The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 184
Chapter 184: Fated
This really was a reversal of the wheel of fortune!
A second before, Tang YunQi still confidently thought that she could dictate the life or death of You XiaoMo with one word. Her words and demeanor disgusted everyone on the scene, beast or man. As a result, a second later, the appearance of SheQiu turned the situation around. The person at a disadvantage was now herself.
Towards Tang YunQi who always thought of herself above the whole world, this blow was too much for her to take. Not a single word came out of her for some time, turning the surroundings extremely quiet.
You XiaoMo sighed, “Told you to run and yet you refused to run.”
The corner of SheQiu’s eye twitched, “Master, these kinds of words don’t suit you.”
You XiaoMo blinked, “Is that so? Then what kind of words suit me?”
SheQiu said, “There are no words that suit you. It’s best that you shut up and watch the show.”
You XiaoMo said, “SheQiu, why are you just like Ling-shixiong, so hateful?”
SheQiu answered happily, “I’m very honored to be just like Boss!”
You XiaoMo, “…”
This fellow was beyond saving. What was so good about that guy? So many people to learn from, and he just had to learn from Ling Xiao!
SheQiu pointed at Tang YunQi and asked, “Master, how do you want to handle her?”
You XiaoMo suddenly remembered that this girl was still here. He immediately put on an expression of careful consideration. As it was, his dimension was not exposed. To kill or not to kill her. It was really a dilemma!
After panicking for a bit, Tang YunQi finally calmed down.
Seeing You XiaoMo’s pensive expression, Tang YunQi raised her chin and snorted coldly, speaking decisively, “You XiaoMo, I think you don’t dare to kill me. If my dad found out, you would die without a place for burial. My dad won’t let you off. I urge you, it’s best to let me go.”
Young miss, these words are rather too offensive? Right now, the advantage is clearly in my hands. And yet this chick is still not terrified. Still acting ‘I deign to give you a chance to correct your mistakes’, damn, who wants your mercy, ah!
Hearing these words, even he, such a benign and benevolent person couldn’t help feeling the faint bubbling of anger.
You XiaoMo looked toward SheQiu, “You say… if… will people find out?”
SheQiu really wanted to copy Xiao Hei and roll his eyes at him but he was a noble and refined high level demon beast, “Even if someone finds out, I can kill them before they have a chance to tell anyone.”
You XiaoMo exclaimed, “You know what I’m saying?”
SheQiu finally couldn’t help rolling his eyes at him, “What you want to say is written on your face.”
You XiaoMo rubbed his cheeks, was he that obvious?
SheQiu asked again, “So, tell me clearly what your decision is.”
Although he really wanted to kill Tang YunQi, to be a respectable demon beast, he still very much valued his master’s wishes.
You XiaoMo tilted his head and glanced at Tang YunQi, “Then… act as you see fit.”
Tang YunQi’s expression which was brimming with confidence slipped instantly. You XiaoMo, who in her heart had no way of hurting a hair on her head, right now actually tacitly agreed to let his demon beast kill her?
This couldn’t be. Finally, terrified, Tang YunQi stumbled back a few steps. She was the young miss of the Tian Xin Sect. The one who was above everyone else. Her father was the Grand Master. Her future was limitless. How could she die here?
“You…” Tang YunQi wanted to start ranting but she could only say one word. The rest of the words will never be said, as something happened in an instant, and a bright red tongue fell to her feet.
She wiped the bright red blood that was pouring out continuously from her mouth. Only crying sounds were coming out of her mouth. She felt a piercing pain coming from her cut off tongue, almost making her want to pass out dead on the spot. But not only did she not pass out dead, she also saw very clearly that her tongue was at her feet.
Tang YunQi’s eyes popped out and she almost fell apart. Her tongue had been cut off? She could never speak again?
You XiaoMo shuddered and covered his own mouth reflexively. SheQiu really did what he said. He had just nodded, and he had passed like thunder and moved like wind to cut off Tang YunQi’s tongue, and it even seemed to be the whole tongue…
SheQiu flicked off the blood on his fingernail and glanced indifferently at the completely horrified Tang YunQi, “Finally know how to be terrified, huh, woman? It’s a pity it’s too late. You will pay for your stupidity and the price is death!”
Tang YunQi felt a deep regret. She never expected that she would die.
SheQiu seemed to understand her expression, saying in a sweet voice dripping with poison, laughing, “Actually, you should thank me, because the person killing you is me, and not Boss Ling Xiao. Because… if you had him kill you with his own hands, you would die a much worse death.”
Tang YunQi shook her head furiously. Impossible. Xiao-ge would never kill her!
SheQiu laughed while looking at her eyes and said in a low voice, “Do you want to know why? It’s actually very simple. Because your most beloved Xiao-ge died a long time ago. The one you’re pestering every day and every night is an impostor.”
Tang YunQi’s pupils shrank and shrank. If she could still talk, she would wail and shriek until the end of time denying SheQiu’s words. But as it was, she could no longer speak. Instead her mind very clearly thought back to Xiao-ge’s recent abnormal behavior. If it were really like what he said, wouldn’t all the doubts she had been having these days be resolved just like bamboo meeting the edge of a knife?
But she had no way of believing the fact that her most beloved Xiao-ge was dead. Xiao-ge was so formidable. How could he die? Filled with doubt and regret, Tang YunQi’s heart was dug out by SheQiu.
Opposite of them, You XiaoMo couldn’t take it anymore and turned away. He was realizing that each one at his side were all princes of violence and gore. If it was not intestines and brains, it was hearts and other organs. Can they not leave an intact corpse?
SheQiu turned his head and saw You XiaoMo, who had turned away, and was not surprised by his what was unseen was deemed clean behavior.
Rather, he had expected that You XiaoMo would not have dared to watch the whole process. Of course, he didn’t consider himself violent and bloodthirsty.
After finishing off Tang YunQi, SheQiu then shifted his attention to the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox who was silently standing by the whole time watching its master getting killed. From its reaction, he could tell that Tang YunQi was a very selfish woman.
The descendant who possessed the bloodline of the ancient nine-tailed demon fox. An unbelievable fortune and she only formed an ordinary bond. And cursing it a worthless thing every time she opened her mouth. No wonder the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox would rather suffer the retribution from the bond and ignore her impending death. Now that the woman was dead, it had regained its freedom.
“Do you have any interest in following my master and boss?” Under the guarded eyes of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox, SheQiu issued an invitation suddenly.
At this time, it was not only the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox who was in shock, even You XiaoMo turned around and looked at them in surprise.
After a moment of silence, the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox asked, “Why?”
Why were you, a distinguished high-level demon beast, willing to follow a very weak mage who wasn’t even capable of defending himself? It did not understand.
SheQiu was all smiles, “I can’t explain it to you now, but I can promise you that you will definitely not regret it.”
After saying these words, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
The drooping eyes of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox widened in an instant as it tried to hold back an impulse to speak before transmitting its voice, “Is what you said true?”
SheQiu nodded, “I swear on my name as a Nine-Winged Unity Serpent that not one word is false.”
“Alright, I agree!” the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox accepted readily.
In You XiaoMo’s eyes, they only exchanged three sentences. Two sentences from SheQiu, one sentence from the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox. And then the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox suddenly accepted SheQiu’s invitation. Strange, simply bizarre to the extreme!
The most hateful thing was, they simply didn’t discuss this with him, the master of the bond, deciding among themselves this matter of following along.
You XiaoMo objected resentfully, “SheQiu, do you not think you should ask for my approval first?”
SheQiu looked at him with an apologetic expression which was clearly faked, “Sorry, I almost forgot about you. So, master, your opinion?”
You XiaoMo gritted his teeth, what ‘almost forgot about you’? Too hateful!
The Seven-Tailed Demon Fox walked up to You XiaoMo and lowered its noble head. It asked humbly, “Please, you must accept me. It doesn’t matter even if it’s an ordinary bond. I’m willing.”
This word, willing, was not something that could be uttered carelessly. Although it looked as if it had been taken in by SheQiu’s words, it really had considered it carefully.
It could see from the Nine-Winged Unity Serpent that his bonded master was someone who was completely without arrogance. Completely different from that Tang YunQi woman. Although it was the same ordinary bond, the attitude was as different as Heaven and Earth. This kind of master, and on top of that, the benefits that SheQiu mentioned, it was willing despite being in an ordinary bond.
With someone so sincere, if he were to refuse, wouldn’t that be too hard-hearted?
In the end, You XiaoMo nodded and agreed, “Since you are preparing to join my Qiu team, I might as well pick a name for you. The fur on your body is very thick, how about we call you MaoQiu.” (fur ball)
The Seven-Tailed Demon Fox stared wordlessly. After a moment of silence, it looked back at SheQiu, ‘can I change my mind?’
SheQiu coughed, ‘sorry, no can do, once a master had been put up for sale, absolutely no returns or exchanges!’
Seven-Tailed Demon Fox, “…”
In the end, it still accepted. Compared to SheQiu, it felt that MaoQiu was already a lot better. Luckily it wasn’t called HuQiu. (FoxBall) Otherwise, it would have turned into a HuQiu. (Fur Coat)
After confirming the new member, one man and two beasts simply left the scene of the crime.
Right now, everyone was separated because of the collapse of Demon Peak. But after recovering, sooner or later, the search would reach this place. The discovery of Tang YunQi was only a matter of time.
At first, You XiaoMo wanted to let the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox bond with Fifth Shixiong. But, remembering that Lei Ju and rest knew that Tang YunQi’s bonded demon beast was a Seven-Tailed Demon Fox, if they recognized it, it would bring trouble to Fifth Shixiong. Therefore, he dispelled the notion.
Coincidentally, Ling Xiao took in a newborn Six-Winged Divine Tiger not long before this. Although it would have to be nurtured while it was still young, the potential of the Six-Winged Divine Tiger was tremendous. Furthermore, nurturing it from youth might help form a closer understanding.
At this same moment, a matter of hard-selling was taking place where Fang ChenYue and Fu ZiLin were located.
Due to the collapse of Demon Peak, the Dead Soul Beast couldn’t find Fu ZiLin in the quickest time. Luckily Ling Xiao had told him that Fang ChenYue’s bonded demon beast was a Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon.
To dodge the collapse of the mountain, Fang ChenYue had no choice but to allow the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon to assume its original form. It was just that, unexpectedly, they were located right on the spot where the mountain split open. Although the Poisonous Tail Flood Dragon was a level eight demon beast, it was only at level seven. To protect Fang ChenYue and Second Shixiong, they were almost flattened. Luckily, its body was big enough to attract attention, and was seen by the Dead Soul Beast who happened to search in the area. Otherwise, the two men and one beast would have fallen into the crevasse.
But here was where the problem began. The soul beast wanted to bond with Fu ZiLin, but Fu ZiLin was cautious by habit. He did not believe that he would run over here to bond with him with no rhyme or reason. It simply didn’t make any sense.
Although the Dead Soul Beast was their savior, he was not going to make light of his future just because of a little indebtedness.
“Just tell me, what would it take for you to be willing to bond with this old one?” the Dead Soul Beast asked woefully.
“Why must you bond with me?” Fu ZiLin asked expressionlessly.
“This old me… this old me loathes too much freedom, so I want to find a bonded master, is that not allowed?” The Dead Soul Beast’s face was distorted as he forced out a ridiculous reason. Dammit, who would complain of too much freedom, he really hated that he did not have enough freedom!
Fu ZiLin was not fooled, “Since it’s like that, it doesn’t have to be me. Anyone would do.”
The Dead Soul Beast was never good-tempered to begin with. He had already presented himself to the doorstep and yet he was actually facing a decline with all sorts of excuses situation, so he flipped out on the spot, “Mother! This old one took a liking to you, so what about it? This old one wants to bond with you, so what about it? This old one is not that patient, so out with it, are you willing to bond with this old one or not?”
Fu ZiLin, “…”
Fang ChenYue, “…”
In the end, they formed the bond, but only an ordinary bond for now, because Fu ZiLin said that he didn’t trust him right now, so he wanted to evaluate his performance. If there was really no problem, it would be changed to a life bond in the future.
The Dead Soul Beast gnashed his teeth while forming the bond with him in tears. If there was a ranking for losers in this world, he would rank at the top!
