The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 65

Chapter 65: Black Figure Outside the Window

You XiaoMo was very absorbed when he refined magic pills so much so that he wouldn’t even realize if someone were to stand right next to him.

When Ling Xiao walked, he didn’t make a sound. But that was when no outsiders were around because in front of others, he was Lin Xiao, not Ling Xiao. But when he saw You XiaoMo using the tea table as a stone platform to refine magic pills, his lips twitched. He raised his hand and simply spreads a barrier that cuts off smells.

Although he was not a mage, he still knew that when mages refined magic pills, the magic herbs would give off a medicinal fragrance. Especially when it came to higher level magic herbs, when the magic pill was formed successfully, that medicinal fragrance would be even stronger. Furthermore, this was the Central Lineage , where high level masters were as many as there were clouds. Any slight movement would be discovered immediately. If he didn’t wake up in time from his meditation, he would have been in trouble.

Seeing that You XiaoMo didn’t realize his presence, Ling Xiao walked over to the tea table and glanced at the magic herbs. They were all high grade magic herbs, about thirty stalks. He soon thought about the magic herb garden in the dimension. It looked like the magic herbs watered with spiritual water were not quite the same.

Ling Xiao pulled out a chair and sat opposite of You XiaoMo. Thinking about it, this was the first time he saw You XiaoMo refining magic pills. Seeing that fair and clear face flushed red, Ling Xiao thought about the time they first met.

At that time, You XiaoMo was far from how he was now, able to calmly face him. It was as if from the first look, he wanted to avoid him. That was right, avoid him – but not terrified of him. This made him feel very interested , not only because he and Lin Xiao were from different divisions.

He was someone who was used to being above everyone. A “person” who was used to everyone fearing him. So, towards the person who was hell-bent on avoiding him, You XiaoMo, Ling Xiao was very intrigued. That was why he had threatened him to give up half of his soul.

Of course , that was just to scare him. The soul was an entity meant to stay intact . If one were to give up half, that would mean death.

After that, the more time he spent with him, the more he wanted to make fun of him. Looking at his furious but not daring to say a word expression delighted him to no end. Just like that, it became only natural with time …

If You XiaoMo knew what Ling Xiao was thinking in his heart, he might take the cauldron in his hands and throw it at him.

But he was already entering the last stage , so his mind was even more concentrated. So , he didn’t know that Ling Xiao had been staring at him for quite a while.

Fifteen minutes later and You XiaoMo finally succeeded in refining a Spiritual Energy magic pill. The whole room was flooded with medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy. The time he used was one third of what he used last time. The speed had increased significantly. He only needed to practice a little more and he would be able to catch up to the speed he used for low grade magic pills.

Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, You XiaoMo raised his head and jumped in fright from the enlarged face before him, “You, you, you, how come you’re awake?”

Ling Xiao glanced at the magic pill in his hand.

You XiaoMo noticed his glance and thought that since this magic pill was for him anyway, he was just about to hand it over when he saw Ling Xiao frown and look out the window. Following his gaze, he looked over … and saw absolutely nothing.

“Ling-shixiong, is there anything outside?” You XiaoMo asked curiously.

“There’s someone outside , ” Ling Xiao answered indifferently.

” Ah ?”

The magic pill in You XiaoMo’s hand almost slipped out. Terrified, he quickly used his other hand to hold it firmly and said anxiously, “There, there, there … there’s someone there ? How could there be someone, can that person find out that I’m refining magic pills? If I get found out, should I run away? But I don’t know the way. And I don’t know where to go.”

When You XiaoMo got anxious, the words would unconsciously come out non-stop.

Ling Xiao’s serious expression changed into amusement when he saw his over the top nervous behavior. How could this person be so interesting!

“With me here, what are you afraid of? I already put down a barrier a long time ago. Even if it were the Grand Master of the Tian Xin Sect himself who came over, he wouldn’t be able to see through it. What ’s more , that mouse outside has power that is only so – so. Even if he were to plaster himself to the wall and try to listen, he would only think that we had already gone to sleep.”

“Barrier? When, how come I didn’t know?” You XiaoMo calmed down but was still very curious.

“When you were refining magic pills.” Ling Xiao glared at him.

You XiaoMo let out an ‘ oh ‘, no wonder he didn’t know. At that time, he was fully concentrating on the insides of the cauldron , so it was only natural that he didn’t realize, “Who is that person outside? Why is he spying on us?”

“That person is the one who presided over the arena today, Elder Jiang. He also presided over last year’s competition. But nothing in particular happened. Elder Jiang is a very low profile person , but his relationship with the other elders is not bad. But before today, he didn’t do anything strange.”

“Then, what now?” You XiaoMo swallowed repeatedly. It was actually Elder Jiang. Thank goodness he wasn’t discovered.

“What else can we do? Of course just wait and see. Or, would you prefer that I kill him right now to avoid any future trouble?”

Ling Xiao looked at him and somewhat playfully licked the corners of his lips. It almost seemed that if You XiaoMo was to nod his head, he would immediately go and do it.

A drop of sweat rolled off You XiaoMo’s forehead, “How could I like killing people? You don’t understand. Elder Jiang is , after all , the Tian Xin Sect’s senior. It is maybe that, that’s right, it’s maybe that he was just passing by and accidentally bumped into your barrier.”

“No need to be so nervous. I wasn’t serious about killing him. This is the Tian Xin Sect , after all . Killing him would only bring trouble.” Looking at his nervous behavior, Ling Xiao couldn’t help laugh ing out loud.

You XiaoMo ignored his jab and let out a sigh of relief. He had thought it would be like that. After calming himself, he realized that he was still holding the Spiritual energy magic pill in his hand. He immediately handed it over looking for praise, “Ling-shixiong, look at this magic pill. It’s a high grade magic pill refined by me.”

Ling Xiao had long ago noticed it. Seeing him handing it over, he immediately reached out and took it. He looked and looked, sniffed and sniffed. This was really excellent, much more fragrant than the flawed low grade magic pills. Thus he impatiently threw it into his mouth.

Every time You XiaoMo saw this action, he couldn’t help feeling his heart ache. It was just too wasteful!

He had never seen such a person. Eating magic pills like eating jelly beans. Furthermore, it didn’t matter what grade of magic pills. It couldn’t be that he wasn’t afraid that eating too many magic pills would cause the spiritual energy in his body to wreak havoc, causing his meridians to go in reverse? Even as he was, he knew that eating too many magic pills was not a good thing.

After finishing the magic pill, Ling Xiao appeared unsatisfied as he looked at You XiaoMo. Such a tasty magic pill, he really wanted to have his fill.

In one glance, You XiaoMo knew that he still wanted more. Thinking of the magic pills that he refined yesterday in his magic bag, he simply took them out , saying, “This is a bottle of Breatharian magic pills. There are ten of them inside. I refined them last night. Make do with these first then .”

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao only looked at the bottle in his hand, “Why did you refine Breatharian magic pills for no reason?”

You XiaoMo rubbed his head while speaking, “The cauldron I’m currently using has a small crack on the bottom. I’m afraid that it may split open at any time so I’m planning on buying a slightly better cauldron. But I don’t have enough money, so I’m planning to refine Breatharian magic pills to sell. I’ve already asked around. High grade Breatharian magic pills are in short supply. Fifty or more pills can be sold by auction. At that time, the price should be high. These ten pills are my practice pills. If you want, you can take them. I will just refine some more.”

Ling Xiao stared at him with an expressionless face. His mouth suddenly twitched and said as if slighted, “No need. It’s the same if you give them to me tomorrow. Don’t think of sending me away with your practice pills.”

You XiaoMo pouted. He actually thought he was trying to pawn them off. Even though they were practice pills, they were still top grade magic pills. Furthermore, he had never heard him belittle his magic pills before. And those were low grade magic pills. Furthermore, at that time he was still a novice. Let alone the quality, his skills were also nothing to shout about. He really couldn’t understand what he was actually thinking!

But since he already said he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t insist and ask to be snubbed. His refusal also suited him just fine!

Thinking like that, You XiaoMo simply put the magic pills back into his magic bag and started on the second magic pill.

Due to the presence of Ling Xiao’s barrier, You XiaoMo was more at ease this time. He once again neglected Ling Xiao’s existence and started refining magic pills as if there were no one beside him.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, Ling Xiao didn’t feel the least bit angry. He sat back on the chair and looked at him with an even more complicated expression than before. Just before, when he heard You XiaoMo saying those words, he felt irritated and displeased. Soon after an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

It must be known that he was someone that could be said to be even more heartless than demons!

Even so, Ling Xiao didn’t feel disgust. This ‘inexplicable feeling’ for the first time was not something he especially detested. It looked like from the time he started to get together with You XiaoMo, he had become more and more ‘kind hearted’!

If You XiaoMo knew what he was thinking in his heart, he would definitely ridicule him silently in his heart. What a shameless man!

Even though they had not known each other for long, from the time Ling Xiao conveniently wiped out the original Lin Xiao, You XiaoMo had known that he couldn’t be a good person.

This point, You XiaoMo really took it as the truth!
