Chapter 259

Cohabitation
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

The truth of the matter proved that You XiaoMo’s guess was pretty close.

Ling Xiao had spent a lot of effort to attain the privilege to live together with You XiaoMo.

His previous actions could be used as an example. Ling Xiao went about challenging the people ranking above him, and set extremely high stakes for their duels. In the end, no one was willing to fight him. This became a tacit understanding in Block One, and everyone rejected his challenge with the excuse of closed door cultivation.

Thus, within Block One, a bad reputation was beginning to be attached to Ling Xiao’s name.

You XiaoMo planned to go to the sales area for the magic pills, but he was waylaid by Ling Xiao and dragged to Elder Wan for the purpose of settling their accommodations. The density of spiritual energy in a single person pavilion and a two person pavilion was the same. Therefore, it was more cost-effective to rent a two person pavilion. In fact, there were many with roommates as the cost of rental was only ten points per person.

Rumours about Ling Xiao had reached Elder Wan’s ears. Without needing Ling Xiao’s to take out his Purple card, Elder Wan bluntly said, “You guys already know of the rental rules, it will cost eleven points to end your lease…”

“Please do not bother yourself, we are not here to rent a two person pavilion.” Ling Xiao interrupted him. He did not get this Purple card for the purpose of renting a two person pavilion with You XiaoMo, but to move into You XiaoMo’s current pavilion.

Elder Wan raised an eyebrow in surprise. What does that sentence mean?

You XiaoMo blushed, and did not know how to explain the situation to Elder Wan. He had already guessed that since there were going to live together, Ling Xiao would refuse to sleep separately from him. Rather than wasting eight points to cover up their intentions, they might as well enlighten Elder Wan. But confessing such a thing required courage.

Ling Xiao put his arm around You XiaoMo’s shoulders, and his mouth let out a hint of a smile, “To save some points, we decided to sleep in the same bed. The bed in the pavilion is big enough anyway.”

A trace of suspicion flashed across Elder Wan’s face, but the reason that Ling Xiao gave was quite justifiable.

There were some practitioners who were living together in a single person pavilion to save some points. The relationship between them was either that of lifelong sworn friends, or brothers/sisters.

However, the feeling that these two gave him was a little weird.

But he could not seem to figure out, and since it did not concern him, Elder Wan put it out of mind and just helped Ling Xiao to settle his check-out procedures.

Although You XiaoMo knew that if Ling Xiao lived together with him, he would be ‘bullied’ badly, but he was unable to reject Ling Xiao. It was not easy for Ling Xiao to get the Purple Card. If You XiaoMo dared to refuse him, he would die a miserable death.

Thus, their life of cohabitation began.

After leaving Elder Wan’s place, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao headed off to the sales area for the magic pills.

Ever since he opened his stall, many who bought his magic pills had experienced their benefits and most of them became repeat customers. As a result, it took less than thirty minutes for a flood of people to arrive for the purpose of purchasing his pills. Seeing him selling level five magic pills, they were all stunned for a moment, but soon they shook it off and began fighting over the pills.
