The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 167

Chapter 167: Causing Trouble

Ling Xiao tilted his head and saw an ox skin sheet in his hand. This piece of leather seemed very familiar. It appeared to be very similar to the incomplete map of the Jade Spiritual cave which he had.

You XiaoMo spread it out and looked. There was a route marked on it, but it was not clear. Also, it did not indicate where it was leading to. This map was found in Ye Dan’s magic bag.

At this time, Ling Xiao fished out another piece of leather from the pile of stolen goods. It was the same as the one he had in his hand. If one wanted to insist on the details, they were different in size.

The one in his hand was only the size of two palms. The one in Ling Xiao’s hand was the size of an A4 paper. On it, the terrain and routes were depicted very clearly. At the center of the map was a symbol of a palace. It seemed as if most of the routes were leading to that.

Comparing the two maps, it was clear that the one in Ling Xiao’s hand was better. You XiaoMo immediately tossed away the map in his hand and went over to Ling Xiao to read the map together.

“Ling-shixiong, does the Paradise Realm have this kind of place?” You XiaoMo asked full of curiosity.

“The Paradise Realm used to have a Master. The existence of a palace is nothing strange.” Ling Xiao opened the map and lay it on the ground. Looking at it like that, this map was very complete. The places they had gone to were mostly in it and there was still a lot they hadn’t covered.

The preparations of the demons were so complete. Looked like they had been paying attention to the Paradise Realm for a long time. Or perhaps they prepared all these things to deal with the disciples of the major sects. After all, most of the magic herbs were of no use to them. Only demon beasts were of use.

You XiaoMo compared them for a second and discovered that although Ye Dan’s map was small, the map’s destination was also that palace, though via a different route.

“Ling-shixiong, do you think that both were headed to this palace? The Qing Cheng Sect had it, so the Tian Xin Sect should also have it, right?” You XiaoMo thought it over and suddenly looked towards Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao didn’t get this map. Furthermore, Elder Shi pointed them in the complete opposite direction from the palace. He seemed to have purposely sent him further and further away from the palace, making it clear what his intentions were.

Ling Xiao smirked, “Not even telling me such an important thing. Looks like Tang Fan has been wary of me for a long time. Oh well. Let’s go over there and look. What is the secret hidden in the palace, attracting the attention of all the major forces?”

You XiaoMo immediately nodded his head in glee.

He also wanted to go look, but he was not in a hurry.

The place they were at now was the Jade Spiritual Cave. From here, it would take at least half a day to get there. Furthermore, they would probably come across all sorts of magic herbs or demon beasts. Digging here, digging there, it would also take some time. In the end, it would probably take over a day.

As for the others, their situation was probably the same as them. Furthermore, they might not necessarily have such a clear map.

After that, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao picked through the things together, finally dividing up all their spoils of war.

There were seven to eight martial arts techniques all together, but because they were from the same forces, there were a few copies of the same techniques. Luckily, Xing ShiYi’s martial art technique was a high quality mid-level volume. It seemed to be one practiced by the core disciples of Xing Luo Sect. However, since its nature was rather dark, what people would consider tainted ways, it could only be stored or sold.

As for the demons, their martial art techniques were passed on from generation to generation, so there was no specific volume of martial art techniques.

Next were the magic pills. There were seven mid-level pills and more than five hundred low level pills. Half of them were dug out from the magic bags of the two mages. It was too bad that Ling Xiao didn’t like them, so You XiaoMo could only put them away and find a way to sell them off later.

Last of all, the magic herbs. Big sects were not the same as their assets were rather significant. Furthermore, people like Xing ShiYi would have come across good magic herbs. There were a few stalks of mid-level magic herbs which You XiaoMo didn’t have. Moreover, the quality was not low. It was too bad that there wasn’t a single stalk of level seven magic herb in their magic bags.

By the time they were finished dividing up and putting away the things, two hours had passed.

You XiaoMo placed all the magic bags into one of the magic bags and then handed it over to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao took the magic bag and smiled until his eyes turned into slits. With a flick of his hand, he flung the magic bag with quite a lot of force. The naked eye could see the magic bag soaring through the air, but just for a little while. Very quickly, it disappeared from their field of view. Who knows where it flew off to.

“Strange, why is PiQiu not back yet?” As You XiaoMo watched the magic bag disappear, he finally realized that the agreed-upon time had already passed.

“Maybe he is too caught up in the joy of playing.” Ling Xiao seemed to be thinking of something, the corner of lips lifting showing a hint of amusement.

“Playing?” You XiaoMo didn’t understand.

“Blue-Blooded Wolves are famous for their combat ability. Furthermore, fighting is the fastest way for them to rise in level. You were only willing to let it out after all this time, so of course he had to ‘play’ to its heart’s content before coming back,” Ling Xiao rested his head on his arm and said contentedly.

You XiaoMo didn’t say anything.

It seemed like the playing he was referring to was fighting. He did know it was the nature of Blue-Blooded Wolves to love fighting, but he didn’t know that they’d rise in level by fighting.

You XiaoMo asked helplessly, “Then when do you think he will come back?”

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and laughed while saying, “Wait for it to get over its excitement, then maybe it will remember your instructions.”

You XiaoMo immediately felt the blow but soon thought of something, “Since you already knew, why didn’t you say something earlier?”

“Why should I say anything?” Ling Xiao gave him an odd glance. “Your PiQiu should get some training. Isn’t the Paradise Realm the best opportunity? Furthermore, if it doesn’t train for too long, it may end up weaker than normal level eight demon beasts. Are you willing to see a mighty Blue-Blooded Wolf end up as a useless lump of meat?”

You XiaoMo thought it over for a second. A useless lump of meat. How fat would Da PiQiu end up? This type of thing was not uncommon on the 21st century Earth. Often, he would see these kinds of things on TV or on the web.

He shuddered in disgust. If PiQiu really were to end up like that, he would probably have to commit suicide out of guilt. But he was curious. How did Ling Xiao come up with that expression?

You XiaoMo stole a glance at Ling Xiao. The latter had no reaction whatsoever, only saying, “Alright. Let’s just wait for two hours.”

And so, they waited for two hours.

During that time, You XiaoMo looked out quite a few times, right until two hours later. This time, when he stretched his head out to look, he finally caught a glimpse of a beast. Except, this beast figure didn’t seem to be a white PiQiu. Rather, it was a very bloody PiQiu.

You XiaoMo ran out in shock, “PiQiu, how did you end up like this?”

PiQiu seemed to know that he was in the wrong and whimpered, turning away shamefully, not daring to look at him or get any closer.

You XiaoMo also did not dare to get closer. The bloody stench was too strong, almost causing him to faint of suffocation.

Ling Xiao walked out from behind and gazed at PiQiu delightedly. With a rather judging tone, he said, “Not bad, not bad. Your first time out and you hunted down so many. As a newbie, your performance is not bad. But it’s still a little lacking. Not only are you covered in filth, you are actually injured!”

“PiQiu is injured?” You XiaoMo cried out in alarm and immediately forgot about the bloodiness. He quickly walked over and examined him thoroughly once over. Finally, he discovered a cut behind his right hind leg.

Seeing this cut, You XiaoMo let out a gasp.

This cut was rather too big. Who knows what caused it, resulting in such a large wound. The cut was four centimeters deep. The white bone was almost visible, and fresh blood was flowing out continuously. But it would have been overlooked if not examined closely. Who asked it to be covered in blood, a moment of inattentiveness, and it would have been overlooked.

In a moment of panic, You XiaoMo wanted to put him back into the dimension.

At his side, Ling Xiao placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him, “Wait a bit, people are coming.”

Just after he said this, shrill sounds could be heard coming from afar. The sound was getting nearer and nearer. It was the sound of flying swords piercing through the sky. Clearly, a lot of people coming. A mix of furious voices could be heard.

Since You XiaoMo would soon advance to become a level four mage, his soul’s awareness was getting stronger and stronger. From far away, he could hear what the voices were saying. Most of it was ‘Where did it run to?’ ‘Quick, give chase, don’t let it run away’ and so on. Although they didn’t specify what ‘it’ is, You XiaoMo could guess that they should be referring to PiQiu.

Soon after, that group of people appeared in their field of vision one after the other.

One by one they floated down from the sky flauntingly, dressed fashionably as if afraid that others wouldn’t know that they come with powerful backing.

You XiaoMo took a closer look and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

The people in front were people he recognized. These people should be heading to the Southwest direction, Lei Ju and company. Why did they end up here?
