The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 26

Chapter 26: Unfair Conditions

You XiaoMo had only met Lin Xiao a few times, but he had never seen him smile. Even when he was with the Shimei or with Mo Gu-shishu, he never smiled. Not to mention the gentle way he spoke to him. This was the first giveaway.

The second giveaway was the words he had used. If he was the real Lin Xiao, he would know that he would not be together with Mo Gu-shishu. They had already parted ways that morning when they had arrived in He Ping town. If they were together, it would only happen the next morning. This only means the ‘Lin Xiao’ in front of him was not the one he had seen before.

This man had clearly admitted that he was Lin Xiao. Furthermore, his face was exactly like that of Lin Xiao, the only difference was with his clothes. The Lin Xiao in the morning had been wearing a black robe, where as now he was in a white robe. Not only had the clothes changed, the demeanor and aura also felt like it was a completely different person.

You XiaoMo didn’t even care if the Lin Xiao in front of him was an impostor. The only thing he knew was that the white-robed Lin Xiao gave off a more dangerous vibe than the black-robed Lin Xiao.

You XiaoMo stammered, “Li.. Lin-shixiong, I still have things to do so I’ll be off. See you later!”

Saying this, he turned around to leave, pretending that he didn’t see that ‘Lin Xiao’ had something he wanted to say. As a result, before he could even take two steps, You XiaoMo felt a hand wrap around his neck as his breath was cut short, leaving him unable to breathe. Soon after he was lifted off his feet, soaring into the air and twirling around before coming face to face with ‘Lin Xiao’, their noses less than five centimeters apart.

A completely terrified You XiaoMo stared at the handsome face right in front of him. “Li… Li… Lin-shixiong?”

Ling Xiao didn’t speak, but smiled slightly and headed back into room closing the door with a light sound with his hands still around You XiaoMo. Only when it was just the two of them, did he set You XiaoMo down.

Gaining his freedom, You XiaoMo immediately scooted away from Ling Xiao. This action only made it so Ling Xiao could confirm his intention. Dialing up the intensity, his smiling face dripped with sweetness, becoming even more elitist and overbearing. Just like that of a bloodthirsty gentleman. That was exactly right! A bloodthirsty gentleman!

You XiaoMo realized for the first time that someone could actually be described as a bloodthirsty gentleman. Quite simply, it was a marvelous combination. If he were just a bystander, he would probably find it wondrous. But now that he was the one right in the center of it, he didn’t feel one bit of excitement. He would rather not have this opportunity.

“Great warrior, I don’t know anything. I didn’t see anything. For real!” You XiaoMo had his hands over his head, trembling while speaking those words. He then stared both expectantly and with terror at that man, as if he was waiting for him to let him off in a big show of mercy.

With his lips curved, Ling Xiao pressured him into a corner, his eyes filled with interest as they fixed on You XiaoMo, “Oh, what is it that you know? And what is it that you saw?”

You XiaoMo froze as he felt a huge urge to give himself a tight slap again. Don’t tell me that this man did not realize that he had already seen through him pretending to be Lin Xiao? To think that he had actually dug a hole for himself. No matter what the reality was, he felt that today was an extremely unlucky day.

“I … I … I know you are not Lin Xiao Da Shixiong.” You XiaoMo’s face was completely red from the pressure.

Ling Xiao looked at his helpless expression that was reminiscent of a lost and adorably, pitiful, small white rabbit. He couldn’t help feeling a little delighted as all signs of anger disappear ed.

After a while, You XiaoMo heard a voice coming from above his head. “Since you have seen through my disguise, I have no choice. Let’s see, how should I dispose of you? Should I kill you, or boil you, or fry you?”

You XiaoMo immediately made a (-_-”) face. Was there any difference between those three choices?

“All of them are un acceptable . I don’t want to die.” You XiaoMo said in a small voice with a sad face. It hadn’t even been ten days since he came to this world. If he were to die yet again, who knew if he would end up in hell or just vanish in a puff of smoke. That was too terrifying!

“Then what should I do? After all, you know my secret.” Ling Xiao pretended to be in a difficult position while he was saying this.

You XiaoMo’s eyelids twitched and he immediately raised his hand swearing, “I promise you, I won’t tell anyone about you pretending to be Lin-shixiong. If I do, may heaven strike me dead and shatter my soul, uh, forever doomed to remain a low level mage. Is this good enough?” He cautiously asked the last question.

“You are a mage?” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, his handsome face suddenly showing a hint of defiance. Just like his elitist and overbearing expression before, not even a tiny hint of unease was visible. You XiaoMo nodded and then looked at him expectantly. Ling Xiao replied indifferently, “If that’s the case, then go ahead and refine a magic pill for me.”

“That, I didn’t bring my cauldron…” You XiaoMo couldn’t figure out what he was planning, but seeing him raise his eyebrows, he immediately added, “But I have ready made ones. I have some in my magic bag. They are the magic pills I refined yesterday.”

“You mean this magic bag?” Ling Xiao raised his hand which amazingly gripped a bag that didn’t seem to suit him. It was none other than You XiaoMo’s magic bag.

You XiaoMo reflexively felt the area around his waist where his magic bag used to be. He couldn’t help but be stunned. When had he taken it? He didn’t even feel anything.

Ling Xiao took out everything from the magic bag, which included four small bottles that emanated a slight medicinal scent. You XiaoMo saw him open one of the bottles and pour out a light blue Accumulate Energy magic pill, one of the low risk ones. Under You XiaoMo’s astonished gaze, he tossed the Accumulate Energy magic pill into his mouth. After chewing twice, Ling Xiao raised his brows slightly. He then proceeded to pour out the remaining Accumulate Energy magic pills and swallowed them. The same went for the other three bottles as well, everything was swallowed as if he was eating sugar-roasted chestnuts.

You XiaoMo looked at him slack-jawed with bulging eyes. Didn’t he hear that magic pills couldn’t be eaten willy-nilly…

After eating all the magic pills, Ling Xiao licked his lips. He looked at You XiaoMo with an added shred of satisfaction, “I really didn’t expect that the magic pills you refined would be so delicious. Especially two of the bottles. The taste was not bad. So congratulations, I have decided not to kill you for the time being.”

You XiaoMo heard this with an alarmed heart and jumpy body, “Time… time being? Uh, no, I mean, really?”

“I may not kill you, but…” Ling Xiao threw the empty bottles and magic bag back at him, revealing a smile, “Everyday from now on, you must honor me with two hundred magic pills, specifically the magic pills in the blue bottles.”

The blue bottles were the ones that contained the magic pills with ten percent risk.

“Two… two hundred magic pills?” You XiaoMo stammered, dumbstruck by the amount. With his current ability, he had no way of refining two hundred magic pills in a day. Even if he were to put off eating and drinking, especially since the magic pills Ling Xiao wanted were the low risk ones.

Ling Xiao’s brows twitched, “What’s the matter? You want to refuse?”

In a flash, the space between You XiaoMo’s eyes felt a flash of piercingly cold pressure, almost making him unable to breathe. He quickly shook his head. After the hard struggle to spare his life, of course he was not going to refuse, “No, no, great warrior. Lin-shixiong, I just learned how to refine magic pills a few days ago. One hundred pills a day is my limit. Fur… furthermore, according to the rules of the Tian Xin Sect, I have to turn over half of the magic pills…”

Ling Xiao stared at him. According to Lin Xiao’s memory, the Tian Xin Sect did indeed have this rule. So he knew that You XiaoMo was not trying to pull a fast one, “Fifty pills, of course, if you are not willing, I don’t mind turning you into a corpse right this moment.”

But I mind! Of course You XiaoMo didn’t dare to revolt. No matter how unfair the conditions, they still couldn’t compare to his measly life, so he could only agree. Just when he heaved a sigh of relief, Ling Xiao’s indifferent voice rang out again above his head.

“But, to ensure that you will not betray me, hand over half of your soul!”
