Chapter 584: Ape Shit
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
You XiaoMo took one look and turned away. He searched through the man in black’s body but only found one magic bag and there wasn’t much in it either. Nothing to identify him whatsoever.
But, it was because of this that You XiaoMo was sure the man attacked him because there was something below the canyon. He was probably also a professional assassin, so something like them were the only ones who would hide their identity.
“Killing for goods is only something a bandit would do.” It was at this moment that a voice with a slight evilness to it appeared. Although it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, You XiaoMo knew that they were cursing him.
The reason was no other than the fact that the voice belonged to Mo Xue, the woman who wouldn’t go away. You XiaoMo took the magic bag and destroyed the body, then looked thoughtfully at Mo Xue.
Mo Xue knew that she shouldn’t provoke him but she couldn’t help it. Someone she once looked down upon was now above her. Now the one to look up became her and she couldn’t take it. Seeing that You XiaoMo looked over, she subconsciously raised her chin, in stubborn defiance.
A flash of displeasure towards Mo Xue appeared in Xie Jun’s eyes as he pulled her back, “Xue-er, don’t provoke him.”
Mo Xue could understand what Xie Jun was implying and wanted to follow his words but her usual pride kept her from lowering her head. Instead, she said, “Xie-dage, we are a group, why are we afraid of one person?”
Xie Jun carefully made sure to not show his impatience and continued, “Don’t forget he still has a comrade. Not only that, if we were to really fight him, we would pay a harsh price for i. After that, the Dong Yu Bandits would surely set their eyes on us.”
“Xie-dage, why are you arguing for them and dissing yourself. From what I can tell, his comrade isn’t even here, otherwise, they would have surely appeared by now.” Mo Xue knew that Xie Jun was right but she just didn’t want to give up so easily.
Xie Jun chuckled, but deep down he wanted to kill her. If she wasn’t still worth something, he would have left her to die a long time ago. Did she seriously think being the Guma Tribe Leader’s daughter made her invincible?
This was Dong Yu, not her tribe, her status would only scare the weaklings.
It wasn’t long after Mo Xue’s talk that Ling Xiao appeared. His slender figure appeared elegantly beside You XiaoMo, without a warning. Ling Xiao didn’t see the man in black’s vanished corpse, but he could tell that a major fight had happened. Looking at Mo Xue’s group in the distance, he asked, “What happened?”
“I’m wondering if I should kill them.” You XiaoMo said. He didn’t lower his voice for this, rather he purposefully said it loudly, so that Mo Xue’s group could hear him. Just like he thought, the expression on their faces changed.
“All of them?” Ling Xiao asked without batting an eye.
You XiaoMo scratched his head, “Ah, actually I just want to kill this one person, her mouth is so annoying. The things that come out is hard on the ears, but I don’t want to dirty my hands.”
Ling Xiao gently chuckled, “If you want her to never speak again, that’s easy. If you think it’ll dirty your hands, then I’ll do it.”
“Okay.” You XiaoMo nodded, smiling.
The couple simultaneously looked towards Mo Xue.
As if she had fallen into an ice pit, feelings of fear, like the sprouts erupting after the rain, erupted one after another. It was only now, that she started to regret provoking them for her pride. In fear, she held on tightly to Xie Jun’s arm, with half of her body hiding behind him. “Xie-dage, help, help me!”
Xie Jun froze. If he stood up for Mo Xue with the current circumstances, then he was as good as dead. But, it was also an opportunity to completely capture her heart. As he debated, the scale soon tilted towards his fear of death. If he died then what would be the point of capturing her heart? With her heartlessness, she would probably forget him soon after.
But, now he needed to prevent Mo Fei from seeing this side of him. At this moment, he had already changed to focus on Mo Fei instead, but he would soon be rid of his worries.
Mo Xue, who had originally been latched onto him made a scream of terror and shoved him away. Her whole body was tossing and turning on the ground. Her hands gripped tightly at her neck and as her mouth opened, she spit out fire.
Soon, she was unable to scream, as if her throat had been burned. One half of her face caught on fire as well, making it eerily hideous. She kept rolling on the floor because of the pain and her fingernails broke due to the pressure, but that pain was nothing in comparison.
“Sis!” Mo Fei screamed as she was about to rush over.
With quick reflexes, Xie Jun caught her, “Don’t go there, that’s not a normal flame, even you would be burned if you go.”
Mo Fei’s body froze for a second and she didn’t dare go up anymore, instead, she cried into Xie Jun’s arms.
Somewhere in him, Niu XuYang felt a little bad for Mo Xue. If this was before they had entered Dong Yu, then he would have stopped at nothing to save her. But now, with her cynicism and her intimate actions with Xie Jun, she had worn off any love he had for her.
Now, he was eerily calm watching everything unfold.
The strange flame burned Mo Xue’s throat and half of her face. The scars moved as if there were worms on her face and it was red like a soldering iron. No one dared to go up to her and seeing the ugliness of her face, everyone shifted their gaze away in disgust.
Xie Jun hesitated for a second before pulling out a magic pill for Mo Xue to eat. She was still the daughter of the Guma Tribe’s leader, after all.
On the other hand, both Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo were gone. With Ling Xiao’s power, he could easily have Mo Xue taste her own medicine with a flick of a finger.
As for Guma Tribe’s possible revenge, that wasn’t a consideration of theirs. After all, the Guma Tribe were close with the Vermillion Blood Clan, there was no way they wouldn’t be on opposite sides.
You XiaoMo didn’t get to see Mo Xue’s sad state since they quickly left, but with Ling Xiao’s usual tendencies, he could already see Mo Xue’s misery.
“Okay, now can you tell me what happened? Who were you fighting with and for what?” Until they couldn’t see Xie Jun anymore did Ling Xiao asked once again.
You XiaoMo quickly re-accounted the ambush and his suspicion that the right eye was below the grand canyon, but he was only thirty percent sure.
Ling Xiao searched all the way over, and of course, he hadn’t seen anything suspicious along the way. They could be certain that the white tiger’s right eye was not here. It was either on the other side or below them.
“Do you want to go down now?” Ling Xiao confirmed.
You XiaoMo thought about it for a second and shook his head, “Let’s do it another day.”
There were still other people around searching for the right eye. It was better the less people knew about it and Ling Xiao’s wounds hadn’t healed yet, so before he was sure of the strength of the people below, he wasn’t going to take chances. As for whether or not he acted rashly, which might alert the enemy, with the corpse burned, that shouldn’t be a problem.
Ling Xiao didn’t oppose it.
The two took another look at the canyon before leaving for Dong Yu. With them, Xie Jun’s group had also left due to the severity of Mo Xue’s injuries. Due to her position, everyone agreed to leave early for the town.
It wasn’t long after You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao returned that Xie Jun’s group arrived too. Mo Xue’s three man group didn’t stay in the same place as them but Xie Jun’s exploration team did. It was closer to Dong Yu, thus, when they returned to town, they headed there. They caused a big commotion and many people peaked out their heads to take a look.
You XiaoMo was curious too and purposefully opened the window to get a closer look.
But because of that, Xie Jun, who was carrying Mo Xue, arrived in front of him. Seeing him, his whole body froze and his hurried footsteps came to a halt.
The people behind him pulled their emergency breaks too. Just as they were about to speak, they saw You XiaoMo leaning against the window with a devious smile. Everyone of them froze like a zombie and Mo Fei even hid behind Niu XuYang.
This was what you call ape shit!
But, they were able to meet twice in Dong Yu, which was a much bigger place, it was actually not that much of a surprise that they would meet up here in town. Maybe they were just fated to meet each other.
You XiaoMo waved, smiling, “Hello.”
Xie Jun was the first to react. If he left now, that would appear too deliberate, so he could only clench his teeth and continue walking. If they let them off the hook before, they probably wouldn’t do anything now.
Mo Fei wanted to follow him but she was afraid of becoming like her sister, so she just glued herself to Niu XuYang. Using him to block You XiaoMo’s vision so that even if something happened, it would happen to Niu XuYang first.
Seeing them run away as if they had seen a ghost, You XiaoMo laughed whole heartily.
It was the first time he had seen someone so afraid of him. Before, it was only him being afraid, now it was the other way around. As they say, what comes around goes around.
Congratulations! (to him)
“Ah!”
As he was thinking that, he was knocked on the head as Ling Xiao’s voice came from within, “What are you standing around there stupidly for? Get your ass in here!”
Ah! Ling Xiao was so annoying!
I wanted to ask something about the book
In chaper158 is LX the legendary master of beast???
I belive so but… To know
Yes.
DAYUUUM, MOMO! You need to chill the frickk up. Shiiiett, dude, the spoiled girl was just talkin smack. She didn’t do any other thing wrong to you, Momo. He mutilated her ass as if she murdered Piqiu or sth like that. The right thing to do at that moment was to chill and have Ling Xiao screw you in broad daylight right in front of their faces. XD That oughta shut her up.
Damn, Momo. I’m suddenly craving for grilled chicken now? Anyways, thanks for the translation!
right? in the past, Momo would have sassed her into submission, that was fun to read. Now he is just another bully, and even then, he doesn’t want to dirty his own hands and lets LX do it for him. Not impressed.
I think Momo already had that kind of character since before, but the past him was unable to do anything due to the lack of strength and experience ofc lol. If we had to put the blame then Boss most likely is the culprit ’cause he was such an influence to our Momo
TBH I feel that girl was long due to find mishap, she lacked enough common sense for survival in a cultivation world. In this case LX hurt her, but it could’ve been anyone with how she lacked a sense of conservation. In that world there is no police and no law, so yeah, that was very stupid of her.
I honestly feel like she deserved that
Like that guy said that wasn’t her tribe she should have been more careful if she kept acting like that sooner or later she would have gotten herself killed
Also the first time I felt YXM is too much. In the past he fights with his words and witty comebacks but right now he’s becoming so tasteless. First the rape comment and then this. I miss the old Momo 🙁
This book has rubbed me the wrong way with all of its misogynistic and problematic themes but the rape comment and this unnecessary violence is really putting a bad taste in my mouth. The comments condoning it are making me feel sick to read. You can be gay and still support women
And I’m over her hoping he could’ve killed her sooner to cut the grass and get rid of the roots. Since they let her off then the Guma tribe will come for revenge, so I was hoping they would’ve gotten rid of her and her sister, including the leader of the explorer group because he seems too ambitious and seems like he’ll be an annoyance in the future. Although they can kill him easily and he’s just cannon fodder but even cannon fodder can be annoying before becoming the protagonist’s stepping stone.
Besides, the rules of this world don’t apply to the rules of our world. Killing is against the law here but in this fictional world human life is nothing and even the slightest bad look or scuffle can result in death. So we shouldn’t be looking at this world with the same logic as ours. It was mentioned a lot by MoMo how his world view kept changing, in the beginning he also didn’t condone killing and the like but as you can see, now that he has experienced a lot, he has become stronger along with his mental fortitude, he can even easily kill people now which I’m extremely proud of.
I don’t expect him to become a badass or for (according to LX)his IQ to be in the positives, but at least when it comes to getting rid of enemies he shouldn’t hold back. I hope he becomes braver and not just against his enemies, but against LX and life in general. It’s one of the things I don’t like about him, and sometimes his low IQ can become annoying as well but it’s refreshing other times since this type of protagonist is not common. Sometimes I even think LX is more of the protagonist then MoMo is(like literally MoMo would already be dead a million times over without LX). The only thing he has going for him as a protagonist is his talent(which is not much above others since others from his generation are just a little behind him), his luck, and his golden thigh ML and golden finger dimensional space. The least the Author could do to make up for MoMo’s IQ is to give him an outstanding appearance to match the ML but not even that was given to him😩. Although MoMo is still good looking and I love him still, but these were just things I wanted to get off my chest since I started reading this story. Although their are still a few more but I don’t want to make this comment any longer. This last part paragraph doesn’t even have anything to do with the comment but just me ranting lol.
Thank you for the chapter~ Lil Momo is so happy, haha. I hope LX gets better enough soon so they can go down there.
Oof, jealous Xiao Mo ain’t gonna let that woman go! I’m also angry at that type of woman.
Ah Momo. You’ve been converted by LX. Haha. But i love how LX dote on his wifey. Doing the dirty deeds to appease him. And Momo has become a bit evil and i am lovin it.
Thanks for translating, Crystal!
WOW IM DIGGING MURDERHUSBANDS <333
feels kinda bad momo's getting used to ling xiao's murderous ways but… well… cultivation world /shrug
[Now, he was eerily calm watching everything unfold.]
Good.. 👍
And the ending.. hahahahha.. I love it. 🤣🤣🤣
I understand LX now. He teaches Momo the reality of the world, but also knocks MoMo down when he gets too prideful. Though his methods are so bad and abusive, I guess it has a purpose.
True. Also, the way Boss treats Momo right now is kinda important so that people can see how it will get better in the future.
Oooophhh I like dark Momo (…sometimes)
But still miss his innocence… He’s adapted too much
Momo getting cold…. Well, other people should just get warmer! You’d think the Bird of Pride would be more powerful since it’s all these people are concerned about. Very few are mature like Boss and Momo. Humble yourselves!
That woman deserves what she got. Like that XJ’s thought, that woman is an idiot thinking her tribe is so powerful that it could save her. Death is a luxury for her given her brainlessness.
YXM has been bullied before, even in this world. Nobody respects him. We can see that on LX, as well as his contracted beasts. No matter how much he tries, his achievements are always overlooked. Added with LX’s influence, YXM turning black is inevitable.
It was too low for YXM to say such things, but that woman is very thirsty with men. So, his words has basis. Also, she kept irritating YXM, and YXM is no saint. His patience has a limit. And so, it was after more meetings did he finally snap and wanted to kill her. Even XJ wanted to kill her. So why vilify YXM for wanting to kill her?
LX volunteered to help YXM. What’s wrong with YXM using LX to harm her?
P.S.: YXM didn’t use words to diss her, since you can’t use logic against brainless people.
some of u people forget this is a cultivation world, lots of selfish people (it’s dark if u think harder), i miss old momo but what do u expect? Ling Xiao change him.. If momo now is momo before, he would act differently obviously, ofc without ling xiao influencing him.. That boss didn’t blink an eye to help someone, he’s more ruthless
Not supporting their actions though, but i always keep in mind they’re not a hero in this story
No one is forgetting that. The problem isn’t with the cultivation world. It’s the author’s misogyny. Some of you seem to think that women were all hateful and useless because it’s a cultivation world but if other writers can create stories where women are decent so can this one. This writer simply hates women.
Some of y’all are mad momo isn’t a saint LAMSK HES HUMAN CRY ABT IT tf y’all acting like that girl wouldn’t have met a worst fate if momo hadn’t humbled her 💀 like stfu I love how he doesn’t try to be nice and understand this is a literal dog eat world the only unnecessary thing I’ve even seen him do was that rape comment. Boss is literally the best knocks him down when he gets too prideful but literally backs him up whenever
I saw a couple of comments complaining about disfiguring this woman being misogyny. Like, hello, have you forgotten about the numerous men LX has disfigured? At least one backstabbing boy is missing his eyes. LX loves to burn off body parts, especially since he knows they’ll think they can cure it with a pill, then fall into despair when they find out it’s special flames lol
These comments are making me so mad right now! Like..hello? Why call misogyny just because Ling Xiao burned her face. I mean he has done the same thing to men before and I definitely didn’t see anyone complaining then. This Mo Xue is pretty much the same case as Jiang Liu and everyone was so happy when Boss blinded him back then but now with her everyone’s getting butt hurt just because she’s a woman. You guys need to chill with your mindset please.
Don’t think she wouldn’t kill them if they were a bit weaker than her and fyi this is the cultivation world and the real world and going according to her words she is definitely not some fluffy girl and I don’t mean that because she’s thirsty for beautiful men…I mean we aren’t? Heh. What I meant was just look at her words and actions. She would do the same to MoMo and even worse if given the chance. This is a dog eat dog world and I am glad MoMo has become what he has because otherwise he’d be dead. And that rape comment too. I’m a woman and even though that comment definitely made me do a double check but it still wasn’t completely inappropriate of MoMo by the way that girl reacted. She obviously didn’t think too highly of almost getting rape. Her whole fucking focus was if the one who saved her was handsome or not. Like bitch what? Sorry for the long rant. But Evil MoMo×Boss for life!!😘
Besides Momo’s viciousness, the other part that stood out was how her group turned their faces away from her ugliness after being burned. There is very little kindness and empathy in this imagined world.
