The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 154

Chapter 154 : Set Out

Although Capital Peak only had five designated spots, everyone in Capital Peak, top and bottom, were all very happy.

You XiaoMo only heard about the five chosen people yesterday from Yang-shixiong. Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong were decided a long time ago so there were only three remaining spots. Two of them were disciples from Capital Peak’s other Elders. The person chosen for the last spot was someone You XiaoMo did not expect and that was Sixth Shixiong, Mao Can.

After that, after asking around, he found out why it was him.

At first, to appear fair, Kong Wen only gave each Elder one spot. Because if he gave an extra spot to either of them, the other one wouldn’t be happy. So Kong Wen simply gave that spot to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen had been in charge of the Hall of Enchanted Herbs for many years and his contribution to Capital Peak was also quite significant. Giving him the spot was only right. After hearing this, the two Elders no longer made a fuss.

But this was only decided by Kong Wen and company the day before. Zhao DaZhou also only found out about it then.

As for why You XiaoMo knew that Zhao DaZhou didn’t know, it was because last night Zhao DaZhou came looking for him. Knowing that his dad had a spot, the first one he thought of was him. He indicated that he could ask his dad to give the spot to him.

Regarding this, You XiaoMo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn’t understand why Zhao DaZhou was so eager to give the spot to him but he really couldn’t accept it. Putting aside the fact that Ling Xiao already secured a spot for him, if Zhao-shishu really gave the spot to him, Kong Wen was bound to get offended. He couldn’t be part of that.

You XiaoMo couldn’t help asking, “Fifth Shixiong, why do you insist on giving me the spot?”

Zhao DaZhou was momentarily taken aback. Without any warning, his face turned red. It was a while before he mumbled softly, “Isn’t there a saying that one should not let one’s own fertile waters flow into the fields of others? That…actually I also have my reasons.”

You XiaoMo was stunned. He simply never thought that this could be the reason. But hearing the words he added on at the end, he knew that this Fifth Shixiong was being awkward again. Could it be that he was afraid that he would object?

“Fine, what is your reason?” He relented and asked.

Zhao DaZhou rolled his eyes here and there while saying, “You also know that my dad has always been worried about my safety. If I can form a bond with a demon beast, the old man would be able to stop worrying. So, I was thinking, if you chance upon a demon beast in the Paradise Realm, maybe you can help me get one to the best of your ability. Whatever level is not important to me.” As he finished speaking, his eyes started to be evasive.

At first, this wasn’t his intention. He purely had a stroke of inspiration making up an excuse for You XiaoMo. But what he said was not entirely an excuse. In reality, he really did want a demon beast.

It was just that once he finished speaking, he himself started to feel embarrassed so he added that the level didn’t matter. What he didn’t know was that his words sparked an idea in You XiaoMo.

In the end, You XiaoMo still didn’t accept his good intentions. He didn’t want to make it difficult for Zhao-shishu. Seeing his resolve, Zhao DaZhou didn’t say anything anymore.

That night, after sending off Zhao DaZhou, You XiaoMo started to pack his things.

Although Ling Xiao said that he would move in with him a few days ago, he didn’t carry it out immediately. You XiaoMo could also roughly guess the reason why. He must be too busy but this suited him just fine.

But not long after Zhao DaZhou left, Ling Xiao also came to see him. The reason was precisely to talk about the opening of the Paradise Realm. He told him that he already made the necessary preparations and asked him to pack up his things and go to the foot of Capital Peak to wait for him. When the time came, he would go pick him up.

Since the opening of the Paradise Realm was close at hand, in order to arrive beforehand, the Tian Xin Sect and the other sects would set out two days before. So the date to set out was set for this afternoon. They would most probably arrive the morning after tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happened.

When You XiaoMo was making his preparations, other people were also making theirs.

You XiaoMo heard that the one leading the Capital Peak disciples this time was Kong Wen. But because Kong Wen was a level eight mage with half a foot inside the level nine domain, he was also subject to the restrictions like the practitioners.

Speaking about Paradise Realm’s restrictions for mages, You XiaoMo only found out about it after asking Ling Xiao. Before, he only knew that the Paradise Realm has entry restrictions for practitioners. The universal restriction was Star level and below. So Celestial level and above were all banned from entering but the restriction was also similarly effective against mages.

Mages were the same as practitioners. Divided into twelve levels. Star level corresponds to a level six mage and since Kong Wen was a level eight mage, he couldn’t enter. Hence, he could only bring the disciples until outside the Paradise Realm.

This was undoubtedly good news to You XiaoMo because he didn’t want to bump into Kong Wen inside the Paradise Realm. If that happened, it would be very awkward for him.

After that, You XiaoMo calmly waited for the time to set out but he was worried that he would miss it so he didn’t dare to refine magic pills. Once he started to refine magic pills, he would easily lose sense of time. He didn’t want most of the group to have left before he realized that he himself had been left behind.

But he clearly forgot one thing. If he couldn’t find him, Ling Xiao would certainly come up to look for him.

There was still half an hour till 1pm and it was time for the people to assemble.

You XiaoMo opened the room door, and it was very quiet all around. After making sure there was no one around, he tiptoed away quietly.

Not long before, Yang-shixiong came to find him. At that time he wanted to ask him to go together to join in the fun. However, he was refused by You XiaoMo because he wanted to go to the foot of the mountain to wait for Ling Xiao. He didn’t want others to know so he could only do it in secret. Yang Yi also didn’t think much about it. Seeing that he didn’t want to go, he left with the other disciples.

The foot of Capital Peak was not far away, approximately a five minute walk.

You XiaoMo had only been waiting for two minutes before Ling Xiao appeared behind him. He almost punched him in shock. Actually, he really wanted to do it but after considering the consequences, he restrained himself.

“Xiao Shidi, you’re so punctual.” Ling Xiao hugged his waist from behind and buried his head in his neck. He rubbed his face on him as his voice was rather languid.

You XiaoMo rolled his eyes at him. I’m not you. Do you think everyone is like you?

“Ling-shixiong, are we going straight or are we going to join everyone else?” You XiaoMo asked. The everyone else he was talking about was obviously the Warrior Division and the Mage Division. The combat ability of mages was very weak so they would definitely set out together with the Warrior Division.

“No need. I made an excuse to let them go set out without waiting for me. After that, ‘Zhou-shidi’ and I will make our way there.” Ling Xiao said. This was what he told You XiaoMo he would do beforehand. As long as one striked first to gain the advantage, when the time came, even if Tang Fan objected to him bringing You XiaoMo in with him, it would be too late.

You XiaoMo knew that the “Zhou-shidi’ he speaking of was himself. Although it had all been arranged, he still felt that it was not quite right. He couldn’t help from feeling troubled, saying, “Is it fine to do it like this?”

Ling Xiao knew what he was referring to. He laughed, “Don’t worry. Zhou Peng himself agreed. Furthermore I already agreed to find a demon beast with high combat ability for him.”

Zhou Peng was actually quite a good person. No matter what he said, he would agree without hesitation although he was curious as to why he wanted to treat You XiaoMo so well. But, the moment he heard that he wanted to bring You XiaoMo to the Paradise Realm, he immediately gave him his spot. Although his loyalty was to Lin Xiao, and not him, but because he was loyal to Lin Xiao, he didn’t mind helping him increase his strength.

“As for Tang Fan, I’ve already figured out how to deal with it.” Ling Xiao’s lips curved up in a gentle smile mixed with a hint of evil. That hint of evil wiped away the assuring look from his face, leaving him looking even more dangerous.

He knew that Tang Fan would definitely object to him bringing You XiaoMo into the Paradise Realm. It may even cause him to dislike him but so what. He has already found the person he wanted to find. By the time the matter with the Paradise Realm was over, he may have already brought You XiaoMo away with him.

Ling Xiao spoke as if he had a well thought out plan so You XiaoMo pouted a few times wordlessly.

A while later, the both of them reached the foot of the Tian Xin Sect. Tang Fan already set out with the whole group of people.

All the larger winged birds were already taken away by them. Only the smaller ones were left. Most of them could only seat three. Ling Xiao asked Steward Li to give them a Winged Bird that could seat three. In no time, the Winged Bird carrying them soared up to the skies.

Steward Li on the ground showed a puzzled look. The Grandmaster clearly told him that it would be the third generation disciples Lin Xiao and Zhou Peng. How did it change to Lin Xiao and Capital Peak’s You XiaoMo?

Steward Li couldn’t make any sense of it after thinking it over a hundred times. Too bad no one gave him the answer.

The speed of the Winged Bird was very fast. The swift figure weaved through the clouds. Only a vast expanse of whiteness lie in front of them as the wind whistled past their ears.

Luckily it wasn’t winter otherwise, the ice cold wind whipping past his face would be very painful. But You XiaoMo was still not too used to the speed of the Winged Birds. Every time he took one, he had to cover his face. With his half-closed eyes he looked over at Ling Xiao beside him with jealousy, envy, and hate.

Ling Xiao was elegantly yet languidly leaning back on the chair with his long and slender legs hanging over the front seat. His laidback appearance really made a certain person jealous.

You XiaoMo finally understood why he chose a Winged Bird that could seat three. It looked like this was the reason. How hateful. He also wanted to do that!

As if sensing the resentment coming from a certain someone, Ling Xiao tilted his head to look at You XiaoMo. He pointed to the empty space in his arms, raising the corner of lips while saying, “Xiao Shidi, do you want to sit here?”

You XiaoMo imagined for a moment how it would look like if he sat there. His face immediately turned red. Wouldn’t that mean he would be straddling Ling Xiao? He glared at him in anger and shame, wanting to tear his head open, “I don’t want to!”

“You really don’t want to? My arms are very comfortable.” Ling Xiao persisted, getting up halfway to lean towards his ear. His ambiguous breath teasing his sensitive earlobe and then he looked with satisfaction as his ears turned bright red and spread to his cheeks and neck.

“I said I don’t want to means I don’t want to.” You XiaoMo was shamed to anger, pushing him away.

After being pushed away, Ling Xiao didn’t insist. Instead he smiled like a cat that caught a fish and leaned back on the chair. He said leisurely, “Xiao Shidi, I know you are very shy. It’s alright. My arms are forever open wide for you. You can throw yourselves in my arms any time you want.”

You XiaoMo bared his teeth with lips drawn. He wouldn’t ever throw himself in his arms of his own accord.

Ling Xiao seemed to be able to understand the look in his eyes. But he only smiled without saying anything. There was nothing absolute in this word. As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way!

As a result, the minute night fell, You XiaoMo shrank into Ling Xiao’s arms of his own accord. It couldn’t be helped, this person was rather afraid of the cold. Although there were clothes in his magic bag, the thin flimsy things were simply unable to ward off the cold air of the night. It was not as effective as Ling Xiao, this magnificent wall of flesh.

As for Ling Xiao, this was his long awaited moment. He confidently hugged the person as if it was his right. Saying that it was to keep him warm, he rubbed him once over all over his body, not forgetting his little brother. Or it should be said, paying most attention to the little brother. As a result, You XiaoMo passed the night feeling hot and bothered, seriously overheated.

The next day, he woke up in Ling Xiao’s arms. His first reaction was to hit him. When he covered his chest and used the opportunity to run into his dimension to take a bath.

Ling Xiao didn’t take off his clothes when he played with him last night because he was afraid that he would catch a cold from the cold air. As a result, he released inside his clothes. When he woke up this morning, his whole body was feeling uncomfortable.

The second night, Ling Xiao was still planning on using the same old trick. But You XiaoMo didn’t give him the chance because he realized that what he did last night was stupid. Clearly he could hide inside his dimension and not subject himself to this kind of torture. He only had to make sure he didn’t use his soul to move his dimension and he would be able to come back out on the Winged Bird.

So Ling Xiao spent a very desolate night all alone with the rustling wind.

The next day, You XiaoMo came out to see Ling Xiao beaming at him. That handsome face showed no sign of resentment from being left in the cold. Instead, there was an unfathomable hint of excitement. Rays of light were coming out of the eyes looking at him making his scalp feel numb. He thought of a ravenous wolf that had caught sight of its prey. Why was it so terrifying!?

Then, as his heart was seized with terror and trembling in fear, the Winged Bird reached its destination.
