The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 49
Chapter 49: Take Off Your Clothes
You XiaoMo explained how he discovered the blue teardrop in full detail. After all, his biggest secret was already laid out in front of Ling Xiao. It didn’t matter whether he told him or not so he might as well tell him everything from beginning to end.
Actually, the process was not at all complicated , since he himself didn’t know how the blue teardrop appeared on his chest. He was even more clueless on the magical nature of the lake water. So , he finished the explanation in just a few words. After speaking, You XiaoMo secretly observed Ling Xiao’s face. There was no change at all…
“You mean that blue teardrop appeared when you were taking a bath? Then it didn’t appear when you were taking a bath before?”
The great Ling Xiao was not so easily fooled. Right away he zeroed in on You XiaoMo’s weak point. This question, even he himself didn’t know the answer. Actually, You XiaoMo himself was not sure if the blue teardrop on his chest appeared when he was taking a bath, because at that time, he had just come to this world, so everything was a blur. After all, it was not as if he would have immediately taken off his clothes for no particular reason to see if had any birthmarks or such things on his chest. So there were two possibilities. The first was that the blue teardrop already existed on the original You XiaoMo before he died , and the second was that it only appeared after he transported over.
But, the transportation of his soul was You XiaoMo’s biggest secret. He could let Ling Xiao know about the blue teardrop , but this , he couldn’t tell. The reason why was that he and Ling Xiao had not reached the level of closeness for him to share such an important secret with him.
“I also don’t know what the deal is. I just know that it suddenly appeared that day. It may not have anything to do with taking a bath.” You XiaoMo had a certain characteristic. If he didn’t want to say something, even if one beat him to death, he still wouldn’t say it. He also wouldn’t say it clearly to avoid selling himself out, so he would frequently give ambiguous alternatives. Once one get to know him more, one would discover this habit.
But Ling Xiao had not known him for long and he also believed that You XiaoMo wouldn’t dare to lie to him so he believed his words.
“Come here.”Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and beckoned him with his finger.
You XiaoMo hesitated for a moment before walking apprehensively over to him. Since he felt guilty, he didn’t dare to look directly at Ling Xiao.
“Take off your clothes.” Ling Xiao simply ordered him when he walked up to him.
” Ah ? Take off my clothes?” You XiaoMo reflexively gripped the front of his collar, looking at Ling Xiao in terror.
“Xiao Shidi, do you not understand what I’m saying , or do you want me to help you take it off?” Ling Xiao thought that he was playing dumb, his tone was a little displeased. It didn’t cross his mind that there would be a problem between males.
You XiaoMo shivered and considered between he himself taking it off or letting Ling Xiao help him take it off. He finally chose the former. The clothes on his body were still one of the sets he had before , made of a very simple and ordinary material. Since the weather was not cold, he didn’t have much on. No matter how much he dawdled, it still didn’t take much time before he took off his shirt. The small and thin body was clear and fair. Washed by the spiritual water, it became even more sparkling and translucent. His flesh was smooth and glistening , even smooth er and more tender than that of a newborn baby. Maybe because he felt a little embarrassed, a pink flush started to spread across You XiaoMo’s upper body making everything above his neck turn bright red .
Ling Xiao didn’t notice his awkwardness. He was completely absorbed by the blue teardrop on his chest. The radiance of the blue teardrop was even more brilliant than what You XiaoMo observed before, extremely fascinating. If one stared directly at it, it would seem as if one had entered a dreamlike fantasy world. But this did not apply to Ling Xiao because after staring at it for quite a while, there was still no change in his expression.
“Ling-shixiong, is there anything wrong with this teardrop?” You XiaoMo asked with a red face.
Letting a man stare at one’s chest, even though either side didn’t have any particular intentions, it would still make one feel uncomfortable, especially for the thin-skinned You XiaoMo.
Ling Xiao raised his head and glanced at him. His ambiguous gaze roamed over his fair and clear body. He then said lightly, “It’s a very peculiar dimension. Someone must have left it intentionally on your body, only to be opened when the proper time came.”
“Who could it have been?” You XiaoMo exclaimed in astonishment.
If the person had evil intentions, wouldn’t this teardrop be a predetermined time-bomb?
“No matter who it was, for that person to put such a valuable thing inside your body, it wouldn’t make sense if it were not someone close to you. There are benefits , but there are also corresponding dangers.” Ling Xiao seemed to know immediately what he was thinking of.
“What are the dangers?” You XiaoMo frowned with a sad face. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Ling Xiao leaned over to him, smiling slightly, “Think about it yourself. If people find out that you have such an unfair advantage ; not only can it be used to grow magic herbs, it can also expedite their growth . W hen that happens, how many of them will go crazy over it? Even for the number one large sect, the Tian Xin Sect, they would probably take it away forcibly for themselves and kill you off to silence you!”
The last part was said extremely sweetly. You XiaoMo could actually feel an invisible hand squeezing his neck.
He cried out in dismay, “Then what should I do? Ling-shixiong, *sob* , I don’t want to die.”
Ling Xiao snorted and roared in laughter while looking up to the sky.
