675 : The Last Match

Chapter 675

The Last Match
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

When You XiaoMo and Qiao WuXing arrived at the Mage Association, Ling Xiao had yet to return, but their room had been prepared already. The three of them chatted in the room about the possible contents of the future rounds, for around an hour before leaving.

Waiting for Ling Xiao, he sat on the bed, meditating. When the sky outside grew dark, he couldn’t help but yawn. Ling Xiao still wasn’t back. You XiaoMo couldn’t resist the allure of sleep, falling back onto the soft quilt, into sleep.

Midnight, the tightly shut door suddenly opened by a sliver, and a dark shadow silently approached the bed. Looking down on the person there, a hand reached out towards him, mere centimeters away from contact.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the shadow’s wrist and a rush of wind brushed past his ear, a leg raised, aimed right for his head. Moments from impact, the shadow gripped his wrist and tugged harshly, instantly negating You XiaoMo’s attack. You XiaoMo fell against the other, his nose slamming against a hard chest.

You XiaoMo cupped his reddened nose, tears filling his eyes as he looked at the other accusingly.

Ling Xiao pulled the other onto his own body and patted his cheek comfortingly, smiling. “You’re a grown man, how can you cry just because of something like this? If someone else sees, they’ll definitely laugh at you.”

“And who’s fault is it?!” You XiaoMo scowled when the other refused to admit his wrongs and instead accused him back.

Ling Xiao shrugged, saying without care, “You suddenly attacked me. I acted in self defense.”

Self-defense your ass!

You XiaoMo’s entire face was puffed up in anger, “You returned in the middle of the night. I didn’t know if you were a thief or something. I couldn’t just sit there and do nothing. I acted in self-defense, too!”

He sounded righteous, but actually he was being rather shameless. After all, what idiot thief would sneak into the Mage Association? They would be caught by the guards before they even got close.

Ling Xiao very wisely didn’t point this out, otherwise You XiaoMo would definitely get mad again. “Alright, it’s my fault. I, your husband, apologize. Forgive me, my dear wife.”

You XiaoMo was stunned by his serious tone of voice. He had seen too much of Ling Xiao’s shamelessness, so he really didn’t know how to react upon seeing Ling Xiao so sincerely admitting to his own mistakes.

The two returned to the bed, You XiaoMo lying down on the other’s chest, his legs around Ling Xiao’s waist as he drew circles with his finger on Ling Xiao’s chest.

Just as the room sunk into silence, Ling Xiao suddenly spoke up, “How did today’s match go?”

It was then that You XiaoMo remembered that he hadn’t asked Ling Xiao about today yet. He summarized the contents of the match today and the priest’s head they had found after leaving the plaza.

“Has the TongTian Emperor still not been caught?”

Ling Xiao patted the side of his head, bored, and replied, “He’s being very careful, only sending out that priest, but keeping himself well-hidden. However, he’s lost many people, so he won’t be able to do much.”

“However, he’ll always be a worry so long as he’s still out there,” You XiaoMo said. It was always like that in shows. After the final boss escaped, he’ll always cause trouble for the hero at the worse times, possibly even endangering the hero’s life. Though they didn’t live in a tv show, it was still a possibility.
