Ling Xiao pointed at the one on the left, “This is the male.”

You XiaoMo couldn’t help but think gentlemen to the left, ladies to the right. It looked like there was logic behind it. But he was also very curious, stretching his finger to poke the two unmoving insects, “Why are they not moving?”

Ling Xiao glanced vaguely at the Hidden Dipper Stink Bugs inside the jade box and then said lightly, “Probably scared to death.”

Scared to death? Scared of what?

You XiaoMo was puzzled. But looking closer, he saw that the male and female insects were actually trembling. Only now did he realize that they were actually playing dead. Wasn’t this too much like humans? You XiaoMo immediately thought about his PiQiu. Ever since PiQiu was born, it still hadn’t formally met Ling Xiao. Since it was his bonded demon beast, shouldn’t it get to know the…head of the family?

Disappearing for an instant, You XiaoMo appeared very quickly with a soft and fluffy PiQiu in his arms.

It has already four to five days since PiQiu was born. The fur on its body was very dense and thick. Furthermore, it was white and sparkling, extremely beautiful to look at. You XiaoMo liked this body of fur the most.

As a result, instead of its normal lively behavior, its body was curled into a ball, all four paws tightly drawn in. So much so that it really looked like its name, rubber. But it was also shivering in fear.

You XiaoMo was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Hugging it back into his arms, PiQiu immediately tried desperately like an electric drill, to burrow inside his clothes, its paws scrambling.

Not waiting for You XiaoMo to make sense of it, Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped PiQiu’s ear and then lifted it up. The demon beast, even though it is still young, its body was still very sturdy, but even though it was being held up by its ear, it didn’t even make a sound. It curled back into a ball and trembled pitifully.

You XiaoMo was dumbstruck. Could it be afraid of Ling Xiao? But why on earth for?

“Ar rooff…” PiQiu howled pitifully at You XiaoMo, its eyes brimming with tears, immediately hitting the softest spot in You XiaoMo’s heart.

“Ling-shixiong, he seems to be very afraid of you. How about you give it to me first?” You XiaoMo glanced at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao glanced at him and then took another look at the curled up PiQiu. Immediately he tossed it back into You XiaoMo’s arms in disgust. It was really useless. He hadn’t done anything and yet it was so afraid to such an extent.

Although it was back in You XiaoMo’s arms, PiQiu was still shivering endlessly.

You XiaoMo had no choice but to put it back into the dimension. Returning back to the dimension, PiQiu immediately ran off. You XiaoMo suddenly felt depressed.

When he exited his dimension, Ling Xiao told him that he wanted to bring him somewhere. He took his hand and the two of them immediately disappeared.
