The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 30

Chapter 30: I Ate It

You XiaoMo felt someone supporting him. He only managed to catch a glimpse of Ling Xiao before losing consciousness.

Soul force overuse? One look and Ling Xiao could see that there was a problem with You XiaoMo’s condition. He frowned , because he was not that well – versed with mages and their practices. But , he knew that usually a mage was able to tell how much soul force he had left when refining magic pills. So, most mages, when they felt their soul force running low, they would stop refining magic pills and take the appropriate amount of rest before starting again. If not, they could incur some sort of after effect s uch as exhausting their soul force and being unable to recover for some time. Or being extremely fatigued, unable to move for a few days, and things like that.

And here, You XiaoMo actually overused his soul force while refining magic pills. Ling Xiao didn’t get it , yet he still lifted him up. Unexpectedly, this young boy was lighter than he imagined. After placing him on the bed, Ling Xiao’s eyes fell on the magic pill firmly grasped in his hand. Was this that magic pill?

Ling Xiao pried open his fingers one by one and took the magic pill – o nly to find a pretty common – looki ng l e vel one magic pill. The spiritual energy it contained still could not compare to the place where he used to live.

But this level one magic pill was quite different from the one s he ate the day before. It was as if the energy contained inside was even more pure, even more concentrated. Most importantly , the impurities were in a much less er amount, compared to the ones from the other day , which amazed him. It looked like this convenient Xiao Shidi could really give him a pleasant surprise!

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, conveniently tossing the magic pill into his mouth. After a few chews, he then swallowed it straight into his stomach. Just like that, the magic pill that You XiaoMo risked his life for, overusing his soul force, was simply eaten and gone!

Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao felt that this was the best magic pill he had ever eaten. Although the amount of energy contained in the magic pill was not much, it was especially pure. Spreading out from his throat through his four limbs, it had been a long time since he experienced this weightless feeling throughout his whole body.

After finishing the magic pill, Ling Xiao walked towards the wooden table. Three bottles and bits of magic herbs were scattered on the simple and crude table. Each bottle held several magic pills. In a sweeping glance he saw that they held from ten to fifty magic pills. After tasting each one, he couldn’t help rais ing his brows. They all tasted different ly; furthermore, none of them were as good as that one he ate.

A vague expression flashed across his face, then he switched his attention to You XiaoMo , who was still passed out on the bed.

A thin and weak body; a slender neck. He only needed to exert a little force to make him disappear from this world. But this young boy, so weak that he was almost not worth mentioning, could actually refine magic pills that perfectly suited his taste. This phenomenon had not happened before, not even with many high level mages. One couldn’t deny that his interest in him was getting stronger and stronger.

“Considering your contribution in the matter of refining magic pills, I’ll give you a helping hand.”

Ling Xiao bent over and from behind it looked as if his whole body was pressed onto You XiaoMo. He gripped his lower jaw with one hand and gave him a breath of air. That breath of air seemed to have a magical effect. You XiaoMo’s eyes that were originally shut tightly suddenly started to move. After ten breaths his eyes slowly opened. What filled his field of vision was a very handsome magnified face making him jump up in fright.

A shudder ran through his whole body and he tried hard to bury his head under his pillow, “You, you, yo…what do you want?”

Seeing him in such a frightened state, Ling Xiao’s lips curved up suddenly, “You fainted, so I gave you a breath.”

“Gave me a breath?” You XiaoMo suddenly raised his voice, his eyes bulging in disbelief. He then covered his own lips like someone who had just been taken advantage of, looking at the gleeful Ling Xiao.

“What kind of reaction is this?” Ling Xiao asked .

You XiaoMo lowered his eyes and said resentfully, “No … nothing.”

Liar . Ling Xiao could obviously read the ‘you’re bullying me’ accusation on his face, “Xiao Shidi, good children don’t tell lies.”

I am not a child!

You XiaoMo pouted and asked after some hesitation, “Lin g -shixiong, you … how did you give me, uh, give me a breath?”

After saying this, before Ling Xiao could explain, he already started to blush. He really didn’t want to have crooked thoughts, but those words really made one think that way.

Ling Xiao stared at his face, causing You XiaoMo to get redder and redder, almost to the point of hyperemia. Only then did his lips start to curve upwards slightly, saying softly, “Of course it was mouth to mouth!”

As if being struck by lightning under a clear sky, You XiaoMo was dumbstruck. Inside his head, those three words ‘mouth to mouth’ reverberate. Wah wah, his first kiss was gone, just like that! What’s more, it was with a man!

Ling Xiao got more and more intrigued by his expression. This was the first time he had seen someone with so much expression in his face.

Even though he found it very amusing, Ling Xiao didn’t forget to get to the important matter, resuming, “Xiao Shidi, did your shixiong not tell you about the dangers of overusing your soul force?”

“Ah?” You XiaoMo looked both resentful and flustered, just lacking two streams of tears down his face.

Ling Xiao straightened his body and sat down by his side, explaining, “The reason why you fainted just now was because you overused your soul force. Don’t tell me you don’t realize that?”

Hearing those words, You XiaoMo jumped up and cried in alarm, “That’s right, my magic pill!”

Saying this, he got off the bed and rushed over to find the magic pill. Ling Xiao didn’t touch the few bottles of magic pills on the table. Although he did take one each , You XiaoMo didn’t notice because the one he was looking for was not in one of those. He was searching for the very last magic pill that he refined. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find it.

You XiaoMo thought back. He remembered that before he fell, that magic pill seemed… seemed to be firmly grasped in his hand? As if from a psychic connection, You XiaoMo turned around and immediately crashed into those smiling eyes of Ling Xiao, tinged with mischief and hidden meaning.

This type of expression was the one that You XiaoMo loathed the most. Since during that night in He Ping town, that was the exact expression Ling Xiao had when he finished off several bottles of magic pills.

Seeing him turn his head around , especially with that look of suspicion, Ling Xiao laughed and said wickedly, “If you are looking for that magic pill, I’m sorry to say, I ate it.” Saying this, he licked his lower lip, as if savoring the aftertaste!

You XiaoMo warned himself, I must endure!
