The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 36

Chapter 36: Manuscript

You XiaoMo had originally planned to go to the library the next day, but because of what happened, he decided to go while it was getting dark. Once it got dark, usually there would be very few disciples wandering outside except for a few guards on patrol, so You XiaoMo didn’t run into anyone on his way to the library.

It was a pity but You XiaoMo didn’t find what he was looking for. A hundred billion years ago was really too long ago , since people could no longer remember it, what more of records in books. In the end, he borrowed a few illustrated magic herb handbooks and went back.

At night, You XiaoMo again took out that [Heavenly Soul Scripture] and looked it over. It was too bad he still couldn’t make any sense of it. A hundred billion years ago, who knew how much the characters had evolved. There simply wasn’t a shred of resemblance , so he could only put the book back into his dimension.

This time, You XiaoMo didn’t start to refine magic pills, instead, he had a good night’s sleep. Only when sunshine poured in from the window did he wake up in a daze. Who would expect that he would jump in fright from a magnified face in front of his eyes.

With a loud sound You XiaoMo’s forehead crashed into the other face…

It may be that Ling Xiao’s face was made out of steel because from that hard hit, a bun emerged immediately on You XiaoMo’s forehead, steaming and fragrant, as if fresh from the oven.

You XiaoMo’s whimpering cries could be heard after hitting his head. The chief culprit , on the other hand, was standing to one side laughing madly. The early morning sunshine on his body added to his bright looks. He was such a dazzling man ; if only his character wasn’t so hateful.

“Xiao Shidi, does it hurt?” Ling Xiao sat beside him on the bed asking laughingly.

You XiaoMo was unable to say anything. Once again he experienced this loathsome nature of Ling Xiao. Look at the state he’s in, how could it not hurt? Even tears were threatening to spill out. He was puzzled though, because he had clearly hit Ling Xiao’s face full on. But the other party was completely unaffected when he was in so much pain with bumps sprouting on his head.

“Your face, why is it so hard?” When the fierce pain started to subside, he couldn’t help from asking.

Ling Xiao leaned over him, a gentle smile like a warm spring breeze on his face, “You’re only a mere mortal. How can you possibly compare to me? Even though this body is only an illusion, whichever piece of my body is still tougher than your forehead.”

“Whichever piece?” Isn’t that really too boastful?

You XiaoMo made a face but he didn’t doubt his words. The more he found out about him, the more he felt that Ling Xiao was not someone anyone could understand. He always felt that this cheeky grin was only Ling Xiao’s mask. What was behind the mask, he had no idea.

“Lin g -shixiong, why are you so early today?” You XiaoMo quickly changed the topic. He no longer wished to continue with this strange topic, else he would be the only one to suffer.

“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I would find time to come see you?” Ling Xiao said as he walked over to sit at the table. His demeanor was one that was very pleased with himself. He appeared relaxed with a tinge of forced elegance.

But in You XiaoMo’s eyes, he was just being a pompous ass.

“This is still too early!” You XiaoMo grumbled in a small voice. He never expected that Ling Xiao was such a man of action.

In order not to let Ling Xiao wait too long, lest he left from impatience, You XiaoMo only took the time it took to brew half a cup of tea to wash up. When he returned to the room, there was a tea set on his table from who knew where, and Ling Xiao was calmly sipping tea.

You XiaoMo almost sputtered. The beast in human clothing could actually enjoy tea, this wildly exceeded his expectations.

Seeing him return, a book suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao’s empty hand. On the book was written the three words You XiaoMo was familiar with, translation of the [Heavenly Soul Scripture]. One look and You XiaoMo immediately pounced only to come up empty handed.

Ling Xiao looked at the You XiaoMo who almost fell flat on his face, his lips curving up into a smile, “No need to be so impatient. Let us first discuss the terms. A translated manuscript from the great me, there is only one such book in the whole Long Xiang Continent. Do you think you can send me away with a few measly magic pills?”

You XiaoMo turned into stone!
