The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 4

Chapter 4: Da Shixiong and Xiao Shimei

The Tian Xin Sect ‘s library was like a sea that accepted a hundred rivers. The East and West Pavilion held more than ten thousand books on the first floor alone. The way the books were displayed were like what You XiaoMo expected. Tens upon hundreds of bookshelves with all sorts of books separated by category, with clear signs.

You XiaoMo sighed heavily and shook his head. Perhaps it was because the history of the Long Xiang Continent was too long, so he walked past several bookshelves divided by widely ranging time periods. Some were from ten thousand years ago, whereas some were from five thousand years ago … You XiaoMo had no interest in the Long Xiang Continent’s history from long ago. What he needed to understand was the Long Xiang Continent of today.

Walking to the last bookshelf, You XiaoMo finally caught sight of a label at the top of the shelf: Geography of the Long Xiang Continent!

Standing on tiptoe , You XiaoMo reached up for a book when suddenly his outstretched hand hit something. A sudden electric shock caused him to immediately retract his hand, crying out in alarm. This unexpected event scared him half to death because it was so supernatural . Calming down, he reminded himself that he was now in the dimension of the Long Xiang Continent, so he must adapt to these strange occurrences if he was to survive here. Thinking further, You XiaoMo took out the seal-like object from his chest pocket. The very thing that was thrown at him by the old man guarding the library.

The clueless You Xiao Mo could only raise the seal to the bookshelf. In the end, it looked like he had guessed right. The dark black seal gave out a sudden flash of light, followed by a shift in the atmosphere. The seal pushed towards both sides of the bookshelf, raising a few ripples. You XiaoMo tentatively tapped the area a few times and after not feeling the electric shock, realized that he had succeeded. Quickly, You XiaoMo took down a book from the bookshelf, and then brought down several books as fast as he was able. He tried to grab mostly basic knowledge of the Long Xiang Continent, bringing them down with him to take a look.

You XiaoMo found a little corner and sat down, picking up the top-most book. Just when he was about to digest the contents, a taunting laugh came from above his head. You XiaoMo quickly looked up to see a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on a roof beam. Seeing You XiaoMo look up at him, he grinned and leaped down, looking at You XiaoMo with scrutiny and mockery. Obviously he had seen all of You XiaoMo’s actions from above.

He clicked his tongue, ” Really, where did this country bumpkin come from.”

The young man circled around him, talking and showing extreme disdain. You XiaoMo blinked but still felt that what he said was not without reason. The him now was just like a village folk entering a big city. Who would have guessed that seeing the lack of reaction from You XiaoMo, the young man actually became displeased.

“Country Bumpkin, if you want to read, get away from here. By blocking the passageway to the second floor, don’t tell me you’re hoping to get close to Da Shixiong and Xiao Shimei. Let me tell you, you are unworthy no matter what.”

You XiaoMo stayed silent for a moment before getting up and brushing the dirt off his butt. He went off obediently to find another spot. Seeing him act so sensibly, the young man lost interest, and left with a grunt. Seeing him leave, You XiaoMo heaved a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that just coming to the library to look for books would result in him meeting someone that loved to pick fights for nothing. He had never heard of Da Shixiong or Xiao Shimei, let alone trying to get close to them.

But he never imagined that the random corner he chose would actually be the passageway to the second floor. This library really had an ingenious architecture, not showing even a hint of the stairway. After uttering a few curses, You XiaoMo finally calmed down and started to read his books.

Soon he discovered that the Long Xiang Continent was an extremely vast land, several hundred and thousand times bigger than the Earth of his previous existence. Furthermore, it was a continuous piece, but it appeared to be more primitive compared to Earth. Continuous uninterrupted mountain ranges, forests as far as the eye could see.

Most importantly this dimension was devoid of science and technology. What it had were God defying practitioners. According to the historical records, the Long Xiang Continent was not the only land in this dimension. For example, across the endless seas, there was another world, and even in the outer void, there were many other places. However, these books only contained a few paltry sentences on those places, with no further descriptions.

After two hours, You XiaoMo was more or less finished with the books, having a rough idea of the Long Xiang Continent. After returning the books, You XiaoMo stretched his stiff back. Just when he was about to leave, he felt a slight vibration from behind. Turning around, he saw two figures appearing out of thin air from the first corner where he was sitting. A male and a female, presumably the Da Shixiong and Shimei that the young man was talking about.

Da Shixiong had a handsome appearance with chiseled features, giving off a look of maturity, stability and confidence at a glance. His somewhat cold and thin lips were lightly pressed together. Without looking left or right he headed straight out of the library. The celestial looking Shimei lightly stamped her foot and chased after him, both seemingly unaware of You XiaoMo’s existence.

After coming out of the building, You XiaoMo took note of the color of the sky. Feeling that it was still early, he headed to the East Pavilion. Due to the fact that there were too many things he wanted to read, You XiaoMo decided to take the books back to his room. Two books on medicinal herbs and the other two on medical formulas, each of the most basic level.
