Chapter 567

Dealt With
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

In the end, You XiaoMo wasn’t able to win the argument.

Getting another mage to refine pills truly was quite a risk. There was too much to consider, risks and exposure and whatnot. They might as well do it themselves.

“Tell me what you were laughing about just now.” After discussing the pills, Ling Xiao brought up an old topic. He had a much clearer head than You XiaoMo, able to push the topic back on track after they had gone on a tangent.

You XiaoMo gave him a basic summary of what had happened in these two days, including how the owner killed outsiders and cooked them into steamed buns, almost making him eat one.

“Have you been to Dong Zhou before? I think the people of JiJiu Town are all pretty disgusting.”

Ling Xiao replied, “I’ve been here once before, but didn’t stay long, and that was tens of thousands of years ago. Dong Zhou has changed from what it is in my memories, but their xenophobia has always rang true, especially the practitioner towns: most of them aren’t tribesmen.”

“I don’t think the townspeople will let this be. Do you want to stay in my dimension for now?” You XiaoMo suggested. He, at least, really wanted to throw Ling Xiao in there to make things simpler.

Yet Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate to reject his offer. “No need. I’m not so injured that I can’t even protect myself. They’re nothing but ants; what’s there to worry about. If they really try to attack, then we’ll just kill them. Plus, your intelligence is so lacking, I’d be worried!”

That’s easy for you to say!

You XiaoMo glared at him. If it was just a few people, then that wouldn’t be a problem. However, JiJiu Town had thousands. It wouldn’t be possible to silence them all for certain. He didn’t want to be hunted down by everyone upon arrival to Dong Zhou.

Now he had the Reincarnation Pill added to his troubles. If he messed up and made more grudges, then he could banish all thought of going anywhere with many Dong Zhou people again, and then where would he go to find the two magic herbs he was missing?

Lastly…

You’re the one who’s lacking intelligence! Your entire family is lacking intelligence!

“Let’s do this step by step. We’ll talk about this after dealing with the owner and employees of the inn tonight. So that’s decided then. You keep resting.” You XiaoMo decided by himself. As a man, he had to be able to take command of the family.

Ling Xiao cuffed him over the head. “Decided your ass.”

You XiaoMo clutched his head. Being in control was too hard, and too often met with domestic violence. He was going to complain to the Women’s Federation.
t/n: Women’s Federation is a women’s rights organization of China. Protecting women from domestic violence is one of their task.
(Ra: so you are a woman now, Momo?)

Though he had caused quite a commotion earlier today, no one had dared to come and mess with them yet. Even the strongest man of JiJiu Town had cowered, even if they did cause trouble, they’d only be looking for a beating.

However, this had hindered the other outsiders, because the locals started ostracizing them even more. Now, even if they had spirit gems, no one would be willing to sell anything. Some couldn’t bare this kind of atmosphere and left directly.

That night, HaoLai Inn’s innkeeper had learned from the blunder last time. Afraid that they wouldn’t eat the midnight snacks, he drugged their dinner directly.
