My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant -
Chapter 73: A Generous Master
After drinking the disciple tea, Lou Mu Yan very generously took out the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast from her interspatial ring and threw it on the open floor.
“This Flame Unicorn Beast can be regarded as a meeting gift given to you by this Master.”
Huo Xiao was instantly fazed. The Flame Unicorn Beast was just given to him like this as a meeting gift? This Master was a bit too generous.
If Xiao Zi Ang and the others were present at this time, they would definitely shout: “Prodigal lady!”
“Isn’t this a bit too valuable?” Huo Xiao said, showing a rare moment of having thin skin.
Lou Mu Yan glared at him with a look of disapproval: “Put away your look as if you haven’t experienced this world. In the future, when you follow your Master, you’d better be more dignified. A single Flame Unicorn Beast could already conquer you? So useless.”
She had always been generous to people she approved of. It was just the corpse of a Flame Unicorn Beast. This gift to her disciple could only be considered as not too shabby.
She couldn’t help but hold her forehead. If she took out those Smithing methods she knew of, wouldn’t that frighten him…
Huo Xiao’s forehead was heavily creased. A Peak-Phase Tier 6 Flame Unicorn Beast was already amazing, alright? Where was he useless? But he just nodded and didn’t dare to refute.
“Yes. Then I thank Master for this gift!”
The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched. She had never accepted a disciple in her previous life, but now she felt that was pretty good to be a Master.
“Here. This is a bottle of Spirit Cleansing Pills. It can help you remove the Fire Poison in your body.” She was in a rather good mood and threw another bottle of Spirit Cleansing Pills to Huo Xiao. Since this person had become her disciple, then she naturally wouldn’t watch him die from poisoning.
Huo Xiao immediately caught the white porcelain bottle as if holding some treasure. He couldn’t help but open the bottle cap, and a serene medicinal scent wafted to his nose. His heart that had become restless because of the Fire Poison also calmed down.
He was surprised. Although he had never heard the name ‘Spirit Cleansing Pill’, but from the fragrance of the medicine alone, he knew that it was definitely extraordinary.
“Thank you, Master!” Huo Xiao put away the Spirit Cleansing Pill and thanked Lou Mu Yan again.
Lou Mu Yan glanced at him with furrowed brows, then waved her hand, “That’s enough. The relationship between us is Master and disciple, but we can just interact like friends. Don’t sound so sour from now on either.”
The corner of Huo Xiao’s lips twitched. This little Master’s temperament really was difficult to understand, but at least she was easy to get along with.
From being acquainted until now, Little Master had already given him too much shock. Looking down at the Flame Unicorn Beast on the ground, he smiled brightly as he thought that his decision to take her as his Master was truly incomparably correct.
“Alright. I’ll listen to Master.”
“Then go hurry up and take a bath, change your clothes, and clean up your appearance.”
Finally, Lou Mu Yan added in a cold, cautionary tone: “I don’t like my disciple being too sloppy, otherwise I’d want to immediately kick them out.”
Huo Xiao shrunk his neck. He also felt that he didn’t smell that good, so he hurried out of the room after addressing them to take a shower.
After Huo Xiao left, Lou Mu Bai rubbed the teacup in his hand with a meaningful smile and said: “Congratulations to my little sister for receiving such a good disciple.”
“Eldest Brother, you’ve got to know, I kidnapped Huo Xiao for the Lou Clan.” Lou Mu Yan fluttered her eyes with a smile.
“Our Yan’er has really grown up.” Lou Mu Bai couldn’t help but pat Lou Mu Yan’s head affectionately.
In the past, he and Lou Mu Ting could only hope that their younger sister would grow up happily and worry-free, so now that their younger sister was growing up so quickly, it made them slightly surprised, but also sigh with praise.
He would respect all his younger sister’s choices, work with her to maintain and strengthen the Lou Clan, and protect the family they valued.
“Eldest Brother, aren’t you going to ask me where I got that Tier 6 Flame Unicorn Beast?” Lou Mu Yan didn’t dislike the intimacy Lou Mu Bai displayed and asked with an obedient smile.
Lou Mu Bai moved his palm away from the top of her head and flicked her forehead with his fingers, “I believe in Yan’er.”
Lou Mu Yan pressed her lips together and the last layer of the veil that she had set up around her heart disintegrated because of the phase ‘I believe’.
She knew what Lou Mu Bai meant. No matter what she did, Lou Mu Bai, as her elder brother, wouldn’t ask any questions, would trust her unconditionally and stand behind her, and bear on his shoulders as much of this world for her as possible.
But she didn’t want to just hide behind them. She would also work hard to prop up the blue and peaceful sky for her family that was the Lou Clan.
When meeting Huo Xiao again at night, Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Bai almost didn’t recognise him.
The Huo Xiao right now wore a navy-blue robe with hair tied behind his head, his beard shaved, and who revealed a fair and clean handsome face.
If one hadn’t seen his previous sloppy look, one definitely wouldn’t have been able to connect that person with this man before them who bore some refinement.
“It looks much more pleasing to the eye.” Lou Mu Yan was quite satisfied with Huo Xiao’s current look, and it wasn’t just only a little bit better than when they first met.
“It’s all thanks to Little Master.” Huo Xiao smiled. His temperament was also much milder compared to before. This was also thanks to the Spirit Cleansing Pill given by Lou Mu Yan.
After taking the Spirit Cleansing Pill, the Fire Poison that had accumulated in Huo Xiao’s body was completely removed. The irritable and frantic feelings also disappeared. It was as if he had returned to his true nature, a man who looked refined and handsome.
This result made him extremely excited, and he felt to praise and praise his decision to take a Master even more firmly. He definitely would have meat to eat if he followed his Little Master.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Lou Mu Yan asked Huo Xiao: “I’m going to the Glacial Mountain Range, do you have any plans?”
“Naturally I’d go to the Glacial Mountain Range with Little Master.” Huo Xiao said as if he took it for granted.
He had been alone for many years and was originally a homeless duckweed1. Now that he had a Master, he naturally wanted to go with her.
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Huo Xiao speechlessly, “I’m going to the Glacial Mountain Range to participate in the Academy’s Trial. What’re you following for?”
“Then what do I do?”
“I’ll write you a letter and you’ll bring it to the General’s Mansion of Yan’zhou Kingdom to give to the Marshal or General, and they’ll arrange a place for you.”
Lou Mu Yan had planned for this person, Huo Xiao, to serve her from the very beginning. Now that Huo Xiao had taken her as his Master, then her previous plan needed some changing. She needed to remove the elements of cooperating by using each other, and now treat him with more sincerity.
“You’re telling me to go to your house?” Although Huo Xiao usually lived reclusively, but he still knew some things about nearby countries.
“That’s right. The General’s Mansion is the best place for you to live right now.” Seeing how a desolate emotion flashed by Huo Xiao’s eyes, Lou Mu Yan reached out her hand and patted his shoulder in comfort, saying in a sincere tone: “The General’s Mansion will also be your home in the future. We’re your family.”
An instant sourness rose in Huo Xiao’s heart. He was bullied because he was an orphan since he was a child. Later, he accidentally obtained a manual and walked on the path of a Sword Master, yet he had to wander around the world. This was the first time someone had told him, ‘that will be your home’.
His heart that had cooled for so many years and rarely rippled, now did. A warm current poured in. He nodded and smiled softly, saying: “Alright!”
Lou Mu Yan had already discovered that Huo Xiao was actually a sentimental person with a good character, otherwise she wouldn’t dare to randomly recruit someone as a disciple as it’d be like leading wolves into the room. Towards this Disciple, for now, she was rather satisfied.
Soon afterwards, Lou Mu Yan wrote a letter that roughly described the process of meeting Huo Xiao and the relationship between them. Then she asked Huo Xiao to set off for the Imperial Capital’s General’s Mansion as soon as possible.
The next day, before dawn, all the students were called by Lan Si, and after having breakfast, they rode their Tailwind Horses towards the Glacial Mountain Range.
