《Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World》


 Chapter 1: Welcome to Netherworld

    <h4>Chapter 1: Wee to Netherworld</h4>


    " So, You saying your life was full of regret?"


    " Yes."


    A man answered with a downcast face. " I... I am so consumed by so much guilt and shame. I don''t know what to do."


    " I can see your karma. With a suffering life, you have paid back all the karmic debt. So, you can again start out a new life without staying in Fengdu city."


    " Really?"


    " Now, You have already crossed the Bridge of Helplessness. Now, drink this tea to proceed further."


    The man looked at the elderlydy sitting before him as he nodded, taking a sip from the porcin cup. Suddenly, his expression of anguish and pain disappeared, reced with a peacefulness for a moment.


    After that, his gaze became dull, like a nk te.


    " Now... I feel so empty."


    " It''s natural." The elderly woman nodded as she showed a small gate. " Now, you can pass through the gate and enter the gates of samsara."


    As the man walked away, he could look at his surroundings.


    A dark ce, with the ground cracked with various cracks, spewing out green and violet mes. Crimson spider lilies blooming across the fields, making thend look like covered with crimson snow.


    Just like his, thousands of Bridge of Helplessness, with thousands of elderly women talking and making their tea drunk to people like him. Everything appeared chaotic, yet perfect in this twisted ce.


    This is the legendary Netherworld.


    The elderly woman showed no exhaustion as she looked at her new visitor.


    " Visitor from far, take a seat. You have the right to take some rest after your journey."


    " Indeed, I have this right... Too much." A young man spoke as he sat before the elderly woman. " Granny Meng, Is it?"


    " You are sharp, Young Man. Indeed, I am Granny Meng."


    " You are lying though." The young man took her teapot and poured some tea for himself, making Granny Meng speechless.


    " Young Man, that''s the tea of..."


    " Forgetness?" The young man took a sip as his expression turned dull.


    " Haah, You are hasty, Young Man." Granny Meng sighed. " But anyway, now you can..."


    " Well, Got you." The young man suddenlyughed as he drank more tea, making Granny Meng aghast.


    " You...You!! How is it possible?"


    " Well, Miss Clone, Shall I tell you something?" The young man winked. " White crane patterns on red panties..."


    " ENOUGH!"


    Granny Meng almost jumped from her seat as she saw a young woman with white hair and crimson eyes standing beside her, appearing out of nowhere.


    " Lady Meng..."


    " No need to worry." Thedy sighed. " It''s not your fault. It''s just...I never expected this bastard to return so fast.


    The young man ced the teacup on the table as he smiled. " Well, It''s already the eighth time, eh?"


    " Come with me." The woman rolled her eyes as she escorted the young man away.


    " Well, It''s a waste to hide your elegant beauty like this, Big Sister Meng." The young man chuckled as he followed the woman.


    " Brat. I am already old enough to see your thousand reincarnations. You still dare to look at me with those perverted eyes?" Granny Meng rolled her eyes as she spoke.


    " Well, It''s your fault, Sister Meng. Your appearance is so mesmerizing." The young man grinned. " Of course, I am talking about the current appearance, not the fake Granny Mengs who are serving tea out there."


    Both of them arrived near a gigantic golden bell and the young man sighed. " Well, Here we go again..."


    With intricate designs with auspicious beasts carved around it, the golden bell radiated a holy light, making the souls unable to go near it. However, the young man rolled his sleeves as he punched the bell.


    *GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG! GONG!*


    The bell rang nine times. However, the strangest thing was, that after each gong, the intensity of the sound increased. As for the ninth gong, it echoed throughout theherworld.


    " Who is it? Who is disturbing me in my leisure time?" With a thunderous roar, the giant pce''s door opened as a figure appeared before the pce, with loosely fitting royal robes.


    The roar was enough to make even the most evil soul cower a thousand miles away, not to mention ordinary souls. Yet the young man stood calmly, with a mocking smile on his face.


    " My lord! You can''t act like that. It''s the Bell of Grieverence." A man with a small stature hurried as he adjusted the clothes of the burly man.


    " But I was watching the live streaming of Fairy Chang''ge, Damn it!" The man cursed as his gaze fell on the young man who rang the bell.


    " Yo-You! It''s you! IT''S YOU AGAIN!?"


    " Greetings, Your Majesty, The Great King Yanluo." The young man bowed. " It''s me, again."


    " Niu Tuo! Ma Mian!" King Yanluo roared. Instantly, The Ox Headed and Horse Faced guard appeared before him.


    " Why is this bastard here again?" King Yanluo asked.


    " This...I don''t know, Your Majesty." The Ox Headed spirit spoke with indignation. " As you instructed, We tried to erase all his karma and forced his soul to a recent corpse."


    " But he still died within a month." The Horse Faced sighed. " Your Majesty, I can''t take this anymore. Everyone else isughing at me."


    " Yes, Your Majesty." Ox Headed nodded. " He is an abomination who ate Nether Lily in the Mortal Realm and Good Fortune Fungus in the Netherworld."


    " I say, Erase his soul." Granny Meng replied.


    " Big Sister, Since when you be so cruel?" The young man pouted. " How can you do that to an innocent soul like me?"


    " Jia Hao, You aren''t an innocent soul." Granny Meng snorted lightly.


    " Well, It looks like Sister Meng remembers my name of first life." Jia Hao grinned. " Such a loving elder sister."


    Then, he looked at King Yanluo.


    " King Yanluo, The embodiment of justice. It''s the fourth time I havee to you, stating that I have reincarnated an eighth time unsessfully." The Jia Hao spoke. " So, please...Compensate me."


    Due to an unfortunate coincidence, Jia Hao became a glitch in three realms. After his death, he found out that he couldn''t be reincarnated at all. And, if he possesses the body of a newly deceased person, he couldn''t live more than a year.


    " Didn''t Niu Tuo and Ma Nian send him to the body of Kim Hyusung, a pop artist of the famous LTS group?" King Yanluo looked at his subordinate." What happened?"


    " Well, ording to this..." The Nether Registrar swiped his tablet. But his face turned stiff.


    [ The validity of the current version of your app has ended. Please purchase ourtest version of our app only at 99999 Divine Crystals]


    " What happened?" King Yanluo nced at him.


    " Uh...The app version validity ended." The Nether Registrar''s face turned dark. " Wait a bit, Your Majesty. I am downloading the cracked version."


    " Fuck these AE bastards." King Yanluo cursed as his voice became low. " Increase the payment of hackers who are cracking this software...and decrease their sentence."


    Jia Hao blinked as he saw the scene happening before him.


    " Ah yes, This is hell."

 Chapter 2: Secret of Nine Reincarnations

    <h4>Chapter 2: Secret of Nine Reincarnations</h4>


    " Your Majesty, I already told you, These employees of those infamous gamepanies aren''t reliable."


    " I already lost how much money I have burnt to get my favorite characters!"


    " Hoyomi! Chencent! And Glizzard put all souls from there on the watchlist. King Yanluo murmered.


    " Ahem, We just got distracted!" King Yanluo looked at the Nether Registrar. " So, What happened after Jia Hao got that Pop star''s body?"


    The Registrar''s expression turned strange as he looked at the content in his tablet, then looked at Jia Hao for confirmation. Jia Hao sighed as he nodded.


    Herees the short narration of Jia Hao''s eventful eighth reincarnation.


    After getting into the dead Kin Hyusung''s body, Jia Hao got up and looked at his face. A bit too handsome face with pale snow like skin, Jia Hao felt a bit like Gigolo.


    But he didn''t care as he saw his huge fan following. The fangirls of Kim Hyusung were simply like a mini army, ready to do anything that Kim Hyusung asked for.


    Money, Wealth, Looks, Jia Hao really thanked his Ox and Horse bros before getting into thevish life of a superstar. He even decided to pick some of the beautiful fellow heroines to invite to his bed chambers.


    However, soon enough, Jia Hao noticed a peculiarity. The team of Kim Hyusung consisted of mostly men. When he tried to adjust it, he got many strange gazes from his peers.


    But then, one evening, Jia Hao finally understood the secret behind everything when he got into his spa. Instead of getting greeted by beautiful and scantily d women, Jia Hao was greeted by two of his own bodyguards wearing nothing more than briefs.


    Finally, Jia Hao understood why he always felt strange while sitting in Kim Hyusung''s body after possessing it. After escaping from getting his chrysanthemum blooming further, Jia Hao cursed the nine generations of Netherworld and vowed to take revenge.


    Therefore, he bid his time and collected all the ck materials of the entertainment industry. Bribes, Scandals, Money Laundering, Prostitution, Murders, every single detail was dug out by Jia Hao within a week as he released everything to the public.


    Well, As expected, after being a hero, it didn''t take much time for him to be a martyr. He git shot dead before he could go to the court to give a further statement. However, he managed to spread the evidence so much that even the dumbest one had a copy of it.


    It created a national wave, making the judiciary do a mass purge in the entertainment industry. Soon, Kim Hyusung became a true hero, making thousands of victims'' families praise him in uing years.


    " And, Just like that...His karma again became like a turbulent sea and his virtue was multiplied thanks to the Cloud of Good Fortune." The Registrar sighed.


    " So, You got fucked or not?" Granny Meng asked.


    " Sister Meng, unfortunately for you, I didn''t." Jia Hao rolled her eyes. " You need to stop reading those weird books."


    " Hehe..."


    " So what? Shall we take him for the Ninth Reincarnation?" Niu Tuo asked as he looked at King Yanluo. As King Yanluo was about to nod, his expression changed. " Wait, Ninth Reincarnation? No..."


    " What? Are you finally allowing me for a proper rebirth?" Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled. " Are you finally going to give me some cheats ording to my karma?"


    " Nope, I am not going to do anything of that." King Yanluo smiled as he raised his hands. " Nether Registrar, I heard the Aurora of Outer Realm has appeared near a spatial crack?"


    " My lord?!!" Everyone''s expression changed when they heard that. Jia Hao suddenly felt an invisible hand grabbing him as he vanished with King Yanluo.


    Instead of seeing the gates of samsara, Jia Hao was terrified to see a river of strange lights before him, outside of a spatial crack.


    " King Yanluo! What are you doing?" Jia Hao shouted. " Is this the justice of Yama King?! Aren''t you afraid of causality?"


    " Well, You are an anomaly, Jia Hao." King Yanluo shrugged. " Not to mention, you have an obnoxious amount of karmic fate and good fortune thanks for eating a heavenly treasure like Cloud of Good Fortune."


    " So, Rather than patching the system, You want to kill the bug?" Jia Hao was speechless. But then, heughed. " I knew it. That''s why I burnt your Celestial Records of Great Beauties."


    " Little Fucker!" King Yanluo cursed. " No wonder I couldn''t find that. But anyway, I bid you farewell, Unfortunate Soul."


    " Don''t worry, you won''t die." King Yanluo smiled deviously. " It''s just that...You will go outside the realm of my jurisdiction."


    " Then?"


    " I don''t know." King Yanluo shrugged as he patted Jia Hao. " The Grand Dao is limitless, so is creation. I hope you find your path."


    " Wait! At least give me some cheat!" Jia Hao screamed. But King Yanluo already pushed him into the Aurora of Outer Realm.


    As he returned, the surroundings became solemn.


    " His Majesty, Even though he was an anomaly, Was it truly necessary?" Granny Meng asked. " As the embodiment of Justice, I didn''t expect you to do that."


    " Reincarnation...The reincarnation you know is simply erasing the memories of past life of a soul and sending it to new life." King Yanluo looked at the sky. " However, since Jia Hao was an anomaly, the memories of his past lives and karma couldn''t be erased."


    " Experiencing Samsara nine times while earning an enormous amount of good karma for each life, do you know what would have happened?" King Yanluo nced at them.


    " Enlightenment, Ascension of Heavenly Sage."


    Everyone turned around and saw an old monk holding a sweeper.


    " Great Khsitigarbha?"


    " Greetings, Venerable."


    Even King Yanluo greeted him with respect. But Khsitigarbha kept looking at the Aurora of Outer Realm. " Poorss, he had to suffer like that."


    " However, if he had ascended as Heavenly Sage like that, it would have created many causality problems." King Yanluo sighed. "


    " Is achieving enlightenment and bing Heavenly Sage that easy?" Horse Faced spirit asked.


    " Amitabha, It all depends on chance." Kshitigarbha gave a kind smile. " Even the golden cicada managed to achieve Buddhahood."


    " And for venerable?" King Yanluo became amused. " You vowed to not ascend before theherworld is not empty. Even if you lost your chance, You are a true buddha for me."


    " Haah, ttery doesn''t suit me well." Khsitigarbhaughed lightly. " And who said I lost my chance? It''s just didn''te yet."


    " So, What about him now?" Granny Meng bit her lips as she asked.


    " Don''t worry, That rascal has an astronomical amount of karmic burden and good luck. He can''t find any peace at all. So, he won''t die at this moment." King Yanluoughed lightly. " Who knows, His chance might be lying there?


    Suddenly, the Registrar''s expression changed. " Sir, The Heavenly Guards have arrived. They are asking about the soul of Jia Hao."


    " Hmph! Offcials are slow andzy as usual. After the the robbery, the police is installing a theft rm?" King Yanluo snorted.


    " Send Heavenly Court a bill and askpensation of A hundred billion Divine Crystals and manpower topletely rebuild theherworld system."


    " My lord, Isn''t that kinda...Rip off?"


    " So, what?" King Yanluo rolled his eyes. " They already neglected theherworld long enough. If they don''t agree, then I will stop the Six Path of Reincarnation and send all souls to celestial domain."


    " Besides...After I get thepensation, I am thinking of giving you all a raise." King Yanluo coughed lightly.


    " King Yanluo is wise!"


    " Hail the Monarch of Justice!"


    '' That little bastard... He really burnt my precious collection.'' King Yanluo sighed. But thinking about the prospectivepensation, he became ted.


    Truly, old ginger is spicier, Ah.


    As everyone enjoyed, all of them couldn''t help but burn a single joss paper for Jia Hao.


    " Amitabha." Khsitigarbha sighed. " You helped me a lot, Young man. May your fortune takes you to your destiny."


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile.


    " Where...Where am I?"

 Chapter 3: A World of Eroge?

    <h4>Chapter 3: A World of Eroge?</h4>


    Boobs.


    A woman''s boobs are filled with men''s hope.


    The line shed in the young man''s mind as his eyes focused on the pair of plump breasts in front of him.


    " Hao''er, Are you alright? I know I am not your mother but...I hope you can understand me."


    *SQUEEZE*


    With a tight hug, the young man felt the pair of bouncy breasts pressing on his face.


    Jia Hao remembered how he got thrown into the Aurora of Outer Realm by King Yanluo.


    '' Damn it, I just burnt the Celestial Catalog of Beautiful Fairies and Demonesses. Was it that that of a big crime that he booted threw me out of the universe?''


    The Celestial Catalog actually had the best images of various otherworldly beauties and their spicy pics. Jia Hao kinda of understands why Yama King lost his temper like that.


    Instead of following the procedure and making him pass through the gates of reincarnation, King Yama simply threw him into a spatial vortex and called it off as an ident, allowing him to leech offpensation of the heavenly realm.


    Heh, what a good way to brush off responsibility. What a load of crap!


    In the end, it was Jia Hao who suffered. At least, that''s what he thought before arriving here.


    Jia Hao, 19 years old, Living in Eastern Sea City, Azure Province, Tianshu Nation.


    What made the ''traveler'' Jia Hao shocked that the three beauties standing before him.


    One milf, plump body with a tight ck gown, hugging her dress like a glove. She gave off an aura of maturity, yet allure like a tender vixen.


    Second was a girl in a ck dress, with a pair of spectacles guarding her gem like eyes. Her long, dark auburn hair along with her charming face made her look like an intelligent and sophisticated young girl.


    The third girl was younger than the second girl. However, her big breasts and developed body would beg to differ. She had short hair and sharp eyes, her body was fit and fine like an athlete.


    '' Su Yunqi, Su Lan and Su Xing''er...Holy shit! Aren''t they three from the game called Urban Fantasy?'' Jia Hao gasped.


    Urban Fantasy was a game that he was ying before dying for the seventh time. In that life, Jia Hao was born as Alex in a modern world. The age of VRMMORPG had just begun and Urban Fantasy was one of the building blocks of it.


    It was the first AI powered game that could generate unlimited types of content, making the user feel like they are living inside a fantasy novel. The response of AI bots could mimic human behavior and speech, making the gap between AI intelligence and human intelligence almost non-existent.


    The only downside of that game was...It was a text game with asional image generation. But it was still tolerable for many people till a thing happened.


    The eroge version of the game was released. It was well received till the users found sexting with bots was far too hard.


    In the game, you need toplete mini quests, mini question-and-answer games, and grind for hours in turn based text games. But what made the yers go crazy was that the number of bad endings in a plot was too fucking high.


    Even after doing everything, the bot could cheat on you or get NTR''ed by another guy. Not to mention, the image of your favorite waifus getting NTR''ed shing before all you did, made a good amount of people smash their phones and curse the nine generation of thepany who built the game.


    There were good, bad, and neutral endings for all plots. When someone finds traces of a bad ending, they simply discard the entire game and y from the start again.


    It was because, once a route is set, changing it was nigh impossible. So, people simply rolled till they got a neutral or good ending route.


    However, the game remained popr for a year despite all its shitty shorings till the first VRMMORPG game was released. Although it wasn''t fully immersive with the five senses, the yers can wear a helmet and see a different world.


    It was estimated that fully immersive VRMMORPG games like fantasy anime and novels would appear in five to ten years, but the new game Saber Art Online was enough to drive people crazy.


    But not Jia Hao who yed Urban Fantasy for five years straight. He memorized millions of texts, plots, quests, heroines, viins, potential bonuses, and hazards in his mind.


    He was one of the masochist yers who yed the bad ending route and tried to change it.


    He dedicated years to the Urban Fantasy game, to achieve the good endings in all plots.


    As for not ying Saber Art Online, it was totally not the reason that he couldn''t afford the VR helmet at all.


    '' But damn, To think I died while trying to install a cheat code in it. Anyway, The thing is...Su Yunqi, Su Lan, and Su Xing''er are standing right before me. And...they look much more beautiful than the character cards.''


    Jia Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he almost got choked by Su Yunqi''s hug.


    Not that he minds though.


    Although the plot differs in everything, Jia Hao already remembered themon temtes.


    Jia Hao, 19 years old, Living in Eastern Sea City, Azure Province, Tianshu Nation.


    Three days ago, Jia Hao''s parents died in an ident.


    Jia Hao spent three days alone in a room. Su Yunqi and her husband were the friends of Jia Hao''s parents. However, Su Yunqi''s husband died three years ago, leaving his beautiful wife and two daughters.


    After hearing the news of Jia Hao''s parent''s death, Su Yunqi rushed here andforted Jia Hao.


    And now, she is insisting Jia Haoe back to her mansion and live there.


    '' Ah yes, Such a convenient plot.''


    " Jia Hao, From now on, Treat me like your own mother, alright?" Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao and spoke in a firm voice."


    " Alright, Aunt Su." Jia Hao nodded sheepishly.


    " Then get ready ande with us. You areing back with us to our mansion."


    However, when they arrived at the Su Family''s Mansion, Jia Hao''s expression changed when he saw a person standing there.


    '' Li Tao? What the fuck is this bastard doing here?''

 Chapter 4: First Villain Appears

    <h4>Chapter 4: First Viin Appears</h4>


    Urban Fantasy was like a vast and limitless world created by texts, with almost limitless possibilities hiding within. However, due to the interaction of the user base, there were few popr routes a yer could go through.


    Mind it, popr routes don''t mean good endings for users. But then, Let''s not kinkshame, shall we?


    As for how to detect it''s a bad ending route, you simply encounter a bastard who simply can''t be defeated.


    In the game, the yer was given several choices and each choice would affect the plot differently.


    However, now seeing Li Tao, Jia Hao realized that he was merely a side character, waiting for Li Tao to cuck him hard.


    After all, Unless someone is a veteran yer like Jia Hao, defeating a viin in Urban Fantasy''s bad ending route is the same as engineers doing actual engineering.


    '' Su Family''spany name is Blue Crystal Corporation. In the future, there will be a situation where Su Yunqi needs to pay 10 Million yuan in cash. But she didn''t have that much money.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Back in the game, a yer would have been given three choices.


    [1] Give her 10 Million Yuan cash which you found in your parent''s secret vault.


    [2] Go to a nearby mountain and unearth a Green Crystal Jade and give it to Su Yunqi.


    [3] Do Nothing.


    But currently, Jia Hao can''t simply pull 10 million yuan out of nowhere, nor does he know where he can find a Green Crystal Jade. After all, the game simply gives the choice without giving too much of a backstory.


    Even Jia Hao, who knew almost all the plots across the game felt distressed when he looked at Li Tao.


    '' Even if it''s a bad ending route, he should have appeared three monthster. Why is he here now?'' Jia Hao clenched his fist as he looked at him.


    Li Tao, an antique broker, a huge pervert and leecher. If done nothing, he would definitely put his dirty paws on Su Familydies.


    Not to mention, Jia Hao didn''t dare to use violence against him. After all, like all bad side characters, Li Tao got dog shit luck. There were nine out of ten chances that he would escape.


    Currently, Jia Hao is a sad existence of a side character, whose fate is to watch Su Familydies get destroyed by Li Tao. However, the current Jia Hao was unwilling to let it happen.


    " Huh? Hao''er, Why do you look so pale? Are you..." Su Lan looked at Jia Hao as she asked with some concern.


    " No...Nothing, Big Sis Su. It''s fine. I was just thinking about something." Jia Hao hurriedly spoke. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.


    " Aunt Su, That person there...Has hee to meet you?" Jia Hao asked Su Yunqi.


    Su Yunqi also noticed Li Tao from a distance as her face turned stiff. " Yeah, I guess so. There were some hups in ourpany recently. So, he came here to see me."


    " How about sending him away for now?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi.


    " But he is right here. We can''t send him back like that." Su Yunqi shook her head. " Why? Do you know Mr. Li Tao?"


    " Not really. But, I just don''t like seeing his face." Jia Hao sighed. "Besides, You can say we just came from a funeral. You need some rest, Aunt Su."


    " Since you are so insisting..." Su Yunqi thought for a moment as she nodded. " Lan''er, Xing''er, Bring Hao''er into the house."


    " Yes, Mom."


    " Jia Hao,e with us."


    Su Xing''er held Jia Hao''s arm and dragged him in.


    " Xing''er, Do you want to break my arms?"


    " Hmph, Who told you to be so weak?" Su Xing''er''s lips curled upward as she looked at Jia Hao. " Listen, If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, alright? I will beat the shit out of them."


    " Xing''er, Why are you so violent?" Su Lan''er shook her head. " You always tease Hao''er like that."


    " Well, I am not like you, Big Sis." Su Xing''er pouted. " Besides, I am doing this to toughen up Jia Hao."


    " Sure you are." Jia Hao gave a side nce to Su Xing''er.


    " Hao''er, Use the guest room for now. The other room, We will clean itter, alright?" Su Lan smiled at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao was stunned when he looked at Su Lan''s smile. It was like shepletely inherited the gentleness of Su Yunqi.


    The mansion was big with several rooms. Jia Hao also noticed two maids who took care of everything. Soon, Su Yunqi came back, but her expression wasn''t good.


    However, Looking at Jia Hao, she smiled. " Hao''er, are you feeling ok here? Aunt shall prepare some vegetable stir fry for you, alright?"


    " Did you send Li Tao away?" Jia Hao asked, masking off his anxiety.


    " En, He went back. He said he wille back in three days." Su Yunqi sighed. " Hao''er..."


    " Aunt Su, I am feeling a bit tired. Can I go and sleep?"


    " Oh? Sure." Su Yuqni hurriedly nodded as she caressed his hair. " Just rx and befortable here, alright? If you face any problem, tell me right away."


    " Yes, Aunt Su."


    *SMOOCH*


    Jia Hao was stunned when Su Yunqi kissed his forehead. " Good boy. Just keep listening to Aunt, alright?"


    " En..."


    Rubbing his forehead, Jia Hao saw Su Yunqi going back. Looking at her plump ass swaying, Jia Hao got an erection instantly.


    " Whoa...Calm down, little brother." Jia Hao smiled wryly as he looked at his pants. " You will get some good foodter, alright?"


    Falling on thefy bed, all the fatigue of Jia Hao rushed into his head, making him sleepy.


    However, thinking about Li Tao, he was worried.


    '' Fuck, I came into the game world, Where is my system? There is no way I can select the choices of Urban Fantasy now!''


    '' Fellow traveler brothers, I guess I became a shame of transmigrators.''


    As he was sighing and adjusting his room, he looked at a strange item stand holder in his bag.

 Chapter 5: An Unknown World

    <h4>Chapter 5: An Unknown World</h4>


    He already had enough bad memories regarding the various bad endings in the game. It drove countless yers of Urban Fantasy to insanity, making the poprity of the game drop like a falling meteor.


    However, Jia Hao persisted as he yed the game for years.


    But even a skilled wife can''t cook without rice. Without the system, Jia Hao''s options be very limited.


    '' I already got three days of time. In these three days, I must do whatever I can to get ten million yuan or a Crystal Green Jade stone.'' Jia Hao spoke in his mind as his eyes became heavy.


    Rolling on the bed, he slowly fell asleep. He didn''t notice the strange item stand vanished from its spot


    .


    .


    .


    " Huh? Where is this?"


    Jia Hao opened his eyes as he suddenly looked around himself. He felt pitch ck darkness around him, along with a strange gray mist giving off a strange vibe.


    '' Am...Am I floating? Where the hell is this ce?'' Jia Hao frowned. '' Am I back in Netherworld? No, I don''t think so.''


    '' Then...''


    Suddenly, his eyes focused on a dimly glowing object nearby, gleaming with a strange multicolored radiance. Jia Hao propelled himself towards it as he realized it was a small pot.


    '' Wait, Wasn''t this ornamental pot something that was used by Jia Hao as an item stand? Why does it look so different now?''


    Jia Hao was shocked as he could see a torch, two erasers, one pencil, and a chocte bar inside it.


    In original Jia Hao''s memory, it was something his dad purchased from a street antique stall for ten yuans. However, it looked more luxurious and antique than before.


    If someone wants to exin, he would say it''s like how a block of bronze turned into a beautiful piece of treasure.


    It was a strange looking pot, like a small square cauldron with three legs, and strange patterns all over it.


    The moment Jia Hao touched it, a multi colored light erupted from it and enveloped his body.


    " Wha the hell?! Where is it dragging me to?!"


    Jia Hao understood the situation instantly as he went through a simr situation too many times. It was a space time jump.


    '' Fuck! I just came to an ideal world like Urban Fantasy just now! Where is this shitty pot taking me to?''


    " Wuuu...Su Yunqi, Su Lan and Su Xing''er...I couldn''t taste anyone!''


    '' Fuck this shitty luck! I want to lodge aint!''


    *BOOOOM*


    Suddenly, the world brightened as Jia Hao felt hended on soft grasses. Looking in front of him, his eyes widened.


    It was a dark forest, with strange dark trees with twisted branches pointed towards the dusky sky. Jia Hao felt an aching pain as he looked at his surroundings which looked like a strange dark forest.


    *KIEERRK! KIEERRK!*


    Jia Hao was shocked when he heard the strange and aggrieved noises. But what made him shocked was the group of dark, dwarf like creatures with pointy noses and gleaming eyes.


    " They...They are looking like dark goblins? Wh-Where the hell am I? There are no monsters in Urban Fantasy''s normal plotline though" Jia Hao was shocked, but he quickly recovered himself.


    After all, He was someone who went to theherworld eight times. What kind of torture and monsters he didn''t see there? Ghosts, demons, devils, and even most terrifying the Monarch of Netherworld King Yanluo, each were more terrifying than any of goblins here.


    Even the most hideous looking Ox Headed guard became friends with Jia Hao out of sympathy. Not to mention the demon lurking in the abyssal well. After a few times, Jia Hao got adjusted to them.


    But, Suddenly, he saw a light shing as a girl wearing violet robes shed out her sword. The sword ray shed as it killed a dark goblin. However, the girl trembled as she coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    With her long hair flowing like a dark river, her entire body emanated a heroic aura. She looked like a proud female martial artist with the sword in her hands, which glowed with a sharp aura.


    " Filthy beasts of darkness! How...How dare you to encroach on ournd?!" The girl spoke in a strangenguage. However, Jia Hao could understand itpletely.


    *JIEJIEJIEJIE*


    With an eerieughter, dark smoke appeared as a dark goblin wearing a hood appeared, looking at the girl with a terrible gaze.


    " What a fine woman. Tonight, we are going to celebrate such a tender body and flesh..." Although the voice was cracked, the hooded dark goblin spoke like a human.


    " Dark st!"


    " Damn it!"


    A cone of dark energy shot toward the girl as the girl tried to block it. Her sword shed as she shed the dark energy into two. However, as she was taking a break, the ground shook as a pitch ck puddle of darkness appeared under her feet.


    The girl''s expression changed as she jumped, shifting her body a few meters instantly. Dark spikes shot from the ground where she was standing. But then, she got attacked by the magic of the hooded dark goblin again.


    She was already very injured as she got sted back,nding beside Jia Hao.


    " Fuck! What the fuck is happening?"


    Jia Hao finally panicked when he saw the strong looking girl kneeling beside him. She was also stunned as she looked at Jia Hao, not knowing there was someone else here along with her.


    Jia Hao panicked as he tried to grab something around him to protect himself.


    " Get up! Powerful sister! You have to protect me!!" Jia Hao urged. The girl also tried to get up, but she couldn''t.


    " I...I don''t have much energy left. Hurry up and give me some...medicines." The girl panted.


    " I don''t have anything!" Jia Hao almost cried out. How the hell he could give her any medicines out of nowhere?


    " KRRIEK! KRIEEKK!"


    The dark goblins held short weapons as they shot toward them. The girl clenched her teeth as she suddenly saw a cylindrical object in Jia Hao''s hands.


    " Wait! Sister, That''s a torch..."


    But before Jia Hao could do anything, the torch light shone like a miniature sun in the dark forest.


    And after that...


    *PZZT PZZT*


    Both Jia Hao and the girl became shocked when they saw the bodies of dark goblins turning into dust as the torchlight touched their bodies. The hooded dark goblin''s expression changed as he turned around and ran.


    " Run! Run!! It''s holy energy! You must ru-"


    " DIEE! FILTHY BASTARDS!" The girl felt her anger erupting as she swung the torch like a lightsaber.


    *ZZRT ZZZT!*


    How can the goblin move faster than light? Only after a few secondster, piles of dark ashes and some bones remained. Even the hooded goblin perished instantly.


    " Haah! Haah! What the fuck was that?" Jia Hao''s chest rose and fell as he looked at the scene with bewilderment.


    However, before he could do anything else, the girl hugged him tightly as she leaned forward, pressing her lips on Jia Hao''s lips passionately.


    " Mnnnphff?!!"


    Jia Hao was stunned as he didn''t expect to get kissed like that out of nowhere. Not to mention, the girl''s body was very hot and gave off a strange and sweet scent.


    " Please...help me...It''s so hot... I can''t take it anymore."


    Jia Hao was stunned as he understood the situation immediately. Springing forward, he took off his clothes instantly.


    " At your service, Miss!"

 Chapter 6: Pot of Miracle

    <h4>Chapter 6: Pot of Miracle</h4>


    The torchlight illuminated the dark caves, revealing its arousing spring scenery.


    Jia Hao and the girl''s clothes were lying far, and their naked bodies entangled with each other with passion and lust.


    Gently sucking off the ample bosom, Jia Hao''s hips moved vigorously, making the girl moan in pleasure.


    The girl moved as she wrapped her arms around Jia Hao''s neck, pressing her further on her soft chest as she felt like her lower body was bing numb.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnnn!"


    " Haah! Haah...Miss... I am about to..."


    " Yes... Go ahead..."


    Jia Hao and the girl kissed again, their tongues twisted with each other like serpants. The girl closed her eyes as her breathing became hard, feeling the warm essence of Jia Hao filling her sacred well.


    Jia Hao felt all of his energy was spent instantly as he rested on the chest of the girl. The dark cave was simply filled with a strange smell, along with the joyous sounds of a man and woman.


    " I...Uh..."


    Jia Hao slowly got up and rolled to the side, sitting on the cold floor and assessing the situation. Seeing the red stain on the ground, he was shocked,


    " It''s alright...Thank you for saving my life." The girl opened her eyes and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Uh...Actually, I don''t know what is happening here..."


    "Those damned bastards. To think they gave us wrong information about the monsters." The girl clenched her teeth as she spoke in a cold void. " And those monsters, they even drugged me with aphrodisiac."


    " Thank goodness you came and saved me. Otherwise..." The girl closed her eyes as she shuddered from the terrible possibility. " But where did you get such powerful holy treasure?"


    " Holy treasure? You mean this?"


    Jia Hao held the torch as he showed to the girl. The girl was startled. " Eh? Where is the holy energy?"


    Jia Hao saw the surface of the torch changed greatly, having a smooth white surface and a golden convex ss. However, to him, the torchlight was nothing special.


    The girl took the torchlight and turned it on. This time, rather than white light, the torch gave off a golden yellow light. Even Jia Hao could feel a trace of gentle warmth on his skin as the light fell on his body.


    " This...This is strange. Why can I use this treasure while you can''t?" The girl was also confused.


    " I don''t know...I don''t know anything." Jia Hao murmured he tried toprehend the situation.


    *GRUMBLE!*


    Jia Hao took a step back when he heard the sound. But then, he saw the girl''s cheek turning red as she took her clothes and covered her body. " It...It looks like all of my internal energy was spent after fighting with those monsters. And...I am hungry, I guess."


    " Ah, Wait a bit." Jia Hao took out a chocte bar and passed it to the girl after unwrapping it. The girl held it and sniffed it. " What''s this? It smells good."


    After she took a bite, her eyes became wide open as she hurriedly ate it in one go. Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from her body as her sword, which was lying a few meters away from her, flew into her hand.


    " My energy...I fully recovered my energy!" The girl was shocked as she looked at Jia Hao with aplicated expression.


    " Uhh? Really?" Jia Hao took out another chocte bar and ate it hurriedly. However, other than tasting the rich vor of chocte, he felt nothing else.


    '' Holy shit! What sort of scam is this?'' Jia Hao became mad instantly. An ordinary torch became a holy lightsaber and a bar of chocte recovered the girl''s energy.


    But when he used both of them, there was no effect?


    " Beautiful Sister, My name is Jia Hao. And you are..."


    " Cai Lingzhi. My name is Cai Lingzhi, the young miss of Nanhei Mountain''s Cai Family." Cai Lingzhi cupped her fist as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " And...If you don''t mind..." Cai Lingzhi blushed as she looked away. " Can You wear your clothes?"


    " Ahh!"


    Jia Hao felt his cheeks burning in shame as he hurried and put on his pants and shirt. Cai Lingzhi looked at him with a strange gaze. "I''ve never seen such strange clothes. Young Master Jia, Where are you from?"


    " I am...from a very far away ce." Jia Hai rubbed his forehead as he answered.


    Thanks to his continuous unsessful reincarnations, Jia Hao''s adaptability towards any situation became monstrous. Looking at the clothes and ent of Cai Lingzhi, he felt like it was some sort of primitive and ancient world.


    Yet, everything here is simply extraordinary, be it the existence of energy, martial artists, and monsters, nothing is normal here.


    " This treasure, I wonder how much it canst. After all...It doesn''t absorb my energy while using it. So, It must be some sort of one time treasure." Cai Lingzhi turned off the torch as she held it with fascination.


    " Uh...I think it''s already half spent." Jia Hao saw a small golden bar on the torch which was already emptied half. If his guessing was correct, the moment the bar bes empty, the torch will die.


    " So, Miss Cai, I hope you won''t mind taking me out of this ce since you have recovered your energy?"


    " Sure, Young Master Jia." Cai Lingzhi nodded as she sheathed her sword. " Since I have recovered my energy and am no longer affected by the drugs, I can simply take you out of the forest."


    " Thank you for this, Miss Jia. I shall wait for you outside. So, Please take your time and...get ready."


    " Oh..."


    Cai Lingzhi blushed as she turned around, showing her wless bare back to Jia Hao. Jia Hao felt he might not be able to control himself, so he turned around and walked out of the cave.


    " Haah...Where in the godforsaken ce I am?" Jia Hao sighed as he looked at the piles of dust before him, which used to be the bodies of dark goblins.


    But suddenly, his forehead shed as the small square pot jumped out. Using its three legs like a trotting puppy, it rushed towards the piles of dark ashes and ate something out of it.


    " WHOA?! WHAT THE FUCK!"


    Jia Hao got a mini heart attack when he saw that. However, the square pot ignored him and kept eating something out of the ashes. After that, it walked to the ce where the hooded dark goblin died. There, it took out a shiny gem and ate it.


    *DINGGG!*


    The pot shone with a faint light as it rushed toward Jia Hao, jumping and disappearing into his forehead.


    In the boundless expanse of primordial chaos, where heaven and earth entwine in a dance of undivided unity, the seeds of creation stir. Within the silent bubbling of the cosmos, the celestial and terrestrial, Yin and Yang ruled by the Grand Dao, giving birth to the inexhaustible wonders of existence.


    Pot of Miracles, a wonder of heaven and earth, can transform the mundane into heavenly, can curse an emperor into a pauper.


    Jia Hao''s head buzzed as the voice rang in his heart, and he got a small amount of information about this pot.


    '' If I bring back something from the modern world to this world, the item would evolve into wonderous treasures. However, the preciousness of treasure depends upon luck.''


    '' The Pot of Miracle is broken, and it needs energy to recover. Unless it reaches the thirdyer of recovery, I can''t use any treasure I brought from the modern world.''


    '' Restrictivews will apply if I bring something that carries a huge amount of causality. Simrly, if I bring back something from this world to the modern world, it will be activated.''


    ''Currently, A dozen simr crystals like this to recover the pot to the firstyer.''


    Jia Hao rubbed his forehead as he digested the information.


    " Fuck this. Even in this world, I can''t use my treasures actively.'' Jia ao grumbled.


    But then, in such a scary world, he felt he would rather be a side character and let other people do the work for him.


    And the first candidate that came to his mind was none other than the beautiful Cai Lingzhi.

 Chapter 7: Troubles of Cai Family

    <h4>Chapter 7: Troubles of Cai Family</h4>


    *SWISH SWISH!*


    " KRIIEKK!"


    " Damned things! Just die!"


    Cai Lingzhi''s figure moved gracefully as her sword moved like arcs of wind. After a minute, four dark colored dogs with three eyes diced into pieces.


    " There are Dark Furred Hounds. Since it''s the Twisted Dark Forest, these Dark Furred Hounds are verymon. Dealing with one is nothing. But if a pack of themes, it will be much more difficult." Cai Lingzhi looked at Jia Hao and exined.


    " But to me, even three packs are nothing. After all, I am an Apprentice Swordsman."


    From Cai Lingzhi, Jia Hao got a basic idea of this new world. This world is called Yun Continent and they are in Great Yan Kingdom. As for the exact location, they are in the Western Province''s Nanhai Mountain Range.


    Cai Lingzhi''s family is one of the great families of Nanhai City, which is one of the Seven Great Cities of the Great Yan Kingdom.


    In this world, mystical power exists and these wielders of mystical powers can live for thousands of years, and split the mountains and sea with ease.


    However, unlike the conventional system, the power system is pretty different here.


    Cai Lingzhi took out a small tube and blew it. Soon, a strange sound echoed through the forest. Jia Hao was surprised when he saw that.


    However, within a minute, three such sounds echoed throughout the forest. Cai Lingzhi''s eyes brightened when she heard that. " It''s good! My father already sent the guards to protect us. Let''s go, we are safe now."


    After following Cai Lingzhi, Jia Hao could hear the trotter of many horses. Soon, a dozen horsemen wearing ancient armor with silver chainmail appeared before them. An old man jumped from the horseback and knelt before Cai Lingzhi with one knee.


    " Old Yang is here, Second Lady Cai. Please forgive this ve. I was unable to protect you."


    " Get up, Uncle Yang. It''s not your fault." Cai Lingzhi''s face turned calm as she looked at her. " What about the Niu Family? Are they still in our mansion?"


    " Yes, Youngdy Lingzhi." Old Yang sighed. " They are already there with the marriage contract in their hands. And, I believe the First Lady might agree to it."


    " No way! Why would elder sister agree to marry that scumbag?" Cai Lingzhi snorted. "Besides, Didn''t Father say it would be an open marriage? They aren''t giving any face to us, huh?"


    " Anyway, Second Miss, Everyone is worried about you in the house. Please hurry and return." Old Yang finally noticed Jia Hao who was standing in his modern dress. " And this boy is..."


    " He is Jia Hao. He saved from the group of dark goblins and a dark goblin shaman."


    " Dark Goblins? Here?!" Old Yang''s expression changed. " Damn it, To think they would appear here."


    Cai Lingzhi waved her hands. " We shall discuss itter. Currently, we need to return to the city fast."


    Jia Hao remained silent as he could barely piece the information together. Cai Lingzhi jumped and got up on a horse. Old Yang walked toward Jia Hao with another horse.


    " Uhh...I..." Jia Hao was speechless as he looked at the horse. He felt it would be very embarrassing if he said he didn''t know how to ride a horse. However, he felt like he couldn''t hide it.


    Fortunately, Cai Lingzhi noticed it, and she was a bit surprised. " Young Noble Jia, could it be...You don''t know how to ride a horse?"


    " Hehe, I am really embarrassing myself." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Come, Sit behind me." Cai Lingzhi spoke in a light voice.


    " Mydy!"


    " Second Miss!"


    Everyone was shocked when they heard Cai Lingzhi. Cai Lingzhi understood as her face turned a bit red. " I... I mean, I would help him to..."


    " No need for that." Old Yang shook his head. " Noble Jia, Come with me. You can sit with me. This horse can easily carry both of us."


    '' Damn, Old geezer. You ruined the entire mood.'' Jia Hao was speechless, but he didn''t dare to mess with Old Yang.


    " Ahhh! It''s so fast!"


    Jia Hao nearly screamed out as the horse sprinted like a wind gale. Jia Hao felt like he was sitting on a sports bike as Old Yang rode the horse with experienced hands.


    These horses looked more muscr and robust, much better than any horse Jia Hao had seen on racing tracks. Soon, the dark forest changed into a lush green forest and Jia Hao could see a majestic ancient city before his eyes.


    The streets were wide and filled with people wearing ancient clothing. As the cavalry passed, everyone gave way to them.


    " Look! It''s Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry!"


    " The Second Miss! The Second Miss is back!"


    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the reaction of the people, It looks like the Cai Family is really a renowned family in this city.


    Soon, they arrived in a giant mansion through the back gates. Cai Lingzhi jumped from her horse as she rushed forward.


    As Jia Hao was appreciating the surroundings, suddenly, his heart chilled as a cold aura swept over him.


    Turning around, his gaze met with a fierce gaze, making Jia Hao statue on the spot.


    In front of him stood a burly middle aged man with a thick beard covering his neck. His entire body was like a barbarian with a fierce aura suppressed around him.


    " Are you the person who saved my youngest daughter?"


    " I...Uh...Yeah?"


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt he was suffocating under extreme pressure as the man gazed at him.


    " Father! What are you doing?!" Cai Lingzhi shouted. " He is an ordinary person! He doesn''t have any internal qi!"


    " What?"


    Suddenly, the pressure vanished, and the middle aged man was surprised. " You are saying he is an ordinary mortal?"


    " Yes! Now stop scaring him!" Cai Lingzhi red at her father. " His name is Jia Hao, he came from...A farawaynd."


    " Farawaynd?" The man frowned. " Is he from Westen border?"


    " I don''t think so." Cai Lingzhi shook her head. " However, He truly saved my life. Therefore, You can''t mistreat him, ok?"


    " As you say, Dear." The middle aged man sighed as he nced at Jia Hao. " My name is Cai Yunhai, I am the Patriarch of the Cai Family. Since you saved my daughter, I will reward you generously."


    " Young Noble Jia, Pleasee with me." Cai Lingzhi looked at Jia Hao and smiled lightly.


    " Yes, Miss Cai Lingzhi." Jia Hao nodded as he followed her.


    The mansion was pretty grand. It was like Jia Hao looking at an ancient yet advanced civilization of the eastern continent.


    " Xue''er, You know you don''t need to ept this marriage."


    " Mother, You also know what will happen if we don''t ept this marriage." A gentle voice of ady answered. " Not only it will give the Imperial Family a chance to reduce our army, but the Niu Family will also have a chance to retaliate against us."


    " Currently, the financial situation of Cai Family isn''t good. Therefore, I have to marry into the Niu Family."


    " Sister, You can''t be stubborn like that." Cai Lingzhi walked forward as she shouted. " If that Niu Family bastard is so capable, why doesn''t hee to marry you in open marriage selection?"


    " Lingzhi?"


    Jia Hao followed her and saw two more beautiful women sitting before him. One looked slightly aged, with some white hair covering her ck hair.


    The otherdy looks much younger yet mature. However, she also looked dignified, making people stay a few feet away and look at her with respect.


    " Lingzhi, You know it''s not possible." Cai Yixue looked at Cai Lingzhi and shook her head. She took out a parchment and showed it to her.


    " This was marked by our father''s internal qi on this Thousand Year old Peach Paper." Cai Lingzhi smiled bitterly. " Unless we burn this parchment, it won''t be destroyed. And if we burn it, we will fall right into Niu Family''s trap."


    Cai Yunhai stomped his feet in anger. " That bastard Niu Feng. To think he will make me drunk with Moon Mist Wine and make me sign on the betrothal papers."


    " Hmph! How many times have I told you not to mix with those bastards? A single mistake years ago, and look how it''s going to affect us!" Her wife chided, making Cai Yunhai turn red with anger and shame.


    Jia Hao became curious as she leaned forward and looked at the parchment. Cai Yunxia''s gaze fell on his body as she was a bit startled.


    " Perhaps you are Jia Hao, Who saved my sister?" Cai Yixue asked in a mild voice as she stood up and bowed. " I am truly thankful that you saved my sister from danger."


    " It was really nothing." Jia Hao hurriedly spoke. " Besides, It was rather Miss Lingzhi who kept me safe from the monsters."


    As his gaze fell on the parchment, he saw two stamps in the end. And, he saw one of them matched with the insignia of the Cai Family.


    " Haah, Only if we could say this certificate is fake." The mother of Cai Lingzhimented. " Yet, It''s simply impossible to do so."


    " Hmph, I wish I could just rush to that bastard Niu Feng and rip him apart!"


    " Don''t! That''s what he wants us to do!"


    Jia Hao suddenly remembered something as he waved his hands, and took out something from his Pot of Miracles.


    " Uhh...Didn''t you just say the marks can''t be erased?" Jia Hao pointed at the paper.


    When everyone looked at the paper, their eyes almost popped out,


    " What the fuck?!"

 Chapter 8: Super Eraser! Sage’s Divine Eyes

    <h4>Chapter 8: Super Eraser! Sage''s Divine Eyes</h4>


    '' Hmm, The torchlight turned into an artifact of shining holy light and the chocte turned into super energy recovery medicine. I still have an eraser, right?'' Jia Hao''s eyes shed with a strange light as he thought about the eraser and it appeared in his hands.


    Holding the parchment, Jia Hao looked at the eraser and saw it had changed quite a bit. It looked barely an inch long but felt more soft and spongey.


    " Miss Yixue, Can you rub this on patriarch Cai''s signature?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue and asked.


    " Huh? What''s that?" Cai Yixue held the eraser as she looked at it curiously.


    Meanwhile, Cai Lingzhi and her parents were having a heated debate among themselves.


    " Let''s just go ahead with our earlier n! Who can even take on us with our military might?"


    " Damn it! Can''t you understand? The other family will use this chance to fight back against us. Besides, even if you want to annul the marriage, the Niu Family would probably demand our two Xuan Iron mines and Fragrant Medicine Store."


    " Hmph, You think we should just give them just because of their demands?"


    " Oh, You don''t understand politics at all, do you?"


    Meanwhile, Cai Yixue''s expression changed as she rubbed the eraser over the signature of his father. " This...This is...impossible..."


    Suddenly, she leaned forward and rubbed the eraser on the signature vigorously. Thanks to that movement, Jia Hao could see the deep ravine between her mountains as they jiggled.


    " How...How is this possible?" Cai Yixue was stunned as she held the parchment with a dumbfounded face.


    Jia Hao walked beside her and looked at the betrothal contract. His eyes brightened when he saw the end results. Taking the contract, Jia Hao cleared his throat and spoke, " Everyone...Please look at this."


    " Does this thing help you?"


    " Huh?"


    " What?"


    Cai Yunhai''s gaze fell on the contract Jia Hao was showing. Suddenly, his face turned nk as he stared at it. Not only him, but Cai Lingzhi and her mother were also stunned.


    Suddenly, like a gust of wind, Cai Yunhai appeared before Jia Hao and snatched the contract, and looked at it thoroughly.


    " Oh my! How did this happen?" Cai Yunhai''s wife was shocked as she looked at it. " How is it possible to erase the mark of internal qi from a Thousand Year old Peach Paper?"


    " Yo-Young Mas- Brother Jia, You really did it!" Cai Lingzhi rushed toward Jia Hao and held his hands. " You helped us once again!"


    " Err, Was it that hard to erase the mark?" Jia Hao was a bit surprised as he asked in confusion.


    " Well, Brother Jia, it looks like you don''t know about it." Cai Lingzhi looked at Jia Hao and shook her head. After that, she exined why the mark of internal qi was so important.


    Like everyone''s fingerprint, everyone''s internal qi was different and recognizable in this world. Since Cai Yunhai signed his signature using his own internal qi, he couldn''t deny the content of the contract.


    Not to mention, Thousand Year old Peach paperes from thousand year old peach trees, which was very expensive. And since the quality of the paper is very high, it keeps the mark of internal qi very well.


    It''s easy to destroy the paper, but removing the mark is extremely hard and even top practitioners couldn''t do that.


    Yet, Jia Hao''s strange item managed to remove the signature imbued with Cai Yunhai''s internal qi neatly, as if there wasn''t any signature in the first ce.


    " HAHA! Brat. To think you were hiding such a devious treasure!" Cai Yunhaiughed out loud as he patted Jia Hao''s back.


    Jia Hao''s body shook violently as he stumbled forward. But, he felt he fell on a smooth and fragrant surface.


    Cai Lingzhi held Jia Hao before he could fall down. " Father! Didn''t I tell you Brother Jia doesn''t have any internal energy? Can''t you treat him a bit softly?"


    " Uhh...Isn''t he too weak?" Cai Yunhai grumbled as he looked at Jia Hao. " Li Rou, What do you think?"


    " Hmph, Since this problem is solved, we can simply proceed with our old n." Li Rou, wife of Cai Yunhai spoke in a bright voice. " Jia Hao, is it? Since you helped both our daughters, how should we reward you?"


    " Eh? Reward?" Jia Hao was stunned as he didn''t expect any rewards. " Aunt Li, It''s really nothing. I just happened to have something that could help you in your situation. I don''t need any reward."


    " Haha, You got a warm heart, Little Jia." Li Rou smiled. " Lingzhi, take him to the guest room and arrange for his amodation."


    " Yes, Mother."


    Cai Lingzhi looked at Jia Hao and smiled lightly. " Follow me, Brother Jia. I will take you to your room."


    Jia Hao nodded as he followed Cai Lingzhi. As they entered a room, Cai Lingzhi turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    " You are truly a strange and suspicious individual."


    " Huh? Is Miss Lingzhi doubting me?"


    Jia Hao became wary as he took a step back. After all, he realized a single mistake in this ce might get him killed.


    " Should I not?" Cai Lingzhi looked at Jia Hao. " After all, Who would appear in the dark forest out of nowhere and produce a thing that can instantly kill dark creatures?"


    " A sweet that can instantly recover someone''s internal qi, an eraser that can remove a signature imbued with internal qi...You have so many strange treasures."


    Jia Hao didn''t say anything as he kept looking at Cai Lingzhi with a tense gaze.


    " However, You still saved me and helped the Cai Family in the end." Cai Lingzhi spoke in a light voice. " I can''t forget this favor, Brother Jia. Not to mention, you are truly a mortal and not faking it."


    " So, What does Miss Lingzhi wish to say?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Lingzhi.


    " Just don''t give me a reason to kill you, that''s all." Cai Lingzhi spoke in a light voice. " But, for now, do you need something? Our Cai Family is wealthy, you know?"


    Jia Hai realized that Cai Lingzhi wasn''t angry with her. But, his appearance was indeed pretty suspicious. And even after having sex, she couldn''t trust a stranger like Jia Hao at all.


    '' Wait, I am here in the ancient world, right? I can probably do that!'' An idea struck in Jia Hao''s brain as he looked at Cai Lingzhi.


    " Miss Cai Lingzhi, Do you have any monster cores? The shobey cores that drop from the corpses of monsters?"


    " Ah, Monster cores...Which grade monster cores do you need?" Cai Lingzhi was surprised. " Those things are very precious you know?"


    " Just give me whatever you can give to me." Jia Hao smiled lightly. " I am sure my help would be worth some monster cores, right?"


    A smile appeared on Cai Lingzhi''s face as she turned around. " Don''t worry, Brother Jia. I will send them to you soon."


    " Sister Lingzhi." Jia Hao suddenly called her. " Will you...Truly forget everything that happened in that cave?"


    Cai Lingzhi stopped as she bit her lips. " Well, Brother Jia, if you want me to keep remembering that...You have to be worthy."


    As she left, Jia Hao suddenly realized something. '' She is calling me Brother Jia instead of Young Noble Jia, right?''


    '' Does that mean our rtionship is closer now?''


    Soon, a servant came and presented Jia Hao with a small pouch. In the pouch, Jia Hao saw three white colored crystals, each asrge as a thumb.


    Currenly, Jia Hao had gained some master over the Pot of Miracles. With a thought, the ancient pot appeared in his hands.


    '' Well buddy, Let''s see if I can upgrade you with this.'' Jia Hao mumbled in his heart and threw the monster cores into the pot.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Ayer of scrap metal peeled off from the surface of the ancient pot as the various diagrams around it became even clearer.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt all his strength got sucked dry as his eyelids became heavy. Getting on the bed, he put the Pot of Miracle back inside his body and fell asleep.


    [ Firstyer recovery sessful! Sage''s Divine Eyes are activated! You have learned Appraisal! Enchantment Function is activated!]


    *GASSPP*


    Jia Hao gasped for air as he suddenly got out. Looking at his surroundings, he saw he was back in Su Family''s vi.


    " Ugh Do travelling through space time also burdens my body?" Jia Hao got up and stretched his body. Suddenly, he sniffed something delicious as he walked out of the room.


    " Hmm? Hao''er, I guess you woke up from your nap?" Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao and smiled. " Come, eat something."


    " Huh? Aunt Su, How much time passed since I went to sleep?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " Huh? Let me see...Around half an hour?"


    Jia Hao''s face turned strange. Does that mean time in Tianxiu World flows five times faster than this world?


    [ Stir Fried Vegetables with Noodles: Made by Su Yunqi. It can recover fatigue and hunger]


    A line of letters appeared above the food, giving Jia Hao a jumpscare.

 Chapter 9: Devious Plan Against Su Yunqi

    <h4>Chapter 9: Devious n Against Su Yunqi</h4>


    Jia Hao rubbed his eyes as he looked at his surroundings.


    [ Name: Su Yunqi]


    [ Human]


    [ Table: Made up of Mahogany Wood! Delicate design crafted by Southwood Crafting]


    [ Phone: IFone 18 Ultra Pro Supermax. A perfect replica of IFone 17 Ultra Pro Supermax with the only difference of adding a golden sticker logo]


    Jia Hao was amazed as he could see the various information of every item he saw. However, as he tried to use more and more of his ability, he felt a splitting headache, making all texts disappear instantly.


    " Ugh!!"


    " Hao''er! Are you alright?" Su Yunqi held Jia Hao out of concern as she asked worriedly.


    " Haha, Nothing. Nothing at all, Aunt Su." Jia Hao could feel the fragrance of Su Yunqi''s body as he hurriedly said. Taking his seat, he started to each the food.


    He realized the extent of his Sage''s Divine Eyes. It can simply reveal various information about anything he sees. The more precious the things, the less information would appear. For example, He can only see Su Yunqi''s name and her race. But looking at table, or food, he got more information.


    But Jia Hao felt he could naturally increase the ability of his divine eyes. As a passive effect, he felt his vision was very crisp and detailed, he could see anything in his hundred meter of radius like looking at 4K resolution.


    " Mmm...This...This is so delicious!" Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled with joy as he couldn''t help but eat another mouthful. " Gosh, It truly invokes so many memories."


    Su Yunqi sat beside him as she caressed Jia Hao''s head. " Silly boy, Eat slowly. The food isn''t going anywhere?"


    " Where is Sis Lan and brat Xing''er?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Oi, Who are you calling brat, huh?"


    *THUD*


    Jia Hao almost choked as he felt someone give a light chop on his head.


    " Xing''er!" Su Yunqi looked at Su Xing''er as she was speechless. " Can''t you see he is eating? How can you do that to him?"


    " Why did he call me a brat?" Su Xing''er snorted as she sat beside Jia Hao. Suddenly, she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of fried chicken from Jia Hao''s bowl.


    " Hey! That''s mine!"


    " Then why didn''t you eat that?"


    " Because I was saving it for thest." Jia Hao was speechless. Su Xing''er showed her teeth, " Then it''s your fault. You should have eaten it before."


    " Su Xing''er!"


    Su Yunqi looked at the bickering of Su Xing''er and Jia Hao. However, seeing Jia Hao no longer depressed, Su Yunqi gave a warm smile.


    " Alright, Xing''er. I will prepare another bowl for you."


    " No need, I don''t have much appetite right now. I will eat from his." Su Xing''er chuckled.


    Jia Hao sighed. " Aunt, give me one more portion then."


    " Haha, Very well."


    After giving Jia Hao more, Su Yunqi got up and walked away, leaving Su Xing''er and Jia Hao together.


    Looking at Su Xing''er, she is obviously a tomboy. Yet her charm was simply different from Su Lan and Su Yunqi. She possessed a very attractive body, with well proportioned curves. She was more like a youthful and lively girl with the physique of an athlete, giving off the aura of charm and energy.


    With her short shoulder length hair and bright eyes filled with a bit of mischievousness, she looked way better and livelier than her character card in Urban Fantasy.


    '' However, If Li Tao manages to grab Su Yunqi, he will take Su Xing''er as his next target.''


    Jia Hao clenched his fist as he remembered all the routes in the game regarding Su Xing''er. Whether she appeared solo or as part of the Su Family, if it was a bad route, the ending would be pretty tragic.


    Such a beautiful and energetic girl slowly falling into the abyss of despair and corruption, being the pleasure tool of people like Li Tao and others. Jia Hao remembered he almost threw out his phone out of frustration.


    And the scene art card where Su Xing''er was getting humiliated was simply adding lime, salt, and pepper on a fresh wound.


    '' If things had gone the original way, Jia Hao would be nothing more than a cuck who would have witnessed the destruction of Su Family. However, Since now I am here...Hehe, Let''s see who dares to mess with me now.''


    '' Li Tao, Oh Li Tao...You think you are the main character of that route, huh? I will show you the price you are going to pay after making me cuck so much in the game.''


    " Hao! Jia Hao!"


    " Ah, Yes?" Jia Hao snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at Su Xing''er who was calling him.


    " Are you...really alright?" Su Xing''er''s voice became soft as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Hmm? What do you mean?"


    " I... I know you must be very saddened and empty after uncle and aunt passed away. I...I know we can''t fill this void." Su Xing''er looked away as she kept speaking.


    " However, We are still friends, right?" She looked at Jia Hao and held his hands. " No matter what, You can tell me anything, whether you are feeling lonely or depressed, I, Big Lan, and Mom are here."


    " Just...Don''t do anything stupid, ok?"


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard the words of Su Xing''er. Suddenly, his lips arched as he pinched the cheeks of Su Xing''er.


    " Well, I can see someone is being very caring today, huh?" Jia Hao smiled as he looked at Su Xing''er. " Well, Same to you, Xing''er."


    " Never hide anything from me, alright? No matter how embarrassing or shameful it is...If it''s bothering you, you can tell me right away."


    " Hmph, Talking like a big man, are you?" Su Xing''er grinned as she took another good piece of chicken from Jia Hao''s bowl.


    Jia Hao''s face darkened as he got up. " Know your limits, Xing''er. Just because I am being good to you doesn''t mean you take fried chicken from my bowl."


    " Heh, Showed your true color pretty quickly."


    " Hmph."


    As they finished eating, Jia Hao saw Su Yunqi walk out of her room after getting ready. Looking at her dress, it felt like she was going outside.


    Wiping his mouth, Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi and walked to her. " Aunt Su, Where are you going?"


    " Hm? I am currently going to the jade stone auction. I have some work there."


    Jia Hao''s heart trembled as he realized what was going to happen. The jade stone gamblingpletely depends on luck. And talking about the luck, Su Family is definitely unlucky.


    '' If everything goes like that, Li Tao would have probably nted his men there. Not only was Su Yunqi going to lose more money, Li Tao would probably collect ckmailing materials on her.''


    '' Hmph, I thought I finally had time for three days. But this bastard Li Tao is pushing hard, huh?''


    But then, Jia Hao''s lips curled as he remembered his newfound ability. " Aunt Su, If you don''t mind, Can I go with you?"


    " Are you sure?" Su Yunqi raised her eyebrows. " You might get bored there."


    " Nope, I want to go. I am feeling a bit stuffy here." Jia Hao rubbed under his nose. " Besides, It''s exciting to see the jade stone auction."


    " Haha, Alright. Get ready. We shall be leaving shortly."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Yes, Mr. Li, Ipletely understand." A manughed as he talked on the phone. " Not only I have arranged some fake appraiser, I even installed pin cameras in the resting room."


    " Hehe, No worries, Mr. Li, You know the situation here, right? There is no way Su Yunqi can escape." The man ended the call with a frown as he looked below.


    " Bitch, Didn''t you eat today? Suck my dick properly."


    " MMNPFF!"


    A girl kneeling before the man, with her mouth swallowing his rod. With a barf, she threw out a load of white fluid on the floor.


    " Tsk, Look at this bitch. You wasted my precious essence." The man snorted.


    " Mr. Hei, I am...sorry. But I need to go home." The girl trembled as her cheeks were stained with tears. " My boyfriend...He is waiting..."


    " Oh, Is that so? I thought you could stay here a bit more though?" Hei Zhu snorted as he clicked a photo of her. " Should I send him this image? You look pretty cute with my cum on your face though?"


    " No...No! Please, don''t!"


    " Then take off your panties and turn around." Hei Zhuughed. But suddenly, his phone rang and his expression changed.


    " Oh? Su Yunqi arrived?"

 Chapter 10: Jade Auction

    <h4>Chapter 10: Jade Auction</h4>


    Soon, A ck Mercedes arrived before arge building. Jia Hao and Su Yunqi got out of the car and went inside.


    As they reached the reception hall, a man came running with slightly messy clothing. " Haha, CEO Su is here. Wee to the Millennium Jade Auction. I am Li Xumin, the vice manager."


    Jia Hao looked at Lu Xumin as he couldn''t help but snort inwardly. After getting the Sage''s Divine Eyes, his memories got much sharper than before, like aputer.


    '' Li Xumin...This bastard is one of the subordinates of Li Tao. Hmm, He is a side character viin who already molested quite some girls. However, unlike Li Tao, he is quite unlucky as he got arrested after a girl found evidence against him and reported it to the police.


    '' However, That''s already a lotter, and this motherfucker already ruined so many girls till then.'' Jia Hao smiled at Li Xumin while nning his social murder.


    " I see. Hello, Mr. Xumin, I hope you know why I am here." Su Yunqi looked at Li Xumin with a calm gaze.


    " Of course, How can I not?" Li Xumin smiled brightly. " Please,e with me. We have received a batch of coarse stones right from Northern Mountain Range."


    " And this young man is..." Li Xumin looked at Jia Hao with some confusion.


    " He is Jia Hao...You can consider him as my son." Su Yunqi rubbed the head of Jia Hao as she smiled.


    Jia Hao became speechless at the speed he got a step mom. But it wasn''t like he wasining though. After all, He already had a lot of ns for his step mom and step sisters.


    " I am not a kid anymore. Why are you doing this..." He flushed a bit as he looked at Su Yunqi.


    " Aww, Don''t worry. In my eyes, you will always be my young and handsome child." Su Yunqi grinned. Her smile was simply intoxicating, making a lot of people attracted to her. Even Li Xumin could feel the rise of dark urges in his heart.


    '' Damn, No wonder that bastard Li Tao wants to make a video of her. Hehe...But asmission fees, should I not inspect the goods on behalf of Mr. Li Tao?'' Li Xuminughed in his heart as he turned around, gesturing for Su Yunqi and Jia Hao toe with him.


    " Here, These are the rocks that''s going to be auctioned an hourter. You can pick the code number of rocks of your choice and when ites for the auction, you can bid for them." Li Xumin exined.


    " Can''t we just buy some rocks directly from here?" Su Yunqi frowned a bit as she asked.


    " That would depend on the seller and the price of the rocks." Li Xumin smiled lightly. " After all, the premium quality rocks must be needed to be auctioned."


    " So, please take your time and look around as you like." Li Xumin pointed at an old man beside him. The old man looked haughty as he wore an old style clothing with a pair of round spectacles.


    " He is Master Hao. He is one of the experts who can detect the jade just by touching his hands on the surface of the rock."


    " Really? It sounds like a miracle." Su Yunqi felt a bit doubtful. Master Hao chuckled as he shook his head.


    " Miss, It''s our traditional practice. We use the palm technique, jade pulse detection, stone pulse detection, aura detection, divination, astrology, astronomy, and rocket science to detect jade inside the rock."


    '' And guess what? I have bullshit detection and my bullshit detection radar is ring.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    " Miss Su, You don''t need to worry about him. After all, He is a certified appraiser." Li Xumin smiled. " Please, have trust in us."


    " Well, I know many people won''t believe me." Master Hao chuckled as he walked forward. As he went to a nearby jade stone retailer, he started to look through the small stones.


    " Aha, This one... I want to buy this stone."


    " Are you sure?" The retailer asked. " This costs 5000 Yuan."


    " Well, Nothing much." Master Hao paid him money. " Now hurry and cut this stone."


    *After a while*


    " Oh my!"


    " Look there! Such a clear jade stone!"


    Even Su Yunqi was surprised when she saw the green piece inside the jade. " I guess Master Hao is really talented. I acknowledge your skills."


    Jia Hao almost facepalmed himself when he heard Su Yunqi. He felt like the IQ of girls really drops when the dangeres, or maybe it''s the effect of a bad ending trope?


    After that, Su Yunqi invited Master Hao and looked around the various rocks on the disy for the auction. Master Hao closed his eyes and rubbed his palm on the surface like caressing his wife''s ass, almost making Jia Hao kick him.


    '' Fucker! At least act properly!''


    He gave the code number of five rocks to Su Yunqi and then took his leave. Jia Hao looked at the estimated price of rocks and realized the total amount of the bid could exceed 20 Million Yuan, which was thest savings of Su Yunqi''s Blue Crystal Company.


    And remember, It was thepany funds, not her personal funds. Because her personal funds were pretty much depleted, thanks to the conspiracy of Li Tao.


    " Hao''er, what do you think? I think that Master Hao is pretty reliable." Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao.


    " Aunt, I believe none of the stones contains jade." Jia Hao responded tly.


    " What? Why did you say so?" Su Yunqi was surprised. Jia Hao shrugged. " Aunt Su, Think about this. They could easily profit more if they know which stones contains jade. But there, Li Xumin casually introduce to a renonwed jade detection master? Do you believe that?"


    " But that jade stone earlier..." Su Yunqi mumbled. " Besides, Other people also have their jade appraisers with them though?"


    " Well, Because they are their trusted appraiser? Can you trust Master Hao who you just met now?" Jia Hao stared at Su Yunqi.


    Other than the reasons he said, Jia Hao knew about the stones appraised by Master Hao being fake thanks to his Sage''s Divine Eyes. After all, when he looked at the stones approved by Master Hao, he got these texts.


    [ Mountain Stones: Stones mined from Northen teu. Empty inside]


    " Then what should we do?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but be a bit anxious. Jia Hao became amused as he indicated Su Yunqi toe close.


    " Aunt Su...Actually, I heard something." Jia Hao whispered. " I heard the code numbers of the stones which actually got jades inside them. Not to mention, there is also a stone that contains Green Crystal Jade in it."


    " What?! Green Crystal Jade?" Su Yunqi almost blurted loudly when she heard that. Suppressing her voice, she looked at Jia Hao. " Are you sure? Even a small piece of a size of an apple will fetch more than fifty million yuan!"


    " That''s why the authorities are keeping it a secret. They probably want to do a shady deal with it. But since we know that, we can take advantage of it." Jia Hao spoke in a righteous voice with a ''trust me fr'' attitude.


    " Hao''er, Are you sure?"


    " If you don''t believe it, we can purchase some small stones first and wait for the auction. Besides...The one with Green Crystal Jade isn''t a premium stone. So, we might buy that even cheap."


    Su Yunqi was shocked, but looking at Jia Hao''s attitude, She chose to believe him.


    " This one, This one...And that one." Jia Hao pointed at some of the smaller stones as his Sage''s Divine Eyes flickered.


    [ Mountain Stone: Stone mined from Northen teu. Contains Ordinary Green Jade]


    [ Mountain Stone: Stone mined from Northen teu. Contains Ordinary Green Jade]


    [ Mountain Stone: Stone mined from Northen teu. High quality Green Jade]


    Su Yunqi was shocked as the stones were cut opened. All three of of them had jades inside them, giving off a charming green light.


    " This... All of them are jade stones?" Su Yunqi was stunned for a moment.


    " I... I just spent 100,000 Yuan for them. Yet, I already recovered two million yuan." Although Su Yunqi doesn''t know how to check jades inside a stone, she certainly know the price range of these jades.


    Holding Su Yunqi''s hand, Jia Hao grinned. " So, Aunt Su, Do you believe me now?"


    " Yes, I do!" Su Yunqi became excited. Jia Hao took out a paper and wrote the codes of the stones which had premium quality of jades inside them. " Here, Aunt Su, Ask your manager to buy all these. And especially this one."


    " Hmm? Why? We can buy ourselves though?" Su Yunqi didn''t understand.


    " I just want to hurry and go home. Besides, It will attract too much attention if we get so many jades suddenly." Jia Hao spoke. But as he was speaking, A girl bumped with Su Yunqi, spilling the red wine on her dress.


    " Wh-What the hell!?" Su Yunqi was startled as her face turned a bit ugly. Suddenly, Li Xumin appeared out of nowhere as he scolded the waitress. " Dumb wench! You stained our guest''s dress."


    " Madame Su, Don''t worry. How about you go to our VIP suite and clean it? If you wish, we can bring a new dress too."


    Jia Hao''s eyes darkned as he realized what''s going to happen.


    '' Heh, But no way I am letting this to happen."

 Chapter 11: Trapping The Blackmailer

    <h4>Chapter 11: Trapping The ckmailer</h4>


    " Aunt Su, Are you alright?" Jia Hao held her as he asked in a calm voice. Sun Yunqi forced a smile. " Well, I won''t say I am not angry. I love this piece of dress, alright."


    " The suite is in this way. You there, Go and guide her to the VIP suite." Li Xumin snorted as he looked at the girl who dropped wine on Su Yunqi''s body.


    " I am really, really sorry, Miss Su. Please forgive me." The girl hurriedly spoke as she guided Su Yunqi and Jia Hao to a lounge.


    It was a pretty well decorated lounge, a living room, a bedroom, and the washroom connected.


    " Hao''er, Stay here. I will go and wash myself in the washroom. Then cheng my clothes, alright?" Su Yunqi smiled as she got up. However, Jia Hao held her hand from behind. " Aunt Su, Let me go too..."


    " Huh??!!"


    Su Yunqi blushed as she looked at Jia Hao. " Wh-What do you mean? I am...going to change clothes. You...You want to stare at me while I am changing?"


    Jia Hao was stunned as he hurriedly her go. " I... I didn''t mean that, Aunt Su!"


    But Su Yunqi was already blushing, imagining the strange situation with her slightly shivering body. " Then, What do you mean by that?"


    " Uhh, I just feel...This ce is suspicious." Jia Hao walked closer to her as he whispered. " Don''t you know? There has been a recent rise in cases of ckmailing of VIPs with their viral recording with pinhole cameras. I feel someone might set up some cameras here too."


    " What? How is that possible?" Su Yunqi was shocked. " This ce is very high end. I don''t think someone would dare to do that here?"


    " You would never know, Aunt Su." Jia Hao smiled. "Besides, A small trick will reveal the truth."


    " Alright?"


    Su Yunqi saw Jia Hao turn all lights off and turn on the shlight camera. He started to shine the lights through all the ces.


    " What are you doing, Hao''er?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but get curious.


    " Since the room is dark, if there is any pinhole camera or bug, it might reflect some light due to the lens." Jia Hao exined. " Besides, I am also checking the distortion in radio frequency. If there are any devices it will make our phone call fuzzy."


    Although Jia Hao only stated the methods, it couldn''t guarantee 100% of the effect. However, Using these reasons as a guise, He used his Sage''s Divine Eyes and his improved eyesight to notice any abnormalities.


    [ Pinhole Camera: Model no.1462. Distance 100 Meters]


    [ Pinhole Camera: Model no. 1778. Distance of 100 Meters]


    [ Two way Mirror: A mirror where a person on opposite site can see through and look at the other side clearly]


    Jia Hao''s face twitched as he walked near the wardrobe and *identally* made some tissues fall on the camera, making it blind.


    But suddenly, he felt two weight mountains pressed on his back, making his back feel a squishy pleasure. With a burst of fragrance, Su Yunqi leaned on the back of Jia Hao, to see what is he doing with so much focus.


    " So, You are saying there is a camera?" Su Yunqi''s face turned pale as Jia Hao took out another camera and swept it into a trashcan.


    " Also, Don''t use the washroom. The mirror there is two way mirror and the person in the opposite room can see and record youpletely."


    " These bastards! How dare they!" Su Yunqi trembled in rage even more when she remembered the smiling face of Li Xumin.


    Jia Hao''s gaze swept around the room as he nodded. " Now It''s safe. Aunt Su, You can change here while I am going to the washroom. Just call me after you change, ok?"


    " No, Wait."


    Jia Hao paused when he heard Su Yunqi''s request. " Hao''er, I am really feeling nervous now after seeing all those pinhole cameras. You...Can you stay here while I change?" Su Yunqi asked in a nervous voice.


    " Can I peek at you?"


    Su Yunqi blushed even more as she gave a light bonk to Jia Hao''s head. " No peeking is allowed. You are a good boy, ok?"


    But her heart thumped even more as strange thoughts appeared in her mind. '' Since when did he grow up so much? He is both capable and cheeky...''


    " Fine, Aunt Su." Jia Hao chucked as he sat on the sofa, and looked away from Su Yunqi. However, the sounds of clothes rustling down from her body and the imagination of Su Yunqi being naked made Jia Hao rock hard.


    '' Calm down! Let''s take one step at a time. Calm down, I said calm the fuck down boner kun!''


    As Jia Hao was regting his breath, with a short pitched scream, someomended on his body.


    " KYAAAH!~"


    " Wh-What?!"


    Before Jia Hao could do anything, He saw Su Yunqi jumping on him, making him pin down below her.


    She only wore her undergarments, with her bouncy breasts covered withcy violet bra pressed on Jia Hao''s face.


    " Cock...Cockroach! There is a cockroach!" Su Yunqi''s face flushed with shame and embarrsment as she uttered those words.


    " Aunt Su... Can you...get up a bit?"


    " Ahh! I am... I am sorry, Hao''er!" Su Yunqi realized the situation as she got up. However, out of panic, she couldn''t understand if she should hide her body or not.


    Jia Hao got up and saw a small cockroach crawling around the corner. He felt like the cockroach giving him a thumbs up.


    '' Brother Roach, you are real homie. To think you will perform such a ssic trope for me. I pray you reincarnated into a better life next time.''


    Jia Hao cupped his fist before the cockroach before grabbing it and throwing it outside of the window.


    " Is...Is it gone?"


    " Yeah, It is." Jia Hao nodded. But his face froze as he saw Su Yunqi''s gaze was focused on the tent in his pants.


    " Au-Aunt Su! It''s...It''s not what it looks like!" Jia Hao hurriedly spoke, while making no attempt to hide it.


    '' Go ahead, Aunt Su, look at as much as you like.'' His heart spokepletely opposite of his mouth.


    " It''s...Alright, Hao''er. I have finished dressing up." Su Yunqi''s cheeks were red like an apple as she hurriedly wore the new clothes and turned around, walking out of the room.


    " Hello? Yes, I already sent you the money. You need to purchase all the stones with the code number I have sent you. Also, No matter what, Do not miss the stone number- 414262, ok?"


    Jia Hao walked out and saw Su Yunqi was giving instruction to someone. Seeing Jia Hao, Su Yunqi blushed a bit as she tried to ease the awkwardness.


    " Hao''er, Don''t worry, I have already asked my trusted people to bid on the stones you pointed out. Didn''t you say you want to go home early? Let''s go back."


    " No, Before that..." Jia Hao''s eyes turned cold as he looked around. " Aunt Su, Can you call the police?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Huh? Why didn''t it record anything?" Li Xumin frowned as he turned on theptop. However, thest thing he saw the Jia Hao blocking the view of all cameras.


    " This punk! Could it be...He knew about my ns beforehand?" Li Xumin''s body turned cold as the possibility hit his mind.


    " But how? Even professionals would have a hard time to find those things. Besides... Yes! The mirror! There should be some footage of the washroom mirror!"


    But he exploded in frustration when he realized Su Yunqi hadn''t entered the washroom at all.


    " Si-Sir... Don''t be angry..." The girl standing behind Li Xumin took off her clothes as she knelt before him. Li Xumin was angry, but seeing the eagerness of the girl, he couldn''t help but get aroused.


    " Yeah, I am angry. And you are going to calm me down." Li Xumin turned her around and rubbed the pussy of the girl lecherously.


    But then...


    " Hand''s up! It''s the police!"


    The door busted open as police charged inside. The girl who appeared to be submissive got up and pushed the stunned Li Xumin.


    " Monster! You bloody monster! You tried to rape me again?" The girl cried out.


    " Officer! It''s him!"


    " Huh? What?"


    Li Xumin was stunned as he realized he fucked up everything.

    Author''s note: There is a number magic in this chapter, or a nuclearunch code?

 Chapter 12: Live In Son In Law?

    <h4>Chapter 12: Live In Son In Law?</h4>


    Jia Hao sat in the car along with Su Yunqi as they saw police arresting Li Xumin. Everyone there was shocked when they heard the usation against Li Xumin.


    " Bah! What a scumbag!"


    " Karma truly bit him back!"


    " He deserves it."


    However, It barely had any effect on the auction of jade stones. In fact, it turned out to be an unexpected entertainment for the rich who gathered there.


    " Hao''er, How did you know about that girl?" Su Yunqi turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Well, As I said, I identally heard their words. Not to mention, I found the girl weeping in the hallway. Seeing the bruises on her neck and arms, I felt like she got sexually assaulted."


    " After consoling her, She agreed to lodge aint against Li Xumin."


    Jia Hao remembered the image panels of Li Xumin molesting and ckmailing various girls. And those cutscenes happened in the hallway of this ce.


    With his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao didn''t have much difficulty finding that girl. After making her understand and promising 100,000 Yuan aspensation for sending her off to another city, she agreed to stand up against Li Xumin.


    '' Only if the girls here could muster a bit of courage here, 80% of bad ending trope would vanish here.'' Jia Hao sighed in his heart.


    But precisely they can''t do that, which makes the viins almost omnipotent here.


    Maybe, That''s also the reason why Jia Hao can easily control the women of the Tianshu World? After all, the protagonists in Urban Fantasy aren''t much different from the viins, other than being more charming.


    Originally, Jia Hao''s fate was going to be the same as other male NPCs here, watching their beloved women getting taken away and mind broken by viins, who are the real protagonists here.


    However, Jia Hao, who knows almost every plot in Urban Fantasy, along with his Pot of Miracle, can simply turn his and all the women''s fate around.


    " Aunt Su, I hope you can give that girl 100,000 Yuan and shift her to another city, where no one knows her and her boyfriend." Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi.


    " You are really considerate, Hao''er." Su Yunqi rubbed Jia Hao''s head as she smiled. " We earned a lot tonight. So, Spending a little bit won''t hurt at all."


    Soon after that, they arrived back in the vi. Jia Hao walked straight to his room and closed his door.


    '' ording to the Pot of Miracle, I needed to think about Tianxiu World and sleep. Then I will get transported there.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    After reaching the firstyer, Jia Hao felt like the space inside the Pot of Miracles increased a lot. Although it looks small outside, the space inside it already reached one cubic meter.


    '' Wait, I remember! Along with the Appraisal function, another function called Enchantment is also activated.'' Jia Hao closed his eyes and focused on the Pot of Miracles.


    Suddenly, he felt he was transported inside a mysterious dark space, with mist floating on the ground and washing his feet. In front of him was the Pot of Miracles.


    Unlike before, it grew in size, almost two feet tall, looking like a majestic square sacrificial pot.

    [Great Eraser: 1 Rubber Eraser+ 100 ML. Dark Sapling Juice+ 50ML Urine of Two Tailed Lizard+70 Unit Chaos Energy]


    Jia Hao was stunned when he saw the list of the items. After that, he finally pieced the information together which he got from the Pot of Miracles.


    Basically, every time he goes through the space time vortex to the Yun Continent, His Pot of Miracles will assign Chao Energy to his items to transform them into various treasures.


    However, as everyone knows, miracles are unpredictable like a gha game. So, even if Jia Hao takes another torch with him right now, there is a good amount of chance the torch would turn into something different than the Holy Radiance Torch.


    Therefore, if he wishes to make another Holy Radiance Torch, he just needs to gather all these things and ce them in the Pot of Miracles, turning the ordinary torch into the Holy Radiance Torch.


    '' However, It''s very tough. After all, I get 100 Chaos Energy every time I go from the Tianshu World to Yun Continent. If I spend all Chaos Energy making one torch, the other items won''t turn into treasures."


    It''s simply a game of probability. Either one can focus on one item and make it into a powerful treasure, or they can simply let 100 units of Chaos Energy do random enchantment.


    '' However, I believe there is a possibility to control the probability of enchantment. Hmm, I should experiment with it carefully."


    Jia Hao still has a Super Eraser and a pencil which he took to the Tianxiu World. Unfortunately, he couldn''t use the treasures by himself till he restored the pot to the thirdyer.


    Nheless, If he can''t use his own treasures, he will simply exchange them with the treasures that he can use in Tianxiu World.


    " Now, Now... What should I bring this time?" Jia Hao became amused as he thought for a moment. Suddenly, pping his hand, he walked out of his room and went to the kitchen.


    He took two bottles of soft drinks, a packet of glucose Tang, A sharp chef''s knife, and a packet of choctes.


    " Let''s go there and see how these things will work." Jia Hao hurried back to his room and fell on the bed.


    " Assign all the Chaos Energy equally to all items." Jia Hao thought inwardly as he fell into sleep.


    He could feel the colorful lights washing above him as he opened his eyes. Looking at his surroundings, he was amazed.


    " Damn! I really came here!"


    The ancient bed with wooden furnishing around him gave off an aura of old nobility. However, Looking at the outside, Jia Hao frowned.


    " This...This is not right..."


    Jia Hao got up from the bed and realized there was a pair of ancient clothes in the living room, perfect for his size. Jia Hao chuckled as he picked the clothes and changed into them.


    Although they felt a bit odd, When Jia Hao looked at himself with the bronze mirror, he couldn''t help butugh.


    " Now, Who is the most handsome, most divine schr in ancient times? Yes, It''s me! Young Master Jia Hao!"


    " Ahem..."


    Seeing no one around, Jia Hao chuckled as he walked outside. Seeing a maid, Jia Hao asked lightly. " How long have I slept inside my room?"


    " Young Lord, Only an hour has passed." The maid bowed before Jia Hao and spoke. " Besides, Second Miss has told me to ask you to go to her after you wake up."


    " What? Only an hour passed?" Jia Hao felt his brain short circuited for a minute.


    '' Wait, I thought time here flowed five times faster than Azure Star World? How only one hour passed here even if five hours passed in Azure Star World?"''


    '' Could it be... Pot of Miracle is slowing down the time after I leave Tianxiu World?'' Jia Hao came to a mind blowing possibility.


    As he thought inwardly, he followed the maid to the main hall. Suddenly, Cai Lingzhi appeared before Jia Hao as she was pouted.


    " Where you were? Hurry up ande with me. The marriage candidate selection for Elder Sister is going to begin."


    " What?" Jia Hao was stunned as he walked with her. " And how are you going to select?"


    " We aren''t selecting any practitioners. We are selecting the most outstanding schr who would be our live in son inw." Cai Lingzhi mumbled.


    " Although I don''t want this, This is the best action for now." Cai Lingzhi suddenly paused as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Why do you want to participate?"


    " Huh?"

 Chapter 13: Easy Questions?

    <h4>Chapter 13: Easy Questions?</h4>


    Jia Hao walked with Cai Lingzhi as they reached arge hall. Jia Hao could see many young men with a schrly appearance standing around the hall, creating a lively atmosphere.


    " Well? Second Miss Cai is a mighty warrior. And Patriarch Cai is also like a tiger in his prime." Jia Hao spoke. " Then why do you wish to marry a mortal schr to First Miss?"


    " It wasn''t like we were also happy with this arrangement. However, if we don''t do this, it will affect our Cai Family negatively." Cai Lingzhi spoke. " You are new here, so it will take some time before you understand the political intrigue of the Great Yan Kingdom."


    " Our Cai Family is a military family. However, after thest war, our strength has been declining greatly. It''s just because our great uncle is guarding the Northern Borders, we are still standing tall as other powerful aristocratic families."


    " However, The family''s financial condition has been declining thanks to our enemies." Cai Lingzhi clenched her teeth. " They wanted to use this chance and force us to marry Elder Sister into their family."


    " Because if they get Elder Sister, they will also get a part of our military strength without any effort."


    Jia Hao understood instantly as he looked at Cai Lingzhi. " Ah... Because there is no male in the main branch family and only you two girls?"


    " Well, That''s a reason." Cai Lingzhi nodded. " However, If I improve my power and prove myself to the world, I can still hold the mantle of the family without much worry."


    The ancient world is always has been a male-oriented world. However, Jia Hao saw the existence of supernatural and magic in this world, the difference between male and female can be reduced significantly. After all, power is something that would never ask the gender. If you have the power, you can do whatever you wish.


    " Interesting. So, you made the n to hold a marriage candidate selection and getting a live in son inw." Jia Hao nodded. " But what if he had an ulterior motive?"


    " That''s why we are not epting any practitioners. Only mortal schrs are eligible to participate."


    " What are these practitioners?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " Huh? You don''t know?" Cai Lingzhi looked at him like she was looking at an idiot. " Even five year old child knows about them."


    " Uhh... I just wish to hear the opinion of Second Miss Cai." Jia Hao forced a smile.


    " Then let me exin to you. The Body Strengthening realm is the first realm, where you gather the internal qi from the world and refine your body."


    " You need to open the gates of your dantian before the age of 16, reaching the Profound Awakening Stage." Cai Lingzhi exined. " If you can''t reach the Profound Awakening Stage before the age of 16, your lifespan will be the same as a mortal and you can never advance in the future."


    " However, there are exceptions, like rare treasures of heaven and earth or some supreme techniques."


    " After reaching the Profound Awakening Stage, the color of your internal qi will change."


    " Blue colored Internal qi is heavy and good for defense. The one with blue internal qi can be soldiers, knights, or shield bearers who can be vanguards."


    " Red colored internal qi is good for attacking. The one with red internal qi is good with weapons. Swords, sabers, halberd, spear, knives, they can use this and be good fighters."


    " Violet colored internal qi is good for agility and perception. The one with violet internal qi can be an archer, ranger, assassin, and so on.


    " The one who awakens the spiritual qi can be mages and shamans, utilizing the natural force and casting various magical techniques." Cai Lingzhi spoke. " However, their physical attributes would be much worse than internal qi users."


    " There are also cases where one person possesses two colored qi. They could be called the sons of heaven who have unparalleled strength and wisdom. Even one of them can cause the heaven and earth to tremble."


    " Nine stages of Body Strengthening, Nine stages in Profound Awakening Stage. After the Profound Awakeninges the Innate stage. After thates the Grandmaster Realm, followed by the True Sage Realm and Void Ascension Realm."


    " It''s said that if you reach the Void Ascension Realm, you can simply break the space and go to paradise, living forever." Cai Lingzhi chuckled. "But that''s only a myth as no one in a few thousand years reached the Void Ascension Realm."


    " Then which stage are you in?"


    " I have reached the Ninth stage of Profound Awakening Realm. After I ascend, I can be a Master rank Swordsman."


    " A Sword Master, then?"


    " You can say like that." Cai Lingzhi nodded. " However, What about you? I can''t feel a shred of internal qi from you. You look so weak, like even a ten year old child can beat you to death."


    Jia Hao''s face darkened as Cai Lingzhi''s words stabbed into his soul like arrows.


    '' Damn, I am 19 years old. Doesn''t that mean I can''t practice anymore?'' Jia Hao cursed inwardly. However, thinking about the Pot of Miracles, he calmed down a bit.


    " Miss Cai is right. I have never practiced before." Jia Hao smiled lightly as he changed the topic. " So, How are you going to select the marriage partner of Miss Yixue?"


    " Well, The event will proceed with two stages. The first one is the written exam while the second one will done by elder sister Yixue." Cai Lingzhi looked and smiled at Jia Hao.


    " See that? Those are the questions prepared by one of the head disciples of the Grand Tutor of Great Yan Kingdom." Cai Lingzhi smiled. " Why don''t you try to solve them?"


    Jia Hao was surprised as he looked at the questions. He wondered what sort of mystical questions were prepared for the bridegroom candidates.


    1: A farmer raised some hunting dogs and chickens on a farm. count 35 heads and 94 legs among the chickens and dogs on a farm. How many dogs and how many chickens does the farmer have?


    2:You have a 3-liter bottle and a 5-liter bottle. How can you measure 4 liters of water by using 3L and 5L bottles?


    3: I can be small or long, but always hard. But holes need to be present to use me. What am I?


    Jia Hao almost spat out when he saw that question. The first answer was something that immediately came into his mind. But he knew it was obviously the wrong answer, as no one would get any mark after writing dick on their answer paper.


    However, it barely took any time for Jia Hao to get the real answer. He realized the questions were truly in the mixed variety of literature, mathematics, trick questions, and others.


    Strange enough, there were barely any questions about internal energy, medicinal herbs, various treasures, or something magical like that. It looks like the Cai Family is truly looking for schrs rather than practitioners.


    4. Snowkes flutter like plum blossoms. Match the couplet.


    5. Assume the Great Yan Kingdom wishes to mobilize troops against the Southern Barbarians. They needed to mobilize one hundred thousand kg of wheat and rice from the Imperial Capital and transport it to the front line of Southern Borders. Ovend, for every one hundred miles, hundred Kg of wheat and rice will be lost.


    If the food transport army has traveled a thousand miles by water andnd, and finally there will be 95,800 tons of Wheat and Rice left, please write how many miles the food transport soldiers have traveled by water andnd.


    When Jia Hao saw the math he couldn''t help but be amused. These questions could be easily solved by any high school kid. However, realizing it''s an ancient civilization, they might not have deep knowledge of mathematics at all.


    After all, if you have superpowers, why would you need machines?

 Chapter 14: Face Slapping Scholars

    <h4>Chapter 14: Face pping Schrs</h4>


    " What a crazy farmer! How can he keep dogs and chickens together? Won''t the dog kill the chickens?"


    " That''s really a tricky question." Another one mumbled. " Maybe, there will be only dogs left after killing the chickens?"


    " Damn it! Who made the question number 3? I want to meet him!"


    " Uhh, Should I write the answer to question number 3?"


    " Let''s see who is brave enough to write the answer."


    Jia Haoughed when he heard the questions. " Damn it, What the hell with these schrs? Are you sure they are schrs and not some chatans who came here to freeload?"


    Initially, Jia Hao spoke in a low voice. But somehow, all the people who were writing the answers heard Jia Hao.


    " Hmph! Where did this arrogant brate from?"


    " Damn it! You dare to mock us!?"


    Jia Hao was stunned.


    ''Weren''t you guys writing answers? Or you guys were just pretending to be focused while your mind wandering somewhere else?''


    " Ahem, Fellow brothers, don''t mind my slip of the tongue. Please, go ahead and write down your answers." Jia Hao hurriedly spoke with a smile. After all, he really doesn''t want to bother people in an unknown world.


    Besides, Cai Lingzhi was just beside him a moment ago. However, when he turned around, he saw she already vanished.


    '' Damn it! This girl is really unreliable!''


    " What apology? You are still gloating!"


    " You think these questions are child''s y?" A schr walked out as he shouted. " If you have the ability, then write down the answer."


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he felt it was getting a bit too much. Hmph, For these questions, you guys are getting so flustered?


    A mocking smile appeared on Jia Hao''s face as he walked forward and grabbed a brush and paper.


    " Then let me write down the answers!"


    " Haha! Look at him! There is only a time of a quarter of incense stick!"


    " You think you canplete the answer in such little time?"


    " What a braggart!"


    Jia Hai snorted as he barely took a few minutes before writing down the answer and submitting it to the one who was collecting the answer sheets.


    " Let''s see then."


    '' Hmph! How dare you to belittle me? I, a cultured modern person who reincarnated eight times!''


    '' Let me show you the immensity of heaven and earth.''


    Everyone gave a mocking smile when they saw Jia Hao giving the answer sheet so fast. After all, Without calcting for a while, how could he be able to solve those difficult mathematical questions? Not to mention if one would only focus on logical questions, they would stump at the literary and tricky questions.


    Jia Hao noticed Cai Lingzhiing back as he waved his hands. " Hey! How could you leave so suddenly without me? I almost got lost."


    " Ah, I am sorry, Brother Jia. It''s just that an important guest came so I hurried and went to check on him." Cai Lingzhi sighed as she looked around her. " Eh? Why are they looking at you with such a strange gaze?"


    " Hmph! Why do you care about them? They are just some frail twigs who are calling themselves schrs." Jia Hao grumbled. " I just said the questions were easy. It was them whose frail egos got hurt by my merement."


    " Easy questions, huh?" Cai Lingzhi paused as she also looked at Jia Hao with a strange look. " You know that all people here who came to participate are those who passed the Imperial Examination, right?"


    " So? I stand by my words." Jia Hao couldn''t understand why people taking these questions seriously anyway.


    " Did you write the answer?" Cai Lingzhi asked again. Jia Hao paused as he spoke. " Uhh...Yeah, I guess? Those guys were being a bit too much so... I also gave my answer paper?"


    " Ah, I guess you are also interested in my sister, huh?" A smile crept on Cai Lingzhi''s lips as she looked at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao was stunned as he realized that. " I... I didn''t mean that, Sister Lingzhi." He hurriedly exined himself.


    " It''s just a written test and I answered just out of spite." Jia Hao chuckled. " Besides, Isn''t the decision still in Miss Yixue''s hand? No way she will ept me."


    Cai Lingzhi remained silent as she changed the topic. " Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. Those Energy Recovery Medicines, Do you still have it?"


    Jia Hao remembered there was still a bar of chocte left from the previous time as he nodded. " There is one remaining. Why do you ask?"


    " Do you wish to sell it?" Cai Lingzhi looked at her. " It''s really a precious item. So, I wonder how much..."


    Jia Hao pulled out the chocte and handed it to Cai Lingzhi. " Miss Lingzhi saved mest time. I trust that you will give me an appropriate price for this thing."


    " Do you trust me that much?" Cai Lingzhi raised her eyebrows as she looked at her.


    Jia Hao grinned as he took a step forward, leaning towards Cai Lingzhi.


    " I do believe the woman who saved me and took my first time."


    Cai Lingzhi, who always appeared to beposed and cheerful suddenly blushed as she red at Jia Hao. Suppressing her voice, she looked at him.


    " Hmph, You are talking like I didn''t give you my first time at all."


    " So, Does that mean you like me now?" Jia Hao grinned widely. Cai Lingzhi blushed further as she pinched Jia Hao''s waist, making him cry out in pain.


    " OUCH! IT HURTS!"


    " Serves you right!" Cai Lingzhi held the chocte bar and walked inside. Jia Hao couldn''t help but rub his waist as he activated his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Energy Recovering Bar: Can instantly recover all the energy of Profound Awakening Realm and below practitioners]


    [ Cold Iron Sword: A sword made with cold iron tempered a thousand times. It''s sharp and precise, perfect for a swordsman]


    Dozens of information windows popped out before Jia Hao as he looked around him. However, to lessen the expenditure of energy, Jia Hao tried to focus on fewer things.


    Following Cai Lingzhi, they went to the main courtyard, where Cai Yunhai was sitting with another middle aged man. Although he looked very skinnypared to Cai Yunhai''s size, Jia Hao could feel he was a witty fellow.


    " Little Chanzi, You truly helped us a lot this time." Cai Yunhai smiled as he raised the wine cup before gulping it down.


    " No need for this, Patriarch Cai." Ruo Chanzi chuckled lightly. " You and master are old friend. Since you requested his help, it''s natural that he will help you."


    " So, How is that old geezer doing? Still buried inside his pile of ancient texts?"


    " Hehe, Patriarch Cai sure knows master best."


    Ruo Chanzi gave a wry smile. After all, How many can call the Grand Tutor of Great Yan Kingdom an old geezer like this?


    Cai Lingzhi walked to them and bowed before Cai Yunhai, passing him the chocte. Cai Yunhai nodded as he sniffed it. " This... Little Chanzi, Can you check this?"


    " What''s this?" Ruo Chanzi took it and closed his eyes. " Hmm, It smells very delicious. However...This..."


    As he looked at the bar of chocte carefully, his expression filled with surprise and amazed.

 Chapter 15: Marriage Interview

    <h4>Chapter 15: Marriage Interview</h4>


    He carefully broke a little from corner and ate it. Instantly, his expression changed.


    " This... This medicine is rich in energy! Mm, If you can eat the whole, it will recover one''s dantian instantly."


    " And the vor is simply delicious." Ruo Chanzi looked at Cai Yunhai. " Patriarch Cai, Where did you get this from? And how is it made?"


    " Speaking to the elder, I know some of the ingredients." Jia Hao suddenly spoke. " Pure Spring Water and roots of five hundred year old ginseng are added in this."


    " Ah? Five hundred year old ginseng, huh?" Ruo Chanzi mmed on the table with excitement. " No wonder why it''s so rich in energy. And to counter the explosiveness of ginseng, Pure Spring Water is the best choice."


    " If you sell this, You will get thirty thousand taels of gold at least."


    " Thirty thousand taels?" Cai Yunhai was surprised. " Hmm, But it''s also alright. After all, It''s much better than other energy recovering medicines."


    Cai Lingzhi was surprised when she heard that. Now, the mysterious charm of Jia Hao became even more alluring for her. Soon, a servant came with a stack of papers and ced them before Ruo Chanzi.


    " Lord, These are the answer sheets which we received the earliest."


    " Hmm, Let''s see..." Ruo Chanzi waved his hands as the papers fluttered swirling around him magically as they suspended in the air. Ruo Chanzi gazed at them with lightning fast speed as he discarded them one by one quickly.


    " This one is wrong..."


    " This one is wrong too..."


    It took barely a few seconds for Ruo Chanzi to check if an answer sheet was correct or not. After long, only five remained floating before him.


    " These four are the ones who barely scored one-third of the total scores. Not bad at all." Ruo Chanzi nodded. " There are still many talents in this city after all."


    " Eh? This..." Ruo Chanzi was stunned as turned it around and showed it. " I didn''t know a child was also participating. What the hell is this handwriting?"


    Ruo Chanzi was about to throw it away, but he paused as he looked at the written answers carefully. The more he read, the more shocked he got.


    " This... This... Who wrote this paper?" Ruo Chanzi looked at the name at the bottom. " Who is Jia Hao?"


    Suddenly, The atmosphere became silent as they all looked at Jia Hao. Jia Hao instinctively took a step back as he forced a smile. " Why are you guys looking at me like this?"


    Ruo Chanzi turned around the paper and made everyone look at it. Cai Yunhai was the first one tough out loud.


    " Hahaha! Brat, Is this something you wrote? Haha, Your handwriting is even worse than mine."


    Cai Yunhai was naturally a military person who would rather use his saber than using his pen. He doesn''t understand the matter of schrs, and neither his handwriting is good.


    However, finally seeing someone with better knowledge yet worse handwriting than him made him very pleased.


    " It''s so...Ugly. Even children who have learned basic calligraphy can write better." Cai Lingzhi mumbled as her nose wrinkled.


    Jia Hao became speechless when he heard that. Although he was able to understand the words andnguage of this world, he never had experience writing these foreign letters.


    Since it was his first time writing a newnguage, it was natural for his handwriting to appear shitty.


    " Little Jia, You should take your time and learn some calligraphy. This handwriting...It''s barely readable. Li Ruo looked at Jia Hao and smiled lightly.


    " Everyone, I admit the handwriting is not very good." Ruo Chanzi shook his head. " However, I would like you to read all the answers."


    " Because all of them were correct."


    " What?"


    Cai Yunhai was shocked when he heard that. " You mean, He wrote all the answers correctly? All of them?"


    " Indeed." Ruo Chanzi looked at Jia Hao with a profound gaze. Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao as he hurriedly asked. " What''s the answer the question number three then?"


    Li Ruo rolled her eyes. " Hmph, So your mind is still stuck in that question, huh? Do you want to embarrass him?"


    " Huh? What do you mean?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " I am a righteous person who just wants to know the answer to the question. There is nothing wrong in that, is there?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he shook his head. " Patriarch Cai, Lady Li, nothing is embarrassing in this question.


    " I can be small or long, but always hard. But holes need to be present to use me. What am I? Isn''t that a key and lock?"


    Cai Yunhai was stunned as heughed out loud. " Haha! See? It''s a key! A key...Nothing else, yeah."


    Ruo Chanzi smiled wryly. " Indeed, It''s a key. It''s just that the question was slipping between my other questions by my mischievous younger brother."


    " Anyway, You also matched one of the difficult couplets, Snowkes flutter like plum blossoms."


    " Thoughts are calm like flowing rosy clouds." Jia Hao answered lightly.


    " However, I am even more intrigued. Thest question of military supply, How did you do it?" Ruo Chanzi looked at Jia Hao. " Unlike others, I don''t see a lot of rough calctions of a few pages though. And what are these strange symbols?"


    Jia Hao looked at it and spoke, " Oh, That''s basic algebra. It helps a lot in these types of maths, you know?"


    " Algebra? What''s that?" Ruo Chanzi looked at Jia Hao with confusion. Only then did Jia Hao realize the backwardness of math in this world.


    " Uhh... It''s just a special type of calction method. I guess not many know that here." Jia Hao smiled wryly.


    " Well, Then I hope you can share this method with me." Ruo Chanzi''s eyes shone. " This method looks much more convenient than our long methods."


    '' Of course, It is.'' Jia Hao sighed in his heart. However, he wasn''t in hurry to share the algebraic form so easily.


    " Elder Ruo, I guess you should enjoy the atmosphere here. After all, we are not in a hurry, are we?"


    " Haha! True!" Cai Yunhaiughed but suddenly, he paused when he saw the nce of Li Ruo and Cai Lingzhi. And then, he realized something.


    " Uh...So, Jia Hao won the written examination, eh?"


    " You are right, Patriarch Cai." Ruo Chanzi smiled.


    Cai Yunhai exchanged nces with Li Ruo and then turned at Cai Lingzhi. " Haha, It''s good, I guess. Lingzhi, Why don''t you lead Jia Hao to the...Designed room for him?"


    " Ah, That..." Cai Lingzhi came back to her senses as she understood the implications. Looking at Jia Hao, she smiled. " Brother Jia, Come with me and let the adults discuss among themselves."


    " Yes?" Jia Hao could feel the shift in everyone''s mood. But before he could think anything else, he got dragged away by Cai Lingzhi to another room.


    The room was luxurious, and Jia Hao sat there dumbfounded. He was alone, with tes of exotic fruit and wine before him. As he was about to eat one, the door opened as a figure stepped in.


    " We met again, Young Master Jia."


    Jia Hao heard the familiar voice. Yet, instead of warmth and gentleness, it was like the northern wind, cold and dignified. Raising his head, Jia Hao felt a shiver.


    " Miss Yixue?"


    Cai Yixue sat before Jia Hao with a calm and collected expression, with her eyes like a pond of cold water, judging Jia Hao from top to bottom.


    " Let me start the discussion on marriage then." She spoke in a cold voice.


    Jia Hao: "???"

 Chapter 16: Marriage And Trouble

    <h4>Chapter 16: Marriage And Trouble</h4>


    Cai Lingzhi has always been a cheerful girl. Even though she tried to threaten Jia Hao, the blush on her face remembering the time between the dark cave made her look harmless.


    Cai Yixue was different. Jia Hao felt he was an elegant and amicable woman, a bit like Su Lan. However, now he was facing her again, she was like a beauty made of an ice sculpture, just her look was enough to make someone fall to their knee out of pressure.


    She sat elegantly before Jia Hao, with no change in her expression. " It''s nice to meet you again, Young Noble Jia. You have secured the highest mark in the test."


    " Why do you want to marry me?"


    The straight question took aback Jia Hao. It looks like Cai Yixue didn''t want to beat around the bush.


    " Ah, Miss Yixue, It was really a misunderstanding. I...I didn''t want to participate in this event." Jia Hao replied calmly. " It was just I got angered by a bunch of old schrs and gave the exam."


    " So, In Young Noble''s Jia''s eyes, I am not someone worthy of being your wife?"


    Jia Hao''s face stiffened when he heard the question. " Miss Yixue, That''s an absurd question. After all, you are like a maiden of someone''s dreams. If they can marry you, it will be their fortune."


    " That''s right." Cai Yixue''s tone was cold. " Being the live in son inw, you will instantly be a revered figure in this city. Even in the Great Yan Kingdom, you will be a prominent man."


    " Our army, our cavalry, the wealth of an aristocratic family like the Cai Family, you can be a part of it."


    " However, If you are refusing, then you must be guilty conscience, or you havee here with an ulterior motive." Cai Yixue spoke in a light yet cold voice. " So, Which one is it?"


    " Miss Yixue barely met once. Why do you wish to marry me?" Jia Hao snorted lightly.


    " I do not wish to marry you, or any other who came to participate in this trial." Cai Yixue shook her head. " I merely following the procedure of an arranged marriage."


    " There are many better candidates than me."


    " I have already taken interviews of all of them. You are thest one."


    Jia Hao fell in thought as he looked at Cai Yixue. He could feel that she was totally a minefield made of a thousand dynamites. However, Just her body and beauty could make anyone step on those minefield, even if it threatens their lives.


    '' Not to mention, since I have the Pot of Miracles and ess to the modern world, Tianxiu World is like and filled with resources for me. If I can make a powerful family like the Cai Family my ally, it will be much easier for me.''


    ''Besides, the Cai Family still owes me a favor. Marrying Cai Yixue...It couldn''t be that bad, right?'' Jia Hao gazed at Cai Yixue''s figure once again, with a different intention in his eyes this time.


    Cai Yixue didn''t bother, letting Jia Hao gaze at her figure as much as he wanted.


    " Well, Since Miss Yixue insists, I will be a stain upon the men of the world if I don''t ept your proposal." Jia Hao smiled. " Alright, You can begin the marriage interview. If I appear to be capable in your eyes, you can marry me."


    " Then I will only ask a single question." Cai Ningxue looked at Jia Hao. " Being a live in son inw, you are basically getting into the Cai Family''s core."


    " So, What can you provide the family after being the son inw?"


    Jia Hao wasn''t much surprised as it was a very practical question. However, before he answered, he paused as he thought about something.


    " Miss Yixue, If you don''t mind, is this the same question you asked to other people?" Jia Hao looked at her. " What was their answer?"


    " That would be considered cheating, Young Noble Jia."


    " I don''t think there was such a rule in this event that defines it as cheating though?" Jia Hao smiled.


    Cai Yixue looked at her as she spoke. " Well, Considering your help earlier, I shall reveal it then."


    " Sheng Lan of the Sheng Family is prominent in the escort service and merchant association. He assured us that he would take the helm of the financial department of the Cai family, making our coffer fill with golden boats."


    " Meanwhile, Shu Yuan who is a qualified individual who passed the Imperial Examination and served under the Ministry of War, told me that he will use his expertise and increase the military strength of the Cai Family."


    " In just three years, he promised to soar our family''s banner and conquer the southern barbarians."


    Jia Hao fell in thought as he heard those words. Although Cai Yixue remained calm, Jia Hao could feel the undertone of her, he could feel they weren''t her first choice.


    As a person from the modern world, Jia Hao has naturally many things to offer.


    Distition of wine? Better smelting method for steel and iron? Modern Medicines? Guns and artilleries? Books and Entertainment? Each of them along with the enchantment of the Pot of Miracle could easily make the entire Cai family rule the world.


    However, Jia Hao felt Cai Yixue wouldn''t be that impressed if he said that.


    '' Ah, Time to put all those drama series into use.''


    Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue as he smiled. " Well, First of all, I am marrying you, not the Cai Family, Miss Yixue. Therefore, the question should be...What could I give to you?"


    " Well, I am well versed in seventy two great arts. So, you will be always satisfied on the bed."


    Hearing that, Cai Yixue became dumbfounded as a blush spread across her snow white cheeks. Turning her head slightly, her cold demeanor cracked. " Pervert!"


    " Haha, What''s so bad about it if we are to be husband and wife?" Jia Haoughed lightly.


    " Young noble Jia, You better answer my question seriously. Otherwise, I have to end this right here." Cai Yixue regained herposure as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Alright, if I marry you, I will do...Nothing."


    " Nothing?" Cai Yixue raised her eyebrows.


    " Nothing at all." Jia Hao smiled. " I will simply give you the freedom to do as you please and put my hand in Cai Family''s business minimum."


    " Oh yes, By freedom, I am fine till you don''t cheat on me." Jia Hao smiled.


    Cai Yixue blushed even more as she got up. " Hmph, I guess Young Noble Jia is very carefree. Then I shall take my leave."


    Saying that she hastily walked out of the room.


    '' Hmph! Do you think I am a cheap woman? How dare you have such impure thoughts!''


    Cai Yixue snorted in her heart as she walked pretty fast and arrived in the main hall, where Cai Yunhai, Li Rou, and Cai Lingzhi were sitting.


    " Ah, Sister, You are back." Cai Lingzhi looked at Cai Yixue. " Did you talk to all of them?"


    " What is your opinion, Yixue?" Li Rou asked in aforting voice. " Is there anyone who picked your eyes? Or...If you want, we can postpone..."


    " No need for that, Mother." Cai Yixue''s cold aura vanished as she smiled lightly. " I have already picked my choice."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Rednterns shed as Jia Hao stood dazed, wearing a crimson robe with the golden pattern as everyone cheered around him.


    " Kowtow To Heaven and Earth!"


    " Kowtow To Parents and Ancestor!"


    " Kowtow To each other!"


    " Ceremony is over! Husband and wife, drink the wedding wine!"


    '' Wait, I just got married?''


    Jia Hao was stunned as Cai Yixue raised her delicate hand, making him drink a cooling drink.


    However, not long after the ceremony was over, a person came rushing.


    " Patriarch Cai, It''s not good! Some trouble happened in Fragrant Medicine Store!"

 Chapter 17: Fragrant Medicine Store’s Problem

    <h4>Chapter 17: Fragrant Medicine Store''s Problem</h4>


    Not long after Cai Yixue left, Jia Hao got dragged away by two servant girls and made him take a bath. After that, when he came out, there was a set of red robes before him.


    " Wait, Are we getting married right now?" Jia Hao was shocked when he saw that.


    " Young Master Jia, Lady Yixue has instructed us to get you ready as soon as possible." One of the servant girls spoke with a smile.


    " But why so sudden?"


    " Firstdy said, we can use force if you dy the task."


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the wedding robe as he touched it, feeling the silky surface of the dress.


    '' Hmm, So I am finally getting married after eight lives, huh?'' Jia Hao became mncholic.


    " Well, Why should I not celebrate this, huh? Thanks to those bastards, I couldn''t live even one proper life. This time, I will change it." A smile appeared on Jia Hao''s face as he looked at the sky.


    As for why he passed Cai Yixue''s test even after giving such half assed answer? It was too simple.


    What Cai Yixue seeked wasn''t apetent husband who would handle the Cai Family, but rather someone who doesn''t do that.


    Looking at the situation, Unless Cai Yunhai get a boy, the Cai Family will fall to either Cai Lingzhi or Cai Yixue. Cai Yixue is better than Cai Lingzhi in terms of management. But she is still a woman in the end.


    What if her husbandes into the y? What if her husband starts to control the Cai Family''s forces, overthrowing the main family''s powerpletely?


    Both Cai Yixue and Cai Lingzhi would be doomed, and the Cai Family would fall into her husband''s hands. She will be a sinner for her ancestors.


    Therefore, What Jia Hao offered Cai Yixue wasn''t hispetence, but her freedom. He gave her the freedom to manage the Cai Family as she wished.


    This was his first step towards his life of fulfillment, a life which he cost his previous eight lives.


    However, when the wedding ceremony finished, Jia Hao felt his mind was buzzing like a ringing bell.


    '' Fuck! I am nervous! I am fucking nervous!'' Jia Hao clenched his teeth as he went through all the procedures. However, Cai Yixue''s face was veiled by a red veil, so he could only see her pair of bright eyes.


    However, Jia Hao felt no nervousness in those eyes as she looked at him with a light smile.


    '' Hmph! She isn''t nervous, so why should I?'' Jia Hao calmed his heart. However, suddenly, his gaze fell on Cai Lingzhi, who stood beside her mother Li Rou.


    Although she was smiling, Jia Hao could feel a strange sadness in her eyes.


    '' Is she feeling sad because I married Yixue after sleeping with her in the cave?'' Jia Hao also felt strange as he looked at Cai Yunhai, who stood with his robust appearance.


    Poor guy, he doesn''t know that both of her daughters were snatched by the same person. However, if someone asked Jia Hao, he would rather prefer Cai Lingzhi over Cai Yixue.


    '' Only if Lingzhi''s breasts were a bit bigger...Mhm, She still has the potential though.''


    After drinking the wedding wine, Jia Hao sighed. He finally confirmed that he was married.


    However, not long after the pleasantries, the servant''s words made everyone frown.


    " Something happened in Fragrant Medicine Store?" Cai Yunhai was taken aback. " Why? What happened?"


    " Arge number of people from Anzu Vige havee to our store. Many of them were unconscious with weak bodies, and some of them had sunken eyes."


    " We tried to give them our brown gruel. However, it only made them throw up even more."


    " Arge amount of crowd is gathered outside our store. If we don''t contain it, it will be a problem for our business."


    " Damn it, It must be those Nie Family bastards." Cai Yixue lowered her voice as she cursed. " Let me go and change. I shall go there."


    " Yixue, You just got married. You must not step outside the house today." Li Rou couldn''t help but raise her concern.


    " Yes, It''s inauspicious for the bride to step out of the house after marriage."


    " But Mother, I need to go." Cai Yixue sighed. " This is really troublesome matter."


    " Big sis, No need to say that." Cai Lingzhi stepped forward as she looked at her. " I will go and see what''s happening. You just got marries, so you should stay here."


    " Lingzhi, You..."


    " How about I go too?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue and spoke. " Maybe, I have some solutions?"


    " You? How could I let you go?" Cai Ningxhe spoke, a tongue of suspicion in her voice.


    " What, you think I can''t help you?" Jia Hao became amused. Cai Yixue paused as she suddenly remembered how Jia Hao''s strange eraser erased the sign of her father from the bethrothal contract.


    " But if there are any dangers..."


    Old Yang stepped forward and knelt. " Don''t worry, First Miss. I will do my best to protect everyone."


    Cai Yixue sighed as she epted reluctantly. Jia Hao got up and leaned to her. " Don''t worry, My wife. I will solve this problem."


    Not showing any expression, Cai Yixue watched Jia Hao go into the room to change back and leave with Cai Lingzhi and Old Yang. Although no one noticed any change, Cai Yixue''s cheeks turned a bit red as her heart thumped by Jia Hao''s words.


    Sitting before Old Yang, Jia Hao and Cai Lingzhi, along with some Cai Family guards ran their horses towards the Fragrant Medicine Store.


    When they arrived there, they could see a dozen or more people lying outside, with some people fanning them. Sunken eyes, unconsciousness, vomiting, and weakness, Jia Hao gasped at the situation instantly.


    '' Isn''t that dehydration and diarrhea?''


    Jia Hao thought inwardly. However, he could see some of them had a strange dark aura around them, thanks to his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Viger 1: Afflicted by Purple Shade Vine juice]


    [ Viger 2: Afflicted by Purple Shade Vine juice]


    As they reached, the crowd parted, giving way to the Cai Lingzhi and Jia Hao.


    " Look, The Second Miss has arrived!"


    " Second miss! Please save my husband! He has been like this fromst night."


    " Second Miss, Please look at my son. I can''t bear seeing him like this."


    Cai Lingzhi felt distressed as she saw the situation. Walking in the store, she looked at an old man.


    " Pharmacist Mo, What happened to them?"


    " It looks like dehydration and diarrhea." Pharmacist Mo sighed. " However, even after feeding them the brown growl, there is no effect."


    " After eating, they should have gained some strength. However, they vomited instead and lost more of the water in their bodies."


    " Is there no treatment?" Cai Lingzhi asked anxiously.

 Chapter 18: Miraculous Energy Drink

    <h4>Chapter 18: Miraculous Energy Drink</h4>


    " I am afraid, it won''t be efficient." Pharmacist Mo sighed. " The Bright Spot Grass is best for this situation. But the thing, none of them in our warehouse."


    " I have sent my servants to purchase some around the city. Yet strange enough, he couldn''t find much at all."


    " Damn it, This has to be a conspiracy." Cai Lingzhi cursed.


    " What is the Frgarnt Medicine Pavilion doing?"


    " So many people are in life and death situations, yet the store is doing nothing."


    " Should we move to the Three Herbs Store?"


    " I thought Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is the number one medicine store in the city. I guess it''s all fake."


    " Close down the store! Close down if you can''t cure it!"


    As everyone expected, the ruckus outside grew as people started to shout. However, Jia Hao remained calm as he looked at Pharmacist Mo.


    " Elder Mo, Do you know Purple Shade Flower?"


    Suddenly, everyone in the store was stunned, especially the servants and Pharmacist Mo.


    " Purple Shade Flower, Is a rare and toxic flower. Although it''s not poisonous enough to kill someone instantly, It can weaken the body of people..." Pharmacist Mo paused as his eyes widened. " No way! This...This absurd!"


    " What do you mean, Pharmacist Mo?" Cai Lingzhi hurriedly asked. " Are they got poisoned?"


    " Mydy, I am afraid so." Pharmacist Mo replied hurriedly. " However, if its really Purple Shade Flower, it''s both good and bad news."


    " Good news is, we only need to supply them with enough fluids till they excrete all the juices of Purple Shade Flower''s juice out of their bodies."


    " However, the fluid must be nutritious and full of energy. And if we do that, the cost would be astronomical." Pharmacist Mo sighed. " I doubt many of those poor vigers could pay for it."


    " So either we take loss and save the vigers or let them die." Cai Lingzhi gritted her teeth. " Damn it, Our finance is so tight right now. How can we..."


    " Eh? Energizing fluid you say?" Jia Hao suddenly remembered something as he smiled.


    " Uncle Yang, Bring me a big pot of water." Jia Hao looked at Old Yang and spoke. Old Yang was surprised, but seeing Cai Lingzhi''s nod, he brought a big wooden basket filled with clear water.


    Jia Hao nodded as he waved his hand, a big packet of glucose and mineral energy powder appeared in his hand. Looking at it with his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao was surprised.


    Instant Energy Mix Powder: An orange-vored powder that can be mixed in water instantly. After drinking, it recovers all the fatigue and energizes the body in a few moments. Easy to carry and can be for arge amount of people.


    Jia Hao grinned as one of his tests was sessful. Seeing the Sage''s Divine Eyes description, he felt he truly got a heavenly cheat. After all, even without his Pot of Miracle, just the power of appraisal was enough to make him turn into a dragon among mortals.


    Seeing Jia Hao opening a strange packet and drowning in a load of orange powder made everyone stunned. Soon, the barrel of clear water had an orange tint, giving off a fresh fruity smell.


    " This, What is this thing?"


    " This does smell good. Like freshly picked oranges."


    Pharmacist Mo was surprised as he took a scoop of the drink. He was shocked as he smacked his lips. " This...This is so refreshing. I could feel my fatigue simply lessening with a small sip."


    " Not to mention, it''s...It simply feels like drinking orange juice."


    Jia Hao grinned as he nodded. " You can say this is a medicinal powder that would nourish one''s fatigued body. Due to the Purple Shade Flower, they are having frequent discharge. It''s making the fluid in their body dry and sapping their energy."


    " I think if you make them drink this, it will nourish their body and help them to stay alive till they excrete all the Purple Shade Flower juice."


    " This...This does feel like Cooling Breeze Potion." Pharmacist Mo was amazed. " If it has the same effectiveness, then the patients can be saved. Yes, We must distribute the drink immediately."


    Cai Lingzhi was surprised as she saw the capabilities of her new brother inw. " But the cost..." She spoke in a hesitant voice.


    " It doesn''t matter, Sister Lingzhi." Jia Hao waved his hands. " We must save the needy people first. As for cost, we can discusster."


    " This bucket has enough water for a dozen people. For every two people, give them one cup of water." Jia Hao spoke. " Only after that, give them some light food that takes less energy to digest. Yes, some grain porridge will be alright."


    Everyone was stunned for a moment as a stranger like Jia Hao took charge of the ce. However, Pharmacist Mo snapped and shouted. " What are your fools standing for? Hurry up and do as young lord said!"


    Soon, they scooped the water from the basket and fed to those who were lying outside.


    Arge crowd has already formed outside of the Fragrant Medicine Store.


    " Hmph! I already told you. Fragrant Medicine Store only caters to the rich." A person snorted. " Just because these vigers are poor, they don''t want to treat them at all."


    " Not to mention, Pharmacist Mo has already been old. Maybe he already lost his medical expertise."


    " Hmph, Close down the store! Cai Family, Close down the store!"


    " Who dares to make a ruckus here!"


    Old Yanges out as his voice explodes like a p of thunder, making the crowd silent at once. Even Jia Hao felt a jumpscare when he heard Old Yang''s voice.


    Looking at Old Yang, he could feel the vibe of a loyal general who butchered thousands on the battlefield. The powerful bloodlust around him could intimidate mortals intimidated.


    " Hmph, Is the Cai Family trying to suppress themoners?" A middle aged man walked out as the crowd parted.


    Old Yang''s gaze turned cold as he looked at him. " Niu Deng, What are you doing here?"

 Chapter 19: Turning The Situation

    <h4>Chapter 19: Turning The Situation</h4>


    " No matter what the Cai Family does, the Nie Family doesn''t need to meddle in it."


    " Of course, Why not?" The middle aged man snorted. " After all, Everyone in the Great Yan Kingdom should strive to deter the strong and help the weak. If the Cai Family tries to suppress themoners, the Nie Family would have to oppose it."


    Jia Hao looked at the middle aged man as he already marked a red cross on his face in his heart. It looks like he was some prominent figure of the Nie Family, who is probably behind the trouble.


    Cai Lingzhi simply snorted as she looked at Old Yang. " Uncle Yang, No need to mind them. We should try to save the patients first."


    Soon, the drinks were distributed among the patients. Not long after taking the first sip, many of those patients who were feeling lethargic got up.


    " This...Fruit Juice?"


    " This tastes so good. Eh? I am no longer feeling nausea?"


    The crowd gasped as they saw the swift recovery of the patients. The vige folks of Anzu vige got up as they looked at their loved ones with energy.


    " I am... I am no longer feeling weak. And the sweet and sour taste of the orange...It simply makes my body jump."


    " Indeed! It changed the taste of my mouth. I can finally feel some hunger."


    Pharmacist Mo was excited as he shouted. " Prepare some brown gruel and feed it to them."


    Only half an hourter, the majority of the patients got up and looked healthy. After eating the porridge, many of them felt full once again. Jia Hao felt the main property of Purple Shade Flower is to weaken people through frequent body discharge, which his instant energy drink negated.


    However, he also found the clue to manipte the odds of item enchantment. Without any doubt, he looked into the Pot of Miracles in his consciousness, checking other items in it.


    Thousand Layer Dagger: A dagger made up of the highest quality cold iron, tempered for a thousand times. An excellent item to chop vegetables and people alike.


    Sparkling Pure Water: Purest water with a bit of tongue teasing spark. It can easily enhance the taste of any wine or drink.


    Packet Of Delicious Choctes: A delicacy that can instantly improve someone''s mood. Not to mention, after taking a bite, they will definitely eat another.


    '' As expected, My theory is true.''


    Jia Hao looked at the enhanced chocte as he fell into a deep thought. The first time he got the energy to recover chocte, he actually brought some energy chocte bar.


    Therefore, the energy chocte bar turned into Energy Recovering Super Chocte. However, this time Jia Hao bought more sweet and tasty choctes instead of energy chocte bars.


    '' Although the enhancement this time isn''t mystical likest time, the taste of the chocte truly increased. Even a single piece could be sold for ten thousand dors among real chocte enthusiasts.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Although the chances that he will get an S-rank item like Energy Recovery Chocte like the previous time if he brought chocte with him, Jia Hao felt the probability of the energy bar turning into Energy Recovery Chocte more to turn into likely into Energy Recovering Chocte than other types of chocte.


    As an example, a silver stick is more likely to turn into a golden stick by the Pot of Miracles. Meanwhile, the chances of a wooden stick turning into a golden stick would be less than a silver stick.


    '' Maybe it will take more energy to transform items of different sses? After all, I only have 100 Chaos Energy every time I travel.''


    As Jia Hao was mused in his thoughts, the scenarios outside took a drastic turn.


    Everyone was shocked to see how effective the medicinal drink of the Fragrant Medicinal Store is. Soon, all the vigers who were suffering from the poison became as lively as before.


    " Mom! My tummy is no longer aching!"


    " Haah, I can finally feel some warmth in my body."


    " I thought I was going to die."


    " Pharmacist Mo, thank you for your generosity."


    " Thank you, Cai Family!"


    The vigers of Anzu vige knelt before the store, making the crowd gasp.


    " This...This!" Niu Deng clenched his teeth as he looked at the scene. Even he couldn''t understand how the effect of Purple Shade Flower got purified so easily.


    '' They must have used some precious medicines. Yes, That''s must be.'' Niu Deng thought inwardly. '' However, treating so many people, I wonder if they got the face to ask for money?''


    Indeed, that''s what the majority of people thought as the people of Anzu Vige got rescued.


    The Fragrant Medicine Store is renowned in Nanhai City,peting with other elite medicinal facilities. Naturally, the treatment fees here are higher than others.


    However, Anzu Vige is a small backwater vige, filled with farmers and workers of the lowest wages. Even if all of them pool their savings, they couldn''t give the treatment fees of a single person, much less a few dozen people here who were lying here.


    An old man knelt before Cai Lingzhi and others. " This ipetent old man is Ma Yuan, the chief of Anzu Vige. I am grateful that you have helped our vigers."


    Suddenly, he mmed his head on the ground repeatedly as he kowtowed. " My lord, We are just poor farmers. We don''t deserve the pity of General Cai''s family."


    " Saving our vigers, the Anzu Vige will be eternally grateful to Cai Family."


    The crowd became stunned as they saw all the vigers from Anzu Vige knelt before the store. The scene made Jia Hao''s heart move. Stepping forward, he waved his hands.


    " It''s alright. Saving life is greater than building a seven story pagoda. Since so many people affected, it''s natural that our Fragrant Medicine Store would help." Jia Hao spoke.


    " However, You must give us the treatment fees."


    When Jia Hao''s words fell, everyone''s expression changed. As for those who were from Anzu Vige, they couldn''t help but feel despair.


    After all, they only came to the Fragrant Medicine Store because they had no choice, despite knowing about their financial inability. Therefore, they couldn''t help but ept Cai Family''s demands.


    Niu Deng''s grin widened as he looked at the scene. '' As expected, Cai Family is going to ask for money.''


    " The fee will be, 1 silver ingot."


    When Jia Hao''s voice fell, everyone became silent, gazing at them with shock. The vigers of Anzu Vige knelt again with more intensity.


    " Long live, Cai Family!"


    " Long live Cai Family!"


    The sound of the vigers, makes the surroundings vibrate. Cai Lingzhi and Old Yang were stunned when they saw the scene. They thought Jia Hao would demand for money, as something like the orange powder looked like an expensive medicinal powder.


    However, With a simple sentence, Jia Hao turned the table and garnered immense favorability from the crowd and vigers.

 Chapter 20: Crimson Vigor Pill

    <h4>Chapter 20: Crimson Vigor Pill</h4>


    Jia Hao turned around and looked at Pharmacist Mo. " Elder Mo, the main trial has been over. All you need to do is to prescribe some simple medicines to these vigers."


    " Also, Elder Yang, you should investigate two things. First the outbreak of disease in Anzu Vige, and second..." Jia Hao lowered his voice as he spoke.


    " The traitors hidden in the medicinal store."


    Both Cai Lingzhi and Old Yang were shocked when they heard Jia Hao''s words. However, Old Yang was more amazed to see the decision making skill of Jia Hao.


    "Don''t worry, Young Master Jia. We will handle it thoroughly." Old Yang bowed. " Since everything is done here, you should head back to the mansion. After all, you just wed first young miss."


    " Oh, That..." Jia Hao nodded as he clicked his tongue. " Well, Since everything is done here, I should return."


    Then he turned to Niu Deng, " Elder Niu, Is it? It''s saddening to see that you didn''te to the wedding. No worries, pleasee if you want to eat banquet food."


    " Yo-You!!" Niu Deng clenched his fist as heughed coldly. " Good! Very good! Our Niu Family shalle to pay respect to the Cai Family this evening."


    " Niu Deng, You can go back now. Our Fragrant Medicine Store doesn''t wee you." Old Yang spoke in a curt voice. Nie Deng snorted as he turned around and left.


    Returning to the Cai Family estate, everyone in the family sat there without batting an eye.


    However, the news of the triumphant return of Jia Hao and Cai Lingzhi made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.


    " What? A magical water cured all the vigers of Anzu Vige?" Cai Yunhai was stunned.


    " Jia Hao didn''t ask for money in return?"


    Li Rou was also stunned. Cai Yixue sat silently.


    Although she and Jia Hao are now married, they definitely don''t have any emotional attachment. Calcting a rough amount, it makes no sense for Jia Hao to spend that much to solve the trouble of the Cai Family.


    '' Why? Why did he help?''


    Cai Yixue sighed. However, she was relieved that the Cai Family withstood the troubles for now.


    " Hehe, Niu Family said they are going to visit us, huh?" Cai Yunhai clenched his fist as he gave a coldugh. " Very well, I have already prepared many gifts for them."


    " Indeed. Those bastards, Let''s see how can they bully our Cai Family anymore." Li Rou also snorted.


    " However, Where is our son inw? I truly want to reward him for his help."


    Cai Lingzhi looked at Li Rou and spoke. " Brother In Law had returned to his room. He said he was feeling a bit tired, so he wanted to take some rest."


    " After all, He is only a mortal schr."


    " A mortal schr, huh?" Li Rou was a bit surprised. " I guess I forget sometimes that he is not a practitioner."


    " Although we had to resort to such a method for Yixue''s marriage, I can''t ept that our son inw is merely a mortal." Cai Yunhai snorted lightly.


    " What? He already helped you twice and you still want to scold him?" Li Rou red at him, making Cai Yunhai shiver a bit.


    " I mean...You understand what I mean, right?" Cai Yunhai spoke.


    " However, Brother in Law already past the age of cultivation." Cai Lingzhi spoke. " He can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage this lifetime."


    " That''s true." Li Ruo nodded. " However, It seems you are forgetting something."


    " Our treasury should have a Crimson Vigor Pill. I think we should reward him with it."


    " Crimson vigor pill? The pill which can grant ten years worth of Internal Energy at once?" Cai Lingzhi was shocked. " Mother, Why didn''t you give me that pill?"


    " Because your cultivation is already fast enough." Cai Yunhai shook his head. " Not to mention, that pill simply forces medicinal energy into your body. So, it might limit your growth and talent."


    " However, it was perfect for Jia Hao as it would simply make him reach the ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. Since he can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage, he doesn''t need to worry about the side effects of the pill."


    " Is that so?" Cai Lingzhi sighed. Cai Yixue looked at Li Rou. " Mother, The Niu Family mighte here at any time. We should be prepared."


    " Very well. I shall deliver the Crimson Vigor Pill to Brother inw." Cai Lingzhi nodded as she turned around and left.


    Li Rou and Cai Yunhai looked at Cai Yixue whose expression already turned calm and solemn. " Father, Mother, As I suspected before, there is a traitor inside the Fragrant Medicine Store. Even Jia Hao hinted about it."


    " But don''t worry, We shall soon find the mole hidden there." Cai Yixue spoke normally. " However, For now..."


    " Patriarch, It''s urgent. The Niu Family hase to meet you."


    Cai Yixue''s words cut in the middle as a servant came running and bowed before Cai Yunhai.


    " Haha! Good, Very good!" Cai Yunhaiughed coldly as he nodded. " Prepare the meeting hall. After all, they are our esteemed guests."


    " As you wish, Patriarch Cai."


    Soon, Cai Yixue with her parents walked to the meeting hall and saw the First Elder and others of the Niu Family sitting there.


    " What is it, Niu Chao? Have youe to give Yixue her wedding gift?" Cai Yunhai smiled as he walked in.


    " Hehe, Wedding gift, Patriarch Cai?" Niu Chao''s face turned dark. " I should congratte Miss Yixue for her marriage."


    " However, I guess Patriarch Cai is forgetting about our betrothal contract. So, Have you prepared to face the consequences of breaching the contract?"


    " Oh, Contract you say?"

 Chapter 21: Crushing Niu Family

    <h4>Chapter 21: Crushing Niu Family</h4>


    " Indeed, Patriarch Cai. If your memories aren''t falling, the contract should be still with you." Niu Chao snorted. " And, I hope you won''t make excuses like you lost the contract or identally burnt it. After all, you know what it means to breach an imperial contract..."


    " Hmph! Niu Chao, You think I, Cai Yunhai, is a person who doesn''t keep his word?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " I know, The price of losing the contract was three hundred thousand gold taels."


    " However, I don''t need to pay for that as I still have the contract."


    " Then how is it possible that your eldest daughter, Cai Yixue married to another person?" Niu Chao snorted. " You think just because you are a powerful military family, You can treat our Niu Family as a joke?"


    " Just remember, Patriarch Cai. You have broken the marriage contract between our two families. I will make sure to impeach you in the imperial court."


    " Well? Those are very bold words, Brother Niu." Cai Yunhai looked at his servant who brought a paper scroll. " This should be the Thousand Year Peach paper contract issued by the Imperial Court, right?"


    " Hah, Indeed. I guess Patriarch Cai still knows about this, huh?" Niu Chao snorted as he took the contract. Looking at the insignia outside, he knew it was the authentic contract Cai Yunhai signed back then, without any tampering.


    " As you know, My son Niu Liang and your eldest daughter Cai Yixue were supposed to get married. However, since Cai Yixue is now married to someone else, You have broken the contract."


    " So, ording to this, You need to pay us four hundred thousand gold taels, or something of a simr value."


    " Four hundred thousand gold taels, huh? That''s a very big sum." Cai Yunhai nodded. " I would have definitely paid it...If I had agreed on this contract."


    " But, I don''t remember agreeing to it?"


    " What?" Niu Chao''s eyes narrowed. " Patriarch Cai, Are you backing away from your promise?"


    He unfurled the contract and showed to Cai Yunhai with a grin. " Are you forgetting that rejecting this contract is the same as the authority of the imperial family?"


    " How can I reject a contract which I didn''t sign in the first ce?" Cai Yunhai appeared to be baffled. " Steward, Can You see my signature?"


    " No, I can''t, My lord."


    " And you, Guard? Can you see it?"


    " My eyes are bad, My lord." The guard grinned wickedly as he walked near the contract, looking at it for a while. " Nope, I can''t see it."


    Niu Chao quivered in rage as he turned around the contract.


    " Damn it! You dare to y with us-"


    Before Niu Chao could finish his sentence, his eyes turned wide from shock. " Ho-How is that possible?"


    Clenching the contract tightly, his back covered with cold sweat.


    He could easily see his signature. But the ce where Cai Yunhai signed, it was nk!


    '' Im-Impossible! He signed it. Yes, I remember all that!''


    '' This is an authentic peach contract paper authorized by Imperial Family. How can it get tampered with?''


    " What happened, Brother Niu?" Cai Yunhai asked in aforting tone. " Are you alright? Your body looks so pale and you are sweating too much..."


    " This...This is deceit!" Niu Chao clenched his fist as he looked at Cai Yunhai. " Cai Yunhai... You know the consequences of fooling the Imperial Family!!"


    " I didn''t do anything at all." Cai Yunhai shrugged. " It''s you who is using me without any evidence. Now, Without any evidence, How can the Imperial Family me me?"


    " Da-Damn it!" Niu Chao held the scroll as he turned around. " We are leaving..."


    " Wait!"


    Cai Yunhai''s voice was like a p of thunder, making everyone stand still.


    " Where do you think you are going, Niu Chao."


    " Wh-What do you mean?" Niu Chao turned around and looked at Cai Yunhai. " I don''t want to stay here..."


    "'' You think my house is some sort of inn? You cane anytime, go anytime? Cai Yunhai gritted his teeth. " Not to mention, without any evidence, you dare to spout shit in my residence..."


    " Guards! Capture everyone else other than Niu Chao." Cai Yunhai ordered. " And give them hundred flogging!"


    " Yes, My Lord!"


    Old Yang''s eyes shed with a malevolent light as he took the guards and surrounded Niu Chao and everyone who came with him.


    " Also, About Niu Chao, Throw him in our family jail. Ask Niu Family to pay Ransome if they want to take him away."


    " Cai Yunhai! You dare?!"


    " Why wouldn''t I?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " Niu Chao, Are you forgetting that I am still one of the Three Great Generals of the Great Yan Kingdom?"


    " You think a merchant family like the Niu Family can disrespect my Cai Family like this?"


    Before Niu Chao could retort, Old Yang dragged him away. The guards of Cai Family looked at the Niu Family members with a dark smile.


    " A hundred floggings, is it?"


    " Alright, It won''t hurt if we make mistakes during counting, right?"


    " Kekeke, Second brother, I remember that I am very forgetful regarding the countings. So, If I make some mistakes during the count..."


    " No worries, Third Brother. My heart is very big. You can keep making mistakes." The guard patted hisrade.


    " Just remember, if you are making a mistake, It must not lessen than a hundred flogging."


    " And if it''s more than a hundred...Well...That''s Heaven''s will."


    The Niu n members shivered when they heard the guards of the Cai Family. However, they have no way to protest before the heavy handed guards of the Cai Family.


    " Hehe, Madame, How was my performance?" Cai Yunhai grinned as he looked at his wife Li Rou.


    " It was so so." Li Rou snorted lightly. " However, You did well to hold Niu Chao for ransom."


    " Hmph, To think I treated that bastard as a friend." Cai Yunhai sighed. " But it''s good that we overcame this problem."


    " Then what about Jia Hao and Yixue?" Li Rou asked in a soft voice.


    " Yixue decided to marry him properly. Since she chose Jia Hao, I can''t say anything." Cai Yunhai sighed. " I hope... They will do well."


    " I... I am sorry." Li Rou sighed. " I couldn''t give birth to a son for you."


    " Damn it, How many times I have told you to not think about such bullshit?" Cai Yunhai got annoyed a bit.


    " Yixue and Lingzhi are two gems of the family. You think they are any less than a son?"


    " Besides..." Cai Yunhai grinned as he whispered. " We are still healthy. I keep giving my best shots so you can get a son..."


    " Oh, You are so mischievous!" Li Rou blushed as she pushed Cai Yunhai away. " What if someone hears us?"


    " Hehe, So what? I don''t care..."

    " Well, Isn''t it a bit inappropriate for the Sister in Law enter the nuptial chamber instead of the bride?" Jia Hao gave a light chuckle when he saw Cai Lingzhi entering the room.


    " Not very funny, Brother inw." Cai Lingzhi shook her head lightly as she passed him a box.


    " Take this, This is Crimson Vigor Pill which will increase your physical strength." Cai Lingzhi spoke.


    " What about Miss Yixue?" Jia Hao asked her in a faint voice.


    " Elder Sister, She is a bit busy... But I am sure she wille here soon." Cai Lingzhi blushed a bit.


    " Mm, I just wanted to ask you a question, Sister inw." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Can I marry both the sisters?"


    Cai Lingzhi''s expression changed as her cheeks turned crimson.


    " Wh-What are you talking about? Hmph, If Sister Yixue hears about this, She will kick you out, Hmph!"


    Turning around, she walked out, she stopped before the footstep.


    " If you have capabilities, You can try it..."

    Extra chapter because I got Raiden Ei woohoo!

 Chapter 22: Khsitigarbha And Mara

    <h4>Chapter 22: Khsitigarbha And Mara</h4>


    Jia Hao took a breath of cold air as hey on the bed. He wasn''t lying earlier at all. After wandering around all day in Nanhai City, Jia Hao felt extremely tired.


    He found it strange at first. After all, even if he isn''t an athlete. His body wasn''t that weak.


    But then, thinking about that he is in a new and mysterious world like the Yun continent. Not only the world is vaster than the Tianshu Continent, but the presence of heaven and earth qi, gravity, the sun, and moon...everything was different.


    Perhaps the environment was the thing that made Jia Hao weaker than an average mortal.


    " Crimson Vigor Pill, Huh?" Jia Hao took out a pill from the box. The spiciness of the pill made his nose twitch and make his senses sharper.


    Just from the scent, he could feel the richness of the medicinal pills.


    '' Alchemy methods were long lost in the world. In theherworld, I only saw three masters of alchemy.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he used his Sage''s Divine Eyes of the Crimson Vigor Pill.


    Crimson Vigor Pill: Filled with a dense amount of medicinal energy. Upon eating, it will squeeze out all the potential of the body and use it to break through. However, upon using this pill, the chances of reaching the Profound Awakening Stage would decrease significantly.


    " Well? ording to the rules of this world, I can no longer reach the Profound Awakening Realm as my age has crossed the threshold. So, I don''t care about the side effects."


    Jia Hao shrugged as he ate the pill. Suddenly, he felt a burst of ming energy in his body, spreading across his flesh and meridians.


    Jia Hao felt he was sweating too much. So, he took off his clothes and only remained seated on the bed with an undergarment.


    " Fuck! Why it''s so hot?"


    Jia Hao panted as he sat cross legged and tried to enter a meditative state.


    The medicinal energy started to get less chaotic as it gathered in his lower abdomen first. After that, it slowly grew upwards, reaching straight into his brain.


    It was like a tree like structure, rooting in his dantian and spread all across his body like branches. Jia Hao felt a strange mix of pain and relief through his body.


    It was simr to when you apply a strong tiger balm. You can feel the powerful heat and itchiness on your skin as if it were burning, yet you can also feel your muscles rxing under the effect of the medicine.


    Jia Hao closed his eyes as he tried his best to concentrate the energy to improve his body.


    Suddenly, he could feel the Pot of Miracles inside his body buzzing lightly as it stabilized the overflowing energy.


    Feeling a strange, ethereal state, Jia Hao was lost in his memories.


    Although he had undergone eight reincarnations, his memories of each reincarnation were short and blurry due to the power of Granny Meng''s Tea.


    However, He could only recall all the memories when he was in theherworld. If he descends to the mortal world, the memories be fuzzy once again.


    Thanks to this, Jia Hao couldn''t be the protagonist with the power of eight lifetimes.


    However, this was different.


    After eating the Crimson Vigor Pill, Jia Hao could recall everything and with his Sage''s Divine Eyes, everything stored in his mind like a photographic memory.


    He recalled of his past reincarnations, along with his few years of stay in theherworld.


    '' Whooo! Damned King Yanluo! You always erased the memories of powerful stuff to not affect the karmic flow of the world.''


    Jia Hao cursed inwardly.


    After all, any person with a random mystical art from a ce like the Netherworld can make a big ruckus in the mortal world!


    Although Jia Hao spent his time there, he also learned many things about the Netherworld which is beyond the capabilities of a normal deceased soul.


    Closing his eyes, he savored the memories of the Netherworld, trying to find anything useful.


    " Amitabha, I can understand that your karmic fate is too turbid. s, even I can''t do anything at all. I seek your forgiveness, My child."


    " Hah, So even even the Great Khsitigarbha can''t do anything?" Jia hao raged as he looked at a frail old man before him, who was sweeping the floor.


    " I know it! You are just bullshitting with me, Imposter! Where is the real Great Khsitigarbha?"


    " Where is the imposing golden figure, whose head is covered with clouds and arms carries theherworld?"


    " Child, How can I lie?" The old man spokezily.


    " It''s just that maintaining that figure really aches my body. Look at my frail body. Do you want to strain my old bones more?"


    " Then at least teach me something."


    Jia Hao pointed at the building behind the old man. " Isn''t that the pavilion where all sorts of powerful techniques are stored? Give me something."


    " I can''t, Child."


    Khsitigarbha spoke in a mild voice. " Even if you learn the techniques, you will forget them when you reincarnate. So, unless you really break free from the strange karma you have, these techniques are useless for you."


    " I don''t care!"


    Jia Hao fell on his knees before Khsitigarbha. " Oh great one with infinitepassion, please help me from my miseries. Just one technique, give me your most powerful technique."


    " Haaah, Amitabha, This is so hard." Khistigarbha sighed. " You helped me so many years here. Consider it as fate..."


    " Here, Take this. This is called the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Technique." Khsitigarbha passed him a golden scroll. " Don''t tell anyone about this though."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, the great one." Jia Hao grinned. " I won''t tell anyone about this. Also, I will pray to you every month after I reincarnated once again."


    However, the happiness didn''tst long at all.


    The first line of the first page of the technique states,


    Requires a physical body.


    Jia Hao almost threw it in a fit of rage. After all, this means he can''t practice it here, as he was in his soul form here.


    However, after reading the technique thoroughly, he couldn''t help but sigh in disappointment.


    Even if he gets the means to remember the technique and try to cultivate it in the real world, it will take god knows how many years to cultivate it.


    And who knows, he might die within a year of reincarnation? So, this technique was like a piece of gold which turned into scrap metal.


    However, that was not the end.


    Jia Hao managed to meet another person or say, its consciousness.


    " I see... You are the child who rang the Bell of Grieverence so many times within a century."


    " Who-Who are you?" Jia Hao trembled as he looked around.


    The voice was so eerie, as it was an amalgamation of countless voices. Just hearing the voice, Jia Hao felt a mix of greed, anger, sorrow, and lust erupting in his consciousness.


    " Me? What should I say? I am the representation of the Netherworld''s punishment, the power which fuels the Six Paths of Reincarnations."


    " You might have heard my name, Hehe. My true name is... Mara."

 Chapter 23: It’s Kinda Big!

    <h4>Chapter 23: It''s Kinda Big!</h4>


    " Mara? You are that legendary demon? Yo-You are Mara?" Jia Hao was shocked when he heard that. " What are you doing in the Netherworld? And roaming free like this?"


    " Of course, Although the legends are slightly distorted, I am indeed the one who obstructed Buddha from achieving enlightenment." The eerie voice spoke.


    " But after that, I also ascended along with him but chose to remain in the Netherworld to reinforce the punishment of the afterlife."


    " Only because of me, the Six Paths of Samsara and the Eighteen Layers of Punishment are working wlessly."


    " After all, A good person can give justice, but only a bad guy knows how to punish properly, no?"


    Then, a gust of dark wind covered Jia Hao as he saw a demonic face emerge before him.


    " Hmm, Not bad. You managed to get your hands on Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts? To think someone would rip that geezer off."


    " But it looks like you can''t cultivate it, huh? Hahaha, After all, A body cultivation technique is nothing more than junk for a soul, no?"


    " How about this..." Mara''s voice became increasingly alluring. " I do have a technique that can help you."


    " Oh?" Jia Hao looked at him with interest. " What is it?"


    Suddenly, a dark scroll with a shiny obsidian outeryer materialized before Jia Hao, as it was bathing with a strange energy. Just looking at it, Jia Hao felt an irresistible urge to grab it.


    But his mind snapped as he took a few steps back. " Wh-What the hell was that? It feels so...wicked."


    " Wicked? Hoho, Not so. It''s simply amplifying your desires." Maraughed.


    " Behold, My greatest creation. Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Arts."


    " Rather than using a physical body, You can simply use energy or even emotions as the driving force, and do wonderful things."


    " With just a thought, you can make a calm man lose control, a righteous manmit evil, a virtuous womanmit adultery."


    " As long as thought remains in someone''s heart, You will be able to manipte them as you wish. Also, you can also draw strength from them, making your soul stronger and achieving a new realm."


    " This...This feels...Good." Jia Hao pondered. After all, this is practically a tailor made technique for him as he was in his soul form.


    However, Mara is practically the biggest demon who confronted Buddha. Is it really good to seek help from him?


    What if King Yanluo took this chance to mark him as a sinner and threw him into the eighteenyers of hell?


    " Haha, No worries. As long as you practice it, No one will be able to tell it."


    " Still...No." Jia Hao spoke. " I can''t ept this."


    " Hoho, Is it because you think it''s an evil technique and Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art is a righteous technique?"


    Mara sneered. " You have read the entire technique of Golden Arhat Vajra Body, right?"


    " Then tell me, What will happen if you reach the Heart Lotus stage?"


    " I will attain enlightenment and my heart will be clear as ss." Jia Hao replied.


    " Which means, you will transcend desires, right? Maraughed.


    ?" Think child, Think! If you reach this stage, you will be like those stale and dull monks."


    " Why do you think that old coot is helping you?" Maraughed.


    " Because you have the potential to attain enlightenment. And if you cultivate this, you might truly be an arhat, devoid of desires."


    " But, do you want to be an arhat? Don''t you want to enjoy riches? Don''t you want to be the man of a thousand beauties? Don''t you want to be a dragon among mortals? How can you do it if you have no desires?"


    " Therefore, I am not stopping you from cultivating that geezer''s technique. But merge it with mine and you will reach the pinnacle."


    " If Khsitigarbha has his desires, What is yours?"


    Jia Hao asked suddenly. " What will you aplish by giving your technique to me?"


    " Well, Two reasons." Mara shrugged. " First, I always wanted to fuse my technique with Khsitigarbha''s. But he never let me do it."


    " Secondly... Why would I give up the chance to spread chaos in the world?" Maraughed loudly.


    " Only three. Reincarnate three more times and you will finally be able to remember this entire technique even in the mortal world. So till then, practice a little here."


    " Go ahead, Child. Unleash your desires upon the world. After all, The world is yours to y!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao remembered all the memories, along with theplete techniques of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art and Six Desires Myriad Thought Art.


    However, before he could use the Six Desires Myriad Thought Art after three more reincarnations, he was abandoned by King Yanluo, arriving here.


    '' But now, I think Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art is the one I should practice first.''


    Feeling the building energy inside his body, Jia Hao started circting the energy ording to the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.


    '' A technique made of pure yang, hot as sun and pure as gold."


    " To cultivate this technique, one must temper the body first. After all, only a powerful vessel can contain a vast amount of energy without leaking."


    " First, Copper Skin thenes Blessed Flesh. After thates Iron Tendons, Jade Bones, and Mercury Marrow. Thenes River Meridians and Earthen Organs."


    The final two stages, the Energy Gathering and Complete Transformation."


    The eight cycles of the first chapter of the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts. Cultivating it will make someone achieve the body of Alms Monk.


    ording to the scroll, one needs to temper their body in various ways and endure hardships. Just to reach the Wandering Monk stage will take a minimum of two years even for the blessed individuals.


    However, Jia Hao used the energy of the Crimson Vigor Pill to forcefully temper his body.


    Gritting his teeth, he could feel the fiery pain increasing in his body. Yet, at the same time, he could also feel the subtle transformations urring inside his body.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, but Jia Hao felt his body condition was improving as his pain was lessening.


    Suddenly, a cracking sound in his body made him startled as if he was breaking a cocoon.


    Jia Hao opened his eyes as he looked at his body. Closing his eyes, he thought he probably reached the pinnacle of the first chapter.


    However, checking his body, Jia Hao''s face turned weird.


    '' So, a pill like crimson vigor pill can only make me reach till Mercury Marrow stage?'' Jia Hao mumbled.


    However, he could feel his body more thoroughly, the subtle flow of energy through his meridians and veins. He could also feel a powerful strength surging in his muscles and bones.


    However, the energy is stillcking to temper his organs. So, Jia Hao can only stop now.


    But the moment he opened his eyes, he felt a disgusting stench assaulting his nostrils. Thanks to his technique, even his senses have be sharper, making him feel extra nauseating.


    " Wh-What the fuck is this?" Jia Hao cursed when he saw ayer of ck oily filth covering his body.


    " Ahh, Could it be...It''s the legendary Marrow Washing? I have expelled all my body impurities?" Jia Hao was startled. Hurriedly, he found a pot of water and dipped a cloth in it, scrubbing off his body thoroughly from the impurities.


    However, as he was doing this, the door opened as a figure stepped into the room.


    " You...You have woke up?"


    Jia Hao was startled as he turned around and saw it was none other than his newly wedded wife, Cai Yixue.


    However, Before Cai Yixue could say anything, his gaze fell on Jia Hao''s perfectly sculpted nude body as his face turned crimson.


    "Never mind, I wille backter. And... I will call a maid to help you."


    Cai Yixue turned around and dashed out of the room, leaving Jia Hao stunned. Biting her lips, Cai Yixue calmed her thumping heart.


    '' En...It''s kinda...Big.''

 Chapter 24: Onii Chan!

    <h4>Chapter 24: Onii Chan!</h4>


    " What? You mean I was meditating for A whole day?" Jia Hao was surprised as he looked at Cai Yixue.


    " Indeed, Although you took the Crimson Vigor Pill, I didn''t expect you to take one day to digest it." Cai Yixue nodded. " Can you stretch out your arm? I want to check something."


    " Huh?"


    Jia Hao saw Cai Yixue was holding his arm as if she was checking something. Her expression turned strange as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " This... How is this possible?" Cai Yixue asked with a shocked voice. " You still don''t have a trace of internal qi?"


    " What? Really?" Jia Hao frowned. " But I feel my body is very different though?"


    Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with a confused expression as she turned around and started to walk. " Follow me, We shall see it."


    Soon, they arrived in a small training courtyard, where both of them were alone. Cai Yixue pointed at a stone b as she spoke. " Lift that stone b, so I can judge your strength."


    Jia Hao nodded as he walked up and held the stone b. Without breaking a sweat, he lifted it up. " Well, This looks like a hundred Kg stone b. I can easily lift this up."


    Then he saw a bigger stone b and walked to lift it. His muscles were strained, but he also managed to lift it up and carry it properly.


    " This... You sure you aren''t using internal qi?" Cai Yixue was surprised.


    " Nope, I don''t think so."


    " Your strength is already equivalent to the seventh stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. And, that''s only your pure physical strength."


    " Also... Now I am seeing, You are looking much different than before." Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " You look taller, fairer, and stronger than before."


    " Maybe, The Crimson Vigor Pill mutated and it''s the effect?" Jia Hao smiled. After all, He didn''t expect the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art would be so powerful and effective.


    " I see... Maybe that''s the reason." Cai Yixue didn''t ask him longer as she turned around. " Lingzhi wished to meet you before she left, But you were in deep meditation. So, I didn''t wake you up."


    " She left? Where did she go?" Jia Hao was taken aback.


    " Tianshan Academy, which is situated on the Northern teau of Great Yan Kingdom. Initially, she came here after taking leave for my marriage."


    " Since the situation of the family improved, she returned back to her academy."


    " Oh..." Jia Hao nodded. But a sting of sorrow still hit his heart. After all, he couldn''t bid farewell to Lingzhi. It was unknown when they would meet again.


    " Um..So... I should also go..." Jia Hao remembered that he also had a life in Tianshu World as he turned around.


    " Where...Are you going?"


    " Well, I am going out for some...Work." Jia Hao smiled. " You know, I can''t just produce those amazing things out of nowhere, right?"


    " I will be back in a few hours...Or a day maximum."


    " Sure..."


    Cai Yixue wanted to say something, but her voice didn''te out. Seeing Jia Hao''s back, she couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    '' Well, It was originally my decision to keep this marriage as a facade. But why do I feel sour now seeing him stay away from me?''


    She shook her head and her calm demeanor returned as she turned around and looked at her maid.


    " Minmin, Go and ask the financier that I will check all the ount books today. Also, Ask Uncle Yang and Pharmacist Mo if we got the name of the mole."


    " Yes, First Miss." Minmin nodded as she bowed before Cai Yixue.


    " But Miss, Your wedding night already passed. And... You guys..."


    " What?"


    Cai Yixue blushed a bit as she looked away. " He was meditating. So, I slept on the sofa in that room. We spent the night in the same room, what else are we supposed to do?"


    " A lot of things though..." Minmin mumbled.


    " Damn it, A maid like you is getting too yful, huh?"


    Cai Yixue red as she started to tickle Minmin.


    " Ahahaha! Ahahaha! Nyoo, First Miss...Hahaha, I ask for...Hahaha, Forgiveness!"


    Minmin almost fell on her knees as her body quivered from the tickle, wiping her tears afterughing so hard, Minmin left to fulfill Cai Yixue''s demands.


    " En, I hope everything will be alright." Cai Yixue mumbled. When she returned to Jia Hao''s room, she saw the room was empty.


    " Huh, So he left?" Cai Yixue frowned. " But strange... I didn''t see him leaving though?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    *YAWNN!*


    Jia Hao woke up and saw it was around 6 AM in the morning back in Tianshu World. As expected, Nine hours have passed in the Tianshu World while around Two days worth of time passed in the Yun Continent.


    Jia Hao got up and felt his body was as strong as it was in the Yun continent. Therefore, after getting fresh, he wore a tracksuit and walked out from his room.


    As he walked outside, Jia Hao saw Su Xing''er wearing a tracksuit and sexy tank top was outside of the vi, getting ready for jogging.


    " Huh? Hao? What are you doing here?" Su Xing''er took off her headphones as she looked at Jia Hao with surprise.


    " Well, I also have the habit of morning exercise. I didn''t expect you here too." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Hoh, You were so weak in outdoor activities. Are you trying to improve your body now?" Su Xing''er spoke yfully. " Anyway, Since your big sister is the champion of track and field and also master in wing chun, It''s my duty to keep my little brother fit."


    " Who are you calling little brother?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes as he jogged with Su Xing''er. " Our birthdays are the same, alright?"


    " I am three seconds older than you." Su Xing''er retorted.


    " That clock must be faulty." Jia Hao snorted.


    " Hmph! Why don''t we here?" Su Xing''er snorted lightly as she pointed ahead. " Let''s go for a thousand meterp. The one who wouldplete first will be the little one."


    " Hehe, I am all in." Jia Hao stretched his body as he looked at Su Xing''er. " Hehe, Shal we begin?"


    " 3...2...1... GO!"


    Su Xing''er''s body moved as she dashed out. After all, Thousand meterp was something she did regrly. And she knew Jia Hao would probably pant for his breath after a hundredps.


    However, her eyes widened when she saw Jia Hao soon about to catch her up.


    " Not bad! At least you don''t have a shit body." Su Xing''er smiled. " But thisp doesn''t requires only speed. It also needs endurance and strength."


    Saying that, Su Xing''er increased her pace as sweat glistened her forehead and abs. After all, having an athletic body, her abdomen was simply fat free and well toned, making any man drool at its sight.


    " What you said is the truth, Xing''er." Su Xing''er looked at her side with wide eyes as she saw Jia Hao was waving his hands to her.


    " But thankfully, I have all three of them." Jia Hao grinned as he dashed out, leaving behind Su Xing''er.


    After a whole minute, Su Xing''er managed to reach the finishing line. But at that moment, his eyes fell on Jia Hao who took off his top and wiped out his sweat.


    " Mm, I never thought you had such a well toned body, Jia Hao." Su Xing''er felt her heart flutter when she saw Jia Hao in that state.


    " Hehe, Why? Am I looking more handsome today?" Jia Hao grinned as he passed the water bottle to Su Xing''er.


    " Maybe?"


    Su Xing''er whispered as she turned away, drinking the water.


    " Now, Fulfill your bet, Xing''er." Jia Hao chuckled.


    Su Xing''er''s expression turned red as she turned away, speaking in a low voice.


    " O...Onii Chan!~"

 Chapter 25: DLC Content

    <h4>Chapter 25: DLC Content</h4>


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard Su Xing''er. " Wh-What did you say? I... I couldn''t hear that properly. Can you..."


    " Jia Hao...Do not...push your luck." Su Xing''er red at Jia Hao as she showed him her fist.


    " Well, At least...Call me Brother Jia from now." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Hmph, You can dream on." Su Xing''er snorted. " Also, Can you just stop unting your abs?"


    " Why?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Are you falling for me?"


    " What a load of crap." Su Xing''er rolled her eyes as she looked at the sky. " Let''s go, we have to return. Aren''t you going to school?"


    " Well, Purple Cloud Academy doesn''t care about the attendance too much, does it?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Well, That only applies to extraordinary students. Su Xing''er chuckled. " Are you one of them though?"


    " Not now." Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er. " But I will be one of them soon."


    " Anyway, Let''s go back. it''s already time and Mom probably finished making breakfast." Su Xing''er spoke.


    Jia Hao nodded as he followed Su Xing''er back to the vi. As they returned, Su Xing''er''s eyes widened when she saw sour and spicy congee, fried veggies with saucy noodles, and bacon strips, the aroma of the breakfast made their stomach grumble.


    " Whoaa! Mum, What''s with such a delicious breakfast today?" Su Xing''er spoke as she sat on the table.


    " Xing''er, Go and wash your hands first." Su Lan looked at Su Xing''er.


    " Ugh, Big Sister, since when did you be nagging like mom?" Su Xing''er pouted. Jia Hao washed his hands as he took his heat.


    " Well, Sister Lan isn''t saying anything bad though. It''s just you who are being unruly." Jia Hao tapped on the table.


    " Aggh! Fine, I will be right back!" Su Xing''er got up, but turned around and looked at them. " Do NOT start eating without me."


    " Well, I guess everyone has arrived." Su Yuqing ced a bowl of custard on the table and seated. " Huh, Xing''er, Hao''er, Did you went outside for exercise?"


    " Yes, Aunt Su." Jia Hao nodded. " I was feeling a bit stuffy. But it''s good that Xing''er kept mepany."


    " Good! I can see the improvement!" Su Yunqi smiled. Su Lan looked at her as she spoke. " Mom, What''s the good news you wanted to share with us?"


    " Well, First of all, It''s our family''s first breakfast after Jia Hao joined us. So, I had to do something for your new brother, right?" Su Yunqi winked.


    " But, there is another thing. I went to the Jade Auction with Jia Haost night. And guess what? We got a Green ss Royal Jade!"


    " Combining with the other jade pieces we received, we made a profit of 50 Million in a single night!"


    " And it''s all thanks to Hao''er."


    Su Lan and Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao with surprise. " Really? That''s why you went with mom?"


    " Jia Hao, Since when you had the ability to appraise jade stones?" Su Lan became curious. " Can you teach me?"


    " Huh? No way someone like his got such ability." Su Xing''er retorted. " I mean, I heard only old geezers at the end of their life appraise stuff like that."


    " Well, Will you believe me if I say I have Yin Yang Eyes?" Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice.


    " Hmm, Really?" Su Lan became interested.


    " Nope, Not at all." Su Xing''er spoke.


    " I believe."


    Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao with utter fondness and affection. " The way you handled the things there, I believe in you, Hao''er."


    " Hmm, Strange... Is it because I haven''t seen you yesterday properly or..." Su Yunqi''s finger traced on Jia Hao''s cheeks, making him shiver a bit.


    " You look much more mature and handsome, Hao''er. And, a little more buffed than usual." Su Yunqi smiled.


    " Wait, I know that, right?" Su Xing''er also blurted out. " I thought I was taller than Jia Hao. But this morning, He is two inches higher than me!"


    " I guess you all just got confused." Jia Hao slurped the congee as he spoke.


    " You know, There is a thing called the Mand Effect? A lot of things that appear to be right and perfect are actually not right. It''s just a little trick of the brain, nothing more."


    " Is that so?" Everyone looked at Jia Hao.


    Su Xing''er finished her breakfast and got up. " Alright, I am leaving for the school. Big Sis, Brother Hao, Are youing?"


    " Hao''er, You can stay at home till you feel you are ready to go out."


    Su Yunqi sighed as she felt Jia Hao might still not be ready to face the school after his parents'' death.


    " Err...I guess I won''t go today." Jia Hao pondered as he nodded. " I will go from tomorrow."


    " Very well. I am also not going today. Because I have to attend my musical rehearsals." Su Lan spoke. " You know, I have the show to attend three dayster."


    '' Oh yeah, How did I forget?'' Jia Hao''s memory was sharper now as he remembered all the details of Su Lan''s characteristics.


    Unlike hyperactive Su Xing''er, Su Lan is more reserved. Not only did she excel in academics, she also had talent in music and singing. Inheriting the charming and merciful nature of her mother, she really gave the vibe of a kind big titty onee san.


    '' However, I believe something will definitely happen during the show day. Hmm, Thankfully, I possess enough strength for now.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he got up.


    " Aunt Su, I wonder if the problem you were facing earlier is now gone?" Jia Hao asked tactfully. After all, he knew Li Tao used this opportunity to ckmail Su Yunqi, breaking her thoroughly.


    But since Jia Hao is here, there is no way he would let go of that bastard.


    " En, You are right. I urgently needed some cash. But guess what? You solved the problem." Su Yunqi smiled brightly.


    " Aunt Su, You still have to be careful."


    Jia Hao thought that it would be still good to remind Su Yunqi about Li Tao. However, he can''t be too direct as it would raise suspicions.


    " What do you mean, Hao''er?" Su Yunqi was a bit confused.


    " Well, What I am saying is... I think someone is trying to target you, Aunt Su. Like, You know...Someone trying to entrap you and ckmail you."


    " Like...Take the example of that man who was standing outside our mansion that day. What''s his name..."


    " Li Tao..." Su Yunqi mumbled as she fell into a deep thought. " But, Why would he..."


    " No, He could." Su Yunqi pinched her dress as her smile returned. " Hao''er, You already helped me too much. Now, I shall take care of it, alright?"


    " Yes, Aunt Su. I have faith in you." Jia Hao nodded.


    After breakfast, Jia Hao dressed up and walked outside. After all, he can''t just stay in the house all the time.


    It''s Tianshu World, the world of Urban Fantasy which he dedicated years in one reincarnation. There are a lot of ces he wishes to visit and a lot of girls...Cough, a lot of people he wishes to meet.


    '' Not to mention, if this is the game world, I might also find the stuffs of paid DLC.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Jia Hao purchased the highest subscription to Urban Fantasy, so he could get additional help in the game thanks to it. As it waspletely AI powered game, the possibilities were vast, but grinding the game can be too boring without some extra help.


    Not to mention, such paid DLC content is very important if someone wants to directly affect the flow of the plot.


    " Hmm, First should be...The old bookstore."

 Chapter 26: Southern Edge Dojo

    <h4>Chapter 26: Southern Edge Dojo</h4>


    There are a lot of spots in the game where a person can find strange items. Some of them are super useful while some of them are...Weird. However, since Jia Hao yed with the paid version of the game, he knew many lies and secrets that ordinary yers didn''t know.


    Soon, he appeared before an old bookstore and walked inside.


    " Hmm? Wee, Young man." The shopkeeper was an old man who was reading a magazine. " What do you want?"


    " Where I can find the Historical Section?"


    " The fifth shelf." The old man spoke as he resumed reading his newspaper.


    Jia Hao walked and saw a shelf full of historical books. There he used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [The Records of Revolutions of 19th Century]


    [ Ind Wars and Effect]


    [ War and Peace]


    [ My Struggle: A biography of a failed Austrian painter who made a big political careerter on. Won Noble Peace Prizeter on]


    " Hold up?!"


    Jia Hao''s face turned strange as he picked up the book. " Ah, I see... This is the one."


    The book was pretty dusty outside, with signs of pages turning yellow. But for Jia Hao, this book was the one he was trying to find.


    " Uncle, I want to buy this book." Jia Hao spoke as he showed the book to the old man. The old man''s expression changed as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Err...Kid, There are new versions of this book here. How about I give you one of them?"


    " No, I want to buy this particr, old one." Jia Hao shook his head. " You know, It gives and antique feeling."


    " But, New books are good too." The old man mumbled. " How about this? Seeing your enthusiasm, I will give you a discount."


    " Nope, I want to buy this one." Jia Hao replied stubbornly. " Here, take the money and I am going."


    " Young man, Wait!" The old man shouted as his expression turned dark. " I guess you noticed it, right?"


    " Oh?"


    Jia Hao gave a grin as he flipped open the book pages. With a swift movement, he took out three coupons of Mist Cloud Massage Parlor.


    " I remember as long as you have four coupons, you can get one day of free service for everything in that massage parlor?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I wonder if your wife..."


    " Damn it, Shut up already!" The old man shouted. " Were you sent by that cougar or what?"


    " Nope, Uncle. I am just here to buy a book."


    " Fine, Kid, Come and give them back to me." The old man sighed. " You know how much I have suffered to collect three of them? Not to mention, hiding them under that cougar''s watchful eyes..."


    " Well, Uncle, Why don''t we make a trade?" Jia Hao spoke. " Give me something like an antique trinket and I will return this to you."


    " Arrgh, Fine." The old man sighed. " What a bad morning today. Here, Take this."


    The old man ced an ancient bronze coin on the table. It had intricate patterns with a square hole in the middle.


    Jia Hao ced the book down and took the coin hurriedly. " Thank you, Uncle. See you againter."


    " Damn it!" The old man cursed as he hurriedly hid the coupons. " Where did this unlucky star came from? And...How did he know about that coin?"


    Jia Hao walked to a secluded alley as he looked at the coin.


    [ Ancient Ceremonial Coin: It contains some strange energy sealed inside]


    '' In the game, It had a hidden attribute. Once used, it will increase a random talent of yours by two grades.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly. The moment he crushed the coin, he felt a surge of warmth through his body.


    [ Strange but pure energy detected! Are you willing to use it to upgrade Sage''s Divine Eyes?]


    Jia Hao was surprised as he nodded. His vision darkened as he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. But it slowly subsided after a few moments.


    He felt his vision became clearer once again and the world around him became much more vibrant.


    To try his upgraded Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao walked out and gazed at a person.


    Name: Jing Han


    Age: 28


    Remarks: Possesses ordinary strength and a total asset of 500,000 Yuan.


    Recent Future: One hourter, He will find his crush eloped with another man.


    Jia Hao was stunned as he rubbed his eyes. " Holy shit! Thi-This is amazing! I can now even see the future of people like this?"


    Out of excitement, Jia Hao began to try his new ability more and more. Suddenly, he looked at a girl passing by him and entering a building.


    " Ah, Isn''t this Southern Edge Dojo?" Jia Hao paused his steps as he looked at the building. " This ce, One can actually learn martial arts and sword techniques. But too bad, it''s really a slow process."


    " If I didn''t have Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, I would havee here. But I guess its useless now." Jia Hao shrugged. But when his eyes fell on the beautiful girl entering the dojo, his expression changed.


    [ Name: Jiang Ruoyu]


    [ Age: 22]


    [Remarks: Practioner of Eight Triagram Palms and Three Styles Sword Art. Daughter of Destiny with a tragic end]


    [ Recent Future: One hourter, Due to the opponent''s scheme, She lost her dojo and dignity]


    '' Oh wait, I remember now.''


    Jia Hao''s eyes widened when he saw that. He thought only the Su Family was suffering from the bad ending plot. But now, he felt like there were simply too many bad endings here.


    With interest, Jia Hao walked into the dojo as he looked at the receptionist.


    " Wee! Have youe here to register in the dojo?"


    Before Jia Hao could even speak, the receptionist hurriedly spoke. " If you join right now, We can give 20%...No, 30% discount."


    " No, I am here to...Uh...Just to look around?"


    Jia Hao scratched his head. The receptionist sighed as she slumped back on the chair. " You also came to watch the duel? Just go to the first floor."


    " Alright..." Jia Hao nodded as he walked to the first floor.


    The first floor looked like a traditional dojo with all sorts of traditional equipment. Jia Hao''s eyes fell on the opponent of Jiang Ruoyu who looked like an inder.


    [ Name: Azaki Toshi]


    [ Age: 32]


    [ Remark: Practioner of True Judo. Scumbag viin who preys on women by cheating. Knows about folk medicines]


    [ Recent Future Points: By using strength increasing powder on his and aphrodisiac in Jia Ruoyu''s drink, He will win the match]


    Then he turned around and looked at an unassuming young man.


    [Name: Chen Ye]


    [ Age: 20]


    [Remark: Comes from an ordinary family. Disciple of Southern Edge Dojo, In love with Jiang Ruoyu]


    [Recent Future Events: Three dayster, he went to confess his feelings to Jiang Ruoyu. But he would find Jiang Ruoyu getting banged by Azaki inside the dojo, making him a cuck]


    " Ah yes, The male lead, huh? What a fucking joke."


    " Azaki thinks he can win the match, huh?" Jia Hao snorted as he walked in.


    " Not under my watch."

    Chapters shall be locked after this chapter. And a light lemon scene with MC and Jiang Ruoyu afterwards.

 Chapter 27: Flipping The Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 27: Flipping The Disaster</h4>


    My name is Chen Ye. I am just twenty years old this year.


    I have been practicing the Three Style Sword Art and Eight Triagram Palms from Southern Edge Dojo for two years.


    The old master was a talented martial artist who made our dojo''s name shine in the past. However, in recent years, the dojo''s condition has been deteriorating.


    Old Master passed awayst year and Miss Jiang took the position of the head. I have to admit, she is the perfect representation of beauty and strength.


    She already got a degree in Physical Fitness from Taishan University and is now dedicated herself to the Southern Edge Dojo.


    However, this bastard Azaki, fucking inder. He was a judo instructor, but whenever I saw his face, I just wanted to punch him hard.


    At first, he merely used to nder our dojo. But as time passed, he even used his disciples to attack our dojo disciples. A few days ago, in the name of friendly exchange, the judo practitioners almost made five of our disciples hospitalized.


    Miss Jiang was very angry and finally challenged that bastard to a duel. I hope Miss Jiang crushes that bastard and makes his dojo club shut down.


    But I don''t know why, but I am feeling a strange uneasiness. Never mind, it must be my illusion.


    Hehe, I always had a crush on Sister Jiang. After she wins today, I will confess my love for her. Mm, just look at her beauty, but she never unts it.


    Sister Jiang, You can do it. Then, We will be together...


    .


    .


    Azaki grinned as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu, who came out wearing a traditional martial artist robe. However, the tight robe only outlined her curvaceous figure.


    Her proud breasts remained firm as mountains as she stood before Azaki.


    " Not bad, Miss Jiang. You should definitely try in the fashion industry. Why waste your beauty in such a rundown ce like Southern Edge Dojo?"


    " Mr. Toshi, Your Judo Club has been harassing our Southern Edge dojo members. And thanks to your ndering and maniption, we have lost a lot of disciples." Jiang Ruoyu snorted.


    " Today''s duel shall decide whose martial arts are superior. The loser has to close down their dojo and advertise the opponent''s dojo."


    " Indeed, Why not? I would love to crush you beneath me." Azaki grinned as he snapped his finger. " But before the duel starts, let''s have a tea ceremony."


    Jiang Ruoyu snorted as she saw the maid of their dojo bring tea cups to them. However, suddenly, she tripped and fell down.


    " Whoa! Be careful!"


    Jiang Ruoyu shouted, but a young man held the falling teacups, not letting them spill.


    " Well, It''s alright. Here, Your cups." The young man smiled as he passed the cups to Azaki and Jiang Ruoyu.


    Azaki''s expression turned a bit stiff when he saw the cup before him. He couldn''t help but re at the maid who brought the teacup.


    '' This bitch! Even if I told her to be careful, she still fucked up. Now, Which cup has the aphrodisiac?''


    '' Nevermind, Even if the cups get exchanged, I can still get a rush of adrenaline though aphrodisiac.'' Azaki chuckled inwardly.


    After all, till now, he never failed to grab a woman, be it by seduction or force. He was truly a blessed scumbag after all.


    '' Just a frail girl, what can she do to me?'' Azaki took a sip as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu.


    Jiang Ruoyu held the teacup and took a sip. " Interesting, The tea is pretty...Good today." Jiang Ruoyu mumbled as she couldn''t help but stare at the handsome young man before her.


    She had never seen him before, but he was defiantly pleasing to the eyes.


    Chen Ye walked to Jiang Ruoyu as he spoke. " Sister Jiang, Don''t worry, I shall be cheering for you."


    Jiang Ruoyu smiled as she looked at Chen Ye. " I appreciate that, Junior Brother Chen. Don''t worry, I will win."


    " Hehe, I hope so, Sister Jiang. After you win, I have an important thing to tell you." Chen Ye spoke in an honest voice.


    Jiang Ruoyu felt a strange emotion in her heart as if she could feel what Chen Ye was going to confess. " Ahem, We shall see about thatter."


    Finishing the tea, Jiang Ruoyu and Azaki stood face to face as they got into their stances.


    " Alright, I shall keep it short. I don''t like to y for long." Azaki''s face was slowly turning red as he felt a heat through his body.


    Jiang Ruoyu also felt a surge of energy through her body, as if her body was brimming with power. " Very well, I will also try my best to not drag this fight. I shall let you the our country''s martial arts power."


    " Hehe, Kono Baka! Lightning Kick!"


    Azaki felt his body was burning as his body shifted forward,unching a powerful kick towards Jiang Ruoyu.


    " Eight Trigram Palms! Mountain Blocks Water!"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s palm moved as it fell like a mountain, swatting Azaki''s kick away. The movement was subtle but the strength behind Jiang Ruoyu''s palm made Azaki take a step back.


    Without waiting for her opponent to attack, Jiang Ruoyu''s body moved like flowing water, her palms turning into a blur.


    " Eight Trigram Palms! Wind Chasing Palms!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM!*


    Azaki got pushed back more and more as Jiang Ruoyu''s attack fell like a barrage on him. Raising his arms, he fended off most attacks, but his arms also went numb.


    " Damn it! Let me show you what true power means!" Azaki became angry as he clenched his fist.


    " Gate Breaking Fist!"


    " Heaven and Earth Shifting Palm!"


    Jiang Ruoyu took a step back as she could feel Azaki''s fist charging toward her like a powerful spear. However, she felt that her strength had increased greatly, and she could use this as an opportunity.


    Her right arm became soft like silk as it deflected the strength of Azaki''s fist. And, her other arm shit toward Azaki''s chest, which was defenseless at this moment.


    That''s the power of Heaven and Earth Shifting palm can be used for both offense and defense simultaneously. Taking the chance, Jiang Ruoyu blocked Azaki''s attack and retaliated, making him groan in pain.


    Azaki fell to the ground as he spasmed for breath.


    " You fell to the ground. You have lost."


    Jiang Ruoyu snorted as she turned around, trying to leave.


    " You bitch! Stop!"


    Azaki saw the opportunity as he got up, rushing towards Jiang Ruoyu like a maddened bull. Jiang Ruoyu''s expression changed as she felt she couldn''t block him.


    " Well, Pipe down!"


    A fist appeared out of nowhere and itnded on the jaws of Azaki, making him fly backward. A pair of bloodied teeth flew out as Azaki fell on the ground motionless.


    Jiang Ruoyu looked at her savior with gratefulness. " Thank you for saving me. To think he would attack me from behind."


    " Well, No worries. It''s my pleasure to help you, Miss." The young man smiled.


    " En, I have never seen you before. My name is Jiang Ruoyu, the current head of Southern Edge Dojo."


    " My name is Jia Hao." Jia Hao smiled. " I have been an admirer of Miss Jiang for a long time."


    Turning around, he looked at the disciples of the Judo Club. " As your leader promised, the judo club is closed from today. If I see any of you in this area, I will break your legs."


    " Also, Don''t forget to distribute the flyers of our Southern Edge Dojo."


    " Am I clear?"


    " Y-Yes!"


    The students hurriedly carried Azaki away. But before he felt it, Jia Hao saw a string of ck energy rise from Azaki''s body and enter his body.

    No matter where, Chen Ye will take the L. Kek.

 Chapter 28: Taking Reward

    <h4>Chapter 28: Taking Reward</h4>


    The Six Desires Myriads Thought Arts is more like a metal or soul cultivation art mixed with energy arts.


    At first, one needs to create a seed of desire inside their body. To create it, one needs to devour seven emotions emanating from the human body.


    Joy, Anger, Sadness, Horror, Love, Hate, and Desire are the seven emotions.


    Meanwhile, the Desire for Flesh, Desire for Recognition, Desire to Eat, Desire to Live, Desire to See, and Desire to Hear are the six basic desires of a being.


    Each emotion and desire create a powerful flow of energy in reality, which affects the real world. Such energy is abundant and almost perpetual, as there is no end to desires and emotions.


    However, like harvesting metals from the ocean, it''s almost impossible for even known individuals to reap benefits from such formless energy.


    But who was Mara? He is the embodiment of all evil thoughts and desires of a living being!


    His Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Arts can harness power from other people''s emotions and desires, using it against them.


    After all, it''s what if your opponent is invincible? A small crack in his heart is enough for you to manipte him.


    Jia Hao already learned the initial mantra from his heart. Now, he felt he got a good amount of anger and hatred from Azaki''s body. The dark energy condensed inside his body, turning into a small grain of ck rice.


    '' Interesting, I wonder how I can use it?'' Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu.


    " Well, Miss Jiang, If you have time, how about we talk about something?" Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Jiang Ruoyu.


    " About what?" Jiang Ruoyu was surprised.


    " About the Southern Edge Dojo''s loan, I guess?"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s expression changed instantly when she heard about that. " Uh, Yes..."


    Chen Ye looked at Jiang Ruoyu''s nervous appearance when he saw that. She wasn''t nervous even while facing Azaki. Yet, She is frowning before Jia Hao?


    " Well, The match has ended and Souther Edge Dojo won by fair and square means." Jia Hao''s voice was loud. " Please, Everyone can return as we have something to talk about in private."


    " Not bad, Lady Jiang really mastered the Eight Trigram Palms."


    " Indeed, Although it''s sad to see that I couldn''t able to see the Three Styles Sword Art."


    " Don''t worry, there are martial arts tournaments in future. You can see there."


    Jiang Ruoyu smiled lightly when she saw the positive response among the crowd. After all, reputation is the most important thing for a dojo, and she managed to grow it among the people.


    Seeing everyone leaving, Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao. " Are you from thepany? I know the deadline has been crossed but..."


    " But you don''t have any money to pay, right?" Jia Hao spoke with a bright smile. " So calcting the interest and the fine money after crossing the deadline... How much money you need to pay?"


    " Two...Two million." Jiang Ruoyu spoke in a suppressed voice.


    " Wrong, It''s five million!" Jia Hao yfully corrected her.


    Although Jiang Ruoyu''s original fate is supposed to be the sex ve of Azaki, Jia Hao also knows some additional information about the Southern Edge Dojo.


    Due to some reasons, Jiang Ruoyu''s father borrowed money from one of his friends. However, he never thought the so called friend was a actually a ck bellied loan shark.


    When Jiang Ruoyu''s father was on the sick bed, the loan sharks already started to pester him. And thus, the loan amount increased by dishonest means and now it''s on Jiang Ruoyu to pay it.


    Looking at Chen Ye, Jia Hao couldn''t help but chortle.


    In Jiang Ruoyu''s storyline, the yer assumes the body of Chen Ye. If he couldn''t manage to avert the bad ending of Jiang Ruoyu, he had to see Jiang Ruoyu getting banged by Azaki.


    But if he managed to defeat Azaki on his own, the yer could go on a romantic plot with Jiang Ruoyu. But of course, it was truly hair clutching process to raise five million yuan for dojo''s debt.


    Only after crossing these two hurdles, Chen Ye (Who is also the yer) can live a happy life with Jiang Ruoyu.


    But well, Since Jia Hao is here, he decided to be a little sweet viin.


    " What? Five million! You are lying to me!" Jiang Ruoyu shouted.


    " Well, Unfortunately, It looks like you didn''t read the terms and conditions in the end of the contract, which was written of the size of microns." Jia Hao smiled.


    " And ording to that, the moment you miss the deadline, the interest rate of debt will turn intopound interest, doubling the interest rate instantly. And just like that, You have to give five million now."


    " And you know, right? If you are unable to pay..." Jia Hao sighed. " It would be sad to see a century old dojo closing down."


    " Yo-You! I won''t give up on my dojo!" Jiang Ruoyu snouted.


    " Well, I don''t think your martial arts will help in front of the bank." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " But well, I guess I forgot to tell you something. I am not from the loanpany at all." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Then?"


    Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao with a gawking face. Not from thepany? Then who is Jia Hao? And why does he know so much?


    " I am someone who is willing to pay all of your debt off." Jia Hao spoke. " But, There is a small little price you need to pay."


    " Oh? Really?" Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao with a cold face. " What is it?"


    " Before saying that, How about this?" Jia Hao took a step back and looked at Jiang Ruoyu. " I heard some rumors about you, Miss Jiang. I heard, if someone of your age manages to defeat you, they can start courting you?"


    " Th-That..." Jiang Ruoyu was flustered as she looked away. " I was just excited at that time and announced that. This doesn''t mean..."


    " Well, I don''t care." Jia Hao spoke. " How about this? I am curious about your Eight Trigram Palms. I hope you aren''t tired after fighting with Azaki?"


    " What? You want me to fight with-"


    " If you win, I will give you five million."


    Jia Hao added the condition, making Jiang Ruoyu''s pupil shrink. Seeing Jia Hao''s serious face, she felt like he wasn''t joking at all.


    " Very well, Since it''s two of us alone, We can fight properly."


    Jia Hao and Jiang Ruoyu distanced themselves as they looked at each other. Without dying a second, Jiang Ruoyu''s body moved as she appeared beside Jia Hao.


    " Mountain Flipping Palm!"


    " Block!"


    Jia Hao merely raised his arm to block Jiang Ruoyu''s attack. Jiang Ruoyu sneered, feeling the victory was within her grasp.


    However, Jiang Ruoyu''s expression changed when her palm blocked by Jia Hao.


    She felt like she was attacking a mountain of granite, making her attack simply futile.


    No matter how much technique one has grasped, in front of absolute strength, everything with fail.


    It''s like if a kid knows a powerful martial art, a grown up with real strength can still tackle him easily.


    " Well, My turn." Jia Hao grinned as he raised his arm and punched Jiang Ruoyu.


    " Rippling Lake Defense!"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s expression changed as she used both of her palm to block his punch. However, she felt she got pushed back a dozen meters instantly, making her palms numb.


    But before she could do anything, Jia Hao already appeared near her, holding her waist and lifting her like a princess.


    " This...Let me go! You rascal!" Jiang Ruoyu flushed as she tried to struggle, but Jia Hao didn''t let her go.


    " Well, I win. And since I have won... How about I im my reward?"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s eyes turned wide as she saw Jia Hao lowering his head and kissing her lips.

 Chapter 29: Price of Five Million(Mild R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 29: Price of Five Million(Mild R-18)</h4>


    Jiang Ruoyu''s expression changed when she felt Jia Hao''s tongue slowly parting her lips, wrapping around her tongue. The sudden kiss made her stunned, making her unable to react.


    However, there was something strange in Jia Hao''s eyes. Not only her physical dominance, she could feel that Jia Hao was also casting a mental suppression on her.


    '' He looks so young. Yet he managed to defeat me in a single move. Just...Who is he...''


    '' NO! The thing is...Why is he kissing me out of nowhere?!"


    Their lip parted as Jia Hao let Jiang Ruoyu go. Jiang Ruoyu hurriedly pushed him aside as she looked at her with a fierce gaze. " You-You bastard! This is molestation! I will call the police!"


    " Well, I am your life savior. You can''t do that to your benefactor, right?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " What do you mean? Don''t try to mislead me!"


    " That bastard Azaki, do you know that your maid added drugs because of him?" Jia Hao sneered. " If I hadn''t tripped her, you would have gotten drugged by Azaki. As for the aftermaths...Heh, I don''t think I need to borate."


    " Wh-What?!" Jiang Ruoyu was shocked. " Impossible! She has been working for our dojo for so many years!"


    " Well, Nothing can be said for sure if the person is deep in love." Jia Hao chuckled as he walked to Jiang Ruoyu.


    " You can do all your investigations. In the meantime, I will try the modern gym on the floor above."


    Jiang Ruoyu felt a surge of anger when she saw Jia Hao''s nonchnt attitude. However, all the issues he presented before her were undisputed.


    Jia Hao chuckled when he saw a thread of ck mixed with a little pink enter his body. It was none other than the emotion of hate, mixed with a little confusion.


    Although the quality and quantity weren''t great, the meat of mosquitoes is still meat.


    As Jia Hao walked to the second floor, he saw all sorts of modern gym equipments.


    It was Jia Ruoyu''s own decision. After all, not many people would sho interest in learning martial arts. So, running a gym simultaneously would yield them profit.


    Not to mention, Jiang Ruoyu had the degree of Physical Health and Exercise. So, handling a gym was no problem for her.


    However, since it was recently established, not many knew about it. And at this moment, It was practically empty.


    Jia Hao picked 50kg dumbbells in both arms as he could lift them easily. After trying them, he went for weight lifting and other extreme exercises.


    " Damn, My body only reached the Mercury Marrow Stage, yet it''s already so healthy and powerful." Jia Hao couldn''t help but be shocked.


    " But this sort of strength is nothing in the Yun Continent. To survive there, I need to keep increasing my strength."


    " Also, Who knows if there are some hidden masters in this Tianshu World too?" Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    It was around one hourter, Jiang Ruoyu entered the gym with a dejected face. However, seeing Jia Hao working our so extensively without breaking a sweat, she couldn''t help but have some strange thoughts in her heart.


    " Um...Mr. Jia..."


    " What is it, Miss Jiang?"


    Jia Hao sat with light panting as he wiped his sweat. But then, looking at her dejected expression, Jia Hao''s smile widened.


    " Well, Let me guess. You verified all my ims, right?"


    " That bitch... I never thought she was sleeping with Azaki." Jiang Ruoyu sighed as she rubbed her forehead.


    " With a light force, she spilled everything. I fired her immediately."


    " But the real problems are the loan sharks." Jiang Ruoyu gritted her teeth. " Damn it! How did my dad never notice those unfair uses? The debt really grew to five million."


    " So, Are you going to pay to them?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I am sure they wouldn''t have given you more than a week of time. Are you sure you can raise divine million in one week?"


    " Not to mention, you recently invested in this gym. Do you have that much money?"


    " What do you suggest? Be clear!"


    Jiang Ruoyu couldn''t help but ask in an annoyed voice. Just looking at Jia Hao''s smiling face made her knock off his teeth.


    Jia Hao chuckled as he took out his phone and called Su Yunqi.


    '' Hao''er, What happened? Are you alright?"


    " Yes, I am alright. Dear aunt, Can I borrow some money from you?"


    " Hoho, Borrow? How much money, Hao''er? I can just give that to you."


    " Six million, Aunt. I am thinking of investing in a business. I wonder if aunt can..."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Su Yunqi''s voice was still calm. " Don''t worry, Hao''er. I will give you money right away."


    " Haha, Thank you, Aunt. I will be sure to return it quickly." Jia Hao smiled as he ended the call. Soon enough, his ount received six million yuan.


    " Well, Now let''s see." Jia Hao looked at Jiang Ruoyu. " I have all the money you need right now. So, what do you say, Miss Jiang? Would you like to deal with me?"


    " I...What do I need to do, for that five million?" Jiang Ruoyu bit her lips as she looked at Jia Hao.


    However, seeing the gesture of Jia Hao, Jiang Ruoyu understood immediately as her face became red.


    " Bastard! Rot in hell!"


    She spoke as she turned around and left.


    Jia Haoughed, but he remained seated there. Not long after, Jiang Ruoyu came back as she was still trembling. Her face was red with an unnoticeable steaming from her face.


    " Hmhm, I am in no hurries. I have the entire day."


    " How can I trust you?" Jiang Ruoyu asked with a deep voice.


    " Give me your ount number." Jia Hao chuckled. Jiang Ruoyu sighed as she did as Jia Hao said. Soon enough, she received 2.5 Million Yuan instantly.


    " Now, the remaining money..."


    " I...I will do it." Jiang Ruoyu walked before Jia Hao as he slowly took off her top.


    Her ample bosom was covered with a sexy white bra, making Jia Hao harden instantly. Since he was sitting, the pair of jade rabbits were directly in front of his face, making him push his face between them.


    " Unngh..."


    Jiang Ruoyu''s face waspletely red as her body was shivering as she felt Jia Hao rub his face on her bra. Being in such an exposed and vulnerable state, Jiang Ruoyu felt her lower abdomen twitching.


    Then Jia Hao stood up, kissing her once again. Jiang Ruoyu didn''t resist this time as she could feel one of Jia Hao''s palms squeezing her butt while the other one massaged her breasts.


    " Mm, You got quite a fragrant body, Miss Jiang." Jia Hao''s lips parted as he looked at her with a devilish grin.


    " You better start, Miss Jiang."


    " Nngh...I...I know." Jiang Ruoyu rolled her eyes as she red at Jia Hao. Her hand slowly moved downwards as she pulled down his zip.


    *POINK!*


    Jiang Ruoyu''s eyes widened when he saw Jia Hao''s little brother jump out of his pants.


    " This...This is...Kinda...Um...Big."


    Jiang Ruoyu''s fingers traced the shaft, feeling the pulsing veins etched on the pulsing staff.


    " Hnngh! No-Not there!"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s entire body shivered when Jia Hao leaned on her neck, her tongue yfully licking her earlobe.


    Out of excitement, Jiang Ruoyu started to stroke Jia Hao''s thick appendage while being teased by his tongue. After all, her neck is a sensitive spot, and Jia Hao was doing his best to stimte him.


    " Mmnnn! Miss Jiang, You can stroke bit...Faster."


    " O-Ok..."


    Jiang Ruoyu felt she was in a strange situation. She was definitely hating Jia Hao for pushing into this state. However, she is also feeling some new emotions bubbling in her heart, making her give herself to this strange handsome before her.


    Jia Hao closed his eyes as he enjoyed getting stroked by Jioang Ruoyu, he could feel his seed of desire devouring a lot of pink and dak thread from Jiang Ruoyu.


    '' Interesting to see how she is producing so much hate and lust at the same time. If I use this...''


    Jia Hao silently chanted the Six Desires Mantra as he tried to use the energy had gathered so far and converted into the emotion of joy. After that, he tried to channel it into Jiang Ruoyu''s body.


    Jiang Ruoyu''s body shivered as she stroked Jia Hao''s manhood faster and faster.


    '' Ungh, What is this feeling? Why am I feeling so...Aroused?''


    '' My panties...I think it''s soaked. Sweat! Yes, it must be sweat and nothing else!''


    Jia Hao groaned lightly when as he felt he almost reached the peak. " Mm, Miss Jia, I am about to..."


    " Haah?"


    Jiang Ruoyu''s eyes turned wide when she felt the eager throbbing of the thick meat in her hands. Without any dy, she could see threads of thick white fluid shooting out from the tip of the spear, covering her hands and staining her clothes.


    Both of them panted as Jia Hao suddenly pulled out his phone, taking a selfie.


    " Yo-You! What are you doing?!" Jiang Ruoyu came back to her senses when she saw Jia Hao taking such an indecent pic.


    " Rx, Miss Jiang. I won''t ckmail you with this." Jia Hao grinned. " I am just keeping this as our first memory."


    Zipping his pants, Jia Hao turned around and walked away. " I have already sent the remaining 2.5 Million. You better pay the money to the loan sharks and don''t forget to get the receipt."


    " Also..." Jia Hao spoke in aughing voice.


    " Better clean yourself. The longer you dy, the stickier it will be."

 Chapter 30 Scenery of Su Lan

    Chapter 30 Scenery of Su Lan


    Well, being reborn and killed prematurely eight times, spending years in the Netherworld on a probation period. Jia Hao can vouch that he is no longer a saint.


    Not to mention, seeing various tortures and sins in the Netherworld, his consciousness also got twisted somewhat.


    '' This world is just a game, right?'' Jia Hao walked around the Southern Edge Dojo as heughed in his heart.


    '' Since I know everything about this game, why should I not use all my knowledge to live how I wish?''


    '' I can easily gain wealth, I can easily gain various powers. Women, I will strive and get anyone I like.''


    '' This world, Only I know all the plot. Why should I not take advantage of it?''


    In fact, Jiang Ruoyu was supposed to be the heroine of Chen Ye. But looking at the situation back then, it was clear that Chen Ye couldn''t have saved her anyway.


    Therefore, after saving Jiang Ruoyu, why would Jia Hao give her back to Chen Ye?


    Therefore, he simply took Jiang Ruoyu for himself. '' Not to mention, if I follow the game rules, the Southern Edge Dojo still has many functions.''


    '' For example, If I practice here for seven days straight, I will gain a total of 30 Strength Points.''


    Gaining the 30 points of Strength is how a yer can beat Azaki using Chen Ye''s character. However, Jia Hao doesn''t know how much 30 Strength points would affect his body. There aren''t any measurements for the points as he doesn''t have any stat window.


    '' But, I think the Strength point can improve my body. So, Why should I not take it?'' Jia Hao paused in the office of Jiang Ruoyu as he opened a shelf.


    Inside it, Jia Hao had many documents, along with three manuals.


    " Ah, yes. They are at the same ce I remember." Jia Hao grinned as he took the three manuals.


    Those three are Eight Trigram Palms, Three Styles Sword Art, and the Marching Army Fist Technique.


    He didn''t care much about the future problems of Jiang Ruoyu. Because, after clearing these two problems, the Southern Edge Dojo will once again enter a time of prosperity.


    If the story goes ording to the plot after defeating Azaki, the fame of the Southern Edge Dojo will rise, making a lot of people join it.


    After that, her gym will also attract a lot of people, making her financial problems vanish. And, since Jiang Ruoyu doesn''t know about these, Jia Hao can take credit for all these things. And then, Jiang Ruoyu will finally fall for Jia Hao.


    '' Hehe, I wonder how it would feel like, pushing Jiang Ruoyu on the bed and making her moan my name.'' Jia Hao gave an evil grin. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Looking at the three techniques, Jia Hao didn''t bother as he picked all of them.


    '' Although it''spletely useless for me, I should keep it with me.'' Jia Hao nodded as he threw all of them into the Pot of Miracles.


    After all, even after excluding all of its power, just its subspace ability makes it heavenly.


    After wandering around, Jia Hao finally went to a watch store to purchase a watch. After all, he needs to grasp the time flow of the Tianshu World and Yun Continent.


    " Hmm, In the ancient world, I should first use things that can be used to curry favors with other people. Some ornaments and¡­Wine! Yes, Wine can be used!"


    Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he looked at his bank bnce. After all, there is still one million yuan lying in his ount. First, he brought three bottles of high quality Maotai Liquore and then brought some red wine and a bottle of whiskey. He brought all sorts of branded items, so the cost naturally went to 200,000 Yuan.


    '' The gold of the Yun continent is very strange than the Tianshu World. Unlike natural gold, the gold of the Yun continent has a violent sheen and its malleability is also different than ordinary gold.''


    '' Heh, It wasn''t the case, I would easily create a gold trade between the two worlds.'' Jia Hao sighed. However, looking at the time, Jia Hao felt it was already noon.


    Thinking of having some rest, Jia Hao directly returned to the mansion. Su Yunqi already went to herpany while Su Xing''er and Su Lan weren''t there either. So, Jia Hao thought he was alone in the house.


    Going back to his room, he took off his clothes instantly.


    " Haah! After a long day of work, nothing beats a cool bath."


    However, as he stood before the door of his bathroom, the door opened automatically.


    " Huh??"


    " Eh?"


    Jia Hao was stunned when he saw Su Lan before her. Although she was holding a white towel, it was draped on her back, making her entire front exposed before Jia Hao''s eyes.


    The water droplets were still glistening like crystals on her milky white skin. Her ample breasts were truly like a pair of lovable rabbits, with pink peaks twitching lightly.


    Not to mention, her perfect thighs, with her sacred garden surrounded by neatly trimmed bush.


    Her wet hair draped over her shoulders, and Su Lan looked much different than when she wore spectacles.


    " Ahh¡­.AHHHHHH!!!!"


    Su Lan''s face instantly turned crimson as she took a step back, closing the bathroom door.


    Jia Hao finally came to his senses when he heard Su Lan''s scream. " Bi-Big Sister Lan! Wh-What are you doing here?" Jia Hao was speechless as he also held a towel to cover his lower abdomen.


    After some time, Su Lan walked out again wearing a bathing robe.


    " I¡­I am sorry, Hao''er." Su Lan bowed. However, it only made Jia Hao even more as her cleavage waspletely under his eyes.


    " I¡­ The water heater in my bathroom was malfunctioning. So, I thought I would use your bathroom. I¡­ I thought you won''t being soon."


    " I¡­ I AM SORRY!"


    Saying that Su Lan rushed out hurriedly, covering her crimson face with her palm.


    " Water heater malfunctioned?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but give a thumbs up.


    " Damn, even the water heater is a wingman here. No wonder this is an eroge¡­Thank you, Brother water heater. I hope you malfunction frequently."


    Jia Hao sighed as he walked into the bathroom. Standing under the shower, he felt like he could smell the feminine fragrance of Su Lan''s body.


    Imagining she was showering here, Jia Hao felt his body was getting all fired up.


    '' Alright, Little brother. You need to calm down.'' Jia Hao felt mumbled lightly.


    '' You already got a lot of service from Jiang Ruoyu. Enough for today.''


    After taking the shower, Jia Hao changed his clothes to something casual as he walked to Su Lan''s room.


    However, just standing outside the doorstep, Jia Hao felt a load of pink energy shooting towards him, getting absorbed by his seed of desire.


    '' Damn, Sister Su Lan is really flushed this time, huh?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but grin widely. After all, no matter how intelligent Su Lan is, she is a very shy and conservative girl. She took most of Su Yunqi''s characteristics beauty, and chest, of course.


    However, thinking about the looming danger of Li Tao, Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort. He truly wishes to go and kill him at this moment. '' But I simply can''t do that. Directly affecting the plot, it would be a disaster if he managed to escape. If the plot deviates, it would create a headache.''


    " Sister Lan? Sister Lan, are you still inside?"


    " Errm¡­ Hao''er¡­ I am a bit busy¡­"


    " Sister Lan, I want to meet you right now." Jia Hao spoke hurriedly.


    Soon, Su Lan opened the door with a flushed expression. " Mm, You cane in."


    Su Lan''s room was naturally big. However, she kept it neat and clean, with every single thing organized properly. Entering the room, Jia Hao could smell a light fragrance of flowers, perhaps the body fragrance of Su Lan?


    " Umm¡­Sister Lan, Are you¡­still angry with me?" Sitting on a chair, Jia Hao looked at Su Lan as he asked in an innocent voice. '' Damn, Someone give me oscar for acting already.''


    He cackled in his heart while putting an innocent expression on his face.


    " No! Jia Hao, How is it your fault?" Su Lan hurriedly spoke.


    " Rather than that, It''s my fault. After all, I didn''t check or inform you beforehand. If I had done that, we wouldn''t have to face such an¡­ embarrassing situation."


    " Hehe, But¡­" Jia Hao looked to the side as he grinned. " The scenery was pretty great though¡­"


    " What scenery¡­"


    Su Lan asked in confusion but she paused inwardly, understanding Jia Hao''s double meaning joke. Her face turned into an apple once again as she pushed Jia Hao.


    " Jia Hao! Yo-You are so¡­Aahhh!"


    " Hehe, Sister Lan, Don''t be angry." Jia Hao coughed as he consoled the pouting Su Lan.


    " Anyway, How did your piano rehearsal go?"


    " Well, It went very well. Hehe, You muste to thepetition, ok?" Su Lan smiled when she thought about the show.


    Jia Hao nodded. " Of course, I would be there to cheer you, Sister Lan."


    " But you¡­ Hao''er, you didn''t go to school over a week, right?" Su Lan suddenly thought about something as she turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Eh? I suppose so¡­" Jia Hao took a step back when he looked at Su Lan.


    Su Lan''s smile turned bright as she stood up.


    " It won''t be good if your grades fall in the next text, right?"


    " Now sit with me. I am going to tutor you."


    " Wait! Nooo!!"

 Chapter 31 Su Lans Thought About Little Brother Jia

    31 Su Lan''s Thought About Little Brother Jia


    " Haah! Sister Lan, I can''t do anymore." Jia Hao slumped on the table as Su Lan was reviewing the answers.


    " Not bad. Although you are clumsy, you have a solid foundation." Su Lan adjusted her sses as she spoke in a light voice.


    " But, That doesn''t mean you can ck off, Hao''er. You need to study hard even if you are naturally gifted."


    " Hmm, I guess it''s enough for today." " Thank you! Thank you so much, Sister Lan!"


    Jia Hao got up and bowed before Su Lan.


    '' Haahh! Fuck this! Even after eight lifetimes, I still can''t escape the clutches of calculus and equations.'' Jia Hao rubbed his forehead as he looked at Su Lan.


    No wonder she got the title of Beautiful Study Tyrant in her character card. He knows that everything Su Lan was doing was for his own good. And thinking about that, Jia Hao''s heart became warm.


    After all, All of the Su Familydies were doing their best to make Jia Hao feelpletely part of this family.


    Thinking about that, Jia Hao couldn''t help but be even more determined to protect all three of them.


    Looking at Su Lan, he used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [Name: Su Lan]


    ]Age: 22]


    Talents: Schr Princess of The school, Piano and Violin, Singing]


    [Recent Future: Three dayster, something unexpected happens during the show, creating trauma for her]


    Jia Hao''s expression changed when he saw thest sentence. Closing his eyes, his mind started to work frantically.


    '' Damn it! What the hell is this?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but curse in his heart.


    However, using his memories, he finally found out the subplot of Su Lan''spetition. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    '' Ahh! I remember. Yeah, the thing that happened was definitely shitty. It made Su Lan''s never touch the piano again.'' Jia Hao''s eyes shone with a strange light as he clenched his fist.


    " Sister Lan, I think you prepared to y the song Raining Clouds and Boat, right?"


    " Hah? You know about that?" Su Lan was pleasantly surprised. " Indeed, I nned to y that on piano. You know, I have been practicing it for a while."


    " Hmm, Sister Lan, I also have a song that you might like." Jia Hao smiled as he closed his eyes, using his memory to remember something.


    After that, he took a paper and started to write down something furiously. Su Lan was curious at first as she leaned on, trying to see what Jia Hao was writing " What? Music notes?" Su Lan''s expression changed when she saw Jia Hao was actually writing down the music notes.


    After a while, Jia Hao finished writing as he passed it to Su Lan. " Sister Lan, consider this as a gift."


    " This¡­What is this?" Su Lan studied the music sheet thoroughly. The more she read, the more shocked she became.


    " Hao''er, Where did you find this? You know about music?" Su Lan asked hurriedly.


    " Well, Sister Lan, It''s a little secret of mine." Jia Hao grinned. " This music is called Loving You All the Way. It''s a perfect piano music to make the atmosphere joyous and romantic."


    " Loving You All the Way?" Su Lan repeated the name as she looked at the music sheet.


    " Don''t worry, I will definitely try it. This isn''t asplex as it looks. But it certainly carries an aura of novelty."


    After getting Sage''s Divine Eyes and his brain energized by the Crimson Vigor Pill, Jia Hao can remember even the smallest details of his past eight incarnations.


    Although Kim Hyusung was a pop star, he also had multiple talents. After all, in the cutthroat field of entertainment, you need a lot of talents other than looks and singing.


    Not to mention, many of his friends were also piano and violin artists. Kim Hyusung was also someone who studied instruments when he was young.


    Therefore, Jia Hao took out one of the most popr music themes of the show and passed it to Su Lan. If she used that, thepetition wouldn''t be a problem at all.


    " En¡­Thanks for this gift, Hao''er. You are considerate as always." Su Lan got up and hugged Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao struggled when his face pressed against Su Lan''s ample bosoms.


    " Mmnn¡­Sister Lan, You are going to choke me at this rate." Jia Hao giggled.


    Su Lan came back to her senses as she let Jia Hao go. However, seeing the huge tent in his pants, her face became red once again.


    Pushing him out of the room, Su Lan spoke.


    " Now, Go and let me practice in peace."


    Jia Hao was stunned when Su Lan mmed the door on his face. Su Lan leaned against the door as she sighed, her heart thumping like a newborn fawn.


    Remembering the scene of Jia Hao standing naked before her and his little brother hardening instantly, she felt her body was also bing warm.


    '' No matter what¡­He really has a big co¡­coc¡­Ughh! What am I even thinking!"


    '' Su Lan! He is your¡­Little brother!"


    '' Although not biological¡­But Hey! That''s not the issue!''


    " Pahh! Pahh! What am I even thinking?" Su Lan shook her head as she focused back on Jia Hao''s music sheet. Calming her mind, Su Lan started to study it.


    Soon the day passed as Su Xing''er came back from school. After that, both of them engaged in the usual bickering. As it was already night and Jia Hao finished the dinner with Su Family, he went to his room and locked it properly.


    '' It''s 10 PM and I have the time till 8 AM in the morning. So, I can spend now 50 hours in Yun Continent.'' Jia Hao threw his watch as he slept on his bed.


    " As for distribution¡­ Let it be randomly. Let me see how good my luck is."


    Jia Hao could see the ancient pot shin'' in his mind as he felt he was traversing through the space. Opening his eyes, he saw he reappeared back in his bedroom of the Cai Family.


    Waking up, he hurriedly checked the contents he brought to the Yun Continent.


    [Mr. Daniel''s Whiskey: A richer and bolder vor than the original. Will definitely be liked by drinkers]


    [ Lafite Red Wine: Fermented more than 60 Years, this wine could be considered an antique]


    '' Hmm, the red wine I brought was only fermented for ten years. I guess it got enchanted by Chaos Energy.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    [ Bajiu Spirit Maotai: Water of ancient spring and rice of golden grass fields, this is a wine made by the original riverside wine-making family. Even the smallest sip can make someone intoxicated instantly]


    '' Aha! This wine looks like turned into a spiritual treasure. My chaos energy was well spent.''


    Among the three types of wine brought by Jia Hao, the Maotai was the one with the best transformation, as it turned into a spiritual liquor from an ordinary one. The second one is the red wine as it aged 50 years extra. The one with the least enchantment was the Whiskey, but it was still better than the original.


    After that, Jia Hao thought about something and took out the three manuals he got from the Southern Edge Dojo. Suddenly, he felt the weight of the manuals increased a bit.


    [ Eight Trigram Palms: Created ording to thew of eight trigram, all the sections can be used individually or at the same time]


    '' Well, No changes in Eight Trigram Palm.'' Jia Hao nodded as he looked at the remaining two.


    [ Wind Parting Sword Art: The sword technique is created by a righteous expert after understanding the nature of wind. This sword technique is elegant, light, and swift]


    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the Three Styles Sword Art turned into Wind Parting Sword Art. However, when he opened the scroll, he felt the contents also changed greatly.


    '' I wonder what would happen if I study these techniques? It would be much more powerful than the original Three Styles Sword Art.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly The final manual waspletely transformed into a golden scroll. Jia Hao picked it up and used his Sage''s Divine Eyes on it.


    [ Hundred Army Battle Formation: A technique created by an ancient powerful general to improve the condition of his soldiers. This scroll consists of body techniques, basic weapon techniques, basic army formations, and military tactics]


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s eyes widened when he saw the contents of the Hundred Army Battle Formation Scroll.


    " Thi-This is a fucking jackpot!" Jia Hao clenched his fist as he tried to suppress his excitement.


    '' With this, I can make Cai Family indebted to me even more.''


    Jia Hao put everything inside his Pot of Miracles as he got up, wearing ancient clothing and walking outside of the room.


    " Huh? Young Master Jia, You were inside the room?" Minmin turned around and looked at Jia Hao with surprise.


    " Well, think it like that." Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile. " Anyway, Where did your Miss go?"


    " Young Master Jia, She went for a financial audit. However, some problem arose there, dying her return." Minmin spoke.


    " Financial audit?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " Very well, take me there."

 Chapter 32 Corruption In Cai Family

    32 Corruption In Cai Family


    " So, You are saying the budget increased by fifty thousand taels?" Cai Yixue''s brows creased as she looked at the people before her.


    " Yes. First Lady. I already made the list and you can check if there are any problems."


    " Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhu, It''s not that I doubt your ounting. However, You already know that we just gave two months sry to our army and guards, right?"


    " Fifty thousand taels of gold are like the yearly earnings of our food businesses." Cai Yixue spoke in a light tone.


    " Increasing the budget so casually, are you sure our Cai Family can afford it?"


    " Firstdy, shouldn''t we use this chance toy off some of our guards?" Zhu Wuya, the ountant, spoke eagerly. " After all, We can¡­"


    " No, Our family shall not make any reduction in the military." Cai Yixue cut his sentence in the middle.


    " I believe there are some other ways. Besides, I feel the spending of the family somehow increased a lot in thest two years. I need to check the ount books."


    " First Lady, Are you sure?" Financier Feng Zituo looked at Cai Yixue as he spoke. " There is a shelf worth of ount books. It might strain you both physically and mentally if you check all of them. Not to mention¡­Being inexperienced, you might make some mistakes."


    " Thank you for your concern, Uncle Feng." Cai Yixue spoke in an expressionless voice.


    " However, I would still like to check all the documents. Therefore, please open the ounting room. I want to check all of them."


    " As you say, Lady Yixue."


    Feng Zituo spoke as he led Cai Yixue to the ounting room.


    " Hmm, What''s happening here?"


    Cai Yixue turned around and saw it was none other than Jia Hao. Wearing a light white robe, Jia Hao gave off a schrly aura. However, his handsome face and perfect body proportion didn''t look less than a martial artist.


    " You are back?" Cai Yixue spoke in a mildly surprised tone.


    " I heard you were checking the ounts books of the n?" Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice.


    " Indeed, I am checking the ount books. I need to ensure that everything is seamless and without any faults."


    Jia Hao looked at her and turned around, looking at Feng Zituo and Zhu Wuya. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    [Name: Feng Zituo]


    [ Age: 55]


    [ Remark: A renowned ountant in Yan Kingdom. Currently working in the Cai Family as a finance helper. Upright and honest.


    [ Recent Future Points: Five dayster, he used his savings and went to the Jade Lake Pavilion to spend a night]


    '' Eh? Old ginger is still spicy, huh?''


    Jia Hao could already guess what sort of ce Jade Lake Pavilion is.


    Then he looked at Zhu Wuya as he used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [Name: Zhu Wuya]


    [Age: 55]


    [Remark: Studied arithmetic and ountancy at Yan Royal Academy. Shrewd and greedy with long life expectancy]


    [Recent Future Points: Two dayster he will take out 50,000 taels of gold from his secret vault to purchase a bottle of Body Strengthening Pill for his son]


    '' Um, wait! What?'' Jia Hao felt his eyes turning wide when he saw the information about Zhu Wuya.


    Cai Yixue waved her hands. " Minmin, take the elders out. I and young lord need so privacy."


    " Yes, Mydy."


    Everyone walked out of the room, giving Jia Hao and Cia Yixue some privacy.


    " You are afraid someone is embroiled in corruption and stealing money?" Jia Hao asked. After all, he had even seen corruption in the Netherworld, let alone in a mortal ne.


    " En, I feel so. However, I casually checked some documents and I didn''t find any faults." Cai Yixue sighed as she looked at the shelves full of ounting books.


    " Not to mention, if someone among them tries to hide the corruption, do you think it''s easy to find?"


    " Indeed."


    Jia Hao sighed as he also looked at the stacks of ounting books.


    In ancient times, education wasn''t prominent. Everything was documented in written copies. Therefore, if a schr wanted to deceive the masses, they could easily do so.


    Not to mention, just finding mistakes in this sea of ount books would take at least a month. And Jia Hao doubted if Cai Yixue had that much free time.


    " I know you are a master schr. After all, solving those mathematical questions in the marriage examination wasn''t easy." Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao as she spoke.


    " Would you help me?"


    " Well¡­"


    Jia Hao rubbed under his nose. " Even if I use all my brain, checking them in a short amount of time is not possible."


    " Hmm¡­" Cai Yixue sighed in frustration,


    " However, I would like to ask you something." Jia Hao asked. " How much sry do they get?"


    " Them? Feng Zituo and Zhu Wuya both get 200 taels of gold every year."


    Jia Hao almost spat when he heard that. However, thinking about the majority of the normal public who uses silver in day to day life, twohundred taels of gold per year is a very good sry for an ountant in an aristocratic family.


    " So¡­Do you think it''s easy for them to casually whip out fifty thousand taels of gold to buy a Body Strengthening Pill?"


    Cai Yixue''s eyes narrowed when she heard that. " I won''t say it''s not impossible. But it''s like spending their lifetime worth of savings on the medicinal pill."


    " Not to mention, without enough connections, you can''t get your hand on such a medicine."


    " Interesting." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Does the ount book are all double checked by both Feng Zituo and Zhu Wuya?"


    " No, Both of them oversee different departments." Cai Yixue exined.


    " Feng Zituo was invited by my elder uncle. He is honest and looks after the internal budget of the Cai Family, along with the expenditure of the army."


    " Zhu Wuya, on the other hand, is in charge of external expenditure. All the purchasing materials for Fragrant Medicine Store, Two Food Shops, Army materials, and others were handled by him."


    " Haha¡­ I guess you guys really gave the key of treasury to the thief."


    Jia Hao smiled wryly.


    " What do you mean?" Cai Yixue wasn''t dumb as she could catch clues from Jia Hao''s words. " You mean¡­ Zhu Wuya is the one behind corruption?"


    " I just want to ask another thing." Jia Hao didn''t answer instantly. " Do they keep their ount book separate?"


    " Yes." Cai Yixue nodded.


    " Then, Let''s start checking the ount books signed by Zhu Wuya."


    Cai Yixue was stunned. However, looking at Jia Hao''s confident demeanor, she felt a glimpse of hope in her heart.


    Walking to the shelf, she sat down, sorting out the ount books signed by Zhu Wuya.


    11:30


    Jia Hao also sat beside her as he helped her. For a few moments, the room was only filled with the sound of wind and the flipping of papers.


    " Do you want to talk about some-"


    " You have something to say-"


    Both of them spoke simultaneously, looking at each other with surprise.


    " You go¡­"


    " No, you say first."


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but chortle when he heard that. Cai Yixue took a deep breath as she focused herself on the ount books.


    " I mean¡­We have been married. And¡­You didn''t say anything about it after the marriage."


    " What should I say?"


    Jia Hao gave a faint smile. " Hmm, does Miss like a romantic person?"


    " No-Not that." Cai Yixue stammered. " I¡­ You didn''t ask me anything about my duties as a wife."


    " Nor did you ask me for my duties as a husband."


    Jia Hao spoke. " Miss Cai, we both know that this marriage was just born out of necessity. Therefore, we aren''t obliged to each other, right?"


    " Is that so?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " Would you have said the same thing if you had married Lingzhi?"


    Jia Hao became rmed when he heard that.


    '' Did she notice?'' He thought inwardly.


    " I wonder." Jia Hao didn''t lie either.


    " Miss Yixue''s personality is a bit colder. Especially towards love interests."


    " It''s because of my personal reasons. It''s nothing to do with you." Cai Yixue spoke.


    " Well then, Does Miss give me permission to pursue her love?" Jia Hao''s smile brightened.


    " I¡­ You are already my husband so¡­"


    Cai Yixue turned around and threw an ount book to the side, picking up a new one."


    " Very well, Wife."


    Cai Yixue''s body shivered when she heard Jia Hao calling her ''Wife''.


    " Hummm¡­ You better check those ount books properly." Cai Yixue spoke in a humming voice.


    " No need. Takes these books. I have marked the area with problems." Jia Hao chuckled as he passed a few ount books to Cai Yixue.


    [ ount book of Ninth month, Year XX. Written by Zhu Wuya, Calction error by 1000 Taels]


    [ ount book of Seventh mon, Year XX. Written by Zhu Wuya. Calction error by 4000 Taels]


    Of course, Zhu Wuya was very shrewd. He didn''t take money every month. However, the month he took money, it would be arge sum.


    Not to mention, he spread the extra amount of money in such a way that it''s very hard for someone to notice if they aren''t looking at it specifically.


    However, Sage''s Divine Eyes simply pointed out the ount books with mistakes, saving 90% of Jia Hao''s time. After that, he checked the erroneous ount books thoroughly, finding the mistakes instantly.


    " Yo-You¡­How did you find them so fast?"


    Cai Yixue was stunned as she also looked at the ce Jia Hao pointed at.


    " What the¡­There are over tens of ount books with errors." Cai Yixue''s expression turned dark. Jia Hao took out a pencil from his Pot of Miracles and started to calcte.


    " With this amount¡­. Huh?" Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide when he saw that.


    " No way¡­ Are you calcting right?" Cai Yixue leaned forward as she looked at Jia Hao''s calctions.


    " Haha, I know it''s hard to believe. But¡­ It''s true." Jia Hao nodded.


    " He stole over 200,000 taels of gold."

 Chapter 33 Thank You, Husband

    33 Thank You, Husband


    " 200,000 taels¡­"


    Cai Yixue gritted her teeth when she heard that. " Damn it, That''s a yearly expenditure of our Cai Family. Yet, He managed to slice off that much from us?"


    " Here, you can see the errors in the military supply." Jia Hao spoke. " 20,000 taels of gold was sent to the smithy to smelt old equipments and get new equipments for the fourth squad."


    " However, two monthster, 20,000 taels of gold were still sent to the smithy for the same reason. It''s not possible for so much useless junk to pile up within two months, right?"


    " And this? He directly took 10,000 taels from the purchase of silk and other clothes."


    " Haah, This bastard." Cai Yixue red up for a moment. But then, she rubbed her forehead.


    " What happened?" Jia Hao asked. " Shouldn''t you rush straight and behead him right away?"


    " Of course, I will." Cai Yixue''s eyes shed with a cold glint. " However, I need to wait patiently for the right moment. I need to use Zhu Wuya as an example. So, no one would ever dare to steal our money."


    " Oh, You can have that chance." Jia Hao grinned. " Two dayster, He will purchase the Body Strengthening Pill for his son. At that moment, you can catch him."


    " Not to mention, we have all the evidence here. With these solid proofs, no one can save Zhu Wuya."


    " En¡­But how did you know he is going to purchase a Body Strengthening pill for his son?" Cai Yixue asked in a curious voice.


    " After all, You didn''t seem to ever see them before today."


    " Err¡­" Jia Hao scratched his head. " Just think I have a little informationwork outside."


    " Is that so?" Cai Yixue was still suspicious. However, she didn''t press Jia Hao at all.


    " Well, Since I have helped you, shouldn''t I receive some rewards?" Jia Hao smirked as he looked at Cai Yixue.


    " Wh-What sort of reward?" Cai Yixue became a bit rmed when she saw that lecherous expression on Jia Hao''s face.


    " Nothing much. I am not that of a bad person." Jia Hao grinned. " Let''s start from something small."


    " Wife, How about you call me husband?"


    Cai Yixue was stunned when she heard Jia Hao''s words. Her cheeks flushed with a pink color as she tried to avert her gaze.


    " Um¡­That''s a bit¡­" Cai Yixue bit her lips as she got up.


    " Th-Thank you, Husband."


    Cai Yixue''s voice was like a mosquito as she spoke. However, the moment she said that she picked up all the faulty ount books and rushed out of the room.


    Jia Hao was stunned when she saw Cai Yixue''s reaction. '' I guess no matter how cold Yixue acts, she retains a certain bashfulness.'' Jia Hao smacked his lips as he thought inwardly.


    Even with the presence of supernatural and martial arts, the world of Yun Continent is still an ancient world. And the customs of the ancient world are still very backward.


    '' But the charm and virtuousness of the women of the ancient world is definitely has its own taste. It feels really different from the women of Tianshu World.''


    '' Damn, am I turning sexist?'' Jia Haoughed loudly as he got up.


    " But who cares? Equal rights, equal fights."


    Jia Hao walked out of the room and then looked at the Cai Family Mansion. " Mm, I am curious about the outside. Let me check the Nanhai City."


    But then, Jia Hao smiled wryly when he realized he didn''t know how to ride a horse.


    But as he walked a few steps outside of the road, he saw a carriage was going towards the city.


    " Uncle, Are you going to the Nanhaio City?"


    The middle aged man saw Jia Hao wearing a noble cloth. He hurriedly nodded. " Yes, Young Master, I am going there to sell vegetables."


    " Great, can you take me there?"


    " This¡­ Sure, Young master." The middle aged man was about to refuse first. But thinking about Jia Hao''s background, he agreed.


    '' Damn it! I hope I don''t offend this young man somehow. Else, who knows if he kills me and my family?'' The middle aged man moved the carriage as they traveled toward the city.


    Looking at the bustling city market, the wide road paved with square stones, Jia Hao couldn''t help but nod in approval. The technology in ancient times can beparable to modern constructions too.


    As they passed the city gates, Jia Hao got off from te carriage. " Well, Uncle¡­"


    " Ahaha! No, No charges." The middle aged man refused. " You don''t need to pay me money."


    '' Damn, Do people fear nobles this much?'' Jia Hao smiled wryly as he waved his hands.


    " Well, Since you are refusing money, then you should take this." He handed the driver a packet of chocte.


    It wasn''t the Energy Recovery Bar, but the other extra delicious chocte lying in his pot.


    " This...What''s this?" The driver looked at the chocte packet wrapped in a shiny wrapper in fascination.


    " Well, This is a type of sweet." Jia Hao exined. " If you go to home, peel the outeryer and eat the brown sweet inside. Don''t forget to give it to your wife and children¡­If you have any."


    With augh, Jia Hao turned around, walking away. The driver remained stunned as he hurriedly hid the chocte packet.


    '' This looks precious, even if it''s a sweet. I should check it after I go to home.''


    Jia Hao walked around the city with fascination as he could see the shops selling various things. However, with his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he could see the martial artists among themon people.


    '' The most powerful I have seen so far is the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. So by this mean, my strength is enough for walking among normal citizens.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he walked fromshop to shop.


    As he was ncing around, Jia Hao paused as his gaze fell on a person.


    [Name: Lu Hao]


    [Age: 32]


    [Remard: Slightly rich. Business minded]


    [Recent Future Points: Half an hourter, he purchased a Grey Jade pot from Bamboo Treasure Shop and found a high grade demonic core inside it]


    " Holy cow!" Jia Hao became excited as he walked towards Lu Hao.


    " Excuse me, Brother." Jia Hao called out, making Lu Hao turn around and look at him.


    " Do you know where Bamboo Treasure Shop is?"


    " Go straight from here and take left from first intersection. You will find it after three blocks." Lu Hao nodded as he answered.


    " Thank you, Brother."


    Lu Hai suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if Jia Hao was upto no good. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    '' Strange. I should also go to the Bamboo Treasure Shop.''


    Jia Hao''s body moved fast as he arrived at a rundown shop called Bamboo Treasure Shop. Rather than a shop, it looked more like a stall.


    " Wee, Esteemed YoungMaster." A crooked shopkeeper walked out as he fawned over Jia Hao. " Would you mind to look at some of my treasures? I can guarantee that you will definitely get interested."


    Jia Hao didn''t say anything as he looked around the items Soon, he saw a small grey pot, covered in dust.


    [ Grey Jade Pot: Made with grey jade and bones ashes of ck deer. Contains aHigh grade demonic beast core inside it]


    " This pot¡­" Jia Hao just said, but the shopkeeper held the pot and wiped hurriedly.


    " This is a precious zed Silver Porcin Pot. Crafted with delicate craftsmanship, I found it in an ancient rune. It might also possess some strange power."


    " It''s price is 10,000 taels of Silver." The shopkeeper gave his price.


    " What? 10,000 taels of silver? You mean hundred taels of gold for this pot?" Jia Hao''s eyes shrank.


    " Exactly, Young Master."


    " This is too much."


    " Well¡­" The shopkeeper coughed a bit as he adjusted his tone hastily. " Since I am in a good mood, I can sell it to Young Master for only 8500 tales of silver."


    Jia Hao shrugged when he heard that. " Well, The thing is, I don''t have a single piece of silver."


    " What?"


    The shopkeeper''s face fell when he heard that. " Then why are you wasting my time here? Damn it, I thought you are some rich Young Master."


    " Whao, Uncle. Aren''t you changing your attitude way too fast?" Jia Hao gave a hollowugh. " How about I give you an item? I wonder how much you can give for this?"


    Jia Hao waved turned around and fiddled in his robe. After that, he pulled out a shiny short sword, presenting before the shopkeeper.


    " A short sword made of cold iron. It''s been tempered over a thousand times."


    " What? Let me see that." The shopkeeper was stunned as he took that sword and looked at it.


    " Ouch! It''s sharp!" The shopkeeper''s finger got cut, but his eyes shone with a light.


    " Indeed, This is an authentic sword. Ok, I can give¡­"


    " A thousand tael¡­of gold."


    " A thousand silver¡­Wait, What?" The shopkeeper was stunned. " A thousand taels of gold? Are you serious?"


    " I am."


    " At most, I can give 200¡­"


    " A thousand taels."


    " 500!"


    " 1000!"


    " Eight hundred taels and not a bit more." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.


    " Well, Eight hundred is alright. But I will take this pot with me."


    " Deal!"


    The shopkeeper took the sword and handed golden banknotes with the grey pot.


    '' Hehe, That pot is simply worthless. I made quite a profit this time.'' The shopkeeper grinned as he wiped the sword and ced on disy shelf.


    Jia Hao was grinning even more as he took the pot and walked a bit far before breaking it.


    Suddenly, with a dim light, a thumb size bright red crystal appeared before him.


    Picking it up, Jia Hao threw it into his Pot of Miracles, allowing the pot to devour it.

 Chapter 34 Crown Prince And Assassination

    34 Crown Prince And Assassination


    '' I need to quickly feed this little beast and restore it to the thirdyer. Otherwise, I can never use the treasures enchanted by the Pot of Miracles.'' Jia Hao gave a wry smile as he walked around.


    Holding eight hundred taels of gold, Jia Hao couldn''t help but feel a little rich. As he walked, he saw a tall building before him.


    " Hongxin Tower? This looks like a restaurant." Jia Hao walked inside and saw the inside was bustling with the crowd.


    " Wee, Young Master, how can I help you?"


    A female waiter appeared before Jia Hao instantly as she spoke with a smiling face.


    " Well, I thought I would taste the famous delicacies of Hongxin Tower." Jia Hao smiled. " But, I think it''s a bit crowded here."


    " If Young Noble is willing, I can take you to the VIP Floor." The girl replied instantly. " It''s just the money¡­"


    " How much?"


    " 5000 taels of silver, Young noble."


    " Here, take this."


    Jia Hai didn''t mind as he gave fifty taels of gold to the waitress.


    Seeing the glittering gold, the waitress''s eyes shone as she nodded. " Pleasee upstairs, Young noble."


    On the fifth floor, it was truly calm. Jia Hao was amazed when he saw the exquisite and detailed craftsmanship of wood and stones on the VIP floor. Not to mention, the noises from downstairs werepletely gone, and he could only hear the clinking of utensils and murmuring of fewer people.


    Jia Hao picked his seat and the waiter served some steamed bun and fragrant tea immediately.


    " This is free of charge, Young noble." The waiter smiled. The benefit of VIP Floor."


    " Also, What would you like to eat?"


    " The three best dishes of your restaurant and a jar of wine." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.


    " Very well, Sir." As Jia Hao kept making mental notes about the restaurant, he saw a group of people entering the VIP section.


    A beautiful waitress guided them to a reserved seat. However, other than a young man, the three bodyguards remained standing beside him.


    Jia Hao used his Sage''s Divine Eyes as he looked at the young man.


    [Name: Li Qing]


    [ Age: 26]


    [Remarks: Crown prince of Yan Kingdom, Seventh stage of Profound Awakening Stage, Possessor of Blue Internal Qi]


    [Recent Future Point: Twenty breathster, He will die due to the poison in wine]


    '' Oh???'' Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide when he heard that. Crown prince of Yan Kingdom? What is he doing here?''


    '' Well, Who cares?'' Jia Hao shrugged as he waited for his dishes. However, when he gazed at one of his bodyguards, Jia Hao almost spat out his tea.


    [Name: Zhou Yan]


    [ Age: 61]


    [ Remarks: The Imperial Bodyguard of Crown Prince, Third stage of Innate Realm]


    [ Recent Future Points: After a few moments, he arrests everyone in the room on suspicion of assassinating the Crown Prince. Few of them tried to resist, dying by his hands in the process]


    Jia Hao almost had an internal meltdown when he heard that. Without dying a second, he walked toward Li Qing.


    " Fellow brother, may I sit with you?" Jia Hao smiled as he stood beside Li Qing.


    Although Li Qing was 26 years old, he looked like 21 year old young man. With sharp eyebrows and cid eyes, he naturally gave off an aura of elegance and nobility.


    Zhou Yan and other guards became slightly rmed. But Li Qing waved his hand. " Well, Why does brother wish to sit with me?"


    " Well, One should drink wine alone only if he is sad. And, I am not feeling sat currently." Jia Haoughed lightly.


    " Shall I?"


    " Go ahead."


    Jia Hao''s eyes fell on the jar of wine ced on the table before Li Qing.


    [ Poisonous Yellow Wave Wine: A yellowish rice wine. This jar is mixed with Heart Cleaving Dark Poison]


    Jia Hao''s eyebrows twitched when he saw that. After seeing the future events of Zhou Yan, Jia Hao felt a wave of cold air on his neck.


    The death of a crown prince is a very huge scandal and it can take the entire kingdom in a bloody storm.


    No one knows how many heads would roll due to this. And in this age, no one will bother to check if the dead ones are innocent or not.


    '' Who knows if I would be among the people who died in this room? With my strength, escaping from an Innate realm master is impossible.''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao staggered as he pushed the wine jar to the side. With a bang, the wine jar shattered as it spilled on the ground.


    " Oh, How clumsy I am!"


    Jia Hao cupped his fist as he looked at Li Qing. " Fellow Brother, I seek your forgiveness. How about I treat you to another jar of wine?"


    The bodyguards were rmed as they looked at Jia Hao with suspicion. However, Li Qing was calmer as he smiled. " No worries, Brother."


    " However¡­" His voice became a whisper as he leaned close. " Why do I feel you broke that jar deliberately?''


    Jia Hao was surprised when he heard that, feeling Li Qing had seen through his trick.


    " Well, Brother¡­Would you believe if I say, a stinky and poisonous fly fell in it?" Jia Hao whispered back.


    Li Qing''s pupils shrank for a moment before returning to normal." Why not? I believe it."


    He gave a side nce at Zhou Yan as if he was gesturing something. Zhou Yan nodded as he turned around and left.


    After that, a few maids came and asked the remaining guests to leave. There weren''t many guests in the first ce. And after a while, everyone left. " Brother can be assured now.I am d that you helped me." Li Qing spoke. " My name is Qing Li. What is brother''s name?"


    " My name is Jia Hao." Jia Hao chuckled. " If Brother Qing still has some doubts, you can check the wine."


    One of the bodyguards knelt and wiped a silver needle in the spoilt wine. His brows furrowed when he saw the silver turning ck instantly.


    " This is¡­This should be impossible. Young Master, we already tested the wine before. But how did it get poisonous?"


    " Maybe someone added poison in the midway?"


    Li Qing frowned. But soon enough, Zhou Yan returned. Jia Hao felt a light shiver through his body when he saw some faint blood stains on Zhou Yan''s shoes.


    " It was a Profound Awakening Realm assassin." Zhou Yan''s voice turned cold. " Young Master, maybe we should leave¡­"


    " No need, Since Brother Jia saved me, I guess I am lucky." Li Qing chuckled.


    Jia Hao ced his wine on the table as the waitress served various dishes on the table. " I always love this Yellow Wave Wine. It really gives a good sting." Li Qing drank a mouthful of rice wine as heughed. However, he saw Jia Hao''s expression wasn''t very good.


    " What happened, Brother Jia? You didn''t like the wine?" Li Qing asked in a curious voice.


    " Uhh¡­A bit." Jia Hao gave a fake smile. However, this wine tasted almost the same as some low quality beer. '' Hmm, the distition technique in ancient times wasn''t developed. This is the best quality wine for amon man? Even a kid won''t get drunk by this.''


    After that, he tried eating the stuffed beans and steak. The stuffed buns were pretty in and the steak was very chewy. Jia Hao felt his appetite vanishing when he tasted it.


    '' Although I can feel the vor of soybean paste, it can''t match the soy sauce at all.'' Jia Hao sighed. " I guess brother Jia doesn''t have much appetite." Li Qing smiled.


    " Perhaps." Jia Haoughed lightly. " Maybe I should go back and eat from the hand of my wife?"


    " Brother Jia is married?"


    " Just two days ago."


    " Oh?" Li Qing nodded with a smile. " I hope your marriage life goes well."


    " Brother Jia, Since you have helped me, it''s my duty to repay your favor. How should I repay it?"


    '' Just don''t behead me.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly. " Ahem, Brother Qing, don''t say like that. After all, saving a life is greater than building a seven floor pagoda."


    " I hope Brother Qing remains cautious in the future." Jia Hao spoke as he got up. He already eaten enough and doesn''t wish to eat more.


    " Brother Jia, here, Keep this." Li Qing smiled as he passed a red que to Jia Hao.


    " This is a VIP que of Hongxin Tower. If you show this, they will treat you as a VIP and never ask for money."


    " Thank you for this token, Brother Qing." Jia Haoughed lightly as he epted it.


    '' Heh, I wonder if I evere here again. No way I will eat nd food. I am not a westerner.''


    As Jia Hao left, Li Qing''s gaze became serious. " Someone even tried to poison me and none of you noticed?"


    " Only a few people knew where I am going. Zhou Yan, I want to see the traitor''s head till evening."


    " It shall be done, Young Lord." Zhou Yan bowed. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Also, Dig into Jia Hao''s background. He seems to be interesting. But I don''tthink he is a martial artist."


    " Indeed. I also had a feeling that he never practiced martial arts. But his aura is pretty stable." Zhou Yan nodded with confirmation.


    " Interesting. I wonder which family young master he is."

 Chapter 35 Happy Cai Yunhai

    35 Happy Cai Yunhai


    While Jia Hao was walking down the street, his mind was upied by the food he ate in the Hongxin Tower.


    '' The food is so nd. But it''s because the cooking technology was limited here and there was ack of sauces and spices.'' Jia Hao mumbled.


    " Aha! Here, I finally found my gold mine!" Jia Hao suddenly pped his palms as an idea shed in his mind.


    As he returned to the Cai Family estate, the guards bowed as they allowed him to go inside.


    However, he suddenly saw Cai Yunhai talking with some members with a serious face. Seeing Jia Hao, Cai Yunhai sent them away as he looked at him.


    " Not bad. Yixue has told me everything." Cai Yunhai nodded as he patted the shoulder of Jia Hao.


    " Hmm? Not bad. You look more vigorous and powerful than before. Did the Crimson Vigor Pill work well?" Cai Yunhai smiled.


    "En, It worked well, Uncle Cai." Jia Hao nodded with a smile.


    " What uncle?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " Shouldn''t you call me father inw?"


    " Errm¡­Yes, Father inw."


    Cai Yunhai grinned when he heard Jia Hao calling him that. " Come with me. I have something to show to you."


    Jia Hao followed Cai Yunhai into the study room. Cai Yunhai carefully took out a few manuals as he passed them to Jia Hao.


    " Our Cai Family is a military family. We have been serving as a powerful army and martial force for three centuries. Therefore, the umtion of our martial arts is also high."


    " I know you can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage. However, it''s necessary for you to learn some self defence. Therefore, I have taken out some martial arts manuals for you."


    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the manuals. No matter how terrifying Cai Yunhai looks, it looks like he still has a soft spot for Jia Hao.


    " Qi Sea Gathering Art, Gentle Flowing Breath, Rock Shattering Fist, and Lightly Ferry Steps?" Jia Hao was surprised when he took out the manuals. Flipping them, he could see that they weren''t as shallow as the martial arts of Tianshu Nation Suddenly, thinking about something, Jia Hao also took out three booklets from his robe.


    " Father inw, I have gotten these martial techniques. I wonder if these are useful?"


    Cai Yunhai was surprised as he took the three booklets. Reading the Eight Trigram Palms, he shook his head.


    " What are these? I can''t understand thenguage." Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao and spoke.


    " Ahh...Right. I apologize." Jia Hao facepalmed himself. After all, the originalnguage of the Tianshu Nation would be iprehensible to the Yun Continent people.


    But there are also various drawings for example and Cai Yunhai could deduce a bit from them. After Jia Hai exined the first two techniques, Cai Yunhai nodded.


    " This looks like the most basic form of Eight Trigram Great Palm Art. These moves are good for mortals who have never practiced."


    " However, for practitioners, learning this technique is a waste of time."


    " This¡­Wind Parting Sword Art?" Cai Yunhai''s eyes squinted. " Not bad. This one contains a sword technique that is fast and deadly. This is good as a yellow grade technique."


    " Yellow grade?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Are there different grades of techniques?"


    " Of course." Cai Yunhai nodded.


    " There are five grades of martial arts. Iron grade, Yellow Grade, Xuan grade, Earth grade, and Heaven grade are the five divisions of martial arts."


    " Each technique has four stages, Initial stage, Mid stage, Advanced stage, and Completion. When you reach thepletion stage, that means you have mastered the techniquepletely."


    " This technique is a peak Iron grade technique, touching the threshold of Yellow grade. If you can practice, it would be good."


    " As for this¡­"


    When Cai Yunhai opened the scroll of Hundred Army Battle Formation, his eyelid shrank.


    " Although I can''t understand anything¡­This feels like a book about army formations and tactics, right?"


    " Yes, Father inw." Jia Hao took the scroll and casually spoke the lines that he felt were important.


    Cai Yunhai''s eyes became wider and wider as Jia Hai exined the basic concept of it.


    " This¡­This is no regr technique." Cai Yunhai''s breathing became haggard when he heard that.


    " If we create an army squadron like this, the power of the squadron would be greater than three times that of normal soldiers."


    " Not to mention, if every soldier uses a uniform martial art, the power of the army formation would increase by a lot." Cai Yunhai exined.


    " Our Cai Family only has one Xuan grade military technique. And that''s only a movement technique reserved for our elite soldiers."


    " Aplete technique like this? Perhaps only the Imperial Family of Yan Kingdom and Sun Family have them."


    " However, This feels like¡­A peak Xuan grade or even a Earth grade technique for the army. I¡­"


    Jia Hao could see the eagerness in Cai Yunhai''s eyes. "Father-inw, Do you want this?"


    " Well, I would be lying if I said I don''t want this." Cai Yunhai spoke.


    " However, This is a very precious technique. I can''t just take it from you because you married my daughter."


    " Hehe, It looks like Father inw isn''t a bad person at all." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Why? You thought I was a bad person earlier?" Cai Yunhai was speechless.


    " Anyway, I can trade this technique with you. However, I require something."


    " What is it?"


    " Cores. Demonic beast cores." Jia Hao spoke. " I want high quality ones, which contain a lot of energy."


    " Our family do have some. I will give to you." Cai Yunhai nodded. " However, you must trante the technique thoroughly. If there is any mistake in trantion, it would be very bad for us."


    " Very well, Father inw." Jia Hao nodded. But then, thinking about something, he looked at him again.


    " Father inw, Have you tasted the Yellow Wave Wine of Hongxin Tower?"


    " Yes, Why do you ask?" Cai Yunhai nodded.


    " How did you feel about the wine?"


    " It''s very good." Cai Yunhai smiled. " However, It''s not the best I had. They give a special wine every year at a high price. It''s called Hundred Wave Wine, which is much stronger and vorful."


    " Then, I hope you can also taste this." Jia Hao smiled as he took out the bottle of whiskey."


    " This¡­This is a polished ss bottle?" Cai Yunhai was stunned. " I have never seen a crystal this transparent."


    " Really? You don''t have mirrors?" Jia Hao asked in surprise.


    " We do have ss mirrors. However, they don''t like reflective as this one." Cai Yunhai admitted.


    Jia Hao made another mental note while Cai Yunhai opened the cork. " Mm¡­This smells¡­"


    " Shall I bring a cup-"


    Before Jia Hao could finish his sentence, Cai Yunhai drank the entire bottle in a single breath.


    " Hahaha! AHAHAHA!"


    Cai Yunhai wiped his lips as heughed out loud. " My, such distinct and vorful wine. I have never tasted such wine before."


    " To think after a long time, I can finally get drunk with wine." Cai Yunhai held Jia Hao tightly.


    " Brat, You were hiding such a good thing for me? Hurry up and give me a dozen more bottles?"


    " Father inw, I can''t carry that much on me, can I?" Jia Hao was speechless. " But if you say, I can purchase more."


    " Good! Very good!" Cai Yunhai nodded. " You must bring a lot this time. As for money¡­Hehe, I will pay."


    " Old Yang? Old Yang!"


    " Yes, Patriarch."


    Old Yang appeared before Cai Yunhai. Cai Yunhai gave him a seal. " Take him to the storehouse and let him pick whatever he wants."


    " Yes, Patriarch." Old Yang nodded as he guided Jia Hai to the warehouse.


    Jia Hao took a breath of cold air as he followed Old Yang to an underground cer. He could see various traps around the passage through his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    Pressing the seal on the wall, a heavy door slowly opened. Jia Hao''s eyes shone as he walked inside.


    " Wow, you stored so many things here." Jia Hao looked around with amazement. From weapons to gold, various secret techniques, and even medicinal pills, he could see many things.


    " Ah, there it is."


    Walking to a ce, Jia Hao opened a box and saw a few crystals glowing with a faint gleam.


    Jia Hao picked all of them and threw them into the Pot of Miracle. However,after a while, the pot spat back the smaller ones out.


    '' Damn, What a picky bastard. Now, You only want to eat the high quality demon beast cores?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort.


    [ Ding! The energy quota has been met. Asking the host to prepare the blood and soul energy] n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " ??? I beg your pardon?"


    Jia Hao''s expression changed when he saw that. " Now, I have to kill people and feed their corpses to you?"


    " What the hell? Are you Pot of Miracles or Pot of Death?" Jia Hao almost cursed out. However, the Pot of Miracles remained silent, making Jia Hao angered even more.


    '' Fuck you!''


    With a sigh, he turned around and looked at Old Yang. " I took what I wanted."


    " You¡­You really took the four high grade demonic beast cores?" Old Yang was speechless.


    " You know they cost over 100,000 taels of gold, right?"


    " What?"

 Chapter 36 New Business Models

    36 New Business Models


    Jia Hao stared at Old Yang with a questioning look. Old Yang nodded again to confirm Jia Hao. " Yes, It is what you heard, Young Master Jia."


    " Well¡­No worries. A hundred thousand gold is nothing." Jia Hao gave a hollowugh as he turned around. Picking a few more things, he turned around.


    " Let''s go back."


    Old Yang shook his head when he heard that. " Very well, Young Master."


    When he returned to his room, he saw Cai Yixue sitting in the garden attached to their courtyard, reading a book.


    " You have returned?" Cai Yixue turned around and looked at Jia Hao. " What sort of wine you give to father? He can''t stop praising it."


    " Hehe, Nothing. It''s just a small token of appreciation." Jia Hao grinned as he sat beside her.


    " Wife, I want to ask you something." Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue and asked.


    " Can you tell me about the Yan Kingdom, Yun Continent and these strange monsters?"


    Cai Yixue looked surprised when she heard Jia Hao''s question. " You don''t know?"


    " If I knew, Would I have asked to you?" Jia Hao gave a wry smile.


    " Well, As you know, This world is known as Yun Continent. Currently, we are on the Kyushu maind. A thousand years ago, a great part of the Kyushu continent was ruled by Zhou Dynasty."


    " However, they weren''t the only power. There were also a hundred families, foreign tribes, Yao races, hidden sects across thend, each with their own power."


    " Five hundred years ago, a strange mist descended to the world. The borders between various regions were cut off, which spread chaos across the Kyushu maind."


    " Yao or demon beast race were the original habitants of the Kyushu maind."


    " However, from the dark mist rose strange monsters, simr to the demon race. Some of them were simply hostile to living beings as they only cared about their races."


    " We started to call them Dark Monsters. For example, the goblins you faced are considered as Dark Monsters."


    " The invasion of the dark mist also increased the spiritual energy across thend. However, due to the Zhou Dynasty got weakened, the civil war started."


    " The seventh prince of the Zhou Dynasty rebelled as he took several generals and marched towards the south. In the name of quelling rebellion, he conquerednd across thends in the southern direction."


    " But instead of returning to the Zhou Dynasty, he made the Yan Kingdom and became the king."


    " The Zhou Dynasty did nothing?" Jia Hao asked in a surprised voice.


    " What can they do?" Cai Yixue shrugged. " Too many things popped out before them, so they can only concentrate their force and face the bigger problems."


    " However, there are many foreign races that appeared, making the situation even more chaotic. Elves, Dwarves, and many other mystical tribes also appeared."


    " But it was also the era where martial techniques and spiritual arts flourished. The powers that were being suppressed by the Zhou Dynasty started to rise and vie with each other for the imperial hegemony."


    " Our family''s ancestor followed the First Emperor through all his expeditions. My father is the sixth generation patriarch of Cai Family and one of the six great generals."


    " But of course, as the Imperial Family consolidated, they started to reduce the military power of all families." Cai Yixue snorted lightly. " Otherwise, do you think our Cai Family declined to this state?"


    Jia Hao was amazed when he heard about the history of the Yun Continent. '' It''s like a sh between two types of fantasy. Not to mention, these dark monsters have simrities but different origins than demon beasts.''


    Demon beasts, which are also called as Yao race, the demon in their name is because they gained senitnent.


    After years of practice andprehension, even ordinary beasts and nts gain spirituality, turning them into demons. At first, they can only perceive their surroundings with intelligence. After that, they learnmunication and techniques simr to the martial artists.


    After reaching a certain state, they can even transform into humans.


    '' Hmm, I wonder if I can find cat girls and snake girls here?'' Jia Hao gave a light cough as he cleared his mind.


    " But no need to worry." Cai Yixue spoke with assurance. " With years of expeditions, the Great Yan Kingdom expelled all the foreign forces outside of its territory."


    " Other than a few danger zones, you won''t encounter dark monsters at all."


    " Well, That''s good." Jia Hao sighed in relief.


    " Wife, Do we have any food shops under our businesses?"


    Cai Yixue was taken aback. " We do have two of them. But they aren''t big as a restaurant."


    " One is a bun shop and another is tea and snack house." Cai Yixue spoke.


    " And, How much returns we get per year?" Jia Hao asked again.


    " Roughly around¡­.30,000 taels of gold?" Cai Yixue thought for a moment and answered.


    " No, thebination of both."


    Jia Hao became speechless when he heard that.


    When he saw the Hongxin Tower, he saw several dishes whose prices were over a thousand taels of gold. Even if the shops were two small shops, Jia Hao thought both shops would earn over 100,000 taels of gold.


    Ten taels of gold are enough for a farmer to live for a year. The ordinary soldiers get thirty taels per year.


    However, how can you call your family or group a rich aristocrat if you don''t earn over 100,000 taels per year? Not to mention Cai Family, which has one of the highest standing in Nanhai City.


    " Well, There are better shops in the city. Why would peoplee to our shop instead of going to them?" Cai Yixue smiled bitterly.


    " However, Recently, our silk business is also going down. I am thinking of withdrawing all silk business and also pulling out money from our food stores. We should focus on our army and smithies for now."


    " Why?" Jia Hao interrupted her.


    " The food and silk business are practically gold mine. Why do you want to withdraw from it?"


    " What else we can do?" Cai Yixue rolled her eyes.


    " Niu Family is one of the biggest silk merchants in Nanhai City. He supplies silk to various nobles and even the imperial family."


    " They alone are this powerful?"


    " Naturally not. They are supported by the Leng Family of Imperial Capital. Their business andmerce spread across the entire kingdom."


    " Not to mention, one of the Leng Family''s young miss is the concubine of the second prince."


    " I guess after getting humiliated by the Cai Family, the Niu Family already started their counterattack, huh?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " You are sharp."


    " But I insist. Do not close any of the business. And, you don''t need to worry about the money supplied to them for the time being."


    " Why?" Cai Yixue questioned. Jia Hao only gave a devilish smirk.


    " Did you forget our dear ountant Zhu Wuya is going to give us a lot of money?"


    Cai Yixue''s eyes turned wide when she realized that. " Ah, How could I forget about that?"


    " However, even with the influx of money, can we salvage these sinking businesses?" Cai Yixue argued. " Why don''t we¡­"


    " Don''t worry, My wife." Jia Hao suddenly leaned towards Cai Yixue, making her stunned.


    " Since I have asked you to continue these businesses, I will naturally find some way to save them."


    Cai Yixue''s heart thumped faster when she saw Jia Hao trying to hold her palm.


    " Ahem, I guess you are right. I should believe you." Cai Yixue turned away as she pushed Jia Hao away lightly.


    Jia Hao became amused as he could see faint strings of pink thread rising from Cai Yixue''s body. But they broke instantly.


    '' Haha, I guess my wife still has some temper, huh?'' Jia Hao rubbed his chin. " No worries, I will melt your heart for me."


    " Did you say anything?" Cai Yixue asked in confusion.


    " No, Not at all." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " Also, In a few days, something big is going to happen. I hope you stay with us." Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao.


    " Afraid not, Wife." Jia Hao grinned. " As long as I am here, no one can touch Cai Family."


    " En¡­"


    Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao till his figure vanished. With a light sigh, she rubbed her cheek.


    " He¡­He is pretty considerate."


    Cai Yixue mumbled as she fell in deep thought.


    " Young Miss, Patriarch has sent you a message." Minmin appeared as she bowed before Cai Yixue.


    Taking the scroll, Cai Yixue read it thoroughly. "Interesting, has the Emperor finally decided to y this game?"


    " What happened, Young Miss?"


    " Three dayster, the selection of Nanhai City Magistrate will happen. Father is probably going topete for this position as the status is the same as the City Lord of Nanhai City."


    " However, to be the City Magistrate and be the head ofw and justice in Nanhai City, he needed to pass a test." Cai Yixue sighed.


    " I am afraid, Niu Family, Shi Family, and some other powers in the Nanhai City won''t agree." Minmin raised her concerns. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " I know that, Minmin." Cai Yixue nodded. " However, We need to grab this opportunity no matter what. Because, if Father bes the City Magistrate, no one would be able to shake the foundation of the Cai Family anymore.

 Chapter 37 Going To Academy

    Chapter 37 Going To Academy


    After reviewing some more things about the Yun Continent''s situation, Jia Hao returned to Tianshu Nation. After all, Zhu Wuya going to make his move two dayster.


    So, Jia Hao currently has an entire week of time in Tianshu World. Not to mention, in this one week, he had to do many things to create a business path between two worlds.


    After sleeping a few hours in Tianshu World, Jia Hao got up and walked out.


    " Ah, you are awake." Su Xing''er was waiting for Jia Hao as she looked at her.


    " Xing''er, We are going to a new ce for exercise." Jia Hao chuckled as he put on a headphone and walked to the downstairs.


    " Where?" Su Xing''er was interested.


    As they jogged at a moderate pace, soon they reached the Southern Edge Dojo.


    " Southern Edge Dojo? Do you want me to practice martial arts?" Su Xing''er joked.


    " If you want, You can naturally do it." Jia Hao shrugged. " However, there is a gym upstairs. So, we can go there for exercise."


    " Did you buy a membership?"


    " Nah, It''s free for us." Jia Hao grinned as he walked inside. " Heya, Sister Yu. Is Miss Jiang still inside?"


    " Ah, Little brother Jia. Wee." The receptionist just came here as she was drinking a cup of coffee. " Miss is in the dojo, practicing her martial arts."


    " Who is it?"


    Jiang Ruoyu walked out as she wiped her sweat with a towel. However, when her gaze fell on Jia Hao, her body trembled as she took a step back.


    " Wh-Why are you here?" She asked in a vignt voice.


    " Well, Xing''er, meet Miss Jiang Ruoyu, the current head of Southern Edge Dojo. Miss Jiang, meet Su Xing''er."


    " Hello, Sister Jiang. You are so young and pretty. I am t his rascal''s cousin." Su Xing''er smiled.


    " He is a rascal indeed." Jiang Ruoyu nodded, making Su Xing''er''s expression falter.


    " Well, We are going to the gym upstairs. I hope you won''t mind, right?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    Seeing Jia Hao''s cheeky smile, Jiang Ruoyu wished to punch him in the face. But she sighed and nodded, " You are free to use it."


    " Well, I am going upstairs then. Xing''er,e with me."


    " No, I have some other ns now." Su Xing''er looked at Jiang Ruoyu. " Sister Ruoyu, I also know judo. I wonder if you can give me some pointers."


    " I practice the martial arts of the Tianshu Nation. So, I don''t think I can give you pointers regarding judo." Jiang Ruoyu could see the enthusiasm in Su Xing''er''s eyes.


    " Then, how about a spar?"


    " This¡­I can do that."


    " Hehe, Very well. I always wanted to fight against a real master." Su Xing''er became happy when she saw Jiang Ruoyu agreeing.


    " Well then, You guys can spar with each other. I am going to the gym."Jia Hao didn''t bother as he walked to the upstairs.


    " Alright, Today''s goal is to do five hundred rounds of each instrument."


    " Now, after five more days till I receive my reward."


    After an hour, Jia Hao walked out of the gym and saw Jiang Ruoyu and Su Xing''er panting in the dojo.


    " Not bad, You have a solid grasp of your footwork." Jiang Ruoyu nodded."However, if a person with higher physical strength appears, you might lose your advantage."


    " Therefore, I think you should learn the basics of Eight Trigram Palms too."


    " Eight Trigram Palms?" Su Xing''er thought for a moment. " Hmm, Is Sister Jiang free enough to teach me?" " Of course, we can train every morning." Jiang Ruoyu nodded.


    " Tsk, Sister Jiang is so biased. You never invited me to practice together though?"


    Jiang Ruoyu turned around and saw Jia Hao entering the training room, His face was glistening with sweat, showing evidence of his intense workout.


    " I doubt you need my assistance, Brother Jia." Jiang Ruoyu spoke in a suppressed voice. " After all, before you, I am just a helpless and weak girl."


    " Well, That''s the truth though." Jia Hao grinned. " Xing''er, why don''t you go outside? I want to talk with Sister Jiang in private."


    " Alright. Don''t dy, we have to return too." Su Xing''er gave a side eye to Jia Hao as she walked outside.


    Suddenly, Jiang Ruoyu Jia Hao pulled her into his embrace. " Wh-What are you doing? Let me go!"


    She struggled with all her might. However, Jia Hao''s grasp was like an iron pincer, making her unable to move.


    " Oh, You forget your savior and lover so fast, Sister Jiang?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " Well, Did you pay back your debt and receive the receipt?"


    Jiang Ruoyu stopped struggling as she nodded. " Yes, I did it."


    " So, Now you are free, huh?" Jia Hao smiled. " Well, your troublesome days are over. How do you feel?"


    " Th-Thank you." Jiang Ruoyu spoke in a meek voice. " If it wasn''t for your help¡­ Wa-Wait, What are you doing?"


    Jiang Ruoyu blushed when she felt Jia Hao''s lips roaming over her neck. " I am¡­I am still sweaty."


    " It doesn''t matter, Sister Jiang." Jia Hao grinned as he kissed her passionately. " It''s same as dew drops on the petals of a fiery rose."


    " You!!"


    Jiang Ruoyu felt her legs softening when she heard such words from Jia Hao''s mouth. Her heart fluttered as a strange warmth spread across her body.


    She could also feel the stiffness of Jia Hao''s pants poking her waist, making her remind when she relieved Jia Hao''s little brother.


    Suddenly, she felt like she could inhale that strange fragrance, filled with lust and domination.


    As time passed, Jiang Ruoyu became less and less defensive, letting Jia Hao touch her how he liked.


    " Not bad, Sister Jiang. You understood your situation pretty clearly." Jia Hao smiled as he let her go. " Also, don''t worry about the dojo and gym. Soon, you are going to recruit more staff because a lot of people are going toe here."


    " Are you sure? How can you say that?" Jiang Ruoyu hurriedly adjusted her clothes as she looked at Jia Hao. " Hehe, Don''t worry, I just know." Jia Hao grinned as he opened the sliding door and walked out. Not long after, the receptionist came running to Jiang Ruoyu. " Miss Jiang, More than ten people are here to register for our gym! Also, three of them want to learn martial arts from you!"


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    Jiang Ruoyu was surprised when she heard that. ''


    Could it be¡­He was telling the truth?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Jia Hao, do you and Sister Jiang got something between¡­" Su Xing''er asked in a curious voice.


    " What? We are just¡­friends." Jia Hao grinned. " Why? Is Xing''er feeling jealous?"


    " Bah! Why would I?" Su Xing''er''s cheeks turned red as she looked away. " You can rot anywhere you want, I don''t care."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao chuckled when he heard that. " Well, Since Xing''er is jealous, I shall punish myself by buying a strawberry vani ice cream for Xing''er."


    " You!!"


    Xing''er pouted as she increased her pace.


    " Although I am not jealous, I shall show magnanimity and ept your meagerpensation."


    " Hehe, Alright."


    As they reached the home, Su Yunqi already prepared the breakfast.


    " Well, I am also going to school. So, I shall go and take a quick shower." Jia Hao informed to Su Yunqi as he rushed upstairs."


    " Finally, He stopped beingzy." Su Xing''er snorted lightly as she also walked to her own room.


    However, when Jia Hao came down wearing his uniform, Su Yunqi couldn''t help but be surprised.


    " Hao''er, Your clothes look so tight!"


    " Yes, Aunt Su." Jia Hai grimaced. " I guess I need to buy a pair of new clothes. These clothes are too small."


    " Hehe, I guess you really grew faster, eh?" Su Lan giggled. " Come, eat the breakfast. You must be hungry after working out."


    " Sister Lan is considerate as always." Jia Hao smiled as he took a spoonful of congee. " What happened to the music sheet I gave you, sister Lan?"


    " Ah that?" Su Lan rubbed her eyes. " It was really too good and also simr to the music I practiced. With a little more practice, I am able to y it thoroughly."


    " What music? I thought you are going to y the Rain and Boat in thepetition?" Su Yunqi was surprised.


    " Well, Mom, I am going to y that." Su Lan nodded. " However, I am also practicing a new sheet of music."


    " That''s good then."


    " Alright, I have finished eating." Jia Hao got up. " Xing''er, Are you something with me?"


    " Of course, I am." Su Xing''erbed her hair and held her school bag. " Alright, Take our car. I have already asked Uncle He to drop you at the school" Su Yunqi spoke.


    " Alright, Take our car. I have already asked Uncle He to drop you at the school" Su Yunqi spoke. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Both Jia Hao and Su Xing''er nodded as they sat in the ck benz. Uncle He was the trusted driver of the Su Family and Jia Hao couldn''t help but tease him.


    " Uncle He, I hope you aren''t bored to pick and drop us at house and school."


    "Hoho, Xiao Hao, are you saying I am already old?" Uncle He chuckled as he rubbed his white moustache.


    " Well, You should also take some rest, Uncle He. Jia Hao is saying right." Su Xing''er nodded.


    " Thank you for your concern, Lady Xing''er. But I am fine."


    Soon, they reached a big high school, which looked like a miniature rich college. Jia Hao couldn''t help but click his tongue when he saw it.


    " It looks even more majestic than the pictures I have seen in the game."

 Chapter 38 Bully And Bullied

    Chapter 38 Bully And Bullied


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he wasing to the school after two weeks.


    Su Xing''er and his ssrooms were different, so they separated and walked to their respective ssrooms.


    However, as Jia Hao was about to open the sliding door, he sighed.


    " These bastards¡­They don''t have anything better do, huh?"


    The moment he opened the door, a cup fell on his head.


    " Haha! Look! He opened the door!"


    " Oh god! Hurry up and turn on the camera!"


    " Hehe, Jia Hao will be an old man instantly!"


    The cup was mixed with water and chalk dust. However, as everyone expected Jia Hao''s hair to turn white, Jia Hao simply moved.


    *SHUAA!*


    With a wave of his hands, he caught the cup, without spilling a drop of the fluid.


    " Guys, Why must you make this worse ss of our grade to the worst?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh as he ced the cup on the table.


    " D-Did you see that?"


    " Wait, Is that really the Jia Hao we knew?"


    " Damn, he looks so cool and handsome."


    The mocking giggles were reced with shocked murmurs as Jia Hao walked to his seat. His eyes remained calm when he saw cigarette burn marks along with lots of writing.


    " Fatty Li, Which bastard did this?" Jia Hao looked at Fatty who was sitting in the seat next to him.


    After all, like all cliches, he also has a fatty as a friend.


    " Huh? Who is calling me¡­" The fatty was ying on his phone. After getting yanked by Jia Hao a few more times, He raised his head and saw Jia Hao.


    " Brother Hao! It''s you!"


    Li Pingzi looked at Jia Hao as he tried to hug him. " Boohoo! Brother, I heard about your parents. I am so saddened!"


    " Wait, Why did your height increase so much? And your body¡­Hell, How did you bulk so much??"


    " Alright, I understand!" Jia Hao pushed him back as he dusted his seat.


    " Now, Tell me who did this?"


    " It''s Cheng Guo and his bastards." Li Pingzi whispered as he resumed ying on his phone.


    " Why? Cheng Guo?" Jia Hao frowned. " Why did he do that?"


    " Well, While you are on leave, this seat was used by Fang Qing. That wussy breadshuttle."


    " Him?" Jia Hao frowned when he heard that. " Fucking hell! If they wanted to beat him, they should have harassed him outside. Why did they mess with my seat?"


    " What can you say to a bastard like Cheng Guo?" Li Pingzi shrugged.


    Jia Hao cleaned his seat as he sat down. Closing his eyes, he tried to recall all the information about Fang Qing.


    '' Hmm, Fang Qing, if my memories are correct¡­.It''s that bastard.'' Jia Hao thought about something as his eyelid twitched.


    Fang Qing was also a side character whose fate was nothing more than to be bullied. However, Jia Hao didn''t have any concerns about him.


    '' In fact¡­If I can use him, I might¡­Heh.'' He suddenly thought about a n and nodded with satisfaction.


    However, when he turned around, he saw a blonde beauty was sitting on his left side.


    Not so adjusted attire with a carefree look, she was chatting with another few girls while ying with her phone.


    " Wait, What is she doing here? She is from top ss, right?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Ah, Lin Mei? Yes, She also transferred to our ss." Li Pingzi nodded. " Well, it''s not like you don''t know she is a bitch beauty. However, it was unknown why she was demoted to this ss."


    " And, Cheng Guo did that to Fang Qing because Lin Mei also used to bully Fang Qing."


    Jia Hao frowned as he started to think of various possibilities. After all, only someone of his caliber can piece the information together to find out the future plot of a storyline.


    Then, he looked at Lin Mei as his used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [Name: Lin Mei]


    [ Age: 19]


    [Remark: Prideful Daughter of the chairman of Lin Construction. Utterly entitled and narcissistic. However, the personality can be changed with a dominant force]


    [Recent Future Points: Two dayster, she will submit to Fang Qing as a ve due to ckmailing material in Fang Qing''s hand]


    '' Interesting, very interesting.'' In fact, Jia Hao didn''t have any thoughts about Fang Qing and Lin Mei. However, if someone ask him to choose between Lin Mei and Fang Qing, Jia Hao would choose to help Lin Mei.


    Why? One may ask.


    '' First of all, Lin Mei is a beautiful girl. So she gets advantage in that. As for her shitty personality, I can solve it.''


    '' Secondly, she is the cherished daughter of Lin Shui, the chairman of Lin Constructions. The money and connections of Lin Shui are vaster than Su Yunqi, which is something Jia Hao needs currently.


    '' Money and an obedient beauty, why would I let it go for a breadshuttle, huh?" Jia Hao smirked as he leaned on the chair.


    " Alright, Everyone shut up. The ss has already begun." An old voice spoke as a middle aged man entered the ss.


    " Are you guys ready for the surprise test?"


    " What? Test?"


    " We had a test today?"


    " Dumbass, Teacher already announced it a week ago."


    " It''s still his fault, no? He should have reminded us yesterday."


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but get speechless when he heard his ssmates. However, he didn''t worry when he got the question paper.


    '' Well, Su Lan really revised all my studies, huh? Let''s see the answers.''


    Jia Hao picked up his pen as he scanned the questions on the test paper. His brain worked quickly as he felt the questions were too easy. Not long after, he started to write quickly.


    As time passed, the ssroom became quieter, with the only sound of pen scribbling and page flipping remained.


    " Psss!"


    " Hey! Tall guy!"


    Jia Hao turned around and saw Lin Mei calling him.


    " Can you show me your answers?" She spoke in a hushed voice as she looked at Jia Hao.


    At first, she was disgusted when she saw Fang Qing sitting next to her. However, then someone told Lin Mei that it was someone else''s seat.


    And today seeing Jia Hao, Lon Mei felt that her new neighbour wasn''t bad at all.


    Not to mention, seeing Jia Hao writing with such ease, Lin Mei felt like he knew what he was writing.


    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw Lin Mei was calling her. But with a grin on his face, he turned around and showed her some answers.


    Lin Mei''s eyes sparkled when she saw Jia Hao showing her the answers.


    '' Heh, As I thought. How can a young man resist my charm?'' Lin Mei grinned as she quickly wrote down the answers.


    However, after a while, Jia Hao took back his paper and continued to write it.


    " Damn it! Show me the number 6! I only wrote half of it!"


    Lin Mei tried to call Jia Hao many times. However, this time, Jia Hao simply ignored her.


    '' What''s with this guy? A moment ago he was showing me all the answers. And now, he isn''t even listening to me!'' Lin Mei gnashed her teeth as she looked at her iplete answer.


    '' Fuck! I am going to see him after this test!''


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Brother Jia! Help me! I will give you a treat after the test!''


    Jia Hao turned around and saw Li Pingzi''s eyes staring at his paper as if he was going to shoot aser beam the next moment.


    " Calm down, Fatty! I am showing the answers, alright? No need to be agitated!" Jia Hao calmed him down as he showed him his answers.


    Lin Mei became more angry when she saw Jia Hao helping Li Pingzi but not her.


    " Alright, Students, Time''s up!" The teacher spoke as he started to collect the papers.


    " No, Teacher! Just give me a moment!"


    " Sir, I forgot to write my name. Just a minute!"


    " Last question! Teacher, Please wait!"


    The teacher grinned with satisfaction when he saw the urgency on the faces of students.


    '' Oh, How I love the feeling when I snatch their papers. Hmph, serves right to you little swines.'' The teacher grinned inwardly.


    However when he reached near Jia Hao, he was surprised when Jia Hao naded his paper with confidence.


    " Eh? You are Jia Hao, right?" The teacher was surprised. " I didn''t see you over a week, yet you changed so much."


    " Well, I guess I changed for good, teacher." Jia Hao chuckled.


    The teacher nodded as he walked past Jia Hao and collected all the answers.


    " Hooo, Brother Jia, Thank you for showing me the answers." Li Pingzi looked at Jia Hao as he scratched his hair.


    The teacher nodded as he walked past Jia Hao and collected all the answers. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Hooo, Brother Jia, Thank you for showing me the answers." Li Pingzi looked at Jia Hao as he scratched his hair.


    " But, Although you attempted all the questions, are you sure all of them are right?"


    " Damn it! Fatty, Are you questioning me?!" Jia Hao couldn''t help but throw a light punch at him.


    " Your name is Jia Hao, right?" Suddenly, Jia Hao turned around and saw Lin Mei walking toward him.


    " I asked you to show me the answers. Why didn''t you show it to me?" She asked with a hint of annoyance and anger.


    " Why would I?" Jia Hao looked at her and spoke.


    " Or, Wait a second¡­"


    " Who are you?"

 Chapter 39 Intrigued Lin Mei

    39 Intrigued Lin Mei


    Lin Mei felt her mind malfunctioned a bit when she heard Jia Hao''s question.


    " Wh-What did you say? You are asking who am I?" Lin Mei asked again in a shocked voice.


    " I mean, we never introduced ourselves." Jia Hao spoke in a light tone. " How can I know who you are?"


    " Yo-You¡­"


    Lin Mei''s expression twitched, but a strange smile appeared on her face. She stretched her hand for a handshake.


    " My name is Lin Mei, I am new in this section. How about you?"


    " I am Jia Hao, I took a two week leave due to some issues." Jia Hao shook her hand as she spoke.


    In fact, Original Jia Hao took two week leave because he wanted to go on a vacation with his parents. However, his parents died in the middle of it.


    " I see. Now we have introduced ourselves¡­Why did you only show me half of answers?" Lin Mei asked again in a angered voice.


    " Lin Mei, is it?" Jia Hao looked at her and smirked. " This test¡­do you know the total mark?"


    " 100?" Lin Mei answered half annoyed.


    " Well, After peeking on my paper, how many marks of question did you attempt?"


    " Over forty?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao. " What do you want to say?"


    " Now assume I hadn''t shown you the answer." Jia Hao chuckled. " How many marks do you think you could have secured?"


    Lin Mei paused when she heard thest question. Since it was a damned surprise test, even her friend sitting in front of her was useless.


    It wasn''t for Jia Hao, she might have submitted a nk paper instead.


    " So-So what?"


    Lin Mei snorted. " Are you getting high and might because you showed me some answers?"


    " I showed you the passing marks, though?" Jia Hao chuckled as he turned around, sitting back in his seat.


    " You were about to fail, I made you pass. However, I am not obliged to show you all the answers, right?"


    " Yo-You!!" Lin Mei clenched her fists when she heard Jia Hao''s answer. Not to mention, seeing him not paying attention to her anymore, she was even more annoyed.


    " Hmph, You dare to cross me? Just wait and see." Lin Mei spoke in a suppressed voice as she turned around and sat back on her seat.


    Taking out her phone, she seemed to message someone.


    After another ss, it was lunch period. As Jia Hao finished his lunch, he saw three students surrounding him.


    " Are you Jia Hao?" One of them asked arrogantly.


    " Yes? Who are you?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at them.


    " Come with us, Boss wants to meet you."


    " Which boss?" Jia Hao snorted lightly when he heard them. " You think I will just go because a random someone called himself Boss?"


    " Yo-You!" One of them became angry when he heard Jia Hao''s retort. " Don''t you know? It''s Brother Cheng, You fool!"


    " You mean Cheng Guo?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Well, Let''s see why that bastard is calling me."


    Seeing Jia Hao''s arrogant attitude, the threeckeys of Cheng Guo snorted. " Hmph, Don''t worry. Once you meet him, he will take out all your attitude."


    As they reach behind the building, Jia Hao saw Cheng Guo stepping on another student.


    Cheng Guo was fat, but he wasn''t obessed. It was evident that he used the fat to his advantage as he kept exercising, increasing his body mass and strength.


    " Hah, Jia Hao,e here." Cheng Guo looked at Jia Hao as he beckoned him toe to him.


    " What? It looks like you got arrogant while you stayed in home, huh?"


    " What do you mean, Cheng Guo?" Jia Hao looked at him. " Why did you call me here anyway? Be fast and don''t waste my time."


    " Look at you." Cheng Guo''s expression turned dark when he saw Jia Hao wasn''t showing him any respect at all.


    " In justa few days, you forgot who is the boss here, huh?" Cheng Guo walked toward Jia Hao, standing before him.


    However, to his surprise, Jia Hao''s height was still a bit more than him.


    '' I thought he was shorter than me?'' Cheng Guo thought inwardly. However, Jia Hao''s expression remained calm.


    " So, you called me here for¡­"


    " You bullied Sister Lin today?" Cheng Guo asked in a cold voice.


    " Not to mention¡­Even if I bullied her, what do you have to do with it?" Jia Hao looked at Cheng Guo.


    " What?! What did you just say?" Cheng Guo''s nose red up. " How dare you to talk to me like this?!"


    Without waiting, Cheng Guo threw a punch at him. '' Hmph, I have to beat ths shit out this Jia Haotoday."


    However, to his surprise, he felt like his punch didn''tnd on Jia Hao''s belly.


    He saw Jia Hao holding his fist tightly, making him unable to retract.


    " Bastard! Let me go!"


    " Oh?"


    Jia Hao snorted as he released Cheng Guo''s fist. However, he also did it with force, making Cheng Guo fall back.


    " Ugh! You fucker!"


    Cheng Guo fell to the ground as he rubbed his fist. " Damn it! What are you waiting for? Break his legs!"


    Jia Hao looked around and saw theckeys of Chneg Guo rushing at him. However, there wasn''t a shred of fear on his face. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Hmph, You guys really think you can outnumber me?" Jia Hao snorted as he stretched his arms.


    His movements are simple and crude, without any fanciness. It even felt like he wasn''t putting any strength at all.


    However, the moment his punches fell on theckeys of Cheng Guo, they cried out in agony as they fell on the ground.


    " Arrgh! My arm!"


    " It hurts! It fucking hurts!"


    Cheng Guo''s eyes turned wide when he saw Jia Hao beating hisckeys into pulp in a few breaths of time. " Wh-What the hell is happening? How can he be so powerful!"


    He started to slowly crawl away from Jia Hao when he saw his gaze falling on his body.


    " Wai-Wait, What do you want to do?" Cheng Guo felt his throat turning dry when he saw Jia Hao''s cold gaze.


    " Well, I thought someone shouted to break my legs, huh?"Jia Hao smiled brightly.


    " Since you requested such a thing, How can I not do it?"


    " Wa-Wai-ARRGHH!"


    Cheng Guo screamed like a pig when Jia Hao stomped on his legs. Cheng Guo rolled on the ground in agony, however, Jia Hao showed no mercy.


    " Mer-Mercy! Don''t¡­.Hit me anymore!" Cheng Guo cried out as he covered his face.


    " If you dare to mess with me once more¡­ Hehe, I will break your arms next time." " No-noo!"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he could feel the overflow of intense anger and fear from Cheng Guo. The negative emotions slowly umted in his seed of desires.


    '' Not bad, A few other types of emotions and desires, I will make the seed perfect.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    '' Well, Violence is really the best way to cultivate the Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Art. But¡­Let''s not be carried away, shall we?''


    Jia Hao snorted as he turned around to leave, but he was surprised when he saw Su Xing''er standing there.


    " Xing''er?"


    Jia Hao was surprised as he saw Su Xing''er walking towards him. " Wait, Xing''er, I can exin¡­"


    " Are you hurt?" She held Jia Hao''s fist and rubbed lightly.


    " Eh? I¡­I am fine."


    " Then it''s good." Su Xing''er nodded. "Lunchtime is already over. Aren''t you going to go back to ss?"


    " Sure¡­" Jia Hao nodded as he followed her back.


    " What? Are you afraid I am going to scold you?" Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao.


    " I guess you won''t." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Why should I?" Su Xing''er grinned. " It''s not like I don''t know about Cheng Guo and his bastards."


    " Initially, I was worried because I thought they might harm you. However, I guess you can handle the situation on your own." " Did youe to save me?" Jia Hao grinned as he suddenly held her waist. " Aw, My little sister really cares about me, huh?"


    " Yo-You! What are you doing!" Su Xing''er looked around with a blushed face as she tried to push Jia Hao away.


    " Gosh, What if someone sees us?" Su Xing''er grumbled. " And¡­You are my brother¡­Only in name, ok?"


    " Heh¡­"


    Jia Hao let her go as he walked back to his own ss. Seeing Jia Hao casually sitting on his seat,Lin Mei was surprised.


    '' Damn it, What was that Cheng Guo was doing? Completely useless bastard!'' Lin Mei muttered in her heart.


    " Lin Mei."


    " Yes?"


    Lin Mei answered subconsciously when she heard someone calling her name. But it was none other than Jia Hao.


    " Well, Next time, if you want to confront me, better do it by yourself." Jia Hao smirked. " Sending useless pieces of shit like Cheng Guo would be wasting time for both of us."


    Lin Mei bit her lips as she tried to ignore Jia Hao. However, something in him still made her intrigued.

 Chapter 40 We Do A Little Blackmailing

    40 We Do A Little ckmailing


    '' Damn it, How dare he act so arrogantly before me? Damn it!'' Although Lin Mei appeared to be calm outside, she was in internal turmoil. " Hey, Mei, Do you know?" One of her friends whispered." Jia Hao''s parents died a few days ago? Both of them died in a car ident."


    " What? Are you telling the truth?" Lin Mei''s expression changed when she heard that.


    " I think so."


    Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao who behaved perfectly normal, as if nothing happened at all. However, Lin Mei felt her anger towards Jia Hao decreasing a bit.


    '' Hmph, I am letting this bastard go away this time. The next time he messes with me, I will see it.'' Lin Mei snorted inwardly.


    Suddenly, her eyes fell on Fang Qing, who was sitting timidly in the ss. Since Cheng Guo and others didn''te to bully him, he seemed to look rxed.


    '' Heh, Let''s do this¡­ The final period of today is PE anyway.'' Lin Mei grinned as she thought of a devious n for Fang Qing.


    .


    .


    " Hahaha! Fang Qing, you finally became a man huh?"


    " Damn it, You dare to steal the undergarment of a girl?"


    " No-No, Guys!" Fang Qing hurriedly spoke before the ss as he threw the pink underwear he was holding on the ground.


    " Oh, I see. I guess it''s what you wear, Huh?" Lin Meiughed out loud.


    " N-No! You! Why? Why are you doing this?" Fang Qing clenched his forehead as he felt despair.


    '' Why? Why am I getting bullied always? Why Lin Mei is picking up on me? What did I do wrong?''


    '' Fuck! Everything! Everything is that''s bitch''s fault! Everything is her fault!''


    Turning around, Fang Qing ran away, leaving the crowdughing at his clown like act. However, one of them was looked at Fang QIng with a calm gaze.


    [Name: Fang Qing] n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    [ Age: 19]


    [ Remark: Weak bodied and weak minded, always getting bullied, Lack of Determination]


    [ Future Turning Points: One hourter, he managed to record Lin Mei changing in the changing room]


    " Heh, This bastard really got some dogshit luck, huh?" Jia Hao grinned when he saw the information of Fang Qing using his Sage'' Divine Eyes.


    As time passed, Jia Hao quietly followed Fang Qing. Since it was still early, almost no one was at the changing room. And, that''s where Fang Qing found a secret spot to hide his phone.


    '' Hehe, With this app, I can view everything like CCTV camera.'' Fang Qing clenched his fist in excitement as he took out another small phone.


    '' You fucking bitches! I will have my revenge today!''


    However, this became a ssic scenario of a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.


    '' Not bad, Fang Qing, Not bad at all. You finally showed your little guts. But¡­How unfortunate that you met me.'' Jia Hao grinned as he recorded Fang Qing nting his phone in the changing room.


    .


    .


    Lin Mei''s body turned cold when she got a message from an unknown number. In the message, there was a video attached, of her being naked and cleaning her body with a towel.


    '' Wh-Who shot this video? Ho-How could they think the girl''s changing room.''


    '' No¡­What should I suppose to do? That person asked me to meet privately¡­Damn it!''


    '' I am screwed! I can''t let¡­No, I have to see which bastard is pulling this shit.''


    Lin Mei was walking to a secluded ce near the school when she saw a familiar figure.


    " Jia Hao? What are you doing here?" Lin Mei was shocked when she saw Jia Hao. " Damn it! You bastard, is this your doing?"


    " You better delete that video. Else, you know my dad, right? He will fucking kill you?"


    " Well, Lin Mei, first of all¡­Shut up."


    Jia Hao walked towards Lin Mei as he spoke in a calm voice. " See this before bbering anything."


    Lin Mei''s eyes focused on the screen as she became speechless. In the video, it was clearly showing Fang Qing cing his phone in the changing room.


    " That motherfucker! How dare he!'' Her face turned red with anger as her body trembled. " I will fucking rip him shreds!"


    " Wait, But how did you know it? And how did you know I received the video?" Lin Mei thought about something as she asked.


    Jia Hao grinned as he took out a phone. " Because¡­Before Fang Qing gets his phone back, I took it."


    " What?! He didn''t get the video?" Lin Mei let out a sigh of relief, only to turn into a stiff doll the next moment.


    " Doesn''t that mean¡­"


    " Yes." Jia Hao''s grin turned wide. " The video is now with me."


    "..."


    Lin Mei''s expression which eased a moment ago turned cold once again. " Uhm¡­Ahem, Jia Hao¡­First of all, Thank you for stealing the phone of Fang Qing. You really saved me from embarrassment."


    " Now, Why don''t you hand that phone to me?" Lin Mei asked in a trembling voice, trying to mask her nervousness with calmness.


    " You want this phone? Here you go." Jia Hao nodded as he gave the phone to Lin Mei.


    " Wait¡­What about the video? You also have a copy, right?"


    " You are funny, Lin Mei." Jia Hao cracked his knuckles. " You wanted the phone, I gave it to you. Now you are asking for the video¡­I have already made several copies of it."


    " Alright, How much?" Lin Mei took a deep breath to suppress her anger and shame. " How much do you want for the video?"


    " 50,000? I can give you 50,000 Yuan right now."


    Jia Hao only smiled when Lin Meis started her negotiation. " What? Not enough? Then 100,000 Yuan."


    " What? Even 100,000 isn''t enoughto sate your wish?" Lin Mei clenched her fist. " 200, 000! I can give you¡­"


    " That''s enough." Jia Hao ced his finger on her lips, making her silent. " You think Ick money?"


    " Then, What the hell do you want?" Lin Mei asked in a quivering voice.


    " Hehe, Well, before I ask something¡­Why don''t you reflect on your situation, Miss Lin?" Jia Hao slowly walked toward her. His devilish grin made Lin Mei more apprehensive.


    " Have you ever thought, The queen of bullying in the school who always acts high and mighty would fall to this state?"


    '' What should I call it? Karma? Have you ever thought the wuss you bullied every day would film your video?"


    " Or me, who you sent Cheng Guang and his goons to teach a lesson?"


    " Wh-What do you mean¡­"


    " What I mean is, this is simply the umtion of the sin you caused till now. If you had an ounce of better attitude, you wouldn''t have fallen in this state."


    Lin Mei''s heart thumped as she kept backing away from Jia Hao, only to feel there was a wall behind her, making her unable to go anywhere.


    Suddenly, her heart thundered as Jia Hao ced his palms on the wall, sealing Lin Mei between his arms.


    " Now, What do you think, Lin Mei? Feeling guilty yet?"


    LIn Mei felt Jia Hao''s voice was truly mystical, as if it was invoking emotions in her heart which buried deep within.


    Jia Hao silently stimted his seed of desire and took out a small amount of power to disrupt the mood of Lin Mei, making her feel guilt, shame and embarrassment.


    " You bastard! You are a real bastard!"


    Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao with anger, her eyes shining with tear droplet.


    " You just want my body, don''t you? You are such a filthy bastard!"


    " Well, I won''t deny it. After all, You are so pretty." Jia Hao grinned as his finger traced on the face.

    Heya, Dear Fellow Daoists, This is your poor humble schr. So, there are many people who are asking me to reduce the chapter price. But the thing is, I can''t. Not because I don''t want to, I simply can''t.


    Price of the chapter is determined by WN, so 1 coin for every 100 words. 15 Coins for 1500-word chapters. However, If I need to get better results, I need toplete the target of writing and posting 1500 words chapter everyday for 30 days (Which I failed this month and lost some money lol)


    Don''t worry, The chapter''s price will decrease after 4 months cuz I will be no longer pursuing target filling. However, till then...

 Chapter 41 Maid Girlfriend Lin Mei

    41 Maid Girlfriend Lin Mei


    " However, It wouldn''t be good if I just force you like this, right?" Jia Hao raised her chin with his finger and forced her to look at him. "Then?"


    " Hmm, You know what? I recently watched a new show." Jia Hao replied yfully.


    " The main character basically got a maid girlfriend. I wonder how it feels to have one¡­"


    " What?" Lin Mei was shocked when she heard Jia Hao. " Bastard! You want me to be your ve?"


    " Ahem, Not ve. very was banned a long ago and you aren''t ¡­that ck hearted that I will make a lowly ve." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " How about we term it like this? Be my obedient girlfriend."


    Lin Mei was speechless when she saw the cheeky smile of Jia Hao.


    She wished to punch him hard in the face and knock a few teeth out. But unfortunately, she was simply helpless before Lin Mei.


    " Bastard¡­ You will meet a very bad end."


    " That''s something I shall decide, Lin Mei." Jia Hao grinned as he pressed her on the wall. " Well, There are few rules I shall establish. I won''t oppose your bullying, but keep it a bit tamed."


    " Second¡­ Obey me no matter what." Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei as he asked her in a deep voice.


    " But of course, No need to worry. I won''t tell you to do something outrageous¡­Unless you agree, Hehe."


    " So, Do you agree?" Jia Hao smiled like a fox who won before a tiger.


    " Or¡­I shall stream the video on the inte?"


    " I¡­ I agree." Lin Mei bit her lips as she looked at Jia Hao with eyes of hatred.


    " Well then¡­Happy cooperation, Miss Lin Mei." Jia Hao grinned as he leaned forward, giving a light peck on her cheeks.


    Lin Mei''s body froze when she felt Jia Hao''s lips on her cheek." Wh-What did you do?"


    " What? Can''t I kiss my girlfriend on her cheek?" Jia Hao grinned as he walked out of her way.


    " Now you are free to go."


    Lin Mei clenched her fist as she picked up her bag and walked out from behind the building. " Lin Mei!" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " What is it?"


    Lin Mei turned around as she looked at Jia Hao with hate.


    " White really does suit you." Jia Hao grinned as he turned around and left.


    " What? White?"


    Lin Mei touched her hair ribbon. " Is he blind? This is red color¡­"


    Suddenly, her body froze as she looked below, her face turning red from shame. Of course, Jia Hao wasn''t talking about her ribbon, but her panties.


    " Bastard! Shameless! Pervert!"


    Lin Mei cursed as her eyes became teary. Without saying anything, she rushed home straight.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao stood and saw Su Xing''ering back. " Huh? You arrived early." Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao.


    " Of course, I finished my work earlier." Jia Hao chuckled.


    *SNIFF! SNIFF!*


    Suddenly, Jia Hao took a step back as he saw Su Xing''er''s faceing close.


    " What''s this smell on you? Feels like a¡­Girl?"


    " What do you mean?" Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that.


    '' Damn it, Did Xing''er born in the year of dog? Why is her nose so powerful?''


    " What what, huh?" Su Xing''er red at Jia Hao with a snort. " You are messing in the school on your first day, right?"


    " Is that how you talk to your Onii Chan, hm?"


    " Fuck! You dare to bring that right here?!"


    Su Xing''er blushed fiercely as she covered Jia Hao''s mouth. How can he talk like that here?


    " Ughhh! Jia Hao!!!"


    Su Xing''er blushed further when the other students gave them a weird nce. However, Jia Hao only giggled when he saw her. Soon, Uncle He arrived in his car and picked up Jia Hao and Su Xing''er.


    " Hao, Why is that woman looking at you like that?"


    " Eh?"


    Jia Hao felt Su Xing''er tugging as she pointed out of the car window. Jia Hao looked outside and saw a pair of angry eyes with puffed cheeks.


    18:13


    She was none other than Lin Mei. Giving off a hateful look towards Jia Hao inside the car, she opened the door of a white BMW and stepped inside. " Why she was looking at you like that?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but be curious. " Did you bully her?"


    " What? How can I bully her?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " You know Lin Mei, right?"


    " Yeah, The beautiful bitch." Su Xing''er chuckled. " However, I can''t say that for sure. Her eyes¡­It contains a strange resentment as if she was wronged."


    " Who cares anyway?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Uncle He, let''s go."


    " Alright, Hao."


    The car moved as Su Xing''er took out her phone to y with. Jia Hao looked outside the window as there were many things running in his mind.


    '' Since I have secured Lin Mei, I think I should be able to move forward with some of my ns. Without any game system, I can only rely on my memory and Sage''s Divine Eyes to change the plot.''


    '' First of all, I need to buy the plot near Mi''an Vige. Because half a monthter, the government going to dere that they are going make a flyover andpensate thendowners.''


    '' I know it because it was the side story of another character. If I invest money, I can easily get a huge amount of returns in no time.''


    As Jia Hao was making ns, he causally used his eyes on Su Xing''er.


    [ Name: Su Xing''er]


    [ Age: 19]


    [ Remark: A girl with highly athletic body, a natural body endowed with great strength and willpower. Second daughter of Su Family]


    [Recent Future Point: Five hourster, a group of unknown men kidnap her at the Velvet Bakery]


    Jia Hao''s expression changed when he saw the recent future point.


    '' Damn it! What the hell is this?" Why would she get kidnapped?'' Jia Hao couldn''t understand.


    He had seen Su Xing''er before and she didn''t have such a plotline. However, now, the changes in the future rmed Jia Hao.


    '' Who could it be? Who can target Su Xing''er?''


    '' Lin Mei? No, She won''t. Others in school? Less likely.''


    '' Then who it could be? Wait! Could it be¡­''


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he thought of a possibility. '' Not bad, I guess you can''t stay still after Su Yuqing got away from the jade auction, huh?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    At 8 PM evening.


    " Huh? This¡­"


    " What happened, Xing''er?" Su Lan looked at Su Xing''er and asked.


    " Oh, Nothing, Sister Lan." Su Xing''er spoke. " A friend of mine came from another city and wants to meet me. She is asking me toe to the Velvet Bakery."


    " Velvet Bakery, Huh?" Su Lan thought for a moment." Although it''s near, It''s a bitte, no?"


    " No need to worry." Jia Hao walked forward. " I will go with Su Xing''er."

 Chapter 42 Foiling The Kidnapping

    42 Foiling The Kidnapping


    " Eh? You want toe with me?" Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao. " Since when did you be so considerate, huh?"


    " It''s not like I am apanying you." Jia Hao shrugged. " I thought, why not eat something fresh from the Velvet Bakery?"


    " Well, What Jia Hao is saying isn''t wrong." Su Yunqi came out of the kitchen as she looked at Su Xing''er. " Xing''er, It''s alreadyte. So, It''s better that Jia Hao goes with you."


    " Hehe, Are you worried about thugs?" Su Xing''er showed Su Yunqi her fist. " I think they should be afraid of me."


    " Whatever, It''s because Uncle He won''t be able to go with you as he left home early today." Su Yunqi spoke. " Therefore, You can only walk to the store. Thankfully, The store is pretty near."


    "Alright, As you say, Mom." Su Xinger nodded as he got ready. " Get up, Lazy bones. You are going to apany me, right? Don''t fall behind."


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. However, he was still a bit concerned about the uing kidnapping.


    '' No matter what, Now I have the strength beyond ordinary people. Hmph, Let''s see how these kidnappers dare to take Xing''er away.''


    Jia Hao put on a cap as he walked out with Su Xing''er.


    " I thought you would keep holed into your room." Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao. " It''s good that you are getting outgoing."


    " Well? Thanks for thepliment." Jia Hao grinned. " Actually, Who is that friend of yours?"


    " You know her." Su Xing''erughed lightly. "Remember three years ago, I brought one of my friends to your house to y?"


    " Uhh¡­Are you talking about the girl with dull eyes?" Jia Hao used his memories as he remembered something.


    " Damn it! How many times do I need to tell you not to call her dull eyes?" Su Xing''er rolled her eyes. " Don''t you dare to talk before Chenchen like this?"


    " Chenchen?" Jia Hao raised his brows when he heard about her name. '' Who is Chenchen? Even using the memory of this body, I can''t seem to remember her face.''


    As their pace was pretty fast, Jia Hao and Su Xing''er arrived at the Velvet Bakery. " You go inside, I will walk around a bit." Jia Hao spoke as he turned stopped before the door of the bakery.


    " Haah? You aren''ting inside?" Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao. " You know, the Blueberry Pastry is pretty good here."


    " I willeter. I need to search for something here." Jia Hao smiled as he turned around and walked to another shop.


    " Weirdo." Su Xing''er muttered as she walked inside the bakery.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao walked around as he looked for suspicious individuals.


    '' Calcting the time, The kidnappers should arrive here in half an hour. I guess Xing''er wille out after half an hour and then get taken away by kidnappers.''


    " Hehe, But with my Sage''s Divine Eyes, How can they escape?" Jia Hao''s grin turned wide as he stood near a shop as he looked around for the suspects.


    Soon enough, he saw a small ck van stood near an alley as a few muscr looking men walked out from it.


    Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao could see their status. [Kidnappers]


    Not to mention, he could also see the overwhelming amount of negative emotions around them like dark aura, thanks to his seed of desire.


    '' Hehe, How excellent. Herees the free XP.''


    After exactly half an hour, Su Xing''er walked out holding a small parcel. However, as she was looking for Jia Hao, she was suddenly surrounded by a group of men.


    " Are you Su Xing''er, Daughter of Su Yunqi?" One of the men asked. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Wh-Who are you?"


    Su Xing''er felt something was wrong as she tried to back away. " Damn it! Let me go!"


    " Hehe, We found her."


    " Hurry up and get her!"


    Suddenly, two of the men grabbed Su Xing''er as they tried to drag her with them. However, Su Xing''er struggled as she raised her legs, kicking on the knee of one of them.


    " Arrgh!! This bitch!"


    " Damn it! Hurry up and give her chloroform!"


    Su Xing''er eyes widened when she saw a person pulling out something like a sprayer. However, at that moment¡­


    " Whoa, You guys are really eager, no?"


    *BAAMM!!*


    Suddenly, a kicknded on that man''s arm, knocking the bottle away.


    " ARRRGHHH!"


    The man clutched his arm as he let out a painful howl. Su Xing''er was also startled when she saw who saved her just now. It was none other than Jia Hao.


    " Well, I just came back right after fucking your mom." Jia Hao showed him a middle finger as he threw another punch like that.


    Using the strength of his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, Jia Hao almost crushed the face of one of the men.


    " Fucker! Die!"


    Seeing hisrades getting beaten, the one looking like leader becake enraged as he pulled out a knife. However, before he could do something, Su Xing''er moved, giving a hand chop to the wrist of the leader, knocking away his knife.


    " Bastard! Go to hell!"


    *WHACCKK!*


    Raising her legs, Su Xing''er simply kicked the groin of that person.


    " UAAHHHRGGHHH!"


    The man fell to the ground with an agonizing grin, as if a pig being butchered. Even Jia Hao shivered when he saw the brutality of Su Xing''er.


    However, all he needed to do was to keep the kidnappers upied. Because, at that moment, police cars came with ring siren as they walked out hurriedly.


    " Damn it! Hurry up and arrest them!" One of the policemen shouted as they hurried and handcuffed the kidnappers.


    " Are you two alright?" The policeman looked at Jia Hao and Su Xing''er as he asked calmly.


    " We got a call that some suspicious people are wandering here, plotting a kidnapping. I guess we arrived at the right moment."


    " What? Someone called you?" Su Xing''er was surprised when she heard that. " Anyway, Why does someone want to kidnap me?"


    " Well, We don''t know. But don''t worry, We will take care of them." The policeman spoke.


    '' Hehe, Look at the sweet amount of hate and anger they are giving to me.'' Jia Hao took a deep breath as he could see the swirling red and ck essence devoured by his seed of desires. The hateful and pained nces of the kidnapper made Jia Hao sigh in pleasure.


    He was the one who called the police earlier. He calcted the time and the police arrived at the exact time, seeing the thugs in action.


    " Xing''er! Are you alright?"


    Suddenly, a girl pushed past the crowd and held Su Xing''er''s arm, looking at her with concern and worry.


    " Chenchen, I am alright." Su Xing''er nodded as she looked at the girl.


    " I don''t think we should stay here for much." Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er. " Let''s return home."


    " Hao¡­Jia Hao?"


    " Huh?"


    Jia Hao finally noticed the presence of the girl as his eyes widened.


    '' This face¡­This figure¡­She¡­She is¡­?!!''


    " Chu Yunli?" Jia Hao replied in a stammering voice.


    " Haha! Hao, You still remember my name?" Chu Yulin nodded with a light smile.


    " However, This pce is not good for talking. Xing''er, Hao, Come with me. I will drop you at the home." Chu Yunli looked at both of them.


    Sitting in her car, Chu Yunli asked her driver to drop them at Su Family Manor.


    " Fuck! Who are these guys? Why do they want to kidnap me?" Su Xing''er bit her nails as she couldn''t help but curse.


    " No worry. Since police already caught them, It''s only a matter of time before they reveal the mastermind."


    Sorry fellow daoist, I am kinda ill right now with high fever so...I will try my best for more chapters

 Chapter 43 New Function of Pot?

    43 New Function of Pot?


    Chu Yunli looked Su Xing''er as she soothed her. " But Hao, You really became powerful, hm? Last time I saw you, you were pretty skinny."


    '' You also changed so much, Sister Yunli." Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli. " You aren''t looking like a girl with deadpan eyes like years ago." He " Ahaha, Is that so?" Chu Yunli grinned. " I guess I had a nice glow up, no?"


    " So, Is your dad still the head of the City Police Beaureau?"


    " Not really. He got promoted and became the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of Azure Province."


    '' As expected, it''s still the same.''


    Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli with a smile, but his mind was upied with a lot of thoughts.


    Jia Hao remembered her as she was also a pretty popr character of Urban Fantasy.


    However, it wasn''t because she was a heroine. But she was one of the most venomous viins out there.


    '' I didn''t know Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli were friends? No, The thing is¡­Chu Yunli shouldn''t be this young!''


    " Sister Chu, You are about to turn 18 this year, right?" Jia Hao suddenly asked.


    " Yeah, My birthday is only two months away." Chu Yunli grinned. " Why? Does Brother Hao wish to give me a gift?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Hehe, Who knows? Maybe?" Jia Hao replied with a jest.


    '' Hmm, As I suspected, this is teenage Chu Yunli, not the adult venomous Chu Yunli. If her eighteenth birthday is only two months away, this means¡­''


    '' Hmm, Interesting. Let''s see how this y out.''


    " So, What are you doing here, Yunli?" Jia Hao asked. " Well, Dad is really busy in his work and the ce we are currently living is a bit far from the city. However, one of his friends contacted him and we purchased a small vi. So, we are moving here."


    " Hehe, Now we can go out together. I am really happy that you are moving here." Su Xing''er nodded with a smile. " You know, we can go to eat the spicy tofu noodles like good old days."


    " Oh god, You are right. I will definitely ask you to go with me to eat spicy noodles."


    " Miss! We have arrived." The driver spoke as they stopped before Su Family manor.


    " Alright, Xing''er, Don''t worry about those bastards." Chu Yunli spoke with puffed cheeks. " I will ask my dad to dig out the answer from them."


    " Thanks, Chenchen. Goodbye and have a safe trip." Su Xing''er spoke. " Call me again when you move to Eastern Sea City. I wille to help you settle down here."


    ,


    ,


    .


    .


    " What? What did you say?" Su Lan and Su Yunqi were rmed when they heard what happened.


    " Damn it! Who are those bastards? How dare put hands on you?" Su Lan shouted in an angry voice. " Mom, You need to do something."


    " Calm down, Lan''er, Sit down." Su Yunqi took a deep breath a sshe sat on the sofa.


    Taking a few deep breaths, Su Yunqi calmed herself. " What happened, happened. We should be d that Xing''er is safe."


    " Also, Thank you, Jia Hao. You really helped Xing''er this time. Come to me, dear."


    Jia Hao walked near Su Yunqi as she hugged him tightly, caressing his hair with affection. " Thank you, Hao''er. You are a strong man, Like your father. If your parents were alive, they would be so proud."


    " But don''t worry, Hao''er."She gently kissed the forehead of Jia Hao. " Even if your mom isn''t here¡­I am here, right? You are like my own son."


    " Thanks, Aunt." Jia Hao epted her hug as he knew her feelings were genuine.


    '' Mm¡­Not bad¡­But I getting so hard right now. Ugh, I need to control it.''


    His brows twitched as he kept the smile. After a few seconds, he took a step back and looked at Su Yunqi.


    " Su Xing''er''s friend, Chu Yunli''s dad is the Provincial Chief of Criminal Investigation Department. So, Don''t worry."


    " However, the thing is, I don''t think they will get much information from the kidnappers." Jia Hao looked at them and spoke.


    " Aunt Su, I think it''s someone who has a grudge against you."


    " What? A grudge against me?" Su Yunqi was surprised. " No, It can''t be¡­"


    " Why it can''t be, Mom?" Su Lan interjected. " Are you forgetting you are a sessful businesswoman? There are so many haters of you. So, Why couldn''t they plot this kidnapping?"


    " This¡­It might be possible." Su Yunqi sighed. " But how can we pinpoint who is behind this?"


    " Don''t worry, Aunt." Jia Hao smiled. " The one who plotted this shall soon get caught."


    " Anyway, I am damned hungry. Xing''er, you bought the Blueberry Pastries, right? Or you dropped them?"


    " Yeah, I am also hungry. Mom, Let''s go and have dinner."


    " Hehe, Alright, my sweet children." Su Yunqi smiled as she turned around and went to the kitchen.


    After having a hearty dinner, everyone retired to their room. Jia Hao sat on his bed cross-legged as he looked at the seed of desire inside his body.


    '' I have already gained enough amount of Anger, Hate, and Horror emotion. I also gained a bit amount of Love and Desire but I need to bnce all emotions and make them reach a second level before I can advance it.''


    " What a strange world. It''s so easy to farm negative emotions, yet so hard to farm positive ones." Jia Hao muttered with a self-depreciating smile.


    Closing his eyes, slowly chanted the buddhist mantra and used his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.


    '' After the fight, I think my control over my body increased by a lot. However, I still struck at the Mercury Marrow stage. I wonder if I can find special medicines here like Yun Continent.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    He can think of a few items which can help him here. However, it would require him toplete a few missions and he is toozy to do them right now.


    ''Wait, I bought some things from the Yun Continent. I wonder what happened to them?''


    Jia Hao suddenly looked into his Pot of Miracles with eager eyes.


    He bought a thousand taels of violet gold, a steel sword, and a small figure of a golden lion.


    However, when he looked into the pot, he was bbergasted.


    All he saw was a small puddle of liquid gold, small shards of metal, and the golden statue.


    [ Violet Gold Essence: Essence refined from a lot of violet gold, It contains a dense amount of Yang and Metal Qi. Using it to refine the body can yield significant results]


    [ Broken Shards of Hundred Temper Cold Iron: These sharp fragments were once part of a sword. Although they are broken, the sharpness increased drasically]


    [ Statue Golden Snow Lion: An ordinary statue refined with arge amount of violet gold and dipped into a great yang pool for nine days. It carries the aura of evil vanquishing snow lion which also brings forth luck]


    " Damn it, What the hell are these?" Jia Hao was speechless as he saw the description of the items.


    '' It looks like the items brought from the Yun Continent got enchanted by the Pot of Miracle is too great for this Urban World of Tianshu Nation. So, they might be destroyed.''


    '' Or, another theory is¡­What if the Pot of Miarcle reduced the treasure instead of enchanting them? Like discarding bad parts and only refining their essence?''

 Chapter 44 A Baffled Lin Mei

    44 A Baffled Lin Mei


    Jia Hao suddenly thought he grasped about an important thing. '' I see, Maybe it works differently ording to the world?''


    '' If I bring something from Tianshu Nation to Yun Continent,the item gets upgraded. However, in vice versa, the item gets reduced and refined.''


    '' Hmm, Although it''s not as practical asthe first one, I think I can do many things with it.''


    Jia Hao looked at the small golden statue of a snow lion as he fell into deep thought. This item was same as he inspected in the treasury of Cai Family.


    '' I guess the points are mainly distributed between the violet gold and the sword.'' Jia Hao mumbled.


    But then, he collected the essence of violet gold into his hands. It felt exactly like mercury, but it gave off a strange warmth.


    Seeing there were no side effects, Jia Hao swiftly drank it. With a strong metallic vor, Jia Hao quickly started to use his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts.


    As he tried to refine the essence of the violet gold in his dantian, his entire body was pierced by countless sharp needles.


    '' Ugh! This is feeling so terrible! It''s like I am being pierced by needles everywhere in my body.'' Jia Hao gritted his teeth as he could feel the essence was slowly merging with his body,


    The energy inside was very powerful as it slowly seeped into his blood and flesh. Jia Hao circted the energy as he tried to reach the River Meridian stage.


    When Jia Hao opened his eyes again, he was bathing in sweat. However, looking outside, he saw the sky was already brightening.


    '' Whoo, I still didn''t reach the River Meridian stage. However, My body is much stronger and robust than before.''


    '' Maybe part of the reason is, that rather than focusing the entire energy of the essence in my meridians, I focused on tempering my skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and marrow once again.''


    Jia Hao felt his body mass increase quite a lot as if it became as dense as the metal itself. And such an increment only makes him even more vigorous and powerful.


    '' Mm, But is it just me or I am feeling a bit hot?" Jia Hao spoke as he walked near the window. " I feel like my natural body temperature increased a lot."


    As usual, after a while, Su Xing''er woke up and both of them hurried to the Southern Edge Dojo.


    " Actually, I never asked but, You fought pretty well." Su Xing''er looked at him. " Did you trained in martial arts?"


    11:37


    " Did I?" Jia Hao scratched his cheek. " Well, You saw that, right? All I threw was some basic punches. I guess it''s them who were weak."


    " I doubt." Su Xing''er shook her head. " I guess you aren''t trained in martial arts. But, you have the natural body of a monster. You have enough strength to not care about any techniques¡­"


    " Well? Why are you calling me monster, eh?" Jia Hao snorted lightly. " Can''t you see how handsome I am?"


    " Heh, Devils are those who are most handsome, no?" Su Xing''er replied with a tease.


    " Oho? How can you say that for sure, hm?" Jia Hao grins. " How about you feel it on first hand?"


    " Oh, What a handsome faced pervert you are." Su Xing''er smirked. " Eyeing on your step sister?"


    " Who is my step sister?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    " Well, You epted Mom as your new momst night, no?" Su Xing''er yed with her fingers. " Well, In that way, Doesn''t that mean me and Lan are your step sisters?"


    " Oh my, I didn''t think it at all." Jia Hao''s eyes gleamed. " However, Xing''er, I think you are forgetting something."


    " Eh? What is it?"


    " Well¡­" Jia Hao''s grin became wide.


    " I don''t think you would like to step sister though. I mean¡­ There is a¡­certain allure in such¡­fantasies, right?"


    Su Xing''er stopped abruptly when she heard Jia Hao''s words. At first, she was a bit confused. However, the realization dawned on her as she understood the double meaning of Jia Hao''s words.


    " Yo-You! Pervert!"


    Su Xing''er face turned crimson as steam came off her head. Without saying anything further, she started to run straight to the Southern Edge Dojo without stopping.


    " Kekeke, Girl, You are still a century younger to tease me." Jia Hao cackled as he chased after her.


    After arriving, Jia Hao spent the next hour exercising in the gym. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    To hit the criteria of every day, he needs toplete all sets of exercises for ten rounds within one session. Even the most athletic person can''t do it without a break.


    And those who can do it won''t do it in this gym. Therefore, harvesting the Strength Attribute points here is only reserved for Jia Hao.


    " Ugh, Why am I feeling so much excited?"


    Jia Hao finished the entire set of exercises in one go. However. After doing that, he felt the rush of adrenaline was much higher than before.


    " Well, It''s good, I guess? All I feel is that we can go for twenty rounds doing them. The essence of violet gold really helped me a lot." Jia Hao wiped his sweat as he walked down from the gym.


    When he entered the dojo, he saw quite a few were practicing already. And, a lot of people were also walking into the gym. Entering the training room, Jia Hao saw Su Xing''er and Jiang Ruoyu sparring with each other.


    Unlike before, Su Xing''er''s moves were sharp and serious. She was truly putting up a fight against Jiang Ruoyu. However, Jiang Ruoyu easily defended against them.


    " Not bad, You have already mastered the basics of Eight Trigram Palms. However, I think you need to keep that little bit of anger in check." Jiang Ruoyu looked at Su Xing''er.


    " Eight Trigram Palm is like Taiji, you need a subtle bnce. Even if you are angry, you must not lose your rationality.Because if you do, you will reveal a weak spot to your opponent."


    " I¡­ I understand, Sister Jiang." Su Xing''er nodded as she sat on the floor.


    " Now, as I taught you today, Practice Falling Mountain and Rippling Lake Palms fifty times."


    Jiang Ruoyu spoke as she turned around to leave. However, she was surprised to see Jia Hao there.


    " Wow, You finished your workout so early?" Jiang Ruoyu looked at Jia Hao and asked.


    " En, It was¡­Easy." Jia Hao spoke in a distracted voice. However, his gaze roamed over Jiang Ruoyu''s figure without blinking.


    The more he looked at her sexy figure covered in sweat, the more he felt the blood rushing in his veins.


    " Are you alright?" Jiang Ruoyu saw Jia Hao''s expression and she couldn''t help but feel a strange feeling. It was like she was being gazed at by a beast in heat, making her body shiver in a strange bliss.


    " I am¡­Alright. I guess I need to rx a bit, yes?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Alright, Xing''er, Hurry up and finish your task before we go back. Today is Saturday and it''s half day in the school."


    " Alright, Just wait for a bit."


    .


    .


    .


    " What? Jia Hao got the perfect score?"


    " Perfect score? How is that possible? The test was so hard!"


    " Not to mention, Lin Mei got fifth position! To think she was actually this studious despite her¡­deeds."


    Even Lin Mei was surprised when she heard she managed to climb to fifth rank.


    '' The fuck, I copied a few answers from his paper and I got the fifth rank?'' Even Lin Mei was baffled. After all, she was already prepared to flunk in the test.


    " Lin Mei, I heard there is a party in your house?"

 Chapter 45 We Are Not Siblings!

    45 We Are Not Siblings!


    Lin Mei looked at a friend as she nodded. " Ah, of course. It''s tonight. You bettere, Alright?"


    However, the moment she said that, she regretted it.


    " Oh, A party, Hm?"


    A voice made Lin Mei shiver as she turned around and looked at Jia Hao, who was standing beside her with a smiling face,


    " Tsk, And you didn''t inform me, huh?"


    " Why would she inform you, Jia Hao?" The friend of Lin Mei became annoyed a bit when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    However, she almost bit her tongue when she heard Lin Mei''s answer.


    " I¡­ I am sorry. I¡­I was just going to tell you." Lin Mei spoke as she tried to avoid looking at Jia Hao.


    Suddenly, the ss door opened and a figure walked inside. It was non other than the Fang Qing.


    However, he was looking like a ghost rather than a person. Dark circles under his eyes, his face pale as a paper.


    " Yoh, Isn''t that Fang Qing?"


    " I guess he is again bullied by Cheng Guang."


    " Who cares, Lol."


    Lin Mei''s eyes suddenly zed with anger as she got up, trying to confront Fang Qing. After all, if he never tried to film her video, the video wouldn''t have fallen into Jia Hao''s hands.


    " Whoa, Lin Mei. Why are you getting so worked up in the morning, huh?" Jia Hao suddenly stood before her. " Did you forget what we have talked about yesterday?"


    " What? You want me to do nothing to him?" Lin Mei snorted as she looked at Jia Hao. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Of course, I won''t stop you." Jia Hao nodded. " However, your bullying tactics are a bit crude."


    Lin Mei was stunned when she heard that. " Too crude? What do you mean?"


    " Do you still have his phone which I gave to you yesterday?"


    " Of course, I have and I have crushed it properly and burned it." Lin Mei snorted.


    Suddenly, her eyes widened when Jia Hao''s face leaned towards her, making her heart beat faster.


    '' Is¡­is he going to do it right now? We are in the ss, Damn it!''


    However, the steamy kissing that Lin Mei expected didn''t happen. Jia Hao merely whispered some words in Lin Mei''s ear.


    Hearing the n, Lin Mei''s face turned odd. However, she couldn''t help but agree to it.


    As Fang Qing sat at his desk, a sudden m on his table made his body distorted from shock and fear.


    " Uwahhh!!"


    " What is it, Fang Qing? You got scared from only this?"


    Fang Qing''s soul chilled when he heard Lin Mei''s voice. " Ye-Yes¡­Sister Lin? Do¡­Do you need¡­Something from¡­Me?"


    " Oh, Nothing really." Lin Mei replied with a light smile, devoid of any malice. " I just found something. I wonder if you can locate this thing''s owner?"


    " Yes?"


    Fang Qing didn''t understand anything at first. However, when he saw what Lin Mei put on the table, his face became whiter.


    " I don''t know whose phone it is¡­But I found it somewhere¡­Inappropriate."


    Lin Mei turned around after cing that broken phone in front of Fang Qing.


    " I hope you can find its owner and return it to him."


    " You will, right?"


    Fang Qing felt his throat turning dry and his palms trembling violently. Seeing his state of shock and despair, Lin Mei felt satisfaction.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao stood behind Fang Qing as he harvested an overwhelming amount of Fear and Despair, storing it inside his seed of desire.


    '' Keke, Now this is called quality over quantity. Now, I have enough amount of negative emotions that I can employ directly in the real world.'' Jia Hao grinned inwardly.


    " Huh? Look!"


    " Fang Qing fainted?"


    " He must have fallen asleep."


    " Not bad¡­Although you don''t look like it, you are even worse than me." Lin Mei walked toward Jia Hao as she spoke.


    " Oh, really?"


    Seeing the re of Jia Hao, Lin Mei felt a strike of fear in her heart. It was as if cold hands slowly grasping her heart and squeezing it.


    " I¡­I was just joking. I was saying¡­Your n was effective." Lin Mei stammered as she answered.


    " Well, That''s something I know." Jia Hao smiled as he stopped using his seed of desire and the effect of Fear on Lin Mei vanished, making her gasp for breath.


    '' Wh-What just happened? Why did I feel such a fear from Jia Hao?''Although Lin Mei was confused, she didn''t raise her voice.


    " Ah, Yes¡­About the party, will youe?" Lin Mei asked to Jia Hao.


    " Is that a way to invite your boyfriend?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    Although his voice was low, many students heard him, making them gasp in shock.


    Demon Queen Lin Mei got a boyfriend? And it''s Jia Hao?


    " I¡­Ahem¡­ Jia Hao, My dad arranged a party this evening and many important figures of Eastern Sea City areing there. I hope you can apany me to the party."


    Lin Mei gritted her teeth as she readjusted her sentence. " Now, That''s some proper invitation." Jia Hao nodded. " So, Can we go directly after the school?"


    " As you wish." Lin Mei nodded.


    Sitting back in her chair, Lin Mei bit her lips as she kept looking at Jia Hao. One day ago, she was plotting against him. And Within just one day, she had to act like his submissive girlfriend.


    '' Damn it, I really don''t like this.'' Lin Mei sighed. '' But that bastard is too cunning. I simply don''t have any way to resist him.'' She mmed her face on the desk as the time slowly passed. Since it was Saturday, the school ended during the lunch break. Su Xing''er was surprised when she heard Jia Hao wasn''t returning with her.


    " You are going with Lin Mei?" Su Xing''er was surprised. " Huh? I thought you guys had some bad blood between you. Cheng Guo went after you because of her, right?"


    " Well, Kinda?" Jia Hao chuckled. " But let''s say¡­Now she wants to apologize to me. And therefore, she is taking me to the party in her house."


    " Are you sure that bitch isn''t scheming anything?"


    " Even she is a bitch, I have my ways to tame her." Jia Hao chuckled. " Just say to aunt that I am not returning early, alright?"


    " Fine."


    " Ah, So, you are Su Xing''er, right?" Lin Mei walked towards her as she spoke. " I heard you and Jia Hao are like siblings."


    " Wh-Who said that?" Su Xing''er was baffled as she retorted angrily.


    " What? You don''t know? I guess you aren''t active in ss forum, eh?" Lin Mei shrugged.


    " Anyway, I am going. Jia Hao, are youing with me?"


    " Sure." Jia Hao nodded as he followed Lin Mei.


    However, Su Xing''er''s face stiffened as she felt a surge of sourness in her heart. ''Fuck! We aren''t siblings! We aren''t even rted by blood!''


    '' Which bastard is spreading these rumors?!''

 Chapter 46 Punishment? I like it

    46 Punishment? I like it


    " Which bastard is spreading these rumors?" Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei as he asked.


    " You don''t know?" Lin Mei pushed a lock of hair from her face as she fiddled with her phone.


    " It was Zhu Shuo. He is the leader of the school''s basketball team. You know, he is the admirer of Su Xing''er?"


    " Besides, I heard you are living together with Su Xing''er and Su Lan. Don''t tell me you are not?"Lin Mei looked at him.


    " We are not." Jia Hao replied.


    " Anyway, care to tell me why are youing with me?" Lin Mei rolled her eyes. " Like¡­The party starts in the evening, doesn''t it? There are few hours till then."


    " Haah? Are you saying you can''t spend time with your boyfriend?" Jia Hao snorted lightly. " Lin Mei, How can you be so heartless, hm? I guess you need a little punishment."


    " Pun-punishment?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao with a wide gaze. " What are you talking about?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Oh, Don''t worry about that. You will know soon." Jia Hao grinned. " Driver, take us to the shopping district."


    " Yes?"


    The driver turned around and heard Jia Hao. But he still looked at Lin Mei for confirmation.


    " Shopping? You want to go shopping with me?" Lin Mei was again surprised.She was even more baffled because she originally wanted to go to shopping. However, when Jia Hao joined her, she thought she would drop him somewhere else and go to shopping afterward.


    However, Jia Hao intercepted her n as if he knew she was going to shop.


    " Why? I thought you like shopping."


    " I like it! But¡­Uggh! Fine!"


    Lin Mei shouted." We shall go to the shopping mall! Are you happy now?"


    " Of course¡­"


    Entering the shopping mall, Jia Hao followed Lin Mei to purchase clothes. '' This bastard¡­Why is he so good in women''s fashion?'' Lin Mei bit her nails when she saw the suggestions of Jia Hao for her evening dress in the party.


    Jia Hao could see that Lin Mei liked taht green dress particrly. " Hmm, I guess you won''t like it. But, I shall purchase it for Sister Su Lan¡­"


    " Wait!" Lin Mei hurried as she snatched the dress from Jia Hao''s hand. " We are shopping for Ourselves. This dress¡­Is ok. And¡­I might wear it in the evening since you put so much thought in it."


    " Oh, How ttered I am. But you know, we didn''t buy the most important thing." Jia Hao spoke with a smirk.


    " What? What do you want to buy more?" Lin Mei was baffled. After all, Jia Hao already purchased more than five clothes.


    Seeing Jia Hao was eager, Lin Mei didn''t stop her. However, she regretted it instantly when she saw where Jia Hao led her.


    " We are not going to purchase lingerie! I repeat we are not¡­"


    " Who¡­Asked?"


    Jia Hao held Lin Mei''s wrist, grabbed a few undergarments, and walked into the changing room.


    Since it was a luxury brand, the changing room was pretty spacious with all four walls attached with mirrors. " Fuck! Why you came with me? What if someone sees us?" Lin Mei panicked as she tried to push Jia Hao outside.


    " Nuh uh. You are going to change right before me." Jia Hao replied without hesitation.


    " Wh-What if there are any cameras? What if we get caught."


    " Well, No worries. No one going to disturb us as I already paid a tip to that female worker outside." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Now, Strip."


    " What?!"


    " I said¡­Strip!"


    Lin Mei felt her hearts beating out from her chest when she heard the order of Jia Hao. She gritted her teeth as she looked at Jia Hao with anger and hate. Yet her hands moved fluidlly, taking off her school uniform.


    " Not bad, You wore white today, huh?" Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Lin Mei. With her white undergarment, with her flushed face like an apple, she looked more cute than charming.


    " Ba-Bastard! You are a real bastard!" " Not quite sweet mouth, are you?" Jia Hao snickered. " So, Shall we try the ck garterbelt or thiscy thong first, hm?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    " So, Thongs first, huh?"


    Tears well in Lin Mei''s eyes as she slowly took off her white undergarment and put on the ck thongs before Jia Hao.


    As she wore one back, she looked at Jia Hao. But he remained silent, making her feel ufortable.


    " What? Am I not looking good?" Lin Mei asked.


    " What? Are you asking me?" Jia Hai grinned as he walked forward, making Lin Mei take step back till her back pressed against the cold surface of mirror.


    " I thought you hated that I gazed at you while changing."


    " yes, I hated it." Lin Mei spoke. " B-But¡­Since you already watched the show, shouldn''t you say anything about it?"


    " You look very sexy." Jia Hao caressed her hair. " Just grow your hair a little longer and you would look even better."


    " Is that so?"


    Lin Mei''s heart was beating faster and faster as she felt Jia Hao''s warm breath on her neck. Suddenly, she felt her heart skipped a beat as Jia Hao kissed her.


    " Mmnngh¡­"


    Their tongues entangled as Lin Mei felt Jia Hao was ying with her tongue in a skillful way. The thrill of kissing while being in public, Lin Mei felt the excitement making her brain numb.


    " Your heart is beating so fast, hm?" Jia Hao grinned as pulled down her bra, making her jade rabbits jump out. " How about I calm them down a bit?"


    " Uwahh!~"


    Lin Mei moaned as she felt the peak of her mountain suddenly get mped by Jia Hao''s lips. His tongue was like a feathery whip,shing against her erect buds.


    " Hehe, Are you liking your punishment, Lin Mei?" Jia Hao grinned as he looked at her flushed expression, only to such her nipples back.


    " Ahhnn!~ It feels so¡­Nnghhh! Noo!~"


    Lin Mei whimpered as her legs mped down, making her body quiver like crazy. After a while, Jia Hao ceased his teasings and made Lin Mei part her legs.


    " Tut tut¡­ You didn''t even pay for the undergarment yet already soaked it with your dirty juices¡­" Jia Hao grinned as her finger traced the wet patch, making Lin Mei big her lips in shame and anger.


    " Yo-You! What have you done to me? How-How can I do that?"


    " How should I know?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Maybe I simply awakened a new fetish inside you?"


    " But you know what? You can''t now take it off¡­" He grinned. " Do you want to show them a soaked underwear?"


    " It felt good."


    " What?" It was Jia Hao''s time to stump. " What did you say?"


    " Ahem¡­I said¡­ I won''t yell at you again." Lin Mei looked away and gazed at her own reflection.


    However, her breath hitched as she felt a nip on her neck, making her shiver.


    " Well¡­ I am not that controlling. You can yell at me for the right reasons. But if you yell for the wrong reasons¡­Let''s just say I have a lot of punishment nned for you."


    " Hmph, Pervert!"


    Pushing Jia Hao aside, Lin Mei started to wear the new green dress Jia Hao picked for her.


    " We don''t have any time, Dimwit. Let''s just get ready here and go straight to the party." Lin Mei grumbled.


    " Also¡­Help me to put my dress on." " Alright, As you say¡­"


    " Hey! I told you to put on my dress¡­No-Not my boobs again! Ahhh!~"


    Taking a look outside, Jia Hao walked out hurriedly. After some minutes, Lin Mei came out of the changing room.


    '' Oh yes, That''s why I love the world of eroge.'' Jia Hao cackled as she saw Lin Mei looking around, to find if anyone caught them.


    Naturally, Jia Hao made sure that they wouldn''t get caught. Not to mention, in the world of eroge, weird things happen more naturally than natural things.


    '' You know the logic, right? Even if I start to p Lin Mei inside, no one would have noticed anyway.''


    '' Alright, I need to calm down¡­This bulge is making me ufortable to walk.'' Jia Hao took deep breaths.


    " Anyway, I should get ready too. If my memory is correct¡­ That bastard might alsoe to the party."

 Chapter 47 Party Begins

    47 Party Begins


    It was evening and the mansion of the Lin Family was already decorated. Important people from all the Eastern Sea City came to the party.


    " Haha, Mr. Lin, you really made a big turnover this year. Congrattions."


    " Oh, It''s nothing, Mr. Zhu. What am I aiming is to get thend near the Northern Hills."


    " Hoho, Quite ambitious I see. But, It won''t be easy to win the auction."


    " That''s why I need your support."


    Suddenly, The man''s gaze shone as he looked at the entrance.


    " Father, I am here."


    " Oh, My sweetie! You are finally here!"


    No matter how cold and cunning Lin Cheng could be, he always had a soft spot for his daughter, Lin Mei.


    " I heard you got the fifth position in yesterday''s test. Yet you didn''t inform me?"


    " Why would I?" Lin Mei spoke in an air of pleasure and arrogance. "It''s just fifth position, what''s so big about it?"


    " Hahah! Good! I guess it''s my fault for belittling my daughter''s ability." Li Cheng rubbed under his nose.


    " Anyway, This boy¡­"


    " Greetings, Mr. Lin, I am Jia Hao, a friend of Lin Mei." Jia Hao wore a ck suit, perfectly matching Lin Mei''s long flowing green dress.


    " Uh, Yes. Dad, he is the one who helped me to secure fifth position during the test."


    " Haha! I see. So you are the one who is helping my daughter in her study, eh?"


    Lin Cheng was surprised for a moment beforeughing lightly.


    " Xiao Hao, I hope you can help my daughter even more. It''s truly my wish to see her pass the University Exam in flying colors."


    " Of course, How can I not help Lin Mei? She loves my help at all."


    Hearing Jia Hao''s words with a hidden undertone, Lin Mei''s face turned red. Of course, she knew Jia Hao would do everything with her other than helping her in the study.


    " Oh my, Is that Lin Mei? She is looking so pretty."


    " Who is that boy next to him? He is also looking pretty handsome."


    " Jia Hao,e with me¡­I will introduce you to some others."Lin Mei held Jia Hao and led her away, making him introduce to some of her friends.


    All of them were shocked when they saw Lin Mei introducing a boy.


    " Wow, To think Lin Mei would introduce a boy to u s."


    " Hehe, What happebned, Mei? Have you finally fallen in love?"


    " Love? Hmph, Why do you care?" Lin Mei blushed as she snorted. " We are just friends."


    " Yeah, Just friends."


    " Don''t worry, we won''t taint your friendship."


    Lin Mei bit her lips in indignation when no one believed her.Meanwhile, Jia Hao easily talked with other guests attending the party.


    Even those who were officers of high rank or businessmen couldn''t help but get intrigued by the eloquency of Jia Hao.


    Lin Cheng naturally noticed that from afar as he couldn''t help but get curious also.


    '' Not bad, He does have some abilities. But what if he is trying tr trap my sweetie?''


    '' Should I do a background check on him?''


    " Huh? Hao''er?"


    Jia Hao turned around and saw it was none other than Su Yunqi


    " Aunt Su, You are also here?" Jia Hao was a bit surprised. '' Eh? I thought she rarely came to such parties like that. I wasn''t expecting her here though?'' He thought inwardly.


    " Of course, I thought it would be too bad if I decline Mr Lin Cheng''s invitation." Su Yunqi smiled lightly.


    " But what are you doing here?"


    " Hoho, I didn''t thought Xiao Hao is the nephew of Miss Su." Lin Cheng walked forward as heughed lightly.


    " Ah, You know Hao''er, Mr Lin?" Su Yunqi asked with a strange voice.


    " He is the friend of my daughter and she invited him here. He also helped her in study."


    " Ah, Then it''s good. Hao''er is pretty talented child indeed." Su Yunqiughed lightly as she gently caressed his head.


    " You got a pretty aunt, Xiao Hao. She is one of the leading businesswomen in Eastern Sea City." Lin Cheng chuckled.


    " Well, I am ttered. However, it falls palepared to Mr. Lin''s influence." Su Yunqi replied politely.


    " Hoho, How amusing. I didn''t expect to see Miss Su here."


    Jia Hao''s expression twitched violently when he saw the new person.


    Lin Cheng looked at Li Tao and nodded. " Your Qingzhu Jewery made quite some profit, eh?"


    " Not quite as Blue Stone Company of Miss Su." Li Tao smiled as he looked at Su Yunqi. " She really got her hands on some high quality jades. Those jades are probably going to the best jades of this season across the Tianshu Nation."


    " Oh, Mr. Li, You are overpraising me. Let''s just say¡­I really had a good appraiser with me." Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao and winked, making Jia Hao amused.


    " Ah, We shouldn''t just get all focused in business here. I hope you enjoy this party." Lin Cheng turned around and left.


    " This¡­fuck!"


    22:26


    Li Tao grumbled as he got up.


    " Haha, Miss Su, How about we go and talk about a new deal?"


    " Mr. Li, I have already told you that I might not do any more deal with you. As for the ten million yuan, I already paid it back." Su Yunqi spoke in a t voice.


    " Ah, Miss Su, You are making this awkward for me. How there could be things like debt between our groups?" Li Tao grinned.


    " However, I have a deal which you might show some interest. After all, if it''s sessful, the yield might be over three hundred million Yuan."


    " That''s quite a lot." Su Yunqi was surprised. " Well, If you say so¡­"


    " Haha, I knew it. Miss Su truly knows where she can profit the most." Li Tao chuckled as he showed Su Yunqi the way.


    Jia Hao didn''t stopped him, but a cold grin appeared on


    " Here, We can talk in the private room." Li Tao led Su Yunqi inside the room.


    " Waiter, Two drinks, Please. A red wine for madam and a ss of scotch for me."


    " Ah, No, I won''t drink." Su Yunqi shook her head. Li Tao nodded. " Then, How about a little spiciy Lime Soda?"


    " Erm¡­That should be fine." Su Yunqi nodded.


    " So, I would like to purchase some jade pieces you recently got, Miss Su."


    " Oh? If you want to simply buy, we can negotiate on the price." Su Yunqi nodded. Soon, the waiter arrived with the drinks. However, as Su Yunqi raised the ss, a waiter came inside the room once again.


    " Mr. Li, Mr. Lin Cheng is looking for you."


    " What?" Li Tao''s expression twitched when he heard that. " I am a little busy here, you see?"


    " Mr. Lin said it''s urgent."


    " This¡­fuck!"


    Li Tao grumbled as he got up.


    " Miss Su, I hope you please wait for me. We can share drink afterwards, no?"


    " Sure, Mr. Li." Su Yunqi nodded as she saw Li Tao leaving. However, when he left, Jia Hao entered swiftly inside.


    " Aunt Su, Don''t drink that."

 Chapter 48 Aunt Su Helping To Calm Urges

    48 Aunt Su Helping To Calm Urges


    " Huh? Hao''er?"


    Su Yunqi was surprised when she saw Jia Hao took the ss from her hands.


    " You shouldn''t take drink from suspicious people, Aunt Su." Jia Hao grinned. " Especially not from those who are your enemies."


    " Well? Although Li Tao and I have some skimerishes, I don''t think he would poison me in a ce like this?"


    " Hehe, Is taht so?" Jia Hao chuckled as he took a sip of the drink. " Then let me check it."


    " Wait, Hao''er¡­"


    Su Yunqi felt a strange fear in her heart when she saw Jia Haoa taking a sip from her drink. Although she said that the drink won''t have any problems, Su Yunqi had a bad feeling after getting warned by Jia Hao.


    " Well, No strange vor except the lemon." Jia Hao nodded as he ced the ss on the table.


    " See? I told you." Su Yunqi shrugged as she sighed in relief. However, suddenly, her expression changed when she saw Jia Hao''s legs trembling. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " This¡­Aunt Su, Is this just Lemon Soda?" Jia Hao suddenly swayed as he sat on the chair with heavy movements.


    " Hao''er! Are you alright?" Su Yunqi became concerned. " What''s happening? Lemon Soda shouldn''t have such an effect on you."


    " Ugh¡­ I am feeling Aunt Su¡­It''s like, my whole body is slowly getting hot." Jia Hao panted as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. Su Yunqi hurried and went to close the door of the room. " Hao''er, Let me fetch some water for you." Su Yunqi poured some water into a ss and asked Jia Hao to drink it.


    " Aunt Su¡­It''s¡­It''s feeling so weird." Jia Hao drank the entire ss of water in one go.


    " Weird? What do you feeling, Hao''er?"


    " It''s hot and¡­ Ugh¡­It''s aching¡­ down there." Jia Hao turned around as if he was trying to hide something.


    " What is it, Hao''er? You don''t need to shy away from me." Su Yunqi heldJia Hao''s shoulder from behind as she tried to calm him down.


    When Jia Hao turned around, Su Yunqi saw his cheeks were already red. However, what made herpletely flustered was the huge bulge in his pants.


    " Um¡­That¡­"


    " See, I told you, Aunt Su." Jia Hao tried to struggle from her grasp. " I just feel¡­Horny and aroused."


    " Hah, I guess I was¡­right. That bastard must have¡­drugged the drink." Jia Hao wiped his sweat as he walked around the room in a rapid pace.


    " Thank god¡­I only took a sip. But it''s still¡­burning¡­Ugh."


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Yunqi clenched her fist as she felt ashamed. '' Damn it! Why I couldn''t see through that bastard Li Tao? Because of me, Hao''er is suffering!''


    '' He helped me back in auction and he still helped me again. Yet, What am I doing?''


    " Aunt Su¡­Let me use the bathroom." Jia Hao spoke as he walked to the nearby washroom. However, the door wasn''t fully closed, making Su Yunqi wonder what Jia Hao going to do.


    '' What kind of drug did Li Tao put in my drink? Sedative? Although Jia Hao was feeling lethargic, he was also feeling a strong heat. What it could be¡­''


    " Hao''er, Are you alright?"


    " I am fine¡­Just leave me¡­Alone for a moment."


    Su Yunqi felt a bit curious as she could imagine what Jia Hao could be doing. However, she still walked toward the washroom and opened the door a bit.


    However, when she opened the door, her face turned red like a tomato.


    " Hahh! Hahh!"


    Standingpletely naked, Jia Hao was panting deeply as his right hand kept stroking him. It was as if he didn''t know Su Yunqi was watching, making him focus on his jerking.


    Jia Hao''s body was covered with sweat, full of well defined muscles.


    He didn''t look buff, but his entire body was handsomely sculpted, making him look like a young celebrity.


    " Haah! Haaahh! Why¡­Why it''s noting off." Jia Hao gave a low grunt.


    Su Yunqi felt her heart thumping like a jumping fawn, making her legs slowly turn into jelly. Seeing Jia Hao like that, she felt a strange sensation, which she had felt subtly many times over the years, but not this violently.


    The feeling of arousal...The me of lust.


    '' Hao''er¡­Is he trying to masturbate? But¡­It''s clearly not working.''


    '' I see! It must be aphrodisiac! That bastard Li Tao!'' '' No, I should focus on Hao''er for now. I should do my best to help him.''


    Taking a deep breath, Su Yunqi could feel the bubbling emotions in her heart.


    " Au-Aunt Su?!"


    Jia Hao turned around as he gasped, hurriedly trying to hide his already hardened little brother. However, his hand was simply unable to hide it at all.


    " Aunt Su¡­I¡­I don''t know¡­I just wanted to¡­"


    " No need to say anything." Su Yunqi''s voice was calm as she walked toward Jia Hao.


    " I understand how are you feeling Hao''er. And¡­I should help you."


    " Aunt Su¡­.This¡­"


    Jia Hao flushed as he struggled a bit. But the gentle caressing of Su Yunqi slowly calmed him down. " It''s just¡­Hurting so much¡­ I can''t¡­ Help myself."


    " It''s alright. You need to stroke it slowly."


    Su Yunqi felt her mouth turning sticky as sheremoved Jia Hao''s palm from his crotch,pletly looking at the erect pir between his legs.


    As her finger gently traced Jia Hao''s shaft, Su Yunqi could feel the vigorous throbs with the veins pulsing around it.


    '' This¡­This is so big and stiff. I¡­ I never thought a young boy like him possessed such asset.''


    '' No! Yunqi! What are you thinking? He is someone like your son!''


    '' But still¡­Is he still a boy? He is so well endowed. Jia Hao¡­He could be called as a perfect man¡­''


    '' No! I am just here to help him! No weird thoughts! No weird thoughts!''


    " Just hold it gently¡­And slowly stroke it. Think about something erotic¡­Something sensual." Su Yunqi spoke as she stroked Jia Hao''s manhood slowly but sensually.


    She could feel the throbbing getting more and more intense, as her hands moved faster.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao hugged Su Yunqi as their face came very close. Su Yunqi''s mind buzzed as she tried to back off, but she couldn''t.


    " Aunt Su¡­ You are so¡­Beautiful."


    " Hao''er¡­I¡­"


    Suddenly, Jia Hao leaned forward and kissed Su Yunqi. Su Yunqi was stunned, but she didn''t stop Jia Hao.


    Suddenly, her hand was covered with thick white fluid as Jia Hao ejacted a copious amount, some falling on her dress.


    As their lips parted, Jia Hao seemed to be weak, falling on Su Yunqi''s shoulder.


    " It''s alright¡­It''s¡­Alright¡­" Su Yunqi caressed his head as she mumbled.


    But subconsciously, she licked her lips, tasting the aftertaste of Jia Hao''s lips.


    Meanwhile, a grin spread across the seemingly unconscious Jia Hao.


    '' All ording to keikaku.''

 Chapter 49 Appraising A Treasure

    Chapter 49 Appraising A Treasure


    Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This was the perfect proverb for the current situation. And Jia Hao was the oriole.


    Li Tao thought his n was perfect. However, he never thought it was long seen by Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes and he even made a counter n for it.


    The moment Jia Hao saw Li Tao taking Su Yunqi inside the room, he went to Lin Mei.


    " What? You want me to ask my dad to keep Li Tao upied?" Lin Mei was baffled when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    " See? Not that hard request. I am sure you can do this." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " And, Can I know the reason?"


    " No."


    " What a bastard." Lin Mei snorted as she turned around. " I will message you when it happens."


    " That''s my girlfriend. How meticulous."


    " Bah! Whois your girlfriend!" Lin Mei blushed as she hurried and walked away.


    After the work is done, Jia Hao went to Su Yunqi and stopped her from drinking her drink.


    In fact, the drink had no aphrodisiac, just sedative. And, Jia Hao didn''t drank it either.


    He simply pretended to taking a sip and used the ability of Pot of Miracle to store that sip of juice.


    And after that, he put an oscar worthy performance about how he got drugged by an aphrodisiac.


    Guess what? His n worked the exact way he wanted. Jia Hao couldn''t help but thank Li Tao. Originally, the developement between Su Yunqi and Jia Hao would have taken a lot of time.


    But thanks to this event, a seed of confusion has been nted in Su Yunqi''s heart.


    And, Jia Hao took another step to capturing thedies of Su Family Manor.


    .


    .


    Li Tao''s face twitched violently, but he maintained the smile on his face.


    " Haha, It''s good that Mr. Li joined us here. How about this painting, Mr. Li? I wonder if you can say something about it." Lin Cheng smiled as he looked at Li Tao.


    " Ah, This painting looks like painting of Mr. Marcello, How rare." Li Tao smiled. " I guess Mr. Lin has eyes for art."


    " But, I think I have some work¡­"


    " Why be hasty, Mr Li?" Lin Cheng''s smile became wide. " Apany me, A lot of people here would like to discuss art with you."


    " Yo-You¡­"


    Li Tao clenched his fist, but he was helpless. He can''t just storm away and get back to Su Yunqi.


    '' Hmph, Even she drank the soda, she would be lying unconscious there. My men are already around that room¡­So, I don''t need to fear, right?''


    However, soon¡­He regretted it.


    Li Tao suddenly got a phone call and he picked it up.


    " What? Su Yunqi walked out of the room with her nephew?" Li Tao''s expression changed. " Hurry up and check inside the room!"


    And then, he got the bad news.


    " Boss, The the Lemon Soda ss is shattered on the ground. It looks like someone threw it out of rage."


    " And, judging from the expression of Su Yunqi, I don''t think she was happy." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Li Tao''s face turned pale when he heard that. " Fuck! Fuck this shit!"


    '' That dumb bitch¡­Did she realized? But how?''


    '' Fuck! Fuck this Lin Cheng! He ruined all my good n!''


    .


    .


    " Hao''er¡­We can leave now¡­If you wish¡­" Su Yunqi spoke in a low voice, not looking at Jia Hao at all.


    " I¡­ I am fine, Aunt Su." Jia Hao turned around as if he was feeling guilty and ashamed. Seeing him like that, Su Yunqi felt even more awkward.


    '' He¡­He even said I love you, Aunt Suwhile kissing me. Was it because of drugs? Or¡­''


    '' No! How is that possible?''


    " Aunt Su, This party is filled with a lot of opportunities. Since you and Li Tao are already enemies, you should find yourself some strong allies."


    " That bastard¡­Don''t worry about him, Aunt Su. I will make sure he will never harass you again."


    Hearing Jia Hao''s determined words, Su Yunqi felt a gush of warmth in his heart. " Alright, Hao''er, I will do as you say." Su Yunqi spoke with a light smile. However, Jia Hao only nodded and walked away.


    " Enjoy the party more, Aunt Su¡­You should be rxing at this party. Make some connection and¡­Forget what happened earlier."


    " You too, Hao''er."


    Sun Yunqi saw Jia Hao walking away with a heavy heart.


    Thinking about Li Tao once again, mes of anger burned in her eyes.


    " Li Tao, You have crossed the line this time. I will not forgive you."


    " Let''s see who is going to win this time."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Well, I should thank you, Lin Mei. You did a good job." Jia Hao smiled as he looked at her.


    " Hmph, At least you admitted it." Lin Mei turned around and spoke in a light voice. But her lips curled upward.


    But when she turned around, she saw Jia Hao already vanished.


    " This bastard! Where did he go?" Lin Mei felt frustrated as she looked around.


    " Hoho, I didn''t know young people these days also knew about antiques." The old man smiled amicably as he turned around, looking at Jia Hao.


    After all, she thought Jia Hao would give her a few more rounds of praise.


    However, Jia Hao walked toward an old man who was wearing a traditional robe and looking at small pottery showcased inside a ss cube.


    " The Seven Grass Vase of early Qing Dynasty. The distinct feature of seven grasses on the body of the vase." Jia Hao spoke as he stood right beside that man.


    " Hoho, I didn''t know young people these days also knew about antiques." The old man smiled amicably as he turned around, looking at Jia Hao.


    " Well then, What else do you know about this pot?"


    " Well, This is a perfect replica. How unfortunate that it''s fake." Jia Hao sighed.


    " Oh? You are telling me it''s fake?" The old man was surprised. " How did you know?"


    " Because of the seven leaf design on the handle. Many people think there should be seven des of grass on the handle like the body of the grass."


    " However, The real one had only four des to dictate four directions, not seven." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Hahaha! Good! Very good." The old manughed. " Young Man, What is your name?"


    " This humble one is Jia Hao." Jia Hao smiled. " Do you know me?"


    " How can I not know Mr.Chen Mo, The chairman of Tianguang Hall? In the Eastern Sea City''s antique market, you are a prominent figure." Jia Hao spoke with eloquence.


    " Not bad, You are such a sharp minded child."Chen Mo smiled. " Well, Judging from your attitude, you aren''t here to appreciate antiques with this old man."


    " Elder Chen is wise. I doe here for some selfish reason." Jia Haoughed lightly. " I have something that only a person with a lot of experience can appraise."


    " And I wonder if Elder Chen can do this for me?"


    " Hoho, I wonder what is it, little friend?"


    Chen Mo became curious when he heard Jia Hao. He wondered what sort of treasure Jia Hao wanted to get appraised.


    '' Hmm, I have seen so many treasures in my life. I wonder if I am going to see something new?''


    '' Haha, I doubt it. Let''s see what this little guy got for me.'' However, when Jia Hao took out the thing and passed it to Chen Mo, Chen Mo''s expression changed drastically.

 Chapter 50 True Value of The Lion Statue

    Chapter 50 True Value of The Lion Statue


    It was none other than the Buddhist lion statue that Jia Hao got from the Cai Family''s treasury.


    At first, Chen Mo thought it was just a crudely made Buddhist treasure, However, when he touched that, he could feel the delicately crafted mane of the lion, feeling its sharp and noble gaze.


    '' This looks like an imperial seal, but there is no seal below the base. It looks like a figurine which is kept in an auspicious location.''


    '' But the thing is¡­Why do I feel a gush offorting warm the moment I held it? It''s not a hallucination. Also¡­The violet sheen on it¡­''


    '' No! This can''t be what am I thinking?!''


    Chen Mo''s expression changed as he thought of a possibility, making his hands tremble from excitement. " Little friend Jia, Would you like toe with me? I want to make some confirmations before I give my appraisal."


    " Uh, Sure, Elder Chen. I would also like to see the authenticity of this item." Jia Hao was surprised as he nodded.


    However, It was as if Chen Mo''s elderly body was rejuvenated by a youthful vigor. Holding the figurine, he rushed straight to where Lin Cheng was talking with others.


    " Ah, Elder Chen, You are here." Lin Cheng cupped his fist with respect. However, Chen Mo didn''t mind it as he waved his hands. " Lin Cheng, Can you bring me rose water, sandalwood water, and Qinghai Green Tea?"


    " Yes?"


    Lin Cheng and others were stunned when they heard the sudden request of Chen Mo. They knew Chen Mo was one of the most respected appraisers of the entire Tianshu Nation.


    Therefore, thinking this was a chance, Lin Cheng nodded hurriedly. " Elder Chen, Wait for a moment. I shall ask my men to bring them here."


    " Yes, Thank you for helping me. I apologize for asking you so suddenly."


    " No, It''s fine, Elder Chen." Lin Cheng hurriedly shook his head. " After all, I believe since you are in such a hurry, the matter must be something of great importance."


    Li Tao was also there as he looked at Chen Mo with surprise. He wondered why a kind and amicable old man like Chen Mo was so excited right now.


    '' What happened? Did he discover some treasures? If that''s the case¡­"


    As Li Tao was mused in his thoughts, the men of Lin Cheng arrived with the items requested by Chen Mo.


    " Other than Lin Cheng and Little Jia, Please everyone leave this room." Chen Mo added, making Li Tao''s expression twitch.


    " Elder Chen, Shouldn''t you also let us look at your discovery?" Li Tao spoke with a forced smile.


    " I will announce the result after I confirm it myself." Chen Mo spoke coolly.


    " Now, If you please¡­.Give us some space."


    Although his space was twisted like a dough, Li Tao left the room with other people. However, before going, he felt a cold gaze from Jia Hao, making him surprised.


    '' That brat¡­Isn''t he the nephew of Su Yunqi? Why is he¡­Looking at me like that?''


    '' Could it¡­He knew about my n?''


    '' No, How can a brat like him do that?'' Li Tao shook his head as he left.


    '' But I wonder why Chen Mo kept him beside Lin Cheng? What is the thing he wanted to appraise?''


    " Elder Chen, Everyone has left. Can you show me what you want to do?" Lin Cheng asked with a polite smile as he looked at Chen Mo. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    However, Chen Mo simply ced the lion figurine on the table and took out the three liquids. First, he poured sandalwood oil on it then rose water to wash the figurine.


    After that, he slowly poured the lukewarm Qinghai Tea from a ceramic pot.


    Jia Hao was also surprised when he saw Chen Mo doing that. Although he received basic information about the statue from the Sage''s Divine Eyes, his knowledge is only limited to that.


    But the moment he poured the warm tea on the statue, the statue glowed with a faint light mixed with golden and violet as a light wisp of violet smoke rose.


    The smoke was very fragrant, but it didn''t smell like rose water or sandalwood. However, the fragrance was pleasant, making someone feel calm and rxed.


    Chen Mo''s body trembled as he almost knelt before it. " I¡­I never thought I would see this legendary thing. To think such treasure of heaven and earth actually exists."


    " This¡­What is this, Elder Chen? This statue looks so¡­Fascinating." Lin Cheng couldn''t help but ask.


    " This¡­This is the phenomenon¡­The auspicious violet air covers the treasure. This statue¡­it''s an authentic treasure of ancient."


    " Treasure of ancient?" Jia Hao asked with surprise.


    " The essence of gold is also known as the Treasured Gold, which is extremely rare like Imperial Jade. Even a gram of it can cost an astronomical sum of money."


    " Hmm, How should I say? You can say it''s a true antique, a treasure which possesses some supernatural power."


    " This¡­This statue, It''s filled with intense Yang energy. And the material¡­I think it''s the legendary gold essence which only can be found in the deepest and oldest gold mines."


    " The essence of gold is also known as the Treasured Gold, which is extremely rare like Imperial Jade. Even a gram of it can cost an astronomical sum of money."


    " However, this statue¡­It''s made with more 500gms of Treasure Gold. This is simply too¡­precious." Chen Mo sighed.


    " Never in my life thought I would see such a treasure. Little Jia is so lucky to have this."


    " I see, Elder Chen. I guess then it''s a legitimate item." Jia Hao smiled as he took the statue back.


    " As you said, It is filled with intense Yang energy and gotten from a forgotten Buddhist monastery. It also has evil repelling abilities which can be used to fengshui inside a house."


    " Haha, Indeed! Such treasure can bring unexpected luck and drive away evil from a household." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.


    Lin Cheng was surprised when he heard the conversation. " Little Jia, Since you are a friend of my daughter, I would be frank. Would you sell this to me?"


    " Hoho, Lin Cheng, Do you want to buy it?" Chen Mo chuckled. " How much do you think you can pay for it?"


    " Ten million?" Lin Cheng was surprised. " How about thirty million?"


    Jia Hao shook his head. " Uncle Lin, It''s not like I don''t want to sell you this. But¡­How about we let Elder Chen appraise the value of this treasure?"


    " Well, Then what do you say, Elder Chen? I am very attracted to this piece of statue." Lin Cheng looked at Chen Mo.


    " Well, Its price can easily cross a hundred million Yuan." Chen Mo smiled.


    " What? A hundred million?" Lin Cheng couldn''t help but take a breath of cold air.


    " In fact, There is one of my friends so urgently requires such treasure. How about I ask him to meet you, Little Jia?" Chen Mo smiled.


    " As you wish, Elder Chen. I haveplete faith in you. I hope you won''t disappoint me." Jia Hao smiled as he took the statue with him.


    " And, Uncle Lin, Don''t be too sad. I might have some other treasures that are made from Treasured Gold. So, Would you like them?"


    " What? You do?" Lin Cheng became happy instantly. " Very well, Xiao Hao. I won''t hesitate to buy if it''s a cheaper and genuine piece."


    " However, I don''t need money, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao''s smile slowly turned into a sly grin.


    " Elder Chen, Uncle Lin¡­Would you help me to take down a person?"

    51 Getting Caught During The Act


    " Ah, Hao''er, You are here." Aunt Su looked at Jia Hao as she walked towards her with a smile. " It''s alreadyte. Shall we go?"


    " Ah¡­Yes, Aunt Su." Jia Hao nodded as he followed her.


    " Hao''er, I saw you were talking with Elder Chen Mo?" Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao and asked. " Do you know him?"


    " I saw him on the news papers sometimes. He is pretty respected in the field of antiques and treasures." Jia Hao nodded.


    " Haha, I didn''t know you were interested in that field. Do you wish to go into that business after the school is over?" Su Yunqi asked with a smile. " If you want, I can arrange it for you. You know, your aunt has some connections."


    " I appreciate it, Aunt Su." Jia Hao smiled as he sat in her car. " However, it''s merely my hobby and I don''t intent to pursue it seriously."


    " Is that so?" Su Yunqi was surprised. " Then, What is your dream, Hao''er? What do you want to do in future?"


    " How about¡­Be an Emperor?" Jia Hao spoke with a grin. " A person with unparal power, unlimited wealth and surrounded by most beautiful women."


    Su Yunqi was stumped by Jia Hao''s words. After all, she wasn''t expecting such an answer.


    " Is that so? Hao''er aspirations are so big. Will you look after your poor aunt after you be the Emperor?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but smile.


    " Why not?" Jia Hao grinned. " How about I make Aunt Su as my empress?"


    '' This¡­"


    Su Yunqi''s cheek turned red instantly when she heard that. Bing the empress¡­Doesn''t that mean she will marry Jia Hao?


    '' This¡­What am I even thinking? Hao''er is like my own son!'' Su Yunqi hurriedly shook her head.


    " Aunt Su¡­Are you still¡­Anrgy with me?" Jia Hao spoke in a low voice, as if he was asking something taboo.


    " I mean¡­You didn''t have to¡­relieve me. I could have done it myself¡­"


    " Hao''er¡­Do you think I am angry or ashamed of what happened?" Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao.


    " You are not?"


    " Why would I?" Su Yunqi caressed his head as she drove the car.


    " Without you, I would have fallen into the trap of Li Tao and my body would have sullied by that bastard."


    " But¡­I still made your hands dirty, no?" Jia Hao mumbled.


    " Who said?" Su Yunqi smiled. " If it''s you¡­I won''t mind it."


    " Eh?"


    Seeing Jia Hao''s incredulous eyes, Su Yunqi''s face turned red. " I¡­I mean¡­ It was just helping you. No big deal, Hao''er."


    " However, You said you love me¡­ How much do you love me, Hao''er?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but tease him back.


    " I¡­ I love you a lot, Aunt Su." Jia Hao spoke in a low voice.


    " And what sort of love is that?"


    " Aunt Su! You are teasing me!"


    " Hahaha¡­"


    Su Yunqiughed brightly when she saw Jia Hao was flustered. Not long after, they finally reached home.


    The moment they stepped inside, Both of them heard the gentle tune of the piano.


    " Ah, Mother, You are back." Su Lan smiled when she saw Jia Hao and Su Yunqi.


    " Were you practicing your for thepetition tomorrow?" Su Yunqi smiled.


    " Yeah, and Sister Lan can y the song Raining Clouds and Boat so well." Su Xing''er pped as she praised Su Lan.


    " If everything goes well, no one will be able to stop Sister Lan."


    " Xing''er¡­I am not thinking about winning at all." Su Lan smiled. " All I want is to give my best in tomorrow''spetition. I want to give asting memory to my audience, something which they shall cherish."


    " Don''t worry, Big Sis Lan." Jia Hao smiled as he walked and sat beside her. " You will do exactly that."


    " Hehe, Thank you too, Hao''er." Su Lan smiled.


    " Actually, your Loving You All The Way was also too good. But I think I will y the Raining Clouds and Boat tomorrow."


    " No problem at all, Sister Su Lan." Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile. " It''s just a gift for you. And, I am d that you already learned how to y it."


    " Well, I hope you enjoyed the party, huh?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but look at Jia Hao with a pout.


    " What? Are you being jealous I went to a party without taking you?" Jia Hao grinned when she saw Su Xing''er. " Well? How about I take you out next time?"


    " You better do, Jia Hao."


    After a while, everyone returned to their room to sleep. As Jia Hao was rolling on the bed, there were many things running in his mind.


    '' Hmm, I think I should start searching for the sub quests to get various professions. After all, Tomorrow is an important event yet I don''t have any talent as a musician."


    '' Although I still have the memories of Kim Suhyung, without practice, I can''t do much. I need to have enough talent to beat that person and get the All Rounder Musician title.''


    In Urban Fantasy, a yer can do various sub quests to gain various professions. For example, there is a subquest which gives the yer the title of Cook.


    After getting that title, the cooking ability of the yer is enhanced, and making food for other NPC gives them extra favorability.


    However, for most people, it''s hard to find those ces as they are very well hidden. But for Jia Hao, he remembered every location of all sorts of professions.


    '' Hmm, Now I wonder¡­ Wasn''t there a way to speedrun seven-day task in Southern Edge Dojo? Maybe tomorrow, I should try it.'' As Jia Hao tried to sleep, he felt like he was getting thirsty.


    " Eh? No water?" Jia Hao yawned as he got out of his room. However, his ears perked as he heard some faint noise.


    " Tha-That''s from¡­Su Yunqi''s room?" Jia Hao was curious as he slowly walked toward her room.


    " Uhhngh¡­Husband¡­Touch me¡­More¡­ No¡­Not so fast¡­I want¡­More!~"


    Jia Hao peeked through the door crack. And the scene made him hardened instantly.


    Wearing sexy ck lingerie, Su Yunqi was quivering on the bed, with her fingers slowly teasing down there, making her moan softly.


    He wasn''t sure if Su Yunqi was doing this actively or if she was half asleep, but the scene was incredibly erotic for Jia Hao. With a smirk, Jia Hao chanted something as he pulled out some power from his seed of desire.


    With a flick, an invisible thread entered Su Yunqi''s body, making her gasp loudly.


    " Ahnnn!!~ Hao''er¡­Don''t¡­do¡­Do¡­More¡­Ahnn!~"


    Suddenly, her eyes snapped open as she whimpered, making the sheets beneath them soaked with her pleasure juice.


    " Haah¡­Hahh¡­It felt so¡­weird and¡­.rxing." Su Yunqi mumbled.


    However, her ears perked as she suddenly heard some hurried footsteps. Her expression changed as she got off the bed, feeling the door wasn''t as tight as she thought.


    '' The corridor is empty. However, I heard the sound¡­It was¡­Hao''er?''


    Su Yunqi rubbed her palm on her cheeks, feeling the burning shame and embarrassment, the fear of getting seen by Jia Hao.


    " No¡­It must be my hallucination. How¡­How can he be here?" Su Yunqi mumbled as she returned to her room and closed the door.


    However, the next morning, when she woke up, she saw Jia Hao already piled hisundry there. But, what caught her eyes were a pair of boxers stained with with dried white stuff. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Th-This¡­!!"

 Chapter 52 Music Tournament

    52 Music Tournament


    Su Yunqi got stumped for a moment as she kept standing there, holding Jia Hao''s boxers.


    Of course, she wasn''t a greenhorn and knew why the boxer was hardened like cardboard.


    '' So¡­He really saw mest night.'' Su Yunqi bit her lips as her face turned red from shame. Even after she tried to sleepst night, she couldn''t dream of Jia Hao, whose figure slowly ovepped with herte husband.


    Seeing his girthy masculinity just once, Su Yunqi felt the lust which she forcefully supressed after the death of her husband ignited once again.


    The body, the personality, the dominance, Jia Hao was way too simr to her husband¡­Even a bit better than him. The years of pent up frustration in Su Yunqi became a raging river suppressed by a fragile dam.


    And now¡­That dam seems to be unable to keep the river in check.


    '' This¡­This Hao''er¡­The scent¡­It feels so¡­natural.''


    With trembling hands, Su Yunqi slowly took the boxer closer to her nose. The scent made her feel light headed¡­mixing a lot of emotions in her heart.


    " Mom? What are you doing?"


    " Ahh!"


    Su Yunqi hurriedly threw the boxers back as she turned around, looking at Su Lan. " I was just¡­Throwingundry in the washing machine." Su Yunqi hid her blush as she started to put everything into washing machine.


    " Lan, You should get ready quickly." Su Yunqi spoke as she looked at her. " We shall depart in an hour."


    " I know, Mom." Su Lan grinned as she hugged Su Yunqi from behind. " You should be ready to see your daughter shine, alright?"


    " Haha, Of course, My dear." Su Yunqi replied back with excitement. " Mom is already preparing to receive the award on stage. Just beat everyone quickly and thoroughly, ok?"


    " Hehe¡­"


    As they all got ready, Su Xing''er yelled from the hall. " Jia Hao! Are you going to bezy?"


    " I aming, Xing''er. Just wait a bit."


    Suddenly, the Su Familydies'' expression turned wide when they saw Jia Haoing down from the stairs. Wearing an expensive coat, Jia Hao slowly came down from the stairs, adjusting his tie.


    22:09


    " Well, How do I look, hm?" He spoke with a radiant smile as he looked at them.


    Su Lan wore a blue colored gown with an expensive ne. Although she didn''t look very shy, she looked certainly perfect for her performance.


    Then Su Xing''er, who wore a red sweatshirt with shorts. With a cap on her head, she gave off a beautiful tomboyish aura.


    As for Su Yunqi? She wore an elegant ck dress, with bare minimum makeup. The long ck dress hugged each curve of her body, outlining it in a sexy way.


    " You sure going to be an audience of Sister Lan''s performance? Or are you all going for some sort of fashion show?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but jest.


    " All of you look so beautiful." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Su Lan hugged Jia Hao''s arm as she also smiled. " You are also looking pretty dashing, Jia Hao. I never thought your physique improved by so much."


    " Yeah, You''re kinda looking more¡­Muscr today." Su Xing''er spoke.


    " Alright, Enough of talking about his muscles." Su Yunqiughed as she slowly took everyone out. " Let''s go, else we will bete."


    Uncle He opened the door of the Benz and everyone sat inside. After that, he drove to the Great Sea Hall where the musicpetition was being held.


    It''s one of the majorpetitions across the entire Tianshu nation. Not only there were a lot of audiences, but the judges were also national level critics and musicians. Even if someone just gets into the top ten ranking of thepetition, they could easily pursue their music career without any effort.


    And for the first prize? It''s one million Yuan with aplete schrship to study at a university abroad. And, they will also get scouted by variouspanies and make some concerts.


    But of course, just being selected for thispetition is very hard. Not to mention, one needs to be younger than the age of 22. " Ladies and Gentlemen, Wee to this year''s Eastern Sea Music Talent Tournament! I can see the hall is totally packed with people, eh?"


    " However, It''s worth it as we got some heavyweight participants here. Don''t think they are young and inexperienced. Each participant here can rival a professional!"


    With a loud apuse, the audience showed their appreciation. The host nodded as he shouted.


    " Alright, Everyone! Let the show begin!"


    " Our first contestant is Bu Lingye from the prestigious Changsha Academy. Only at the age of 16 he already mastered the violin."


    A young man wearing a neat suit walked on the stage as he bowed. " Good Morning, Everyone. My name is Bu Lingye and I am going to perform Le roi s''amuse: VII. Passepied (Arr. Elman)."


    After saying this, Bu Lingye started to y his piece using his violin. The audience became silent as they were immersed in the tune.


    When Bu Lingye finished his performance, the audience burst into apuse.


    " Not bad¡­I know him." Su Lan nodded. " Unfortunately, he made two minor mistakes during the first half. I don''t think the judges would have missed that either."


    " Hehe, As expected of you, Sis." Su Xing''er chuckled. " I am sure you can crush all the participants here."


    However, Jia Hao remained silent as if he was contemting something. As time passed, one after another participants came, delivering outstanding performance.


    Most of the audience never expected to see such young men and women delivering such fantastic performances. They are the ones who are called true prodigies.


    " Next performance, Herees Li Bei of Purple Cloud Academy."


    " Eh? Isn''t she from our school, Sister Lan?" Su Xing''er asked with a surprise.


    " She is in her final year, With me." Su Lan nodded. " Her performance has been well. Let''s see how she does here."


    " Hello everyone, My name is Li Bei and today, I am going to perform Raining Clouds and Boat."


    Suddenly, Su Lan''s expression changed when she heard that. " What?"


    Su Xing''er also found something amiss. " Wait, Sister, Wasn''t that your piece?"


    Su Yunqi also frowned. " What''s happening? I thought Su Lan was supposed to y that song?"


    " This¡­This is impossible." Su Lan mumbled. " We need to submit our songs beforehand, so there would be no repetition. I am sure I picked this song earlier."


    "That''s strange¡­" Su Yunqi frowned. " How can they make such a mistake here? I need to go and talk with the management."


    " I doubt we have time for that, Mother." Su Lan sighed as she got up. " The next number is me."


    " Lan, Are you going to y the same song?" Su Xing''er became anxious. " I don''t think the judges would like that."


    " I¡­"


    " Sister Lan, Don''t worry. Since I am here, why do you have to worry?" Jia Hao grinned as he stood up, taking the hands of Su Lan as he guided her backstage.


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Suddenly, Su Lan''s cheeks turned red as she followed Jia Hao like that. She felt like all her worries vanishing like smoke as they reached backstage.


    Li Bei finally finished her performance. One could see that she had given her. As she bowed before everyone, a cold smirk appeared on her face.


    " What a beautiful performance!" The host shouted.


    " However, Don''t think this is the end. The next participant is from the same Purple Cloud Academy, and a prodigy in both Violin and Piano, Su Lan!"


    Jia Hao saw Li Beiing to the backstage as she nced at him and Su Lan. Su Lan bit her lips with anger, but Jia Hao stopped her.


    As the person taking a new piano to the stage, Jia Hao shouted, " No, We don''t need that one. The one Li Bei yed would be alright"


    Hearing that, Li Bei halted her steps as her expression changed.

 Chapter 53 A Performance Which Shocks The Audience

    53 A Performance Which Shocks The Audience


    " Eh? But this piano is allotted for you, no?" The one who was managing the backstage spoke with confusion. " Besides, It might take some time if you tune the piano Miss Li used."


    " I don''t think you understood my words, eh?" Jia Hao walked towards him as he pulled out his wallet.Handing him bills over 5000 Yuan, He winked.


    " How about now?"


    Seeing the red bills, the manager''s eyes squinted. " Ahaha¡­Well, No problem I guess?"


    Su Lan was surprised when she saw the strange behavior of Jia Hao. " Hao''er, Why do you want to change my piano?"


    " Who knows? I just had some hunch about it."


    Jia Hao shrugged, but his gaze deliberately fell on Li Bei, who was still standing there. Seeing Jia Hao''s piercing gaze, Li Bei looked away, as if she was feeling guilty.


    '' This bastard¡­Did he found about my n? No, How it could be? This is impossible!''


    '' No matter what, Su Lan isn''t going to win anyway. I already yed her song.'' Li Bei nodded as she turned around and left.


    Suddenly, Su Lan felt Jia Hao hugging her as he whispered gently in her ears.


    " Sister Lan, You don''t need to worry. Just because someone stole your song, you think you won''t win this talent show?"


    Su Lan felt her emotions almost breaking out the moment Jia Hao hugged him. However, It wasn''t the time to get emotional. As Jia Hao said, she had to toughen up and face the situation with all her might. She need to put her heart and soul into her performance.


    " But¡­I don''t think I would get good impression if I y Raining Clouds and Boat once again." Su Lan bit her lips, still in embrace of Jia Hao.


    " Who said you should y that?" Jia Hao let her go as he winked. " You have a far better piece, no?"


    " You mean¡­The song you gave me?" Su Lan''s eyes sparkled when she thought about that. Indeed! The music piece Jia Hao gave to her was simply too good, not any less than Raining Clouds and Boat.


    Not to mention, It was an original piece that Su Lan never heard.


    '' Yeah¡­Isn''t there extra points if the piece was original? If it''s Hao''er song¡­I can do it!'' Su Lan''s heart thumped as she looked at Jia Hao with disbelief.


    " But¡­ I didn''t prepare enough. What if I do some mistake?" Su Lan spoke in a light voice.


    " It''s alright, Sister Lan." Jia Hao smiled. " It''s alright to to have mistakes. You have yed my song before, right? Don''t you understand its essence?"


    " I will be loving you all the way, all your changes, even at your high and low."


    " So, Just give your best." Jia Hao turned around and started to walk away.


    " We shall be waiting for a beautiful performance."


    Su Lan felt Jia Hao''s voice ringing like bells, dispersing the clouds of doubts and nervousness. With a gentle nod, she turned around, Walking towards the stage.


    As Su Lan got onto the stage, the audience gasped as they looked at her beauty. She gave a light bow.


    " Good Morning, Everyone. I am Su Lan. Today, I was supposed to y Raining Clouds and Boat. However, someone else already yed that." Su Lan spoke in a light voice.


    " I don''t know how the management made such a mistake, but I should thank them for it. Because It gave me the chance to y another song¡­Which you have never heard before."


    " This song is an original piece¡­ A gift from a certain someone who I love." Su Lan bowed and took her seat, taking a deep breath before starting her performance.


    Su Xing''er and Su Yunqi were getting anxious. But when Jia Hao returned to them, Su Lan already appeared on the stage.


    " Jia Hao, what happened? Is Lan alright?" Xing''er asked hurriedly.


    " Hao''er, I already talked with the person in charge here. They said they are looking into this matter. Can''t we just postpone Lan''er''s performance?" Su Yunqi also voiced her thoughts.


    " No need. She is going to perform now." Jia Hao smiled. " Just hold your breath and watch this."


    When the first note fell, the crowd became silent. Su Lan''s fingers moved like raindrops on a pool of water. The fluidity was simply unmatched, with each tune connected with the other in a beautiful manner.


    The starting was slow as if someone reminiscing some old memories. However, as time passed, the memories and emotions started to be stronger and stronger.


    Su Lan closed her eyes as her hand kept moving, she was truly ying the song from her heart. The audience was also mesmerized, as they git hit by such impactful music. It was tender and soft, yet filled with bold deration too.


    Everyone couldn''t help but think about their first love, the youthful affection between two folks. As the final piece fell, Su Lan finishing the entier song in a beautiful way. However, although a minute already passed, the audience remained silent, as if they were simply turned into statues.


    *CLAP! CLAP!*


    Su Lan opened her eyes as she could hear the first apuse. Looking there, she saw it was none other than Jia Hao.


    *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!*


    Suddenly, the audience stood up and started to apud. The judges were no exception either. All of them apuded and whistled, making Su Lan incredibly flustered.


    " Agin! y again!"


    " Once more!"


    Even the host was stunned as he walked to her. " Miss Su Lan, Is this an original piece?"


    " It is¡­" Su Lan came back to her sense as she nodded.


    " Did youposed it by yourself?"


    " No, Someone else gave this to me as a gift." Su Lan answered in a quite voice.


    " Hoho, Is he your boyfriend?" The host jested, making the audience grow curious.


    " No-Not really!" Su Lan blushed as she bowed again. " I think I am tired. I shall go back now."


    " Hahaha! Look how flustered she is!"


    " She is looking so cute."


    " Truly a goddess."


    However, as Su Lan returned, she felt a cold gaze, filled with hatred. It was none other than Li Bei.


    Su Lan also snorted as she turned around, not giving her any attention. After Su Lan, there were a few more contestants. But they didn''t evoke the feeling of the crowd as Su Lan did.


    And finally, The moment of truth arrived.


    " And the first prize goes to¡­Miss Su Lan!"


    " Ohmygod!Ohmygod!Ohmygod!" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Su Xing''er hugged Su Lan and both of them jumped with joy. Su Yunqi also clenched her fist with excitement and pride as she looked at Su Lan.


    However, she also held the hands of Jia Hao, who secretly helped Su Lan to win thispetition.


    As Su Lan walked to the stage to receive the prize, Jia Hao, Su Yunqi and Su Xing''er also followed her.


    " Thank you, Hao''er. You helped us far too much."


    However, as she got on the stage, a figure darted toward Su Lan, as a razor glinted in her hand.


    " You fucking bitch!"


    It was none other than Li Bei, who shot toward Su Lan with an unbelievable speed, making Su Lan unable to react.


    However, Jia Hao was faster as he raised his palm and gave a tight and crispy p.


    *PAA*


    " Begone Thot!"

 Chapter 54: Su Lans Compassion

    The audience was stunned when they saw the sudden drama unfolding on the stage. Some of them regretted not having some popcorn or melon seeds at that moment.


    Li Bei felt her vision blurring as she mmed into the ground with great force. When she regained her vision, she was already apprehended by the guards there.


    Calming her frightened heart, Su Lan looked at Li Bei with an iprehensible expression.


    " Li Bei, You stole my music, but I didn''t say anything. However, How can you attack me just because I got the first ce? Didn''t you get the second ce too?"


    " Why? Why do you hate me so much?"


    " Why? Why do you ask?" Li Bei snarled as she struggled. " Don''t try to be a holy saint. Su Lan, You knew my n from the beginning, don''t you?"


    " n? What n?" Su Lan shook her head, without understanding anything.


    However, a few police officers arrived there as they looked at Su Lan.


    " Miss Su, We have checked the piano which was supposed to be used by you. You are lucky that you didn''t use that one."


    " Li Bei, Did you change the mechanism and install a hidden de in Su Lan''s piano? It would have triggered when Su Lan would have yed it, making the de cut her fingers."


    " What?" Su Lan was shocked when she heard that.


    " Officer, What are you saying?" Su Yunqi felt a chill on her back when she heard that. " Li Bei is Su Lan''s ssmate, right? Why would she do such a heinous thing?"


    The management of the event also arrived there as they looked at Su Yunqi. " Miss Su, We deeply apologize for what happened. The Raining Clouds and Boat is supposed to be Su Lan''s song."


    " However, someone deliberately gave it to Li Bei and made Su Lan''s slot nk."


    " Li Bei, Is this enough or do you need some more force to confess?" Jia Hao snorted as he red at Li Bei. With a snap of his fingers, he used some power from his seed of desire, instilling fear and hatred in Li Bei.


    Although Jia Hao knew the reason, he needed to make Li Bei confess before all.


    In the original game, Li Bei was thepetitor of Su Lan. However, Su Lan always wins, making Li Bei go second or third ce.


    Li Bei''s household was pretty ordinary with her father leaving her mother. Her mother worked around and had a stable ie. However, she had high expectations from Li Bei and expected perfection from her.


    The beating and pressure from her mother, and her own incapability of winning against Su Lan cast a psychological shadow in her heart.


    It intensified when the boy whom she had a crush on confessed to Su Lan. But Su Lan rejected him politely. Seeing that, Li Bei''s heart became more and more twisted.


    She was happy that the boy got rejected. But she was also jealous that Su Lan rejected the person whom she couldn''t get.


    Therefore, she devised such a n. First, Li Bei sneaked into the registration office and took Su Lan''s song. After all, a repetition of the song would cause in deduction in points.


    However, that might not guarantee her victory. So, she even learned how to install the de inside the piano. As Su Lan would hit a particr note, the de would spring and slice off her fingers.


    After that happened, Su Lan simply isted herself within her family and never touched any musical instrument again. And as days passed, she would have sunken deep in depression.


    However, Thanks to Jia Hao, he changed the future event and caught Li Bei red handed.


    " Yes! I did it! I did it all!" Li Bei spoke in a venomous voice as she tried to struggle free.


    " Why? Why don''t you just let me win?! Just one time, Just one time I wanted to defeat you!"


    " Why? Why you have everything? You have beauty, you have talent! You are academically superior! So many suitors around you!"


    " Why did heaven gave you everything? Just why?" Li Bei finally broke down as she started to sob.


    " One million¡­With that, I could have repaid all my mom''s debt. And¡­I would have gone to abroad¡­This fucking life! This sucks!"


    Jia Hao looked at Li Bei as he could understand her feelings. She was at the lowest of her life and she took a decision.


    But that decision was the wrong one and now, she had to face consequences.


    Su Lan was silent as she looked at Li Bei. " Yes, Life isn''t fair. I am lucky to have such family and circumstances. However, My talent? It''s something I gained with my own effort."


    " I practiced my music for nights and I also had to study between my music practice. Everything I got was because I gave enough time and effort."


    " And what about you, Li Bei? You weren''t much worse than me. Yes, You could never beat me, but what about those whom you have defeated? Do you think they should hurt you too out of jealousy?"


    Li Bei was stunned when she heard Su Lan. However, she still struggled.


    Su Lan took a deep breath as she took the cheque which was given to her as the first prize.


    " In fact¡­ I never needed the first prizes. I was thinking of donating the seat of university to someone else because I don''t have any intention to go abroad."


    " Mother¡­Can you let Li Bei go?"


    Everyone''s expression changed when they heard Su Lan''s request.


    " Lan''er¡­Are you sure?"


    " Absolutely not!" Jia Hao jumped in.


    " Sister Lan, Don''t think emotionally. If she had seeded in her n, you would have lost your fingers forever!"


    " Yes, Lan! You can''t show benevolence to such a devious bitch!" Su Xing''er supported Jia Hao as she cast a nce toward Li Bei.


    If not for the crowd, she would have already knocked out her teeth.


    " Mother¡­ This is what I truly wish. Please, Let her go." Su Lan spoke after taking a breath.


    Su Yunqi sighed as she rubbed her forehead. " Li Bei, Is it? You tried to harm my daughter yet now she wants to let you go. What should I do?"


    " I¡­ I¡­This is just an act¡­Yes, This must be!"


    Li Bei murmured as if she found the entire situation unbelievable. " You are¡­Just doing a publicity stunt."


    " No, I am telling the truth." Su Yunqi''s voice became cold. "


    Apologize to her right now and there won''t be any case."


    " I¡­ I am¡­Sorry. WUUUUU!!"


    Li Bei broke down as she covered her face with her palm. Pain, hatred, confusion, and relief created a strange mess in her heart.


    However, when she saw Su Yunqi handing the cheque to her, Li Bei felt everything was simply a dream.


    " Go ahead, Li Bei. I believe you can do better in abroad." Su Lan spoke with a mild smile.


    Suddenly, the entire hall filled with loud apuse as everythingmended Su Lan''spassion.


    '' Is it because she is a heroine? Or it''s simply the nature of Su Lan?'' Jia Hao sighed as he didn''t oppose her anymore.


    There, he absorbed a lot of negative emotions from Li Bei. However, now, he received an overwhelming amount of remorse¡­and joy.


    Pure, unadulterated joy.

 Chapter 55: Breakthrough

    As they reached home, Su Xing''er fell on the couch. " Haah, It was tiresome. I don''t think I will go to school tomorrow."


    " Well? You guys must be hungry, no?" Su Yunqi smiled as she got up. " Let me prepare something real quick.


    As Su Yunqi left for the kitsch, Su Lan turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao was walking upstairs, straight to his room. Su Lan felt a bit guilty as she hurriedly followed him.


    " Hao''er, I want to say¡­"


    Suddenly, Su Lan''s eyes became wide when she saw Jia Hao almost naked and taking off his briefs. When Su Lan entered the room, he paused as he kept on his brief.


    " Ahaha, Sister Lan, Is this the revenge ofst time?"


    Jia Hao jested as he stood there, unabashed. However, his little brother was excited and now straining against his briefs.


    Seeing Jia Hao in that state, Su Lan''s face turned red like a tomato as she averted her gaze.


    " N-No, What do you mean, Hao''er?!"


    " Jus-Just hurry up and put a towel on!"


    " Alright, As you say, Sister Lan." Jia Hao shrugged as he put on a towl around his waist.


    " I was just going for a quick shower. What do you want to talk about, Sister Lan."


    " Hao''er¡­Are you angry with me?" Su Lan walked towards Jia Hao as she spoke in a low voice.


    " Angry? Why would I?" Jia Hao tilted his head as he asked.


    " About Li Bei¡­" Su Lan sighed. " Listen to me, Jia Hao, I know you think Li Bei deserves her punishment. However, I believe she is just a personpelled by circumstances and we should give her a chance to redeem herself."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao looked at her as he sighed. " Alright, Sister Lan, I know you are a merciful individual and I appreciate that."


    " However, You were only able to do that because you didn''t think what could have happened if your fingers got sliced in the middle of the show. You didn''t think of the consequences if Li Bei had seeded."


    " But, I won''t say anything to you. Because, You changed her mind through yourpassion." Jia Hao sighed.


    " Unfortunately, not every serpent would go if you let them go. Some will turn around and bite you."


    " And, I would rather kill all the vengeful serpents rather than take the chance of getting bitten."


    Su Lan took a deep breath as she could understand Jia Hao''s deep concern and care about her. It made her heart turn warm.


    " But actually, How did you know about Li Bei''s n?" Su Lan suddenly asked.


    " Uhh¡­ Let''s say¡­I have pretty sharp eyes." Jia Hao looked around as he answered. " I mean, I didn''t know there was a de hidden in your piano. But, I certainly knew something wrong with your piano after your music got taken by Li Bei."


    Su Lan felt Jia Hao was hiding something. However, thinking about him, Su Lan knew that Jia Hao would never mean any harm. So, She let it go.


    " But thanks for your save, Hao''er. I just felt like¡­What would have happened if you weren''t there to help me." Su Lan clenched the hem of her skirt as she spoke sweetly.


    " Well, Rather than using words, how about you give me some real reward, hm?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " Oh? And what is the reward you want, Hm?" Su Lan looked at her curiously.


    " How about¡­"


    " Lan, Come and help me to find something."


    Su Xing''er voice from far interrupted Su Lan and Jia Hao. Su Lan gave a light smile as she turned around. " Well, Don''t worry, Hao''er. I will give you whatever you want~"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he heard that. After Su Lan left, he went and took a shower.


    When he came out, his phone rang and it was from a familiar number.


    " Ah, Mr. Chen. What a pleasant surprise. I was just waiting for your call." Jia Hao smiled as he spoke.


    " Well, Little Jia, I shall be frank. The person who wants that Snowlion statue ising today. Will you be free in the afternoon?"


    " Yeah, How about we meet in¡­"


    " Alright, I shall be there."


    Jia Hao ended the call as he took a deep breath. After eating together with the Su Family, Jia Hao went to the Southern Edge Dojo.


    " Ehh? Jiang Ruoyou isn''t here?" Jia Hao grumbled when he heard that.


    " Yeah, She went outside for some work." The receptionist smiled. " But she had instructed me to receive you whenever youe here, Mr. Jia."


    " Alright, I am going to the gym upstairs." Jia Hao nodded as he walked to the gym.


    '' Doing regr exercise, It will take three days to get 30 points of Strength. However, there is a cheat I can employ to get an instant reward."


    In fact, the cheat is simple. And it''s to do three days'' worth of training in a single day.


    Although it sounded simple, it was difficult to pull in the real game.


    Because, after one day worth of gym, the character would get fatigued and won''t be able to do more exercise. So, unless some yer uses something like Vitality Elixir of pay premium currency to remove fatigue, one can only finish this in seven days.


    However, although Jia Hao didn''t have anything like Vitaility Elixir, his own strength was much greater than any normal person here.


    Thinking about that, he started to do his exercise.


    Since it was already afternoon, quite some people were in the gym, unlike early morning.


    Everyone who where doing exercises was surprised when they saw Jia Hao pushing past his limits.


    " Holy shit! How many times he is going to do it?"


    " Yeah, And he is doing all sorts of exercises."


    " Little brother, You shouldn''t burden your body like that. Doing exercising like this might harm your body."


    " Could it be¡­His girlfriend left him?"


    Jia Haoughed lightly when he heard the remarks. " Not really, Brothers. It''s true that one should do just enough ording to their physique. And guess what? My body is much stronger. So, this much is fine."


    At first, none of them believed Jia Hao. However, his pace remained the same even after two hours, making them stunned.


    " What sort of monstrous body that young man got."


    " Holy shit! Is he some poor young master practicing martial arts in seclusion?"


    " Dude, you are reading too much webnovel."


    The moment Jia Hao finished his exercises, he felt a surge of strength inside his body. Unlike the violent energy of Crimson Vigor Pill, this energy was much more sublime and pure.


    Taking a break, Jia Hao went to the lounge and sat cross legged, steadying his breath as he used his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts to refine that flow of energy.


    He felt each of his organs was hammered by the surge of energy. The vibration of the energy was stimting his five viscera and six bowels, making them stronger and stronger.


    *BOOOM!*


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s expression changed as he rushed to the toilet, vomiting ayer of filth.


    " Blegh! I finally reached¡­Earthen Organ Realm." He wiped his mouth as he murmured.


    " Time to go and sell this statue."

 Chapter 56: Price of Two Billion Yuan

    Getting up, Jia Hao stretched his body, with soft sounds of bone cracking inside his body. He could feel that his organs were more vigorous now, and they were ready to give more output than a normal human''s organs could give.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao wiped his sweat as he dressed back. Looking at the time, Jia Hao realized that it was already time for him to meet Chen Mo.


    As he went to a small restaurant nearby, Jia Hao noticed Chen Mo waiting for him.


    " Ah, Little Jia, Come with me. We have booked a private cabin. You know, this ce''s fried chicken is pretty good."


    " Then, I shall have a bucket." Jia Haoughed lightly as he followed Chen Mo inside the private cabin. Inside the cabin, Jia Hao saw a middle aged man with dark circles under his eyes, along with an old man in simple robes.


    [ Name: Sun Shuang]


    [ Age: 52]


    [Remark: Current Chairman of Haizhou Food Suppliers. A cunning businessman. Currently, insomniac, anxious, and depressed]


    [ Recent Future Points: five dayster, due to a rash decision, He will lose a project over Ten Billion Yuan]


    [ Name: Xu Fu]


    [ Age: 62]


    [ Remark: Elder Taoist of Western City Temple. Proficient in Geomancy and a little bit in Fortune Telling. He can also appraise the spiritual power of treasures]


    [ Recent Future Points: Not any]


    Jia Hao raised his brows when he read the description of Xu Fu and Sun Shuang with his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    '' Hmm, The Haizhou Food Suppliers is a behemoth in the food industry of Tianshu Nation. Their annual turnover is over fifty billion yuan.''


    '' As for thai Xu Fu, I didn''t expect to meet a genuine taoist so early. Although there are some mystery elements inside the Urban Fantasy, it was never fully explored.''


    Jia Hao nodded as he smiled at Shun Shuang and Xu Fu. " Junior Jia Hao greets elder. I believe you are Mr. Sun Shuang and Elder Xu?"


    Sun Shuang and Xu Fu exchanged surprised nces when Jia Hao addressed them. They didn''t expected Jia Hao to know their identity.


    " I see, So Elder Chen already told you about us, huh?" Sun Shuang smiled as he looked at Chen Mo.


    " I didn''t." Chen Mo shook his head. " Didn''t I tell you? Little Jia is very perceptive."


    " Hoho, What a handsome face, sharp eyes, and vitality like a dragon. This young man has a bright future." Xu Fu rubbed his beard as he gave an amicable smile.


    " Well, Before showing you the treasure, may I know the reason why Mr. Sun is looking for such a thing?" Jia Hao smiled as he sat before them.


    " Of course, you can choose not to tell me. It''s all your choice, Mr. Sun."


    Sun Shaung looked at Xu Fu, who nodded calmly. Then, Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao and nodded.


    " Very well, It started two months ago. My father is an antique collector and collected a lot of things. One day, he met an old man and bought a porcin bowl."


    " It was a sealed bowl. However, the moment he brought it inside the house, the fell down and shattered, with a surge of ck smoke escaping from it and merging with our mansion."


    " When I heard from my dad, I thought it must be his hallucination. However, from that day, My dad fell ill and his illness got worse as days passed. We tried to consult many doctors, but his condition didn''t improve."


    " Not to mention, his condition deteriorated the moment he goes outside the mansion. So, now we are treating him inside the mansion."


    Xu Fu nodded as he spoke. " It was a malevolent spirit sealed inside that bowl. It''s a rare and vicious kind, which was purposely sent to harm the Sun Family."


    " Since the house''s foundation was put by Mr. Sun''s father, harming the fengshui of the house is the same as harming his health."


    " Not to mention, the Haizhou Food Corporations also suffered quite a lot these days."


    " To remove that spirit from the house, we need to create a fengshui array. However, in the center of the array, we need a sacred treasure containing evil repelling extreme Yang energy. And Treasured Gold is such a material."


    " Well, Then I guess this item might truly help you." Jia Hao grinned as he took out the small Snowlion statue, showing it to Xu Fu.


    Xu Fu''s eyes gleamed as he held the statue. As his fingers traced on the mane of the lion, his face became excited.


    " Heavens! How is it possible for a treasure like this appear in the mortal world? This is simply too good."


    " Elder Xu, Is this treasure authentic?"


    " I can feel the holy aura around it. Keeping it around you will keep you healthy and protect you from dark forces." Xu Fu nodded.


    " Also, With this, I am sure we can eradicate that curse from your mansion, restoring peace and prosperity in your life."


    " Very well, Since Elder Xu has given his verdict, I am willing to buy this." Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao.


    " Name your price."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he satposed. " Well, Before doing that¡­Mr. Sun, Are you doing some big deal in a few days? Something which if fails¡­Can give you loss of few billions."


    " Eh? Deal?"


    At first, Sun Shuang didn''t understand what Jia Hao was saying. However, suddenly, he remembered something as his eyes narrowed.


    " I wonder how you know about this information?"


    " Well, It doesn''t matter where I know this information." Jia Hao tapped his finger on the table. " The thing is¡­ I know this deal is a trap and it will fail eventually, making you lose ten billion yuan at once."


    " What?!"


    Sun Shuang''s expression changed when he heard that. Of course, he understood which deal Jia Hao was talking about. And it could indeed give him such a major loss if the deal fails.


    " No, How is that possible? I have personally checked everything. There is no way it can happen!" Sun Shuang shook his head as he looked at Jia Hao with annoyance.


    " You are just a brat. How can you talk to me like that, and point question at my decision?"


    " Well? I just spoke what I wanted to speak." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " You better check the closest ones who know about this deal along with you. Because I am sure, one of them is a mole and the reason behind the failure of that deal."


    Sun Shaung''s expression changed once again when he heard that.


    " Do you understand what you are saying?"

 Chapter 57: Fake Trinkets

    If it was earlier, Sun Shuang would have scoffed at Jia Hao''s warning as some ramblings. However, he had a discerning eye and realized Jia Hao wasn''t just bullshitting.


    Not to mention, possessing such unusual treasure, what if Jia Hao was telling the truth?


    " I am sure with the capabilities of Mr. Sun, It won''t take long to verify my words, right?" Jia Haoughed as he looked at Chen Mo.


    " Meanwhile, Elder Chen, Didn''t you say the fried chicken in this restaurant is pretty famous? How about we try it?"


    " Hoho, Is that so?" Chen Mo nodded as he called the waiter andced the order.


    In fact, he was also curious to see the authenticity of Jia Hao''s ims. Chen Mo truly wondered about the mystery surrounding Jia Hao, making him watch the show until the end.


    Almost an hour passed as Jia Hao leaned back on the chair, wiping his mouth, " Wow, It''s much more delicious than I expected. Especially the hot sauce they drizzled on it. It''s too good."


    " Haha, I am d that you liked it." Chen Moughed lightly.


    Sun Shuang received a call and his expression became solemn.


    " So, Are you telling the truth?" Sun Shuang spoke in a pressing voice. After that, he sighed as his voice turned cold.


    " Take him down and squeeze every information from him."


    Ending the call, Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao withplicated eyes.


    " Well, Little Brother, I am truly thrilled to see your abilities. A mole really nning to hand over the bidding document to ourpetitor."


    " He already received fifty million yuan in his private bank ount and he received more than thirty million today."


    Jia Hao sipped water from the ss as he smiled. " No problem, Mr. Sun. I am also helping you with my own needs. After all, in this world, connection means everything, no?"


    " Haha, Such profound words. You don''t look like a 19 year old boy at all, Little Brother." Sun Shuangughed loudly when he heard Jia Hao''s frankness.


    " Very well, Mr. Sun. I shall state my price now." Jia Hao looked at him. " How about two billion yuan?"


    " What? Two billion yuan?"


    Everyone''s expression changed when they heard Jia Hao stating the price.


    " Little brother, Don''t you think that''s an outrageous amount?" Sun Shuang''s expression stiffened as he spoke.


    " Indeed, Two billion yuan for this treasure is too high, Jia Hao." Chen Mo also nodded.


    " Well, I know it''s a bit too expensive for my treasure. But I am not just asking money for this treasure." Jia Hao grinned. " Mr. Sun, I just saved you from a big loss. Should I not take some reward for myself?"


    " Well¡­"


    " Not to mention, as I said¡­" Jia Hao looked at Sun Shuang with a calm gaze. " Sometimes, Connection is worth more than money, no?"


    " And, it''s not one sided connection. If I am getting benefit from you, then you would be also getting benefit from me."


    " So, What do you say, Mr. Sun? Are you in?" Jia Hao looked at him intently.


    " I understand what you are saying, Little Brother. However, Two billion¡­"


    " I know as a businessman, It''s your nature to negotiate." Jia Hao waved his hand. " However, Sometimes, You need to look at the bigger picture."


    " However, I can cut the price in half and sell this to you for one billion yuan." Jia Hao suddenly spoke.


    " Oh? And what''s the condition?"


    Sun Shuang didn''t haggle on the price anymore as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Bring down Li Tao, the owner of Qingzhou Gallery." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.


    " It looks like Little Brother has some grudge against Li Tao?" Chen Mo looked at Jia Hao with curiosity. Jia Hao didn''t borate much as he nodded.


    " Unless he dies or get locks in the jail permanently, I can''t sit in peace."


    " That''s some deep grudge." Sun Shuang chuckled as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Alright, One billion yuan along with taking out Li Tao. I ept this deal."


    " It''s a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Sun."


    Jia Hao and Sun Shuang shook their hands as Xu Fu took the small statue with him.


    " Here, This is my number. If anything happens, give me a direct call."


    " As you say, Uncle Sun."


    " Haha! Goodd."


    After leaving, Jia Hao went to the bank to upgrade his ount to a VVIP ount. Seeing the amount in his ount, and the involvement of Sun Shuang, the manager treated Jia Hao with utmost respect.


    " Hahaha, Fuck this!" Jia Haoughed loudly when he saw more than one billion yuan in his ount.


    " Earning money is truly easy, eh? Especially when you have the capabilities."


    Jia Hao was in a good mood as he walked in the street. After all, who wouldn''t be happy to receive a billion yuan?


    As he was passing through, his attention fell on a hawker.


    " Believe the Taoist Temple! Believe thew of heaven! This talisman can bring good fortune to you!"


    " A talisman which can ward off evil! And a talisman which can bring good fortune! There are also rare pills, Only for you!"


    He was also selling a lot of trinkets along with the talismans. Out of curiosity, he walked toward him.

    [ Evil Expelling Talisman: Made with yellow printed paper and red ink. Lowest quality fake good]


    [ Attraction Talisman: Made with yellow printed paper and red ink. Lowest quality fake good]


    [ Evil Expelling Talisman: Made with yellow peach paper and ck dog blood ink. Better Quality Fake Good]


    '' Eh? It''s fake but better quality?'' Jia Hao was surprised as he thought about it.


    He saw the remark and couldn''t help but get intrigued. Then he saw another bottle.


    [ Pills of Charm: Made with chocte and a bit of opium. It can get a bit addictive but not dangerous to health. Better quality fake good]


    " What talisman is this?" Jia Hao walked to that hawker as he asked in curiosity.


    " Hoho, Young man, It looks like you have fate with my great items today." The hawker spoke like a true professional with a smile stered on his face.


    " This is an Evil Expelling Talisman. If you carry it with you, no evil spirit coulde within twenty meter radius of yours. And if you tear it, it will create a blinding st of energy, exorcising it instantly."


    " Oh? That sounds powerful." Jia Hao''s eyes shone with excitement as he spoke.


    " Don''t worry, Everything I said is true." The hawker coughed. " Since it''s your fateful day, This talisman would cost you 10,000 Yuan."


    " Ten thousand?" Jia Hai was perplexed. " Isn''t that too expensive? I would rather buy something else. Like¡­What''s this bottle."


    " This is a Bottle of Charming Pill." The hawker grinned. " Hehe, Do you have a crush? If you feed her this pill, she will start to get affectionate towards you."


    " This bottle costs 20,000 yuan."


    " Both of them for 500 Yuan." Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice.


    " What?" The hawker''s face turned hard. " Little brother, I am also a business man. How about 15,000 Yuan for both of them?"


    " 800 Yuan."


    " 5000 Yuan for both of them."


    " 1000, Take it or I will leave." Jia Hao''s expression didn''t change.


    " Alright, Alright¡­ Here, Take this." The hawker grumbled as the passed the items to Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao passed him a thousand yuan before leaving quickly.


    " Hehe, I still made a profit of over 800 Yuans. Not bad, my skills are stillthere."


    The hawker grinned as he resumed shouting about his treasures.

 Chapter 58: Astounding Flavors

    Returning back to the mansion early, Jia Hao saw it was merely, 6 PM. So he said that he would be gaming all night and wouldn''t be having dinner.


    Sun Yunqi and Su Lan obviously pouted as they said Jia Hao shouldn''t push his body like that. However, Su Xing''er said that his body was more than enough to handle it.


    " Twelve hours in Tianshu Nation means Sixty Hours in Yun Continent. Not bad, I have already purchased some jade pieces, a few knives, a bottle of soy sauce and hot sauce, a mobile phone, that talisman, and a bottle of charming pills¡­"


    Jia Hao mumbled as he threw all these things inside the Pot of Miracles.


    '' Oh, I alsopletely tranted the Hundred Army Battle Formations. However, I should cross check my trantion with my dear wife.''


    Going to sleep, Jia Hao cleared his head as he slolwy drifted to sleep.


    With his eyes slowly opening, he found himself on the bed in his room inside the Cai Family Mansion. Looking outside the window, Jia Hao realized that it was already evening here.


    Taking off his clothes, he started to change into ancient world''s attire. However, as he was almost naked, the door opened, and Cai Yixue and Minmin walked inside.


    " Minmin, Have alerted all our people across Nanhai City?"


    " Yes, Young Lady, and the response is positive. I am sure tomorrow will pass smooth-"


    Before Minmin could finish her sentence, her gaze fell on the figure standing in the bedroom, with his body gently glistening withmp light.


    " What happened?"


    Cai Yixue paused as she followed Minmin''s vision, only to see Jia Hao changing clothes.


    Jia Hao was also surprised as he looked gawking at Cai Yixue and Minmin.


    " Umm¡­Good evening?"


    " Yo-You!"


    Cai Yixue flushed as she turned around. " When did you return? Why didn''t you inform me?"


    Seeing Minmin wasn''t turning around, Cai Yixue held her and turned her around.


    " I¡­I just came back right now."


    " Hurry up and done your clothes!"


    " Alright!"


    Jia Hao didn''t want to irk Cai Yixue. Therefore, he hurriedly changed his attire.


    " Heavens, Are you a ghost?" Cai Yixue finally turned around and looked at Jia Hao with annoyance and surprise.


    She even doubled the manpower around the house. Yet she got no sound when Jia Hao entered this room.


    " He also got a monstrous body¡­" Minmin nced at Jia Hao''s lower half, mumbling softly.


    " Wh-What are you talking about?" Cai Yixue blushed as she pped the head of Minmin, making her yelp.


    " Ahem, My wife, I just came back from a faraway ce. Won''t let me rest?" Jia Hao spoke with a smiling face.


    " Is that so?"


    Cai Yixue was skeptical. However, she nodded and turned around. " Follow me, It''s dinner time anyway."


    " Are we having dinner with the whole family?"


    " Yes."


    Jia Hao became interested. However, when he thought about the nd food here, his happiness dimmed down.


    '' Wait, I brought some hot sauce and soy sauce with me, no? I can at least season the food.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he nodded.


    " It would be my pleasure, Wife."


    Cai Yixue''s ears turned red as she hurriedly walked. " Then follow me. And¡­Don''t call me wife."


    " Then what should I call you wife? Darling? Honey?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " I¡­ No, Not those."


    Cai Yixue nibbled her lips as she shut her mouth, realizing she couldn''t win against Jia Hao.


    " Then, I shall keep calling you wife."


    " Hahh¡­"


    As they reached the opulent dining hall, Cai Yunhai and Li Rou were already sitting, with servants putting one after another steaming dishes.


    " Oh? Little Jia is also joining us for dinner?" Li Rou raised her brows as she looked at Jia Hao beside Cai Yixue.


    " Hoho, I wondered where did you go. My men couldn''t find you in the entire city at all." Cai Yunhai''s eyes narrowed.


    " Well, Doesn''t that mean my capabilities are pretty good, Father inw?" Jia Hao smiled as he took his seat.


    " So, What do we have for dinner?"


    " Lamb Chop, soup dumplings and fried fish with rice noodles. There are some other side dishes too." Li Rou smiled.


    " Errm¡­ Themb chop looks a bit¡­nd though?" Jia Hao mumbled as he looked at it.


    " Hah? How can you say that? Although our family chef isn''t as good as the Hongxin Tower, he is also an expert in culinary." Cai Yixue pursed her lips as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Well? Good thing I have bought some new things with me this time." Jia Hao grinned as he suddenly pulled out two bottles. One was shining with red while another one was inky ck.


    " What are those?"


    Everyone''s gaze fell on Jia Hao as they looked at the two bottles in his hand.


    [ Special Hot Ketchup: Juicy tomato pury mixed with fiery red chilly. The spice meets with tanginess, making one salivate just after a lick. Warning: Might be addictive for spice lovers]


    [ Special Soy Sauce: Enchanted by cosmic energy and vors are much enhanced. It can increase the taste of dish with a small amount]


    When Jia Hao poured the sauces on the te, everyone became intrigued. Cai Yunhai''s nose twitched as he nodded. " Mhm¡­This smells¡­fragrant and spicy."


    " Father inw, dip the meat chop in it and eat it."


    " If you say so¡­"


    The moment Cai Yunhai ate it, his expression became stunned as his eyes became wide. Li Rou was also curious as she also dipped her bite in red sauce and ate it.


    " Oh god! This...This is so..Spicy!" Li Rou coughed as she chewed the meat. " But it''s¡­Good!"


    " Hahaha! Ooof! It''s spicy, Yes!" Cai Yunhaiughed loudly as he dipped another bite thoroughly and ate it.


    " But I like it! I missed such spiciness. It tastes so good! I can''t stop eating."


    " And this¡­This feels like..Soy paste?" Cai Yixue was surprised as she tasted the soy sauce. " No, It''s much smoother and rich in taste. The soy paste also has vor¡­but it''s on another realm."


    " This is soy sauce, something made from soy paste''s fermentation. This is much better than the raw paste you are eating." Jia Hao smiled.


    " So, Father in Law, Now¡­How themb chop is tasting?"


    " Heavenly!"


    " Hehe, Then how about we sell it?" Jia Hao put forth his idea.


    " Huh? What do you mean?" Li Rou asked in surprise. But she grasped the situation and eximed. " Ah, Are you talking about using these sauces in our bun shop?"


    " Mother in Law is truly wise as her beauty." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Aw, what a silver tongue." Li Rou chuckled. " Hmm, But your n does have some potential."


    " Well, You don''t need to hurry, Mother in Law." Jia Hao also sprinkled some sauces in the noodle before taking a bite. " We can make ns for it slowly. For now, please enjoy the dinner."


    " Haha, Good! What a good son inw." Cai Yunhaiughed loudly as he looked at him. " But¡­I think we should drink something while eating, no?"


    " Oh, Father in Law wants to drink?" Jia Hao took out the bottle of maotai and poured some of it into a small ss. " Here you go."


    " This¡­This¡­Urgh!"


    Cai Yunhai''s face turned red as he took a small sip. It was the strongest liquor Jia Hao had, and now Cai Yunhai experiencing it.


    " Haha¡­ Fuck! It''s¡­Burning! Hahaha!"


    Cai Yunhaiughed as he looked at Jia Hao. " Damned rascal! You hid such a good thing from me!?"


    " Well, Special things are reserved for special moments, Father in Law." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Anyway, Let''s talk about something important." Li Rou red at Cai Yunhai as she opened her mouth.


    " About the selection of the Nanhai City''s district magistrate."

 Chapter 59: Tough Case

    " The others would try their best to stop being the Nanhai City Magistrate. Because he is already a general and holds considerable military power." Cai Yixue sighed as she licked her lips, tasting the remaining sauce on her lips.


    " Being the City Magistrate, Father would be able to hold the power ofw enforcement in Nanhai City. It''s something that would rival the City Lord''s power."


    " And as you know, the Suo Ming who current City Lord of Nanhai City, and the Suo Family are a bit hostile with the Cai Family. After all, A mountain can''t have two tigers." Li Rou exined.


    " Therefore, If the Husband bes the City Magistrate, the Suo Family could only bark at us from the corner."''


    " However, Getting approval from Imperial Family isn''t easy." Cai Yunhai gave a bitter smile. " I am sure they are going to give me some difficult task."


    " Father in Law, do you have any idea what it might be?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " I believe it might be the case of Moonlight Rapist." Cai Yixue spoke.


    " Moonlight Rapist?" Jia Hao asked with a curious voice.


    " It started in Western River City. A rich noble''s house in Western River City was robbed, and their daughter was kidnapped. Three dayster, her mutted corpse was found beside the riverside."


    " After that, three more simr things happened in the same city before the next case appeared a monthter in Yuzhu County."


    " And ten days ago, two such cases happened in our Nanhai City." Cai Yixue sighed. " No one ever seen his face. But it''s spected that he is a middle aged man with a scar on his left eye."


    " The thing is, he got injured by the city guards of the Nanhai City which was led by the seventh captain. After that, his whereabouts have been unknown."


    " He might have already left the city."


    " So, You are saying that to be the City Magistrate, Father in Law has to capture this bastard?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yunhai.


    " Well? City Magistrate is the symbol of justice on behalf of the Emperor." Cai Yunhai shrugged.


    " But the thing is, That bastard is too good at hiding. All families and factions of Nanhai City are trying to find him. But it was simply futile." Cai Yunhai grumbled.


    " He already has a bounty of 30,000 Taels of gold on his head. However, He is very skilled at hiding. But I believe he is still in Nanhai City." Cai Yunhai rubbed his chin.


    " Because his injuries aren''t shallow. If he goes out with such injuries, he would get caught immediately."


    " But, I guess he must have quite some skills if he still hasn''t got caught even staying inside Nanhai City under everyone''s nose." Jia Hao grinned.


    " What do you think about his strength, Father in Law?"


    " Not Innate realm yet. I even doubt if he reached the Peak stage of the Profound Awakening Realm. But his martial arts¡­It''s a unique, stealth type technique."


    " Anyway, I believe we have a much more important thing to do tomorrow." Jia Hao smiled. Cai Yixue realized it and she was surprised.


    " Ah, Are you talking about Zhu Wuya?" Cai Yixue''s eyes narrowed.


    " Yeah, After catching him, we can investigate about this Moonlight Rapist." Jia Hao grinned.


    " What happened with Zhu Wuya? You are going to make you rmove tomorrow?" Li Rou looked at Cai Yixue and Jia Hao.


    " Don''t worry, Mother in Law. We will catch him in an honest and upright manner. So no one could raise a voice of doubt." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Well, Dinner is finished. I guess I should go back and rest." Jia Hao stood up.


    " Where are you going?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " ¡­To rest?"


    " Give me that bottle of rice wine." Cai Yunhai licked his lips greedily.


    " Father inw¡­You shouldn''t drink much¡­" Jia Hao forced a smile.


    " What? Are you defying your father inw?"


    " Dear¡­I also think you should not drink so much." Li Rou spoke.


    " But that wine, I want more¡­"


    " I said¡­No drinks tonight."


    Cai Yunhai shut his mouth when he realized Li Rou''s tone took an icy glint.


    Cai Yixue got up as she looked at Jia Hao. " We are going back."


    " Go ahead, Yixue. I hope both of you spend a pleasurable night."


    " Mo-Mother! What are you talking about?" Cai Yixue flushed as she shouted, walking out hurriedly. Jia Hao didn''t linger around and followed her swiftly.


    Arriving in their room, Cai Yixue and Jia Hao became silent. " Well¡­Since it''ste, We should sleep early."


    " Yes¡­ You¡­Sleep on the bed. I will sleep¡­somewhere else."


    " No need for that." Jia Hao knew Cai Yixue would say something like that. Getting on the bed, Jia Hao put pillows in the middle of the bed.


    " We can always share the bed, My Wife. No need to punish yourself like this."


    " I¡­ It''s alright. I amfortable on sofa." Cai Yixue insisted.


    " Well, I won''t force you, Wife. But I believe you should trust your husband a bit more." Jia Hao smiled as he got on one side and slept.


    Cai Yixue thought for a while and sighed, joining Jia Hao on the bed.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao hadn''t fallen asleep, but looking at the items he brought to Yun Continent this time,


    [ Evil Repelling Charm: Made with imbuing spiritual qi, drawn with refined blood of a ck dog with yellow peach paper. A Talisman that can naturally make evil things stay away from the bearer. Once ripped, it will create a burst of radiance which can make any evil exorcise]


    '' As I thought! This is possible! This is what you call a miracle!'' Jia Hao became excited when he saw the description.


    It was clearly a fake item when he bought it. However now, It turned into a genuine Evil Repelling Talisman.


    '' Pot of Miracle, It can turn fake into real. That means many unrealistic thing will appear in reality.''


    '' No, as It said¡­All depends on thew of causality and the world. I can bring a magical sword here, but not a missile I guess?''


    '' But anyway, This discovery is great. Let me see the state of other things.''


    [ Pills of Truth: Treated with special herbs, this pill can make someone force to tell the truth. If the information is in the brain, the person won''t be able to hide it. Effective for 30 minutes]


    '' So the charming pill turned into Pill of Truth, eh? I believe there are ten pills in a single bottle. Hehe, What a treasure!''


    [ Green Eyed Jades: A very pure quality ss jade with a green eye in the center. Such jade a very good material to craft treasure or charms]


    [ Damascus Dagger: High quality steel forced into damascus daggers. Very sharp, durable, and exquisite in design]


    '' All four knives I brought turned into Damascus daggers. How amusing.''


    [ Mobile Phone: An ordinary mobile phone of Little Rice brand]


    '' Well, I thought it would have turned into a mobile phone where I can buy anything from another world. But I guess¡­It would change the genre of the story.''


    '' Ahem, I shouldn''t be greedy. I already got quite a lot of things. Let''s focus on Zhu Wuya and Moonlight Rapist''s case in mind.''


    Thinking about that, Jia Hao slowly fell asleep.


    When the sun rose, Jia Hao''s eyes fluttered as he felt suffocated.


    '' What''s this soft and cushy thing pressing on my face?''

 Chapter 60: Arresting Zhu Wuya

    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s eyes opened as he looked around him. However, he found that he was alone in the bed.


    '' Was that some hallucination? Perhaps I am thinking quite a lot these days.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he got up from the bed with a yawn.


    " Young Master Jia, Have you woken up?"


    Jia Hao saw it was Minmin, Cai Yixue''s maid. She was holding a bronze pot full of water, to wash his face. Jia Hao suddenly realized that he forgot to bring a toothbrush and paste.


    " Eh? What''s this?" Jia Hao was surprised when he saw something that looked like a toothbrush. However, the handle was made of bones and the brush looked much crude.


    Along with was a small cup of green fluid, giving the scent of freshly crushed leaves.


    " This¡­"


    " This is mouth brush with bitter leaves paste." Minmin spoke with confusion. " It''s to rinse your mouth, Young Master."


    " Ah, right." Jia Hao nodded as he dipped the brush in the paste and started to brush his teeth.


    '' Damn, This is fucking bitter!'' His expression winced, but he kept brushing and then rinsed his mouth.


    [ Bitter Leaves Paste: Made with fresh leaves and gum of Bitter Leave Tree. It has anti germ properties]


    '' I guess the ancients aren''t that dumb. Although they don''t have technology, their knowledge is also advanced, just in a different way.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    " Young Lady is waiting for you in the dining room." Minmin bowed. However, Jia Hao could see she was stealing and nced at him.


    " What is it, Minmin? Am I looking handsome today?" Jia Hao grinned. " Oh wait, I always have been handsome."


    " Pffft, Young Master Jia, You are so full of yourself?"


    " It''s called being confident, Minmin." Jia Hao chuckled as he followed her.


    Cai Yixue sat beside the table, with an elegant white dress. The sunlight of early morning illuminated her beautiful stature, making Jia Hao stun a bit.


    '' Is that woman is really my wife?'' Jia Hao gave a bitter smile as he walked to her and sat beside her.


    '' Good morning, Wife. Have you slept wellst night?"


    " Oh, She did¡­"


    Minmin was about to say something, but Cai Yixue red at her, making her silent instantly.


    " It was alright. Hurry up and eat the breakfast."


    Cai Yixue spoke. Jia Hao was surprised and felt the fragrance of the buns and soup was much better.


    " Ah, You used the sauces I gavest night?" Jia Hao was pleasantly surprised as he tasted the soup.


    " Ahh, This tastes so good. Much better than before." Jia Hao nodded as he passed the buns to Cai Yixue. " You eat too, Wife."


    " I have already sent some of our guards to watch Zhu Wuya. Just a few moments ago, I got the news that he already walked out of his house."


    Finishing his breakfast, Jia Hao woke up. " Then how about we split up? You have an authority over the Cai Family. Therefore, It''s suitable for you to face Zhu Wuya."


    " What about you?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with curiosity.


    " I am going to dig out the hidden stash of Zhu Wuya." Jia Hao grinned.


    As he left, Cai Yixue red at Minmin.


    " Were you really going totell him that I identally hugged him to sleep and crushed his face with my breasts?"


    " Noo! Young Lady, Forgive me! No! Don''t tickle me!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Zhu Wuya wore a ck cloak as he looked around before entering a small shop.


    " Ah, Dear patron, You have arrived." The man serving tea smiled as he looked at him.


    " How can I help you?"


    " I want the finest tea. I think I ordered it a few days ago." Zhu Wuya spoke in a low voice. The man nodded as he ced a jade bottle on the table.


    Zhu Wuya opened and took a sniff, nodding with satisfaction. " Indeed, this is genuine."


    " Well, You know the market price. 50,000 taels of gold."


    " Can''t you lessen it a bit?" Zhu Wuya grumbled. " 50,000 Taels are a lot."


    " Mr. Zhu, You know our business. Beside, I am sure Mr. Zhu can easily afford this bottle of pills."


    " Whatever." Zhu Wuya snorted as he took out a stack of thousand taels gold bills from his pocket. As he was about to pass it to the man, the door suddenly burst.


    " Zhu Wuya, You really thought you wouldn''t get caught one day?" Cai Yixue snorted as she walked into the shop.


    Zhu Wuya''s eyelid shrank when he saw Cai Yixue. The man standing before him suddenly grabbed the gold bills as he turned around to escape. However, a row of guards appeared outside the backdoor of the shop, blocking his path.


    " What is the meaning of this, Young Lady Cai?" Zhu Wuya spoke in a cold voice.


    " Are you still asking for a reason?" Cai Yixue snorted. " But then, before you say you are innocent, let me dere your crime."


    " Zhu Wuya, You havemitted fraud and took arge amount of Cai Family''s fund into your pocket. You manipted the ount books and stole the money of Cai Family."


    " Do you want to hear more?"


    " Young Lady Cai, That''s some serious usations." Zhu Wuya sneered. " How can you use me, who has been a loyal subject of Cai Family?"


    " Loyal or not, We shall know it in the Family Trial." Cia Yixue spoke in a cold voice. " Guards, Arrest him!"


    " Hmph! Let''s see!" Zhu Wuya steeled his heart as he didn''t resist, as he knew it would be futile.


    '' This damned bitch, How did she know I would being here? Besides, why have none of my informers informed me about my arrest?''


    '' I don''t think they would have found any real evidence. Trying to look for ounting errors amidst that mountain of ount books? Impossible!''


    Thinking about various possibilities, Zhu Wuya felt a bit relieved as he followed Cai Yixue back to the Cai Family estate.


    The main hall of the Cai Family waspletely packed, with Cai Yunhai sitting on the chair of the patriarch.


    Zhu Wuya fell on his knees as he showed his shackles. " My lord! This is injustice! Is this how a loyal man who has been serving the Cai Family for decades is treated?"


    " What happened? What is this fuss?" Cai Yunhai asked in a mild voice,


    " Patriarch Cai, Zhu Wuya has been found guilty of money embezzlement. Manipting the ount books, he has been looting thousands and thousands of taels of gold from our treasury." Cai Yixue cupped her fist as she spoke.


    " How is that possible?"


    " Mr. Zhu has been working for us. Such usations are very serious!"


    " Young Lady Cai, Are you sure?"


    Zhu Wuya knocked his head on the floor. " Patriarch Cai, I have not done a single thing which would harm the Cai Family. But why am I getting this treatment?"


    " Is this the justice, the benevolence of Cai Family?"


    " Zhu Wuya, Since Yixue arrested you, I believe she has valid reasons for her im." Cia Yunhai spoke calmly.


    " Yixue, Do you have any proofs?"


    " I do, Patriarch Cai." Cai Yixue didn''t flinch as she pped. Suddenly, a few servants bought out some ount books and presented them before everyone.


    " I have brought five ount books as a sample." Casually opening a page, Cai Yixue pointed at the marked section.


    " The elders who are not blind, I hope you would check them and match them with the expenses."


    Zhu Wuya''s expression changed when he saw Cai Yixue actually found the errors in the ounting books.


    His back was drenched with sweat as he hurriedly looked at the elders who also took bribes from him.


    " This¡­This is true¡­"


    " Goodness, The difference here is more than twenty thousand taels."


    " This¡­"


    Many elders'' expressions changed when they saw the amount of money Zhu Wuya pocketed. Even those who received bribes couldn''t help but bite their tongues.


    '' This bastard, just how much he took?''

 Chapter 61: Treasure Finder

    " My lord! This¡­This is a conspiracy! Yes, it must be!"


    Zhu Wuya shouted, realizing that he couldn''t escape from this case since there were cold, hard proofs of his corruption before everyone.


    " It must be my damned servant! That bastard! What a snake!" Zhu Wuya knelt before Cai Yunhai as his voice became more and more pitiful.


    Even Cai Yixue had to admit that Zhu Wuya''s acting capabilities could put even professional actors to shame.


    " Patriarch Cai, We must investigate this matter. The money embezzlement is far too great."


    " However, We can''t neglect the chance that someone might be trying to frame Zhu Wuya."


    Another old geezer chimed in. " Yes! We can''t rule out the fact that Zhu Wuya''s assistant was the one doing the corruption and pushed Zhu Wuya''s name on the top."


    Cai Yixue''s lips twitched as she could see some elders still trying to find leeway for Zhu Wuya. However, the number of voices supporting Zhu Wuya already decreased by ?.


    " Well, If that''s the case, then the money should be with your servant, right?" Cai Yixue suddenly spoke.


    " Then how a person like you got 50,000 taels of gold to purchase Body Strengthening Pill for your son?"


    " Th-That''s¡­" Zhu Wuya was stumped when he heard that question. Everyone in the hall became silent when they heard that.


    " Damn it, This bastard!"


    " He actually purchased Body Strengthening Pills?"


    Many of them couldn''t help but be envious when they heard that. They had to use their few years of savings to purchase such medicines. Yet, Zhu Wuya already spent it in secret?


    " I¡­ Yes, I purchased it. But that''s because I saved money and borrowed some from my wife''s house." Zhu Wuya gritted his teeth as he exined.


    " You can''t me me for caring about my son! Which parents don''t want to see their children grow?"


    " Indeed, What Zhu Wuya said is valid."


    " I support him. We should clearly investigate this case."


    ''Fuck! I need to escape no matter what. At least if I got away now, I could easily arrange a scapegoat. After that, I would simply resign. Yes, That''s it.''


    " Without any more proof, It''s impossible to fully believe that Zhu Wuya is corrupted."


    An elder spoke as he bowed before Cai Yunhai.


    " I beseech Patriarch Cai to not give any hasty judgment."


    " What proof more do you want?"


    " But there isn''t no proof that says Zhu Wuya has been using his corruption money other than this!"


    Although the number of people who supported Zhu Wuya became smaller, their voices remained vocal.


    " Well, well¡­ Since Elder Zhu already spent all his life savings, there shouldn''t be any more money inyour house, right?"


    A voice startled everyone as they looked at the entrance of the hall. Seeing a handsome young man wearing a white linen robe walking into the hall, with Old Yang escorting him.


    " Son in Law?"


    " Young Lord Jia?"


    When Zhu Wuya saw the fox like grin on Jia Hao''s face, he felt an ominous foreboding.


    " What? Did I say anything wrong?" Jia Hao asked again, making Zhu Wuya regain his thoughts.


    " Of-Of course¡­ I spent arge amount of money this time, so¡­ There might be some shortage of funds in our house." Zhu Wuya spoke lightly.


    " I see¡­Then how about this thing? Do you remember anything?" Jia Hao''s grin became wide, like a devil''s grin when he saw Zhu Wuya lying.


    Zhu Wuya''s pupils diter and his legs became limp. Because he saw the guards behind Old Yang carrying out three big trunks, which were made from precious wood.


    " How¡­How is that possible?"


    Falling on his knees, Zhu Wuya''s mind buzzed and his body turned icy cold. How could he not recognize the box? It was something which was dear than his own life after all.


    But his mind only rang with one question. How Jia Hao find it?


    .


    .


    .


    .


    An hour ago.


    " Haah, Young Master Jia, I think you shoulde to the training area. Horse riding is an essential skill yet you didn''t learn it yet." Old Yang sighed as Jia Hao sat behind him.


    " Oh, Don''t worry about that, Uncle Yang. I will surely learn it." Jia Hao replied with nonchnce, making Old Yang speechless.


    '' Damn it, Even if you are a schr, you are now married to a military n. Shouldn''t you show a bit of manliness and valor?''


    Old Yang mumbled inwardly as he led a group of guards.


    " We have arrived. This estate belongs to Zhu Wuya."


    Looking at the giant estate, Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort. " Living near the market area and having such a big estate, he really gobbled a load of money."


    " He said that it was given by his wife''s family." Old Yang spoke.


    " Really? That sounds like a crap." Jia Haoughed as he looked at a health guard.


    " Go ahead and kick that door." Jia Haomanded, making the guards speechless.


    They truly didn''t understand why Old Yang would follow their new yet frail son inw to raid Zhu Wuya''s house. However, no matter what, they had to follow the orders.


    " Halt! Who are you!"


    " How dare you to cause a ruckus here?!"


    Some servants and guards of Zhu Wuya''s manor rushed, but the guard of the Cai Family was pretty fast. With a swift kick, he broke the gate as Jia Hao walked inside.


    Raising a token, Jia Hao''s voice boomed.


    '' IRS! OPEN UP!''


    Resisting the urge to say that, he changed it.


    " I am Jia Hao and carrying the Insignia of the Cai Family. By the name of the Patriarch Cai, we havee here to check the house!"


    Despite his looks, Jia Hao''s voice was loud and imposing, making everyone look at the insignia reflecting sunlight in his hands. As his words fell, the guards of the Cai Family broke into the estate and surrounded it.


    " Young Lord! I am Old Ma, the head steward of thai manor." An old man hurried to Jia Hao and bowed.


    " There must be some misunderstanding! Why must you¡­"


    " Why must we?" Jia Hao snorted. " Your lord Zhu Wuya is suspected of embezzling the Cai Family''s treasury. On the behalf of the patriarch, I havee here to search for the money of corruption."


    " Bu-But!"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath and shouted once again. " Those who don''tply, kill without mercy!"


    Old Ma was about to say something, but hearing Jia Hao, he shut his mouth.


    As Old Yang ordered the guards to search, Jia Hao sat in the courtyard, bathing in the sunlight. He had to admit, the sun in Yun continent is much more fierce than Azure Sea World.


    '' No wonder I felt so tired and dizzy when I came here first time. If I hadn''t eaten the Crimson Vigor Pill, I couldn''t have stayed here more than a day.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    After a while, the guards piled all the money they found before Jia Hao, making his eyelid twitch.


    " Only seven thousand taels of gold and fifteen thousand taels of silver?" Jia Hao looked at Old Yang.


    " And, My lord¡­Here is the ount book. All these are his money earned through Cai Family''s wages and other methods." Steward Ma presented Jia Hao with a small booklet, but Jia Hao didn''t touch it.


    Old Yang leaned toward Jia Hao and whispered. " I personally checked everything. We couldn''t find anything like hidden gold."


    Jia Hao snorted when he heard that. " If you could find it, it wouldn''t be called hidden treasury."


    Getting up, Jia Hao picked a long, thin grass and put it i n his mouth.


    " Come with me. Today, this young master shall show you the true art of treasure finding."

 Chapter 62: Killing With A Single Punch

    When Jia Hao entered the bedroom, he felt a resentful gaze from a woman. " Are you Zhu Wuya''s wife?"


    " Young Lord is right." Thedy lowered her gaze and cupped her fist. However, Jia Hao remained calm and collected as he activated his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    " Do not resent me, Madame. Resent your husband who bit the hands which fed him."


    " My husband is innocent!"


    " We shall know shortly." Jia Hao chuckled as he looked around the room.


    '' The entrance of the hidden room should be here. As for how to ess it, there must be a switch to trigger it.''


    '' Hmm, In movies, such switches are either books or statues. Statues¡­Eh? A frog?"


    As opening and closing the cupboards, Jia Hao noticed a from inside a small drawer, symbolizing a fengshui frog. It looked simple and without any issues.


    But, Jia Hao saw something different.


    [ Iron Frog: A switch mechanism to open the hidden cer. The protector of hidden wealth]


    Suppressing his excitement, Jia Hao calmly walked to the Iron Frog and studied it. Suddenly, he moved itwithout hesitation.


    Then, a light sound of stone grinding alerted everyone. Old Yang''s expression changed as he shouted. " Move the bed! Move bed fast!"


    As the guards moved the bed, they were surprised to find a small hole opened beneath the bed.


    " Well, I told you all." Jia Hao shrugged. " No need, I will be going first."


    " But Young Master, This might be dangerous!" Old Yang stepped forward. " Let me do it."


    " I said I will be fine." Jia Haoughed. " Have trust in me, will you?"


    Saying that, he followed the narrow stairs and walked down. Entering the cer, Jia Hao could feel a light wave of fresh air, showing that there are venttion system inside the vault.


    And before himy three huge crates, along with many boxes on the shelf. As Jia Hao opened the crates, he unsurprisingly found stacks of gold taels lying cold in them.


    As he checked the other boxes on the shelf, he found jewelry, ivory, jades, crystals and other trinkets.


    Lifting the smallest crate, Jia Hao dumped it into his Pot of Miracles. After all, he should reward himself after so much hard work, right?


    Walking back, Jia Hao called out to Old Yang.


    " Old Yang,e down and yourself."


    As Jia Hao got out, Old Yang and two other guards entered the vault. When they saw the crates full of gold, they couldn''t help but curse aloud.


    " Fuck! This son of bitch!"


    " Heavens! How much money had he amassed?"


    " Bastard!"


    When they carried out the crates, the entire Zhu Estate plunged into chaos. Jia Hao looked at the crates and found around 250,000 taels of gold. If add the other treasures, the value would definitely surpass 350,000 Taels of gold without a doubt.


    As for how much money Jia Hao took, it was just a bit above 100,000 taels. So there are no issues."


    '' Not to mention, there is an ount book hidden inside my crate. Hehe, I can even take more money from the people Zhu Wuya had bribed.'' Jia Hao grinned, making Old Yang and the other guards shudder.


    They never expected their frail looking son inw would be so fierce! With a single wave of his hands, he dispersed the mist and found the hidden stash of gold!


    " En, seize the property and arrest everyone in this estate." Jia Hao''s voice was cid.


    " Also, distribute 200 taels of gold to each guard who came with me."


    " Young master?" But this money¡­" Old Yang was about to say that it was Cai Family''s, but Jia Hao waved his hand.


    " No need to bother. Just take it as a treat to for following me."


    200 taels of gold are like three years worth sry. All the guards couldn''t help but clench their fist in excitement.


    " We thank Son in Law for generosity!"


    " We thank Young Master Jia!"


    " En, no need to worry. Just grab the crates and follow me back to the Cai Family."


    Suddenly, everyone felt the young man with grass in his mouth looked very imposing.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " And this is the money we found in the hidden vault inside Zhu Wuya''s bedroom." Jia Hao spoke.


    " Now, Why don''t you say this is your servant''s money, Hm?


    " Or¡­Are you going to tell us that your servant was sleeping with your wife in your bedroom?"


    The crowd hissed at Jia Hao''s venomous remarks. Even Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but click his tongue. However, soon it was reced with a cold voice.


    " Zhu Wuya! Are you still going to refuse?"


    " Patriarch Cai¡­"


    " Silence!"


    Cai Yunhai''s voice thundered, making everyone''s heart quiver with paramount fear.


    " Zhu Wuya, You think I didn''t know that you have been embezzling money?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " But I let it go because as a financier, It''smon to pocket a bit of money!"


    " However, not only did you misuse the family funds, but you took suchrge chunks for yourself. You even pocketed the money which was supposed to be the wages of the soldiers of Cai Family!"


    " Bastard! Is this the result of the Cai Family treating you well?!"


    " Jia Hao, you did well. If it wasn''t for you to warn Yixue, I wouldn''t have known that I am raising a snake in my house." Cai Yunhai spoke in a mild voice.


    " It was my honor, Patriarch." Jia Hao cupped his fist.


    Suddenly, Zhu Wuya understood everything. He understood why Cai Yixue was able to find the problematic ount books, Why his hidden vault got discovered, Why he fell to this state!


    All because of Jia Hao!


    A surge of anger and resentment rose in his heart, realizing that there is no escape. Jia Hao felt a surge of dark emotions in Zhu Wuya''s heart, making his lips curl.


    " What is it, Zhu Wuya? Feeling resentment? You shouldn''t have taken so much money in the first ce." Jia Hao spoke in a taunting voice.


    " But your wife was so young¡­It would be a shame to see her circumstances after you are gone."


    " Bastard! If I am going down, I will take you with me!" Zhu Wuya turned around as his eyes already turned bloodshot. A metallic glint shed in his hands, making everyone rmed.


    " Jia Hao!"


    Cai Yixue''s face turned pale as she shouted. Old Yang also rushed to save Jia Hao, but Zhu Wuya was standing too close to Jia Hao, giving nobody the time to push him away.


    However, instead of fear, Zhu Wuya noticed Jia Hao''s eyes turning resplendent as his lips curled even more.


    " In case you haven''t noticed, you have fallen right into my trap."


    Raising his fist, Jia Hao gathered all his strength as he utilized a basic move of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.


    *BOOOM!*


    The small dagger flung far as Zhu Wuya''s body flew like a sack of rice, with blood spurting from his mouth. With a punch, Jia Hao shattered his ribs, almost crushing his heart.


    Blood pooled in his mouth as Zhu Wuya tried to struggle, but Cia Yunhai waved his hands, making no one approach him.


    " He sinned against the Cai Family. Let him die like that."


    As Zhu Wuya took thest breath, a surge of crimson and ck smog lunged toward Jia Hao, fusing with his seed of desire and expanding it.

    Note: I am trying to post 2 chapters per day because this work isn''t popr at all, I am kinda mid author but well...Lets''s die while trying.

 Chapter 63: Phoenix Cloud Pavilion

    " Jia Hao!"


    " Son in Law!"


    Old Yang rushed to Jia Hao and checked on him worriedly. " Young Master, Are you alright?"


    " Of course I am alright." Jia Haoughed. " What could have happened to me?"


    However, His mind remained focused to Zhu Wuya whose eys slowly lost their light. One could see an extreme unwillingness on his face as he looked at Jia Hao.


    But Jia Hao only gave him a smile of sympathy and pity as he showed him a middle finger.


    '' Go fuck yourself, You old bastard!'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    The moment Zhu Wuya died, the surge of negative energy increased as Jia Hao flet he was absorbing a corporeal energy rather than just emotions.


    His seed of desires devoured it greedily as it slowly grew in size. However, he became surprised when he saw two cards slowly appeared on the corpse of Zhu Wuya.


    '' No way! So¡­This is what the pot means absorbing soul and vital energy?''


    '' Wait, Does that mean absorbing the soul, I can also absorb the skills of the people I have killed?''


    '' Is that''s way too much?''


    However, Jia Hao realized that none of the skills of Zhu Wuya were appeasing to him. After all, his mathematical knowledge and Sage''s Divine Eyes were powerful than his ounting Talent.


    And it terms of being a smooth talker, Jia Hao is simply unmatched.


    " How is it possible that Zhu Wuya managed to conceal a small dagger in his body?" Cai Yixue''s voice became cold as she looked at the guards.


    " Did you not check him at all? What if something had happened?!"


    The guards who arrested and brought Zhu Wuya here became silent. However, Jia Hao waved his hand.


    " It''s alright, What happened, happened. Now we should focus on the future."


    " Indeed, Little Jia is right." Cai Yunhai sighed as he looked at the corpse.


    " Take away this disgusting thing. Confesticate his family property and banish them thousand miles in south."


    Jia Hao sighed inwardly when he heard that. No matter what, Zhu Wuya worked in Cai Family for a long time. If it was someone else, their entire n would have been ughtered.


    However, Cai Yunhai merely giving them banishment, at least giving them a chance to live.


    As his corpse was taken and the floor cleaned, Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " Hao''er, I believe such an embezzlement, Zhu Wuya couldn''t have pulled it alone. What do you think?"


    " I believe the same, Patriarch Cai." Jia Hao spoke as his lips curled into a grin. " I am trying to find the ount book which listed everyone who took bribes from Zhu Wuya. When we get that¡­"


    Hearing Jia Hao''s words, many elders of the Cai Family flinched as their backs drenched in sweat.


    " However, I believe they were certainly tricked by Zhu Wuya, getting blinded by money and greed for a moment. I believe they are still loyal to the Cai Family."


    " Hence, We should give them a way out."


    " What does the elders think?"


    Seeing Jia Hao facing them, the elders nodded profusely.


    " Son in Law Jia is benevolent!"


    " Indeed! During such times, we shouldn''t have any internal conflicts. We should stand strong together."


    " Son in Law''s vision is far sighted."


    '' These old geezers.'' Cai Yixue almost spat from cringe when she saw their actions. However, she was also curious why Jia Hao letting them off the hook.


    " However, As they did some crime, they should also do attonment." Jia Hao added as he looked at Patriarch Cai.


    " How about we create an attonment box? In this box, the elders shall put half of their ck money anonymously. The identity of them shall remain hidden."


    " But¡­ If the box doesn''t meet the required target¡­We can always find the ount book."


    Cai Yunhai was momentarily stunned before bursting into loudughter.


    " Hahahah! Good! Good Son in Law! What a good idea!"


    Standing up, Cia Yunhai nodded. " Deploy this idea. I am giving everyone five days of time. I don''t care who you are and how much have you taken."


    " However, If the box doesn''t meet the quota¡­Hehe, I hope everyone knows about Cai Family''s strict discipline."


    Saying that, he turned around and walked away. However, before passing Jia Hao, he patted his shoulder.


    " En, Good Job, Hao''er. I shall remember this always."


    Jia Hao smiled as he saw a wave of bright yellow thread of happiness and gratitudeing from Cai Yunhai''s heart and absorbed by him.


    He also got another wave from Old Yang and his wife, Cai Yixue. However, he felt he had seen it wrong when he saw a tint of pink mixed with Cai Yixue''s gratitude.


    Nheless, the most energy he absorbed after killing Zhu Wuya was the pure emotion of shock from the spectators.


    After all, they were simply awed and envious by Jia Hao''s momentum, and how easily he managed to solve Zhu Wuya''s problem.


    " Hiss! I thought he was only a mortal schr! Howe he killed Zhu Wuya in a single punch?"


    " Damn it! It looks like he is truly pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."


    " Come with me, Right now!"


    Hearing Cia Yixue''smand, Jia Hao''s imposing demeanor crumbled as he wagged his tail before going after her.


    " As you say, Dear Wife."


    Cai Yixue''s ears turned red as she hurriedly dragged Jia Hao out.


    " Are you really alright? Damn it, Why did you stand so close to him?"


    Cai Yixue couldn''t help but berate him. Jia Hao grinned when he saw Cai Yixue was concerned about him.


    " Well, My wife, Didn''t you see? Your husband is pretty powerful."


    " Hmm, You really killed a Ninth stage Body Tempering Realm practitioner with a punch, hm?" Cai Yixue looked at him.


    " Not bad. I guess along with Crimson Vigor Pill, you have been practicing well."


    " Hehe, Will I receive any reward for my performance?" Jia Hao raised his eyebrows as he slowly pushed Cai Yixue into a corner.


    " Reward? What sort of reward do you want?" Cai Yixue''s voice quivered as she looked around in a slight panic.


    " How about tonight¡­"


    " Youngdy? Young Lady, where are you?"


    Suddenly, hearing Minmin, Cai Yixue pushed Jia Hao away as she adjusted her robes.


    " Hmph, What a rogue."


    Cai Yixue spat out. " Besides¡­ You are free to go around anywhere you want today. Take it as¡­reward."


    " Anywhere I want?" Jia Hao became confused. " Where am I supposed to go?"


    " Hmph, Don''t you think I don''t know you were lingering around Phoenix Cloud Pavilion?" Cai Yixue snorted.


    " What''s that?" Jia Hao became even more confused.


    " Yo-You!"


    Cai Yixue became both surprised and a bit angry when she heard Jia Hao acting ignorant. Weren''t all the men want to spend the night there? What''s with Jia Hao?


    Without saying anything, Cai Yixue stomped her feet and walked away, leaving an oblivious Jia Hao.


    As he suddenly saw Old Yanging out, Jia Hao walked towards him.


    " Old Yang, Do you know what Phoenix Cloud Pce is?"


    " Wh-What?!"


    Old Yang became rmed as he almost covered Jia Hao''s mouth. " Young Master, How can you speak that aloud?"


    " What happened? Is this some taboo ce?" Jia Hao looked at him.


    " Of course." Old Yang became speechless.


    " It''s the most famous brothel of Nanhai City."

 Chapter 64: Finding The Whereabout

    Jia Hao''s expression turned strange when he realized what sort of ce Phoenix Cloud Pavilion was.


    '' Eh? So my wife really gave permission to go there? Why? Because I have not consummated my marriage with her?''


    Jia Hao could see the train of her thoughts. After all, she doesn''t want to bebeled as a wife who deprived her husband of the physical pleasure of women.


    However, she was also not ready to give her body to Jia Hao. So, the only thing she can do is to allow Jia Hao to go to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion.


    " Well, Does¡­Anyone else from our household goes?" Jia Hao asked in a low voice.


    " Many elders go in the weekend." Old Yang answered in a simr low voice.


    " What about Father in Law?"


    " He¡­" Old Yang hesitated. " Why should he go to such a ce?"


    " Really?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at Old Yang skeptically.


    " Well¡­" Old Yang looked around as he whispered " One year ago, Patriarch slipped to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    " Then?"


    " After that, Madame Li¡­ I don''t know anything particr." Old Yang was about to say something but refrained.


    " Everything got restricted for Patriarch for six months. Now, if someone utters the name of Phoenix Cloud Pavlion, Patriarch would beat him up."


    '' Damn, Is my Mother in Law that fierce?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh.


    No matter how powerful a man bes, his wife truly bes his bane at home.


    " Why do you ask, Young Lord?" Old Yang looked at Jia Hao with suspicious gaze.


    " What? I am just gathering some information. That''s all." Jia Hao shrugged as he turned around, walking away.


    " Haah, It''s good to be young." Old Yang sighed as he saw him leaving.


    Jia Hao''s mind raced with many possibilities as he walked our from the Cai Family mansion.


    '' Well, Now I have reached Earthen Organ Stage, I can easily sprint to the city easily.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly as he took a deep breath and started to jog.


    In fifteen minutes, he reached Nanhai City streets without breaking much sweat. Looking at his body, Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction.


    '' Not bad. My physical condition really improved a lot.'' Jia Hao looked at the bustling market as he strolled in the streets. However, unknowingly, he came near the Fragrant Medicine Store.


    " Ugh! That damned beast! What a bad day it was."


    " Hehe, Ol'' He, You should be grateful to the heavens that it''s only a minor injury. Otherwise, the ck Ointment of Fragrant Medicine Store wouldn''t have helped you."


    Jia Hao saw one injured hunter walking with the support of another. However, seeing the injured hunter, Jia Hao''s mind stirred as he thought of a thing.


    '' Wait, If that Moonlight Rapist was severely injured, then he would have sought medicine to heal himself, no? But on the other hand, there is no way he would appear directly as the City Guards have spies nted everywhere.''


    '' A ce which is out of suspicion¡­And easily avable medicine¡­No, he wouldn''t have relied on a single medicine store.''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt his brain was much clearer when he was thinking about such things. He realized that after the Earthen Organ Stage, his brain was also tempered by the flow of energy, making all his neurons hyperactivate.


    Although he didn''t feel much upgrade in his vision as he already had Sage''s Divine Eyes, his other senses were sharpened even more.


    Especially when Zhu Wuya attacked him, Jia Hao''s brain processed everything so fast that he felt his attack pretty slow. In the meantime, he had already picked which move to use to counterattack and poured all his energy into his.


    That and his Sage''s Divine Eyes found a weak spot and Jia Hao delivered a fatal strike.


    '' I really didn''t want to kill him. But in panic, I squeezed all my strength. Besides, I think he has gotten old so¡­Well, He died so who cares¡­''


    Thinking about that, Jia Hao walked to the Fragrant Medicine Store.


    When Pharmacist Mo heard Jia Hao came to the store, he personally walked to greet him.


    " Ah, Young Master Jia, It''s good to see you here."


    " Elder Mo, No need for pleasantries. I am here to inquire about something." Jia Hao sat before him as he spoke.


    " What is it, Young Master Jia? I will definitely help you." Pharmacist Mo nodded.


    " Have you heard about the Moonlight Rapist getting injured and might be staying somewhere in Nanhai City?"


    " I have heard. The City Guards informed all the medicine stores to remain alert in case of any theft of rare medicines." Pharmacist Mo nodded.


    " As far as I know, his right arm was injured along with his dantian. So, he might need some special and aged medicinal herbs at this moment."


    " However, I believe there is also a chance he already escaped from the city. Otherwise, the City Guards would have caught him till now."


    Hearing Pharmacist Mo, Jia Hao grasped the situation even better. " But, He is injured, no? How could he have gone outside without any suspicion?"


    " Hmm, That''s also true."


    Jia Hao suddenly thought of something. " Then, Assume he wants to heal himself at home. What sort of medicines he would need?"


    " For example, A two hundred year Blood Lingzhi, a century oldSpotted Condopsis Root, A century old Azure Light Flower, and¡­" Pharmacist Mo gave a list.


    " And after that, take small portions of them and prepare some ointment to apply outside and a soup to drink. These herbs are very rare and expensive and our store only has a few."


    " And even if he takes all of them, it will take at least two months before he recovers."


    " Then, May I see if any of these herbs were sold past fifteen days?" Jia Hao asked. Pharmacist Mo nodded as he called the receptionist with the ount book.


    Sure enough, someone paid more than 10,000 taels of gold and purchased a century old Spotten Condopsis Roots. And it was sold twice inst month.


    " One was from our regr customer Mr. Ning. He is a merchant and he has been purchasing the root once in every two months sincest year." The receptionist replied.


    " As for the other one¡­She was a woman wearing expensive jewelry. She said it was for her¡­Child, I think?"


    " She was a middle aged woman holding a basket of vegetables and meat."


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he heard that. It aligned with a theory he thought earlier.


    Disguise.


    After knowing the description of the woman, Jia Hao nodded as he turned around before rushing away.


    There are three main medicinal stores with rare herbs. Excluding Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, There should be Purple Pine Store and Xian Medicinal Pavilion.


    '' If my guess is correct, that woman must have gone to these ces together with other ingredients.''


    Checking one by one, and bribing the receptionists and ountants a a few hundred taels of gold, Jia Hao got the information he wanted.


    And behold! It was the same middle aged woman who purchased the two century old Blood Lingzhi and Azure Light Flower!


    '' That bastard! He is here!'' Jia Hao''s mind raced as he formed a map of Nanhai City.


    '' Now thest question. Where is he hiding?''

 Chapter 65: Deducing The Hideout

    As he was strolling around the three medicinal stores, Jia Hao already formed a mental map of the surrounding cityscape around him.


    He realized that the Moonlight Rapist was someone who got courage and skills. Since he is confident in his disguise ability, he might be roaming on the streets right now.


    '' It''s also a mockery to the City Guards who didn''t see through his disguise yet. He would be so proud when he realized no one could see through his disguise.''


    '' But the thing is¡­ Where is he living?''


    '' If I was the criminal and injured, but not afraid of getting caught¡­ I would stay near the main city streets where I can easily get ess to food and medicine.''


    '' I think the earliest purchase of medicine was only two days after the incident happened, and it was Xian Medicinal Pavilion. That means he must be living near its vicinity!''


    Jia Hao clenched his fist in excitement as he narrowed down the living area of that criminal. Without dying a second, Jia Hao turned around and rushed towards the Xian Medicinal Pavilion.


    '' A ce which should be out of suspicion. Even after it''s checked¡­ Is it an inn? I mean, he can disguise herself¡­''


    '' No, An Middle aged woman going to an inn alone might create a little rumor. Then¡­What about a small living courtyard? He has enough money after all.''


    While asking some locals, Jia Hao marked a few residential areas as he checked them one by one. While checking, Jia Hao kept both his Sage''s Divine Eyes and the seed of desire active.


    He used the seed of desire as a radar because, Who was Moonlight Rapist? A notorious criminal who did so many heinous crimes.


    Even looking from afar, Jia Hao could sense the surge of ck negative emotions around him like a beacon.


    Not to mention, if he was lucky, the Sage''s Divine Eyes would reveal his information. But to that, he needs to find him first.


    As he navigated through the streets, Jia Hao suddenly felt a wisp of ck auraing from a small household. He didn''t rush there first as he walked casually to a neighbor.


    " That house?"


    A man spoke when he heard Jia Hao''s question. " It was empty around a month ago, I guess? But now, only a Middle aged man and his wife are living there."


    " I only saw husband once. But his wife goes out for groceries and medicines once in a few days."


    '' Bingo!''


    Jia Hao thanked that man before looking back at the house. Without dying a second, he slowly walked to the house.


    Knocking on the door softly, it took quite some time before a middle aged woman opened it. Looking at Jia Hao with sunken eyes, she asked in a genuine feminine tone.


    " Yes? Who are you?"


    " Eh? I thought Mr. Yan was living here?" Jia Hao asked in surprise. " Do you know where Mr. Yan lives here?"


    " Sorry, I don''t know." She shook her head as she turned around.


    " Ah, I am sorry for bothering you." Jia Hao smiled as he turned around and heard the sound of the door closing.


    However, he already got the information he wanted.


    [ Name: Hong Chao]


    [ Age: 46]


    [Remark: Mid stage of Profound Awakening Realm, possess Dark attribute Qi. The notorious Moonlight Rapist]


    [ Recent Future Point: After the heavy injuries healed after seven days, he would depart from Nanhai City, escaping sessfully under City Guard''s nose]


    '' Hahaha! What luck! This bastard is hiding right here!'' Jia Hao snorted.


    He really wanted to rush and kill him right here, but he controlled his urges.


    '' Calm down¡­ He won''t be leaving here for seven days. Therefore, I can kill him after making a better n.''


    He had not forgotten that Hong Chao is still a Mid stage Profound Awakening Realm. So, Jia Hao needs to be careful. After all, he doesn''t know how powerful Hong Chao actually is.


    '' But¡­If he is injured and not expecting an attack¡­Maybe I can ambush him?''


    However, as fast as the thought came, Jia Hao shook his head. He decided to maintain caution. Besides, he had an ample amount of time to prepare.


    Giving the house ast look, Jia Hao turned around and left casually. Not long after he left, the window of that house slowly creaked close.


    '' It didn''t look like he was an official. Maybe I am just imagining things.'' Hong Chao thought inwardly.


    '' That damned bastard! Only if I wasn''t injured like this. Once I recover, I will fuck that bastard''s wife and daughter.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Strolling around the streets for a bit, Jia Hao decided to explore Nanhai City even more. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a store, which looked like selling weapons.


    Walking there curiously, Jia Hao saw there were swords and sabers hung outside, each looked pristine and sharp.


    However, looking at their description with Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao shook his head in disappointment.


    '' Although the forging technique is good, the wrought iron weaponry had too little carbon content in it. This sword is sharp for now, but it will get worn out soon.''


    But then, modern day forging is way too advanced for this era. Not to mention, powerful internal qi and martial arts wouldpensate for an ordinary weapon.


    '' Ah, I remember something. Doesn''t the Cai Family have some smithies where they produce weapons? I should check them.''


    Although he had a hundred thousand taels of gold in his pocket, Jia Hao couldn''t be satisfied with this.


    " A fresh batch of silk robes! Niu Family''s famous silk clothes are here!"


    " Only starting from two thousand taels of silver per chi! And if you want to pick our new yellow dye silk, it will cost six thousand taels of silver!"


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he heard the hawking. The clothing store was certainly bustling as Silk Clothes are very high in demand.


    In Jia Hao''s eyes, the radiance and sharpness of the color weren''t good. But since it''s ancient times, the color dyes are very rare andplicated to make.


    '' Not to mention, they don''t have any idea of the color chart. There are only four colors that are being sold. ck, White, Red, and that pale Yellow.''


    He remembered how the Niu Family tried to sabotage him and the Cai Family back then. And he is sure that they were going to mess during the City Magistrate Selection too.


    '' Niu Family, Huh? You better don''t give me a chance to find any loose ends, else I would do my best to ruin you.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    As he already spent his afternoon strolling around and the sun finally set, bringing forth the evening, Jia Hao finally got into a carriage.


    " Take me to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."

 Chapter 66: Six Flowers and Three Pearls

    " Wee, Wee to our humble abode. Young Master."


    Before Jia Hao could say anything, a woman wearing makeup and a yellow dress already dragged her into the building.


    " Young Master, Is this your first time here?" The woman looked at Jia Hao with enthusiasm.


    " Hehe, Beautiful sister is wise. I am new to the city and heard the fame of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. So, I couldn''t help bute here." Jia Hao smiled lightly.


    " Ah, then Young Master heard right about us. There is no ce in Nanhai City that can match our Phoenix Cloud Pavilion." The woman spoke in a proud voice.


    " Only the Fragrant Pce of Capital City is something which can rival us."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao casually took out a few taels of gold and passed them to the woman.


    " Then, Beautiful Sister, I hope you will give me a good tour around here."


    cing the gold taels in her pouch, the woman''s smile became wider. She wasn''t that good looking, but she certainly managed to cover her shorings with her attire and mannerisms.


    '' It looks like it''s his first time visiting a brothel. Hehe, Just talking to him and he handed me five taels of gold. It''s one month of my sry!'' Little Mi became excited.


    " As you wish, Young Master. Please follow me. My name is Little Mi and I shall be your guide this evening."


    " Xiao Mi?" Jia Hao suddenly spoke.


    " Yes, Young Master?" Little Mi looked at Jia Hao with attention.


    " Oh, Nothing. I just thought about something."Jia Hao suppressed his urge tough as he nodded.


    Giving him a nce, Little Mi turned around and walked. " There are a lot of ces to visit in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    " For example, In the northern room, there is a y ongoing where four of our beautiful courteseans perform a song."


    " In the southern hall, One of our Six Flowers Miss Luan is showcasing her amazing pipa skills."


    " The upper floor is for meeting and eating. Our Phoenix Cloud Pavilions'' Rice Cloud Wine is very famous. Young Master should try it along with roasted meat."


    " Well, Then where I can employ personal pleasure service?" Jia Hao asked with an amused voice.


    " Hehe, Young Master is getting impatient, are you?" Little Mi giggled. " Since it''s your first time, I should give the standards of courteseans here."


    " There are four types of women here. Maids, Courteseans, Six Flowers and Three Pearls."


    " Uhh, Let me guess, The three Pearls are simply untouchables? They only sell their skills and not their body?" Jia Hao suddenly spoke,


    " Umm¡­ Young Master is telling the truth, but only half." Little Mi smiled. " There is always a price for everything, Young Master."


    " However, Our Phoenix Cloud Pavilion isn''t as forceful as the Jiaofang Division of Imperial Family. The Six Flowers and Three Pearls enjoy many advantages and freedoms over maids and courteseans."


    " Only if they see yourpetence and agree, you can naturally have a night with them." Little Mi smiled.


    " That makes things a lot easier." Jia Hao chuckled as he followed him. " So, Anything interesting happening right now?"


    " Of course. Today, Miss Xu Chen, the youngest of three pears is going to perform sword dance. However, you can''t use money to buy a seat for her performance."


    " Then?" Jia Hao became curious.


    " It shall be a poetry test. If your poetry managed to catch Lady Xu''s eyes, you shall be allowed to watch her performance."


    Jia Hao''s grin widened as he nodded. " Haha, Sure, Why not? This does sound very interesting."


    " Then, Young Master, Shall I guide you to there?"


    " Very well."


    Nodding, Jia Hao followed Little Mi as he walked with enthusiasm. '' Hehe, I knew it such a thing would happen. Thankfully, I have downloadeda lot of poems and couplets on my phone.''


    It wasn''t like Jia Hao couldn''t learn poetry and matching couplets. However, He just chose the easier way.


    As Jia Hao and Little Mi already arrived in the hall, It was bustling with crowd. A lot of people were there to catch a glimpse of Xu Chen.


    Jia Hao threw another Little Mi more moneya s he chuckled. " Arrange me a better seat where I can watch and write poetry with ease."


    " As you wish, Young Master." Little Mi smiled brightly as she took his money.


    Although you can''t use the money to buy a seat to view Xu Chen''s sword dance, you need to pay money to attend thepetition after all.


    Getting a good table, Jia Hao''s gaze swept through the hall, seeing some hidden figures in the corners.


    '' Not bad, The Phoenix Cloud Pavilion does have some security and backing. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have stayed standing for so till now.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Among the people here, the majority were in the Body Strengthening Realm. However, there were also some people who reached the Profound Awakening Realm.


    And among them, there were also a few young looking people, probably the young nobles of various ns.


    '' Tsk, Being born in a rich family does make your martial path easier. After all, the amount of resources to reach the Profound Awakening Realm before the age of 16 isn''t something ordinary people can afford.''


    However, Jia Hao believed as long as he cultivate the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art and Six Desires Myriad Thought Art, reaching the powerful realm won''t be an issue.


    As everyone was drinking andughing, they couldn''t help but keep looking at the balcony,


    Suddenly, two maids appeared as they pped their hands, making the crowd silent.


    " Gentlemen of Nanhai City, Mydy greets all of you and appreciates that you came here this evening." One maid said.


    " However, today, Mydy wishes to hear some poetry. As long as you are able to satisfy her, you shall witness her sword dance."


    Bother of them slowly unfurled the scroll they were holding as they hung it down from the balcony. The hall became even quieter as they studied the painting on the scroll.


    Jia Hao sat with his usually calm expression as he looked at the painting. He had to admit, it was quite a beautiful painting.

 Chapter 67: Invitation To Boudoir

    " What an exquisite painting!"


    " Marvelous!! This painting is truly touching my soul!"


    " Such beautiful mix of colors¡­such scenery. Even look at that woman, even though we can only see her back, she looks so ethereal and beautiful."


    Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes opened as he nced at the painting. Unlike normal people, he studied the painting from a different perspective, noticing even the smallest detail hidden inside the world of painting.


    [ Mncholy of Jade Hairpin: A painting made by Grandmaster Bai Jiuye. Here he depicted the beautiful world and grey pond to reflect the heart of the woman, who has been longing for the life she wished for]


    '' Damn, Sage''s Divine Eyes are truly a cheat.'' Jia Hao clicked his tongue as he looked at the painting.


    A lot of people are immersed in the scenery of the colorful clouds in the sky, the grass and the tree, the flowing water, and a small vige nearby.


    Then, some other people were immersed in the beauty of the woman whose only a little bit of face was visible as she was facing back to the viewers. However, that wless back with wrinkles in the right ces, the tight clothing which was outlined the plump rear and that small yet exquisite glimpse of eyes could drive any man to admiration.


    As there were many schrs and nobles who received education since birth, they started to rack their brains to write relevant poems.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao opened his phone as he scrolled through the pdf he had saved, trying to pick which poem should he y. Seeing the strange device in Jia Hao''s hand, Little Mi''s curiosity got picked.


    " Young Master Jia, What''s that?"


    " Oh, this¡­You can say it''s a ¡­new type of torch." Jia Hao thought for a moment as he replied. But then, he finally found a suitable poem.


    " Beautiful Sister, Can you bring me a paper and inkbrush?" Jia Hao turned around and smiled, making Little Mi blush.


    " En, Wait for a bit, Young Master." Little Mi walked out, only to return quickly with the writing instruments.


    Jia Hao pulled out a ss and poured some wine into it. Of course, he used his own wine as the wine in Yun Continent wasn''t good for him.


    " Mm¡­I don''t have the mood to write. How about I narrate the poem andyou write it, Beautiful Sister?" Jia Hao smiled.


    Little Mi couldn''t help but get mesmerized by this new young master. Not only he was handsome, but even the way he talked, and the way he drank were truly elegant.


    '' Wait, What is he drinking? It smells¡­Nice. Yet, that ss¡­It''s a crystal ss!'' Little Mi became rmed when she saw that.


    Well, It''s true that many nobles carry their own wine. But crystal sses are highly precious as they are hard to make. Not to mention the one that Jia Hao was drinking with, it was transparent as clear water!


    Hearing Jia Hao''s wish, Little Mi was surprised. As a courtesan, she had to hone her calligraphy talent. Although it wasn''t anything great, her handwriting is much better than ordinary folks.


    '' I can''t let what happened in the Marriage Examination in Cai Family. My handwriting is way too ugly.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he started to speak.


    Little Mi became immersed in Jia Hao''s poem as she wrote it down as quickly as possible. After a while, when she finished it, her expression changed when she read what she wrote.


    '' This¡­This poem¡­It''s so¡­Beautiful!''


    For a moment, Little Mi felt jealous of Xu Chen. She would have swooned over Jia Hao if he would have given her this poem.


    '' s. Heaven is unfair.''


    Little Mi gave a wry smile as she nodded. " I have never seen such a poem, Young Master. Do you want me to submit it?"


    " Go ahead. Let''s see how many of them are going to pass this test." Jia Hao smiled with an amusing face as Little Mi got up and submitted the poem.


    " Hoho, Brother Lei, I believe you are going to get selected."


    " Well, Brother Niu, Don''t worry about that. If I will go inside, I will take you too." Another young manughed.


    " Treat it as a gift to improve your mood. I know what Cai Family did to you¡­Haah, But you shouldn''t dwell on it too much."


    " Hmph, They are just unting what remaining power they have. Soon enough, They are going to regret offending our family."


    Jia Hao''s sense of hearing was heightened as he could hear everything they were talking about. His eyes narrowed as he looked at them with his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Name: Niu Luo]


    [ Age: 23]


    [ Remark: First young master of the Niu Family. Early stage of Profound Awakening Realm with crimson qi. Lasvicous and easily angered]


    [ Recent Future Points: Three dayster, he would get caught having an affair with the concubine of the Finance Auditor of City Lord''s house]


    [ Name: Lei Qinzhu]


    [Age: 25]


    [ Remark: Young Master of Crimson Dagger Dojo''s fourth elder. Early stage of Profound Awakening realm with crimson qi. Cunning and vicious]


    [ Recent Future Points: Tomorrow in the middle morning, he will meet a merchant in the dark alley of the north block to purchase Violet Smoke Grass]


    '' Ah, This bastard is from the Niu Family.'' Jia Hao''s face twitched when he looked at Niu Luo. Realizing that he also submitted the poem, Jia Hao''s lips curled.


    '' Hmm, Although I don''t know much about my power, if I ambush an Early stage Profound Awakening Realm, I might take him down.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    " Tsk, If Ox and cows started to write poems, then I guess even pigs would start to fly."


    Jia Hao''s voice was particrly loud as everyone heard that. Suddenly, Niu Luo''s expression changed as he felt Jia Hao saying that while looking at him.


    " Bastard, What did you say?"


    Lei Qinzhu and Niu Luo looked at Jia Hao who was sitting and drinking wine leisurely.


    " I said, If Ox and cows started to write poems, then I guess even pigs would start to fly." Jia Hao took a sip of wine and repeated his sentence.


    Many people stared at them as they felt a good show was about to begin.


    " Eh? Wait, Isn''t that¡­The Son in Law of Cai Family?"


    " Ah! True! It does look like him."


    " Jia Hao! I remember! He challenged all the schrs who took the test of the Cai Family! And he scored the perfect score!"


    Of course, many schrs and young men here went to participate in the marriage trial of the Cai Family. Most of them have seen Jia Hao who boasted all the questions are far too easy.


    He was also the one who submitted his answer first. And the next time they saw him, he was taking marriage vows with Cai Yixue.


    Many men became resentful when they saw him.


    '' Damn it! You already got a pretty wife, and you dare to linger in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion?!''


    Niu Luo''s expression changed when he heard Jia Hao was the one who married Cai Yixue.


    " Hoho, Isn''t that the live in son inw of Cai Family?" Niu Luo snorted as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " How does it feel to eat soft rice, huh?"


    " Well, Eating soft rice from my wife''s hand is very satisfying. Unfortunately, exining that would be the same as ying lute before an ox." Jia Hao replied casually.


    " Yo-You!"


    Before he could say anything, the two maids appeared in the hall and they pped their hands.


    " Mydy already dered the winner of this poetry trial."


    Saying that, they looked at Jia Hao with a polite smile.


    " Young Master Jia, Ourdy invited you to her boudoir."


    .


    .


    .


    In Chinese, Niu = Ox. So that''s how Jia Hao is mocking Niu Luo using wordy.

 Chapter 68: Another Round of Face Slapping

    Suddenly, the crowd turned silent when they heard the name of Jia Hao.


    " What? Jia Hao passed Lady Xu''s test?"


    " What the hell!"


    " How is this possible?"


    Jia Haoughed lightly as he held his wine ss, standing up with a leisurely smile. " Oh, I guess I have to go then. How amusing¡­Sister Mi, please lead me there."


    He intentionally gave a smile while looking towards Niu Luo and Lei Qinzhu. Niu Chao''s expression changed when he saw that smug grin, making his blood lit on fire.


    Gritting his teeth, he couldn''t believe Jia Hao passed the test and not him and Lei Qinzhu.


    " This is unfair!" Niu Luo shouted as he smashed the wine jar on the floor. " How is this possible? There is something fishy going on!"


    " He is just an unknown brat! How can he get selected and not one of us?"


    " Brother Niu, Calm down." Lei Qingzhu spoke in a light voice. However, even he couldn''t help but raise his voice.


    " However, Since Young Master Jia is so talented, it won''t be harmful to show his poem to everyone else, right?"


    " Let us admire the poem of the victor of this trial, shall we?"


    The maids of Xu Chen looked at each other as they smiled lightly.


    " Lady Xu knew that the gentlemen here shall raise concerns. Therefore, she allowed us to recite Young Lord Jia''s poem here."


    " Go ahead and read it. It won''t bother me." Jia Hao shrugged.


    The maid started to read Jia Hao''s poem as everyone was eager to listen to it.


    In the dim-lit chambers of jasmine and musk,


    Where silk-d beauties sway to whispered dusk,


    Theirughter veiled, their eyes like moonlit streams,


    Brothels bloom with secrets, woven in silken dreams.


    - She pirouettes, a fragile me in silk,


    Her painted lips a crimson plea for sce.


    Beneath thentern''s glow, she weaves her tale,


    Aching for love, yet bound by fate''s cruel chalice.


    - Between silk sheets, confessions spill like wine,


    Of lost innocence, stolen nces, and broken vows.


    The jasmine scent clings to her skin, a memory,


    As patrons seek sce in her painted brows.


    - For every kiss bestowed, a coin changes hands,


    And behind theughter, shadows dance.


    The courtesan''s heart, a fragile porcin vase,


    Cracks with every whispered promise, every stolen chance.


    At dawn, when thenterns fade to gray,


    The courtesan dons her mask of indifference.


    Her reflection in the mirror, a fractured mosaic,


    Love''s illusion shattered, leaving only remnants.


    The hall became silent as night as they heard the poem. It wasn''t about admiring the beauty of the woman in the painting or looking at the beauty of the world.


    It''s the sorrowful smile of the courtesan, once a high and noble girl fell to such a state.


    " In fact, The painting was anything but joyous." Jia Hao sighed as he took thest sip of the wine.


    " The gray pond was in contrast to the beautiful sky. As the woman looked at it, she saw the sky as he dreams yet the reality was reflecting in the pond."


    " She wished nothing more than to live an ordinary life like the vigers, a simple andmon life."


    " Yet adorned with gold and jades, she is nothing more than an expensive doll."


    When everyone heard Jia Hao''s review of the painting, they couldn''t help but gasp in surprise. Looking back at the painting, they couldn''t help but think Jia Hao was right!


    Lei Qinzhu was stunned as he couldn''t believe what he had just heard.


    Earlier, he already made mind to create a ruckus. However, listening to Jia Hao''s poem, he felt like it was neigh impossible to pick ws from his poem.


    Meanwhile, Niu Luo''s face alternated between red and purple. He was frustrated as the poem was pretty good, and angry because Jia Hao taunted him yet going to meet Xu Chen now.


    However, Jia Hao wasn''t bothered as he followed Little Mi, with each step taken with arrogance and swagger.


    " This bastard! I am going to beat him!" Niu Luo clenched his fist as he stared daggers at Jia Hao.


    However, Lei Qinzhu held his arms and shook his head. " Brother Niu, Are you forgetting where you are right now? This is Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. " You can''t cause a ruckus here."


    Niu Luo came to the realization as he shut his mouth as he realized that Phoenix Cloud Pavilion got its own backing.


    " But, I can''t let that bastard go like that." Niu Luo gritted his teeth. " Not to mention, he also insulted you, Brother Lei."


    " Rest assured, Brother Niu." Lei Qinzhu spoke in a cold voice. " Let him have his moment. Once hees out of the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, my men will beat him into a pulp."


    " Hehe, As expected Brother Lei, you are smart."


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao was simply oblivious to all these as he followed Little Me. Although it''s called a boudoir, it''s more like a hall where a dozen people can sit and watch the performance.


    The main bedroom seems to be at the end of the hall, protected by an exquisite wooden door. As Jia Hao followed Little Mi and arrived in the hall, his eyes became surprised as he saw two other people there.


    One is a young man with delicate skin, with eyes sparkling like a clear gem. She was very handsome¡­and a bit feminine also. Jia Hao became amused when he saw him.


    Other than him sat a middle aged man with a schrly aura. Looking at him through his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao was a bit surprised.


    Because he was indeed a schr and poet, and famous on top of that.


    When they saw Jia Hao entering the hall, the middle aged man couldn''t help but smile.


    " Are you Young Master Jia? I have read your poem and I have to admit, it''s simply beautiful. Even in the entire Great Yan, it''s hard to find such a poem."


    " Mr. Tong is overpraising me. How can a meager young man like me bepared with the literary giants of the Great Yan?" Jia Hao smiled politely as he sat on a seat.


    " Haha, I guess Young Master Jia knows me. I am not as good as you are describing. Just an ordinary schr with an ordinary lifespan." Mr. Tong smiled lightly.


    " I just came here to see Lady Xu''s sword dance. I hope it will give me some insights."


    Jia Hao didn''t converse with the young man as he sat there silently, pouring himself another ss of wine. His action caught the eyes of the young man, making his expression curious and surprised.


    Soon, the curtain beads ttered to the side as a figure walked out.


    " This poor girl greets the guest. I hope my performance shall entertain you."

 Chapter 69: Please Invite Him To My Bedroom

    ck eyes like crystal obsidian, the lips painted with rosiest red. With light brown hairs cascading behind her back, and exquisite dress flowing around her body like multicolored streams.


    With her slender arms and snow white legs, her curvy body was like a beautiful statue, sculpted perfectly.


    A sword adorned in her hands, with a beautiful scabbard protecting its lean body.


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but get mesmerized when he looked at Xu Chen for the first time.


    '' Haah, No matter what, beauties are simply everywhere. Be in modern times or ancient times.'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Mr. Tong Xiao, Youg Master Xue Yu, and Young Lord Jia Hao, I wee to this humble girl''s abode. I hope the testing method of mine didn''t offend you."


    " Haha, It''s alright, Lady Xu. Such things aremon in ces like this. I also remembered making poems for Lady Cha years ago. Good old days." Tong Xiao sighed.


    " It looks like Mr. Tong is a regr visitor. I wonder how many courtesans smitten over you across the years?" Jia Hao couldn''t help butugh lightly.


    " I won''t deny. s, I am getting old¡­So I would just spend the rest of my day leisurely."


    Jia Hao looked at Tong Xiao and realized he was also stuck at the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. Meanwhile, Xue Yu is already at the peak of the Early stage of the Profound Awakening Realm.


    " Sister Xu, I guess you forgot about me, hm?" Xue Yu looked at Xu Chen and chuckled.


    " How can I, Third Young Master Xue?" Xu Chen smiled. " If I had forgotten, I wouldn''t have invited you."


    " Invite? Does that mean he didn''t write any poems toe here?" Jia Hao''s expression turned odd.


    " I apologize, Young Master Jia. But two of them are my esteemed guests. So, they came here without any test." Xu Chen nced at Jia Hao and smiled lightly.


    " I apologize if that had offended you, Young Master Jia."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao sighed. " Well, I don''t really mind it though. Miss Xu can remain assured."


    Saying that, Jia Hao activated his Sage''s Divine Eyes and nced at Xu Chen.


    [ Name: Xu Chen]


    [ Age: 23]


    [ Remark: Once a proud daughter of the Xu Family now reduced to a mere courtesan. However, That didn''t take her talent away. Bearing a pure blue qi, she is a skilled martial artist who reached Mid stage of the Profound Awakening Realm]


    [ Recent Future Point: Two dayster, shemits suicide by drinking poison due to force vition and marriage proposal by her enemy]


    '' Ayoo?''


    Jia Hao became rmed when he saw the future point. Without any hesitation, he activated his seed of desire, peeking into the heart of Xu Chen.


    Sorrow, grief, hatred, and disappointment, everything was like a swirl of tempest, swirling in her heart like a dark storm. Although she appeared to be calm and graceful outside, she was already about to be crushed by her own emotions.


    '' However, she didn''tmit suicide out of nowhere. It''s clearly stated that she was assaulted by her enemy, leading her to consume poison.''


    '' So, Can I say today is perhaps thest performance of her?''


    " What is it, Young Master Jia? Do you wish to speak anything?"


    Jia Hao came back to his senses when he heard the voice of Xu Chen. " It''s nothing, Miss Xu. I am simply eager to watch your performance."


    " Since Young Master Jia insists, This humble girl shallply."


    Suddenly, two rows of four maidens, a total of eight, entered the room carrying various musical instruments.


    Jia Hao had to admit that although they looked pale inparison to Xu Chen, each of them could be considered mortal beauty on their own.


    SurroundingXu Chen like eight petals of a flower, the maids slowly started to y the music.


    Various musical instruments started to y at once as Xu Chen''s body moved gracefully. Her flowing dress was like a sweep of multicolored radiance, apanying the gracefulness of her moves.


    The music starts with a joyous tone as if a girl is enjoying her childhood. Xu Chen''s eyes were closed as her lips curled up, giving a smile of satisfaction.


    Suddenly, the music took a sharp note, with Xu Chen unsheathing her sword. It was like a sh of silver light, making Jia Hao awe before her.


    The jade handle and the silver body of the sword looked like a treasured sword of legend, moving gracefully in the hands of Xu Chen.


    Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp, Her sword portrayed different forms ording to different tunes.


    Jia Hao sighed as he could feel the emotions conveyed by Xu Chen. She fell from her grace, yet she didn''t resign to her fate.


    She fought and fought, till her hands became numb, till her feet trembled from the fatigue. The sword trembled as if it was about to fall from her hand, yet it didn''t.


    She posed gracefully in the end, hiding her face partially by her sword.


    Such grace, such emotions, it truly gave a question to every viewer.


    Can fate truly can''t be changed?


    Tong Xiao couldn''t help but apuse. " Haha, Good! Good! This old man never thought he was going to see such a performance. As expected of White Crane''s disciple. You didn''t let her down."


    Jia Hao could see the subtle change in Xu Chen''s face, but it returned to normal in a moment. Sheathing her sword, she cupped her fist and bowed.


    " I am d that Elder Tong gave such a high evaluation of my performance. However, I still a long way to go before I reach the stage my master reached."


    " Sister Xu, You are truly talented with both beauty and talent. I truly wish to take you away from here. However¡­ I simply can''t."


    " Third Young Master Xue, I am d that you care about this poor girl. However, this woman is already sealed in this golden cage, unable to ever go out."


    " Haah, I hope heaven bless you, Lady Xu. And all of your worries melt like bubbles in the water."


    Tong Xiao got up as he finished his tea. " Today is truly a good day. I guess I will make another good work before I die."


    Xue Yu, and the maids kept looking at Jia Hao as he was simply drinking his wine, with his eyes closed. Xu Chen also looked at Jia Hao for a brief moment before looking back at Xue Yu.


    " Third Young Master, please wait a moment. I wish to give you something."


    Saying that, a maid carried out a book, whose pages already be yellowed. Xue Yu''s eyes sparkled when he saw that.


    " This¡­Is this the Notes of Hundred Birds written by Lady White Crane?"


    " Brother Xue is wise."


    " But this¡­This is too precious for you. She must have gifted you this. I can''t take it." Xue Yu held the book as he looked at Xu Chen.


    " Please keep it, Brother Xue. Perhaps in the future¡­it will be useless to keep it with me." Xu Chen looked at the night sky outside the window as she smiled lightly.


    " Very well, I shall keep it safely." Xue Yu nodded. However, before turning around, he couldn''t help but look at Jia Hao, who remained silent at this point.


    " Hmph, I guess some people don''t have eyes to appreciate the beauty." Xue Yu couldn''t help but spit lightly.


    " I do know how to admire beauty, Brother Xue. Just like I am admiring yours." Jia Hao looked at Xue Yu and spoke with an amused smile.


    The gaze, and the smile rmed Xue Yu, making him rub his face. " Hmph! What a pervert! Eyeing on a young man, you should go to hell!"


    " Sister Xu, you better kick him out of here."


    " It''s alright, Young Master. I believe Young Lord Jia wishes to speak with me something." Xu Chen smiled. " Besides, It''s alreadyte. You should return."


    " Take care of you, Sister Xu."


    Snorting at Jia Hao, Xue Yu turned around and left.


    " Fate¡­How abstract and mysterious."


    Jia Hao spoke as his index finger rubbed te rim of the ss. Xu Chen smiled. " Indeed, How can a person go against what heaven''s have decided for us?"


    " Others can''t and won''t. Doesn''t mean you can''t, Lady Xu." Jia Hao smiled lightly.


    " Grief, sorrow, guilt, disappointment¡­It''s true that a person faces such things quite often in their lives. However, does that mean one should end their lives?"


    " Perhaps it''s better to die an honorable death than living like a¡­" Xu Chen didn''t finish her sentence.


    " Well, In that case¡­Why not now? Why don''t you die right now?" Jia Hao looked at Xu Chen.


    " Is it because deep in your heart, there is still a sliver of hope? A hope that allows you to hone your skill and live every day, even if it''s burdening you?"


    " If there is still hope, Why not clench it? Why not still fight to the bitter end, to show who is powerful? Who is it? The mysterious fate? Or your willpower?"


    Suddenly, Xu Chen was shocked as she looked at Jia Hao, looking deep into his eyes.


    Turning around, she walked towards her boudoir.


    " Bring Young Lord into my bedroom."


    " Haah????"


    .


    .


    .


    Sorry fellow daoists for a single chapter. I am suffering from cold sincest night and like...I am about to die. Let''s not die (optional)

 Chapter 70: Night With Xu Chenlan (R-18/Part 1)

    Not only Jia Hao, but the expressions of the maids also shifted when they heard Xu Chen.


    " Do I need to repeat my words?" Xu Chen paused her steps as she spoke again, without looking back."


    " No, Not at all, Lady Xu."


    The maids bowed as they gathered around Jia Hao. " Young Lord, Please wait for a moment. We shall wash your hands and feet."


    " ????"


    Jia Hao was still stunned when he heard the maids. Without any dy, they brought a a bronze basin of water and ced before Jia Hao''s feet, slowly washing his feet with rose water.


    After that, washing his hands, they got up, leading him to the bedroom.


    " Young Master, I hope you have a blissful night." All the maids smiled and bowed as they turned around and left.


    '' What the fuck just happened? Don''t tell me¡­''


    Jia Hao had some outrageous ideas in his mind, but he felt like they were simply too far fetched.


    Yet, the moment he entered the bedroom, the dim red paperntern, the fragrance of flower and sandalwood oil, and the attire of Xu Chen made the far fetched dreams merge with reality.


    " Young Master Jia, Are you still confused?" Xu Chen''s smile merged with the light and darkness felt very alluring.


    " Ah, Perhaps it''s truly your first time in a brothel?"


    " Lady Xu doesn''t need to worry about me, as I am already experienced in the matter of man and woman." Jia Hao smiled faintly as he sat on a sofa.


    " But, Lady Xu inviting me, isn''t that too abrupt? As far as I know¡­Lady Xu has been like a flower untainted by dust."


    " Young Master Jia is right. However¡­Your words changed something in me." Xu Chen shook her head with a smile.


    " Thanks to you, I truly have the courage to face my fate." Xu Chen took off her jade hairpin, making her hair fall like a waterfall.


    " However, before facing it¡­I believe I should experience the joy of being a woman, no?"


    Jia Hao did his best to suppress dropping his jaws. " Miss Xu, We were just strangers a few moments ago¡­"


    " I believe it makes things even better. Two strangers, spending one night together, not seeing each other ever again."


    '' She lost it¡­She lost itpletely.'' Jia Hao gave the verdict in his heart. However, he was also surprised to see the decrease of negative emotions in Xu Chen''s heart.


    " Of course, Young Master Jia can refuse. However¡­Would you? After all¡­You might as well as the first andst man in my life¡­"


    Jia Hao raised his eyebrows as he walked to Xu Chen, raising her chin and making her look at him.


    " Miss Xu, I am a very possessive man. Once you cross this line, you will be my woman. I won''t let any other man touch you."


    " So, Are you willing to be mine only?"


    Xu Chen gazed into Jia Hao''s eyes she couldn''t see any trace of ttery or falsehood.


    Being in the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, ttery and mor is like her everyday friends. Being here, she had already gotten ustomed to them.


    However, Jia Hao''s words¡­They felt different. For the first time, she heard a sincere deration, which made her heart race like never before.


    '' I am already at my wit''s end. Hehe, since I can''t escape, I might as well show him that he couldn''t obtain me, no matter what.'' Xu Chen looked back into Jia Hao''s eyes and smiled.


    " Very well, my lord. I shall be yours, till death does us part."


    Jia Hao was surprised as Xu Chen leaned forward, meeting his lips passionately with hers.


    Without wasting his time, Jia Hao held her waist, slowly guiding her towards the bed. With a single tug, he pulled thece threads on her back, making the cloth fall smoothly.


    The ck colored dudou was adorned with red flowers all over it, the bellyband''s color was a mix of forbidden passion and joy.


    As their lips parted, Xu Chen looked at Jia Hao with the utmost affection, as if love bloomed in her heart at that moment.


    Is this love genuine? Or it''s like thest splendor of the sun before setting?


    Xu Chen held Jia Hao''s clothes as she took them off gently. The softness in her action was even more arousing for Jia Hao.


    '' Is this the result of being in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion? She is simply¡­''


    " Young Lord, Are just going to stand there? Or you want me to admire your body the whole night?"


    Xu Chen''s voice woke up Jia Hao, making him smile wryly. " Don''t worry, As you admire my body, I will do the same for you¡­"


    " Ahh!"


    Xu Chen felt Jia Hao''s arm wrapped around her waist and pulling her into his embrace. His lips were eager as they roamed over her tender neck, slowly trailing below her calves and diving into her cleavage.


    His other hand traced her arms as slowly rubbed her breasts, making Xu Chen''s body with a strange pleasure. Her pleasure slowly got heightened when she felt a gentle nip on her neck, making her body jolt.


    " Unngh¡­Are you¡­Biting my neck?" Xu Chen pouted.


    " You don''t know about love bites?" Jia Hao grinned. " Although you are a virgin, I am sure you have seen many of your fellow sisters''s love bites, hm?"


    " I always thought about them¡­But experience¡­is another matter." Xu Chen grinned as she felt Jia Hao slowly pushing her onto the bed.


    Their breath mixed as they fell on the bed, kissing each other frantically. Xu Chen''s fingers traced the abs of Jia Hao as if she were trying to feel his masculine body


    Jia Hao''s hands were skilled as he swiftly took off the remaining pieces hiding her body, revealing the perky pair of white jade rabbits with pink noses.


    " Unnngh!~ It feels so¡­Nnngh!~"


    Xu Chen moaned sweetly as she felt Jia Hao rubbing one breast while teasing another with his tongue. The gentle flicks, rolls, and pinches were like floods of bliss throughout her body.


    Slowly, she felt her mped legs opened as Jia Hao''s fingers trailed lower and lower on her body, slowly reaching herher region.


    " Allow me to pleasure you tonight, my dear."

 Chapter 71: Night With Xu Chenlan(Part-2)

    Xu Chen''s breath hitched when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    " Wh-What happened Chen?" Jia Hao became rmed when he saw the tear droplets falling from her eyes.


    " Oh¡­It''s nothing. It''s just¡­ I am a bit happy and¡­relieved." Xu Chen shook her head as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " I apologize if you misunderstood, dear."


    Jia Hao was stunned before giving a softugh. " Don''t worry¡­Not at least tonight. Tonight, you must only focus on me."


    " You will, right?"


    Xu Chen closed her eyes as she smiled. " Of course, my lord."


    However, that peaceful gesture of lying with closed eyes didn''t worked after a few moments as her eyes snapped open with a yelp.


    " Ahnnn!~ Wh-Where are you touching, Dear~"


    Xu Chen could feel Jia Hao''s fingers slowly enter her sacred well, curling up and rubbing the flesh of her inner walls. It was truly stimting, making her lower body numb with pleasure.


    However, what made her even more surprised that Jia Hao slowly got off from her body as his face came close to herher region.


    " My¡­Dear¡­Don''t¡­Look at it so¡­Intently."


    Despite being shy, Xu Chen''s thighs remained wide open, letting Jia Hao gaze at herher lips in full glory.


    " No-No! Wait!~"


    Xu Chen realized something. However, it was already toote.


    Jia Hao''s tongue flicked out and gently licked around the pink lips of theher region, slowly entering within the hole.


    Xu Chen''s body shivered as she felt it was simply too much for her.


    " Don''t¡­It''s too dirty¡­"


    " Well, Today isn''t your unclean day. I can manage this much." Jia Hao grinned. " Didn''t I say? You will feel the pleasure you never felt in your entire life."


    " Ahnn!~ It feels so¡­Good! Nnnghhh¡­I am¡­cumming!"


    With the skillful usage of his finger and tongue, Jia Hao made Xu Chen orgasm in no time. With a soft whimper, the spring water gushed out from her sacred well, drenching Jia Hao''s face and fingers.


    Xu Chen panted as she saw Jia Hao getting up, and sitting beside her.


    " Why don''t you just¡­have your way with¡­me?" She asked while panting.


    After all, her years of staying in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, she had seen the affair between men and women countless times. But, was it artistic like this?


    Men simply take their time in massage or tea. After that, they will simply strip and fuck the courtesans like their ves. And not long after, they will simply stop and curl beside them to rest.


    Isn''t that what courtesans for? To vent your anger in a sexual way?


    '' Yet, He¡­He is so different. It''s like he is taking his time to slowly savor me¡­Slowly unfurl the emotions like a blooming flower.''


    '' Perhaps¡­Giving my heart to a stranger isn''t bad at all."


    " Chen..Shall I?"


    " Mhm¡­Go ahead, My dear. I am all yours tonight."


    Jia Hao grinned as he slowly took off his pants, making his little brother spring out with all stiffness, making Xu Chen surprised.


    " This¡­This is¡­Pretty girthy."


    She couldn''t help but mumble when she saw the size of Jia Hao''s member. When Jia Hao positioned himself on him, a strange nervousness crept into Xu Chen''s heart.


    " Wait¡­I wonder if we should take some tim-EEKKKK!"


    She felt her heart skipping a beat as her sacred well slowly got parted by something hard and stiff. She could feel something was pushing it was way down there,, making her clench the sheets hard.


    " Unnngh! -wait! It¡­ It hurts! Ahhhnnn!~"


    With a final thrust, Jia Hao prated Xu Chenpletely, with their body bing one.


    Tear droplets jerked in her eyes, but Xu Chen didn''t flinch. As Jia Hao slowly started to move his hips, Xu Chen felt the pain was slowly subsiding, slowly mixing up with a strange pleasure.


    " Shall I increase my pace?"


    " Ahh¡­Yes."


    Xu Chen came back to her senses only for a moment, before her mind became numb from pleasure once again.


    " Ahnnn! Ahnnn! Nyahhh!~"


    She tried to suppress her moans, to not let her show herself so lewdly before Jia Hao. However, she couldn''t help it.


    Jia Hao picked up his pace as he held the waist of Xu Chen, theirher region grinding against each other.


    Soon enough, the room was filled with the sound of bodies pping against each other, with the soft moans of a woman.


    Xu Chen felt like she couldn''t think of anything other than Jia Hao, the show was using her body in an both affectionate yet dominating way.


    She could feel he was filling up her entirely, her inner walls getting stretched by his girthy member.


    He leaned forward and kissed her again, with his speed increasing once again.


    " Ahhn! This¡­Why..This feels so¡­Good!"


    " Haah¡­Because it''s me, Chen." Jia Hao grinned as he looked at her. " Hehe, Don''t worry, this is just beginning. I have so many things on my mind for you."


    Suddenly flipping, Jia Hao knelt on the bed, instructing Xu Chen to get on all fours. Xu Chen became bashful when she heard of the doggy style


    s, Jia Hao''s wish prevailed, making Xu Chen get on all four and show her rear to Jia Hai, shaking her hips with light eagerness.


    " HNNNGHH! It''s¡­Hitting all my¡­pleasure spots!"


    " Unngh¡­You are truly¡­so good, Chen."


    Jia Hao panted as he yfully pped her ass. " But you can''t just remain still¡­Start moving already."


    " Yes, My dear¡­"


    Pulling her hands from behind like reins, Jia Hao suddenlyunched an aggressive attack, pounding Xu Chen with a loving ferocity.


    Xu Chen felt like her body was swaying like a small boat in the great sea, with waves after waves of pleasure crashing down on her.


    *PA! PA! PA! PA! PA! PA!


    PA! PA*


    Her perfectly shaped ass rippled with light waved as Jia Hao kept moving his hips, letting his member grinding against the inner walls of Xu Chen.


    " Ahhnnn! Ahhn! I am¡­I am¡­cumming!"


    " Chen! I am cumming too!"


    " Ahhnnn!~"


    With a loud moan, Xu Chen orgasmed once again. However, in that moment, she felt Jia Hao''s rod throbbing inside.


    And after that, a string warm fluid gushed inside her sacred well, filling itpletely.

 Chapter 72: Xu Familys Tragedy

    " Xu Family used to be a rich merchant family in north Jichang City. However, my grandfather got into a big conspiracy with a renowned n in the capital city."


    " My father got used of conspiring against Imperial Family, making them arrest our entire family. Father and mother served in jail. Elder brother escaped and I almost got sold to the Jiaofang Division."


    " However, Master White Crane took me in and brought me to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. She didn''t teach me for long, but gave me enough materials so I could hone my talent."


    Jia Haoy on the bed as Xu Chen was sleeping with him, gently snuggled into his arms.


    " Two days ago, I received a news. Shen Family''s Second Young Master wrote me a letter, telling me that my brother got caught by him."


    " And if I want to release him¡­I need to¡­"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath when he heard that. " How can you be so sure that he got his hands on your brother?"


    " Along with that letter was a ring, which my elder brother wore."


    With a sigh, Jia Hao caressed Xu Chen''s hair. " It''s alright¡­You don''t need to worry about it. I will try my best to help you."


    " You already helped me enough, Dear. By giving me the courage to make a decision, y ou already helped¡­"


    " How I wish¡­Only if we had met in a different¡­a much normal circumstance?"


    " Regret has no medicine, Chen." Jia Hao smiled. " One can only learn from the past and walk to a better future."


    " Nnngh¡­But I have to admit, You have quite a lot of stamina." Xu Chen arched her back as she nced at Jia Hao.


    " Even if I have blue internal qi and more stamina and strength than ordinary people, I can''t feel my legs thanks to you."


    " Hehe, You are so beautiful¡­I can''t help."


    " Shameless."


    Xu Chen pursed her lips as she looked out the window. " My¡­I didn''t expect that it''s already dawn¡­ Time really waits for none."


    Hearing that, Jia Hao also became surprised. Slowly getting up, he stretched his arms. Xu Chen also got up and helped Jia Hao to put on the robes.


    Turning around, Jia Hao thought for a moment before taking out a knife and a manual.


    " Take this knife, It''s made from a special steel. And this manual is called Wind Parting Sword Art." Jia Hao spoke in a careful voice.


    " That''s rather a peculiar gift, Young Lord." Xu Chen smiled, but she epted it. " Such a beautiful knife and patterns on it¡­I have never seen it before."


    " But this martial arts manual¡­This is a bit¡­"


    " Please keep it." Jia Hao insisted. " I know practicing it few days is hard¡­But I hope you do it."


    " Thank you, Brother Jia."


    " En¡­Be safe. I shall be back."


    Jia Hao didn''t look back as he turned around and left.


    Xu Chen sighed as she looked at the bright patch of red on the sheets, making her bashful. With utmost affection, she cut the part and neatly folded it into her drawer.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As he walked through the building, he could see many male patrons already getting up, trying to use the guise of the darkness of dawn to return back to their houses.


    However, thedies of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion kept giving Jia Hao a strange look. A look mixed with curiosity, desire, and jealousy.


    With a faint smile, Jia Hao walked out as he could feel the breath of fresh air, with the eastern sky being faint red.


    Rather than feeling spent, he felt more rejuvenated. Not to mention, he could also feel the stream of energy inside dantian.


    '' The embryo of the seed of desire isplete. All I need to do is sprout it.''


    However, as Jia Hao was walking back, he felt two strings of malicious presence, aimed towards him. With his eyes narrowed, he pretended to stroll, only to use his Sage''s Divine Eyes and look back at the two men.


    They looked sleepy and more enraged, the knife behind their back couldn''t be hidden by Jia Hao.


    '' I see¡­Even without my eyes, I can tell that these bastards must be sent by that Niu Luo and Lei Qinzhu.''


    Jia Hao''s lips curled as he looked around, finding a sweet spot for a double murder.


    He can''t let go of this chance, he has a pot to feed!


    " Halt!"


    Jia Hao stopped as he turned around, seeing two men approaching him.


    " Yes? Who are you?" He asked with a genuine curiosity and suspicion.


    " Heh, You enjoyed your night in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, Huh?" One man snorted.


    " Seems like you one of those rich silkpants."


    " What did have to do with you?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Earn your money and go there. I am not stopping you."


    " Yo-You! Arrogant bastard."


    " Stop talking and finish him."


    However, instead of standing like a fool, Jia Hao''s body moved swiftly as he raised his arms.


    " Fuck! You dare to attack me?!" The man was rmed as he raised his fist to block his face. However, the next moment he realized it was feint!


    *BOOM!*


    " ARRGH!"


    With a wait, the man felt Jia Hao''s fistnding on his waist, making him kiss the ground.


    However, before Jia Hao could stabilize himself, a glint of silver shed before his eyes, making his body jerk back instinctively.


    " Fucker! Die!"


    " Whoa? Taking out the knife already?"


    Jia Hao sneered as he saw the subordinate already used arge knife. Meanwhile, the man who got to the ground slowly got up by holding his waist.


    " Not bad¡­You guys are at the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm, but much better than average." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Hehe, Brat, You don''t know who did you provoked." The man snorted as he looked at Jia Hao with killing intent.


    " No matter what, you are going to die today."


    " I doubt."


    Jia Hao didn''t waste time in chit chat as a damascus knife appeared in his hand, reflecting the weak rays of the morning sun brilliantly.


    As the subordinate and Jia Hao''s knife shed, Jia Hao''s knife shed, chipping off arge chunk of the opponent''s knife.


    As the shock appeared, the subordinate halted. And these few seconds were enough for Jia Hao to thrust his knife into his chest!"


    " Nooo!"


    The other man jumped to save his friend. However, Jia Hao''s body twisted as he tried to punch him back.


    Surprisingly, the man gathered all his energy, pushing Jia Hao down. However, Jia Hao didn''t hesitate and gave an uppercut, almost crushing the jaws of that man.


    *PFFFT*


    Coughing a mouthful of blood, the man rolled away. Jia Hao pulled out his dagger from the dead body of the subordinate and killed the other person too.


    Then threw the bodies into Pot of Miracles before walking away.

 Chapter 73: Angry Father in Law

    Murder is still a capital crime in the Great Yan kingdom¡­For people with less or no backing of course. Once get caught, they will thrown into jail or get a death sentence.


    But thankfully, Jia Hao has a perfect way to deal with the corpses. Unlike Zhu Wuya, no one is here to witness anything.


    '' Well, Nobody will notice, if there is nobody to notice.''


    [ Absorbing flesh and soul full of vitality! Progression rate nears topletion!]


    [ Host can pick two out of four things]


    [ Threatening (Low)]


    [ Basic Fist Technique(Low)


    [ Crooked Walking (Medium)]


    [ Swift Dagger Arts (Medium)]


    Long Ming didn''t bother as he picked the Basic Fist Technique and Swift Dagger Arts without thinking twice. After all, they were better than others by a great margin.


    '' This Basic Fist Technique is more like an innate talent. My innateprehension already increased by a lot. But with this, I think myprehension of fist techniques would increase?"


    '' As for the Swift Dagger Arts, it feels like a martial art technique. Well, better than nothing. It will pair well with my knives.''


    Jia Hao took a look at his damascus knife which was bent slightly and a little of the edge got blunted.


    '' Hmm, Although it''s damascus, it still hasn''t reached the stage of cutting iron like tofu, hm?''


    " Fuck, I really got some bloodstains on my clothes. But at least I absorbed a ton of negative emotions from them."


    Thinking about reaching the second chapter of Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts, Jia Hao couldn''t help but be excited.


    When he returned Cai Family manor, Jia Hao couldn''t help but see the attitudes of the guards and maids of the family change a bit.


    Everyone looked at him with a mix of jealousy, disdain, admiration and pity. When he walked inside, he suddenly felt a pair of deep gaze on him.


    " Hoho, Look who decided toe back in early morning."


    Jia Hao immediately got creeped out when he heard that voice, turning around and seeing Cai Yunhai smiling at him.


    " Ah¡­Good Morning, Father in Law." Jia Hao scratched his head as he nodded.


    " Song of Silk and Shadow, huh? You have quite an ability to write poems."


    Jia Hao''s face darkened when he heard that.


    '' Isn''t that the poem I wrotest night? How did the information travel so fast? Or it''s those two bastards who instigated mes here?''


    '' Fuck, I will kill them.'' Jia Hao cursed under his breath as he smiled at Cai Yunhai.


    " I¡­I don''t know what you are talking about, Father in Law¡­"


    " Audacious!"


    Cai Yunhai roared, almost making Jia Hao''''s eardrum burst.


    " How dare you enjoy in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion? You were enjoying courtesans there while my daughter is grieving in her boudoir?!"


    '' It was your daughter who asked me to go there though.'' Jia Hao swallowed his words as he hurriedly tried to exin.


    " Father in Law, you just misunderstood me! I didn''t go there for any other woman I went so¡­I can see the literary talents of Nanhai City."


    " Don''t you know? That''s where most intellectuals gather, discussing stories and poetry over wine and women, no?"


    " Hmph, Then after seeing Xu Chen''s sword dance, you should have returned straight back here. What were you doing the entire night?"


    " How does Father in Law know so much about Phoenix Cloud Pavilion? Unless¡­"


    " Wh-What are you trying to say?!" Cai Yunhai was taken aback. " Ahem¡­Just because I didn''t visit there, doesn''t mean I don''t know about the workings of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion!"


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao feigned ignorance. " But I thought a woman was asking about some Big Brother Hai¡­"


    " Did she have melon like breasts, a perky ass, brown eyes with a mole under her lips?" Cia Yunhai suddenly asked.


    " ¡­. "


    When Cai Yunhai saw Jia Hao''s stare, he realized he slipped into his trap. " Yo-You little bastard! Let me teach you manners properly!"


    " Wa-Wait! Father in Law! I was just joking!" Jia Hao hurriedly retreated when he saw the murderous aura covering Cai Yunhai.


    " Besides! I have gotten many information! Especially about the Moonlight Rapist!"


    " What?"


    Cai Yunhai was shocked as his aura vanished, looking at Jia Hao with surprise.


    " Are you telling the truth? Hmph, Don''t try to deceive me!"


    " Believe me, Father in Law. Have I ever said something I couldn''t do?" Jia Hao grinned. " Not only that, But I already know where he lives and when he is nning to go."


    Cia Yunhai''s expression turned solemn when he heard that. " Then why are you telling me now? Shouldn''t we just go and apprehend him?"


    " Father in Law, you are too simple¡­" Jia Hao shook his head. " The envoys for electing the City Magistrate areing tomorrow, right? Why don''t we wait till tomorrow?"


    " What if he escapes?" Cia Yunhai frowned.


    " He is injured, where is supposed to go?" Jia Hao grinned. " And believe me, Father in Law. Tomorrow, we can give everyone the demonstration of the Cai Family''s ability."


    " Hahaha! Good, Very good!" Cai Yunhaiughed as he looked at Jia Hao. " You did a very good job."


    " However¡­"


    Jia Hao again felt that dangerous aura as Cai Yunhai clenched his shoulder, with a smile still stered on his face.


    " You still vited the family rules by going to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. Therefore, You shall face the wall the entire day, and eat at night."


    " Wait! Father in Law! You can''t-"


    " Old Yang, Take him away!"


    Suddenly, Old Yang appeared with two guards. Wearing a simrly smiling face, he pointed the two guards to take Jia Hao away.


    " Old Yang! You can''t do this to me! Wasn''t it you¡­"


    " Ahem, Young Lord Jia, Everything was being for your wellbeing." Old Yang spoke hurriedly, cutting Jia Hao''s words in the middle.


    "As he got dragged away, Old Yang looked at Cai Yunhai with a faint smile. " I didn''t expect him to actually find that bastard."


    " Neither did I." Cai Yunhai sighed. " However, he did it. He is much smarter and capable than I thought."


    " I am truly curious how far he will go in the future."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    The room of reflection was like a small cell with a window for sunlight. However, it was tidied up as Jia Hao sat there.


    '' Damn it, Is this how you going to treat your Son in Law?'' Jia Hao grumbled inwardly.


    However, it was truly a good spot for meditation, without any hassle. Closing his eyes, he circted both Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art and Six Desires Myriad Thought Art at the same time.


    Suddenly, he felt the rush of energy in his dantian as it started to form a small cyclone.


    '' This¡­I have already condensed a small cyclone. This is the Energy Gathering stage! Just a bit and I will reach the Complete Transformation stage, finishing the first chapter of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Technique.''


    He wondered if his body absorbed some of the internal qi of Xu Chenst night? Does that mean Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art is a dual cultivation technqiue?''


    '' I doubt. Those monks are highly against it. Then¡­Could it be¡­ Six Desires Myriad Thought Art? Or is it because I am someone who is cultivating both of them?''


    After cultivating for a while, Jia Hao focused on the Six Desires Myrial Thought Art.


    The seed of desire was alreadyrge as a walnut, pulsing with various colors of smoke. As Jia Hao slowly refined it more and more, the seed cracked as a small sapling appeared.


    Three petals, each were a mix of two colors. It gave off a strange fragrance, making someone feel a mix of countless emotions.


    " Six Desires Myrial Thought Art! Second Chapter!"

 Chapter 74: Banter

    Suddenly, the sapling twisted and twisted as it grew after devouring the remaining negative energy. Although looking like a sapling, Jia Hao felt like it was a more humanoid shape.


    However, without paying attention,Jia Hao chanted the mantra of the second chapter, drawing out the power of the sapling to slowly circte.


    '' A person''s consciousness and the consciousness of the world is connected. When one consciousness bes strong enough, it can easily affect the other one.''


    '' Although upon reaching the second stage, you can barely tap on the power, you can certainly create the illusion so.''


    The power of the second chapter is hallucination, hypnotism, and affecting other''s psych. It''s a much more extensive version of the first chapter, making Jia Hao control someone truly.


    However, it will consume the spiritual energy along with the energy of emotions stored in the sapling. So, Jia Hao still had to collect the emotions of others all the time.


    " Although it''s still simple, reaching the third chapter would cost another abundance of emotions, more likely ten times what I needed for the seed of desire." Jia Hao mumbled.


    Along with that, his sense of understanding emotions also increased. And with a bit of effort, he might predict what the other person is thinking, or telling the truth or lie.


    Suddenly, his meditative stance was broken as he heard the door opening with a loud creak.


    " Young Lord, Please get up. It''s already night." Minmin''s voice echoed. She was surprised when she saw Jia Hao sitting in a meditative position in the darkness, with themp illuminating his handsome face lightly.


    The moment he opened his eyes, Minming suddenly felt his vision blurring. It was as is suddenly standing in a meadow full of flowers, with the sun shining brightly on her head.


    " What happened, Minmin?"


    Minmin heard the ethereal voice as she raised her head and saw Jia Hao standing not far from her. He looked so handsome and charming, Minmin simply couldn''t resist herself from throwing herself into his arms.


    " Minmin!"


    " Ahh!"


    Minmin snapped back as she looked around hurriedly, seeing the familiar cell of reflection and Jia Hao standing before her. " Wh-What just happened? I thought I was in¡­"


    " Minmin, I guess you''ve already been charmed by this young master, huh?" Jia Hao grinned as he walked out. " Already daydreaming?"


    " N-No, It''s not that!" Minmin hurriedly turned around. " Pleasee with me, Young Miss wishes to dine with you."


    '' Hehe, I guess my technique is effective.'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly.


    " It''s already night?" Jia Hao was surprised. He didn''t expect to meditate the entire day.


    With a nod, he followed Minmin. When he entered the courtyard, he could see Cai Yixue''s figure in themplight, who was setting up the dining table meticulously.


    " A lovely woman, a curtain rolled up


    Sitting forever, frowning, her beautiful eyes


    I see her cheeks wet with tears,


    I can''t see her heart so who does she hate? "


    Cai Yixue paused when she heard the poem from Jia Hao. Her lips twitched as she looked at him. " Who else but her husband? Who went to indulge with women of a brothel?"


    " Wife, I thought you gave me permission to visit there?" Jia Hao scratched his head.


    " Next time, I will tell you to jump off from a building. Will you do that too?"


    '' This girl¡­'' Although Jia Hao was expecting such an answer, he almost stumbled when he heard that.


    " I will, wife. As long as I could close my eyes on yourp¡­"


    " Crow mouth! How can you say such things!"


    Cai Yixue got up and closed Jia Hao''s mouth with her palm, appearing to be annoyed by his casual talk. However, the next moment, she retracted her palm as she felt Jia Hao''s lips squirming under it.


    " Hehe, Wife''s palm is so soft and fragrant. I want to kiss it again¡­"


    " Hmph! Rascal!"


    Cai Yixue blushed as she turned around, calming her heart and sitting gracefully.


    " I heard from father. You got Moonlight Rapist''s location?"


    " Wife is correct. We can use him tomorrow to deal a surprise attack on all our enemies." Jia Hao slowly dipped the dumpling in sauce and ate it.


    " But how did you got his location so fast? The entire city was trying to find him. Yet you caught him in one day?" Cai Yixue couldn''t but raise her eyebrows.


    " His real name is Hong Chao. He practices a strange martial art and possesses violet true qi, making him adept in stealth and agility."


    " On top of that, his disguising skill is also top notch. Even if you are standing right beside him, you won''t be able to notice."


    " Then how did you know?" Cia Yixue asked in a curious voice."


    " Well? I just followed the clues."


    Jia Hao smiled as he briefly exined his thorough process from the Fragrant Medicine Store, and how he trailed the purchase of medicines and finally stumbled upon the middle-aged woman.


    Hearing that, Cai Yixue couldn''t help but get fascinated by Jia Hao''s tales. She had to admit that although Jia Hao could be annoying, his mind was sharper than anyone she had ever seen.


    " I see¡­He will get executed in the most painful way tomorrow." Cai Yixue spoke in a cold voice. " He already harmed a lot of innocent women."


    " Don''t worry, Wife. He will get what he deserves." Jia Hao smiled. Using this chance, he wanted to hold the soft hands of his wife¡­But Cai Yixue sensed it and pulled away her palm.


    " From women, I heard the rumor that Young Master Jia became very famous in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    " ¡­. "


    Jia Hao''s face twitched as he silently gazed at Cai Yixue. " Just how many times you are going to poke me with that?"


    " Till I wish."


    Cai Yixue replied curtly. Jia Hao grumbled when he heard that. " I guess the gift I prepared for you is no longer of use. It''s my fault¡­"


    When Cai Yixue heard Jia Hao''s mumble, her ears couldn''t help but get perked.


    " What...Are you talking about?" She asked in a fake curiosity. " Gift?"


    " Gift? What gift? I don''t have anything." Jia Hao chuckled as he looked at her.


    " Hmph! Annoying!"


    Cai Yixue puffed her cheeks as she hurriedly finished eating. " I am going back to sleep."


    " I won''t being with you." Jia Hao spoke. " I am thinking of practicing my martial arts."


    Cai Yixue paused as she turned around, her face softening for a moment before regaining the usual coldness.


    " Minmin, Give him the bottle I prepared earlier."


    " Yes, Young Miss." Minmin nodded as she walked out. After a while, she returned and gave Jia Hao a jade bottle.


    " This¡­"


    " This is the Body Tempering Pill Zhu Wuya bought for his son. Young Miss saved it for Young Lord." Minmin smiled.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s heart turned warm when he heard that. " En, Tell her that I am thankful for this."


    " Why don''t you go and tell that by yourself?" Minmin asked.


    " Because, I am going to practice now."


    Jia Haoughed as he turned around, walking into the training yard.


    There were two pills inside, each giving a gentle medicinal fragrance. Without dying, He popped both of them into his mouth.


    '' I hope I reach the Complete Transformation Stage tomorrow.''

 Chapter 75: Imperial Edict

    The energy was like a stream of water, slowly gathering inside the energy cyclone in his dantian. The more energy it devoured, the bigger and faster it got.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt like all parts of the body were connected with the cyclone by the streams of energy.


    After feeding the cyclone for several hours, the cyclone slowly started to slow down instead of growing more and more.


    Energy Gathering and Complete Transformation stages are simply interlinked with each other, like one big stage divided into two smaller realms.


    The Energy Gathering Stage requires one to connect all strings of energy with the energy cyclone in the dantian. After that, one needs to build up enough energy till the cyclone bes full and refine that energy till it gets pure.


    The purer the energy, the better the effect in the Complete Transformation Stage. After all, it will need the same energy to transform your bodypletely.


    Both pills contain a surprising amount of energy which was easy to digest. And the energy he received from it along with the energy inside his dantian, Jia Hao felt that he would reach the Complete Transformation stage soon.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    He could hear the muffled rumbling inside his body as the cyclone sent out pulses of energy one after another like waves.


    '' Body is the vessel of the universe. Looking into the body, looking into the universe. The energy is there, like water beneath the ground. One needs to unearth it and slowly use it to morph yourself.''


    The rumblings in his body increased more and more as he could feel the energy seeping into his flesh and bones, flowing with his marrow and meridians.


    '' Complete Transformation!''


    A sting of pain made Jia Hao clench his teeth, but he didn''t let out a single sound. His bones creaked as his flesh expanded. Jia Hao could feel like the internal structure of the body was getting all mixed, as if they were falling in a blender.


    Sweat appeared on his entire body like bullets as Jia Hao felt a pain he never felt before. However, Jia Hao persisted as he realized it was simply strengthening his body, remolding into something better.


    *BOOOM!!*


    It was like a heavy door suddenly opened, letting a gush of fresh air rush inside. Jia Hao could feel the energy turning into a whirlpool in his dantian as the pain turned into a pleasant warmness.


    As time passed, the energy vanished as it condensed into a small tform in his dantian.


    The moment Jia Hao opened his eyes and stood up, it was already sun shining on his head. He could feel his body filled with unparalleled strength and endless vigor, the one which he never felt before.


    Not to mention, he could easily manipte the mist like energy in his dantian to all parts of his body, and use it to attack.


    " Rock Carving Finger, Cleansing Palm and Water Carrying Steps."


    The names of the techniques were umon each of them was just a single stance attack. In fact, these techniques were developed by the junior monks to help their day to day lives in a monastery.


    However, one must not look down on them because of their ordinary names. Used with full power, they can be used martial arts to defeat the enemy with ease.


    Jia Hao walked to a stone b and used the Stone Carving Finger. With a single swipe, he let out visible marks on the stone, making him amazed.


    After that, he tried Cleansing Palm, which cost a bit more energy. However, he easily managed to push a giant boulder a few feet away.


    '' These techniques can be used without using energy. However, it''s just that the effect would be much less. But since my physical strength increased quite a lot, it''s perfect for me.''


    *RUMBLE! RUMBLE!*


    Jia Hao held his stomach as his expression stiffened. " But first, Let me eat something. I feel totally drained."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Cai Yunhai already readied himself as he wore a dark blue robe with a sword sheathed on his waist. With his guards, he looked like an imposing general as he got on the horse.


    " Let''s depart to the City Lord''s Mansion."


    " Look! It''s General Cai!"


    " And they looked like guards of Silver Lightning Cavalry!"


    " Haven''t you heard? The Imperial Envoys havee to select the City Magistrate of the Nanhai City?"


    " Do you think Patriarch Cai would be the City Magistrate?"


    " Who knows? But if it happens then Cai Family''s status would soar even more."


    As they reached the City Lord''s Manor, Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but look at the carriages lining there.


    " I guess guests from Imperial Capital already arrived." Cai Yunhai spoke in a deep voice. " Steward Yi, Are you ready?"


    " Yes, My Lord." Steward Yi nodded as he raised his arms.


    " Everyone, Rest their horse and follow the lord inside."


    " Hoho, I guess my luck is pretty good since City Lord Suo himself came to greet me."Cai Yunhai spoke, without a single ounce of sincerity in them.


    " You look healthy and robust as usual, General Cai." Suo Ming looked at Cai Yunhai as he gave a faint smile.


    " Wee to my humble abode."


    " Hehe, Humble? Then my abode must be a half made thatched hut." Cai Yunhai snickered lightly.


    " Well, I believe it''s all the grace of His Highness." Suo Ming smiled mildly as he turned around. " The guards must leave their weapons outside."


    Cai Yunhai nodded as the guards stomped their feet and they rested their weapons outside. However, Cai Yunhai still had his sword as he entered.


    When he reached the hall, he didn''t greet anyone. However, when his eyes fell on someone, he couldn''t help but get surprised.


    " Eunuch Wei? You have havee here?"


    " Hoho, General Cai, It''s been a while since I saw you." Eunuch Wei smiled as he looked at the person beside him


    Cai Yunhai gave him a respectful bow and took a seat. " Even Wu Qingshu of Divine Martial Hall also came, huh?"


    " Hehe, Yunhai, I am surprised you are still alive. I heard your daughter married to some schr and epted him as live in son inw?" Wu Qingshu chuckled.


    " Well, He is a good kid. I see no problem with doing that." Cai Yunhai shrugged.


    " Unlike a few who were eyeing on my precious treasures."


    Saying that, his eyes swept on Niu Chao and Shen Liang, who was also sitting nonchntly.


    " Very well, Since everyone is here, How about I read the Imperial Edict?" Eunuch Wei stood up as his gaze swept across the hall.


    When he held the scroll, everyone got on their knees, as it was the custom to hear the edict of the emperor.


    " Behold! Bow before the edict of Son of Heaven!"


    " The Emperor of Great Yan, has issued this degree! The work of the magistrate is to listen and uphold justice formon folk on behalf of His Majesty and the Imperial Court!"


    " He shall be the embodiment and reflection of Imperial Court for those who are unable toe to Imperial City."


    " For Nanhai City and the counties under it, His Majesty shall elect a City Magistrate. The nominees are, General Cai Yunhai of the Cai Family, Schr Suo Gang of the Suo Family, and Hei Yicheng of the Fifth division."


    " Recently, A demon named Moonlight Rapist had been creating a rampage throughout the Western Province. The one who would get him first, alive or dead, and hand him to Divine Martial Hall shall be allowed to bear the title of Nanhai City Magistrate."


    As Eunuch Wei ended reading it, Wu Qingshu looked at everyone. " So, I hope everyone understands the conditions here. Does anyone have any leads on him?"


    " I have." Cai Yunhai replied calmly.


    " Our family already located him."

 Chapter 76: We Already Caught Him

    Everyone''s expression changed when they heard Cai Yunhai.


    " General Cai, I don''t think you are taking this matter seriously." Suo Ming sneered.


    " The City Guards of Nanhai City scanned the entire city yet they didn''t find a single trace of him."


    " And now you are saying that you already found him?"


    " Perhaps my Cai Family''s guards aren''t ipetent like yours." Cai Yunhai snorted.


    " Hmph, This is simply absurd." Shen Liang alsoughed coldly. " If you have gotten his information, why didn''t you arrest him?"


    " I said we have gotten his trace. That doesn''t mean we have caught him yet." Cai Yunhai answered nonchntly.


    " Enough!"


    Wu Qingshu shouted, making everyone silent at once. " Well, It''s good to see that everyone is enthusiastic. How about using it to catch the culprit?"


    " I will be staying here for quite some time. So, I shall see who is going to contribute the most."


    " No need to wait, Mr. Wu. I have brought the culprit."


    Suddenly, a voice startled everyone as they looked at the doorway.


    Old Yang was carrying a corpse and threw it on the floor. Jia Hao simply stood behind him, without saying.


    When the corpse fell to the ground, everyone became curious to look at it.


    " Please check if this is the Moonlight Rapist, Hong Chao." Old Yang cupped his fist and spoke.


    Wu Qingshu hurried and walked to the corpse. Crouching beside it, he carefully examined it.


    " He was recently killed, and it was a struggle. He fought against an opponent of less skill and experience. But since he was injured, he was defeated and killed in the end. It''s just that¡­the body looks a bit shriveled." Wu Liang spoke.


    " This¡­ This is absurd!" Suo Ming shouted. " No one had seen Moonlight Rapist''s face! How can you be so sure it''s him!"


    " The one who wounded him, You can ask him. Why don''t you call that captain of city guards?" Cai Yunhai looked at Suo Ming and spoke.


    " Indeed, We can have him verify it." Wu Qingshu replied.


    " But I can see it that this person is a skilled martial artist. And¡­He has violet qi, which matches the our frame of Moonlight Rapist."


    Soon, the guard captain arrived and looked at the corpse. His expression changed as he pointed at the waist. " There! I used all my internal qi to strike his waist, almost piercing into his dantian!"


    " Well, You can see there is a deep wound in his waist. Not to mention, we found these in his hideout." Old Yang piled some few thousand taels of gold and medicinal herbs Hong Chao purchased the past few days.


    " Therefore, I believe there is no doubt he is Hong Chao, the notorious Moonlight Rapist." Old Yang finished, cupping his fist to Cai Yunhai.


    The silence in the hall became even more deafening. Jia Hao relished when he saw the expressions of the Niu Family, Suo Family, and Shen Family members.


    '' However, Killing this bastard wasn''t easy¡­''


    .


    .


    .


    In the early morning, Jia Hao took Old Yang and some powerful Cai Family guards and disguised themselves as ordinary men.


    '' Although my power has been increased, I better have a powerful backup.'' He thought inwardly as he guided them to the hideout of Hong Chao.


    " Old Yang, surround this house and especially the back door. He must not leave alive here." Jia Hao gave amand without any hesitation.


    " What about you, Young Lord?" Old Yang asked hurriedly.


    " Me? I am going to fight with him of course."


    " No! I won''t let that happen! Are you trying to get killed?!" Old Yang became rmed when he heard Jia Hao.


    With a faint smile, Jia Hao turned and walked towards the main door. " Don''t worry, Old Yang. Nothing will happen to me. Just stay here and watch."


    Saying that, Jia Hao pulled out his knife and slowly created a hole, and using it, he unlocked the door. Opening it, he slowly stepped inside without making much sound.


    The thick scent of medicines filled the entire house as Jia Hao used his Sage''s Divine Eyes, instantly finding Hong Chao in deep meditation with medicinal paste on his wound.


    " Aren''t you going to greet the guest who came to your house?"


    Hong Chao''s eyes snapped open when the voice hit his ears. However, before he could do anything, he saw a fist right before his eyes.


    Instinctively, He raised his arm, trying to cover his face.


    *BOOOM*


    Tumbling to the ground, Hong Chao winced in pain, But he swiftly got up, looking at Jia Hao with surprise and anger.


    " Bastard! So it was you! Hmph! I should have known back then."


    " Well, Toote." Jia Haoughed as rushed towards Hong Chao.


    But before he could hit him, Hong Chao held Jia Hao''s arm and twisted it.


    " A brat like you trying to kill me? What a waste!"


    Jia Hao winced in pain as he raised his other fist, trying to punch him. But Hong Chao simply flung him away.


    Crashing on the ground, Jia Hao did his best to get up again. But Hong Chao already arrived before him.


    " Take this!"


    His palm was covered with a trace of violet smoke as it came rushing towards Jia Hao''s chest.


    However, Jia Hao''s hand shed as he pulled out a dagger and shed with all his speed.


    *SWWISH!*


    "ARRRGH!"


    Blood and severed fingers swept in the air as Hong Chao let out an agonizing scream. That moment of distraction gave Jia Hao the chance to to use Cleansing Palm attack on Hong Chao.


    Gathering energy, his palm swept,nding on the sr plexus of Hong Chao.


    With a loud thud, Hong Chao was thrown back, coughing a mouthful of blood. As Jia Hao jumped at him, Hong Chao suddenly rolled away, springing up to his feet.


    " Bastard! If I wasn''t injured¡­"


    Cursing, he tried to turn around and escape, but Jia Hao already prepared for it. Springing forward, his fingers swept like an eagle''s w, ripping the fabric of Hong Chao''s clothes and leaving bloody marks on his back.


    One finger stimted his wound, making his yell loudly and stumble forward.


    Without hesitation, Jia Hao pulled out his knife and stabbed him hard.


    With groans and panting, Hong Chao struggled. But soon, his body became lifeless as the pool of blood beneath him became dense.


    [ Absorbing flesh and blood]


    " Leave the corpseplete." Jia Hao urged. After all, he needs the evidence.


    [ Host may pick two of skills]


    [ Steps of Fading Moon (Medium)]


    [ Lesser Yuan Energy Art (Medium)]


    [ Art of Disguise (High)]


    [ Red Iron Saber Art (High)]


    Jia Hao became thoughtful for a moment when he saw the options. All of them looked lucrative, making him unable to pick any two of t hem.


    Suddenly, the door burst opened as Old Yang charged inside.


    " Young Lord! Are you alright?

 Chapter 77: Ruining Everyones Plan

    " This¡­"


    Jia Hao nodded as he sat on a chair. " I am alright. It''s just that we had a pretty intense fight."


    " Young Lord, You managed to defeat him?" Old Yang walked towards the corpse as he asked.


    " Who else killed him?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    " No, It''s just¡­ Weren''t you a schr?" Old Yang looked back at him. " When I first met you, I didn''t felt a single thread of internal energy from you. Yet¡­"


    " Nothing much. It''s just some lowly tricks. And, he was wounded after all." Jia Hao chuckled.


    In fact, although he had the strength, Hong Chao still managed to push him back. His fist techniques were a bit ineffective since Hong Chao managed to evade and catch him.


    The only thing that surprised Hong Chao was the knife he pulled out from his Pot of Miracles and sliced his fingers, giving Jia Hao the chance to give a fatal strike.


    And even after receiving that, Hong Chao still tried to escape. '' I have to admit, the dark violet qi''s agility is quite something. If he wasn''t injured, I might have even more difficulties while facing him.''


    All he wanted was to have an opponent to test his new skills. But Jia Hao had to kill Hong Chao pretty fast, giving him very little battle experience.


    Getting up, Jia Hao looked around the rooms, which were pretty much simple and empty. After all, Hong Chao didn''t have many belongings with him.


    However, with his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he saw a small opening under the wooden nks on the floor. When he opened it, he found arge sack.


    "Two martial arts manual, a saber, and a hundred thousand taels of gold in bank notes?" Jia Hao grinned ear to ear.


    He saw the two manuals called Lesser Yuan Energy Art and Red Iron Saber Technique.


    '' Since I have now the written manual of these, I can easily choose the other two rewards.''


    Jia Hao nodded as he picked the Faded Moon Steps and Art of Disguise. Suddenly, a warm current filled his body as new set if information appeared in his brain.


    Without a second thought, Jia Hao executed Faded Moon Steps as he jumped off the ground. His steps were light as he swiftly traversed across the rom without making much sound.


    The guards and Old Yang were rmed when they saw Jia Hao''s agility technique.


    " Young Master, What was that?"


    " Oh, It''s¡­Nothing." Jia Hao clicked his tongue as he tried to stop. However, he lost his bnce and fell forward, mming his head on the wall.


    " Ouch!"


    " Young Lord!"


    Old Yang held Jia Hao who rubbed his forehead. But a bump still appeared, making him look very funny.


    " What are you allughing at!?" Jia Hao snorted as he waved his hand. " Go collect the body and other evidence. I won''t be giving you any rewards this time."


    " No-Not that, Young Lord!"


    " Forgive us, Young Lord."


    Jia Hao smirked when he heard them pleading. " That''s it, That''s how you should show your respect, hmph."


    " After everything is finished, everyone will get a hundred taels of gold each."


    " Yea! Long live Young Lord!"


    " What a good Son in Law!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " This¡­This impossible!"


    Niu Chao shouted, breaking the murmuring in the hall. Cai Yunhai raised his brows. " What is impossible, Brother Niu? Are you saying Mr. Wu of Divine Martial Hall is lying? Or I am lying?"


    " Eunuch Wei, I believe my Cai Family has finished the task bestowed by His Majesty?"


    " Eunuch Wei, You need to think carefully." Shen Liang spoke in a serious voice. " Don''t you think it''s a little coincidental?"


    " Shen Luo, Are you using me?" Cai Yunhai''s voice became cold. " To think a merchant family like yours can point fingers towards me."


    " General Cai, But don''t you think what I said is true?" Shen Liang didn''t back down.


    " Eunuch Wei revealed His Majesty''s order and in a few momentster, you brought the corpse of the culprit? Isn''t that too suspicious?"


    " The suspect was already under our gaze from the past few days. Today, we happened to get the crucial information and confronted him. Unfortunately, he died." Old Yang looked at Shen Liang unceremoniously.


    " Also, this is his weapon. I hope it can provide some additional proof."


    " Hahaha! Good! Very good!"


    Eunuch Weiughed as he looked at the corpse. " Wu Qingshu, Is this person is Moonlight Rapist?"


    " I am nine of ten part sure." Wu Qingshu nodded.


    " Very well, I shall report back to His Majesty. He shall be pleased to know General Cai''s achievements." Eunuch Wei smiled as he looked at Cai Yunhai.


    " And the young man standing behind Captain Yang, I guess you are the talented schr son inw, married into Cai Family?"


    Jia Hao felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard Eunuch Wei''s voice. The effeminate voice and that expression almost made Jia Hao step back.


    However, Jia Hao maintained hisposure. " Junior Jia Hao greets Wei Gonggong." He cupped his fist respectfully.


    " What a robust Yang energy, pure and warm like sun. Cai Yunhai really chose a good son inw." Eunuch Wei walked toward Jia Hao and rubbed his shoulder.


    '' Damn it, I hope he isn''t having any weird thoughts.''


    Thinking about all the facts about eunuchs he heard a long time ago, Jia Hao couldn''t help but shudder.


    '' What a strong and manly body. Well, I believe you must have also helped Captain Yang to catch this bastard, no?" He chuckled. " Don''t worry, You can call me Uncle."


    " Uncle Wei, My role was very small. I just gathered some clues which led us to find the Moonlight Rapist." Jia Hao spoke in a polite voice.


    " Go ahead, Let me hear what sort of clue led you to him."


    Hearing that, Jia Hao nodded as he exined everything from beginning to the end. Although he tried to push most of the achievement towards the luck and fate, Eunuch Wei and Wu Qingshu could see Jia Hao''s meticulousness in this operation.


    " No wonder, he was hiding in the in sight, yet people didn''t realize." Eunuch Wei sighed as he nodded.


    " Alright, Although I didn''t expected, the operation here ended very fast. I shall go back and report back to His Majesty." Eunuch Wei spoke.


    " If nothing else happens, Cai Yunhai shall be the City Magistrate of Nanhai City."


    " Long Live Great Yan Emperor." Cai Yunhai cupped his fist and bowed.


    " I shall go now. I am feeling a bit tired." Heughed lightly as he turned around to leave.


    " Hahaha! You cunning old bastard, You really did it, huh?" Wu Qingshuughed out loud as he looked at Cai Yunhai. " I hope you are going to give me a few jars of wine, yes?"


    " Whenever you want." Cai Yunhaiughed as he nodded, with his gaze sweeping past everyone else in the hall.


    " I congratte General Cai for his sess." Suo Ming spoke with a half dry smile. " I hope the people of Nanhai City shall appreciate this new beacon of justice."


    " They will, City Lord Suo." Cai Yunhai nodded.


    " Since everything is over, We shall take our leave." Shen Liang''s face was cold as he took his men and left.


    " Hmph! We are leaving too."


    Niu Chao snorted as he turned around to leave.


    " Uncle Niu, Please wait." Jia Hao suddenly called out, making Niu Chao halt.


    " I hope you pass a message to my good brother Niu Luo." Jia Hao smiled. " If he wants to deal with me, bettere in person rather than sending men like cowards."


    " What?"


    " What?!"


    Cai Yunhai''s eyes turned cold when he understood the implications of behind Jia Hao''s words.


    " What does this mean, Niu Chao."

 Chapter 78: Triumphant Return

    Niu Chao''s expression changed when he felt Cai Yunhai''s killing intent. " Wh-What do you mean? I don''t know anything."


    '' Damn it, That little bastard! He threw a tantrum yesterday about this Jia Hao. I thought he would work smartly. But not only is he good and well, he even knew who attacked him.'' Niu Chao cursed his heart.


    " Niu Chao, I don''t give a damn what you do to me. But if you dare to look at my family." Cai Yunhai''s fingers rubbed on the hilt of his sword.


    " Niu Family shall face the wrath of the Cai Family."


    " Hmph, Cai Yunhai, Don''t you think you can scare our Niu Family with that." Niu Chao''s eyes narrowed when he heard Cai Yunhai.


    " You better do, Niu Chao. You are only seeing Patriarch Cai right now. I hope you never see the General of Silver Lightning Cavalry who fought a war in the southern borders." Cai Yunhaiughed coldly as he turned around.


    " It''s alright, Father inw. Just some pesky bugs. You don''t need to worry about them." Jia Hao waved his hands.


    He used the Sage''s Divine Eyes to look at everyone''s everyone''s profile. However, when he saw Wu Qingshu''s panel, his eyes shone with a bright ray.


    [ Name: Wu Qingshu]


    [ Age: 59]


    [ Remark: One of the overseers of Divine Martial Hall. Low stage of Innate Master Realm with crimson qi]


    [ Recent Future Point: Three dayster, He would find the hideout of a group of traitors in Heinan. However, the main culprit already escaped a day ago, leaving him nothing but frustration. He also get reprimanded by the Emperorter on]


    '' I guess Wu Qingshu didn''te here only for the selection of the City Magistrate. He is here for something else.''


    '' If he is close to the emperor, that means he also wields significant power and authority. Hmm, If I help him¡­''


    " Mr. Wu, May I speak to you?" Jia Hao walked towards Wu Qingshu with a light smile.


    " Hoho, Aren''t you the Son in Law of Cai Yunhai? Speak, What do you want?" Wu Qingshu looked at him with some interest.


    " Mr. Wu, I just wanted to know when we are going to recieve the bounty on Moonlight Rapist''s head." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Hahaha, You are concerned about bounty? Don''t worry, Brat. It should arrive in a few days." Wu Qingshu chuckled.


    " While looking for the clues of Moonlight Rapist. I also stumbled upon something else. It was like¡­a group of strange people. They were also talking about some strange stuff¡­like some shady deals¡­" Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he mumbled.


    " What? Are you sure?" Wu Qingshu''s eyes squinted when he heard that. " Do you know where did they go?"


    " Maybe?" Jia Hao spoke with a faint smile. " I think I heard about their hideout. They were also talking about how their leaders going to depart tomorrow."


    " Really?" Wu Qingshu''s eyes shone as he hurried to Jia Hao. " Jia Hao, tell me everything you. This might be crucial information for me."


    " It''s not that I don''t want to tell you, Mr. Wu. However, I am in a bit of trouble. I wonder if Mr. Wu can help me."


    " Heh, Are you trying to extort from me?" Wu Qingshu''s eyes squinted as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " How a frail schr like me would extort you, Mr. Wu." Jia Hao took a step back as he hurriedly shook his head.


    " What I am just seeking is a bit of help. And in exchange for that, Mr. Wu would receive some valuable information. And, I hope you have already seen the evidence of the Cai Family''swork."


    Saying that, he pointed towards the corpse of Hong Chao with a faint smile.


    Wu Qingshu fell into a deep thought as he looked at Jia Hao. " Speak, What do you want?"


    " Nothing much. I just wish you to arrest a person and keep him safe." Jia Hao spoke.


    " Arrest a person? Who are you talking about?" Wu Qingshu raised his eyebrows.


    " Xu Family''s eldest young master. He is currently secretly imprisoned by Shen Family." Jia Hao rubbed his palm.


    " Catching a criminal yet not handing it to Imperial Authorities and keeping him secretly, I am sure it''s against the rules, no?"


    " However, Even if you arrest him, I hope you show him some mercy and at least help him to stay alive in prison."


    " Why are you doing this? Is he your friend?"


    " Not that, actually." Jia Hao scratched his head.


    " I slept with his sister and the Shen Family is trying to ckmail her by using her brother. I don''t want the Shen Family to seed, so¡­I can only ask for your help."


    " As for how you are going to take him out of Shen Family''s grasp, I know Mr. Wu is a man with abilities. I shall leave that for you."


    " But¡­"


    " As for the location of the suspicious people, I only know they are hiding in Heinan Vige. Mr. Wu should go there carefully and catch them all at once."


    Jia Hao spoke that and turned around to leave. " I hope Mr. Wu won''t betray my trust."


    Wu Qingshu remained silent as he saw Jia Hao leaving. His eyes filled with an enigmatic light as he turned around.


    " Old Third!"


    " Yes, My Lord!"


    " Prepare a raid team to the Heinan vige and seal all the exits. Also, trying to check if the Shen Family got the Xu Family''s eldest young master in their dungeon or not."


    " As you wish."


    " Also, Cut off this bastard''s head and send it to Captial." Wu Qingshu spoke as he turned around to leave.


    " Jia Hao, Is it? How¡­Amusing."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " What are you t walking with Wu Qingshu?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " Nothing, Just having some deals." Jia Hao smiled. " Father in Law, What kind of person is Wu Qingshu? I hope he isn''t someone who burns the bridge after crossing?"


    " Wu Qingshu isn''t someone like that." Cai Yunhai shook his head. " He focuses mainly on the orders of His Majesty. And if you help in some important task, he will also do his best to return your favor."


    " So what is Divine Martial Hall?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " There are two departments who works directly under His Highness''smand. The Scaled Dragon Hall and Divine Martial Hall."


    " The Scaled Dragon Hall looks after the internal affairs of the empire, which involves themon folks and everything else. The Divine Martial Hall was made solely to keep the martial artsmunity in check."


    " Both are different departments, but work under the Emperor."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hurry up and start arranging for the feast! Patriarch Cai has been selected as the City Magistrate!"


    " What? Are you telling the truth? Does that mean our Cai Family''s reputation is going to be lifted?"


    " Oh my goodness! We have be the Magistrate''s Household!"


    Li Rou was pacing nervously in her room as her old maid came rushing. When she heard the news, Li Rou couldn''t help but get ted.


    " Are you really telling the truth?"


    " Yes, Lady Li. I have gotten news from he soldier who went to apany Patriarch."


    " Haha! Good! Very good!" Li Rouughed as she waved her hands. " Give a fifty taels of gold to each servant and ask them to decorate the house. We must wee them properly."


    When Minmin replied to Cai Yixue, she couldn''t help but sigh in relief. " Finally, A good news. Hurry up and write a letter to my sister. She must be getting impatient."


    " Yes, Youngdy." Minmin smiled. " I heard Son in Law did a very good job catching the Moonlight Rapist. He even fought with him."


    " What?! He fought with him?" Cai Yixue''s expression turned cold as she started to bite her nails.


    " Damn it! I told him to not engage in anything dangerous! Why doesn''t he just listen to me!"


    " Hehe, Young Miss is worried about her husband?"


    " Bah! Who said?" Cai Yixue returned to her usual demeanor as she looked away. " I was just afraid if he gets hurt our Cai Family would lose a capable individual."


    " Young Miss, You are a bad liar. You know that, right?"


    " Minmin, I guess I need to increase your tickling punishment."


    Minming''s body jerked as she backed away a few steps at lightning-fast speed. " No need for this, Young Miss! I need to go back and do other work."


    " This girl¡­"


    Cai Yixue gave a faint smile as she sat before the table, practicing her calligraphy skills. " Hmm, He really hid his skill very well."


    When the Cai Yunhai and Jia Hao returned to the mansion, they were greeted by everyone in the Cai Family, making them feel like they just returned after winning the battle.


    " Alright, Everyone, Calm down." Cai Yunhai waved his hands, silencing everyone. " It''s true that our Cai Family haspleted the task given by His Majesty."


    " However, no matter how elevated our family status bes in future, I hope you all walk on the path ofw and righteousness set up by His Majesty."


    Everyone cheered after hearing Cai Yunhai''s words.


    " Long live Patriarch Cai!"

 Chapter 79: You Are Also Masters Property

    Returning to his courtyard, Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle. " Wife, won''t you wee back your husband?"


    " You were eventually going to return. Why should I greet you especially?" Cai Yixue raised her head and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Aw, Your husband did such fantastic work. Yet you are still acting cold towards him?" Jia Hao pouted.


    " Cut it, Why did you go to fight against that Moonlight Rapist all alone?" Cai Yixue asked with a light anger.


    " Hehe, Wife, were worried about me?"


    " Bah! Who is worried about you?"


    Cai Yixue pursed her lips. " I was just thinking how absurd it is for you to challenge someone so powerful despite being struck at the strength of the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm."


    " Even if he was injured, you didn''t have to fight with him. You could have died."


    " Well, Who said I am still at the Ninth stage of Body Strengthening Realm?" Jia Hao answered with a smirk.


    " Huh?"


    Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao, but then her eyes narrowed when she understood what Jia Hao meant by his words. " You¡­What are you talking about? Are you¡­sure?"


    " I don''t know¡­I haven''t measured my strength properly yet." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Wait a bit."


    Cai Yixue stood up as she hurriedly walked outside. After a few moments, she returned and asked Jia Hao to apany her to the training yard.


    " See that moss colored stone? That''s Profound Whetstone." Cai Yixue exined. " It''s a heavy and dense stone. Only a strength of Low stage Profound Awakening Realm and above can shatter it with their strength."


    " Why don''t you give it a try? If you can shatter it, we will know that you possess the strength of a Profound Awakening Realm practitioner."


    Jia Hao rolled his sleeves as he looked at the whetstone. " It''s not like I don''t want to do it¡­but Wife, you need to promise me some rewards."


    " What do you want?"


    " How about we kiss-"


    " No."


    Jia Hao didn''t give up as he expected such a reaction. " Then what about a little¡­affectionate hug?"


    " This¡­" Cai Yixue stammered when she heard that. " Only¡­Only inside the room."


    " Hehe¡­"


    Jia Hao grinned as he walked towards the whetstone. Raising his fist, he slowly gathered all energy into his fist as he activated his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts.


    " Cleansing Palm!"


    *BOOOM!*


    Jia Hao only felt a light sting as his palm shattered the whetstone, making it fall crumbling on the ground. Cai Yixue''s eyes turned wide when she saw that.


    " This¡­This is¡­You actually possess the power of Profound Awakening Realm?"


    She was utterly dumbfounded, as she knew it should be impossible.


    When she met Jia Hao for the first time, she felt that he was an ordinary young man without a trace of internal qi in his body. Despite eating the Crimson Vigor Pill and Body Tempering Pills, his strength should have stuck in the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm.


    However, he actually grew his strength in so less days, from being frail like a mortal schr to having strength rivaling a Profound Awakening Realm practitioner.


    '' How is this possible? Was he hiding his strength from the beginning? No, if that was the case, Father would have noticed it before.''


    '' Does that mean he truly grew his strength within a week? Did he find some natural heavenly treasures? Or he is a monster?''


    At that moment, Cai Yixue realized that her supposed to be nd and that ordinary marriage life wasn''t going to be nd anymore.


    As she was standing in a daze, she suddenly felt an arm tightening around her waist. Returning back to her sense, Cai Yixue realized she was in Jia Hao''s embrace.


    " Yo-You! What are you doing?!" Cai Yixue struggled as her cheeks flushed red.


    " What? I thought you gave your permission?" Jia Hao raised his brows yfully.


    " I said¡­Inside the room!"


    " Hehe, Wife, There is no one here. So, Does that matter?" Jia Hao grinned as he hugged Cai Yixue tighter, feeling her soft, cushiony body in his arms.


    " Tha-That''s enough already. You should let me...AHH!~"


    Cai Yixue''s body got electrified as she felt Jia Hao giving a light kiss on her neck. It was like a zing, making her body shiver.


    " Yo-Young Lady?"


    Both Jia Hao and Cai Yixue were petrified when they heard Minmin''s voice. Cai Yixue gathered all her strength and pushed Jia Hao away.


    " Rascal! One more time I¡­I will¡­Beat you!"


    Cai Yixue flustered as she shouted, making her looking very adorable.


    '' Wtf is this cute creature¡­''


    Jia Haoposed himself as he looked at Minmin. " Why you alwayse in wrong time, Minmin?"


    " Hmph! Who told you to take advantage of my miss in¡­open."


    Minmin spat out as she was also flustered.


    " Hehe, Minmin, Do you know that after marriage, the maids also bes the property of thedy''s husband?" Jia Hao gave a wicked grin.


    Minmin flustered as she imagined how Cai Yixue would be absent for a evening, so her devious Young Lord Jia would force his dominance over her petite body¡­


    " Kyaahhh~ You can''t do that!"


    Minmin closed her eyes as her body swayed, making her sweaty and flustered instantly.


    Cai Yixue''s face turned cold when she saw that. " Oh, You want Minmin?"


    " Wife, You misunderstood!" Jia Hao''s expression changed as he hurriedly backed away.


    " Hmph, I shall see thatter." Cai Yixue snorted as she looked at Minmin. " What happened, Minmin?"


    " Ah, Nothing. Your mother wish to meet you, Young Lady." Minmin bowed. Cai Yixue nodded as she turned around and followed Minmin.


    As they both walked out, Cai Yixue looked at Minmin again. " What is it? What else you want to say?"


    " Young Lady, I heard some rumors about Young Lord from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion." Minmin looked around and lowered her voice.


    " What rumors?"


    " Young Lord spending the night in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion." Minmin replied. " I mean¡­that kind of¡­spending night."


    " That doesn''t concern me." Cai Yixue snorted lightly.But then, after a moment, she asked in a small voice. " Who is it?"


    " Xu Chen, the youngest of Three Flowers of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion." Minming pursed her lips.


    " It''s said that she only sold her skills and not her body. However, After Young Lord entered her boudoir¡­ I heard Xu Chen couldn''t walk the next morning."


    " Hmph! Truly a rouge bastard." Cai Yixue spat out as she hurried away.


    " Well, Young Lord certainly possess the ability to do so." Minmin smacked her lips as she remembered seeing Jia Hao''s naked body.


    " Why don''t you go to him tonight? I doubt he would refuse you."


    " Yo-Youngdy! I don''t mean that!" Minmin replied with a sour voice.


    " This girl¡­"

 Chapter 80: Virtuous Pilgrim

    After that, Jia Hao spent some time with the Cai Family at the dinner. And as he suspected, Cai Yunhai used this chance to rob the bottle of Maotai from him.


    " Damn it! Xiao Hao, How do you keep so many things in your sleeve?"Cai Yunhai smacked his lips as he finished two sses at once.


    " Now you said it, Don''t tell me you have something like Endless Sleeve or Meru Pouch?" Li Rou looked at Jia Hao with interest.


    " Hehe, What does Mother in Law think?"


    " I don''t need to think about it." With a light smile, Li Rou dismissed her question.


    " Well, Since the problem of this has settled, we can work on expanding our business, no?" Jia Hao proposed.


    " What do you mean, Xiao Hao?" Li Rou became amused. " Ah, are you talking about the food stores? You want to renew them with your new recipes and sauces?"


    " Mother inw is wise."


    " Well, I just heard that the punishment box I created after Zhu Wuya''s death already collected more than 150,000 taels of gold." Cai Yunhai sighed.


    " Those bastards, I never thought they sapped so much money."


    " But I guess Cai Family has enough for the business expenditure." Jia Hao smiled. " Don''t worry about the sauces, I will see that. However, I hope the Cai Family would tighten the scrutiny around the chefs."


    " After all, Once our shops gain poprity, the other forces would try their best to get their hands on our recipe. Therefore¡­"


    " Don''t worry about that." Li Rou waved her hands. " Under the gaze of our Cai Family, no one can do anything suspicious."


    Jia Hao chatted and expressed some of the ns for the new business, making Cai Yixue and Li Rou surprised. Meanwhile, Cai Yunhai was only nodding as his face already be red due to the maotai.


    " Unngh, Rourou¡­Let''s go to the bedroom."


    " This person¡­"


    Li Rou sighed as she held Cai Yunhai and got up. " Alright, Both of you should now go and sleep."


    " Yes, Mother."


    As Jia Hao and Cia Yixue retired back to the room, Jia Hao looked at him.


    " Since everything is done here¡­I should go back now. Besides, I have to collect materials to get various materials." Jia Hao spoke in a low voice.


    Cai Yixue remained silent for a moment as she nodded. " I understand. Although I don''t know where you go¡­I believe you don''t have any ulterior motive."


    " So, Rest well."


    " You are noting to sleep?" Jia Hao asked.


    " No, I still have some reports to see." Cai Yixue smiled faintly.


    For some reason, Jia Hao felt that smile dimly lit inmp light extremely enchanting.


    '' Wow, My wife is so¡­beautiful.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Waking up, Jia Hao found himself in the bedroom of Su Family Manor. As he got up, he suddenly felt an illusory shattering inside his body.


    It was like a faint barrier inside his body broke, arrowing him to reach a new stage.


    At that moment, three strings of white light appeared before Jia Hao and shone above him, giving him warmth like morning sunlight.


    As the light drilled inside his body, they seamlessly merged inside the foundation of his dantian, making its illusory self even more corporeal.


    '' I¡­ I havepleted the Complete Transformation stage and finished the Body Tempering Chapter of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art?''


    '' Now, The second chapter is called Virtuous Pilgrim chapter.'' Jia Hao became mused in his thoughts.


    '' When I read the technique before, there were many parts I didn''t understand. However, now I am cultivating it, they opened to me like mist fading before the truth.''


    The Virtuous Pilgrim chapter, It''s not a stage where I can strengthen my body just by devouring medicinal pills or treasures.''


    '' Although it does rely on the natural energy of heaven and earth, it''s the secondary energy. The primary energy is called¡­Virtue.''


    Yes, it''s called virtue. And what Jia Hao received was the karmic energy of virtue.


    As its name implies, heaven always rewards virtuous work. However, not many people can harness it. This Virtuos Pilgrim chapter allows the practitioner to condense their foundation by using the energy of virtuous karma.


    The more impact your virtuous deeds have on the world, the more karmic energy one will umte.


    '' But it''s not that easy. One need do it spontaneously, out of their own heart.''


    For example, Jia Hao can use all his money to feed all the homeless people in the city. Although it would yield some good karma, it won''t be much.


    Meanwhile, if Jia Hao walked on the road and genuinely gave food to a truly poor man, he would get a much better quality of virtuous karma.


    As the chapter states, it''s not about one''s wishes. It''s about one''s heart and the arrangement of heaven itself.


    '' The energy I got probably umted by saving the Su Family from viins and saving Jiang Ruoyu. Although it''s not much, but it is what it is.''


    '' Hmm, Perhaps traveling through the world gave me a little push, making meplete the first chapter? But, I wonder if the virtuous karma for killing Moonlight Rapist would follow me here, or I need to go back to Yun Continent to check it.''


    Closing his eyes, Jia Hao sensed his own foundation inside his dantian. It appeared to be illusory and had a gray color, filled with numerous cracks. However, the virtuous karma filled a bit of those cracks, giving him a bit more strength.


    '' At the Virtuous Pilgrim stage, I can tap into the extreme Yang energy cultivated by the Buddhist practitioners. Pure and zing like the sun, righteous like a judge''s sword, that''s the Yang energy.''


    '' Too bad I am not a virgin. Else it would be a few times more powerful.''


    But of course, Jia Hao had no regret about this. He was cultivating the technique solely for power. He had no intention of living like a monk in some monastery, without wine, meat, and women.


    As it was alreadyte, Jia Hao walked down the stairs and saw Su Lan walking out of her room.


    " Good Morning, Big Sister Lan." Jia Hao smiled. Su Lan rubbed her eyes as she also smiled back.


    " Good morning, Hao''er. You didn''t go with Xing''er to jog?"


    " I was feeling a bit tired yesterday. So, I didn''t go." Jia Hao shrugged.


    Suddenly, Su Lan walked to Jia Hao as her finger gently traced his abs.


    " Strange, Why do I think your body is growing more explosively? I feel you became more¡­robust and manly." Su Lan frowned.


    " Hehe, Sister Lan, I guess you are still in sleep." Jia Hao gave a cheekyugh. " Or¡­Perhaps you are only thinking about me?"


    " Bahh! Hao''er, How can you say that?"


    Su Lan blushed as she looked away. But for some strange reason, her heart was jumping wildly.


    '' En¡­He does look more handsome.''

 Chapter 81: Equal Rights, Equal Fights

    Gently opening her eyes, Cai Yixue found her breasts weren''t crushing on anyone''s face. Slowly looking at the side, she realized it was empty.


    '' He left, huh?''


    Not long after she woke up, Minmin arrived, holding a basin of cold water.


    " Anyone saw him leaving?"


    " No one, Young Miss."


    " How enigmatic." Cai Yixuemented as she washed her face.Getting up and feeling the morning sunlight, Cai Yixue fell into deep thoughts.


    However, before she could leave, her gaze fell on a piece of paper on the table. Taking it, her lips curled as she read the long and cheesy love poem, personally written by Jia Hao.


    '' The handwriting, It''s so ugly.''


    Still, her smile didn''t diminished.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Going to school, Jia Hao sat in his usual seat. Not long after, Lin Mei also came, sitting beside Jia Hao.


    " Um¡­Good Morning."


    " Morning." Jia Hao replied nonchntly.


    However, after greeting back, he remained silent, making Lin Mei annoyed.


    " What? You should give a pretty girl some attention after she initiates a conversation with you, you know?" Lin Mei spoke in an annoyed voice.


    " Oh? Could it be you are already falling for me?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he grinned at Lin Mei.


    Lin Mei felt at a loss for words when she heard that. Shouldn''t it be the other way around? That was something that she was supposed to say to Jia Hao, no?


    " Whatever, Dad has been pestering me to be friends with you, you know? What did you do in the corporate party that night?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao curiously.


    " Well, How should I say it? Business talks with businessmen?" Jia Hao gave a faint smile.


    " Hmph! If you don''t want to tell me, don''t tell me. Just don''t make riddles before me."


    Jia Hao chuckled when he saw how Lin Mei had been tamed.


    How should he put it? Lin Mei always has been an airhead and full of pride. However, once someone stronger appears before her, she bes submissive.


    '' Hmm, If Fang Hao hadn''t appeared, Lin Mei would have turned into a total bitch.'' Jia Hao brooded in his mind.


    " Well, Are you free today?"


    " Why do you ask?"


    " How about we go somewhere?" Lin Mei proposed. " I mean, You are my boyfriend now, aren''t you? You should spend time with me."


    " Oh? How about we go to shopping then?" Jia Hao grinned. " I am sure I can take care of you in¡­changing room."


    " Rouge!" Lin Mei blushed instantly as she remembered how Jia Hao molested her inside the shopping mall''s changing room.


    But now thinking about it, Lin Mei liked it so much that she dreamed of it for two nights.


    " What is it, my girlfriend? Are you already getting excited?" Jia Hao smiled at Lin Mei, making her heart flutter.


    " I¡­ Did you spray some special cologne on you? Or¡­ I don''t think you used any makeup."


    " Why do you think so?" Jia Hao tilted his head.


    " Because you are looking he attractive today." Lin Mei didn''t blush as she replied straightforwardly.


    " Oh, Thanks for thepliment."


    Jia Hao leaned back in his seat as he wasughing in his heart. Cultivating the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art increased the innate Yang energy inside his body.


    As opposite attracts such pure Yang energy would attract the Yin of the females.


    Not to mention, by having the sapling of desire, he also gained a sort of charm all over his body. So both techniquesplement each other, making Jia Hao''s charm unique and masculine.


    " Ahem, So since we were talking about going somewhere, How about we go to the West Lake?"


    " West Lake, for what?" Jia Hao looked at her as he suddenly thought about something.


    " Ah, You mean the illegal street race?"


    " Hehe, It looks like you are well informed." Lin Mei chuckled." Why? I think you are interested, no?"


    " Well, I am." Jia Hao nodded. " Are you just going to sightsee or¡­participate for real?"


    " My driving skills are very good. But, still far from being a champion." Lin Mei stretched her arms as she sighed.


    " The main reason I am going to buy a Pink Pearl special edition Porsche. If everything remains good, I will try to buy that from that guy."


    As its name implies, the West Lake Racing Tournament is filled with all the hot shots from the entire Azure Province. Of course, there are some ultra luxurious cars there.


    '' Hmm, I think I remember there is an achievement there. Since I am going there, I might as well take it.''


    However, Jia Hao felt that the school was utterly boring. Other than a few studious kids, those who are rich kids barely remain here after first ss.


    As expected, Lin Mei slept after the second ss. Jia Hao was also grumbling when he realized there wasn''t a single beautiful teacher in this damned academy.


    '' Oh wait! Teacher?''''


    Jia Hao''s eyes brightened up as he suddenly thought about someone. Checking his phone, he confirmed the date with a nod.


    '' If everything goes alright, that woman would appear, right? Hehe, if I can seize the chance, I might be able to get her.'' Jia Hao grinned as he thought about a certain female teacher.


    Hot body, cold face, a strict teacher yielding to student''s demands. Jia Hao was already getting excited about that.


    However, in the meantime, he also needs to prepare other things for the Cai Family in the Yun continent.


    Without saying anything, he walked out of the ss and called Sun Shuang.


    It didn''t take long before someone picked it.


    " Uncle Sun, It''s me, Jia Hao." Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice.


    " Haha! It''s Xiao Hao? I was about to call you today or tomorrow." Sun Shuang replied with a heartyugh.


    " Thank you so much for that snow lion statue. That thing was truly effective! Combined with Elder Xu''s fengshui formation, our house returned to its normal state."


    " Not to mention, My father also made a full recovery. He is now healthy and well. All thanks to you, Xiao Hao."


    " I just did what I should have, Uncle Sun."Jia Hao chuckled." Have you thought about dealing with Lin Tao?"


    " I have. However, if you wantplete annihtion of his, we need to gather some more proof." Sun Shuang replied.


    " What kind of proof? I want Uncle Sun to borate it."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, I will send someone to you. Anything you need, you can talk to her on behalf of mine."


    Jia Hao''s expression turned odd when he heard that. He knew Sun Shuang is a shrewd businessman. So, he wondered what he has thought about him.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s expression changed as he felt someone spanking his ass.


    " What the!!"


    Turning around, he saw it was none other than Lin Mei, who was grinning foolishly.


    " What are you standing here for?"


    " Miss, You just sexually assaulted me, you know?"


    Jia Hao turned around and looked at Lin Mei with a strange gaze.


    " What? You are saying I sexually assaulted you?" Lin Mei was surprised.


    " Hmm, Isn''t that such a privilege for you?" A sly grin appeared on her face. " Don''t you know, girls can''t sexually assault guys?"


    Jia Hao''s face twitched when he heard that. '' This bitch¡­''


    Suddenly, Lin Mei yelped as she got hold by Jia Hao.


    " Miss, I guess you arecking some serious education. No worries, I will slowly teach them to you."


    " So, Today''s lesson is¡­ Equal rights, equal fights."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    In the washroom, it was much more pristine and shining than the dining hall. With each cubicle is a joint toilet along with a showering room.


    " Well, Are seeing Lin Mei hanging out with that Jia Hao?"


    " True. I didn''t know Jia Hao would turn into such a hottie. That bitch made the first move, eh?"


    " Mmm, Maybe I should ask for Jia Hao''s number from her?"


    " Mnnphff!~"


    " Hmm?"


    " Did you hear any noise?"


    Two girls looked at each other as they noticed some muffled pants from a cubicle.


    " Umm, Excuse me¡­"


    " Hmph! Shu Ran¡­What are you shouting for? It''s¡­Me!"


    Both girls recognized Lin Mei as their expressions changed. " Ah, Meimei, We were just¡­"


    " Ahem, never mind, Are you alright?"


    " I am fine¡­Just¡­period cramps."


    " Oh, It''s alright then¡­"


    Both girls looked at each other as they left the bathroom.


    Meanwhile, inside the cubicle¡­


    Jia Hao sat on the toilet seat while Lin Mei sat on hisp, straddling his waist and looking at her. Her uniform was lifted, and her bra was hanging on the side, revealing her perfect pair of breasts.


    " You-You rogue! Wh-What if we get caught? Hnnngh!~"


    She gasped for air as she felt Jia Hao''s lips relishing the vor of her breasts. His palm was inside her panties, slowly kneading her ass like dough.


    " Jia Hao! You-Mmmnnph!~"


    Lin Mei''s voice was silenced by Jia Hao''s kiss. Their tongue twisted around each other, tasting each other''s saliva.


    " Lin Mei, Now say¡­" Jia Hao grinned. " What did you learn?"


    " Equ-Equal rights¡­.equal¡­fights...consequences...Ahnn!~"

 Chapter 82: Street Race Betting

    Late evening, Lin Mei picked Jia Hao up and drove straight to the West Lake.


    " Oh? Not going to say good evening?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Hmph! I am not going to talk with you anymore." Lin Mei snorted as she drove the car without looking at Jia Hao.


    " Eh? Are you angry?" Jia Hao grinned. " About what happened in the school."


    Lin Mei grumbled but didn''t answer. However, her expression changed as she felt Jia Hao''s hand lifting up her skirt, slowly rubbing her snow white thighs.


    " Wh-What are you doing, you rascal! I am still driving!"


    " I believe you can multitask." Jia Haoughed as he kept rubbing her thighs like that.


    " I didn''t enjoy that! I did not enjoy what happened in the school!" Lin Mei refused to admit it.


    " Oh? Then who it was who squirted so good, Hmm? And even after squirting, you help me and kiss me crazily,"


    Hearing Jia Hao''s nonchnt yet perverted words, Lin Mei felt her face turning hot from shame and embarrassment.


    " I didn''t do that, You forced me to do that."


    " Alright, Whatever you say." Jia Hao chuckled as he leaned back.


    He had to admit that Lin Mei''s driving skill was top notch. And he didn''t care if she got a driving license or not. Because in Eastern Sea City, he doubted the police would catch Chairman Lin''s daughter.


    '' Ah, the privilege of the rich is truly great.'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly.


    Not long after, they arrived near the West Lake. A ring road covered the banks of West Lake, letting the viewers tour around it. However, currently, the road was lit with neon lights as a lot of people gathered there.


    Jia Hao was also a bit excited as he participated in West Lake street racing in the Urban Fantasy. In fact, it''s a mini game here, where the people can drive pixel cars.


    Getting out of the car, Lin Mei stretched her body as she walked towards the main gate. Casually, she showed two passes, letting the man at the gate nod as he let them walk inside.


    " So, What are we doing first? Going watch the race or¡­"


    " There is still some time." Lin Mei replied. " Meanwhile, Why not tour around here a bit?"


    They arrived in a lounge where Jia Hao could see many rich boys and girls having a party. Wine and money were simply thrown around.


    " Hey, Handsome. Wanna have a drink?"


    The moment Jia Hao arrived, he instantly attracted a few girls. However, before they could reach, Lin Mei stood beside him, hugging his arms.


    " Fuck off, Bitches, He is mine."


    Lin Mei knew these were the gold diggers who were giving the young men some time to get money in return. And, there is no way she would let them reach there.


    Hearing Lin Mei''s snarls, two of them instantly backed away. However, they didn''t give up as they winked at Jia Hao before going away.


    " Fuck, We just came here and my mood is ruined." Lin Mei puffed her cheeks. However, she shivered as she felt a pair of strong arms wrapping her waist.


    " Aww, Someone is jealous?" Jia Hao grinned. " Don''t worry, Tonight, I will give my attention solely on you."


    " Really?"


    " Probably¡­"


    " Hmph, I knew it!"


    Lin Mei snorted as she twisted the waist of Jia Hao, making him yelp. " Fuck! It hurts!"


    " Serves you right."


    Lin Mei smiled proudly, understanding that she could assert some authority over Jia Hao.


    '' Besides¡­If he wants to punish me again, it won''t be too bad¡­''


    '' Huh? Damn it! You foolish girl!''


    Lin Mei hurriedly shook her head, trying to discard these thoughts from her heart. ''What the hell are you thinking?''


    " Huh? Are you alright?" Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei with a weird expression.


    " Yeah, I am¡­I am fine." Lin Mei nodded as she spotted a man. " There, The owner of the Pink Pear Porsche."


    Lin Mei walked straight to the man, who looked like he was in histe twenties.


    " Are you the owner of the Pink Pearl?"


    " Ah, You must be the person who contacted me online." The man nodded with a smile. " I didn''t expect you to be a lovelydy."


    " I don''t have any time for chit chat. Just give me the price."


    " However, Thirty million Yuan? This a special edition model and it will be suitable for a charmingdy for you."


    " Fifteen million. Take it or leave it." Jia Hao spoke.


    " What? Fifteen million? It''s too low!" The man was stunned. " You just cleaved the price in half!"


    " Fifteen million, That''s the final offer." Jia Hao spoke in a mild voice.


    " Hmph, I guess we aren''t having any deals here." The man snorted as he turned around, focusing on the girl sitting beside him.


    " Jia Hao, Just pay him the money. It''s not that much." Lin Mei tugged Jia Hao''s sleeves.


    " You should learn bargaining, Lin mei." Jia Hao chuckled. " Especially those who are selling cars gained by illegal means."


    Hearing Jia Hao, the man became rmed as he looked at Jia Hao. " Wh-What? What the hell are you talking about."


    " Why do you care? You know very well what I am talking about." Jia Hao snorted lightly.


    " Fifteen million is a fair deal, no?"


    " I¡­I guess so."


    The man felt a shiver in his heart when he looked at Jia Hao''s cold and calcting gaze. " Fifteen million, I shall take it."


    Lin Mei''s mouth became wide when she saw the man agreeing to Jia Hao''s proposal. Swiftly, she paid the man money and got the keys of the Pink Pearl Porsche.


    " How did you cut the price in half and still manage to make him agree?" Lin Mei asked in a curious voice.


    " Well, Most here dealing with cars do shady businesses. That Porsche, he probably got it from a car robber. And, fifteen million is already a good price in the ck market."


    Of course, he knew such information because he yed the Urban Fantasy. Here, As long as you meet the car sellers, they will try to sell the cars at the highest price.


    However, in the game, if you know the way, you can directly sh the price in half and get the amazing cars easily.


    But of course, one needs to do a few side quests and get the achievement of ''Price sher'' to get the option of negotiation.


    Thankfully, Jia Hao wasn''t bounded by limited choices, so he could easily sh the price in half.


    " Damn it, How do you know so many things?" Lin Mei hated it, but she was amazed. " Next time, you must apany me in shopping. You are a good bargainer."


    " Hmph, Don''t you have a lot of money? Why bargain?" Jia Hao chuckled, throwing her words back to her.


    " Alright. Come with me. We should watch the race now."


    " Wait a bit, Let me buy a bucket of fried chicken and drinks." Lin Mei chuckled as she walked away.


    Soon, Jia Hao and Lin Mei got the spot as they saw the luxurious sports car lining up on the racingne.


    " Alright, Ladies and gentlemen, It''s time to increase our blood rush!"


    " ce your bets on your favorite drivers! Come on, Let the money flow in!"


    Jia Hao smirked when he saw the cars. Soon, a woman with a voluptuous body walked to the side, holding the ck and white square g.


    However, instead of waving the g, she pulled down her panties under her frock and raised it in the air.


    " All ready?!"


    " 3¡­2¡­2! GO!"


    *VROOM! VROOM! VROOOOOOOOOOM!!*


    The car engines roared like machine beasts as everyone stepped on the elerator. The moment the panties fell from her hand, the cars turned into blurs as they rushed past her, greeting a gale of wind.


    The cameraman, of course, didn''t forget to focus on her frock which got lifted by the wind.


    " Damn it! I love racing! It makes me so excited!" Linn Mei clenched her fist as she slurped from her slushie.


    Jia Hao took a bite from the chicken leg as he turned around, looking at the big screens, which live telecast the race from drones following the cars.


    " Alright, Time to bet." Jia Hao grinned.


    " I think that Golden Wasp would win." Lin Mei spoke. Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as an evil idea appeared in his mind.


    " How about this, My dear girlfriend? If you win the bet, I will do one thing you ask me to do. And If I win, vice versa would happen."


    Hearing Jia Hao''s proposal, Lin Mei fell into deep thought.


    '' Hmph, I think it''s his first time here. I should you use this chance to put him in his ce.''


    Determined, she nodded. " Why, Of course, I would bet with you. Just don''t go back on your words."


    " Don''t worry, I won''t." Jia Haoughed as he got up, walking towards the betting booth.


    " Two million Yuan on the Purple Star."


    " Two million?"


    " Who is this rich kid?"


    Suddenly, everyone''s attention fell on Jia Hao.

 Chapter 83: Hidden Achievement

    Usually, the starting price of a bet starts from a thousand yuan. And the avid gamblers bet tens of thousands to hundred thousand yuan in one go.


    However, Millions at once? Only the richest young masters and yboys would throw money that casually.


    A sexy girl was sitting on the counter. Her eyelid fluttered as she looked at Jia Hao, gazing at the handsome young man standing before her.


    " Uh, Handsome Brother, Are you sure?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he swiped his card, paying two million instantly. " I hope you don''t have any doubts anymore."


    " Hehe, Of course. I don''t."


    The girl smiled as she passed a token to Jia Hao. " Keep this safe, Handsome Brother."


    " Of course."


    Going back to Lin Mei, Jia Hao sat down and watched the race. Lin Mei chuckled. " How much you betted?"


    " Only two million."


    " What?!


    Lin Mei was baffled when she heard that. She thought Jia Hao spends his money carefully. She didn''t expect him to gamble two million at once.


    " Are you that confident?"


    " You will see."


    The broadcast of the race waspletely high definition as everyone watched the big screens eagerly. As the driverspeted against each other, a golden Camero sped past everyone as it burned nitro.


    " And, Golden Wasp already secured a tight lead! Is he going to win the race?"


    " Oh my, That Camero is very fast."


    " I guess Golden Wasp is going to win today."


    Lin Mei grinned when she watched the scene. " What do you say, my dear boyfriend? Are you ready to lose?"


    " Tsk, The race is still ongoing." Jia Hao chuckled as he focused back on the screen.


    Suddenly, with a burst of purple mes, a violet Lamborghini turned into a blur, chasing after the Golden Wasp''s car. The moment nitro ended in Golden Wasp, his car slowed down.


    However, the violetmbo was already near, chasing right behind Golden Wasp''s tail.


    With another burst, the Lamborghini finally went past Golden Wasp, crossing the finishing line.


    " Wh-What?!"


    " What the hell happened? How did Golden Wasp lose?!"


    " My money! Fuck! I betted a hundred thousand on him!"


    Jia Hao grinned when he saw that, looking at Lin Mei closing her wide open mouth.


    " Close your mouth, else mosquito will get inside."


    " What the fuck! How did Purple Star win?!" Lin Mei was baffled when she saw the result.


    " Well, I told you. One shouldn''t count the hatchlings before the egg hatches." Jia Hao grinned, " Alright, Let me go and retrieve my money."


    His two million already turned into six million. Withdrawing the money, Jia Hao spent four million on betting, picking another driver for next round.


    Again, He easily doubled the money, making the people around him jealous.


    " Fuck! This is cheating!"


    " Yes! The match is fixed!"


    As for the third round, Jia Hao betted four million on a small driver.


    " Damn it, Can you see the future?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao with narrowed eyes. " So, You going to win the bet once again?"


    " Nope, This time, Golden Wasp will win." Jia Hao replied calmly.


    " Huh? Then why did you bet on Green Li?" Lin Mei was surprised. If Jia Hao knew who was going to win, why was he betting on someone who was going to lose?"


    " Well, I already earned a lot. It''s natural for me to spend some money, right?"


    Lin Mei turned speechless when she heard Jia Hao''s reasoning. Soon enough, Golden Wasp won the race, making Jia Hao lose four million yuan at once.


    As Jia Hao walked to the betting counter, he withdrew the remaining amount of money with ease.


    He won fourteen million total and lost four million. So he can still withdraw ten million yuan.


    People had mixed reactions when they saw Jia Hao. He lost four million, but he was still in profit.


    " Fuck! I hate this!"


    " I lost all my money today! Why heavens are so unfair!"


    " The rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer."


    " Heh, I guess your wisdom ising after losing money, huh?"


    The girl chuckled when she saw Jia Hao. " Handsome Brother, You really earned quite a lot tonight."


    " Just pocket changes, nothing much." Jia Haoughed as he collected the ten million in cash.


    Flipping the money, he gave ten thousand yuan to that girl. " Your tip, Enjoy."


    The girl was stunned when she saw that. With a bright smile, she collected it. " Well, Handsome Brother, You have a message."


    " Oh?"


    " Someone wishes to meet you."


    " Well, I have time, I guess?" Jia Hao smiled. Soon, two bulky men came to Jia Hao and escorted him away.


    Near the bank of the West Lake, one could see the moonlight reflecting on the rippling wave.


    The ce was also lit up by car headlights as a few people were watching the race on another screen.


    " Ah, You are the patron who spent millions this evening, huh?" A man wearing a leopard fur coat looked at Jia Hao with a smile.


    " Well, Nothing to mention before Brother Biao. I am just ying around with my girlfriend." Jia Haoughed lightly.


    " En, I noticed Li Tao''s daughter. However, I don''t think I know you." Brother Biao smiled at Jia Hao.


    " Soon, you will, Brother Biao." Jia Haoughed lightly. " If Brother Biao wants to know something in Eastern Sea City, I don''t think anything would be hidden from you."


    " Haha, I like you, Little Brother. Why do I feel it''s you who wanted to meet with me?"


    " Well, Because I heard you have an amazing treasure in your possession, Brother Biao." Jia Hao smiled as he looked at Brother Biao.


    " The special V8 Nitro X Engine, I would like you to prepare a car with that."


    " Hoho, Little Brother, You know too many things, eh? Do you know how much that costs??"


    " As long as It''s below A billion, I can afford it." Jia Haoughed lightly. " Besides, I know Brother Biao would gift it to me for free."


    " For free? Why do you think so?" Brother Biao''s eyes narrowed.


    " Because I know the location of *that* person." Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile. " Should I tell you?"


    Brother Biao''s expression changed instantly when he heard that. " Yo-You¡­"


    " 13th Street, South Block, A three story apartment."


    Brother Biao stood up as he looked at his subordinate. " Why the hell are you standing here?! Hurry and check if that bastard is still there!"


    " Hehe, Brother Biao, I shall go back and watch the race. If you wish to reward me, You can call me back."


    Brother Biao looked at Jia Hao with a strange gaze when he saw him turning around and leaving.


    " This brat¡­Who is he?"


    Only half an hourter, Lin Mei and Jia Hao were still watching the race. However, the henchmen of Brother Biao invited them once again, with more respect this time.


    Lin Mei followed Jia Hao to meet Brother Biao. " Jia Hao, who are they? What do they want from you?"


    " They want to reward me, Lin Mei." Jia Hao grinned. " It''s just a simple transaction."


    " Haha! Brother Jia, You are truly my lucky star." Brother Biaoughed when he saw Jia Hao. " Thanks to you, I managed to catch a rat who had been evading my pursuit for months."


    " Well, I needed a car to match my status. And only Brother Biao can give that to me." Jia Haoughed lightly.


    " Of course, As you said, You shall get a car with V8 Nitro X Engine for free. I shall gift you one of my masterpieces." Brother Biaoughed.


    " However, Brother Biao, Along with that, I hope you can give me another thing."


    " Eh? What is it?" Brother Biao looked at Jia Hao with curious gaze.


    " That pendant you are wearing. How about giving it to me, as token of brotherhood?" Jia Hao pointed at the small pendant on Brother Biao''s neck.


    " Heh, As I thought, You really have good eyes." Brother Biao was stunned for a moment before nodding. " I kept this pendant with me for years. But I guess, It will do good in your hands."


    The moment Jia Hao held it, a strange prompt appeared in his mind.


    [ An otherworldly flow of knowledge detected! Does the Host willing to absorb it?]


    '' Yes.''


    Suddenly, with a sting of pain in his brain, a flow of information appeared in Jia Hao''s brain.


    '' Finally, I got the achievement of ''Genius Mechanic.''


    The Genius Mechanic Title is a hidden quest in Urban Fantasy Game. To get it, one needs to spend over ten million yuan in betting on the West Lake Street Race.


    After that, they will get invited by Brother Biao and need to increase their friendship level with him. After that, Brother Biao would give a quest, to locate a man who cheated him.


    After a series of clues and findings, the yer needs to give that man to Brother Biao. And in the end, they will get the V8 Nitro X Engine with a car as a gift.


    However, at this point, the quest isn''t over. After that, The yer still needs to appease Brother Biao and increase his trust. Only when Brother Biao gives the yer his pendant, they will get the ''Genius Mechanic'' Title.


    As for its effect, crafting ingenious items and proficiency in working with machines increase by 100%. It''s a powerful cheat that helps the yer to steamroll many difficulties in the game with ease.


    And, Jia Hao got it.

 Chapter 84: Winners Demand (Mild R-18)

    Jia Hao was excited when he saw he had gotten the achievement he wanted. '' I wonder to what extent I can use this power? I should try and use it when I would be free.''


    " Haha, Since everything is done here, we should go back." Jia Hao turned around, holding Lin Mei, and started to leave.


    '' What an interesting young man.'' Brother Biao rubbed his chin as he saw Jia Hao and Lin Mei leaving.


    " You are sure weird. How do you know so many weird people?" Lin Mei couldn''t help but ask.


    " Well, I am just¡­That good." Jia Hao shrugged. " On the other hand, Aren''t you forgetting about something?"


    Lin Mei''s steps faltered when she heard that, clearly understanding what Jia Hao meant. However, she pretended to not understand anything.


    " I¡­I don''t know what you are talking about." Lin Mei blushed, walking straight towards her car. " It''s gettingte, We should leave."


    " Oh?"


    Jia Haoughed inwardly when he saw how evasive Lin Mei was being. Without saying anything, He got into the car, and Lin Mei started to drive back.


    However, as they reached the middle of nowhere, Jia Hao spoke, " Stop the car."


    Lin Mei stepped on the brakes as she stopped the car. " What? Why do you want me to stop the car?"


    " Well, Since you forgot, Let me remind you." Jia Hao grinned. " The loser shall listen to the winner, I guess we had a bet on that, no?"


    " Yo-You¡­Fine!" Lin Mei bit her lips as she nced at Jia Hao. " What do you want?"


    " Well, Get on the back seat."


    Lin Mei sighed as she realized no matter what, she wouldn''t be able to escape Jia Hao''s clutch.


    Jia Hao''s hands were skilled as he undressed Lin Mei almost instantly.Lin Mei''s body shivered as she used her arms instinctively to cover her breast and pussy.


    '' Is he going to do it? Am I finally going to do it?'' Her body and heart, both shivered from a strange anticipation.


    When Jia Hao took off his dress, Lin Mei gasped lightly when she saw his toned muscles, tightly packed like bricks. Instinctively, she stretched her hand, caressing the his abs.


    '' Fuck! How can he be so well endowed? I thought he was very skinny a month ago?'' Lin Mei swallowed her words as her eyes gazed down, almost turning wide when she saw Jia Hao''s little brother.


    " Erm¡­That''s so¡­Big."


    " Isn''t it?" Jia Hao chuckled as his index finger gently traced the skin of Lin Mei, from her neck to between her cleavage, all the way till her abdomen.


    His touch was sensual, with each passing moment gave Lin Mei an unknow thrill.


    " Jia Hao¡­We¡­We can''t do¡­that." Lin Mei looked at away as she pleaded in a meek voice.


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, We aren''t going to have sex right now. This ce is too cramped." His finger traced further below, also making Lin Mei let out a whimper.


    " The-Then? What do you¡­want to do?"


    " How about a little forey, hm?"


    " Mmn? Wa-Wait! Nnnghh!~"


    Lin Mei''s body jolted as her hips bucked forward, allowing Jia Hao better ess to her sensitive folds. His fingers traced there masterfully, making each stroke full of bilss.


    After stroking her sacred well for a while, Jia Hao stopped abruptly. Lin Mei flinched when she saw Jia Hao adjusting her position.


    " What''s¡­Now?"


    " Well, It''s not fair that only you get the pleasure, no?" Jia Hao rubbed his palm.


    " Then¡­What do you suggest?"


    " Lin Mei¡­Have you ever heard of a funny number called 69?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " I¡­ I did. But why is it funny?"


    " Heh¡­Let me show you then,"


    When Jia Hao exined Lin Mei the position, she couldn''t help but flush like crazy.


    " Damn it! This is so embarrassing! You sure want to do it?" Lin Mei spat out. But seeing Jia Hao smiling, she couldn''t help but sigh.


    Well, The loser had toply the winner, right?


    '' Yes, It''s only because of that¡­ It''s not like I am doing it out of my own desire.'' Lin Mei''s brain exined to her heart as her legs parted above Jia Hao''s face.


    Slowly, she sat down, and the lips between her legs kissed by Jia Hao''s lips. She lt out a soft moan as she leaned forward, looking at the erect rod between Jia Hao''s legs, standing proudly.


    Leaning forward, she gently stroked his rod, while gasping at the movement of Jia Hao''s lips on her folds.


    " Hmm, You trimmed your hair down here, hm?" Jia Hao grinned. " Come on, Let''s see who is going to reach climax first."


    " Hmph, This time, I won''t lose."


    Taking a deep breath, Lin Mei leaned forward, her tongue darted out as she took a small lick of the forbidden popsicle of Jia Hao.


    The salty and musky scent of that area was like a burning match, which ignited all the lustful feelings in her heart.


    Slowly she parted her lips and engulfed Jia Hao''s rod in her mouth, slowly bobbing her head up and down.


    " Nnggh¡­This feels so¡­Good."


    Lin Mei smirked when she felt Jia Hao''s body shivering under her. She felt like she had a chance to beat Jia Hao in his own game.


    Without any further thinking, her tongue twirled around the pink tip of Jia Hao''s spear as she kept using her mouth to suck it.


    Jia Hao felt an amazing feeling from his lower body, but he didn''t back away either. His tongue darted out, parting the swollen folds and entering inside Lin Mei''s sacred well.


    With twisting his tongue, the tip gently grazed against the pleasure spot inside Lin Mei''s sacred well, making her body jolt.


    " Ahnnng!~ You¡­Bastard¡­.You are¡­Too good."


    Lin Mei whimpered as she pressed her folds more on Jia Hao''s lips. However, she didn''t forget to keep sucking his rod. Thinking about something, her hand gently scratched the base of Jia Hao''s shaft.


    Not to mention, she also cupped his balls, teasing him there while her mouth took more and more of the shaft inside it.


    " Nnngh¡­It''s not only you¡­Who can do this¡­"


    Jia Hao raised his hand as his thumb and index finger gently rubbed the pink pearl on Lin Mei''s folds, making her moan loudly.


    " OAhnnn! Yess!~ It feels¡­So fucking¡­Good!"


    " Nnnggh!~ Jia Hao, I am cumming!~"


    " I am cumming too !"


    Lin Mei could feel Jia Hao''s rod pulsing in her mouth as she almost pulled out.


    However, thick white threads of fluid shot into her face, drenching her face and dripping on her breasts. Some of it went to her mouth, making her taste a salty and pungent vor.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao''s face was drenched by the oozing nectar, spilling straight from her sacred well.


    Both panted as Lin Mei got up, lying on Jia Hao while facing her.


    " How was it?" Jia Hao caressed the sweaty back of Lin Mei, making her rx further."


    " Nngh¡­I have to admit¡­It was¡­.good." Lin Mei muttered, still feeling the aftertaste of their deed.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    After a while, Jia Hao arrived back in Su Family mansion. However, as he sneaked into his room, his steps paused as someone held his cor from behind.


    " Why are you sneaking into your own house?"


    " Xing''er?!!"


    Jia Hao was startled when he realized it was Su Xinger.


    " Hehe, You told Mom that you were going to a friend''s house. But I bet you went anywhere but there." Su Xing''er chuckled. " So, Where did you go?"


    " Uh¡­To watch street race?"


    Jia Hao didn''t bother to hide as he turned around, looking at Su Xing''er in her pajamas.


    " Damn it, You went to watch a street race and didn''t invite me?"


    " I went with Lin Mei." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Are you two really going out?" Su Xing''er raised her brows. " No way you are going out with that bitch."


    " Oh, Why does that matter? Are you jealous?" Jia Hao chuckled as he walked towards Su Xing''er.


    " Hmph! Why would I¡­" Su Xing''er turned around as she blushed a bit. " It''s just that¡­I won''t like to see you getting ruined by a girl."


    " Haha¡­No worries." Jia Hao cracked his knucles. " We are just ying around, That''s all."


    " Are you sure?" Su Xing''er asked again.


    " How am I supposed to make you believe me?" Jia Hao was perplexed. " Ah! How about this? Why don''t we go on a date? There, I can let you understand more thoroughly."


    " Yo-You! Hmph! Why should I go date with you?" Su Xing''er chortled, faking light anger.


    " However, Aspensation, You must take me to shopping tomorrow. It''s a not a date or something."


    " Fine, Whatever you say, Madam."


    " That''s more like it." Su Xing''er grinned as she walked towards Jia Hao, her nose wrinkling.


    " Also, Take some shower. You are smelling so¡­fishy. What''s with this strange scent?"


    " Ah¡­Um, Nothing, I guess?" Jia Hao faltered when he heard that.


    He can''t just say he got squirted by Lin Mei, right?


    Su Xing''er gave him a strange look before turning around to leave.


    " Don''t forget your promise."


    Jia Hao sighed in relief as he hurried and took a shower. However, when he walked out, he was stunned when he saw Su Lan in his room.


    '' Such a good luck I have¡­''

 Chapter 85: Spiraling Emotions

    " Ahh! Jia Hao, I didn''t know you were taking a bath." Su Lan was a bit surprised when she saw Jia Hao in towel once again.


    " Haha, Why are you getting shy, Sister Lan?" Jia Hao chuckled lightly. " It''s not like we didn''t see each other naked."


    " Oh gosh! Hao''er¡­Why you must make me remember that?" Su Lan gently berated Jia Hao as she blushed.


    " Well, My brain always remembers beautiful sceneries."


    " Hmph, You are getting quite cheeky, Aren''t you?" Su Lan let out a smallugh before continuing.


    " Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. Are you free tomorrow?"


    " Why? Does Sister Lan wishes to go shopping with me?" Jia Hao jested.


    " How do you know?" Su Lan was surprised.


    " Huh?"


    Jia Hao almost choked on his saliva when he realized what he asked jokingly was actually true.


    " Um, I just wanted to take you to shopping and buy some clothes for you, Consider this as a treat from me."


    Jia Hao smiled lightly as he looked at Su Lan. " Sister Lan, Do you think I am still annoyed with you for Li Bei''s matter?"


    " I¡­" Su Lan lowered her gaze as she got caught.


    " Haah, Sister Lan, Do you think I am such a petty minded individual?" Jia Haoughed lightly. " What happened, I don''t care about it anymore."


    " It''s not about that only." Su Lan smiled. " You also gave me such a precious gift like that song. I need to pay back, right?"


    " So, How about tomorrow? I believe you are free?"


    " Actually¡­I am thinking of taking Xing''er with me tomorrow." Jia Hao didn''t hide. " You know, She became a bit mad because I didn''t take her along with me."


    " Ah¡­Since that''s the case, we shall n some other day." Su Lan hurriedly spoke, But Jia Hao waved his hands.


    " Nope, I don''t think so. How about we all three go out together? I am sure Xing''er won''t have any problem."


    " But¡­"


    " No buts, Sister Lan. You areing with us, and that''s final." Jia Hao dered, making Su Lan nod.


    " Fine, As you say, Hao''er."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    The next day, Jia Hao was sleeping peacefully. However, Su Xing''er walked inside.


    " Jia Hao, Aren''t you going toe with me to the Southern Edge Dojo?"


    " Mmm¡­Why are you waking me up¡­"


    With a yawn, Jia Hao got up, rubbing his eyes leisurely. Hearing Su Xing''er, He realized he didn''t have any reason to go to Southern Edge Dojo since he already finished the daily quest there.


    " Eh¡­Not today, I am not feeling quite good." Jia Hao fell back on his bed.


    " This brat¡­" Su Xing''er sighed as she turned around and left.


    After a while, Jia Hao couldn''t sleep anymore. So, he got up and freshened up. When he went downstairs, he saw Su Yunqi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching morning news on TV.


    " Good Morning, Aunt Su."


    " Morning, Hao''er." Su Yunqi smiled back. " You didn''t go with Xing''er today?"


    " Ehh, I was just feeling a bit tired. That''s all." Jia Hao replied with a shrug, sitting beside Su Yunqi." So, How is the business going, Aunt Su?"


    " Oh, It''s smoother than ever." Su Yunqi seemed to be excited when she was talking about her business.


    " Recently, We got a few big orders, and if nothing goes wrong, we will be able to get two years'' worth of turnover at once."


    " And what about Li Tao?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice. " Is there any hindrance from him?"


    " I won''t say no¡­Hispany is secretly trying to sabotage us." Su Yunqi grumbled. " However, They are doing it in such a discreet way that we have no proof."


    " Don''t worry, Aunt Su." Jia Hao squeezed the palms of Su Yunqi gently as he spoke in a confident voice. " I will try my best to solve Li Tao''s problem for once and all."


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned a bit pink as she looked at Jia Hao''s handsome appearance. However, she couldn''t help but be concerned about Jia Hao.


    " Hao''er, I don''t think you should meddle in adults'' affairs. I don''t want to put a lot of burden on you." Su Yunqi shook her head.


    " I mean, You should rather spend your youth out there, No? Partying, hanging out with friends, making memories¡­"


    " Aunt Su, I can still help you while maintaining my enjoyment, no?" Jia Hao spoke with a light smile. "Besides, I don''t like seeing you in trouble."


    " I love you, After all."


    " Oh¡­.Eh? EHHH?"


    Su Yunqi''s face froze as her eyes turned wide, looking at Jia Hao with shock.


    " Oh! I¡­I mean¡­ I love you as¡­Um, You understand! It''s not in¡­That way!"


    Jia Hao feigned ignorance as he hurriedly tried to change the topic.


    However, inwardly, he couldn''t help but praise his acting.


    '' Haah, Who in this heaven and earth would able to resist my charm?''


    Su Yunqi also turned away as she rubbed her blushed cheeks. " Oh, Hao''er, I understand. You don''t need to exin much."


    " Ah, Right, Do you want something to drink? Let me prepare some hot cocoa for you."


    '' Oh god, Did Jia Hao just confess to me?'' Su Yunqi held the edge of the cooking counter as her heart was beating faster and faster.


    '' N-No, He just said it''s not¡­That kind of I love You. Yeah, He must be thinking of me as his family¡­''


    '' But¡­What if he isn''t? What if¡­''


    She suddenly remembered the stained boxers of Jia Hao which she found in theundry. She knew that Jia Hao had seen her fingering in her room.


    Not to mention, her jerking him off at Lin Tao''s party, Su Yunqi felt like her mind was falling into a spiral of emotions.


    '' N-No. I must rify our situation. I guess¡­I need to wait for the right moment.''


    '' Haah¡­How good it would be¡­No, Yunqi! What are you thinking about?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao finished the hot cocoa and went out. Since there is still a lot of time before he takes Su Xing''er and Su Lan for shopping, he decides to address other important matters.


    Suddenly, his phone received a message, about a meeting in a small cafe.

 Chapter 86: Discussing Plan

    Getting all dressed, Jia Hao went to a small, and luxury cafe nearby.


    When he reached the seat, His eyes narrowed when he saw a beautiful woman sitting there. Sexy ck leggings with a white and ck secretarial uniform, and sunsses to protect her eyes, she was looking like a female celebrity in disguise.


    " Miss Feng Yunshi?"


    " Ah, You must be Jia Hao." Feng Yunshi took off her goggles as she looked at Jia Hao. A faint surprise was still in her eyes.


    " I was still skeptical about President Sun''s words, but I guess they were true. You are pretty young."


    " Haha, many people think so.?" Jia Haoughed lightly as he took his seat.


    " Well, Have you ordered anything?"


    " I was waiting for you."


    " Would you like to order anything right now?" Jia Hao asked.


    " How about I let you order for me?" Feng Yunshi smiled charmingly.


    Jia Hao raised his eyebrows as he nodded. Looking at the waitress, he called her out.


    " Um, We would like to have an espresso with one small dash of cream, a bowl of caesar sd, and spicy meat buns."


    " Interesting choices. Which among the three is for me?"


    Jia Hao tapped on the table, looking at Feng Yunshi with a faint smile. " The espresso and sd is for you. But of course, I won''t deny you from the meat buns."


    " How do you know I would like espresso with a dash of coffee?"


    " Intuition." Jia Hao replied in his usual way.


    '' Hmm, Normally, People would order drinks for both, something like a cappino or milkshake. However, not only did he guess my preferred drink, he also bought sd for me while bun for himself.''


    '' So far, I still can''t see through him. Is he really a 19 year old boy?''


    As the food arrived, Jia Hao didn''t bother with Feng Yunshi and dipped the bun in the sauce. After blowing off the smoke, he took a bite.


    " Mm, Delicious indeed."


    Feng Yunshi took a sip of her espresso with a nod. " This is also good."


    " Well, Since food has arrived, How about we talk about the real matter in our hands?" Jia Hao looked at her. " Let''s see what sort of information you have, Miss Feng."


    " About Li Tao, I already know he is a vile individual. However, to prove it, we need solid evidence."


    " If you give us time of a month, we would be able to dig out everything about him."


    " One month is too long." Jia Hao frowned. He doesn''t want to give Li Tao much time to live.


    After all, Li Tao isn''t the only viin in Urban Fantasy.


    " Then, How are you going to confront him?" Feng Yunshi tilted her head. " If you want to bring down the Qingzhu Jewelry, It''s alright."


    " However, I believe even if hispany drowns, Li Tao would easily be able to salvage his loss. However, as I heard from President Sun, You want topletely bring down Li Tao."


    " Therefore, Some preparations are necessary."


    Jia Hao fell into thought when he heard Feng Yunshi''s reasoning.


    For a moment, the idea of killing Li Tao came in his mind. After all, He already possesses sufficient strength for it. However, he was still afraid that Li Tao would manage to escape.


    So, rather than interfering, he would rather y by this world''sw, slowly trapped Li Tao from all the ways, then killing him instantly.


    Thinking about Li Tao''s character in the game, something dawned in his mind.


    " Assume I get the data of Li Tao''s secret deeds. Won''t that make the process easier?"


    " If you can get such thing, We can take down Li Tao as flip of our hand." Feng Yunshi finished her drink. " However, Do you think Li Tao would keep his dark deeds recorded somewhere?"


    " Perhaps?" Jia Hao gave a mystifying grin, making Feng Yunshi intrigued.


    " Anyway, I would like your help in another matter, Miss Feng."


    " Yes?"


    " I would like you to prepare¡­Thousand Liter barrels of sauces." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Alright¡­Wait, What?" Feng Yunshi felt like she heard wrong. " Sauces?"


    " Yes, Like Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Spicy BBQ Sauce etc. And the barrels must be stainless steel, without any logo on it."


    " Uhm¡­I guess we can do that?" Feng Yunshi could only agree to Jia Hao''s seemingly weird demand. Haizhou Food Corporation is a behemoth in Tianshi Nation. Therefore, preparing what Jia Hao was asking isn''t hard at all.


    '' It''s just¡­What is going to do with this much amount of sauce? He isn''t nning to open a restaurant, right?''


    " Haha, I knew that I could count on Miss Feng." Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction. " Well, I hope you will be ready to crack on Li Tao as long as I get the evidence."


    " Of course, we would." Feng Yunshi nodded.


    Jia Hao smiled as he got up. " Very well, I have some other work so I have to leave now."


    " Ah?"


    " Besides, Miss Feng¡­Perhaps you should return to the office early. Maybe, a good news is waiting for you." Jia Haoughed lightly as he turned around, leaving the cafe.


    Feng Yunshi sat silently with a dumbfounded gaze. Slowly her lips curled as she kept eating the sd, finishing the bowl entirely.


    " Jia Hao, Is it? I shall keep notes on you."


    Jia Hao walked out as his smile vanished, his expression turned enigmatic.


    " Feng Yunshi¡­I didn''t expect it was her who wasing to meet me. Hmm, the organization behind her¡­It could be beneficial for me if I utilize it well."


    '' For now, I need to gather the evidence of Li Tao''s ck deed. If my guessing is correct, everything should be recorded in that ce.''


    Jia Hao yed Urban Fantasy countless times. So, he even knew all the big and small details that could help him here.


    Forming a rough n, he returned back to the mansion.


    " Jia Hao, Where did you go?" Su Xing''er pouted as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Alright, Shall we go?" Su Lan smiled.


    " Haha, Of course."

 Chapter 87: Shopping Spree

    Su Xing''er didn''t wear her usual tomboyish outfit today. She wore a long frock with white stockings, and with her well-done short hair, she looked very adorable.


    Meanwhile, Su Lan wore a blue colored dress, loosely draping over her body. Thepletely sleeveless dress showed her beautiful arms, with her dress, she looked like an enchanting self of Su Yunqi''s younger self.


    " Wow, Both of you look so¡­Beautiful." Jia Hao sighed when he looked at both of them.


    " Not to mention, I didn''t expect Su Xing''er to wear such a girly dress."


    " Hmph, I didn''t want to wear this, alright?" Su Xing''er snorted as she followed Jia Hao.


    " It''s just that Big Sis told me that¡­It would be better to wear this."


    " You look cute in this, Xing''er."


    " Bah! What are you talking about?" Su Xing''er blushed as she looked sideways.


    " Huhuhu, Su Xing''er look so good in these dress. I can''t understand why she acts like a tomboy." Su Lan sighed as she rubbed her cheeks.


    " It''s just my preference, ok? I don''t feelfortable in that girly dress." Su Xing''er snorted.


    The three of them got into the Benz and Su Lan chose to drive. After all, she had recently got her driving license.


    '' Well, Su Lan''s driving is surprisingly good. She truly has talents in many fields.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Jia Hao sat beside Su Lan and Su Xing''er sat on the backseat.


    " Actually, Jia Hao, Sister Jiang was asking about you."


    " Oh? What did she say?" Jia Hao asked in an interested voice.


    " She was asking why you re noting to the dojo. There are some matters she wanted to discuss with you."


    " Important matters?" Jia Hao was surprised, but he nodded. " Very well, Tomorrow, I shall go with you."


    " Hah, Is that the ce where you are learning martial arts, Xing''er?" Su Lan asked with surprise. " Not bad, I can feel you have be more energetic these days."


    " Indeed, I didn''t expect the Eight Trigram Palms to be so difficult yet fascinating."


    '' Hm, I remember I have another version of Eight Trigram Palms which was improved by the Pot of Miracles. It''s grade was too low for Yun Continent, but it would work here I guess.''


    " Xing''er, I have a book on the Eight Trigram Palms. Mabe, You should take a look at this."


    " Is that so? Then I will definitely. I would also take it to Sister Jiang, to see what''s her views on it." Su Xing''er nodded happily.


    Soon enough, they reached the shopping district. Parking the car, Su Lan apanied Su Xing''er and Jia Hao to inside it.


    Jia Hao already got a rough idea about all fashion shops thanks to his shopping with Lin Mei. With perfection, Jia Hao became their guide in the shopping district.


    " Hah, You look so experienced." Su Xing''er curled her lips. " Did youe here with that Lin Mei many times?"


    " Why are you fixated on her, huh?" Jia Hao was speechless when he heard Su Xing''er.


    " Lin Mei? Is she Hao''er friend?" Su Lan asked with some doubt.


    " His girlfriend¡­or she appears to be." Su Xing''er replied instantly.


    " Sister Lan, That''s not true." Jia Hao spoke hastily. " We are just ying around. She is just an ordinary friend."


    " Is that so?" Su Lan turned around as she spoke in a faint voice. " I mean, If Hao''er gets a girlfriend, it would be so good."


    " Sister Lan, What are you talking about?" Jia Hao smiled bitterly. " No matter what, You shall be in my heart."


    " Wh-What are you saying¡­" Su Lan blushed when she heard Jia Hao''s cheeky remark.


    " What about me?" Su Xing''er raised her voice.


    " Who are you?"


    Jia Hao tilted his head and looked at Su Xing''er. Hearing Jia Hao''s answer, Su Xing''er fumed from anger.


    " Jia Hao! You are dead today!"


    " Haha, Come at me if you dare."


    However, an hourter, Jia Hai regretted his saying. Now, he felt like his arms were giving up under the shopping bags he was holding.


    The people''s eyes were on the Su sisters, along with Jia Hao who followed them eagerly. The trio were quite some eyecandies for both males and females in the shopping mall.


    " Wow, Are both of them are sisters?"


    " They look so beautiful."


    " That young man behind them is also so handsome."


    " Damn it, Look at those brands. They are all top luxury brands."


    Those who got jealous of their looks, those who felt envy of their wealth, the Su sisters didn''t care.


    But Jia Hao loved the attention as they were giving them free negative emotions to feed on.


    '' Gathering negative emotions from humans is so easy. Just show off a bit and attract a flood of jealousy and hatred.'' Jia Hao chortled in his heart.


    " Alright, Xing''er, Didn''t you say I am very experienced here?" Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile.


    " Should I show you my suggestions?"


    " Oh? What is it?" Su Xing''er became intrigued as she followed Jia Hao.


    No matter how annoying Jia Hao can be, his choices are all top notch. Both Su Lan and Su Xing''er admit it from the bottom of their heart.


    However, when both of them reached where Jia Hao led them, they couldn''t help but blush profusely.


    " Wh-What are we¡­doing here?" Su Lan became meek instantly as she looked here and there, trying to act like a fool.


    " Jia Hao¡­Why did you lead us here?" Su Xing''er stammered as she gave an angry look to Jia Hao.


    " What? I thought you allowed me to show my expertise?" Jia Hao feigned ignorance.


    " Even Lin Mei said my tastes are pretty good."


    " You came here with Lin Mei?"


    " I think so¡­"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he showed them pink panties. " I believe my choices of underwear would be the best."


    Both Su sisters blushed as they looked at each other with nk gazes.


    Jia Hao walked around and picked several pairs of underwear and lingerie.


    " This is a white frilly robe that would be perfect for Sister Lan, don''t you think?" Jia Hao grinned. " Soft white fabric designed with golden threads on itfy and elegant."


    " And this soft green pair of panties and bra would also look good on you."


    Su Lan blushed as she looked around, sighing as there were only women around there.


    Most of them gave her a knowing nce, with soft smiles and smirks. Su Lan felt very embarrassed, but she didn''t flinch.


    Thinking about Jia Hao''s words, she felt like he was telling the truth. Personally, she also liked them.


    " En, These do look good, Hao''er." Su Lan nodded with a smile. " I shall purchase this."


    " Wh-What?"


    Su Xing''er was bbergasted. Not only does Su Lan not berate Jia Hao, but she also agrees with him.


    But then, Looking at Jia Hao''s choice, Su Xing''er felt Su Lan would look good in them.


    '' Ugh, But isn''t it a bit¡­embarrassing? Big Sis is always so shy. How is she acting so¡­bold today?''


    After picking another one, Jia Hao turned and swiped his card, purchasing it for Su Lan.


    As they turned around to leave, Su Xing''er stopped them.


    " Wait, Where are you going?"


    " Huh? Our work is done here, I guess?" Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er.


    Su Lan instantly understood why Su Xing''er was behaving like that. And she couldn''t help but chuckle, waiting for the drama to y out/


    " What over? I didn''t purchase anything."


    " Uh¡­ So, go ahead and buy?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Who is stopping you?"


    " You!"


    Su Xing''er suppressed her annoyance as she still talked calmly. " This isn''t fair, Jia Hao. You bought undergarments for Big Sis, but you didn''t ask for me?"


    " I thought you didn''t want to?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " Were you angry why I bought you here? Why should I force you to buy anything for you?"


    " I¡­ I was annoyed." Su Xing''er twisted her words as she tugged the hem of her frock.


    " But since we are already here, I might just get some for myself too. And besides, I shall also judge your choices too."


    '' What a tsundere.'' Jia Hao pursed his lips as he turned around. " Alright, If that''s what you want¡­"


    His eyes darted out as he quickly got a pair of ck sports bra. Since Su Xing''er is an athlete, it would be the best for her.


    However, along with that, Jia Hao picked a pair of sexy red velvet undergarments. Just looking at it, one could feel the passion and desire.


    Su Xing''er blushed when she saw the red velvet undergarment. " I¡­ I understand the sports bra¡­But what''s with this?"


    " Well, My personal preference?" Jia Hao grinned." Not to mention, the size is small, perfect for your¡­"


    " Did¡­You¡­Just¡­Say¡­My¡­Boobs¡­Are¡­Small?"


    Jia Hao instantly shut up as he felt a killing intent from Su Xing''er. " Ah, Xing''er¡­I didn''t mean that."


    " What I am saying¡­Um, Is that¡­It has perfect size and shape, and it will highlight your beauty." Jia Hao changed his sentence faster than light.


    After a huge banter, Su sisters bought the undergarments and walked out with Jia Hao.


    However, at that moment, Jia Hao narrowed his eyes as he felt someone was stalking them.

 Chapter 88: Casually Handling The Problem

    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he sensed the strange gaze. His Sage''s Divine Eyes activated as he looked around, identifying each person and gauging their emotions.


    Suddenly, he felt four hostile presences across them. Two of them were following them, and the remaining two were scattered around.


    Judging from their bodies, they looked robust and muscr, iparable with ordinary thugs. They looked look like professionals, constantly gazing at Jia Hao and Su sisters.


    Slowly, Jia Hao''s lips curled as he looked at the information with his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    And they all had a simr Recent Future Point.


    [ In the next thirty minutes, they will attempt kidnapping Jia Hao, Su Xing''er, and Su Lan. In this process, they get beaten by Jia Hao and beatose]


    '' Well, well¡­I believe sometimes, the future isn''t meant to be changed. Since their future is that¡­I shall do my best to give it to them.''


    Jia Hao prayed in his heart sincerely. Su Lan noticed the shift in Jia Hao''s expression.


    " What is it, Hao''er?"


    " Oh, Nothing much, Big Sis Lan." Jia Hao shook his head. " I was thinking, Where are we going to eat?"


    " I know a restaurant nearby. They serve delicious hotpot." Su Xing''er chimed in.


    " Since that''s the case, we shall see Xing''er taste this time." Su Lan smiled yfully.


    " Hah, Big Sister, be prepared to be amazed by the restaurant." Su Xing''er grinned.


    As they walked out of the mall, Jia Hao paused his steps as he looked around.


    '' Two of them already guarding around our car. Adding the four of them behind me, there are a total six of them. I need to sort them out alone.''


    " Ah, Big Sister Lan, I was thinking about something." Jia Hao paused his steps. " Can you buy me something like a croquet? I am feeling a bit hungry."


    " Why didn''t you tell us when we went past that store?" Su Xing''er sighed.


    " I didn''t feel hungry back then. I am feeling hungry right now." Jia Hao gave a reasonable answer.


    "Don''t worry, I shall go back and purchase you one." Su Lan smiled. " Now you say, Maybe I should grab an ice cream for me too."


    " Xing''er, you should go with Sister Lan too." Jia Hao added.


    " Why? My legs are tired."


    " Well, Because you can help Sister Lan pick up the vor. And grab something for yourself too." Jia Hao decided to use a bit of energy from his sapling of desires, making his words more convincing.


    " Ughh, If you say so¡­I am going." Su Xing''er rubbed her head as she followed Su Lan.


    Seeing them going back, Jia Hao nodded with relief. '' At least in the mall, they won''t try doing anything to them.''


    '' Now, Let''s take care of these two bastards first.''


    Cracking his knuckles, Jia Hao walked towards the car. As he was about to open the car door, two muscr men from an adjacent car got off, walking towards Jia Hao.


    " Are you Jia Hao?"


    Jia Hao lifted his head and replied with confusion. " Yes? Who are you?"


    " Heh, Get him."


    Jia Hao sighed as he swung his arm. " Geeze, We didn''t even talk much and you started to attack already?"


    " But then, It''s good for me. Thanks for saving my time."


    The moment Jia Hao''s fist fell, the man felt like someone smacked his arm with a sledgehammer.


    " ARRRGH!"


    Clutching his hand, one of the two thugs felt like his brain buzzing from the pain. However, the next moment, he saw Jia Hao punching him straight in the face.


    *WHACK!*


    The other thug stood dumbfounded when he saw two streams of blood erupting from the nostrils of his partner. His reflexes finally kicked in as he pulled out his knife, trying to stab Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao was even faster. Without even moving a step, he threw a jab at the second person. His raw physical strength already surpassed a normal human being, and he isn''t even using the pure yang energy of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.


    "KHEEUKK!"


    Jia Hao''s fist directly hit the sr plexus of that thug, making him instantly fall to his knees. Jis Hao clutched his hair as he spoke in a cold voice.


    " Call you partners here, right now!"


    " Wh-What?"


    " I said call the other four bastards. Or, You need another beating, huh?"


    Saying that Jia Hoa ripped a bunch of hair from his scalp, making the man scream.


    But before he could scream, Jia Hao covered his mouth, making him silent.


    " ARRGH! OK! OK! I WILL¡­DO IT!"


    The man felt a fear rising from his heart when he saw Jia Hao''s cold gaze. He couldn''t believe the youngster before him is more fearsome than his boss.


    With trembling hands, he called someone.


    " Hey¡­Return to¡­Van¡­Right now. There is¡­something urgent."


    The moment he finished that, Jia Hao snatched the phone and ended the call


    Before the man could move, Jia Hao hit the back of his head, making him unconscious.


    '' Two finished, four to go.'' Jia Hao picked up their bodies and dumped them into the van.


    He didn''t need to wait for long before he saw the four suspicious men he saw in the shopping mall.


    As they walked back to the van, they looked at each other with confusion.


    " What the hell happened? We were about to get those two girls."


    " Where are those two fuckers?"


    " Huh? Look here!"


    One of them pointed at the drops of blood on the ground, making everyone rmed.


    They swiftly took out their knives as they slowly opened the van. Since it had ck window sses, they couldn''t see anything inside.


    However, as all of them were focused on their van, they didn''t see Jia Hao sneaking up behind them.


    " Hey, What are you doing?"


    All four of them jumped in shock as they turned around. However, two of them only saw a fist before their faces as both of them got punched by Jia Hao at the same time.


    *POW! POWW!*


    Two of them flew back as the back of their heads crashed into the van. Instantly, they fell unconscious.


    The remaining two of them were stunned as they swung their knives, trying to stab Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao swiftly caught their wrists, stopping their attacks altogether.


    " Damn it! Who the fuck is this bastard!"


    " How can he be so powerful!"


    Powerful?" Jia Haoughed. " Maybe, I am? Or maybe, You are too weak.


    " ARRGHH!"


    " MY HARD! LET IT GO!"


    Jia Hao twisted their wrists, making the knives fall to the ground.After that, he punched another one to unconsciousness.


    Unlike the Yun continent, the people here are much weaker. So, Jia Hao could be said already achieved superhuman strength by this world''s standards.


    '' Not to mention, I am obviously holding back. Otherwise, killing them with my punches isn''t hard at all.'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly.


    " Now, I shall only ask one question. Just say¡­yes, or no." Jia Hao coldly looked at the remaining thug, who was trembling from fear.


    " Was it Li Tao who sent you?"


    " Ye¡­Yes! Li Tao is our Boss''s friend!" The thug found some courage. " I am from the Crimson Wofl Gang! Let me go! Else¡­"


    " Else¡­Nothing will happen." Jia Haoughed as he pped him.


    " Bastard! You picked the wrong target, bitch!"


    *PA!PA!PA!*


    The face of the thug got swollen as he finally fell unconscious. Jia Hao picked all of them up and dumped them into the van, closing it promptly.


    " Jia Hao, What are you doing?"


    " Ah, Big Sister Lan, You came back."


    " You sweating a bit. Why did you stay outside for so long?" Su Lan asked with concern. " And¡­"


    Before her gaze could fall on Jia Hao''s bloodied fist, Jia Hao hid them behind his back.


    " And, Did you get the croquet?"


    " Of course." Su Xing''er nodded as she passed it to Jia Hao. Jia Hao already wiped the blood on his back as he picked the croquet.


    " Nice, this is very crispy."


    " Isn''t it?" Su Xing''er also ate one as all of them got back into the car.


    As Su Lan was driving the car, Su Xing''er kept giving her directions. Soon enough, they reached a nice restaurant.


    " I will order a spicy soup dumpling. With extra spice of course." Su Xing''er ordered.


    " I will take the same."


    Of course, Jia Hao wouldn''t say no to the spicy food. After all, without spice, how there can be a life?


    " Actually, Jia Hao, I bought this for you. I hope you like it." Su Lan smiled as she took out a small box, handing it to Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao was surprised as he opened it. " A watch from Trinity? This¡­This expensive"


    He actually liked the mechanical watch, which fit perfectly on his wrist. Wearing it, it looked both dashing and elegant.


    " Price doesn''t matter. I just wanted to give you a gift and I felt it would be good." Su Lan spoke in a low voice.


    " You liked it, right?"


    " Of course, Big Sis Lan. I liked it very much."


    " Oi, I also helped big sis to pick this, ok?" Su Xing''er cut in, making both Jia Hao and Su Lanugh.


    " Alright, Xing''er. I like your choice and I am going to wear it daily, alright?" Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice.


    " That''s more likely. Go ahead, praise me more."

 Chapter 89: Black Butterfly

    Walking around hastily, Li Tao felt his brain was going to burst.


    " Damn it, These fuckers. Why didn''t they call me yet?" Li Tao cursed loudly. But then, his phone rang.


    " Huh? Are they finally calling me?" Li Tao gave a cold smile. But then, he was a bit surprised when he saw it was the boss of the Crimson Wolf Gang.


    " Brother Chou? What happened? Did you got the girls and that bastard?"


    " Damn it! Li Tao, How dare you to swindle me!?"


    " Huh? What do you mean?" Li Tao was taken aback when he heard the cursing of Brothr Chou.


    " Who did you sent my men to? All of them are hospitalized. Even one with lightest injury is bedridden for two months!"


    " Wh-What?" Li Tao almost stumbled back when he heard that. " How? How is that possible?"


    He knew that two of the six thugs were underground boxers in the Eastern Sea City. Two of them can easily beat ten ordinary people. Not to mention, the remaining few thugs were all experienced.


    " Could it be the bodyguards of Su Family?" Li Tao asked hurriedly. He thought that Su Family might arrange some bodyguards after abduction of Su Xing''er failedst time.


    " Bodyguards? Hmph, only one person did this to my men." Brother Chou snorted. " That neen year old boy Jia Hao, he beaten them ck and blue."


    " What?! Him?"


    Li Tao felt it was too surreal. A neen year old brat beaten six grown-up thugs? Li Tao almost going to curse Brother Chou for joking. However, he didn''t feel like Brother Chou was joking.


    " Hmph! The money you gave me, it would now go to their medical fees. Next time, get correct information about the target before asking us to make our move."


    " Brother Chou¡­"


    However, Before Li Tao could speak, the call ended. Li Tao felt a surge of anger as he almost threw his phone on the wall.


    " These bastards! Taking my money and not doing any work!" Li Tao cursed aloud.


    " Hmph, I guess I need to handle that bitch Yunqi in my way. If I want something, I will get it." Li Tao sat back his seat as he opened hisputer.


    After watching somethong on it, he picked the phone and dialed someone else.


    " Prepare two girls this evening. My mood is very bad right now."


    " Alright, Boss."


    Li Tao nodded with satisfaction as he got up and closed his office. The Qingzhu Jewery is growing and he wanted to grow it even more.


    '' Only if I can remove the Blue Crystal Corporation from my way¡­''


    Li Tao hissed in his heart as he walked out. All his employees greeted him as he walked out, giving him a sense of pride.


    However, his gaze fell on a girl who was giving coffee to everyone.


    " Who is she?" Li Tao asked to the person beside him.


    " Ah, Boss¡­She is our new intern. She has been doing good job sincest week." The person replied hastily. " She really wants to join ourpany."


    " Is that so?"


    A wicked grin appeared on Li Tao''s face as he kept staring at that girl. " Good, I like it. Tell her toe to my office tomorrow morning."


    " Yes, Boss."


    Thinking about how he is going to enjoy another fresh flower, Li Tao walked out from hispany.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As the trio returned to the mansion, Jia Hao went straight to his room. Swiftly, he took out hisptop and searched about various things.


    '' The concepts of mechanics, machines, physics¡­Everything feels so easy to me. Not to mention, looking at a blueprint, I can easily analyze it and see its ws.''


    The Genius Mechanic and Sage''s Divine Eyes worked at the same time, making Jia Hao a natural genius in the field of machines and mechanics.


    After spending on the inte for a while and feeling the effect of the title, Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction. " Not bad, I feel I can alsmot craft anything. Hmm, How about I start making guns in the Yun continent?"


    " Hehe, I should definitely try that."


    However, there is another thing Jia Hao wanted to do online. Searching for a while, he managed to find a forum, dedicated to a male actor named Xiang Fu.


    After that, in that forum, he made a few posts, targeting the male actor. Spamming shitposts about him, it barely took time before he got banned.


    Jia Hao chuckled as he saw the name of the mod who banned him. It was same as he remember in the Urban Fantasy.


    Suddenly, he slipped into the DM of the username Zuzu09.


    [You banned me because I talked shit about Xiang Fu, right? What if I say I know a secret about him?]


    Jia Hao waited for whole ten minutes. After that, The Zuzu09 came online as Jia Hao got a reply.


    [ Useless person, What sort of secret you know about Xiang Fu?]


    [ Hmm, There are quite some few. For example¡­His alt id he uses here?]


    [What? You know?]


    Jia Hao''s lips curled as he typed out the name of the alt id he uses to interact his fans without any suspicion on this tform.


    [ Damn it! I thought only I know about this! How could you know that?]


    [ Of course, I know another secret about him. You never tried to hack into his alternate id, right? Why did you do that?] Jia Hao typed out.


    After a minute, he got the message.


    [ Wh-What do you mean? How can I hack into someone else''s id? That''s illegal!]


    [ Oh, Please! I know you did many illegal things. Doing this won''t harm much, right?] Jia Hao grinned as he replied through the text.


    [ Just go and check the chat history of Xiang Fu''s alt id. I am sure you would be surprised¡­but in an unpleasant way]


    After typing that, Jia Hao got off and walked to the kitchen. He saw Su Xing''er was watching TV in the living room while Su Lan was in her room, probably practicing music or studying.


    " Jia Hao, can you bring me the cookie jar?"


    " Huh? Get it yourself." Jia Hao replied back instantly.


    " Ugh! Jia Hao, You are in the kitchen! Can''t you bring it to me?" Su Xing''er chided.


    " Then¡­Ask politely, simr to when we were outside and you lost the race to me." Jia Hao grinned. Su Xing''er grimaced as she realized what Jia Hao wanted.


    " This bastard¡­" Su Xing''er truly contemted whether she should get up and get the cookie jar by herself.


    But an important scene of the serial is ongoing. She didn''t wanted to miss the scene.


    " Ahem¡­Elder Brother Jia, Please¡­Can you bring me the jar of cookie? Your little sister needs it."


    Jia Hao''s lips twitched as he almostughed out loud. However, he suppressed it and walked to Su Xing''er with the cookie jar.


    " Now, That''s the way you should ask for help." He sat beside her, handing her the cookies.


    " Hmph, Sometimes, You just act like a creep." Su Xing''er took a bite of cookie as she muttered.


    " Oh, Is that so?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " Then, Why don''t you stay away from me? Or perhaps¡­You like it?"


    " Hmph! How could I¡­" Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " I mean¡­ We are living under a roof. So, I can''t maintain my distance from you."


    " Ahhh!~"


    Su Xing''er was surprised as Jia Hao suddenly held her waist.


    " Xing''er, you have been acting very rebellious. Perhaps, I shouldn''t give you the copy of Eight Trigram Palm after all."


    Hearing Jia Hao, Su Xing''er''s expression changed. "No! Damn it, You can''t do it!"


    " Why so?"


    Su Xing''er paused as her expression changed instantly like a chameleon.


    " Because, I am your cute little siser, Onii Chan¡­"


    " Hah¡­To think I would see Su Xing''er calling Jia Hao onii chan¡­"


    Su Xing''er petrified as she turned around, seeing Su Lan suppressing her giggle.


    " N-No! Big Sis, It''s not me! It''s¡­Damn you, Jia Hao! You will anger me to death!"


    " Hey, I didn''t ask you to say that!" Jia Hao shrugged. He took no responsibility for this.


    " Yo-You!!"


    Su Xing''er took a deep breath as she focused her attention back to the serial. " Go away, You all! Let me focus on my serial!"


    " Hehe, Let me see it too." Jia Hao kept sitting beside Su Xing''er, watching the scene.


    Almost after half an hour. Jia Hao got up. He couldn''t withstand the cringe at all.


    '' Ugh, This world''s serials are so boring. The plot is more predictable than me being the protagonist.''


    Walking back to his room, Jia Hao opened hisptop again. He saw his dm was already flooded with message.


    [FUCK! FUCKKK! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! HOW COULD XIANG FU DO THIS!]


    [ WEREN''T HE DATING THE A-TIER ACTRESS? WHY DID HE SENT HIS DICK PICS TO LU SHANGJIN?]


    [ GOD! THEY EVEN GOT A PIC OF HUGGING EACH OTHER NAKED! IT''S SO HOT!]


    [ YO-YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM, RIGHT? TELL ME!]


    [ HELLO? ARE YOU NOT ONLINE? GOD! WHERE THE FUCK YOU GO?]


    Jia Hao saw the messages kept spamming more and more. After that, he replied back, confirming that Xiang Fu and Lu Shangjin were in homosexual rtionship.


    He knew this news as he already yed that far in the Urban Fantasy. It''s something that would only revealed half a yearter, almost taking the entertainment world into storm.


    However, Jia Hao had another reason to reveal the news to Zuzu09.


    [ I know more things. But, you need to help me, Zuzu09]


    [ Or should I say, ck Butterfly... the infamous hacker?]

 Chapter 90: Gathering Proof

    After a moment of silence, Jia Hao typed once again.


    [ Well, Before you start giving me my IP address and looking into my homework folder on my PC, I just wanted to tell you that I mean no harm]


    [ How can I be so sure? How do you even know it''s me?]


    [ Trade secret, Beautiful Sister]


    [ Hah, You think I am a girl? Do you think there are girls on the inte?]


    [ At least you are¡­Right, Beautiful Sister?]


    Jia Hao took his time as he waited for the reply. But then, he closed the shutter of the front camera of hisptop.


    [ Also, No need to try and look into my face. Though, I can assure you that I am handsome]


    [ Bah! It won''t take me a minute before I find everything about you]


    [ Of course, you can do that. However, how about we talk about business in the meantime?]


    [ What sort of business?]


    [ Let''s say¡­I want you to hack into the security system of a ce and blur the CCTV cameras, can you do it?]


    [ Well¡­I can? But that depends on the type of security. Besides, why should I help you?]


    [ Because of money?]


    Jia Hao''s fingers moved as he kept typing.


    [ I am sure Miss ck Butterfly takesmissions, Hm? Especially if I pay a handsome amount of money and information]


    [ Let''s put money on the side. What information do you have?]


    Jia Hao''s grin widened as he replied.


    [ Well, You already received the information, Sister ck Butterfly. It''s about Xiang Fu and Lu Shangjie. Or¡­Are you going to deny it?]


    [...]


    [ Fine¡­You did give me priceless information. However, now I am going to charge you money]


    [ One million yuan, How about this?]


    [ Only a million? Done.]


    [...]


    Jia Haoughed as he saw ck Butterfly pulling out her hair from frustration. For him currently, one million yuan is simply nothing.


    [ One million is fixed, You can''t change it]


    [ Arrrgh! Fine, I shall have it. Now, What do you want me to do?]


    [ I shall inform you at 12 AM. Be online]


    Jia Hao turned off theptop as he got up.


    ck Butterfly is an enigmatic hacker who is in the top 50 ranking of hackers across the dark web. In the game, one easily befriend her and talk casually.


    After the friendship level increases, one could easily get the preferences of ck Butterfly. And by paying her money, one can easily get hints of many quests they get stuck in.


    '' I only saw one image of ck Butterfly as her card was an SSR rank card. Only her back, but she is a damn beautiful girl, albeit sickly.''


    '' Now I am here, I am definitely going to meet her. She is a precious ally who can give me another achievement'' Jia Hao pondered.


    After having a hearty dinner with the Su Family, Jia Hao went outside, saying he would sleep over at a friend''s house.


    Su Yunqi didn''t doubt Jia Hao much. All she remind him to take care of himself. After leaving, Jia Hao bought some essories and donned himself in a ck suit, covering his face with a monkey mask.


    After that, he went straight to the Qingzhu Jewery''s main office. In the middle of the night, he stood jumped the boundary wall, and sneaked inside.


    Opening his phone, he started to chat with ck Butterfly.


    [ You want me to hack the surveince system of Qingzhu Jewery''s main office? Hmm, Let me check¡­]


    [ Well, You have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?]


    Jia Hao typed good news, and after that, he got the reply almost instantly.


    [ Good news, The system of Qingzhu Jewelry is easy to crack. And the bad news is¡­I can''t find any way to get in. So, You need to do¡­]


    [ Two million Yuan]


    Jia Hao typed out without hesitation. After increasing the price, he even added another reward for ck Butterfly.


    [ I will tell you about the next gha drop for the Moon Guardians Game, so you can start grinding for now]


    [ Deal!]


    After waiting for a while, Jia Hao got the message.


    [ I have disabled the CCTV cameras. Enjoy]


    Jia Hao nodded as he sneaked from the back gate. Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he could easily see the path of the patrolling guards. His speed was already fast as he used the Water Carrying Steps.


    As the name implies, it''s a training method for Buddhist disciples who carry water from the base of the mountain all the way to the monastery. While carrying thick buckets of water, they need to ensure they are fast enough, along with being careful to not spill any water.


    So, It''s a training method that refines the agility and bnce of the human body. Therefore, Jia Hao using the technique here to quickly reach Li Tao''s chamber.


    As he easily crossed the guards, he entered the office and texted back to ck Butterfly.


    [ Now other than the camera of the office room, turn on all the security cameras in the building. Else it will create suspicion]


    [ You sure you aren''t doing anything illegal?]


    [ Well, I guess it''s illegal?]


    [ ¡­Got it]


    As Jia Hao entered the office, he sat on the chair and looked at theputer. However, he only snickered as he didn''t even touch it.


    Because Jia Hao knew that there was basically nothing in thatputer. He started to look around the desk and found a secretpartment. As he opened it, he found a digital locker, which looked like cutting edge technology.


    Cracking his knuckles, Jia Hao thought about the password for a moment before typing it.


    Cuckmaster007.


    In the original bad ending of the game, Su Lan couldn''t stand Li Tao''s abuse anymore so she snuck into his office to gather some information. However, it was merely a trap set by Li Tao.


    While defiling Su Lan again, he opened the secret stash, showing her his dark deeds one by one in the midst of raping her.


    '' In that time, Su Lan could only see the evidence of Li Tao''s atrocities are so close¡­yet it was so far from her.'' Jia Hao sighed.


    " But now, This will spell doom for Li Tao. Hehe, Let''s see how you are going to escape this time." Jia Hao saw multiple sh drives inside as he pocketed everything.


    With ck Butterfly''s help, he almost sneaked out from the building. However, at that moment, two guards appeared before Jia Hao.


    They became startled as they saw him.


    " Halt! Who are you!?


    " Stop there!"


    Jia Hao snorted as his body moved. However, instead of using brute force, he decided to use the Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    " Stand there silently!"


    Jia Hai raised his hand as hemanded.


    Then, something unbelievable happened.

 Chapter 91: Nights Out

    Jia Hao could feel that a part of desire qi of his sapling of desires consumed as it flowed out from his body. Ahe pointed his finger at the two guards, their eyes suddenly dimmed.


    They stood silently, looking at Jia Hao with vacant expression. Jia Hao walked towards them as he waved his hands before their eyes.


    '' Damn it, Isn''t this¡­a bit too powerful?'' Jia Hao was shocked in his heart as he walked around them.


    " Now, You aren''t humans. You are dogs who are barking right now. Believe it and do it."


    Suddenly, two of the guards got on their all fours as they looked at the night sky.


    " GRRRRR! WOOF! WOOF!"


    " BARK! WOOF!"


    Jia Hao took a step back with amazement when he saw that scene. He finally realized how powerful the Six Desires Myriad Thought Art is.


    '' Well, If it''s created by the demon Mara, it''s obvious that this technique is going to be very powerful.''


    But then, Jia Hao realized a lot of desire qi already expended. So, he hastily circted the technique and gave amand.


    " Return back to your normal self. You saw nothing strange here. Keep patrolling like usual after I snap my finger, and don''t look back."


    Jia Hao maintained his distance from them as he snapped his finger. Both guards trembled as they looked at each other.


    " Huh? What just happened?"


    " Uh? Nothing? Wait, Why there are dust on my knees?"


    " Yeah, My uniform got dirtied too."


    " Ugh, What a shit day."


    Jia Hao looked at them from their back as they walked forward. Turning around, He walked away briskly.


    [ Have you gotten out?]


    He saw ck Butterfly''s message. And he replied instantly.


    [ Give me your ount details. I shall pay right now]


    [ Well, Here it is¡­]


    Jia Hao didn''t hesitate as he paid two million yuan instantly. After all, business means business for him.


    As he returned, he kept chatting with ck Butterfly.


    [ Well, What did you take from the secret stash of Li Tao?]


    [ Ah, So you hacked the system and watching me, eh?]


    [ Hehe, It was very easy to do]


    [ Believe me, You won''t like to see it]


    [ If you say so¡­Jia Hao]


    Jia Hao chuckled as he saw ck Butterfly calling him by his name. However, he expected it as without any knowledge regarding hacking, it''s almost impossible for him to hide his identity from ck Butterfly.


    '' Besides, The faster she knows about me, the better it is. After all, it will help to decrease her doubts regarding me.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Until he gets the achievement , He needs to rely on ck Butterfly to do many things.


    '' Not to mention, she is also quite a beauty. Why should I not try to get her heart?'' Jia Haoughed lightly as he looked at his screen.


    [ Alright, I am letting you go this time. However, Beware, I shall be watching your activity]


    [ If you are brave enough to check my browser history, Go ahead. Check it]


    [... Not interested in that. Hmph!]


    Jia Hao looked at his watch and saw it was around 1 AM. The streets looked deserted. asionally, he would see some people who were going to the work night shift. Other than that, some random hobo walking drunk.


    '' Hmm, I already told Aunt Su that I am going to stay at my friend''s house. I can''t just go back to Su Family Manor. Not to mention, I am not going to school tomorrow too.''


    '' Should I go to Yun Continent? Hmm, No need for that. I can''t just sleep around randomly to go there.''


    As Jia Hao was pondering, a lightbulb shed in his mind.


    " Ah, Of course, I don''t have any friends. But¡­What if I stay with my girlfriend?"


    With a grin, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Mei. He knew that she would be still awake.


    " Hmm? Rascal, Why did you call me at this hour?"


    " Are you awake?"


    " Can''t you hear I am talking with you? Or are you thinking I am sleep talking?"


    " Well, I am in a little trouble. I wonder if I cane and sleep at yours?"


    " Wh-What? You want toe and spend the night in my house?" Lin Mei stammered as she replied. " I¡­How can I do that? My dad won''t let me."


    " But, Aren''t you living in a separate vi?"


    " Yo-You! How did you know?"


    " Are you really asking me that?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Now hurry up and give me your address."


    " Ugh¡­What if I say no?"


    " Can you? A maid has no right to deny her master, don''t you know?"


    " Rascal! You are going to rot in hell!"


    " I won''t mind the sexy demonesses and subuses there, you know?"


    " Haahh¡­Let me give you my address. Also, Since you areing, bring me a tub of dark chocte ice cream."


    " Alright, dear."


    " Hmph¡­Ande¡­early."


    " Hehe, Quite eager you are, aren''t you?"


    But the call already ended, making Jia Hao chuckle. Getting ready, he purchased a few things before going to Lin Mei''s address.


    Her vi was naturally in a luxurious residential area, like Su Family Mansion. He sneaked into the area, avoiding the security, and hopped into Lin Mei''s vi''s garden from behind.


    After all, he could still see some night guards here and there. Her father probably left them here to protect Lin Mei.


    As the backdoor opened, Jia Hao saw Lin Mei standing there, wearing a pajama. Crossing her arms, she stared at Jia Hao.


    " What if I shout and use you of trying to molest me?" Lin Mei chuckled.


    " Well, Why shout in fake? I can make your usations real."


    " Hmph, What a pervert."


    Lin Mei blushed when she heard the crass words of Jia Hao. Turning around, she beckoned him toe inside.


    " Not bad, You are living here all alone, huh?" Jia Hao looked around.


    This vi was much smallerpared to the other residences here. However, the view around here is breathtaking and it''s perfect for one or two people living together.


    Sitting on the sofa, Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei.


    " You hurriedly wore your pajamas, eh? Why don''t you go and change back to what you were wearing earlier?"


    " Like¡­a sexy lingerie?"

 Chapter 92: Romantic Movie?

    Lin Mei was baffled when she heard Jia Hao''s words. " Hu-Huh? What do you mean by that?"


    " You hurriedly wore that pajama. My eyes are sharp enough to see that." Jia Hao grinned. " Come on, no need to shy around me."


    " Well, Good for me I guess."


    Lin Mei snickered lightly as she got up and walked back to her room. A momentter, she returned wearing acy night down, revealing her thighs and arms which were covered by her pajama.


    " That''s my girl." Jia Hao grinned as he got up and took out the ice cream.


    " Here, The ice cream you asked."


    " Thanks, All ice creams were finished when I checked it." Lin Mei sighed as she brought a pair of spoons and sat beside Jia Hao.


    " So, What were you watching?"


    " Oh, Nothing. Just the TV and some series?" Lin Mei shrugged. " So, What brings you here?"


    " Can''t I juste to see my beautiful girlfriend?" Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei with a smirk.


    " Oh really? Such a pure white lie." Lin mei couldn''t help but snicker.


    Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei with speechless expression as he scooped a spoonful of ice cream and fed to Lin Mei.


    " Eat this and stay shut. You can''t just appreciate my love." Jia Hao muttered.


    Lin Mei rolled her eyes as she ate the ice cream. After a few moments, Jia Hao scooped some ice cream to eat, but then he looked at Lin Mei as she already opened her mouth, her gaze was on the TV.


    " What?" Jia Hao asked with confusion.


    " What what?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao." Feed me."


    " Why?"


    " Because I am your loving girlfriend?"


    '' Ah, You are using my spell on myself?'' Jia Hao snorted in his heart as he looked at the grinning Lin Mei.


    With a sigh, Jia Hao fed Lin Mei while eating ice cream.


    " You know what? If you don''t be a jerk for a while, I might really fall for you." Lin Mei sighed as she changed the channel.


    " You are talking as if you aren''t already falling for me." Jia Hao grinned. " Oh Lin Mei, I know you really love those jerk bad boys."


    " Bah, Who told you that?"


    " The winds carried the message to me." Jia Hao replied, almost making Lin Mei punch him.


    Jia Hao yawned as he took the remote and turned off the TV. Lin Mei turned and looked at him.


    " What? Why did you turn off the TV?"


    " What were we watching anyway? It''s so boring." Jia Hao shook his head. " I don''t do boring things, you know?"


    " Hah, Then what do you want to do?" Lin Mei asked with curiosity.


    Jia Hao thought for a moment as he looked at Lin Mei. " Do you know how to cook?"


    " Uh, No?"


    Lin Mei replied honestly. She felt cooking was a tedious task. So she didn''t bother to learn cooking.


    " How about I prepare something? Some quick night snack?"


    " Oh? Someone is bring quite considerate tonight." Lin Mei raised her eyebrows when she heard Jia Hao.


    " Noodles or dumplings shall suffice."


    " Alright." Jia Hao nodded as he walked to the kitchen. Lin Mei also followed him into the kitchen as she picked a ce and sat.


    " My maid prepares all the meals for me, so other than looking for snacks, I don''t have much work in the kitchen." Lin Mei spoke in a soft voice.


    " But look at you, you already know how to cook."


    " Cooking isn''t that hard." Jia Hao sliced the onions and chicken breasts with ease.


    " People just avoid cooking because of the amount of work involve in cooking and cleaning afterward. However, once you catch the gist of it, you will start loving it."


    With a grin, Jia Hao looked at Lin Mei. " Why don''t youe and help me? I will teach you a little bit of everything."


    " You sure?" Lin Mei hesitated a bit. " I never cooked before. I don''t want to mess¡­"


    " No need, Lin Mei. Come here."


    Lin Mei nodded as she walked to Jia Hao. As she took the knife from him, Jia Hao started to instruct her thoroughly.


    " While cutting onion, you need to move your knife like this. You need to make a sharp and clean cut."


    " If you make sharp and clean cuts, the onions won''t release much odor. Otherwise, if you chop messily, your eyes will tear up."


    " Now, you need to slice the tomatoes like this. And how to crack an egg? Just create a crack and¡­"


    Lin Mei''s expression turned serious as she listened to Jia Hao. He stood behind him, helping her to do small chores.


    After all preparations were done, Lin Mei suddenly turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Mm? What happened?"


    " You know¡­ When I was small, I used to see my mother in the kitchen, cooking delicious food for me. But¡­After she left¡­"


    " Haah, Thank you, for making me remember those good times."


    Jia Hao was stunned as Lin Mei leaned forward, making her lips meet Jia Hao''s. Jia Hao didn''t resist as he gave into the kiss, making their kiss deep and passionate.


    Their tongue yed with each other as both of them tasted each other''s saliva.


    After a while, Lin Mei pulled away as her cheeks were still rosy in color. " Hmph, You might be expecting for something like this to happen, right?"


    " Why not?" Jia Hao grinned as he focused back on his cooking. " However, I am d that you arefortable sharing your emotions with me."


    " Hmm¡­Think as you like."


    Lin Mei turned around and spoke in a low voice. After all, she can''t bear showing her embarrassed face to Jia Hao.


    After a while, Jia Hao prepared dumplings dipped in hot and sour sauce with fried noodles. Although he is by no means a master chef, being reincarnated eight times, he already learned cooking thoroughly.


    '' After all, It''s an essential skill for survival. Even if you throw random ingredients in a pot and call it a day, it''s also cooking.''


    " Come to my bedroom, there is also a TV there." Lin Mei chuckled as she turned around. Jia Hao held the tes and followed her.


    Entering her bedroom, Jia Hao could see it was quite spacious, adorned with pink and velvet. It''s very much like any rich girl''s bedroom.


    But Jia Hao could see that Lin Mei actually takes care of her own room and keeps it clean. cing it on a table, both of them got on the bed.


    " What should we y on TV?"


    " Hehe, I have a perfect idea¡­" Jia Hao grinned as he searched his phone for a moment before connecting it to TV. Turning off the light, Jia Hao and Lin Mei sat close.


    " Burning Rain in Midnight? What sort of movie is this?" Lin Mei asked curiously." I never heard about this movie."


    " Well, Don''t rush. You shall know soon." Jia Hao gave a mysteriousugh, making Lin Mei scowl.


    '' Hmph, This rascal is up to no good. However, the ambiance of the movie and the background is good. I wonder what is it about?''


    " Eh? The dumplings are actually good. I love the sauce." Lin Mei took a bite of the dumpling as the minced filling mixed with the tasty sauce, making her eat faster.


    " Well, I told you? I am not a bad cook, right?" Jia Hao grinned as he also dipped some fried noodles in the sauce.


    Lin Mei looked at the movie as she saw the plot slowly unfolding.


    Two strangers meet each other on a rainy night, each of them hiding secrets. However, a strange passion between them unfolded along with some robust dialogue.


    Lin Mei was hooked on the plot as she realized it might be a good suspense and thriller.


    However, her excitement took a strange turn as she saw the screen cking out for a moment.


    *PA!PA!PA!PA!*


    " Ahhn! Ahnn!~ Yes! Harder, Baby!"


    " Pound my pussy hard!~"


    " Haha, you really have such a beautiful body. I can keep fucking you all the time."


    The moans, along with the familiar pping sound unfolded before Lin Mei as a new scene appeared before her.


    Taking a deep breath, she red at Jia Hao.


    " So, It was a porn movie?"


    " I believe you wanted to say¡­Romantic Movie with explicit scenes?"


    " You know what? I won''t even say anything to you. Because it''s futile." Lin Mei sighed as she looked back at the scene.


    It wasn''t like she never watched any porn. But watching with someone like Jia Hao, she felt her heart was getting messier and messier.


    She felt like enjoying food and atmosphere, despite the involvement of lewd elements. Soon, the sex scene became intense as she saw bulge forming in Jia Hao''s pants.


    But before she was about to touch, Jia Hao looked at her. " Please wash your hands. I don''t want hot sauce on my dick."


    " Then I guess I won''t wash." Lin Mei snorted. " No pleasure for you tonight."


    Jia Hao looked at her as he grinned, showing his curled ring and middle finger.


    " No pleasure for you either, Dear."


    ".... I will be right back."

 Chapter 93: Martial Arts Tournament

    As the sunlight filtered through the windows, Lin Mei''s eyes fluttered, slowly opening. Turning around, she saw Jia Hao had already gotten up, wearing his shirt.


    " Mmn¡­You are¡­going?"


    " Yeah, I have some work."


    " Bu-But¡­Yawn¡­It''s early morning."


    " I know¡­"


    " Hmph¡­Pervert. Let me¡­sleep."


    Turning around Lin Mei slept again.


    Last night, the situation between Jia Hao and Lin Mei got heated as they watched the movie together. From sitting on the edge of the bed, they slowly leaned together, kissing and teasing each other along with the steamy scenes in the movie.


    Of course, they didn''t cross the final line. However, without crossing it, they already did whatever there was to do.


    Lin Mei felt like sleeping even more as Jia Hao''s tongue and fingers made here twicest night. But she didn''t give up without fighting.


    After an hour, Lin Mei woke up again, getting up and stretching her arms. She saw her nightgown was covering almost everything other than what it should cover.


    " Haah, Jia Hao really got too passionatest night, huh?"


    Lin Mei mumbled as she adjusted her clothes. However, the stains on the bedsheets made her cheeks turn hot from embarrassment.


    '' What a rascal! He is now evening to my own house to bully me! What did I do wrong to suffer this?'' With a light huff, she went downstairs.


    However, as she entered the kitchen, she was surprised.


    " Did the maid alreadye and prepare breakfast? But, it''s too early." Lin Mei frowned as she looked around, seeing no one around.


    " No way! Did that rascal make this for me?"


    Lin Mei''s lips twitched as she couldn''t help but smile. With a hum, she went back to fresh herself.


    '' Hmph¡­Although a rascal, He can be a bit sweet¡­sometimes.''


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao lightly jogged as he went to the Southern Edge Dojo instead of Su Family Mansion. Because it''s early morning and he knew Su Xing''er and Jiang Ruoyou might still be there.


    And as he thought, when he entered the training room, he saw Su Xing''er training the Eight Trigram Palm technique.


    " Huh? You actually came here directly?"


    Su Xing''er paused as she was surprised to see Jia Hao here. However, with a sudden snort, she turned away and continued to practice.


    " Uh, Good morning, Xing''er."


    " Don''t bother me. Can''t you see I am practicing here?"


    " Eh? Are you angry at me?"


    " Go away, Let me practice in peace."


    Jia Hao was baffled when he saw Su Xing''er''s attitude. Using his sapling of desire, he could feel a surge of jealousy and light-hearted anger towards him.


    '' What happened? I thought everything was good yesterday?'' Jia Hao sighed as he shook his head.


    '' Women are really hard to please.''


    Turning around, he went to the gym upstairs.


    Wearing a tight sports bra and leggings, Jiang Ruoyou was lifting weights and doing exercises in the private longue. When Jia Hao entered, she turned around and looked at her.


    " You weren''ting here for a few days. I thought you lost interest in exercise." Jiang Ruoyou spoke in a light voice.


    However, Her breath hitched as she got pulled into Jia Hao''s embrace.


    " Since you are here, how can I forgeting here?" Jia Hao chuckled, tracing lightly on Jiang Ruoyou''s back.


    " Le-Let me go!"


    " Should I?"


    Jia Hao grinned as his hand gently traced her waist, making each of his touches ignite feelings inside her. Before she could protest more, Jia Hao pulled her into a passionate kiss.


    " Mmnff!~"


    Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t exist as Jia Hao''s tongue pried open her lips, slowly teasing her tongue like a sneaky serpent. With the moment of his hands and kiss, Jiang Ruoyou felt deeply aroused.


    After a while, their lips parted as Jiang Ruoyou gasped for air.


    " Rouge! You still behave like this¡­"


    " Why wouldn''t I?" Jia Hao smacked his lips. " Sister Jiang, You can talk back to me the day you defeat me."


    " But till then, you need to endure me like this."


    Jiang Ruoyou gave a muffled moan as she pushed Jia Hao away. " But don''t touch me right now¡­I am still sweaty."


    " Well, I don''t mind it."


    " What a pervert." Jiang Ruoyou blushed when she saw the lewd smile on Jia Hao''s face intensify.


    " Now I see you, It seems you look a bit¡­different." She looked at Jia Hao and muttered. " Your muscles...It feels more well-defined and jacked."


    " I guess I grew a little much in the past few days?" Jia Hao crossed his arms and changed the topic.


    " I heard you were looking for me. What is it?"


    Jiang Ruoyou took a towel and wiped her sweat, regaining herposure.


    " Ah, I remember. Yes, I need some help." Jiang Ruoyou nodded. " Are you free three dayster?"


    " Why do you ask? If you want me, I can be free." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " There is a national martial arts tournament going tomence. And as one of the very few practitioners of Eight Trigram Palms, I will lead Southern Edge Dojo there."


    " However, I also need disciples to represent my dojo. And so far, there aren''t many promising figures." Jiang Ruoyou sighed.


    " Can you and Su Xing''ere with me to participate?"


    " Martial Arts Tournament?" Jia Hao fell into thoughts as he realized it was a good opportunity.


    '' Li Tao''s issue should be solved by tomorrow. So, I need to go out to see newer plots. And this tournament is the perfect ce to find them."


    '' Not to mention, I believe Feng Yunshi must be there too.''


    " Alright, Sister Jiang. I shallply with your request and attend the tournament."


    " Thank you, Jia Hao. If you participate, I doubt barely anyone can defeat the Southern Edge Dojo in the younger generation." Jiang Ruoyou spoke with a smile.


    " But, I won''t do it for free though?"


    Jiang Ruoyou''s smile paused when she heard that. '' Damn it! I knew it! He is definitely going to ask something lewd again!''


    " You are sweaty, right? You are probably going to take a shower, right?" Jia Hao asked with a smirk.


    " Uh¡­Yes?" Jiang Ruoyou nodded.


    But her eyes turned wide when he saw Jia Hao taking off his clothes.


    " Let''s shower together."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Su Xing''er finished her training as she walked to Jiang Ruoyou''s private longue.


    " Huh? Sister Jiang? Are you already showering?"

 Chapter 94: Shower Time

    After taking off his clothes, Jia Hao entered the bathroom without any hesitation. The bathroom was long in length, with four spacious cubicles line by line.


    Each of them was separated by frosted ss, making each other as private as possible. Jia Hao stood in a cubicle while facing the wall as he heard the door opening.


    " Pervert¡­Why do you always make such¡­requests?"


    Jiang Ruoyou stepped into the shower room as she tried to hide her breasts and pussy with her arms, trying to not look at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao didn''t turn around as he chuckled. " Why not? I have the chance to do so, Why won''t I do it?"


    " You are so beautiful, Sister Jiang. I can''t help but wish to indulge in your every time I see you."


    Saying that, he turned on the shower and adjusted the temperature. The lukewarm water drizzled on them like rain, making both of them drenched.


    " Why aren''t you turning around?" Jiang Ruoyou asked in a faint voice.


    " I was waiting for your approval and giving you some time to adjust." Jia Hao spoke in a mild voice. The water kept sliding on the solid creases on his back, created by his packed muscles.


    Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but stare at him with slight desire in her eyes.


    From her childhood, she always tried to prove herself. It''s not like she never tried to find a partner. However, what she craved was a man someone more stronger, better than her. Like a wall that stands tall before her, yet something she can lean against.


    Hesitantly, she took a step forward, stretching her arm and touching the back of Jia Hao.


    Rough, stiff, masculine¡­Such words swirled around Jiang Ruoyou''s heart as she became bolder as time passed.


    '' I don''t know why¡­But whenever I am near him¡­I feel like my emotions are exploding. Even the deepest desires in my heart¡­It was like they were blossoming by his touch.''


    '' Why? Have I already¡­fallen in love?''


    '' No¡­This isn''t love but only infatuation. Yet¡­I can''t help but give this lecher a chance¡­A chance to im my heart.''


    Jia Hao turned around as he looked at Jiang Ruoyou, her entire body was exposed under his gaze. The water droplets glided on her soft skin, her wet hair made her even more alluring.


    " Do-Don''t look¡­Don''t look at me so¡­ intensely."


    Jiang Ruoyou blushed when she saw Jia Hao''s burning gaze. It was as if he wanted to burn the image of naked Jiang Ruoyou into his heart.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao pulled her into his embrace, his palm slid down from her hips, caressing her slippery ass.


    " Why? Why I shouldn''t look at you?" Jia Hao spoke in a yful voice. " You are so beautiful, Sister Jiang. And I love to gaze at beautiful things.


    " Pervert¡­Mmmnphh!~"


    Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t protest anymore as Jia Hao''s lips sealed her lips. Her quivering body slowly calmed as she felt her and Jia Hao''s bodies rubbing against each other, separated by only a thinyer of water.


    Turning her around, Jia Hao kissed her nape as both of his palms rested on her abdomen.


    " Sister Jiang, Let me wash you properly."


    With a smirk, Jia Hao squeezed the shower gel and started to rub it on Jiang Ruoyou''s body. Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but whimper, feeling Jia Hao''s palm caressing every part of her body, scrubbing it clean.


    The room filled with the scent of soap, sweat, and lust, making both of them have a rare, indulging moment.


    " Then, I guess it''s my turn."


    Jiang Ruoyou turned around and looked at Jia Hao. Her palm moved, scrubbing the straight and robust chest of Jia Hao, asionally tracing his abs.


    She couldn''t help but marvel at his physique, which didn''t seem like a neen year old could possess.


    Her gaze flinched as she could see the massive erection between his legs, pointed towards her lower abdomen like a general pointing his spear toward his target.


    Her hands moved subconsciously as she started to rub it with soap and water.


    '' En¡­Since I am cleaning¡­I might clean all the way."


    " Ungh¡­This feels¡­good." Jia Hao leaned back against the wall as Jiang Ruoyou stroked his rod in a slow and sensual way.


    However, As Jia Hao was enjoying the stroking, a voice startled both of them.


    " Huh? Sister Jiang, Are you already showering?"


    Jia Hao and Jiang Ruoyou''s expressions changed as they heard the voice. It was none other than Su Xing''er.


    " Ahh! Xing''er¡­Yes, I am taking a shower. Haha, I guess¡­You ended your training."


    " Yes, Sister Jiang." Su Xing''er replied as she entered the cubicle next to them.


    " Have you seen Jia Hao?"


    " Him? He must be¡­in gym, I guess?"


    " Strange. I went there and didn''t see him." Su Xing''er muttered. Jiang Ruoyou''s heart thumped as she tried to remain calm.


    " I guess he must be a round there. Where else he could go¡­Ahn!~"


    " Huh? Sister Jiang? Are you alright?"


    Jiang Ruoyou covered her mouth as she felt Jia Hao hugging her from behind, his palm slipping between her legs.


    " Ah¡­It''s¡­Nothing! I just¡­slipped a bit." Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips as she spoke.


    " Is that so? You need to be careful, Sister Jiang." Su Xing''er nodded.


    " Hnnghh¡­Yes¡­"


    Jiang Rouyou turned her head and red as Jia Hao. But all she got in reply was an evil smirk.


    His finger traced the vertical lips between her legs, with asional rubbing her pubic hairs.


    " You cleaned me¡­Shouldn''t I do the same?"


    Jia Hao whispered in her ears, making Jiang Ruoyou shiver in both fear and excitement.


    His fingers gently parted her swollen folds and entered inside, teasing the inner flesh inside her sacred well. Jia Hao''s fingers seemed to be magical as it found the sweet spot right away, making Jiang Ruoyou''s legs limp.


    " Uhhnngh!~"


    " Sister Jiang?"


    " MMnngh!~ Yes, Xing''er? I am¡­fine¡­Just having a little¡­Cramps."


    " Should Ie over there?"


    " Ah-Not really!"


    " Well, I am really angry with that bastard today. Hmph, How dare he spend the night at Lin Mei''s house?"


    Jia Hao''s ears perked when he heard that. '' Eh? How did she know?''


    Yet his fingers became faster and faster as his lips roamed on the nape of Jiang Ruoyou,bringing her closer to the orgasm.


    " Sister Jiang, Did Jia Hao give you anything?"


    " Nnngh¡­No¡­He didn''t."


    " Strange¡­"


    " Hnnnghhh!~ I am cumming!~"


    " Huh?"


    " Ahn!~ I mean¡­" Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips.


    " I aming out¡­Please enjoy¡­your shower, Xing''er."


    " Ah, Ok."

 Chapter 95: Appeasing Jealousy

    Su Xing''er left shortly after Jiang Ruoyou. As she walked out, she saw Jiang Ruoyou putting on her dress.


    " Sister Jiang, Are you alright?"


    " Ah! Xing''er¡­"


    " Hmm? Your legs are shivering a bit." Su Xing''er looked at the startled Jiang Ruoyou with suspicion. Not to mention, her face was red.


    " Umm¡­I guess I practiced my kicks a bit too much today. And I just came out of the shower. So maybe¡­That''s the reason?" Jiang Ruoyou spoke in a stuttering voice.


    " Ahh, I see, I see¡­" Su Xing''er nodded with understanding. When both of them returned to the longue, they saw Jia Hao sitting on a couch and ying with his phone.


    " Huh? Where did you go?" Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao and asked.


    " I went to shower after exercising a bit." Jia Hao chuckled as he put back the phone and took out a manual.


    " Here, something for both of you."


    Jiang Ruoyou took it and started to flip it. Suddenly, her expression changed as she started to flip it faster and faster. Confusion, excitement, shock, and strangeness, Jiang Ruoyou''s expression changed a lot of times in a few breaths.


    " This¡­This is Eight Trigram Palms? This¡­But this feels different! I need to read more." Jiang Ruoyou hurriedly spoke. " Where did you get this?"


    " This is an improvised version of Eight Trigram Palms. As for the source, even if I tell you, you won''t understand." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " However, I believe this will help you very much, It will rify most of your doubts and save you from unnecessary movements."


    " And, I already have a copy for you, Xing''er. So, No need to look at me like that."


    " Hmph, At least you have some conscience." Su Xing''er puffed her cheeks as she looked at Jiang Ruoyou, who was still engrossed in the manual.


    " Sister Jiang, Is this thing legit?"


    " I didn''t read everything. However, it''s much simr to the original technique of Eight Trigram Palm passed down in my family." Jiang Ruoyou nodded.


    " However, I still nning to study it thoroughly. You should also take a look at the copy, Su Xing''er. And if you have any questions, you can ask me."


    " Thank you, Sister Jiang! You are a real help!" Su Xing''er became happy instantly when she heard her.


    " Alright, Since our work is done, let''s go back?"


    Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao and nodded. " En, It''s already time. We should go back."


    As they left the Southern Edge Dojo, Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er.


    " What is it? Are you angry with me?"


    " Hmph, Why would I?" Su Xing''er replied in a curt voice. " Or, Are you thinking because you DID something that might irk me?"


    " Ugh? What did I do? You can tell me, and I will tell the truth." Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he walked with Su Xing''er.


    " You! You said you were going to sleep over at a friend''s housest night?"


    " Yes?"


    " Where did you go?"


    " A friend''s house?"


    Su Xing''er''s lips twitched as she tried to calm herself. " And, Who is that friend?"


    " Lin Mei."


    " Damn it! Jia Hao, you are really bold, Huh?" Su Xing''er chided. " You actually went to sleep at a girl''s house?"


    " What''s the problem?" Jia Hao shrugged. " She said she was getting bored while being alone. So, she invited me to her house."


    " But, How do you know?"


    Su Xing''er snorted as she pulled out her phone, showing a picture.


    It looks like Lin Mei took a pic of Jia Hao and her hand over the dumpling tes, with the caption: ''Me and¡­A handsome pervert''.


    '' Ah, So that''s why she took that picture.''


    Realization dawned in Jia Hao''s mind as he finally understood how Su Xing''er came to know it.


    " Wait, Doesn''t that mean you are following Lin Mei on social media? I thought you didn''t liked her?" He raised his brows, looking at Su Xing''er with suspicion.


    " Ugh, I just¡­Got curious, ok?" Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " Who would have expected that you actually spent a night there."


    " Hehe, Xing''er, Are you feeling jealous?" Jia Hao grinned as he crossed his arms.


    " Wh-Why would I? I have no reason."


    Su Xing''er turned away, trying to hide her face. However, Jia Hao didn''t back down.


    " Oh, Xing''er, Don''t worry. We didn''t do anything. At least not the things you are thinking?"


    " Hmph? You are talking like you know what I am thinking."


    " Yep." Jia Hao nodded. " We didn''t have sex."


    " Ughh¡­ I didn''t need to know that."


    Su Xing''er''s face was like a tomato as she increased the pace of her walking. Jia Hao couldn''t help but shake his head.


    '' Heh, Even being a mature girl, she gets easily flustered by lewd things.''


    " I just cooked something for her and then we watched movies. That''s all. Then we went to sleep."


    " Sleep? You slept together?" Su Xing''er asked again.


    " Uh¡­No? I mean, In the same room, but with separate beds. We stayed tillte as we were talking with each other." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Well, Xing''er, I guess that''s my fault? How about this? How should Ipensate for you metal damage?"


    " You can''tpensate." Su Xing''er huffed.Jia Haiughed lightly.


    " Lady, There isn''t anything in the world that can bepensated. Just ask me what do you want from me?"]


    " Hmph, At least you are a bit considerate." Su Xing''er muttered. " However, I won''t ask anything for now. Let me think and I shall let you know."


    " Alright. For now¡­Let me buy you a crepe."


    " Huh? Thanks."


    Su Xing''er enjoyed the crepe along with Jia Hao as they talked about the uing tournament. Su Xing''er was excited as she agreed to go with Jiang Ruoyou to represent Southern Edge Dojo,


    As they were about to reach Su Family Mansion, Jia Hao''s phone rang. It was none other than Feng Yunshi.


    " How? How did you get those videos?"


    " Your reply is prettyte though?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I already sent youst night. I didn''t think it would be such crucial information." Feng Yunshi spoke in an apologetic tone."

 Chapter 96: Preparing Trap For Li Tao

    It was early morning when Feng Yunshi got up. After doing her morning routine, she checked her mail. She was surprised when she saw the mail from Jia Hao.


    " Un¡­ What did he send sotest night?"


    However, the moment she opened the files, her expression couldn''t help but change. She sat down and started to watch each of them.


    '' Damn it! This bastard Li Tao! He is truly the worst scum to live!'' Feng Yunshi cursed in her heart as she checked the documents and the videos.


    Her eyes narrowed as the documents had details of all the ckmailing and transactions of bribes and ck money. The more she saw, the more fascinated she became.


    Instantly, she took out her phone and called Jia Hao.


    " Ah, Sister Feng, What is it?"


    " Jia Hao, How did you got these things? Just how?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he replied. " Well? Didn''t you tell me that all you need is some hard proof to bring down Qingzhu Jewery and Li Tao?"


    " How about now? Is this enough?"


    " This¡­This is more than enough." Feng Yunshi admitted. " However, I am still curious. Where did you get these videos?"


    " Well? That''s a trade secret, Sister Yunshi. I am sure you will understand."


    " Argh! Fine, I shall let you off this time."


    " So, Sister Yunshi, Are you sure you can take down Li Tao?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    " Hehe, Little Brother Hao, all you need to do is sit back and watch today''s evening news." Feng Yunshi replied with a light smirk.


    " On the other hand, I have already given the order of your sauces to the factories. You can take them tomorrow."


    " Thank you for your help, Sister Yunshi. I shall await the good news."


    Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao with an annoyed tone. " Now which woman you were flirting with."


    " Just some business dealing. Nothing as you think, Xing''er." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Hah! A neen year old brat like you doing business deals? Jia Hao, I thought you knew how to lie better."


    Jia Hao rubbed his forehead as he looked at Su Xing''er. " It''s about your kidnappers and the one who wanted to harm Su Famlily."


    Su Xing''er''s expression turned serious instantly when she heard that. Of course, after her kidnapers were caught, there wasn''t any news regarding the ones behind the scene.


    The police told them that it might be a case of kidnapping due to ransome. However, now hearing Jia Hao, Su Xing''er felt something wasn''t right.


    " Are you¡­Telling the truth?"


    " Aunt Su already attacked twice. And¡­" Jia Hao was about to reveal the attempt of kidnapping at the shopping mall, but he changed it.


    " Anyway, Xing''er, You don''t need to worry. After all, Your elder brother Jia is here."


    " Hmmm¡­"


    Su Xing''er hummed as she looked away. However, she couldn''t help but feel troubled by the revtion. Suddenly, she shivered as Jia Hao held her hands.


    " Xing''er, Believe in me. No matter what, I won''t let anyone harm you or Su Family." Jia Hao spoke in a sincere tone.


    " So, How about we go and ask Big Sis Lan to y music for us?"


    " Haha, Alright."


    Su Xing''er rubbed her cheeks as she gave a light smile following Jia Hao back to the Mansion.


    " Hmm? Hao''er, Xing''er, Both of you are back." Su Lan smiled. " So, Hao''er, How was your night out?"


    " Err¡­It was fine, Sister Lan." Jia Hao gave a stifledugh.


    " Heh, Don''t ask him, Big Sis. He really enjoyed a lotst night." Su Xing''er huffed, making Su Lan curious.


    " Alright, I am going to prepare some light dishes. Anyone want toe with me to the kitchen?"


    " I shall go with you, Sister Lan!"


    " Me too, Big Sis!" Su Xing''er replied cheerfully.


    After that, the three of them had some good moments inside the kitchen.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Li Tao entered his office as he sat on his seat. As he reviewed his files, he suddenly felt something was amiss.


    " Huh? The desk¡­It feels different?" Li Tao mumbled. " Ah, I guess I am a bit excited today."


    Li Tao''s secretary walked inside and greeted him. " Good Morning, Chairman Li."


    " I have reviewed all the files. It''s alright. As for the minor things, You can check it by yourself." Li Tao spoke.


    " As you say, Chairman."


    " Also, Another thing." Li Tao''s smirk grew. " That new intern girl¡­Send her to me."


    " Ah, Her¡­Chairman Li, I believe¡­It would be a bit difficult."


    Li Tao sighed as he waved his hands. " You know me, don''t you? I shall give you a bonus this month. Now, Do as I say."


    " Hehe, Yes, Chairman Li."


    Not long after, the girl entered Li Tao''s room.


    " Greetings Chairman Li. I am Shi Yuzi. I recently graduated and working as an intern in yourpany. I am hoping to work with you in the future."


    " I see, I have seen your performance in the sales department and I feel you are very good as an intern." Li Tao turned around and smiled.


    " I have seen your file and interview. It looks like you need money for your family, Hm?"


    " Chairman Li is right. I need to earn money so my parents can live happily." Shi Yuzi spoke with determination.


    " Well, There are two types of sry. One is¡­ livable wage. And another one is¡­you say, a good amount of money." Li Tao walked toward Shi Yuzi as he chuckled.


    " However, to earn extra money, you need to do extra work. You need to maintain various sorts of rtionships and keep the boss, I mean¡­Me, Happy."


    " Can you do all this?"


    Shi Yuzi was startled as she nodded hastily. " Of course, Chairman Li. I believe in myself and I will definitely prove useful for you and yourpany. Please, just give me a chance."


    " Of course, I will. Miss Shi doesn''t need to worry much."


    Shi Yuzi suddenly shivered as she felt Li Tao''s hands on her hips.


    " Mr¡­Mr Li, I¡­"


    " There will be a private karaoke this evening. I want you toe there. If your performance remains well, You shall receive a position and bonus."


    " I¡­I understand."


    Shi Yuzi bit her lips as she shivered, nodding to Li Tao''s words. She could feel his palm was slowly creeping up to her ass.


    " Uhm, Mr. Li¡­I think I need to go to the washroom."


    She turned around and left hastily. Li Tao grinned when he saw the reaction.


    '' No matter how much you struggle, You can''t escape this. Heh¡­ There are countless secret cameras across this office. Getting some spicy pictures of you won''t be hard.''


    " Chairman! This is bad!"


    Li Tao''s thoughts broke as he looked at his secretary with annoyance.


    " Why the hell are you yelling?"


    " Our stock prices! It''s decreasing!"

 Chapter 97: Punishing Li Tao

    Li Tao''s expression darkened when he heard that. " What do you mean our stock prices have been decreasing?"


    " We have already hit the first lower circuit. However, the situation isn''t looking." The secretary replied hurriedly. " It looks like some bigpanies are targeting our stocks, making them fall like cards."


    " Damn it! Who the hell are they? Do they think mypany is a ying ground?" Li Tao was enraged.


    However, at that moment, another person rushed into the office. He was the head of the marketing department.


    " Boss, This isn''t good! Many of our clients are canceling our orders! Some of them are saying that we have betrayed them! I don''t know how they know but¡­"


    Li Tao''s feet turned cold when he heard the news from the marketing department. His brain worked fast as he kicked his chair and knelt before his desk, opening his hiddenpartment.


    " No-no! NO! NO! NOO! WHERE? WHERE ARE THEY!?"


    His brain buzzed the moment he saw all the sh drives and files inside it was gone. Cold sweat drenched his back as Li Tao felt his heart skipping several beats at once.


    " Ch-Chairman Li?"


    " Boss! Are you alright!?"


    " Let him get on the seat!"


    " Find him!" Li Tao spoke in a trembling voice. Both the people before him were stunned.


    " Find who, Boss?"


    " FIND THE BASTARD WHO CAME TO MY OFFICE AND STOLE MY STUFF!" Li Tao roared, almost spraying the faces of his subordinates with his spit.


    " Ye-Yes!"


    " I am calling the surveince department right away!"


    Li Tao kept trembling as he loosened his tie. '' No! If¡­If those things get out to the media, I will be finished! No matter what, I need to catch that damned bastard!''


    " Si-Sir! We got news from the surveince department! But it''s absurd!"


    " What is it?!"


    " Nothing happenedst night!" The secretary took a breath of cold air as he spoke. " It waspletely clean. The patrolling officers were also there and they didn''t see anything."


    " Also, your office camera was also working properly. And, it didn''t catch any intruder."


    " No! How is this possible?! I saw the videos yesterday before going!" Li Tao roared. " You think I am some sort of fool? You bastards! Hurry up and check everything at once!"


    " But, Boss! We already checked everything thoroughly."


    " Fuck! Then go and investigate everything! Get the information of those who are attacking our stocks!"


    Saying that Li Tao got up and walked away hurriedly. Everyone looked at him with a strange gaze but they returned back to do damage control.


    '' Fuck! Fucl! I need to escape! I need to get out of this damned country!''


    '' Thepany¡­It will get over with it. All I need to do is to get out and hide for a while!''


    " Go to my third private quarters! Hurry up!" Li Tao shouted to his driver as he left the office quickly.


    However, the moment he left, a ck colored car started to follow his car.


    Jia Hao was enjoying the scallion pancakes with Su Lan and Su Xing''er. But at that moment, his phone rang.


    " Ah, Sister Yunshi, I believe you have already started your job?"


    " Can''t you even greet properly to a beautifuldy?" Feng Yunshi sighed. " Anyway, I wanted to tell you that Li Construction Group and our Heizhou Conglomerate have already started to attack the Qingzhu Jewelry. The Tianguang Hall is also helping us to suppress Qingzhu Jewelry."


    " Another thing is, We got the news that Li Tao rushed out from his office in an anxious and hurried state. Hehe, I guess he already knew about his secrets getting leaked."


    " I have already asked my people to follow him."


    Jia Hao''s lips curled when he heard that. " Very well, Sister Yunshi. Just give me the address of his hideout. After that, I will handle Li Tao while you handle hispany and reputation."


    " Wa-Wait, What are you going to do?"


    " Hehe, It''s a secret~"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he ended his call. Su Xing''er and Su Lan looked at him.


    " Who are you talking about, Hao''er?"


    Su Xing''er felt like she understood what Jia Hao was talking about. " Must be his friend, Big Sis Lan. You don''t need to worry."


    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw Su Xing''er was helping him. He put a pancake in his mouth as he turned around.


    " I am going out for a while, but I shall return soon. Do you need anything from outside?"


    " Ah, I want to eat beef tonight. So, bring some back when youe." Su Xing''er spoke.


    " Ah, Fine choice. I shall keep it in mind. Tonight¡­is going to be very eventful." Jia Hao grinned as he turned and left.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! Those bastards! How dare they! Hmph! Once I recover my money, I shall make aeback!"


    " But first! How did someone manage to get those things? Other than me, not a single soul knew about those things!"


    *CRASH!*


    Li Tao threw the wine ss, making it shatter into a thousand pieces. His face was red, trembling with anger and anxiety. In his forty years of work, he never felt this overwhelmed before.


    The sh drives contained all his sins, which he did very passionately.


    Most of them were sex tapes, which were used for ckmailing materials. Wives, daughters, sisters of his enemies, and others, whom he raped and filmed.


    He enjoyed watching them when he was alone, relishing the torment he inflicted on everyone.


    Using those, he kept them under his check. Not to mention, he even used them to slowly ruin their lives and make them the stepping stone for Qingzhu Jewelry.


    Recently, he felt that Su Yunqi''s Blue Crystal Corporation was taking over the gems and precious treasure market. He felt that if he could merge thepany with his, he could be one of the overlords of the Tianshu Nation''s jewelry and artifact market,peting with other existing powers.


    However, Su Yunqi was a tough woman who didn''t yield to his advances. Being a beautiful widow and obstacle, Li Tao''s bestial instincts grew as he created various ploys to get her.


    Unfortunately, the moment heid his hands on Su Yunqi, he felt everything was going awry in his life.


    '' That damned bitch! I won''t let her go!''


    *CRING! CRING!*


    " Mr. Li! You are in quite a luck. We have prepared everything you asked for. Be ready today''s evening."


    " Thank you. I have already sent money to your ount." Li Tao nodded as he ended the call.


    '' Phew, Thankfully, I always have a backup n. I managed to secure a way to safely get out of this country. Hehe, No one would be able to catch me.''


    '' Just wait! Once I return¡­''


    *PAAA!*


    Li Tao felt his brain buzzing as he shot forward, smashing his face on the ground. He flet like a giant bear pped the behind of his head.


    " KHUAAKKHH!"


    He spat a mouthful of salty saliva as he turned around, trying to restore his blurry vision.


    " Wh-Which bastard¡­"


    Li Tao stopped midway as he gazed carefully at that face. His expression changed as he recognized him instantly.


    " Yo-You! You are the nephew of that bitch, Su Yunqi!"


    " How! How did you find this ce?!"


    Jia Hao gave a cold snicker when he heard Li Tao. " You are talking like I can''t simply follow you. You really thought you are untouchable, huh?"


    " Bas-Bastard! So it was you!"


    Li Tao''s eyes turned red when he heard Jia Hao''s words. Gritting his teeth, he got up and clenched his fist.


    " Yeah, You bastard! It was me."


    Jia Hao snorted as he took a step forward. " You really thought you can just fuck around with women and get unscathed?"


    " Trying to gather ck material on Aunt Su, kidnapping Xing''er and Su Lan, you think I will simply let it go?"


    " Heh! A brat like you¡­To think a little bastard made me fall to this."


    Li Tao rubbed his face as heughed crazily. " But it was truly foolish for you toe here alone!"


    " Now, You have to die!"


    With a roar, Li Tao threw a punch at Jia Hao, with hate and anger burning in his eyes.


    He was a secret MMA Fighter for ten years, using both brute force and cunning to defeat and even kill his enemies.


    '' I will fucking crush him and make him beg for mercy!''


    Jia Hao sighed as he raised his palm, and caught Li Tao''s fist.


    *CRAACCKK! CRACKK!*


    " ARRRGHHHH! MY HAND!"


    Jia Hao used his brute force and crushed his fist like a walnut, breaking his bones into pieces. Li Tao fell to his knees as he held his mangled fist, tears falling from his eyes from agony.


    " Suffer, You fucker." Jia Hao''s lips curled upwards. " Thanks to you, I ripped quite a lot of my hair in my past life."


    " I was nning to send you to the jail. However, I think now, making you disappear would be a better choice. So after that, Blue Crystal Company can swallow yourpany."


    " Yo-You! What do you want to do?!"


    " Well, How about we start with ripping your fingernails?"


    Jia Hao replied with a bright smile.

 Chapter 98: Justice Served

    Su Yunqi was busy in her office. " Haah? Why are there so many file works today? My back is hurting already."


    " Boss Su! Urgent news!"


    Su Yunqi rubbed her forehead as she sighed. " Muyu, Don''t tell me the PR department made some fuss again? I will really kill them this time."


    " Not that, Boss Su! It''s about Qingzhu Jewelry!"


    Hearing her secretary, Su Yunqi''s eyes narrowed. " That bastard Li Tao, what is he up to this time?"


    " No! It''s falling! The price of Qingzhu Jewelry has already hit the third lower circuit and closed the trading of today!"


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    Su Yunqi was rmed when she heard that. Qingzhu Jewelry was the toppetitor of her Blue Crystal Company. Hispany''s stock was even higher than herpany.


    '' Yet, It already hit the third lower circuit? What happened? Li Tao shouldn''t be that ipetent?''


    " Boss Su, The thing is, several people filed cases against the Qingzhu Jewelry. They were used of breaching contracts, insider trading, and other illegal things."


    " Not to mention, Someone already gave us all the documents regarding this and some dirt on the Board of Members of Qingzhu Jewelry." The secretary spoke in an excited voice.


    " Boss Su, We should use this chance and attack the Qingzhu Jewelry. If it falls, we would be able to dominate the treasure market of the entire eastern province and ourpany would be a small conglomerate in Tianshu Nation."


    She handed Su Yunqi the tablet, showing her the news and the information she had gotten so far. Su Yunqi frowned as she looked at the data.


    " This¡­If this is true, then we would be able to capture the Qingzhu Jewelry group with ease. However, what is it''s a trap?"


    " I doubt, Boss Su." The secretary shook her head. " I don''t think Li Tao would prepare any trap with the expense of 500 million yuan."


    " This¡­This is also true. We should proceed with the n we made long ago. To think it''s time to implement that¡­" Su Yunqi pursed her lips.


    " Very well, Boss Su, I know what to do."


    " Un, You should start the process." Su Yunqi sighed. "It would be best if we manage to buy the entire Qingzhu Jewelry. However, if that''s not possible, we could at least deal a heavy blow to their shares."


    Suddenly, Su Yunqi''s phone rang. She was surprised when she saw it was Jia Hao.


    " Hello? Hao''er? Howe you are calling me at this time? Is everything alright?"


    " Ah, Aunt Su, you are worrying too much." Jia Hao replied with a light smile. " Have you watched the news, Aunt Su? Did you like my gift?"


    " News? Gift? I don''t¡­Wait! You couldn''t be¡­"


    Su Yunqi was stunned as her gaze fell back on the tablet. '' No way! Jia Hao¡­Did he cause the fall of Qingzhu Jewelry''s stocks?''


    " Jia Hao¡­You did that to Qingzhu Jewelry?"


    " Hehe, Aunt Su, I guess you are happy now? You should now do your best and capture the Qingzhu Jewelry."


    " Hao''er, Are you alright? You don''t¡­Just, Don''t put yourself in any danger, alright?"


    " Uhn, Don''t worry about me, Aunt Su. I just called you to tell you that I have solved Li Tao''s problem permanently. So, he will never pester you again."


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Yunqi bit her lips as she became silent, with her heart bubbling withplicated emotions.


    '' How? How could Hao''er pull off such an impressive feat? Huh? Wait a second!''


    Looking back at the tablet, she found who were helping her to take down the Qingzhu Jewelry. It was Li Construction and Heizhou Food Corporation.


    '' Mr. Li was very respectful towards us when we were in the banquet. Not to mention, He invited Jia Hao for a private chat. Does that mean Hao''er used him to take down Li Tao?''


    " Aunt Su? Hello? Am I audible?"


    " Ah, Hao''er, I am alright and the connection is stable. I was just thinking how you managed to do it."


    " Well, I shall reveal this secretter, Aunt Su. But not now." Jia Haoughed. " Aunt Su, Li Tao wanted to take advantage of you and your daughters. Not to mention, he even sent men to kidnap them yesterday."


    " So, I just couldn''t stay still. I won''t let anyone harm you or your daughters, Aunt Su."


    " Anyway, Aunt Su, You should now prepare for the celebration. Because the next gift shall arrive in few hours."


    " Hao''er? Hello?"


    Su Yunqi realized that the call already ended.


    " Who was it, Boss Su?" The secretary asked in a curious voice.


    " My son, Muyu."


    Su Yunqi smiled proudly as she said that.


    However, a strange feeling couldn''t help but bubble in her heart.


    A strange affection, which wasn''t maternal.


    Jia Hao looked at his phone as he chuckled. " Haah, I always love to see the smile on Aunt Su''s face."


    Turning around, he looked at the haggard figure kneeling before him, his mouth gagged by cloth. It was none other than Li Tao.


    " MMGGHH! MNGHH!"


    " You can''t speak. Why are you wasting your energy in this futile effort?" Jia Hao sighed as he squatted before him. Rubbing his palms which were gloved, he took the palm of Li Tao and ripped another fingernail.


    Li Tao groaned as tears and saliva soaked his face. But his wails couldn''t get past his mouth. Jia Hao took a deep breath as he was harvesting a great amount of desire qi from Li Tao''s misery.


    Pain, Agony, Anger, Hatred, Fear, Jia Hao was basking with various negative emotions, each more intense than the other. The desire qi formed leaves after leaves in the sapling of desire inside him, making it grow.


    '' Unlike my internal energy of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts which recovers energy from medicines and natural energy, the desire qi is expendable and can be only recovered by other''s emotion.''


    '' But then, harvesting desire qi can sometimes be even easier than harvesting energy from the world. After all, desire in humans is abundant as grasses in a meadow.''


    Each of the petals on the sapling was different in color, depicting different desires.


    Obsidian ck petals were petals of fear and despair, the vibrant jade green petals were petals of jealousy and envy, the shimmering brown petals were petals of hate, the alluring golden yellow petals with small mouth like fissures were petals of greed and gluttony, the zing red petal with white mes is petal of anger and pride, and the pink shining petal is petal of joy and lust.


    Each time Jia Hao uses a particr emotion towards others, the corresponding petal shall get consumed.


    And currently, the small sapling was brimming with petals of fear, hate, anger, and despair.


    " Well, I would like to torture you a bit more¡­But you see, I don''t want to waste time anymore. Hehe, I would rather spend my time with some beauties rather than you."


    " So, Goodbye forever, Li Tao. Maybe you born a better human in your next life."


    " GNNGHH!MNNGHHHH!!"


    Li Tao''s eyes turned wide with horror as he tried to struggle. But Jia Hao held his neck and snapped it, breaking his windpipe with a snap.


    After that, he threw his corpse inside the Pot of Miracle. Swiftly, the corpse got absorbed but the progress bar increased just slightly.


    " I guess people in this world aren''t as nutritious as Yun Continent''s martial artists. I can only upgrade the pot in Yun Continent, I guess."


    Suddenly, a sh of white light appeared above Jia Hao, like starlight raining on him.


    His Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art activated as his foundation absorbed the starlight.


    '' Virtuous energy? Such a dense amount of Virtuous Energy, Just how much sin did Li Taomit?''


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he felt like his entire body was rejuvenated. The virtuous energy directly merged with his foundation, mending the cracks and making his foundation stable and polished.


    '' Not to mention, my internal qi became more pure and fluid. The Yang energy is pretty robust right now.''


    Jia Hao patted his palm as he turned around and left. Since Li Tao''s body won''t be found, he would be filed as missing or escaped from the country.


    He also didn''t leave any traces of his, which can make him fall under the police''s radar.


    When Jia Hao returned home, Su Yunqi alreadye back.


    " Hao''er, You are back! Wh-What happened to your clothes?"


    " Ah, I just fell down and my clothes became dirty." Jia Hao chuckled. " Anyway, Aunt Su¡­"


    " Mom, Look at the news!" Su Lan suddenly shouted, drawing Su Yunqi''s attention.


    " Breaking news! Chairman of Qingzhu Jewelry, Li Tao''s dark deeds are exposed! Several sex tapes of Li Tao went viral on the inte."


    " Many of the rape victims came forward, admitting Li Tao''s crime. This is even more outrageous than Qingzhu Jewelry''s scandal!"


    " Police is already trying to find Li Tao to arrest. However, His whereabouts are unknown."


    Su Yunqi turned around and rushed towards Jia Hao, hugging him tightly.


    " Hao''er, I¡­ i just don''t know how to thank you."


    " You don''t need to, Aunt Su." Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice.


    " After all, I love you¡­I love you all."

 Chapter 99: Preparing Stage for Su Yunqi

    Jia Hao sat at the dining table, exining briefly how he managed to get the dirt on Li Tao.


    " So, Your friend hacked into his system and managed to steal the files?" Su Lan was surprised. " Your friend must be an exceptional hacker."


    " Oh, That''s true." Jia Hao nodded with a smile. " Aunt Su, Can I have some more rice?"


    " Of course, Hao''er. Here, take this." Su Yunqi smiled as she served more rice to Jia Hao.


    " And, Lin Mei''s father and his friends helped to attack the Qingzhu Jewelry, taking down its stock price."


    " Is that why you were getting so lovey dovey with Lin Mei?" Su Xing''er pursed her lips.


    " What do you mean?" Jia Hao was speechless. " It''s just¡­Lin Mei helped me as a friend. That''s it."


    " Or is it?"


    " Heh, Are you jealous, Xing''er?" Jia Hao grinned. " Don''t worry, Your Elder Brother''s heart is very big. You can easily stay there."


    " Hmph! Say what you want, I don''t care."


    " Aunt Su, What about you?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi. " Are you going to take over the Qingzhu Jewelry?"


    " Well, I was skeptical at first. However, seeing the current state of Qingzhu Jewelry, It would be possible." Su Yunqi chuckled. " Let''s wait for two days till Qingzhu Jewelry''s stocks turn into dirt. At that moment, I will purchase it."


    " If Qingzhu Jewelry bes ours, ourpany profit margin will increase by more than 50%." Su Lan probed.


    " And that''s merely in the first year. As long as we develop bothpanies, we could turn the Blue Crystal Corporation into a giantpany in a few years."


    " Big Sis Lan is so wise. Unfortunately, I don''t like dealing withpanies and stuff." Su Xing''er sighed.


    " You need brain and intelligence to work on that stuff, Xing''er. You don''t need to worry much." Jia Hao consoled her.


    " Yeah, You are right¡­Huh?" Su Xing''er paused as she looked at Jia Hao angrily. " Are you saying I have no brain?"


    " Oh? Did I say that?"


    " Alright, Hao''er. Don''t tease Xing''er much." Su Lan giggled as she pinched Jia Hao''s cheek.


    " Hehe, I just can''t help myself." Jia Hao chuckled as he wiped his lips. " Anyway, I have eaten enough. I can''t eat anymore."


    " Xing''er, I already gave you the manual. You should start reading it already."


    " I already did, Jia Hao. And I have to admit, this new manual goes deeper into the techniques and postures." Su Xing''er admitted.


    " Sister Jiang invited us to join the National Martial Arts Tournament under Southern Edge Dojo''s name. Are youing with me?"


    " Huh? National Martial Arts Tournament?" Su Xing''er''s eyes sparkled. " Of course, Why not? I am very eager to participate!"


    " Hmm, I knew it." Jia Hao nodded. " Tomorrow, Tell Sister Jiang and she will give you all the necessary instructions."


    " Are you going to participate too?" Su Xing''er asked in a curious voice.


    " Of course." Jia Hao nodded with a smile. " It wouldn''t be good if I don''t demonstrate my strength, right?"


    " But now I think, What sort of martial arts do you practice, Jia Hao?" Su Xing''er suddenly asked.


    " Do I need to practice martial arts to defeat martial artists?" Jia Hao grinned. " In front of raw strength, techniques are meaningless."


    " Heh, You think you will just go and show raw strength in the tournament? You might get disqualified."


    " Then I shall just use basic fist technique. Punches and jabs, It will do everything."


    " If you don''t want to tell, then don''t tell. You don''t need to speak in riddle." Su Xing''er huffed as she got off from her seat. " Alright, I am going to sleep. I need to wake up early tomorrow."


    " I shall also go. I am feeling a bit tired today." Su Lan nodded. Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi as he could feel strings of pink desire qiing towards him.


    '' Hehe, My dear Aunt Su, Have you already started to develop feelings towards me? Then, I shall amplify it for a bit, ok?''


    Jia Hao gave a deviousugh in his heart as he activated his Six Desires Myriad Thought arts. He held Su Yunqi''s hand and asked in a calm tone.


    " What happened, Aunt Su? Are you alright?"


    " Ahh! Hao''er¡­I am¡­Fine."


    Su Yunqi felt her cheeks turning warm and red as she hurriedly got up. " I¡­ I shall do the tes. Hao''er, you should go and sleep."


    " Ah¡­Alright, Aunt Su." Jia Hao nodded as he got up. In his mind, he had already set up today''s stage.


    '' Hehe, My dear step mom, How are you going to escape from my clutch?''


    Jia Hao chuckled as he retreated to his room. Sitting on his bed, he took out his notebook and crossed out the name of Li Tao.


    '' Alright, One viin down, many to go.'' Jia Hao mumbled in his heart as he closed his eyes, writing down a few names.


    Lin Mei, Feng Yunshi, ck Butterfly, and Chu Yunli.


    '' Lin Mei¡­ She is already in my grasp. So she is the safest among the four of them. ck Butterfly is obviously a great helper of mine.''


    '' Unfortunately, She suffers from some strange, chronic disease. I need to find a cure for it.''


    '' Feng Yunshi, she is a mysterious figure. Thest time I met her, there wasn''t anything particr in her future other than a promotion. Let''s see this time.''


    '' As for Chu Yunli¡­She is the one in the most dangerous situation. If I don''t do anything, she will lose everything, going down the viiness route. And two future heroines shall get destroyed by her hands.''


    Chu Yunli was Su Xing''er''s friend who was with her when the thugs went to kidnap her.


    Jia Hao knew her plot very well and he couldn''t bear to see such a flower wither and turn into venomous thorns.


    '' I already possess a considerable amount of money. All I need to do is to utilize it properly. After all, Earning money is the least difficult thing for me in Tianshu Nation.''


    '' I possess all the knowledge of present, past, and future in this world. I know all the secrets and information. As long as I wish, I can simply do anything.''


    '' But for now, Let''s capture Su Family first.''


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah, Su Yunqi, what exactly are you thinking?" Su Yunqi sighed as she washed the final te.


    '' You took Jia Hao as your own son after his parents died. You promised her mother to take care of him. Yet now¡­You are thinking of him more than as your son.''


    When she arrived home from the office, thoughts regarding Jia Haopletely dominated her mind, making her restless. Now, after dinner, she felt she was getting overwhelmed by such thoughts.


    One part of her heart treated Jia Hao as an obedient son, who loved her dearly. However, the other part of her heart remembered those steamy and awkward moments with Jia Hao.


    For example, when she stripped naked before him or when she jerked him off at the party. Those scenes danced before Su Yunqi''s eyes, making her body turn warm.


    The maternal affection and passionate desire made her feel like she was going crazy.


    '' Yes, I promised to take care of him. But, Do I need to take care of him as a son? As a child? Can''t I¡­No! What am I thinking?!''


    '' I need to calm down¡­Perhaps a shower shall do.''


    Su Yunqi bit her lips as she walked upstairs. But then, she saw Jia Hao''s door was slightly opened, with faint soundsing from the room.


    With curiosity, she walked inside, wondering what Jia Hao was doing.


    The room was dark, with the only thing giving off light was theputer screen.


    The sound of meat pping with each other along with the scene, could easily make anyone''s blood boil with sensuality and lust.


    '' Jia Hao¡­Why is he watching porn?'' Su Yunqi was baffled, wondering what sort of reaction should she give.


    '' En, for boys of his age, It''s perfectly fine to masturbate. Otherwise, suppressing the desires too much might have some adverse effect.''


    '' But¡­What is he watching?''


    Her eyes turned wide when she saw the contents on the screen. She could see a maturedy moaning loudly, as she was lying naked before a man.


    The man looked younger than her age, pinning her under his body.


    Their lower bodies were connected as the young man moved his hips vigorously. Changing various positions, the young man kept pounding that woman''s body.


    Su Yunqi gulped when she saw Jia Hao''srge appendage, erect straight as a pir. He was stroking it vigorously, matching the pace in the video.


    " Haah! Haah! Aunt Su¡­Harder! Stroke me harder!"


    Su Yunqi gasped when she heard Jia Hao''s moans, making her rooted on her spot


    '' He¡­Hao''er is masturbating while thinking of me? I¡­Wh-What should I do?'' Su Yunqi panicked as she felt like her brain shutting for a moment.


    Not to mention, a strange heat pooled between her legs, making her unable to think straight.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao closed the video as he grumbled, seeming to be disappointed and pained.


    " Why¡­I can''t even¡­Fap properly. I¡­should I steal her undergarment? N-No, I can''t do that¡­"


    " But it''s hurting¡­what should I do?"

 Chapter 100: Confession of Sin

    Jia Hao smirked inwardly as he could feel the presence of SuYunqi. However, he continued his acting, as a pain, frustrated youngster after an unsessful wank.


    With a sigh, he got up, took a bottle, and drank a mouthful of water.


    " En¡­I wonder what Aunt Su is doing? Has she slept already? She looked very tired today¡­"


    Su Yunqi''s steps faltered as she took a few steps back, rushing back to her room. She closed the room door as she sat on the bed.


    Myriads of thoughts swirled in her heart as she felt getting overwhelmed by them.


    '' I¡­To think Jia Hao¡­has such thoughts about me. Wh-What should I feel? Should I be¡­worried? Disgusted? Happy?''


    Unknowingly, her fingers already slipped between her legs, feeling the dampened patch of her panties.


    When her fingertips touched that ce, she felt like her entire body shivered with a strange pleasure, which her body had been denied for years.


    '' Why? Why do I¡­like touching here¡­more.''


    Slowly, the pressure of fingertips increased as she rubbed down there more and more. But then, a soft knock on the door made her startled.


    " Au-Aunt Su, Have you fallen asleep?"


    " Hao''er? Come¡­"


    Su Yunqi''s body froze as she was unable to determine what to do. However, she already replied to Jia Hao, so all she could do was to navigate the situation forward.


    The door slowly opened as Jia Hao entered. He paused his steps when he saw Su Yunqi on her bed.


    The nightgown was pretty soft and short, revealing an ample amount of her supple white thighs. The fabric of the nightgown showed the perfect contour of her curves, making her figure alluring in the dimmplight.


    " Wh-What happened, Hao''er? Do you¡­need something from me?" Su Yunqi tried to remain calm.


    " I¡­ I actually forgot to give you something."


    Jia Hao took out a bracelet and gave it to Su Yunqi. It was a golden bracelet, with a red crystal in the middle. The golden bracelet gave a light violet sheen, with the crystal making it look even more expensive.


    " This¡­What sort of gold this is? This looks like¡­"


    " It is Treasured Gold, Aunt Su. It''s pretty rare, isn''t it?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " Treasured Gold? I only heard of the rumors. But I have never seen it." Su Yunqi held the bracelet, feeling a light warmth on her hands.


    The Treasured Gold is a rare type of gold that is extremely valuable, even more than pure green jade. And the red crystal in the middle, Su Yunqi had seen it quite a few times before. It''s one of the rare Blood Ruby.


    " This¡­This is too precious, Jia Hao. I just can''t¡­"


    Jia Hao held the bracelet and put it on Su Yunqi''s arm. " Well, Aunt Su, It does look very pretty on you, No?"


    " Besides, It was truly fate for me to find such a treasure. So, Aunt Su, Please don''t reject my gift."


    Jia Hao still had a lot of gold coins from the Yun Continent. Therefore, he used a few and crafted a bracelet for Su Yunqi as a gift. And now, he found the right time to give it to her.


    " This¡­Thank you, Jia Hao. Haah¡­It''s been a while since I got a gift like this." Su Yunqi mumbled, caressing the bracelet affectionately.


    But then, she suddenly whimpered, her face turning a bit pained. " Ouch, My back¡­"


    " Aunt Su, How many times have I told you to not overwork?" Jia Hao chided, getting up from the bed. " Aunt Su, Let me apply some balm and massage your shoulders."


    " Hao''er¡­I don''t think¡­"


    " Aunt Su, Rx. I am very good at massage."


    Su Yunqi wanted to stop Jia Hao. But strange enough, she didn''t. " Just¡­Just a little bit shall be alright."


    Saying that, she turned around, giving Jia Hao ess to her back. Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he nodded.


    " Nnngh~ Goodness¡­This feels so¡­good."


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but let out a soft moan. Jia Hao''s hands were firm and robust, applying the right amount of strength in the right ces.


    He utilized his internal qi and slowly covered his palm with it, gently injecting it into Su Yunqi''s body to nourish her flesh and rx it. And, he also used the desire qi of pleasure and joy to heighten her sensitivity.


    " Ahnn!~ This¡­Why is this so¡­Ungh!~"


    " Aunt Su, Are you alright?? Jia Hao asked with a fake concern. " Should I stop?"


    " Ah¡­No, Don''t stop, Hao''er¡­I¡­Please¡­continue."


    Su Yunqi paused in the middle. But the pleasure and rxation she felt from Jia Hao''s palm were simply addictive.


    '' Ugh, I was really tired after handling all the work in the office today. Jia Hao''s hands¡­They are truly magical¡­''


    '' Besides¡­I¡­It''s not like we had such¡­intimate contact for the first time.''


    " Aunt Su, Can you turn around andy on the bed? I shall rub your hands and feet." Jia Hao smiled.


    " But Hao''er¡­It''s alreadyte¡­You don''t need to do such things."


    Su Yunqi turned around and looked at Jia Hao. However, unable to resist her gaze, shey on the bed, waiting for Jia Hao''s massage.


    " Nngh! Yes! It feels just right! Ahaha¡­Hao''er¡­Why are you tickling my toes!"


    " Well, It won''t be fun if I just massage the body, right?" Jia Hao rubbed her feet as he chortled. " Lightening up your mood is also required."


    " Oh god! Ahaha! Hao''er¡­Stop!~"


    Su Yunqi tried to suppress it, but herughter still came out. Rubbing her eyes, she felt a rare rxation in her body and spirit.


    " Actually¡­Aunt Su¡­I want to confess something." Jia Hao''s tone was deep and apologetic, making Su Yunqi startled.


    " What is it, Hao''er?" She spoke in a soothing voice. " You can tell me anything."


    " I¡­ I am sorry, Aunt Su. I¡­I don''t know how to say it¡­But I am just overwhelmed with such thoughts."


    Su Yunqi hurriedly got up, looking at Jia Hao worriedly. Jia Hao covered his face, but tear droplets still rushed down her cheeks.


    " I¡­I tried to masturbate while thinking about you, Aunt Su."


    " Hao''er¡­"

 Chapter 101: Aunt Su Helping Once Again (Mild R-18)

    Su Yunqi was dumbfounded, unable to believe that Jia Hao actually admitted it.


    " Aunt Su, I know you might be angry or disgusted. However, I need to get this off my chest." Jia Hao''s face drooped lower as he continued.


    " Aunt Su¡­Do you remember when I got drugged at that party? I¡­After that day, I felt like¡­I was unable to masturbate properly."


    " I was afraid¡­Thinking that there is something¡­wrong with me. And¡­then, one morning, I felt my pants very sticky."


    " It was because¡­I saw¡­Aunt Su in my dreams that night." Jia Hao hesitated before continuing.


    " And¡­I was so aroused, I never felt such feelings before. I was so happy, me and Aunt Su¡­Haah, It was more erotic and pleasurable than any porn video I''ve ever seen."


    " I realized it was nightfall. Panicked, I just didn''t know what to do. And from that day¡­I tried to masturbate while thinking about you, Aunt Su."


    " Tonight¡­I also tried to do it¡­but I just couldn''t. I¡­I felt so gross¡­"


    " Hao''er¡­ I¡­ What should I say?"


    Su Yunqi sighed, wondering how should she reply. However, She was determined to not let Jia Hao''s mood downcast.


    " Hao''er, You must calm down first. What you did¡­It wasn''t weird or gross." Su Yunqi spoke in a soothed voice, trying to calm the agitated Jia Hao.


    " I guess it shows that you are growing, Hao''er. Teenage hormones can be pretty confusing. However, You must not take them to your heart."


    " No¡­Aunt Su, I can''t stand before you. I¡­ I think I should leave."


    Jia Hao sniffed as he wiped his tears, turning around to leave. " I can''t bear to show my pathetic face to you¡­"


    " Hao''er! Don''t!"


    Su Yunqi was rmed, afraid of Jia Hao taking some wrong steps. She got up, holding Jia Hao''s hands to stop him.


    " Aunt Su¡­ Please, Let me go¡­"


    " Hao''er! Snap out, You did nothing wrong!" Su Yunqi shouted. However, Jia Hao still faced her with his back, not letting her see his face.


    " Hao''er¡­Turn around. Are you¡­hiding something?"


    " No, I can''t Aunt Su¡­It will be¡­awkward."


    " Hao''er¡­I trusted you every time you asked me to do something. Whether it was the Jade Auction or the party at Lin Family, I always trusted your words."


    " Yet now, You can''t trust your Aunt Su? Do you really feel I will cast you aside?"


    Su Yunqi spoke with maternal strictness, hugging Jia Hao from behind. She could feel Jia Hao''s quivering body, probably from shame and hate.


    " It''s alright¡­Calm down and look at me." She cooed, gently caressing Jia Hao''s head and making his turn around.


    " Aunt Su¡­I¡­"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he turned around, facing Su Yunqi with his head lowered. Su Yunqi gasped as her cheeks turned red. She finally realized why Jia Hao wasn''t facing her.


    " It has been¡­Like this since I came here¡­Aunt Su." Jia Hao tried to hide therge tent in his pants as he spoke in an apologetic voice.


    " However, It''s aching so much. I feel like a hot iron rod is attached there. Not to mention¡­rubbing against my pants, It just¡­making things worse."


    " And my balls¡­It feels like it''s twisting and pulling from inside. I¡­I just can''t stand it."


    '' Is this because he was unable to ejacte earlier? This¡­This isn''t a good sign!'' Su Yunqi panicked when she thought about it.


    '' No! Jia Hao''s coc¡­I mean¡­Manhood is very important. Being erect and unable to ejacte, what if it leaves any hidden injuries there? Blue balling isn''t any good¡­''


    '' I¡­I guess I have to take the matter into my own hands.''


    Su Yunqi took a deep breath as she looked at Jia Hao. She caressed his hair as she spoke in a soft voice.


    " Hao''er¡­ Take off your pants."


    " Wh-What?"


    Jia Hao was surprised, looking at Su Yunqi with a baffled expression. " Aunt Su¡­You don''t have to do this¡­"


    " Why shouldn''t I, Hao''er?" Su Yunqi smiled lightly. " It''s not like I haven''t relieved your urges before, Hao''er."


    " B-But it was different! I was drugged back then." Jia Hao tried to back away. " But this¡­It feels like I am¡­taking advantage of you, Aunt Su."


    " It''s alright, Jia Hao¡­You must not hold back your urges. Else, It might cause some damage to your¡­penis."


    " Haah¡­I am¡­I am really sorry, Aunt Su. I am not¡­a good son at all."


    Jia Hao panted as he slowly pulled down his pants, revealing his erect cock. Su Yunqi gasped when she saw the magnificent manhood of Jia Hao, perfectly sized and shaped as a sculpture.


    '' No¡­This is¡­strange. It is¡­bigger than thest time I saw it. Is it possible for someone''s grow that thing?''


    Su Yunqi gulped a mouthful of saliva as she slowly stretched her hands to touch it. As her fingers wrapped around Jia Hao''s shaft, she could feel the burning fleshly staff, throbbing with eager anticipation.


    '' This¡­This is such a¡­beautiful and masculine¡­cock.''


    Su Yunqi could feel the desires suppressed in her erupting like a volcano. Looking at Jia Hao, she slowly smiled.


    Both of them sat on the bed as Su Yunqi started to stroke Jia Hao''s cock slowly and steadily.


    " Aunt Su¡­ I am so sorry¡­But this feels¡­Ungh¡­So good."


    " No need to apologize, Hao''er. It wasn''t your fault¡­" Su Yunqi bit her lips as she began to stroke faster and faster.


    " Aunt Su¡­ You must be¡­very lonely after Uncle left, right? Jia Hao panted lightly as he looked at Aunt Su.


    Su Yunqi paused when she heard Jia Hao''s question. Jia Hao looked at Aunt Su as he sighed.


    " I thought¡­After getting adopted by Aunt Su¡­I shall be the man¡­a pir who would support Su Family. Being a wall which would protect you, Xing''er, and Big Sis Lan."


    " Yet¡­ To think I thought I could¡­rece Uncle¡­Hah, What a foolish and ungrateful bastard I am."


    " Hao''er¡­Don''t think of such things now." Su Yunqi pressed her finger on Jia Hao''s lips, making him silent.


    " Now, Just rx and enjoy¡­Don''t stress too much and simply¡­release your pent up desires."


    Jia Hao panted more and more as Su Yunqi''s stroking became faster and faster.


    " Ahnn!~ Aunt Su¡­I am¡­I am cumming!"


    Su Yunqi could see a copious amount of white fluid shoot out from Jia Hao''s rod, like white threads, that slowly covered her hands like a thick, warm lotion. The ejaction continued for quite some seconds till it subsided.


    " Wow¡­You are sure¡­young and vigorous, Hao''er." Su Yunqi was astounded to see the quality and quantity of Jia Hao''s essence.


    " Aunt Su¡­Please forgive me."


    " Huh?"


    Su Yunqi''s eyes turned wide as Jia Hao hugged him suddenly, pressing his lips on her.


    Su Yunqi''s mind buzzed, unable to understand what just happened. But the feeling¡­it was so sweet and addictive, she just couldn''t deny Jia Hao.


    After a quick kiss, Jia Hao pulled up his pants and rushed out of Su Yunqi''s room.


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Yunqi wanted to stop him¡­but she couldn''t Looking at her stained hand, She fell into deep thoughts.

 Chapter 102: Su Yunqis Wet Dream

    " Nnngh¡­Hao''er¡­don''t."


    " But Aunt Su¡­You are feeling good, right? You are moaning in pleasure. But I guess¡­I shouldn''t use my fingers anymore...Because I have something better and harder."


    " Uhn?"


    Su Yunqi gasped as she could see Jia Hao''s naked form towering over him. His body was rippling with youth and vitality. His muscles and abs were brimming with strength, and that magnificent cock was like a divine armament, eagerly throbbing to awaken her slumbering womanhood.


    Her eyes became hazy, as Su Yunqi felt the figure of Jia Hao was strikingly simr to his husband when he was young.


    " Mnn¡­Dear, You tormented me quite a lot¡­Why¡­Why did you leave me?"


    " I havee back, haven''t I?"


    A voice echoed in her ears. She was unable to tell if it was Jia Hao''s voice or herte husband''s. Yet¡­It was something which she couldn''t deny.


    Slowly, she could feel her breasts getting fondled, then her ass was being caressed. Su Yunqi could feel passionate kiss while Jia Hao explored every inch of her body with his agile hands.


    " Haah! Aunt Su¡­I can''t¡­I can''t hold it anymore."


    " Ahnn! Jia Hao¡­Don''t¡­I am like your¡­mother."


    However, such words only heightened the pleasure in Su Yunqi as she parted her legs, showing her dripping folds to Jia Hao''s zing eyes.


    Slowly, she could feel Jia Hao''s rod inching closer and closer, making her heartbeat increase. Suddenly, Jia Hao held her waist as he pressed forward.


    And their body became one.


    " HAAHHH!~"


    Su Yunqi''s eyes snapped out as she got up from her bed, gasping for air. She looked around, seeing it was around 5 AM in the morning.


    Looking around, she hurriedly grabbed the water bottle and gulped down the water. She felt like she had dried out, absorbing the water like a sponge.


    '' Wh-What was that dream? How¡­How can I¡­dream of such things?''


    However, lowering her head, Su Yunqi saw her panties werepletely soaked. She turned around and even saw some stain marks on the bedsheets, making her blush profusely.


    '' I¡­ I actually had a wet dream again. And¡­It was¡­Jia Hao.'' She bit her lips, unable to calm down the raging emotions in her heart.


    The looks, the voice, and the touch of Jia Hao were like fire, igniting the slumbering desire in her like fire lights up oil.


    Without dying, Su Yunqi changed her undergarments and the bed sheets. However, the vivid scene of her jerking off Jia Haost night still remained in her heart.


    '' That size¡­that amount of fluid¡­what if it goes inside me¡­No! Yunqi! He is like your son!''


    '' No-No! I must talk to Hao''er andpletely dispel any doubt he has for me.''


    After half an hour of struggle, Su Yunqi got up and washed her face. As it was early morning, she got down to prepare for breakfast.


    *YAWN*


    " Mmm, Good morning, Mom."


    " Morning, Lan''er." Su Yunqi smiled. " Not bad, you got up early today."


    " Eh? Probably because I went to sleep earlyst night." Su Lan yawned. " But Mom, Were you arguing with someone?"


    " Hu-Huh? No?" Su Yunqi trembled, but she replied with calmness.


    " Strange. I felt like I heard some voicesing from your room." Su Lan frowned a bit.


    " You must be hearing things, Lan." Su Yunqi chuckled. " But, where are Xing''er and Hao''er?"


    " Ah, Them? They just went out for exercise." Su Lan answered. " They just left a minute ago."


    " Is that so?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hey, Why are you grinning so much?" Su Xing''er''s eyes narrowed as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Why? Can''t I even grin peacefully?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    " It''s not like that. However, I just feel you are thinking no good when you grin like that." Su Xing''er shrugged.


    " What a perceptive step sister I have."


    " Hmph, I am not your step sister." Su Xing''er snorted lightly. Hearing her, Jia Hao couldn''t help but snicker.


    " Well then, Does that mean I can try to woo you?"


    " Wh-What? What do you mean by that?"


    Su Xing''er''s face turned red when she heard that. She couldn''t help but stammer, ring at Jia Hao.


    " Hehe, I am just giving you some possibilities." Jia Hao flicked his hair. " A charming and handsome young man like me, what if you fall for me?"


    " Hmph, As if. You are getting more and more narcissistic as each day passes." Su Xing''er snorted when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    However, a small seed of doubt still lingered in her heart, making her a bit restless.


    " Actually, I wanted to ask you about Li Tao." Su Xing''er bit her lips as she looked at Jia Hao. " He disappeared, right? What if hees back, seeking revenge against mom?"


    " He won''t." Jia Hao gave a smug grin. " He went to a ce where he can''t return."


    " How can you be so sure?" Su Xing''er asked in a suspicious voice.


    " Because I sent him there."


    Su Xing''er sighed in relief for a moment before the realization dawned in her mind. " Yo-You¡­You couldn''t possibly¡­"


    " Haha, What are you thinking?"


    " Ouch!"


    Su Xing''er winced as Jia Hao pinched her cheek. With a chuckle, he shook his head. " Are you thinking I killed him? How is that possible?"


    " What I wanted to say is¡­I gave him to the people who know how to handle him. That''s all."


    " I see¡­ Then, I guess we don''t need to worry about it." Su Xing''er smiled. " I can''t wait for Mom to expand the Blue Crystal Company and reach the top in the business world."


    As they talked with each other, they soon reached Southern Edge Dojo.


    " Xing''er, You must learn the new Eight Trigram Palms with Jiang Ruoyou. Because It wille in handy in the tournament."


    " I know, Jia Hao."


    As both of them entered, Jia Hao went straight to the gym while Su Xing''er went to Jiang Ruoyou to practice martial arts.


    To be honest, Jia Hao didn''t want toe here any longer. Because the gym equipment is like children''s toys for his enhanced physique. So, even if he exercised a thousand times with them, the effect would be minuscule.


    '' Well, I guess I should just pass some time here. After all, I aming here only for Jiang Ruoyou.''


    Jia Hao grinned inwardly, thinking of teasing Jiang Ruoyou again in the shower.

 Chapter 103: Brother, Your Girl is a Bitch

    '' Last night, I already nted the desires in Su Yunqi''s heart. Hehe, I wonder if I should go into the entertainment industry. I believe I can make some big money thanks to my knowledge and experience in past life.''


    For a moment, Jia Hao wondered if his deeds were wrong. However, he quickly shook his head.


    '' It wasn''t like I hypnotized Aunt Su and made her submit to me.'' Jia Hao shrugged. '' All I did was amplify her emotions and bring out her pent-up desires to the surface.''


    '' Keke, She was a lonely widow after her husband passed away. Since I am a righteous individual, should I not give her warmth in bed and heart?''


    Jia Hao was thinking of all these things. But then, he suddenly paused as he looked around, seeing men looking at him with wide eyes.


    " Um¡­Younger Brother, You got quite some strength."


    " Holy shit, How could you lift that so casually?"


    Jia Hao looked down and saw he was holding the 50KG barbell in one hand, swinging it freely.


    '' Ah, I guess I was thinking of it as a dumbbell and lifting it with a single hand since I was distracted.''


    To calm down the crowd, he gave a hollowugh. " Ahaha, Not really. I¡­I just used some technique and all my strength to lift it with one hand."


    " Ugh, Now my arm is aching a bit."


    With a sigh, he ced the barbell on the floor as he swung his arm as if he trying to relieve his fatigue.


    " Well, I guess I need some rest." Jia Hao waved his hands. " Brothers, Don''t get distracted! Let''s continue."


    " Yes!"


    " Heh! Since you can do it, Why can''t I?"


    " That''s the spirit!"


    Jia Hao wiped his sweat as he saw everyone getting fired up and returning back to exercise.


    '' I have to admit. Using a bit of desire qi in my speech really makes things convenient. Using the voice to slowly manipte the heart of the listener, how devious.''


    In terms of real world practical value, Jia Hao felt the Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Art is much greater than the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art.


    In fact, if used properly, one could hypnotize anyone, making it one of the eroge protagonist''s weapons.


    '' Nope! What fun it would be to just hypnotize anyone?'' Jia Hao snorted inwardly.


    '' A man should conquer the heart of a beauty with his own skill!''


    As he left, the men exercising around him stopped as they approached the barbell.


    " Well, It''s not¡­Fake, right?"


    " Damn, I really wanted to try it. What if there is some trick in it?"


    There are still quite a few who didn''t believe in Jia Hao''s strength. After all, How can a high schooler possess such astronomical strength?


    One of the men bent down as he clenched the handle of the barbell.


    " Hmph!!"


    With a humph, he tried to lift it.


    " Haha! Look! Even I lifted it!"


    " ..... "


    " ... "


    " What? Why aren''t you praising me?" The man looked around with confusion.


    " Are you being for real?"


    " Anyone can lift it with both hands!"


    The man was startled as he realized that out of habit, he lifted the barbell with both of his hands.


    " Ehehe¡­I am sorry."


    He let go of one hand. But in that instant, his expression changed as the barbell slipped from his hands.


    " Careful!"


    " Damn it!"


    *CLANG!*


    Everyone backed away a step as they heard the barbell hitting the floor with a bang.


    " Ouch, I can''t lift it using one arm. Even with both, it needs all my focus and strength."


    " Damn it! Let me try!"


    However, to their surprise, none of them could lift it, let alone using it like Jia Hao.


    " Damn it, Is that brat still a human?"


    " How can he possess such strength at such age?"


    " Could it be¡­He belongs to some martial arts family?"


    " Even so, How can he possess such monstrous strength?"


    When Jia Hao returned, he couldn''t help but be stunned. He could feel everyone''s gaze of respect, admiration, and a bit of envy.


    " Well, Don''t worry, Brothers. As long as you put effort, you can even reach the sky."


    " Haha, Little brother is right!"


    " A young man like him can do it, what is stopping you?"


    " Let''s go back!"


    Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction when he saw that. Looking at everyone with Sage''s Divine Eyes, he suddenly paused.


    " Erm, Aren''t you brother Cao Ze?"


    " Eh? Little Brother, You know me?" Cao Ze replied.


    " Well, I heard someone calling you." Jia Hao smiled. " Brother Cao, I wanted to ask you something. Why do youe here?"


    " Why do Ie to the gym?" Cao Ze was surprised. " Well, I guess my girlfriend likes buffed-up guys? I am trying to gain some strength and muscles to show off before her."


    " She also goes to the gym and encourages me to go too."


    " Then why do youe here? Why didn''t you go to the same gym as her?" Jia Hao asked in confusion.


    " Uhh¡­Because she goes to the female only gym?" Cao Ze scratched his head.


    " I wonder if there are any males in that¡­female only gym?" Jia Hao lowered his voice, making Cao Ze startled.


    Cao Ze narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong with Jia Hao''s words." Well, There is a male coach but¡­why little brother is asking this?"


    " Brother Cao, I can do divination a bit." Jia Hao lowered his voice. " You might be offended but¡­I can see your love life is crumbling."


    " Wh-What do you mean?" Cao Ze was rmed.


    "Your girlfriend is a green tea bitch, who is cheating on you with her coach. Not to mention, she is also trying to leech money from you."


    " Wh-What?! Impossible!"


    Cao Ze took a step back as he shouted. " How can you talk about her like that?!"


    " Brother Cao, Lower your voice." Jia Hao chuckled as he waved his hands. " I told you what I saw in your fate. Think about my words carefully and check yourself."


    Cao Ze was stunned when he heard Jia Hao''s nonchnt voice. With mixed emotions, he took his phone and dialed someone.


    " Honey, Where are you?"


    " Uh, Me? I went to the gym. Wh-Why?"


    " Oh, Nothing, just missing you." Cao Ze smiled as he ended the call. After that, he called someone else.


    " Shimei? No, she didn''te today. And Coach Yang is absent because today isn''t his ss."


    " Haha¡­I see¡­I see."

 Chapter 104: You Are A Siscon!

    Jia Hao opened a bottle and drank some energy drink. Looking at the colorful reaction of Cao Ze, Jia Hao couldn''t help but smirk.


    '' I was using my ability for fun. But who would have thought that I would meet someone like Cao Ze?''


    When he recalled his Rec Future Point, Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle.


    [ Rec Future Point: Two weekster, Cao Ze''s girlfriend and her gym coach are going to ckmail and beat up Cao Ze, stealing five million yuan before escaping to another ce]


    '' Tsk, you are training here for your girlfriend, but she is getting stretched out by someone else.'' Jia Hao snorted in his heart.


    '' This Cao Ze obviously belongs to a good family. Unfortunately, he doesn''t have eyes to see through a person.''


    '' Consider this as a gift from a fellow little brother.''


    Cao Ze sat with a vacant expression for a moment as he took some deep breaths. After that, he turned around and walked towards Jia Hao.


    " Little brother, May I know your name?"


    " Jia Hao, It''s Jia Hao."


    " Little Brother Hao, Firstly, I apologize because I shouted earlier. I¡­I was just too flustered."


    " It happens, Brother Cao. However, The thing is¡­In front of misfortune, you must not break down and give up. You must stand up and face it."


    '' Do what you feel is right. However, rather than acting on impulse, n out with a cold and cunning mind." Jia Hao patted Cao Ze, who was sniffling.


    " Brother Hao is wise. I shall do as you said." He bowed lightly as heughed out.


    " Since Brother Hao helped me today, I shall always be in your debt. I shall give you a nice surprise when we meet next time. I have to go now."


    " Haha, Goodbye, Brother Cao."


    Jia Hao waved his hands. He couldn''t help but wonder if he would gain any virtuous energy. After all, He saved a man from his poisonous partner''s scheme.


    '' Perhaps, I have to wait till Cao Ze does something. With his background, I am sure it wouldn''t take long for him to confirm the truth and take action.''


    After half an hour, Jia Hao was excited as he walked to the private chamber of Jiang Ruoyou for another shower session.


    But then, Jia Hao was stunned when he saw someone who shouldn''t be there.


    It wasn''t Jiang Ruoyou, but Su Xing''er in her undergarment. It was the sports bra and panties Jia Hao selected for her.


    Su Xing''er was petrified when she saw Jia Hao, looking at her without blinking.


    " AHHHH! PERVERT! ROGUE!"


    " Wh-What are you doing here?! Where is Jiang Ruoyou!?"


    " Get the fuck out here!"


    After a few moments, Su Xing''er walked out as she red at Jia Hao. " We finished our session earlier. But, Sister Jiang left early for some work. But she gave me the key to her longue so I came here to shower."


    " This¡­"


    Jia Hao cursed in his heart, realizing Jiang Ruoyou yed him. '' Hmph, She must have known that I wille here again. So, she left early.


    " But what the hell are you doing here? This is Sister Jiang''s longue. Ho-How can you be here?" Su Xing''er shouted. But Jia Hao could only sigh, without giving any straight answer.


    " Why don''t you think, Xing''er? I won''t lie to you."


    Su Xing''er''s eyes turned wide as she looked at Jia Hao for some moment in silence.


    " You couldn''t be¡­ You and Sister Jiang¡­"


    Suddenly, her eyes turned teary as she looked away. " Shameless!"


    " Wa-Wait, Xing''er." Jia Hao hurriedly spoke. " I am telling the truth. I didn''t do sex with Jiang Ruoyou."


    " Wh-What the hell are you saying? I didn''t ask that!"


    Su Xing''er raged as she looked at Jia Hao. But she couldn''t help but feel a bit relieved in her heart.


    " Xing''er, You think I am lying?" Jia Hao''s lips curled. " You know me. I do everything, but I never lie."


    Of course, Jia Hao didn''t lie. He didn''t fuck Jiang Ruoyou¡­Not at least yet.


    " Then what the hell are you doing here? You and Sister Jiang¡­You guys must have something between, no?"


    " You can say that." Jia Hao leaned against the wall as he started his narration.


    " Sister Jiang almost got raped by an individual. Not to mention, This entire dojo was under mortgage. I lent her ten million yuan and saved her life."


    " In return¡­Let''s say, she became my friend with benefits."


    " Wh-What?" Su Xing''er was dumbfounded. " How can you do that?"


    " What? So, You are saying, I shouldn''t have saved her?" Jia Hao retorted. " Besides, I didn''t ask her anything in return. It was her who wanted to repay me."


    " And since she had no money, guess how she could have repaid me?"


    " But¡­This feels so¡­hical."


    " hical, You say?" Jia Hao snorted. " Xing''er, I didn''t want to tell you, but have you ever thought what would have happened if you got kidnapped?"


    " You have me and Su Family as a protective barrier. But what about others?"


    " Not to mention, no one helps free in this world, Xing''er. Sister Jiang and I are just bound in a beneficial transaction, Is there anything wrong with it?"


    Su Xing''er bit her lips when she heard Jia Hao''s reasoning. " So¡­Are you saying, You and Sister Jiang aren''t¡­lovers?"


    " No¡­Not yet."


    " What do you mean by not yet?"


    Suddenly, Su Xing''er''s breath hitched when she saw Jia Hao appearing right before him. She was surprised to see Jia Hao''s ability.


    Swiftly, Jia Hao held her waist as their face came close. With a yful attitude, he pushed a lock of wet hair from Su Xing''er''s face.


    " My, I guess my little step sister is very jealous of my rtionships, hm? First, It was Lin Mei, and now it''s Jiang Ruoyou."


    " Why can''t you see me with other women, hm?"


    " Yo-You! Let me go!"


    Su Xing''er''s cheeks turned red when she heard Jia Hao''s words. However, she didn''t feel any difort from Jia Hao''s grasp.


    With a smile, Jia Hao let her go, making Su Xing''er adjust her clothes.


    " So, May I hear the reason of your jealousy, Miss Su Xing''er?"


    " No, I won''t tell you." Su Xing''er snorted lightly as she turned around.


    The reason for such an answer was because a part of her actually didn''t know the answer. And, another part simply wanted to vex Jia Hao.


    " Well, Moving to another topic, Is itfortable?"


    " Huh? What are you talking about?"


    " Hehe¡­My choice is pretty good, isn''t it?"


    Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao with a confused expression for some moments before realizing Jia Hao was talking about her undergarments.


    " You-You!"


    " Yes, What about me?" Jia Hao crossed his arms. " I am handsome, rich, genius, pervert, shameless, rogue¡­Anything else you want to add?"


    Su Xing''er was speechless when she saw the bold disy of Jia Hao''s shamelessness. She couldn''t help but wonder how could a person''s skin could be this thick.


    " Yo-You! You are a Siscon!"


    Su Xing''er finally spoke.

 Chapter 105: New Beauty Teacher In Class

    Jia Hao was dumbfounded for a moment before a coy smile appeared on his face.


    " Well¡­What should I say¡­"


    " H-Huh? You¡­You aren''t denying?"


    " Ah, Yes¡­I am denying it." Jia Hao spoke with utmost false sincerity.


    " So, Answer me, Xing''er. You do look pretty sexy in that undergarment. So, do you admit my choice is good?"


    " It''s¡­It''s passable. Hmph, Do you have no shame? Talking to your younger step sister¡­regarding her undergarments?"


    Su Xing''er snorted. She felt like Jia Hao could see through her clothes and gaze at her nude body.


    " Nope." Jia Hao replied calmly.


    " Anyway, It''s already time. We should go back, otherwise, you are going to bete for school." Saying that Jia Hao turned and left.


    Even after Jia Hao left, Su Xing''er remained rooted in her spot. Thinking about her question to Jia Hao regarding being a siscon¡­


    '' This¡­He didn''t deny¡­He didn''t¡­''


    '' He couldn''t be¡­''


    Her entire face turned red like an apple, making her look very adorable. She rubbed her cheeks, trying to regain her calmness. But she simply can''t.


    With a sigh, she took a deep breath and wiped her hair before following Jia Hao.


    Unfortunately, there was none to witness such beauty.


    Returning home, Jia Hao purposely avoided Su Yunqi, making her thoughts even more tangled.


    After that, All three of them left for the school.


    Currently, Jia Hao could be considered a celebrity in his ss. However, other than Lin Mei and other few, he didn''t talk with anyone else.


    " Attention! ssmates."


    The ss president Lao Ran looked at everyone as he spoke with enthusiasm. " Today, A new teacher is going join us and change our previous mathematics teacher."


    " Whoa? That old man is finally gone?"


    " Haha! I guess I won''t be sleeping in math ss anymore."


    " Hmph, Are you guys are a fool?" Someone snorted. " Only the teacher has changed. The subject is still here."


    " The teacher is a beauty¡­" Lao Ran coughed. " Nine points out of ten."


    " WOOOOOOO!"


    " WOOOOOOO!"


    " What a good day!"


    " Alright, I am excited!" The same person who snorted earlier, now shouting with enthusiasm.


    " Heh, No wonder this is the worst ss." Lin Mei snorted. " Just hearing it''s a female teacher, everyone is behaving like monkeys."


    " Well, Are you jealous?" Jia Hao looked at her.


    " Why should I?"


    Suddenly, a beautiful woman wearing a ck and blue coat entered the ss. Everyone became silent as they stared at her without blinking.


    " Hello, Everyone. My name is Qin Bingyu. From today, I shall teach you mathematics. But, I might also take some extra chemistry ss."


    " Whoa? Teacher Qin, You are so beautiful!"


    " Teacher, Are you single or married?"


    " Teacher Qin, What color¡­"


    " Silence!"


    Suddenly, Qin Bingyu''s thunderous shout made everyone silent. Although she was quite a beauty, her cold gaze could naturally make someone submissive towards her.


    " I heard that this ss is the worst ss among the five sses. All of you here are troublemakers and idiots."


    " However, I don''t feel your potential is any less than the so-called top section. And with me here, I shall prove that despite your shorings, you can also do well in the University Examination!"


    " So, What do you want to do? Sit here with thebel of idiots? Or prove to everyone that you can do something in your life?"


    " Nope, I am good here."


    " Teacher Qin, You really give quite a good speech."


    " Haah¡­I guess I am going to sleep in Math ss once again."


    The backbenchers had no change as they hooted as usual. Qin Bingyu''s expression didn''t change as she looked at them.


    " Well, It''s true that I have given some useless speech. I expected it wouldn''t work on you guys."


    " Nevermind, I have better ways to pursue you." A cold smile cracked on her lips as she looked at them.


    " You, You and the one sitting there. Stand up."


    The ss became silent as they looked at the pointed students. They are none other than the notorious trio of the ss, making even the most veteran teacher rage.


    " Get outside the ss and stand while holding the water bucket."


    " Teacher Qin, We didn''t do anything."


    " Teacher, I didn''t¡­"


    " If you don''t go, you need to sign the ss suspension papers for two weeks. And, with such low attendance, you won''t be able to give tests." Qin Bingyu smiled. " So, Either get out the ss and hold the bucket, or sign on these papers."


    " Choice is yours."


    The faces of the three students became ugly when they heard that. Reluctantly, they walked outside and stood while lifting the bucket.


    The bucket handle was narrow, making it harder to keep it holding.


    " If water spills, you all going to wipe it clean after school." Qin Bingyu added.


    And as just he finished speaking, one student''s hand slipped as a ssh of water fell on the floor.


    " Damn it! What the fuck are you doing?"


    " The bucket is too heavy! I can''t keep it lifted!"


    " What the hell with this new teacher? She is ruthless!"


    Qin Bingyu returned her focus to the ss as she smiled. " Alright students, As I said, As long you study hard, I shall be your best mentor."


    " However, If I catch you disturbing the ss, no one would be worse than me."


    " Also, Another fun thing." Qing Bingyu pped her hands. " Those who can solve these five questions now can have a week long holiday from my sses. And, I shall give them all attendance."


    Saying that, she turned around, writing down the questions on the ckboard.


    Some students hurriedly took out their notebooks and tried to find the question there. But they couldn''t find the questions anywhere.


    " No need to try and find these questions in the textbooks, as I obviously picked them out of the textbooks." Qin Bingyu shrugged. " And, No mobile phone, please. I will seize it."


    Saying that,s he leisurely sat on the chair. However, not long after she heard a voice.


    " I have solved everything, Teacher Qin."


    " Huh?"


    Qin Bingyu saw a handsome young man standing up from the back benches.

 Chapter 106: Punishment And Rewards

    Qin Bingyu thought that she would simply pass the remaining time in a silent ss. However, she didn''t expect someone to finish answering all the questions she had given.


    " This student¡­"


    " My name is Jia Hao, Teacher Qin. Here, please check my answer." Jia Hao walked to her and passed the paper.


    " Hmm?"


    Qin Bingyu simply skimmed through the paper, looking at Jia Hao''s answers. She was surprised when she saw the detailed and correct answers to each question.


    '' So, This ss isn''tpletely hopeless after all?'' Qin Bingyu thought inwardly. However, she decided to test Jia Hao a bit more.


    " Student Jia Hao, I am impressed to see your efficiency and uracy of yours. All five answers are correct."


    " However, Since you can do this much, a little more won''t hurt, right?" Qin Bingyu smiled.


    " No, It won''t, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao smiled.


    What Qin Bingyu thought was normal. Although she forbade everyone to not use phones, there are quite some who are trying to cheat.


    Even if they don''t find the direct answers, the phone could be a vital help to solve these questions.


    She turned around and started to write another question on the board. Her plump buttocks were perfectly outlined by the tight pencil skirt, making everyone unfocus from their studies.


    '' Dat ass¡­''


    Even Jia Hao couldn''t help but stop his twitching hands from spanking it. However, with a deep breath, he calmed his thoughts.


    Qin Bingyu could feel Jia Hao''s gaze, making her snort lightly. " Student Jia, I believe you better focus on questions rather than unnecessary things."


    " I don''t believe what I am gazing at is unnecessary. It''s¡­work of art after all." Jia Hao gave a coy grin when he said that.


    " Hmph! Very well, Let''s see what else you can do other than gazing."


    Qin Bingyu sat down on her seat as she red at Jia Hao. She pointed at the question and huffed, " This is one of the hardest questions that came in the University Exam two years ago. I modified it a bit so that you can''t cheat."


    " So, Student Jia, Please try to solve this."


    " As you say, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao grinned as he took the chalk and started to write down the answer.


    After five minutes, Jia Hao ced the chalk back and crossed his arms. "Teacher Qin, Why don''t you check my answer?"


    " Huh?"


    Qin Bingyu was shocked when she saw Jia Hao finished writing down the answer. She followed Jia Hao''s process from beginning to end.


    '' He¡­ He actually get the correct answer? Not to mention, he skipped a few steps, making it shorter.''


    Qin Bingyu wasn''t among those teachers who clutched the textbook method and forced other students to write down those exact steps.


    As long as your answer is written and the steps aren''t entirely wrong, Qin Bingyu would give them full marks.


    And now, she was impressed by Jia Hao''s meticulousness.


    " Not bad, Student Jia. You got the right answer." Qin Bingyu spoke with a light smile. " However, If you are so capable, what are you doing in this ss?"


    " Well, Teacher Qin, I believe the upper sections are a bit oppressive. But, I don''t feel anything like that here." Jia Hao gave a wry smile as he scratched his head.


    " Not to mention, due to some faults, my name got shuffled and ced in this section."


    " What? How can the management do such a thing? Why didn''t youin?" Qin Bingyu was surprised.


    " It doesn''t matter now, Teacher Qin. I like this section better." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " I see. Student Jia, I can see that you are aware of your talent and potential. However, you must not get arrogant and conceited over it." Qin Bingyu took a deep breath as she spoke.


    " After all, the school tests are worth nothing. Only if you get good grades in the University Examination, you can achieve quite a lot on your life."


    " I understand, Teacher Qin. I shall heed your words." Jia Hao nodded.


    " But well, As I said earlier." Qin Bingyu smiled. " You are exempted from taking my ss for a week without getting full attendance."


    " Thank you, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao chuckled. " However, I don''t think I will miss your ss."


    " Oh? Why is that?" Qin Bingyu raised her eyebrows.


    " Hehe, You are so beautiful, Teacher Qin. Why would I miss a good mathematics ss which is being taught by a beauty?"


    The ss became silent when they heard Jia Hao.


    " Holy shit! Jia Hao actually said it!"


    " Jia Hao, ourrade!"


    " Good job, Comrade Jia. We shall remember your sacrifice."


    Everyone was waiting for Qin Bingyu tosh out. But she only thought for a moment before sighing.


    " Is beauty is my only redeeming quality, Student Jia?"


    " I believe you need to rethink my sentence, Teacher Qin. " Jia Hao spoke in a light voice. " I praised both your beauty and teaching capabilities."


    " A blend of beauty and intelligence, isn''t that pretty rare to see?" Jia Hao chuckled as he gazed at Lin Mei.


    " Huh? Why are you looking at me?" Lin Mei red back at Jia Hao. " Do you want to say I am a beauty with no brains?"


    " Hehe, ssmate Lin, I didn''t say anything like that. Perhaps you are projecting too much?"


    " Yo-You! Hmph, Meet me outside. I will show you."


    " Heh, I am waiting to see, ssmate Lin."


    " Alright, Everyone be silent." Qin Bingyu smiled for a moment before returning to her stern attitude.


    " Since today is our first ss, I shall bex. For tomorrow, please study chapter six ande with some preparation."


    Qin Bingyu got up. " For now, Everyone please do self study till the break."


    " Everyone, Stand up."


    As Qin Bingyu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The three delinquents returned back to ss. This time, they appeared more sober, with their palms almost red as if they were bleeding.


    " Damn it, I didn''t know it would be Qin Bingyu!"


    " You know her?"


    " She is the new demoness our school hired a week ago. She taught the senior year first when she came, However, she suspended four students for a month and fined two others."


    " She is very righteous and ruthless. But her teaching is also good."


    " Tsk, No wonder she got the nickname of iceberg beauty."


    " Well, I won''t mind getting crushed by her thighs."


    " Brother, You are down bad."


    " So? Your point is?"


    " Allow me to join you."

 Chapter 107: Su Lan Already Have Someone In Her Heart?

    " Oi, Come here right now."


    Lin Mei shouted as she pointed at Jia Hao. Jia Hao chuckled as he returned to his seat. Lin Mei turned at him with a snort.


    " You just met her and already started to swoon on her?"


    " Aw, My girlfriend is jealous, huh?" Jia Hao smacked his lips. Lin Mei blushed a bit when she heard that.


    " Why wouldn''t I? How can you look at other women?"


    " Because I am capable of it?" Jia Hao gave a smug grin. " Why don''t you think, Lin Mei? Which emperor doesn''t have three pce and six courtyards?"


    " Hoh? Are you thinking of yourself as an ancient emperor?" Lin Mei''s eyes narrowed when she heard that.


    " Why not?" Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he spoke while thinking about something. " If I actually put in some effort, I might be an emperor."


    Indeed, if he actually goes to the Yun Continent and starts a rebellion, he might be able to make himself the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.


    '' But then, I barely understood 1% of Yun Continent. There are martial artists, demonic beasts, and strange monstersing from dark fog.''


    ''It''s interesting to see how many secrets it''s hiding. Rather than going forward like a lone hero, I should try and build my own force.''


    " Brother Hao, It''s already lunchtime. Aren''t you going toe?" Cheng Guo ended his game as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Huh? Lunch?"


    " Today is Friday, Brother Hao. Have you forgotten?"


    " Wait, Today is Friday?" Jia Hao''s expression changed. " Damn it, Hurry up. Today is fried chicken strips and chocte cake."


    " That''s why I have been calling you earlier!" Cheng Guo retorted. " But you are so engrossed with Sister Lin."


    " Bah! Fatty Cheng, What the hell are you talking about?" Lin Mei blushed when she heard that.


    The trio got up and walked to the cafeteria. No matter what, the food in the academy was good in quality and taste. After all, they need to justify the high fees, right?


    As expected, it was almost a life and death situation near the chocte cake counter. As time passed, the chocte cakes lessened more and more.


    " Everyone! Move!"


    Jia Hao couldn''t wait any long as he imbued some energy of fear in his voice as he used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts. His harrumph was effective as everyone suddenly trembled.


    The crowd parted, giving Jia Hao and his friends the way to the counter. Lin Mei and Cheng Guo were surprised when they saw it.


    " Tsk, Can''t youe in the line?" The lunchdy was an old woman, who shook her head.


    " Hehe, Aunt, You can''t me me. The cake is too good to miss." Jia Hao gave his signature handsome smile with a wink.


    " Hoho, Is that so?" The old woman smiled as he gave some extra cake to Jia Hao.


    " I am letting you go this time, little charmer. But no next time."


    " Hehe, Aunt, I can''t guarantee that."


    " What a cheeky boy."


    Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the extra cake on Jia Hao''s tter.


    " Damn it! Is she really that infamous old hag? Why she was talking so sweetly to Jia Hao?"


    " Is being handsome is everything in this world? I mean, Look at me¡­I am not that bad."


    " Whoa! Brother, Why don''t you go for shotput or javelin?"


    " Why?"


    " Because you are throwing your lies too far."


    They quickly found a seat as they started to eat.


    " Fatty Cheng, Do you ever think why are you single?" Lin Mei looked at Cheng Guo.


    " Because I am fat?" Chen Guo ate a chicken strip before answering.


    " Yes and you are doing nothing to lessen your wait."


    " Heh, Sister Lin, I don''t believe in love. Not to mention, I would rather trust my dog than trust any woman."


    " Oh, Is that so?"


    Cheng Guo felt a cold chill when he saw Lin Mei''s smile. " I¡­I mean, There are too many green tea girls out there. So, rather than trying my luck and getting my heart broken, I would rather remain single."


    " Not to mention, I have my Jenne with me."


    " Jenne? Is she your girlfriend?" Lin Mei was shocked. Jia Hao almost choked when he heard that.


    " Jenne is a character of a gha game."


    " Hehe, In terms of appearance and power, no one can beat my Jenne." Cheng Guo grinned. " Only if her boobs were a bit bigger¡­"


    " He already crossed the threshold." Lin Mei sighed. " There is nothing we can do."


    After lunch, Jia Hao walked the corridor, as Lin Mei went to her friends.


    '' Hmm, Qin Bingyu is here as usual. Now, if we think about her plot¡­I can guess it without using my Sage''s Divine Eyes.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Taking out a small notebook, he saw two names which he circled.


    '' Chou Ran, the P.E and Disciplinary Teacher who was appointed two months ago, and Vice Principal Ding Gun who is a smiling tiger.''


    '' Vice Principal Ding is a corrupted bastard who is taking huge sums of money from rich parents of delinquents, allowing them to run amock. Due to his influence, Chou Ran easily got a well-paying job here.''


    '' However, Qin Bingyu came to know about their scandals, leading her to be a target of both of them.''


    '' Chou Ran is a leecher and pervert, molesting girls during P.E ss. Qin Bingyu saw it and tried to protest. However, Chou Ran fed her aphrodisiac and raped her, filming her video.''


    '' In Vice Principal Ding''er''s route, Qin Bingyu identally saw him taking bribes and selling school supplies in the ck market. As she wanted to gather more evidence, she got caught by Ding Gun and turned into a sex ve.''


    '' Hmm, But now¡­ Since I am here, Let''s see who dares to mess with her.''


    Suddenly, he paused his steps as he saw someone familiar.


    " Su Lan, I wanted to confess something."


    A young man stood before Su Lan holding a rose.


    " I have been liking you for a long time. So, I want to ask you¡­Su Lan, Would you go out with me?"


    " I¡­ I already have someone in my heart. I am sorry."


    Su Lan gave the answer with some hesitation, but her gaze fell on Jia Hao. She saw Jia Hao biting his lips and turning around to leave.

 Chapter 108: Qin Bingyu Slapping Someone?

    '' Haah, Su Lan is getting confessed, huh?'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly. '' But then, it''s perfectly fine. She is the goddess of senior year after all. But she actually likes someone? I wonder there was something like that in the game?''


    '' Well, She has everything. Looks, personality, wisdom¡­ Not to mention her elegance and her background. She is like a sparkling gem, attracting everyone''s attention and affection.''


    In fact, Jia Hao loved Su Lan''s character in the Urban Fantasy game. If he wanted to have a girlfriend, Jia Hao would undoubtedly pick her.


    '' Wa-Wait second? Why am I thinking like a cliche jealous male lead?'' Jia Hao shook his head as he couldn''t help but smile wryly.


    Perhaps acting like the real, naive personality of the real Jia Hao, Jia Hao was affected by it.


    '' No matter what, I am going to have Su Lan. I can''t let her fall into someone else''s hand.''


    It wasn''t only because Jia Hao was possessive. The other reason was, what if it would trigger another bad ending route for Su Lan?


    Jia Hao swore that he wouldn''t let any of the bad ending routes of the Urban Fantasy happen in this world. He would protect his loved ones and kill those evil bastards with his own hands.


    '' But¡­It would be interesting to see what Su Lan replied to that young man.'' Jia Haoughed wryly in his heart.


    However, at that moment, he heard his phone buzzing. Taking it out, he saw the school chat forum was exploding like crazy.


    '' What the hell happened? Why is everyone getting so excited?'' Jia Hao thought as he opened it.


    " Damn it! Is this real?"


    " Everyone! Hurry up ande to the P.E ground!"


    " Damn it! Iceberg Qin is really fierce!"


    Jia Hao suddenly realized something as he turned around and rushed to the ground hastily.


    There were quite a lot of students there, looking at the scene with excitement.


    " Damn it! Qin Bingyu! It''s just a week since you came here! Yet you are being so unreasonable?!" Chou Ran roared as he pointed at Qin Bingyu.


    One could see a burning red palm mark on his cheeks.


    " Chou Ran, Just because you came earlier, doesn''t mean you are my seniors." Qin Bingyu snorted. " You disgusting pig! How dare you toy a hand on a student!"


    " How dare you nder me! Qin Bingyu, Do you have any proof!" Chou Ran raged. " You bitch, How dare you to p me in front of my students!"


    " Enough both of you!" A few teachers arrived there as they tried to separate both of the.


    Vice Principal rushed into the scene as he shouted. " The PE ss is dismissed! Everyone! Return back and don''t crowd here."


    " And both of you, Shut up ande with me!"


    Jia Hao narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qin Bingyu. He understood that Qin Bingyu already started walking down the bad ending route.


    " Xing''er, You are here too?" Jia Hao noticed Su Xing''er in her P.E uniform. " What exactly happened?"


    " That bastard Chou Ran, He really crossed the line this time." Su Xing''er raged as she gritted her teeth.


    " Today was the join PE ss of A and B section. You know, Chou Ran is a piece of shit. But at most, he only teased and flirted around the girls."


    " However, today, He actually rubbed the breasts of Han Yun of section B. Not to mention, he actually put hands in her pants and squeezed her ass in secret."


    " Teacher Qin was interested in PE as she came here in her free time. However, she heard the whimpers of Han Yun and saw the scene."


    " Chou Ran hurried and tried to exin. But Teacher Qin pped him twice. Then, here you are¡­" Su Xing''er sighed as she clenched her fist.


    " How can she do that? Only two ps? She could have kicked that bastard''s balls."


    " Isn''t that your fault too?" Jia Hao red at Su Xing''er. " If you know Chou Ran is a problematic person, why didn''t you report him?"


    " Because¡­ He didn''t showed any malice towards us." Su Xing''er bit her lips. " He only target the easy and naive girls. If he had tried to molest me¡­I would have crushed his balls."


    " Still, Even if you heard the rumors, you girls should have banded together against him." Jia Hao sighed. " Just because it''s happening to others, you won''t meddle in it? This is how you let the crime grow."


    " Alright, Uncle Jia. I admit my mistake, ok?" Su Xing''er joined his palm and bowed before Jia Hao.


    " Han Yun, Is it?" Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he looked at Su Xing''er. " Do you have any pictures of her?"


    " What do you want to do with her?" Su Xing''er gazed at Jia Hao with curiosity.


    " Nothing, just tying some loose ends, nothing more." Jia Hao chuckled as he turned around. " Let''s go back. Saturday and Sunday is holiday after all."


    " I want to eat some mutton skewers on the way back."


    " Haah, alright. Call Big Sis Lan and ask her toe. We shall leave shortly."


    " Alright."


    Jia Hao brooded in his thought as he recalled Qin Bingyu''s information which he saw from Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Name: Qin Bingyu]


    [ Age: 25]


    [ Remark: Abandoned daughter of Qin Family of Dongshan City. Righteous and prodigy. A cold personality due to a rough childhood.]


    [ Recent Future Point: Two dayster, she will get drugged by Chou Ran before getting raped and filmed]


    '' As expected, It''s the same.''Jia Hao thought inwardly. Since he has two days'' worth of time, he would be able to devise a solution easily.''


    In fact, if he wanted, he could simply kill Chou Ran. However, he didn''t want to take any unnecessary risks.


    Besides, if there were no viins, how could a hero''s halo shine?


    As the three of them got into the Benz, Jia Hao sat in the middle as Su Lan and Su Xing''er sat on each of his side.


    " Huh? Aren''t you going to sit in front?" Jia Hao looked at both of them with confusion.


    " I am feeling like sitting here today." Su Lan smiled lightly.


    " I am toozy to move to front." Su Xing''er muttered.


    " Then how about I¡­"


    " Don''t disturb Uncle He. Uncle, Please drive."


    Jia Hao got shut down by the two beauties. So, he could only sit in silent now.


    '' What''s this atmosphere?''

 Chapter 109: Who Is Your Lover?

    In Su Family manor. Jia Hao walked out of his room after refreshing himself. As he was walking in the corridor, he suddenly received a message.


    " Huh? Big Sis Lan?" Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the message. '' She asked me to bring the pudding and juice from the fridge?''


    '' Haah¡­She is really studying hard, huh? Her University Exam is near. But I believe she will get good grades.''


    Jia Hao came down and prepared a te full of pudding, orange juice, and some sliced apples. He looked around and saw Su Xing''er was absent.


    '' Where did that girl go?'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly. Suddenly he recalled what Su Xing''er said earlier.


    " Chenchen is moving nearby. So, I am going to help her." Su Xing''er indeed said that.


    Jia Hao didn''t mind much as he held the te and walked to Su Lan''s room. He softly knocked on the door.


    " Big Sister Su, May Ie in?"


    " Ah, Hao''er¡­Come in, the door is opened."


    Jia Hao nodded as he opened the door. The familiar room of Su Lan appeared before his eyes.


    Soft pink color, all clean and tidy, and everything in its ce. Su Lan was sitting beside her study table with a bunch of notes and study materials spread before her.


    She wore a purple sweatshirt along with a miniskirt, revealing her soft and supple thighs without any ws.


    " Hehe, Thanks Hao''er." Su Lan smiled as Jia Hao ced the tray on her table.


    " I made you bring¡­"


    " It''s alright, Sister Lan." Jia Hao smiled. " You were studying. So, it could be a bit inconvenient for you to get up and get the things. Besides, getting up might distract you from concentration."


    " Hao''er, You are pretty considerate, hm?" Su Lan adjusted her ss as she smiled at Jia Hao. She took the spoon and scooped out some pudding.


    " Mm, This is really delicious. Xing''er brings good stuff." Su Lan licked her lips as she nodded with satisfaction. She scooped another portion and raised her spoon to Jia Hao''s mouth.


    " Hu-Huh? Big Sis Lan?" Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the gesture of Su Lan. She was actually feeding him?


    " What? You aren''t going to eat from my hands?"


    '' MMM! Why is her voice soforting? It''s the same as Aunt Su.'' Jia Hao sighed in his heart as he pouted lightly.


    " Big Sis Lan, Do you think of me as a kid?"


    " Well, You are younger than me." Su Lan grinned. Jia Hao opened his mouth to say something, but Su Lan used the chance to push the spoon into his mouth.


    Jia Hao sighed as he savored the pudding. The taste was quite fascinating as Jia Hao closed his eyes and nodded.


    " Well, We shall eat together after a bit. I have finished reviewing my notes." Su Lan spoke as she picked some notes.


    " Now, I shall test you."


    " Hu-Huh?" Jia Hao was dumbfounded as he smiled wryly. " Big Sis Lan, must you force me to study every time Ie here?"


    " Besides, These subjects are supposed to be studied next year. How can I solve them right now?"


    " Oh? So, Hao''er saying you can''t?" Su Lan gave a coy smile as she smiled at him. Jia Hao chuckled nervously. " Well¡­ I mean I can try¡­But I might not be able to solve everything."


    " Well, Since that''s the case, Allow me to teach Hao''er. You''re going to take the University Exam next year anyway, no? You should start preparing from now."


    After that, Su Lan showed her some notes and asked Jia Hao various questions. To her surprise, Jia Hao managed to answer everything other than a few tough concepts.


    " It looks like you also studied the book of the year above you, hm? You already grasped most of the things."


    " Hehe, it''s nothing more than my memory. It helps me to understand and remember most of the things." Jia Hao scratched his head.


    " Is that so? Now, do this question for me."


    " Let me see¡­"


    As Jia Hao was writing down the answer, Su Lan kept feeding him the pudding while eating from the same spoon. Soon, Jia Hao finished the answer and showed it to Su Lan.


    Coincidentally, the pudding was also finished.


    " Nice, You got everything correct. Tsk, But the pudding ended I guess." Su Lan chuckled.


    " Well, Sister Lan¡­You fed me the same spoon that you ate with. Doesn''t that¡­"


    " Indirect kiss?" Su Lan finished Jia Hao''s sentence with a smile. " Are you worried about the indirect kiss?"


    " Well, Sister Lan already loves someone else, no?" Jia Hao asked curtly. " You even rejected that handsome dude."


    " Heh, So you saw everything, hm?" Su Lan ced her chin on her fist as she looked at Jia Hao affectionately.


    " Is little Hao feeling jealous?"


    " Why would I?" Jia Hao gave a hollowugh. " I mean, If my big sister gets a good lover, I should be happy no?"


    " After all, Finding good love in today''s market is very hard."


    " What you said is true indeed." Su Lan nodded with a sigh. " However, I believe the man I have a crush on is very capable."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " Since you are saying, then I have to believe that person''s skill."


    " So¡­Who is it?"


    Su Lan gave a yful smile. " First, Admit you are feeling jealous."


    " Ugh¡­Fine, I felt¡­just a little bit of¡­jealousy. Ok?" Jia Hao huffed as he nodded.


    Su Lan rubbed her lips as she became thoughtful. " Let me give you hints."


    " That person is super close to me. He is rted to me¡­but also not my blood family." Su Lan pursed her lips.


    " Not to mention, he is tall, handsome, and has good strength. He can get cheeky sometimes, but he is a good person in his heart."


    " Uhh¡­That''s a lot of qualities. Who is he?" Jia Hao was genuinely confused.


    " Well, I guess you aren''t as bright as I thought, Hao''er." Su Lan grinned, as if she was enjoying the situation.


    " Don''t worry, I can show you his image." She pointed at a ce. " Look there, you can see him."


    Jia Hao turned his head and saw what Su Lan was pointing at.


    It was a mirror.

 Chapter 110: Confessions of Both

    " I¡­"


    Jia Hao''s brain stopped working for a moment when he saw his reflection in the mirror.


    " So, Mr. Intelligent, do you understand?"


    " I¡­Sister Lan¡­I¡­I?"


    Jia Hao pointed at himself as he was shocked. " You are¡­talking about me?"


    He actually didn''t expect such development. Even in the game, Su Lan''s route was obviously a bad ending route. Not to mention, even if you avoid the bad ending route, it simply ends with Su Lan bing the sessful sessor of Blue Crystal Company.


    As for her love life, she once talked to Jia Hao in the game after getting yed by Li Tao while crying. But after that, she avoided him till the end.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao pieced all the information together, and his brain finally gained some rity.


    " Big Sister Lan¡­You rejected him because¡­You like me?" Jia Hao spoke with an incredulous tone. " Like¡­link means loving here other than familial love?"


    However, before Jia Hao could raise more doubts, Su Lan suddenly moved and kissed Jia Hao.


    Her soft lips were like flower petals, gently pressing against Jia Hao''s lips. Slowly, their tongues touched each other, making both of them shiver with a strange and blissful anticipation.


    After a while, Su Lan leaned back, breaking the kiss. Jia Hao panted as he ced his palm on his chest, feeling his thunderous heartbeat.


    " Sister Lan¡­"


    " You can call me Su Lan or Lan directly." Su Lan pursed her lips.


    " Hehe¡­But calling you Big Sis got its own charm." Jia Hao giggled as he rubbed his own lips. " I¡­I simply can''t believe it."


    " Sister Lan, But why me?" Jia Hao took a deep breath as he looked at her. " I¡­I thought you only saw me as a little brother."


    " Hao''er, Have you forgotten when we used to y together? I thought you promised to marry me?" Su Lan pouted when she heard Jia Hao''s questioning.


    " Aside that childish promise, I always have a crush on you, Hao''er. After you had finished taking the University Exam, I would have confessed to you."


    " However, your parents passed away and Mom adopted you."


    " I was both happy and sad when I heard that. Happy because I would be able to spend more time with you. Sad because¡­Mom actually adopted you, so you are like my¡­step brother."


    " I thought I would bury my feelings for you. However, the way you held the mantle of the Su Family and helped everyone out of crisis¡­I simply can''t stop my feelings anymore. So I thought and thought¡­ And realized that I can''t stop loving you.


    " Not to mention, We aren''t blood rted anyway." Su Lan spoke with an assuring voice.


    " So, Hao''er¡­I¡­I love you. I always have been."


    Su Lan took a deep breath as she confessed to Jia Hao. Her face was flushed with a pink charm. Her heartbeat was like a galloping horse, making her entire body sweaty.


    However, she didn''t stop as she decided to confess all her feelings to Jia Hao.


    " I was nning to wait before I confess. But what happened in recent days¡­and today. Yes, I saw you walking away with rage and jealousy when that student confessed to me."


    " At that moment¡­I felt joy when I saw you jealous. And when you avoided me in the car and even in the house, I felt even more happy. I realize that you might have feelings for me."


    " So¡­Um¡­Jia Hao, I have said what I have to say." Su Lan took a deep breath.


    She couldn''t help but concerned when she saw Jia Hao was being silent.


    " Wh-What is it, Hao''er? Do you feel¡­weird? I mean¡­You might have only seen me as a big sister¡­"


    " That''s not it!" Jia Hao shouted, cutting Su Lan''s sentence. " I also like you, Big Sister Lan!"


    Su Lan was stunned when she saw the upright expression of Jia Hao.


    " But¡­I also have to confess something." Jia Hao spoke in a sincere voice. "


    " Yes, Tell me, Hao''er."


    " I¡­I have a bad personality." Jia Hao took a deep breath as he decided to remain frank. " You might have seen me as a perfect, handsome young man. But, I too have some vices."


    " Oh? I would like to know about the vices of yours, Hao''er." Su Lan couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " I am a womanizer." Jia Hao spoke in a straight voice. " As Su Xing''er indicated, I have several romantic female interests in the school."


    " It''s not like I am cheating on them. As I am speaking with you right now, I also told this to them. Despite that, they still agreed to be with me."


    " I know this is very immoral and hical. However, after a certain incident in childhood, I felt my heart and thoughts getting more and more twisted." Jia Hao drooped his head, talking with a guilty tone.


    " I won''t share the incident but¡­After that, I became excessively greedy. I couldn''t be contended with things as they are. Wealth, women¡­I wish to possess everything."


    " Saying in short¡­I can''t be sated with a single woman." Jia Hao stood up and walked towards the door.


    " I have shown the truth of my heart, Big Sister Lan. As for what you are going to do, it depends on you."


    " But, I sincerely thank you for thinking me worthy of being your crush."


    " Hao''er¡­" Su Lan bit her lips as she fell into deep thought. However, in that instant, she resolved her heart.


    " Hao''er, Stand there. Do not leave or turn around."


    " Huh?"


    Jia Hao paused his steps when he heard Su Lan''s voice. All she heard some rustling sounds, making his heartbeat elerate.


    '' What is she doing?'' Jia Hao thought in his heart. Su Lan''s voice echoed again.


    " Now, you can turn around."


    " What happened¡­"


    Jia Hao''s eyes almost popped out when he gazed at Su Lan. She was wearing a sexy,cy ck thong withted bra covering her ample breasts.


    " You bought this for me, didn''t you?" Su Lan gave a light smile. " Now tell me, How am I looking?"

 Chapter 111: Su Lan Using Her Hands (R-18)

    " Big Sis Lan¡­I¡­What are you doing?"


    Jia Hao felt blood rushing to his head in that instant. If he doesn''t control it, he might die from blood loss from excess nosebleeding.


    " You wanted my answer, no?" Su Lan spoke in a light voice. " Are you happy to hear my answer?"


    " I¡­ I¡­"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as his eyes became focused. Without any hesitation, he walked forward, hugging Su Lan tightly.


    " I am sorry¡­I am sorry, Big Sis Lan. I am sorry for not being able to make you the sole woman in my heart."


    Jia Hao hugged her tighter, speaking softly near her ear with a quivering voice.


    " But¡­ I love you too. I will never let you go. I will always protect you from danger and give you any happiness you desire."


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Lan''s heart was thumping equally faster. After all, she always appeared as a conservative woman. Making such a bold move in front of Jia Hao took a toll on her mind.


    However, she was determined to show her feelings to Jia Hao. Therefore, she didn''t hesitate.


    Jia Hao kept her hugging as he looked deeply into her eyes. They were like clear brown crystals, filled with love, warmth, andpassion.


    Without thinking of anything, Jia Hao kissed her lips once again. This time, with more passion and enthusiasm.


    Su Lan returned his kiss with equal love, opening her mouth to greet Jia Hao''s tongue. Their tongues interwind like snakes, making their bodies buzz with pleasure and warmth.


    Jia Hao could feel the strawberry-vored lipstick, along with the aftertaste of pudding. However, the love of Su Lan is sweeter than these things.


    His palm slowly descended below Su Lan''s hips, gently caressing her plump ass which was mostly uncovered, thanks to the sexy thong.


    Su Lan''s body trembled as she felt Jia Hao''s caressing on her rear. Her body became hotter, with a red blush spreading on her fair skin.


    Suddenly, Su Lan pushed Jia Hao onto her bed, making himnd on the soft bed with a light bounce.


    " Tsk, Hao''er¡­You are already so excited down there." Su Lan let out a small giggle, pointing at the towering erection that threatened to burst out from his pants.


    " Big Sister Lan, you are looking so sexy right now." Jia Hao spoke in a sincere voice. " How can I not get aroused by it? I am still a hot blooded young man after all."


    " Then, Let''s see how hot blooded you are."


    Although Su Lan spoke these bold words, she was still getting shy and nervous. She raised her hands to pull down Jia Hao''s pants. But she was unable to do so.


    Jia Haoughed when he saw Su Lan''s cute hesitation. " Sister Lan, no matter what, you are still the shy and conservative Su Lan I knew."


    " So, Let me help you."


    " I¡­"


    Su Lan couldn''t help but pout when she saw Jia Hao''s cheeky grin. Jia Hao teased her a bit as he slowly pulled down his pants.


    With an audible gasp, Su Lan saw Jia Hao''s magnificent cock springing out with freedom. The size, the shape, the sticity, everything made Su Lan shocked beyond anything.


    " This¡­This is so¡­big!" Su Lan was amazed. " Like¡­It''s like those videos¡­"


    " Ah, So Big Sis watch those kind of videos, huh?" Jia Hao grinned.


    Su Lan blushed as she shook her head. " No-Not me! My friend watches them. She showed me once¡­"


    " Only once?"


    " ¡­A few times."


    Su Lan bit her lips. Yet her eyes were still focused on Jia Hao''s magnificent cock. She knelt before the bed, making Jia Hao''s cock right before her face.


    She opened and closed her lips, unable to determine what to do. Jia Hao saw it and shook his head. " Big Sis Lan, You don''t need to worry too much. Those videos are just¡­videos. They don''t have any depth or emotions."


    " Besides, You don''t need to use your mouth at all. You can use your hands."


    " I¡­ I¡­"


    Su Lan was speechless when she saw Jia Hao guiding her like a mentor. With a sigh, she nodded, gently holding Jia Hao''s shaft with her soft hands.


    She could feel the raging warmth along with the pulsing vein around that cock, making her tranced. She slowly started to stroke the shaft, trying to match the rhythm of the throbbing.


    She couldn''t help but let her face close to it as she stroked faster and faster. The strange, racy smell made her body burn with fire. It wasn''t a terrible stench or fragrance like flowers. But the scent was quite something¡­making her desire unfurl.


    " Nngh~ Big Sis Lan¡­You are doing good."


    " Is it feeling good?" Su Lan asked eagerly, savoring a new experience like this.


    " Ye-Yes, It feels so good." Jia Hao panted. "Your hands are amazing, Big Sister Lan. I never felt so good¡­"


    The slimy pre cum already started to drip, making Jia Hao''s rod more slippy. This made Su Lan''s movement faster and easier.


    Not to mention, she purposely kept her breasts closer to Jia Hao''s shaft, making him even more aroused.


    " Ahn!~ I am¡­cumming!"


    " Ah?!"


    Su Lan could feel the jerk in the shaft as it started to shoot threads of white fluid. Most of them dripped down. However, some of them shot directly at her face, making her face drench.


    " This¡­You let out so much, Hao''er." Su Lan giggled as she could feel the faint taste on her lips. She could feel the sticky mess, which was getting stickier as seconds passed.


    '' So, Men and women''s fluids are different.'' She mumbled in her heart as she got up, trying to find tissues to clean off Jia Hao.


    " Elder Sister, Jia Hao, are you inside?"


    Su Lan and Jia Hao''s expressions changed when they heard Su Xing''er''s voice.


    Both of them hurriedly got up Jia Hao took the tissues to wipe off the mess. Meanwhile, Su Lan panicked as she also wiped her face and wore back her clothes.


    " Hello? Are you guys in?"


    Su Xing''er opened the door and couldn''t help but stare at them.


    " You guys are so engrossed in the study you didn''t hear me?"


    She saw Jia Hao and Su Lan sitting beside the study desk. "


    " Ahaha, I am sorry, Xing''er. I was about to open the door." Su Lan smiled wryly.


    " Huh? What''s that white thing on your lips Elder Sister?"


    " Wh-What?! Where?" Su Lan instinctively licked her lips, tasting the forbidden cream once more.


    " You guys¡­" Su Xing''er eyes narrowed. But Jia Hao showed him an empty ss cup.


    " Ah! I knew it, You ate the pudding!" Su Xing''er sighed.


    " Yep."


    Jia Hao nodded at Su Lan as he smiled.

 Chapter 112: Looking For Han Yun

    " You two look a bit¡­tired? What are you guys doing? Wrestling or what?" Su Xing''erughed lightly when she saw Su Lan gasping lightly, with her skin still having that reddish hue.


    Su Lan and Jia Hao were dumbfounded. Su Xing''er gave a pretty precise reasoning without knowing.


    " Heh, You sure think a lot, Xing''er." Jia Hao chortled. " Anyway, You went to Chenchen''s house?"


    " Yeah, She is moving to our city. I went to help her." Su Xing''er sat on the bed. But he couldn''t help but sniff a strange odor.


    " Strange¡­This smell is so strange¡­"


    " Don''t try to change the topic here." Jia Hao babbled, not letting Su Xing''er think. " Heh, you went to help Chenchen or eat with her?"


    " Eh? Ho-How do you know?" Su Xing''er was surprised.


    " Ah, You must have gone to that old noodle shop." Su Lan gave a nod of understanding. " Yet, You didn''t buy anything for us?"


    " Uhh¡­ I guess I forgot?" Su Xing''er stuck out her tongue. But then, when she saw the gazes of Su Lan and Jia Hao, she changed the topic.


    " Anyway, Jia Hao, tomorrow is the Martial Arts Tournament. Are you ready?"


    " Of course, I am. I always have been." Jia Hao chuckled. Su Xing''er crossed her arms. " But, I haven''t seen you preparing or anything."


    " Do I need to prepare to defeat some ants?"


    " How arrogant." Su Xing''er pursed her lips. " Do you have any strength to back up your boasting?"


    " Why not?" Jia Hao grinned. " Want to test me?"


    " Let''s go. I learned some tricks from Sister Jiang. I shall use it on you."


    " Alright, I shall be the match referee then." Su Lan got up as she nodded. " Let''s see what you guys have been learning in the Southern Edge Dojo."


    Three of them went to the garden as Su Xing''er stood before Jia Hao. With a grin, Jia Hao rolled his sleeves.


    " I would be bullying you if I used all my strength. How about this? I shall only use one fist and won''t budge from my spot."


    " Jia Hao, Are you looking down on me?" Su Xing''er eyes narrowed. She clenched her fist angrily when she heard Jia Hao.


    " I am not looking down on you. I am simply stating facts." Jia Hao shrugged. " So, If you managed to budge me, or make me use both of my fists, you would win."


    " Hmph! Don''t go back on your words then." Su Xing''er replied.


    " Ah, Before we start, How about we bet?" Jia Hao suddenly grinned. " Without betting, this duel will feel nd."


    " Fine, What do you want to bet?" Su Xing''er asked with a huff. She already realized that Jia Hao''s demand would be no good.


    " Call me onii chan for a week."


    " No."


    " Come on¡­"


    " Three days¡­Three days at most." Su Xing''er gritted her teeth, remembering her first humiliation during their jogging.


    " But if I win¡­Let''s say¡­" Su Xing''er thought for a moment before speaking. " You are going to run my errands for a week. You have to do anything I ask."


    " Deal." Jia Hao grinned as he adjusted his position. " Go ahead, Attack me.


    " Heh, Don''t regret it!"


    Su Xing''er moved as her hands glided through the air. As she was about tond Jia Hao''s chest, she saw Jia Hao''s hands moving and swatting her fist away.


    " See this! Wind and Lightning Trigram!"


    Su Xing''er''s attacks turned into torrents, hailing towards Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao simply used his palms to block each attack without much effort.


    And, he did that while standing in the same spot, without budging an inch. Suddenly, as she punched him once again, Jia Hao simply grabbed her fist, blocking her.


    But at that moment, she used her legs to attack the knees of Jia Hao, trying to make him stumble.


    However, Jia Hao simply raised his legs and tilted a bit, avoiding the kick of Su Xing''er. After he evaded the kick, hended his feet on the exact same ce where it was before.


    " Damn it!"


    *BAAM!*


    " Ouuchh! Damn it, Just¡­How tough is your skin?"


    Su Xing''er finally managed to punch Jia Hao''s chest. But she felt a sting of pain on her fists, making her jerk back.


    " Well, What did I tell you before? I am giving myself a handicap for your own good." Jia Hao smiled.


    Su Xing''er bit her lips as she sighed, taking a few steps back. " Damn it, Your body is like a tank. How can you be so powerful? All you do isze around the entire day."


    " Hehe, Should I tell you my secret?" Jia Hao chuckled. " But then, since you have lost¡­"


    " No, I won''t call you onii chan." Su Xing''er refused t out as she showed her tongue to Jia Hao. " What are you going to do?"


    " Hehe, You better don''t back away, Su Xing''er." Jia Hao grinned. " Else I will spank you."


    " Wh-What?" Su Xing''er staggered as her face turned red." You dare!?"


    " Why wouldn''t I?" Jia Hao walked towards her with a smile.


    " Alright, The duel ends here." Su Lan interjected. " Hao''er, don''t tease Xing''er too much."


    " And, Xing''er¡­Since you have betted, you need to uphold your promise."


    " Not you too, Elder Sister." Su Xing''er looked at her aggrieved.


    " Well, You have quite some time to think about it." Jia Haoughed as he turned around. " I am going out for some errands. I won''t be back soon."


    " So, See Ya."


    Jia Hao left to pick the sauces and other culinary things she ordered for Feng Yunshi. After a while, he got into the warehouse and put all the barrels inside the Pot of Miracle.


    " Not bad, This amount of sauce shall go for a month at least." Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction when he saw that. After picking up the sauces, he took out his phone and looked at a message.


    " Now, Let''s visit that girl Han Yun."


    It was the same girl who got molested by Chou Ran. However, if Jia Hao does nothing now, she would cause a lot of trouble for Qin Bingyu rather than Chou Ran.

 Chapter 113: Giving Choices

    " Brother Jia, I already sent you the address of Han Yun."


    " Damn, Cheng Guo, You are really quite fast, huh?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but click his tongue.


    " Hehe, Of course. I know most things regarding our school and the students."


    " Don''t worry, Cheng Guo. I won''t let you suffer loss." Jia Haoughed. " How about I give you the tinum pass for three months in your gha game?"


    " Ahhhh! Brother Jia, You are truly a god! I bow before your benevolence and present my ass¡­"


    " Alright, Shut up." Jia Hao couldn''t help but cut him off in the middle. '' This bastard is really a boot licker.''


    However, He had to admit that Cheng Guo got the work done. He found the address of Han Yun and now, that''s his next destination.


    '' Han Yun, her parents aren''t as rich as others. It was an ordinary middle ss family, or maybe a bit below? She also looks decent, scoring six and a half points out of ten.''


    Following the address, Jia Hao reached Han Yun''s house, which is a small apartment. However, as he was about to step inside, he saw a familiar figure walking out.


    It was Vice Principal Ding!


    He looked at Jia Hao and couldn''t help but squint a bit. However, Jia Hao was nonchnt, entering the building without even ncing at him.


    '' That young man¡­It seems like he is a student from our academy?''


    '' Whatever, I already did what I wanted to do. That damn Chou Ran, I have to fix that bastard.'' Vice Principal sighed as he got into the car.


    Jia Hao sneered when he saw that. Without any hesitation, he walked to the apartment of Han Yun.


    After knocking, the door opened quickly. It was Han Yun''s mom.


    " Yes? Who is it?"


    " Hello, Aunt. I am Han Yun''s friend. May I enter?"


    " Wh-Who are you? Yun''er''s friend? I haven''t seen you before¡­"


    Jia Hao sighed as his smile brightened, " Aunt? You didn''t recognize me? I am Jia Hao, the most trusted person who you can put your daughter together in a single room without any suspicion."


    Han Yun''s mother was dazed when she heard that. However, strange enough¡­ Instead of getting angry, her eyes simply became vacant.


    " Remember me?"


    " Ah, Yes¡­ Jia Hao¡­Yes." She nodded slowly. " Come in, Child. Han Yun is inside."


    " Hehe, Thank you, aunt." Jia Hao smiled as he walked inside. He simply used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts to cloud the thoughts of Han Yun''s mother.


    " Who is it, Mom?"


    " It''s your friend, Jia Hao."


    Han Yun''s mother replied. However, before Han Yun coulde, Jia Hao looked at her mother and smiled.


    " Aunt, can you go and prepare some coffee for me?"


    " Sure, Child. I shall be right back." Han Yun''s mother nodded as she turned around and walked to the kitchen.


    Han Yun opened her room door, but to her shock, Jia Hao burst inside and closed it from inside.


    " Wh-Who are you?! How did youe inside!?" Han Yun was rmed when she saw Jia Hao inside his room. " Don''t lock the door! Mom? Mom!"


    " Quit shouting."


    Han Yun felt a sudden surge of fear when she heard Jia Hao''smand. The fear, the dominance from his words simply shut her down.


    Jia Hao smiled lightly as he sat on her bed. " Your room is very nice and tidy. Not bad."


    " Wh-Who are you? What do you want from me?" Han Yun clenched her teeth as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Didn''t you hear your mom? I am your ssmate." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " You are not from my ss."


    " I am from the same grade actually." Jia Hao answered lightly. " Now, Let''s not waste time, ok?"


    " Did Vice Principal Dinge here and talk to you regarding the matter of Chou Ran?"


    Han Yun''s expression changed when she heard that question. Her lips trembled, making her look like she was remembering something unpleasant.


    " What¡­What do you have to do with it?"


    " Well, Quite a lot." Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice.


    " You have two paths now. Suck up to Chou Ran and Vice Principal and pin mes on Qin Bingyu."


    " If you take this path, you might be safe for a short period of time. But, the next time, you won''t be simply groped."


    " Then what?!" Han Yun burst out. " What do you want me to do? Do you realize if I don''t do as they say, They will ruin me?!"


    Her eyes turned teary when she said that. She sat on the bed and started to sob. Jia Hao sighed as he remained silent for a moment, allowing Han Yun to gather her thoughts.


    " Now, Tell me what he said to you."


    " I¡­ He just came a few minutes ago."


    Han Yun sighed as she started to exin to Jia Hao. After the matter blew up in the school, the news was sent to Han Yun''s mother. Currently, her father is out of the city, so her mother handles everything.


    Vice Principal Ding came here to oversimplify the thing before Han Yun''s mother. And after that, he took Han Yun for a private chat.


    " Han Yun, I believe you applied for two schrships and it''s still pending, yes?"


    " Listen, I don''t wish to harm you. However, Teacher Chou¡­He already got severalpromising pictures of yours. I can''t imagine what will happen to your image once those images get out, right?"


    Han Yun was petrified when she heard the Vice Principal. She thought he came here to console her and give her justice. However, she never imagined that Vice Principal Ding would support Chou Ran.


    " So, How about we make a little deal?"


    Han Yun looked distressed as she looked at Jia Hao. " They will give me 50,000 Yuan along with approving schrship worth 200,000."


    " In return, I have to pin the me on Teacher Qin during the teacher''s meeting. I have to confess that she pped Chou Ran with malicious intent."


    " Our family condition isn''t much good right now¡­If I get that 250,000 Yuan¡­It would be a great help for us." Han Yun bit her lips.


    " So, You are thinking of taking the path that Vice Principal Ding to you?" Jia Hao asked coldly. " And pushing your savior, Teacher Qin, into the pit?"


    " What else I can do?" Han Yun raged. " I don''t want my private pictures to get uploaded on the inte!"


    " Well, What if I say I have another path for you?" Jia Hao replied with a calm voice. " 300,000 Yuan right now. And you have to confess the truth before the board''s meeting."


    " Also, none of your pictures going to spread on the inte."


    " So, Do you like these terms?"


    " Wh-What?"


    Han Yun was dumbfounded when she heard that. She couldn''t believe Jia Hao was paying her 300,000 Yuan, to tell the truth.

 Chapter 114: Magistrate Cais House

    " How¡­Why? Han Yun was confused. " Why do you want to pay me?"


    " Because I don''t want teacher Qin to suffer." Jia Hao replied tly.


    " Well, Aunt might be here with coffee anytime soon. So, please tell me your decision."


    " Are you going to remain as the ything of two evil bastards and punish your savior? Or courage up and make those bastards pay?"


    Looking at Jia Hao''s serious face, Han Yun couldn''t find a shred of deceit.


    '' He is¡­He is telling the truth?'' Han Yun''s mind spun as she tried to find the solution to this problem.


    Hearing Jia Hao''s words, she felt a strange courage in her heart.


    Indeed, Why should she allow those bastards to control herself? Today, she was the victim. But tomorrow, someone else might be.


    '' No, If I have the power and chance to punish them, I must do so.''


    " Alright, If you have the ability to do so, I will do what you say." Han Yun looked at Jia Hao with expectant eyes.


    " First, Give me your bank ount number."


    " I¡­ Are you really going to give me money?" Han Yun was shocked.


    " So, You don''t want it?"


    " No no! Wait, I want." Han Yun hurriedly shook her head as she gave Jia Hao her ount number.


    Jia Hao got up and walked out of her room." Don''t tell your mother that I was here."


    " Huh? What do you mean?"


    Han Yun saw Jia Hao walking out of her room. Suddenly, she saw her mother holding a ss of cofee.


    " Jia Hao, Are you leaving?"


    " Yes, Aunt. I am going¡­ After I leave, Just forget that I ever came here. Also, thuis coffee was for yourself."


    Jia Hao snapped her fingers as he walked out Han Yun''s mother shuddered as she looked around with confusion.


    " Ugh, What just happened to me?"


    " Mother! Are you alright?"


    " Huh? Yun''er, Did¡­Did someone came to our house?"


    Han Yun was shocked when she heard that. Stuuteringly, she shook her head. " N-No? No one came after Vice Principal left."


    " This¡­ Is that so?" Her mother frowned. " Then who did I brew this coffees for? I..brewed for myself?"


    " Of course, Mother. Did you forget that?"


    " Ugh, My head. I feel like forgetting something." Her mother sighed. But at that moment, Han Yun''s phone buzzed as she opened it.


    " Huh?"


    Her eyes turned wide when she saw 300,000 Yuan credited to her ount. Her mother also saw that and couldn''t help but get shocked.


    " This¡­Han Yun, who gave you so much money?"


    " Ah this¡­Mother¡­The school! Yes." Han Yun nodded. " You know, Our academy is the most prestigious academy in this entire city. So¡­They gave me thispensation to keep their name clean."


    " Not to mention, a part of the money also came from that bastard teacher."


    " Haah, Really?" Her mother''s gaze turned cold. " Are they trying to silence us using money?"


    " No, Not that. This is justpensation." Han Yun bit her lips as she looked at her mother. " That teacher will definitely get punished."


    " Haah, My daughter, You suffered so much." Her mother sighed as she patted her. " You must stand against such bastards in the future. Don''t let them take advantage of you."


    " Yes, Mother."


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao walked out of the apartment with relief. '' Alright, I have finished taking care of her issue first.''


    In the original plot, Han Yun sumbed to Chou Ran and Vice Principal Ding''s pressure and gave false testimony against Qin Bingyu.


    As a result, Qin Bingyu''s reputation and strength in school falls quite a lot.


    Not to mention, Han Yun also gets called to a secluded area and Chou Ran rapes her. And after that, she falls for his addictive cock and money.


    Then Han Yun ys as their pawn and lures Qin Bingyu into the trap before Chou Ran takes advantage of her too.


    '' Tsk, What a predictable shitty bad ending. At least have some twists.'' Jia Hao muttered in his heart.


    Looking at the time, he saw it was 6PM. He thought for a moment and calcted the time.


    '' The tournament starts around 10 AM tomorrow. So I have around 16 hours of free time. It should be already more than a day or two might have passed in Yun Continent. I should go and check.''


    Rather than returning to the mansion, he went straight to a hotel and booked a room. He messaged Su Xing''er, saying he wouldn''t being tonight and he would go straight to the Tournament tomorrow.


    Entering the room, Jia Hao nodded as he looked around. " Not bad, This is a good room."


    Washing his hands and face, Jia Hao got on the bed and fell asleep.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah¡­ I am here."


    Jia Hao opened his eyes as he looked at his familiar bedroom. It was already evening when he looked outside.


    When he opened the door, he was surprised to see two maids standing outside.


    " Huh? Young Lord Jia."


    " You are back."


    " What are you guys doing here?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at them.


    " Young Lady asked us to guard her room and not let anyone in." The maids bowed respectively.


    " How strange, We were guarding the room, yet we didn''t see you enter."


    " It''s alright, I have my ways." Jia Hao shook his head as he sent them away.


    '' Tsk, What I shrewd wife I have. She already guessed that I can appear in the bedroom mysteriously, huh?'' Jia Hao smiled wryly.


    '' But anyway, Since I have focused all the Chaos Energy on the sauce barrels, the quality has been enhanced several times. Heh, should I call them special MSG now?''


    As he walked out, his gaze fell on the crowd outside the estate.


    " This¡­What''s happening?" Jia Hao was surprised when he saw that.


    " Huh? Son In Law?"


    " Old Yang? Who are these people?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    " They? Ah, You were absent that day." Old Yang sighed as he looked at Jia Hao. " Have you forgotten? Patriarch Cai has be the Nanhai City Magistrate."


    " From now on, our house turned into a Magistrate Estate. So, of course, a lot of people shalle here now."

 Chapter 115: Pros and Cons

    Jia Hao was surprised when he saw that. " Heh, So, our household became like a court?"


    " You can say that." Old Yang nodded. Jia Hao looked around with a light frown. " Then what about the guards there? They don''t look like Cai Family guards."


    " His Majesty ordered a part of Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry and Storm Guards to be sent to the western frontier. And it will be reced by thew enforcement guards of Nanhai City and Prefecture Guards." Old Yang replied with a sigh.


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he realized something. " Not bad¡­ The Imperial Family trying to reduce the military power of the Cai Family, eh?"


    " Son in Law is wise." Old Yang spoke in a low voice. " The Emperor wishes the Cai Family to slowly reduce their military power and be an official."


    " Not to mention, Eldest Master is already guarding the Northern Border with ten thousand elite cavalry army. So, they used the chance to reduce the army stationed in the main family." Old Yang looked around as he replied with a low voice.


    " Heh, Afraid of rebellion, eh?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    Pulling out the military strength from a powerful n and centralizing it under the Imperial Family is a good move. It will consolidate the power of the Imperial Family.


    " However, Just because Cai Family is loyal and agreed, doesn''t mean everyone would be." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " What if someone created a private army and kept them hidden? At the moment''s need, they will simply use that."


    " Private army and unauthorized weapons and strictly prohibited." Old Yang''s voice grew serious. " Not to mention, if such a thing got caught, the Imperial Family would take strict action."


    " Well, I believe there are a lot of loopholes in thew." Jia Hao shrugged. " No way these hundred year old families aren''t having some hidden armies or weaponry."


    Old Yang smiled bitterly, silently acknowledging Jia Hao''s words. However, Jia Hao no longer concerned himself with that. Turning around, he walked to the line.


    Sincew enforcement and judgment handled by Cai Yunhai, a lot of people gathered here to seek help from him. From the smallestint of cattle getting lost to other problems, everyone is swarming here.


    " Damn, Why do I feel rather than an opportunity, The Imperial Family gave a leash on Cai Family?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but hiss.


    " Well, His Highness did give an order like that." Old Yang looked at the busy official. " The Golden Embroidery Guards shall assess Patriarch Cai''s performance of this week. If he doesn''t do well¡­His power as a magistrate would be reduced."


    " So, Not only we going to lose our army, we are also going to lose reputation and power, huh?" Jia Hao clicked his tongue. " But then, What are the benefits?"


    " It''s not clearly stated, but I believe His Majesty won''t treat Patriarch Cai bad."


    " What a devious scheme. Trying to make us lose both chicken and eggs."Jia Hao mumbled as he shook his head. " Anway, Where is Yixue?"


    " Youngdy went outside to overseer some matters. She will soone back." Old Yang nodded. " It''s already time for the Magistrate Hall to close. I shall go and drive out these people."


    " Very well, I shall go out and roam around the market a bit then."


    " Young Master, Please don''t go to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that. " Do I look like a lustful pervert who visits a brothel every single day?"


    Old Yang only smiled meekly. However, that snicker and distrust behind that smile really hurt Jia Hao.


    " No need to remind me. I won''t go there." Jia Hao felt annoyed as he turned to leave.


    Using the Water Carrying Steps, he swiftly traversed on the road, arriving at the main market in Nanhai City. Walking around, he soon noticed the tea house that belonged to the Cai Family.


    He was surprised because he saw the Cai Family carriage outside. '' Yixue came here?''


    With curiosity, he walked to the shop, finding Cai Yixue talking with the workers of the teahouse.


    Suddenly, seeing everyone''s gaze, Cai Yixue turned around, and saw Jia Hao walking inside.


    " You are back?"


    " Good evening, Wife. Did you miss me?" Jia Hao grinned as he looked at Cai Yixue.


    As a top notch beauty in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, Cai Yixue truly looked breathtaking with her light green robe with hair tied into a ponytail.


    She blushed a bit as she turned away, trying not to show her flush. " En, Where did you go? Did you bring the things we requested?"


    " Hehe, Of course. I got the things in the cart." Jia Hao chuckled. Cia Yixue raised her brows. " Well? I don''t think we brought anything in my cart?"


    " Err¡­ I received the things outside, so I loaded them into the cart." Jia Hao scratched his head as he replied. " Anyway, What are you doing here?"


    " I check the bun shop and the teahouse once every month." Cai Yixue sighed. " And as I suspected, the profit is null and the loss has increased."


    " Oh? The reason?" Jia Hao crossed his arms as he took a seat.


    " First, there are better ces around here to eat. The quality of food is also better." Cai Yixue replied.


    " So, Why not hire better cooks?"


    " Because they are rare and monopolized." Cai Yixue rolled her eyes. " Take Imperial Chefs and their disciples for example. Almost any disciple who gets approval of Imperial Cheft gets immediately scouted."


    " The sry of these cooks can range from a thousand tael of gold to five thousand taels of gold."


    " And not to mention, a single chef can''t do anything. We need to hire multiple chefs if we want to keep this ce running."


    " We are already running in lose here, how can we spend more than ten thousand taels of gold every month on chefs."


    Jia Hao''s lips twitched when he heard that.


    '' These ignorant folks eating shit food and paying ten thousand taels of gold to the chefs?''


    " Our chef here, is he loyal?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue. Cai Yixue was surprised for a moment before nodding.


    " Very well, Let me show you a special dish."


    Jia Hao rolled his sleeves as he walked to the kitchen. With his sauces, spices, and all the recipes in his mind, he decided to make something simple yet delicious.

 Chapter 116: Tasty Dish

    Marinate the chicken with sauce, brine, and spices and let it rest for a while. After that, Jia Hao crushed the noodles into fine bits and cracked an egg.


    After that, he took out the chicken and coated it with flour, then dipped it in egg and coated it with fine noodles bits. After that, he deep fried them in oil.


    In the meantime, he boiled noodles in another pot and took it out. Then sliced onions and veggies and stir fried them in a pot with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a dash of chili paste.


    '' Damn, I guess choosing Swift Dagger Art was really a good choice. My knife proficiency increased quite a lot.'' Jia Hao was amazed when he perfectly sliced the veggies and onion.


    He slowly cooked them, making a light soup, and then added some extra spices. After that, he took a bowl served the soup, and put the noodles inside it.


    And top of it, he ces the stripes of fried chicken with sliced boiled eggs.


    " Here, Have this."


    It was a fool proof katsudon recipe he learned quite a long time ago. After all, cooking is a basic survival skill that everyone should have.


    Everyone''s eyes shone when they saw the bowl of katsudon. The aroma, the presentation, and everything was simply top notch.


    " This¡­ This smells so good."


    A middle aged man with a thick beard came forward as he looked at the bowl with curiosity. "Son-inw Jia, You know how to cook?"


    " Why wouldn''t I know?" Jia Hao replied instinctively. But then, he realized it was indeed a bit absurd.


    This the era of feudalism. Maids and servants are here to do every bidding of their masters. One just need to have enough money and influence and they don''t even have to lift a finger to get their work done.


    '' Therefore, Not even most nobledies know how to cook, let alone males. Only those who have talent and willingness to cook go on the path of a chef.''


    " I am Liang Wei, the head cook of this ce." Liang Wei cupped his fist. " I have to admit, I didn''t expect Young Lord Jia to be a cook."


    " So, May I¡­"


    " Chef Liang, Please go ahead." Jia Hao nodded without any hesitation. " After all, You need to eat this dish to understand how the vor works."


    Taking the chopsticks, Liang Wei took a piece of fried chicken and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his hands trembled as he almost dropped the chopsticks.


    " This¡­This¡­"


    Suddenly, it was like Liang Wei was in a trance. He didn''t care about the blowing steam on the bowl. He hurriedly blew it and took another bite.


    He also ate the noodles and drank the soup. It barely took him any time before finishing the entire bowl.


    Cai Yixue also wanted to take a bite. However, as an elegantdy, she couldn''t ask that directly.


    However, as she was thinking of signaling to Jia Hao, Liang Wei already finished eating the entire bowl.


    '' This¡­Damn it. Is it really that good?'' Cai Yixue was speechless. Jia Hao turned around and saw a hostile and jealous gaze from Cai Yixue.


    '' Eh? What''s with her?'' He couldn''t help but be confused. However, at that moment, Liang Wei suddenly fell to his knees on the floor.


    " Chef Liang!"


    " Are you alright?"


    Everyone couldn''t help but be rmed when they saw that. Even Jia Hao couldn''t help but take a step back. '' Damn, I didn''t add any poison though?''


    " This¡­This food is so¡­Delicious!" Tears streamed down from his face as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " The spices, the sauce¡­They feel so otherworldly. I have never tasted such a chicken. It''s crispy outside, yet so tender and juicy inside."


    " I¡­I am sorry, I just couldn''t stop myself."


    Seeing the intense reaction of Liang Wei, everyone was shocked, looking at Jia Hao in a new light.


    " Well, I guess Chef Liang liked it then." Jia Hao smiled. " Now, Why don''t you guess the ingredients from the vor?"


    He ced the sauces before Liang Wei, allowing him to taste them. When he tasted the soy sauce, his eyes couldn''t help but brighten up.


    " This¡­this feels like soy paste. However, this juice feels more vorful than that crude paste."


    " This¡­this feels fishy¡­like ms. The texture is thick with a breath of ocean."


    " And¡­Oh goodness, This is so spicy." Liang Wei coughed a bit when he tasted the chili paste sauce. " But¡­This really adds a good kick in the food."


    " And¡­ Huh?" He was surprised when he saw the ck power. " ck pepper? Young Lord Jia, You actually got ck pepper?"


    " Huh? I thought ck pepper was supposed to bemon here?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " It used to be as it imported from the west." Liang Wei nodded. " But a few decades ago, the path was infested with monsters, making the import of ck pepper limited."


    " That''s why, it became a luxury spice, only a few nobility and high end restaurant uses them."


    " I see¡­" Jia Hao nodded when he saw Liang Wei''s eagerness. Even if his cooking might be mediocre, Jia Hao realized Liang Wei had a good quality. It was the willingness to learn.


    After he familiarized himself with all the sauces and spices, Jia Hao looked at him with a smile. " Well then, Chef Liang, If we use these things in our dishes, would it be popr?"


    " This¡­Of course, Young Lord." Liang Wei nodded hastily. " Such a tasty dish will be explosive in a few days here. So, you don''t need to worry about the selling."


    " Very well, That''s what I want to hear." Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction.


    " So, I am leaving a portion of these things here. I hope you keep practicing with the recipe I am going to give to you." Jia Hao gave him a small notebook.


    " Young Long, Have faith in me." Liang Wei spoke with determination. " However, I believe I would be able to learn everything if instructed properly."


    " I hope you do." Jia Hao nodded. But then, he turned around, seeing Cai Yixue standing in silence.


    " Err¡­Wife?"


    " Ah¡­Yes." Cai Yixue nodded. " I guess we should go back now?"


    " Why?"


    Jia Hao grinned as he crossed his arms. Cai Yixue looked at him with confusion. " What do you mean?"


    " Well, I prepared another bowl for you¡­But I guess you don''t want to eat~"


    " No, Wait!"


    Everyone looked at Cai Yixue with a weird gaze, making her feel awkward.


    " Ahem¡­I mean¡­Wasting food isn''t good." Cai Yixue coughed lightly," So, Let me taste your cuisine."


    " Hehe¡­"


    Jia Hao gave a cheeky grin as he served another bowl to Cai Yixue. The moment Cai Yixue took the first bite¡­she couldn''t just stop anymore.


    " This is so delicious!"

 Chapter 117: Wife? Do You Not Trust Me?

    After a while, Cai Yixue regained her posture as she looked a bit embarrassed.


    " What is it, Wife? Is the food was not up to your liking?" Jia Hao asked with a faint smile. Cai Yixue blushed as she shook her head.


    " No¡­It was ¡­good." After that, she hurriedly changed the topic. " Anyway, I believe the sauces and spices you have bought might flip the table."


    " However, we also need to set appropriate pricing for dishes like these. The sauces and spices must be very expensive after all¡­"


    " Who said that?" Jia Hao interjected. " You don''t need to worry about the price at all. All you need to do is the price these dishes as cheap as possible in the beginning."


    " We can slowly increase the price afterward."


    " You don''t care about the loss?" Cai Yixue nces at Jia Hao. " The cost of these things, the transportation and sealing cost¡­"


    " Hehe, My wife, as I said, I already took care of the." Jia Hao grinned. " So, All you have to do is to attract the customers."


    " I¡­Fine, We shall talk about itter." Cai Yixue rubbed her forehead as she walked out. " It''s alreadyte. Let''s return."


    " Eh? But I just came back though?" Jia Hao chuckled a bit. " Why not walk around the market?"


    " Hm, Since you want that¡­I canply." Cai Yixue nodded after some thought.


    With a smile, Jia Hao held Cai Yixue''s palm, making her face go all red. " Wa-Wait, Don''t hold my hands like this."


    " Why not?" Jia Hao didn''t let her palm go and squeezed a bit more. " You are my wife after all."


    " Bu-But!!"


    " Well, Let''s go now." Jia Hao chuckled as he held Cai Yixue and dragged her away.


    Seeing Jia Hao and Cai Yixue, even the pedestrians couldn''t help but nce at them.


    A handsome young man with a schrly appearance, and an elegant beauty who looked detached from the mortal world, both of them made quite a pair.


    " Whoa? Who is that pair?"


    " Isn''t that¡­ First Young Lad of Cai Family?"


    " Ah, Don''t you know? She already married to someone?" That young man must be the Live in Son In Law of the Cai Family."


    " Tsk, He does look good. His luck is simply amazing."


    " Haah, Only if I was in his ce."


    Jia Haoughed inwardly as he held Cai Yixue''s hand even more dearly, letting the world know about his beautiful wife.


    '' Yes, Cry more, losers. Allow me to harvest some desire qi.''


    However, as they were walking down, Jia Hao saw a ce where arge amount crowd debating about something.


    " What''s happening there?"


    " That ce? It looks like a big shop." Cai Yixue frowned a bit before understanding. " Ah, they are there to purchase salt."


    " So many people? Is salt not avable here?" Jia Hao spoke with a baffled voice.


    " No? It''s a raremodity, strictly controlled by the Imperial Family and some authorized families. A half a jin of salt is worth a tael of gold."


    '' That means a hundred silver for two hundred and fifty grams of salt? This is outrageous.'' Jia Hao was baffled.


    However, he realized that it was not impossible.


    This might be because the Yan Kingdom is nowhere near the sea, making them import salt from a distance. Not to mention, the preservation of salt is also another thing, making transportation harder.


    " Well? Then what if we start the salt business?" Jia Hao asked Cai Yixue.


    " We need to gain permission from Imperial Family. Then, we need another round of various permits. After that, we also need to pay the taxes for restriction along with taxes gained from the profits of the salt business."


    " Alright." Jia Hao nodded. " It''s more troublesome than I thought."


    " But the thing is, where are we going to find salt? Most of the saltes from the high north and the saltyke."


    As they were walking while chatting, Jia Hao''s eyes suddenly squinted. He saw a person walking down on the road, with another familiar face on his side.


    It was none other than Lei Qinzhu, who walked behind that man with his head bowed. Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao looked at that man to gain his information.


    [ Name: Sang Qian]


    [ Age: 56]


    [ Remark: The leader of Crimson Dagger Dojo and half step Innate Realm practitioner of blue internal qi]


    [ Recent Future Point: After two days, he will die from the poison of Violet Smoke Grass, making Lei Qizu the leader of Crimson Dagger Dojo]


    Jia Hao was rmed when he saw the recent future point of Sang Qian. It was because he knew how he got poisoned by Violet Smoke Grass.


    '' Is that the herb Lei Qinzhu traded with a merchant? Could it be¡­''


    Looking at Lei Qinzhu, he also used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Recent Future Point: After half an hour, Lei Qingzhu shall go and purchase a Bottle of Energy Refinement Pill and a bottle of aphrodisiac in the third left alley in the fourth block]


    " What happened? Why did you stop?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao.


    " Nothing, Just brooding over some things." Jia Hao chuckled. " Do you know about the Crimson Daggers Dojo?"


    " They? They could be considered as a martial arts dojo who does various sorts of ck and white things in Nanhai City." Cai Yixue replied.


    " But their main earninges from retrieving loans, hunting monsters, and taking bounty missions."


    " Bounty missions?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but get interested. " What are they? How do they work?"


    " You see that ce? There is a board where people put their requests. It''s secretly managed by Imperial Family though." Cai Yixue spoke.


    " Thew enforcement order is much shabby than you think. If something got stolen or lost, people would rather ce their bounty there than go tow enforcement hall and file aint."


    " However, serious crimes like murder, or other grave illegal activities still attract local government attention, which is now, my father is in charge."


    " I see¡­ Thank you, Wife, for telling me so many things." Jia Hao smiled. " How about you return back?"


    " You aren''ting?"


    " No, I won''t being with you. I found something interesting." Jia Hao smiled mysteriously. " So, I will be a bitte."


    " Going to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion¡­"


    " ¡­. "


    Jia Hao''s mysterious charm shattered in that instance. " Wife, How can you say that? Do you have no faith in your husband?"


    Cai Yixue pursed her lips as she looked at Jia Hao. She didn''t reply, but her expression said everything.


    '' This girl¡­''


    Jia Hao became speechless. '' Why do everyone think me as a pervert?''

 Chapter 118: Bait And Kill

    " Lei Qinzhu, How is your progress is going?"


    " Master, I have sessfullyprehended the secondyer of Crimson Frenzy de Arts."


    " Not bad. However, you are stillcking a bit with your internal qi. You need to reach Mid stage of Profound Awakening Realm to sessfully use the secondyer of Crimson Frenzy de Arts." Sang Qian replied.


    " Master, About Miss Qiuliu¡­"


    " No need to worry about her. As you know her wish, you need to work hard to fulfill it."


    " But Master, the thirdyer¡­" Lei Qinzhu only spoke, but Sang Qian gave him a stare. " Qinzhu, As I said earlier, You aren''t prepared for the thirdyer yet."


    " You need to reach the Advance stage of Profound Awakening Realm without the thirdyer. Only then you are able to use it."


    " But¡­"


    " I believe I have said enough."


    " I¡­I understand, Master." Lei Qinzhu replied with a lowered voice, lowering his head.


    '' Hmph, Bastard, You are keeping the good thing away from me, huh? Soon, the poison I gave to you will work. And, Heh¡­The dojo and your daughter would be mine.''


    " Recently, I am not feeling well. I feel like my internal qi is getting clogged." Sang Qian sighed as he turned around.


    " Master, This isn''t good. We should return back to the dojo and you must take some rest." Lei Qinzhu spoke in a worried voice.


    " As for the doctor, I shall ask someone toe."


    " Well, Since I already came here¡­"


    " Master, Miss Qiuliu must be getting worried. We should return." Lei Qinzhu replied. " Not to mention, if you need anything, I will get it right away."


    " Is that so?" Sang Qian nodded. " There is an important thing to do today. We are supposed to collect 50,000 taels of gold from one of the businesses."


    " Ah, I know about that. I shall take care of it." Lei Qingzhu looked at his subordinates and nodded. " Master, I have some work to do. So, Let me escort you back."


    " En¡­"


    After returning, Lei Qinzhu draped a ck cloak and hurried out of the dojo. Navigating his path, he soon reached the dark alley, finding a hooded person waiting in the darkness.


    " Haha, I hope I wasn''tte, yes?" Lei Qinzhuughed a bit as he gazed at the person. However, the hooded person didn''t reply.


    Lei Qinzhu frowned a bit as he saw the hooded figure walking towards him silently. As he ced his hands in his sleeves, Lei Qinzhu grabbed the short sword on his waist.


    However, all the hooded figure did was take out a box and open it.


    " Haha¡­ I see¡­" Lei Qingzhu couldn''t help but curse himself for being too paranoid. " You have brought the things I asked for you, huh?"


    " A bottle of Pink Moon Powder and a bottle of Energy Refinement Pills, Yes?"


    The hooded figure nodded silently, closing the box. Lei Qinzhu couldn''t help but get annoyed. " Fine, I know the Pink Moon Powder is an illegal drug. But you can''t just be this discreet. You think I will snitch on you? You weren''t silent before?"


    However, the hooded figure only shrugged as gestured Lei Qinzhu to give him the price. With a grumble, Lei Qingzhu searched around for a bit before pulling out a stack of gold bills and gave to the hooded figure.


    " Here, Keep this. 80,000 taels of gold for both of them."


    The hooded figure nodded as he took the money. As he was about to pass the box to Lei Qinzhu, something strange happened.


    " Huh?"


    Like a magic trick, the box vanished, reced with a shiny dagger with an exquisite pattern on its de. Like a smooth flow, the dagger shot towards his neck like a sh of lightning.


    " KNHURKKH!"


    Blood sprayed out, but all Lei Qinzhu could do was clutch the crimson hole in his neck without being able to utter a single sound.


    " Well well, What do we have here?"


    Lin Qinzhu''s eyes turned wide when he saw the figure removing the hood. He recognized him! It was none other than Jia Hao.


    " What? Speechless, are you?" Jia Hao wiped the blood from his damascus knife as he looked at Lei Qinzhu.


    " If you are thinking the bodyguards outside woulde here to save you, you are gravely mistaken. " Jia Hao grinned, making him look utterly demonic under the moonlight.


    " After all, How could they know their young master is facing danger if you can''t shout?"


    " Now, Die peacefully, and thanks for this aphrodisiac." Jia Hao rubbed his palm, putting away that dagger in the Pot of Miracle.


    " I will use it on the woman you are going to use. After all, How can I let your beloved feel cold after your death?"


    Lei Qinzhu could only gurgle as he fell to the ground, looking at Jia Hao with utter hatred, anger, and sorrow. Not long after, his body stopped twitching and the light in his eyes faded.


    Jia Hao took the corpse and threw it into the pot.


    As he knew the future of Lei Qinzhu, Jia Hao came earlier and ambushed the dealer who was supposed to meet Lei Qinzhu. After that, he wore his robe and made a deal with Lei Qinzhu, waiting for the right moment to strike.


    With his strength, Jia Hao was confident to face off against Lei Qinzhu easily. However, why work so much when you can simply ambush your enemy and kill him?


    [ Host can pick Four out of these Six attributes]


    [ Crimson Frenzy de Arts (Medium)]


    [ Iron Sand Palm Technique (Low)


    [ Calligraphy (Medium)]


    [ Fleeting Steps (Medium)]


    [ Negotiation (Medium)]


    [ Whip Kick (Very Low)]


    '' Huh? The pot is giving me more chances to pick the skills, eh?'' Jia Hao was surprised.


    But without any dy, he picked Crimson Frenzy de Arts, Fleeting Steps, Negotiation, and of course¡­Calligraphy.


    '' Haah, I finally got the calligraphy skill. Now, My handwriting won''t look like shit.'' Jia Hao sighed in relief as he turned around to leave.


    [ Ding! The Pot of Miracles absorbed enough energy. It will take six hours to reach the secondyer]


    Jia Hao nodded when he heard the voice in his head. Without dying, he turned around and left hurriedly.


    '' Not bad, This Fleeting Step is pretty fast. Not to mention, the good thing about this is that the sound of my footsteps is almost zero.''


    He didn''t care about his murders, because he already collected their corpses. And without their body, both of them would only suspected as missing.


    Soon enough, he reached the Cai Family Manor. When he walked inside, he saw Cai Yixue sitting among a pile of files.


    " Wife, You should take some rest."

 Chapter 119: Past and Future

    Raising her head, Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " You have returned. What were you doing?"


    " Just removing some problems." Jia Hao smiled. " Wife, What are you doing here?"


    " Nothing, just reading the various reports filed by the officials. Surprisingly, A lot of crime happens in Nanhai City, more than we expected."


    " Rather than the small ones, I am looking at the bigger ones, seeing if we can do anything to solve them." Cai Yixue sighed. " After all, His Majesty would be evaluating the performance of Father."


    " Don''t worry about it, we shall see tomorrow." Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice. After all, he was confident to solve some cases thanks to his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    " But, I need to¡­"


    " Wife, Come with me."


    Cai Yixue raised her face and looked at Jia Hao. With a sigh, she put down everything neatly and got up, following him to the bedroom.


    " Hehe, I can seeyou are no longer feeling awkward sleeping beside me."


    Jia Hao chuckled when he saw Cai Yixue getting on the bed. Cai Yixue blushed a bit as she looked away. " Hmmm¡­We are still sleeping separately though."


    " For now¡­ Not forever." Jia Hao reminded her with a mischievous smile.


    " Good night, Wife."


    " En, Good night."


    Jia Hao turned around and slept. However, a burst of starlight appeared above him and a silver thread entered his head.


    Cai Yixue looked at the sleeping figure of Jia Hao with pursed lips as she also rxed her body and going to sleep.


    When the sun rose, Jia Hao slowly woke up, rubbing his eyeszily.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, but Jia Hao suddenly woke up, finding himself in a strange dark ce, with grey mist slowly rising from the ground.


    " Traveler with immense fortune, you finally managed to repair the firstyer of Pot of Miracles."


    The voice echoed, which felt neither manly nor feminine. However, it touched the chords in Jia Hao''s heart, like a voiceing from the universe itself.


    " Who are you? Something like the artifact spirit of Pot of Miracle?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " For a human, you are rather far too¡­calm and collected. Your soul¡­It''s simply too strange for a human."


    " Well, That''s t he reason why I got you." Jia Hao grinned.


    " You are right." The voice echoed. " You can consider me as an artifact spirit. And to your concern, I am not a beautiful and voluptuous artifact spirit¡­at least for now."


    '' Heh? Can it read my mind?'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly before asking again. " Very well, So, Are you going to help me from now on?"


    " I am afraid I can''t. I might be after you finish repairing the thirdyer." The voice echoed. " For now, I don''t have much time¡­Else I might catch their attention."


    " From now on, I shall exin a few new functions to you."


    " First, your Sage''s Divine Eyes shall improve further."


    " Secondly, the pool of Chaos Energy will increase to three hundred from one hundred. And additionally, you shall unlock the Energy Point bar which will make your item enchantment easier."


    " Thirdly, You need to be careful of being affected by too much karma and noticed as abnormality from the World Laws."


    " This is a Four Directional Weight. You always need to maintain a bnce and not let your side be too heavy."


    " If you do so, they the World Law will trigger your karma, and you will die."


    " As for the rest, I won''t exin to you, as you are smart enough to know by yourself."


    " I shalle back after you finish repairing the secondyer."


    " Huh? Wait! How am I going to repair it? How much do you need this time?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " Fifty Advance Grade Innate Masters or higher, and a lot of various energy stones, monster beast cores, or natural treasures."


    Jia Hao''s face turned pale when he heard that. Fifty Innate Masters is already a powerful force in the Great Yan Kingdom. And this dumb pot wants him to kill and feed them to it?


    '' Not to mention, I don''t think monster core from low level monsters would even work anymore. Fuck, This is going to be hard.''


    With a foul mood, Jia Hao didn''t check the new rewards as he exited from that ce.


    His body rxed as his dream slowly changed. And just like that, dawn arrived.


    " Strange¡­I had a strange dream. It was like¡­a tree vine hugging around my waist tightly." Jia Hao murmured.


    " Young Lord Jia, Have you woken up?"


    Minmin''s voice echoed as Jia Hao saw heing with a water basin.


    " En, Wife wake up quite early, no?"


    " Of course, Young Lady has always been an early bird." Minmin ced the basin before Jia Hao, helping him to clean his face.


    " Young Lord, You are quite a deep sleeper, don''t you?" Minmin asked Jia Hao with a strange expression.


    " Huh? Why do you say so?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " I mean, I am, I think?"


    " No, It''s nothing." Mingmin pursed her lips as she shook her head. " It''s already dawn, the people must have already started to gather in the Law Enforcement Office."


    " Ah, Yes¡­How did I forget about that?" Jia Hao''s eyes shone as he pped his palm.


    After getting ready hurriedly, he walked to the Law Enforcement Hall in the Cai Family household.


    Seeing the crowd had already started toe, the Cai Family guards stood vigntly, maintaining discipline.


    Jia Hao stood leisurely as he remembered the words of the Pot of Miracles from yesterday.


    He used his Sage''s Divine Eyes, trying to see the new upgrade.


    [ Name: Lin Bing]


    [ Age: 32]


    [ Remark: Merchant in Nanhai City. Eighth stage of Body Strengthening Realm]


    [Recent Past Points: Click to expand]


    [ Recent Future Points: After two months, he would be forced to escape from Nanhai City due to being unable to repay debt to the ck Bear Gang]


    Out of curiosity, he opened the Recent Past Point. But then, he felt his head buzzed and a strange weakness in his body, as if something little had been drained.


    [ A week ago, Lin Bing''s carriage full of goods was secretly stolen by ck Bear Gang. Without that good, Lin Bei was unable to get money to pay back his debt]

 Chapter 120: Troublesome Murder Case

    Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide when he saw that. '' Damn it! Does that mean I can view everyone''s information like an archive? Their past and future¡­This is so amazing!''


    Using his ability, he started to look at other people. He realized another upgrade to his Sage''s Divine Eyes. It was the multiple Recent Future Points.


    For example, he looked at a person and saw a different kind of Recent Future Point.


    [ Recent Future Point: 1. Three dayster Lang Bing''s son will break his leg, making him lie on the bed for a month.


    [ 2. One monthter, His son would identally trip on a pot near his house, finding a thousand taels of gold]


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he continued the experiment. However, after a while, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes, making him disable his ability.


    '' Ugh, This¡­I feel a bit¡­exhausted.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly. He realized that the Sage''s Divine Eyes was using his mental energy or his energy of soul to give better results.


    '' But I guess I just need to rest a bit before being able to use it again. For now, Let''s focus on more important cases.''


    Without waiting, Jia Hao walked towards the Magistrate Hall.


    " Useless! Everyone here is useless!"


    Jia Hao almost jumped from a scare when he heard the thunderous shout. Walking in, he saw Cai Yunhai sitting and shouting at his subordinates.


    " You are interrogating him for two days, and you got nothing?!"


    " Sir, He has the perfect alibi of that day. And other than that, we don''t have any clue regarding the criminal."


    " Not to mention, we can''t simply torture him as per the rule of Great Yan Kingdom."


    " You¡­."


    Cai Yunhai''s lips twitched when he heard that. " Alright, You can go and bring him to the courtroom today also. We shall see what we can do."


    " Yes, Magistrate Cai."


    " What happened, Father in Law?" Jia Hao chuckled as he walked to him. " I believe the job of magistrate is harder than it looks, no?"


    " Heh, Do you alsoe here to take joy in my plight?" Cai Yunhai grimaced.


    " Oh, I wish¡­" Jia Hao grinned. " However, If I do so, my wife won''t let me go."


    " Anyway, What''s this all about?"


    " Well, There are already a few cases which are already starting to take a toll on me." Cai Yunhai sighed. "The first case was of" First was merchant Lin Bing''s stolen goods."


    " If it was an ordinary theft, it would be passable. However, his carriage contained a five hundred year Earth Pulse Root. Such medicinal herb can easily cross the price of 50,000 taels of gold. Not to mention other precious goods."


    " It became even more tricky because Lin Bing is a rtive of the Official Han. And if Official Han''s impression goes down, City Lord Suo and others will use it against me."


    " However, there is even something more than that." Cai Yunhai sighed. " And, It''s a murder case."


    " Haah?"


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless. After all, his father inw just took the position of magistrate, yet there are already troublesome cases happening.


    " Actually, You don''t need to worry about Lin Bing." Jia Hao crossed his arms. " I know who stole his carriage."


    " Huh? What?"


    Cai Yunhai was dumbfounded when he heard that. " Ho-How could you know?"


    " Like I knew the whereabouts of Moonlight Rapist?" Jia Hao grinned. " However, for this murder case, I need to work a little bit."


    " Fine! It''s fine. We can solve each case one by one." Cai Yunhai is excited. " So, about Lin Bing¡­"


    " It''s the ck Bear Gang. However, I believe they must have hidden the goods somewhere safe, where no one can reach."


    " Then, What can we do?" Cai Yunhai frowned. " I can issue an arrest warrant. However, we can''t use any force on them at all."


    " Well, We can''t do it openly for sure." Jia Hao chuckled, " But since father inw already knows the culprit, he can utilize¡­other methods, no?"


    Cai Yunhai paused for a moment before tapping his finger on the table. " Well, I shall think about it."


    " But now, You need to see the murder case. It''s more troublesome than the theft of goods."


    " I understand, Father in Law. However, can you show me the files regarding the murder?"


    " Here they are." Cai Yunhai passed him a booklet. " There is another hearing at the court. You must be there to see it."


    " Alright."


    Jia Hao took the booklet and opened it, reading the observation regarding the murder.


    A wealthy family in the north side of the city belonged to Mr. Chu. He only had one daughter, who married a schr called Sun Jing.


    And three days ago, the dead body of Mr. and Mrs. Chu was found in their household.


    Now, the most immediate suspect is Sun Jing, because after the death of Mr. Chu, his properties were passed to him through Mr. Chu''s daughter. So, he had a solid motive for murder.


    However, Sun Jing has a perfect alibi on the night of the murder. He was drinking with his friend Cui Bang at a wine shop.


    '' Now, This isn''t an age of technology. Everything must be based on logic, proof, and people''s testimony. If two people coborate well with each other, they would evade most of the crime with ease.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Not to mention, thew of the Great Yan Kingdom forbids the torture of any suspected individual to give testimony. And, to keep it sure, the culprit has to admit guilty in the court, in front of the Magistrate, courtroom officials, and the ordinary folks who sat there to watch the drama.


    '' Now, What should I do?'' Jia Hao thought for a moment.


    " Ah, Since I can''t torture them physically, doesn''t mean I can''t y with their emotions." Jia Hao muttered with a grin.


    As he walked towards the main hall, he saw there were lot of people came to watch the judgement. He found a seat and watched the show.

 Chapter 121: Lightning Investigation

    In ancient times, there weren''t much entertaining things. There was nothing like TV, Movies or other things. Therefore, people''s entertainment became very limited and perhaps¡­twisted.


    For example, the execution of prisoners is considered as a great entertainment for ordinary folks. They even purchase seats for better viewing. And, The Imperial Family also takes money from this method.


    Simrly, the Magistrate Court is also a ce where people purchase tickets to secure seats to watch the court sessions.


    Since more than ? of ordinary folks here would not be able to visit the Imperial Court in their lifetime, they usually hold the Magistrate''s Court with importance.


    Slowly, the soldiers took two people into the courtroom, and both of them were confined with thick shackles.


    Cai Yunhai sat on the main seat, looking down at the suspect with a cold gaze. Official Zhang was the main questionnaire who walked before the suspects.


    " What''s your name?"


    " Sun Jing."


    " Why did you kill your father inw?"


    " My lord! I didn''t kill him!" Sun Jing shouted. " I wasn''t even at my home at that night."


    " Then where were you?"


    " At Yellow Tavern." Sun Jing replied before narrating his story. " I was there to meet my friend Cui Bang. We ate and drank a lot and I didn''te back before two hours after midnight whistle."


    " However, when I went back, I saw a crowd gathered outside." Saying that Sun Jing''s eyes turned moist. " My¡­My father inw was such a good man. Why? Why someone would kill him?"


    " You were with with Cui Bang?" Official Zhang looked at the shackled Cui Bang. " What about you?"


    " He is telling the truth." Cui Bang nodded. " I usually go to the Yellow Tavern. And that evening was no special. I took Sun Jing with me and drank for a long time."


    " And, you can ask some customers there too."


    Official Zhao nodded as he called the tavern owner. And the tavern owner nodded saying that he saw both of them renting a small personal cubicle before leaving after midnight.


    " Sun Jing! Don''t you dare to lie! Do you not know about the consequences of murder?"


    " I know, My lord." Sun Jing was helpless. " However, How can I do it? Why would I kill my father inw?"


    Jia Hao sighed as he used his Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Art on him.


    '' As expected, both Cui Bang and Sun Jing came here prepared. Their testimonies match with each other. Not to mention, the shop owner saw both of them together.''


    '' Hmm, this is going to be tricky. But it''s not impossible.'' Jia Hao nodded as he stood up.


    " Magistrate Cai, May I try a little bit of my ability?"


    Cai Yunhai saw it was Jia Hao and nodded with approval. " Very well, you may go."


    Many people became confused when they saw Jia Hao walking towards the suspects. After all, many of them here never saw Jia Hao before.


    " Who is he?"


    " Is he going to question the suspects?"


    " But they have such a strong alibi though?"


    " Let''s see what happens next."


    " Melon seeds! Spicy melon seeds! Anyone want to buy?"


    Jia Hao stood before Sun Jing as he nodded. Without questioning, he used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts, trying to agitate Sun Jing.


    " Sun Jing, Is it?" Jia Hao spoke in a cold voice. " How about this? Did you kill your inws? If you admit, your sentence might lessen."


    Sun Jing''s body trembled as he felt the emotions spiraling out. However, he gritted his teeth. " No¡­I¡­I didn''t kill them."


    " Ugh! My head, It feels¡­No¡­It feels so weird."


    Jia Hao was taken aback when he saw Sun Jing was fighting back against his hypnosis.


    '' He isn''t a Profound Awakening Realm Martial Artist. Yet, he is able to fight against my mild hypnosis?''


    '' Perhaps because people of Yun Continent are generally stronger than main world due to the presence of natural energy?''


    '' Since that''s the case, I won''t be able to use my power without driving Sun Jing mad. And if he talks in such a state, people would think that the prison guards tortured him to get confession.''


    Since the easy way is no longer avable, Jia Hao picked the hard way.


    " Well, Since you say so¡­Let''s admit you aren''t culprit, ok?" Jia Hao smiled amicably and patted Sun Jing''s shoulder.


    " You said you drank wine with Cui Bang, huh? What wine was it?"


    " The regr Yellow Rice Wine." Sun Jing replied.


    " Do you drink regr?"


    " Not regr, but quite often."


    " Did you ate anything with wine?"


    " Yes, stir fried salted fish."


    " Hmm, Do you eat salted fish in your home too? Does you wife cook it?"


    " Sometimes?" Sun Jing was dumbfounded, unable to think why Jia Hao asking such questions.


    " Where do you buy fish from?"


    " From Old Limp''s shop."


    " Is he your good friend?"


    " He knows me."


    " Do you get discount from his shop?"


    " A little?"


    " So, you guess you can talk with him casually?"


    " Indeed."


    " So, Does Old Limp knows you killed Mr. and Mrs. Chu?"


    " No? How could he¡­" Sun Jiang''s expression changed instantly.


    " I¡­I mean, I¡­I am innocent. But¡­He might have not¡­gotten the news."


    " Hoho, No need to be so nervous." Jia Haoughed lightly. However, Sun Jing''s slip of tongue made everyone gasp.


    " Well, Tavern Owner, Let me ask you something. You said they booked a private cubicle, yes?"


    " They did."


    " How many pot of wine they order?"


    " More than five."


    " You delivered them?" Jia Hao chuckled. " If so, did you enter the cubicle or one of them fetched the wine from outside?"


    " This¡­" The tavern owner was surprised. " Now you say¡­It was Cui Bang who fetched the wine?"


    " This¡­This was bacuse Sun Jing gets drunk a bit too easily." Cui Bang hurriedly spoke." So, I got the pots because¡­Sun Jing''s hands might slip and break them."


    " Well, Then¡­tavern owner didn''t notice Sun Jing was actually inside the cubicle or not. So, There is possibility that using Cui Bang as aplice, Sun Jing might have escaped and killed the Chu family couple and return to the tavern."


    " No! I didn''t kill them! I was in the tavern with Cui Bang!" Sun Jing started to recite like a parrot.


    " So, Cui Bang invited you or you just met in the road?"


    " I¡­We met in the road in evening. We did met each other fir a while, so¡­he invited me for a drink."


    " Sun Jing, You dare to lie before everyone?" Jia Hao shouted.


    " Then tell me, What did you do when you woke up that day in morning?"


    " I went to outside for my work!"


    " And in the night?"


    " After talking with my wife, I went to the tavern to drink with Cui Bang." Sun Jing was already sweating.


    " Lying again! Jia Hao raised his voice. " I am asking, What you did at that time?"


    " My lord, I am telling the truth! I went to tha tavern. Then Cui Bang and me talked and drank a lot!"


    " Bastard! I am asking what you did before killing Chu Family couple!?"


    " I talked with Cui Bang¡­"


    Sun Jing''s expression changed as he bit his tongue, pausing on the midway.


    Jia Hao''s grin turned wide as he patted Sun Jing''s shoulder again. However, each pat felt colder and colder to Sun Jing.


    " Sun Jing, You just said you and Cui Bang didn''t meet each other for a while, no?"

 Chapter 122: Balance of Worlds

    " Hehe, Have you finally stumped?" Jia Hao''s voice made Sun Jing tremble as he fell to his knees.


    Sure, Jia Hao can''t use an overwhelming amount of desire qi to hypnotize Sun Jing and let him admit his guilt. However, he can be overwhelmed with various questions, with each questionced with a bit amount of fear and guilt from desire qi.


    Like moisture slowly condenses into drops and drops condense into torrents, Jia Hao''s method slowly sowed seeds of doubts and fear in Sun Jing''s mind.


    And now, itpletely crumbled.


    " Hehe, Cui Bang, Sun Jing, I believe you can''t sleep at night, do you?" Jia Hao grinned deviously. " You look so pale and withered. Perhaps Mr. Chu is visiting you every night."


    " Repent and you might be able to leave. Otherwise, I know quite a lot of cases where hungry ghosts sapped the energy of humans¡­"


    " Sun Jing! Confess your sin! The heaven andherworld is watching your sin!"


    " I DID IT!"


    With a plop, Sun Jing fell to his knees, trembling violently. " It was me¡­I killed them."


    " They¡­ Damn it! They are already so old! Why can''t they part from their money?"


    " I¡­I only wanted to borrow twenty thousand taels of gold. How could they refuse?"


    " So¡­I¡­I did it."


    The crowd turned silent, the official''s eyes turned wide, and even Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but clench his fist from excitement.


    " Well, Everyone heard the testimony. Therefore, I have nothing else to say." Jia Hao turned around and walked out from the hall.


    '' As a wise person said, cool guys don''t look back at the explosion.''


    '' Don''t look back! Don''t look back!''


    " Goodness! What have I witnessed?"


    " He¡­He made them confess so easily!"


    " What a cunning young man. Is there someone like him among the officials?"


    " Hiss! You don''t know? He is the son inw of Magistrate Cai!"


    " What? Real?"


    " Ahem!"


    Cai Yunhai coughed a bit, making everyone silent. " Sun Jing, you defied filial piety and killed two human beings out of anger and jealousy. You shall be executed by beheading."


    " Meanwhile, Cui Bang, you helped Sun Jing in murder and even deliberately tried to help him, hindering the work of justice."


    " Therefore, Your arm shall severed and you shall be sent to a thousand miles in the southern direction."


    " Long live, Magistrate Cai!"


    " Long Live, His Majesty Emperor!"


    As Jia Hao returned to his room, he couldn''t help but ponder various things.


    '' In Azure Sea Star, the spiritual and mental strength of people are very less. Therefore, the Six Desires Myriad Thought Art works very well.''


    '' However, in Yun Continent, even normal people''s spirituality is higher. So,pletely mind controlling them requires quite a lot amount of desire qi.''


    Out of curiosity, he looked into the Pot of Miracles, seeing the Four Directional Karmic Weight.


    It was like a standing traditional weight, but like two of them merged into one. In the horizontal and vertical directions, there are a total of four weight tes.


    In two tes, there were white feathers. On the opposite of one feather, was Jia Hao''s figurine, with him wearing modern clothes. And on opposite of another feather, was also Jia Hao''s figurine.


    But here, he wore ancient clothes, like he is wearing right now.


    '' The feathers represent the worldws. The modern figurine represents my presence in Azure Sea while I in ancient clothes shows me in Yun Continent.''


    But, What are thew of the world? Jia Hao felt like he could see the basic patterns.


    For example, the Yun Continent is and of spiritual energy and strange monsters. It''s an ancient world that deviated from the path of urbanization.


    Therefore, if Jia Hao suddenly pulls out a rocketuncher from Azure Sea World and messes here, he will get targeted by the worldw of Yun Continent.


    Simrly, the Azure Sea World is an urban world, with technological and urban civilization. If Long Ming simply uses his overwhelming amount of power like internal qi and others, he will get noticed by the worldw of Azure Sea World.


    Not to mention, there are certain scripts which is the same as he saw in the game. So, he needs to follow the script and change them thoroughly, rather than using brute force to change them.


    '' But in regard, Yun Continent''sw isx. Even without any modern weapon, I can use supernatural power to kill and do anything.''


    He saw the bnce weight of Azure Sea World was bnced perfectly. As for the Yun Continent, the feather weighs slightly more.


    '' Hmm, No matter what, I need to maintain the bnce.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly. As he was thinking of resting or cultivating, a maid knocked on the door.


    " Young Lord Jia, Are you inside?"


    " What happened?" Jia Hao was confused. " Come in."


    " Ady wishes to meet you, Young Lord. She is standing outside of the Cai Family estate."


    " She said she is from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    Jia Hao was confused for a moment before his expression changed. '' Fuck! How did I forget about her?''


    He dashed outside, trying to search for thatdy.


    " You¡­You are the attendant of Xu Chen, No?" Jia Hao recognized her, looking at her with slight worry.


    " Is she alright?"


    " Young Master Jia, Lady Xu is currently in the city market. She wonders if the young master is free to give his concubine the chance to meet him?"


    " Is that what she said? Or you are just adding some butter?" Jia Hao''s lips twitched when he heard that.


    " It was something Lady Xu said. I didn''t add anything, Young Master." The maid pursed her lips before answering.


    " Alright, Lead the way. I shall go and see."


    " Very well, Young Master. Please follow me."


    .


    ..


    .


    Meanwhile, Cai Yixue was in her room, looking at the documents of the shops. At that moment, Minmin came rushing.


    " Young Lord¡­He actually solved the murder case!"


    " What?" Cai Yixue couldn''t help but ask with a shocked voice.


    " I am telling the truth. He made the culprit confess his sin. He acted so fast, like delivering justice like a lightning." Minmin''s eyes sparkled.


    " And, the way he left¡­It was so¡­amazing."

 Chapter 123: Jealous Women

    Cai Yixue couldn''t help but be stunned. She also saw Sun Jing''s case file. However, the alibi was too strong, making her think that Sun Jing might not be the culprit.


    But, not only did Jia Hao break their perfect alibi, he even made him confess on the spot. Cai Yixue couldn''t help but admire his ability.


    "I see, I also suspected that Cui Bang and Sun Jing are the murderers. However, there wasn''t any solid evidence regarding them."


    " But, he actually used his logic to make Sun Jing falter and give contradicting answers, making his lie exposed." Cia Yixue mumbled.


    " Haaah. Didn''t Lingzhi say Jia Hao appeared to be injured and lost his memories? How can he adjust¡­so well?"


    " Hehe, Young Lord is simply too enigmatic." Minmin pursed her lips. " As long as he says he can do it, he will do it perfectly."


    " Then let''s go. I need to talk to him about this." Cai Yixue got up and walked with Minmin to Jia Hao''s room.


    " Huh? Jia Hao''s isn''t here?" Cai Yixue was surprised when she heard the maid.


    " You are saying a woman from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion invited him out?" Minmin was annoyed as she asked again. " Was she beautiful? Was a courtesan?"


    " No, Sister Min, She looked like a maid. However, judging from her attire, her status as maid must be very high."


    " Retainer of a high ranking woman in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion¡­" Cai Yixue thought for a moment before understanding. " Could it be¡­ Xu Chen?"


    " Damn it, That little vixen." Minmin couldn''t help but clench her teeth. " Young Miss, should we go and¡­"


    " Leave it¡­ I still have some trust in Jia Hao." Cai Yixue replied. " Let hime back and exin it to me."


    Meanwhile, when Jia Hao reached the market area, the maid escorted him to a small restaurant.


    Jia Hao walked inside and saw a familiar person. He was none other than Wu Qingshu, the overseer of Divine Martial Hall.


    " Haha, It''s good to see you,d." Wu Qingshu looked at Jia Hao and grinned. " Come, Sit here."


    '' I thought it was Xu Chen?'' Jia Hao became confused for a moment before nodding, sitting before Wu Qingshu.


    " Thanks to you, we managed to find the fugitive of Xu Family secretly detained by the Shen Family." Wu Qingshu chuckled. " As I was escorting him back to Imperial Capital, someone requested to meet the prisoner."


    " Therefore, I am here. I shall only give you half an incense stick of time. After that, we shall depart."


    Jia Hao realized what happened. '' Ah, the Shen Family detained Xu Chen''s brother, using this chance to assault her. I gave the tip to Wu Qingshu in exchange for helping to catch the Moonlight Rapist.''


    With a nod, Jia Hao walked the upstairs and entered the private room.


    " Sister! I am such an unfilial bastard! Please, don''t let me live!"


    " Elder brother! Have you lost your mind?"


    A fight between a helpless man and the sobbing of a young woman filled Jia Hao''s ears. As he stepped in, Xu Chen adjusted herself as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Wee, Young Master Jia. I am d that you epted my invitation." Xu Chen bowed politely, her voice sweet as ever.


    " This is my elder brother, Xu Chengan. Thank you for saving him from the Shen Family''s clutches."


    Xu Chengan sat silently, looking at Jia Hao with aplicated expression. Perhaps he knew what sort of deal Xu Chen made with Jia Hao to let him escape.


    '' So what? Angry because I fucked your sister?''


    Jia Hao chose not to be a menace and swallowed his words.


    " But what about you, Chen?" Jia Hao looked at her. " That bastard from Shen Family¡­"


    " He indeed came to meet me." Xu Chen nodded. " With some trick, he managed to iste my room when he was talking with me."


    " However, as he tried to assault me, I used the dagger and technique you have given to me." A smile spread on her face. " Although I only grasped the first move superficially, with that dagger, it was enough for me to slice off his fingers."


    " I was already vignt. And when themotion happened, the guards of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion came rushing in. Thankfully, I managed to escape the disaster."


    " That bastard¡­One day, I will kill him personally." Her elder brother gritted his teeth when he heard that. Xu Chen shook her head. " No, Elder Brother¡­What you need to do is to stay alive in the prison. I have already talked with Lord Wu and he epted my proposal."


    " So, just stay safe and wait for the right time, alright?"


    " Sister, The pendent I gave to you, keep it safe." Her elder brother spoke in a grave voice. " Before everything went awry, Father gave it to me. And now, I am giving to you. Perhaps, this is the reason for our family''s misfortune."


    " But ording to Father, this might also save us. Therefore, you need to keep it safe."


    After saying that, he turned around, looking at Jia Hao with a deep gaze. " I don''t know what sort of deal you made with my sister. But I believe her judgment of people is never wrong."


    " No need to worry, Brother in Law. I will take care of Chen."


    " Wh-What? Brother in Law?" Xu Chengan''s expression changed. " Wh-How? What does this mean?"


    " Brother, Just¡­Leave it already!" Xu Chen couldn''t help but roll her eyes when she saw Jia Hao teasing Xu Chengan. " And you also, Young Master Jia. You mustn''t¡­say such words¡­"


    " Why? I love it though?"


    " Ugh!"


    " Alright, The time ended."


    Jia Hao turned around and saw Wu Qingshu. With a nod, Xu Chengan walked to him.


    " Elder Brother¡­"


    " Don''t cry, Chen. Otherwise I will be also sad." Xu Chengan spoke as he looked away, unable to gaze at the teary eyes of Xu Chen.


    As they left, Jia Hao turned around, looking at Xu Chen with a sigh. " Don''t worry, Chen. I believe in the future, you will be able to save your parents and brother."


    " I believe so, Young Master Jia." Xu Chen spoke. " Therefore, I would like you to thank you for giving me such opportunity."


    " Saying this, I hope you remain safe and sound. And don''t forget to practice your martial arts."


    " I will, Young Master."


    " Very well¡­ Shall I¡­"


    " No."


    A smile appeared on Xu Chen''s lips as she turned around. " My work here is done, Young Lord. I need to return back to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    " However, Before going, Please, take this."


    Jia Hao was surprised when Xu Chen handed the pendant to him. " Why are you giving this to me? It''s something you should keep safe."


    "Precisely because I can''t keep it safe, I am giving it to you." Xu Chen nodded. " I don''t know if there are any moles in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. So, I can only entrust this item to you."


    " Saying this, Even I don''t know the secret of this pendant. If Young Lord finds me, I hope he helps me to regain my family''s honor."


    Jia Hao held the pendant as he gave a nod. " Alright, I shall see what I can do."


    " Then, I shall take my leave, Young Lord." Xu Chen turned around to leave.


    " Besides, Having a wife like Cai Yixue, I believe Young Master doesn''t neet toe to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion often."


    '' Wh-What?'' Jia Hao became speechless when he heard that. '' Are you jealous?''


    '' Hehe, Do you want me toe to you often or note at all? Why are you soplicated?''


    Jia Hao sighed as he threw the pendant into his pot. As he returned back to the Cai Family estate, He felt a cold gush of air.


    " Wee back, Husband."


    " Umm¡­Wife?" Jia Hao''s face twitched when he saw Cai Yixue''s smile.


    " So, How was your visit? I hope the woman from Phoenix Cloud Pavilion indulged you."


    " Wife, That''s not what happened." Jia Hao hurriedly replied. " Listen to me."


    " No, I don''t want to hear any exnation. Didn''t I gave you permission to chase other women? Go, go ahead and do it."


    '' But, didn''t you say you trust him and wanted to hear what he has to say?'' Minmin tried to say it, but she swallowed her words in the end.


    When the evening fell, Cia Yunhai asked Jia Hao to meet him.


    " I have to admit it, Your brain is very sharp." Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " Father inw is overpraising me." Jia Hao smiled lightly as he bowed.


    " Where is my wine?"


    " Huh?"


    " I already praised you, shouldn''t you get it?"


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless. " Father inw. I don''t have any wine on me at this moment."


    " What?" Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but sigh in frustration. " Haah, I was waiting for it, yet you¡­Sigh, Anyway, I am d that you helped me today."


    " Thanks to you, the burden on me lessened quite a lot. And, ck Bear Gang also admitted their mistake. But due to some reasons, we aren''t making a fuss out of it."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao nodded.


    " I heard you want to set up a food business. Are you sure?"


    " Of course, Father in Law. I believe it would be a good source of our ie." Jia Hao spoke with a mild smile. " After all, the things we can provide aren''t something others can also."


    " Then, Let me ask you something." Cai Yunhai looked at him. " Why do you think I became Magistrate?"

 Chapter 124: Incoming Calamity

    Jia Hao tilts his head, looking at Cai Yunhai with confusion. " Well, I don''t understand quite a lot?"


    " Well, You should know, that the Magistrate''s title should be under City Lord''s control, right?" Cai Yunhai chuckled a bit. " But you see, the Imperial Family broke this rule and appointed me as the magistrate, making me an opposite force against the Suo Family."


    " Imperial Family wishes to decrease the power of Suo Family?" Jia Hao understood the crux of the matter.


    " Only only Suo Family, but our''s as well. It''s just His Majesty yed well." Cai Yunhai sighed. " They took a part of our Silver Lightning Cavalry to decrease our military power and with us here, We can keep the Suo Family in check."


    " Because the Suo Family is one of the backbones of the Province Governor. The Governer''s family has been ruling the province for more than a hundred years, making them consolidate quite some amount of power."


    " Not to mention, they are also a supporter of Zhenhai King."


    " Now, Who is he?"


    "He is the son of the current emperor''s grandfather''s sister. She conceived the child veryte, making him only ten years older than the current emperor."


    " Not to mention, he spent his earlier days fighting against northern nomads and demon races, repelling them from Great Yan Kingdom and garnering fame."


    " However, the previous emperor didn''t let him ascend the throne. But with his own power, Zhenhai King managed to get his title and form his own faction, which is only below to Emperor''s faction."


    " Someone who can bnce His Majesty unrestricted power. However, Zhenhai King can also insight a rebellion at the right time, making the main family fall." Jia Hao made a rough guess.


    " So, the Emperor is trying to undermine Zhenhai King''s power."


    " You are right." Cai Yunhai nodded. " In recent days, there are far too many problems arising."


    " The troubles between various families and sects, the emergence of dark monsters, people plotting conspiracies, this is truly a chaotic time."


    " Therefore, you must remain prepared, Jia Hao. Because, If anything happens, as the military family directly under His Majesty''smand, we shall bear the burnt first."


    " Then, What do you wish me to do, Father in Law?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    " I am thinking of training my soldiers once again. And this time, using the Hundred Army Battle Formation Technique you gave to me."


    " Father in Law is wise." Jia Hao nodded. " In the troubled times, only strength will help us. So, it''s good if we can increase our family''s power."


    After talking for an hour or more, Jia Hao gave some advice to Cai Yunhai. Even Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but praise Jia Hao when he heard his ingenious ideas.


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before using his Sage''s Divine Eyes on him. But this time, he couldn''t help but feel his heart turning cold.


    [ Recent Future Point: Three monthster, Cai Yunhai shall perish with his army in the Dark Forest in due to a monster tide]


    " Fa¡­Father in Law, What''s a monster tide?" Jia Hao suddenly asked, looking at Cai Yunhai.


    " Monster tide?" Cai Yunhai was intrigued. " Well, It''s been a while since I heard that. After all, thest monster tide happened was five years ago in another city."


    " It''s simply as it means, arge amount of dark monsters rush out from the dark mist, killing and devouring ordinary people. The more they devour, the more powerful they be."


    " However, it lessened by a vast amount since the Great Yan Kingdomunched a military campaign against them, reducing the dark forest and its monsters. The only ces filled with dark monsters are out of ordinary man''s reach anyway."


    " Then what about Nanhai City?" Jia Hao asked again. " Is it safe?"


    " Of course?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao strangely. " The Twisted Dark Forest is sealed off by the Nanhai Mountain range. Even if a monster tide appears, we can simply know it way ahead of time."


    " Because, a lot of adventurers and hunters go to Twisted Dark Forest. So, the amount of dark monsters remains in check."


    '' Damn it, Then what the hell is going to happen in three months? To incite a monster tide?''


    '' No, No matter what, I must start preparing for now.''


    If not for his upgraded Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao wouldn''t have known such a thing was going to happen. Currently, Cai Yunhai is the pir of the Cai Family.


    His brother is currently guarding the northern borders. If something happens to Cai Yunhai, The Cai Family will crumble before General Cai Yang returns from the northern border.


    '' But before I do anything, I should gather as much as information I have to. Only after getting theplete future scenario, I would be able to prevent this disaster.''


    " Father in Law, Then I shall take my leave." Jia Hao turned around and left. However, his mind was still in turmoil. He looked for Old Yang and few of Cai Yunhai''s subordinates.


    Sure enough, he saw everyone''s Recent Future Point and all of them showed the incident of monster tide three monthster.


    With a sigh, Jia Hao adjusted his mind and returned back to his room, Sitting on afy chair, he pondered about various things.


    '' Well, If something like thates, what do I need first? Weapons and armors, medicines for healing and detoxification, techniques and strength¡­Arranging everything in just three months would be¡­a bit hard.''


    '' Not, It might not be. Because¡­I have the Pot of Miracle!''


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before putting his mind to the Pot of Miracles.


    [ Current Refinement: 1styer finished]


    [ Next Repairing Cost]


    [ Blood and soul energy: 0/50 Innate Realm Masters]


    [ Chaos Energy: 70/300]


    [ Miracle Points: 1000]


    '' Eh? What''s Miracles Points?'' Jia Hao saw the new thing as he couldn''t help but surprised.


    [ Miracle Points: As long as the Host inputs energy into the pot, it will be transformed into Miracle Points: Using Miracle Points, Host can create items which has been previously made by Pot of Miracle using its recipe]


    [ Damascus Knife: Millenium Cold Iron+ Red Vein Charcoal+400 Miracle Points]


    [ Holy Radiance Torch: 1 Torch+1 high grade Holy Light Stone+Wood of Luminous Holy Tree. Creation cost 1000 Miracle Points]


    [ Energy Recovering Bars: 1 Dark Chocte Bar+1 Litre of Pure Spring Water+ 5 roots of 500 Year old Ginseng+ 800 Miracle Points]


    [Great Eraser: 1 Rubber Eraser+ 100 ML. Dark Sapling Juice+ 50ML Urine of Two Tailed Lizard+700 Miracle Points]


    Jia Hao realized it was the upgrade of ''Enchantment'' function of the system.


    It used Chaos Energy to enchant the things before. However, Jia Hao used almost all Chaos Energy to perform miracles on the items he brought from the Azure Sea World.


    Therefore, there was no way he could use the enchantment function because they get spend early.


    But now, he can Miracle Points to enchant the items, making everything easier for him.


    Thinking for a moment, Jia Hao crossed his legs and started to use his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, pouring his internal energy into the Pot of Miracle.


    In a few moments, Jia Hao felt he was drainedpletely, with exhaustion taking over him.


    Looking back on the screen, Jia Hao saw the Miracle Points became 1100 from 1000.


    '' My entire pool of energy is only 100 Miracle Points?'' Jia Hao was speechless.


    Not to mention, it will take more than half of the day to recover his internal energy. Therefore, using his own energy to fuel Miracle Points isn''t very efficient.


    '' However, I believe using monster cores and things with natural energy would work as well. After all, with this feature, I can turn all those energy into Miracle Points.''


    '' Money is the source of everything. As long as I earn money, everything will be solved.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    He already given the recipes to the chef and marketing strategy to Cai Yixue. With Cai Yixue''s intelligence, Jia Hao knew that she wouldn''t face any challenges.


    '' However, Currently, I need to prepare something.'' Jia Hao got up and called Minmin, to give her some instructions.


    Soon enough, Pharmacist Mo of Fragrant Medicine Pavilion came to the Cai Family''s estate to meet Jia Hao.


    " Greetings, Young Lord. Is everything alright?"


    " I am fine, Elder Mo. Please, Have a seat." Jia Hao smiled as he looked at him. " I need your help regarding something."


    " Do tell me, Young Lord."


    " Violet Smoke Grass, Do you know how to handle it''s poisoning?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Violet Smoke Grass?" Pharmacist Mo was stunned. " That''s such a rare herb. Without processing, it will act as a poison."


    " A half step Innate realm master is affected by its poison. Do you have any means to save him?"


    " What?" Pharmacist Mo couldn''t help but get startled. " It''s possible. However, We need a strong anti toxic medicine for that. Otherwise¡­I am afraid I can''t treat them."


    " Then how about suppressing for a while?" Jia Hao spoke in a calm voice. " Prepare what is necessary within two days. I want you to do your best to find the cure. If you can''t, then prepare that will suppress the poison."

 Chapter 125: Secret Treasury

    Jia Hao already knew that Sang Qian was affected by Violet Mist Grass. And after killing Lei Qinzhu, Jia Hao didn''t find any cure for venom at all.


    This made Jia Hao anxious, making him consult with Pharmacist Mo. After all, He should know better about the Violet Smoke Grass.


    '' But, I guess I need to go back and return with a powerful antidote.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Since his Chaos Energy cap already reached 300 Points, chances of dropping a powerful antidote is high. All he needs to do is to purchase a normal antidote or simr thing and bring to Yun Continent.


    '' Hope my luck shines once again.'' Jia Hao mumbled.


    " As you say, Young Lord. I shall keep my eyes on such ingredient." Pharmacist Mo replied.


    " And¡­" Jia Hao suddenly thought about something, making his lips curl.


    " Buy anything that could be seen as the cure for poison."


    " Yes?" Pharmacist Mo''s eyes turned wide. " You want me to¡­hoard the medicinal herbs?"


    " Here, 50,000 taels of gold. Ask me more if you want. But yes." Jia Hao nodded. " Hoard them all."


    Pharmacist Mo returned with confusion. However, he knew Jia Hao was a smart person.


    '' Perhaps there is something going to happen?''


    Jia Hao took some paper and ink brush before writing down something. He couldn''t help but be amazed when he saw his own handwriting.


    '' Not bad, The calligraphy skill I got from that bastard is really working!'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but grin widely. After all, He was already getting frustrated with his bad handwriting.


    The more he wrote, the more his hand became free, making his handwriting smoother.


    Drinking tea and writing gentle poetry with beautiful calligraphy, that''s sure a dream of every schr in this era. And, Jia Hao also wanted to have a taste of that.


    '' Ah, now I remember¡­'' Jia Hao thought for a moment before taking out the pendant given by Xu Chen.


    It was a beautiful blue crystal, embedded into a silver frame. Jia Hao used his Sage''s Divine Eyes to inspect the pendant.


    [ Pendant of Princess Shui Lang: The pendant of Princess Shui Lang of Dayu Country. It''s a token of love for her lover Chu Yuan. It contains the clue to King Xiang''s Hidden Treasury]


    '' What? A clue of the hidden treasury? Is this why the Xu Family got targeted?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but get shocked.


    Flipping the pendant around, it looked very ordinary other than the bright blue crystal in the middle.


    '' Perhaps it''s safe because no one seems to understand the clue?'' Jia Hao thought of the possibility as he got excited.


    But after a while, he couldn''t notice anything special. The gears of his brain spun as he looked at the crystal closely using his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    '' This¡­This crystal is faulty?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but mumble. He could see numerous cracks and holes in the crystal, albeit they look very fine.


    But then, his expression changed as he looked at them once again. Dipping the brush into the inkstone, Jia Hao painted the cracks on the paper.


    He perfectly imitated each crack, curve, and hole. After a while, he looked at the paper with newfound wisdom.


    " The clue¡­The clue is actually a map!" Jia Hao couldn''t help but gasp with admiration. The person who made the pendant must be extremely talented.


    After all, the cracks weren''t on the surface of the crystal, so no one would be able to notice it. The cracks were carved internally, so only those with powerful eyesight andprehension could get it.


    '' The curves¡­They look like rivers. The wedges look like mountains. And what are these holes? Could it be¡­They are cities?''


    '' And here, the mark of a small star. This must be the ce the treasury of King Xiang must be hiding.'' Jia Hao pped his hands.


    '' This ce¡­It''spletely close to a city. What the hell, a ce like that is still undiscovered?'' Jia Hao was baffled.


    But he realized something after that. As the saying goes, The most dangerous ce is the safest ce. Therefore, no one would think a treasury would exist right outside of a city.


    '' No, Since the Shen Family is still trying, then it means the treasure is still there. Hehe¡­If I get it¡­''


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he ced the pendant down.


    " What were you doing?"


    " Ah, It''s you, Wife." Jia Hao smiled. " Just¡­Trying to solve some mysteries."


    " Actually, Do you know anything regarding¡­King Xiang''s treasury?"


    " Where did you hear of that?" Cai Yixue raised her brows. " It''s quite an ancient tale, dating back two hundred years ago."


    " King Xiang was the king of Dayu country, which was an independent country outside the Great Yan Kingdom. He was a powerful ruler, along with great achievement in martial arts."


    " He won many wars and amassed a lot of wealth. But a rebellion in Dayu country dug his grave. But before his death, he moved all his treasures to a secret location."


    " After that, Dayu Country became a vassal of the Great Yan Kingdom. However, the secret of King Xiang''s treasury is still unknown."


    " Then, What about the tale of Princess Shui Lang and Chen Yuan?" Jia Hao asked with a curious voice.


    " This..This¡­" Cai Yixue''s eyes squinted. " You sure you want to hear? It''s a very tragic tale."


    " Of course, I am interested in stories."


    " This starts with the beautiful princess Shui Lang, the princess of Dayu King. She is so beautiful, delicate as a flower and beautiful as a polished jade."


    " Yet, She was a heroic woman, reaching the realm of Innate Master before the age of thirty. But she yearned for a man, a man who won''t look at her aplishment, but only her¡­the true her."


    " And then, she met the hero Chu Yuan." Cai Yixue seemed to be enraptured by the story she was telling. " Chu Yuan was also a genius. However, he came from a lowly sect."


    " Some say he got an inheritance of an ancient martial arts, or he got a divine elixir by chance. But he became a powerful martial artist."


    " And eventually, both of them fell in love."


    " But the damned King of Dayu didn''t approve of them. Not to mention, he got greedy because Chu Yuan was supposed to have found the treasury of King Xiang."


    " After numerous attempts of assassination, Chu Yuan finally died, making Shui Lang lose the only light in her life."


    " And, she was imprisoned by the King of Dayu nation."


    " It was such a sad story, wasn''t it?" Cai Yixue couldn''t help but rub her eyes. " Two star crossed lovers couldn''t unite even in the end¡­Huh? Why aren''t you saying anything?"


    " Huh?" Jia Hao was taken aback before nodding hurriedly. " Indeed, Such a tragic story. I am saddened so much."


    '' Hah, So my wife likes such a story, huh?'' Jia Hao was amused when he saw Cai Yixue. She was really telling the story with all her experience as if she read it countless times.


    " It all happened around fifteen years ago? I was very small back then."


    " Only fifteen years ago?"Jia Hao was taken aback. After all, Innate Masters can easily live up to two hundred years. So, fifteen years are rtively small frame of time.


    '' Interesting, I gues this story have some credibility after all.''


    " Wife, This is a map I got from a ce. Can you decipher it?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue.


    " A map you say?'' Cai Yixue was startled. " Hmm, I believe Uncle Yang can do it. He has ventured a lot of ces with my father."


    " Old Yang? You are right, he might be able to do it." Jia Hao nodded with approval.


    " Let''s say¡­ What do you think is inside the treasury of King Xiang?"


    " A lot of gold and treasures?" Cia Yixue thought for a moment before replying. " Not to mention, there might be some secret elixirs. I also heard that there might be a copy of Internal Illumination Art."


    " It''s an ancient internal energy technique which can be practiced along with other techniques. It will make the internal energy pure and more robust."


    " What''s more, it allows the practitioner immune to ten thousand poisons and self healing capabilities."


    " For now, there are only three practitioners of Internal Illumination Art in this world. And only one of them is in the Great Yan Kingdom."


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but take a cold breath. The Internal Illumination Method sounds very powerful.


    '' After the monster tide incident, I need to go and check out the treasury of King Xiang. Maybe I can get the Internal Illumination Method?''


    As Cai Yixue and Jia Hao chatting leisurely, Minmin suddenly came rushing.


    " Youngdy, This isn''t good!"


    " Minmin, What happened? Why are you so anxious."


    " The ten great viges under Cai Family came to Patriarch. Something happened to the cotton fields and silkworms farming."


    " What?"


    Cai Yixue''s expression changed when she heard that. " That''s not good. I need to go and see."


    " Huh? What just happened?"

 Chapter 126: Troubles One After Another

    Jia Hao frowned when he saw the worried look on Cai Yixue''s face. Getting up, he also followed them.


    The ten viges are all under the Cai Family, who work in their field and give them tax along with the Imperial Family. The farmers are a huge source of ie for the Cai Family.


    Therefore, if anything happens to them Cai Family''s finances will take a huge toll.


    '' Half of the Cai Family''s viges grows grain. And the remaining ones produce silk and cotton respectively. Despite that, the production of cotton and silk remained quite profitable.''


    '' But they simply sell the silk and cotton to other merchants and families as raw materials. The profit from raw materials are simply low when these people sell the products made from them more than five times of the price.'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh in frustration.


    When he walked out, he saw the vige heads sitting, exining the situation to Cai Yixue.


    '' Well, As usual, they are probably going to say the rain is less this year, so the hail of grain has decreased. Then they will ask the Cai Family to reduce taxes.''


    And what he expected was indeed somewhat true. However, there was a bigger problem among the cotton and silk farmers.


    " Young Lady, the merchants of Nanhai City are driving down the prices of cotton and silk." A vigerined.


    " How is that possible?" Cia Yixue couldn''t help but raise her brows. " Cotton and silk have been preciousmodities. Especially silk, which I believe the production went well this year?"


    " Young Lady, you are right." The vige leader nodded. " However, The problem is¡­what are we going to do with all the product if no one is willing to purchase it?"


    " What do you mean?"


    " The Niu Family, The Shen Family, and Silkward Chambers have joined hands." An old man cupped his fist as he muttered in a low voice.


    "They received a giant order from nobles of the north and even the Imperial Family. Not to mention, they have gathered materials from other provinces, so they are saying they don''t need our goods anymore."


    " What? They are not buying?" Cai Yixue finally grasped the clutch of the problem.


    " They are the main purchaser of the silk and cotton. If they don''t buy, we don''t whom to sell these things."


    " The production of silk is extremely well this year. We were expecting a profit of over a thousand tael of gold for each farmer. However, if things go like this, we might not even get two hundred taels."


    " Youngdy, we have already taken loans. If we can''t sell our silk and cotton, it would be disastrous."


    " The viges are currently in dire need of money. Everyone is looking for the money after selling the silk."


    " I understand." Cai Yixue rubbed her forehead with frustration. " Please give me some time and wait in the main hall. I shall see what I can do."


    " Youngdy, we request you to not overlook our plight."


    " Youngdy, you are the incarnation of goddess. Please have mercy on our viges."


    " Youngdy, if we don''t receive money, our children¡­"


    " I said¡­Wait¡­Outside."


    Jia Hao shivered when he saw Cai Yixue''s cold face. Her chilling tone made everyone shut up instantly. They all hurriedly bowed and retreated.


    '' Damn, Wifey is really angry.'' Jia Hao wanted to joke, but he didn''t find any courage to do so.


    " Young Miss¡­"


    " Minmin, prepare tea for me and bring it the way I like."


    " Yes."


    Cai Yixue seated silently, without moving a single inch. Jia Hao was simply amazed when he saw her like that.


    She looked like a statue carved by a heavenly sculpture himself,pletely picturesque. She gently nibbled her cherry lips as her chest rose and fell, indicating the building up anger.


    " What do you want to say?"


    " Should I?" Jia Hao spoke in his usual light hearted tone. " I believe you need some time to gather your thoughts."


    " Hmm¡­." Cai Yixue didn''t look at Jia Hao. Soon, Minmin came back with a teapot and cup. As she poured the tea, Jia Hao realized that the tea wasn''t steaming hot and turned a bit cold.


    Cai Yixue held the cup and drank slowly, savoring its taste. " You want some?"


    " Sure." Jia Hao didn''t hesitate as Minmin passed him another cup. When he tasted the tea, he couldn''t help but turn speechless.


    The tea was lukewarm and rtively sweet. '' I guess my wife uses sweet tea to cope with her anger? How peculiar¡­'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle a bit.


    " So, What''s with those Niu Family bastards plotting this time?"


    " The profit of silk and cotton is over 700,000 taels of gold. And this year, it should be around a million taels of gold."


    " Do you know what a million tael of gold is? It''s almost ? of our early budget. Without it, the Cai Family is as good as dead."


    " So, The three factions joined forces to take down Cai Family?" Jia Hao looked at her and asked. Cai Yixue took a deep breath of air and nodded. " Indeed, That''s right."


    " Since we don''t own any cloth workshop, raw materials are as good as dirt in our hands. Not to mention, selling them outside of our province is very difficult in a short period of time."


    " But is this really true that Niu Family, Shen Family, and Silkward Chambers joined their hands?" Jia Hao looked at her. " Do they possess enough material to not buy our goods?"


    " It maybe possible, or maybe not." Minmin shook her head. " Even if it''s a false rm, I believe the three association pooled all their money together, which is enough to crush the Cai Family."


    " After all, a military family''s wealth is much less than a merchant family."


    " Hmm, So even if they don''t buy from us, there won''t be any disadvantage. And if they are going to buy, they will buy our goods at dirt cheap price." Jia Hao rubbed his chin.


    " So, Either the Cai Family has to lower their head and sell silk and cotton at the price of dirt or not sell to them. In both cases, the Cai Family will lose."


    " Not to mention, we need to pay a million tael of gold this month as repayment of the loan."


    " I see¡­ Wait, What?" Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide. " What sort of loan are you talking about?"


    " Well, You have visited our treasury, right?" Cai Yixue ''s smile became bitter as she looked at Jia Hao. " How much gold you see there?"


    " Uhh¡­Now you say¡­" Jia Hao was dumbfounded. Indeed, there are various items, but gold taels are pretty low, around a couple of hundred thousand taels?


    " You can''t be¡­" Jia Hao stammered. " That''s all?"


    " That''s all. Nothing more, nothing less." Cai Yixue nodded.


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that. After all, why would he doubt the Cai Family? He simply thought as a powerful family, they must have stored their gold in some secret ce.


    After all, don''t all rich folk do that? They don''t have much liquid money, but a lot of assets and investments.


    How could he know that''s all the money Cai Family had?


    '' Fuck, and I myself hogging over 200,000 taels of gold? Won''t that make me a traitor?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but mumble in his heart.


    " Ten years ago, Father and uncle brought the entire Cai Family army to fight off against the tribals and barbarians of western ins."


    " However, Cai Family didn''t have enough funds at that moment. Therefore, we borrowed ten million taels of gold at that time."


    " And, although we won the war, the loss was also pretty great." Cai Family bit her lips. " Thankfully, His Majesty Emperor granted us immensends and titles. However, the direct mary support was very less."


    " Wait, Can you tell me the interest rate you borrowed the money?" Jia Hao suddenly asked.


    " Around¡­Ten percent?"


    " ..."


    Jia Hao calcted the money and sighed in his heart.'' Fuck, the loan just got doubled.''


    " And how much have you paid by now?"


    " Above eleven million taels of gold?"


    " Well, That seems¡­ good." Jia Hao nodded. " You sure have a talent of managing money."


    " I learned it from my mother." Cai Yixue nodded. " Perhaps, all female members who married into the Cai Family had good brains for business. Otherwise, this family would have perished long ago."


    " Anyway, they are pressuring us to pay three million taels of gold this year because we already exceeded the time ofplete repayment." Cai Yixue rubbed her forehead.


    " Therefore, we were supposed to pay over a million tael this time around. However, things aren''t looking good. If we can''t repay, we have to give them a few viges and a few hundred acres of fertilend to them."


    '' And whom did you borrow the loan from?"


    " Silkward Chambers."


    " Haah¡­Why does everyone have beef with our Cai Family?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh in frustration.


    " Because, currently, the Cai Family is one of the very few families who has military power and are still neutral." Cai Yixue replied truthfully.


    " If we get involved, the politics of the entire Great Yan Kingdom will be tipped off. Besides¡­Our ancestors took the pledge to remain loyal to only the emperor and the emperor himself."


    "Alright, Enough of this." Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " Do you have any idea?"


    Jia Hao''s lips curled when he heard that. " Idea? Hmm, I wonder? Why does wife think I have a way out?"


    " Do you not?" Cai Yixue stared at him.


    " Young Lady Cai, Lady Lian from Silkward Chamber is asking to meet you."

 Chapter 127: Audacious Bitch

    Jia Hao and Cai Yixue were both surprised when they heard that.


    " Miss Lian from Silkward Chamber?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue.


    " Lian Luoqiu, She is the daughter of Silkward Chamber''s Elder Lian''s daughter." Cai Yixue sighed as she pinched her forehead with frustration.


    " Silkward Chamber isn''t under the control of a single person. The chamber lord sits in the highest position while there are four elders beneath him."


    " Elder Lian is among one of them, and he and another control Nanhai City and this province''s management."


    " She has beenpeting with me since childhood. I guess she finally got her time."


    " A war between beauties, huh?" Jia Hao spoke tersely.


    " Let''s go and meet her." Cai Yixue adjusted her clothes as she walked forward.


    " Haha, Sister Cai, We met again."


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he saw that girl.


    Cai Yixue was like a white lotus inside a pool of cold blue water while Xu Chen was like a fresh peony, giving off a sweet scent of innocence yet also a refreshing charm.


    As for this Lian Luoqiu¡­ Jia Hao took a deep breath.


    She was like an explosive rose, burning with mes of passion. Her eyes were like sharp hooks, capable of stealing the soul of any man.


    Her hourss figure with her ample bosom giving a little peek of her deep ravine was enough to fire up a man''s desire.


    '' She is like someone whom everyone wants to press on the bed. Yet, I believe she is the type of girl who would walk out with her virginity intact even amidst drunken criminals.'' Jia Hao gave his first impression of Lian Luoqiu.


    " Well, Since Sister Lian is here, I won''t be formal." Cai Yixue sat before Lian Luoqiu. " Is Silkward Chambers not going to purchase the silk and cotton from us?"


    " Haha, I guess Sister Cai already got the news, hm?" Lian Luoqiu smiled lightly. " We have received arge amount of silk cocoons from the north."


    " Also, The Shen Family has developed a new and bright yellow dye which costs a lot. After all, it''s made from the blood of wood kobolds and exotic nts of Twisted Dark Forest."


    " So, the Niu Family, and Shen Family have joined hands, and I believe their proposal is worth considering. After all, the sample of the new dye is already getting very popr among nobles." Lian Luoqiu held the cup and took a sip.


    " They won''t hesitate to pay more than two thousand taels of gold per meter of our new dyed silk clothes."


    " Since you are here, it means you want to purchase the silk and cotton from us." Cai Yixue looked at Lian Luoqiu. " What price do you wish to propose?"


    " Hundred taels of gold for three liang of silk cocoons."


    " Impossible!" Cai Yixue blurted out. " Three liang of silk cocoons costs at least four hundred taels of gold. Yet, you are giving a fourth of its price?"


    " As I said, I am only purchasing the silk from you out of consideration, Sister Cai." Lian Luoqiu smiled brightly. " Otherwise. We have sufficient goods for this year."


    " Hundred taels of gold per three liang of silk cocoon? That would be a heavy loss!" Cai Yixue clenched her teeth, " Three hundred taels of gold for three liang of silk cocoons."


    " I am afraid I can''t do that, Sister Cai." Lian Luoqiu shook her head. " I am giving you and the Cai Family a way out."


    Jia Hao looked at Lian Luoqiu as he ran a calction in his mind.


    The silk cocoon produced this year was over a thousand jin. So, if Lian Luoqiu gives a hundred tael of gold for three liang of silk cocoon, the Cai Family will get only 500,000 taels of gold.


    And distributing money to farmers and taxes to the Imperial Family, the Cai Family will have nothing remaining. And even if they pooled money altogether, there wouldn''t a silver coin left after paying the million tael of gold loan to Silkward Chambers.


    '' Also, that damned monster tide¡­lf Cai Family won''t have any funds, then¡­No wonder everyone going to perish¡­'' Jia Hao felt a strange feeling.


    What if the monster tide is connected with some sort of conspiracy? What if it''s someone ns to use it against Cai Family?


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but shiver, with cold sweat covering his back.


    '' Fuck, Who could have thought such a great n? Who is it? Is it someone among the princes? Or other nobles?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but think in his heart.


    However, his expression remained calm and cid as usual, staring at Lian Luoqiu.


    " Lian Luoqiu, You know that my Cai Family needs money urgently, yet you want to strangle us?" Cai Yixue spoke in a cold voice.


    " Aww, You are making me look like a viin, Sister Cai." Lian Luoqiu''s expression didn''t change as she spoke with a friendly smile.


    " However, if you do one thing, then¡­It might be possible for us to write off this year''s entire interest."


    " And? What is it?"


    " Marry Cai Lingzhi to third Imperial Prince Li Yuan." Lian Luoqiu spoke in a light hearted voice. " In fact, it would be better for you if you dissolve your marriage and marry Li Yuan instead."


    Cai Yixue''s eyes turned wide when she heard Lian Luoqiu''s proposal.


    " What did you just say?"


    " You heard what I said, Sister Cai." Lian Luoqiu spoke with a bright voice. " In fact, Li Yuan proposed you a long time ago, No?"


    " Lian Luoqiu! You dare to speak this before my husband? Do you have no shame?" Cai Yixue''s eyes turned cold as her voiceced with suppressed anger.


    " Well, You know that Prince Li Yuan adores you. After all, He¡­"


    " Miss Lian, perhaps you are forgetting the etiquette of a nobledy. Talking about divorce right before husband¡­"


    " Ah, How can I do that? It must have slipped from my lips." Lian Luoqiu looked at Jia Hao with a sultry smile. " Young Lord Jia Hao, am I right? I have been hearing about you quite a lot here."


    " And, As I said, the proposal is for Cai Lingzhi to marry Prince Li Yuan. Even that happens¡­It will benefit the Cai Family a lot."


    " Lia Luoqiu¡­"


    " It''s alright." Jia Hao smiled. "A hundred taels of gold per three liang of silk cocoon, we ept it. Also, I wonder if you can take the first batch this evening?"


    " Huh?"


    Lian Luoqiu blinked when she heard Jia Hao. " This¡­Alright¡­I believe so."


    " Husband¡­"


    Cai Yixue wanted to say something. But she remained silent.


    " Now, If you don''t have anything to say, I believe we have concluded our talk." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.


    After Lian Luoqiu left, Jia Hao''s face turned dark.


    " This bitch¡­ I shall show you what real despair looks like."

 Chapter 128: Each With Their Own Plan

    " Young Lady Lian, Any order for us?"


    " Keep an eye on the Cai Family mansion. Report if any suspicious peoplee and go." Lian Luoqiu spoke with a light voice.


    " I didn''t expect them to agree to our term this easily."


    " Me neither." Lian Luoqiu looked at the old man beside her as she shook her head. " I mean¡­Cai Yixue tried to dy it as much as possible. After all, she needs time to think of a proper n."


    " However, To think she would agree right away. Something isn''t fitting right."


    " Not to mention, her husband¡­" Lian Luoqiu rubbed her lips. " Where did such a persone from?"


    " The moment he came into Cai Family, it''s like everything has changed. Cai Family didn''t suffer the setbacks it was supposed to suffer."


    " A great talent which even put schrs ashamed? I am really curious about him."


    " Jia Hao, Is it?" Lian Luoqiu looked amused." Perhaps after Cai Family perishes, I might make him my little pet."


    " Cai Family is still standing strong. Making it fall¡­"


    " Butler Qu, Have you forgotten?" Lian Luoqiu looked at Butler Qu. " Marquis Guo already received the favor of the Third Prince. He already gathered enough army."


    " After we take the remaining portion of Silver Lightning Cavalry, Don''t you think it will be easier to chop down Cai Family?"


    " So, Either they are going to fight till the bitter end, Or¡­They are going to sell their daughter to Third Prince. All in all, I shall see Cai Yixue''s fall in the end."


    " Once this is done, Only the Shen Family will be our target. After crushing them, Our Silkward Chamber will grow and contend against Heavenly Star Commerce and Sky Treasure Gallery."


    " Young Miss is wise¡­" Butler Qiu nodded. " But about your engagement¡­"


    " Why do you think I am doing all this thing?" Lian Luoqiu couldn''t help but snarl. " You think they will try to sell to me to that bastard after all I have done?"


    Butler Qiu wanted to say something, but he remained silent. " Very well¡­I have prepared the carriage."


    " Then let''s depart."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Both Jia Hao and Cia Yixue remained seated before each other silently. After a while, Cai Yixue opened her mouth.


    " I am really sorry. I am putting you in all this mess."


    " Why should you say sorry?" Jia Hao smiled wryly. " The moment I married you, Did I not take the promise to share both joy and trouble?"


    " But, That doesn''t mean I have to attract trouble every time." Cai Yixue took a deep breath. " Anyway, If we go ording to your new n for the restaurant, we can easily earn over two hundred thousand taels of gold per month."


    " So, if I extend the time a few months, we might have enough money in our hands. We shall slowly give farmers their share."


    " I am afraid we don''t have much time." Jia Hao smiled bitterly.


    '' I saw Lian Luoqiu''s recent future point. After a month, she will sell the Cai Family estate to some Marquis Guo and receive an Imperial Token.''


    '' That means the Cai Family must have sold off the estate or perished entirely.'' Jia Hao calcted with a sigh.


    " What do you mean by that?" Cai Yixue became a bit confused.


    " Nevermind. Our current priority is to sell the silk cocoons and get the right price for it."


    " But how are we going to get it?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with a bitter face. " Lian Luoqiu is very shrewd. Since she came here, that means she probably nned well to trap us."


    " It''s not like only she can trap us." Jia Hao''s lips curled into a devious grin. " You are underestimating your husband far too much."


    " Huh? What do you mean¡­"


    " Nothing." Jia Hao got up. " Wife, just gather where they are storing all the silk cocoons. I believe it''s either the Shen Family or Niu Family''s workshops."


    "What are you going to do?" Cai Yixue''s tone became a bit worried. " If you try to do something, the City Guards will use that as leverage and arrest you."


    " Don''t worry about that, Wife. I know what am I doing." Jia Hao turned around to leave. " Just wait for me toe back."


    Cai Yixue tried to call Jia Hao, but she clenched her fist. Getting up, Cai Yixue called Minmin.


    " Minmin, Prepare the carriage. I need to visit the bun shop and restaurant."


    " Yes, Youngdy." Minmin nodded as she looked at Cai Yixue. " I guess¡­Young Lord''s mood isn''t very well right now."


    " Yes¡­He is¡­Very angry." Cai Yixue looked out the window for a moment.


    " Hehe, It seems like you both are very simr." Minmin smiled. But Cai Yixue shook her head.


    " I do get angry, but I remain rational. He¡­He feels different. He is someone who won''t swallow insults that easily. I am afraid he will do something bad."


    " I hope he doesn''t."


    Jia Hao closed the room as he sat on the bed.


    " Haha¡­.HAHAHAHA!"


    Jia Haoughed out loud as he pped his thigh. " Hahaha, Fuck! I thought I am going to live as a salted fish here. But this damned Imperial Family really trying to piss me off, huh?"


    " Third Prince Li Yuan? You little fucker dare to eye at my wife and lover?"


    " And that bitch Lian Luoqiu, That slut¡­ That contempt in her gaze¡­"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he felt the anger was affecting his mind, filling him with blind rage.


    '' No, I need to calm down. Why do I feel the desire qi is amplifying my emotions?'' Jia Hao pped his cheeks gently as he calmed down.


    '' Lian Luoqiu, Is it¡­I shall see you.''


    Jia Hao got on the bed as he fell asleep.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Opening his eyes, he saw it was already morning in Tianhsu Nation. Yawing, He got outside from his bed and washed his face.


    " Huh? I thought you weren''t going to wake up early."


    " Morning, Xing''er." Jia Hao saw Su Xing''er in her tracksuit. " Are you going to gym?"


    " No, I am not going there." Su Xing''er shook her head. " I am just doing some light exercise before the tournament."


    " Sister Lan hasn''t woken up yet?"


    " Not yet." Su Xing''er turned around. " I am going to the garden to exercise. Can you go and wake up Big Sis?"


    " Sure."


    Jia Hao walked to Su Lan''s room as he knocked on the door. " Big Sister Lan? Are you awake?"


    Hearing no answer, Jia Hao opened the door and stepped inside. As he walked near the sleeping Su Lan, suddenly, her arms stretched and pulled him onto the bed.


    " Good Morning, Hao''er."


    Jia Hao saw Su Lan looked at him with a light smile with sleepy eyes.


    Without any warning, Jia Hao leaned forward, and kissed her lips tenderly.


    " Good Morning. Lan.

 Chapter 129: Feng Yunshis Suspicion

    They both rolled on the bed as Su Lan and Jia Hao entangled in a passionate kiss.


    " Nngh!~ You are really taking advantage of me, hun?" Su Lan moaned as she felt Jia Hao''s palm slip under her shirt and fondle her breasts.


    " Well, That was supposed to be my line though?" Jia Hao giggled. " Setting such a sexy trap for your younger stepbrother in the early morning¡­Is this the true face of Academy Angel Su Lan?"


    " Tsk, You are teasing me again, Hao''er."


    " Hehe, Alright." Jia Hao got up as he crossed his arms. " You better wake up and get ready fast. Xing''er is waiting for us."


    " Besides, Where is Aunt Su?"


    " Mm? Mom?" Su Lan yawned as she got up. " She probably went to the office early today. She has been busy quite a lot these days."


    " Is that so?"


    Jia Hao nodded, but his breathing quickened when he saw Su Lan was going to change right before him.


    " Sister Lan, Have you gone crazy?"


    " Hehe, It''s not like you never saw my naked body, huh?" Su Lan gave a mischievous grin.


    " Sister, I barely managed to calm down my morning wood. And now you want to give me another one?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless.


    " Anyway, I am going out, or else I might not be able to stop myself."


    Su Lan clicked her tongue when she saw Jia Hao walking out hurriedly.


    After a while, she got ready and followed Jia Hao out. Su Xing''er couldn''t help but huff. " You guys sure took your sweet time, huh?"


    " Alright Xing''er, We aren''tte yet." Su Lan waved her hands. " Get in the car. We are leaving now."


    " Damn, I am already getting excited." Su Xing''er clenched her fist.


    " I know you won the Iner School Martial Art Competition. But it''s going to be different." Jia Hao looked at her. " There are many martial arts besides the mainstream ones. They are more unpredictable and deadly."


    " Yeah, I can understand." Su Xing''e nodded. " At first, I thought Eight Trigram Palm was a bit weird. But itbines fast with slow, heaviness with lightness."


    " Since I was already proficient with other martial arts, incorporating the Eight Trigram Palms wasn''t that hard. And the manual you gave to me¡­It was even moreprehensive."


    " What about Jiang Ruoyou?" Jia Hao suddenly asked.


    " She said she would go straight to the avenue. So, we don''t need to pick her up."


    " Well, I am very excited today, Xing''er." Su Lan smiled. " I hope you do well."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Big Sis. I will beat the shit out of everyone and take the first prize. Not to mention, Sister Jiang is also in her top form."


    They soon reached the stadium where the Martial Arts Tournament was held One could see a lot of people came here from faraway ces.


    " Here! Come here!"


    Jia Hao saw Jiang Ruoyou waving her hands from afar, signaling Jia Hao and Su Xing''er toe.


    " You guys are finally here. I have been waiting for you." Jiang Ruoyou huffed. " Ah, Are you the big sister of Su Xing''er?"


    " Hello, Miss Jiang. I am Su Lan, Elder Sister of Su Xing''er." Su Lan smiled. " I hope Xing''er didn''t pester you."


    " Ah, Not really." Jiang Ruoyou shook her head. " Su Xing''er is a gifted child. I just taught her for a few days, yet she already grasped the basics of Eight Trigram Palms."


    " I am eager to see who she is going to perform in the tournament."


    " Don''t worry, Sister Jiang. I am going to perform well." Su Xing''er smirked as she gave a thumbs up." I am going to defeat everyone and get the first ce."


    " I hope you do, Xing''er." Jiang Ruoyou smiled. " Now,e inside with me. I have prepared everything."


    As they walked, Jiang Ruoyou walked toward Jia Hao. " Why are you so silent today?"


    " I can''t flirt with you before them." Jia Hao chuckled when he heard that. Jiang Ruoyou blushed when she heard that. " You are acting like a rouge even here."


    " What can I do? I am just like that." Jia Haoughed. " So, What do you want to tell me?"


    " There are quite some factions who are our opponents." Jiang Ruoyou spoke in a lower voice. " The Sun Martial Arts house is someone who opposed our Southern Edge Dojo since the time of my grandfather."


    " And, there are also Northern Huangzhou Dojo, who are simply hostile against all southern martial artists. And, They will target you."


    " I heard there are also some reclusive sects participating too. I wonder how they are going to perform?" Jiang Ruoyou mused.


    They arrived inside the stadium and got their ce. There was some time before the tournament begin.


    " Sister Jiang, Are there any rules we need to be wary of?" Su Xing''er looked at Jiang Ruoyou.


    " Of course, I shall exin them to you." Jiang Ruoyou nodded.


    " There are three divisions of martial arts, Armed, Unarmed, and Mixed. You all are going for unarmed division."


    " Armed division are for martial arts techniques using weapons. As for mixed division, an unarmed martial artist can fight off against someone with a weapon."


    " Don''t worry, The weapons are harmless. At most, your bones will break."


    " And there would be two parts, Junior Tournament and Senior Tournament. I am going to lead the Southern Edge Dojo in the senior''s championship while you two are going in the junior department."


    " Also, Attacking any fatal position like eyes or crotch would make you disqualify." Jiang Ruoyou warned them. " Try to defeat your enemy, not to cripple them."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Sister Jiang, I shall keep it in mind." Su Xing''er nodded.


    " Sister Jiang, I am thinking of joining the mixed division." Jia Hao spoke after some thought. " I believe the Mixed Division match got better prestige?"


    " But do you think you can beat those with weapons with your fist?" Jiang Ruoyou raised her brows. " I mean¡­I never seen you fight before other than the first time."


    " Hehe, In ancient times, it didn''t matter if one had a weapon or not. The one with skills shall win, isn''t that same as today?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Very well, Since you have such confidence, I shall allow you." Jiang Ruoyou nodded.


    Suddenly, everyone focused on the stage as a group of young men and women marched into the stadium,mencing the tournament.


    " Ladies and gentlemen, Wee to the National Martial Arts Tournament. I can see there are a lot of participants this year. It''s good to see the increase in poprity of martial arts!"


    " Now, I shall exin the rules to everyone¡­"


    Su Xing''er went to the changing room and donned the uniform of Southern Edge Dojo. Jia Hao also did that as they stood beside Jiang Ruoyou.


    It was a card drawing system, with each participant drawing cards and fighting their opponent.


    The first match began as two opponents faced off against each other.


    Su Xing''er looked at them with excited eyes as they fought. The matchsted for ten minutes before ending.


    " Did you see that?" Su Xing''er pointed at it. " That spinning kick was simply too smooth."


    " Yeah¡­" Jia Hao nodded absent mindedly. However, he was actually getting bored.


    '' These are such simple moves. Even a farmer of Yun continent can fight better.''


    But then, the Yun continent is an ancient civilization that focuses on martial arts. Meanwhile, How many people practice martial arts in the modern day?


    '' Huh? There is she¡­''


    Jia Hao''s eyes brightened when he found out the one he was looking for.


    " Xing''er, Stay here. I shall go and meet an acquaintance of mine."


    " Huh? Fine¡­"


    Jia Hao rushed to a ce as he couldn''t help but chuckle. " Hehe, I didn''t expect Sister Feng to be here."


    " Huh? Jia Hao?" Feng Yunshi was surprised when she saw Jia Hao. " What are you doing here? Did youe here to spectate the match?"


    " Nope, I am going to participate in junior mixed division martial arts." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " What? Really?" Feng Yunshi gasped. " I didn''t know you practiced martial arts."


    " Well, I just know some tricks." Jia Haoughed. " What about you, Sister Feng?"


    " Hehe, I am also here to participate in a martial arts tournament."


    " What? Really?" Jia Hao was very surprised when he heard that. " What martial arts do you practice, Sister Feng?"


    " Well, It''s called Plum Blossoms Boxing." Feng Yunshi chuckled. " I know it''s not very famous, but¡­It does it works."


    " A martial art doesn''t need to be famous, Sister Feng." Jia Hao smiled as he turned around. " It needs to be effective and deadly."


    " After all. Martial arts are meant to kill, not to showcase like flowers."


    Feng Yunshi was stunned when she heard that. With a light gulp, she looked at Jia Hao.


    " What happened with Li Tao?"


    " What do you mean? I thought he escaped?" Jia Hao smiled innocently.


    " Well, As far as I know, Li Tao vanished after you went to meet him." Feng Yunshi answered curtly.


    " Vanished, Hm?" Jia Hao''s grin turned devious.


    " Maybe he did¡­I believe he won''t appear anymore."

 Chapter 130: One Inch Punch

    Feng Yunshi kept a tab of all the events that happened that day. After giving the information about Li Tao''s hideout, She observed the situation with her men.


    As Jia Hao left, her men rushed inside and saw some broken furniture with some sttered blood. However, there was no clue of Li Tao anywhere there.


    Feng Yunshi''s body chilled when she heard the report. However, she was even more amazed when her men replied that Jia Hao walked back without holding anything.


    '' He didn''t bury Li Tao''s body in the garden, right? No, He didn''t. Because there were no newly dug patches in the garden.'' Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao''s departing figure with various thoughts.


    However, she couldn''t reach conclusion of any of them. With a sigh, she rubbed her face and focused back on thepetition.


    '' He is also joining, huh? I am excited to see his performance.'' Feng Yunshi rubbed her chin with amusement.


    As the tournament continued, Su Xing''er''s turn finally came.


    Su Xing''er walked on the stage as she cupped her fist. " I am Su Xing''er from Southern Edge Dojo. I am proficient in judo and Eight Trigram Palms."


    " I am Huang Zhan. I am proficient with Wing Chun."


    " Let''s learn from each other."


    Su Xing''er instantly entered her stance as she saw Huang Zhan make the first move. Huang Zhan''s movement was swift as he skipped the distance between him and Su Xing''er in the blink of an eye.


    His fist moved as it shot straight toward Su Xing''er''s waist. However, Su Xing''er already intercepted that move as she used her arm to block the fist.


    Simultaneously, she moved her feet, trying to hit the leg of Huang Zhan to make him stumble.


    " Haah!"


    Huang Zhan jumped as he avoided the attack. However, Su Xing''er used this chance to attack swiftly.


    *BAAM!*


    Huang Zhan crossed his arms as he blocked Su Xing''er''s palm. However, he still got pushed back.


    " Not bad. But this is not enough."


    *BAM! BAM! BAM!*


    Huang Zhan leaned forward as his fists turned into a blur. Su Xing''er''s body moved as she started to parry all of Huang Zhan''s attacks.


    Wing Chun''s advantage was high speed attack in a small range. Huang Zhan''s fists moved rapidly as he aimed at her neck, chest, waist, and arms.


    However, Su Xing''er wasn''t a greenhorn either. She managed to intercept each attack of Huang Zhan, defending herself sessfully.


    " Do you know only defend! Lower Bridge Cut!" Huang Zhan couldn''t help but be annoyed when he saw Su Xing''er was able to parry all of his attacks.


    Su Xing''er chuckled when she heard that. As Huang Zhan''s fist aimed at her neck, she raised her palm and blocked the punch.


    Huang Zhan felt like instead of hitting, his fist punched into something soft and cushy. Then the next moment, he felt Su XIng''er''s arms wrapping around his arm like a vine as she twisted it.


    " ARRGH!"


    Huang Zhan felt like his entire arm got twisted as he cried out, hurriedly taking a step back. However, Su Xing''er used this chance as used both of her palm at once, striking the chest of Huang An.


    " Mountain Pushing Palm!"


    *BAAMMM!"


    Huang Zhan felt like he got hit by a running bull as he stagged backward, falling on his back on the ground.


    " I¡­I admit defeat."


    Huang Zhan muttered as he looked at Su Xing''er.


    " This match, Su Xing''er of Sothern Edge Dojo wins!"


    Su Xing''er cupped her fist as she held Huang Zhan to get up. Jia Hao and Su Lan loudly apuded when they saw Su Xing''er win.


    " Wow, To think Su Xing''er beat him within ten minutes. I never thought she was this impressive." Su Lan couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Hehe, Did you see my performance?" Su Xing''er grinned as she rushed towards them.


    " Xing''er, you had quite some opportunity to take down Huang Zhan earlier. Why didn''t you use them?" Jiang Ruoyou looked at Su Xing''er and asked.


    " Sister Jiang, It''s rare for me to face against different martial arts. Therefore, I was observing Huang Zhan''s technique before attacking him."


    " Although that''s a good trait, it won''t work every time, Xing''er." Jiang Ruoyou''s voice was stern. " In a battle, a small miss can decide to win and lose."


    " So, Rather than observing like that, You better try to finish the matches early."


    " Yes, Sister Jiang." Su Xing''er clicked her tongue as she realized her own mistake.


    " You are doing good, Xing''er. Just keep doing like this." Jiang Ruoyou smiled as she caressed Su Xing''er''s head.


    Jia Hao agreed with what Jiang Ruoyou said. After all, the martial arts match was full of variables. If Su Xing''er misses a single attack, she might lose.


    But, Jia Hao also had faith in Su Xing''er. Unless her opponent is someone ridiculously powerful, she should be able to hold her position.


    " Contestant numbers 39 and 68, pleasee."


    " Hoh, It looks like it''s my turn." Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he stepped forward.


    He cupped his fist and bowed. " I am Jia Hao from Southern Edge Dojo. I am simply a mixed martial artist."


    " I am Ding Fu, from Three Swords House. I am proficient in Three Styles Sword Art."


    Ding Fu appeared with a short wooden sword in his hand. The wooden sword looked like a perfect replica of a real sword, even with a realistic edge. Although it was pretty blunt as it was made from wood. With enough force, the edge might work.


    " Let''s learn from each other."


    Saying that, Jia Hao simply stood, allowing Ding Fu to make the first move. Ding Fu stepped forward as he swung his sword, making a vertical sh.


    As Jia Hao was about to dodge, Ding Fu smirked as he changed the pathway of the sword, attacking the thigh of Jia Hao.


    The move was called Wind Illusion, a technique which deceives the opponent.


    However, as Ding Fu''s cut was about to hit Jia Hao''s thigh, Jia Hao simply blurred from his position, making the sword hit the ground.


    " Huh?"


    Ding Fu felt his brain faltering for a minute when he saw Jia Hao standing several steps away from his initial position.


    '' Wh-When did he reach there? I¡­I didn''t saw him moving though?''


    " Are you just going to stand there? Then admit defeat." Jia Hao spoke yfully as he gestured Ding Fu.


    Ding Fu''s expression changed as he rushed toward Jia Hao with anger.


    " Falling Straight sh!"


    Jia Hao yawned as he twisted his position, easily evading the sh. Ding Fu didn''t stop as he shed several times, but none of them hit Jia Hao.


    " Alright, I have seen your capabilities and I am not interested at all." Jia Hao cracked his knuckles as he looked at Ding Fu.


    Ding Fu suddenly felt a shiver when he saw Jia Hao raising his hands. Swinging his sword, he took a defensive stance.


    However, right after the moment he got into stance, he felt something hitting his abdomen as he flew half a meter back like a rice sack.


    " Cough, Cough!"


    Coughing, Ding Fu felt his entire body buzzing.


    " Oh my! Did I put too much strength?" Jia Hao was worried when he saw that, making Ding Fu faint from anger.


    The crowd including the judgeswere stunned when they saw the ending of the match.


    " Huh? That''s it?"


    " It''s not scripted, right?"


    " What the¡­"


    Su Lan, Su Xing''er, and Jiang Ruoyou were also surprised when they saw the scene. However, Jiang Ruoyoy was even more amazed.


    '' He simply used a straight forward punch. However, at that precise moment, the punch went through the gap in Ding Fu''s defensive stance.''


    '' But the thing is, he was too close to Ding Fu. How can he generate such powerful momentum with such a short distance?''


    ''


    Jia Hao was also speechless when he saw the condition of Ding Fu.


    '' Damn, I didn''t even use my internal energy. All I did was use only half of my physical power and replicate the famous One Inch Punch.''


    Jia Hao scratched his chin as he helped Ding Fu to get up. But then, he got back to his seat by his fellow disciples.


    " This match, Jia Hao wins!"


    " Damn it, What sort of move is that?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but clench her fist with excitement.


    " Indeed, It was way too fast. All I saw was your fist moving and Ding Fu got knocked away." Su Lan nodded.


    " Eh, It''s nothing." Jia Hao chuckled. " Just some paltry trick. It''s not good looking as regr martial arts move."


    " Tsk, Stop trying to act modest." Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " I can see your proud grin."


    " Hoho, Is that so?"


    Jia Haoughed when he heard that. Indeed, why should he hide his smile?


    After that, the matches continued as regr. Su Xing''er and Jia Hao climbed up to the ranks easily.


    But Jia Hao simply took all the spotlight. After all, all he defeated all his opponents with a single move.


    However¡­"


    " Marvelous, Brother Hao¡­ I had never seen such a fast and precise move before." Feng Yunshi appeared before Jia Hao.


    " How about we exchange some knowledge?"


    " As you wish, Sister Yunshi."

 Chapter 131: Showing Off Power

    Jia Hao stood against Feng Yunshi as he couldn''t help but raise his brows. " I thought you were joining senior''s tournament?"


    " Well, I believe you could have joined it too, no?" Feng Yunshi chuckled at Jia Hao.


    " My age is only neen though?" Jia Haoughed. " Even if I wanted to, I couldn''t have join."


    " Well, Same with me I guess?" Feng Yunshi shrugged. " Now, Enough chit chat, Let''s see how powerful you are."


    Both of them got into their stances as Jia Hao gestured at Feng Yunshi. " Go ahead, make the first move."


    " Oh, Such a gentleman you are." Feng Yunshi smirked as she moved forward.


    Her initial movements were slow as Feng Yunshi approached Jia Hao. Jia Hao raised his hands to block Feng Yunshi''s attack, but then¡­something interesting happened.


    Feng Yunshi''s fist slipped past Jia Hao''s arm like a fish slipping out of someone holding it. Jia Hao lurched his body as he barely managed to avoid Feng Yunshi''s fist on his abdomen.


    However, Feng Yunshi didn''t stop. She skipped a step forward and stomped on Jia Hao''s foot. Jia Hao staggered as Feng Yunshi gave a reverse palm attack.


    But this time, Jia Hao''s palm dove downwards, effectively blocking Feng Yunshi''s palm.


    " Ouch, Your hand is too tough."


    Feng Yunshi clicked her tongue as she retreated a step, only to give a reverse kick.


    But it wasn''t a single kick at all. Within a single instance, Feng Yunshi kicked three times in session. However, Jia Hao wasn''t an inexperienced fighter either.


    Using his arms, he blocked the three kicks instantly. Slowly, Jia Hao realized that Feng Yunshi''s moves bing faster and faster.


    The Plum Blossoms Boxing''s movements are soft and swift, leaning to the Yin branch of martial arts. Each of the moves was connected with the previous move,making deadly chain attacks.


    Feng Yunshi''s fist opened as her fingers as they unfurled like petals. Her hands zapped like lightning as they hit Jia Hao''s chest.


    " Ugh!"


    Jia Hao took a few steps back as he felt a stinging pain in his chest. It wasn''t much as his physique was reinforced. However, he understood that Feng Yunshi''s attack was pretty powerful.


    Despite that, Jia Hao only smiled. " Not bad, Your attacks are very good."


    " I didn''t expect you to remain standing after Five Petal Burst." Feng Yunshi mumbled. " Damn it, How can a body of a teen is this strong?"


    " Well then, Take my attack then." Jia Hao swirled his hands as he thew a straight punch at Feng Yunshi.


    Feng Yunshi used both of her palms as she tried to block Jia Hao''s palm.


    *WHACCK!*


    Feng Yunshi winced in pain as she took a step back. '' Damn it, I used my Blossom Block and yet it hurt?''


    The Blossom Block technique uses the softness of the palm to spread the impact of the attack to the entire body, nullifying its effect.


    However, Feng Yunshi felt Jia Hao''s tremendous power. It was like someoneunched a giant hammer with auncher at her. Her feet and palms moved simultaneously, trying to confuse Jia Hao where is she going to attack.


    However, Jia Hao was already alert. His arms and fist moved in such a way that he deflected all the attacks. Within a few minutes, they already exchanged over a hundred moves.


    As time passed, Jia Hao and Feng Yunshi''s fighting grew more and more intense. The audience watched them with awe as both of them exchanged moves like lightning.


    Feng Yunshi suddenly raised her legs and whipped out a kick, like a scorpion swinging its stinger. However, Jia Hao held her ankle and flipped her.


    Twisting her body, Feng Yunshi gracefullynded on the ground. She couldn''t help but nce at Jia Hao bitterly. " You aren''t even fighting properly. You are barely using your strength."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao grinned. " Why do you think so?"


    " It''s because I just know. You think I can''t see you aren''t even panting?" Feng Yunshi rolled her eyes. " Alright, I admit you are better than me. Dragging out this fight will lead nowhere."


    " Fine, Then I shall end it." Jia Hao grinned as he suddenly rushed towards Feng Yunshi. His speed was simply too great as if he blinked a meter like teleportation.


    " Kyaahh!~"


    Feng Yunshi felt a gust of wind as her feet swept from the ground. As she wanted to stabilize, Jia Hao''s fish moved and pushed her to the ground.


    *BAMM!*


    " Ouch, That hurts¡­"


    Feng Yunshi whimpered lightly as she opened her eyes, seeing Jia Hao standing beside him with his arms stretching, helping her to get up.


    " Alright, I admit defeat." Feng Yunshi cupped her fist as she bowed before Jia Hao. '' But damn, You are like a veteran yer ying in the rookie vige."


    " That''s not true." Jia Hao chuckled. " I also learned martial arts only a month ago."


    " Tsk, Liar." Feng Yunshi pouted as she turned to leave. " However, I would love to meet you for future spar."


    " Anytime, Sister Feng."


    With the thunderous apuse of the crowd, Jia Hao got back to his seat.


    " Who is that girl? You know her?"


    " Instead of praising me, You are asking about her?" Jia Hao was speechless when he heard Su Xing''s question.


    " I mean, Your fight was great." Su Xing''er coughed lightly. " But, You were talking too friendly with that woman."


    " Indeed, Who is that girl? She looks pretty beautiful and¡­capable. I feel like she might be a shrewd businesswoman." Su Lan spoke in a light tone.


    " Even you, Sister Lan?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh. " Well, You can say she is an acquaintance. She is the one who helped me to get dirt on Li Tao."


    " She is Feng Yunshi and affiliated to the Haizhou Food Conglomerate."


    " Ah, I guess my doubt was true." Su Lan nodded with approval.


    " Your senses are too kneen, Sister Lan." Jia Hao couldn''t help but click his tongue.


    " Only an acquaintance?" Su Xing''er raised her brows. " I mean¡­"


    " Alright, I know you don''t believe me. But she is just a friend." Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    " Now, Focus on your performance, will you?"


    " Hmph, Don''t worry about me." Su Xing''er chuckled as she got up. " I guess my turn hase again."


    Since Su Xing''er was fighting in the unarmed section, she was able to get upper hand in most matches thanks to herbined ability of Judo and Eight Trigram Palms.


    Meanwhile, After Feng Yunshi, The streak of Jia Hao''s One Inch Punch continued.


    " What''s with tha young man? How could he win like this?"


    " His attacks are so fast! Within a blink of an eye, he managed to defeat his opponent."


    " Such a new and fast technique, I wonder where did he learned it from?"


    The judges sitting were also speechless when they saw Jia Hao''s winning streaks.


    " That young man''s moves are so natural."


    " Indeed, he is simply using minimum movement to maximize his effect."


    " How could a young man like him possess such power and judgement?"


    " Surely, not some ancient martial arts family messing here, right?"


    Soon enough, Jia Hao won the number one title in Junior Mixed Martial Arts division.


    Simrly, Su Xing''er got the first ce in unarmed division, albeit after much more struggle.


    She got bruised a lot, but the smile after winning covered it all.


    As for the Armed Division, a young man with Nanxi Sword Art style won the first ce. He looked at Jia Hao with some apprehension.


    Jia Hao only smiled back at him as he looked at Jiang Ruoyou.


    " Sister Jiang, Now, It''s your turn."


    " Indeed, You guys did well." Jiang Ruoyou smiled as he rubbed both of their hair.


    " Well, My dojo disciple did so well. How can I fall behind?"


    Jia Hao looked at Jiang Ruoyou with wry smile. " Well, You need to be careful, Sister Jiang."


    " Northern Tai Mountain Sect probably in a very bad mood. I defeated their disciples too badly."


    " You think I am afraid of those old bastards?" Jiang Ruoyou''s lips curled upwards when she heard that.


    " I have been practicing the new Eight Trigram Palms you gave to me. And the improvement was significant."


    " Hehe, I can''t wait to try them in reality."


    " I hope you seed, Sister Jiang." Jia Hao chuckled. " Because, I am hoping of getting some generous reward from you after we bag all the first prize."


    Jiang Ruoyou''s expression turned rosy when she heard Jia Hao asking for reward.


    '' This rascal¡­I know exactly what kind of reward you are thinking of.'' Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips as she nodded.


    " We shall see thatter."


    After a while, thepetition for the senior martial artists finally started. Perhaps there are only one or two who are as young as Jiang Ruoyou.


    However, After seeing Jia Hao and Su Xing''er''s performance, everyone looked at Southern Edge Dojo with newfound admiration.


    " Hmph, Let''s see what a youngss like you can do here."


    With a snort, a middle aged man walked on the stage.


    " Qi Luo from Yellow g Dojo, I am proficient in Five Beast Kung Fu."

 Chapter 132: Doping In Match

    *BAM! BAM! BAM!*


    Qi Luo''s arms moved like serpents as he focused all of his powers in his fingertips.


    " Venomous Serpent Pike!"


    " Marsh Flipping Palm!"


    Jiang Ruoyou''s palm moved slowly as she located all the attack, deflecting them with ease. Although her palm moved slowly, they created a heavy and dense defensive stance, not letting Qi Luo''s attack reach her.


    " Wind and Lightning Palm!"


    " Agile Ape Steps!"


    Taking a step forward, Jiang Ruoyou''s palm struck out like a sh of lightning. However, Qi Luo hopped lightly, twisting his body to evade Jiang Ruoyou''s attack.


    The Five Beasts Kung Fu mimics the abilities of five animals, Tiger, Serpent, Mantis, Ape, and Crane.


    Using an ape''s lightness, Qi Luo''s body fluttered as he stood on a single leg, without losing his bnce a single bit. He swung his other foot, striking a powerful kick toward Jiang Ruoyou.


    " Flying Crane Kick!"


    " Ugh!"


    The kick was too fast for Jiang Ruoyou. She tried to block it, but she still got hit by it, making her force backward. However, Jiang Ruoyou didn''t stand idly.


    Backing away, her feet moved as she closed the gap between her and Qi Luo. Both of her palms struck out, each in a different style.


    " Hmph! Paltry trick!"


    Both of his palms wed like tiger''s paws as he counter attacked Jiang Ruoyou.


    However, Jiang Ruoyou''s lips curled when she saw that. Surely, her left palm got blocked by Qi Luo. However, her real focus was her right hand.


    Qi Luo''s expression changed when he realized how Tiger ws got grasped by Jiang Ruoyou''s palm, making him feel like instead of cutting, his ws glided on Jiang Ruoyou''s palm.


    Jiang Ruoyou''s palm slipped past QI Luo''s attack and mmed on his chest, making him send backward.


    Qi Luo stumbled as he adjusted his body to stand stable on the ground. However, Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t let go of such an opportunity.


    " Mountain Crashing Eight Triagrams!"


    *BOOOM!*


    Jiang Ruoyou''s palm fell like a heavy mountain, swatting Qi Luo out of the duel ring. The crowd became stunned for a moment before cheering out loud.


    " So, That is Eight Trigram Palms."


    " As the advantage of Eight Trigram Palms are the different variations."


    " Despite variations, the attack power of Eight Trigram Palms is very low and it takes a lot of time to understand."


    " Southern Edge Dojo still retains its legacy after all these years, huh?"


    " Ugh¡­I admit¡­Defeat."


    Qi Luo gave a dejected sigh as he cupped his fist. " I have to admit, I thought lowly of you. However, You held the mantle of Southern Edge Dojo high as your grandfather."


    " Elder is overpraising me." Jiang Ruoyou cupped her fist in return and bowed.


    " Sister Jiang, It was so cool." Su Xing''er was excited when Jiang Ruoyou returned back to her seat.


    " But, Why does your me and Water Palm is different than mine?"


    " Because I learned the Eight Trigram Palms from my childhood. Meanwhile, you learned it recently." Jiang Ruoyou answered. " Not to mention, You usuallybine it with your judo techniques."


    " But don''t worry, As long as you practice for a few months, you will reach the same attainment as mine."


    " Hehe, I can''t wait till I reach that stage." Su Xing''er grinned.


    Jia Hao knew that Jiang Ruoyou''s martial arts talent was pretty good. Not to mention, after receiving the improved Eight Trigram Palms, Jiang Ruoyoy''s strength increased by quite a lot.


    The variations of the Eight Trigram Palm allow the practitioner to parry various other techniques. However, they also need to learn theprehend each variation and then apply them in real fights.


    So, the requirement for learning Eight Trigram Palm is very high. However, Jiang Ruoyou and Su Xing''er both have the talent for it.


    As time passed, Jiang Ruoyou''s opponent grew harder and harder. However, Jiang Ruoyou''s battle spirit remained the same.


    She fought with all her might, defeating her opponent one by one. The more Jiang Ruoyou fought, the more refined her technique became.


    After all, The martial arts technique could only grow after continuous practice. Currently, Jiang Ruoyou found such opponents whom she can fight without holding back.


    Jia Hao had to admit that the martial arts in Tianshu Nation were pretty diverse.


    '' Hmm, As far as I know, there should be some martial arts techniques hidden around like easter eggs.''


    Such hidden easter eggs weremon in Urban Fantasy games. However, most yers didn''t bother to get them. Because they barely affected in-game progress.


    If a plot is already fixed as a bad ending plot, no amount of martial arts techniques or superpowers would save your heroine from getting NTRed.


    For example, Let''s assume the yer got the Supreme God Technique after grinding for hours. And they also got Supreme Divine Ultra Elixir to shorten their practice time and gain immense strength.


    Guess what?


    The viin would simply drug your ss and then pull out some sort of super poison from his ass to seal your strength.


    After that, the scene of your waifu and viin enjoying sex before your paralyzed body would y.


    '' But now, Such techniques have be a reality. I shouldn''t miss the chance to get them and increase my strength.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    '' Also, I can simply bring those techniques into the Yun continent to enchant them. If ordinary techniques can be something like Hundred Army Battle Formation, then what if I bring top grade techniques with me?''


    '' Will probability be affected? Like silver can turn into gold easily, but turning gold into diamond would be much harder?''


    '' No matter what, I need to try it.''


    Jiang Ruoyou''s efforts and talent already led her to the finals. And everyone looked forward to the final match.


    " Heh, Eight Trigram Palms? What a joke."


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he looked at Jiang Ruoyou''s next opponent. He looked like a man who just reached the age of thirty, yet his body was well built with no signs of middle age.


    After drinking water, he threw that bottle and walked on the stage.


    " It''s just a cheap copy from the Twelve Martial Palms."


    [ Bottle of Enhanced Tonic: A mix of Hundred Year old Yellow Ginseng and Twisted Ground Root inside cold spring water. Without any side effects, it increases the strength of the drinker for a few minutes]


    '' This bastard, He is using doping, eh?''


    Jia Hao snorted when he looked at the bottle with his Sage''s Divine Eyes.

 Chapter 133: Su Yunqi Seeking Relationship Advice

    Indeed, it wasn''t any drugs, but just tonic water. And it will pass most drug tests. However, such a thing would let the person gain an upper hand in the matches.


    " Calling Eight Trigram Palm a cheap technique, Are you from Mount Song Vi?" Jiang Ruoyou snorted. " Your northens would never respect southern martial arts."


    " That''s something I, Chao Yuan would decide." Chao Yuan snorted as he walked forward.


    As both of them got ready, both Jiang Ruoyou and Chao Yuan made their moves at the same time.


    However, Chao Yuan was faster, flipping Jiang Ruoyou''s palm attacks easily. He swatted both of her palms and punched her waist.


    Jiang Ruoyou swept her legs and twisted her body to dodge the punch. But she got hit in the end, making her fly backward.


    Enduring the pain, Jiang Ruoyounded gracefully. Her expression became solemn when she saw the carefree attitude of Chao Yuan.


    " Take this!"


    Jiang Ruoyou rushed forward as she used Great Mountain and Rippling Lake Palm at once. However, Chao Yuan''s Twelve Martial Palms were like a great barrier, nullifying all the attacks of Jiang Ruoyou.


    The fight dragged over tens of minutes, yet Chao Yuan didn''t goy hit a single time. And as the time passed, Chao Yuan got more and more overwhelming.


    '' Damn it! How is he so powerful?'' Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but curse in her heart. '' I can''t see a single opening in his heart. How am I going to defeat him?''


    '' Is this how far I am going to go?'' Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but feel dejected.


    '' No! Even if I am going to lose, I will lose while giving all my effort!''


    Suddenly, She saw Chao Yuan''s expression changing as if he saw something terrifying. That moment of falter gave Jiang Ruoyou a chance.


    " Heaven and Earth Trigram Palm!"


    *BOOM!"


    Using all her momentum, Jiang Ruoyou''s palm fell like meteors, pushing Chao Yuan out of the ring.


    " Argh! Wh-What happened?"


    Chao Yuan came back to his senses as he looked around with confusion. " I¡­I lost? How is this possible!?"


    " You! You cheated! You bewitched me!"


    " Chao Yuan, Have you gone mad?" Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but be speechless. " How can I cheat? We fought before everyone fair and square. And what the hell it mean by I bewitched you?"


    " Contestant Chao Yuan, Don''t make a fuss." The referee quickly intervened. " This match, Jiang Ruoyou of Southern Edge Dojo wins!"


    " Jiang Ruoyou is the champion of this year''s National Martial Arts Tournament."


    " No! Impossible!"


    Chao Yuan wanted to protest, but he was dragged away by the security guards. After all, thanks to the shit nature of Mount Song Vi, many others gloated when Chao Yuan lost.


    Even though Jiang Ruoyou dismissed Chao Yuan''s im, she couldn''t help but feel doubtful. After all, Chao Yuan was doing so well.


    But what happened in that instant, making him falter like that?''


    '' My face isn''t that frightening, is it?''


    Jiang Ruoyou rubbed her cheek as she couldn''t help but feel nervous.


    " OMG! OMG! OMG! Sister Jiang! We won!"


    Su Xing''er rushed to Joang Ruoyou and hugged her tightly. Jing Ruoyou nodded with a big smile as she didn''t thought about Chao Yuan anymore.


    " Indeed, Xing''er, We won. I have to thank you and Jia Hao a lot Without you guys, I couldn''t have done it." Jiang Ruoyou sighed as she hugged Su Xing''er.


    " Hehe, Indeed. That Chao Yuan is a sneaky bastard. But guess, Sister Jiang defeated him." Jia Hao chortled as he stood beside Su Xing''er, crossing his arms.


    '' This¡­Why do I feel Jia Hao has the hands in this?'' Jiang Ruoyou red at Jia Hao.


    She saw Jia Hao''s lips curling into a coy grin as if he nodding to what Jiang Ruoyou was thinking.


    " Anyway, Let''s go to the stage, Sister Jiang. I am eager to get the prize."


    " Hehe, Alright Xing''er."


    Jiang Ruoyou held the symbol of the Southern Edge Dojo as she walked on the stage. With everyone''s cheer and apuse, she received the prize and certificate.


    " Thank you, everyone, for supporting me here. Even after all these years, our Southern Edge Dojo kept the ancient martial arts with all our care. My grandfather passed it to my father and my father did the same to me. And I shall also pass it to the next generation, ensuring our heritage never gets lost."


    " I also thank two of my juniors, Jia Hao and Su Xing''er, who willingly learned the technique from our dojo.''"


    Jia Hao rubbed his ear as Jiang Ruoyou gave a lengthy speech. After all, he gets bored of such things easily.


    In fact, Jia Hao used the desire qi to manipte Chao Yuan''s heart, making him feel danger and afraid of Jiang Ruoyou''s attack.


    '' But then, I wouldn''t have liked it if that bastard had won. Since he cheated, I also got permission to help Jiang Ruoyou, No?'' Jia Hao shrugged in his heart.


    '' Besides, I need to gift better things to Jiang Ruoyou and get better rewards from her.''


    '' Hehe, Tonight, I shall properly teach herthe Eight Trigram Yin Yang Bedroom Technique.''

    " Miss Ran, Thank you for epting our offer."


    " It''s nothing, Miss Yunqi. I know you are a very capable individual, much better than that Li Tao."


    Su Yunqi smiled when she heard that. Before she sat a woman who just reached her 60th birthday. However, other than some minor wrinkles and a stylish stream of white hair amidst ck hair, she looked like a woman in herte thirties.


    Not to mention, The two handsome secretaries standing behind him, each of them are in their mid twenties with boyish charm.


    Ran Jiyue smiled when she saw Su Yunqi''s gaze. She sent two of the secretaries outside as sheughed lightly.


    " What is it, Lady Su? Thinking of me as an old cow lusting after young grasses?"


    " Ah! No-Not realy!" Su Yunqi was flustered as she shook her head.


    " I have heard your struggles, Miss Ran. No matter what your age, indulging a bit is fine, as long as it doesn''t hurt others."


    " You are very understanding, Boss Su. Not many think of that." Ran Jiyue sighed as she sipped some tea.


    After talking about business for an hour, Su Yunqi finally opened her mouth.


    " Um¡­Miss Ran, Can you shed some light¡­on the rtionship¡­" She paused and reconstructed her sentence.


    " Imagine if an olddy falls for someone young¡­and that young person might be a rtive of hers¡­What should she do?"

 Chapter 134: Training? Why Are You Taking Off Your Clothes?

    Ran Jiyue''s eyes squinted when she heard that question. A smile slowly curled on her lips.


    Su Yunqi realized what she spoke, making her blush heavily. " Miss Ran, No need to heed my words. I just¡­saw a movie and blurted out the question."


    " Alright, Let''s talk about the remaining deals¡­"


    " No, Yunqi, No need to change the topic." Ran Jiyue shook her hands. " Just get me some soft drink. Tea isn''t suitable for this conversation."


    " Huh?"


    Su Yunqi blinked when she heard Ran Jiyue. With a soft nod, she ordered two cans of soft drink.


    " Mmm, Despite various things, this cheap shit''s spike is the best." Ran Jiyue took a sip as she sighed.


    " Well, I didn''t expect Su Yunqi to also have a soft side." Ran Jiyue chuckled. " Besides, I see my shadow on you. A sessful businesswoman, a young widow, the pressure of the corporate world, everything here can be too vexing."


    " Unfortunately, during my time, women didn''t have many privileges. Otherwise, I would have enjoyed quite a lot of things."


    " But, Look at me now. I am basically retired while holding stocks of various corporations. I am what they say, a rich great aunt?" Ran Jiyue puckered her lips.


    " These two boys, Aren''t they pretty handsome?" She grinned, drinking more soft drinks. " They just recently finished their internship a year ago. I offered them money and they gave me their service."


    " Tut tut, I have to admit. Young studs are good¡­And what''s better? Two of them are."


    Su Yunqi almost spat out when she heard Ran Jiyue''s words However, she couldn''t help but admire the boldness of Ran Jiyue.


    Indeed, she is a single rich woman and she can do whatever she wants with her money. And, she is also so frank, talking about such intimate matters without much worry.


    " So, What is troubling you, Su Yunqi? I am very interested in your story."


    " Well, Miss Jiyue, You see¡­"


    " Nope, Not Miss Jiyue. Just call me aunt." Ran Jiyue smiled. " I mean¡­You can also call me big sister, I am not that old looking."


    " Hehe, Aunt Jiyue then." Su Yunqi chuckled when she heard that. After all, calling Ran Jiyue big sister would be a bit too much.


    Taking a deep sip, Su Yunqi started to subtly exin the matter of Jia Hao and her rtionship, and the events that happened until now.


    " Tsk tsk, so your so called Step Son now became a capable man in your eyes, eh?"


    Ran Jiyue couldn''t help but giggle. " Goodness, You are really awakening my linking to taboo romance."


    " Aunt Jiyue, It''s not a joking matter." Su Yunqi pouted. " You must listen to mepletely."


    " Ahaha, Alright. But, are you sure he is just neen years old?" Ran Jiyue raised her brows. " The things he did¡­Is it really possible for a neen year old young man to do?"


    " It''s true, Aunt Jiyue. If not for him, I¡­I would have suffered a devastating loss, not only financially, but physically and mentally too."


    " Hmm, the description of Jia Hao¡­I feel like he is a young wolf inside your family."'' Ran Jiyue became amused. " And, I guess¡­He already started to bare his fangs."


    " You¡­You are saying that Jia Hao might be looking to harm my family?" Su Yunqi spoke with disbelief.


    " Not like that¡­" Ran Jiyue shook her head. " Yunqi, There are three types of men in this world. Those who are aloof of everything and mind their own business, they are a pretty minority."


    " Those who have greed in mind but all they could daydream. Most men fall under this category. These types of men would dance on a woman''s fingertips."


    " As for the remaining one¡­They are the men who arepletely greedy and have the capital to achieve what they desire."


    " Unlike the second category of men, these men do their best to achieve their goals. Morals, ethics, and other things don''t work for them. They are simply the type of men who either get what they wish¡­Or die trying."


    " Heh, I remember the night with the CEO of Grand Trident Corporation."


    " Him?" Su Yunqi was rmed.


    " Indeed, that fierce bastard who can make the entire Tianshu Country''s industries tremble in fear with a snort."


    " He actually waited with patience, slowly weaving his silk web around me." Ran Jiyue smiled bitterly. " And I fell into it."


    " But hey, It''s not like he never helped me after taking advantage of me. Thanks to him, I am standing where I am now."


    " Anyway, As I said¡­I feel this Jia Hao is the same as as him. Greedy and ambitions higher than the sky. And¡­I believe he is naturally attracted to you."


    " Su Yunqi, This is already a modern age and you are a sessful woman." Ran Jiyue got up and picked up her purse. " Why not taste the pleasure which you haven''t in years?"


    " But aunt¡­He is still my step son." Su Yunqi smiled bitterly.


    " Not blood rted, yeah?" Ran Jiyueughed. " Now, if you don''t take a chance, you are going to regret it when he is going to find a love interest."


    " So, Don''t torment yourself and give it a shot."


    " I¡­ Huh?"


    Su Yunqi looked at her phone and saw the picture sent by Su Lan. She saw Su Xing''er and Jia Hao taking first prizes in the National Martial Arts tournament.


    Su Lan also sent videos of Jia Hao''s fighting, making Su Yunqi''s heart thump with excitement.


    " Hohoho, Is that Jia Hao?" Ran Jiyue''s eyes sparkled. " What a handsome fe. Not like those gigolos but he got more of that¡­masculine charm."


    " Tsk, only if I was twenty years younger, I¡­"


    " He is just a teenager, Aunt Ran." Su Yunqi covered her phone as she red at her.


    " What? I guess that''s already past the age of consent?" Ran Jiyue blinked. " Believe me, Kids these days are much smarter."


    " Argh! It''s enough, Aunt!"


    " Hehe¡­" Ran Jiyue smiled as she turned to leave. " Well, I am going to leave now."


    " But before I go, I would still ask you to follow your heart''s wish. After all, life is short. Why not indulge in some pleasure and excitement?"


    Her two secretaries came inside and Ran Jiyue hugged both of them. " Alright fes, Momma going to have some fun with you in the hotel."


    " As you wish."


    " I have already prepared my car."


    Su Yunqi stood with utter speechlessness as Ran Jiyue kissed both of her secretaries one by one passionately before leaving.


    '' This witch¡­Why do I feel she is going to suck them dry today?''


    '' No, That''s not important. The important thing is¡­Jia Hao.''


    '' Maybe I should return home and talk with him. He and Xing''er did well in the tournament. So, I should reward them, no?''


    Getting up, Su Yunqi put a smile on her face.


    After all, she also has the share good news from her end.


    Because, soon, Qingzhu Jewelry going to merge with Blue Crystal Corporation.


    When she returned to the mansion in the evening, she saw Xing''er sitting on the couch with Su Lan.


    " Mom! You are back!"


    " Gosh! We missed you so much!"


    " Sorry, My darlings. Mama goy busy in work." Su Yunqi hugged both of them with a smile. " But guess what? Our biggest headache is gone now."


    " What?" Su Lan understood Su Yunqi''s words. " You managed to convince Qingzhu Jewelry to merge with ourpany?"


    " Yep."


    " Wow, That''s so awesome." Su Lan was excited. " Now, Ourpany will grow faster than ever."


    " Well, We shall talk about thatter. For now, I need to congratte Xing''er and Hao''er." Su Yunqi smiled. " But speaking of Hao''er, Where is he? In his room?"


    " Haah, Don''t ask about that dummy." Su Xing''er huffed as she looked away. " He said he got some work outside and won''t being back tonight."


    " Is that so?"


    Su Yunqi''s expression faltered when she heard that. '' Is he¡­Is he still avoiding me after all these times? After what happened that night?''


    '' Damn it, I really need to confess my feeling to him.''


    '' I hope he doesn''t take any drastic steps.''


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but feel love and concern overflowing or Jia Hao.


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Customer, This is the realistic metal alloy armor ourpany produces." A person showed Jia Hao an ancient armor. " It''s far beyond the realm of cosying. This armor can easily block arrows like in medieval times."


    " And the design is crafted meticulously, like ancient Han Dynasty warriors."


    " Mhmh, These pieces look great. How about you prepare a thousand pieces of them?" Jia Hao looked at the manager.


    " A¡­A thousand pieces?" The person was stunned.


    " Why? You can''t do?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " I am willing to pay a million yuan right away as advance."


    " Customer this¡­Don''t worry!" The manager took a deep breath and smiled brightly.


    " We can absolutely do it."


    " Then start preparing already. I shall collect it within a week." Jia Hao spoke. " Also, Swords, Sabers, and spears, craft a few hundred of them."


    '' Damn it, Is this person going to make a realistic y of ancient wars?'' The person couldn''t help but look at Jia Hao with a strange gaze.


    But then, rich people have weird hobbies. As long as he is getting paid, he will do whatever Jia Hao asks.


    Jia Hao left the ce as he walked into Southern Edge Dojo, which was already closed. He walked to the training room, with Jiang Ruoyou standing there under dim light, in her martial arts uniform.


    " You really wanted to train right now?" Jiang Ruoyou was surprised. " You are putting effort in learning¡­"


    " Wait, Why are you taking off your clothes?"

 Chapter 135: Great Pervert’s Molestation Art

    After leaving thepetition arena, Jia Hao smiled at Jiang Ruoyou. " Sister Jiang, Since we have won thepetition, shouldn''t you give me a reward now?"


    " A reward you say, hm?" Jiang Ruoyou pursed her lips when she heard that. " Well, Giving you what you are asking isn''t impossible¡­"


    But before Jiang Ruoyou could state anything further, Jia Hao cut her sentence.


    " Very well, Sister Jiang. How about this? Come and meet me in the Southern Edge Dojo?"


    " For what? What are you going to do there sote?" Jiang Ruoyou raised her brows. " No one would be there at that time though?"


    " Hehe, Precisely for that." Jia Hao grinned deviously. " I wanted to teach you some secret moves, Sister Jiang. So, I hope youe and meet me there."


    " And please, pleasee while wearing your uniform."


    " Huh?"


    Jiang Ruoyou red at Jia Hao, knowing his intentions were anything but pure.


    '' But¡­Is he serious about that?'' Jiang Ruoyou pondered inwardly. '' Otherwise, why would he ask me toe with my uniform?''


    '' That''s it, I think I might be misunderstanding him. Maybe he genuinely wants to help me.'' Jiang Ruoyou clenched her fist with a nod.


    " Alright, I shalle."


    " Hehe, Then, Let''s meet then." Jia Hao smiled as he turned around to leave.


    Jiang Ruoyou truly thought Jia Hao was going to show her something new. And, she wasn''t wrong either.


    It was just the new thing was something¡­she both expected and didn''t expect to see.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Wh-Why are you taking off your clothes?" Jiang Ruoyou was stunned as she took a step back.


    " Well? Didn''t I tell you?" Jia Hao grinned as he revealed his toned upper body, brimming with strength and vitality.


    " We are going to celebrate our victory with intense training."


    " ¡­ I¡­ I knew it."


    Jiang Ruoyou sighed with frustration. There is no way Jia Hao would ask something that won''t be perverted.


    " Hehe, Sister Jiang,I already talked to you about this." Jia Hao smirked. " After today, Southern Edge Dojo will ced into the martial arts hall of fame."


    " Not to mention, you will also gain the government''s permission to participate in various cultural programs, boosting the image of Southern Edge Dojo."


    " Alright, no need to sugarcoat me." Jiang Ruoyou showed her palm to Jia Hao, prompting him to stop.


    " Thank you very much for your help. But that doesn''t mean we can fuck."


    " We can''t?" Jia Hao raised his brows.


    " I mean¡­" Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips as she felt heat rising on her cheek. " Shouldn''t we give more time¡­to ourselves?"


    " Hehe, How about this, Miss Champion?" Jia Hao crossed his arms, smiling yfully at Jiang Ruoyou''s shyness. " If you manage to defeat me, then¡­ I won''t do anything tonight."


    " You are stronger than me, Why should I agree?" Jiang Ruoyou refused. She is not going to fall into Jia Hao''s trap.


    " Aw, Is that so?" Jia Hao became amused. " How about this? Instead of fighting, we y a game of tag. If you manage to touch me first, I will admit defeat, yes?"


    " This¡­"


    Jiang Ruoyou''s lips twitched, but she didn''t refuse it outright. Sure, Jia Hao can be more powerful, but in this confined space, how hard it would be to catch him?


    '' But since he is proposing¡­I think he is confident in it. But then¡­.The offer is too tempting.''


    Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ruoyou stared at Jia Hao. " So, All I need to do is to catch you first, right?"


    " Yes, that''s it." Jia Hao smirked. " But in opposite, if I catch your first¡­You shall know it then."


    " Hmph, Don''t be too cocky, Brat." Jiang Ruoyou snorted as she adjusted her robe.


    As both of them stood before each other, Jia Hao let Jiang Ruoyou make the first move.


    " Hahh!"


    Jiang Ruoyou''s body was like a tensed wire, which snapped suddenly with immense force. Her figure moved as her palm shot out.


    However, the palm missed Jia Hao''s body by a hair as Jia Hao twisted his body to evade. Jiang Ruoyou didn''t stop as her body kept moving like a fluttering butterfly.


    She was more focused than her match in the National Martial Tournament. However, despite all her efforts, she couldn''t touch Jia Hao at all.


    It was like Jia Hao was a slippery loach. Each time she was about to hit him, his body would dodge by a hair''s breadth, making her more and more frustrated.


    " Alright, I have given you enough time." Jia Hao snickered as he swung his feet. " It''s my turn now."


    " Ah!"


    With Jia Hao''s sudden movement, Jiang Ruoyou''s feet swept off the ground. However, before she couldnd, she found himself in Jia Hao''s arms.


    " Well, You let your guard down and your opponent captured you, Miss Jiang." Jia Hao''s face shed with a devilish grin.


    " First Stance of Great Pervert''s Molestation Art, Spank!"


    *PAA!"


    " Ahn!~"


    A sting of pain spread from Jiang Ruoyou''s butt. However, instead of shouting, a strange moan escaped from Jiang Ruoyou''s lips, making her confused and aroused.


    " Jia Hao! You bas-bastard! You dare to spank me!"


    *PAA! PAA!"


    " Ahnn!~ It¡­It hurts!"


    Jiang Ruoyou tried to struggle free from Jia Hao, but he was holding her too strongly, making her ept the spanks helplessly.


    " You silly, Girl!" *SPANK!!*" You made me wait for so long, despite promising to have sex earlier."


    " Ahnn!~ I am¡­.I am sorry Jia Hao!" Tears welled up in Jiang Ruoyou''s eyes.


    Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction as he loosened his grasp, making Jiang Ruoyou bolt out instantly.


    " You bastard! It hurts!" Jiang Ruoyou shouted as she rubbed her ass.


    " Well, I told you. We are going to train." Jia Hao grinned. " Although you have the power to defeat ordinary viins, what if a pervert with a strength of mine appears?"


    " That''s why I am training you, Sister Jiang." Jia Hao taunted her. " Now, Shall we resume our game?"


    " Rascal! I am going to beat you!"


    Jiang Ruoyou rushed towards Jia Hao. She used the Eight Trigram Palms directly, trying to attack Jia Hao. However,, like like earlier, Jia Hao kept dodging her attack.


    Jiang Ruoyou felt very angry, but she also noticed the peculiarities in Jia Hao''s movement. His movements were fluid as water, changing as he wished.


    '' Not to mention, his footwork is very basic, but pretty fast. As if he controlled every aspect of his body, making him move fast naturally.'' Jiang Ruoyou became frustrated.


    Suddenly, she saw Jia Hao using his feet again, making a smile curl on her lips.


    " I won''t be tricked twice!"


    She kicked out, trying to tangle Jia Hao''s legs. But his feet hit the air, missing Jia Hao entirely. Jiang Ruoyou was stunned when she realized Jia Hao vanished before him, appearing right behind her.


    " Second stance of Great Pervert''s Molestation Art! Horny Bear''s Paw!"


    Jiang Ruoyou was stunned when she felt Jia Hao hugging her from behind. His pair of evil paws slipped inside her robe, squeezing her breasts roughly.


    '' Damn it, I didn''t even wear any bra underneath! This¡­This feels!''


    Her mind blurred as another wave of pleasure burst into her body. Jia Hao''s caress was simply masterful, gently cupping her breasts like a soft dough.


    " Ahhn!~ Jia Hao¡­Pervert!"


    " What? As I said¡­" Jia Hao grinned. " You need to remain aware of a pervert with strength the same as mine."


    " Luckily, I will intercept them before theye to you. So¡­The only pervert you need to face is...Me!"


    " Ahnn!~"


    Jiang Ruoyou moaned as Jia Hao pinched both of her nipples at the same time, making them sting with a strange pleasure. Under the stimtion of Jia Hao, she felt her nipples get erect and hard, aching for more attention from Jia Hao.


    '' Nghhh! Why¡­Why does it feel so good¡­He is treating me so roughly yet¡­''


    With a muffled groan, Jiang Ruoyou escaped his grasp again, panting heavily.


    " Well, As I said¡­Don''t let me touch you first." Jia Hao grinned as he sniffed his palmsciviously. " Mmm¡­Sweet."


    Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but shiver when she saw that. It was both disgust and arousal, making her heart conflicted.


    " Jia Hao, You shall lose this time!"


    Suddenly, Jiang Ruoyou rushed toward Jia Hao and punched him. Jia Haoughed as he used the Water Carrying Steps as usual, evading swiftly.


    However, his expression changed when he saw a coy grin on Jiang Ruoyou''s face.


    Suddenly, she pulled her robe down and shed her pair of perky white boobies before Jia Hao''s eyes.


    Jia Hao was stunned by the unexpected move, giving Jiang Ruoyou a rare opportunity. She swept her leg and made Jia Hao fall.


    However, Jia Hao reacted and fell on top of her. Instinctively, Jiang Ruoyou used her legs as a pincer to mp Jia Hao''s neck.


    But then, she felt something was wrong.


    " Hehe, I won''t say I mind this lose though."


    " Yo-You!!"


    She realized Jia Hao''s face was pressed right on her crotch as she locked him in that state. She tried to release him, but he kept holding her.


    " Yo-You!"


    With a flip, Jia Hao was on top of Jiang Ruoyou. He leaned down, kissing her passionately while teasing her breasts.


    " Great Pervert''s Molestation Art, Third Stance¡­Kiss of Submission!"


    "Jiang Ruoyou struggled, but she finally submitted to her desires. Jia Hao grinned as he posed his question.


    " Sister Jiang, Instead of Tag, shall we start a wrestling match now?"


    ".... Whatever you say, Pervert."

 Chapter 136: Dojo Masters Reward (R-18)

    Jia Hao slowly loosened Jiang Ruoyou''s martial robe, letting more and more of her skin exposed under his gaze.


    " Rascal¡­Why didn''t you just¡­tell me?" Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but whimper. " We could have done¡­In a hotel."


    " Tsk, Sister Jiang, you have no sense of eroticism." Jia Hao chuckled as he pressed her underneath him, slowly caressing her bountiful chest.


    " Don''t you feel more excited while doing it inside the dojo¡­in your uniform?"


    " Bastard¡­You are shameless!" Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but spit out. However, she had to admit that Jia Hao''s words struck a sweet spot in her heart.


    " Hehe, I thought you only liked men stronger than you, Sister Jiang?" Jia Hao grinned as his fingers rolled her perky nipples between them.


    " Now, How are you feeling? Your student defeating you in both strength and bed?"


    " Hnnngh!~ Do-Don''t tease me¡­so much!"


    Jiang Ruoyou felt a strange intoxication spreading in her body. The more Jia Hao touched, the more it invoked her hidden desires.


    " Tsk tsk¡­Sister Jiang, You are already soaking wet down here." Jia Hao gave a devious chuckle as his middle finger and ring finger slowly entered her sacred well, gently teasing her inner walls.


    Her fingers were surely wonderous, caressing and poking the sweetest spot, making Jiang Ruoyou''s body quiver with pleasure.


    " Nnnghh!~ It¡­It feels so¡­Good!"


    " Say, Sister Jiang¡­Are you wet because you want me?"


    " Yes¡­.Yess! Stop tormenting me~" Jiang Ruoyou felt her reasoning in her brain slowly turning into mush under Jia Hao''s skilled fingers.


    " Just give it to me!!"


    " Give exactly what, Sister Jiang?" Jia Hao smirked, teasing her further.


    " Damn it!"


    Jiang Ruoyou clenched her teeth as she realized how Jia Hao was ying with her. However, What can she do?


    Although she has been appearing normal, her body already craving Jia Hao''s touch from the first day they met.


    At first, She thought Jia Hao was just a pervert who is using her. However, from time to time he helped her genuinely.


    '' And no matter what I say¡­This bastard is too skilled in handling a woman''s body.'' Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips as she tried to suppress her moans.


    Indeed, from the very first time Jia Hao started to tease her, she had been craving some sexual relief. She even watched porn on the inte and fingered herself. Yet, it couldn''t give the same satisfaction Jia Hao gave.


    '' Mmm¡­Besides I am already getting old. Should I¡­not try the taste of forbidden fruit?''


    And when she was thinking of the forbidden fruit, her eyes lowered, seeing Jia Hao taking off his pants, making his length spring free from constraints.


    Suddenly, it was a giant shadow cast before Jiang Ruoyou, a pir casting a shadow over her in the bright daylight.


    " Forbidden fruit¡­Ba¡­Banana? No¡­A divine banana¡­"


    " Sister Jiang?"


    " Ah¡­.Yes¡­"


    Jiang Ruoyou gulped when heard Jia Hao''s calling. Jia Hao saw her bewilderment, making him smirk.


    " You still didn''t say what you want, Sister Jiang¡­"


    " Nngh! I want¡­" Jiang Ruoyou bit her lips as she pushed the words out of her mouth.


    " I want your cock. Give me¡­your cock."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao grinned as he gently moved his hips, rubbing the tip of his length on the wet folds of Jiang Ruoyou.


    " NNghhh!~ Jia Hao!! Don''t¡­Tease me anymore." Jiang Ruoyou gasped as she spread her legs wider before Jia Hao.


    " Just put it in!"


    " Hehe, As you wish, Sister Jiang." Jia Hao grinned as he slowly moved her hips, showing his length inside the dripping folds of Jiang Ruoyou.


    " Hnnngh! It''s¡­It''s so big!~"


    Jiang Ruoyou gasped as she felt Jia Hao and her body connecting slowly.


    It wasn''t like she had never seen his cock before. However, now seeing such a huge thing prating her made Jiang Ruoyou''s heart beat wildly.


    As Jia Hao gave a final shove, a sting of pain spreads from her lower abdomen, making Jiang Ruoyou cry. However, Jia Hao leaned on her, gently kissing en teasing her breasts.


    " It''s alright¡­Just a bit of pain, Sister Jiang. Soon, it will vanish."


    " Hnngh!~ It¡­It''s too much¡­"


    Tears welled up in Jiang Ruoyou''s eyes, but she slowly calmed her heart. As Jia Hao slowly started to move his hips, the pain of defloration slowly subsided, turning into a strange physical pleasure.


    Holding her waist, Jia Hao quickened his thrusts, making Jiang Ruoyou''s body jolt back with pleasure.


    She could feel his impressive length tightly fitting inside her pussy, moving in and out with vigor.


    " Haah! Haah! Sister Jiang! You are so tight!"


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnnn!~ Jia¡­Jia Hao¡­I¡­I am cumming!~"


    Jia Hao grinned as he gave a deep thrust, making the spring water ooze out from Jiang Ruoyou''s sacred well. Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but cover her face with shame when she squirted like that.


    " Hehe, Sister Jiang, Your body is pretty honest." Jia Hao couldn''t help but tease her. " But guess what? It made things more easier."


    Suddenly, Jia Hao picked his pace as he held Jiang Ruoyou''s waist tightly.


    Jiang Ruoyou, who just climaxed, felt the sensation of Jia Hao''s pounding more vividly.


    " Ahnnn!~ Jia Hao! Wait¡­It feels¡­So weird!"


    "Ahnn!~ Ahnn!~ Jia Hao, I¡­I just came¡­It''s so¡­senstive¡­AHNN!~"


    However, such sweet moans only fueled Jia Hao''s excitement, making his thrusts faster and faster.


    Thanks to Jiang Ruoyou''s toned body, Jia Hao could feel a mind numbing flexibility in her body, making him feel even more pleasure.


    " Ahnn~ Ahnnn!~ Jia Hao¡­You are going to¡­break me¡­"


    " Hehe¡­Sister Jiang¡­" Jia Hao panted as he kept pounding. " Should I stop then?"


    " No-NO!" Jiang Ruoyou shouted instantly as she held Jia Hao tighter. " Don''t¡­Don''t stop!"


    " Haah! Haah! Very well!''


    " Nnghh!~ This¡­This feels so good.'' Jiang Ruoyou panted as she felt her body sharing warmth with Jia Hao''s body. His relentless thrusts made her body feel a pleasure she never felt before.


    '' Is this sex? Is this¡­what I am missing all these years?''


    '' Uhhnngh! The way he is dominating my body¡­My body is like¡­bing a vessel for his pleasure.''


    Their body covered with ayer of sweat and desire as Jia Hao and Jiang Ruoyou''s bodies moved in sync.


    Jiang Ruoyou moved her legs and mped around Jia Hao''s waist, making him locked even further.


    " Fufufu¡­Jia Hao¡­You better finish¡­what you have started."


    Jia Hao blinked as he looked at the sultry expression of Jiang Ruoyou.


    '' Is it just me or¡­did the legendary lewd heart eyed pupils appear in her eyes?'' Jia Hao was perplexed when he thought about that.


    But then, It''s a world of eroge and who knows what might happen?


    " Ahnn! Jia Hao¡­You are so good!"


    Jia Hao gave a few deep thrusts to check. '' Well, She ispletely drowned in lust.''


    " Haah! HaaH! Sister Jiang¡­I am¡­I am about to¡­"


    " Yes! Yes! Do it¡­Jia Hao! Fill me up!"


    With a deep plunge, Jiang Ruoyou felt Jia Hao''s length throbbing inside him. Slowly, she felt a gush of warm fluid filling herpletely, making her climax along with Jia Hao.


    Both of them panted as Jia Hao slowly rolled to the side. However, Jiang Ruoyou smirked when she saw his cock was barelyid.


    " Fufufu~ Disciple Jia¡­"


    Jia Hao shivered when he heard that. Suddenly, Jiang Ruoyou held him tightly as a smirk spread on her face.


    " Your Dojo Master needs some training."


    .

    The next morning, Jia Hao returned back to the mansion. When she entered, she saw Su Yunqiing down while rubbing her eyes.


    "Huh? Hao''er, You are back?"


    " Aunt Su?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Good morning, Aunt Su."


    " Gosh, Where have you been?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but scold him gently. " I was waiting for youst night."


    " Hehe, I am sorry, Aunt Su." Jia Hao scratched his head. " I was really busyst night."


    " But, I heard Qingzhu Jewelry is going to merge with Blue Crystal Company?" Jia Hao changed the topic. " Congrats, Aunt Su. You acted quite fast."


    " All thanks to you, Hao''er." Su Yunqi smiled. " Not to mention, I managed to convince the board members of Qingzhu Jewellery for the merger. And, Ran Jiyue helped me a lot."


    " Rank Jiyue?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    '' Isn''t that the hot granny in the game? She even managed to defeat three young men despite her age¡­'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but click his tongue when he heard that.


    Of course, he was thinking about a different sort of battle. Something simr he fought against Jiang Ruoyoust night.


    " Ahem, Miss Ran is a wise woman. She gave me¡­a lot of advice."


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned pink when she remembered Ran Jiyue''s advice.


    " Anyway, You did quite a lot, Jia Hao. So, How about we all go to a hotel tonight to celebrate?"


    " A dinner?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I mean, Hotel food is good¡­But, I would like to eat your cooking, Aunt Su."


    " M-My?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but get stunned."


    " Of course, Your cuisine is simply¡­Mwahh."


    " Aww, Hao''er, You got quite a sweet tongue." Su Yunqi blushed as she caressed his hair. " Alright, Hao''er. I shall prepare a lot of dishes tonight."


    " Hehe, Thank you, Aunt Su." Jia Haoughed as he hurried upstairs.


    " I am gettingte for school. So, I shall talk when Ie back."


    Jia Hao grinned inwardly when he saw the happy expression of Su Yunqi.


    '' Aunt Su, you shall soon feel how sweet my tongue truly is¡­''

 Chapter 137: School Boards Meeting

    Going to the school with both Su sisters, Jia Hao enjoyed the ride as usual. However, this time, Su Lan sat beside Jia Hao instead of Su Xing''er.


    " I thought you love to sit in front, Sis?" Su Xing''er yed with her phone as she asked.


    " Well, I was thinking of having more legroom in the back." Su Lan winked at Jia Hao as she answered.


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but get amused by Su Lan. He saw she was secretly holding his sleeve and sitting much slower, with their arms touching each other.


    " Well, Now I remember¡­Shouldn''t today be the teacher''s meeting? Regarding what that bastard Chou Ran did?"


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Xing''er." Jia Hao smirked. " Chou Ran is going to be kicked out of the school in the most humiliating way possible."


    " Huh? How can you say?" Su Xing''er turned around and asked. " That scum got some ways to keep remaining in this school though?"


    " But not this time." Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he already prepared a huge gift for Chou Ran and Vice Principal Ding.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " So, Today''s meeting is concerned about an ugly incident that happened four days ago." The school director spoke in a heavy voice. " Teacher Qin, Teacher Chou, please stand."


    " Director, I am simply innocent. Teacher Qin is just a brash woman who stormed in and humiliated me in front of my ss." Chou Ran spoke in a calm voice.


    " Are you really calling yourself innocent after molesting that girl Han Yun?" Qin Bingyu couldn''t help but sneer. " Not to mention, there are several girls who already know what sort of wretched character you are."


    " Teacher Qin, You shouldn''t use such degrading words here." Vice Principal Ding spoke in a cold voice. " It''s indeed your mistake to publicly p Teacher Chou right before students."


    " Bu-But¡­"


    " But what? It created a negative image of Teacher Chou among the students. How are you going to solve that."


    " Calm down, everyone." The director spoke. " We don''t have time for such off topic discussion. This case sparked anger among the parents. And we need to discuss this problem."


    " Then let''s simply ask the victim?" Vice Principal Ding proposed.


    " Indeed, Let''s simply ask that girl."


    " But we need to be careful. We can''t put too much pressure on her."


    " Ahem, I shall bring her here then."


    The other teachers discussed as they also agreed. After that, Han Yun entered the room.


    " Student Han Yun, is it?" The director spoke with a polite smile. " Sorry for troubling you. But, are you alright?"


    " Yes, Director." Han Yun bowed politely, not making any eye contact with Chou Ran.


    " So, I believe you know why we called you here?" The director''s voice was calm. " So, Let me be straight. I want to hear your testimonial regarding that day''s event."


    " Is Teacher Chou is guilty?"


    Chou Ran gave a smug smile to Vice Principal Ding, and he nodded back to Chou Ran with ease.


    " Yes, Teacher Chou Ran is the culprit." Han Yun took a deep breath and spoke. " He molested me."


    *SILENCE*


    Chou Ran and Vice Principal Ding''s smug grins froze instantly when they heard Han Yun''s words. Even the Director''s expression twisted into a grave expression.


    " Director¡­I¡­ I don''t know¡­" Chou Ran hurriedly tried to say something, but Qin Bingyu interjected.


    " Chou Ran, Are you trying to threaten Han Yun?" Qin Bingyu snorted as she looked at Han Yun." Han Yun, speak everything clearly."


    " Yes, Teacher Qin¡­" Han Yun bit her lips and nodded. " Teacher Chou has been pestering me for a while. And that day also, he tried to grope me and¡­"


    The more Han Yun spoke, the more tense the atmosphere became. In the end, Han Yun broke into sobbing, making Qin Bingyu and other female teachers hurry to her.


    " Director, We must not make any rash decisions. I mean¡­" Vice Principal hurriedly spoke.


    " Ding Fu, Quiet down." The Director spoke in a calm voice.


    " Please take student Han away from this hall."


    Vice Principal Ding sat down after hearing the cold words of the Director. Meanwhile, Chou Ran''s back was covered with cold sweat as he couldn''t understand how everything went wrong.


    " Also! Teacher Chou has taken my private photos. Vice Principal Ding came to my house and threatened me to reveal them if I went against them."


    " DA-Damn It!"


    Now, It was Vice Principal''s turn to get his body cold. " Ho-How dare you to use me? You!!"


    " Vice Principal Ding came to my home that day. You can ask my mom if you think I am lying." Han Yun sneered. " Both of them¡­Both of them wanted to harm me!"


    " It''s ok, Student Han." The Director waved his hands. " Please take her away. She already spoke what she wanted to say."


    All the teachers looked at the Vice Principal and Chou Ran with a cold gaze. After Han Yun left, The Director couldn''t help but p his hands.


    " Good! Good! VERY FUCKING GOOD!"


    " I am really regretful that Principal isn''t here. Otherwise, he would have also seen two beasts in human skin." The Director spoke each word with a cold and precise voice.


    " Not to mention, Vice Principal Ding¡­Shall I also check the financial records of PE department and Laboratory equipment?"


    Hearing that, Vice Principal Ding''s eyes turned wide as he started to shiver.


    " Ho-How can you¡­"


    " How could I not?" The Director sneered. " There are quite some people who have been enraged by the shit you did. And I have all the reports."


    " Now, About Mr. Chou, you are being fired from the school. And our academy shall not bother with you anymore."


    " Meanwhile, Vice Principal Ding, you are also getting fired. And, you are also used of money embezzlement."


    " N-No, Please don''t!"


    Vice Principal fell on his knees as he kowtowed. " This¡­This is a malicious attempt to sabotage my name! Please, I don''t know anything¡­"


    " Me too!" Chou Ran also got on his knees. " This is clearly someone''s nning to tarnish our school''s name. Otherwise, Why would I¡­"


    " What a disgusting person! Chou Ran actually harassed girls in his ss!"


    " Vice Principal Ding, To think you also supported him!"


    " Money embezzlement? He actually did that?"


    " Vice Principal Ding, Teacher Chou, Please get out. We don''t wee you here." The Director simply got up. " And if you don''t, I believe you know the capabilities of our security guards."


    " Director!"


    " No! Wait!"


    Two of them begged and screamed. But no one gave a single bit of sympathy to them. Soon, the police came, arresting both of the teachers.


    '' Fuck! How could this happen? Didn''t I threaten that bitch?''


    '' That bitch! That Qin Bingyu! She ruined me!''


    But till that moment, None of were remorseful for their action. They were only regretting that they got caught.


    After all, such is the nature of many humans.

 Chapter 138: Qin Bingyus Advice

    When Jia Hao and others arrived at the school, the news already spread like wildfire. Every teacher and student talked about it with a hushed voice.


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    " Of course. I have the pictures."


    " Finally! That scumbag finally got caught."


    " That bastard, He actually picked on vulnerable girls. He never tried on the school flowers."


    " Heh, How could that bastard Chou Ran do that?" Someone else sneered. " The moment he touched the wrong girl, his life would have been over."


    " But it''s sad to see that Han Yun had to endure all these things."


    " Kudos to Teacher Qin who pped that bastard."


    " Apparently, even Vice Principal was involved."


    " So, Are we having our exam postponed?"


    " Whoa! Whoa! Stop with this delulu dude."


    Su Xing''er was pleasantly surprised when she heard that. " Damn it, Is it true?"


    " Of course." Jia Hao grinned. " Didn''t I tell you? That fucker is soon going to get his due."


    " Well well, Why do I smell your involvement here?" Su Xing''er cast a side nce at Jia Hao.


    " Oh? Why so?" Jia Hao was amused, not denying Su Xing''er''sment outright.


    " Because, You don''t show enthusiasm in incidents you don''t have any hands in." Su Xing''er replied. " And besides, you didn''t just say ''no'' right now. That means¡­"


    " Means what?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Isn''t that good I am sending such shit people to jail?"


    " I can''t let such scumbag to take advantage of any girls in my sight." Jia Hao looked at her. " Like you¡­"


    Su Xing''er''s heart thumped when she heard that.Suddenly, a smile spread on her face as she gave a gentle nudge to Jia Hao with her elbow.


    " Aww, Caring about me?"


    " Should I not?" Jia Hao raised his brows.


    " Of course, you should." Su Xing''er grinned. " But don''t worry, My step brother. I have enough strength to protect myself."


    " Forgot I am a National Martial Arts champion now?"


    Jia Hao chortled when he heard that. " But, I thought you get annoyed when I act as your step brother?"


    " I¡­" Su Xing''er realized that and coughed lightly. " I am just speaking randomly. Don''t take it seriously."


    " What a girl."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he looked at the sky. A burst of starlight condensed into a string and entered his body. He felt the energy slowly absorbed by his foundation, making him feel rejuvenated.


    '' Not bad, Those scumbags really sinned a lot. Too bad it''s still pretty less than what I needed.''


    '' Anyway, a mosquito''s meat is also meat.''


    As Jia Hao entered his ssroom, he saw Lin Mei sitting at her usual ce, surrounded by other girls.


    When they saw Jia Hao arriving, they all looked at him, giving a flirtatious smile.


    " Well, What are you girls doing now?" Jia Hao didn''t back as he asked with a light smile.


    " Oh, Nothing." Lin Mei replied. " Just seeing the shit hitting the fan in the school forum."


    " Lol yeah. To think Leecher Chou actually get arrested." One of her friends replied.


    " Teacher Qin has also been trending." Lin Mei chuckled. " I mean, The p she gave was really crisp."


    " Lool someone even made a sticker of her."


    The first ss was Qin Bingyu''s. So when she entered the ss, the ss became silent.


    After what happened, the student had a new respect for Qin Bingyu.


    Qin Bingyu was also surprised to see the worst ss acting all behaved.


    " Well well, I guess today is a very good day to study seriously, huh?"


    " Alright, Let''s start with Calculus then."


    Suddenly, all respect towards her vanished instantly.


    But Qin Bingyu didn''t care as she happily started her ss.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao was sitting back and scribbling something in his notebook.


    Lin Mei was curious as she saw most of the time either Jia Hao dozing off or ying games in the back seat.


    '' I thought he already knows everything? He is still studying?''


    Leaning towards her, she couldn''t help but be speechless. She saw Jia Hao writing down various things, like soap, shampoo, arrows, a torch, radio etc.


    Then he was converting them into some strange materials, writing down a probably of conversion.


    '' He is ying too much rpg I guess.''


    " Lin Mei, Can you answer this?"


    " Yes?"


    Hearing the sudden call from Qin Bingyu, Lin Mei couldn''t help but curse in her heart.


    " Uhh, Me?"


    " Is there another Lin Mei in thai ss?" Qin Bingyu looked at her.


    " Uhh¡­" Lin Mei looked at the ckboard and couldn''t help but feel her head spinning. " I don''t think I can solve that one?"


    " Then why don''t you focus here as I am solving this problem?" Qin Bingyu snorted. " Or the answer is written in Jia Hao''s notebook?"


    This time, Jia Hao lifted his head with confusion. " What''s happening?"


    He was really focused on writing down the items and their conversion by the Pot of Miracles. After all, he was thinking of creating a giant business empire there.


    Qin Bingyu saw Jia Hao''s confusion as she smiled. " Well, How about you solve this?"


    Jia Hao sighed as he walked forward and solved the problem after some thoughts. Qin Bingyu couldn''t help but sigh.


    " It''s the right answer. You can go back and sit."


    " Lin Mei, you should concentrate on the ss."


    Both of them sat down as Lin Mei couldn''t help but sigh. " Gosh, Thank you for saving me, Jia Hao."


    " But what the hell are you writing?"


    Jia Hao chuckled. " Nothing, Just some business stuff."


    After the ss ended, Qin Bingyu stood and looked at everyone. " Everyone, I believe everyone heard about teacher Chou?"


    " If so, I want to warn everyone here, to not tolerate such behaviors. If someone trying to assault you, push them back and confront them. Do not let them take your advantage."


    " Also, Tell about them to your closest ones. If you can''t find anyone, you can contact me."


    " Saying again, You should keep yourself safe." Qin Bingyu paused. " And I am telling this to both boys and girls."


    " Thank you, Teacher Qin."


    Everyone stood up and bowed. Qin Bingyu looked at Jia Hao and gestured.


    " Meet me after lunch. I have something to talk about."

 Chapter 139: Qin Bingyu Blushing

    Everyone turned around and looked at Jia Hao after Qin Bingyu left.


    " Damn, Tothink Iceberg Qin would be so tender towards Jia Hao."


    " What an unfair world! Does good looks matter so much?"


    " Well, Why don''t try solving the questions given by Teacher Qin? Maybe she will notice you too?"


    " Huh? No, thanks. I don''t want to burn my remaining brain cells for mathematics."


    Lin Mei couldn''t help but nce at Jia Hao. " Whoa, You really caught the eye of Teacher Qin, eh?"


    " Why not?" Jia Hao grinned. " I am such a handsome fellow. It''s obvious she would feel attracted to me."


    " Quit reading those wish fulfillment novels, will you?" Lin Mei couldn''t help but snicker lightly. " And, You aren''t that handsome."


    " Lin Mei, have some shame before lying so tantly." Jia Hao''s lips twitched. " Or¡­Maybe I need to punish you once again?"


    " Yo-You!"


    Lin Mei''s body trembled as she remembered what Jia Hao had done with her in the school bathroom.


    '' Hmoh, This rascal. He just wants to take advantage of me.'' Lin Mei couldn''t help but snort inwardly.


    However, deep down, she couldn''t help but crave Jia Hao''s touch.


    '' Ugh, that bastard really destroyed my innocent sanity. Even in vacant time, I can''t help but feel his tongue licking my pussy.''


    " What happened?"


    " Huh?" Lin Mei came back to her senses as she couldn''t help but blush. " Don''t startle me like that!"


    " Wh-What?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but be baffled. " You became absent minded. That''s why I called you."


    " Oh that¡­" Lin Mei hurriedly replied. " I was just¡­worried about my grades."


    " You are lying." Jia Hao answered outright. " There is no way you ever care about studies."


    " Hey!" Lin Mei couldn''t help but shout in annoyance. " I¡­I admit I didn''t care about my grades in the past."


    " However, Dad has been pretty happy when he saw my grades. So¡­ I was thinking of maintaining the grades or even improve them."


    " But you don''t study though?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " That''s why I need your help." Lin Mei''s eyes sparkled with a strange glint. " How about youe to my house? You can tutor me there."


    " Are you sure? You want to study with me?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. After all, he could sense that Lin Mei''s intentions weren''t pure at all.


    '' Tsk, tsk¡­What is this girl nning?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle in his heart.


    Therefore, Why wouldn''t he agree to Lin Mei''s proposal? Of course, he is going to spend time in her house.


    '' And, When the momentes¡­Hehe¡­''


    " Now, What are you thinking?" Lin Mei raised her brows and looked at Jia Hao, who was giving a lecherous smile.


    Suddenly, Jia Haoposed his face and looked at Lin Mei sincerely.


    " Since a ssmate is asking for my help, Should I not help her? Don''t worry, I will study you so you can pass with flying colors."


    Lin Mei couldn''t help but feel a flutter in her heart when she saw that charming smile of Jia Hao.


    Shaking her head, she couldn''t help but give a gentle push to her. " Damn it, If I didn''t know the true you, I might have thought you as the reincarnation of a saint student."


    " Are you actually saying I am a bad guy?" Jia Hao blinked. " You are hurting me, Lin Mei. I helped you so many times, yet you think this of me?"


    " Yeah, so what?" Lin Mei pursed her lips. " I don''t see the point of telling the ck is white."


    " Uhm¡­Is student Jia Hao here?"


    Suddenly, Lin Mei and Jia Hao turned around as they looked at the ssroom entrance.


    " Han Yun?" Jia Hao was surprised when he saw that. She was looking around and saw Jia Hao, nodding hurriedly.


    '' She wants to talk with me?'' Jia Hao became curious as he nodded back, walking towards her/


    As they walked outside, Jia Hao crossed his arms. " Well, What is it, Han Yun?


    " First of all, A big thank you, Jia Hao." Han Yun took a deep breath and bowed before Jia Hao. " You really helped a lot this time."


    " I confessed everything in the meeting as you said. Chou Ran and the Vice Principal got arrested."


    " I also told them about my pictures. The police said they will see it."


    Jia Hao nodded. " That''s nice. You are free now¡­"


    " I¡­ I just wanted to inform you." Han Yun spoke as she lowered her gaze, nudging her skirt. " I¡­ Uhm, Are you free this evening?"


    " Huh? Why?" Jia Hao was surprised as he asked.


    " I¡­I wanted to treat you." Han Yun''s voice was small as she spoke. But then, her cheeks turned red as she hurriedly waved her hands.


    " I¡­I mean, I just wanted to show you my appreciation. I am not¡­asking something like date."


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but get amused when he saw that reaction. The amount of joy and happiness he was receiving from her was pretty consistent.


    '' Tsk, Han Yun actually fell for me?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but get amused. However, he didn''t reject her outright.


    After all, Han Yun can be a great pawn if used right. Jia Hao had no n to not use her.


    " Well, Not today¡­But I will tell you when I get free." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice. " May I have your number?"


    " I¡­Of course!" Han Yun couldn''t help but get ted. She gave Jia Hao her number and hurriedly returned to her ss.


    When Jia Hao returned to his seat, Lin Mei couldn''t help but raise her voice. " That girl¡­She was Han Yun, right?" What she said to you?"


    " Nothing much." Jia Hao grinned. " Just some words of gratitude and love."


    " Oh?" Lin Mei couldn''t help but get intrigued.


    After having lunch, Jia Hao reported to Qin Bingyu''s cabin. She was sorting some papers when she saw Jia Hao entering the room.


    " Ah, Jia Hao. Pleasee and sit."


    " Yes, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao nodded as he sat before Qin Bingyu. " You wanted to talk with me?"


    " Well, First of all, I was looking at your report card and I can see a serious improvement in your grades, which is very rare." Qin Bingyu spoke with a sigh.


    " And everything after your parent''s death."


    " Yes?" Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he heard that.


    " It must be so hard on you, Jia Hao." Qin Bingyu couldn''t help but sympathize with him. " However, instead of getting broken, you chose to focus on yourself. You used your trauma as a threshold to push yourself forward."


    " And, I am really d to see that a person like you is my student."


    Jia Hao sat with aposed face. However, the thoughts in his heart were chaotic.


    '' What the hell is she yapping about?''


    However, he quickly realized what Qin Bingyu was thinking. Her own family had a serious feud.


    That''s why she is working as a teacher here. Not to mention, Jia Hao''s parents'' death also made him a target of sympathy.


    Well, since the luck is aligning with my goal, why don''t I take advantage of it?'' Jia Hao grinned as he lowered his head.


    " Haah, You are really observant, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao sighed as he rubbed his face. " However, despite acting tough all the time¡­I can''t stop myself¡­I miss them a lot."


    " Jia Hao¡­"


    Qin Bingyu sighed as she saw the troubled expression of Jia Hao. " I¡­I didn''t want to dig your painful memories. Sorry if you felt so."


    " N-No, Not really." Jia Hao shook his head. " Please continue, Teacher Qin. I am alright."


    " Well, I called you here to thank you." Qin Bingyu smiled. " I heard from Han Yun that you persuaded her to tell the truth. And you also shielded her from the Vice Principal''s threats."


    " Oh?" Jia Hao smiled. " Haha, I guess I got caught."


    " Why did you do that?" Qin Bingyu looked at him. " I mean¡­ Any particr reason you went out on your own and helped me?"


    " Because you are pretty, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao grinned, making Qin Bingyu startle.


    " Just because I am pretty, You helped me?" She was baffled.


    " It''s also because you are righteous." Jia Hao added. " I felt a beautiful yet righteous person like you shouldn''t get punished."


    "Besides, that bastard Chou Ran got on my nerves." Jia Hao snorted. " I heard somewhere that he also harbored some dirty thoughts towards you."


    " So, To ensure your safety and reputation, I had to do it."


    " Jia Hao¡­"


    Qin Bingyu felt a myriad of emotions in her heart. But all of them made her smile.


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but be stunned when he saw that. It was like a white flower blooming in a crystal pool made up of frozen ice.


    Her smile was like that flower, beautiful and tranquil.


    " What happened?" Qin Bingyu raised her brows. " Why are you staring at me like this?"


    " Your smile is really too beautiful, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao grinned. " Maybe you should smile often."


    " Wh-What?"


    Qin Bingyu was stunned when she heard that. " Ahem, Student Jia, I am still your teacher. Please behave."


    However, she couldn''t stop her blush while saying that. After all, who doesn''t likepliments?


    " Well, I believe that makes it more interesting." Jia Hao grinned. " Like adding a bit of spice."


    " Anyway, I believe it''s already ss time. I should leave."


    Qin Bingyu sat in a daze as Jia Hao left her cabin.


    She raised her palm and touched her cheeks. She could feel the warmth from her flush.


    '' What is this feeling?''

 Chapter 140: Long Drive With Su Lan

    As the ss was over, Jia Hao packed his things and prepared to leave.


    " You aren''ting with me today?" Lin Mei blocked his way as she asked.


    " Well, I was thinking¡­"


    " Jia Hao, I thought you areing with us?"


    Lin Mei turned around and saw Su Xing''er walking towards her. Jia Hao felt sparks in the air as their gaze met. Suddenly, Lin Mei moved and hugged Jia Hao''s arms.


    " Dear, Looks like your step sister came here to check on you."


    " Lin Mei, what are doing¡­"


    " Lin Mei, Aren''t you big too close to Jia Hao?" Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " You guys aren''t even going out together."


    " Wh-Who said that?" Lin Mei red at her.


    " Who said that you are in rtionship?" Su Xing''er lips curled. " Did Jia Hao confessed to you? Or you confessed to him?"


    " That¡­"


    Lin Mei was dumbfounded when she heard Su Xing''er. Although Jia Hao and she were currently together and did many things a couple would do¡­they technically didn''t officially confessed to each other.


    " Dear¡­"


    Jia Hao rubbed his forehead from frustration when he saw Su Xing''er and Lin Mei zing at him. '' Fuck, What am I suppose to do here?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but mumble inwardly.


    Thankfully, him lucky charm Su Lan arrived. " Jia Hao, What are you doing here?"


    " Ah, You came here in right time, Big Sister Lan." Jia Hao''s eyes brightened as he walked towards her, holding her hands. " Didn''t you say you have some work?"


    " Uhh¡­Yes?"


    Su Lan nced at Lin Mei and Su Xing''er, making her understand everything. Her lips curved as she nodded. " Yeah, I did call you. But I guess you are busy¡­"


    " Nope!" Jia Hao answered instantly, " I am not busy at all. Let''s go, Sister Lan."


    Su Xing''er and Lin Mei nced at each other with dismay when they saw Jia Hao escaping like that.


    " That jerk!"


    Both of them spoke at the same time.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao and Su Lan walked out of the school. Su Lan couldn''t help but purse her lips. " Well, You are really a chick ma, aren''t you? Mingling with beauties all the time."


    " Well, A taoist priest said I have the fate of heavenly peach blossoms." Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he spoke with a serious voice. " Therefore, I will have multiple romantic encounters in my life."


    " You are lying, right?" Su Lan cast a side nce at Jia Hao, but he merely shrugged.


    " Sister Lan, have I ever lied to you? I am just telling you what I heard from that taoist priest."


    " Alright, Uncle He said he is going to be a bitte. So we have to wait outside." Su Lan nodded.


    But at that moment, all the students gasped as they pointed at a caring towards the school entrance.


    The slick design of the car instantly made everyone''s eyes turn wide with shock. The shining pitch ck skin with golden pinstripes on it makes it look like a ck gold dragon.


    The low yet deep hum of the engine represented its power it slowly stopped before the entrance of the academy.


    " Holy shit! What car is that?"


    " That looks like an Imperial! And the bo design! It''s a golden sword and crimson shield! Fuck, How is that possible?"


    " What do you mean by that?"


    " The golden sword and crimson shield represent the most luxurious edition of Imperial Cars!" Someone exined.


    " A single of them can easily cost over a hundred million Yuan! And that''s just the base versions!"


    " This is has been modified. Means it''s even costlier!"


    " Good heavens! What the fuck with that car price?"


    Jia Hao and Su Lan were stunned as they also saw the car. However, as the car stopped, Jia Hao saw a familiar figureing out.


    The man looked around for a while as his gaze fell on Jia Hao. Out of enthusiasm, He got off and hurried towards Jia Hao.


    " Little Brother Jia, You are here! I was thinking of calling you!"


    It was none other than Brother Biao, the organizer of West Lake Street Racing. Su Lan''s brows creased when she saw someone looking like a gangster trying to tter Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao remained calm as he replied with a smile. " Well, It''s been a while, Brother Biao. I believe you took care of your business?"


    " Of course, of course." Brother Biao grinned. " And in the meantime, I asked my subordinate to prepare a gift for you."


    " As you asked for a car matching with your status, I was busy preparing that. And, the V8 Nitro X engine took a bit long to arrive."


    " Anyway, Are you satisfied with this gift?"


    Su Lan''s eyes turned wide when she saw what Brother Biao was pointing. It was the ck-gold Imperial standing like a tourist attraction.


    " Hehe, Thank you, Brother Biao." Jia Hao chuckled. " I can certainly see your hard work. And, I can''t wait to drive it."


    "Haha! Of course." Brother Biaoughed. " I mean, It would be impossible for any man to resist riding such a beauty¡­"


    Hearing such a crass sentence, Su Lan couldn''t help but flinch. Brother Biao saw that as he clicked his tongue.


    " I¡­I mean, this car is simply irresistible. So, Brother Jia can go and try it. It''s yours now." He handed the keys of the Imperial to Jia Hao.


    " Alright, I have to leave now." Brother Biao grinned as he turned around to leave. A red Ferrari arrived and picked him up.


    " No way, Who is that person?" Su Lan gazed at Jia Hao with wide eyes. " He just gifted you an ultra expensive car like that?"


    " Well, I helped him in the past. So, He gifted this car to me." Jia Hao shrugged as he swung the keychain on his finger. " What do you say, Sister Lan? It''s a nice car, isn''t it?"


    " Of course. This is really a¡­"


    " Then what are you waiting for?" Jia Hao grinned as he held her hand and dragged her to the car.


    The crowd parted as Jia Hao clicked his keychain, making the car blip. Everyone gazed at Jia Hao and Su Lan with surprised eyes as they got into the car.


    " Holy shit! Isn''t that Saintess Su?"


    " And that young man, I think he is Jia Hao?"


    " This car is theirs?"


    " Hao''er, You know how to drive?" Su Lan raised her brows as she sat beside Jia Hao. Jia Hao grinned when he heard that. " Of course, How could I not know?"


    The car gave a loud roar as JIa Hao stepped on the elerator. Within a second, the car turned into a ck blur, vanishing from the eyes of the crowd.


    They looked at Jia Hao with utter fascination and jealousy as they saw him driving such a luxurious car and such a beauty.


    " WHOA! WHOA! JIA HAO! SLOW DOWN!"


    Su Lan could feel the blood rushing in her veins as Jia Hao sped up the car. The car was like a wind as they soon reached outside of the city.


    The traffic was less there, letting Jia Hao drive without much trouble.


    As they drove amidst the fields, Su Lan could see the distant crimson sun slowly merging with the western horizon.


    " How do you feel, Sister Lan?" Jia Haoughed out loud. " The scenery is magnificent, isn''t it?"


    The rush of wind along with the scene outside made Su Lan''s heart thump. Seeing her reaction, Jia Hao slowed down his car and drove in a moderate pace.


    " Gosh, Aren''t you acting a bit romantic today?" Su Lan grinned as she held Jia Hao''s palms.


    " The car¡­This long drive, the scenery outside¡­Everything is breathtaking."


    " As long as you are happy, Sister Su," Jia Hao smiled affectionately.


    " Tsk, Quite a women pleaser you are." Su Lan puckered her lips.


    But both of them looked at each other as they leaned forward, sharing a passionate kiss.


    Su Lan didn''t take long before pulling back. " Geeze, Keep an eye on the road."


    " Hehe, As you say, Sister Su." Jia Hao smiled as he turned around the car.


    " Well, Xing''er is going to be he angry after she hears about your new car." Su Lan remarked. Jia Hao chuckled. " Don''t worry, I have a n."


    " Hm?"


    As they returned back, Jia Hao purchased a mint chocte ice cream bucket and blueberry pie from a famous bakery.


    " You sure know Xing''er''s preferences, eh?" Su Lan chuckled. Jia Haoughed as he also purchased a mixed berry pastry and cinnamon twist donuts.


    " I know your and Aunt Su''s favorites too. So, Can''t be jealous."


    " Bah, Who said I am jealous?" Su Lan retorted with a smile.


    As they returned, they saw Xing''er sitting on the couch with a face puffed as pufferfish. Su Yunqi was sitting beside her with a wry smile.


    " Hao''er, Lan''er,e here." She couldn''t help butugh. " Gosh, you three are really silly."


    " Well, I know Xing''er is angry because I and Sister Lan went for a long drive," Jia Hao nodded as he ced the food before Su Xing''er.


    " So, Xing''er, Please ept my apology."


    " Hmph! I won''t!"


    Xing''er licked her lips when she saw the ice cream and pie, but her eyes remained determined.

 Chapter 141: Su Xingers Anger

    Jia Hao chuckled as he knew that Su Xing''er wasn''t going to calm her anger anytime soon.


    " But I really want to see what sort of car Hao''er got." Su Yunqi couldn''t help but smile. Su Lan nodded as he held her hand.


    " Alright Mom, Let me take it to you. I am sure you are going to like it."


    As they left, Jia Hao walked and sat beside Su Xing''er


    " Well, Xing''er, Aren''t you also in a bit of fault here." Jia Hao chuckled. " But, How about this?" Jia Hao grinned. " Next time, I will let you drive it. And, drive it at full speed."


    " Hmph, Still not enough." Su Xing''er pouted.


    " What are you angry about?" Jia Hao tilted his head. " Well, I guess I have to eat the blueberry pie¡­"


    " Wait! Don''t!" Su Xing''er snatched the pie from his hands. " It''s mine now!''


    " Hehe." Jia Hao chuckled when she saw Su Xing''er eating the pie. " Are you angry with Lin Mei?"


    " That bitch¡­She is being too clingy." Su Xing''er muttered.


    " Why don''t you just shake hands and cuddle?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Because we are rivals, silly!" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but sigh. " She and I always been odds with each other."


    " Hah?"


    At that moment, Jia Hao realized what she was talking about. It was simr to any high school drama,petition between the school beauties.


    Lin Mei is simply a rich thot bully while Su Xing''er is an athletic tomboy. There are many times when Lin Mei and Su Xing''er confronted each other.


    " And you! Why didn''t you support me before her, Huh?"


    " How could I?" Jia Hao steered clear of that matter. " It was the fault of both of you. Why drag me into the mess?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    Su Xing''er was angry, but she sighed in the end. " You are just detestable."


    " I shall take that as apliment." Jia Hao grinned. " Now, Are you going to share that pie?"


    " No." Su Xing''er refused in a t voice.


    Jia Hao snorted lightly. " I knew it. Thankfully, I bought another one.


    He took out a second blueberry pie and started to eat. Su Xing''er couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " What a jerk."


    " My my! Hao''er, that car is really a beast."


    Su Yunqi and Su Lan came back, with Su Yunqi was obviously excited. " You know, I was thinking of buying a car for Hao''er. But he already got one."


    " Haah, I don''t think I can get any other car to match up that one."


    " No need to be so tensed, Aunt Su." Jia Hao grinned as he opened the box of cinnamon twist. " Have this and rx."


    " Oh my, You even bought this for me?" Su Yunqi''s eyes sparkled as she sat beside Jia Hao.


    " Mmm, Delicious!" Su Yunqi''s eyes brightened. " Hao''er, You actually remembered that I like it?"


    " Of course, Aunt Su. I know everyone''s favorite." Jia Hao smiled. " And now, I shall go and change my clothes. I am feeling a bit stifled."


    " Alright, As you say."


    " Ah, I am also tired today." Su Xing''er finished her piece of pie as she looked at Su Lan. " You know, Today we had a volleyball match."


    " Uh huh. Your physical fitness is growing better and better." Su Lan nodded.


    " Hehe, Sis, How about we bathe together?" Su Xing''er suddenly grinned. " It''s been a while since we bathed together, no?"


    " Wh-What? What''s with this sudden request?" Su Lan was startled.


    " What? I guess you don''t love me anymore, huh?" Su Xing''er pouted. " Or, I guess Sis Lan only likes to go on long drives now."


    Su Lan sighed as she nodded. " Fine, I shall join you. No need to taunt me any longer, ok?"


    " Hehe, Fine."


    Su Yunqi smiled as she saw their friendly banter. " Haah, It''s good to have family."


    As she was eating the cinnamon twist, she couldn''t help but feel warmth in her heart. It''s been a while since someone bought her favorite dessert like this.


    '' Hm, I wonder when I revealed this to Jia Hao? How did he know that I love cinnamon twist?''


    '' He really cares about me, huh?''


    But when Su Yunqi repeated that sentence in her heart, she couldn''t help but blush. Doesn''t that mean Jia Hao actually loves her?


    '' Gosh! Yunqi! You are still thinkin about Ran Jiyue''s words? She is just a¡­frivolous woman.''


    '' Mm,.. But what she said¡­Should I¡­''


    '' No! Absolutely not!''


    Su Yunqi shook her head as she got up. " Ugh, I should focus on other tasks. The more I remain idle, the more these thoughts woulde."


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao sighed in his room and took off his clothes. However, when he entered the bathroom, he felt something strange.


    " Huh? Is the shower clogged?" He couldn''t help but frown. " How is it possible?"


    " Huhuhu, You actually wanted to bath with me, huh?" Su Lan chuckled as she took off her clothes. Looking at her bare figure in the bathroom mirror, she couldn''t help but frown a bit.


    " Hmm, Have be a bit fat."


    " Should I tell you the truth?" Su Xing''er grinned as she also took off her clothes, showing her healthy wheaty white skin.


    " Ahh! Xing''er, What are you doing?"


    Su Lan let out a surprised yelp as she felt Su Xing''er hugging her from behind, cupping her breasts and squeezing a bit.


    " Yeah, Big Sis." Su Xing''er pursed her lips. " These get bigger and fatter. Ugh, How could you grow them so fast."


    " Xing''er! Stop teasing!"


    Su Lan blushed as she swatted Su Xing''er''s palm away. " Having big boobs doesn''t mean anything."


    " Hmph, You are saying that because you have them." Su Xing''er pouted. " Mine are still so small."


    " Small? I think they are pretty moderate?" Su Lan shook her head. " And your breasts are perfectly proportional to your body, making you look charming."


    " I think that rascal would prefer bigger boobs¡­'' Su Xing''er muttered in a low voice.


    " Who?"


    " Ah, No one." Su Xing''er changed her topic. " So, Warm water bath or¡­"


    " Nope, I will have a cold water bath."


    " Just as I like."

 Chapter 142: Talks Between Sisters

    As they filled the bathtub, Su Xing''er couldn''t help but nce at Su Lan. She tied her long hair and looked at herself in the mirror.


    " Jia Hao''s car¡­It must have felt good, right?"


    " Tsk, Are you still hung on that?"Su Lan looked at Su Xing''er.


    " Not really, Just asking."


    " Well, I have to admit. Jia Hao drives really well." Su Lan nodded. " And the car was very fine. The interior was absolutely luxurious."


    " Let''s say¡­Big Sister Lan." Su Xing''er''s voice became low as she looked at Su Lan.


    " What do you think of Jia Hao?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Su Lan was startled when she heard that. " What do you mean by that, Xing''er?"


    " It''s what it means." Su Xing''er replied as she got into the bathtub. Seeing her, Su Lan also got inside.


    " Haah, Been a while since we bathed like this." Su Lan leaned on the edge as she sighed with pleasure.


    " Indeed. We used to bath together." Su Xing''er smiled affectionately. " Elder Sister, Let me scrub your back."


    " Thank you, Xing''er."


    Su Lan''s wless back glistened with water as Su Xing''er applied some soap, slowly scrubbing her back.


    " Xing''er, I was also thinking of talking to you about Hao''er."


    " Is that so?"


    Su Xing''er''s heart thumped when she heard that. " What happened? Did that jerk hurt you?"


    " Xing''er, How can you talk to him like that?" Su Lan pouted. " Hao''er is now a part of our family."


    " Well, That''s true though." Su Xing''er clicked her tongue.


    " Haah, I remember when we were little. We three used to y together." Su Xing''er smiled.


    " Indeed, And he was really fond of you. Maybe because both of you were simr in age. And you were really outgoing, unlike the introverted me." Su Lan closed her eyes and enjoyed the scrubbing.


    " Aunt Jia''s cooking, especially her vegetable stew and ck bean noodles. Even if mom tried to make them, she couldn''t bring that vor."


    " Uncle and Aunt Jia¡­" Su Xing''er sighed. " I really felt bad when they passed away."


    " But, Now I feel Jia Hao is more connected to you, Sister Lan."


    " Oh? Is that so?" Su Lan''s lips curved as she remembered some sweet moments.


    " Like you said, In childhood, me and Jia Hao were closer. But now, I feel like¡­"


    " Feel what?" Su Lan tried to turn around, but Su Xing''er didn''t let her be. " Now, Tell me about you thoughts, Sister Lan. What did you wanted to say?"


    " I¡­ I confessed to Jia Hao."


    " Hmm, Alright¡­" Su Xing''er nodded as her face froze. " Yo-You did WHAT?"


    " I confessed my love to Jia Hao." Su Lan took a deep breath and spoke. " You knew, Xing''er. Hao''er gave me a por flower and confessed his love to me?"


    " Bu-But those are just¡­children''s y!'' Su Xing''er muttered.


    " He said, the por is a flower that blooms in a harsh condition yet still remains steady. His love for me is also like that." Su Lan smiled fondly.


    " And even after years, I felt that love towards him. There wasn''t a day I didn''t thought about him."


    Su Xing''er knew her sister had some feelings for Jia Hao. But she didn''t expect her to confess to Jia Hao.


    " And?" Su Xing''er asked with a nervous voice. " What did he say?"


    " I mean, I told you about Lin Mei, right?"


    " I know." Su Lan chuckled. " He told me that he is afraid of not being able to staymitted to only me."


    " Then?"


    " I said it didn''t matter."


    " What? Why?" Su Xing''er chided. " Didn''t you say you loved him? How can he say that?"


    " Well, He was being honest." Su Lan leaned back on Su Xing''er as Xing''er washed Su Lan''s hair.


    " He rified the matter of his heart. And after that, he asked me if I could ept him."


    " I epted."


    " So¡­You¡­And¡­Jia Hao¡­Are dating now?" Su Xing''er asked with a stammer.


    " Hehe, Yep." Su Lan grinned. " I mean, Kind of surprising. But, here we are."


    " As long as he loves me¡­I will love him back."


    " Sister¡­"


    Su Xing''er felt a strange loss in her heart when she heard that. She thought she was going to be happy for Su Lan.


    '' But what is t his? Why do I feel¡­pain and¡­jealousy?''


    '' I¡­ Jia Hao¡­Am I still a stepte?''


    '' Wh-Why would I think of that?''


    " You know Xing''er, I am really d that Jia Hao came to our life." Su Lan closed her eyes. " After dad left¡­Perhaps he is the second male who held the mantle of the Su Family."


    " He feels like a¡­tall mountain, a great wall protecting our family."


    " I feel sofy and secure when I am near him."


    " I¡­" Su Xing''er was a dismayed, unable to think what she should answer.


    Su Lan turned around and looked at her. " What happened? You look a bit¡­tensed?"


    " It''s my turn to wash you up."


    " Eh? Wai!"


    However, Su Lan didn''t hear the protest of Su Xing''er as she also washed her body with soap and foam.


    " Haah, Elder Sister, I never thought you would be so frank." Su Xing''er sighed. " I guess¡­It''s good that you confessed to him. It''s better to relieve your stress rather than keeping it inside your heart and straining yourself over it."


    " Hmm, Indeed."


    Su Lan felt Su Xing''er''s voice was a bit off. However, she couldn''t pinpoint what it was. However, she found a way to lighten up the mood.


    " Tsk, You were teasing me then, right?" Her lips curled upwards. " Now, It''s my turn."


    " Ahaha! No! Sister!"


    Su Xing''er expression changed as she felt Su Lan''s palm on her breasts, gently caressing them with foam.


    " Ahaha!c It tickles!" Su Xing''er panted, making Su Lan giggle.


    " Don''t you know? You need to massage here to grow them up?"


    " No~!" Su Xing''er''s body trembled. " Lady Lan, get off your evil paws from my bosom!" She sshed water on Su Lan.


    " Oh my, Why should I?"


    As both sisters were ying, they suddenly heard the door creaking.


    Their actions froze as their gaze met with Jia Hao''s eyes.


    " Uhmm¡­" Jia Hao''s voice trembled as he turned around.


    " Don''t mind me, I wasn''t here."


    Both Su Lan and Su Xing''er exchanged nces.


    " HAO''ER!!"


    " RASCAL!!"

 Chapter 143: Creating Plan For Silk Crisis

    Hurrying back, Jia Hao finally realized the divine intervention. '' I see. I trigger as eroge protagonist finally triggered.''


    He couldn''t help but get amused when he thought about that. Otherwise, why would his perfectly fine shower stop working?


    '' I thought there would be only Sister Lan inside. We could have taken a sexy couple''s bath. But even Xing''er was there, eh?''


    Seeing both sisters hugging each other naked while ying bathtub created an utterly erotic scene, making him hard instantly.


    Not long after, Su Lan and Su Xing''er walked out, wrapping towels around their curvy bodies. Their hair was still dripping wet, and their skin glistened with water droplets.


    " Damn it! Are you a pervert or what?" Su Xing''er''s face was flushed like an apple as she shouted.


    " You have no sense of decency! How can you barge into Elder Sister''s bathroom like that?"


    " Hey, The shower in my bathroom was clogged!" Jia Hao defended himself." Not to mention, I didn''t hear anything from the inside of the bathroom, making me think that it was empty."


    " Yo-You! You are just¡­"


    " Calm down, Xing''er." Su Lan sighed as she patted her head. " I am sure Hao''er didn''t do that on purpose."


    " Sister Lan understands me so much." Jia Hao sighed. " I guess my blueberry pie was gone to waste."


    " Hey!" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but mutter in a grievance. " Both of you! You are now ganging up on me?"


    " Haaah, Xing''er¡­"


    Jia Hao shrugged. " You know what? I already told you it was a misunderstanding. If you don''t want to hear me, then let it be."


    " Sister Lan, Can I use your bathroom?"


    " Sure, Hao''er." Su Lan nodded. Jia Hao smiled as he entered the bathroom and closed the door.


    " Sister, Aren''t you giving him too much freedom?" Su Xing''er grumbled. " Just because you are in a rtionship¡­"


    " Xing''er, You really thought Jia Hao came to peep on us?" Su Lan looked at her. " He wasn''t even there when you asked me to join bath."


    " I¡­" Su Xing''er sighed as she bit her lips. " I am sorry, Sister. I was just too agitated."


    " It''s fine, Xing''er. Perhaps you are too tensed today." Su Lan smiled.She turned around and fumbled through her clothes. Su Xing''er nodded as she turned to leave.


    Closing her room door, Su Xing''er fell on the bed and curled. Her body trembled as her eyes moistened.


    '' I¡­ Why the hell I am crying?'' Su Xing''er gritted her teeth. '' I don''t love Jia Hao! Elder Sister does!''


    '' But¡­Why do I feel pain? Why?''


    '' Do I¡­Really have feelings for him?''


    Su Xing''er bit her lips as she couldn''t help but get saddened. '' Elder Sister, Why are you always a step faster than me?''


    '' Why do I feel you get the thing first I always wanted first? Toys¡­Gifts¡­Even¡­''


    Su Xing''er took a deep breath and put on her underwear. However, after that, she slowly began to stretch her body and did some light exercises.


    '' Let''s¡­Let me forget about this for now. I just¡­want to escape.''


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao was washing down his hair as he couldn''t help but ponder. In fact, he didn''t tell them to truth exactly.


    After all, with his strength and powers, how could he not know Su Xing''er and Su Lan were bathing inside?


    But, one must do what he supposed to do.


    '' But, To think Su Lan would reveal that she and I are dating. Interesting.'' Jia Hao was amused as he closed the shower.


    However, the moment he walked out, he froze. Scratching his head, he couldn''t help but sigh. " Sister Lan, I thought you and Xing''er lectured me about the invasion of privacy a few moments ago?"


    " Well, You forgot the towel outside." Su Lan chuckled as she handed him the towel. " However, I have to admit. You are really excited down there, huh?"


    " I mean, I am a hot blooded young man, yeah?" Jia Hao stood naked and erect before Su Lan, without any shame. After getting the towel, he wrapped it around his waist.


    " You told Xing''er about us?"


    " Indeed. She was curious about us." Su Lan nodded. " Is there any problem?"


    " Nope, It''s not." Jia Hao smiled. " After all, It wasn''t supposed to be a secret in the first ce after all."


    " Mmhm¡­"


    Su Lan couldn''t help but smile when she heard Jia Hao. He always acted with calm andposure, which made Su Lan like him even more.


    " Sister Lan, Can you spare me some privacy now?" Jia Hao grinned. " Or, nning to keep staring at me?"


    " Ah!"


    Su Lan broke from her daydream as she nodded with a scarlet face. " Of course. Take your time, Hao''er."


    " Hmm, But something was strange."


    " What was it?" Jia Haobed his hair as he looked at Su Lan.


    " Su Xing''er''s reaction was¡­Hmm." Su Lan put her index finger on her lips as she fell into a deep thought. " She felt¡­sorrowful?"


    " Is that so?"


    Jia Hao feigned surprise.However, his lips secretly curled upwards.


    " Don''t worry, Sister Lan." Jia Hao smiled. " If Xing''er has anything to say, she will talk to you."


    " Just give her some time, alright?"


    " As you say."


    After chatting for a while, Jia Hao returned back to his room. He opened hisptop and pondered about something.


    The crisis of silk and cotton is imminent Cai Family. He needs to do something which will help the Cai Family to get off from this crisis.


    '' Perhaps, another reason why the Cai Family would fall during the monster tide is because of the financial strain during this event?''


    Connecting the dots, Jia Hao summarized the things. Someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.


    '' First, the silk crisis. Here, the Cai Family would lose a lot of money. And, since they won''t be able to pay off the debt, the fiefs and viges under them would rebel, refusing to pay taxes.''


    '' Now, without much money, they had to repay the loan interest to Silkward Chambers. And without money, they can only pay with the trained soldiers of the Cai Family, or their equipment.''


    '' No soldiers, no equipment, no finance. Yet the Cai Family is still a Military Duke Family. So, when the monster tidees, they would be the ones to stand on vanguards.''


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao couldn''t help but marvel at the intricate n of the mastermind. Tapping on the table, he couldn''t help butugh out loud.


    " My goodness, When was thest time I saw this level of conspiracy? Maybe in my sixth reincarnation?"


    However, this made Jia Hao even more determined. '' It won''t be fare if you y this chess alone, yeah? Allow me to join then.''


    '' First, I need to take care of the silk and cotton crisis.''


    ording to what he heard, the Niu Family, Shen Family, and Silkward Chambers are grouping and creating a surplus in goods thanks to purchasing silk from other ces.


    As the economy works, if a good bes surplus, its value decreases.


    '' Hmm, So in other words, In our entire province and nearby, This group has thergest amount of silk and cotton stocks?'' Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled with a dark light.


    '' What if they were to vanish? The vacuum it would create¡­Won''t that make our Cai Family businesspletely profitable?''


    With a devilish smile on his face, Jia Hao delved into the inte. He was trying to find some solutions and soon enough he found some usible ideas.


    However, at that moment, he got a message from Su Yunqi.


    " Huh? Aunt Su?"


    Jia Hao was surprised as he closed hisptop and went downstairs. He saw Su Xing''er standing before Su Yunqi.


    " What happened, Aunt Su?" Jia Hao looked at her with confusion.


    " Xing''er''s friend, Chu Yunli, is moving to the Eastern Sea City. Xing''er wishes to go to her house."


    " But, Uncle He already left as he had some work. Xing''er is insisting on going alone. But I don''t want her to go alone."


    " Mom, I am fine." Su Xing''er couldn''t help but grumble. " What could happen to me?"


    " You want me to apany Xing''er?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Well, I am free right now. So, why not?"


    " But Mom¡­"


    " Xing''er, Believe in Mom." Su Yunqi sighed. " I know you have the strength to protect yourself. However, It''s better to have apany, alright?"


    " And besides, Hao''er can help to move the things." She winked, making Jia Hao speechless.


    '' Aunt, Are you sending me there as aborer or what?"


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Hao''er." Su Yunqi chuckled. " I doubt Xing''er would let you do that."


    " Then, can I take my car?" Jia Hao proposed. " After all, Xing''er definitely wanted to sit in that."


    " En, I heard from Lan that you can drive well." Su Yunqi was still concerned. " However, you need to drive carefully, alright? Drive at moderate speed."


    " As you say, Aunt Su." Jia Hao smiled. Su Xing''er''s face faltered when she thought of sitting in Jia Hao''s car. After all, she definitely wanted to have a ride in that.


    " Alright, I shall go with Jia Hao." Su Xing''er nodded with a sigh.


    Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes opened, But he couldn''t help but get startled when he saw Su Xing''er''s Recent Future Point.


    [ Recent Future Point: After two hours, Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli get kidnapped by a Vine Snake Gang]


    '' What the fuck?''

 Chapter 144: Assaulting Chu Yunli And Su Xinger

    Jia Hao was stunned when he saw the recent future point of Chu Yunli. '' Dman it, How is this possible? Chu Yunli''s kidnapping should happened a lotter, no?''


    '' No, It might be possible.'' Jia Hao pondered inwardly as he thought of something. '' Maybe this is butterfly effect?''


    After all, He handled Li Tao and a few other bad guys in early stages. By eliminating them, He altered the flow of the storyline of this world.


    '' Therefore, It looks like my choices right now won''t just affect those who surround me, but also those who are far and unrted.''


    " What? Aren''t you going toe with me?" Su Xing''er huffed as she looked at Jia Hao. " What are you daydreaming?"


    " Haha, Of course." Jia Hao''s smile remained calm as he nodded. " Let''s go."


    " Mmmm¡­"


    " What is it?" Jia Hao grinned. " Nice car, Isn''t it?"


    " Well, It''s¡­Passable." Su Xing''er huffed when as she turned away. However, she couldn''t help but feel excitement when she sat inside Jia Hao''s sports car.


    " Now, fasten up you seat belts. We are leaving."


    *VROOOOOM*


    The engine gave a roar as Jia Hao stepped on the elerator. Soon, the car was on the road, going at a moderate pace.


    " Damn, Jia Hao." Su Xing''er couldn''t help but enjoy the rush of the wind as Jia Hao drove the car. " I thought you said you don''t know how to drive?"


    " Did I?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Maybe not then? Maybe I know right now?"


    " Hmph, What a liar." Su Xing''er snorted. " We are going straight to Chu Yunli''s house, alright? I will show you the way."


    As Jia Hao drove ording to Su Xing''er, he soon reached another upscale block of the Eastern Sky City.


    As they reached Chu Yunli''s house, Jia Hao saw Chu Yunli standing outside.


    " Xing''er! Brother Hao!"


    Her eyes sparkled when she saw the luxury car standing before him. Su Xing''er stepped out as she threw herself at Chu Yunli, hugging her tightly.


    " Chenchen!"


    " Xing''er!"


    After their hug, Chu Yunli looked at Jia Hao''s car. " Wow, This is Brother Hao''s car?"


    " Haha, You can say that." Jia Haoughed as he got out of the car. " Good evening, Sister Chu."


    " Aw, You can call me Yunli." Chu Yunli smiled. " Wee to our new house."


    It wasn''t arge mansion like Su Family Manor. But the duplex house has its own charm. As they walked inside, Jia Hao nodded.


    " Wow, the interior is simply magnificent." Su Xing''er spoke excitedly. " But where is uncle Chu?"


    " Dad went to the police station." Chu Yunli sighed. " You know, remaining procedure after transfer. I think He woulde veryte tonight."


    " No way." Su Xing''er shook her head. " I don''t think you should stay alone today. Hmm, How about we celebrate with some pizza?"


    " Of course." Chu Yunli grinned. " I have already ordered pizza before. It must be arriving by now."


    " Wow, you already thought about this, huh?" Su Xing''er grinned. Chu Yunli smiled. " Come with me, I shall show you around."


    Jia Hao and Su Xing''er followed Chu Yunli as she showed the rooms. As they entered her room, they saw various boxes.


    " Sorry, I haven''t unpacked them yet." Chu Yunliughed. Su Xing''er rolled her sleeves. " Well, Why don''t we help you?"


    " I bought aborer just for you." She chuckled, pointing at Jia Hao.


    " Gosh, Xing''er, You¡­" Chu Yunliughed when she saw Jia Hao''s speechless expression.


    " But she is right." Jia Hao nodded. " If you have any heavy items to move, I can help you."


    " Thank you a lot, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli smiled. " Alright, Let''s do this."


    Su Xing''er and Jia Hao nodded as they helped Chu Yunli to move the things.


    " Wow? Brother Hao can carry that ss table all alone?" Chu Yunli was shocked when she saw Jia Hao''s physical strength.


    " Hey, I am also strong." Su Xing''er pouted. " Why don''t I getpliments?"


    " Can you lift that table along with the other boxes?" Chu Yunli was speechless. Su Xing''er stammered when she heard that. " I mean¡­ I can easily drag it though?"


    " Rather than chatting, how about both of you help me to organize things?" Jia Hao muttered.


    " Right away, Sir." Chu Yunli giggled as she hopped to Jia Hao.


    " Yunli, Are you joining our academy?" Su Xing''er looked at her and asked. Chu Yunli tilted her head. " Well, I mean¡­ Maybe? But the other academy is near too."


    " Ehh? Why not?" Su Xing''er pouted. " We can study together. No one will bully you if you join me."


    " Hah, You are talking like anyone could bully me." Chu Yunli''s pursed her lips. " Have you forgotten? My Dad is the Province Head of the Criminal Investigation Department."


    " Hehe, I know." Su Xing''er chuckled. " However, you were too quiet and shy in the past. So, I know some guys teased you."


    " And you beat them." Chu Yunli rolled her eyes with a smile. " But anyway, I have to consult with my dad. Besides, I am not in a hurry to get back into school. Let me enjoy some leisure."


    " Hmph, How can I forget?" Su Xing''er muttered. " You are a nerd like Sister Lan."


    " Hey!" Chu Yunli tapped Su Xing''er''s forehead. " You mean to say, Academically bright student?"


    Jia Hao chuckled when he heard the banter between Chu Yunli and Su Xing''er. However, he couldn''t help but muse in his own thoughts.


    '' Vine Snake Gang is just a pawn. Thanks to his dad offending quite a lot of bigwigs, Chu Yunli is going to be kidnapped."


    Using her, the kidnappers would frame Chu Yunli''s father, making him lose both his job and reputation. Meanwhile, the kidnapper would pretend to release Chu Yunli, only to capture her back.


    '' And after that¡­For three years¡­''


    Jia Hao sighed as he didn''t bother to think more. After all, those are the things that were supposed to happen but have not happened yet.


    '' And since I am here, There is no way I would let it happen.'' Jia Hao was determined as he looked at Chu Yunli and Su Xing''er. Looking at the time, he nodded.


    " I am going outside and I shall be back in a bit."


    After a while, the doorbell rang. Chu Yunli nodded, " Maybe it''s the pizza delivery guy."


    As she walked down and opened the door, she was confused. Su Xing''er also followed her


    " You guys are¡­"


    " We are the movers and brought the additional items." A middle aged man showed his uniform and smiled.


    " But we brought all the items?" Chu Yunli was surprised. " Wait, You guys¡­"


    The middle aged man sighed as he pulled out a can and sprayed at them.


    " Damn it!"

 Chapter 145: Savior

    Su Xing''er''s reflexes were fast as she kicked the can away from that man''s hand. However, the man onlyughed as he hurriedly retreated.


    " Cough!"


    Chu Yunli fell on her knees. " I¡­Xing''er, I am feeling¡­dizzy."


    " Fuck! You bastards!" Su Xing''er was also affected. But she tried her best to remain awake.


    But at that moment, a small dart shot from outside, hitting her arm. Su Xing''er hissed in pain as she pulled out of the dark. However, her vision turned blurry as she slumped on the ground.


    Thest scene she saw was a few men walking towards her and covering her face with a ck cloth.


    " Alright, Everyone, the package is secured. And, we also got a bonus."


    " Hurry up and load them into the van."


    " Keke, Both are fine beauties. I like the fierce one."


    Three men carried Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli into the van as they drove off.


    As they left, a car followed them swiftly.


    After a while, they reached the warehouse near the harbor. Slowly, Su Xing''er''s vision returned as she looked around.


    She saw herself tied into a chair with Chu Yunli beside her.


    " Damn it! Who are you bastards" Su Xing''er shouted. " Don''t you know who we are?"


    " Tsk, Look like they have woken up."


    Su Xing''er''s eyes flinched as she saw a burst of shlight on her face. Slowly, Chu Yunli also woke up. She struggled to get her wrist free, only to realize they were tied.


    " Yo-You!"


    Panic finally sets in Chu Yunli''s eyes as she looked around. " Xi-Xing''er? Wh-Where are we?"


    " Are you the daughter of Chu Ming?" A man with a scar on his face asked with a cold voice.


    " You know my dad?" Chu Yunli was startled. " Yet you dared to kidnap us!"


    " Heh, In the past, I would have feared your dad." The manughed with a sneer. " But now, he offended quite some people with his righteousness."


    " Yo-You! What do you mean?" Su Xing''er snorted. " Just wait. Soon, her father would being here with the police force."


    " Hoho, I think I need to crush you sweet little dream." The manughed.


    " This Qing She doesn''t fear anyone. And for your dad¡­" Qing She''s grin turned wide. " I don''t think your dad is going to live past tonight."


    " Rip her clothes." He ordered.Two of Qing She''s henchmen grinned as they walked forward.


    Without any reservation, they ripped Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli''s clothes, revealing their undergarments.


    " Stop! STOP!"


    " BASATRDS! I WILL KILL YOU!"


    As their henchmen went to take off the remaining clothes, Qing She snorted. " That''s enough. Don''t forget they aren''t your properties."


    " Now record them and send the video to Chu Ming." Qing She snorted. " Tell him, if he doesn''t reach the twelfth street in ten minutes, I will throw his daughter to my henchmen to be gang raped."


    Chu Yunli''s eyes turned red from shock and horror when she heard that. Su Xing''er''s face turned pale, making her struggle hard.


    " You motherfucker! You dare!"


    " Boss, I thought only this Chu Yunli was our target?" Qing She''s subordinate spoke with a grin. " Of course, we can''t touch her."


    " But this girl¡­ Can we¡­"


    Qing She smacked his lips. " Well, For the first time, You gave the right suggestion."


    " Bring her to me." Qing She gave a devilish grin. " We got a new pill, yeah?"


    " Ah, That one." The subordinateughed. " We can try that on this girl. I shall bring it right away."


    As he returned Qing She walked towards Su Xing''er.


    " Hehe, Such a pretty girl." Qing She grinned. " Too bad, you got caught by us. But don''t worry, We won''t kill you."


    *PTUI!*


    Qing She''s face twisted as Su Xing''er spat her saliva on her. " You pig bastards, you think you can do anything to me?"


    " Haha! I like it!" Qing She''s smile became malevolent. " When I will fuck your arrogant pussy, I want you to struggle and beg."


    " UNGH!"


    He squeezed Su Xing''er''s cheeks and forced open her mouth, feeding her a strange pill.


    " Fuck! What the fuck was that?"


    Su Xing''er looked away as she tried to throw the pill. But she swallowed it in the end, making her panic.


    " Don''t worry, It''s a new¡­or should I say, ancient pill recipe?" Qing She grinned. " The legendary Yin Arousing Pill, which can turn even most unwilling woman into sex craving bitches."


    " And guess what? You will wraith in pain for a long time if you don''t fuck with another man."


    Su Xing''er''s face turned pale when she heard that. '' No-No! He must be joking! How is it possible?!''


    However, soon enough, she started to feel the burning sensation through her body, making her feel like she drank a lot of wine.


    " Xing''er! XING''ER!" Chu Yunli shouted. " Xing''er, What''s happening to you?"


    " Oh, She is getting aroused." Qing She grinned. Su Xing''er bit her lips as she tried toe back to her senses.


    " Ngh! No! I am¡­sober!''


    However, the burning sensation increased making her folds moist.


    Qing She grinned as he started to take off his clothes. Su Xing''er snorted as she looked away, her head swaying.


    " How, small¡­"


    " Yo-You!"


    Qing She was enraged when he heard the taunt of Su Xing''er. " Small or not, You will scream my name soon."


    " Oh, I doubt it though."


    Suddenly, a voice interrupted Qing She, along with his subordinate.


    The warehouse door opened as a figure walked inside.


    " Didn''t I tell you?" Qing She shouted. " To not disturb me?"


    However, he paused when he saw the blood dripping from the masked figure''s fist. His body tensed as he looked at him.


    " Who are you?"


    " Your death."


    Suddenly, the figure arched his body as he rushed towards them. His speed was far too great, making them unable to reach in time.


    *CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!*


    He punched three of the gangsters instantly, throwing them away like sandbags. The sound of bone crunching made Qing She shiver.


    He saw the men who got punched remained still on the ground, not even moving an inch from pain.


    " Yo-You killed them?" Qing She asked with horror."


    " Yeah? They got pretty fragile bodies." The masked figure snickered as he pointed his bloody fist at him.


    " What about you?"

 Chapter 146: Small Talk

    Qing She''s expression twisted when he saw the masked figure slowly approaching him.


    " Damn it! Bastard! Don''t you know who am I?" Qing She shouted as he pulled out arge knife behind his back.


    " Did you care about Chu Ming''s status?" Jia Hao raised his eyebrows.


    " Wh-Why would I?" Qing She snorted. " You don''t know who are you messing with, you bastard. Just a single sentence from them, and people like Chu Ming would vanish."


    " I don''t really care about the Gu Family, You see?" Jia Hao chuckled as he walked forward. " So, start thinking of another thing to scare me off."


    Qing She''s expression turned ugly when he heard Jia Hao''s words. " Yo-Uou! How did you¡­!!!"


    He never expected the masked figure to expose his hidden backer like that. The Gu Family was one of the rich families in the Capital City.


    They hired the Vine Snake Gang to kidnap the daughter of Chu Ming to frame him for a crime. After that, they nned to encounter Chu Ming in the middle of the chase, promptly erasing all the evidence.


    As for Chu Yunli, the young master of Gu Family showed interest in her. They nned to sell her to him and take Su Yunqi for themselves.


    Since the Gu Family got big hands, the Vine Snake Gang didn''t care about their action. After all, They would be protected by the Gu Family.


    But to think the person before him didn''t care about the Gu Family. This made him hesitant.


    However, looking at his subordinates lying on the ground, Qing She clenched his dagger. He could see the cold and calcting eyes.


    '' He isn''t going to let me go¡­Why not put everything into my strength?!''


    " Oh? I guess you chose a struggling death, huh?" Jia Haoughed as he walked forward, assuming a boxing pose. Qing She rushed forward as he swung his dagger.


    However, Jia Hao swiftly caught his wrist and twisted it, making Qing She let out a painful yelp. He dropped his knife as Jia Hao caught it in the midair.


    Instantly, he used the Swift Dagger Arts, shing the knife in his hands in an exquisite way. The dagger moved swiftly mixing with Jia Hao''s superior physical strength.


    *SWISH! SWISH!*


    Qing She tried to punch Jia Hao. However, all couldn''t feel his right arm at all. Looking at it, Qing She''s eyes almost popped out.


    " ARRRGHHHH!"


    Blood sttered as he saw his arm lying on the ground, with a sharp and pristine cut. With a sharp cry, Qing She fell to the ground, lying in his own pool of blood.


    Jia Hao hurried and walked towards Chu Yunli and Su Xing''er. Su Xing''er''s entire body turned red as she was breathing heavily.


    " Xing''er! Xing''er! Are you alright?" Jia Hao hurried as he took shook Su Xing''er. With a sh of his dagger, he severed the ropes binding Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli.


    " Brother Hao! It''s you!"


    Chu Yunli cried out as she hugged Jia Hao tightly, Her body was shivering as she finally fainted. Jia Hao grimaced as he ced Chu Yunli on the chair. However, at that moment, Su Xing''er pounced on Jia Hao.


    " Jia Hao! Please help me!" Su Xing''er sobbed as she hugged Jia Hao tightly. Jia Hao could feel the heat radiating from her body, like she was having a high fever.


    '' Damn it, I don''t think I have any antidote.'' Jia Hao hesitated as he sshed some water on Su Xing''er.


    " Hao''er!" Su Xing''er kept holding him. " Please¡­It''s feeling so hot. I am feeling like I am burning."


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before he activated his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts. Suddenly, a swirl of desire qi with pink radiance appeared around Jia Hao, getting absorbed by his sapling of desire.


    However, the lustful energy was pretty turbid, perhaps due to the forced effect of the aphrodisiac consumed by Su Xing''er. However, Jia Hao used his technique to seal off the lustful desire of Su Xing''er, making her calm down a bit.


    " Ugh, My body¡­" Su Xing''er panted as she finally released Jia Hao. " Jia Hao, I am really burning. What sort of shit that bastard fed to me?"


    " Aphrodisiac." Jia Hao replied with a sigh. " And¡­As I have read, there is no antidote other than¡­"


    Su Xing''er''s face turned pale as she staggered, Making Jia Hao hold her for support. However, the moment he touched her, Su Xing''er felt an electrifying sensation through her body.


    It was like a primal hunger awakening from her body, trying to devour the warmth of Jia Hao instantly. Her throat turned dry and her mouth was sticky, making her thirsty.


    However, she wasn''t just seeking water. She felt like she was seeking essence¡­Raw, masculine essence.


    " Jia Hao, the pain is getting unbearable." Su Xing''er bit her lips as she spoke. " But, I can..manage."


    Jia Hao sighed when he heard that. Although he sealed the lustful thoughts of Su Xing''er, the physical effect of the medicine was still there.


    Besides, it won''t be healthy for Su Xing''er if she keeps suppressing them.


    " Xing''er, Can you hold Chu Yunli and walk out?" Jia Hao urged. Su Xing''er bit her lips as she looked around.


    The carnage, and bloodied scene, everything made her stomach churn. However, perhaps due to the effect of medicine, she didn''t bother much.


    Jia Hao helped her to evacuate. Su Xing''er held Chu Yunli and slowly got her out of the warehouse. Jia Hao secured them in a safe ce and gave some water to Su Xing''er.


    " Where are you going?" Su Xing''er held Jia Hao''s arm as she asked worriedly.


    " Don''t worry, I am right here." Jia Hao spoke with an assuring smile. " However, There are still some enemies around. I need to take care of them, to eliminate all the trouble from the roots."


    " But, What if you get hurt?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but be worried.


    Jia Hao only rubbed her palm. " I shall be right back. Just persist till then, alright?"


    " Be quick!"


    Su Xing''er shouted as she saw Jia Hao turning around and leaving. She held Chu Yunli tightly and regted her breath. However, her fingers slowly crept inside her underwear.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnnn!~"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Soon, a car approached the warehouse and stopped right before the door. A young man with a foxy eye walked out of the car. Four bodyguards followed him, each of them appeared to be powerful.


    " These bastards. Where did they all go?" Gu Fuchou, the second young master of the Gu Family spoke with irritation.


    One of his bodyguards looked around and frowned.


    " Young Master, I think something is wrong here."


    " What could be wrong?" Gu Fuchou ridiculed as he walked forward. " Oi! Bastard Qing She! Where are you?"


    However, at that moment, he saw a sharp glint of light shing past him, making him stunned.


    " Young Master!"


    " Damn it!"


    Gu Fuzhou trembled as he turned around. He saw one of his bodyguards kneeling on the ground, clutching his throat as blood spilled out from it.


    The other bodyguards were rmed as they rushed to protect Gu Fuzhou. But then, another glint of silver ray shed, slitting another bodyguard''s throat.


    " Damn it! Who is it!" Gu Fuzhou roared as he rushed towards the remaining bodyguards.


    Despite his bravado, he almost pissed in his pants out of horror. '' Fuck! Fuck! What the fuck is happening!?''


    '' Qing She! You bastard! You lured me here! I will fucking kill you next time!''


    " Yo, Young Master of Gu Family is running like that?"


    A voice startled Gu Fuzhou as he felt something in his legs, making him fall forward.


    " ARRGH!"


    An intense pain shot up as he couldn''t even get up on his feet. Turning around, he saw a small brick lying beside her, almost breaking his legs.


    The remaining two bodyguards rushed to protect Gu Fuzhou. However, they paused as they saw a masked figure walking towards them. He was holding a knife dripping with blood.


    " Well, Believe me, the next person who is going to move will die." Jia Hao spoke calmly.


    " Bastard! You dare!"


    A bodyguard rolled his sleeves as he walked forward, his muscles bulging with veins. Jia Hao sighed as he held the knife and raised his hands.


    " I guess you are all deaf."


    *SWISH!*


    The knife vanished from Jia Hao''s hands as it shot toward the bodyguard. The bodyguard was surprised as he tried to catch it. However, when he caught itm he realized it was an afterimage.


    " Huh?"


    Confusion was thest thing the bodyguard saw before he copsed on the ground, with a knife embedded in his forehead.


    The remaining bodyguard remained frozen as he the masked figure walked towards him.


    " Fucker! Help me!" Gu Fuchou shouted as he crawled towards the remaining bodyguard.


    However, after a while, Jia Hao killed the remaining one eventually.


    He squatted before Gu Fuchou with a smile. " Now, I believe we can talk peacefully?"


    " Wh-What do you want?" Gu Fuchou trembled. " Mo-Money! Yes, I can give you as much money as you want."


    " Nope." Jia Hao smiled brightly. " I need your confession."

 Chapter 147: Treating Su Xinger

    After a while, police arrived with ring sirens as they surrounded the area. The police guards rushed out as they searched around.


    " Boss Chu! Hurry up here!"


    " Wh-What the hell¡­"


    " Who could have possibly done that?"


    Chu Ming frowned as he saw the dead bodies of the bodyguards lying around. However, his expression changed as he saw a body moving.


    " Look! That young man is alive!"


    " Hurry up and tend him!"


    " Ngh?"


    Gu Fuchou opened his eyes as he saw the police officers.


    " AHHHH! SAVE ME! SAVE ME FROM THAT MONSTER!"


    " Calm down! We are here to rescue you¡­"


    " I surrender!" Gu Fuchou cried out in pain. " I admit I sent Vine Snake Gang to kidnap Chu Ming''s daughter. I admit it was Fu Zhitao, the District Superintendent who helped me. He even covered many crimes for me."


    " Let me live! Let me live! I surrender!"


    Expressions of the police officers changed when they heard the pleas of Gu Fuchou. Chu Ming''s expression changed as he clutched the cors of Gu Fuchou.


    " Motherfucker! What did you do to my daughter!?"


    " I¡­I¡­"


    " Calm down, Boss Chu!" The other officers dragged him back.This person is severely injured. Look at him!"


    Chu Ming clenched his fist, but he realized that others were telling the truth. Gu Fuchou''s bones were broken and his crotch was stained red.


    " Take him to the hospital! And arrest whoever is remaining!" Chu Ming shouted.


    But at that moment, he got a call.


    " Is it Mr. Chu Ming? Father of Chu Yunli?"


    " Y-Yes?" Who is it?" Chu Ming became rmed.


    " I am speaking from City Hospital. Miss Chu is admitted here. But no need to worry, she just received some minor mental shock."


    " Really? Yunli is there?!" Chu Ming felt like his heart was going to explode from sudden anxiety and relief. " Is there anyone else with her?"


    " Her friends dropped her here and asked to inform you. However, they seemed to be in a hurry as they left."


    " Don''t worry, I shall be right there."


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Hnngh¡­Jia Hao¡­"


    Jia Hao drove the car as Su Xing''er was sitting beside her. Her face was flushed as she leaned back on her seat, her finger stroking her swollen folds more and more.


    " Fuck¡­To think I will¡­show such a side of me¡­in front of you" Su Xing''er panted as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " It''s alright." Jia Hao smiled bitterly.


    " You are not¡­thinking anything¡­bad about me?"


    " Why would I?" Jia Hao retorted. " You are saying like I don''t know you, Xing''er. It''s clearly the effect of the medicine. And even if you masturbate, it''s not a bad thing. Even I jack off."


    " Pffft¡­"


    Su Xing''erughed out as she gasped for air. " Fuck, You are really¡­good at changing topics. I am worried about¡­Chu Yunli."


    " Don''t worry, His father must have arrived there by now." Jia Hao looked at her. " My first priority is you, Xing''er."


    " And¡­ Are you sure?"


    Su Xing''er bit her lips when she heard Jia Hao. " Is there any cure for this thing?"


    " I¡­I don''t think so?"


    " Then do it¡­Nngh!~" Su Xing''er''s stroking became faster as tears welled up in her eyes. " I can''t¡­I just can''t endure these feelings."


    " I need¡­I need it." Su Xing''er panted. " Jia Hao, Please¡­Relieve my urges."


    Su Xing''er was wearing Jia Hao''s shirt as her clothes were torn by the gangsters. Jia Hao stopped before a luxurious hotel as he parked his car.


    Su Xing''er adjusted her clothes as she felt her legs trembling too much.


    " Don''t worry, I will handle it." Jia Hao sighed as he wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up easily.


    Su Xing''er let out a soft yelp as she got lifted by Jia Hao. She hugged her neck and allowed herself to get carried by Jia Hao''s muscr arms.


    She could feel his hot breath, and the masculine scent from his body, making her mind even dizzier. She felt like her blood was boiling inside her body.


    Jia Hao hurried inside and stood before the reception table.


    " I am Jia Hao. I suppose there is a suite booked under my name?" Jia Hao spoke hurriedly.


    The receptionist was stunned as he nodded hurriedly. " Ye-Yes, Mr. Jia¡­"


    " Q7C65, The code." Jia Hao looked at him and spoke. " Is it right?"


    " Yes¡­"


    The receptionist looked at Jia Hao and Su Xing''er in his arms with a suspicious gaze. However, he realized that he shouldn''t know what he was not supposed to.


    " Very well, Send a bottle of red wine, chilled water, ice cubes, and some bath towels to my room." Jia Hao held Su Xing''er and hurried inside.


    " Damn it, These rich silkpants." The receptionist couldn''t help but sneer. " Taking out a girl in this state, he is probably going to take advantage of her."


    Su Xing''er buried her face in Jia Hao''s arms, feeling utterly embarrassed. " Gosh, That receptionist must have thought some crazy things about us."


    " Let them think¡­" Jia Hao muttered. " Not like I give any damn about their opinion."


    " But this is so embarrassing." Su Xing''er kept hiding her face. However, Jia Hao only grinned as he took her inside the suite.


    cing her on the bed, Jia Hao took a deep breath.


    " Su Xing''er¡­I am going to do it."


    " Mhm¡­" Su Xing''er''s breathing became hurried when she saw Jia Hao taking off his clothes.


    " Xing''er¡­Spread your legs."


    " En?"


    Su Xing''er spoke like she was drunk. However, hearing Jia Hao''s voice, she couldn''t help but nod and spread her legs. Her breath hitched as she felt Jia Hao taking off her panties, making a cool breeze of air hitting her wet folds.


    " Haah, Xing''er, It''s swollen down here." Jia Hao muttered as he slowly caressed it. " Is it feeling painful?"


    " Yes¡­It''s very, hot and¡­itchy." Su Xing''er panted. Jia Hao nodded as drank some cold water.


    " hu-Huh?!" Su Xing''er panicked when she felt Jia Hai''s face nearing her pussy. " Wh-What are you doing?"


    Suddenly, she felt a burst of cold from her private parts as she felt Jia Hao''s cold tongue slowly licking her down there.


    " UUNNNGHH!~"


    Su Xing''er let out a sweet moan as she felt Jia Hao''s lips kissing her private lips.


    " Jia Hao¡­It''s¡­Dirty down there¡­ Don''t¡­Lick."


    " Is it feeling good?" Jia Hao looked at her and asked. Su Xing''er nodded with a pant. " Yes¡­The irritation lessened a bit."


    " This is not dirty, Xing''er." Jia Hao smiled as he put an ice cube in his mouth. " I love all parts of your body."


    " And I shall treat you gently."


    " Hnnngh!~"


    Su Xing''er panted as she could feel the coldness slowly relieving her red and swollen folds. She felt like her pain was lessening a bit, but the actions of Jia Hao were so intimate that they made Su Xing''er arouse.


    She was very clumsy while masturbating, so she made her folds painfully swollen. But now, thanks to Jia Hao''s magical tongue, she felt very rxed.


    " Jia Hao, I need to¡­confess something."


    .

 Chapter 148: Su Xingers Confession (R-18)

    " What is it, Xing''er?" Jia Hao used his lips to slowly roll the ice cube on the swollen folds of Su Xing''er, making them twitch.


    " You and¡­Sister Lan¡­going out?" Su Xing''er asked in a low voice.


    " Yes?"


    " I am very jealous." Su Xing''er muttered. " I really felt empty in my heart when I heard that. I felt like I lost¡­something important."


    " Hnnngh!~ Wh-Why aren''t you saying¡­anything?"


    Su Xing''er kept taking deep breaths as she looked at Jia Hao. His tongue worked like magic, its tip rubbing her pleasure spot with a gentle coolness.


    He also stroked his finger inside her pussy. Unlike her hurried fingering, Jia Hao''s finger felt more gentle, yet more effective. It was like he knew all the switches inside her body, turning them on like an expert.


    " Uwaahh!~ Jia Hao¡­I am¡­Uhooouuu!~"


    With a gush, Su Xing''er''s hips bucked forward, rubbing against Jia Hao''s face. Sweet spring water spurt out, drenching his face with a citrusy smell.


    " I am¡­I am so¡­sorry."


    Su Xing''er covered her face with her palms when she saw that. She couldn''t look at Jia Hao in such an embarrassing state.


    However, she felt Jia Hao pulling away her palm, making her look into her eyes.


    " Well, You let out quite a lot." Jia Hao grinned as he caressed her hair. " As for your confession¡­ I know what you wanted to say."


    " I know you liked me, Xing''er."


    " Wh-What?"


    Su Xing''er was startled when she heard that. Jia Hao sat beside her and nodded. " I knew it all along. And, It''s not like I don''t like you either."


    " But I was torn between you and Su Lan. I was torn between both''s affections."


    " I thought distancing myself from you would do¡­But I can''t." Jia Hao took a deep breath.


    " Then why¡­" Su Xing''er hugged her tightly, her breasts rubbing against his chest. " Why didn''t you confess to me first."


    " Because I thought you might weird out." Jia Hao sighed. " And¡­Su Lan confessed to me first. So, I just¡­can''t¡­"


    " However¡­"


    Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er with deep eyes. " Xing''er, You realize we are going to have intercourse, right?"


    " I¡­I just can''t let you go after this. Xing''er, I will take responsibility for my actions."


    " So¡­Are you willing to be mine?"


    Su Xing''er''s brain felt dizzy when she heard the words of Jia Hao. She didn''t answer anything, she simply hugged Jia Hao tightly and kissed him.


    " Jia Hao¡­I just can''t bear this pain anymore." Su Xing''er panted near his ears, gently nipping them. " Please¡­Take me."


    " As you wish¡­"


    Lying on the bed, Su Xing''er saw Jia Hao parting her legs, his erect rod aimed at her sacred gate. She couldn''t help but gulp nervously, seeing the magnificent size of Jia Hao''s manhood.


    " Wo-Wow¡­That''s pretty¡­Big."


    " Don''t worry, Xing''er." Jia Hao cooed. " I will be gentle."


    " Unngh!~"


    Su Xing''er took a sharp breath as she felt a hot and stiff object parting her folds, entering inside her hole with all its glory. As Jia Hao moved his hips, he slowly pushed his rod more and more inside.


    He could feel the tightness inside Su Xing''er''s pussy. Su Xing''er''s breathing became harder as she felt her fleshly walls getting parted by Jia Hao''s cock.


    " Annghhh!~ It¡­It hurts! It hurts!" Su Xing''er felt a sting of pain as she felt Jia Hao bury his entire thing inside her.


    He was right above him as she looked at him with her tear filled eyes. Jia Hao leaned forward as he kissed her, his palm caressing her soft breasts."


    " It''s alright, Xing''er. The pain will fade away." Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice. " You don''t need to worry¡­I willtake care of everything."


    " Haaah! Haaahh!"


    Su Xing''er took deep breaths as she nodded. " You¡­You can move."


    " As you wish."


    " Hnnnghhh! This¡­Nnghhh!~ Feels weird¡­"


    Su Xing''er felt Jia Hao''s rod slip outside only to thrust back again with more vigor. Jia Hao started with slow and deep thrusts, making Su Xing''er adjust to his size.


    " No¡­This isn''t¡­enough."


    She wrapped her arms around Jia Hao''s neck and looked at him. " Harder! Jia Hao¡­Go¡­harder."


    " But this is your first time¡­"


    " I can handle¡­It." Su Xing''er panted. " Jia Hao, I¡­I don''t have time to experiment. Just¡­Let''s get¡­raw."


    Jia Hao held Su Xing''er''s body as he increased the pace of his thrusts increased.


    " Ahhn!~ Ahnn!~ Yess!~ This feels¡­AHNN!~"


    Su Xing''er felt that her and Jia Hao''s body moving in sync. Whether it was the effect of medicine or the effect of her feelings for Jia Hao, Su Xing''er didn''t care.


    At that moment, their body already turned into one, rocking the bed together,


    *PAA! PAA! PAA!*


    The sound of flesh pping together echoed across the room.


    " Yess! Yess! Ahnnn! I am cumming!"


    Su Xing''er couldn''t wait as she squirted once again, making her hole more slippery. She just finished her orgasm, before Jia Hao started to pound her again.


    " Hnnngh!~ Oh god¡­Jia Hao, You know¡­My body so well¡­" Su Xing''er panted as she wrapped her legs around Jia Hao''s waist.


    " Haah! Haah! Su Xing''er¡­ I am¡­I am cumming!~"


    " Yes! Fill me up!"


    Su Xing''er and Jia Hao matched their climax as Su Xing''er''s eyes rolled back with pleasure. She could feel the gush of warm fluid inside her pussy, freshly pumped out by Jia Hao.


    After a dozen of seconds, Jia Hao was lying on Su Xing''er''s body, their sweat mixing with each other.


    " Xing''er¡­ I am¡­sorry."


    " It''s¡­Alright." Su Xing''er''s eyes remained closed as she gained a moment of rity.


    " You aren''t mad?"


    " You did what you were supposed to do." Su Xing''er hugged Jia Hao''s muscr frame. " I would rather be taken by you than any other bastard."


    " Xing''er¡­But I can''t let you go now." Jia Hao looked at her. " You are my woman now, Xing''er. I can''t throw my responsibility."


    " Then what about Elder Sister?" Su Xing''er opened one eye and looked at Jia Hao.


    " I¡­ I can''t let her go either." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " What a bastard¡­" Su Xing''er huffed. " ying with both sisters? What an evil yboy¡­"


    " Who said I can''t love multiple women at once and stay loyal to them?" Jia Hao snorted. " And¡­At most, I will marry you and¡­Keep my love with Su Lan subtly."


    " I just¡­Can''t see any of you be sad over me¡­"


    " It''s¡­Alright." Su Xing''er looked away. " We shall discuss itter.


    However, her heart was thumping wildly when she heard Jia Hao mentioning marriage. She couldn''t help but feel sweet in her heart.


    " But what now?" Jia Hao looked at her, making her smile mischievously.


    " I don''t think the effect of medicine is over." Su Xing''er rubbed her body against Jia Hao."


    " I need more¡­"


    Jia Hao raised his brows. " But, Isn''t this your first time? You sure¡­


    " Onii chan¡­"Su Xing''er cooed as she licked the earlobes of Jia Hao."


    " Please~"


    Jia Hao''s breathing and rod, both turned hard instantly. Su Xing''er''s voice was far too arousing. Su Xing''er realized it as she couldn''t help but smile.


    " Please, Onii chan¡­Let''s enjoy tonight. We can talk¡­tomorrow morning."


    " I don''t want to have any regrets tonight."

 Chapter 149: Understanding Between Sisters

    As the morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, Su Xing''er slowly woke up. She saw Jia Hao was lying beside herpletely naked and spent. Yet he was hugging her naked body with warmth and protection.


    Putting it away gently, Su Xing''er rolled to the side of the bed. Looking at the red patch and the stains of fluid on the bedsheet, She couldn''t help but turn bright red instantly.


    " Ungh!~"


    As she tried to get off the bed, she couldn''t help but feel like hers legs almost giving up. A strange pain ached herher region, making her frown a bit.


    " Damn it, We are really wildst night." Su Xing''er muttered as she saw Jia Hao sleeping peacefully.


    Their treatmentsted over four hours. Only after that Su Xing''er felt the effectiveness of the aphrodisiac wear off.


    Remembering Jia Hao''s words and her own actions, she couldn''t help but bury her face in the pillow out of embarrassment.


    '' No way! No way I called him onii chan!'' Su Xing''er bit her lips in frustration.


    But treating Jia Hao like her older brother, it really made the entire thing exceptionally hot and intimate.


    '' Jia Hao messaged Elder Sisterst night that we would not beingst night. However¡­''


    She couldn''t help but feel bad about Su Lan. After all, she saw a rare smile of love in her face when Su Lan talked about her and Jia Hao''s rtionship.


    '' How can I¡­ Sleep with my Elder Sister''s lover?''


    Su Xing''er clenched her fist as she picked her phone. '' Even Jia Hao said that he would take responsibility for his actions. If he can, why can''t I?''


    '' I would rather get disowned by Elder Sister than keep her in darkness.''


    When Jia Hao woke up, he saw Su Xing''er wasn''t beside her.


    '' Ugh, Did she woke up?''


    Jia Hao never thought Su Xing''er would show such an aggressive side of herst night. It was her first time, yet shepletely matched her pace with Jia Hao.


    '' I guess her martial arts practice gave her some unexpected advantages.''


    " Xing''er, Are you in hall¡­"


    Jia Hao walked open the door and his body froze instantly. He saw Su Lan and Su Xing''er sitting on the couch, looking at each other.


    Hearing the door opening, both of them looked at Jia Hao, who was standing with his full glory. Jia Hao hurriedly closed the door and put on a night robe before walking out.


    " Sister Lan, I¡­"


    " Enough." Su Lan took a took a deep breath as she didn''t look at Jia Hao. " Su Xing''er, continue what you were saying."


    Su Xing''er took a deep breath and nodded. " And that medicine was too painful. The only way to neutralize it was to¡­have sex,"


    " What about Chu Yunli?" Su Lan looked at her. Su Xing''er didn''t expect Su Lan to retain her calmness. " She is fine. She messaged me early this morning, saying she is safe and sound."


    " Xing''er,e to me¡­"


    Su Xing''er bit her lips as she leaned closer to Su Lan. Suddenly, Su Lan hugged her tightly.


    " I am sorry¡­You had to endure such torment." Su Lan rubbed Su Xing''er hair as she soothed her. " You can let it out, Xing''er."


    " Wuuuuu! Elder Sister!"


    Su Xing''er couldn''t control as she started to sob. " I am sorry¡­Elder Sister, I am so sorry for my actions."


    " But¡­.But I don''t regret it." Su Xing''er spoke. " In fact¡­Last night''s even made me realize something."


    Su Lan let go of her and looked at her. " What is it, Xing''er?"


    " That I also love Jia Hao." Su Xing''er didn''t averted her gaze. " I realize in fact, I also liked him from the veru beginning. But, perhaps my heart felt it was too¡­clumsy and ridiculous. I deluded myself, thinking that I don''t need any love in my life."


    " But, I always needed Jia Hao in time of need. He was always there tofort me."


    " Why is it always you, Sister." Su Xing''er spoke with a guilty voice. " I know I shouldn''t be saying this, but I need to vent it out."


    " Why do you always get better things? Why? I¡­I just can''t understand."


    " Why only you have the right to love Jia Hao? And not?"


    " But I am not keeping Jia Hao to all myself?" Su Lan smiled wryly. " Have you forgotten the terms I and Jia Hao agreed on?"


    Su Xing''er paused as she realized what Su Lan was talking about. " Yo¡­You¡­You mean¡­We can share him?"


    " I mean¡­It''s, possible¡­" Su Lan muttered. " After all, There is no point in crying over spilled milk. Why not make amends for a better future?"


    " Ahem, Ladies¡­" Jia Hao finally coughed. " May I have your attention?"


    " How can you make all these decisions without asking me?"


    " Shut up!"


    " Silence!"


    Jia Hao became speechless when he heard both of them shouting at him at the same time.


    " Hmph, Don''t think I can''t see that grinning face behind your worrisome expression." Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " Getting both the sisters, I know your face is full of glee."


    " But, Didn''t you just say what I did was necessary¡­" Jia Hao tried to argue.


    " So what?" Su Lan red at him." Hao''er, I never said you were wrong. But I don''t need any reason to be annoyed at you, right?"


    " The fact doesn''t change that you slept with my sister, who is¡­.technically your step sister too."


    " I THOUGHT WE DIDN''T AGREE ON THIS STEP PART?" Jia Hao was baffled.


    " What do you mean?" Su Lan snorted. " Did you forget? You signed on the paper given by Mom. She legally adopted you so you can mix with our family without any issue."


    " So, I dere your punishment, Hao''er." Su Lan spoke with a determined voice. " For a week, you shall not have any intimate contact with us."


    " Yeah, You need to get punished."


    Su Xing''er also put on a serious expression, despite holding back herughter.


    " I already exined things to Mom. So, she doesn''t know anything." Su Lan spoke. " Come, Xing''er. You look very tired. Let''s go and have some breakfast."


    " Mhm! I want to eat some stuffed buns."


    " Let''s go then."


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh in frustration. " Great! You guys reconciled among yourself and pushed all the me on me, eh?"


    Both Su Lan and Su Xing''er giggled. But they left after that.


    '' Hnph, Trying to y games with me?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but smirk. '' I shall show you then.''


    As a wise man of ancient times has said, If she bes unavable for another, there is always her mother.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Returning to the house, Su Lan briefly mentioned the situation to Su Yunqi. She merely said that some people tried to attack Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli. However, Jia Hao managed to subdue them easily.


    " My goodness!" Su Yunqi was rmed. " Xing''er! Hao''er! Are you alright?"


    " I am alright, Mom." Su Xing''er nodded. " Just a bit¡­tired."


    " Damn it, How did this happen?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but clench her teeth. " Which bastards are aiming at you this time?"


    " Aunt Su, The attack wasn''t directed for Su Xing''er." Jia Hao replied. " It was the enemies of Chu Yunli''s father. They tried to abduct her and Su Xing''er also got caught as she tried to save Chu Yunli."


    Su Yunqi walked towards Jia Hao as she looked him up to down. " Hao''er, I hope you aren''t injured. How could you be so¡­reckless."


    " I am alright, Aunt Su." Jia Hao''s heart became warm when he saw Su Yunqi''s concern. " Haha, how could some mere goons hurt me? Did you forget? I am the champion of the National Martial Arts tournament."


    " No matter what, You are my family, Hao''er." Su Yunqi sighed. " I know you are capable and powerful. However, I would rather not want you to get into any trouble."


    " It''s my duty to protect the Su Family, Aunt Su." Jia Hao looked at her and then at Su sisters.


    " I have lost my family once. I won''t lose them again."


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Yunqi hugged him tightly. " It''s alright. I won''t let you go either."


    " Alright, Mom." Su Xing''er turned around to leave. " I need to go and take some rest."


    " By the way, Xing''er¡­" Su Yunqi looked at her. " What''s inside that bag?"


    " Th-That¡­" Su Xing''er panicked. " That''s my clothes. They got soiled so¡­"


    " Is that so?"


    " I willtake care of them, Mom." Su Xing''er hurriedly walked away. " Now, Excuse me."


    " Strange¡­" Su Yunqi looked at her. Su Lan stepped forward. " maybe she is really tired, Mom. Let her be."


    " Mhm, you are right."


    Jia Hao and Su Lan looked at each other with understanding. Both of them knew that inside the bag was the patch of sheets, stained by Su Xing''er''s maiden blood.


    At that moment, a news headline shed on the screen.


    " Breaking News! Last night, a violent gang infighting happened in Vine Snake Gang''s headquarters. Most of the gang members were brutally killed while the leader of the gang is currently in ICU ward."


    " Meanwhile, A high level of corruption has been unveiled, which pointed at the District Superintendent and some other prominent figures in Eastern Sea City."


    " The third young master of Gu Family, Gu Fuchou was also attacked. He is currently in custody, used of kidnapping and human trafficking. Currently, there is no response from from Gu Family."


    " However, we have gotten a video from an anonymous source, where Gu Fuchou is being tortured. He has confessed some shocking truth, which would shake the upper echelon of the Eastern Sky City and the Capital City."


    " An eventful night which has been filled with bloodshed, violence, crime, and confession. Stay tuned with us for more updates."

 Chapter 150: Helping Black Butterfly

    Jia Hao returned to his room as hey on his bed. He didn''t kill Gu Fuchou but used torture to extract a confession from him.


    '' If I kill him right now, It wouldn''t be of much use. The Gu Family is a den of evil beasts. I need to take care of an entire n.''


    While he confessed, Jia Hao recorded everything and sent the video to ck Butterfly.


    [Holy shit! It was you?]


    [ My goodness! You are more ruthless than I thought! Are you some vignte superhero?]


    [ Hehe, Don''t worry. With me here, no one would be able to trace the source of this video]


    After messaging Jia Hao, ck Butterfly spread the video across the inte. The police and the Gu Family were rmed as they took down the video from the forums.


    However, ck Butterfly was using various burner ounts to spread the video across the inte. Not to mention, she also sent a copy to the media channels.


    Now, even if Gu Fuchou''s pleas that he was confessed falsely due to the torture, the other evidence around him would prove his ims otherwise.


    Jia Hao grinned as he saw the entire intemunity set aze by the news. Everyone couldn''t help but bash Gu Fuchou.


    " Bah! What a bastard! He actually treats girls like that."


    " Drugs and human trafficking? He should rot in jail!"


    " Haha, You guys are acting so surprised. If you look at the past allegations on Gu Fuchou, you wouldn''t be saying that."


    " Fuck! Being rich would make you bend thews, huh?"


    " Hahaha! I am feeling so good when that bastard got castrated!"


    " Eat the rich!"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he shook his head. '' I didn''t just cut off his hands. I gave a nice surprise on his spine too.''


    He used a slight internal energy and pulsed it into the spine of Gu Fuchou, shattering it internally.After a few jolts, his back would give up abruptly, making his entire body paralyzed for life.


    '' Not to mention, How can I lose my key to get a few more waifus?'' Jia Hao grinned. '' Gu Family is a fat piece of meat which I need to butcher slowly after all.''


    [ Hey, You up?]


    Jia Hao looked at his phone and realized it was ck Butterfly who was messaging.


    [ Yeah, I just woke up]


    [ Tsk, You are such azy bum. Did you see the news?]


    [ Haha, How could I miss that?] Jia Hao typed back.


    [ Thank you for your help, Sister ck]


    [ Hey, Sister ck sounds weird]


    Jia Hao gave a coy smile.


    [ Should I call you by your original name?]


    [ Wh-What do you mean?] ck Butterfly was rmed. [ You possibly couldn''t¡­]


    [ Hehe, Who knows?]


    Jia Hao chuckled when he saw the reaction of ck Butterfly. She must be jumping from frustration at the other end of the screen.


    How could Jia Hao not know her original name since he yed the Urban Fantasy game so thoroughly?


    '' Along withst time, I managed to impress ck Butterfly twice. Now, I only need to impress her once again to get the achievement ''


    And, Jia Hao knew how to do it. Without any dy, he messaged back to ck Butterfly.


    [ Sister, Are there any fun bounties that appeared in the Shadow Hive?]


    [ How do you know about the Shadow Hive?] ck Butterfly gave an emoji of suspicion.


    [ Are you also a member there?]


    [ Maybe?]


    [ There are always bounties flooding in the Shadow Hive. Speaking of which, a new high level bounty actually dropped]


    [ It''s about a stolen hard drive. It is supposed to contain some sensitive data of a bigpany. They have put a bounty of three hundred million yuan on it]


    [ Haha, I see¡­]


    Jia Hao became excited when he heard that. He knows exactly who stole the hard drive and where it is currently.


    This side quest was extremely tiring in the real game. One needs to constantly solve puzzles one after another and gather various clues to solve them.


    Thankfully, unlike various other quests, the contents of this side quest never changed. Therefore, yers can look for a walkthrough if they are stuck in this stage.


    [ Sister, Wanna earn some quick money?]


    [ What do you mean?]


    [ Well, If you give me your feet pics, I will give you a tip on the bounty]


    [....]


    Jia Hao rubbed under his nose when he saw the reaction of the ck Butterfly. In fact, he was going to give her the full tip. But, he couldn''t help but tease her a bit.


    [ I am TOTALLY not judging you, Jia Hao. But¡­You are gross]


    [ I will take that as apliment. So, are you in or not?]


    [... You!! Are you telling the truth?]


    She messaged with a pouting sticker. Jia Haoughed when he saw that.


    [ If I lie to you, you are free to share my private browsing history on the inte]


    [ Ugghh¡­Fine. A feet pic worth three hundred million Yuan would be pretty awesome]


    Soon, Jia Hao received a picture of a pair of beautiful feet. The feet looked so delicate and smooth, and the toes were very petite and cute.


    It was a perfect 10/10 feet, a heavenly portrait for a feet connoisseur.


    [ Well, Here is the tip. Track the phone of Anderson of Choogle Company. He stole the drive and hid in his private vi in Miami]


    [ Wait! This is a tip?] ck Butterfly was stunned. [ You just fucking gave me the entire information]


    [ Well, Your feet pic was pretty good. So, consider this as some extra help] Jia Hao typed with an impish smile.


    [ How did you know that it''s not a stock photo on the inte and truly the pic of my feet?]


    [ I have a good judgment of character. Since you trust me, I also gotta show my sincerity]


    [ Hmph¡­You just fell into my trap. That feet pic isn''t mine]


    [ Whatever, Sister ck]


    [ I told you to not call me that. Besides, I am going to check if your information is right or not]


    [ You can check it. It''s right there]


    [ Hmhm, I shall inform you right away. But, I want to ask something]


    [ What is it?]


    [ Can''t you change your name? It''s too¡­chunni]


    [ Haha, Nope] Jia Hao typed. [ Who knows? Maybe I will be one in the future?]


    [ Such a terrible eighth grade syndrome. Please seek a therapist]


    [ See you next time, Sister ck Butterfly]


    [ You too¡­]


    [Harem King of Nine Worlds]

 Chapter 151: Chu Yunlis Strange Persona

    As Jia Hao was resting, he suddenly got a call. Looking at the caller ID, he was surprised.


    '' Eh? Chu Yunli?'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly as he picked up the phone.


    " Hello, Sister Chu, I hope you are feeling well now."


    " I¡­I told you to call me Yunli."


    " Errm¡­" Jia Hao felt Chu Yunli''s voice was a bit odd. But he didn''t mind it. " Alright, Yunli. Are you happy now?"


    " Hehe, Thanks, Brother Hao. I am really d how you helped us yesterday night."


    " It was nothing, Yunli. I can''t bear myself to watch you and Xing''er getting hurt."


    " My dad waspletely enragedst night. However, I managed to calm him down." Chu Yunli smiled. " Brother Hao, Can youe to see me today?"


    " I mean¡­right now."


    " Right now?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " I am afraid I can''t. I mean, Xing''er is also tired¡­"


    " I just want to meet you, Brother Hao."


    " I see¡­ Don''t worry, I shall arrive in a few minutes." Jia Hao nodded.


    Ending the call, he couldn''t help but fall into a deep thought.


    Chu Yunli''s fate was supposed to be brutally assaulted and used by Gu Fuchou and the Gu Family men for three years before she managed to escape.


    After that, she would have turned into a vicious woman, killing and destroying others'' lives. She became a middle stage boss in the game, with a charming face and heart darker than the abyss.


    '' However, I saved her. I saved her from going to the abyss. Now, Her entire fate has been changed.''


    '' She wants to meet me alone? Why?''


    However, Jia Hao didn''t dwell much on it as he got up. Besides, he won''t let go of any chance to drive his new car.


    Soon enough, he arrived at Chu Yunli''s house. As he got out, he saw two security guards guarding the door.


    Well, It was pretty understandable. After all, Chu Ming probably tightened his daughter''s security after what happenedst night.


    However, Jia Hao didn''t need to wait for long. Chu Yunli hurried outside and smiled at Jia Hao.


    " Brother Hao, pleasee inside."


    " En¡­"


    As he entered her house, Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli. " Yunli, Are you really alright?"


    " I said I am fine, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli smiled. " in fact, I am in debt to you. Thanks for saving me yesterday. If you weren''t there¡­Xing''er and I¡­"


    " There is no ifs, Yunli." Jia Hao spoke with a determined voice. " No matter what, I won''t let any of my loved ones get harmed by such evil bastards."


    " Aw, you are so sweet and caring." Chu Yunli smiled. " I am so jealous of Elder Sister Lan and Xing''er. How could they get a brother like you."


    " How I wish you were my brother¡­"


    " Well, Aren''t you calling me Brother Hao?" Jia Hao grinned, easing the situation.


    Chu Yunli was stunned for a moment beforeughing out loud. " Haha, Now you have said that, That''s true."


    " Brother Hao, would you like some tea or coffee?"


    " Snacks, actually." Jia Hao replied. " And some juice if you have them."


    " Aha! I guessed so." Chu Yunli chuckled. " I have some special homemade cookies. And some guava juice. I would rmend you to add a bit of lime juice for some sour punch."


    " Well, Let''s see then."


    Jia Hao felt something was not quite right. However, he couldn''t put his hands on it. He silently activated his Six Desires Myriad Thought Art and sensed an emotional turmoil inside Chu Yunli.


    It wasplete chaos like all sorts of emotions were bubbling inside her.


    [ Name: Chu Yunli]


    [ Age: 19]


    [ Remarks: Suffering with a split personality disorder. She can be sweet and bubbly, and utter neurosis and obsession. Currently, have a crush on Jia Hao]


    [ Recent Future Points: Nothing in this week]


    Jia Hao almost spat out the juice when he saw that. '' Obsessive and neurosis? So she is kinda¡­"


    " What happened, Brother Hao?" Chu Yunli was concerned. " Are you ok?"


    " Oh, Yes¡­" Jia Hao nodded absent mindedly.


    " Brother Hao, You are really mysterious, aren''t you?"


    " Hm? Why do you think so?" Jia Hao chuckled when he heard Chu Yunli.


    " Well, I mean¡­" Chu Yunli twirled her hair." Who could have known, that such a sweet and perfect guy like you would be so¡­Violent."


    Jia Hao paused as he looked at Chu Yunli. " I thought you were unconscious?"


    " Hehe, I was¡­But I saw everything you did." Chu Yunli mimicked Jia Hao as she punched the air.


    " You are so cool, Brother Hao. Like This!"


    " One punch and you killed one guy. Your punches are so powerful. Not to mention, there was zero hesitation in your movements."


    Jia Hao''s face remained calm, but he couldn''t help but be a bit rmed.


    Su Xing''er was under drugs, so her memories of that time were very fuzzy. However, Chu Yunli was different.


    " Brother Hao, Can you teach me some self defence methods too?" Chu Yunli looked at Jia Hao cutely.


    " You look so handsome when you were attacking them with utter cold and ruthlessness."


    " It was because it was necessary, Yunli." Jia Hao finally replied.


    " I didn''t want to kill them because it felt good or something. I killed them because I am not someone who lets off the roots of weeds."


    " They wanted to kill us, so it''s only natural for them to be ready for death too."


    " I understand and I support your ideology very well." Chu Yunli nodded as she sighed. " Only if society had more people like you.


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao smiled amusedly. " But, Yunli, You really saw everything and know my secret. What should I do now?


    Chu Yunli gasped as her lips curled. She sat beside Jia Hao. " Well well, I am not a snitch. I wouldn''t reveal Brother Hao''s secret."


    " Not to mention, I already confessed to the police that there were more than one man who attacked the Vine Snake Gang."


    " How thoughtful of you." Jia Hao chuckled. " So, How should I gift you for this?"


    " Hmm, How about a little more¡­closeness between us?"


    '' This girl¡­She is crazy.''


    Jia Hao stared at Chu Yunli, who was giving a bright smile.


    '' And I like crazy.''

 Chapter 152: No Intimacy, Please

    After talking for a while, Jia Hao finally left Chu Yunli''s house.


    '' Damn, I was only thinking of having heroines. But look, I identally bagged a viiness.'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but mumble.


    However, It''s not like he minds it. Although Chu Yunli looks pretty bubbly and sweet now, she looks absolutely gorgeous and sadistic in her viin card.


    Jia Hao already prepared everything so he doesn''t get caught. He killed the bodyguards with the sharp fragments of steel de which got refined when he brought swords from Yun Continent to Azure Sea.


    With his Swift Dagger Skills and Divine Sage''s Eyes, his throwing capacity became top notch. So, from a distance, he was able to throw the fragments like some shuriken and kill the bodyguards of Gu Fuchou.


    However, he also erased all the evidence from the crime scene and pulled out those fragments carefully. Then, he also looked around to destroy any of his traces there.


    '' Well, It''s even better that Chu Yunli''s false confession would take the investigation away from me. Even if the Gu Family might try to investigate, they won''t be able to find much.''


    '' This is Eastern Sea City, not the capital city. We got our own rules after all.''


    Jia Hao got into the car as he slowly drove away. Seeing Jia Hao leaving, Chu Yunli still gazed at his departing car from the window.


    With a light hum, she wandered around the house, looking for any misced things and cing them in the right.


    '' As expected, He is truly unique. Even he has such a persona, and he is not ashamed to admit it.''


    Closing her eyes, she drank some juice, savoring the vor of every drop of it. She couldn''t help but reminisce about how Jia Hao killed the thugs.


    '' Such a graceful move when he severed the arm of that Qing She bastard. It was so perfect. The sshing blood, the agonizing cry¡­''


    '' But, I can''t reveal this to you.'' Chu Yunli couldn''t help but bite her lips, her eyes turning wet. '' What if he thinks of me as a creep? A psychopath?''


    '' I don''t want him to hate me. I want him to love me and love me so much.''


    '' My prince charming, my hero¡­''


    Chu Yunli has known Jia Hao for quite some time. When she came to y with Su Xing''er on vacations, she would meet Jia Hao too as Su Family and Jia Family were pretty close.


    She was very shy and introverted girl, who spent her childhood in her room only. Not to mention she used to be very sick those days.


    Her father was a policeman, so he was absent most of the time. Her mother¡­She and Chu Ming divorced each other. And although she still checked on her, Chu Yunli felt very alone.


    And in those days of loneliness and boredom, she found somethingpletely fascinating. Those are the case files kept by Chu Ming in his drawers.


    Various murders, killings, robberies, and other cases attracted Chu Yunli. Moreover, she even saw grotesque images of the crime scenes and autopsy reports.


    At first, she felt nauseous after looking at them. But as time passed, she read them like some casual textbook.


    Although her father tried to warn her many times, she didn''t stop. However, it was her first time when she saw a murder and bloodshed happening right before her.


    And rather than getting repulsed, she felt more attracted to Jia Hao.


    " It''s decided." Chu Yunli puffed her cheek.


    " I am going to know more about you."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Achhoo!"


    Jia Hao sneezed as he drove the car. " Damn, Did I catch a cold? Or someone thinking about me?"


    " Well, I am pretty free today. What should I do?"


    " Oh¡­Yeah, I am supposed to implement my n." Jia Hao grinned as he remembered the trouble of the Cai Family. He already prepared a n and couldn''t wait to see the reaction.


    " Wee, You must be Mr. Jia?" A person greeted Jia Hao. " Wee to our Donghu Chemical Laboratory. Although I have read your message, I am still unsure what you need."


    " You see, I need to make this thing dyed." Jia Hao exined his n to him. " Something like a small coating outside which will dissolve in half a day?"


    " Hmm,I understand. This isn''t a hard task for us. I already prepared the main thing. At most, it will take half an hour." The person replied.


    " However, May I know the use of this thing?"


    Jia Hao looked at the person with a chuckle. " I won''t use it in Tianshu Nation."


    Hearing Jia Hao''s cryptic remark, the person couldn''t help but be rmed. '' No way, Is he making a bomb or what?''


    " No need to ask more." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Don''t forget I am paying extra to keep your mouth shut."


    " Hehe, I understand. As long as our name doesn''t get tarnished, I won''t say anything at all."


    After half an hour, The person showed Jia Hao the demo. Jia Hao couldn''t help butugh. " Haha! Good! Very good. It''s exactly as I thought."


    " Alright, Here, Take your money." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " It''s a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Jia."


    Jia Hao returned to the mansion. The package was lying securely inside his Pot of Miracles. He divided it into several parts, so the chances of enchantment would increase.


    " Hao''er, Are you back?"


    Jia Hao looked at Su Lan, who wore a short yellow floral dress. " Yes, What is it, Sister Lan?"


    " Well, I was feeling a bit bored so¡­"


    " I guess Sister Lan forgot her own words." Jia Hao chortled. " No intimate contact for a week."


    " Wa-Wait, That¡­"


    Su Lan was speechless when she saw Jia Hao avoiding her like that. She thought she was just teasing him. But to think he would use that card against her.


    '' Hmph! Stinky Fellow!''


    However, her face couldn''t help but get sour when she remembered Jia Hao and Su Xing''er had already consummated their rtionship. She doesn''t want to stay behind her little sister.


    '' Ugh, I need to do something.''


    But then, Jia Hao walked out his room and ced a sign on his door.


    For 12 hours, Do not disturb.


    Su Lan was speechless as she couldn''t help but sigh.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao was thinking of something as he suddenly saw a burst of starlight appearing above him, entering his body.


    '' Eh? String of virtue? Right now?'' Jia Hao was surprised as he couldn''t understand what just happened.


    '' Hah, Such a virtuous person I am. I don''t even know what good deed I did.'' Jia Hao gave a narcissistic smile as he fell on the bed, closing his eyes.

 Chapter 153: Adultery And Revenge

    A night before.


    Cao Ze looked at his phone as it turned into an ugly smile. " I¡­I¡­Just can''t¡­"


    " Whoa! Brother Cao, What the hell happened?!"


    " Cao Ze, are you alright?"


    " I¡­.I just¡­"


    " Fuck! What the hell happened?"


    " Cao Ze, spill it! Are we not bros for life?"


    Cao Ze sighed as he threw his phone at them. " I installed a CCTV camera in my t."


    His friends and Cao Ze were drinking and Cao Ze finally broke down. When his friends saw the video, they couldn''t help but be rmed.


    " Motherfucking Bitch!"


    " Isn''t that Shumei?"


    " Fuck! Who is that other guy?"


    They saw Cao Ze''s girlfriend and her gym trainer getting all intimate inside the bedroom, which was supposed for Cao Ze and his girlfriend.


    " A few days ago, A king teenager gave me some hints." Cao Ze sniffled. " I tried to talk with Shumei and give her subtle hints. But she just brushed off, saying she is free and not cheating at all."


    " She said I am overthinking and suspecting her for nothing. She evn said that she isn''t entitled to me."


    " Butter, she said sorry and told me that she will consider my words."


    " But this bitch¡­" Cao Ze clenched his fist. " She now even brought that fucker to fuck on my bed?"


    " Holy shit! Cao Ze, Don''t dare to feel bad!"


    " Yeah, It''s not your fault."


    " Bruh, Have you forgotten who you are? Man the fuck up."


    His friends were rmed when they saw Cao Ze goingplete meltdown. Instead of mocking him, they became his pir.


    Even the bartender heard their talks and couldn''t help but be vicious... He made everyone''s drink free.


    " But, What can I do?" Cao Ze grumbled. " I can just throw her out of my house¡­"


    " That''s too light for her." One of his friends replied. " Hah, Cao Ze, You are an attorney. Why don''t you use that evil brain of yours?"


    " Well¡­"


    " How about we beat them?"


    " Then it would be advantageous for them." Cao Ze frowned. " She could get scot free if she lodges an allegation on me. Ya all know, thew favors women, etc."


    " What should we do now?"


    " Fuck, I can feel my blood boiling."


    Cao Ze''s lips curled. " Guys, Wanna help me?"


    " Sure, Why not?"


    " Let''s move then."


    They even made the bartender join their n and finally nodded.


    Within an hour, they wore ck clothes and wore masks to hide their faces.


    They looked at each other and easily broke the door lock.


    Slowly opening the door, they made sure not to alert the pair of adulters. As they walked inside, they could hear the faint moans from the bedroom.


    Looking at each other, they nodded with a cold grin and cut off the power supply.


    " Ahh!"


    " Ugh, Fuck! How could there be a ckout? I was close to finishing."


    " Huh? Strange. It looks like only our apartment''s electricity is gone?"


    " Let me check."


    They saw the gym trainer of Shumei walk out to the main hall. However, before he could react, one of the friends swung his crowbar.


    Crowbar, such a versatile weapon. It can easily rip off the hardest shell of aliens, not to mention a gym trainer. But they chose not to kill him.


    *WHCK!*


    " ARRGHHH!"


    Coach Yang instantly fell to his knees as he cried out in agony.


    However, Cao Ze and others didn''t give him a chance to catch a breath. They all began to kick him till he started to bleed.


    " HELP! SOMEONE HELP!"


    SHumei hurried to the hall, but when she realized what was happening, she couldn''t help but shout for help.


    Cao Ze, who wore a mask, went forward and gave a tight p to her.


    *PAAA*


    The p was crispy enough to m Shumei''s face on the floor. She remained dazed as her ears rang from the impact.


    " Guys! Take all the valuables!"


    " Fuck! I thought this house was supposed to be empty!"


    " Who cares, just take the things and go!"


    They ransacked the house and broke the safe, taking all the money and valuables. They even tied Shumei and the gym trainer and took a photo.


    And before going, Everyone took turns to give a tight kick to the ass of Shumei and the gym trainer. However, Cao Ze was the only one who aimed at his crotch than his ass.


    " AARGHH! IT HURTS! MOTHERFUCKERS!"


    " You dare to curse?"


    *SLAP! SLAP!*


    " NGH! Please! Spare my life!" the gym trainer cried out with his swollen face. " I just want to live! Arrgh!"


    " What a pathetic bastard."


    " Whoa! I thought he would be a scary dude after seeing his body!"


    " Turns out to be a little bird."


    After venting out, the robbers left the apartment.


    Coincidentally, Cao Ze arrived after ten minutes. " Wh-What happened?"


    He looked at Shumei with disbelief. " Shumei! I thought you said you were going to be out of town today?"


    " And who is this bastard?"


    " BABE! PLEASE SAVE ME!"


    Shumei cried out. " I¡­There were robbers here! They attacked us and stole things!"


    " Us?"


    Shumei finally realized something. " This¡­This man helped me. But the robbers beat him and tied with me."


    " They tied both of you naked?" Cao Ze was aghast. " How could they do this to you? And you, Sir. Thank you for helping my girlfriend to defend. If you were here¡­"


    " It''s¡­No¡­Problem¡­" The gym trainer groaned as he rolled on the ground.


    " Let me call the police then." Cao Ze freed them as he called the police. Shumei and her gym trainer finally wore their clothes.


    " Baby, We¡­We should leave. I am not feeling good."


    " No, Stay here." Cao Ze red at her. " We need to punish those bastards."


    " Ah, yes. Officer, You are here." Cao Ze greeted the police officer and exined the situation.


    " Where you were at that time?" The police asked.


    " I was with my friends, drinking and chatting in a pub." Cao Ze replied. " I just came because I thought something was amiss."


    " I have installed a CCTV camera here. I wonder if that could help?"


    The policemen were ted. " Sure, Let''s see that."


    Shumei and the gym trainer''s faces turned pale when they saw that.


    As they opened the CCTV, all they could see was the passionate lovemaking of Shumei and the gym trainer.


    " Mei¡­Meimei¡­"


    Cao Ze was stunned as he pointed at it.


    " BITCH! YOU DARE TO SLEEP WITH THIS BASTARD BEHIND MY BACK!?"


    The police officers were also stunned when they saw the video. Everything was recorded till the ckout happened.


    " Officer, Now I doubt¡­" Cao Ze took a deep breath. " I don''t think any robbers came here. Maybe these two stole my things and made the whole scenario."


    " Please, Arrest them."


    " No-No! We didn''t!"


    " I swear! Baby, I am not cheating! It¡­It was an ident!"


    However, the police officers already looking at them.


    " Please,e to the station with us. You need to answer some questions."

 Chapter 154: Cai Family Gave Up?

    As Jia Hao opened his eyes, more than half of the day had passed. It was already evening there. So, Jia Hao simply changed his clothes and went to sleep.


    At this point, he didn''t care about Cai Yixue seeing him. She already knew a bit about his secret after all.


    After a while, he felt like someone came and slept beside him. However, Jia Hao didn''t mind and kept sleeping.


    But in the morning, he again twitched. He still dreamed about his face got crushed by two giant rabbits who lived on moon.


    As Jia Hao''s eyes opened, he looked around and saw Cia Yixue was sitting at the edge of her bed, adjusting her clothes.


    " Good morning, Wife."


    " En, You came backst evening and fell asleep." Cai Yixue spoke in a soft voice. " Maybe you were really tired."


    Jia Hao yawned, " You can say so. How did the talk with the vigers go?"


    " I told them that they don''t need to worry. I shall not let them face any sort of loss."Cia Yixue took a deep breath as she sighed.


    However, Her body suddenly shuddered as she felt Jia Hao touching her hair. He caressed her long hair, and his warm breath tickled her nape.


    She trembled slightly, feeling Jia Hao sitting so close behind her. However, a momentter, he pulled away.


    " Erm, Wife, What do you use to wash your hair?" Jia Hao spoke as he rubbed his nose.


    " My hair?" Cai Yixue paused. " I use the special hair concoction to wash my hair? It''s pretty famous among the nobles."


    '' The hair is certainly strong and full of vitality. However, the stench¡­It''s too¡­weird.''


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but smile wryly as he felt a bit awkward after smelling the hair of Cai Yixue. Sure, there are various rare herbs and techniques in Yun continent. However, it''s still an supernatural medieval world rather than a full fledge technological world or Immortal Cultivation World.


    The effect of the so called hair concoction might be good, but the after effects are very obvious. Smelly and rough hair is a serious issue.


    '' Interesting, Shampoo and soaps are luxury here. I need to get some shampoo from my world and sell here.''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao imagined Cai Yixue in a luxury bathtub, applying shampoo on her hair and foam on her delicate body.


    Cai Yixue sensed the disturbance in Jia Hao''s thoughts. " What sort of dirty things are y ou thinking in early morning?"


    " Di-Dirty?" Jia Hao was taken aback, not because of Cai Yixue''s usations, but for her uracy of grasping his thoughts.


    " Is it not?" Cai Yixue nced at him.


    " I mean, It depends on perspective." Jia Hao replied honestly.


    " Hmph, What a leecher." Cai Yixue mumbled as she got up, adjusting her hair.


    " Actually¡­" Jia Hao spoke after some moment. " I feel strange after sleeping here. Most of time, I feel like someone huggingme or suffocating me during my sleep."


    " Is-Is that so?" Cai Yixue''s tone had a slight tremble before she adjusted. " Why do you think so?"


    " I just don''t know¡­It feels suffocating, but also¡­pretty big, soft andfy¡­" Jia Hao frowned.


    " Hmph, Must be your imagination." Cai Yixue spoke as she walked out. " I shall ask Minmin to fetch mouth washing tea and water basin."


    Jia Hao didn''t understand Cai Yixue''s reaction. He thought that it was probably one of those ''women (coffee emoji)'' moments.


    As Minmin saw Cai Yixue''s flustered expression, she couldn''t help but sigh. " What happened, Miss?"


    " I¡­I did that again." Cai Yixue sighed.


    " Why don''t you just admit it to him?" Minmin couldn''t help but sigh. " Hugging him to sleep isn''t that¡­"


    " I can''t!" Cai Yixue protested. " It would be far too embarrassing. Besides, What if he thinks of me weirdly?"


    " If you don''t open up to him, What if that witch Xu Chen steals him away?" Minmin replied curtly.


    " Minmin, Are youing?"


    Jia Hao called her, making Minmin haste. Cai Yixue nced at Minmin who rushed to the bedroom with a sigh.


    Jia Hao saw Minmin entering his room. " Morning, Minmin."


    " Good morning, Young Master." Minmin smiled. " Please, Wash your face."


    Jia Hao nodded as he washed his face. " Anyway, Minmin, Call some trustworthy people. And, Help to gather some information."


    " Information? What sort of information? Minmin tilted her head. Jia Hao looked at her with a coy grin. " Well, For example, where all the silk of Silkward Chambers are stored?"


    " I heard it''s Niu Family." Minmin didn''t waste any time before answering Jia Hao. " Young Miss already gathered important information regarding the Silkward Chambers."


    " Very well." Jia Hao grinned. " Ask all the vigers to deposit the first batch of silk to us till this evening."


    " Are you sure?" Minmin was surprised. However, seeing Jia Hao''s resolute expression, she nodded.


    " Very well, I shall talk with Young Miss regarding this."


    " Also, Ask Uncle Yang toe with a few men." Jia Hao grinned. We need to prepare a gift for our enemies after all."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao got up leisurely as he finished his routine and walked to the garden. Looking at the sky, he couldn''t help but think how rich the air was herepared to Tianshu Nation.


    Taking out a dagger, he started to practice his Swift Dagger Arts. Since he learned that from the Pot of Miracles, he felt that the skill blended with him naturally.


    '' I killed quite some peoplest night. Yet, none of them dropped any skill cards like Yun Continent''s people. Is it because the humans in Azure Sea World is inherently weaker than Yun Continent''s people? Making them not dropping any card?''


    It wasn''t like no one in Azure Sea World could drop such cards. In fact, Li Tao dropped a card after Jia Hao killed him.


    But it was called [Evil Tendency] and its effect were to increase the evil thoughts in a person.


    '' Cultivating the Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts, I can''t afford to get any thing that will affect my mental state.''


    Thus, Jia Hao didn''t pick it that. He wondered if he would kill some more talented people, he might get better skill cards.


    As Cai Yixue heard from Minmin, she thought for a moment before agreeing.


    Soon, the vigers heard the news and hurried back to their vige to bring the first batch.


    " What? They agreed to our demands?"


    Shen Liang raised his brows as he heard the reports from his spies.


    " Heh, Looks like their tricks are finished."


    Lian Luoqiu frowned when she heard the rumors. " They gave in that easily? Something isn''t right¡­"


    " Check the goods properly before bringing them into the warehouse."


    " Also, double thebors and security in Niu Family. I don''t want anything to happen."


    " Yes, Young Miss."


    Lian Luoqiu looked at the sky and muttered.


    '' Have I finally won?''


    '' Cai Yixue, Oh Cai Yixue, I shall pin the final nail in Cai Family''s coffin.''

 Chapter 155: Ghost Flames

    " Move on! Move on!"


    " Bring all the goods here!"


    The vigers discussed with each other with enthusiasm. They were worried that the Cai Family would purchase their goods at the lowest possible price.


    However, They heard that the Cai Family would give them an amount of money that would be considered slightly lower than the market price.


    " It was truly foolish of me to doubt Magistrate Cai''s Family."


    " Indeed, the Cai Family never turned back on their words."


    " Long live Cai Family!"


    Some of the older men estimated and realized Cai Family gave out over four hundred thousand taels of gold and distributed it among the vigers.


    They were concerned as they knew Cai Family''s financial situation wasn''t much better. However, they were more happy to receive their money.


    But there are many who raised their doubts. After all, Cai Family only purchased a a fourth of the total products from them. If they were unable to sell the remaining ? products, it would be a terrible loss.


    " What if they don''t buy anymore?"


    " Why would they do that? They already assured us."


    " I doubt though." Someone exined. " We know it''s aplete losing deal for the Cai Family. Why would they suffer loss for us peasants?"


    " What if this is all they going to buy?"


    " Don''t jump to conclusion."


    " Yeah, the Cai Family is a noble military family. They are not like those greedy merchant bastards."


    Li Rou looked at the scene as she couldn''t help but sigh. " Haah, It''s really putting us in a tight ce."


    " Jia Hao helped us a lot." Cai Yixue nodded as she stood beside her. " He alone gave two hundred thousand taels of gold."


    " Interesting, Where did he hide so much gold?"


    " Who knows?" Cai Yixue mused." However, I have to admit. His expression was pretty ugly when he was giving the money."


    " All men are like this." Li Rouughed lightly. " However, It''s truly a blessing that he is willing to share your burden. He really cares about you."


    " He does¡­" Cai Yixue''s voice became a whisper. Li Rou shook her head, knowing that Cai Yixue feeling conflicted emotions.


    " But Yixue, is this really ok? I mean, What exactly the n is?"


    " It''s bizarre." Cai Yixue shook her head. " He only told me to enjoy the view in the night."


    " How strange¡­"


    Soon, the merchants of the Shen Family came and took away all the goods. They transported all the cotton and silk to the workshop of the Niu Family, where the threads of silk and cotton were woven.


    It''s more or less like a factory, with around a thousand people working all the time. As the goods reached there, Niu Chao looked at Shen Ming with a smile.


    " Haha, Elder Niu, It looks like the Cai Family finally admitted defeat."


    " Of course, did they have any other choices?" Niu Chaoughed with a snort. " Either, they have to appease the angry mob, or have to suffer loss after selling the goods to us."


    Shen Ming was the second young master of the Shen Family, who was currently overseeing the deal with the Cai Family.


    " However, It would be best to see the goods, no?" Shen Ming raised his concerns. " We can''t deny that Cai Family might plot something."


    " Why not? Let''s go and see them together." Niu Chao nodded as he brought Shen Ming with him.


    As they stood near the carts, Niu Chao signaled his servant. The servant nodded as he opened the crates, showing the row after rows of silk cocoons inside them.


    Casually picking some cocoons, they sliced it open.


    " See? Such a good quality of silk." Niu Chao couldn''t help but praise. " And, We already checked everything. All the crates are clean."


    " It''s just that¡­Why all of these are so moist?" Shen Ming pointed at it.


    " Eh? Now you say so¡­" Niu Chao rubbed his chin. " Ah, Perhaps to not let them catch fire? You know, these things are very mmable. A single spark can easily burn everything down."


    " Ah, You are right." Shen Ming also thought it was reasonable. After all, silk is the same as gold here. Why not take some precautions?


    " Haha, Young Master Ming, why note to our house?" Niu Chao smiled. " We can have some drinks."


    " After you, Elder Niu." Shen Ming smiled as he followed him.


    As soon as the goods arrived, all of them were washed out first. After washing them with special medicated water, all the cocoons and cotton flowers were sent to the warehouse to get dry.


    The process of silk weaving is pretty delicate and time-consuming. So the work happens in the shifts, with hundreds of them working in the daytime and others in the night.


    After passing the final inspection, the silk cocoons were stored in the warehouse along with the remaining ones.


    " Hah, They recruited over a hundred moreborers today."


    " Of course, Why wouldn''t they?" Another worker spoke. " Niu Family is going to earn a huge chunk of money after selling all this silk."


    " So, they are hiring workers to work faster and more efficiently."


    " Yawn, It''s kinda hot tonight, isn''t it?"


    " Yeah, I''m feeling a bit sweaty. Not to mention these vats here which are boiling the silk cocoons. They are giving off more heat."


    Using the boiling vats, the silkworm dies inside the cocoon, making it easier to extract the silk.


    However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.


    Thanks to the workflow and environment, the warehouse inside was very warm.


    Suddenly, a silk cocoon wriggled as wisps of smoke started toe out of it.


    Slowly, green mes appeared around it, burning down the cocoon. The green mes looked very eerie, like ghost mes of fairy tales.


    The ghost mes slowy spread as other cocoons also got caught by the green mes.


    With a loud explosion, the entire warehouse suddenly caught fire as the green mes swept across the silk cocoon."


    " Wh-What''s happening?"


    " Heavens! Smoke! Smoke ising from the warehouse!"


    " Hurry up and bring the water! It''s fire! IT''S FIRE!"


    " Fuck! What sort of me is that? Why is it greens!"


    " Ghost mes! These are ghost mes!"


    Cai Yixue looked at the night sky as she sat in her balcony. However, she suddenly looked around and saw Minmin rushing towards her.


    " Youn-Young Miss! Can you see there?"


    Minmin panted as she pointed at a distant direction. Cai Yixue felt like there is particr bright point there.


    " Yeah, What''s with that?"


    " That''s¡­Niu Family''s warehouse." Minmin spoke with an excited voice. " It''s burning."


    Cai Yixue''s mouth became wide as she looked at Minmin and again looked back at that direction.


    " Where is he?"


    " He¡­" Minmin pouted.


    " I heard he went to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion again."


    Meanwhile, In Phoenix Cloud Pavilion.


    Jia Hao''s expression was ugly as he saw sitting before a familiar young man.


    " We met again, Brother Jia."


    It was none other than Li Qing, the Crown Prince of Great Yan.


    '' Fuck my life.''

 Chapter 156: Its Just the Judgement of Heavens

    There was utter chaos in the warehouse of Niu Family. The workers ran here and there as they tried to put down the mes. But strange enough, the mes didn''t reduce at all.


    It was like water has no effect on the mes. The ghastly green mes kept burning and burning, devouring everything it touched.


    The entire stock of silk and cotton simply burnt into ashes due to the high intensity of the mes. And other than the warehouse, the fire started to creep toward the workshop too.


    " Damn it! What the hell are you bastards doing!?"


    " Water! Someone bring more water!"


    " It''s not working! The water can''t extinguish the mes!"


    " Ghost mes! These are ghost mes! Someone cursed Niu family!"


    The workers were dumbfounded as they ran here and there. Some of them even started to kowtow, pleading to the gods and ghosts to not harm them.


    The strange green mes raged with the wind current, making the mes spread faster. The howling of the wind and the green mes were like theughter of an invisible evil being, making everyone panic for their lives.


    So, Was it really ghost mes?


    Jia Hao sat in the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion leisurely as he enjoyed the wine. He came here in the early evening, quiet before the fire started in the Niu Family''s workshop.


    '' Haha, Sodium is quite a good material.''


    Originally, the legend of ghost mes or will o wisps originated from the phosphorus in the bones, which catches fire in the middle of the night due to its reactive nature.


    Sodium is also simr to phosphorous, but even more vtile. Jia Hao asked the person at Donghu Chemical Laboratory to prepare a specialpound.


    It mainly consists of sodium, which starts burning even when soaked in water. He asked the chemical expert to add some barium to make the me burn in bright green mes.


    Sodium is a soft metal, that can be cut with a knife like tofu. After mixing both items, they sliced the block into smaller seeds and coated them with a special type of chemical.


    The coating was temporary, which would wash away after being heated and dried for far too long.


    [ Super Buring Tablets: Small sodium capsules that will catch fire after their outer coat dissolves. Due to the barium, it will produce green mes. However, the effects are enhanced by five times thanks to some special enchantment, making ordinary water useless before such mes]


    Jia Hao was pleasantly surprised when he saw the things were enchanted, increasing the potency of the small tablets. After arriving here, he tasked Old Yang and a few loyal subordinates to slowly insert these small seed like tablets into the silk cocoons and cotton flowers.


    After doing that, they soaked them in the water before sending them to the Niu Family. After all, soaking them in the water won''t any suspicion as it was supposed to prevent them from catching fire.


    The process of unfurling the silk is the boil the silk cocoons. And after the special cocoons had boiled, the outeryer of the seeds slowly started to dissolve.


    And, when the cocoons were kept in the warehouse, the cocoons finally dried out, igniting the tablets inside them.


    As they were mes made from Special Sodium Tablets, no matter how much water the workers threw, the fire kept burning and burning.


    " HURRY AND INFORM THE LORD!"


    " SOMEONE CALL THEM!"


    .


    .


    Jia Hao grinned as he saw the beautiful courteseans dancing before him. Raising his cup of wine, he showed his appreciation.


    The reason why Jia Hao came to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion early due to create a perfect alibi. He knew that after this event, the three families wouldn''t sit silently.


    And if they started to suspect someone, Jia Hao would be the most abnormal.


    Therefore, by staying in the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, Jia Hao would be able to create a perfect alibi.


    '' Not to mention, A person needs to have a bit of enjoyment after victory, yeah?'' Jia Hao grinned as his finger traced the rim of the ss.


    He had to admit, the graceful figures of the courteseans in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion were truly exquisite. The gentle tune of music, their bodies moving ording to the tune, making sensual nces to the crowd.


    Jia Hao was more amused as he saw many people trying to talk with him. Even the courteseans and other women of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion couldn''t help but steal nces at Jia Hao.


    " Isn''t he the Son in Law of the Cai Family?"


    " He won thepetitionst night and was invited by Lady Xu into her boudoir."


    " Heavens, Is it true??"


    " I have to admit, his literary talent is top notch. Even Lei Qinzhu got defeated by him."


    " Wait, speaking of Lei Qinzhu, I heard he was missing. The Crimson Dagger Dojo has been trying to find him for a few days. But it seems like he vanishedpletely."


    " I wonder what''s happening."


    " Hehe, Young Noble Jia, Do you need anything else?"


    " Oh, A te of spicy beans, please." Jia Hao smiled at the courtesan fawning at him.


    " Young Master Jia is so talented. Are you not going topose any poems today?"


    " Well, I can certainly do." Jia Hao gave a smug grin. " However, Such a thing depends upon the chance encounter. After all, I would rather not create any poems than make a mediocre one."


    " Kyaah! Young Master Jia is such an upright person."


    " Young Noble Jia, Could you join me for a literary evening in my boudoir?"


    " Why you? I believe Young Noble Jia should pick me¡­"


    '' No matter what, Getting attention from beauties never feels bad.'' Jia Hao grinned.


    " Brother Jia is really enjoying his time here, Huh? I didn''t know you were already a famous schr here."


    Jia Hao''s expression froze as he turned around, looking at a familiar face.


    '' Fuck! What is he doing here?'' Jia Hao was rmed when he saw Li Qing and Zhou Yan.


    " Brother Li¡­I mean, Brother Qing¡­" Jia Hao almost blurted out Li Qing''s real name.


    " What a pleasant surprise. I didn''t expect to see you here." Jia Hao fawned over her.


    Li Qing smiled lightly." Me too, Brother Jia. Looks like the fate led us here."


    As they sat together, Jia Hao saw someone whispering something to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan''s expression changed as he hurriedly informed Li Qing.


    " What happened, Brother Qing?" Jia Hao raised his brows.


    " Just got a news." Qing Li ordered some light tea as he looked at Jia Hao with a calm smile. " The warehouse of Niu Family caught fire."


    " Oh? Really?" Jia Hao put on a surprised expression. " How is this possible?"


    " I don''t know." Li Qing shook his head. " But it looks like, You Cai Family benefited the most."


    " What are you trying to say, Brother Li?" Jia Hao smirked as he swirled the wine ss.


    " This is a judgment of heaven. How can a frail mortal like me could have hands in it?"

 Chapter 157: A Scholar Like a Smiling Tiger

    " Is that so?" Li Qing smiled. " Then Brother Jia must be a fortune of the heaven, sent to aid the Cai Family."


    " I am Cai Family''s live in son inw." Jia Hao grinned. " It''s obvious that I will support them."


    " But I doubt the Shen Family, Niu Family, and Silkward Chambers would sit and do nothing."


    " What are they going to do?" Jia Hao asked in an amused voice. " Come to Magistrate Cai and lodge aint? Or go to City Lord Suo to whine?"


    " Who are they going toin? What''s the cause of the fire? Who is the suspect?"


    " Even if His Majesty sends the Scaled Dragon Guards of Divine Martial Guards, I am not really concerned."


    Zhou Yan''s lips twitched as he wanted to say something. But he stopped and stood silently behind Li Qing.


    " How interesting, Brother Jia. I actually wonder something. Where are you from?"


    " Pardon me?"


    " I mean, A person like you, he must be pretty famous around here. But, You have no past records." Li Qing smiled.


    " What if I say I crossed nine mountains and seven seas, crossed the river of stars and the tower of heaven?" Jia Hao spoke with an amused tone.


    " Haha, Even while lying, Brother Jia lies with elegance." Li Qingughed lightly.


    " Well then, Should I not ask your origin, Brother Qing? I am sure you are no ordinary young master either." Jia Hao smirked, throwing Li Qing''s question at him.


    Li Qing was taken aback, seeing a cunning light in Jia Hao''s light.


    '' Does he know? I thought my disguise was perfect?'' Li Qing muttered in his heart. But like Jia Hao, he didn''t disclose his identity.


    " You can say I am someone close to the Imperial Family." Li Qing gave a vague reply.


    " Then, Do you know anything about Third Prince Li Yuan?"Jia Hao smiled.


    "Little Yuan? What''s about him?"


    " Interesting. You can call Third Prince like that. It looks like your standing in Imperial Family isn''t low at all."


    Li Qing almost choked as he couldn''t help butugh with embarrassment. Since he is the crown prince, it''s natural he would call his brothers like that.


    However, calling Li Yuan before Jia Hao is the same as giving away his identity.


    " So, What''s with him?"


    " Haha, He is actually eyeing on my wife and my sister inw. It was only because of his help, that Silkward Chamber weaved all these problems for us."


    " I¡­I see." Li Qing''s expression didn''t change, as if he knew about it somewhat.


    " So, My impression towards the Imperial Family isn''t much good, you see." Jia Hao''s smile didn''t falter. " So, I better not meet His Highness Third Prince. Otherwise, hehe¡­"


    " Taking him down is very hard." Li Yuan sighed. " He has his own strength along with the support of his mother''s family."


    " Hmph, Talking about an Imperial Prince like that. How bold you are." Zhou Yan looked at Jia Hao and snorted.


    " I am bold because I have the capacity to be bold, Mr. Zhou." Jia Hao smiled lightly. " I don''t wish to make enemies of the Imperial Family either. But it looks like the Imperial Family has started to see their loyal pirs as thorns and trying to uproot them."


    " After all, If that''s not the case, the Cai Family wouldn''t have fallen into this state."


    " It''s not the Cai Family, though." Li Qing tried to reason. " His Majesty is reducing the strength of all military families and condensing them into a central army."


    " Really? Are you sure?" Jia Hao retorted. " Brother Qing, I guess you aren''t seeing the consequences of this action, eh?"


    " What do you mean?"


    " Let''s say, The military family loyal to the Emperor got reduced." Jia Hao tapped on the table. " However, I believe not all the families are favorable towards His Majesty, Yes?"


    " So, when the loyalist''s power reduces, what if there is a sudden rebellion? Without any loyal partner, You think the Imperial Family will stay unharmed?"


    Li Qing''s gaze squinted when he heard that. " That''s not possible."


    " Who knows?" Jia Hao grinned. " Anyway, I am very dumb regarding the politics, so I shall notment."


    " However, there is a thing I wish to know." Jia Hao looked at Li Qing. " Is the Twisted Dark Forest as safe as everyone treating it?"


    " This¡­This is true though?" Li Qing tilted his head. " I mean, there are terrifying monsters there. But they nevere out from the core zone. So, It''s safe."


    " Most of the time, Yes."Zhou Yan finally spoke. " However, a monster tidees in once every 10-15 years. It creates a lot of havoc,"


    " But I don''t think any monster tide woulde before the next two or three years."


    '' Heh, Really? One ising in less than a month.'' Jia Hao snorted. But he got an idea of how the mastermind managed to pull the entire n around it.


    '' But, It''s fascinating how they managed to guess the timing of this abnormal monster tide.''


    '' Amusing, I have to pay attention to this.'' Jia Hao tapped on the table.


    " What happened, Brother Jia? You seem to be in deep thought."


    " Of course, I am indeed." Jia Hao chuckled. " As Mr. Zhou said, I can''t naturally rebel against the Imperial Family. But that doesn''t mean I can''t raise my sword against the enemies of Cai Family."


    " Hehe, Niu Family is the first. My next target is obviously Silkward Chambers."


    " Silkward Chamber is one of the biggest merchant units of the entire Nanhai City. And their influence is not smaller than arge-scale noble family at all." Li Qing was surprised.


    " Well, Not entirely against Silkward Chamber, but certainly against the Lian Family." Jia Hao smiled.


    " There is a particr woman whom I need to show something."


    Both Li Qing and Zhou Yan felt a chill when they saw Jia Hao''s amicable smile.


    No matter how harmless and schrly he looked, Both Li Qing and Zhou Yan felt Jia Hao was like a smiling tiger, full of deceit and malicious intent.


    " Anyway, I recently heard about something." Jia Hao smiled as he used his Sage''s Divination Eyes.


    " It''s about a Bright Snow Lotus¡­"


    Li Qing and Zhou Yan''s expressions changed when Jia Hao mentioned that.

 Chapter 158: Tragedy Of Noble Families

    " Haha, Young Master Shen, Please drink more."


    " Sure, Elder Niu."


    Shen Ming and Niu Chao drank happily. " We have to admit that the Luo Family really helped us a lot."


    " Indeed, It''s all thanks to Third Prince Li Yuan favoring Lian Luoqiu. They received an imperial decree to sell special yellow and ck dyed silk to the imperial family."


    " Indeed, Their new dye is getting popr. And even the imperial family wants it."


    Making new color dyes and patterns is absolutely vital for textile industries. After all, people wouldn''t like to wear the same things forever.


    There are also nobles, who wish to wear something that would show off their ss. They don''t want to look the same as all these working peasants below.


    If themoners and nobles wore the same things, it would cause anger among the noblemunities.


    The process of making dyes is also pretty troublesome. They have to invite some schrs with knowledge of various ores and herbs to test the materials.


    Then the new color dye is sampled on a piece of cloth, to see how the color looks on the clothes. Then, the color fading after washing is also tested.


    There are various herbs that are great dyes. However, the juices of those herbs could cause skin injuries. Only a schr alchemist from the high ranking institute would be able to see the process and effects of all thebinations of materials.


    Therefore, those with spiritual qi and alchemist professions are rare and usually venerated.


    " Tsk, It''s purely because the Lian Family got lucky this time." Shem Ming mumbled. " Now, they will pressure the remaining two families in the Silkward Chamber, increasing their influence."


    " However, All in all, With this, we will finally be able to stomp down the Cai Family."


    " Hmph, They dare to humiliate my Niu Family." Niu Chao snorted as he ced the cup on the table angrily. " They broke the engagement with our family."


    " Heh, You are talking like Cai Yixue was going to marry your son." Shen Ming chuckled. " Didn''t Prince Li Yuan showed interest in her?"


    " Well, That''s¡­Another matter." Niu Chao''s face flushed as he didn''t reveal much.


    He indeed thought of using Cai Yixue as a bargaining chip to deal with Prince Li Yuan.


    Even though she is a beauty, she couldn''t be worth more than the support of a prince.


    " But why should we worry?" Shen Mingughed. " The prince already nned to wipe out the Cai Family. All we need to do is to sap their military and financial strength."


    " Indeed, Nephew Shen spoke the truth." Niu Chaoughed. " This cup is for the destruction of Cai Family."


    " For the destruction of the Cai Family."


    As they were about to clink their cups, a servant rushed inside.


    " My Lord! My Lord! This¡­This a terrible news!"


    " These dumbwits." Niu Chao was half drunk as he snorted, ring at his servant. " What is the news? Can''t you see I am with a guest right now?"


    " Hehe, I also want to hear what is it." Shen Ming chuckled,


    " My-My Lord! The warehouse¡­The warehouse is on fire."


    " Yeah, So what¡­"


    Niu Chao snorted before he froze in the mid sentence. Shen Ming''s expression also froze when he heard that.


    " Wh-What did you say?"


    " THE SILK WAREHOUSE IS ON FIRE!"


    Shen Ming and Niu Chao''s bodies turned cold as the realization kicked in. The intoxication of alcohol vanished instantly as Niu Chao rushed and held the cor of that servant.


    " Motherfucker! Do you understand what you are saying?" Niu Chao''s eyes were red as he snarled.


    " Y-Yes My Lord. I am telling¡­the truth."


    " Fuck! FUCK!!"


    Shen Ming and Niu Chao took the horses and rushed to their warehouse. Niu Chao''s heart sank as he could see a pir of me from afar.


    " MOTHERFUCKERS! CAN''T THEY EXTIGUISH THE FLAMES?"


    Shen Ming and Niu Chao cursed as they finally reached the burning warehouse.


    The orange mes were burning high, like a sea of mes engulfing the entire warehouse, However, he also saw the patches of green mes, burning with an eerie aura.


    Niu Chao almost fainted when he saw the scene.


    "MY LORD!"


    His servants held the swaying body of Niu Chao. Meanwhile, Shen Ming kicked the workers who were kowtowing before the green mes.


    " Motherfuckers! What are you doing? WATER DOWN THE FIRE!"


    " Young master, We are trying!"


    " But these are ghost mes! They are not snuffing out with water!"


    Shen Ming was going to kick them again. However, he saw a servant rushing with a bucket of water.


    The water sshd over the green mes. But the mes didn''t extinguish at all, burning with the same eerie green color.


    '' Wh-What sort of sorcery is this?" Shen Ming was aghast. He heard people calling it ghost mes and curses. And now, he also started to believe it somewhat.


    '' Is it some demon or monster? Or some spiritual master took action?''


    '' No, If they take action, it will certainly cause amotion. It must be a demon! A demon in Nanhai City?!''


    " No¡­NONONONO!"


    Niu Chao wailed as he clutched his hair. " Someone! Someone extinguish the mes!"


    " No! My money! My silk! My goods!"


    Shen Ming also trembled as his face waspletely pale. He tried his best to control his body, or else he might cough a mouthful of blood.


    Niu Family pushed all their money into this gamble as they purchased the silk with the Shen Family and Silkward Chambers.


    Not to mention, the cost ofbor and warehouse, the cost of extrabor, and theborers working overtime, Niu Family was paying for everything.


    And now, along with the goods, the money also burning before him.


    Niu Chao could not help but cough a mouthful of blood before fainting.


    " My Lord!"


    Meanwhile¡­


    Lian Luoqiu sat in her room, ying the guqin elegantly. '' Next time, I will y this tune. I will make Li Yuan attracted to me, but I won''t give in.''


    '' Hey, fiddling with men, they are worth of that anyway.''


    However her tune became disarray as her maid opened the door in panic.


    " Young Miss! Something bad happened!"


    " What is it?"


    " Niu Family''s warehouse caught fire!"


    Lian Luoqiu''s expression changed when she heard that. " What!? Is it true?"


    " Yes, Young Miss!"


    " What''s about the goods!" Lian Luoqiu hurriedly asked. " The batch of silk we had¡­"


    " Everything, Everything was transported to the Niu Family''s warehouse this afternoon." The maid spoke in a bitter voice.


    *STRING!*


    Lian Luoqiu winced in pain as she looked at her finger. Her finger was bleeding, cut by the guqin wires.


    " How¡­How is this possible¡­"


    Lian Luoqiu''s lips trembled and her eyes were like breathing fire.


    " HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!"


    She threw the guqin to the floor, breaking it entirely.

 Chapter 159: Lian Luoqiu Can Wait

    Next morning.


    Many people saw a peculiar scene outside the courtyard of Cai Yixue.


    Jia Hao was kneeling outside.


    " Wife, Believe me, I didn''t do that on purpose."


    " Stay outside and repent."


    A servant couldn''t help but find the scene funny.


    " Hey, What happened? Why Son in Law Jia is kneeling outside?"


    " Apparently, he went to Phoenix Cloud Pavilionst night."


    "Oooh, I see. Looks like youngdy is jealous."


    " Speaking from which, Did you hear about the Niu Family?"


    " My goodness! Yes, I have heard! I can''t believe it!"


    " They said green mes rose with the sound of howling ghosts."


    " The green ghost mes were real. They couldn''t even put down those mes with water at all."


    " I heard the entire warehouse of Niu Family burned to ashes. Nothing is remaining."


    " Hiss, Doesn''t that mean the Shen Family, Niu Family, and Silkward Chamber lost all of their goods?"


    The news about the Niu Family''s tragedy spread like wildfire. And the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became.


    Some even imed to see various strange monsters rising from the green mes while others spected some evil spiritual master doing it.


    Many people spected that it was probably done by theCai Family. But there was no evidence at all.


    It''s like an open secret, yet no one would agree to it as there was no evidence or way to prove it.


    After an hour of kneeling, the door finally opened and Minmin stood before Jia Hao. " Young Master, pleasee inside."


    Jia Hao patted his knees as he got up and hurried inside. " Dear, How could you do this to your husband? I thought I told you to¡­"


    " I know¡­" Cai Yixue was sitting beside a table, sipping tea elegantly.


    " I know that you went to Phoenix Cloud Pavilion to create an alibi."


    " But, That doesn''t mean I can''t be angry."


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that. '' Why do the women around me get so jealous out of nowhere?''


    " Did you sleep with Xu Chen?"


    " As I promised, No." Jia Hao shook his head. Minmin couldn''t help but mutter. " Only a ghost would believe you."


    " Hey, I told you that, I am not going to sleep with Xu Chen, no?" Jia Hao chided. " If you are suspicious, you can go and ask her."


    " You¡­You didn''t have to actually¡­follow your promise." Cai Yixue spoke in a faint voice before looking away.


    Jia Hao was dumbfounded. " Well, Wife¡­I understand what you mean. But¡­ As I said, I am a man of my promise."


    " Besides, We chatted and exchanged pointers. So, I won''t say it wasn''t fun in its own way."


    It was because she and Jia Hao actually had a friendly spar in the courtyard. Jia Hao was amazed when she fought with Xu Chen.


    The match ended with a tie. But Jia Hao knew that the chances of Xu Chen winning were even greater.


    And he also realized the innate ability of blue internal qi, The defenses of Xu Chen were very strong as she protected herself against Jia Hao''s fists.


    Cai Yixue bit her lips as she couldn''t help but feel a sting of jealousy in her chest.


    " But I have to admit. I never thought you would do such a thing. It''s simply¡­miraculous." Cai Yixue sighed as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Those small things actually managed to create ghost fire? Are you an alchemist?"


    " Hehe, Not really. But a friend of mine is¡­" Jia Hao chuckled.Modern equipment of Azure Sea World can easily synthesize various chemicals easily.


    " But, Are there really alchemists here?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask in a curious voice. " Can they make various medicinal pills? Or elixir of immortality?"


    " Immortality? You sure think big." Cai Yixue smiled ruefully. " However, The profession of alchemists is very profitable indeed."


    " Primarily, they need to reach the stage of Profound Awakening Realm and have to wake up their spiritual qi. Only then, they would be able to perceive the changes inside a closed cauldron."


    " They also had to study a lot, lot books and scriptures about various medicinal herbs, ores, and other things, theirbination and effects."


    " And finally, they have to get a certificate from a prestigious institute and only then they would be called an alchemist."


    " Can''t a normal martial artist can''t be a spiritual master?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " Of course, they can. But the chances are very low." Cai Yixue spoke. " However, if you manage to use both spiritual qi and internal qi, you will gain an immense advantage over the overall situation."


    " Spiritual qi is also used in various other professions, like Talisman crafting, Array Formations, Feng shui and Geomancy etc."


    " I heard that martial artists with dark violet internal qi have a better chance to awaken the spiritual qi. However, progress in spiritual qi isn''t guaranteed.


    " Alright, cing it aside, What are we going to do now?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao.


    " What are we supposed to do?" Jia Hao grins. " Should we not treat them how they treated us?"


    " Now all of their goods vanished, the most silk in Nanhai City¡­or perhaps the entire Western Province is in our hands."


    He leaned back as he looked at the sky. " Let''s just wait and watch the show."


    Cai Yixue smiled when she saw the nonchnt attitude of Jia Hao.


    '' He always appears to be carefree. However, he also cares about the Cai Family, doing his best to prevent any disaster upon us.''


    " You must be hungry, right?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " Minmin, serve the breakfast to him."


    Jia Hao was surprised as he saw the tes before him. " Fried chicken with fresh sd, stir fried noodles with shrimp and beef cuts?"


    " Mhmhm, Oh wow!" Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled. " This is¡­so fucking delicious!"


    " Chef Liang studied your recipe and finally confident in his ability. So, he came in the morning to prepare breakfast as a demonstration."


    " Hahaha! Good, I like it." Jia Hao couldn''t help but eat hurriedly.


    The ingredients are fresh and natural, unlike chemical infused things of Azure Sea World. Therefore, with modern sauces, the vors were even better.


    '' Not to mention, every ingredient here has a natural aura of heaven and earth, not three kilograms of dust, pollution, and microstics.''


    " Young Lady Cai, Miss Lian from Silkward Chamber wishes to see you."


    Cai Yixue''s lips curled as she waved her hands.


    " Tell her to wait. I am apanying my husband for breakfast."


    Jia Hao''s heart couldn''t help but be warm when he heard that. With both of them smiling at each other, they continued their leisurely breakfast.

 Chapter 160: Angry Lian Luoqiu

    Lian Luoqiu clenched her teeth as she sat for half an hour without being able to meet Cai Yixue. Not to mention, no one even asked her for a cup of water.


    '' That bitch¡­She is doing this purposely.'' Lian Luoqiu bit her lips as she tried to calm down herself.


    Suddenly, the door opened as Cai Yixue walked out. She wore a white dress with blue dove patterns on the ridges, With her white hairpin and stoic calmness, she was like a white lotus emerging from a clear pond.


    " I hope I didn''t take much time." Cai Yixue spoke with a light smile. " In fact, My husband and I were having breakfast and our usual morning romance."


    " You know, marriage has its own¡­responsibility. But then, you might not know."


    " Hoho, How could I?" Lian Luoqiu gave a forced smile. " Miss Cai must have already tasted the pleasure of martial bed. Unlike you, I am still a young bud of flower, waiting for bloom."


    " But, I guess your husband is pretty romantic, visiting Phoenix Cloud Pavilion now and then."


    Cai Yixue''s face twitched when she saw the smug look on Lian Luoqiu''s lips.


    '' This bitch, she knows I didn''t sleep with Jia Hao yet?''


    '' How could I know? Cai Yixue is like a cold block of ice. She will nevery with a man.'' Lian Luoqiu snorted inwardly.


    " So, Miss Lian, Howe you are here, in such early morning?" Cai Yixue spoke before her eyebrows jumped up. " Ah, Could it be regarding the fire incident in Niu Family''s warehouse?"


    " Well, It looks like Miss Cai is very well informed." Lian Luoqiu''sface twitched. " And yes, The silk the three parties had gathered has¡­burnt in the fire."


    " How awful. My condolences." Cai Yixue spoke with a mild voice. " So, What can I do for you?"


    " How about¡­Selling the remaining silk cocoons and cotton to us?" Lian Luoqiu spoke with a smile. " Since we have a shortage of silk, we shall pay you the usual market value of the remaining goods."


    " Oh my, Is that true?" Cai Yixue was surprised.


    " Indeed, We are also going to pay you an extra 10% of the total profit." Lian Luoqiu exined. " So, in the end, Cai Family would profit in the end."


    " So, from loss to profit, huh?" Cai Yixue sighed. " Unfortunately, we don''t have much stocks remaining. So, We have to negotiate on the price."


    " Miss Cai, the initial price we gave was 100 taels of gold per three liangs of silk. And now, we are giving the usual 400 taels of gold."


    " But we don''t want it." Cai Yixue looked at her. " The new price is, A thousand taels of gold per three liangs of silk."


    " WHAT!?"


    Lian Luoqiu was rmed when she heard that. " Cai Yixue, Have you gone mad? Do you understand how much are you asking for?!"


    " Currently, Silkward Chamber has no silk to give to the imperial family. Even if the Shen Family and Niu Family pull all their resources, they won''t be able to gather enough silk." Cai Yixue spoke calmly.


    " So, Lian Luoqiu, the Cai Family is the only one who has enough silk cocoon for your business. Take it, or leave,"


    " Yo-You dare to threaten me?" Lian Luoqiu hissed. " Perhaps you don''t know, but I have received the grace of the Third Prince Li Yuan."


    " You sure don''t want me to pull strings for an imperial investigation, no?"


    " Gold is never afraid of fire, Lian Luoqiu." Cai Yixue smiled. " Nor a righteous man is afraid of investigation."


    " You are thinking of putting the charges of arson on our Cai Family?" Cai Yixue chuckled. " The Court of Magistrate is open. All you need to do is to lodge aint and show evidence."


    " Magistrate Cai is very impartial."


    Lian Luoqiu almost burst with anger when she heard that. However, thinking about something, she looked at Cai Yixue.


    " I want to talk with him."


    " Talk with who?"


    " The one behind everything." Lian Luoqiu spoke with a deep voice. " Your husband."


    " He has a proper name, Luoqiu."


    " I¡­I want to meet Son in Law Jia." Lian Luoqiu gritted her teeth and spoke.


    " Very well, I shall call him." Cai Yixue got up and left. After a while, Jia Hao entered the hall.


    Lian Luoqiu''s expression changed instantly as she wore a sultry smile, cupping her fist and bowing.


    " Greetings, Young Lord Jia, This humbledy is from Silkward Chmabers. I believe you already know the reason for mying."


    Jia Hao raised his brows when he saw Lian Luoqiu. She wore an explosive red dress without any sleeves. The slit of her qipao gave an ample look to her slender legs and plump thighs.


    Not to mention, as she bowed, the cleavage gave a nice view of her dark ravine.


    '' Damn, Did shee here to seduce me or what?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort.


    Seeing Jia Hao''s gaze, Lian Luoqiu''s lips curled up. '' Hmph, I knew it.''


    " Young Lord Jia, Our Silkward Chamber is in quite a predicament. You already know about our loss. So, We are thinking of buying your silk with five hundred taels¡­"


    " Minmin!"


    Jia Hao shouted, cutting off Lian Luoqiu. Minmin arrived as she bowed. " Yes, Young Lord?"


    " Where is your manners?" Jia Hao scolded her. " A guest is sitting here, and you didn''t bring any tea?"


    " I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall go and fetch some tea." Minmin bowed as she hurried to bring back some tea.


    Lian Luoqiu felt a bit awkward when Jia Hao cut his sentence. " Thank you for the consideration, Young Lord Jia."


    " So, How much price are you giving?"


    " I think it''s¡­Six hundred taels¡­Yes. Six hundred taels per three liang¡­"


    At that moment, Minmin brought tea and ced it on the table.


    " So, Young Lord Jia, Six hundred taels¡­"


    " Minmin!" Jia Hao shouted again. " You only brought tea? Where are the snacks?"


    " I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall bring them right away¡­"


    Lian Luoqiu''s heart turned cold as she looked at Jia Hao with a cold gaze.


    " So, Miss Lian, you were saying¡­"


    " I was saying, What''s the price you want?"


    " Uhm, Let me guess." Jia Hao thought for a moment before smiling. " How about a thousand taels of gold per three liang of silk?"

 Chapter 161: Failed Negotiations

    " Yo-You!" Lian Luoqiu was thoroughly angered. " You were ying with me till now?"


    " Was I?" Jia Hao shook his head. " It was you who was trying to negotiate, Miss Lian. My price was fixed at thousand taels of gold from the start."


    " I am confused. I thought Cai Yuxie told you that."


    Lian Luoqiu trembled from the anger, but she kept her calmness. " Young Lord Jia, One must not bite more than one can chew."


    " Miss Lian, Beggars can''t be choosers." Jia Hao replied with a smile. " If you don''t buy from us, It''s fine. We were going to have a loss anyway."


    " But the thing is¡­What about you? Can you take the loss?"


    " Not to mention, You think I don''t know? That the thousand taels of gold per three liang is still profitable for you?" Jia Hao grinned. " Come on, even I know basic arithmetics."


    " So, I won''t chat for long. Thousand taels of gold per three liang of silk. And on top of that, 70% loan write off of current year''s interest."


    " What?!"


    Lian Luoqiu was stunned. " Impossible! A thousand tael of gold is still manageable. But loan write off for this year?"


    "It''s also manageable. As for how to do it, I shall leave it to you.'' Jia Hao spoke nonchntly.


    " Young Lord Jia, You are virtuous as the sun and a wise schr. Shouldn''t you give ady some leeway?" Lian Luoqiu spoke in a low voice, trying to please Jia Hao.


    " Oh? I thought I was an impotent man and couldn''tpared with Third Prince Li Yuan?" Jia Hao replied with a smile. But that smile was like dagger stabs.


    Lian Luoqiu''s face turned stiff. " Young Lord Jia, That was just a harmless joke."


    " I am also making a harmless deal here."


    " Young Lord Jia, Let me be honest." Lian Luoqiu looked at Jia Hao. " You are a live in son inw who married to into Cai Family to be the shield of Cai Yixue."


    " You are just a shield, and nothing else. Why are you going so much length for them?"


    " Cai Yixue never fulfilled her duty as a virtuous wife."


    " How did you know that?" Jia Hao was amused.


    " Otherwise, You wouldn''t have slept with Xu Chen."


    " Oh, Looks like Miss Lian is keeping tabs on me?"


    " That''s not the matter." Lian Luoqiu looked at Jia Hao. " Cai Family is already on theirst leg. Even if Patriarch Cai became the magistrate, it was nothing before the power of the Imperial Family."


    " And the current Imperial Family is not favorable towards the Cai Family."


    " I don''t care about the Imperial Family, you see?" Jia Hao smiled. " Let me ask you something."


    " Who has more power? The Imperial Family of Great Yan? Or¡­The Emperor himself?"


    " So, just because a few people in power don''t like the Cai Family, doesn''t mean they are doomed."


    " You are making a big mistake, Young Lord." Lian Luoqiu''s voice waspletely cid.


    " One should only pick the side of the winners. And believe me, Cai Family is doomed sooner orter."


    " People might be going for the winners, Miss Lian. But I am someone who makes people winners." Jia Hao smiled.


    " And believe me, Since I am standing with the Cai Family, I am not going to let it lose."


    " Very well." Lian Luoqiu smiled coldly as she got up. " It would be tragic to see the death of a young schr, Young Lord."


    " I believe you have finalized the deal?" Jia Hao smiled. " Thankfully, I have brought a pair of Imperial Contracts with me. Let''s sign right now."


    Lian Luoqiu''s body trembled as she signed the contract. She felt like her heart was bleeding. After all, not only she is giving three times of profit to the Cai Family, but she is also forced to reduce the yearly interest amount of their loan.


    '' Good! Very good! Enjoy what you can. Soon enough, I shallugh on the ruins of the Cai Family.''


    '' And you, Jia Hao¡­ I will personally see you off.''


    Everything was going well. There wasn''t a single thing wrong, and Cai Family was going all downhill.


    However, the moment Cai Yixue married a random mortal schr, everything seemed to change. The Cai Family was on the sudden rise, and the methods of the Cai Family changed drastically.


    Lian Luoqiu knew it was none other than Jia Hao. However, she simply couldn''t understand how he managed to do that.


    '' Ghost mes? Curses? All of them are bullshit. We just need to get the evidence, and Cai Family will be finished.


    " Then, I shall be leaving."


    " I won''t see you off, Miss Lian."


    " Hmph!"


    Lian Luoqiu got up as she left with a cold face. '' Take! Take as much as money you want! In the end, It will return back to us,''


    '' Jia Hao, Cai Yixue, you shall regret!''


    After Lian Luoqiu left, Cai Yixue entered the room. " She was very pissed."


    " I would be surprised if she wasn''t." Jia Haoughed wryly. " But Wife, Why does that girl hate you so much?"


    " Haah, How can I say?" Cai Yixue sighed as she took a seat.


    " Lian Luoqiu was someone whom I grew up with. In terms of beauty, talents, etiquette and intelligence, we always tried to best each other."


    " She is an ambitious woman. And, I adire her for this. Her circumstances are something whichpels her to be ambitious.


    " It happened three years ago. We were in the capital, attending an imperial banquet. The Third Prince Li Yuan saw me, who caught his eyes."


    " Lian Luoqiu always admired Li Yuan. When she saw Li Yuan trying to court me, she couldn''t help but be jealous. To attract Li Yuan''s attention, she tried to humiliate me."


    " However, It quickly backfired on her." Cai Yixue sighed.


    " Prince Li Yuan thought that Lian Luoqiu was my enemy. So, if he harms her, I would be pleased and go out with him."


    " And, he did something which made Lian Luoqiu humiliated before everyone else."


    " What an obsessive woman." Jia Hao couldn''t help but mutter. " And that bastard Li Yuan, I doubt he is anyone but a good person."


    " He isn''t." Cai Yixue shook her head. " However, After the Crown Prince, Li Yuan is the strongest prince who holds military power to defend grassy prairies."


    " Again, struggles of the imperial family, eh?" Jia Hao became amused.


    " You don''t need to be worried, Wife. I will handle everything."


    " For now, Call all the vigers and tell them that we are going to give them 20% more of the initial price."


    " Other than that,our food shops also going to open tomorrow. Ask the vigers to spread the word."


    Jia Hao talked to Cai Yixue about the future n. Cai Yixue nodded as she understood everything. She got up and left, as she had tons of work to do.


    However, a setence of Lian Luoqiu still stung in her heart.


    '' Am I¡­ I can''t give marital happiness to him?''

 Chapter 162: Li Rous Winning

    When the news spread, the vigers couldn''t help but dance in joy. This time, The Cai Family decided to purchase all the remaining silk at once.


    They couldn''t help but rush back to their vige and bring all the stocks they had. In the evening, the merchants from Silkward Chambers arrived and purchased all the goods ording to the contract.


    Also, They delivered the reduced loan interest rate to the Cai Family, which Jia Hao insisted to be paid immediately.


    One may point to various advantages of getting a loan. But in Jia Hao''s perspective, getting a loan is the same as buying trouble. One should rather not eat a day than borrow a loan to eat delicacies.


    " The City Lord''s guards came to lodge aint regarding the fire incident. However, There was no proof of anyone''s involvement." Cai Yunhai replied.


    " Don''t worry, Father in Law. You can do a proper investigation. I mean, It wasn''t like I did it." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " But how did you do it?"


    " I didn''t, Magistrate Cai. How could I know?"


    Cai Yunhai''s lips twitched when he heard that. Li Rou chuckled. " My, my, my son-inw got quite a ck heart."


    " But anyway, How much do we get after paying the interest and giving the proper money to the farmers?"


    " Mother in Law, What do you think?" Jia Hao smirked.


    " If we get 500,000 taels of gold after all these, it would be a good profit." Cai Yunhai muttered.


    " Father in Law, Aren''t you thinking too low?" Jia Hao chuckled. " After everything, the Cai Family gained 1.5 million taels of gold."


    " WHAT?"


    Li Rou and Cai Yunhai were shocked when they heard that. " Are you telling the truth?" Li Rou hurriedly asked.


    " Mother in Law, Did I ever lie to you?" Jia Hao pouted. " It would be bad to not take advantage of them after their stocks burned, right?"


    " Did you calcte the loan interest to Silkward Chambers and¡­"


    " Father in Law, I calcted everything. If you don''t believe, you can check the crates of gold boats and gold bills sent by the Silkward Chambers."


    " My goodness, I feel¡­"


    Although Cai Yunhai was a tough man, even he couldn''t help but rub his temples to calm down his excitement.


    "Hehe, Husband, It looks like I won the bet." Li Rou gave a coy smile. Cai Yunhai''s expression flinched when he heard that.


    " Bet?" Jia Hao was confused.


    " Well, We made a bet about the profit. Husband said it won''t cross 500,000 taels of gold while I said It will be around a million taels of gold."


    " And, The loser has to obey the winner for a night¡­Uhm, I mean, for a day."


    Jia Hao raised his eyebrows as he looked at the triumphant smile on Li Rou''s face and a light blush on Cai Yunhai''s face.


    '' The heck? What did they bet?''


    " Anyway, Mother in Law, I wish to discuss something with you."


    " Yes, Hao''er?"


    "'' Now Niu Family is good as dead, All we need to do is to fan the mes. No matter what, We should crush our enemies the moment we get the chance."


    "You are right. I shall see about it." Li Rou nodded. " I heard you are opening the restaurants tomorrow?"


    " Yes, Mother in Law."


    " Take some guards with you and disguise them as employees. You know, there might be some trouble in the restaurants,


    " Mother in Law is wise." Jia Hao smiled. " Well then, Mother in Law, I shall take my leave."


    As he left, Cai Yunhai sat on his chair with a sigh. " Damn it, To think we will earn so much money like that."


    " Not to mention, even after sending so many guards and interrogating everyone, no one knew the cause of the ghost fire."


    " Isn''t that better?" Li Rou retorted. " I don''t want my precious Son in Law to go to jail."


    " But, Don''t you want to know how he did that?" Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but urge. City Lord even called outa spiritual master to test the site."


    " There was no demonic qi or spiritual qi in that area. So, it being caused by a demon or taoist technique can be ruled out. So, it''s aplete mystery."


    " Yunhai, It looks like you are getting senile." Li Rou finally snapped out. " Just leave it! Why do you care so much?"


    " I¡­"


    " Also, Don''t forget I won the bet today." Li Rou poked her finger on Cai Yunhai''s chest.


    " So, Tonight, I will be on top."


    " Shush! Woman!" Cai Yunhai flushed as he looked around. " What if someone hears us."


    " So what?" Li Rou snorted. " I am the Lady of Cai Family. Who dares to talk above me?"


    No one would believe that General Cai Yunhai, who used to be a terrifying emissary of death for his enemies on the battlefield, was so meek before his wife.


    Women are truly scary creatures after all.


    Cai Yixue was busy handling all the business.


    '' Uhm, I am not selfish, but I just can''t work that much.'' Jia Hao rubbed under his nose as he saw how busy Cai Yixue was.


    However, she was working withplete enthusiasm. Jia Hao felt like his wife could handle anything.


    '' Not to mention, I have some other work to do too.''


    The entire city was bustling with gossip. The rumors regarding the Niu Family''s fire incident caused chaos among the citizens.


    There were far too many people who saw the ghost mes soaring. So, no one dared to dismiss it as some hoax.


    The workers of the Niu Family already left. Most of them left because there was no work to do. And Niu Family certainly won''t pay their daily wages.


    And other servants left because a rumor started to spread. The Niu Family offended the gods and ghosts and their family is cursed. Otherwise, how could such an event happen out of nowhere?


    However, Cai Yixue used this chance and recruited all those workers.


    First of all, Although the Niu Family is a noble family, due to a tight budget in earlier days, they had to reduce the number of servants.


    Secondly, Jia Hao proposed that rather than selling the raw materials, it would be better to use them to produce goods and sell them at higher prices.


    The workers of the Cai Family are excelling in textile work. So, Cai Yixue is gathering them as normal servants. In the future, if the Cai Family starts a textile business, these servants could be used as workers too.


    Everything bes easier once you have money after all,


    Various forces in the city were rmed when they saw the incident. All of them thought that the Cai Family would be in big trouble this time.


    However, with a single move, all of the Cai Family''s enemies are crippled instantly. Silkward Chamber and Shen Family had the least amount of loss.


    However, the Niu Family lost both their money and the factory. Without it, their family almost fell into an ordinary household.


    It was bad for them, But the Shen Family and Silkward Chamber used it as an opportunity.

 Chapter 163: Preparing The Spring Wine

    Slowly, in the name of helping the Niu Family, they purchase all of their assets at a low price. They promised that after the defeat of the Cai Family, The Niu Family would get its share.


    Niu Chao was lying on the bed as he suffered some serious internal injuries. And in his absence, the Niu Family was slowly going to the mouth of destruction.


    Meanwhile, there was another rumor spreading across the market.


    " What? The Cai Family is opening a restaurant?"


    " And, One can have two servings for free?"


    " Ridiculous! Isn''t that the same as throwing away money?"


    Everyone felt like it was a scam. However, the Cai Family''s reputation was simply unshakable in Nanhai City.


    Therefore, many people were interested in the event. Who would reject free food anyway?


    Jia Hao was sitting outside his room as he looked at the big vats of rice wine before him.


    Cai Yixue and Minmin looked at him curiously as they saw Jia Hao inspecting the wine.


    " Young Lord, Don''t tell me you are going to drink everything alone?" Minmin shuddered.


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. " Nope, I am just thinking that all these vats of wine aren''t suitable for our customers."


    " But this is the best wine in an affordable price range." Cai Yixue replied. " We don''t have our own specialized wine. So, We have to use them as side drinks."


    " It''s not like the special wines you brought for my father. We can''t serve such quality of wine to our customers."


    " Why?" Jia Hao''s lips curled as he thought of something. " Why do you think so?"


    " Because, Isn''t your wine precious? The taste, the texture, the color, everything was top notch. The production of such wine must be very low and they must be fermented for a longer period of time."


    " So, How can ordinary people could afford it?"


    " Hehe, Wife, You are certainly right." Jia Hao grinned. " However, That doesn''t mean I can''t make these ordinary wines a bit more vorful."


    " What do you mean by that?"


    " Well, It''s already night. So, You should better go and sleep." Jia Hao walked towards Cai Yixue with a smile.


    " You worked too much, Wife."


    " I¡­ I can still handle it."


    " Minmin, Take your young miss to the bedroom. And make sure to massage her feet and shoulders." Jia Hao didn''t listen to Cai Yixue''s words.


    " Yes, Young Lord!"


    Minmin''s eyes sparkled as she dragged Cai Yixue away. " Young Miss, Let''s go."


    " Minmin, Are you my servant or his?" Cai Yixue couldn''t help but huff.


    " Didn''t Young Lord sayst time? After you married, I became his property." Minmin stuck out her tongue.


    " Hmph, Then why don''t you be his concubine?"


    " I¡­ I didn''t mean that, Young Miss." Minmin pouted.


    Jia Hao stood there as he took a deep breath. He waved his hands as a small bronze pot appeared in his hands.


    '' Not bad, After restoring the firstyerpletely, it looks better¡­At least physically.''


    He yed with the Pot of Miracles and looked at the Miracle Points he has currently.


    '' Huh? I have 1500 points right now, huh?''


    Jia Hao was amused as looked at the Enchantment option of the Pot of Miracles.


    Although there are many greyed out areas, four specific wines were unlocked. All of them were the wine he bought from Azure Sea World and enchanted.


    '' I can''t make any wine which requires whisky and moutai. However, this wine¡­It costs less and the ingredients are just right.''


    [ Spring Wine: Fresh Water Spring+Wine+ Three Refreshing Herbs+Fruits+50 Miracle Points]


    '' I really want to see how it happens.''


    Jia Hao put a vat in his Pot of Miracles and added all these things inside. The moment he clicked on it, 50 Miracle Points disappeared.


    The vat of wine shone with a dim light before returning to normal. Jia Hao took it out and could smell the fragrance of a refreshing wine.


    '' This is much better than those yellow rice wines. Not to mention, with the Pot of Miracles, I can mass produce it.''


    With a wide grin, Jia Hao started to enchant all the ordinary wines into Spring Wines.


    He spent around 500 Miracle Points to convert ten big vats of Spring Wine.


    Of course, Jia Hao tried to use a small loophole. What if instead of spending 500 Points on ten big vats, he can use 50 points to enchant a singlerger vat worth ten vats?


    However, there is some sort of quantity limiter in Pot of Miracles. So, He can''t use this loophole to enchant more using less price.


    Nheless, As long as he can gain Miracle Points from killing and other things, it would be enough for all the expenditure. '' However,I should start hunting in the Twisted Dark Forest soon. Because I need a huge amount of energy and blood qi to restore the Pot of Miracles.''


    '' Anyway, WIth this, All the preparation is finished. Hehe, People of Nanhai City will sure get a pleasant surprise tomorrow.''


    The eastern sky is tinted with red, marking the arrival of dawn. As the sunpletely rose above the eastern horizon, the Nanahi City started to be crowded once again.


    " Wee to Tianxiang Pavilion!"


    " For all the customers, any first three dishes shall bepletely free. Along with that, you can have three cups of our special Spring Wine for free!"


    " Come and taste our delicacies. We can guarantee that you won''t find such dishes anywhere!"


    Many people were intrigued when they saw the new restaurant. Although it was smaller than the Yuxing Tower, the restaurant was decorated well.


    " Tianxiang Pavilion? Is this the new restaurant of the Cai Family?"


    " Three servings for free? So they weren''t bluffing?"


    " Look, They even have a menu outside!"


    " What are these dishes?"


    " Crispy Fried Chicken, Saucy Egg Fried Rice, Stir Fried Noodles with Herbal Soup, Bowl of Heaven¡­What are these dishes."


    " Such fancy names, but their price¡­"


    " Holy shit! Even the cheapest dish starts with thirty taels of gold?"


    " Bah, Who cares? They said they would give three servings for free, right? Just order the most expensive dish."


    " Haha! I am just going for the three cups of wine anyway!"


    " Let''s go and see."


    There were quite a lot of people interested in Tianxiang Pavilion. Along with dishes, the new wine attracted most people''s attention.


    So, the moment the restaurant opened, a lot of people went inside.

 Chapter 164: Tianxiang Pavilion

    There were a lot of people who were skeptical about these new dishes. Since most of them heard that the first three servings would be free, they directly ordered the three servings of the most expensive dish.


    " Huh? What''s this bowl?"


    " Mmhm, The aroma¡­I am already salivating."


    " Let''s have a taste then."


    It was a bowl of tonkatsu noodles, topped with fried chicken and egg with beef bone broth. The noodles were thick and mellow and the spice was just right.


    The moment they took a bite, both men became stunned.


    " This¡­This is!!"


    " Holy fuck! This is so¡­Tasty!"


    " And this¡­this is chicken? How is it so crispy?"


    " Eat! Hurry up and eat it!"


    They couldn''t able to stop themselves as they devoured the bowl quickly.


    " I saw the value of each bowl is around three hundred taels of gold?"


    " Ungh! It''s fucking worth it! I have never tasted such a dish in my life!"


    " Yeah! Even Yuxing Tower doesn''t have such vors."


    Soon enough, a table of two devoured four bowls of tonkatsu noodles. It was so fulfilling that they couldn''t order another bowl.


    " Ugh, Forget it, We already ate a lot."


    " Hah! Let''s order wine then!"


    " Oh, how could I forget? Yeah, Let''s have some wine!"


    Soon enough, they ordered the Spring Wine. Both men were speechless when they saw such small cups.


    " Erm¡­They are giving pretty less though?"


    " But look at it, It looks so clear."


    " They didn''t gave us water, right?"


    The moment they took a sip, both of their eyes turned wide.


    " HUUHHHH!"


    " HOLY!"


    They almost coughed out. However, instead of taking a breath, they chose to gulp down the whole cup.


    " Hahhhhh! What the hell is this?"


    " It''s like¡­Someone punched me with a fistced with refreshing mint."


    " What a wine! The yellow rice wine shitpared to it!"


    " More! I need more of it! Waiter! Bring me more cups."


    " What cups? Waiter, Bring me a whole jar of wine!"


    The waiter smiled as he bowed. " Esteemed guests, You already drank your three cups of allotted wine. If you want more wine, you need to pay."


    " Who says we won''t?"


    " Uhm, Brother¡­ This wine¡­This must be very¡­expensive." The other man was already getting a bit tipsy."


    " Yeah, You are right. I don''t have¡­much money now¡­"


    " Not at all." The waiter smiled. " One jar is worth only fifty taels of gold."


    " What? Fifty taels? Only?"


    " Damn it! Here, Take my money!"


    In the daytime, a strange phenomenon happened outside the Tianxiang Pavilion.


    Those who came out outside, most of them were walking as if they were drunk. However, when asked how much they had drunk, they gave a surprising answer.


    " What? You goy drunk in a single jar of wine?"


    " Shameful! And you call yourself a man?"


    " What a farce! I will show you how a real man drinks."


    However, let alone a full jar, some people felt they couldn''t drink more than the original three free cups of Spring Wine.


    " What sort of wine is that?"


    " It''s so strong and intoxication is simply¡­Whoa."


    " And such a wine is fifty taels of gold per jar? That''s not too expensive."


    " I would like to buy a jar!"


    " I will buy two jars!"


    As the sun reached the middle of the sky, the Tianxiang Pavilion put a closed sign outside.


    " What? You are closing already!?"


    " This is unfair! I was standing outside for so long!"


    " Esteemed guests, Please wait." Chef Liang walked out as he cupped his fist.


    " Due to the heavy crowd, the materials arepletely finished. Therefore, I would like all of you toe back tomorrow."


    " However, We won''t be unfair. Those who have waited for long, please have these ques. If youe back tomorrow and show this, you will get a seat."


    " And for extrapensation, our Tianxiang Pavilion shall distribute sweets to everyone."


    Opening a casket, a sweet smell bursts forward. Everyone swarmed around Chef Liang as he gave everyone sweets with a packet containing buns.


    Those are simply fried milk buns tossed with caramel ze. However, to the crowd, it''s a novel delicacy.


    " Mhm! This dough¡­This is so soft!"


    " I can just eat all four. This is so sweet and tasty!"


    " No, I am taking this back for my daughter. She loves the sweet and she is going to love it more."


    " Tianxiang Pavilion going to make a killing.


    As the restaurant closed early, many people left with disappointment. However, the reputation Tianxiang Pavilion earned managed to shock the entire Nanhai City.


    " So many news dishes?"


    " A wine that can get you drunk in a few cups?"


    " Haha! I got a waiting que. I cane and eat tomorrow."


    " I heard the offer of free dishes stands for the next two days. We gottae early tomorrow."


    On that day, many men of Nanhai City couldn''t go to their work because they had drank too much. Soon enough, the news reached to the ear of the Cai Family.


    Cai Yunhai was looking at the reports of various cases. When he heard that, he couldn''t help but shout.


    " That scoundrel! How could he do that?"


    Old Yang was surprised. " Did Son in Law do wrong?"


    " Of course! How could he do that?" Cai Yunhai was angry. " He brewed a special wine at home yet didn''t even call me to taste it."


    " Now Patriarch has said it, It''s truly correct." Old Yang nodded instantly.


    " Hmph, Call him to the training ground in afternoon. I will spar with him a bit."


    " Patriarch, isn''t that a bit¡­excessive?"


    " He needs to learn manners." Cai Yunhai snorted. " Beside, what is he going to do with that frail body of his.''


    '' Frail body?'' Old Yang''s lips twitched, but he remained silent in the end.


    " Thankfully, not many cases are here today. Most could be handled by the justiciary officers." Cai Yunhai sighed as he leaned back on the chair.


    " What do you think? Have I be old?"


    " How could Patriarch Cai say that? Old Yang shook his head.


    " Elder Brother is fighting in northen frontier. Sometimes, I can''t help but miss the battlefield."


    " Because that''s who we are, Patriarch Cai." Old Yang sighed. " We are the vanguard of the Great Yan Empire, the lineage of noble generals who followed the first emperor to conquer thends and drive away demons and monsters."


    " Besides, We still have Dark Wind Guards¡­"


    " They are the protector of the Nanhai Mountain." Cai Yunhai rolled his eyes. " Even if I die, I won''t give them themand to move."


    " Because if they leave, the western barbarians, monsters, and demons woulde invading."


    " Patriarch Cai¡­"


    " Haha, I was just venting out a bit." Cia Yunhaiughed. " After all, I am still contended here. After all, what am Icking?"


    " Anyway, Time to see that brat."

 Chapter 165: Sparring With Cai Yunhai

    Jia Hao was sitting in his room was he was writing down something on the paper. Looking at his calligraphy skill, he couldn''t help but nod with satisfaction.


    '' Not bad. I already got the talent from Lei Qinzhu. However, with my own personal touch, my calligraphy skills improved a lot.''


    '' Hmm, I should also increase my other skills. Should I go around and kill some more people?''


    '' Fuck, What the fuck am I thinking?'' Jia Hao shook his head. '' I am not a murder maniac.'' Jia Hao took a deep breath and scolded himself.


    He realized that although he is bncing both his buddhist and mara techniques, both of them are inherently conflicting with each other.


    The Six Desires Myriad Thought Art could utilize the desire qi to do some incredible things. However, as a side effect, the user is also prone to easily consumed by those feelings.


    Meanwhile, The Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts strengthens the body and heart. However, as Mara warned, if cultivatedpletely, one would forsake all desires and achieve enlightenment.


    Jia Hao didn''t want either of them. There is simply no fun of being a beast with base instinct or an enlightened being with no worldly desires.


    '' I would rather enjoy the worldly delicacies rather than the ndness of heaven and the cruelty of hell.''


    In the middle of the day, Jia Hao sighed as he blew a fan. '' Ugh, This autumn humidity. It''s making me feel all sweaty.''


    Thankfully, Minmin brought him the meal and he enjoyed it.


    " Young Lord, How did you do it?" Minmin couldn''t help but ask.


    " Do what? The fire in Niu Family?"


    " No, Transforming the wine." Minming shook her head. " Why would I ask about the incident of Niu Family when we didn''t do anything?"


    Looking at her coy smile, Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle. " Indeed, I don''t know about it."


    " As for the wine, It''s also a secret. Hmm, What do you think?"


    " You probably used the spring water, refreshing herbs, and fruits you asked me to purchase." Minmin thought for a moment before speaking.


    " However, if you add them directly into the rice wine, it will taste pretty weird. However, the Spring Wine you made ispletely different."


    " Well, Maybe I am an alchemist?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " Maybe you are." Minmin nodded with a serious face. " Because the things you did could be only done with spirit alchemy."


    " You want to know the secret?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " If you beg me sweetly, then I might think of it."


    " Hmph, No way." Minmin snorted lightly. " I don''t want to know anymore. You are still a pervert as before."


    " Hey, I am not a pervert." Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    At that moment, Cai Yixue walked into the room and saw the banter between Jia Hao and Minmin.


    " Wife, You are back." Jia Hao whimpered. " This insolent servant girl! How dare he raise her voice before me?"


    " Hmph, Young Miss, Young Lord is throwing so much tantrum."


    " Alright, Both of you calm down." Cai Yixue waved her hands as she sighed. " I got the report of Tianxiang Pavilion''s today''s profit."


    " And? How much is it?" Jia Hao asked with a smile.


    " Ten thousand taels of gold."


    " What? Ten thousand taels of gold in one day? And despite giving so much free food?" Minmin was shocked.


    Because earlier, the store only earned thirty thousand taels of gold per month. However, just in a single day, the new Tianxiang Pavilion earned more than ten thousand taels of gold.


    Not to mention, the profit is solely based on the items people ordered after the three free servings of food. If there was no offer¡­


    Just thinking about that, Both Cai Yixue and MInmin''s breathing increased.


    However, Jia Hao only smiled as he drank tea elegantly. " Don''t worry, This is just beginning."


    " At this point, money doesn''t matter that much. What we need to do is to spread our reputation first."


    " And without unique dishes, it won''t take long before the Tianxiang Pavilion would earn more than what it''s earning right now."


    " I already have a n and you gave me a lot of insightst time." Cai Yixue nodded. " I hope the things go like that."


    As they were chatting, suddenly Old Yang knocked on the door from outside.


    " Young Lord, Patriarch is looking for you. Pleasee to the training ground."


    " Traning ground?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Very well, Old Yang. Lead the way."


    Cai Yixue and Minmin also followed him. As they reached there, they saw Cai Yunhai standing in the middle of the ground, wearing a loose robe.


    " You have arrived? It took you long enough." Cai Yunhai snorted. " Go ahead and pick a weapon."


    " Why is it, Father in Law?" Jia Hao was curious. " Suddenly calling me here, you want to spar with me?"


    " Why are you talking so much?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " Just hurry up and pick a weapon. Today, I will see how much your martial arts has progressed.


    " As you say, Father in Law." Jia Hao nodded as he looked around and picked a short sword. Cai Yunhai took a saber and stood before him.


    " Are you ready?"


    " I am."


    " Very well.: Cai Yunhai casually swung his de. " Block this."


    Jia Hao felt like a giant wave of winding towards him. Raising his sword, he tried to block Cai Yunhai''s attack.


    *cLANG!*


    Jia Hao took a few steps back as he saw his arms were shaking. He only used his physical strength to block the attack. However, now he felt like his arms would just rip off.


    '' So, that means his physical strength is more than me. He is an Innate Master after all.''


    " Hah, So weak? You can''t handle a single wing like that?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " Come at me with all your power!"


    Jia Hao calmed his breath as he raised his short sword. Employing the Swift Dagger Arts, his sword shed at Cai Yunhai.


    Cai Yunhai was mildly surprised, but his body was far too nimble, dodging Jia Hao''s attack.


    Jia Hao tried to skip a step to Cai Yunhai''s side and stab his sword. But Cai Yunhai simply used his saber to block the attack, as if he saw through Jia Hao''s attack.


    " Although your sword is pretty fast, why the hell are you using it as a dagger?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " Both are fundamentally different. A dager must be swift and unseen, as it''s mostly used as a surprise attack. A sword should be straight and unwavering, slicing your enemies apart without any mercy."


    Jia Hao was surprised as he understood what Cai Yunhai was implying. " Very well, Father in Law, I shall try something else."


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes activated.


    " Let''s have another round."

 Chapter 166: News From Fragrant Medicine Store

    Cai Yunhai''s gaze flinched as he felt Jia Hao''s aura suddenly change. It wasn''t as clumsy and yful as before.


    '' What''s this brat thinking?''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s body blurred as he appeared right before Cai Yunhai. Channeling his internal energy, Jia Hao''s sword shone with a crimson tint.


    " Crimson Frenzy Aura!"


    *SWISH! SWISH!*


    With a huff, Cai Yunhai skipped a few steps back as he avoided Jia Hao''s sword attack. Unlike before, his techniquespletely changed.


    His sword seemed to glow with that crimson tint as he kept shing and shing. Although each of the shes looked like some sort of random sh, each of them was connected with another.


    Not to mention, there was also Jia Hao''s abnormal speed. His body was appearing and fading, like shadows in moonlight. Cai Yunhai''s expression became a bit serious as he raised his saber.


    " Take this!"


    *CLANG! CLANG!*


    Switching offense from defense, Cai Yunhai didn''t choose to back down anymore. However, as he attacked Jia Hao, Jia Hao was able to barely dodge the attack.


    Crouching his body, Jia Hao pounced forward, pointing his sword at Cai Yunhai''s chest.


    " Frenzied Stab!"


    Cai Yunhai snorted as he raised his saber. " Ghost Wind!"


    His saber made the wind wail as it sliced through all the stabs of Jia Hao. With an elegant arc, It shot towards Jia Hao''s neck.


    Jia Hao was rmed as it was way too fast. Therefore, he could only use his sword to block it.


    Lacing his sword with internal qi, Jia Hao could feel the sword covered with me sparks.


    *BOOM!*


    Jia Hao pushed back greatly as he felt like his arms leaving his body. However, he adjusted his steps so he didn''t fall downpletely.


    Cai Yunhai was a bit amused as his aura vanished. " Haha, I didn''t think you would manage to make me use a bit of my internal qi."


    '' He was fighting without one now?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but criticize inwardly.


    Not to mention, that baleful killing intent Cai Yunhai identally released. Jia Hao felt like he was smelling the blood of freshly killed soldiers on the battlefield.


    '' Innate Realm Masters are so powerful. And this damned pot wants to use them as energy sources?''


    " However, I have to admit. This round, you did well." Cai Yunhai rubbed his chin. " That sword form, I think I have seen it before? Isn''t that Crimson Dagger Dojo''s Crimson Frenzy de Art?"


    " Father in Law is wise. It''s indeed what you are thinking."


    " How did you get it?" Cai Yunhai was surprised. " I thought only the core disciples were allowed to learn that technique? It''s Crimson Dagger Dojo''s core technique after all."


    " Let''s say, I had a chance encounter." Jia Hao spoke with an amused voice.


    " Then what about your movement technique?" Cai Yunhai asked. " It''s pretty¡­Good. It gives both agility and stealth. However, I can see that you are still clumsy at it."


    This was the Fading Moon Steps which Jia Hao got from the Moonlight Rapist. Thanks to his ability absorption, he mastered the technique quickly.


    But till now, there were quite a few chances for him to use it. So, his control of it was a bit weak.


    " I just can''t imagine how someone like you who doesn''t do anything still has so much strength."


    " That''s a pretty rude remark, Father in Law." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " What if I am a once in a thousand year genius?"


    " Sure, Whatever you say." Cai Yunhai pointed his saber at him. " However, Why didn''t you tell me that you brew a new wine?"


    Jia Hao''s expression turned off when he realized why Cai Yunhai was tormenting him. ''Damn it, Is it only because I didn''t give him the Spring Wine?"


    " Father in Law, the Spring Wine is a prettymon wine. I don''t think such low level wine should be gifted to such an esteemed self as you."


    " I have given you better drinks, no? Why do you wish to drink cheap wine?"


    " Hah? Are you telling the truth?" Cia Yunhai was still skeptical.


    " How about this?" Jia Hao reasoned. " Next time, I will bring some more wine, Exclusively for you, Father in Law."


    " Hmm, Now you are talking properly." Cai Yunhai gave a smug grin and patted Jia Hao''s shoulder.


    " Although your strength is good, your foundation is shallow. You need more practice and experience."


    " And don''t forget to bring wine to me next time."


    Cai Yunhai turned around and saw Cai Yixue and Mining watching the spar. " What is it, Yixue? Were you afraid I would injure your husband?"


    " You can do whatever you wish, Father." Cai Yixue replied curtly. " But it looks like you already sold yourself for a few bottles of wine."


    " I¡­"


    Cai Yunhai blushed a bit, but he didn''t bother to borate anymore. " Nonsense, I was just testing him a bit. What would people say if the Son In Law of mighty General Cai Yunhai is just a pretty boy?"


    Jia Hao thought of something as he looked at Cai Yunhai. " Father in Law, I wish to ask you about something."


    " Yes?"


    " The military supplies, Do we have enough of them?"


    " You can say so?" Cai Yunhai pondered a bit. " Why do you ask?"


    " I want to visit our family''s forging workshop." Jia Hao cupped his fist. " Maybe, I could find a way to increase output?"


    " Are you telling the truth?" Cai Yunhai was surprised. " If that''s the case, Talk with Old Yang. He handles everything there."


    " Thank you, Father in Law."


    Cai Yunhai turned around to leave. " Actually, Come to my office tonight. I have something to discuss with you."


    Jia Hao couldn''t understand why Cai Yunhai wished to meet him. But looking at him, it felt like Cai Yunhai was up to no good.


    As he left, Minmin and Cai Yixue walked to him.


    " Where did you learn so many techniques? I never saw you practice them though?"


    " Hehe, It''s my secret, Wife." Jia Hao grinned. " I can reveal you if you give me a kiss."


    Cai Yixue''s cheeks turned red as she turned around. " Hmph, Shameless."


    However, at that moment, a servant came running by and bowed before Jia Hao. Minmin recognized him. " Aren''t you from Fragrant Medicine Store?"


    " Pharmacist Mo has sent me here. He wants Son In Law Jia to reach there quickly."


    " Apparently, Someone got poisoned by Violet Smoke Grass."


    Jia Hao''s eyes shone when he heard that. " I see. So, It finally happened, eh?"


    "Very well, Lead the way." Jia Hao adjusted his robes as a bright smile appeared on his face.


    Cai Yixue and Minmin looked at Jia Hao and they nced at each other.


    " He is up to no good."


    " I also think that."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    It didn''t take long before Jia Hao arrived at the Fragrant Medicine Store. He could already see a few disciples of Crimson Dagger Dojo standing outside.


    As Jia Hao arrived, the workers of Fragrant Medicine Store bowed before him and took him in respectfully.


    In the main room, Pharmacist Mo was sitting and a patient was lying before him. Pharmacist Mo checked his pulse and drew out some blood with a silver needle.


    When he put the needle in a medicinal concoction, the needle turned pitch ck with a purple shade.


    Beside the patient stood a woman in her early twenties. She wore a ck and red martial arts robe, with auburn hair tied into a long ponytail.


    " Doctor Mo, I thought Violet Smoke Grass was prohibited?" The woman asked with a serious voice. " My father remained in the dojo for most of the time. How could he get poisoned by it?"


    " Miss Qiuliu, As you can see, this silver needle already turned dark. This means Mr. Sang Qian is poisoned. As for what type of poison is it, we can guess because of this violet shade."


    " There are very few poisons which can turn this concoction into a violet shade. And as far as Mr. Sang''s symptoms showing, I believe it''s Violet Smoke Grass."


    " Do¡­Doctor Mo, Just tell me¡­If there are any cures."


    " I¡­ Maybe?" Pharmacist Mo spoke with a bit troubled tone. " However, I need to consult with another person."


    " Doctor Mo, I beg to you. Please do everything you can. But please, save my father."


    Sang Qiuliu was the daughter of Sang Qian. However, looking at the condition of her father, she couldn''t help but kneel before Pharmacist Mo.


    " Miss Qiuliu! Please, Get up!" Pharmacist Mo hurriedly replied. But then he saw Jia Hao arriving, making his eyes shine.


    " Young Lord, You are here."


    Jia Hao nodded as he looked at Pharmacist Mo and nodded. " Pharmacist Mo, I heard you were looking for me?"


    " The master of Crimson Dagger Dojo, Sang Qian got affected by the Violet Smoke Grass." Pharmacist Mo replied.


    " I would like to know everything from the beginning." Jia Hao looked at Sang Qiuliu. " Miss Qiuliu, Is it? Can you tell me?"


    Sang Qiuliu looked at Jia Hao and nodded. " I¡­I can."


    " Everything happened three days ago. Elder Lei was a bit worried when Lei Qinzhu, my junior disciple brother didn''t return."


    " But other than that, my father started to have a strange ache in his body. He felt his internal qi might have been disrupted. So he entered in seclusion training."


    " However, Last night, he coughed a mouthful of ck blood and fainted on the ground. He also felt his internal qi was getting all clogged and he couldn''t channel it at all."

 Chapter 167: Commissioning Crimson Dagger Dojo

    " Thankfully, I noticed the situation and gave some first aid. But since today''s morning, the situation grew worse thanst night." Sang Qiuliu sighed as her eyes almost teared up.


    " Thus, I brought him as fast as possible."


    Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he looked at Sang Qian. " I understand."


    Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he looked at the condition of Sang Qian.


    [ Name: Sang Qian]


    [ Age: 56]


    [ Remark: The leader of Crimson Dagger Dojo and half step Innate Realm practitioner of blue internal qi. Currently suffering from a mild dosage of Violet Smoke Grass]


    [ Recent Future Point: Three Dayster, he visits the Cai Family to thank Jia Hao for saving his life and give a bottle of Energy Revolving Pill to him]


    '' I see, His recent future point changed, huh?'' Jia Hao was mildly surprised.


    In the original future, he was supposed to die by Lei Qinzhu''s scheme. The Violet Smoke Grass should have fed to Sang Qian a few more times to ensure his death.


    However, the n was intercepted and Lei Qingzhu was killed by Jia Hao. So, The amount of Violet Smoke Grass in Sang Qian''s body couldn''t kill him. Or at least, bought him some extra time.


    " Miss Qiuliu, you did an excellent job to bring your father early. If you had dyed, the treatment might have proven futile." Jia Hao spoke with a grave voice.


    " Pharmacist Mo, I believe the amount of Violet Smoke Grass is very low. So, the toxicity isn''t spread everywhere."


    " I too believe that, Young Lord." Pharmacist Mo was surprised when he heard Jia Hao''s acute description.'' Young Master knows about medicines and poisons?''


    " Do we have herbs to cure him?"


    " Ah, Yes. We received a batch of precious herbs a few days ago. I believe it will work." Pharmacist Mo spoke with an odd face." However, I would like Young Lord to prepare some countermeasures in case anything goes wrong."


    " Of course, I will, Pharmacist Mo." Jia Hao nodded. " Miss Qiuliu, You don''t need to worry. Our Fragrant Medicine Store''s reputation is unrivaled. I believe Mr. Sang will be cured soon."


    " Thank you, young master." Sang Qiuliu blushed a bit as she cupped her fist. " Me and the Crimson Dagger Dojo shall forever be grateful to you if you save my father."


    " But, May I know your identity?"


    " Me?" Jia Hao smiled. " I am Jia Hao, the son inw of Cai Family."


    " Ahh, I see."


    Sang Qiuliu understood instantly as she nodded. After all, Jia Hao could be considered a small celebrity in Nanhai City.


    Just his identity as the husband of Cai Yixue would drive any man crazy with jealousy. Not to mention, his poems and other tales were slowly circting in the city.


    " Young Lord Jia, I sincerely hope you save my father. And if you do so, our dojo will stand with your Cai Family."


    " That''s all I want to hear, Miss Qiuliu." Jia Hao smiled. " Pharmacist Mo, You can begin."


    " Yes, Young Lord." Pharmacist Mo called a few of the medicinal servants and brought Sang Qian to another room.


    " If Miss Qiuliu isn''t busy, then can I take some time with you?"


    " Sure, Why not?" Sang Qiuliu nodded as she followed Jia Hao.


    " So, Miss Qiuliu, What sort of work does Crimson Dagger Dojo do? I am sure it''s not training people just to get stronger?"


    " Of course not." Sang Qiuliu shook her head. " It''s also a form of business."


    " Peoplee here to receive guidance on martial path. We give them resources and techniques, and they repay us with various deeds."


    " We give merchant escort services, money lending, guarding services, and monster hunting bounties."


    " The disciples of our dojo give gains merits by doing our tasks. And in return, we give them resources."


    She smiled lightly. " Though, We are iparable to a noble military family as the Cai Family."


    The Cai Family is a military duke. Although they are famous for their 10,000 soldiers in Silver Lightning Cavalry, there are also 30,000 soldiers who are currently under the governance of the Cai family.


    In normal times, these soldiers would work as farmers or other workers while training once a week. However, during times of need, they can easily be transformed into powerful soldiers.


    The reason for the Cai Family''s establishment in Nanhai City was to guard the Nanhai Mountain, protecting the entrance of Western Province from the barbarians of the west.


    Therefore, not only Nanhai City, but the entire Great Yan Kingdom admires the Cai Family.


    However, Due to their utter loyalty and dislike of mixing with the imperial family''s politics, the Cai family has been side tracked by everyone.


    And after thest war, the Cai Family wasn''t aided by the imperial family at all. They have been survivingpletely independently.


    " Does that mean the Crimson Dagger Dojo knows all the ins and outs of the Nanhai Mountains? And the Twisted Dark Forest?"


    " You can say so." Sang Qiuliu nodded when she heard Jia Hao. " However, the Nanhai Mountain range is far too big. Therefore, we only know about the thirty li radius of mountains near Nanhai City."


    " Then, Would Miss Sang give me a copy of a map? I wish to visit a ce in Twisted Dark Forest called Wolves Fountain."


    " Wolves Fountain?" Sang Qiuliu was surprised. " That ce is infested with dark goblins and blood eyed wolves. Going there alone would be very dangerous."


    " I am not going alone, Miss Sang. However, Thank you for your consideration."


    " En, That''s alright." Sang Qiuliu nodded. " I shall send a copy of the map to you."


    " Young Lord Jia, Are you really just a schr?"


    " What do you mean, Miss Sang?" Jia Hao spoke with a curious gaze.


    " Schrs generally those who didn''t attain Profound Awakening Realm and took the Imperial Examinations."


    " However, You don''t exactly feel like a frail mortal schr."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " My, I am ttered that Miss Sang showing interest in me."


    " Haha, Young Lord Jia is quite funny."


    " Regarding Mr. Sang''s condition, Don''t you think it''s a bit odd, Miss Sang?" Jia Hao proposed. " Someone must have tried to poison Mr. Sang. And it couldn''t be done without being his close ones."


    " But the strange thing is, the poison is mild. Why someone who wants to kill him would give him mild poison? Unless they didn''t have a chance to poison him anymore?"


    Sang Qiuliu''s pupils shrank when she heard that. " That¡­That is possible. However, What do you want to imply, Young Lord?"


    " Well, I was just piecing things together. And I recently saw Elder Lei of Crimson Dagger Dojo filing a missing report for his son Lei Qinzhu."


    " Digging a bit more, I noticed the intention of Lei father and son."


    Sang Qiuliu''s breathing turned faster as she looked away. " This¡­This isn''t¡­possible¡­"


    " I am not saying anything." Jia Hao shrugged. " I was merely stating a hypothesis."


    " Young Lord Jia, Please give me some moment. I shall be back in an hour or two." Sang Qiuliu cupped her fist as she spoke.


    " Don''t worry about your father, Miss Sang." Jia Hao nodded with a smile. " I believe the curing effect would show up within today''s evening."


    " So, You can go without any worry. We will take care of Mr. Sang."


    " Thank you, Young Lord Jia. Next time, I shall treat you to a drink." Sang Qiuliu turned around and left hurriedly.


    Jia Hao''s lips curled when he saw her leaving.


    '' Ah, Fate¡­It''s so interconnected.''


    Jia Hao turned around and left.


    The reason why he asked for the map of Wolves Fountain is very simple. Because he knew there was a herb called Bright Snow Lotus hiding there.


    When he met Li Qing, he saw his Recent Future Point. He was looking for the Bright Snow Lotus. And to get that, he employed Elder Lei of Crimson Dagger Dojo.


    However, Elder Lei was actually from the enemy faction. He poisoned Li Qing And Zhou Yan''s drink in the in the forest, making them lose their strength.


    Although Li Qing and Zhou Yan managed to kill their way out and get the Bright Snow Lotus. However, Zhou Yan would lose one of his arms and Li Qing almost got crippled.


    For a Crown Prince to be in this state, the Third Prince Li Yuan would definitely take advantage of it.


    " As Li Qing said, he contacted Lei Qinzhu first. However, since I killed Lei Qinzhu, Li Qing had to seek help from Elder Lei. Not as Crown Prince Li Qing, but young master Qing Li."


    " So, his original future didn''t change at all. But that''s till I know it." Jia Hao muttered.


    He can use this chance to solidify his rtionship with the Crown Prince. And with him on his side, Jia Hao could build his own political power.


    In this world, money is powerful, yes. However, it''s not omnipotent. Yun Continent respects power and connections more than material wealth.


    Because no matter how much a wealthy merchant you are, or how powerful a martial artist you are, a single Imperial Order and you will get ruined.


    '' Therefore, I need to control the Imperial Family first. Otherwise, I won''t have a moment of peace.''

 Chapter 168: Millennium Yin Iron

    As he returned to the Cai Family mansion, Jia Hao spent his days in leisure. Old Yang brought him some of the sample weapons used by the soldiers.


    '' These are simply made from pig iron. So hard and brittle. The grains inside are also very uneven.'' Jia Hao inspected the items.


    However, as these weapons were mass produced for the war, quantity is more appreciated than quality.


    Besides, the quality of the iron was poor. Because, most of the time, the scrapped weapons and armor collected from the battlefield and melted directly.


    After separating the impurities, the remaining material is used to make more weapons.


    However, after such tempering in me, the recycled sword bes more brittle, impacting its performance.


    But when he checked the sword, Old Yang was surprised.


    " Old Yang, Why your sword is almost three times better than these ordinary swords?"


    " Because it''s made by a renowned cksmith with Millenium Yin Iron. Meanwhile, these swords are made of simple cold iron." Old Yang exined.


    '' Ah, How could I forget? Yun continent is filled with magical herbs and treasure ores. I can''t use my modern world logic here."


    " Then how does this Millenium Yin Iron is made?"


    " It''s condensed from the Cold Iron and can naturally extracted in the deepest parts of old mines. It can be created with ordinary cold iron too, but the process is too lengthy and takes a month to build weapons with it."


    " There are various sects and families who build special weapons. However, those weapons range fromfew tens of thousand taels of gold to a million taels of gold."


    " Meanwhile, the ordinary sword can be bought with a hundred taels of gold or less."


    " Cai Family forges mostly smaller things, like knives and farming tools. We also produce weapons, but they were sent to the Imperial Army."


    " Wait a minute." Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled. " You mean, If the Cold Iron ore refined quickly, we can use its essence to make Millenium Yin Iron?"


    " Uhh, Technically, Yes?" Old Yang nodded.


    " However, that''s pretty difficult to do. Besides, smelting and tempering the billet also requires a lot of skilled people. A single weapon might take an entire day to be built."


    " You don''t need to worry about that, Old Yang." Jia Hao grinned as he thought of an interesting method.


    '' If this seeds, I would be able to manufacture enough weapons for the Cai Family.''


    In the evening, good news came from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Since Jia Hao asked Pharmacist Mo to prepare the antidote days ago, the treatment was very efficient. In the evening, Sang Qian''s bodypletely expelled all the poison.


    He could feel the strength returning to his body as he could now move his internal qi without any pain.


    As Jia Hao was enjoying Minmin''s massage while sitting on the chair, Sang Qiuliu arrived before Jia Hao.


    " Greeting, Young Lord Jia. I hope I am not disturbing you?"


    " Not at all." Jia Hao chuckled. " For beauties, my door is always open. Ouch!"


    Minmin red at Jia Hao when she heard Jia Hao''s cheeky statement. '' How dare hepliment another woman in this household?''


    Sang Qiuliu giggled lightly as she looked at Jia Hao. " I never expected Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would be efficient. As part of my deal, I have brought aprehensive map of Wolves Fountain."


    " This map is different from the ones out in public. I have also marked various monster territories and locations of various herbs and natural treasures."


    " Thank you for your effort, Miss Sang. I shall be grateful to you." Jia Hao smiled politely.


    " No, no¡­Please, don''t make me embarrassed." Sang Qiuliu shook her head. " I am simply doing what a filial daughter should do."


    " So, What''s about Lei Qinzhu?" Jia Hao asked with a curious voice. Hearing that name, Snag Qiuliu''s face turned stiff.


    However, she sighed and decided to disclose the matter. " Yes, It''s very much possible that Lei Qinzhu poisoned my father. And, Elder Lei knew about this matter."


    " I have notified Father and he asked me to remain calm for now." She gritted her teeth as her fingers clutched the sword on her waist.


    " Just waiting till my father recovers. And after that, Elder Lei shall be punished ording to our dojo rules."


    " However, I am still unsure about a matter." Sang Qiuliu frowned. " Why did Lei Qinzhu vanish at the crucial moment? I know him, and he is a much petty individual."


    " So, What could have happened to him?"


    " Maybe, a benefactor of yours took care of him?" Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile, making Sang Qiuliu startled.


    " You mean¡­"


    " I don''t mean anything. Just a hypothesis."


    Sang Qiuliu pursed her lips when she heard the nonchnt reply of Jia Hao. Seeing he wasn''t going to borate, Sang Qiuliu didn''t inquire further.


    " Very well, I shall owe one to that mysterious benefactor."


    " Miss Sang, May I put amission?" Jia Hao looked at her.


    " Sure, What is it?"


    " We got information that deep within the Wolven Fountain, there is a Bright Snow Lotus. As you know, It''s a rare medicinal herb with wonderful effects. So, I wonder if you can arrange for someone to guide my friends there?"


    " Of course, I will do it. And, I will do it for free."


    " For free? That''s not good, Miss Sang."


    " Oh please, Young Lord Jia, I can at least do it for you." Sang Qiuliuughed lightly. " Are you alsoing?"


    " I am thinking about it." Jia Hao nodded.


    Sang Qiuliu turned around to leave. " Then leave everything on me. We shall go two dayster."


    Jia Hao smacked his lips when he looked at the back of Sang Qiuliu. She was truly a martial artist, with her muscles sculpted more than Cai Lingzhi.


    " OUCH! MINMIN!"


    Jia Hao winched in pain as he felt a pinch on his waist. Minmin stood beside her with a passive aggressive smile.


    " Young Lord, Don''t you think a married man should restrain himself?"


    Rubbing his waist, Jia Hao chuckled. " All depends on circumstances. If the wife of the man allows, then why there is a need for restraint?"


    " But, Can''t you be faithful to Young Miss?" Minmin quipped.


    " Who said I am not?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Mind your words, Minmin. If Cai Yixue wasn''t my wife, Why would I have helped the Cai Family?"


    Minmin became silent as she realized that she might have said a bit too much. " I apologize, Young Lord. I didn''t mean that¡­"


    " But you said that." Jia Hao gave an evil grin. " Therefore, You need punishment."


    " Punishment?" Minmin took a step back when she saw the smile of Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao''s hands were faster as he gave two crispy spanks on Minmin''s perky butt.


    *PAA! PAA!*


    " Ahn!~"


    Minmin''s face turned red as she hopped back like a rabbit. Rubbing her aching buttcheeks, she couldn''t help but re at Jia Hao with a teary gaze.


    " Yo-You! Shameless! Pervert!"


    Jia Haoughed loudly, but his ughter froze as he saw Cai Yixue standing in the distance, looking at everything unfolding before her eyes.


    " Uhm, Wife¡­I can exin¡­" Jia Hao tried to say something, but Cai Yixue just gave a disappointed shake of the head and walked away.


    " Hmph! You deserved it!" Minmin couldn''t help but gloat at Jia Hao''s plight. However, when Jia Hao looked at her again, she walked back several steps.


    " It looks like I need to teach the maid some lessons."


    " Wahhh! Son in Law is bullying me!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Later that night, Old Yang appeared before Jia Hao and cupped his fist.


    " Young Lord, As you asked, Ten crates full of iron ingots are prepared."


    " But, Young Lord, May I know what are you going to do with all this iron?"


    Jia Haoughed when he heard that. " Well, I also wonder. I have a n my mind. But I need to see if it''s working or not."


    " Since you have delivered the items, you can go now."


    " But Patriarch wishes to meet you¡­"


    " Nope, Tell him I am tired to today and wish to rest. Besides, I need to go out tomorrow. " Jia Hao made an excuse. He doesn''t want more work dumped on him.


    As Old Yang left, Jia Hao stored all the crates in his Pot of Miracle and went to sleep.


    '' Let''s see if it''s working or not.''


    Jia Hao put various herbs along with the crates, hoping to see the result of the deconstruction.


    He stayed here for over three days in Yun Continent. So more than half a day passed in Azure Sea World.


    Opening his eyes, he realized 300 Chaos Points werepletely spent.


    The original pile of ten crates worth of iron ingots were reduced by sixty percent, leaving a lustrous pile of dark iron.


    [ Millennium Yin Iron: Extracted from the Cold Iron of Yun Continent. Very durable and sharp]


    [ Essence of Hundred Year old Ginseng: A single drop can increase blood vitality by two times. A regr usage of seven days can permanently increase strength and stamina in body]


    [ Essence of Yellow Medicine Fruit: Sweet and has more healing properties]


    '' Jackpot!''

 Chapter 169: Astonishing Finding

    Jia Hao was excited when he saw the things inside his Pot of Miracles. As he expected, Chaos Energy converted and refined all the things and extracted their purest forms.


    Arge amount of iron ore transformed into Millenium Yin Iron. And looking at it, he doubted if Azure Sea World had such metal here.


    '' I should try and see if the Millenium Yin Iron could be an use here.''


    Looking around, it was already evening in Azure Sea World Yawning, he got out of bed and walked out.


    As he walked out, he saw Su Lan fluttering around like a butterfly with a worried expression.


    " What happened, Sister Lan? Everything alright?"


    " Ji-Jia Hao?"


    Su Lan was startled as she rushed toward Jia Hao. " Good lord! Jia Hao, where did you go?"


    " I was in my room¡­" Jia Hao paused as his eyes squinted. " You went to my room?"


    " Yes, I did!" Su Lan nodded. " And you weren''t there! You even left your phone in your room!"


    " I thought I clearly said to not enter my room?" Jia Hao snorted lightly. " Besides, Who made the rule of no intimacy for a week, huh?"


    " I¡­" Su Lan felt frustrated when she heard that. " Look, I was just angry, ok? How could I not get angry when you slept with my sister and not me?"


    " Were you angry with me because I slept with Xing''er or angry because I slept with her first than with you?" Jia Hao raised hid brows.


    Su Lan was speechless as she couldn''t think of an answer properly. " I¡­ I¡­ guess..Both of them?"


    " Too bad, Sister Lan, As you said, I can''t be intimate with you for a week." Jia Hao chuckled as he turned around to leave.


    " Hao''er¡­"


    " Yes?"


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh when he heard the coo of Su Lan. No matter how angry he is, he can''t just ignore Su Lan.


    " I¡­"


    Su Lan wanted to hug Jia Hao. However, the moment she touched his back, both of them froze as Su Xing''er walked out of her room


    " Uhmmm¡­"


    All three of them froze as they looked at each other with a strange gaze.


    " Elder Sister, You¡­"


    " I¡­I was just talking with him." Su Lan took a few steps back as she blinked.


    " Oh, Yes¡­"


    " Whatever, I am going to grab some snacks." Jia Hao muttered as he walked away.


    Both Su Xing''er and Su Lan looked at each other as they both sighed in the end.


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao took out a bottle of c and some snacks before sitting before the TV. After all, it''s been a while since he had rxed a bit.


    However, as he was working, he suddenly got a call from Lin Mei. Jia Hao sighed as he picked up the call.


    " Hey, Jia Hao, What are you doing?"


    " Nothing much. Why did you call me?"


    " What? Can''t I just call you for nothing?" Lin Mei quipped, making Jia Hao speechless.


    " I mean, You certainly won''t call me for nothing."


    " What a mean bastard." Lin Mei couldn''t help but snort. " Anyway, Have you forgot? You told me that we are going to study together."


    " Well, Yeah but¡­I am not feeling good today." Jia Hao yawned as he answered.


    " Are you alright?"


    " Yeah, I am fine. It''s just, feeling a bit toozy."


    " Then, Tomorrow?"


    " Sure, Babe." Jia Hao smiled. However, he suddenly thought of something. " Lin Mei, can you give me the contact of your father?"


    " Why? You want toin to him about me?" Lin Mei retorted.


    " No, It''s something else. Come on, How can I snitch on my sexy maid girlfriend?"


    " Hnmph, Cocky bastard." Lin Mei didn''t took any offense. " Wait a bit, I will send it to you."


    Not long after, Jia Hao called Lin Cheng, the father of Lin Mei.


    " Hello, Uncle Lin, It''s me, Jia Hao."


    " Ah, Hao''er, Tell me, Howe you called me?" Lin Cheng asked with a smile. " Everything alright?"


    " Yes, Uncle Lin, Everything is alright. However, I need your help in something." Jia Hao quickly spoke. " Uncle Lin, Do you have any steel fabrication factory under you?"


    " Well, Why? Of course, we have one. You are talking with the chairman of Lin Constructions, yeah?" Lin Chengughed lightly. " So, What do you want it for? Do you wish to forge something?"


    " Uncle Lin, I hope you remembered about the Treasured Gold, yes?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " You got more of it?" Lin Cheng''s eyes turned wide as he straightened his back.


    " Not at this moment. However, I got something else." Jia Hao smiled. " I think I found a rare type of iron, which would be more durable than any current steel."


    " So, Uncle Lin, Are you interested?"


    " Of course, I am!" Lin Cheng nodded. " Do you have it right now?"


    " I will give you some right now. I hope Uncle Lin can test it tonight?"


    " Very well, I will send someone to fetch it right now."


    Lin Cheng remembered the craze around the Treasured Gold. Thinking of Jia Hao, he felt like he wasn''t any ordinary brat.


    '' I don''t think there would be anything like a special iron. However, If it''s true, then I can make some serious profit.'' Lin Cheng thought inwardly.


    He picked up the phone and made a series of calls.


    Jia Hao chuckled as he ended the call. Soon enough, arge van parked outside of the Su Family mansion. Jia Hao had already prepared a small crate full of Millennium Yin Iron.


    " Here, take this crate. I hope it will be useful."


    The worker''s expression changed when they tried to lift it up. Jia Hao looked at their struggle as he realized something.


    " Fuck! This is so heavy!"


    " How could he lift it with a single hand?"


    " He even looked so rxed."


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that. " Don''t worry, I will help you to lift it up."


    The density and quality of Millenium Yin Iron were pretty high. Therefore, the mass is also greater than ordinary iron.


    As he loaded it in the van, it soon left to the steel fabrication factory.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hahh, Why did the boss ask us to stay?"


    " I thought my shift ended."


    " Damn it! I hate extra work!"


    " Cough, You guys, Stop yapping." The supervisor coughed as he waved his hand. " Boss told me that it''s a confidential work. And you will get paid extra money for this."


    " What? Really?"


    " Suddenly, I don''t feel it''s too bad."


    Soon enough, the van arrived as they took out the crate.


    " Don''t lift it with your hands!"


    " Get a forklift!"


    The workers of the factory didn''t believe the drivers at all. " What the hell?"


    " You want to use a forklift to lift this small crate?"


    " Young men of these days, can''t even lift a box."


    " Get away, I will take it inside." A middle aged worker snorted as he walked forward to lift it. However, the moment he pulled upwards, his expression changed.


    " Uhh¡­Are you ok?"


    " Let me help then."


    "No need, I can lift it up." The man shook his head and lifted up the box. " Let''s go."


    " Damn, He is powerful as always."


    " Haah, I was a bit surprised. But this box is damn heavy." The middle aged worker panted as he walked while holding the box.


    After all, the workers in this factory got more stamina and strength than other people. They are moving heavy things from one ce to another.


    When they opened the box, they looked at the dark iron ingots, making them fascinated.


    " Eh? These are looking like pig iron. However, why are they so heavy?"


    " Heavy? They are also a bit chilly to hold."


    " Yeah. As if they got washed with cold water."


    As they put the iron in the furnace, they were a bit surprised.


    " Huh? Is the furnace temperature low?"


    " No, It''s on regr temperature."


    " Why is it melting so slowly? Increase the temperature."


    " Damn, What sort of iron is it? It''s actually using our furnace''s full temperature."


    " Haah, It''s finally melting."


    As they looked at the molten iron, they were again surprised. The amount of impurity was pretty low. And after that, they turned the iron ingot into billets.


    Even in the molten state, the sticity of the billet was pretty tight. The machines slowly twisted and sandwiched them. By doing that, the grains of the metal would be morepacted and the material would be more durable.


    As they took out the rods and quenched them, all of them looked at it with curious gaze.


    " Wow, such¡­beautiful patterns."


    " Indeed, I have never seen such a thing before."


    " Hey, I have used some of it to make metal wires. Let''s test its tenacity."


    The workers nodded as they tested its durability and tenacity.


    " This¡­This is not real, right?"


    " Is this really iron? Or some new material got discovered?"


    " I don''t know¡­"


    Looking at the data, the supervisor almost fainted from shock. The Millenium Yin Iron performed more than five times better than ordinary iron at the same mass.


    " This¡­Doesn''t that mean it''s the same as twice the work in half of the effort?"


    " No, It''s four times of work in half of effort."

 Chapter 170: Jia Haos Foresight

    " Doesn''t that mean it can be¡­Military grade materials?"


    " Hurry up and call the boss!"


    Meanwhile, It was already dinner time in the Su Family manor.


    " Aunt Su, How is thepany going?"


    " It''s alright, Hao''er. Thankfully, Everything is done today." Su Yunqi smiled. " I can''t wait for tomorrow. Remember that Imperial Green Jade we wonst time?"


    " We are going to show the exhibition of the jade jewelry made of it."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Aunt Su. It will be amazing for you. People going to love it." Jia Hao encouraged her.


    " What is it, Xing''er? Why are you so silent?" Su Yunqi nced at her. " Still troubled about what happenedst night?"


    " Ah, Not really." Su Xing''er shook her head. " Just some casual things. Nothing to worry about, Mom."


    " Mom, it''s been a while since we went outside, no?" Su Lan suddenly asked. " Why don''t we go outside? Like, some vacation?"


    " A vacation? That''s a nice idea." Su Yunqi''s eyes sparkled as she nodded.


    " What do you think, Hao''er?"


    " I am fine with anything, Aunt Su." Jia Hao chuckled. " How about a tropical retreat?"


    " Hmm? Do you want to see us in a bikini?" Su Xing''er raised her brows as she asked.


    " Ah, Xing''er knows me so well." Jia Hao grinned. " Why? I believe all three of you look stunning in it."


    " Wh-What?"


    " You¡­"


    All three of them were speechless when they heard Jia Hao''s candid reply.


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned red. " Oh my, I don''t think I should¡­wear them. It''s not appropriate for my age¡­"


    " Who said that, Aunt Su?" Jia Hao hurriedly replied. " Have you seen your figure? You look like a woman in herte twenties."


    " Oh you, You got such a sweet tongue."


    " I mean, Jia Hao isn''t lying." Su Lan chuckled. " You do look young, Mom."


    " Hmph, Jia Hao, Don''t tell me you have bad intentions regarding Mom?" Su Xing''er smirked.


    " Cough!"


    Su Yunqi almost choked on her food when she heard that. Her face turned crimson. But as she cast a nce at Jia Hao, he looked at her with amusement.


    '' This brat, What is he thinking.''


    Her toes curled as Su Yunqi couldn''t help but think about Ran''s words.


    '' Calm down, Yunqi. It''s just a joke¡­Just a joke.''


    " Wh-What? Jia Hao, Why don''t you say anything?" Su Xing''er felt something was amiss as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " I mean, if I had a chance, I would definitely marry Aunt Su." Jia Hao didn''t hide it. " A woman of her caliber is hard to find, no?"


    " Hao''er¡­" Su Yunqi gulped as she looked at her both daughters. Su Lan nodded first.


    " What Jia Hao said isn''t wrong though. Mom is just like that."


    " Well, She got beauty with brain, wealth with humbleness. What else do you need?" Su Xing''er understood Su Lan''s reasoning.


    " Both of you, Shut up and eat." Su Yunqi finally spoke. " Gosh, You guys are making me all flustered."


    " Hehe, Look, Mom is blushing."


    " Haah? To think I would see Mom turning red. Such a rare sight."


    Jia Haoughed when he saw the scene.


    '' En, I gotta lose up everyone''s guards before making my move. Both mother and daughters should ept each other as sisters, yeah?''


    After dinner, Jia Hao sat back in his room, Before him was a stack of various science and engineering books. Without any dy, he started to read it.


    '' With this, I can build various things in Yun continent, increasing the level of technology there.''


    '' However, rather than giving everything like spoon feeding, I need to slowly develop them.''


    '' So, The first thing we need to make is obviously¡­The cement.''


    '' But taking cement of this world to Yun continent is useless. What I can do is to take the cement, enchant it, and then, mass produce the enchanted cement with Miracle Points.''


    Thinking about this n, Jia Hao started to list down the things he needed to develop in the Great Yan Kingdom.


    '' Now, All that remains is to let Li Qing get the flower and return to the Capital City as fast as possible.''


    The next morning, Jia Hao got up as he walked out of his room after getting all fresh up. He saw Su Xing''er getting ready for her morning exercise.


    " En, Good morning, Xing''er."


    " Good morning, Jia Hao." Su Xing''er nodded. " You aren''ting to the dojo?"


    " Should I?" Jia Hao thought for a moment. Su Xing''er bit her lips. " I mean, It''s not good to neglect your morning exercise, right?"


    " Well, if you say so." Jia Haoughed lightly as he nodded.


    At that moment, Su Lan also walked out of her room. She wanted to go down and greet Jia Hao. However, at that moment, Jia Hao left with Su Xing''er.


    " Hao''er¡­"


    Su Lan bit her lips as she couldn''t help but feel frustrated. '' How could Su Xing''er be sofortable around him? Didn''t she say she wanted a bit of time?''


    '' She is alreadypeting for Jia Hao''s affection.'' Su Lan felt a strange sense of losing as she clenched her fist.


    '' No, I have to do something!''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As they arrived at the Souther Edge Dojo, Jia Hao went to y around in the gym. Thanks to the rise in Southern Edge Dojo''s poprity, a lot of new members joined there to learn martial arts and do exercises.


    Jia Hao was already a celebrity in the gym. So, when everyone saw him, they couldn''t help but greet him.


    " Little Brother Jia, You came today?"


    " Haha, Good morning."


    " Little Brother, wait a minute!"


    Jia Hao turned around and saw it was Cao Ze. " Yo, Brother Cao, How are you?"


    " Better than ever." Cao Zeughed. " And it''s all thanks to you, Little Brother Jia."


    " Huh? What did you do?" Jia Hao was curious as he looked at the Recent Future Point of Cao Ze.


    '' He actually changed it by himself? He didn''t get mugged by his cheating girlfriend and that gym trainer?'' Jia Hao was surprised.


    Cao Ze gave a sad chuckle as he sat down and gulped his protein shake.


    " Well, What happened is¡­"


    Then he exined how he trapped his cheating girlfriend and the gym trainer. Although both of them were released by the police, their chats and videos were leaked on the inte.


    Cao Ze and his friends fanned the mes, showing everyone the true colors of his girlfriend. Her parents dragged her back to the vige and the gym trainer Yang got kicked out of the gym.


    Other than that, a few other men who suspected the gym trainer of cucking them also joined the fray. They gathered around him and beat him.


    The gym trainer was already limping thanks to the beating of Cao Ze and his friends. And now with another round of recent assaults, he gotpletely hospitalized.


    " Haah, I really thank you for all this, Brother Jia." Cao Ze sighed. " Thanks to you, I dodged a huge bullet."


    " Well, This is what bros do, yeah?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    He finally realized where he got that string of virtue. He helped Cao Ze to avoid injustice and saved his life and reputation. And bad guys like the gym trainer and his girlfriend got punished.


    " Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I owe you a big one." Cao Ze smiled brightly. " I am an attorney and my dad is a businessman. So, Brother Jia, If you ever have any troubles, you can contact me easily."


    " Haha, Of course, Brother Cao." Jia Haoughed lightly. " But what''s that bag behind you?"


    " Oh, that? I am treating everyone to a can of energy drink. You know everyone gotta be strong." Cao Ze winked.


    Jia Hao sighed as he smiled. " Of course, But I will have two."


    " Hoho, Go ahead. I am not stopping you."


    Looking at the smile of Cao Ze, Jia Hao sighed inwardly.Although he is smiling, he ispletely crushed inwardly.


    '' However, It''s for his own good. Imagine what would have happened if he got serious with that bitch and get cucked?''


    Spraining the ankle is way better than losing your leg. As long as Cao Ze treats it as a lesson, he will be able to jump farther in his life.


    Jia Hao quickly performed the big three exercises a hundred times before taking a small break. Cao Ze couldn''t help but admire him.


    " Little Brother, You are a real pro. How can you do so much exercise without breaking a single sweat?"


    " Haha, Maybe because I have that innate strength?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. However, I don''t know if it''s ok."


    " What is it, Brother Cao?" Jia Hao was curious.


    " Brother Jia, Do you really know divination?" Cao Ze asked with a low voice. " I mean, You able to tell about my cheating girlfriend without any proof beforehand."


    " So, I wonder if you can see the future."


    " Well, What do you think?" Jia Hao didn''t give him a direct answer, but only a smug grin.


    " Actually, I have an important event in recent future. So, I wonder if I could get some guidance?"


    " Hmm, I mean, I can help." Jia Hao chuckled. " But, Knowing about the future¡­ I don''t do it for free."


    " Of course, I am not asking you to do it for free." Cao Ze hurriedly shook his head. " I can give you an appropriate amount of money if you want."


    " Let me see then."

 Chapter 171: School Flowers Fighting

    Jia Hao activated his Sage''s Divine Eyes as he looked at Cao Ze. All of his information appeared before him. Looking at his Recent Future Point, Jia Hao saw something new.


    [ Recent Future Point: Two dayster, Cao Ze would handle the case of Sui Corporation. However, due to a police officer''s tampering with the proof, he will lose the case]


    " Brother Cao, You took a case of Sui Corporation?" Jia Hao looked at him and asked.


    " Ah, Yes!" Cao Ze hurriedly spoke. " It looks like you know it, huh?"


    " What sort of case you took? I hope it''s nothing illegal?" Jia Hao asked with a raised voice.


    After all, big corporations andpanies always do some dirty work. Jia Hao didn''t want to lose all his virtues just by helping Cao Ze.


    " Not really." Cao Ze chuckled. " I mean, I did take some criminal cases in the past, but this one isn''t among them. So, Brother Jia can be rest assured."


    " I think the court hearing is two dayster?" Jia Hai rubbed his chin. " You already have crucial evidence to win the case. However, It would be best to make a copy of it."


    " Otherwise, Someone might try to temper with it. And due to that, you might lose the case."


    " This¡­" Cao Ze''s eyes squinted when he heard that. Taking a deep breath, he cupped his fist.


    " Brother Jia, You are truly my benefactor. I will never forget your help."


    " This case is very important for me. And your information would be very important."


    " Brother Cao, You don''t need to act like that." Jia Hao shook his head. " However, you can help me."


    " Recently, I am trying to find a new residency. So, I wonder if you can help me?"


    " A new ce to stay, huh?" Cao Ze thought for a moment. " Don''t worry, It will be arranged. My friends are in the real estate business. He can look one for you."


    " How about a vi? Or Little Brother wants an apartment?"


    " You just need to look for a vi for me. I will pay for it."


    " Ahaha, I guess so." Cao ze chuckled. After talking with him, Cao Ze finally left.


    '' Hmm, Cao Ze''s fate interwind with the Baozi Law Firm. If he wins this case, he would be able to join one of the biggest nationalw firm.'' Jia Hao spected.


    After talking for a while, Jia Hao met with Su Xing''er and returned to the mansion.


    " Hao''er, Are you ready?" Su Lan called Jia Hao. " Uncle He is waiting outside."


    " You go with Xing''er, Sister Lan." Jia Hao chuckled. " I am going to take my own car."


    " Wh-What? You aren''ting with us?" Su Xing''er red at Jia Hao.


    " I mean, I need to show off my car a bit, right?" Jia Hao gave a mischievous grin as he walked out.


    " What''s the use of my luxury car if it doesn''t be the eye candy of people?"


    Both Su Xing''er and Su Lan became speechless. However, Su Yunqi approved it. " Well, That''s Hao''er''s gift. And I believe he can maintain it."


    " Therefore, He can drive his car to school."


    Jia Hao grinned, " Thanks, Aunt Su. How about this? I am going to take you with a long drive?"


    " Ohoho, As you wish, Hao''er." Su Yunqi smiled as she saw Jia Hao leaving.


    *VROOOOM*


    The engine of Jia Hao''s car roared as he drove it to the school. The dark beauty was absolutely stunning, making all the passersby look at it.


    Jia Hao already got a driver''s license. And even if he doesn''t have one, He wouldn''t care if he got stopped by the police.


    '' After all, I can simply ask Chu Yunli to help me. His dad is the Head of the Criminal Investigation Department.'' Jia Hao chuckled as he turned on the music.


    Well, People say money can''t buy happiness.


    But, it''s infinitely better to cry in a luxury car with banknotes wiping your tears rather than crying from hunger and homelessness.


    As Jia Hao''s car entered the school grounds, almost all the students'' eyes were struck by it.


    They couldn''t help but look at it with admiration and jealousy.


    The wing like door of Jia Hao''s Imperial lifted as he stepped out. Adjusting his hair, he closed the door and walked leisurely.


    " Damn! Isn''t that Jia Hao from the fourth section?"


    " Wow, He is looking so cool."


    " Not only his car is sexy, but his handsomeness is perfectly matching with the luxury of his car."


    " Hehe, Should I go and ask for his number?"


    " You want to fight with Lin Mei? Don''t you know, She is hooking up with Jia Hao?"


    " Damn it! To think Jia Hao would tame that bitch."


    As he was walking in the corridor, he felt someone patting his back.


    " Gosh, Can''t you show off a bit less?" Lin Mei appeared beside Jia Hao.


    " Says the girl who drives that Pink Pearl Porsche?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but tease her.


    " But that still pales before your Imperial." Lin Mei sighed as she rolled her eyes. " And you, Aren''t you a bit rascal?"


    " What happened?"


    " Well, You bought a new car, but didn''t ask me for a long drive?" Lin Mei huffed.


    " You want to go on a long drive with me?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Oh, Someone is being romantic, eh?"


    " Not romantic or anything." Lin Mei blushed a bit as she exined. " I just want to see how fast your car is. You know, top speed on a highway."


    " Fine, I will invite you someday." Jia Haoughed lightly. " But not right now."


    " Hmph, Mean."


    As they sat in the ss, the homeroom teacher walked inside. All of the students stood up and weed him.


    " Well, Students, Today a new transfer student is going to join us. So, please wee her."


    " What? A new chick in our ss?"


    " Holy shit! I can''t believe it!"


    " Let me adjust my hair real quick."


    " Brother, You can adjust your hair indeed. But what you are going to do about your face, eh?"


    " Bastard, Bold of you to say that with your pig like face."


    " What did you say?"


    Suddenly, the door opened and a girl walked through it. With short ponytail hair, and spectacles on her cute face, the girl looked at the students and bowed.


    She looked pretty adorable, with a face that reeked of smartness. Her body was fair and tender, though her pair of breasts looked a bit too much for her body.


    " Hello everyone. My name is Chu Yunli. My dad recently got transferred to the Eastern Sea City. Therefore, I had to leave my study at the previous school ande here."


    " Please take care of me."


    " Damn it! She is so fucking beautiful!"


    " Ahem, I will be going to get her number first."


    " Nope, It will be me!"


    The homeroom teacher nodded as he pointed at her, " Student Chu Yunli, please go and pick an empty seat."


    " Sister Chu, You can sit here."


    " Sister Chu, You can sit beside me."


    " No no! You should sit here, you can see the ckboard clearly."


    However, Chu Yunli walked toward Jia Hao as she picked an empty seat near him.


    Cheng Guo almost dropped his phone when Chu Yunli sat beside him. However, he sighed as he saw she was looking at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao was also surprised when he saw Chu Yunli here.


    " Yunli, What are you doing here?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Although I know you are going toe here, but¡­Why this ss?"


    " Because, You are here, Brother Jia." Chu Yunli smiled brightly. " Besides, I don''t want to mix with those all genius sses where Xing''er is studying. It was full anyways."


    " Ahem, Everyone, Please focus on the study." The homeroom teacher coughed as he turned around. " I don''t think Student Chu has any study material. So, you can get help from another student."


    Chu Yunli smiled brightly as she looked at Jia Hao. " Brother Hao, Can we share the book please?"


    " Oh? Sure?"


    Jia Hao swallowed his saliva as he nodded. He couldn''t help but feel a strange sensation from those pair of bright and lovely eyes of Chu Yunli.


    However, before he could share his book, a voice stopped him.


    " Jia Hao, I also forgot my book. Can you share your book with me?"


    Chu Yunli''s face flinched as she tilted her head. Her gaze met with another beautiful girl sitting beside Jia Hao, looking at her with equal intensity.


    " Lin Mei, You¡­" Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless.


    " What? Can''t I forget my book?" Lin Mei looked at him. " Or perhaps, you don''t like me anymore."


    " Sister, I believe I asked Brother Jia first?" Chu Yunli spoke with a twitching smile.


    " Sister, I believe, Jia Hao is my friend. So, Why don''t you ask someone else?" Lin Mei also replied with a smile.


    " Sister, Aren''t you too controlling?"


    " Sister, Aren''t you too manipting?"


    Cheng Guo silently took out a packet of snacks as he saw the sparks of electricity flying in the air.


    The other boys in the ssroom also couldn''t help but grit their teeth in jealousy.


    " Damn it! Another one fell for Jia Hao!"


    " Dosgshit!"


    " Heavens are unfair."

 Chapter 172: Evaluating Test Papers

    Jia Hao sighed as he ced the book on the middle. Both Chu Yunlu and Lin Mei adjusted their seats and sat closer to Jia Hao.


    " Both of you can study. But if someone dare to pull the book towards themselves, I will close it." Jia Hao warned both of them.


    Lin Mei and Chu Yunli looked at each other as they snorted.


    " Hmph!''


    " Hmph!"


    Jia Hao turned around and saw Cheng Guo enjoying the scene. Seeing Jia Hao, he gave him a thumbs up.


    '' Damn it, What''s with these girls? They just met and already became so ipatible?''


    As the ss ended, Lin Mei finally got up. Looking at Chu Yunli, she couldn''t help but force a smile.


    " Jia Hao, It looks like you and Chu Yunli know each other? Won''t you introduce your girlfriend to her?"


    " His girlfriend?" Chu Yunli felt a strange feeling in his heart. " As far as I know, Brother Jia has no girlfriends."


    " Then, I guess you don''t know."


    " Haah, You guys¡­" Jia Hao rubbed his face. " Why are you guys fighting like this?"


    " Fighting? Who said we are fighting?" Chu Yunli blinked.


    " Yeah, We are just having friendly banter." Lin Mei replied.


    At that moment, Su Xing''er entered the ss and noticed Chu Yunli. " Gosh, You girl! I am going to beat you today."


    " Ah, Xing''er, I just wanted to surprise you." Chu Yunli pouted.


    " But why didn''t you go to my ss?" Su Xing''er rolled her eyes.


    " Because you had no extra seats?" Chu Yunli shrugged. " Besides, Brother Jia was here. So, I thought I should enroll in this ss?"


    " Ah, So you are Su Xing''er''s friend?"


    Su Xing''er looked at Lin Mei. However, instead of getting angry, she gave a strange smile. " Well, Yeah. Chu Yunli, I guess you probably met Lin Mei, right?"


    " She is a pretty good friend of Jia Hao."


    Lin Mei couldn''t help but feel something strange. She didn''t see anypetative spirit in Su Xing''er''s eyes, only a grin of victory.


    '' What''s that? She isn''t fighting with me over Jia Hao?'' Lin Mei bit her lips as she thought of several things instantly.


    '' It''s like, she felt she already won. Wait, What did Jia Hao do with her, for her to be so calm and sure?''


    " Alright girls, No more fight." Jia Hao shook his head. " Besides, Xing''er, It''s Miss Qin''s ss now. So, you better go back to your ss."


    " Yeah, Whatever." Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " And you, Yunli. We are going to have a long talk afterward."


    " Hehe, Anytime you say, dear."


    Meanwhile, the boys couldn''t help but feel jealous.


    " Damn it, He is ying with three flowers at the same time."


    " What a greedy bastard! Leave something for us too!"


    " Heaven would smite such fellows."


    " Anyway, What do you think? What color stocking Teacher Qin would wear today?"


    " I say ck!"


    " I bet on white!"


    Qin Bingyu already became a hot topic after the incident of Han Yun. She was portrayed as the beautiful goddess of justice in the student forum.


    Not only the students, but even some teachers are drooling at her.


    " Ugh, She looks so he sexy in that suit."


    " Now, Imagine her in that sexy teacher cosy."


    " Bastard! Are you trying to give me an erection in the ssroom?"


    " Why would I? You are already hard on."


    The door slid open as Qin Bingyu walked. Her high heels made the male student''s hearts beat with them.


    " Step on me!"


    " Step on me 2!"


    " I am for third."


    Adjusting her sses, she looked at the ss.


    " Good Morning Teacher."


    " Good morning, students." Qin Bingyu nodded. Suddenly, her gaze fell on Chu Yunli. " Are you the new transfer student?"


    Chu Yunli stood up as she nodded. " Yes, Teacher. My name is Chu Yunli."


    " Well, transferring to another school can affect your studies. So, You have to put some extra effort into your study, alright?"


    " I understand, Teacher."


    Qin Bingyu nodded. But when she saw the dozing Jia Hao, she couldn''t help but smile lightly.


    " Anyway, Everyone please open page number 102. We are going to start with a simple equation."


    After a while, Qin Bingyu turned around. " So, this question, anyone can do this?"


    Chu Yunli instantly raised her hands. " Me!"


    Everyone in the ss looked at her as she walked forward. With a confident smile, she wrote down the answer on the ckboard. Qin Bingyu was impressed.


    " Wonderful! That''s the right answer." Qin Bingyu nodded. " I guess the result of my section is going to be better than the rank one section after all."


    " Lin Mei, don''t you think you should focus on the ckboard than mobile?"


    " I¡­"


    Lin Mei got stumped when she got called out by Qin Bingyu. " What do you mean, Teacher Qin?"


    " Just because you scored well once, doesn''t mean you don''t need to study anymore." Qin Bingyu huffed. " Anyway, Better not get distracted in my ss."


    " Yes, Teacher."


    Lin Mei gnashed her teeth when she saw the subtle mocking smile on Chu Yunli''s face.


    '' That bitch! I will see her!''


    As Qin Bingyu finished the ss, she looked at Jia Hao. " Jia Hao, After the lunch, meet me in the office."


    " Alright, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao smiled brightly.


    After her ss ended, Lin Mei faced Jia Hao. " Jia Hao! I am angry!"


    " Why are you angry?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at Lin Mei.


    " I¡­ Listen to me!" Lin Mei saw Chu Yunli was looking at them, so she changed her tone.


    " It''s been a while since we were a bit intimate, right?" Lin Mei spoke slolwy. "Besides, You promised me toe to my house for a study session."


    " Can''t youe tonight?"


    " Tonight?"


    " I mean, This evening." Lin Mei chuckled as she looked at Chu Yunli. " Besides, It''s not like you didn''t sleep in my house."


    Now, It was Chu Yunli''s turn to fume. '' This¡­This witch! She is leading my Brother Hao astray!''


    " Uhm, Brother Hao, I feel I am a bit behind on the academy sybus. So, I wonder if I can have a study session with you."


    " What? Sister Chu, I believe I asked Jia Hao first?" Lin Mei spoke in an icy voice.


    " Well, It looks like Brother Jia and Sister Lin are pretty close. So, I can borrow him a bit, no?" Chu Yunli shrugged. "Your rtionship isn''t that fragile, right?"


    " I don''t think you know anything about OUR rtionship."


    " Both of you, SHUT UP!"


    Jia Hao and Cheng Guo were ying a game. Listening to both girls chirping, Jia Hao felt he had enough.


    " Lin Mei, Why are you worrying so much? Have you forgotten the basic foundation of our rtionship?" Jia Hao frowned. " I never mistreated you. So why worry now?"


    " And you, Yunli." Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli. " Aren''t you being a bit clingy right now?"


    " Both of you, shake hands and say sorry to each other."


    Lin Mei and Chu Yunli looked at each other with dismay. But Chu Yunli gave up first as she nodded.


    " I am sorry, Lin Mei."


    " I¡­ I guess I was also being a bit too much."


    Cheng Guo couldn''t help but give a thumbs up to Jia Hao.


    " Truly a dragon among the men."


    After the lunch break, Jia Hao walked to the cabin of the Qin Shiyu.


    " Ah, You are here." Qin Shiyu nodded as she saw Jia Hao entering the cabin. " Huh? What''s that you holding?"


    " This dark coffee bubble tea is for you, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao smiled lightly as he passed it to Qin Shiyu/


    Ah? Really? Thank you." Qin Shiyu couldn''t help but smile at Jia Hao''s consideration. " I really needed one now."


    " But, How did you know I like this vor?" Qin Shiyu raised her brows as she looked at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao merely grinned at Qin Shiyu''s words. " Well, I just know a lot of things. It''s just natural."


    " So, Do you know why I called you here?"


    Jia Hao rubbed his chin. But his face froze as he looked at the table of Qin Shiyu. " Teacher Qin, Really? You called me to check the answer sheets of our junior year students?"


    " Aha! You get the right gist." Qin Shiyu smiled brightly as she took a seep. " Miss Sui went for vacation. So, I have to check the math test papers of three whole sections."


    " So, Can you help me?"


    " Well, I mean, I can help you." Jia Hao grumbled. " But I don''t do such boring tasks."


    " Oh? Then what sort of reward do you want, hm?" Qin Shiyu became interested.


    " Hehe, I won''t say it."


    Qin Shiyu shivered as she looked at the gaze of Jia Hao, which was seizing her body. " You brat! What sort of inappropriate things are you thinking?"


    " Inappropriate?" Jia Hao feigned innocence. " I didn''t think anything like that?"


    " Perhaps, It''s Teacher Qin who is overthinking?"


    " You!!"


    Jia Haoughed when he saw the fuming Qin Shiyu. " Alright, Teacher Qin, I won''t tease you anymore."


    " Let''s check the papers now, ok?"


    " Hmph, You better do." Qin Shiyu kept drinking her drink. " I will judge your judgment of papers."


    Jia Hao swiftly activated his Sage''s Divine Eyes as various information appeared before him.


    With his eyes, he could easily detect the errors and swiftly started marking them.


    Of course, Jia Hao isn''tpletely evil. He still gave marks to the students who had written something.


    '' Otherwise, If I start to nitpick, half of them are going to fail.'' Jia Hao chuckled inwardly.

 Chapter 173: Lin Chengs Interview

    It wasn''t like Jia Hao was born with superior intelligence. He only gained the superhuman knowledge only after his cycles of unsessful reincarnations.


    Qin Shiyu''s sipping speed increased when she saw Jia Hao taking barely a minute before marking on the paper.


    " Hey, You aren''t even looking at it properly." Qin Shiyu chided as she took a few of the papers seen by Jia Hao.


    " Jia Hao, I am really going to scold you if you don''t check the papers properly."


    As Qin Shiyu grumbled, she looked through the answer sheets. However, her eyes widened when she saw the markings.


    '' He¡­He actually evaluated everything correctly. And, he even marked somewhat generous in some ces.''


    '' Wait, How could he see an answer sheet this fast? His efficiency is like aputer!''


    Qin Shiyu didn''t believe it and looked at the other sheets. To her surprise, she couldn''t find a single error at all.


    '' Fuck! He is really a genius!''


    " Teacher Qin, I believe you said we are going to check the sheets together?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Now, Why are you leisuring while I am doing all the work, huh?"


    " Uhh¡­Well¡­" Qin Shiyu scratched her cheek as she was also speechless.


    " I think I sprained my arm. So, I am taking a small rest." Qin Shiyu added. " Besides, You should help your teacher sometimes, no?"


    " Only if Teacher Qin asks me¡­Sweetly."


    " What do you mean by that?" Qin Shiyu straightened her back as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Well, Teacher Qin, Aren''t you a beauty?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Shouldn''t you use your charm to make me work?"


    " I¡­I don''t do such things." Qin Shiyu blushed as she red at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao stopped as he looked at Qin Shiyu. Both of them had a silent exchange for a few moments before Qin Shiyu gave up.


    " Hmph, Just this time."


    " Ahem¡­Student Jia, Can you¡­Please, review these answer sheets for me?"


    Jia Hao sighed. " Rather than requesting in such a nd way, you better not request at all."


    Qin Shiyu rolled her eyes. " Are you going to do it or not?"


    " Well, What else choice do I have?" Jia Hao snorted lightly.


    To Qing Shiyu''s surprise, Jia Hao took one hour to review all the answer sheets.


    " Huuu, It''s done." Jia Hao spoke as he leaned back on the chair. " Happy now?"


    " Of course, I am very happy." Qin Shiyu smiled. " That means I will have some free time this evening."


    " You have?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Teacher Qin, Although you are so beautiful, You have no love interests yet, eh?"


    " Wh-Who said that?" Qin Shiyu looked at Jia Hao.


    " You are very bad at lying." Jia Hao shook his head with amusement.


    " So, What if I am single?" Qin Shiyu snorted lightly. " It doesn''t mean anything."


    " Oh, It does, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao added. " It means, you are single and a man might pursue you."


    " Uhh¡­"


    Qin Shiyu''s expression turned odd, but she couldn''t retort.What Jia Hao said was valid after all.


    " So? Are you thinking of pursuing me?" Qin Shiyu asked with an interest.


    " I will."


    Giving a stumped expression, Qin Shiyu couldn''t believe what she heard. " Excuse me?"


    " I mean, Why not?" Jia Hao purposed. " Is it not every male student''s fantasy to hook up with a beautiful female teacher?"


    " Also, Before you say anything, It''s not the sole reason."


    Qin Shiyu was going to retort, but Jia Hao managed to shut her up.


    " Also, You have a nice and upright personality. Your heart is firm and determined. And¡­" Jia Hao smiled. " I just want to help you, Teacher Qin."


    " Help me?"


    " Help you to achieve your dreams? Or should I say¡­revenge?"


    " Were you digging out my information?" Qin Shiyu looked at Jia Hao with a suspicious gaze.


    Jia Hao shrugged. " I just got to know, Teacher Qin. No need to be so serious."


    " There isn''t any information in this world I can''t get. So, You can rx."


    " Hmmm¡­."


    Qin Shiyu didn''t believe Jia Hao fully. However, she couldn''t say anything to him either. After all, her background wasn''t like national level secret. Anyone with a bit of patience can dig out her past.


    " So, What are you going to do with it?"


    " Help you of course?" Jia Hao smiled. " Didn''t I tell you? I am very motivated by the cause of your revenge. So, I will do my best to help you."


    " You are really trying to woo me, aren''t you?"


    " Is there any problem?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Ah, I see, Are you thinking about our rtionship as teacher and student?"


    " Can you not prompt my questions like that?" Qin Shiyu spoke in an annoyed voice.


    " I know you know all my questions. But please, let me speak them, ok?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he nodded." It''s alright."


    Ahem. So I was saying¡­" Qin Shiyu cleared her throat. " Jia Hao, you are a student and I am a teacher. We shouldn''t have such a rtionship."


    " Well, We can." Jia Hao grinned. " After the school, who will judge us, Teacher Qin?"


    " Besides, even in school, everything is fine till we don''t get caught, right?"


    " Y-You!"


    Jia Hao got up but he didn''t let Qin Shiyu raise her voice. " I have to go back to the ss, Teacher Qin. How about talking about this some other day?"


    " Like when?"


    " How about I take you for a coffee?" Jia Hao grinned. " Tomorrow evening. I will send you the location."


    Qin Shiyu couldn''t say anything as she saw Jia Hao leaving her cabin.


    '' Haah, Am I seriously so desperate that I am giving a student a chance to date me?''


    '' I mean, he is kinda handsome though. But like¡­Really?''


    However, Qin Shiyu couldn''t deny the strange thrill that she always felt near Jia Hao.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao already received two missed calls from Lin Cheng. However, he deliberately didn''t respond.


    After the ss ended, Jia Hao called him back.


    " Sorry, Uncle Lin, I was busy in the ss. So, You wanted to talk with me?"


    " Xiao Hao! Where are you right now?" Lin Cheng asked hurriedly.


    " I am at school."


    " Well, Great! How about you pick Mei''er ande to my main mansion?"


    " Ehh?"


    Jia Hao was dumbfounded when he heard that. '' I thought he would ask me to go to office? Why did he ask me to bring Lin Mei with me?''


    '' No way! Is this old man trying to set his daughter with me?''


    Feeling a strange loss of words, Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask. " But what about Lin Mei''s car? Who is going to drive it if Lin Meies with me?"


    " Well, Don''t worry about that. I will send someone to bring it back."


    Jia Hao had no choice but to agree. However, he didn''t have to look for Lin Mei as it was she who came to him with her own ord, with a big smile on her face.


    " Well, Dad called me and asked toe to the mansion with you."


    " Are you sure it''s him who said that and not you who gave him this idea?"


    " What do you think?"


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Hmph, I guess someone is getting too cocky, eh? I guess I need to punish you to put me into your ce."


    " Oh really?" Lin Mei smirked. " Go ahead, Let me see if you can really punish me."


    '' This bitch¡­''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt a stinging sensation as he looked back. He saw Su Xing''er and Chu Yunli ring at Jia Hao.


    He also saw Su Lan looking at her withplicated eyes. However, Jia Hao merely smirked at them as he held Lin Mei''s hand.


    " Well, Let''s go. I can''t wait to punish you."


    Sitting in his car, Jia Hao drove and took Lin Mei to the Lin Family mansion.


    As they arrived, Lin Mei was stunned to see Lin Cheng standing at the door.


    '' I thought Dad just wanted to meet Jia Hao? Why is he looking so eager?''


    " Ahaha, Xiao Hao, It looks like you got a nice car." Lin Cheng saw Jia Hao and Lin Meiing out of the car.


    " Come with me, I asked the chefs to prepare some special dishes just for you."


    " Lin Mei, Why don''t you go and change? You can join us after freshening up."


    " Alright, Dad."


    Lin Mei nodded as she walked upstairs. Lin Cheng smiled as he took Jia Hao to the dining table. Jia Hao could see the various steaming dishes before him.


    Washing his hands, he took a te of crab rangoons and lobster rolls.


    " So, Uncle Lin, What do you want to talk about?"


    " Hoho, You still y such games, eh?" Lin Cheng chortled. " As if you don''t know why I called you here?"


    " So, Uncle Lin, You liked my gift?" Jia Hao chuckled. " May I see the reports of the tests?"


    " Sure, I have it."


    Jia Hao took the reports from Lin Cheng''s hands and flipped it. Although he expected quite a lot, the numbers on the report exceeded his expectations.


    '' Holy shit, this is real? Doesn''t that mean we can make lightweight super alloys with this?'' Jia Hao''s mind raced, but he remained calm.


    " So, Do you understand what this means?" Lin Cheng asked with a bated breath.


    " If I say simply¡­" Jia Hao smirked. " All I can see is limitless profit."


    Lin Cheng''s eyes shone as heughed out." Hahaha! What an answer! I like it!"


    " I have kept it a secret. However, everyone is proposing various ideas. What do you say, Xiao Hao? I believe you already have a n."

 Chapter 174: Production of Military Grade Items

    " I do, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao grinned. " And if you follow it, you can easily make at least five times of profit instantly."


    " Hoho? I would like to hear it then."


    Jia Hao nodded as he proposed various things.


    " First of all, Uncle Lin, You don''t need to use the entire of the Millenium Yin Iron. You can use a small portion and make an alloy with steel. It will do better than any of the current alloy."


    " You can also use the pure Millenium Iron to build various things. Like lightweight vehicles, or smallpartments. I believe with a little design, you can apply patent for them and even get a military contract."


    Lin Cheng thought for a moment before nodding. " Indeed, A government contract for apany is the best thing that could happen."


    " However, this process is generally pretty difficult."


    " Not if you show your product in the right way." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, No one else other than you can make such alloy, right?"


    " Who else they would give the contract to, if not you?"


    Lin Cheng''s eyes shone as the realization stuck in. " Haha! Indeed! Xiao Hao is right! If I monopolize the market, of course only I will make the profit."


    " But Xiao Hao, Where do you get this? How much can you provide per month?"


    Jia Hao pursed his lips. " Uncle Lin, Do you think a person would reveal the location of the gold mine he found?"


    Lin Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard that. " Haha, My bad. I should respect your secret."


    " As for how much I can sell to you, how about 10 tonnes per month?"


    " Wh-What? Only ten tonnes per month?" Lin Cheng''s face was odd.


    " You have to understand this, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao chuckled. " This is a rare type of material and no one could synthesize it yet. It''s even more precious than gold. So, the production would be less, right?"


    " And, I believe with 10 tonnes of raw Millenium Yin Iron, you can easily make 500 tonnes of metal alloy. That''s a good deal, isn''t it?"


    " Hmm, Now you say it, It''s feasible." Lin Cheng nodded after some thought. " Not to mention, we will sell it to only premium customers. So, There would be no issue to make a profit."


    After some discussion, Lin Mei walked down the stairs, wearing a beautiful blue frock.


    " Hey! You guys already started to eat before I came?"


    " Oh, I was pretty hungry, alright?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Not to mention, it''s you who took your sweet time beforeing here."


    " Ugh, You have no shame." Lin Mei sat beside Jia Hao and took some food on his tter. " So, What you guys have been discussing? You areughing like a fool, Dad."


    " Nothing, Just some business talks." Lin Cheng chuckled. " And, Xiao Hao gave me pretty good news."


    " Business talk? Jia Hao, aren''t you a high schooler like me?" Lin Mei cast a side nce at him. " What kind of business talk were you having?"


    " Well, It''s true that I am your ssmate. However, I don''t sit still and do nothing." Jia Haoughed. " A sessful man prepares early, right? I am also doing my best to expand my business is various fields."


    " And thankfully, Uncle Lin chose to sponsor me."


    " Hmph, Narcissist." Lin Mei muttered under her breath as she slurped noodles.


    " So, Xiao Hao, How is Mei''er doing in the academy?" Lin Cheng asked.


    " Oh, Lin Mei is doing¡­alright." Jia Hao nodded. " However, her study can be improved. We are thinking of studying together so I can help her with academics."


    " Ah, I see. That''s probably going to be good." Lin Cheng nodded. " Mei''er did very well in herst test. I hope she does well in the final exam too."


    " Wh-What?" Lin Mei was baffled. " You are letting me go with a bit like that? Weren''t you supposed to act a bit stern or something?"


    " I thought you would be angry if I did that?" Lin Cheng was speechless. " You wanted freedom, right? So I gave you what you wanted."


    " But you didn''t show any concerns, did you?"


    Jia Hao and Lin Cheng looked at each other with dismay, unable to think what to answer.


    " Well, Xiao Hao is a very good kid. He is also your friend, so what could go wrong?" Lin Cheng shook his head. " He already helped you in the past, so he can help you even more now."


    " Yeah, Lin Mei, Are you really afraid of me?" Jia Hao''s lips curled. " Did I ever touch you without any consent?"


    Lin Mei''s lips twitched when she heard that. '' Oh really? Shouldn''t you ask where you have NOT touched yet without consent?''


    She couldn''t help but flush when she saw Jia Hao''s brazenly lewd smile.


    " Ahem, That''s not what I meant." Lin Mei mumbled.


    Meanwhile, Lin Cheng asked various things about Jia Hao and Lin Mei. Jia Hao couldn''t help but think Lin Cheng was already looking at his son inw.


    '' Wow, Am I really such a marriage material?'' Jia Hao sighed inwardly.


    '' Haah, being so handsome and talented is so tiring. It''s truly lonely at the peak."


    " Alright, Jia Hao, Come to my room. We have something to talk about."


    Jia Hao nodded as he followed Lin Mei. However, he couldn''t help but stop before a portrait in the hall.


    Lin Mei sensed it as she turned around. Her face couldn''t help but soften.


    " Beautiful, Isn''t she?"


    " She is your mom?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Haah, How I wish she was here." Lin Mei sighed. " Now, I can''t even remember her face properly."


    Suddenly, she felt a warm hug from behind. Lin Mei shivered, but she didn''t resist.


    " Well, I know you lost her at a pretty young age. But, I believe she would be very happy to see her daughter grow up into such a beautiful woman." Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice.


    " As for her face, you can always remember it by looking at this portrait, right?" Jia Hao smiled. " Because, even if you feel you forgot her, her image will always be in her heart."


    " Mhm¡­Thank you, for your words." Lin Mei leaned back on Jia Hao''s embrace as she spoke softly.


    " Besides, don''t you think she would be so proud to see her daughter getting such a perfect man for her?"


    Lin Mei snorted when she heard Jia Hao''s words. " Hah, really? Do you think she would be happy to see her daughter being a concubine?"


    " Well, No one is the main wife in my life. Everyone is equal in my heart." Jia Hao grinned.


    " AHH!~"


    Lin Mei yelped as she was lifted up by Jia Hao as he carried her to her room.


    " Hmph, Did you forget, You are getting a lot of punishment today."


    Lin Mei giggled as she fell on the bed. Using her legs as a pincer lock, she pulled Jia Hao on her, locking a passionate kiss with him.


    They rolled and cuddled on the bed, making Lin Mei gasp with pleasure.


    " But¡­Not today." Lin Mei panted as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Oh, Why so?"


    " Because I am so full right now that I don''t want to do it." Lin Mei rolled her eyes. But she couldn''t help but blush a bit.


    Jia Hao was dumbfounded, but he nodded. " Fair enough. We really ate a bit too much."


    " Besides, I have to go now."


    " So, Next time?" Lin Mei looked at Jia Hao with anticipation.


    " Tsk, Quite eager, are you?"


    As Jia Hao drove out, he suddenly got a call.


    " Mr, Jia, The things you asked us to make are ready. So, When are you going to pick them up?"


    " Oh? They are ready? How great. Just pack them up and I will receive them right away."


    Jia Hao was ted when he heard that. As he asked, thepany made him 500 pieces of swords, 500 pieces of sabers, 500 pieces of armor, and 500 pieces of spears.


    As he asked them, they don''t need to focus on functionality. They just need to make it look like stylish and realistic props.


    '' Because turning fake into real, that''s the job of Pot of Miracles.''


    As Jia Hao arrived there, the manager hurriedly greeted him with a smile. " Mr. Jia, You are right on time. We just finished packing them in crates."


    Without any hesitation, Jia Hao paid the remaining amount to them. Walking inside, he saw the items with a satisfied nod. " Indeed, You guys did a decent job."


    " Hehe, Thank you for your praise, Mr. Jia." The manager smiled brightly as he saw the amount of money transferring to his bank ount.


    " I have stored them inside the crates. Should I arrange for someone to send it to your ce?"


    " No, I will handle it." Jia Hao shook his head. " You can leave. I will call you if I need something in future."


    " Haha! Of course. It would be a pleasure to work for you." The manager smiled.


    As he left, Jia Hao swung his hand as he collected everything inside his Pot of Miracles.


    '' With this, I can easily make quality weapons for the Cai Family.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    As he returned to the Su Family mansion, he saw other than a few servants, there was none in the living room.


    '' Eh? Both Sister Lan and Xing''er inside their rooms?''


    Jia Hao shrugged as he entered his room. However, he was stunned when he saw Su Xing''er and Su Lan inside his room.


    " Well, What we got here?"

 Chapter 175: Send Me Your Nude

    " Well?"


    " You finally came back, huh?"


    " Enjoyed your sweet little time with that bitch?"


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard the usations of Su Xing''er.


    " What do you mean by that, Xing''er?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Lin Mei''s father invited me to his house. So, I went there to meet him."


    " Oh really?" Su Xing''er snorted. " Why would he invite you? He wants to make you his son inw?"


    " Maybe?" Jia Hao grinned. " I mean, I am such a perfect guy. He obviously wanted the best for his daughter, right?"


    " Hmph Narcisist." Su Xing''er snorted. However, this time, Su Lan intervened. " It''s alright, Xing''er. Lin Mei is also Jia Hao''s friend. He can''t just ignore her, can he?"


    " Bu-But!" Su Xing''er couldn''t help quip. " She is always fighting with me. And she obviously loves Jia Hao."


    " Well, Then talk with her. Why are you getting mad on me?" Jia Hao shrugged as he started to take off his shirt.


    Both Su Lan and Su Xing''er were stunned when they saw Jia Hao''s actions.


    " Yo-You! Shameless! What are you doing?"


    " Taking off my clothes?" Jia Hao looked at Su Xing''er. " I am feeling very sweaty and stuffy, you know?"


    " But can''t you see we are here?" Su Xing''er muttered.


    " So what?" Jia Hao grinned. " This is my room, Xing''er. Besides, it''s not like you never seen me naked before."


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Xing''er, It''s alright." Su Lan smiled. " You don''t need to pester him any longer."


    " Now, go back to your room. I have something to talk about with Jia Hao."


    " Haah. Fine." Su Xing''er nodded as she turned around and left.


    Su Lan looked at Jia Hao as she took a step towards him.


    " Can you just drop it?"


    " Drop what?"


    " Drop that tough facade." Su Lan sighed as she sat on his bed. " Stop tormenting me already. You know I can''t endure such apathy from you, Hao''er."


    " Am I showing apathy?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " You are getting estranged by the rules you made yourself, Sister Lan. Where is my fault in here?"


    " It was you who said no intimacy for a week. So, Where is my fault here?"


    " I¡­"


    Su Lan was speechless when she heard that. " Well, Listen Hao''er. I am sorry, Ok? It was just angry back then and said something."


    " But, I am taking it back now. So, Can you please not ignore me anymore?"


    " Well¡­" Jia Hao put on a yful smile. " You were angry then, right? So right now, I am angry."


    " Go ahead and appease me, Sister Lan."


    Su Lan looked at Jia Hao as she couldn''t help but get stunned. With a smile appearing on her face, she pulled Jia Hao towards herself.


    " Well, Someone getting pretty cheeky, eh?"


    Her finger traced his jawline as Su Lan looked toward Jia Hao. " Are you hungry? Do you want me to make something for you?"


    " No, I am full." Jia Hao replied. " Besides, I am not thinking of having dinner tonight."


    " I see." Su Lan put on a thoughtful expression. " Very well, Then wait for tonight. I will definitely appease you."


    Leaving Jia Hao mystified, Su Lan walked away with a smile.


    '' Huh? What''s she even thinking?'' Jia Hao was stunned. But with a smile, he shook his head. He was pretty eager to see what Su Lan going to prepare for him.


    After getting refreshed. Jia Hao got on his bed and opened hisptop.


    [ Hey, Sister ck Butterfly, Have you forgotten about me?]


    [ Heh, How could I? You really helped me a lotst time! I got a whopping three hundred million yuan!]


    Jia Hao chuckled as he remembered the bounty on the Shadow Hive. he helped ck Butterfly track the address of the stolen hard drive.


    [ Here, I am going to give you 150 million yuan]


    [ No need, Sister. I don''t need it]


    [ Oh yeah?] ck Butterfly gave a rolling eyes emoji.


    [ How can I forget? You are a filthy rich young master. How could such a pocket change be worthy for you?]


    [ Hehe, It looks like you know me pretty well?] Jia Haoughed out loud.


    [ Yeah, I am notcking any money. However, If you want to pay me, you can pay me with other things]


    [ Other things, like?]


    [ For example, some spicy pics of yours?]


    [.... I am going to fucking block you]


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but imagine the blushing face of the ck Butterfly.


    [ Well, A pic of your worth of a hundred and fifty million yuan. Doesn''t that mean you would be the most sought after woman in this world?]


    [ No thanks, I don''t have any intention to be an only fans model]


    [ Well, What if I am your only fan?] Jia Hao still pushed forward.


    [ Come on, I am not asking for face face reveal. A little something else would be fine too]


    [ Yo-You!!!]


    After a while, Jia Hao suddenly got a picture. It was a one time picture. Jia Hao opened it and saw a pair of feet.


    Such soft and petite feet, adorned with nail paints. However, Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless.


    [ Sister, You think I have feet fetish?]


    [ You don''t? I thought that''s the fantasy of most perverts?]


    [...This time, I am blocking you] Jia Hao rolled his eyes and typed.


    [ You didn''t ask me if this is a real photo or a random pic on the inte?] ck Butterfly asked curiously.


    [ Of course, I still have an awesome basic faith in you, Sister ck Butterfly.] Jia Hao replied.


    [ I know you would rather not send any picture than give a fake picture]


    [ ¡­.Hmph! Sweet tongued bastard! If you want to trade pics, give me one]


    Jia Hao''s lips curled as typed out.


    [ I am in. But what do you want to see? My face, you''ve already seen that. Do you want to see my neck? My abs? Or¡­Should I go lower?]


    [ I don''t want to see you wriggling worm, lil bro]


    [ Oh, Who knows if it''s a worm or an anaconda?]


    Jia Hao took off his clothes as he stood before the mirror. Snapping a picture, he sent it to ck Butterfly.


    Well, Sending nude was the least crazy thing Jia Hao did anyway. So, he wasn''t bothered if it got leaked onto the inte. And he was sure ck Butterfly wouldn''t do it.


    [ Huh? You sent me a picture?]


    *After a few seconds*


    [ AHHHHH! MY EYES! YOU BASTARD! YOU FUCKING SENT ME YOUR NUDE?]


    [ MY EYES! MY SANITY! YOU MADE ME IMPURE!]


    [*SOB* *SOB* You bastard! Now, How am I going to marry? You sullied me!]


    Jia Hao grinned when he saw that.


    [ Well, I thought you wanted to trade pictures? Here it is. Besides, don''t tell me you didn''t enjoy it]


    [ Hmph! I didn''t! I DID NOT!]


    [ Beside¡­That was real? Like¡­Fuck, You didn''t photoshop?]


    [ Wanna have a video chat?]


    [ ¡­No]


    Jia Haoughed when he saw ck Butterfly.


    [ Anyway, I have already seen enough cursed shit today. I am going to sleep]


    [ No goodnight for you]

 Chapter 176: Su Lan Going To Appease

    Jia Haoughed when he saw the message. " Task, she is pretty cute, eh?"


    '' But I just need to surprise her two more times to get an achievement. Too bad I didn''t learned hacking and otherputer skills in my various lives.''


    Turning down, Jia Hao scrolled through his phone and called another person.


    " Well? I didn''t expect you to call me at this hour?"


    " Were you busy, Sister Feng?"


    " Nope, Just doing some work. It''s not thatte." Feng Yunshiughed lightly. " So, Tell me, Why did you call me?"


    " Can''t I just call you for nothing?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " You can, but I know you won''t."


    " Fair enough." Jia Hao chuckled. " So anyway, I wonder if Sister Feng can do something for me."


    " What is it, Brother Hao?"


    " Enlist apany in my name."


    There was a moment of silence before Feng Yunshi replied. Her voice was a bit frantic, filled with both shock and amazement.


    " Yo-You want to enlist apany? Like, You want to make apany and be its CEO?"


    " Well, That''s what I mean."


    " Wh-Why? Or¡­How? I thought you were going to university next year?"


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " You are talking like I can run apany and go to university simultaneously. Besides, going to university is just for fun, you see."


    " Haah, I see." Feng Yunshi sighed. " Sometimes, I just can''t see through your motives."


    " Anyway, What''s thispany going to do?"


    " It will be the parentpany." Jia Hao proposed. " There would be multiplepanies under it."


    " Hmm, I can arrange that. However, What is it you going to sell?" Feng Yunshi couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    " First, selling special military grade metal to Lin Constructions and Real Estate. And next, making expensive and life saving medicines."


    " Are¡­Are you sure?"


    " Of course, I am, Sister Feng." Jia Haoughed. " Have I ever done anything unsure?"


    " Got it." Feng Yunshi sighed.


    " I will send you the documents tomorrow. It will take a day or two, but there won''t be any problem."


    " Well then, I have another thing." Jia Hao nodded. " I have gotten some special herbs in my hands. You know, those old and rare herbs. And I have extracted their essence."


    " So, I will give you the samples. And I hope you can test it out."


    " Extract of ancient herbs, you say?" There was an unusual spark in Feng Yunshi''s voice.


    " That''s very interesting. Our Heizhou Corporation is also researching this field. I will send someone to fetch them from you tomorrow."


    " Well, Sometimes I wonder if you are really just a neen year old boy."


    " Am I not?" Jia Hao gave a cheeky grin. "You''ve already seen me in real, right?"


    " Haha, Yeah. But you still give me a strange¡­Unusual feeling."


    " If you want to learn more about me¡­Why not stay close to me and work for me?"


    " Am I not working for you?" Feng Yunshi snorted lightly.


    " No, I mean¡­Why don''t you be my secretary?" Jia Hao asked with a yful voice. " I will pay you very generously."


    " Being your secretary?"


    Feng Yunshi was startled. However, she didn''t reject Jia Hao''s idea instantly.


    " Well, Let me see the potential of yourpany first." Feng Yunshi replied.


    " If I find it good, Maybe¡­"


    " If that''s the case, then I shall be waiting for you, Sister Feng."


    Ending the call, Jia Hao took a deep breath.


    '' It would be best if Feng Yunshi agrees. She is the best secretary I can find right now.''


    A beautiful, smart and cunningdy, Feng Yunshi fulfilled all three requirement for Jia Hao. And, he believed Feng Yunshi can manage all hispanies perfectly.


    To trade the items of both worlds, Jia Hao would need a guise as apany. As long as there was apany under him, no one could see the source of the materials which were being bought and sold.


    He also decided to purchase a small pharmaceuticalpany under him. There, he can develop various medicines and other things from the material of Yun Continent.


    After all, suchrare herbs can enhance the human body and mind and cure rare diseases too!


    On the contrary, he also needs to build a food corporation to get food items and bring them to the Yun Continent.


    Soon enough, he would build the world''s biggest conglomerate.


    '' And then, I willmit tax fraud like big old guys.''


    As he ended the call, Jia Hao searched on the inte for various articles.


    After all, he can''t directly bring modern things to the Yun Continent without any consideration.


    Yun Continent had superior raw materials while the Azure Sea World had powerful creative tools. If both are merged, Jia Hao would be an unparalleled businessman in both worlds.


    '' Huh? What''s this?''


    Jia Hao was instantly attracted to a channel. The view was small, but the girl was actually showing how to prepare homemade shampoo and soap.


    " Hey guys, and Today I am going to show how to make homemade soap with just three ingredients."


    " These three are basics. You can add everything ording to your taste. However, I believe the alkaline element is enough to scrub the oil and dirt from your skin easily, with flowers easily giving fragrance."


    Jia Hao immediately subscribed to that girl. " Damn, That''s some good content. I can easily make such soaps and shampoo in Yun Continent."


    " Mmm, But I should bring some samples there first. After all, the shampoo there is very different from modern ones. And I doubt there are any soaps in the Great Yan Kingdom."


    Jia Hao mumbled as he clicked on an instant grocery app and ordered a bunch of things.


    However, at that moment, his door opened as Su Lan walked inside his room.


    Looking at him with a surprised gaze, Jia Hao chuckled. " What is it, Sister Lan? It''s alreadyte."


    " Well, I thought you wanted to be appeased?" Su Lan pursed her lips.


    She was only wearing her bath towel, hiding what she was really wearing beneath it.


    " Are you ready?"

 Chapter 177: Taking Double Virginity *R-18* (Part-1)

    Jia Hao raised his brows when he saw that. Su Lan turned around and closed the door.


    She was wearing a bath towel, making Jia Hao curious about what she was wearing beneath it.


    " My my, You are already getting eager, hm?" Su Lan pursed her lips as she slowly walked towards Jia Hao. " I guess I am more desirable than I thought."


    " I never denied that." Jia Hao gulped as he replied." But, Sister Lan, Didn''t you say,No intimacy¡­"


    " Nope, I never said that." Su Lan smirked. " Maybe it''s you who heard wrong."


    " But¡­What about Su Xing''er?"


    " Xing''er is busy in her room. And, Mom isn''ting back tonight." Su Lan stood before Jia Hao as she ced her hand on his chest.


    " So, We can finally have some private fun tonight."


    Jia Hao''s grin widened when he saw that. " Well, Since Sister Lan is insisting, who am I to stop you?"


    " That''s the spirit."


    Su Lan slowly unfurled the tie of her bath towel, making it slide down like a waterfall.


    Jia Hao''s breath turned faster as his eyes widened with shock and arousal. Su Lan''s cheeks turned red when she saw the instant bulge in Jia Hao''s shorts, making a proud tent.


    She only wore a ck lingerie, with garter belt and stockings. Hercy bra and sexy thong barely hid any important part, letting Jia Hao''s eyes feast on her body.


    " Yo-You are looking too¡­ intensely." Su Lan blushed as she spoke in a small voice.


    " Oh, How can I not?" Jia Hao''s smirk widened. " You are looking so goddamn sexy in this attire, Sister Lan."


    " Well, This is something you selected after all." Su Lan chuckled.


    Jia Hao stood before her, standing while facing her. Their gaze met, with sparks of desire and lust. Holding her waist, Jia Hao pulled Su Lan into his embrace, their lips sealed each other.


    Su Lan felt her body turning warm as Jia Hao''s tongue twisted with her tongue. As the seconds passed, their kiss became more and more intense.


    " Unngh!~"


    She moaned softly, feeling Jia Hao''s palms kneading her perfect round ass while kissing. His touch with his kiss, was like a strong wine, making Su Lan dizzy just from that.


    " I am sorry, Sister Lan. I treated you quite coldly these few days."


    " Ungh¡­It''s¡­Alright." Su Lan gasped as she broke the kiss. Her hands moved as she slowly took off the shirt of Jia Hao.


    " I also have my share of faults.So, How about we forgive each other?"


    " It''s alright, I was never angry with you." Jia Hao replied with a smile. " However, I really like thepensation you were giving to me."


    " Hehe, It''s just beginning, dear."


    She pushed Jia Hao onto the bed and pulled down his pants, letting his cock spring free.


    Looking at the magnificent piece of manhood, Su Lan couldn''t help but feel her thongs moistening.


    As her hand slowly stroked it, thezy and soft meat slowly grew into a stiff and hard shaft.


    " Not bad, You are already so eager." Su Lan smirked as she kept stroking it, revealing the pink tip of the spear.


    She could feel the pulsing shaft of Jia Hao, with the veins around it hardened like carvings.


    Lowering her head, Su Lan gave a soft peck on the tip of Jia Hao''s rod, making him gasp slightly.


    " Sister Lan¡­You are such a¡­tease." Jia Hao muttered as he saw Su Lan slowly stroking and kissing his shaft.


    " Oh, I thought you like it?"


    Su Lan smirked as she kept nting soft kisses on Jia Hao''s cock, as if she was apologizing for all she did till now.


    Opening her mouth, Su Lan''s eyes met Jia Hao''s eyes with a yful gaze as she lowered her head, slowly taking Jia Hao''s cock in her mouth.


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he could feel the moist mouth of Su Lan wrapping around his cock. Slowly, she started to move her head, as she took the entire thing inside her mouth.


    He could feel her tongue slowly teasing the rim of his tip, with her moist mouth slowly sucking his cock more and more.


    Her head bobbed up and down while she fondled his pair of jewel sacks with her fingers. Her mouth was like a soft vacuum, trying to suck everything out of Jia Hao''s throbbing manhood.


    '' Fuck! She is good at this!''


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he enjoyed the feeling. However, no matter what, he is a proud man. He can''t give in instantly.


    Su Lan felt Jia Hao''s resistance as she smirked. With a soft pop, she pulled out her mouth, leaving a trail of saliva connecting her lips with Jia Hao''s shaft.


    " Well, How about I try something new?"


    Slowly, she cupped her breasts and pushed Jia Hao''s shaft between them. Jia Hao shivered as he felt softness crushing his shaft from all directions.


    Since she was wearing a bra, the tightness of her cleavage was no joking matter. Yet, Su Lan was surprised when she saw Jia Hao''s manhood peeked out, even after getting buried between the valley of her twin mountains.


    '' It''s so big and thick...It can''t be even buried by my breasts.''


    Slowly, she started to move up and down her breasts, making Jia Hao''s shaft throb violently. Feeling the excitement, Su Lan moved her breasts faster and faster as they sandwiched Jia Hao''s shaft.


    " How does this feel, hum? I believe Xing''er can''t do this."


    " Haah! Sister Lan¡­You are really giving¡­you all, huh?" J


    ia Hao panted. Suddenly, he saw Su Lan lowering her head.


    Her tongue flicked out yfully as it gently licked the tip of Jia Hao''s meat popsicle. Jia Hao closed his eyes as he felt he already reached his limits.


    " Nnnhh, Sister Lan¡­I am¡­cumming!"


    *PSSH!~*


    Su Lan didn''t flinch as she felt the eager throb of Jia Hao''s shaft. Suddenly, thick ropes of white fluid spurt out, covering her face and her breasts. It continued for a few seconds till it stopped, bing slightlyid.


    Licking her lips, Su Lan savored Jia Hao''s essence seductively. She slowly took off the hook of her bra, letting her breasts and Jia Hao''s shaft free.


    Despite unloading a load, Jia Hao''s shaft remains standing proudly. Su Lan gave a gentle kiss to it. " What a naughty fellow. It needs more, hm?"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath to calm his excitement. He slowly got up and held Su Lan.


    " Well, This time, I will take the lead."


    " Oh, You sure will." Su Lan grinned. But as Jia Hao was about to pull down her thongs, she stopped her.


    " No¡­Not here."


    " Huh?"


    Jia Hao was confused when he heard that.


    '' Not here? That means¡­''


    Su Lan blushed when she saw the gaze of enlightenment of Jia Hao. Biting her lips,she turned around and bent over the bed.


    " I¡­ I always wanted to give you something Xing''er didn''t give. So¡­"


    Jia Hao''s shaft was a bitid. However, looking at the scene before him, Jia Hao felt his blood burning with excitement and vigor, as if he ate a millennium old blood ginseng.


    The thong wasn''t hiding Su Lan''s anus at all. And rather than a pink hole, Su Lan''s anus was filled with a heart shaped gem. Jia Hao clenched his fist as he couldn''t believe his eyes.


    '' Fuck! Su Lan is so fucking bold!''


    Jia Hao grinned as he pressed it, turning it on. Suddenly, it started to buzz.


    " NNGHJHH!~"

 Chapter 178: Taking Double Virginity *R-18* (Part-2)

    As the strange device buzzed, Su Lan''s entire body trembled with a strange ecstasy. Jia Hao spread her perfect ass, slolwy squeezing them like doughs.


    " Tsk, Sister Lan, I neverthought you would be so bold." Jia Hao gently patted her snow white ass.


    " Forgive me that I resented you earlier. You are such a caring big sister of mine. How can I not treat you the best?"


    " Ohh, You rascal." Su Lan moaned as the buzzing of the device became more and more.


    " Hurry up¡­Don''t make me¡­wait!"


    " As you wish, Sister Lan."


    *PLOP!*


    " HNGHH!"


    Su Lan gasped out as Jia Hao pulled out the plug. Jia Hao couldn''t help but look at the gaping round hole before him, eagerly waiting to be filled.


    Rubbing his shaft, Jia Hao took a deep breath. He used his own fluid as lube. And he also used a bit of lotion inside the hole.


    After all, anal is pretty rough, and a slight mistake might make the pleasure turn into pain.


    Spreading the soft ass cheeks, Jia Hao slowly shoved his cock inside her asshole.


    As the tip entered, Su Lan''s expression changed.


    " Nnngh! It''s¡­It''s going in!~"


    Holding her waist, Jia Hao pushed bit by bit. When he felt everything was right, he gave a straight thrust, burying his entire thing in Su Lan''s forbidden hole.


    " HHNGHHH! IT¡­IT''S IN!~"


    Su Lan moaned loudly as she felt Jia Hao''s shaft carving its way into her anus. As he slowly started to move, she could feel her hole widening to amodate Jia Hao''s manhood inside.


    " Ungh! Sister Lan¡­It''s so tight!" Jia Hao gasped as he started to increase his pace.


    It was like a pleasure hole, with a vortex of bliss slowly sucking his cock inside.


    He held both of Su Lan''s arms and yanked them like reins, making his shaft hit the sweet spot hidden in depth.


    " OOMPHH!~ IT''S SO¡­UNNGH!~ GOOD!~"


    Jia Hao grinned as he could see the trails of pleasure juice slowly sliding down from her thighs. Her thong was already soaking wet, clinging to her pussy while outlining it.


    " Sister Lan! You are so good!"


    *PAA! PAA!*


    Her ass rippled as Jia Hao pped on them, making red palm imprints appear on them. Su Lan moaned loudly as her inner walls clenched, making Jia Hao almost give up.


    " So, You like it, eh?" Jia Hao gasped he kept pounding her.


    " Haahh! This¡­This feels so¡­Nnngh!~"


    Su Lan''s breasts swung wildly as Jia Hao kept railing in her ass. It was like a perfect fit of her, making her reach the heights of ecstasy.


    '' Fuck! Fuck! This is¡­so mind numbing! That vibrator¡­It''s nothingpared to his thinggggghh!~''


    While panting, Su Lan felt her wet thongtching against her folds. The friction of it against her nub made her lose control.


    " Unghh!~ Hao''er! I am¡­I am cumming!"


    " I am cumming too!~"


    Su Lan could feel a rush of warmth inside her anus as Jia Hao pulled out instantly. She fell on the bed as her legs trembled violently.


    " Haah! Haah, That was¡­That was terrific¡­" Su Lan mumbled.


    " Ngh? Where are you going?"


    Su Lan saw Jia Hao going into his bathroom anding out. However, the next moment, she felt his strong arms holding her waist and lifting her hips a bit, making her look like she was kneeling on the bed.


    She remained bent, with her perfect ass stretched upwards, presenting itself to Jia Hao.


    However, Jia Hao''s goal is now another hole.


    " Hnnngh? Hao-Hao''er! Wh-What are you doing?"


    She asked in a panic as she felt the familiar hard thing poking her. But this time, it was parting her aching pussy, instead of her anus.


    " Heh, I just went to wash it for a bit." Jia Hao grinned. " Gotta stay hygienic, right?"


    " AHHHNN!~"


    Her pussy was already wet. So, Jia Hao didn''t have any problem at all as he pushed his shaft inside.


    With a moderate pace, his spear charged forward, gantly breaking through the sacred gates of Su Lan''s maidenhood.


    It was more epting than her tight asshole, yet the tightness and sticity were simply amazing.


    Tears jerked in her eyes as Su Lan cried out in a strange pain mixed with ecstasy.


    Blood dripped from her folds as Jia Hao hugged her from behind. Both of them panted, as Su Lan regted her breath.


    " You¡­You took my virginity¡­two times, huh¡­"


    " Is there any¡­problem in this?" Jia Hao grinned as he panted.


    " Stop being¡­Cheeky and¡­start moving."


    Jia Hao grinned as he held her arms from behind and started to move.


    *PAA! PAA! PAA! PAA!*


    " AHNN! AHNNN! THIS¡­SO FUCKING GOOOD! ANNHHHH!~"


    With Jia Hao''s powerful momentum, each of his thrusts created ripples on the perfect ass of Su Lan.


    He could feel her getting wet and all slippery inside, making his speed faster and faster.


    The sound of their sweaty bodies pping against each other, with their moans and panting, created a lustful symphony.


    " Ahhnn! Ahhnnnhh~ Hao''er¡­His cock¡­It''s so big!''


    '' It''s like it''s turning my pussy inside out, making it mold into its shape.''


    '' Fuck! I thought I heard girls can''t¡­orgasm easily. I already¡­came thrice!''


    Jia Hao''s manhood was like the master key of her hole, hitting all sweet spots at once. She feltpletely packed and fulfilled, making her


    " Haah! Haah! Sister Lan! I am about to¡­"


    " Let''s¡­go¡­together!"


    Su Lan''s eyes rolled back in pleasure as she could feel Jia Hao''s cock head pressing hard against her sweet spot. A gush of warmth flushed inside her, filling herpletely.


    " Nnggghh! Haannnn!~"


    With a soft pop, Jia Hao pulled out his thing from Su Lan''s hole, making the remaining fluid drip down.


    As a yful punishment, he took his phone and clicked a photo. Lying beside Su Lan, Jia Hao showed it to her.


    " Rascal¡­.You even took a picture!"


    Su Lan crawled on Jia Hao''sp as she couldn''t help but pinch her cheek.


    She was super embarrassed to see her picture, where she was kneeling on the bed, with her both holes filled with Jia Hao''s potent essence.


    " Don''t worry, We shall keep it as a memento." Jia Hao grinned as he stored it inside his secret folder.


    " Wait! We¡­We didn''t use any condoms!"


    Suddenly, Panic set in Su Lan''s mind as she looked at Jia Hao. Jia Hao also feigned a gasp.


    " Oh my, What if you get pregnant?"


    " I¡­I don''t know what to do." Su Lan clenched her fist. " But¡­I will keep this child!"


    Jia Hao chuckled at her determined tone. " Well, Luckily, You can''t get pregnant for now."


    " Huh? Why?"


    " Hmm, Think it a special technique of mine." Jia Hao gave a mysterious smile.


    After all, he used his internal energy to refine his essence, making sure it would not procreate any life. It''s an ancient technique where no contraception was used, other than one''s own power.


    '' I am not entirely opposed to having a child though¡­'' Su Lan muttered inwardly.


    As they were basking in their afterglow, the door suddenly opened.


    " Huh?"


    " ?!!!"

 Chapter 179: Sisterly Talk

    Both Su Lan and Jia Hao were stunned when they saw Su Xing''er standing outside their room. Her face was flushed red as she was quivering.


    " Xi-Xing''er¡­"


    Su Lan was at a loss as she tried to scramble the bed sheets to cover her. However, Jia Hao didn''t bother as he looked at Su Xing''er.


    " Yo-You guys! You guys are so fucking loud!"


    Su Xing''er snorted. " And Elder Sister, no need to hide your body. Why be ashamed after you have already done the deed?"


    " Bu-But I¡­"


    Su Lan wanted to say something. But she felt her brain was still pretty fuzzy. Suddenly, She felt Jia Hao pulling her into his embrace and making her lie down on his bed.


    " You must be tired, Sister Lan. You should rest." Jia Hao spoke with a soft smile as he kissed her forehead.


    Su Lan blushed as she saw everything Jia Hao did, right before Su Xing''er''s eyes. Although both of them agreed to share Jia Hao, she couldn''t help but feel the situation was very awkward.


    Jia Hao got up as he walked towards Su Xing''er.


    " Want to go out?"


    " Please, Can you wear your pants?" Su Xing''er snorted. " Or, are you nning to run naked in the mansion?"


    " Well, Aunt Su isn''t here. So, I don''t see any problem." Jia Hao grinned. However, he still wrapped a towel around his waist.


    Su Xing''er and Jia Hao walked down as Jia Hao entered the kitchen.


    " What are you doing?" Su Xing''er asked with a curious voice.


    " Well, preparing for some nutritional drink for both of you?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Sister Lan is physically exhausted and you are¡­mentally."


    " All thanks to you." Su Xing''er quipped.


    " But¡­I thought, Elder Sister made a rule. That¡­"


    " Well, She made it." Jia Hao cut Su Xing''er. " However, What she did was because of you, Su Xing''er."


    " Wh-What? Because of me?" Su Xing''er was surprised. However, Realization slowly dawned in his mind.


    " She¡­She thought I was stealing you away from her?"


    Jia Hao sighed, but he answered with his sigh. Su Xing''er felt a strange loss.


    " I¡­I didn''t mean that. I just¡­ I just wanted to¡­"


    " Rather than exining to me, why not talk with her tomorrow?" Jia Hao looked at her. " Why not have a heartfelt conversation with your sister, without hiding anything?"


    " Haah, That''s actually a good idea." Su Xing''er sighed. " You are right, Jia Hao. I should talk with Elder Sister."


    " But anyway, What are you making? Ice tea?"


    " Just see¡­"


    Jia Hao put some ice cubes in sses and then, added some crushed mint, basil, and sparkling water. After adding a bit of honey, he took a spoonful of ginseng extract from his Pot of Miracles and added it to the shaker.


    After shaking them a bit, he poured them into both sses.


    " Here, try this."


    Su Xing''er was surprised as she held the ss and took a sip. Her eyes turned wide as a spicy refreshing taste attacked her tastebud.


    " Ugh, Is this ginger ale or something?" Su Xing''er muttered as she took another sip.


    However, this time, she tolerated the spice. And this time, she felt the refreshment spreading through her entire body. With sparkling water and mint, she could feel her cells were being rejuvenated.


    " Shit! This is dope!"


    She couldn''t help but yelp in surprise. She is an athlete, so she knows how energy drinks work. And at this moment, she could feel her entire body getting energized.


    " Take another ss and bring it to Sister Lan. She must be pretty tired." Jia Hao replied.


    Su Xing''er nodded as she took the ss.


    " But¡­How did it feel?"


    " What?"


    " Her¡­Uhm¡­Ass?"


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard Su Xing''er''s question. However, a grin spread across his lips.


    " Well, Xing''er, Such things can''t be exined through words."


    Jia Hao grinned. " How about this? Should we try it next time? I am sure you will like it."


    " Hmph! Pervert!"


    Su Xing''er snorted as she turned around to leave. " I am not as naive as my Elder Sister. Hmph! I will not fall into your honey trap."


    " We shall see that."


    Jia Haoughed as he saw Su Xing''er leaving. Looking back at the kitchen counter, his expression became thoughtful.


    '' Interesting. So the extracts of the herbs can be drunk without refining them into pills?''


    '' However, without turning them into pills or medicinal elixir,bining their effects would be impossible. One can''t simply drink various types of essence and let them mix in their stomach, right?''


    Jia Hao knew that there were various professions in the Yuj Continent, like alchemists, treasure forgers, array formation masters, and talisman masters.


    '' But, Azure Sea World also has such professions. Although, I doubt their mastery reached the level of Yun Continent''s people.''


    '' But, What if I buy such books and bring them into the Yun Continent? Will it get enchanted?''


    '' I have to try this no matter what.''


    Thinking about that, Jia Hao hurriedly walked out and got his car. Soon enough, he reached an old library in the city. Walking inside, Jia Hao instantly used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    Since it was an old library, there were various old and ton books inside it.


    " Young man, It''s alreadyte."


    A middle aged woman walked towards Jia Hao. " You shoulde back tomorrow."


    " I want to purchase a book." Jia Hao looked at her.


    " Right now?" The woman was stunned. " Which one?"


    " Hmmm, How about¡­.All these?"


    Jia Hao hurriedly picked five books and looked at her. The middle-aged man looked at the books with a strange expression.


    " Young man, don''t fall into feudal superstitions." She berated Jia Hao. " Although most of the things in these books are fake, Some might be real."


    " And believe me, You would not like the result if things like these get awry."


    " Miss, I am actually writing a thesis on feudal superstitions. Therefore, I need some books as references." Jia Hao smiled.


    " And, I am willing to pay a thousand yuan for all of them."


    " A thousand yuan? Young man, That''s too much." The middle aged woman shook her head.


    " No, I believe it''s not much." Jia Hao handed her the banknotes. " I appreciate your effort of preserving such an old library and looking after these old and precious books."


    " Haha, You got a glib tongue, Young man." the middle aged womanughed.


    " Fine, go ahead and take them."


    As Jia Hao left, he looked at the books with a bright smile.


    '' Art of Geomancy, Eight Trigram Mirror Divination, Great Dipper Chart, Talisman Art of Heaven and Earth and Ancient Pill Refining Fortu.''


    '' Even if one of them gets enchanted, it would be pretty good.'' Jia Hao nodded as he returned back to the mansion.


    .


    .


    .


    " Fuck, It''s so aching down there."


    Su Lan didn''t even want to get out of the bed. She wanted to wear clothes, but she realized she came to Jia Hao''s room while only wearing lingerie.


    She barely went to the bathroom to clean herself. After that, she returned and fell on Jia Hao''s bed.


    However, the musky smell of Jia Hao''s body still lingered, making her feel a bit feverish.


    Covering her body simply with bedsheets, She remained on Jia Hao''s bed.


    " Leave it, you won''t be able to feel your legs for a while."


    Su Lan was surprised when she heard Su Xing''er''s voice. Instinctively, she covered her body.


    " Come on, Sister. It''s not like we''ve never seen each other naked." Su Xing''er rolled her eyes.


    " You also picked that line from Hao''er?" Su Lan asked with a chuckle.


    " You can say so." Su Xing''er replied as she passed the ss to Su Lan.


    " Jia Hao prepared some energy drink for you. Drink it."


    Su Lan held and took a sip. Instantly, she couldn''t help but take a few sips more.


    " Slow down, it''spletely chilled." Su Xing''er chuckled. " If you drink fast, your brain will freeze."


    " But, It tastes refreshing, isn''t it?"


    " Yeah¡­I feel like my energy is slowly being restored. I am not feeling lethargic anymore." Su Lan mumbled. " But this ache¡­"


    " It will go away. Just try not to think about that."


    " You also felt that?"


    " Of course." Su Xing''er muttered.


    " We did like, four rounds without any break. And, you saw how I was walking in the morning, right?"


    " He is quite a beast on the bed, isn''t he?" Su Lanughed lightly.


    Su Xing''er couldn''t help but nod. " Yeah, He doesn''t consider about us at all."


    " Oh Xing''er, you can''t say like that." Su Lan shook her head. " He might be a bit too much passionate, but he does take care of us. He never acts forcefully and makes the process enjoyable andfy for both parties.


    " Hehe, So you already grasped that in a few hours, eh?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but tease her.


    " Anyway, I never thought you would be so bold, Elder Sister. Both holes at once? I only saw that in... porn."


    " Well, I only thought of doing backdoor today." Su Lan sighed.


    " Who would have thought Jia Hao would have the energy to go for my pussy after having a blowjob and anal session?"


    " Tsk, Can''t you see how much of a bad influence is he?" Su Xing''er quipped. " You never uttered vulgar words even before me. But now, you are talking so crass."


    " Well, It''s not like I couldn''t utter them." Su Lan corrected Su Xinger. " It''s just that I am feeling prettyfy and free right now, Do I need to maintain my elegant persona?"


    " ¡­I guess not." Su Xing''er nodded.


    " And that thing¡­"


    Su Lan blushed as Su Xing''er pointed at the crystal vibrator lying on the side of the bed.


    " When the fuck you did even buy that?"

 Chapter 180: Powerful Weapons

    " I¡­ I was just searching for some tips regarding¡­anal sex, ok?" Su Lan mumbled.


    " Some said it would be best to train the hole a bit before the deed, so¡­it won''t hurt much."


    " I saw an online shop selling that, so I bought that yesterday."


    " You are really faster than I thought." Su Xing''er sighed.


    After a moment of silence, both of them looked at each other and spoke at the same time.


    " Elder Sister, I am sorry."


    " Xing''er, I am sorry."


    Stunned, they looked at each other.


    " Uh, Xing''er, Why are you saying sorry?"


    " No, Elder Sister, Why are you saying sorry?"


    Su Lanughed lightly as she finished her drink. " Alright, Let me say first."


    " It was because I made the rule of no intimacy with Jia Hao. Yet, I was the first one to break it. I am so sorry. But I just¡­can''t endure without Jia Hao''s warmth."


    " As for me¡­" Su Xing''er sighed. " I feel it was because of me, you felt insecure. We should have discussed Jia Hao''s matter more properly. However, I didn''t do that, letting you think I am trying to snatch Jia Hao from you."


    " I¡­I didn''t think like that." Su Lan sighed. " However, I did feel jealous of you. I mean, you and Jia Hao were so close."


    " However, now thinking back, It was so shallow."


    " If I was in the same position as yours, I would have thought the same." Su Xing''er replied.


    " So, From now on, There shall be no secret between us, ok?"


    " Deal?"


    " Deal!"


    Both of themughed out loud as they looked at each other.


    " However, Don''t you think Jia Hao should restrain himself?" Su Xing''er muttered.


    " He is truly like a beauty ma, attracting random chicks from here and there."


    " But can we stop him?" Su Lan sighed." He is so upfront about his sexual desires. And we agreed to it. So, if we stop him now, won''t that be hypocrisy?"


    " So, You want him to create a harem?" Su Xing''er was speechless.


    " Well, I believe he would get tired from ying around." Su Lan smiled. " And when that happens, It would be us near him, not other girls."


    " Wow, you are so farsighted, Elder Sister." Su Xing''er''s eyes sparkled. " So, You mean, All we have to do is to consolidate our position in his heart?"


    " And, We shall be the queen of his." Su Lan chuckled. " He would never abandon us."


    " You know the ancient saying, Don''t let the fertile water to go to others fields."


    " Hmhm, I agree."


    Su Xing''er nodded. " No matter what, We need to establish rules. Especially that bitch Lin Mei. I need to show her who is the boss."


    Both sisters discussed various things. However, the poor Su sisters didn''t know that their next biggest rival was going to be¡­


    Their own mom.


    " Anyway, I am not feeling getting up today." Su Lan sighed. " I am going to sleep here."


    " With him?"


    " Uhm¡­Why don''t you sleep with me?" Su Lan chuckled.


    " And kick him out of his room?" Su Xing''er pped. " Good idea!"


    " Wait, I didn''t mean that¡­"


    Su Lan tried to stop Su Xing''er, but she already hopped away.


    " This girl¡­"


    In the end, it was Jia Hao made apromise. Su Xing''er and Su Lan slept in his room as he slept outside.


    Su Xing''er asked him to sleep in her room, but Jia Hao refused.


    " No need for that. Besides, I have some work to do too." Jia Hao waved his hands.


    Soon enough, he walked out and slept on the sofa. He closed his eyes and found himself in darkness, with gray mist around his feet.


    '' Well, I have 300 Chaos Points. And I need to distribute everything evenly to the main materials.''


    '' The remaining shall go to enchant the books I have bought, as they are not the primary focus for now.''


    Jia Hao was stunned when he saw the items in his hands.


    '' Wow, Things be better than they look.''


    [ Silver te Armor: A slight enchantment from the ornate armor. Lightweight and durable. However, the sustainability might be an issue]


    [ Hundred Tempered Sword: A Damascus sword which has been tempered by a hundred times. Unparalleled sharpness and lightweight make it perfect for foot soldiers]


    [ Reinforced Spear: Powerful spear with a superior tip and ancient wood as base. Perfect for vanguards for pushing forward]


    [ Roaring Wind Sabers: A saber which is made of cold iron mixed with Wind Chasing Ores. Despite the heaviness, the internal energy can make it lighter and more devastating. It can be barely considered as a magical treasure]


    [ Thousand Tempered Greatsword: A rare greatsword with various runes embedded on its surface. Made with Lightning Steel and quenched in ancient spring water. A low rank magical treasure perfect for those with blue internal qi]


    Jia Hao was stunned when he read their descriptions. He had 300 Chaos Energy points. Therefore, he spent most of them on the weapons while remaining ten points on the five books.


    '' Too bad, this pot is fucking cunning. It enchanted one or two items per box, instead of enchanting the entire box''s contents.''


    '' However, I already have temtes of these treasures. As long as I have the ingredients, I can mass produce all of these.''


    In terms of quality, the Thousand Tempered Greatsword is the best. Below ites the Roaring Wind Saber, followed by Hundred Tempered Sword. The Reinforced Spear and Silver te Armor had very ordinary enchantment.


    But Jia Hao already got a better result. So, he wasn''t bothered by them.


    As he looked at the books, his expression couldn''t help but be odd.


    '' All books remained the same except the book about pill refining.''


    Jia Hao picked it up and saw the contents inside it changed.


    [ Records of Myriad Herbs and Pills: A rare book that contains the records of various herbs, their location, and effects. There are also some pill recipes, which can be used on various asions. A great book for medicinal practitioners]


    " Hahaha! Fuck! To think I willgain such an unexpected surprise!" Jia Hao was ted. " It only took 2 Chaos Energy points and an ordinary rubbish book about ancient alchemy to transform into a legit one?"


    That''s what people call luck. Jia Hao spent hundreds of points on armor and spears, yet their enchantment was small. Yet, this book became copper to gold.


    Jia Hao got off from his bed and took out the Thousand Tempered Broadsword. His expression squinted as he realized it was far too heavy.


    Although he can lift it using his physical strength, fighting would be a bit harder. So, he revolved his internal energy and empowered his body.


    Suddenly, the weight of the greatsword lessened as Jia Hao was being able to swing it easily.


    However, as he tried to pour his energy into it, he felt the broadsword was obstructing it.


    '' Fuck! So I still can''t use the items which are enchanted by the Pot of Miracles, huh?'' Jia Hao cursed out loud.


    He remembered the conditions of the Pot of Miracle as he couldn''t help but get frustrated.


    Even the knowledge enchanted by the Pot of Miracle was harder to learn. Despite Jia Hao''s Divine Sage''s Eyes, learning even the most basic enchanted thing would be harder.


    '' That''s why I didn''t learned the new Eight Trigram Palms. Yet, Su Xing''er and Jiang Ruoyou learned it so fast.''


    '' So, It''s not my intelligence orprehension which iscking. A higher power is obstructing my advances.'' Jia Hao concluded.


    He put the broadsword into the Pot of Miracle and got off. He walked out and saw it was already morning.


    As he walked out of the room, Jia Hao saw a few maids working the courtyard.


    " Huh? Young Lord, You are back."


    " Shall I fetch some cold water for you?"


    " No need, I am fine." Jia Hao chuckled. " Where is Yixue? Tell her I want to meet her."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he walked to the garden. Sitting on a stone chair, he enjoyed the morning sun.


    '' Hmm, The sun in Yun Continent is more intense than Azure Sea World. But now, since I have be powerful, It''s not hurting much.''


    Jia Hao took out two small bottles and ced them on the table. As he was adjusting them, Cai Yixue walked into the garden, with Minmin following her behind.


    " You have returned?"


    " Good morning, Wife. You look beautiful as always." Jia Hao grinned.


    Cai Yixue didn''t blush as she sat before Jia Hao. However, her eyes sparkled when she saw the ss bottles.


    " These¡­These are crystal sses?" Cai Yixue pointed at it. " The surface, They are so smooth and¡­clear."


    " You don''t have clear ss?" Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at Cai Yixue.


    " The crystal ss is a rare resource, whiches from fat west. Only a few merchants of wests and the elves of elven first know how to make clear sses."


    " Elven sses are impossible to get hands on. As for the other crystal sses. Even the smallest one costs over fifty thousand taels of gold."


    " What? You have elves here?" Jia Hao was rmed when he heard that.


    '' Damn, Elven girls? Where do I need to go?''


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but think of various elven princesses and queens he always fantasized about.


    Cai Yixue and Minmin''s expressions turned odd. " Young Miss, Son In Law Jia is thinking something weird again." Minmin quipped.


    " Yeah, I can see that."


    Cai Yixue snorted, making Jia Hao snap back to his senses.

 Chapter 181: Shampoo

    " I¡­ I didn''t mean anything like that." Jia Hao hurriedly rified. " I was just thinking about the nonhuman races and interested in elves."


    " The elves live in the Evergreen Forest which was situated right outside the Great Yan Kingdom''s northwestern border. Just like Nanhai Mountain, it''s filled with various monsters. But, It''s elves who rule there."


    " Beyond the Evergreen Forest is the Storm Sea, which disconnects the western continent from our nation." Cai Yixue replied.


    " The Hundred Pearl City on the shore is made by the immigrants from the western continent."


    " Talking about the elves, they are apletely prideful race. They don''t mingle with humans and even tryto harm them."


    " However, The First Emperor used his army to drive away them and capture theirnds. So, they forged an agreement with the Imperial Family."


    " However, humans and elves are hostile as humans and demonic race."


    '' Truly a world where a hundred races mingle.'' Jia Hao took a deep breath. However, the desire to explore this world became more and more fervent in his heart.


    " Anyway. So, you are saying that such a crystal ss is precious?" Jia Hao raised his brows.


    " Of course, such fine pieces of ss can be used as the showcase item for nobles. After all, the Great Yan Empire doesn''tck them."


    " Well, That''s not the selling point here." Jia Hao smiled. " Open the bottle. The real treasure is inside it."


    Cai Yixue took the bottle and sniffed. Her expression changed a bit as she took a deep sniff again.


    " This, This smells amazing. It''s like¡­various flowers crushed together, with their essence extracted." Cai Yixue replied. " Is this some sort of perfume?"


    " This is called shampoo, something you can wash your hair with." Jia Hao exined. " As for the fragrance, it will make your hair scented like this."


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    Both Minmin and Cai Yixue were stunned and shouted at the same time. Jia Hao nodded. " Minmin, Bring a basin of water. We can test it right here."


    Minmin nodded as she hurriedly rushed to fetch arge basin of water. Despite her stature, She can easily do such manual jobs.


    cing the basin on a stool behind Cai Yixue, Minmin adjusted Yixue''s hair and slowly poured water on it.


    As she applied the shampoo, both Cai Yixue and Minmin were stunned to see such a great amount of foam.


    " Wh-Whoa? This feels so nice." Minmin took a scoop of foam and sniffed it.


    As she was going to taste it, Jia Hao hurriedly called her out.


    " Wait! Don''t eat it!" Jia Hao was speechless. " Why the hell are you trying to eat it?"


    " This smell nice though?" Minmin argued.


    " Well, It''s the hair gunk of Cai Yixue, not some food." Jia Hao teased her. " Oh, Such a little pig you are. It seems I forgot that."


    " Yo-You!!" Minmin puffed her cheeks." Young Miss! Look! Young Lord is bullying me!"


    " Alright, Both of you, Calm down." Cai Yixue sighed. However, she also enjoyed the feeling of foam on her head.


    Jia Hao gulped a mouthful of saliva as she saw Cai Yixue''s clothes were getting all wet. Her shoulds and chest were all wet, her clothes sticking to her skin in a seductive way.


    Cai Yixue remains there with closed eyes. But, she seemed to feel Jia Hao''s gaze, making her flinch a bit.


    After all the washing, Minmin presented Cai Yixue with a mirror, letting her see her hair.


    " This¡­.This is so miraculous." Minmin muttered as she couldn''t help but y with Cai Yixue''s hair.


    " Young Miss, Your hair feels so¡­ smooth and silky. Not to mention, the fragrance¡­the gentle fragrance is much better than that medicinal smell."


    " I know, right?" Cai Yixue was also stunned. " My hair feels pretty light and frilly. This fluid is so¡­amazing."


    " I know, right?" Jia Hao grinned. " So, What do you say, Wife? Did you like my present?"


    " I¡­ I¡­" Cai Yixue seemed to be stunned for a moment before lowering her gaze.


    " Thank you¡­I like it."


    Her voice was small, theplete opposite of the cold and dominating Cai Yixue of the Cai Family.


    After all, which woman doesn''t like make-up? Which woman would refuse anything that would make her look more beautiful and presentable?


    Therefore, Cai Yixue felt a deep appreciation for Jia Hao''s gift.


    Jia Hao looked at Minmin, who was looking intensely at the shampoo bottles.


    " Minmin, Do you want them?"


    " Hu-Huh? Me?" Minmin was surprised. " Young Lord, Aren''t they like¡­Super expensive?"


    " Well, They are¡­But your Young Lord is feeling pretty generous." Jia Hao grinned.


    " So, If you can please me, I will give you a bottle."


    Minmin was stunned before taking back a step.


    " Yo-Young Lord, Even if I am your maid¡­You can''t call me to¡­service you like this¡­before Young Miss."


    " ??!! What?!?"


    Cai Yixue''s gaze instantly turned odd as she looked at Jia Hao, who was sitting with a stunned face.


    " I didn''t mean any sexual favors, Damn it!" Jia Hao hurriedly shook his head. " Minmin! Stop twisting my words!"


    " But you told me to¡­please you?"


    " Yo-You!!" Jia Hao''s face turned dark when he looked at Minmin. " Don''t you have any other way to please me?"


    " Oh, Yeah! That''s right!"


    Minmin walked behind Jia Hao and started to massage his shoulders. Leaning forward, she gently requested in his ears.


    " Young Lord, you are such a powerful yet benevolent person. Can this lowly maid have some of that miraculous shampoo?"


    Jia Hao closed his eyes as he enjoyed the massage. " Now, That''s something. Yeah, That''s the right spot."


    " Hmm, Since my little maid is asking me, I should give you some." Jia Hao nodded. " Wife, the bottle with the remaining half, Minmin can take it."


    " You can take the full bottle one and present it to Mother in Law."


    " This one is for mother?" Cai Yixue was stunned. " Thank you, Husband. Mother would definitely like it."


    Jia Hao could see the small smile on her face. " Now, Wife, Imagine we start to sell this. How much can we earn it?"


    " It depends." Cai Yixue replied instantly. " Such a product is luxury. So, only the nobles can buy it. So, even if we sell t hem to the nobles, we can make a big profit."


    " What if we can sell it to themoners?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Like, the normal ones are for themoners. While there would be special versions for the nobles."


    " The normal ones would cost ten taels of gold. While the there would be fifty taels, hundred taels, and thousand taels ones."


    " So, in this way, How much can you think we can generate?"


    Cai Yixue''s breathing became hard when she heard Jia Hao''s ns.


    " You¡­You want to sell such a vast amount?" Cai Yixue asked with a curious tone. " Who going to make so much of these shampoos?"


    " Well, I just gave you the n. As for how to implement it, we shall see it." Jia Hao stretched his arms.

 Chapter 182: Using Spiritual Qi

    " I am going to practice my internal art for today." Jia Hao got up and turned to leave. " Minmin, Can you go and call Old Yang? I wish to spar with him this afternoon."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    As he left, Cai Yixue and Minmin looked at each other. Minmin opened her mouth to say something, But Cai Yixue shook her head.


    " Don''t ask me anything. Just like you, I also don''t know anything."


    " But shampoo is a nice thing though." Minmin sighed. " Oh, How I wish to have a considerate husband like Young Lord."


    " Then why don''t you go and marry him?" Cai Yixue nced at her. " It''s not like we didn''t nned that before¡­"


    " Young Miss, What are you talking about?" Minming blushed as she hurriedly looked around.


    " I¡­I mean, I will follow if you want that. But¡­ Young Lord¡­He is so good. And, I don''t want to¡­uhm¡­feel cheated."


    .


    .


    .


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he sat cross legged. He slowly started to revolve his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts. His Internal energy slowly circted through his body like a warm current, making him feel rejuvenated.


    '' I have umted quite some virtue. But it''s nowhere enough for a perfect foundation.'' Jia Hao sighed as he looked at it.


    In the Virtuous Pilgrim Chapter, It''s written that a better virtuous foundation is best before ascending to the next realm.


    The better the foundation, the further a practitioner can go in this path. Therefore, all the monks who practice this technique go on pilgrimage and toil for five to ten years before making a better foundation.


    Then another few years before they ascend to the next stage.


    '' However, There is no way I will wait a decade to advance.'' Jia Hao snorted inwardly. '' Hmm, But on the contrary, the Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts is going well. It''s absorbing various emotions and converting them into desire qi on its own.''


    '' It will take me a month or two at most to grow my tree of desire inside.''


    '' Hmm, I am intrigued by the soul energy though. The so called spiritual energy is the power that stems from one''s soul. Technically, The Six Desires Myriad Thought Art is a mental cultivation technique.''


    '' Does that mean I can use it to control my spiritual qi?''


    Thinking to experiment with this, Jia Hao took a deep breath as he cleared his mind. He started using the Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    Suddenly, he could feel each of his desires bubbling in his heart, as the image of the tree of desire in his mind.


    Raising his hands, Jia Hao tried to use the spiritual qi, the power that stems from his soul.


    Suddenly, his thoughts churned as he felt a strange powering out of his body.


    He was sitting with closed eyes. However, at that moment, it was like he could perceive things within a few centimeters of his circumference.


    Suddenly, his concentration wavered as Jia Hao felt the desire qi inside the tree of desire fluctuate, making him open his eyes.


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he tried to calm his beating heart. '' I¡­I feel drained a bit like I usually feel when I use the desire qi to influence people''s minds.''


    '' Ugh, I guess I am not proficient in channeling the spiritual qi yet. If I try to use more of it, the desire qi will get triggered, influencing my thoughts.''


    The Six Desires Myriad Thought Art is a double edged sword. If one manages to grasp his seven emotions and six desires, he can conquer anything.


    However, if one falls prey to his desires, he would be nothing more than a monster with base instincts.


    Actively, desire qi won''t harm Jia Hao or influence his thoughts. However, if Jia Hao remained careless and let the desire qi mix with his soul, his personality and thought process would change greatly.


    However, Jia Hao found its counter in the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts.


    Unlike the Six Desires Myriad Thought Art, the buddhist monks simply suppress their desires and break the shackles that bind them to the mortal world.


    The Calm Heart Sutra written in the Golden Arhart Vajra Body Art is perfect for clearing one''s thoughts and attaining the state of meditation.


    Closing his eyes, Jia Hao slowly chanted the Calm Heart Sutra. Suddenly the desire qi subsided inside his body and retreated back to the tree of desires.


    Jia Hao felt a strange calmness in heart as if he was standing like a pure lotus amidst the mud swamp.


    The gentle wind, the light fragrance of the earth, Jia Hao felt as if he was bing one with the world, aways from all desires¡­


    Jia Hao opened his eyes after a few moment as he looked at his surroundings. '' I feel much better now. Not only it makes my mind and sould attain calmness, it restores my spiritual qi, althought slightly.''


    '' Both techniques are the bane of each other. Yet if used at the same time, both canpliment each other.''


    The natural energy of the Yun Continent was much higher than the Azure Sea World. Therefore, his Jia Hao cultivates the internal energy here, it would be much faster.


    He could feel the energy of surroundings turning into a small whirlpool, and getting sucked inside his dantian.


    The energy flow inside his body became greater and greater as Jia Hao immersed himself in the practice.


    The Profound Awakening Stage is all about refining one''s personal energy and merging their body with the energy. Once all of their internal qi bes one with their physique, they can ascend to the Innate Master Realm.


    '' But the thing is, What is my internal qi?'' Jia Hao''s expression turned odd when he thought about that.


    The blue qi is for those with good defense and heavy weapons, the red qi is for those who are good at attack and lighter and deadlier weapons, the violet qi is for agility and senses, especially good for archers and assassins.


    As for the spiritual qi, they are good for elemental power and spell castings. Technically, they aren''t the same as internal qi as the power stems from the soul itself.


    '' But what about me? My internal qi is white¡­with a tint of gold? It''s like fresh milk color.''


    Jia Hao pondered for a moment and realized it must the the pure Yang energy cultivated by the buddhist monks.


    The Yang energy is the purest and more righteous energy in this world, sourced from the sun itself. The Yang energy refines is innately perfect for males and makes their physique better and more masculine.


    Not to mention, the monks use this yang energy to repel evil and destroy darkness. So, the pure yang energy imbued with the buddhist aura became the light wheat color internal qi inside Jia Hao.


    '' Too bad there aren''t many buddhist spells or techniques written in this chapter.'' Jia Hao sighed.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao took a deep breath and took off his upper robe. Hopping lightly, he used the Fading Moon Steps as he disappeared from his spot.

 Chapter 183: Training With Old Yang

    *SWISH! SWISH!*


    His figure moved like a gust of wind as he ran across the courtyard. His figure flickered here and there in the courtyard, showing his unusual speed.


    After a while, Jia Hao paused his steps and evaluated his technique.


    '' Hmm, the agility of the Fading Moon Step is great. However, I am making a lot of noise as I am running on my feet. There should be no noise while using this technique.''


    Since he absorbed the technique directly from the Moonlight Rapist, all Jia Hao needed to do was to get ustomed to that technique.


    Thanks to the Fading Moon Steps and disguise techniques, The Moonlight Rapist managed to evade the martialmunity and the authorities for far too long.


    It was because the Fading Moon Step is both a powerful movement technique and a concealment technique. No sounds, no leakage of aura, perfect for assassins and criminals.


    Jia Hao pondered for a moment before adjusting his technique. After that, he took out the Thousand Tempered Greatsword and began his sprinting.


    After a while, Old Yang entered the courtyard as he wanted to meet Jia Hao. However, he was stunned when he saw Jia Hao''s movement while holding the greatsword.


    " Haah! Haah!"


    Jia Hao kept swinging the greatsword while using the Fading Moon Steps, making his body more flexible and movement more refined.


    Pausing his steps, he noticed Old Yang and smiled at him.


    " Your movement technique is amazing, Young Lord." Old Yang couldn''t help but praise. " But I don''t think it''s Cai Family''s Sliding Water Footwork?"


    " Haha, Indeed, It''s not." Jia Hao didn''t hide anything. " This technique was used by the Moonlight Rapist. I took the technique from him and learned by myself."


    " No wonder why no one could catch him." Old Yang sighed. " However, To think you learned so much in less than a month."


    " Well, am I not a genius?" Jia Hao grinned. " Anyway, Come here and see this."


    Old Yang walked to Jia Hao and held the greatsword. Lifting it up, he couldn''t help but praise.


    " Haha! Such a good sword! It might be even better than mine!"


    " Try injecting your internal qi."


    Old Yang heard Jia Hao and nodded. Suddenly, his expression changed as he waved the sword. Focusing on his power, Old Yang gave a thrust.


    " HAAAH!"


    *SWIISSHH!*


    A crimson ray shot out from the greatsword as it severed two pirs in the courtyard. With a loud noise, those two pirs cut into two halves, crashing on the ground.


    " Interesting! So there are some magic diagrams etched on the surface of the de?" Old Yang was surprised. " Although I can use it well, if given to the knight or heavy armored soldier, they can perform better."


    " Too bad, such a greatsword must be expensive. Right, Young Lord?"


    Old Yang looked at Jia Hao with an excited face. However, all he saw was an odd expression.


    " What are you looking at?"


    Following Jia Hao''s gaze, Old Yang paused as he saw the broken pirs.


    " How much they cost? Those woods must be precious?" Jia Hao spoke in a cid voice.


    " I¡­I didn''t mean to do that." Old Yang stammered as he looked back at Jia Hao.


    " Well, Madame Li is renovating various parts of the estate. I believe you can repair this." He spoke slowly. " Besides, those were gotten old anyway."


    " This will be cut from your monthly sry." Jia Hao replied.


    " Yo-Young Lord, Can you not?" Old Yang was speechless. " You are already earning so much. Can''t you spare this old servant?"


    " Heh, Really?"


    Jia Hao chuckled. " Anyway, Come and sit with me."


    " I have something I wish to talk to you about."


    " What is it, Young Lord?" Old Yang asked in a curious voice.


    " How many soldiers are in the Silver Lightning Cavalry right now?"


    " Around 3000 soldiers?" Old Yang replied instantly.


    " What about their equipment? Are they using old equipment or new ones?"


    " Well, I have to admit the equipment might have gotten older. But, I believe they can use it."


    Jia Hao shook his head. " First of all, take some money and make the horses ready first. Make sure they eat nutrients and their hooves are perfect."


    " Silver Lightning Cavalry is the backbone of the Cai Family. We can''t let them weaken."


    " Aside from them, how much normal soldiers we can gather instantly?"


    " Around ten thousand?" Old Yang replied. " The Cai Family is a military general family. So, We can summon the troops of ten thousand instantly."


    " However, we have equipments of only two thousand soldiers. The rest were sold during the financial crisis."


    " But now, As Patriarch Cai ordered, we are going to use our iron ores to exchange armors from the capital city."


    " No need for that. Don''t we have cksmiths in our smithies?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes.


    " Well, they are¡­But¡­"


    " Ask them to meet me. I am going to talk with them." Jia Hao replied. " To improve, The Cai Family has to be self sustained. The more we be less dependent on others, the better it will be."


    Old Yang understood Jia Hao''s reasoning as he nodded. " I shall call the cksmiths by today''s evening."


    " Very well." Jia Hao nodded.


    " However, before you go, Why not have a spar with me?"


    Old Yang was surprised when he heard Jia Hao''s request. However, he nodded with a smile.


    " It will be my pleasure, Young Lord."


    Not long after, Jia Hao was lying on the ground, with various bruises on his body.


    '' Fuck! Old Yang didn''t show any mercy.'' Jia Haoughed inwardly.


    He used a real sword while Old Yang used an wooden sword. However, he didn''t held back like Cai Yunhai.


    Old Yang''s cultivation already reached Half step Innate Master Realm. All he need is a push to make him advance forward. However, such chances are rare, maing a lot of people unable to reach the Innate Master Realm in their lifetime.


    " Young Lord, Are you alright?"


    Jia Hao got up and saw it was none other than Minmin. " Eh, I am good. Just prepare some warm water for me. I will take a bath."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    Minmin helped him to get up and take him back to his room. After a while, two maids came and poured warm water into the bathtub.


    " Heh, You already became the headmaid of this house, yeah?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but tease her.


    " Not really." Minmin sighed. " The one with most power is Steward Liu, below him is Miss Ching, who is the head maid of Lady Li."


    " But I have to admit, after Young Miss got married, my power increased."


    Jia Hao walked into the bathroom but saw Minmin following him inside.


    " What? Are you going to take bath with me?" Jia Hao raised his brows

 Chapter 184: Bathing With Minmin

    Minmin stammered when she heard that. " Young Lord, I¡­I mean, I can help you scrub your back."


    " You never did though?" Jia Hao asked in confusion.


    " Well, It''s something¡­Young Miss reminded to me." Minmin blushed as she replied.


    " Generally, All the young lords have their personal maid who serves them everywhere. However, Young Lord has no such maid."


    " It would be pretty inappropriate for your title to do such a thing. So, Young Miss asked me to serve you."


    Jia Hao was speechless when he heard that. However, he still shook his head.


    " You know, Although I teased you quite a lot, I never forced you. You don''t need to do this."


    " No, Young Lord! I am¡­" Minmin shouted. " I am doing this with my own volition. Please, Allow me to serve you."


    "...Sigh, Since you are asking so much."


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes as he walked into the bathroom. Standing before a bronze mirror, he looked at his own blurry reflection.


    Minmin stood behind him as she helped him to take off his clothes.


    She couldn''t help but admire the muscles rippling below Jia Hao''s body.


    Jia Hao wasn''t a giant with a buffed body. He was pretty lean and tall, but his muscles were simply well defined. Every part of his body was perfectly proportional, making him absolutely handsome.


    '' This¡­This is Young Lord''s fragrance¡­This is¡­so¡­''


    Minmin clenched Jia Hao''s robe as she couldn''t help but mutter inwardly.


    " What are you doing?"


    " Ah, I am sorry." Minmin snapped back to her senses. " I just got a bit distracted."


    " Well, It can''t be helped." Jia Hao chuckled. " After all, I am so handsome and perfect. You can be easily distracted by me."


    " Young Lord, Are you always like this?"


    Minmin couldn''t help but be speechless. However, she had to admit that Jia Hao had the capital to be arrogant.


    Jia Hao didn''t turn around as he was naked, getting into the wooden tub filled with warm water.


    Minmin stood behind him as she poured water on his body. After that, she started to scrub his back.


    Enjoying the massage, Jia Hao clicked his tongue. '' Ah, Feudalism is truly so...sinful. But I like it.''


    " Young Lord, You are really so handsome and schrly. You must have passed the Imperial Examination easily, no?"


    " Well, If I had given the Imperial Examination, wouldn''t I unt my schr badge on my robe?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " What? Does that mean, You didn''t take the Imperial Examination?" Minmin was stunned.


    " Just because I didn''t take the Imperial Examination doesn''t mean I am not smart." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " It''s just that I didn''t feel like giving it."


    " I mean, With Young Lord''s intelligence, you can easily be a third rank official." Minmin replied. " It''s just that Patriarch might not like it."


    " Why? Father in Law hates the officials?" Jia Hao leaned back on the edge as he asked with a smile.


    The struggle between the political faction and military faction is nothing new. Those battle hardened veterans hate the scummy y in imperial politics.


    Meanwhile, the ministers and officials hate the martial world and military, calling them muscle brains with no elegance.


    The Emperor has his own troubles. He had to control both factions properly, without giving chance to the other party to usurp him.


    " Indeed, Patriarch Cai never liked those officials and ministers. He said that they had never seen the battlefield, yet taking big decisions regarding it."


    " Not to mention, the previous Minister of Finance didn''t fund the army led by the Cai Family, leading a big fight between the military faction and political faction."


    " Heh, Minmin knows quite a lot of things, eh?" Jia Hao chuckled. He turned around and faced her, " Have you used the shampoo I gave to you?"


    " Well, Not really. It''s still inside my pouch." Minmin shook her head.


    " Then why don''t you join me bath?" Jia Hao teased her. " Don''t tell me maids can''t do that?"


    Minmin''s face turned red like an apple when she heard that. " Th-That¡­I¡­I¡­"


    " Hehe, I am just jok-"


    " I guess¡­Since Young Lord is asking¡­I should¡­join you." Minmin replied in a soft voice. " Besides, I¡­I can''t bathe you properly from outside."


    " Wh-What?"


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard the reply of Minmin. He could hear the rustling of clothes, feeling Minmin was slowly undressing herself.


    " Minmin, Don''t you think you are acting a bit weird today?" Jia Hao spoke hurriedly, without turning to her.


    " I¡­ I am just doing as Young Miss asked me to do." Minmin replied in a low voice.


    " She said¡­You don''t need to worry about it."


    Jia Hao was stunned as he saw Minmin wasing forward. She still wore her bellyband, as she stood shyly before Jia Hao.


    Clumsily, she climbed into the bathtub, sitting before Jia Hao.


    Both silently looked at each other before Minmin took a deep breath and started to scrub the other parts of Jia Hao''s body.


    " Well, What else your Young Miss said?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask with a bit of a stern voice. " If she wants to help me, shouldn''t shee here by herself? Why is she forcing you?"


    " No one is forcing me, Young Lord." Minmin shook her head. " I am simply agreeing with Young Miss''s decision and chose to help you."


    " Well, You are bathing with your Young Lord, won''t you marry in the future?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Won''t it be a problem then?"


    " I won''t marry as I promised to follow Young Miss till death." Minmin replied with a determined voice.


    " Besides, Didn''t you say I am also your property? Would you let me marry another man?"


    " Tsk, sharp minded as always, huh?" Jia Hao chuckled as he pulled Minmin into his embrace.


    Leaning out, he took out the shampoo bottle from the pouch of Minmin.


    " Turn around, I will help you apply the shampoo."


    "Yo-Young Lord, This isn''t appropriate." Minmin hurriedly said. " How can a lord help his maid¡­"


    " Minmin, if you don''t agree, you can get out right now."


    Minmin gazed at Jia Hao for a moment before sighing, turning away to show her back to him.


    Suddenly, she felt Jia Hao''s fingers massaging her scalp and applying shampoo to her hair.


    " Mnn¡­This feels so¡­Good." Minmin sighed as she could feel Jia Hao''s fingers doing magic on her hair.


    " No wonder Young Miss said it''s enjoyable."

 Chapter 185: Troubled Relationship

    " Is that so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Well, Since it will take some time, why don''t you spill the beans?"


    " About what?" Minmin asked with a curious voice.


    " About the changes today? Why is Yixue acting like this?"


    Minmin paused for a moment before sighing. " Because She is afraid. Young Miss is afraid of losing you."


    " Why?" Jia Hao asked with confusion. " I don''t think I have ever treated her badly. I did everything just for her, hoping she would befortable."


    " Then why she is thinking I will leave her? Because of Xu Chen? I don''t think so."


    " Precisely because Young Lord is so good and caring, Young Miss is more worried," Minmin replied with a sad voice.


    " She is feeling that she won''t be able to reciprocate your feelings. She felt she was leaving you starved of mental and physical intimacy."


    " And, Since she can''t fulfill your physical desires, I am willing to do it instead of her." Minmin replied.


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard the reasoning. " That¡­ That''s a very stupid reason, right?"


    Washing the foam away, Jia Hao couldn''t help but berate her. " If she had some problem, she could havemunicated with me."


    " Not to mention, It''s alright for us to remain a bit distant. It''s barely a month since we got married. There is no rush, alright?"


    " What I said is just¡­overall situation, Young Lord." Minmin bit her lips.


    " Young Miss¡­has a big secret. And, I don''t think I should be saying that to you."


    " However, if I was in her shoes¡­Maybe I would have taken this painful decision as well."


    " You¡­You all¡­" Jia Hao felt speechless as he sighed. " You guys are really making me angry now."


    " Alright, Let''s leave her for a moment, Why did you agree?"


    " To help you?" Minmin turned around and looked at Jia Hao.


    " Young Lord, I know I am nothingpared to Young Miss. However, I¡­I am willing to take her ce in the bed¡­to satisfy you."


    Seeing her blushing face, Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh. After all, he could see the sincerity in her eyes, not falsehood.


    '' Damn, Could it be¡­she already fell for me?'' Jia Hao was speechless.


    However, despite thinking that, he didn''t take advantage of Minmin.


    '' Though I have to admit, her breasts are quite bigger than her stature.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    Since she was bathing Jia Hao, her bellyband was already wet. The fabric stuck in her curves, sticking out sexily.


    Jia Hao had an intense urge to grab them, and slope knead them like buns. However, he controlled his hands.


    '' It''s alright, I will have time in the future.''


    Meanwhile, Minmin felt her body temperature already reached to peak, making her entire body red. As she scrubbed Jia Hao''s body, she couldn''t help but think of various wild things in her mind.


    '' What if Young Lord forces himself on me? I¡­I already gave him the permission though.''


    '' Young Lord''s body is so close¡­And his muscles¡­they feel so powerful?''


    '' Wait, What is poking me down there?''


    " Haah, Minmin, You are really devoted to Yixue, aren''t you?" Jia Hao suddenly held her waist and rubbed his lips on her nape, making her shudder.


    The close proximity made Minmin shudder with a strange feeling. It was not revulsion or fear¡­but something else.


    " But, I am not giving you permission, yet." Jia Hao grinned as he let her go.


    " Because, I would only ept you if youe to me with your own volition. I would never ept you just because someone else ordered you."


    Slowly, Jia Hao got up from the tub, the water droplets sliding down from his muscles.


    As Minmin''s face was right before his thighs, she finally realized what was poking her down there.


    Jia Hao''s magnificent manhood stood erect and proud, right before Minmin''s flushed face.


    " I¡­ I¡­"


    Minmin felt the wheels of her brain suddenly jammed, making her unable to think anything for a moment.


    '' I forgot how big it was¡­ To think it would look so¡­intimidating from close¡­'' She gulped a mouthful of saliva as she looked away.


    Jia Hao didn''t bother with her as he got up. Minmin snapped back to her senses as she also got out. Holding a cloth, she wiped Jia Hao''s body.


    " Go tell Yixue, that next time, she doesn''t need to send anyone. I am capable of taking care of my needs without any maid."


    " Young Lord¡­Are you angry?" Minmin couldn''t help but ask in a small voice.


    " Yes, I am angry, Not at you but at Yixue." Jia Hao wore back his robe as he turned around. " Hmph, She thinks only she can make decisions? I can''t?"


    " But why?: Minmin couldn''t help but ask her final doubt. " Why did Young Lord restrain himself?"


    " Because I am a maid? Because I am not as beautiful as Young Miss? Or as Young Miss thought, Young Lord is thinking this is a test?"


    Jia Hao raised his brows as he looked at Minmin. He couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " Hehe, I love beauties and won''t hesitate to sleep with them, that''s true. However, I only do when I conquer that beauty, only after she agrees to be with me from body and heart."


    " Otherwise, you think I, Jia Hao, wouldck women in my life?" Jia Hao spoke in a deep voice.


    " Beauties would be thest thing I will get desperate for. After all, what kind of women I have not seen?"


    As Jia Hao left, Minmin remained in the bathhouse alone. She couldn''t help but contemte the things that happened here.


    '' Young Lord¡­He had the opportunity, but he didn''t take it. It was because he felt I was coerced into this.'' Minmin thought inwardly.


    Minmin knew that although she couldn''t bepared to Cai Yixue, she was still a beautifuldy in her youth. And, It was clear that Jia Hao gave her a few lustful nces before.


    '' However, he didn''t forced me. There was no regret in his eyes as if he didn''t care about this. So, I can at least understand one point from this.''


    Minmin adjusted her clothes as she rubbed the water from her body. Wearing back her clothes, she went to Cai Yixue.


    Cai Yixue was in the study room, reading a few books beside the window.


    " You have arrived. It''s faster than I thought."


    Cai Yixue looked at Minmin as she was standing in a bowing position beside her.


    " Haah, I believe he didn''t do anything?"


    " Young Lady, Young Lord is really angry with you." Minmin couldn''t help but speak worriedly.


    Cai Yixue was stunned when she heard that. After that, Minmin told her everything that happened inside the bathroom.


    Cai Yixue was stunned for a moment before she looked outside.


    " Women are thest thing he would everck, huh?" Cai Yixue couldn''t help but mutter.


    " Indeed, I don''t doubt him. I doubt any woman would leave a person like him."


    " Then why you?" Minmin couldn''t help but ask. " What you did today made an impression on Young Lord. He thinks that you don''t trust him fully."


    " Is it because of¡­"


    " You know the reason, Why ask?" Cai Yixue nced at her.


    Looking at the evening sky outside, Cai Yixue couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    " I am a ck widow, a woman who will bring bad luck to her surroundings. "

 Chapter 186: Checking The Smithies

    Jia Hao''s mood wasn''t good after everything happened. However, he couldn''t help but be intrigued by what he heard from the Minmin.


    '' What is Yixue hiding from me? What is it that thing she can''t tell me freely?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but ponder inwardly.


    At that moment Old Yang knocked on the door. " Young Lord, May Ie in?"


    " Yes, What is it?" Jia Hao looked at him.


    " Well, As you asked, I have already invited the cksmith of our iron forges here." Old Yang replied. " Do you want to meet them right now?"


    " Indeed, let''s go." Jia Hao nodded instantly as he followed Old Yang.


    Sitting in a carriage, Old Yang and a few soldiers escorted Jia Hao out of Nanhai City. In a small vige on the outskirts of Nanhai City, Jia Hao could see a lot of forges there.


    Soon enough, he reached a bunch of middle aged men and old men standing in the hall. All of them had tanned skin, with a messy appearance.


    However, Jia Hao had to admit that their muscles werepletely ripped.


    '' Most of them were at the peak of the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm.''


    '' However, with the amount of work they have done, some of them have better physiques than the Low stage of the Profound Awakening Realm practitioners.''


    " We greet Young Lord Jia."


    " We greet Son in Law Jia Hao."


    Jia Hao nodded as he waved his hands. " Well, I shall not waste time on pleasantries. I am here to visit the condition of our forges and see how some improvement can be made."


    The cksmiths looked at each other with dismay.


    " Improving our forges? Is that some sort of trick?"


    " Shhh, Don''t let hin hear you. What if he gets angry?"


    " Hmph, the Cai Family already treated us with respect. Why should we lower ourselves before a neer?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he could hear every murmur between the cksmiths."


    " Well, I know a lot of you have doubts. However, Please believe me. I would definitely be able to help you."


    " So, before anything, let''s visit your forges, ok?"


    An old man walked out as he nodded. " My name is Tong Yuan, and I will guide Young Lord here."


    " Old Tong, Don''t be too cold." Old Yang chuckled. " My Young Lord isn''t bad."


    " Well, Since Mr. Yang is saying¡­"


    Tong Yuan gave a side eye to Jia Hao before beckoning him to follow him. As Jia Hao followed him into one of the forges, he nodded.


    '' As expected, This is a bloomery furnace. And they are using woods to burn the furnace.''


    '' However, the temperature¡­This¡­''


    " Uncle Tong, What sort of wood are you burning?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    " Most of the time, we use the wood of local trees. However, the best kind of wood is the Crimson Oil Tree''s wood. A single piece of Crimson Oil Tree''s wood is worth fifty pieces of normal wood."


    " It gives very high temperature and remains stable for a long time, making the smithing process a lot smoother."


    " But I believe it''s expensive?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    " Indeed, It is." Tong Yuan nodded. " Although The mecloud Crystals are even more expensive."


    " What are those?" Jia Hao was curious.


    " mecloud Crystals are a special type of crystal mined around the central province of Great Yan Kingdom." Old Yang replied.


    " They burn very fiercely and remain hot for a long time. They are bright like red and used as the main ingredient by the imperial family and some other elite family''s forges."


    " A single piece of mecloud Crystal costs ten taels of silver. Meanwhile, ten taels of silver can buy a lot of wood."


    " The imperial family already put sanctions on the mining of the mecloud Crystals. So, unauthorized possession is a crime."


    Jia Hao rubbed his chin for a moment before pondering. '' Hmm, This sounds like coals. Did the mecloud Crystals evolve from the coal pressurized by natural energy?''


    " If we can''t get our hands on mecloud Crystals, we can sure use the Crimson Oil Tree, right?" Jia Hao looked at them.


    " The Crimson Oil Tree grows deep in the Nanhai Mountain. So, it''s hard to obtain.; Tong Yuan replied. " Not to mention, a tree takes ten years to grow."


    " The more we cut trees, the more further we need to go inside the Nanhai Mountain." Tong Yuan shrugged. " Besides, It''s not only us who are using Crimson Oil Tree''s wood to burn."


    " So, We can only make a proportion of normal wood and Crimson Oil Wood to smelt the iron."


    " I see¡­"


    Jia Hao walked to the forgeries and looked at the house. "Hmm, The venttion here is pretty bad. Don''t you feel all stuffed and sweaty?"


    The cksmiths were dumbfounded when they heard.


    " But, This is the condition we work, right?"


    " Yeah, This is normal."


    Jia Hao shook his head. " No, This is not normal. All these big houses need to have vents and venttion channels. Otherwise, you all might suffocate inside."


    " Not to mention, don''t tell me the burning iron, wood, and smoke is not harming your health?"


    " Old Yang, Take some money and renovate these forging houses.I will draw the n for it, so I hope you can implement it." Jia Hao spoke.


    " Yes, Young Lord." Old Yang nodded instantly.


    Tong Yuan and others were stunned when they heard Jia Hao''s words. He was actually thinking about their conditions and health before talking about the output of ores?


    " Also, you all are not going to work for longer hours. Divide the workers into three shifts. If there aren''t manyborers, recruit some." Jia Hao gave another order.


    " Young Lord, Are you telling the truth?"


    " You are so generous, Young Lord!"


    " Praise Young Lord! Praise his benevolence!"


    Even Tong Yuan couldn''t help but be stunned when he heard that. He thought Jia Hao was just here to get familiarized with the business.


    However, he never thought he would actually care about the workers and the working conditions here.


    " Bring me a pen and paper. I wish to draw something." Jia Hao thought for a moment before adding, " And bring me some charcoal too."


    The workers were stunned when Jia Hao used a charcoal piece to sharpen and draw on the paper. Looking at them, Jia Hao couldn''t help butugh.


    " Well, the strokes on the brushes are thicker and inconvenient to use. So, I use this for fine lines."


    As Jia Hao already got the title of Genius Mechanic and read a lot of books, his knowledge regarding building various things was already surpassed by amon graduate.


    First of all, he designed a simple air venttion system. It will automatically pump out all the hot air from the smelting houses.


    However, if some workers want, they can also use the pump manually to suck out the air.


    The next thing Jia Hao saw was the production. " So, you mainly use this type of iron?"


    " Indeed, Young Lord." Tong Yuan replied. " In fact, mostly, we make bronze equipment. The iron is only reserved for making weapons and chainmail."


    " Hmm, You also make farming tools, right? Can I see them?"


    As Jia Hao inspected the farming tools, he saw all of them were made from either bronze or pig iron. After a few knocks, he could already see the cracks in it.


    " Hmm, The pig iron isn''t stable at all. Not to mention, the bronze equipments are way too heavy." Jia Hao looked at Tong Yuan.


    " The farmers must be changing their tools quite often, eh?"

 Chapter 187: New Forging Technique!

    " Young Lord is right. Especially the farmers of the viges near the Nanhai Mountain. The solid soil and rocky terrain damage their tool often."


    " Hmm, Interesting¡­" Jia Hao thought for a moment before looking at Old Yang.


    " Old Yang, go and purchase some limestones. You know, those white rocks?"


    " Ah, Yes¡­" Old Yang''s expression turned odd, but he nodded. " I shall fetch someone to get them here."


    " Meanwhile¡­" Jia Hao looked at Tong Yuan. " Prepare a big furnace, and cut a hole like this."


    Jia Hao instantly drew a st furnace and showed it to Tong Yuan. All the cksmiths were curious when they saw that.


    " Young Master, What''s this?"


    " This is a new method of smelting. It''s called the st furnace." Jia Hao replied. " With this, you can turn these rough and cracked iron into superior carbon steel."


    " Carbon steel?"


    The cksmiths felt skeptical when they heard Jia Hao''s method. However, looking at his enthusiasm, Tong Yuan nodded.


    " Didn''t you hear Young Lord! Go and prepare it right now!"


    " Yes, Elder Tong!"


    " Right away!"


    Soon, Everything was prepared before Jia Hao, making him start the process.


    " Dump the iron pieces and limestone inside the furnace and fuel it. Burn it till it melts."


    " Also, keep blowing hot air from above."


    The cksmiths nodded as they started the process. Soon enough, the pig iron melted and the limestone started to suck the impurity from the pig iron.


    The impurity molded with limestone became light and floated above the molten iron. Meanwhile, with light movement, the molten iron was extracted from the hole below.


    " Now, pass it by the burning charcoal. Let the molten iron absorb the smoke of those charcoal."


    As the iron cooled, the cksmiths were stunned when they saw it.


    " This¡­The iron looks so dark and lustrous."


    " Millennium Yin Iron?"


    " No, That''s not it." Tong Yuan shook his head. " Millennium Yin Iron is quite a lot different from this. However, this¡­this is way better in quality than the iron ores we produced regrly."


    " And this process doesn''t take much time either."


    " I never thought adding limestone in iron would be so efficient."


    " I have already prepared the drawing of the st furnace. So, you need to prepare it and smelt the iron with limestone with proper ratio." Jia Hao replied as he wrote it down.


    " I believe with this, our forging workshop would perform way much better than others." Jia Hao grinned.


    " So, stop all the workings of bronze and copper and focus solely on the iron now."


    " Yes." Tong Yuan nodded. " Young Lord, Since you havee this far, would you please like to be the guest of our vige leader''s house?"


    " Oh? Why not?" Jia Hao nodded. " Meanwhile, you can try this new dark steel. Also, I have some other important thing to discuss."


    Old Yang and Tong Yuan exchanged nces and nodded. Soon enough, they took Jia Hao to the vige leader''s house.


    Jia Hao sat in the courtyard as he was served with some wild fruits and tea. He was amazed by the vor of the wild fruit.


    '' Damn, This feels so refreshing. So crisp and juicy inside. This is called Water Apple, eh?'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    However, his eyes narrowed as the vige leader didn''t appear as fast as Jia Hao thought he would. He had to wait till half an hour before an old man came while apanying Old Yang.


    Although his beard and hair were white, the old man had a robust body. However, Jia Hao noticed he only had one hand, as the other appeared to be cut.


    Jia Hao stood up and looked at him. The old man bowed lightly. " Vige Leader Chen Tu greets Young Lord."


    " Greetings, Elder Chen." Jia Hao chuckled. " Well, I believe you had some important task since you dyed our meeting?"


    " Young Lord can think that." Chen Tu nodded lightly. " I was inspecting the new dark steel forged by Young Lord''s technique. I have to admit, the quality of the material is pretty astonishing."


    " It''s way better than the iron ingots we produce. If we can mass produce it, Cai Family can profit a lot."


    " Initially, I was reluctant to meet any nobles from the Cai Family other than Patriarch. However, hearing about your feet, I couldn''t help but get a bit interested."


    " I am d that I can be helpful to Elder Chen."


    Chen Tu looked at Jia Hao as he sat down. " Hmm, Not arrogant, but you have a lot of pride inside. Not everyone can have such flexibility."


    Old Yang heard the conversation as he introduced Chen Tu''s identity to him.


    " Elder Chen used to follow the Eldest Master on the battlefield. He was also an exceptional cksmith. However, during the war, he lost his arm and retired here."


    " Patriarch Cai made him the head of this forging vige. Here, he oversaw all the forgings of the Cai Family."


    " However, The cksmithing here had been declining. Not only we are short of skilledborers, we also focus on exporting the iron ingots more than forging things."


    " Well then, I believe it''s the time to change?" Jia Hao looked at Chen Tu." Elder Chen, Don''t you think every soldier of the Cai Family needs to be equipped with superior quality equipment?"


    " With my method, we can easily refinerge quantity of dark steel. And the first thing we are going to sell is¡­farming tools."


    " What? Farming tools?" Chen Tu and Old Yang were surprised.


    " Yes, Farming tools." Jia Hao chuckled. " Elder Chen, Think about this. If you suddenly bring a chunk of dark steel and say to everyone that this is a better metal, would they believe easily?"


    " Therefore, we need to slowly build trust among the people. And in this regard, no one would be better than the farmers."


    Chen Tu rubbed his chin when he heard that. " Interesting, I never thought like that."


    " As for theborers, we can fetch as many as Elder Chen wants. We have money after all." Jia Hao smiled.


    " However, we need to bind them with the contract. So, we can ensure that they won''t leave in the midway."


    Old Yang and Chen Tu looked at each other with surprise.


    " However, these are the superficial things." Jia Hao spoke in a mysterious tone.


    " Elder Chen, I would like to ask you something. If we can use this method to produce such a quality dark steel from ordinary iron¡­"


    " What if we use Millenium Dark Iron as the base input?"


    Chen Tu''s expression changed. " You want to refine Millenium Yin Iron and make¡­even superior material?"


    " Yes, Why isn''t this possible? There are certainly some ways¡­" Chen Tu was amazed.


    " However, Millennium Yin Iron is expensive, almost five times of normal iron. We can''t¡­"


    " Well, You don''t need to worry about the supply. I can give you as much Millenium Yin Iron as you need."


    " This¡­This¡­ Are you telling the truth?" Chen Tu''s breathing turned heavy when he heard that.


    " Old Yang, Have I ever lied?" Jia Hao looked at Old Yang.


    " Young Lord never lied. But¡­Isn''t your idea¡­"


    " As I said, Don''t worry about the supply. I just need the best from this smithy." Jia Hao looked at him.


    " The entire Nanhai City¡­No, The entire Province¡­No one would be able to beat the products of Cai Family."


    Jia Hao smiled as he looked at Old Yang and Chen Tu. However, his expression changed when he used the Sage''s Divine Eyes of Old Yang.


    '' Wh-What the fuck!?''

 Chapter 188: Magical Treasure Acquired

    " What happened, Young Lord?" Old Yang noticed the change in Jia Hao''s expression.


    " Oh¡­Nothing." Jia Hao spoke after some moment. " Old Yang, I would like to know something."


    " Can you list off the enemies of the Cai Family?" Jia Hao spoke with a stiff smile. " How many of them hate us?"


    Old Yang was taken aback when heard Jia Haio''s question. " Uhh, I mean¡­There aren''t many families who don''t have enemies."


    " Let me guess, currently, in Nanhai City, there would be the Niu Family, the Shen Family, the Lian Family of Silkward Chambers, and The City Lord''s faction?"


    " So, Almost every big family hates us?" Jia Hao sighed with disappointment. " Not to mention, the pressure from the Imperial Family."


    " Well, We can''t do anything about it." Old Yang lowered his voice as he finally revealed a hidden news.


    " Currently, His Majesty the Emperor is in secluded cultivation. So, All the errands were being run by the princes and his royal guardians."


    " He isn''t dead, is he?"


    Chen Tu and Old Yang''s expressions changed instantly when they heard Jia Hao''s grumble. They lunged towards him, sealing his mouth.


    " Young Lord! What are you saying?!"


    " If someone hears, it would be troublesome!"


    " Fine! Get off!" Jia Hao snorted. " Hmph, In the absence of the tiger, the monkey acts as a king, huh?"


    " No wonder this is happening! You should have informed me beforehand."


    " Well, Young Lord never showed any interest in the imperial politics in the capital." Old Yang shrugged.


    There was a reason for Jia Hao to be anxious. He saw the Recent Future Point of Old Yang and noticed a subtle, yet great changed.


    The monster tide was supposed toe in a month. However, it''s showing that it wille within a week!


    '' Fuck! How did the time shorten by so much? Who is doing this?''


    [ Recent Future Point: Old Yang would be crippled in the monster tide that wille after a week. For the rest of the life, he would be unable to walk]


    '' No, There is something else. The intensity of the monster tide¡­It''s less! Old Yang would actually survive instead of dying like the previous future!''


    '' I guess the haste in the monster tide has decreased its power. Hmm, I guess I have to haste my preparation too.''


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he adjusted himself.


    " Anyway, Old Yang, I have stored some Millennium Yin Iron in our Cai Family''s warehouse. Bring them to Elder Chen." Jia Hao gave instructions.


    " Elder Chen, You need to increase production. For now, use the dark steel to forge some chainmail and swords. Even if you have to add extra manpower, you need to produce as much as you can."


    " In the end, I need results. I need enough equipment so I can arm our foot soldiers."


    " As you say, Young Lord." Chen Tu didn''t ask Jia Hao''s reasons as he simplyplied.


    " Young Lord, I will ask Tong Yuan to recruitborer from today. And we shall soon prepare some makeshift st furnaces by tomorrow."


    " However, before you leave, I would like to present you something."


    Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled when he heard that. " I would be d to receive a present from you, Elder Chen."


    Chen Tu nodded as he asked Jia Hao to follow him inside. Standing on a spot, Jia Hao could see Chen Tu gathering all his internal qi and stomping on the floor.


    *CRACCCK!*


    The wooden floor shattered as it revealing a nk space underneath. Jia Hao squatted as he removed the nks from there.


    " Huh? This¡­"


    He could see a box made of peach wood underneath the floor. With Chen Tu''s nod, he took it out.


    " This is a treasure my Master had forged and gifted to me. Unfortunately, I could never make something of this caliber again."


    " However, with your new method of forging, you have reignited my cold passion." Chen Tu sighed.


    " So, Young Lord, Please ept this present from me."


    Opening the box, Jia Hao saw a saber inside it. The hilt was pitch ck, with red veins pulsing around it. The de was pristine silver, with a reflection of light blue inside it.


    Jia Hao''s expression changed as he tried to lift it up. It weighed over a hundred kilograms.


    " This is a saber made with Lightning Meteor Iron, with its hilt made up of Twisted Ghost Tree''s wood. The gem on the hilt is the monster core of me Breathing Turtle."


    " It''s a powerful weapon, with a rune diagram etched on the monster core. It''s a fire affinity magical treasure, perfect for those with crimson internal qi."


    " This¡­This is a mid rank magical treasure?" Old Yang was surprised. " Damn it, Elder Chen, I didn''t know you were hiding such a treasure."


    " What about it?" Chen Tu rolled his eyes. " Even I never used this weapon, you know? It was gift and I kept it as one."


    " However, I believe rather than leaving it rotting here, I should give it to someone."


    " Besides¡­" Chen Tuughed. " I have a feeling now. That I might be able to make an even better weapon. So, I am giving it away to challenge myself."


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he swung it around. The saber tore through the wind he he could feel the sharpness of the saber.


    '' Not to mention, it has a forward weight. With my strength, I can easily cut through even the toughest armor with this.''


    shing and instantaneous movements like a sword is impossible. However, for chopping and cleaving, this saber is perfect.


    '' Jade Like sword, Tiger like saber¡­This is really a tiger.'' Jia Hao slid the saber in his sheath and ced it on his back.


    " Thank you, Elder Chen, For thinking that I am worthy of this treasure."


    " No need. You are currently the son inw of the Cai Family. You need to have something to protect yourself, yeah?"


    " I have to admit, the craftsmanship of this saber is pretty extraordinary." Jia Hao became curious. " Elder Chen, Who was your master?"


    " Hehe, He is one of the five elders of Treasure Forging Sect, Elder Ruan. This saber isn''t even one of his best treasures. He just gave it to me as a passing gift."


    " Only if I was a bit more talented. I could have learned much more from him." Chen Tu sighed.


    '' A mid rank magical treasure isn''t his best work? This Elder Ruan sounds like a huge deal.'' Jia Hao muttered inwardly.

 Chapter 189: Crown Prince Likes the Dishes

    The treasures that can channel internal qi are called magical treasures. There are three tiers of them, Low, mid, and high grade.


    As for the above magical treasure, there are Holy Treasures. They can create wondrous effects and a single one can cause a bloodbath among families and sects.


    For example, Jia Hao''s Holy Radiance Torch was a Holy Treasure, which killed all the dark goblins instantly upon activation.


    '' Tsk, Too bad I couldn''t use it. I hope Cai Lingzhi kept it safe with her.'' Jia Hao muttered inwardly.


    However, this mid grade magical saber is perfect for current Jia Hao. He couldn''t help but feel ted as he got such a treasure.


    " Alright, It''s already evening. We shall return back." Jia Hao turned around.


    Old Yang nodded as he followed Jia Hao back. Sitting in the carriage, they both returned back to the Nanhai City.


    However, in the middle of the street, the carriage was stopped. Jia Hao saw Old Yang''s expression turning vignt as he clutched his sword hilt.


    " What happened?"


    " Someone is blocking our road." Old Yang replied. Jia Hao became curious as he peeked out.


    '' Huh? Zhou Yan?'' Jia Hao recognized him instantly as he saw him standing before his carriage.


    " Young Lord, That man is giving me a dangerous vibe. Such an intense bloodlust¡­" Old Yang mumbled.


    " It''s alright." Jia Hao got out of the carriage. " I know him. You don''t need to worry."


    " Go back to the mansion. I shall arrive shortly."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    Jia Hao looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. " So, What is it? Brother Qing wants to see me?"


    " Indeed. He is waiting for you in the Tianxiang Pavilion."


    " Tianxiang Pavilion?" Jia Hao''s expression turned odd. " Fine, lead the way."


    As he arrived there, His and Zhou Yan''s expression turned even more odd as they saw Li Qing fighting with Chef Liang.


    " Well, I can give you ten thousand taels of gold. Can''t you prepare something for me?" Li Qing couldn''t help but shout.


    " Young Noble, I understand your problem. However, Our shop is closed and we won''t take guests for today."


    " It''s alright. Prepare a table for the three of us." Jia Hao shouted from afar.


    " Young Lord, It''s you!" Chef Liang was surprised. He realized that Li Qing was Jia Hao''s guest, so his attitude changed.


    " Ahem, I didn''t know you are Young Lord''s guest. Please,e inside."


    " Haah, You are finally here, Brother Jia." Li Qing was ted.


    " I have to admit, Tianxiang Pavilion is so fucking crowded. It''s impossible to get a seat during the rush hour."


    " Well, It''s truly a pleasure that someone like Brother Li is attracted to our humble abode." Jia Hao took a seat. " I am sure you didn''t call me just to get a private seat here, right?"


    " What if that''s the reason?" Li Qing looked at him. " I mean, the Spring Wine of Tianxiang Pavilion is something pretty unique. Among all types of wine I have drunk, the Spring Wine definitelyes in the top ten."


    " Too bad, You have limited the sale. So I have to spend a lot before I manage to get a jar. It was worth the money though."


    " Hehe, this is just some ordinary wine. I am d you like it." Jia Hao chuckled.


    Soon enough, Chef Liang presented a te full of fried chicken, stir fried noodles, and fried veggies sauteed in sauces.


    " Ohh! This is¡­This is so delicious!" Li Qing was stunned as he took a bite. " I doubt even the imperial chef could make something like this!"


    " Not to mention, such robust vor¡­each dish tastes so different! I¡­I can''t stop eating!"


    Zhou Yan sat at another table. However, even he couldn''t help but hide his surprise as he took a bite.


    " Ahem, I guess I forgot my decorum." Li Qing wiped his lips as he took a sip of Spring Wine.


    " I just want to thank you. You arranged Miss Sang to help us in tomorrow''s venture in Nanhai Mountain?"


    " Yes, I believe Sang Qiuliu can help you more than Elder Lei. Not to mention¡­" Jia Hao chuckled as he thought about how Elder Lei was going to betray Li Qing.


    " But you are alsoing with us?" Li Qing asked with a surprise. " This might be dangerous, you know?"


    " I also want to gain some experience. And, I can use the monsters inside the Twisted Dark Forest to increase my skills." Jia Hao smiled.


    " However, I would like to ask you something."


    " Yes?"


    " Is The Emperor really in secluded cultivation?"


    Li Qing''s eating paused as he looked at Jia Hao. A smile slowly appeared. " What do you think?"


    " He is trying to see how you all are performing?" Jia Hao made a reason.


    " Brother Jia is wise. However, you can say it''s also a scheme to slowly lure out the enemies."


    " Even if many people die in this game?" Jia Hao asked once again.


    " Well, This might be harsh, but does it matter?" Li Qing spoke again. " There would be always casualties in a war. We need to look at the bigger picture while doing something?"


    " So, What if this time, the casualty is the Cai Family?" Jia Hao took a sip. " Let''s assume, ok? What if¡­the Cai Family suddenly vanished from Nanhai City? Like¡­gone, all dead?"


    Li Qing and Zhou Yan were stunned when Jia Hao''s words.


    " Haha, Brother Jia, Don''t say such ominous¡­"


    " I am asking a question, Crown Prince Li." Jia Hao spoke again. " What benefit would the Imperial Family receive if the Cai Family dies?"


    " The absence of the Cai Family would certainly appeal to a faction of the Imperial Family." Zhou Yan broke his silence.


    " As you know, the Cai Family has two masters from the previous lords. The Eldest Lord is currently defending the northern borders. Meanwhile, The Patriarch of the Cai Family is situated in Nanhai City."


    " But not everyone knows that the Nanhai Mountain pass is something that is strictly guarded by the Cai Family. It''s the pass that connects our Western Province with Boundless Prairie beyond the mountains. It''s the house of hundreds of barbarian tribes and demons."


    " A faction of imperial power wishes to stop guarding the Nanhai Mountain Pass and march forward. They want to subjugate the Boundless Prairie and expand the empire."


    " Is it because of the rich minerals in Boundless Praire?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    " That, and also capturing the Mo Country, which used to be a part of the ancient Zhou Dynasty."

 Chapter 190: Leaving For Expedition

    " Well, So if something unexpected happens, I believe His Majesty woulde out of the seclusion?"


    " I believe so?" Li Qing mumbled. " However, No one can guess the intention of Father. Who knows what''s in his mind?"


    " But, I don''t think he would sit and let a loyal family like the Cai Family face destruction."


    " I hope so¡­" Jia Hao mumbled as he stood up.


    " Brother Li, You can take your time and enjoy your dinner here. We shall meet tomorrow at dawn. I shall be waiting for you and Miss Sang at the outskirts of Nanhai mountain."


    Li Qing and Zhou Yan saw Jia Hao getting up and walking away.


    " It looks like my brother dearest is nning something." Li Qing sipped some Spring Wine.


    " But, Jia Hao already got some wind of it."


    " I believe so." Zhou Yan spoke in a low voice. " Elder Xu Fan of Heaven Watching Pavilion met Third Prince Li Yuanst month. We can guess that Third Prince Li Yuan is doing something big behind the screens."


    " Interesting¡­if Third Brother does something, we can use this chance to peg him down." Li Qing rubbed his forehead. " Ugh, Father Emperor really gave me a headache."


    " I never thought he would partially give the military department to Li Yuan. Thanks to that, we were practically clueless about what he had been doing the past few months."


    " Young Lord doesn''t need to worry." Zhou Yan replied. " You are currently the Crown Prince and ahead of everyone else. Even if the Third Prince, Seventh Prince and Sixth Prince scheme against you, you can easily suppress them."


    " I hope so." Li Qing mumbled. " However, We need to get the Bright Snow Lotus first. I can''t let my sister wait, else her illness will rpse."


    " Have you prepared everything?"


    " Yes, Young Lord. Everything has been prepared for tomorrow''s expedition." Zhou Yan bowed.


    " That''s good."


    Taking a big sip of wine, Li Qing felt his body swaying. " I am a bit drunk tonight so¡­Wake me up tomorrow."


    Zhou Yan hurried and caught Li Qing. Holding him, he slowly walked out.


    '' I hope I can wake you up tomorrow. Because¡­Even I am feeling drunk somewhat.''


    Zhou Yan thought inwardly as he slowly felt the aftereffect of the Spring Wine.


    Meanwhile, As Jia Hao returned to the mansion, he couldn''t help but start nning for tomorrow''s expedition.


    " Young Lord, Young Miss is asking you to join dinner with her."


    "No need, I am full right now." Jia Hao looked at Minmin and shook his head.


    Minmin paused as she didn''t say anything. She simply bowed and left.


    As Jia Hao was sitting in his room, the door slowly opened. Jia Hao sighed as he looked at Cai Yixue.


    She held a te full of food and set it on the table. " It''s not good to sleep empty stomach at night."


    " I have eaten outside. I am not feeling hungry." Jia Hao replied lightly.


    " Are you still angry with me after what happened today?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao and asked in a subtle voice.


    " What do you think, my dear wife?" Jia Hao looked at her.


    Cai Yixue looked at him for some time and shook her head. " I believe you are still angry. But there are other troubles in your heart."


    " You do have pretty sharp eyes." Jia Hao gave an amused smile. " Unfortunately, You still can''t trust me after knowing me, huh?"


    " You are already carrying a lot of burdens. I don''t want to give you more trouble." Cai Yixue replied.


    Jia Hao''s lips twitched as he looked at Cai Yixue. '' The women of Yun Continent are really troublesome.''


    " Anyway, I am going to the Nanhai Mountain with an expedition group. So, I will leave in the early morning."


    " What?" Cai Yixue''s brows creased when she heard that. " Uncle Yang ising with you, right?"


    " I will take a few guards. But I don''t think I will take Old Yang. He has other work to do."


    " Th-That¡­That might be dangerous?" Cai Yixue interjected. " Currently, The Shen Family and the Silkward Chambers are gathering their resources. They might target you, who made them eat such loss."


    " Well, I have already secured my safety and I believe they won''t be able to touch me.: Jia Hao replied with a mild chuckle.


    After all, Zhou Yan is an Innate realm master. With him there, Jia Hao couldn''t be bothered by anyone.


    " But still¡­"


    " I have already informed you, so think what you like." Jia Hao retorted. " You don''t care about my feelings, why should I do about you?"


    Saying that, he walked inside. " I am going to sleep."


    A part of the reason behind his flippant answer was that he was annoyed by Cai Yixue. However, on the other hand, he actually wanted to irk her.


    Cai Yixue''s face flinched when she saw Jia Hao going to the bedroom. Biting her lips, she looked at the food.


    '' Stupid! If you don''t want to eat, then go! Sleep hungry!''


    She muttered inwardly as she started eating on her own. After finishing her dinner, Minmin came and fetched all the dishes.


    The next dawn, Jia Hao woke up with a yawn.


    '' Ugh, My neck and my face¡­Why is it so aching?'' It''s as if¡­someone pressed something on my face the entire night.'' He rubbed his face as he walked out.


    Food was already prepared and Jia Hao could see the steam through the covered lids. Cai Yixue sat nearby and studied some scrolls.


    Minmin was dusting the bookcase, but she couldn''t help but give teaseful nces to Cai Yixue, making her blush.


    "Ah, Young Lord, You have woken up." Minmin noticed Jia Hao as she spoke loudly.


    " Did you sleep well?"


    " Kinda?" Jia Hao mumbled as he rubbed his neck. " I think¡­Some bug bit mest night. There is a mark on my neck."


    " Ah, Must be a mischievous and angry bug¡­" Minmin replied yfully as she looked at Cai Yixue.


    " Huh? What do you mean?" Jia Hao was confused.


    " Ahem, Minmin, Aren''t you talking too much?" Cai Yixue red at her. " Go and fetch water for him."


    " Aye, Young Miss." Minmin giggled as she walked out.


    Jia Hao sat down as he sighed. " You woke up so early and prepared breakfast for me?"


    " I can''t let you go to the mountain with an empty stomach." Cai Yixue replied.


    " Alright¡­I am sorry for thest night, ok?" Jia Hao rubbed his face as he spoke.


    " I just want to be someone you can lean on, feeling safe and rxed. And, I got angry because you are hiding so many things from me¡­"


    " Is that what you say to all the girls you meet?"


    Chuckling at the jab of Cai Yixue, Jia Hao replied, " I do. I am just like that."


    After eating breakfast, Jia Hao got ready and walked out. Old Yang lent him a few guards who followed after him.


    " Come back safely."


    Jia Hao paused as he heard Cai Yixue. Turning around, Jia Hao smiled brightly.


    " Don''t worry, I will be back soon."

 Chapter 191: Hunting In Nanhai Mountain

    " Young Lord Jia, You are right on time."


    Jia Hao noticed that Zhou Yan and Li Qing were already standing with the Crimson Dagger Dojo''s disciples. However, what made him surprised was the presence of Sang Qiuluo.


    " Miss Sang? You are alsoing with us?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " Haha, Indeed." Sang Qiuluo nodded as she looked at Jia Hao. " I realized I can be a help in the Nanhai Mountain."


    " How is your father doing?"


    " He is well, All thanks to the efforts of Pharmacist Mo." Sang Qiuluo smiled.


    Jia Hao clicked his tongue as he looked at Sang Qiuluo. Rather than any girly attire, she wore a tight dress and pants, with leather boots covering her feet.


    Tying her hair into a bun and a bow on her back, she looked like a huntress, ready to hunt her prey.


    " Well, I believe everyone has arrived." Li Qing proimed. " Shall we go?"


    " Indeed. Let''s go."


    Sang Qiuliu nodded as she handed everyone small pouches made up of clothes.


    " What are these?"


    " These are beast repelling medicines. With this here, we can evade most of the beasts."


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before keeping it away, making Sang Qiuluo surprised.


    " What is it, Young Master Jia? You are not going to use it?"


    " Not now." Jia Hao stretched his arms. " I am rather inclined to fight off the beasts. I need to train my body, yes?"


    " Haha, That''s a good idea." Sang Qiuluo nodded. " However, this might create some hindrance in our journey."


    " What do you think, Brother Qing?"


    Li Qing looked at Jia Hao and thought for a moment. " Well, Let''s just avoid troublesome monsters, shall we? After we get the Bright Snow Lotus, you can kill as many beasts as you want."


    " Not to mention, The Wolven Fountain is a area infested with demonic beasts. We might not be able to avoid battle there." Zhou Yan reminded.


    So nning everything, they moved into the forest.


    Looking at the tall trees and dense greenery, Jia Hao couldn''t help but sigh.


    '' Damn, It''s my second timeing here.'' Jia Hao thought about the time when he got trapped here with Cai Lingzhi.


    Thanks to her, he managed to escape from there.


    " Do you know, The monsters inside the Nanhai Mountain are very fierce? It''s because, there are numerous spatial fractures inside the mountain, making the entire mountain rich in minerals and natural energy."


    " However, most of the spatial cracks were guarded by powerful demonic beasts who feed on the otherworldly monsters. So, there is always tension between demonic beasts and monsters."


    " What if we find a spatial crack?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " A spatial crack can bring both danger and fortune. First of all, we need to check if it''s stable or unstable. If it''s unstable, then leaving it would be the best option." Li Qing exined to Jia Hao.


    " Most of the time, the spatial crack contains a small spatial domain, where otherworldly monsters and resources are filled. Not to mention, there are also spatial nodes, which if broken, the spatial crack would copse."


    " So, after getting a spatial crack, it would be best to destroy the spatial node. Else, it might attract more otherworldly monsters and cause outbreaks."


    '' Wait a second¡­Why does this sound like¡­towers and dungeon genre?'' Jia Hao''s expression turned odd when he thought about it.


    '' Let me see, Spatial cracks are gates. Then, there is a spatial node which is the core of the gate. It contains monsters and resources. If not taken care of, monster outbreaks can happen.''


    " The elves, the otherworldly monsters, they aren''t native to thisnd, right?" Jia Hao suddenly asked.


    " Indeed, They are came out from the gray mist outbreak hundreds of years ago. As far as I know, they belonged to another old empire, which was invaded and then destroyed by the monsters." Li Qing replied.


    " After the gray mist slowly resided, most of them crossed the Stormy Sea and settled in the western continent. However, of them stayed here and scattered across the ancient Zhou Dynasty."


    " Hmm, Is that so?" Jia Hao rubbed his head as he felt utterly confused by the mish mash of the genres.


    Soon enough, the team of scouts stopped as they looked around.


    " There is a pack of Dark Hounds ahead of us."


    " Around twenty or some?"


    Sang Qiuluo frowned. " Dark Hounds are generally very sensitive to sound. I don''t think we have the time to detour them."


    " March forward. Archers, take position and shoot a few of them."


    Jia Hao saw two practitioners rush forward and climb on the tree. Due to the effect of the violet internal qi, their body was agile and noble, and their five senses were sharper.


    Arching their bows, they shot arrows to the distance.


    *AWOOO*


    Jia Hao and others heard the sound of the painful howls of dogs. The practitioners kept shooting arrows. However, the Dark Hounds seemed to notice their position and rushed towards them.


    " Iing! The pack is charging towards us!"


    " We have already killed five of them! However, they are moving too fast in the bushes!"


    " Bring it." Sang Qiuluo back as she pulled out a short sword from her waist. " We can finish them off."


    The bush rustled as Jia Hao saw hounds with three feet of height and crimson eyes charging towards them.


    With a lightning fast reaction, Jia Hao pulled out his saber and shed out.


    His internal energy flowed within the saber as he felt the de was turning slightly crimson. mes sparked out as Jia Hao cleaved a Dark Hound into half.


    The sh made the open flesh sear as if it was burnt by mes. Jia Hao was amazed by the performance.


    '' Holy shit! Not only the saber is super sharp, it also gives extra fire damage!''


    Sang Qiuluo didn''t back as she faced two hounds at once. Her short sword shed in a frenzied manner as she pierced skulls of the hounds.


    Jia Hao recognized the technique as it was none other than the Crimson Frenzy de Art. However, Sang Qiuluo''s movement were smooth as she controlled the precision of her attack.


    However, looking at Li Qing, Jia Hao couldn''t help but be speechless.


    Li Qing simply stood as Zhou Yuan used an ordinary dagger to kill the iing hounds. And he killed them with minimal effort as if he was crushing some ants.


    '' Tsk, Having a powerful servant sure has its benefits. I too also want it.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Since Sang Qiuluo and other members of Crimson Dagger Dojo were here, Jia Hao didn''t used the Crimson Frenzy de Word. He wielded the saber naturally and simply used his brute strength to kill the hounds.


    Not long after, the entire field was littered by the corpses. Sang Qiuluo looked around and nodded.


    " Take a few corpses and carry them inside our sack."


    Jia Hao was surprised as he looked at Snag Qiuluo for reason. Sang Qiuluo replied, " Well, The Wolven Fountain is filled with demonic beasts. We can use these corpses as lure to bait them away."


    " Our sacks were soaked in medicinal fluids. So, they won''t give the scent of blood while we are carrying the corpses."


    " Heh, Miss Sang sure knows the ins and outs of the hunting, eh?"

 Chapter 192: Cunning Wolves

    Sang Qiuluoughed at Jia Hao''s words. " Well, our Crimson Dagger Dojo thrives on the materials of the Nanhai Mountain. Of course, we have our own method to deal with it."


    " However, I never expected the servant of Mr. Qing would be so powerful."


    Li Qing chuckled when Sang Qiuluo looked at him, " Well, He is just better than some average martial artists. However, it would be enough to ensure our safety."


    " Let''s go then. We will arrive at our destination in an hour or two."


    Starting their journey again, they marched towards the Wolven Fountain.


    With Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao looked here and there. The forest was full of various materials. So Jia Hao''s vision was filled with information panels.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he pulled out his saber. Sang Qiuluo''s expression changed as she saw Jia Hao stabbing towards her.


    " Hu-Huh?!"


    Everyone were surprised when they saw Jia Hao''s movement. However, his saber passed Sang Qiuluo and stabbed the trunk of a nearby tree.


    Green blood sttered as arge chameleon fell down.


    " Th-That''s a Three colored Chameleon. It''s pretty poisonous. However, its camouging abilities are pretty strong." Sang Qiuluo spoke instantly.


    " Interesting, I didn''t expect you to see it. You got pretty sharp eyes."


    " Hehe, Just testing my saber." Jia Hao took the chameleon and threw it away.


    However, in reality, he swiftly put it inside his Pot of Miracles.


    Jia Hao was pleasantly surprised as he gained a stream of blood vitality and Miracle Points from the killing of monsters.


    '' The gathering of blood vitality is low. However, I already gained around 400 Miracle Points. As expected, killing is the best way to gain Miracle Points.''


    However, Jia Hao is also losing quite a lot of blood vitality as he can''t simply suck dry all the corpses and turn them into mummies. After all, people would be aghast andbel him as monster.


    But what made Jia Hao even more surprised was the things he got after killing the hounds and chameleon.


    [ Hound''s Nose Skill Shard]1x


    [ Hound''s Nose Skill Shard]1x


    [ Poison Blood Skill Shard]1x


    Jia Hao finally understood the meaning of them.


    Since most of these beasts weren''t powerful enough, their skills came broken into shards. To get aplete Hound''s Nose Skill, Jia Hao needs to collect twenty shards of it.


    Meanwhile, for the Poison Blood Skill, Jia Hao needs to collect a hundred shards of it.


    '' I have killed five hounds, so I have five shards. However, I need to kill 199 more Three Colored Chameleons to get that skill. Fuck, that''s too much trouble.''


    After a lot of looking, Jia Hao only found a single chameleon. To around two hundred of them, Jia Hao needs to search through the entire Nanhai Mountain.


    However, Jia Hao wasn''t too bothered by such a nerf. After all, If Jia Hao could easily get the abilities of demonic beasts, it would be far too terrifying.


    '' Not to mention, gobbling the abilities of different demonic beasts might make my body mutate.'' Jia Hao thought of a possibility that made him shudder.


    Not long after, Jia Hao could see a clearing. In front of them was a small clear pool with a waterfall falling from above.


    However, the ce was quiet, far too quiet. Sang Qiuluo''s eyes narrowed as she nced at her men. The disciples of Crimson Dagger Dojo nodded as they took out the corpses of the hounds and threw them near the shore of the pool.


    " Everyone, Retreat."


    Hearing Sang Qiuluo''smand, everyone slowly backed away.


    Not long after, they saw a few giant wolvesing out of the bushes. With howls, they scouted around the area.


    Each of the wolves had deep gray fur, with green eyes sparkling with some level of intellect.


    As they were focusing on sniffing the corpses, Jia Hao felt something was amiss.


    '' These are¡­Green Eyed Wolves. These wolves don''t look much powerful though?''


    '' Besides, why they are so less of them?''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao thought something as he turned around. His Sage''s Divine Eyes shone as he gazed at far.


    Jia Hao''s expression hardened when he saw several windows popping up.


    [ Green Eyed Wolf]


    [ Green Eyed Wolf!]


    [ Green Eyed Wolf (Alpha)]


    '' Fuck, these monsters are actually so intelligent? They tried to ambush us?'' Jia Hao was rmed as he looked at Sang Qiuluo.


    " Miss Sang, we are trapped."


    " Huh? What do you mean?"


    " I mean, the pack is behind us, surrounding our escape path."


    " What?"


    Li Qing and Zhou Yan were stunned when they heard Jia Hao. However, Zhou Yan slowly walked in that direction and made some confirmation.


    " I don''t know if Jia Hao is right. However, I can see some movement there."


    " Interesting, the moment we walk out and kill those wolves near the pool,, the wolves behind us would attack us instantly." Jia Hao mumbled.


    " Then, What should we do?" Li Qing asked Jia Hao.


    " Well, Since we know the hideout of the wolves, it would be much easier to deal with them." Sang Qiuluo replied.


    " Let''s go for a head on confrontation. In that way, we would have an advantage and an element of surprise."


    " Indeed, Miss Sang is right. We shall go ording to her n." Jia Hao also nodded.


    The archers nodded as they took their positions. The guards of Jia Hao moved as they prepared some simple traps in the surroundings.


    Sang Qiuluo nodded as she gave a signal to the archers.


    The moment they shot the arrows, the howls of the wolves erupted from the far.


    " Back away! Three of you, watch out for the wolves at the shore of the pool!"


    Jia Hao turned around and saw the wolves near the pool were confused. However, after a moment, they seemed to charge towards him.


    With a snort, Jia Hao brandished his saber, making it look like a sh of lightning.


    " AWWOOO!"


    The wolves screamed in agony as Jia Hao beheaded them, Although they looked three timesrger than any normal wolf, Jia Hao didn''t have any fear.


    His saber moved like a wild tiger as he killed all the wolvesing from behind.


    Meanwhile, the alpha of the pack brought its subordinate and reached the expedition team.


    Jia Hao''s eyes gleamed when he saw them.


    '' Come here, my free XPs.''

 Chapter 193: Killing The Pack Leader

    The archers were in suitable positions as they fired their arrows. However, the first was dense and the wolves were cunning. They already noticed that there were hunters who were aiming at them with arrows.


    Therefore, all the wolves heard the howl of the alpha as they charged toward the expedition team in a zigzag pathway.


    The archers tried to take down the alpha first as they imbued their arrows with their internal qi. However, the alpha wolf was cunning as it seemed to notice the iing arrows towards him.


    With a swat of his paw, he crushed the arrows.


    " They are here!"


    " Prepare to engage!"


    The guards of the Cai Family and the disciples of Crimson Dagger Dojo stood forward, with their weapons ready.


    As the wolves charged out from the bushes, they attacked them with all their might.


    " Kill! Kill those beasts!"


    " Leave none of them alive!!"


    The wolves wererger in size as they pounced on the guards. However, the guards of the Cai Family were seasoned fighters. Holding their spears, they marched forward.


    " Crimson Frenzy sh!"


    Sang Qiuliu snorted as she as she swung her sword. The crimson internal qi seeped into her sword as it turned into shadows, shing at the wolves.


    Meanwhile, two soldiers of the Cai Family stood forward as they held shields. Their shields shed with a blue radiance as they blocked the surge of the wolves.


    *BANG! BANGG!*


    The ws of the wolves crashed on the shields, making the blue light tremble. However, the guards didn''t back down as they blocked the attack repeatedly.


    The spearmen stood behind them as they attacked the wolves whose attacks got blocked. The team of five guards worked in a formation, dealing with the wolves with precision.


    However, the wolves are powerful beasts, with overwhelming power and endurance. Not to mention, there are more than fifty of them, with the alpha controlling them from behind.


    Jia Hao finally witnessed the power of the colored internal qi for the first time.


    With the crimson internal qi, Sang Qiuliu''s sword was turned excessively sharp, cutting through the thick fur of the demonic wolves with ease.


    Not to mention, the power, the precision, Sang Qiuliu was perfect in all.


    Meanwhile, the guards with blue internal qi were powerful. However, they focused more on defense. Their body strength and vitality were stronger than average, making them perfect as vanguards.


    Using them as defense, the guards attacked the weak points of the wolves, finishing them early.


    '' But, I can''t see the flow of internal qi in Zhou Yan''s body. No, It''s not that he isn''t using it.'' Jia Hao''s eyes squinted.


    '' It''s just that he is so powerful that he is using the minimal amount of energy to kill the wolf. However, the effect was better than any martial artist of Profound Awakening Realm.''


    Jia Hao didn''t waste any time as the wolves were getting killed by others. Holding his sword, his Sage''s Divine Eyes shed.


    Strange enough, he felt like the movements of these wolves slowed, making him look at their opening and ws.


    His saber became scalding hot as Jia Hao shed out. His movements were fast and swift, making the saber even deadlier.


    The saber was very heavy. However, Jia Hao with his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art managed to use it with as he pleased. However, he could feel the steady consumption of internal energy from his dantian.


    '' The saber really eating my internal energy, as if I am using some sort of technique. However, this consumption isn''t heavy and something I can manage easily.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he looked at walked he killed.


    The wolves gave more Miracle Point and blood vitality than other beasts Jia Hao had killed. A single wolf gave him more than200 Miracle points at once.


    Everyone was focused on the fight. However, at that moment, a loud cry rang across the forest, making the wind blow.


    The soldiers faltered when the howl hit him, making their bodies tremble. At that moment, the wolves overpowered them instantly.


    Even the arches on the tree trembled, making on of them fall down.


    As the wolves pounced at him, he closed his eyes in fear.


    However, a saber shed, killing a wolf and repelling another.


    Zhou Yan looked at the situation and shouted. " It''s the Alpha! It used the Dominant Howl! It will suppress the opponent, increasing their fear!"


    Jia Hao instantly noticed the fear and paralysis of the soldiers. The only people who weren''t affected were Li Qing and Zhou Yan. Even Sang Qiuliu was affected by the howl of the wolf.


    With his tree of desire active, Jia Hao could see that the fear was making everyone slow down. Two of them already lost to the wolves, However, Sang Qiuliu moved to save them.


    '' Is that a mix of physical and mental skill?'' Jia Hao''s mind raced as he tried to think of a way to solve this problem, Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he thought of a solution.


    '' If this skill induces fear in a creature''s mind¡­What if I override it?''


    Jia Hao focused his thoughts as he used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Art. Manipting his desire qi, Jia Hao poured them into the people affected by the Alpha''s howl.


    " Everyone! Don''t fear these mere beasts!" Jia Hao''s words charged them with enthusiasm, making their fear slowly reced with anger.


    " You want to be suppressed by these lowly beasts? Get hold of yourself and kill those filthy mutts!"


    Jia Hao felt multiple leaves of the tree of desire withered as the desire qi slowly made all the soldiers angry. Hearing Jia Hao''s words, they felt anger and hate towards the wolves, overriding their fear.


    " Charge!"


    " Kill those bastards!"


    " Damned mutts! Eat my spear!"


    Sang Qiuliu and Zhou Yan were surprised when they saw the sudden change of events. The fighters who were cowering earlier are now filled with fighting spirit.


    " Everyone!" Jia Hao shouted. " Let''s focus on killing that Alpha first! Without a leader, these wolves would be easy to kill!"


    " Young Lord, We shall open a path for you!"


    " I shall help too!


    Sang Qiuliu and the soldiers of the Cai Family acted together as they paved an opening for Jia Hao and others.


    Zhou Yan moved as he followed Jia Hao. " I shall take care of it."


    " No, Stay behind me and help me to block its attack." Jia Hao replied. " I shall be the one taking care of it."


    Jia Hao utilized the Fading Moon Steps as his body became a blur. Crossing the distance instantly, Jia Hao swung his saber.


    The saber filled with Jia Hao''s power as it shed at the Alpha. However, the Alpha was cunning, realizing Jia Hao''s intention easily.


    *CLANG!*


    It swatted its palm to block Jia Hao''s saber. With a wince, it saw its nails breaking. However, The Alpha blocked Jia Hao''s attack.


    Jia Hao was also stunned as he didn''t expect the beast to block his attack. But it simply increased his fighting intent.


    *AWOOOO!*


    Pouncing back, The Alpha opened its mouth, letting out arge howl. Jia Hao sensed the danger as his body flickered, jumping to another position.


    The grasses and leaves on the ground crushed as the howl of the Alpha was like a sonic attack, dealing physical damage to the surroundings.


    Suddenly, a dagger turned into a ray of light as it shot toward the Alpha. The Alpha sensed the danger as it tried to dodge.


    However, the dagger was too fast, making it stab the Alpha''s joins. The Alpha whimpered in pain as it tried to lung towards Zhou Yan.


    However, it saw a shadow flickering beside him as he saw a sh of silver.


    *PSSSS!*


    Jia Hao jumped forward as he stabbed his saber into the neck of the Alpha, making the blood sttered.


    The Alpha swung its palm to w Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao simply let go of his saber and retreated. Jumping towards the back of the Alpha, Jia Hao summoned strength in his fist.


    Mixing the Basic Fist Technique and Rock Shattering Fist, Jia Hao punched the ce where the dagger was stabbed.


    *CRACCK!*


    The sound of the bone cracking echoed as the Alpha fell on the ground, without being able to get up.


    Seeing that, the other wolves became panicked, as without their leader, they were nothing.


    " This is the moment! Kill them!" Sang Qiuliu shouted.


    " Charge!"


    " Kill them all!"


    Not long after, the expedition team hunted all the Green Eyed Wolves. There were no casualties, though there were some serious injuries.


    " These wolves were stronger than average beasts. Each of them reached Low rank beast stage." Sang Qiuliu frowned.


    " And this Alpha, It''s already¡­reached High stage." Zhou Yan frowned.


    " But it merely gained some intelligence and power. It''s obviously weaker than regr High rank beasts."


    Cracking open its skull, there was a small crystal inside.


    '''' Wow, It has a core!"


    Everyone''s eyes sparkled when they saw the core. It looked gray and muddy, but it was a core nheless.


    Zhou Yan threw it at Jia Hao. " Here, Your spoil."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he kept it. However, it instantly turned into dust as he pocketed it, making his expression odd.


    '' The fuck? Why did you absorb the core? I didn''t gave you permission yet!''


    Jia Hao screamed at the Pot of Miracles.


    [ Because Auto Absorption mode is one. Do you wish to disable?]


    Jia Hao''s expression turned odd.


    '' Is this some ck mobileany?''

 Chapter 194: Bright Snow Lotus

    Looking around, Sang Qiuliu sighed. She looked at the injured and gave strict orders.


    " Everyone, Gather around and help the injured. Apply healing medicine and patch their wounds."


    " Meanwhile, Everyone else, Cut the wolf carcass and their nails. Especially the Alpha. We need to carry its entire body back!"


    Jia Hao understood Sang Qiuliu''s reasons. After all, a single wolf can fetch more than ten thousand taels of gold at once. It''s because the fur, bones, and nails of these Green Eyed Wolves are precious.


    The fur can be made into clothes or armor and the nails are crafting materials. The fresh flesh of beasts also contains nutritional values.


    Not to mention, their green eyes can be crystalized and used as jewels.


    As for the Alpha, he can fetch around a hundred thousand taels of gold at once.


    " Well, Shall I help?"


    Jia Hao took a dagger as he activated his Swift Dagger Arts. Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he easily ripped apart the fur from the skin of the wolves.


    It took him barely ten minutes before hepletely deboned the entire wolf, separating everything precisely.


    " My my, Such precision. I never thought a noble like you has such swift deboning skill." Sang Qiuliu couldn''t help but click her tongue.


    After all, most of the nobles never dirty their hands in such work. But Jia Hao''s deboning speed was very fast, simr to a seasoned adventurer who knows the way to collect material from a beast.


    " Well, It''s nothing. I just happen to have some skills with daggers, that''s all." Jia Hao shrugged.


    However, Jia Hao was grinning inside. After this hunt, his Miracle Point already reached 3500. The alpha wolf alone gave him 500 Miracle Points.


    Not to mention, the blood vitality absorbed from the beasts made a slight progress as the meter showed 1% in the Pot of Miracle.


    '' This greedy pot. Do I really need to kill Innate Realm masters and devour their bodies?'' Jia Hao cursed in his mind.


    However, the other gains in this battle were some new skill cards.


    [ Sharp Senses Skill Shard] 10x


    [ Do you wish to fuse them?]


    Jia Hao nodded as the shards fused, making aplete skill card. As he absorbed it, Jia Hao suddenly felt a qualitative transformation in his body.


    His eyesight improved slightly, making things more astute. However, what increased was the sensitivity of his other four senses.


    '' My nose, ear, tongue, and skin¡­Everything feels so sensitive. So, this is the instinct of a beast?''


    After that, Jia Hao saw two hovering cards, and asked him to pick one. He realized both of them were from the alpha wolf.


    [ Howl of Intimidation (Mid Grade)]


    [ Domination Aura (Low Grade)]


    Jia Hao thought for a moment as he weighed the pros and cons of both skills.


    '' There are many martial arts which use voice as a lethal weapon. However, if I pick this, It might rouse some suspicion.''


    '' Besides, Other than frontal confrontation, this skill is pretty much useless.''


    '' However, The Domination Aura, although it''s a low grade skill¡­It has better uses. I can use it on both humans and beasts.''


    Jia Hao nodded as he picked the Domination Aura. Although he didn''t feel anything, he could feel he could activate his aura just with a thought.


    Zhou Yan''s eyelid twitched as he saw Jia Hao deboning more and more wolves. Li Qing noticed his expression. " What is it?"


    " That brat¡­He looks a bit different? As if he suddenly transformed¡­"


    " Huh? I don''t see anything though?" Li Qing was confused.


    " Maybe it''s my misconception." Zhou Yan shook his head. " But, I suddenly felt like Jia Hao''s aura suddenly became very¡­dominant and wild, just like the alpha wolf we found earlier."


    " I believe we should look for the herbs first?" Li Qing walked toward Sang Qiuliu and spoke. " Besides, Won''t the blood attract other beasts?"


    " The wolves are pretty territorial. For another pack to arrive here, It will take quite some time." Sang Qiuliu exined. " However, You are right. As they are deboning the corpses, we can go and look for the herb."


    " As we have heard, the person saw the Bright Snow Lotus beyond the waterfall."


    Jia Hao got up as he wiped his hands off the blood. " Very well, We should go there then."


    Reaching the pool, Jia Hao looked at it. The pond was deep and the water was clear. And it looked fresh and clean, urging someone to jump down and take a bath.


    [ Enriched Spring Water: Ordinary pool water enriched with energy seeping from a spatial crack. It has a mild healing effect]


    Jia Hao''s expression changed when he read the description of the pool water.


    '' What? Spatial crack? Here?''


    " What is it, Young Master Jia?" Sang Qiuliu asked Jia Hao. Jia Hao simply shook his head.


    " I just felt the water in this pool was a bit¡­odd. Like, it''s full of energy and healing property." Jia Hao answered. " Maybe, our soldiers can wash their wounds here?"


    " Huh? Is that so?"


    Zhou Yan bent down and touched the water. " He is right, The water is indeed carrying faint worldly energy. It''s good for the wounded soldiers to wash their wounds."


    Sang Qiuliu and Li Qing were stunned when they heard Zhou Yan''s words.


    " Wow, Young Lord Jia''s observations are pretty astute." Li Qing chuckled. " If that''s the case, why don''t you find the cave to us?"


    Jia Haoughed as he pointed in a direction. " It''s not hard to find. There you go."


    Li Qing''sugh paused as he looked at the direction Jia Hao was pointing. " Wait, Really?"


    Zhou Yan and Li Qing moved as they followed that direction. The waterfall was loud as it covered the entire area. However, only after standing at the right spot, one could see the faint outline of a cave behind the waterfall.


    Both Zhou Yan and Li Qing saw that as Li Qing pointed his finger. " There! I can see something glowing!"


    " That should be the Bright Snow Lotus!"


    Walking forward, Zhou Yan took the lead as he slowly entered the cave. The waterfall was strong and the ground was slippery. However, Zhou Yan''s steps remained firm as he helped Li Qing toe there.


    " Young Lord, Please be careful!"


    " No, I must see it!"


    Li Qing''s steps staggered as the terrain was rocky. However, he didn''t mind it as he walked forward. At the end of the cave, there was no pond. However, a strange white lotus was firmly rooted on the ground.


    " This¡­This is Bright Snow Lotus." Li Qing murmured. But as he counted the petals, he couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Fuck, It''s only a six petal one. We need the twelve petal lotus."

 Chapter 195: Spatial Crack

    " Young Master, I believe this should have some effect too." Zhou Yan spoke.


    " It''s true¡­But it won''t be as effective as it should be." Li Qing clenched his fist. " Anyway, Take it and put it inside the jade box. We have already spent a lot of time in Nanhai City. We need to return to the capital."


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao and Sang Qiuliu stood outside. Sang Qiuliu felt Jia Hao was paying more attention to the pool.


    " What is it, Young Master Jia?"


    Jia Hao chuckled. " You don''t need to address me Young Master every time, Lady Sang."


    " Then don''t call me like that too." Sang QIuliu chuckled. " How about this, Brother Jia?"


    " Well then, I shall call you Sister Qiuliu." Jia Hao nodded with a smile.


    " So, What are you looking at, Brother Jia?" Sang Qiuliu asked with a smile. " Oh, Perhaps you are feeling all stiff and wanting to take a bath?"


    " Why? Does Sister Qiukiu wish to apany me there?" Jia Hao grinned.


    Sang Qiuliu was surprised as her face turned slightly red, making her look away. " Bah! Brother Jia, You are a bit too forward."


    " Well, I do tend to be a bit cheeky near beautiful women." Jia Hao grinned.


    " But enough of that. I feel¡­This pool is unusual. I wonder if something is hidden inside it."


    '' Hmm, The pool isn''t too deep. If something happens, I can swim out.''


    To Sang Qiuliu''s surprise, Jia Hao moved as she took off his upper robe, revealing his toned muscles. Without waiting, he jumped into the pool.


    With Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes, he could see clearly inside the pool. However, at that moment, he heard another ssh.


    Turning around, he saw it was Sang Qiuliu, who chose to follow him. Jia Hao didn''t bother to get above the surface, He just gestured for Sang Qiuliu to stay behind him and follow him.


    Sang Qiuliu nodded as she slowly swam behind Jia Hao. Soon enough, Jia Hao noticed an underwater cave.


    Although it was dark inside, Jia Hao could see inside with his Sage''s Divine Eyes. Suddenly, his gaze narrowed as he hit a dead end.


    One might think it was just a shallow hole inside the pond. But Jia Hao ced his palm on the surface of the wall as he could feel it wasn''t dense at all.


    Backing away a bit, Jia Hao used his saber and stabbed forward. The water made his movement slow, but he kept stabbing the wall more and more.


    Suddenly, he felt some movement as he looked at his side. A giant eel charged toward him like an agile serpent.


    *KRRR!*


    Suddenly, blood burst out as the eel got cut. Jia Hao saw it was none other than Sang Qiuliu, who was holding a sword. Her eyes urged Jia Hao to move faster.


    With a thankful gaze, Jia Hao twisted his saber as he made a small crack on the wall before him. As the hole was made, Jia Hao used his hands to hold its edges and rip it apart, tearing the hole wide open.


    The water bubbled as Jia Hao felt a surge of vacuum forward. As he made the hole wide open, Jia Hao and Sang Qiuliu moved into it.


    All they felt was a sh of blinding light, Sang Qiuliu and Jia Hao felt their body bing disoriented. They couldn''t make any sense of the direction they were moving, but they were just moving.


    Suddenly, they swam upwards as they saw a rock ceiling. Looking around, the space was very spacious.


    " This¡­Where the hell is this?" Sang Qiuliu breathed for air as she looked around.


    " This ce¡­This doesn''t feel like underground at all. The air¡­It''s fresh. The energy here is rich too."


    " Miss Sang¡­I believe we have entered a spatial pocket." Jia Hao looked around as he deduced.


    The bright sh of light and slight dizziness, it was probably because Jia Hao got shifted in space.


    Sang Qiuliu''s expression changed when she heard that. " What? A spatial crack? This¡­This is dangerous."


    " No, I don''t think so." Jia Hao replied. " This pocket is very small. I doubt there could be much danger here."


    " Sister Qingliu, Go back and inform Qing Li. I shall scout around here."


    " No, Brother Jia, It could be dangerous." Sang Qiuliu shook her head. " Promise me you won''t move around. Let mee back with others."


    Jia Hao smiled at Sang Qiuliu''s concern. Very well, Sister Qingliu. I shall be waiting for you."


    Sang Qiuliu gave him a stare as she nodded. Taking a deep breath, she dove back and returned to the Wolven Fountain.


    Without wasting any time, Jia Hao turned around and started to walk around the cave.


    With his Sage'' Divine Eyes, he wasn''t afraid of any ambushes. However, he still gripped his saber as he moved slowly.


    [ Water Crystal Ore: A metal ore with water affinity. It''s perfect for making flexible weapon for water element user]


    [ Water Crystal Ore]


    [ Water Energy Crystal: A small crystal filled with turbid water elemental energy]


    '' Eh? What''s this?''


    Jia Hao picked a small glittering crystal. Throwing it inside the Pot of Miracles, The crystal turned into dust. Jia Hao was amazed when he saw the pot was epting all the energy.


    '' Not to mention, the quality of these crystals is low¡­but they are still passable.''


    Looking around, Jia Hao found a few more crystals and absorbed them all. He kept a few to give to Li Qing.


    But then, Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he suddenly felt some movement in the dark.


    In the cave, there was a small pool of water. It was shallow, but the color was like light blue crystal, with two bright lotus swaying gently.


    Not only that, there wererger crystals embedded in the wall, making it look like the center of the treasure trove.


    However, Jia Hao''s eyes remained on the guardian, who was eating a giant fish leisurely.


    The scales were shining like refined iron, and the eyes were bright reptilian. It was a giant crocodile with six feet unlike four. The size was massive, as if could gulp an adult male with a single swoop.


    [ Iron Back Crocodile: A mid rank beast with the defense of a high rank beast. Despite its size, it can charge forward very fast. But it has trouble to walk in a zigzag way. The weak point is near its neck]


    '' Well, It looks like I have some hunting to do¡­'' Jia Hao grinned as he slowly took out some wolf meat he carried inside the pot,


    Soon enough, the crocodile twitched and smelled the scent of blood. With caution and curiosity, it slowly moved in that direction.


    However, as it pounced toward the wolf meat, Jia Hao stepped out from the side as he used his saber.


    " Crimson Frenzy de Art! Scarlet de Storm!"


    .


    .


    .

 Chapter 196: Destroying The Spatial Crack

    Jia Hao didn''t wish to engage with the crocodile at all. Distracting it with the meat, Jia Hao simply cast his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts on it, making it feel gluttony and greed.


    Perhaps because of the low intelligence of the crocodile beast, Jia Hao managed to attract its sense towards the meat. Not to mention, the crocodile was so engrossed that it didn''t feel Jia Hao''s presence.


    Greed, one of the three greater sins along with anger and lust, can be very impactful. The greed of receiving a free meal, the gluttony of having a new type of meat, everything made the crocodile susceptible to Jia Hao''s attack.


    Jia Hao also didn''t take chances at all. Seeing the crocodile was in a vulnerable position, Jia Hao simply attacked it with all his might.


    His saber shone with a sharp glint as Jia Hao cut precisely at the weak spot of the crocodile.


    Blood sttered as the crocodile screeched with pain. However, Jia Hao was already prepared.


    Putting all strength into his arms, Jia Hao pushed the crocodile, flipping it on its back.


    Now, the crocodile could only wave its six legs as it tried to get back on them. However, Jia Hao pulled out another dagger and kept stabbing its neck.


    With a thrust, he pierced the skull of the crocodile, killing it instantly.


    The body of the crocodile became silent as the light in its eyes faded. Jia Hao panted as he ced his hands on it.


    Suddenly, the crocodile''s blood and flesh withered slightly as Jia Hao absorbed the blood vitality and the energy of its monster core.


    As he walked towards the pool, Jia Hao noticed the water was cool.


    [ Bright Snow Lotus: It''s a twelve petal lotus that has maturedpletely. It can effectively suppress venoms and contamination of dark attribute energy]


    There were two of them, so it was natural for Jia Hao to take one of it.


    However, the moment Jia Hao stepped into the pool, he felt an icy chill inside it.


    Looking below, he saw several bright blue stones inside, each as big as a baby''s fist with a bigger stone in the middle.


    [ Clear Water Crystal: Crystal containing pure water energy. It can effectively suppress fire attribute damage and let the user cultivate water affinity technique]


    '' These are looking like a superior version of normal water crystals. There are at least a dozen of them. Not to mention, such a big piece in the middle.''


    However, when Jia Hao looked at the bigger piece, which was the size of a human head, he noticed additional information.


    [ This is also the energy node of a spatial crack]


    Jia Hao pondered for a moment as he took a deep breath. '' Alright, Let''s do this.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " What? There is a spatial crack underneath?"


    Li Qing and Zhou Yan were stunned when they heard that.


    " No wonder, the wolves might be stronger than normal Green Eyed wolves because of this." Li Qing spected.


    " Indeed, The energy from the spatial crack isn''t low. Perhaps this pool also got enchanted because of it. The energy enriched the pool, making it gain healing property."


    The guards who fought against the wolves were taking a rest on the shore. However, when they heard there was a spatial crack inside, they couldn''t help but have mixed emotions.


    After all, spatial cracks were filled with dangers and opportunities. Either, they would get killed by some fearsome monster, or they would get the wealth of a lifetime.


    " Brother Jia already went inside. We can''t let him stay there alone." Sang Qiuliu urged.


    " Young Master, I shall go first. The spatial crack might be dangerous." Zhou Yan replied.


    " No, We should go together. I mean, I will be more safe with you." Li Qing argued.


    Sang Qiuliu nodded as she guided them. However, as they were about to dive, the pool suddenly bubbled.


    " Huh? What''s this?"


    " The ground! It''s shaking?"


    " Something happened to the spatial crack?"


    *BOOM! BOOOM!*


    Cracks spread across the edge of the pool as the water slowly lessened by the length of an arm. However, as everyone was being concerned, a figure emerged from the pool.


    " PWHAAAA!!!"


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he slowly swam to the shore. Sang Qiuliu rushed forward and helped him to get up.


    " Brother Jia! Are you alright?"


    " Yes, I am fine¡­"


    Li Qing was going to say something, but his expression changed when he saw the thing Jia Hao was holding in his hands.


    " Thi-That¡­Is that a Bright Snow Lotus? A twelve petal one?" Li Qing asked with a trembling voice.


    " Indeed, Brother Li''s eyes are pretty sharp." Jia Hao chuckled as he showed the lotus.


    " Brother Jia, Can you give it to me?" Li Qing couldn''t help but urge instantly.


    " Why?" Jia Hao appeared to be confused. " I thought you got one inside the cave behind the waterfall?"


    " Th-That''s a six petal one, which is weaker than a twelve petal lotus." Li Qing exined.


    " Don''t worry, Brother Jia, I will not take it for free. How about we exchange our herbs? Along with the six petal lotus, I will give you a suitable amount topensate you."


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before handing the herb to Li Qing. " Well, I believe I can do that. Here, take this."


    " Thank you, Thank you a lot, Brother Jia." Li Qing was ted as he hugged Jia Hao.


    " You really dragged me out of a big trouble."


    " Haha, I just did what I was supposed to do." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Brother Jia, I believe I asked you not to wander on your own in the secret realm?" Sang Qiuliu berated Jia Hao. " What if there was some danger?"


    " Hehe, I am sorry, Sister Qiuliu." Jia Hao scratched his head. " But, I saw there wasn''t any movement inside. The secret realm was small and the lotus was in my sight, So¡­"


    " So, What happened to the spatial crack?" Zhou Yan asked.


    " It copsed." Jia Hao replied. " I think it happened after I plucked this lotus."


    " This lotus must be the spatial node of the spatial crack." Zhou Yan spected." After you plucked, it became unstable."


    " What about other things? There was only one herb inside?" Sang Qiuliu asked.


    Jia Hao chuckled as he ced a sack down and showered some ores and water crystals.


    " I thought these looked valuable. So, I got all of them inside my bag."


    " These...These look like water energy crystals. Although they are small, they are valuable."


    " As for these ore chunks, I need to go back and appraise them."


    " I got what I want, so you can take this." Li Qing spoke first.


    Jia Hao nodded as he picked a few pieces," It will be enough for me. Sister Qiuliu, you did a lot today. So, the rest belongs to you."


    " Are you sure? They are pretty valuable." Sang Qiuliu was stunned. But Jia Hao merely smiled.


    " Not valuable as our rtionship, Sister Qiuliu." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, Think of this as a gift from me."


    At that moment, the pool became calm once again, though the water remained turning.


    Jia Hao looked above as he saw a burst of starlight above his forehead.

 Chapter 197: Waiting Wife

    Jia Hao was stunned when he felt the burst of starlight above him. It was simply iparable to his past umtion of virtue.


    If the precious virtues were like a spill of water, this time, it came like a gushing river.


    Jia Hao felt his internal energy restored by quite a bit as the foundation slowly absorbed the virtue, making the surface pristine.


    '' What is it? Why did I suddenly got such a great amount of virtue?''


    '' Is it because I broke the spatial crack?''


    Jia Hao''s mind spun as I started to think of various possibilities. After pondering hard, he finally reached a conclusion.


    Generally, spatial cracks are considered as the remnant of another world unsessfully merging in Yun Continent. The cracks can be big or small, but all of them contains dense amount of otherworldly energy.


    With such energy, the flora and fauna could mutate and otherworldly monster can nurture themselves, turning into a bigger threat.


    '' Perhaps, this spatial crack wasn''t supposed to be discovered now. Perhaps it was supposed to be discovered by some otherworldly monster, strengthening them.''


    '' Yes. With that, the chance of beast tide would increase, damaging the poption of Nanhai City even more.''


    '' With I clearing the spatial crack, the threat of beast tide would decrease. Therefore, I identally saved a lot of people from premature death!''


    Jia Hao suddenly felt a warm cloth on his body as he broke from his idle imagination. He saw Sang Qiuliu smiling at him.


    " You must be cold. Wipe off the water from your body."


    " Ah, Thank you, Sister Qiuliu. You are really nice." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Since we have gotten what we want, We should hurry back." Li Qing spoke as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " I shall carry the luggage. You all must be tired." Zhou Yan looked at the sack filled with the meat and material of the wolves.


    The soldiers were also somewhat recovered. So, they also got up and carried the luggage.


    As it was evening, Jia Hao and his crew stepped out from the forest, reaching Nanhai City''s outskirts.


    However, Jia Hao was surprised when he looked at the horizon. There was a familiar figure standing there.


    " Wife, I didn''t expect you to wait for me." Jia Hao jested as he reached near Cai Yixue.


    " Bah, Who was waiting for you?" Cai Yixue spoke lightly. " I was just passing by. But I heard some news that you have arrived from Nanhai Mountain. So, I chose toe here."


    " Hehe, As you say."


    Looking behind him, Cai Yixue and Minmin''s eyes squinted as they saw Sang Qiuliu.


    " Hoho, It''s nice to meet you, Miss Cai." Sang Qiuliu cupped her fist before Cai Yixue with a smile.


    " I am Sang Qiuliu, From Crimson Dagger Dojo."


    " I guess your title as the first beauty of Nanhai City isn''t underserved at all."


    " That''s just what people say, Miss Sang." Cai Yixue shook her head. " You also went with him?"


    " Indeed, I did." Sang Qiuliu smiled. " I have to admit, Brother Jia isn''t as much as frail as he looks."


    " He fought against beasts and yed quite a few of them."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " He is pretty reliable, Isn''t he?"


    " Haha, You can say that. Brother Jia is very reliable."


    Jia Hao scratched his head when he saw how Sang Qiuliu was praising him. Seeing Li Qing on the side, Jia Hao used the chance to slip away.


    " Hehe, Brother Jia, You are truly fortunate to have such a virtuous wife." Li Qing chuckled.


    " Well, I guess so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " However, I would like to ask something from you, Brother Li."


    " You can speak, Brother Jia. You helped me so much here. If it''s within my reach, I will do whatever you ask."


    Jia Hao was pleased with Li Qing''s answer. " Well, It''s both simple yet difficult. I wonder if Brother Li would agree to this?"


    " Haha, Just say it." Li Qing was also interested in what Jia Hao wanted to ask from him."


    " I would like to pass a message to His Majesty." Jia Hao replied frankly. " Please, inform him that in the near future, the Cai Family shall show its loyalty once again."


    " However, a loyal dog also has some expectations. If the master wishes to kill the dogs after hunting the rabbit, then it''s only natural for the dog to bite the master."


    " Audacious!" Zhou Yan stepped forward as he red at Jia Hao. " How can you say that against Imperial Family?"


    Jia Hao wasn''t bothered by Zhou Yan''s anger as he simply kept looking at Li Qing. Zhou Yan gave off that murderous aura, but Jia Hao remained calm.


    '' Interesting...Is the Domination Aura working? Shielding me from Zhou Yan?''


    Loyalty is good, but if it means being thrown aside by a person like a pawn, Jia Hao would rather pick the path of revolt and betrayal.


    Li Qing was also stunned for a moment beforeughing out loud. " Haha, How true, how true¡­"


    " Brother Jia, I shall convey your message word by word to His Majesty."


    " And, as a token of appreciation, Please keep this."


    Jia Hao was surprised when Li Qing handed him a token.


    " With this, You will have my grace. You can enter my pce whenever youe to the Capital." Li Qing chuckled.


    Turning around, he looked at Zhou Yan and beckoned him. " Let''s go, I can''t wait any longer."


    Jia Hao looked at the token and saw there was a flying dragon insignia on it. However, there was only a pair of ws on its body.


    '' Feathered Dragon, which symbolizes the power of the crown prince. To think he would give me this.'' Jia Hao was amused.


    However, looking at Li Qing''s action regarding Bright Snow Lotus, It looked like he desperately needed that herb. And since Jia Hao gave him that, it was natural for him to be grateful.


    '' But right now, I don''t need the gratefulness of the crown prince. I need the support from the Emperor himself. Only he can make the Cai Family remain safe and steady in this time of chaos.''


    '' Besides, All I need is time. A year or two, and the Cai Family would be enough to overpower the Imperial Family.''


    " Who was he? He didn''t look like an ordinary noble."


    Jia Hao turned around and saw it was Cai Yixue. Cai Yixue looked at the departing Li Qing and Zhou Yan with a strange gaze.


    " I think I have seen that man before¡­"


    " He is the crown prince Li Qing." Jia Hao replied.


    " I see¡­Wait, What?!"


    Cai Yixue paused as her eyes widened. " Yo-You!! Why didn''t you tell me? Crown Prince himself was here?"


    " In disguise." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " And, I am sure you don''t want to remove the disguise of Crown Prince himself, right?"


    Speechless, Cai Yixue couldn''t help but agree with what Jia Hao was saying.


    " But still, I didn''t think you were in contact with Crown Prince Li. Why didn''t you tell me?"


    " As if you tell me everything."


    " Can you¡­just not throw jabs at me all the time?" Cai Yixue spoke with an irritated tone.


    Jia Hao shrugged as he turned around, looking at Minmin. " Bring the meat of alpha wolf to Chef Liang. Tonight, I am expecting a feast."


    " Yes, Young Lord."

 Chapter 198: Wolf Meat

    " Hah, You actually saw a spatial crack in Nanhai Mountain?" Cai Yunhai was stunned when he heard that from Jia Hao.


    " You sure didn''t enter the core of Twisted Dark Forest or something like that, right?"


    " It''s around Wolven Fountain." Jia Hao replied. " It was really well hidden. We almost missed it."


    " But due to the energy leakage, the beasts around the Wolven Fountain became stronger."


    Jia Hao, Cai Yixue, Li Rou, and Cai Yunhai were sitting at the dining table. Cai Yunhai was surprised when he heard about Jia Hao''s adventures today.


    " There were only Green Eyed Wolves there?" Cai Yunhai frowned. " That ce is the territory of various wolves. But you only encountered one?"


    " Sang Qiuliu was also a bit skeptical. However, since we finished our task, we didn''t look further." Jia Hao replied.


    " Maybe the other beasts gathered somewhere else? Or, You are simply lucky?" Li Rou spected.


    " Hmm, Mother in Law is wise. I believe it''s the former reason." Jia Hao chuckled.


    Soon enough, the dishes were served before Jia Hao. Taking a sniff, Cai Yunhai chuckled.


    " Well, Most meat of demonic beasts is unconsumable. But The Green Eyed Wolves are an exception."


    " It''s been a while since I have eaten such a nutritious meal."


    Thanks to Jia Hao''s sauces and Chef Liang''s effort, the table was covered with various tters of dishes.


    " Well, I have heard you went to our smithies and gave them some tips"


    " Yes, Father in Law." Jia Hao nodded. " I believe we need to improve our smithies. As a military family, it would be better if we make our own equipment than relying on others."


    " Haah, It used to be easier." Cai Yunhai grumbled. " But Father gave arge part of the iron ore vein to other ns. So, we had to work with what we had."


    '' What is that not given away by your family?'' Jia Hao muttered inwardly.


    He was truly speechless at his protagonist''s aura. Such a cliche family with problems and troubles at each step.


    " Father in Law, Can you start gathering soldiers? I would like to see them trained."


    " Well, That''s possible." Cai Yunhai thought for a moment. " It''s been a while since we did army exercise. It''s also a good chance to teach them the Hundred Army Battle Formation."


    " That''s on you, Father in Law." Jia Hao shook his head. " Despite I have read the technique. Ick experience. All I can do is to give some tips to improve the training. You need to lead them, Father in Law."


    " Hmm, I believe so." Cai Yunhai nodded. " But I think you are getting a bit excited. Why do you wish to improve the family strength so fast?"


    " Father in Law, just because we are living in a peaceful time, doesn''t mean it''s peaceful." Jia Hao replied calmly.


    " Besides, You know it right? The bigger fist makes the rule here. If we had enough power, the Shen Family and Silkward Chambers wouldn''t have messed with us."


    Cai Yunhai flinched as he sighed. Cai Yixue couldn''t help but re at Jia Hao.


    " Father is doing alright. No matter what, Father is a General under His Majesty and one of his loyal subjects."


    " Loyalty can''t be eaten, Wife." Jia Hao smiled. " And I would rather remain precarious from being loyal to the Imperial Family."


    " Yo-You!"


    " Yixue, It''s alright." Cai Yunhai replied with a sigh. " I have to admit, I did make some bas decisions back then. If I was a bit flexible, our Cai Family would be more than just a military family."


    " However, Perhaps that''s how you are?" Li Rou soothed Cai Yunhai. " If you didn''t do what you did back then, You wouldn''t be bearing the Cai Family bloodline."


    Jia Hao smiled with a sigh. " I am sorry Father in Law if you felt it like an insult. I just wish to grow the Cai Family more and more."


    " And, I believe we better start early." Jia Hao chuckled. " Danger doesn''te with a warning."


    Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with skeptical eyes. She felt like Jia Hao was hiding something.


    '' But he won''t tell if I ask him. Haah, Things became soplicated.'' She thought inwardly.


    Jia Hao''s eyes gleamed when he tasted the meat of the Green Eyed Wolves.


    " Whoa? This¡­This is so tender! My goodness, It tastes amazing!"


    " And these are fried strips, huh? The sauce on it is pretty damn good."


    Jia Hao never had wolf meat before. However, eating this, He couldn''t help but smack his lips with pleasure.


    '' Mhmhm, The taste of demonic beasts is pretty good. I wonder if I should hunt a variety of demonic beasts and cook them?''


    " Actually, How are the beasts ssified? The one we fought, I feel it was on par with a High stage Profound Awakening Realm martial artist."


    " Generally, The term demon epassed everything that gained sentient across the years with worldly energy. Beasts, Trees, or even treasures, everything can be a demon."


    " For the beast race, their natural power and talent is above than us. Not to mention, all they need to do is to kill and eat other beasts and they will be more powerful."


    " Beasts are divided into three stages. Low, Mid, High stage beast. Only after they evolve and gain intelligence, they turn into Demonic Beasts."


    " Demonic beasts are divided into nine ranks. A rank three demonic beast is powerful as a Low stage Innate Realm Master. A rank six demonic beast is same as Grandmaster Realm. A rank nine demonic beast is as powerful as A True Sage Realm master."


    " Same with otherworldly monsters." Cai Yixue exined. " Rank one monsters are weakest, while rank nine monsters are the strongest. However, there wasn''t any record beyond rank seven otherworldly monsters."


    " Hehe, Wife, You know quite a lot." Jia Hao grinned as he heard Cai Yixue''s exnation. Cai Yixue blushed as she looked away.


    " This¡­This is just some basic knowledge. I am surprised that you don''t know it."


    " Well, There are many things I don''t know." Jia Hao shrugged. Suddenly, he saw Chef Liang presenting another bowl of dishes.


    " Wow, That looks sizzling." Jia Hao could smell the aroma of ginseng and herbs inside the bowl of soup.


    His Sage''s Divination Eyes opened as he looked at the bowl.


    [ Angry Wolf''s Soup]


    '' Ok? That''s a weird name, but ok?''


    But when Jia Hao read the description, his expression turned odd.


    [ Made with wolf''s penis and dder and seasoned with special herbs and roots. The delicious soup increases the flow of Yang Energy in the male''s body, making them arouse and perform well in bed]


    " Honey, It''s from the alpha wolf. You should eat it too."


    " Heh, How considerate." Cai Yunhai snorted lightly when he heard Li Rou. " Fattening me up before harvesting, huh?"


    " Well, You should try it too, Xiao Hao." Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " Uhm, I¡­ I don''t think I can eat more, Father in Law." Jia Hao sweated as he replied.


    " Huh? I mean, We can''t eat it alone?" Li Rou probed. " Yixue, Hao''er, You should eat it. You are a newly married couple. This soup will strengthen your rtionship."


    " Is that so?" Cai Yixue muttered lightly. Taking thedle she served Jia Hao.


    " Wife, Do you know what dish is that?" Jia Hao asked with a twitching face.


    " I don''t know. But it smells nice." Cai Yixue replied. " Speaking of that, What dish is that, Mother?"


    " Hoho, Don''t worry. It''s a secret." Li Rou grinned as she looked at Cai Yixue. " All I can say it''s good for you and Hao''er."


    Jia Hao almost spat out when he heard that. However, He controlled himself.


    '' Damn it, Mother in Law is too fierce. She is giving Father in Law way too much.''


    '' Hehe, Father in Law is still active at this age, huh? Could it be¡­''


    Jia Hao thought about something as he couldn''t help but sigh.


    '' Maybe I should help them. It would be best for the Cai Family too¡­''


    " Hm? You are not eating?"


    Jia Hao flinched at Cai Yixue''s question. " Well, Wife, I already ate too much. I believe I can''t eat more."


    " Bah! Useless!"


    Cai Yunhai snorted as he chugged the Spring Wine. " You are a young man. You should have a better appetite."


    '' I am afraid your daughter would leave me hungry if I have an appetite.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    What if he ate it and became all energized and virile, only for Cai Yixue to leave him in the cold? It would be the same as getting blue balled hard.


    " Jia Hao, I am thinking of making you the chief investigator of Nanhai City''s investigation team." Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao as he drank more wine.


    " So, I can meddle in the cases rightfully?" Jia Hao pursed his lips. " Father in Law, I don''t like working at all. How can I run around and solve cases?"


    " Hah? So, You only want to sit in the house and freeload?" Cai Yunhai shouted, his face was flushed.

 Chapter 199: Cosplaying As Young Master?

    " I am giving you the badge, even if you are agreeing or not." Cai Yunhai huffed.


    " Not to mention, this will help you to increase your reputation."


    " Husband, It''s alright. Hao''er is already helping us a lot." Li Rou soothed Cai Yunhai.


    " What do you know?" Cai Yunhai snorted. There was clear frustration in his eyes.


    " There are so many cases, so many files! I am getting tired of reviewing everything. Besides, Those shitty court sessions, not a single case is solved without us squeezing out the truth from the culprit."


    " Haah, He is drunk again." Li Rou got up and helped Cai Yunhai. " Hao''er, don''t mind him, Ok? It''s just the job of City Magistrate is really tiresome."


    " I understand, Mother in Law." Jia Hao smiled lightly. He knew Cai Yunhai was just jesting.


    " Alright, Now excuse us."


    " Ngghh! Let me go! I am sober!" Cai Yunhai muttered as Li Rou took him away.


    " Sure, Let''s go back to our bedroom. We can discuss it there."


    Jia Hao shuddered as he saw a faint smirk on Li Rou''s face as she took Cai Yunhai back to the bedroom.


    '' Damn, Mother in Law''s intentions are anything but good.''


    Giving a silent prayer for Cai Yunhai, Jia Hao gently swung his wine cup.


    " What are you thinking?"


    " I am thinking, There is so much meat. But, won''t they get spoilt if they remain outside?"


    " Most meat was stored in cold storage." Cai Yixue replied. " With that, it remains secure for a few days. But still, there are chances for the meat to get spoilt."


    " Hah? You got cold storage here?" Jia Hao was interested. " Is it filled with ice?"


    " Nope, What you were talking about is the Frozen Chambers. Those are expensive to make. Not only do you need Volcano Dust y and Millenium Yin Iron as walls, you need to engrave them with rune diagrams."


    " There are only two Frozen Storage in Nanhai City. One is used by the Law department as the morgue. But it''s much smaller."


    " The second one is under Suo Family. They used it to keep various meat and vegetables. That''s more like a business for them. You need to pay for them to keep your stuff in storage safe."


    " Actually, It became popr only fifty years ago. It was researched by the otherworldly beings and studied by Taoist priests and monks here."


    " Our talisman works only worked on small things like charms or weapons. However, with the otherworldly knowledge, they expanded the rune diagrams."


    '' Hmm, So basically a magical freezer? The rune diagram absorbs the energy crystals from monsters and from the surroundings to keep the storage cold?''


    '' I guess we can make some money here too. Soon enough, our smithies would start producing superior Millenium Yin Iron.''


    " Interesting. I always wanted to meet these otherworldly beings. I wonder if there are some here?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " I am sure there would be." Cai Yixue didn''t deny it, but her gaze still went back to the small pool of soup in Jia Hao''s bowl.


    " Why didn''t you drink that? Mom said it was tasty." Cai Yixue asked.


    " Uh?" Jia Hao looked at the Wolf''s soup and looked back at Cai Yixue. " Why didn''t you drink it?"


    " I drank the soup just a little. It''s too spicy for me. And it tastes rather¡­Hmm, Energetic." Cai Yixue muttered.


    " You spent your time in Nanhai Mountains. I believe it should rejuvenate you."


    Jia Hao smiled wryly when he heard that. " Thank you for your concern, Wife. However, As I said, I am full today."


    Suddenly, leaning towards her, Jia Hao smirked. " And, I believe you would rather not let me drink this."


    As he walked away, Cai Yixue sat on her seat stunned.


    '' Hu-Huh? Why? Why did he say that?''


    " Minmin, Come here."


    " Yes, Young Miss?"


    Minmin looked at Cai Yixue as she stood beside her.


    " Check about this soup from Chef Liang."


    Minmin nodded as she went to the kitchen. But when she came back, her expression was slightly flushed.


    " Huh? What is it?"


    " Uhm¡­ This is soup is¡­Very good for men." Minmin mumbled.


    " That''s also something I know." Cai Yixue replied knowingly.


    " Hu-Huh?" Minmin was speechless. " Young Miss, You are teasing me right?"


    " If you knew the purpose of this soup, Why did you send me to the kitchen? Gosh, I was so embarrassed."


    " Why would you?" Cai Yixue appeared to be confused. " Wait, I don''t get it. It''s just good for men, right? What''s so bad about it."


    " It''s¡­To make them healthy on¡­Bed."


    Minmin suppressed her voice as she spoke. But looked at Cai Yixue''s befuddled expression, she finally spoke with even more rity.


    " This soup makes men increase their libido andst longer during the sex."


    Cai Yixue was stunned as her white face turned bright red instantly.


    " I¡­I¡­I didn''t know that¡­"


    Putting the pieces together, Cai Yixue finally realized why Jia Hao gave an odd expression when he was given the soup.


    '' Curses! He already knew! And, The way he talked me in the end¡­Ugh, Why did I not guess that?''


    She took a sip of wine as she walked back to the room. Jia Hao was sitting under amp light as he read some documents. Seeing him, Cai Yixue leans on the wall.


    " I wonder something."


    " Yes?" Jia Hao looked at her.


    " How many women do you have actually?"


    Jia Hao raised his brows as he heard a rather unexpected question. " Hmm, What do you think, Wife?"


    " You already have Xu Chen in your heart." Cai Yixue rolled her eyes. " And, Let''s count Sang Qiuliu in just for the sake."


    '' Add your sister too, Wife.''


    Of course, Jia Hao swallowed his words, letting Cai Yixue continue.


    " But, I feel you have other women in that ce." Cai Yixue looked at her. " The ce when you go to bring all those strange stuff."


    " Ah, Wife is pretty sharp, huh?" Jia Hao grinned. " Are you perhaps jealous?"


    " Why would I be?" Cai Yixue snorted lightly. " I was just¡­Curious. That''s all."


    Turning around, she shrugged. " I believed I gave you the freedom to seek other women. So, I don''t really care¡­As long as doesn''t affect our reputation."


    " Hmmm¡­"


    Jia Hao didn''t reply as he saw Cai Yixue walk to the main bedroom.


    Suddenly, Cai Yixue gasped as she felt someone holding her from behind. She struggled, but the grasp was too tight.


    " Aw, You smell so nice, Wife." Jia Hao muttered as he sniffed her hair. His warm breath made Cai Yixue tingle with a strange anticipation.


    " Wh-What are you doing?" Cai Yixue hissed with a suppressed breath.


    " What? Can''t I touch my wife?" Jia Hao cooed, holding her supple waist tighter.


    " Hah, I thought you were thinking about your other lovers." Cia Yixue snorted lightly. " Why show affection to your cold and emotionless wife?"


    " Didn''t you say it yourself?" Jia Hao grinned as he kissed her nape, Making Cai Yixue shiver.


    " You are my wife after all."


    Cai Yixue was stunned when she heard that.


    " Why would I think of other women, When I have my wife?" Jia Hao spoke lightly. " Since I am with you now, I will only think of you."


    '' What is it? What is it I am feeling?'' Cai Yixue bit her lips as she sighed.


    Feeling the mood of Cai Yixue, Jia Hao let her go.


    Silently reaching the threshold of the bedroom, Cai Yixue turned around.


    " It''ste and you must be tired. Noting to sleep?"


    " I am afraid. Not tonight." Jia Hao smiled ruefully. " I have to return."


    " Alright."


    Cai Yixue replied shortly as she went to the bedroom. However, she couldn''t help but sigh in disappointment.


    " Well, I thought maybe¡­we could sleep cuddling today."


    " Ugh, What are you thinking, Yixue? It''s not supposed to be like that."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Sleeping on the sofa, Jia Hao woke up on the sofa once again. But this time, It was in the Su Family mansion.


    " Ugh, It''s morning already?"


    Jia Hao yawned as he got up.


    " Hu-Huh? What are you wearing?"


    Jia Hao''s body chilled as he looked behind. It was none other than Su Xing''er.


    " Xi-Xing''er?"


    " Good Morning. But, What''s with your attire?"


    Su Xing''er was stunned when she saw Jia Hao in his ancient robe.


    Usually, Jia Hao changes in his room and walks out in his normal clothes. But since he slept outside, he forgot about that.


    " Holy shit, Are you cosying in the early morning or something?" Su Xing''er instantly pulled out her phone and clicked some photos.


    " Wait, What are you doing?" Jia Hao chided.


    " Well, You do look handsome. And¡­Why not? Why not I post I post it on the inte for sweet little inte points?"


    " But really, What are you doing with it?"


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before finally biting the bullet. " I¡­I was trying this new cosy, ok?"


    " Now?" Su Xing''er was speechless.


    " Anyway, I am going to change." Jia Hao turned and walked to her room.


    " Wait, Elder Sister is still sleeping there."


    Jia Hao paused his steps for a moment before walking even faster.


    " That''s even better."


    Su Xing''er was speechless as she chased after him.


    " Your pervert."

 Chapter 200: Pot of Miracles Extraction

    Jia Hao and Su Xing''er sat in his Imperial as Jia Hao drove off.


    " Tch, You are surely enamored by Elder Sister, huh?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but jest.


    " Why would I not?" Jia Hao grinned. " She is like a goddess at my disposal. It''s hard to not be drunk with her."


    " Oh? What a nasty ass poetic line." Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " What about me, Pervy?"


    " Well, You are clearly different than Big Sis Lan." Jia Hao spoke with a probing voice. " You are like a breath of freshness, like a mint mixed with lime and chili. There is no way I would you go too."


    " And Lin Mei?"


    " She¡­Wait, Why are you asking about her, hm?" Jia Hao nced at Su Xing''er.


    " Go ahead, I would I to see you list off all the women you are seeing off."


    " Oh, I don''t think you have the patience to hear all that. It will take an entire night."


    " Yo-You! You perverted bastard!"


    When Jia Hao reached his bedroom, Su Lan was putting on her underwear. She was also surprised to see Jia Hao in an ancient robe.


    But, There was no way Jia Hao would restrain himself. Su Lan and Jia Hao had a romantic morning kissing session, making Su Xing''er all jealous.


    And thanks to that, Jia Hao had to take her with him in his car today. After all, ording to the rules, he can''t pamper only on the sisters.


    Su Xing''er was obviously loving traveling with Jia Hao. And Jia Hao took a longer route than usual.


    " Tsk, Look at everyone, ogling at your car like that."


    " Well, It''s a beauty, isn''t it?" Jia Hao grinned. " It''s obvious to get attention like this."


    " Hmm, I wonder¡­"


    Su Xing''er couldn''t help a bit of jealousy. It''s not like she can''t purchase a car. However, Su Yunqi was rather strict in her parenthood.


    To not let the Su sisters be some entitled rich brats, she didn''t give them too much luxury.


    Jia Hao seemed to sense her thoughts as he couldn''t help but smile. " Don''t worry about that, Xing''er. I will give you a nice surprise soon."


    " Oh? And what is it?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but be interested.


    " What? Didn''t you hear? It''s a secret." Jia Hao chuckled. " Why would I tell you?"


    " Hmph, Then don''t disappoint me." Su Xing''er bared her teeth to Jia Hao.


    As they arrived at the school, another boring day at the academy began.


    Rather than focusing on school textbook, Jia Hao was using the time to read more advanced books regarding physics and engineering.


    And thanks to his Sage''s Divine Eyes, hisprehension was pretty high.


    " Wow, I never thought you would be such a nerd." Lin Mei popped a bubblegum as she stared at Jia Hao.


    " How could you read all that without sleeping? Just looking at the thickness of these books makes me feel dizzy."


    " Well, Dear, if I can''t endure the thickness of these books, how am I going to endure the thickness of yours?"


    Lin Mei''s face turned red as she looked away. " Cheeky bastard, We are in ss."


    " Oh, So now you care, huh?"


    " Boss, You gottae in game." Cheng Guo whimpered. " I can''t reach the diamond league!"


    " And this motherfucker has killed me 8 times!"


    " Wow." Jia Hao was surprised. " That sounds like..skill issues?"


    " Ahh, Boss Jia, don''t tease me like that."


    " Fine, give me your phone."


    Lin Mei rested her chin on her fist as she looked at Jia Hao ying game on Cheng Guo''s phone.


    " Actually, What did you talk with my dad that day?" Lin Mei asked curiously.


    " Huh? Why do you ask?" Jia Hao''s gaze was focused on the phone as his fingers moved.


    " Just curious. Dad has been quite happy since that day. He was busy with calls."


    " Well, Just some business stuff. We made a deal with a new product."


    " Boss! There is that bastard! Be careful, He got omnivamp!"


    " Hah, We shall see that."


    Jia Hao''s character carried a hammer as it sprinted around the bush. Suddenly, he used the instant sh, avoiding the flying dagger of the opponent.


    " Fuck! That bastard is really cunning." Cheng Guo raged.


    " Calm down and see¡­"


    Running around, the opponent finally caught Jia Hao''s character as the barrage of attacks started. Jia Hao''s health decreased rapidly as he also attacked.


    As Jia Hao''s health reached 10%, he attacked the opponent with a stun skill. However, instead of attacking him further, he backed away.


    " The opponent paused for a second before chasing Jia Hao. Jia Hao chuckled as he started counting.


    " 5¡­4¡­3¡­2¡­1¡­Omnivamp is in cooldown!"


    Jia Hao activated the absolute defense as he charged forward. With a control skill, he pulled the opponent inside the sentry tower radius and killed him.


    [Enemy Hero Has Been in!]


    " WOOOOO!!!"


    Cheng Guo gave a pog expression as he saw Jia Hao killing off the opponent. Not only that. Using the killing bonus, Jia Hao killed another opponent.


    [ Double Kill!]


    But at that moment, a shadow appeared behind them as the phone was suddenly taken away.


    " Motherf-"


    Jia Hao and Cheng Guo raised their head as they saw it was none other than Qin Bingyu.


    " Te-Teacher Qin¡­Uhm¡­"


    " What? Enjoying too much?" Qin Bingyu''s face was smiling as she looked at them.


    " How about solving the questions on the board instead of making noise in my ss?"


    " Teacher, It was a ranked match¡­" Cheng Guo mumbled. However, Jia Hao only chuckled.


    " Teacher, We won''t make any noise. Can you give back the phone, please?"


    " Should I?" Qin Bingyu looked at Jia Hao. But seeing Jia Hao simply gazing at her calmly, she sighed.


    " Take this. But cancel the game right away." Qin Bingyu threw the phone at Jia Hao.


    " Hehe, Thank you, Teacher." Jia Hao grinned as he started ying again.


    The ss was stunned as everyone saw how Qin Bingyu let Jia Hao go like that.


    " Damn, Is that the effect of being the top student?"


    " I don''t even know why he is studying in this section."


    " Tch, This is unfair. Even the Cold Beauty Teacher got trapped by that handsome fucker."


    Qing Bingyu''s face twitched as she heard the whispers.


    " Well, I can see everyone is pretty excited today, Huh? How about we do a nice little¡­surprise test?"


    " Wh-What?"


    " No, Teacher Qin, You can''t do that!"


    Qin Bingyu shrugged. " I mean, Someone said I am not being cold enough so¡­Here we go."


    Everyone turned around and gave a death re at the student who spoke that.


    " Fuck! This is unfair! Jia Hao yed a game and he got off hooked!"


    " Yeah, but now we go screwed!"


    Jia Hao shrugged as he handed the phone to Cheng Guo. " Well, We won. Happy now."


    " Boss Jia, You are really cool!" Cheng Guo sighed. " If I was a woman, I would have thrown myself on you, Boss."


    " Not like I can''t throw myself on you right now."


    Jia Hao''s lips twitched when he heard that. Lin Mei giggled as he looked at Cheng Guo.


    " Fatty Cheng, You know what? I think I should invite you to my girl''s group."


    " Huh? Why is that, Sister Lin?" Cheng Guo''s voice filled with suspicion as he asked. After all, knowing Lin Mei''s bitchiness, Cheng Guo would never believe she would give him an olive branch.


    " Of course, I think girls would feel safe around you." Lin Mei feigned innocence.


    " Because you are pretty much gay."


    " ¡­Fuck."


    Cheng Guo sighed. " I mean, I expected bad but¡­Damn."


    " Hahaha!"


    As their banter continued, Jia Hao leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.


    As he visualized the Pot of Miracles, he saw various new things inside.


    [ Extract of Bright Snow Lotus(Twelve Petals): This extract contains the purest property of Bright Snow Lotus. It has anti aging and anti venom properties. And due to its pure extract, its effect would increase tremendously]


    [ [ Extract of Bright Snow Lotus (Six Petal): This extract contains the purest property of Bright Snow Lotus. It has anti venom properties and body rejuvenation properties. And due to its pure extract, its effect would increase tremendously]


    [ Extract of Water Crystal Orbs: Purest form of water energy. All the impurities have been extracted]


    [ Water Ores: Extracted ore filled with water energy. Any equipment crafted with it would radiate the energy of water to its surroundings]


    [ Extract of Iron Back Crocodile Meat: You have gained pure meat of crocodile, blood, bones, skin and scales]


    '' Wow? That''s surprising?'' Jia Hao was surprised when he saw that.


    He had theplete corpse of the Iron Back Crocodile. However, now, everything has been separated, like loot dropping from a monster.


    '' So in the future, I can bring somerge demonic beast back and I will gain everything separated?''


    Jia Hao wondered what would be the impact of bringing such things to the Azure Sea World. After all, the Iron Back Crocodile''s entire body is filled with the pure energy of the world.


    And inside the Pot of Miracle, the meat and blood won''t spoil at all.


    '' I need to check its effect soon. Maybe, It will bring some unexpected surprise?'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    After all, who knows? Maybe it will create an uproar in this world?

 Chapter 201: Lianshan Corporation

    As the school was over, Jia Hao didn''t pick up anyone. He drove his Imperial straight to a cafe. Not long after he reached there, he saw a familiar figure inside.


    " Oh my, We are meeting here so many times. People might think of us as a couple." Jia Hao jested as he saw Feng Yunshi.


    Feng Yunshi ced her cup on the te as she looked at Jia Hao. " Well? I think you would be rather happy to be called a boyfriend of mine."


    Hearing Feng Yunshi''s jest, Jia Haoughed. " Why wouldn''t I? I mean, Sister Feng is quite a beauty."


    " Tsk, Smooth tongue as usual." Feng Yunshiughed. " Anyway, Why did you call me his time? What sort of interesting thing am I going to see this time?"


    " Well, Sister Feng, I believe you would be pretty interested in this."


    Jia Hao smiled as he took out two bottles. cing them before Feng Yunshi, he spoke in a light voice.


    " There are two herbal extracts in these two bottles. One is a thousand year old rare ginseng. Just a drop of it in a cup of water and your entire body would be energized."


    " As for the second bottle, It contains a herb called Bright Snow Lotus. Its extract can be used to prepare anti aging creams. It also has other medicinal properties and can easily heal any sort of venom or other aliment."


    Feng Yunshi was shocked when she heard about that. " Wh-What? Brother Jia, Are you joking?"


    " Do you think I am?"


    " Haah, This is¡­so weird."


    Jia Hao saw the expression of Feng Yunshia when he opened the bottle of ginseng. He ordered an icette and put a drop in it.


    " Here, Try this."


    Feng Yunshi nodded as she took a sip. The spice and bitterness of the ginseng assaulted her tastebud all at once. Feng Yunshi took a few sips as she nodded.


    " I have drank ginseng juice before. The taste is definitely of a superior ginseng."


    But after that, Feng Yunshi felt a light burn on her cheeks as she took a few deep breaths.


    " Interesting, To think you were telling the truth. Although ginseng is a good medicinal herb, its effect isn''t as exaggerated as those novels."


    " But then, we were only talking about the normal ones. There are various others and rare varieties of ginsengs, kept hidden by many powerful families."


    " But¡­It''s the first time since I have tasted something like this. It''s truly¡­Miraculous as you spoke."


    " Well, Told ya." Jia Hao shrugged. " I never lie, do I?"


    " So, What''s your n?" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao and asked.


    " I want you to prepare medicine with it." Jia Hao replied. " There are many things you can make from it. For example, revitalization medicines, supplements."


    " And this Bright Snow Lotus, you can sell its concoction as skin repairing oil. You only need to dilute it and give minimal effect, yet people would still buy it."


    " I thought you going to say, '' I am going to bring revolution in the medicinal field?''" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao with a smirk.


    " Why should I?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Sister Feng, don''t you know? The treatment of cancer is more profitable than the cure?"


    " Whoa! Let''s not be too capitalistic, shall I?"


    Jia Hao chuckled at Feng Yunshi''s reaction. " Haha, Sister Feng, You are really funny. But, I am being serious."


    " Besides, I am not selling fake products with cebo effects. I am selling you real stuff. Even withplete dilution, our product would have a better effect than other products in the market."


    " Hmm, But what about the profit?" Feng Yunshi asked. " Hmm, I mean, if we can sell more, it will definitely be very profitable. After all, the cosmetic and health market is prettyrge."


    " Of course, we would divide the product into two types." Jia Hao replied. " First would be given to the general public. It would be mass produced."


    " The effect of the mass produced medicine would be minimal. But it would be there, enough for the public."


    " Meanwhile, The second category of the product would be sold to the rich clients. No advertisement, no endorsement, only private transaction."


    " No public would know about this. Only the big guys would buy our best of things. Of course, they are going to pay more."


    Feng Yunshi kept sipping thette as she heard Jia Hao''s business n.


    " Haah, You are really a greedy bastard, aren''t you?"


    " Well, Without greed, can I move forward?" Jia Haoughed.


    " I understand what you mean. However, we need to conduct some research first. Only after confirming its effect, would we move forward."


    " Well, I am thinking of buying aboratory." Jia Hao spoke. " What do you think?"


    " I believe you are right. If you want to make money, You better own a firm of your own." Feng Yunshi nodded.


    " Anyway, From firm, I remembered something." Fneg Yunshi looked at Jia Hao as she took out a stack of papers.


    " Here you go, yourpany papers."


    " Now, You are officially the chairman of apany, Mr. Jia Hao."


    Jia Haoughed at Feng Yunshi''s words as he looked at the papers. He could see the big words reading, ''Lianshan Corporation''


    " But Lianshan? What did you mean by Mountain Lotus Corporation?" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao.


    " Sister Feng, Where does lotus bloom?"


    " In swamp orke?" Feng Yunshi answered quickly.


    " What''s the opposite of swamp? Where lotus can''t possibly bloom?"


    " Hmm, You mean the eight trigrams? The opposite of theke is the mountain." Feng Yunshi pondered. " Yes, A lotus can only bloom in the water body. How can it grow on rock?"


    " Precisely." Jia Hao chuckled. " Precisely a lotus can''t grow on a mountain, I named mypany Lianshan. Because I will make a product which looks impossible to exist."


    Feng Yunshi couldn''t help but see the bright confidence in Jia Hao''s eyes. With a light smile, Feng Yunshi shook her head. " Interesting, I never thought it would have such a deep meaning."


    " Then, I hope yourpany seeds."


    " It will be, Sister Feng." Jia Hao chuckled. " Also, I am thinking of giving 10% of mypany shares to you."


    " What? Really?" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao with surprise.


    " Of course. Think of this as a token of appreciation." Jia Hao smiled. " I mean, I can give you more if you agree to be my secretary."


    " Tsk, Very ambitious, are you?" Feng Yunshi smiled. " Well then, I shall be waiting for you to grow. If I see the potential, I will definitely join."


    " Alright, I have to go now. I am gettingte to a meeting."


    " Hehe, See ya, Sister Feng."


    Jia Hao got up as he also left after finishing his drink. But, as he was driving his car, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure on the road.


    Suddenly, turning his car, he stopped by the girl.


    " Shopping for groceries? Shall I drop you off?"


    " Ahh! It''s you!"


    Han Yun jumped in surprise as she turned and saw Jia Hao in his Imperial. Looking at the slick car and the handsome guy inside, many passersby stopped to steal a curious nce.


    " I mean¡­I am fine." Han Yun hurriedly spoke. " It''s near anyway."


    " Come on, Hop in." Jia Hao smiled. " I mean, I owe you a sweet date, Han Yun."


    " I¡­ Ugh! Since you say¡­"


    Han Yun''s heart thumped as she got into Jia Hao''s car. Feeling the luxurious interior by her hands, Han Yun couldn''t help but feel thrilled.


    After all, she only saw such cars on the inte and always wondered how such expensive things could exist.


    But now, she is sitting inside one, making her emotional.


    As the car engine roared, Jia Hao drove off at speed.


    " Uhm, My house in that way?"


    " Who said we are going to your house?" Jia Hao chuckled as he drove.


    " Didn''t I say, We are going on a small date?"


    Han Yun''s heart thumped as she saw Jia Hao driving straight to a shopping mall. Holding her hands, Jia Hao took Han Yun with him and entered the mall.


    " Wa-Wait, Why are we going there?" Han Yun looked at Jia Hao as they walked to a luxury clothing hall.


    " It''s super expensive. Besides, there aren''t many good clothes there." Han Yun muttered.


    " Don''t worry, Han Yun." Jia Hao grinned. " You can pick anything in this mall. As long as you want, just pick it."


    " Wait, Really?" Han Yun looked at Jia Hao with a shocked gaze. But looking away, she could see the shining purses, clothes of luxury brands, and other things.


    " What is it? Can''t decide? Why decide when you can get it all?"


    Han Yun''s breathing became faster as she felt Jia Hao hugging her from behind. His breath warmed his nape, making her shudder.


    " Jia Hao, What are you doing?"


    " Just a little romance?" Jia Hao chuckled as he let her go. Casually, he picked a few dress and asked Han Yun to try them.


    Han Yun could only nod as she walked into the dressing room. However, when she saw herself in that gorgeous attire, Han Yun felt like she couldn''t avert her gaze.


    Standing outside, Jia Hao inhaled a rich desire qi, the emotion of greed and vanity.

 Chapter 202: Kiss of Punishment (Mild R-18)

    '' Why? Why am I doing this?''


    '' Hnngh, This¡­This isn''t supposed to happen. I am¡­I am not that type of girl.''


    '' But¡­But can I tell him no? Can I stop his advances?''


    '' Fuck, He¡­He feels so good. My body¡­I have never felt this good before.''


    Han Yun''s breathings became harder as Jia Hao''s finger kept stroking inside her wet folds. It was as if his finger knows her inside very well, pressing the most blissful spots without any hesitation.


    Meanwhile, Han Yun''s hands moved as she stroked the erect staffof Jia Hao standing bare and proud. As her palm slowly stroked, han Yun could feel the pulsing vein and the moist tip of his spear.


    " You are¡­You are really a bastard." Han Yun spoke with a suppressed voice.


    " I might be." Jia Hao grinned. " But, I am also honest, yeah? Besides, You don''t hate this nature of mine."


    " HNnnghh!~"


    Han Yun pressed jolted back and Jia Hao''s thumb pressed on her pink pearl, making her legs tremble with bliss. His fingers curled upward, grazing the sweet spot intimately.


    If it was normal ce, Han Yun wouldn''t have so thrilled. But they were right in the middle of traffic, with other people surrounding them.


    Thankfully, Due to Jia Hao''s ck windshield, no one could see what''s happening inside the car. However, the thrill of jerking off each other in the middle of trafic made Han Yun''s heart beat faster and faster.


    " Han Yun, show some enthusiasm, ok?" Jia Hao grinned. " We gotta finish before the traffic clears, yeah?"


    " Hmmmph!~"


    Han Yun gave a pout as she moved her hand faster, while her other hand pressed her breasts.


    " Ohh¡­Fuck, Why this feels¡­So good¡­"


    Everything happened right after Han Yun looked at her reflection in the changing room''s mirror. Looking at herself, Han Yun decided to not look back ever again.


    Walking out of the changing room, she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Why are you doing this?"


    " Well, As our first date, I believe I should pay." Jia Hao smirked. " Not bad, You look gorgeous, Han Yun."


    " It''s absurd to spend so much on a¡­strange like me." Han Yun muttered as she looked at him.


    " You want me to be your ything?"


    " Oh? I wonder?" Jia Hao became amused as he looked at her. " What do you think? Are you willing?"


    " Why should I? You think I don''t have any dignity?" Han Yun looked at Jia Hao and spoke with a cold voice.


    " I never said that. On the contrary, you have a very good dignity." Jia Hao took her before a mirror and stood behind him.


    " It''s just that¡­Everything in this world has a price. So, What''s yours?"


    Han Yun felt Jia Hao''s hug as she clenched her fist. However,she didn''t resist him.


    " I¡­ I just want a stable job after I graduate from the academy, With a million yuan per year."


    " That''s it?" Jia Hao leaned towards her as he licked her earlobes. " Come on, Raise the price a bit more."


    " I¡­I don''t¡­I can''t¡­" Han Yun felt an intense flood of shame and embarrassment creeping on her as her voice became meek.


    How can shey off her price like that? It felt so slutty.


    " How about this? Keep me updated with all the gossip about the academy and other ces. And, I shall give you a monthly allowance of 100,000 Yuan?"


    " Wh-What?"


    Han Yun was shocked when she heard that. A hundred thousand yuan per month? That even surpasses most of the white cor jobs!


    " Yo-You are kidding, right?"


    " Why would I?" Jia Hao shrugged. " So, What do you say? Going me to make me your sugar daddy?"


    " Gosh, I hate that term¡­" Han Yun closed her eyes as she looked away.


    " How about we be¡­Contractual Couples?"


    " Ooh, Rather sophisticated, hm?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " Very well, Our contract starts right now."


    Han Yun felt a tinge of regret, but there was no turning back. Her strokes became faster and faster as she saw traffic slowly moving forward.


    " How about this, Han Yun? If you make mee faster before you, I will give you a nice gift." Jia Hao grinned.


    " However, If you lose¡­There would be a sweet apology."


    " Hmph, You think I can''t win?" Han Yun mumbled as her fingers unfurled, caressing and stroking Jia Hao''s staff with vigor.


    '' Hmph, I know men can''t stop themselves for long. Just a bit and they will lose themselves.''


    Han Yun heard some of his male ssmates talking about it. Despite edging, they just go for a five minutes quickie before finishing.


    However, that''s where Han Yun messed up. Even if she sped up her strokes and rubbed Jia Hao''s tip, she could only feel the sticky precum.


    Meanwhile,Jia Hao''s fingering was rather slow and teaseful, as if he knew what he was doing. He was rxed, letting Han Yun charge forward.


    However, as time passed, Han Yun''s grip softened as she became ecstatic to Jia Hao''s touch.


    " F-Fuck¡­This¡­feels¡­" Han Yun panted as she covered her eyes with her arm.


    " Why¡­Why aren''t you¡­Hnnngh!~"


    " Well, It looks like you lost, Miss Han Yun." Jia Hao grinned as her finger strokes became faster and faster. His thumb kept teasing her roused pearl, making her unable to do anything at all.


    The slowly oozing nectar made her hole slippery, making Jia Hao''s fingers work even faster.


    " Hnnngh! This¡­I can''t¡­Unngh!"


    " It''sing! Haahhh!~"


    With a jet of spring water, Jia Hao''s hand turned wet. Han Yun''s body spasmed as she kept squirting more and more. Only after a dozen of seconds, she finally calmed down.


    " Haah¡­hahhh¡­This is¡­Fuck!" Han Yun panted as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Inte¡­Inte lied¡­to me."


    " Well, Rather than that¡­I would say I am different." Jia Hao chuckled. " Come on now, A little apology to my little brother."


    " This¡­"


    Han Yun rolled her eyes as she looked at Jia Hao''s gesture. With a light snort, She lowered her head, her lip lips hovered right above the pink tip.


    " I¡­I am¡­Sorry."


    As she gave a light kiss on the tip, she felt it throb. Suddenly, a rope of white fluid shot out, coating her lips with white.


    Han Yun was surprised as she was taken aback. She felt Jia Hao''s shaft throb as it started to spill the sticky white fluid.


    Holding a tissue, she quickly wiped it off. However, the stickiness remained, making Han Yun clench her teeth.


    " Bastard! You tricked me!"


    " Did I?" Jia Hai shrugged. " Or maybe, My little brother felt your lips better than your hands?"


    " Yo-You!"


    Han Yun wiped off her lips as she looked away. However, a fainttrace still entered her mouth, making her taste Jia Hao''s potent essence.


    '' Damn it! This feels¡­Kinda weird. But, I mean¡­not that bad?''


    '' Damn it! Han Yun, What the hell are you thinking?''


    " Well, Stop thinking much." Jia Hao chortled as he looked outside. " We have arrived at your home."


    " Huh? Wait, So fast?"


    Han Yun peeked outside and saw it was indeed her apartmentplex.


    '' It was so fast? I didnt'' expect we would reach here so early?''


    Han Yun slowly got out as she held all the shopping bags.


    " What will I do if Mom asks me?" Han Yun looked at Jia Hao in a worried voice.


    " Don''t worry, Just tell her than a friend of yours gifted all these to you." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, I have a nice little gift for her too."


    " Huh? What do you mean?"


    " Don''t ask much. Just go back."


    Han Yun sighed as she saw Jia Hao rolling up the car window as he left.


    As Han Yun got to her home, she found her mom was in kitchen.


    " Yun''er, You took pretty long."


    " I just met a friend, Mom."


    " Huh? What are all these?"


    Han Yun''s mom looked at the stash Han Yun was holding, making her gasp.


    "These¡­Who gave you these things?" She frowned.


    Although she isn''t young anymore, she know quite some fashion brands. Therefore, she could see the high end fashionables in Han Yun''s hand.


    " Han Yun, these are so¡­expensive. Who spent so much on you?''


    " Didn''t I say?" Han Yun spoke in a nervous voice. " Just a friend. And¡­This one is for you."


    " Huh? For me?"


    Han Yun''s mother was still skeptical as she took the box from Han Yun''s hand. When she opened it, a silver wristwatch shone from it.


    " Oh my¡­This¡­This is for me?"


    Suddenly, Han Yun''s mother felt a surge of joy and greed as she held the box. Quickly taking out the wristwatch, she wore it on her wrist.


    " This¡­This looks so lovely. To think I would get such a gift."


    Han Yun''s eyes widened as her motherughed like a little girl.


    " Is it a boy, Yun''er? Looks like a pretty nice guy. I would like to meet him though."


    " Uh¡­Nice, you say?" Han Yun was at a loss when she heard that.


    '' Wh-What''s with mom? She didn''t ask anything else? Or¡­She really liked it that much?''


    Of course, even Han Yun felt a slight greed towards the watch. But it was obvious that she couldn''t see the gentle desire qi of greed and joy enveloping the wristwatch.


    " Ahem, How about making some beef soup tonight? You like it, right?"


    " Oh? OHH!? Sure Mom!" Han Yun''s eyes brightened.


    " But first, go and wash yourself." Han Yun''s mom frowned.


    " Strange, where is this fishy smelling from? No, It''s not fishy¡­I know this scent¡­"


    Han Yun''s hair stood on its end as she hurried to her room.


    " Ahaha, Mom, I will wash right away."


    Han Yun''s mom turned to the kitchen. But involuntarily, she licked her lips.


    '' Why do I feel¡­nostalgia from this smell?''

 Chapter 203: Menace

    '' Hmm, Energy bars, Choctes, Energy drinks, What should I get more?''


    Jia Hao walked around the shopping mall as he bought everything in bulk. The people around him looked at him with shock as he emptied the shelves.


    " Mom, I want to buy that chocte bar."


    " Ok ok, I will but only one, ok?" Her mom sighed as she nodded. As they stood before Jia Hao, Jia Hao smiled at her.


    " Your son?"


    " Yeah, He is¡­he gets a little mischievous sometimes." The woman smiled.


    But the woman and the boy''s expressions froze as Jia Hao swept the entire shelf and took all the choctes. Smiling at them, Jia Hao walked out.


    " M-Mom?"


    The boy looked at the empty shelf dumbfounded. " Chocte, Where are they?"


    " That person just took away everything?" The woman looked back at Jia Hao.


    " WAHHHH! WHY CAN HE TAKE ALL OF THEM BUT I CAN''T?"


    The woman was trying to console the kid. But as the kid cried more, he finally received a knock on his head.


    " If you don''t stop crying, I am going to put back the cookie box."


    " N-Noooo!"


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao gave a devilishugh as he reached the corner.


    '' Oh man, That was hrious. Taking all the chocte right before a kid''s eyes.''


    Jia Hao sighed with a smile as he looked around the mall. Suddenly, his eyes caught on a small machine.


    " Huh? Icemaker?"


    Jia Hao picked up the box and flipped around. It''s a small icemaker as it use the battery to cool the things inside. It was pretty small and easy to port.


    " Young man, Don''t buy that thing."


    Jia Hao turned around and saw a middle ageddy. She looked at the box and rolled his eyes.


    " I bought it a month ago. It doesn''t work properly at all. Other than being portable."


    " But it worked initially, I guess?" Jia Hao asked/


    " It did, but it didn''tst for long before it malfunctioned." Thedy sighed. Jia Hao nodded when he heard that.


    " Well, I am just taking it for fancy purposes. It won''t harm to try it, yeah?"


    " As you wish. I just told you my opinion."


    " Thank you, Miss. You are really kind."


    The middle ageddy smiled when Jia Hao praised her. " Aw, You are a sweet young man."


    As she left, Jia Hao looked at the box and decided to purchase it. However, he didn''t purchase the boxes just for show.


    Thinking about something, Jia Hao''s eyes gleamed. '' If that could work, It would be pretty amazing.''


    Purchasing everything, Jia Hao stacked everything on the counter, making the cashier stun.


    " Uh, Sir, Are you going to purchase all these?"


    " Why? Any problem?"


    " Uh, Nothing really."


    Jia Hao saw the worker wasn''t paid enough to care for that shit. He just got up and started to scan the bar code.


    Paying everything, he passed a 100 Yuan bill to the worker, making him stunned.


    " Th-This¡­"


    " Take this as a tip."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he lifted everything and walked away. Looking around, he swiftly put everything inside his Pot of Miracle.


    However, suddenly looking around, he found the kid with her mother. He was sulking because he didn''t got his chocte.


    '' Alright, Let''s do this¡­''


    With a smile, he walked towards the kid. The kid suddenly saw and his sulking increased.


    It was because Jia Hao crossed him while eating the chocte. The boy saw his favorite chocte being eaten by Jia Hao, increasing his grief.


    " WAHHHHH!"


    His mother was helpless, But Jia Hao stepped in. " Well, Kiddo, Take this."


    " Huh? We-We don''t need this¡­" Her mother hesitated when she saw Jia Hao passing a chocte to the kid.


    " No worries. I took everything off the shelf, but I can''t see him crying." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Not to mention, I can''t see a beauty like you being so distressed."


    " Oh please, You are ttering me." The woman blushed as she took the chocte.


    " Go and say thank you to this big brother."


    " Why should I?"


    The kid squinted his eyes as he looked at Jia Hao. " That person is a bad guy."


    " Ah Jing! How dare you to be disrespectful¡­"


    " Haha, Children are really funny and¡­Perspective." Jia Haoughed as he turned around to leave,


    " Very well, I shall take my leave."


    " Ahh! Alright, Be safe!"


    The woman rubbed her face and felt a trace of warmth. '' Wow, That young man was so handsome. Is he some movie star?''


    '' Not to mention¡­He said I am a beauty. Oh my, Such a lovely person.''


    " Mom? Are you¡­Ok?"


    " Of course, I am." The woman smiled. " Let''s go to McConard before going home, ok?"


    " That''s good!"


    However, that kid didn''t feel much happy at all. It was like Jia Hao gave him some carrots after tight beating.


    Jia Hao saw his expression from afar as heughed.


    " Tsk, Really a brat. He realized I was hitting on his mother with that chocte."


    " Well, Just be d I just took your chocte, not your mom."


    Getting into his car, Jia Hao couldn''t help but shake his head. He suddenly thought about why he had be such a menace today. But then, he realized by being yful, he could easily keep the overflowing desire qi inside him in check.


    After all, one can indulge in little yfulness and pranks to remain uplifted, right?


    As he returned home, Jia Hao saw Su Yunqi sitting on the sofa in casual attire.


    " Hao''er, You are back."


    " Good evening, Aunt Su." Jia Hao smiled as he sat right beside him. " How was your day?"


    " Ohh, Just don''t ask. So much work." Su Yunqi sighed as she leaned back. " However, I am d that everything is over now. Now, I can rx and bit and let others do the work"


    " What about you, Hao''er?"


    " Eh, Just simple." Jia Hao shrugged." Going to the academy feels boring now. They are teaching everything I know."


    " Aww, I know. My Hao''er is a genius." Su Yunqi ruffled his hair with her fingers.


    " But, Just maintain a bare minimum attendance, ok?"


    " Ehh?" Jia Hao suddenly leaned and hugged Su Yunqi. " Can''t I act like a rich and spoilt brat?"


    " Oho, You want?"


    Su Yunqi blushed when Jia Hao hugged her like that. However, She also felt a sense of rxation in Jia Hao''s embrace.


    " But Hao''er, Can you act like one? I doubt so." Su Yunqi sighed. " I know you are not a person like that."


    " Not to mention, What''s so good to act like that? Wealth is merely¡­"


    Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi with a mischievous smile. " Please, Aunt Su, We are at home, not at some podcast."


    " Ok ok, I admit having money feels good." Su Yunqi chuckled. " But still, It won''t harm to being a decent human being, right?"


    " Tsk, Aunt Su, You are too good." Jia Hao sighed as he let him go.


    " Whoa, Having some moment, eh?" Su Lan walked from behind as he looked at Su Yunqi and Jia Hao.


    " Why, of course?" Su Yunqi smiled. " Just waiting for Hao''er and he finally came back."


    " What about you, Sister Lan? Not feeling sore anymore?"


    Su Lan blushed when she heard the question. " Totally not, Hao''er. Thanks for asking."


    She clearly understood what kind of soreness Jia Hao was talking about. Looking at the smirk on his face, Su Lan couldn''t help but give a yful re to him.


    " Ah, I remember." Su Lan suddenly spoke. " I have a small party to attend tonight."


    " Eh, Is that so?"


    Jia Hao''s gaze squinted when he heard that." How about this, Aunt Su? Can Ie?"


    " Oh, Being protective again?" Su Yunqi chuckled when she saw the face of Jia Hao.


    " Why not?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " I can''t make you fall in danger, can I?"


    " Besides, You need a bodyguard and attendant anyway."


    Su Lan chuckled. " Tsk tsk, Look at you, Vying for Mom''s attention."


    " Oh please, Sister Lan. Aunt Su''s attention is always on me." Jia Hao smirked as he looked at her.


    " I love Aunt Su so much after all."


    This time, It was Su Yunqi''s turn to blush intensely. She could feel the ''love'' spoken by Jia Hao wasn''t as innocent as anyone would think.


    Getting teased by her step son before her daughter like that, Su Yunqi felt pretty embarrassed. However, she couldn''t help but feel a forbidden thrill in it.


    " Ahem, Fine. You helped me a lot in the past. So, You cane with me." Su Yunqi coughed lightly.


    " But, You won''t be mischievous, ok?"


    " Aunt Su, I can''t promise that." Jia Hao chuckled as he shook his head.


    " After all, I am a person who pounces on the opportunity the moment I see them."


    Su Yunqi sighed when she heard that. Maybe, the night wasn''t going to be as boring as she thought.


    Getting up, Jia Hao walked to his room. However, His expression turned weird as he thought about it.


    '' Aunt Su is a bad viin ma. Even if she goes to a perfectly fine ce, she might encounter danger.''


    '' Besides, I have my Recent Future Point. With this, I can be prepared for anything.''


    Jia Hao looked at the mirror and started to get ready for the party.


    After all, he could smell trouble from far away.

 Chapter 204: Aunty, You Look So Old

    Jia Hao got dressed as he looked at himself in the mirror. '' Wow, That''s what a male god should look like.''


    Wearing a suit and an expensive watch, Jia Hao got perfectly ready. However, his gaze suddenly fell into his Pot of Miracles as he found an interesting thing.


    [ Extract of Wolf''s Musk: A flower native to the inner forest of Nanhai Mountain. A light yet dominant smell which can certainly make a woman''s head turn towards you. However, extracting the essence from Wolf''s Musk takes years]


    Jia Hao randomly picked various herbs as he was traveling in the Nanhai Mountain with Sang Qiuliu and the Crown Prince. However, he never expected for such an effect.


    Taking out a scoop with his will, Jia Hao mixed it in in water and sprayed on him body.


    " Whoa? The smell is¡­pretty nice."


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he nodded with approval. " Damn it, I am going to use it from now on. This is some good shit.''


    As he walked out, He saw Su Lan walking on the courier, holding a cup of pudding. Suddenly, she paused her steps as her nose twitched.


    " You used some cologne? That smells¡­"


    " What? How does it smell?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    Su Lan suddenly walked towards her as she took a deep breath. " Mhm, Smells pretty great-"


    But before she could finish her sentence, Jia Hao leaned forward and kissed Su Lan.


    Su Lan was surprised as she never thought Jia Hao would suddenly show such affection. However, she didn''t resist as she also replied with her enthusiasm.


    Their tongue rolled against each other as Su Lan felt drifting in Jia Hao''s passion.


    '' Ungh, The smell of the cologne and Jia Hao''s passion¡­They are matching so perfectly.''


    " You guys!!"


    Suddenly, Su Lan and Jia Hao broke their kiss as they saw it was Su Xing''er. She looked around and charged towards Jia Hao.


    " Damn it, Can''t you keep your lovey dovey action inside the bedroom? What if Mom sees us?"


    " Why? What are you worried about more, Xing''er?"


    " Ahh!"


    Su Xing''er yelped as she felt Jia Hao moving like a ghost and hugging her from behind.


    " Are you afraid Aunt Su catching us? Or¡­Are you jealous of us making out?"


    " Yo-You! Why would I be?"


    Su Xing''er pouted as she looked away. However, her body trembled as she felt Jia Hao''s lips roaming on her nape.


    " Oh, Don''t worry, Xing''er. I will give equal attention to all my lovers."


    " Hngh!~ Yo-You! Stop¡­teasing¡­me¡­Nhgh!~"


    Su Lan chuckled when she saw how fast Su Xing''er''s bravado turned into whimpers.


    " Hao''er, You really know how to turn on women, huh? Even I can''t tame Xing''er like that."


    " Gosh! Elder Sister!" Su Xing''er chided. " Why are you taking his side? You should be helping me ahhhh!"


    With augh, Jia Hao let go of Su Xing''er. " Aw, Someone getting nervous? Don''t worry, Xing''er. I am not going to eat you."


    " Yo-You!"


    Su Xing''er turned around and punched at Jia Hao. However, with a smirk, Jia Hao easily doged her.


    " Pesky bastard!"


    Rubbing her flushed face, Su Xing''er snorted at Jia Hao. " Tease me again, and I will bite off your dick."


    " Oooh! Scary!" Jia Hao feigned horror as he looked at he looked at Su Lan. " Sister Lan, What would I do if Xing''er does that? I don''t want to make you a widow¡­"


    " Ok ok, Stop teasing each other." Su Lan sighed. " Hao''er, Go down already. Mom is waiting for you."


    " Right away, Miss."


    Giving flying kisses to both of them, Jia Hao walked to downstairs. Su Xing''er sighed as she rolled her eyes.


    " Cheeky bastard. But¡­ He smells nice though."


    " I know right?" Su Lan rubbed her chin. " The smell was rather¡­arousing."


    " Uh huh, Elder Sister knows well."


    " Wait! Why are you eating my pudding?"


    " Whaaat?" Su Xing''er hurriedly scooped out a big portion and rubbed her lips.


    " We are sharing a man, but can''t share a pudding?"


    " Xing''er you rascal!!"


    " Ahhh! Help! Big Sister is killing me!"


    Su Yunqi chuckled as she heard the sound from above. When Jia Hao came down, she couldn''t help but feel her eyes being drawn toward him.


    Tall, imposing, handsome, and elegant, Jia Hao fulfilled all the criteria of a top male.


    '' Haah, Why do I feel he is getting more and more handsome as days are passing?''


    " You look elegant, Lady Su. I am d I am apanying a beauty like you."


    " Ohh! Stop your ttery, You are making me blush, Hao''er."


    Su Yunqi blushed when she heard Jia Hao''s praise. Rather than calling her aunt, Jia Hao treats her like a proper singledy.


    " Why, You know you look beautiful, Lady Su." Jia Hao grinned as he held her hand.


    " How about we escort you to my car?"


    '' Huh? We aren''t taking our Benz?" Su Yunqi asked in curiosity. Jia Hao shook his head with amusement.


    " Nope, We are taking my Imperial. I mean, It wouldn''t be good if all the women go on long drives with me and not you."


    " Tsk, Such a sweet tongue you got." Su Yunqi scoffed lightly. " You must be pretty popr among women, huh?"


    " Lady Su is wise~"


    Su Yunqi sat inside Jia Hao''s car as Jia Hao got into the driver''s seat. Before going, he couldn''t help but take a nce at Su Yunqi.


    But looking at her Recent Future Point, Jia Hao''s lips curled up.


    " What is it, Hao''er? Is there something wrong with my dress?"


    " Ahh, Not really." Jia Hao chuckled. " I was just thinking if tonight''s party going to be just another boring corporate party or¡­ Something interesting will happen?"


    "Who knows?" Su Yunqi chuckled as she leaned back on the seatfortably.


    " Don''t you know? Never say never¡­"


    Stepping on the elerator, Jia Hao''s car rushed like a bolt of dark lightning in the evening.


    " Ha-Hao''er! You don''t need to drive so fast!"


    " Don''t worry, I have full control of the steering wheel."


    Jia Haoughed as he swung the wheel, changing the direction with a drift. Su Yunqi''s heartbeat sped up as she could feel Jia Hao driving very recklessly, but withplete precision.


    '' Gosh! When was thest time I got in a drive like this? I am feeling so¡­thrilled and refreshed.''


    Turning at Jia Hao, Su Yunqi couldn''t help but look at him with fondness.


    Soon enough, Jia Hao reached the party venue. His car was definitely an attraction even among the riches of Eastern Sea City.


    " Wow, Is that an Imperial?"


    " That logo, This must be a limited edition model!"


    " Goodness, Which rich second generation is it?"


    Jia Hao got out first, attracting even more attention. However, he walked to Su Yunqi''s side and opened the door for her like a gentleman.


    " Whoa? Who is that woman?"


    " She is looking so sexy¡­"


    " Isn''t she Su Yunqi, the Chairman of Blue Crystal Corporation?"


    " You mean THAT Su Yunqi?"


    " And who is that young man? He couldn''t be her boyfriend, could he?"


    " Who knows man? I gave up long ago."


    Su Yunqi felt a slight blush when she felt the obvious attention she got.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao crossed his arm with her. " Shall we go?"


    " Sure, My little gentleman." Su Yunqiughed lightly as she walked with him.


    " Mhm, Looks like we are going to be the center of attention tonight." Su Yunqi chuckled.


    " Shall I try hooking you up with someone''s daughter?"


    " As if, Aunt Su."


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " I am already dealing with a lot of women. So, I don''t need more burden."


    " But, You are different though." He grinned. " After all, Tonight is especially reversed for you. I can''t divert my attention to other women."


    " Gosh, What if someone hears us, Hao''er?" Su Yunqi looked around and pinched Jia Hao''s cheek.


    " Alright, Let''s go in."


    As she walked in, A middle aged man walked in and greeted Su Yunqi.


    " Wee, Miss Su. You have finally arrived." The middle aged man smiled. But then, his eyes fell on Jia Hao¡­


    " This young man¡­"


    " He is my nephew, Jia Hao. He is quite a promisingd." Su Yunqi smiled.


    " Jia Hao, He is¡­"


    " Mr. Ming Fu of Dongshan Mining. How could I not know him." Jia Hao raised his hands for a handshake.


    " Hoho, I didn''t know even the younger generation knows me." Ming Fuughed lightly, shaking Jia Hao''s hand.


    " Please, Come with me. I hope you all enjoy the party."


    Walking in, Jia Hao and Su Yunqi are confronted by a group of luxury clothing women.


    Although all of them looked pretty, Jia Hao could see the wall of make up on their skins, unlike Su Yunqi who was a natural beauty."


    " Ohoho, Look who it is¡­It''s been a while since I met you, Su Yunqi."


    " Ah, Miss Ping, We met¡­"


    " Uhm, Not really. I have changed my name to Wu Mengji."


    " Oh, Ok¡­" Su Yunqi felt awkward as she forced a smile.


    " Anyway, Who is this handsome?"


    " I am Jia Hao, Aunty Ping. Big SisterYunqi''s nephew." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Wow, I remember you when you used toe to Big Sister Su''s house. You used to look so young back then."


    " Haah, Time flies¡­ Who can stop aging?"


    Wu Mengji''s face twitched when she heard Jia Hao''s words. Su Yunqi also almost spat out her drink when she heard that."

 Chapter 205: Unfolding Drama

    Everyone was stunned when they heard Jia Hao. Jia Hao stood there with a smiling face, as if he was praising Wu Mengji.


    " Uh¡­Huhuhu¡­You are quite a¡­Naughty child." Wu Mengji couldn''t understand Jia Hao''s taunt for a moment before realizing it. Her breathing became harder, but she didn''t lost herposure.


    " Ahem, Hao''er, Don''t say like that." Su Yunqi spoke in a slightly strict tone.


    " She is your elder after all."


    " Ah yes, Indeed. I should respect the elderly." Jia Hao replied coyly.


    Wu Mengji felt that Su Yunqi was going to berate Jia Hao.


    But hearing the second part of her sentence, She almost choked up.


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Ahem, Big Sister Su, Can we go there? I want to taste some pastries." Jia Hao chose to back away along with Su Yunqi. Su Yunqi also gave a light smirk.


    " Sure, Let''s go."


    Stomping her feet, Wu Mengji red at Su Yunqi and Jia Hao as they walked away.


    " Su Yunqi, You bitch¡­I shall see it!"


    Su Yunqi and Jia Hao walked in the distance as Su Yunqi burstughing.


    " Gosh, Hao''er¡­You are an absolute menace." She couldn''t help but rub her eyes as she wiped off tears.


    " Well, I knew her personality the moment I saw her." Jia Hao chuckled. " She always tries to pick on you, yes?"


    " Yeah, She used to be a senior of my school. But she is always jealous of me." Su Yunqi sighed.


    " Myte husband, my wealth, my position, she envies everything."


    " Envy is a human nature." Jia Hao replied. " However, hating and hurting someone due to envy isn''t forgivable."


    " My my, Someone is in deep philosophy, huh?" Su Yunqi chuckled as she pinched Jia Hao''s cheek.


    " And what''s with that Big Sister Su, Hm? You want to make me appear younger?"


    " You are young, Aunt Su." Jia Hao grinned. " You know me. Given the chance, I will¡­"


    " You will what?"


    Su Yunqi raised her brow and looked at Jia Hao. Jia Hao only smirked as he looked away.


    " Nothing, I shall not tell."


    Jia Hao passed a champagne ss to Su Yunqi, which she picked.


    " Tsk, being all mysterious, huh?"


    Su Yunqi and Jia Hao chatted. Suddenly, Su Yunqi turned around and walked to a few people. Jia Hao could see they were the investors of the Blue Crystal Company.


    '' Tsk tsk, Look at these old foggies. Oogling at her body as if they gonna jump at her.'' Jia Hao was amused when he looked at them.


    But he has to admit, Su Yunqi looked very beautiful and¡­seductive this evening. She wore a blue sleeveless gown with silver lining all over it.


    The medium deep V cut showed only a little bit of her cleavage, but the two slides of clothes pressed against her motherly breasts, outlining them perfectly.


    Not to mention, her bare leg all the way up to her thighs from the slit of her dress, and that golden high heel, everything made Su Yunqi look like a seductive and mature supermodel.


    As Jia Hao was drinking, he suddenly felt a familiar presence near him. Turning around, he saw it was old man Chen Mo, from Tianguang Hall.


    " Ohoho, Lad, I didn''t expect to see you here."


    " Greetings, Elder Chen." Jia Hao cupped his fist. " It''s truly been a while."


    " Indeed. I heard you sold that snow lion statue to Sun Shuang?" Chen Mo rubbed his chin. " Tsk, Two billion Yuan, huh?"


    " Elder Chen sure knows all the news." Jia Hao gave a mild smile. " But, I believe it was able to help Mr. Sun. So two billion yuan wasn''t an exorbitant price."


    " Haah, I believe so." Chen Mo sighed.


    " But what about now? You don''t have any new treasures?"


    " Oh, Is that what Elder Chen is interested in?" Jia Hao''s lips curled.


    " Why not? Even if I am old, I love to see new things." Chen Moughed.


    " Well, Not any new treasures, but¡­Our Blue Crystal Corporation mined some unique jades this time. Elder Chen, Do you want to see?"


    " Huh? You have brought them?" Chen Mo was surprised. " Of course, I will see it."


    Jia Haoughed as he showed his empty palms to Chen Mo. But suddenly, flipping it, a bright crystal green crystal and a gentle blue crystal appeared in each palm."


    " My goodness! What a trick."


    Chen Mo was amused when he saw Jia Hao''s trick. But his expression changed when he saw the green crystal.


    " This¡­Emerald sh Imperial Jade?" Chen Mo gasped as he looked at the crystal.


    " This¡­This is even more rare than ordinary Imperial Green Jades." Chen Mo spoke with a surprised expression.


    " And this cut¡­This is simply a perfect piece. Heavens! Where did you get this?"


    " Didn''t I tell you? It came from a mining site." Jia Haoughed lightly.


    " And this is a small piece. There are some other bigger pieces."


    " You are really a hell of a lucky brat, aren''t you?" Chen Mo sighed. " The shing Green Imperial Jade, it contains some natural power."


    " If crafted into ornaments with other spiritual materials, it might be a real magical trinket."


    " But, What''s this stone? Aquamarine?"


    The moment Chen Mo held the second crystal, he felt a strange coldness on his palm. It was as if he dipped his hand into a pool of fresh and cold water.


    " This is a rare mutation of Aquamarine. It was found inside a deep pool. If I have to appraise it, I shall say¡­It contains the attribute of water and yin." Jia Hao replied.


    " Just having it directly, one can absorb this energy. Else, you can also use it in fengshui to remove the deficiency of Water element."


    " This¡­ Is this true?" Chen Mo was stunned when he heard that. " But¡­I can feel it. Indeed, this crystal feels very different."


    Jia Hao smirked when he saw the expression of Chen Mo.


    ''Heh, This is the lowest quality of Water Crystal, yet you are so fascinated?''


    Chen Mo returned the crystals to Jia Hao with a sigh.


    " You really got some good stuff. Why don''t youe to my Tianguang Hall someday?"


    " Hoho, Is Elder Chen inviting me casually? Or¡­You want me to appraise something?"


    " Cheeky brat, Can''t I act like a good elder?" Chen Moughed at Jia Hao''s answer.


    Su Yunqi noticed Jia Hao and Chen Mo and hurriedly came to them."


    " Ah, Greetings, Elder Chen Mo. It''d be nice to meet you."


    " Ah, You must be CEO Su." Chen Mo smiled. " You are Little Hao''s Aunt, yes?"


    " Indeed."


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but be amazed when she saw how casually Chen Mo was talking with Jia Hao.


    '' Is he the same Chen Mo, who is revered as a solemn person in the antique market?'' She couldn''t help but think inwardly.


    " Jia Hao is truly a genius in appraisal. I truly wish to borrow him." Chen Mo smiled.


    " Don''t worry, Elder Chen. My services are always avable." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Hahaha, Good! I like it." Elder Chenughed lightly.


    " Everyone, May I have your attention, please?"


    The organizer of the event, Mr. Dong, spoke in the microphone.


    " Today, We are going to have a small charity auction. So, I hope everyone will participate in it."


    " So, Let''s begin! Our first item is an ancient painting!"


    " The bidding starts with 10,000 Yuan!"


    Soon enough, many people participated in it. After a few rounds, there came a diamond ne, which Su Yunqi bid for.


    " 400,000 Yuan!"


    " 500,000!"


    Wu Mengji suddenly spoke. Su Yunqi was mildly surprised as she increased the bid by 50,000.


    As the bidding war continued, Wu Mengji bought it for a million yuan.


    The auction had a small break afterwards, to create suspense for the final items.


    But suddenly, a waiter suddenly stumbled before Su Yunqi, spilling the wine on her clothes.


    " Ahhh!"


    " Damn it! Can''t you see?"


    Su Yunqi was at a loss as she could see her dress getting stained. Chen Mo red up, but Su Yunqi shook her head.


    " Are you ok?"


    " I¡­I am sorry, Miss. It was an¡­"


    " I know, It''s an ident." Su Yunqi smiled. " I am just asking if you were hurt. The ss shards, please be careful."


    Jia Hao sighed as he shook his head. Su Yunqi was truly a naturally kind beauty.


    " I am alright, Miss. Thank you for your concern." The waiter hurriedly nodded and walked away.


    Soon enough, a middle aged man and another person came hurriedly.


    " I am sorry, Miss Su. You had to suffer like that due to our staff."


    " It''s ok, Mr. Dong. idents happen." Su Yunqi shook her head. " Please just point me in the direction of the washroom."


    " I shall take you there." Jia Hao spoke as he held Su Yunqi and took her away.


    As Su Yunqi entered the women''s washroom, Jia Hao stood outside. Looking at the watch, his lips curled up.


    Not long after Su Yunqi went inside, a woman came out of the washroom. Jia Hao''s lips curled when he saw that.


    Not long after, Su Yunqi also came out.


    " You were waiting till now?"


    " Why not?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " Anyway, Aunt Su, Let me hold your purse."


    " Oh please." Su Yunqi smiled lightly. " You don''t need to act like my butler.


    " Why? You don''t want a young, handsome, and capable butler like me?" Jia Hao ced his palm on his chest and gave a light bow.


    " Haha, You really enjoy teasing me, hm?" Su Yunqi chuckled. " Fine, You can hold it."


    But as they returned to the hall, both of them heard somemotion.


    " What? Wu Mengji''s diamond ne got stolen?"


    " Who it could be?"

 Chapter 206: Su Yunqi is a Thief?

    Jia Hao quickly ordered a peach tinted gin as he looked at the drama slowly starting before him. Not long after, Mr. Dong arrived and inquired about the matter.


    " What happened? An item got stolen?"


    " Sir, Miss Wu already got her item after she paid the bill. However, Now, she couldn''t find her ne."


    " Damn it! How is this possible? How there could be a theft here?"


    Mr. Dong was stunned when she heard that. Wu Mengji cried as she rubbed her eyes.


    " That ne¡­It looked so good. Not to mention, it was a limited edition pink diamond ne."


    " I thought¡­.I thought it would be a good gift for my daughter. But¡­Some bastard stole it from me."


    " BOOHOOO! My precious ne. My husband¡­he won''t let it go¡­Boohooo!~*


    Su Yunqi was also stunned when she saw the situation. " I never thought someone could do that here. Aren''t they afraid if getting caught and beaten to death?"


    " Oh, It''s just starting, Aunt Su." Jia Hao chuckled as he took a chicken skewer and ate it with relish, with his drink.


    " And, It looks like someone is enjoying the situation." Su Yunqi rolled her eyes.


    " Why should I not, Aunt Su?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Not to mention, the chicken is so tender and juicy. The chef did the right job."


    " Call the security and check around!" Mr. Dong shouted at his secretary.


    " Yes, Mr. Dong." His secretary nodded as he hurriedly left.


    But not after long, a waitress came with the secretary. The secretary''s expression was odd as he came back with her.


    " What is it? Got any news?"


    " Mr. Dong, This waitress¡­She is saying that she has seen the culprit."


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    Mr. Dong looked at the waitress with shock. " Tell me, Who it was?!"


    " Mr¡­Mr. Dong, I¡­I only suspect that person was the culprit. I don''t have any solid proof." The waitress muttered as she looked at the ground.


    " That''s better than nothing. Just tell me what you saw." Wu Mengji stepped in as she asked desperately.


    " I¡­ I saw a woman, who looked like another waitress. But I have never seen her. As she was walking in the corridor, I saw something sparkling inside her pocket."


    " At first, I thought that might be some stuff. But after this incident, I feel¡­That was the ne. It looks so same¡­"


    " Can you tell me who is that bitch?" Wu Mengji snapped out. " You shouldhave remembered her face, right?"


    " I only saw her from behind¡­" The waitress spoke in a stammering voice. " But I know what she did!"


    " She entered the washroom and came out. But when she came out¡­I didn''t see that ne in her pocket."


    " What? Really?" The secretary was stunned. " Does that mean the woman hid the ne in the bathroom."


    " I¡­ I don''t know. After her, the only person who came out of the bathroom was¡­Miss Su."


    Everyone''s eyes fell on Su Yunqi when they heard the waitress. Su Yunqi was also surprised when she heard that. " I beg your pardon?"


    " My clothes got stained and I was wiping it off in the bathroom. There was ady in the bathroom¡­But I didn''t notice her face."


    Mr. Dong looked at the secretary and nodded. " Go and check the entirety of the washroom."


    " Yes, Mr. Dong."


    But they returned empty handed, making the situation even heavier.


    " What? You couldn''t find it?"


    " No, Mr. Dong. We checked every possible ce. But we couldn''t find it at all."


    " Damn it! Check all the CCTV cameras and find that thief!" Mr. Dong shouted.


    " Wait a second."


    Wu Mengji stepped ion as she raised her voice. Jia Hao chuckled as he finished his drink.


    " Rather than checking for the thief, can''t we check another person?"


    " What do you mean by that, Miss Wu?" Mr. Dong asked curiously.


    " Since that waitress said the thief entered the washroom and came out empty handed¡­And now there is no ne there¡­Doesn''t that mean someone else might have taken it?"


    Everyone murmured among themselves as they heard Wu Mengji''s reasoning. Mr. Dong''s expression changed when he understood Wu Mengji''s implication.


    " Miss Wu, What do you mean by that?"


    " I mean¡­Su Yunqi was there at that time, yes? Didn''t she saw anyone else?" Wu Mengji spoke in a light voice.


    " I didn''t see anyone else." Su Yunqi spoke in a slightly annoyed voice. " And, Wu Mengji, Why do I feel you are suspecting me?"


    " Well, You were the only person in the washroom at that time. So, If we follow the natural flow of logic¡­"


    " You want to say Big Sister Su stole the ne?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he looked at Wu Mengji.


    " Aunty, Why don''t you just say that you think Sister Yunqi is the thief? Or she deliberately stole your ne?"


    " I¡­ I didn''t mean that."


    Wu Mengji took a step back as she looked away. " However, Everyone saw how fiercely Su Yunqipeted with me for that ne."


    " What if¡­I mean, I am not saying¡­But¡­"


    " Mr. Dong, What do you think?" Jia Hao didn''t bother with Wu Mengji and looked at Mr. Dong.


    " I¡­ I believe the thief is still within us. So, We can''t let anyone go out of this party." Mr. Dong replied.


    " Why don''t we simply check everyone''s belongings?" Wu Mengji jumped in.


    " In that way, No one would be able to say anything at all."


    " Aunty, I believe you don''t have any dignity. " Jia Hao smiled. " But that doesn''t mean everyone is like you."


    " Checking someone''s belonging is same as taking them as suspect. So, You think you want to do that?"


    " In this ce? Which person isn''t a dignitary?"


    Jia Hao''s voice raised murmurs among the crowd as they nodded to hid words.


    After all, Why would they cooperate? They didn''t stole Wu Mengji''s ne.


    " Yo-You!:


    Wu Mengji clenched her fist as she looked at Jia Hao. " Why are you so against of it? Does that mean you want to let the thief get away?"


    " Or, You are afraid to get discovered?"


    " Wu Mengji, Do you understand what you are saying?" Su Yunqi red up as she saw Wu Mengji pointing at Jia Hao.


    " You think I don''t have any shame? Or you take me as some petty thief who would steal a ne from you? A million yuan is nothing for me."


    " Who knows? That''s a pretty rare set." Wu Mengji snorted. " Maybe you got your eyes on it?"


    " And, being rich doesn''t mean you can''t steal."


    " You know what?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he put his hands behind his back.


    " Aunty Wu is right. It''s better to rify the situation rather than muddling it."


    " Mr. Dong, But I would like to hear your thoughts."


    Mr. Dong clenched his teeth. If he agrees, that mean he suspects Su Yunqi and other guests here. But if he doesn''t, that would mean he is leaving the thief scot free.


    " Miss Su, I apologize for such inconvenience. However, I would ask your permissionto check your purse."


    Su Yunqi clenched her teeth as she took deep breaths. She never thought she would face such situation here.


    But suddenly, A palm appeared on her shoulder, making her stun.


    " It''s alright, Aunt Su. Just rx and enjoy the show, ok?" Jia Hao smiled as he held the purse and walked tiowards Mr. Dong.


    " Here, Take the purse and check it." Jia Hao handled it nonchntly.


    The secretary of Mr. Don''t nodded as he walked forward. Opening the purse, he looked inside carefully.


    " What is it? You expression¡­It doesn''t look good." Wu Mengji spoke as she eagerly stepped forward.


    " What? Why don''t you tell?"


    " Well¡­" The secretary shrugged. " There is no ne at all."


    " Wh-What?" Wu Mengji was stunned. " That''s¡­That''s impossible!"


    " There has to be my ne." Wu Mengji shouted as she snatched the purse.


    Turning upside down, Su Yunqi''s cards, makeup and some other stuff dropped. However, there was no sight of any ne.


    " What? Shocked?" Jia Hao gave a cold grin.


    " Everyone can see, There is no ne. However, I wonder why Aunty Wu was so confident that the ne was inside this purse?"


    " Aunt Wu, Are you hiding something?"


    " I¡­I¡­Why would I?"


    Wu Mengji took a step back as sheposed herself. " I was just¡­"


    " Well, How about we check your purse?"


    " Huh?"


    Before Wu Mengji could react, Jia Hao had already snatched her purse.


    " Well, I wonder what I will get here¡­Oh?"


    Wu Mengji felt something ominous. " Wh-Why are you holding my purse? Give it back!"


    " Alright¡­ Here, take it."


    Jia Hao passed the purse to Wu Mengji. But suddenly, with a small thud, a ne fell from the purse.


    The crows became silent as everyone looked at it.


    " Isn''t that¡­"


    " The pendant that got¡­Stolen?"


    " Holy! It was with her all along?"


    Wu Mengji''s eyes almost popped out when she saw that.


    " Imp-Impossible! How is this possible!" Wu Menji screamed.


    " Yo-You! You cheated! Yes, It must be some sort of trick!"


    " Why do you think it''s a trick?" Jia Hao chuckled as he raised his brow.


    " Because It was supposed to be inside Su Yunqi''s purse!"

 Chapter 207: Wu Mengji Gets Kicked Out

    Like an average cliche, there is no party that happens without any sort of drama.


    Jia Hao could already guessed Wu Mengji bribing a person to secretly take the ne and frame Su Yunqi. It was probably she who spilled the drink on Su Yunqi''s clothes.


    As Su Yunqi was cleaning her clothes in the washroom, the girl secretly ced the ne in Su Yunqi''s purse.


    Like a perfect female protagonist, Su Yunqi totally didn''t notice the changes in her purse, not she open it once again for any reason.


    '' If everything happened normally, the ne would have been found in Su Yunqi''s purse.''


    '' Even though many wouldn''t have believed Su Yunqi was the thief, her reputation probably going to get stained.''


    '' After all, once a gossip starts, it spreads like wildfire. Wu Mengji would have used the chance to fan the mes and make Su Yunqi go even lower.''


    '' Tsk, Who is writing such plots? Even I can write better than it.''


    Jia Hao became amused as he looked at Wu Mengji.


    Originally, he already found the ne inside the purse of Su Yunqi. However, he swiftly ced it inside his Pot of Miracle.


    After that, when he checked Wu Mengji''s purse, he swept his hands and dropped the ne. In that way, everyone saw the ne dropping from Wu Mengji''s purse.


    " Well, I guess we found the thief after all." Jia Hao''s tone was sarcastic as he looked at Wu Mengji.


    " Aunty Wu, Perhaps you have gotten too old? Shouldn''t you check for dementia?"


    "Believe me, Aunty Wu, it''s a rather dangerous disease. What if you start to forget other things?"


    " Yo-You! Bastard! You want to frame me?" Wu Mengji suppressed her voice as snarled.


    " Do I need to frame you?" Jia Hao shrugged. " You already admitted your crime, Aunty Wu."


    " Yo-You¡­"


    " Which bitch is yapping so loudly? My pookie is getting all scared."


    Jia Hao turned around and saw a middle aged woman walking towards them, holding a ck cat in her arms. Behind her were two tall and young bodyguards.


    Su Yunqi''s eyes sparkled as she saw it was none other than Ran Jiyue.


    " Old Dong, What are you doing? If you keep people like this in this party, then allow us to leave."


    Mr. Dong snapped back as he looked at Wu Mengji. " Miss Wu, We don''t want any drama here. Please, leave this ce."


    " Wh-What do you mean?" Wu Mengji''s expression faltered. " I am also a respectable guest! You can''t just drive me out like that."


    " Miss Wu, Would you like to call the police? I believe if they check, they would reveal everything." Mr. Dong''s tone became cold.


    Jia Hao looked at the waitress and smiled. " Why wait for the police? If Aunty Wu likes the hard way, I have other methods as well."


    The waitress suddenly felt everyone''s gaze as she fell to her knees.


    " It was¡­It was Wu Menghji!"


    The waitress hurriedly spoke. " She gave me 10,000 Yuan to put the ne inside Miss Su''s purse. I am innocent!"


    Jia Hao shrugged when he heard that. " Meh, That was boring. She revealed everything far too easily."


    " Yo-You! Bitch, You dare to lie!" Wu Mengji tried to charge toward the waitress and p her.


    " You fucking worthless peasants! You think you can nder me¡­"


    " WU MENGJI!"


    Mr. Dong''s expression was livid as he shouted. " Guards! Drag this mad woman out and throw her outside."


    " No! You can''t do this to me!"


    " Su Yunqi, You know me, right? How could I do this to you?" Wu Mengji turned around and looked at Su Yunqi.


    " Someone is trying to put a dent in our friendship."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Su Yunqi''s voice was cid.


    " Unfortunately, I think that person has seeded, Wu Mengji. Because I don''t think you as a friend at all."


    " Ugh, Just looking at this bitch, my mood is getting bad." Ran Jiyue spoke as she caressed her cat.


    Even the cat couldn''t help but snort at Wu Mengji''s BS.


    As the security guards arrived, Wu Mengji''s expression became as ugly as a squashed eggnt.


    " No! I am not the culprit! Su Yunqi, You bitch!"


    Unfortunately, her voice soon faded as he got dragged outside. Mr. Dong stood up and bowed.


    " Everyone, I apologize for everything that happened now."


    " I guarantee nothing like that would happen next time."


    " Anyway, How about we start the second phase of the charity auction?"


    Jia Hao returned to Su Yunqi and smiled at her. " Well, Aunt Su, I handled everything, right?"


    " Haha, Of course, You did." Su Yunqi sighed as she took a deep breath.


    " I never thought she would stoop so low. I didn''t even¡­do anything."


    " Don''t take me in your heart, Yunqi." Ran Jiyue walked to them as she shook her head.


    " Shit people would behave like shit people. It''s not your fault they did what''s in their nature."


    " Haha, Miss Ran is really telling the truth." Jia Hao chuckled. " See, Aunt Su? It''s not your fault at all."


    " What a goodd." Ran Jiyue couldn''t help but chuckle." So, You are Jia Hao, hm? Not bad, You look even more handsomein real."


    Jia Hao looked at Ran Jiyue and cupped his fist. " You are also looking pretty, Miss Jiyue."


    " I would have fallen for you if you were twenty years younger."


    " Why? Am I not looking beautiful now?" Ran Jiyue pursed her lips as she asked in a rather annoyed voice.


    " Miss Ran, You still aged a bit." Jia Hao smiled lightly. " And I believe you only use regr makeup rather than treating your skin with operation."


    " Despite that, You still look beautiful."


    " Hahaha, You are rather honest, huh?" Ran Jiyue caressed the kitty in her arm as she sighed.


    " Most people just call me aunty or those who want to tter me call me evergreendy. But you told me the truth, even if in a subtle way."


    " No wonder Yunqi likes you."


    " Oh?"


    Jia Hao raised his brows as he turned around and looked at Su Yunqi.


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned red as she stammered. " Miss¡­Miss Ran! What are you saying?"


    " Aw? I think my tongue just slipped¡­" Ran Jiyueughed.


    " Haah, Thank you, Hao''er." Su Yunqi walked to Jia Hao and ruffled his hair as she spoke in an affectionate tone.


    " But you are so full of tricks, hm? You could have told me beforehand. But you chose to humiliate her."


    " Well, Don''t you know?" Jia Hao grinned. " Revenge is something that''s best served cold."


    " I didn''t like that woman at all. She felt like a hyena who would betray you the moment you turn your back to her."


    " You are rather ruthless in your ways. I like it." Ran Jiyue chuckled as she walked towards Jia Hao.


    " Wanna have a drink with me?"

 Chapter 208: Being Wingman For Each Other

    " Hoho, I wonder if Miss Ran asking for only a drink?" Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he chuckled.


    " My my, What do you think will happen something else than drinking?" Ran Jiyue raised her brow as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " I am rather intrigued. It looks like you know me. Are you really a neen year old brat?"


    " Well, I will take that ttery, Miss Ran." Jia Hao grinned. " I am rather knowledgable about women¡­Especially if they are pretty and sessful."


    " Hahaha! Cheeky brat." Ran Jiyueughed. " You can call me Aunt Ran, no need for reservation."


    " But, Since you know me, Don''t be shy." She showed Jia Hao her teeth. " I won''t bite you."


    " Well, Aunt Ran, You already have a pair of drinking partners." Jia Hao looked at the bodyguards standing behind Ran Jiyue.


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but blush when she heard the conversation between Jia Hao and Ran Jiyue. Despite their age gaps, both of them conversed naturally, throwing sexual innunedos at each other.


    " But, Miss Ran, I wonder if you happen to have some minutes for me. I have business n for you."


    " Huh? I am interested. What is it about?" Ran Jiyue looked at Jia Hao and asked.


    " Didn''t I tell you I would have fallen for you look twenty years younger?" Jia Hao grinned. " What if it happens in reality?"


    " What if¡­There is a miracle medicine that has such wondrous effect?"


    Ran Jiyue''s eyes squinted when she heard that. " Boy, You are speaking rather boldly. A miracle medicine that can make me look twenty years younger?"


    Even Su Yunqi was stunned when she heard Jia Hao''s words. " Hao''er, How is that possible? And even if some chemical can rejuvenate the skin, the side effects might be sever."


    " No, It''s not like such medicines doesn''t exist." Ran Jiyue shook her head. " But one with such great effect would be very rare, as finding and Imperial Green Jade in a pile of rocks."


    " But ancient medicines with simr but lesser effect do exists. But their production is extremely limited and after one use, their effect also decreases."


    " Is that true?" Su Yunqi was stunned. " A medicine that make someone look younger¡­That sounds truly marvelous."


    " Hehe, I know it''s hard to believe. But, Such a thing exists."


    Ran Jiyue gave a nostalgic chuckle. " Because I ate something like once."


    " Aunt Ran is pretty knowledgeable. It''s true that such medicines are rare." Jia Hao smiled. " But, Recently we have discovered some new ancient herbs that show such effects."


    " If we can achieve that, I hope Miss Ran would support us."


    " Haha, Of course." Ran Jiyueughed. " If such a thing exists, I will give you any amount you desire to get my hands on it."


    " Aunt Ran, No need to be concerned about that." Jia Hao smiled as he shook his head.


    " All I need is your support and endorsement. After that, I will personally give you a special batch of that medicine."


    " Alright, I agree to this deal." Ran Jiyue nodded with a smile.


    " Haah, It''s good to be young, huh? I don''t know you got such an idea at such a young age."


    " What can I say? I am a genius after all." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Su Yunqi, You are really blessed to have such a¡­Step son? Is that right?" Ran Jiyue asked with a coy smile.


    " Well, You can say that¡­or call me her nephew." Jia Haoughed lightly. " But nothing would change the fact that I love her."


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned red when she heard Jia Hao. Ran Jiyue also raised his brows.


    " Oh, believe me, Jia Hao, Your Mom also loved you very much."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi. " Mom, What do you say?"


    " Gosh, Jia Hao, you are making me so¡­flustered." Su Yunqi rubbed her cheeks when Jia Hao called her mom.


    " I mean¡­You said before that I can call you mom." Jia Hao shrugged with a grin.


    " But Yunqi, Have you never thought something?" Ran Jiyue decided to y as a matchmaker.


    " You and Jia Hao look pretty together."


    " Wh-What do you mean?" Su Yunqi pretended not to understand Ran Jiyue.


    " I mean, He is handsome, intelligent, caring¡­" Ran Jiyue counted her fingers. " Also a cheeky brat."


    " Uhm¡­But he is still my step son though?" Su Yunqi spoke in a low voice.


    " Not blood rted, yeah?"


    " Miss¡­Miss Ran!" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but stomp her feet as she felt her body turning warm.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s arm wrapped around her waist as he shook his head. " Aunt Ran, I won''t let you tease my mom. She gets flustered easily."


    " Oh my, A knight in shining armor." Ran Jiyueughed. " Fine, I won''t tease you anymore."


    " But, You know what? If I give my opinion¡­" Ran Jiyue shrugged.


    " Fuck the society. No need to care what other thinks. If you feel like doing it, just do it."


    " As long as something isn''t harming others actively, there is no sin in this world."


    Su Yunqi''s heart thumped when she heard Ran Jiyue''s words. She understood that Ran Jiyue telling her subtly to indulge in her fantasy.


    '' But..Is that the right thing to do?''


    She bit her lips as she tried to suppress the random thoughts in her mind. Jia Hao couldn''t help but secretly give a thumbs up to Ran Jiyue.


    " Well, Aunt Ran, Since you helped me¡­How about I also help you?" Jia Hao looked at her with a smile.


    " The Sunshine University, A care nearby there is pretty popr. You should go there regrly."


    " Who knows? Maybe you would find a man to your liking?"


    Ran Jiyue''s eyes turned wide when she heard Jia Hao. " My my, Already trying act as a matchmaker for this olddy? How considerable."


    " Aren''t you doing the same for me? It''s only right to return my favor." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Gosh, Both of you would make me go mad." Su Yunqi pouted as she could understand the ambiguous talking.


    " Very well, Brat. I shall remember it." Ran Jiyue turned around to leave.


    " Don''t forget to keep me updated about the miracle medicine."


    " Don''t worry, Aunt Ran. I shall report you as soon as possible." Jia Haoughed.


    " Now, Can you let me go?" Su Yunqi nced at Jia Hao.


    " Why? Don''t you like it, Mom?" Jia Hao squeezed her arm around her waist.


    " Hmph, Just wait till we reach home. You are going to get punished." Su Yunqi replied yfully, feigning anger.


    " Next item, It''s a pair of Nine Gem Bracelets. It''s an ancient imperial item, used by a powerful empress."


    " As you can see, there are nine different gems and the bracelet is made up of gold."


    " The price starts from¡­"


    " Ten million."


    Jia Hao spoke casually, making everyone stunned.


    " Hao''er, What are you doing?" Su Yunqi was baffled.


    " Well, This one is for you, Aunt Su."

 Chapter 209: What is Art?

    The crowd became stunned when they saw the bidding price starting from ten million at once. Jia Hao sat there nonchntly as the entire ce became silent.


    " No.21 has started the bid with a great amount of 10 million! Does anyone want to raise the bid?"


    The auctioneer''s expression brightened as he looked around him?"


    " Anyone? The clock is ticking."


    Su Yunqi''s breathing became hard as she looked at Jia Hao. " Hao''er, ten million for them¡­"


    " Shhh."


    Jia Hao gently pressed his finger on her soft lips, silencing her gently.


    " Aunt Su, I just realized I have never given you a proper gift. So, Let me use this chance, alright?"


    Su Yunqi pouted cutely as she saw Jia Hao asserting dominance over her. However, she felt a strange warmth in her heart.


    " Alright, The Empress''s bracelet is sold! Congrattions to bidder no.22 to get it."


    Not long after, Jia Hao got his hands on the bracelets. As Su Yunqi decided to pull out her card, Jia Hao stopped her.


    " What are you doing, Aunt Su? This is my gift to you. So, It would be only appropriate if I buy it with my own money."


    " Hao''er, It''s ten million yuan!" Su Yunqi''s eyes turned wide when she heard that.


    " You want to pay ten million by yourself?"


    " Hehe, What''s the problem with it? You don''t think I can earn that much?" Jia Hao raised his brows.


    " I didn''t mean that." Su Yunqi hurriedly shook her head. " But, still...Even if you have money, why don''t you save it?"


    *DING!*


    The moment Su Yunqi finished speaking, Jia Hao casually swiped his card, making the machine go green. With a smile, he took the bracelets and presented to Su Yunqi.


    " Yo-You!!"


    Feeling speechless, Su Yunqi merely sighed, unable to say anything else.


    " Fine, since you have bought them for me, why don''t you put them on my arm also?"


    " Hoho, At your service, My Empress."


    Jia Hao grinned as he held Su Yunqi''s arms and slowly put on the bracelets on them. Su Yunqi could feel Jia Hao''s gentleness as the cold surface of gold mped on her wrists.


    The nine different gems shed with a dim light, making them look mesmerizing. Su Yunqi couldn''t help but feel a strange allure from them.


    " They¡­They look so pretty."


    " They suit you, yes?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Don''t you think my sense of fashion is great, Aunt Su?"


    " Oh? I thought you wanted to call me Mom from now?" Su Yunqi puckered her lips.


    " I can?" Jia Hao raised his brows as a smile spread on her face. " Hmm, I can but¡­Should I? Mom?"


    Raising her brows, Su Yunqi could see the mischievous glint on Jia Hao''s face, making her blush. Flicking her finger on his forehead, she berated Jia Hao.


    " What are you thinking, Hm? Again some naughty things?"


    " What can I do, Mom? I can''t help myself when I see you~"


    Su Yunqi rubbed her face as she could feel the blushing creeping across her body.


    Jia Hao decided to not tease her anymore as his focus went back to the auction.


    " Ladies and Gentlemen, This is one of our final two items. Behold! A painting of Tang Buyu!"


    As the cloth was lifted, an ancient painting appeared before everyone.


    It depicted a woman sitting on a river bank, enjoying the falling leaves of a tree. From far, a man was standing, looking at the woman and using her as a reference for the painting.


    " Verified by our appraisers, this is Tang Buyu''s authentic artwork. Its name is ''The Lady of the Riverside Vige''."


    " A remarkable painting, and only a few remaining paintings of Tang Buyu."


    " The bidding price starts from 3 million Yuan!"


    " 5 million!"


    " 6 million!"


    " 20 Million!"


    Jia Hao simply raised the bid calmly, making the crows stunned once again.


    " 25 Million!"


    " 50 Million!"


    Su Yunqi almost jumped out of her seat when she heard Jia Hao''s bid reaching 50 million yuan at once.


    " Hao-Hao''er! What are you doing?" Su Yunqi asked in a suppressed voice.


    " Fifty million? Just for a painting?"


    " That painting is pretty unique, Mom." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, I have too much money in my bank ount."


    " Yo-You¡­"


    Su Yunqi was speechless when she heard Jia Hao''s words. However, she knew Jia Hao wasn''t an irresponsible child. So, She didn''t say anything.


    Jia Hao''s eyes gleamed as he looked at the painting.


    [ The Lady of Riverside Vige: A painting made by Tang Boyu, a famous artist of ancient dynasty. This picture is blessed by his artistic skill]


    [ Ding! Source of otherworldly knowledge detected]


    '' This painting is supposed toete in the Urban Fantasy Game. Maybe it was that Bloody Murder Route?''


    '' Possessing it, the yer can get the painting profession directly. Hehe, To think I will find it here.''


    Jia Hao rubbed his palms as he looked at the painting. Since he raised the bid to fifty million, no one dared to raise the bid further.


    " Alright! This painting goes to bidder no.22! Congrats!"


    The auctioneer mmed the hammer, showing the painting was sold. Not long after, Jia Hao got his hands on the painting.


    " So ancient, but the painting is preserved well." Su Yunqi gave her opinion.


    " What do you think, Mom? Why not use this as advertising?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " See thisdy? You can craft some fine jade jewelry on this theme. I believe the market would appreciate it."


    " Theme of thedy of the riverside vige?" Su Yunqi''s mind spun as she rubbed her chin.


    " Interesting, luxury depicting simplicity. It would work well."


    As expected, you find opportunity everywhere, Hm?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but pinch Jia Hao''s cheek.


    " Everything for you, Mother."


    " Our final item! A fine piece of modern contemporary art!"


    It was a ck canvas, with some toilet paper dangling from it. Some toilet paper hanging outside of the canvas, looking ripped.


    Everyone was stunned when they saw it.


    " This is called The Sorrow, made by a modern artist. As you can see, one can feel the raging emotion it contains within its fragile frames."


    " Oh my goodness! Such a piece of art."


    " Truly, Befitting of the name."


    " Interesting, I never thought I would see this here."


    Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi with a baffled expression. '' Mom, care to tell me what''s so good about this?"


    " Oh? I don''t know?"


    Su Yunqi shrugged. " But you gotta show some interest in it, right?"


    " I don''t know if I show some interest in such a moneyundering scheme." Jia Hao curled his lips.


    After a heavy inquiry, and using his Sage''s Divine Eyes to the fullest, Jia Hao finally understood the story behind the piece of shi¡­Art.


    The ck canvas showed the bleakness of the world, and the white toilet paper showed the threads of hope.


    As for the ripped part of the toilet paper dangling outside of the canvas, showed the unfortunates of the world who can''t even afford toilet paper.


    Such a believable and artistic abstract art. It can easily move only rich and sophisticated people to tears/


    '' Guess the artist doesn''t know about bidets or hand wipes.'' Jia Hao mumbled inwardly.


    " 10 Million!"


    " 30 Million!"


    " 60 Million!"


    " 100 Million!"


    '' Here goes the moneyundering scheme¡­Perfectly white and legal.'' Jia Hao sighed.

 Chapter 210: Finally Getting A Chance

    " Wow, To think it would reach a hundred million." Su Yunqi chuckled.


    " But don''t worry, Hao''er. You at least got an authentic piece of work."


    " I am fine, Mother." Jia Hao chuckled.


    As the auction ended, Jia Hao and Su Yunqi walked out. Su Yunqi instinctively locked her arm with Jia Hao''s arm.


    " Well, Mother, You didn''t eat much in the banquet. Aren''t you feeling hungry?" Jia Hao appreciated her gesture.


    " Uh, I wanted to eat. But after what Wu Mengji did, I lost my appetite." Su Yunqi sighed.


    " This won''t do. How about we have some real food? The stalls must be open now." Jia Hao proposed.


    " Some deep fried bun or mutton skewer sticks? Or how about grilled pork belly with spicy sauce and rice bowl."


    " Gosh, Hao''er, You really know how to stir my hunger, huh?" Su Yunqi nudged him yfully.


    " Fine, Since you said so much, I am not going to let you go till you feed me all those."


    " Then hop on."


    Jia Hao grinned as he opened the car door for Su Yunqi. " I promise you a fine sichuan cuisine."


    " Haha, Then lead the way. My stomach is already grumbling.


    Su Yunqi sat in Jia Hao''s car as they both drove off. Jia Hao''s driving was smooth as he drove through the traffic with ease.


    Not long after, they arrived at the food streets, with numerous stalls selling various things.


    " Fried chicken! Fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce!"


    " Mutton skewer! Try our best selling mutton skewers!"


    " I will have a pork belly BBQ with Rice. Two servings."


    Su Yunqi looked around as she saw Jia Hao giving the order. Jia Hao saw her smile.


    " What is it, Mother? You want something else?"


    " Not really. I was just thinking about something." Su Yunqi rubbed her cheeks.


    " I was just thinking¡­It''s been a while since I came to eat street food."


    " Sometimes, Lan and Xing''er do bring it. But, It''s no fun if you don''t eat it right there, yes?"


    " Haha, You really know your thing, Mother." Jia Hao chuckled.


    As their turn came, Jia Hao passed a bowl to Su Yunqi and got one for himself.


    The smoke came out from the charred pork belly, with the spicy aromatic sauce could easily make someone''s mouth water.


    " Huff! Huff! It''s¡­It''s too hot."


    " Patience, Mother. The food isn''t going anywhere." Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi as he shook his head.


    " Here, Let me feed you."


    " Hao''er, I am not some little kid." Su Yunqi pouted when she saw Jia Hao blowing the pork belly and trying to feed her.


    " Alright, You are a bigdy. Now, eat¡­"


    With a chuckle, Su Yunqi lowered her head, eating from Jia Hao''s hands.


    " Yes¡­It''s not too hot." Su Yunqi''s expression turned odd.


    '' I blew so many times, yet mine remained hot. But Hao''er only blew a few times and his bites are perfect?''


    " So, Mother, Care to answer my question?" Jia Hao pursed his lips as he looked at Su Yunqi.


    " What you talked with Ran Jiyue?"


    " Cough! Cough!"


    Su Yunqi almost choked when she heard Jia Hao''s question. Licking her lips with her tongue, she feigned innocence.


    " What are you talking about, Hao''er? I don''t understand¡­"


    " Really?" Jia Hao hummed. " Then maybe, I have to talk with Aunt Ran¡­"


    " No! Nope!"


    Su Yunqi hurriedly protested. " Who knows what that horny old woman would say?"


    " Mother, Don''t you think you should be honest with me?" Jia Hao chuckled as he kept feeding her.


    " Well, I mean¡­ I need some time¡­" Su Yunqi''s voice became meek.


    But as she opened her mouth, Jia Hao''s chopstick didn''te.


    " Huh? Why aren''t you feeding me?"


    " Uhh¡­Because My bowl is finished?"


    Su Yunqi''s expression turned flustered as she looked at Jia Hao''s bowl.


    " My goodness! I am so sorry for my behavior! I didn''t even notice."


    " Haha, That''s good, Mother. That means you were hungry." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Here, You take my bowl." Su Yunqi handed Jia Hao her bowl. " But being honest, Now I am feeling a bit full now."


    After finishing, they strolled on the streets. Suddenly, Jia Hao walked to a stall and returned with something.


    " Wait, Those are¡­Candied Haws?"


    Su Yunqi''s eyes sparkled as she saw the candied haws in Jia Hao''s hands.


    " Wow, It''s¡­It''s been years since I tried once."


    Jia Haoughed as he passed a stick to her. " Then why not try now? You can always indulge in your pleasure, Mother."


    " This¡­This bring back memories¡­"


    Suddenly, Su Yunqi paused as she saw Jia Hao staring at him. " Wha-What is it?"


    " Um¡­Oh¡­Nothing."


    Jia Hao blushed a bit as he looked away. Su Yunqi looked at the candied haw and realized what Jia Hao thought.


    She was sucking off the haw, putting the entire fruit in her mouth.


    " Yo-You! Your mind is full of¡­dirty things!" Su Yunqi blushed as she stomped her feet with anger.


    " It''s not my fault, Mother. You just look so¡­alluring." Jia Hao mumbled.


    " Besides, You also have to exin. You told your feelings to Ran Jiyue, but not me? Do you know how I felt when she gave me the hints instead of you?"


    " I¡­I wasn''t confessing anything." Su Yunqi''s voice became a whisper. " I was just¡­asking for advice."


    " Advice for what?"


    " About¡­About ourplex rtionship." Su Yunqi stared at Jia Hao as she ced her palm on his cheek.


    " Hao''er, Do you really want to walk on this path? It''s simply so¡­Taboo."


    " Does it matter? Does it matter if I love you that much?" Jia Hao replied.


    " And please, don''t say anything about society. Do you think an elephant will care if some street dogs bark at it?"


    " Tsk, Talking like a rich guy, huh?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " But yes, sometimes I do think¡­"


    " Fuck the society?" Jia Hao jests."


    " I think of not adhering to the social rules and living life to its fullest." Su Yunqi red at Jia Hao.


    " Mom, you just said what I said, but more eloquently." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Ran Jiyue did gave me some pointers. But I wonder if I should¡­Follow them." Su Yunqi sighed.


    Suddenly, she felt Jia Hao''s arm hugging her waist. Her body turned warm, but Su Yunqi didn''t resist Jia Hao.


    " I have already confessed my feelings to you. And, I just want your answer." Jia Hao replied with a soothing voice.


    " But before answering, won''t you give me a chance?"


    " Well¡­Since you are asking so much¡­" Su Yunqi sighed as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " You can¡­Um¡­Have¡­a shot."


    " YESSS! YESSSSSS!"


    Su Yunqi saw Jia Hao jumping with joy, making her even more flustered.


    " Jia Hao! Behave yourself! We are in publick!" Su Yunqi stammered as she tried to control Jia Hao.


    " Hahaha! I was just happy!" Jia Haoughed as he winked at Su Yunqi.


    " I won''t disappoint you, Mom."


    " Can you call me Yunqi in private? You don''t need to¡­call me¡­Mom." Su Yunqi spoke in a low voice.


    " Nope."


    Jia Hao gave a devilish grin as he whispered in her ears.


    " I believe calling you mother does give us a feeling of taboo, yes?"


    " Don''t say you don''t like it, Mom!~"


    " Cheeky brat!" Su Yunqi spat out.


    She clenched her fist as her heart was beating pretty fast. But after that, she didn''t reject Jia Hao''s idea.


    After all, a little taboo does spice up the mundane life.

    Also, don''t forget to put on review because my reviews in this novel is he low.

 Chapter 211: Su Lan Discovers!

    As they returned to the mansion, Jia Hao and Su Yunqi had a newfound spark between them. Su Yunqi''s heart was beating fast, making her unable to look at Jia Hao.


    But, Jia Hao''s expressions as calm and confident, and somewhat happy also. After all, he finally managed to get Su Yunqi''s attention.


    As they arrived, Su Xing''er already went to sleep. Su Lan was watching T.V in the living room as she saw them.


    " Mom, Hao''er, you are back."


    " Haha, Were you waiting for us, dear?" Su Yunqi smiled as she sat beside Su Lan.


    " How did the party went, Mom?" Su Lan asked in a curious voice.


    " Believe me, Sister Lan. It was quite a drama." Jia Hao chuckled as he also sat on the sofa.


    As he started to exin what happened at the event, Su Lan''s excitement increased.


    " Damn it! That bitch really tried to frame mom?" Su Lan couldn''t help but snort.


    " Mom, Didn''t I tell you? That Ping Mengji is vile as a snake."


    " Hehe, She changed her name to Wu Mengji." Jia Hao joked. " She couldn''t even feel confident with her own name."


    " Haah, But you were right on time though?" Su Lan sighed. " You did well by humiliating that bitch."


    " But how did you do that, though?" Su Yunqi asked in a curious voice. " When did you take out the ne from my purse and put it in her''s?"


    " Hehe, Mom, A magician never reveals the secret of his tricks."


    " What a cheeky brat."


    Both Su Lan and Su Yunqi pouted as they looked away. But seeing arge cylindrical roll behind Jia Hao, Su Lan was interested.


    " Hao''er, Is that the painting you have bought from the auction?"


    " Hehe, Sister Lan is right. It''s an authentic piece."


    Rolling out the painting, Su Lan looked at the Lady of The Riverside Vige.


    " Such a beautiful painting. This art style is indeed Tang Buyu''s¡­" Su Lan mumbled.


    " You have a knack for collecting ancient items, yes?" Jia Hao smiled. " Consider this as a gift for you, Sister Lan."


    " Wh-What? Really?" Su Lan was stunned. " Wait, Since this is an authentic painting, how much it cost?"


    " Ehh? I mean¡­It was a charity auction so, I got it in less. Don''t ask the price, just ept it."


    Su Yunqi sighed as she saw Jia Hao casually gifting the painting to Su Lan.


    '' That''s a fifty million yuan painting. Yet he gave it away to her.''


    " But mom, what are those?"


    " Ah, these?"


    Su Yunqi looked at her bracelets, sparkling with various expensive gems. " This is also something Jia Hao bought. It''s called a nine gem imperial bracelet."


    Taking off one, she handed it to Su Lan. Su Lan touched the piece of jewelry in fascination. " Such beautiful craftsmanship. It does suit you, Mom."


    " Tsk tsk, Hao''er really spent a lot in this auction, hm?" Su Lan chuckled.


    " Well, I had a bit of money in my bank ount. So, Why not?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " Money is something that should be spent, not stacked."


    " Hao''er, But you really spent a bit too much today. Where did you get all that money?" Su Yunqi asked in an intrigued tone.


    " You aren''t doing anything shady, do you?"


    " Not really." Jia Hao shrugged. " I just sold something Elder Chen of Tianguang Hall. I earned quite a lot from him."


    " Is that so? Damn, I didn''t know you already started a business." Su Lan muttered inwardly.


    " Just some casual jobs, nothing serious."


    " Hmph, Casual jobs earning tens of millions at once? Sure." Su Lan mumbled


    " Anyway, I am feeling tired. So, I will go and sleep."


    " Good night, Hao''er."


    '' Good night, Dear."


    But Su Yunqi''s body shivered slightly as Jia Hao touched her skin lightly before leaving.


    '' Brrr¡­What was that?'' Su Yunqi mumbled. But the touch of Jia Hao was rather electrifying, making her body burn with desire.


    '' Jia Hao really got a sweet tongue. But he is also so caring¡­Haah, Am I that gullible?''


    '' But today''s evening¡­It was more fun than I thought. It was almost like a date.''


    '' Wait! So, Jia Hao wasn''t bluffing when he said he would bring me to an unexpected date?''


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned pink as she felt the warmth of her body increasing.


    " Mom, What happened at the party? Hao''er is calling you Mom too?" Su Lan raised her brow and looked at Su Yunqi.


    " Ahaha, Yes?" Su Yunqi fumbled as she tried to look away.


    " Maybe he has gotten more epting towards us?"


    " If that''s the case, It would be good," Su Lan thought for a moment and nodded.


    " But nheless, he is really a helping hand, isn''t he?"


    " He is mature beyond his own age." Su Yunqi sighed. " I want him to enjoy his teenage years. I know he is a genius, but at this rate, he will overwork himself"


    " Don''t worry, Jia Hao isn''t someone who would be overworked. If he can, he will bezy." Su Lan rolled her eyes.


    " Ahaha, You are right." Su Yunqi giggled when she heard that. " He is someone who avoids hard work utmost."


    " Nnngh, I am feeling pretty full and tired. I am going to change."


    " Yes, You are right, Mother." Su Lan nodded. " You better take some rest."


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao fell on his bed and closed his eyes. Soon, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.


    Soon enough, he found himself in Yun Continent. Looking at his familiar ceiling, Jia Hao hurriedly got up and donned his ancient robe.


    After that, he didn''t forget to check inside his Pot of Miracles.


    [ Enchanted Jasmine Essence: Essence of jasmine enchanted by otherworldly energy. It has a calming effect upon inhaling. Only a single drop is required]


    [ Enchanted Rose Essence: Essence of rose, enchanted by otherwordly energy. It was a passionate effect, making a person feel romantic upon inhaling. Only a single drop is required]


    [ Enchanted Essence of Spirit Lavender: Essence ofvender, enchanted by otherworldly energy. The fragrance can calm the heart and keep away qi deviation. It can enhance the effect of meditation, making someone easier toprehend]


    [ Super Soap Cubes: Gel like substance which can be used as the base of a soap. It can turn into liquid and it will act as a shampoo. High quality stuff]


    [ Poison Chocte: A chocte with enchanted sweetness yet with a lurking deadly poison inside. After all the sweetness enhance the effect of a poison]


    Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide when he saw the new enchanted stuff inside the Pot of Miracle.


    '' Holy shit! Look at these!''


    Jia Hao ordered the basic materials to make shampoo and soap in the Yun continent from the Videotube girl. He ced an order and made a double payment.


    So, it barely took any time before he received everything he wanted. Not to mention, he also purchased a lot of things from the supermarket.


    '' Hmm, These are rhe natural condensed extracts of the flowers I purchased to make the fragrance of soap and shampoo.''


    '' However, they enchanted into something precious.Not to mention, the extract of thevender turned into the extract of spiritvender. This is clearly a high grade treasure.''


    '' But the chocte¡­I thought it would turn into an energy boosting chocte. What the hell with this poisonous one?''


    Jia Hao''s expression turned odd as he looked at the description of the poisonous chocte.


    '' Don''t tell me the chocte was moldy and turned into poison? Hmm, But it will work well, I suppose?''


    Jia Hao was more ted about the business of shampoo and soap. With those, he would make a fortune in the Great Yan Kingdom.


    Looking around, he saw the room was empty, with faint sunlighting from the window.


    '' Huh? A day must have passed.'' Jia Hao pondered as he walked out. As expected, Cai Yixue wasn''t inside.


    '' The monster tide shalle in a few days. I have to start making preparations from now.'' Jia Hao pondered inwardly.


    Looking at the sunlight outside, Jia Hao couldn''t help but stretch his arm. The difference between the atmosphere in Yun Continent and Azure Sea World is naked to the eyes.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao shouted.


    " Minmin, Where are you?"


    Not long after, Minmin arrived hurriedly. " Young Lord, You are back."


    " Come with me to the bedroom."


    Minmin couldn''t help but stammer. " But Young Lord, This is daytime¡­"


    Suddenly, she shut up when Jia Hao threw her a stern nce. " Ahem, I was just joking Young Lord."


    Walking in, Minmin saw the soap bars and the extracts. Jia Hao took out the extracts and put a tenth of its amount in arge vase of natural diluter.


    '' Take this and melt everything in a pot. After mixing well, solidify them and cut them into bars."


    Minmin received a parchment from Jia Hao as he saw the recipe for making the soap.


    " Young Lord, You are giving me the method so easily. What if it gets stolen?" Minmin bit her lips as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Minmin." Jia Hao chuckled. " Even if they stole the form, where they are going to get the raw materials?"


    " Besides, If it gets leaked¡­I will use this chance to punish you."


    Minmin''s body shivered as she could understand what kind of ''punishment'' Jia Hao was talking about.


    " Bah! Pervert Young Lord!" Minmin snorted lightly as she turned around.


    " I shall call a few maids to carry out these things. The process is short. I shall try to make them as fast as possible."

    Eastern Sea City,te night.


    '' Ngh, I am so thirsty.''


    Su Lan mumbled as she walked with sleepy eyes in the hall However, she stopped her steps as she heard some faint sound.


    '' Huh? Those sounds...They areing from Mom''s room?''


    Su Lan rubbed her eyes as she walked to Su Lan''s room. As she opened the door and peeked through it,.


    " Hnnnghh!~ Hao''er...More...Faster..."


    " I love you...Hao''er!"


    Su Lan''s sleepiness faded.


    " ???!! HUH??!"

 Chapter 212: New Case

    Without any hesitation, Jia Hao went to the Fragrance Medicine Pavilion. As the workers there were familiar, Jia Hao got his usual VIP treatment.


    Not long after, Pharmacist Mo arrived with a smiling expression.


    " Greetings, Young Lord. Howe you are here today."


    " I havee to check the stocks of medicinal herbs. Here, take this." Jia Hao handed him a small list.


    " Check how many herbs are there in our store?"


    " Hmm, Most of them are pretty good herbs. Only two of them are highly valued medicinal herbs." Pharmacist Mo pondered for a moment before replying.


    " We certainly have them in our stocks. However, I need you to specify the quantity, so I can purchase more in case you need it."


    " I understand. Please prepare a batch of herbs. I am going to concoct something."


    " Really?"


    Pharmacist Mo couldn''t help but be excited. With a single gesture, he summoned a few servants and asked them to bring the medicinal herbs,


    " Now, I need a cauldron, three buckets of spring water, and the extract of all these medicinal herbs."


    The medicinal servants nodded as they started their work. Jia Hao couldn''t help but look at Pharmacist Mo.


    " So, How does alchemy work? You also use the mecloud crystals to concoct? What about using something like¡­Innate mes?"


    " You mean true mes cultivated by internal qi?" Pharmacist Mo have a wry smile. " Young Lord, You must be joking. How can an old man like me can do that? Only Grandmaster Alchemists and Treasure Forgers can use true mes to refine things."


    " Then what stage are you in?"


    " There are various stages in a profession, like the martial arts realm. Servants, Apprentice, Master, Grandmaster, Kings and Saint."


    " Haah, As for me, I am stuck in the Master stage." Pharmacist Mo sighed.


    " Well, That means you are still more knowledgeable than most people?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I doubt there are many Alchemy Kings across the country?"


    " I understand that. But, I feel I am falling far behind than my peers."


    " Stuck at the Cai Family?" Jia Hao spoke in a joking tone. " Does Pharmacist Mo want to leave?"


    " I can''t, and I won''t." Pharmacist Mo''s expression was resolute. " First of all, I have made promise that I shall stay with the Cai Family forever."


    " Besides, I am currently an old man with a foot inside the grave. Where can I go?"


    " Unlike the rising young ones, my passion for alchemy is waning. Perhaps this store is better for my retirement."


    '' Hmm, I was thinking of giving the Records of Myriad Herbs and Pills to Old Mo. But I guess, he won''t be able to utilize it well. I need to find someone else.''


    Not long after, Jia Hao gotten all the extracts. He gathered them inside the room and asked everyone to leave.


    [ Rejuvenation Super Drink (Orange vor): 1 Big Back of Orange Tang+ 200 ml extract of ck Spot Grass+ 50 gram of ginseng+ 50 Miracle Points]


    [ Energy Recovering Chocte: 1 bar of ck chocte+ 100 grams of Purple Root Grass+ 100 Grams of Century Ginseng+100 Miracle points]


    Jia Hao jumped the ingredients in the Pot of Miracles and started to convert them into the Rejuvenation Super Drink. It was the same drink that saved the vigers of Anzu Vige from the epidemic.


    '' This drink can reduce physical fatigue and energize the body, making someone work faster and efficiently.''


    '' As for the chocte, it can instantly recover the spent internal qi, making it more valuable. Let''s go with the drink first. I need to stock up on them for the uing monster tide.''


    Not long after, Jia Hao came outside with a pot of orange water. The smell of fresh orange spread across the air, making everyone feel a bit sour in their mouth.


    " This¡­Is this that drink you made back then?" Pharmacist Mo looked at Jia Hao with wide eyes.


    " Hehe, What do you think, Elder Mo?" Jia Haoughed as he passed the pot to them. " Here, everyone can drink a small cup."


    " Especially servants, who have been working for long."


    The medicinal servants and workers were stunned when they heard Jia Hao''s words.


    As they drank a cup, everyone''s expression changed instantly.


    " This¡­This tastes so good!"


    " It''s as if I am drinking the mandarin juice!"


    " My body¡­It feels so energized!"


    " Suddenly, the sun doesn''t feel that hot anymore!"


    Everyone felt their body bursting with energy as they looked at Jia Hao with grateful eyes.


    Pharmacist Mo himself took a whole ss and couldn''t help but smack his lips.


    " Amazon! Truly an amazing thing! It can easily rejuvenate a physically exhausted person to the brim!"


    " If it could mass supply, won''t it be a drink to boos the efficiency ofborers?"


    " Hoho, Elder Mo is correct. However, To mass produce, we need to research it a bit." Jia Hao replied.


    If he wishes, he can indeed mass produce this. However, Jia Hao couldn''t guarantee that it would go bad if it stayed outside.


    After all, the Pot of Miracles can keep things fresh if they are put inside as if space and time were frozen.


    But in outside? Who knows what sort of chemical reaction would ur?


    '' Not to mention, Only I can bring the Tang powder here. Unless there is a substitute, I can''t just waste all my Miracle Points to make these drinks.''


    " Elder Mo, you have already seen the effect of this drink, right?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " I want you to gather the ingredients and send them to the Cai Family mansion in a day or two. Also, start gathering people who can easily tend to the injured."


    " Young Lord? What do you mean by that?" Pharmacist Mo''s eyes narrowed as he felt something was about to happen.


    Jia Hao didn''t deny nor confirm it.


    " Elder Mo, It''s not bad to remain cautious, yes?"


    " Young Lord is right. I shall do whatever you say." Old Mo took a deep breath and nodded.


    " You know what, Young Lord? This drink¡­It didn''t just rejuvenate my body." Pharmacist Mo gave a grateful smile.


    " It also made me realize that I can still improve even if I stay in one ce."


    " Young Lord, If you permit me, can I research on your drink? I want to experiment on it."


    " Are you sure, Elder Mo?" Jia Hao was surprised. " It would be my pleasure."


    " I have made quite a lot. So, feel free to use them and gain substantial results."


    " Also, Please keep them sealed tight. You don''t want them to be spoiled, yes?"


    " Of course, Young Lord." Pharmacist Mo nodded.


    Looking at the sky, Jia Hao sighed.


    " Soon, something big about to happen. I want you to stay focused and handle it."


    " Anyway, My task is over. I shall go back now."


    But the moment Jia Hao walked out of the store, two guards stopped him.


    " Guards of Yamen? What do you want from me?"


    " Magistrate Cai has ordered us to bring you back to the Hall of Justice."


    " What?"


    Jia Hao was confused. But seeing the expression of the guards, He realized he couldn''t say no.


    " Fine, Lead the way." Jia Hao agreed reluctantly, knowing there must be something awful waiting for him in the Hall of Justice.


    Not long after, as he arrived, the captain of the guard team greeted him.


    " Third Captain salutes to Investigator Jia."


    " Who said I am the investigator? I am just the Cai Family''s son inw, alright?" Jia Hao red at him.


    " But, Magistrate Cai said you are an investigator though?" The third captain mumbled.


    " Not to mention, I was very fascinated by how easily you handled the murder casest time. You even caught the Moonlight Rapist!"


    " Fine fine, What is it? Why did you call me?" Jia Hao asked with a sigh.


    " There are recent cases of sudden death in a vige far away. The victims are dying and their blood is being sucked."


    " It looks like it''s the work of some demon. Unfortunately, we couldn''t track it at all."


    " So, You want me to go there and check for evidence? And solve the case?" Jia Hao rubbed his forehead.


    " Why me? Aren''t there others?"


    " The other captains are busy with simr work." The third captain smiled.


    " Not to mention, we got the permission from the magistrate."


    " Haah¡­"


    Jia Hao sighed when he heard that. " Father inw really put me in a tight spot, eh?"


    " Where is this vige?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Near Nanhai Mountain."


    " Wait, Nanhai Mountain, you say?" Jia Hao paused as he suddenly thought about something.


    " Hmm, It''s alright. Let''s go now."


    The third captain nodded as he guided Jia Hao to a carriage.


    " What sort of demon do you think could it be?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask.


    " It must be from Nanhai Mountain. Maybe some beast gained sentiment and started killing people?"


    " Or, it could be some dark monster, trying to increase its strength by devouring the blood of people?"


    The demons are the native beasts who gain enlightenment from heaven and earth, making them intelligent.


    Meanwhile, the dark monsters are the monsters who came from another world, through the gray mist and spatial crack.


    '' That Alpha Green Eyed Wolf almost became a true demonic beast. Too bad it met us.''


    '' But gaining enlightenment and bing a demon isn''t a matter of strength only. It''s a matter of chance, a chance from heaven.''


    '' With it, even a ten year old dog can be a demon. Without it, even a thousand year beast will remain a beast, although a rather ferocious beast.''


    '' But I am curious. What if¡­ I get some clue about the monster tide from there?''

 Chapter 213: Attack of Monster

    After knowing that the the dark monsters of Nanhai Mountain going to attack Nanhai City, Jia Hao has been trying to look at additional clues regarding this.


    For example, from where the monsters are going to invade.


    '' The Nanhai mountain is surrounding the Nanhai City like an arc, from west to south. There aren''t many ces where the monsters can invade without great resistance.''


    '' Not to mention, from what I have seen, this monster strike isn''t just some mindless invasion.''


    '' If the monsters going to attack the city and target, especially the Cai Family, they have to pick weak points of the Nanhai City, where attacking would be easy and defending would be hard.''


    As the carriage moved, Jia Hao looked at the casefiles of the yamen.


    " Hmm, Killing the victims and drinking their blood? Leaving their corpse in a dried state?"


    " Indeed, Not to mention, their souls are also sucked dry." The Third Captain replied.


    " How did you know their soul is also devoured?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " There are various criminal investigation reports which can be used to track the soul of a person." The Third Captain smiled.


    " There is a Soul Tracing Talisman which is supplied by the Imperial Family and other taoists sects which helps us to detect a person''s soul."


    " It''s effective when we are tracking some evil being. It shows us thest location of the culprit."


    " Then, Can''t you justmunicate with the soul to guess who is the murderer?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but retort.


    " Investigator Jia, It sounds easy to do, but the reality is different." The Third Captain smiled wryly.


    " As I said, the Soul Tracing Talisman can only check if a person has his soul and seven spirits inside him or not. And if not, it can trace the ce of itsst possible location within a hundred li of area."


    " But directlymunicating the spirit would be extremely hard. Unless an Innate Realm Taoist Priest uses his power, it''s impossible to do that."


    " Not to mention, it''s¡­very disrespectful to detain a person''s soul as it may deviate its path to theherworld. So, we don''t do that."


    '' Hmph, What''s so bad about getting lost in the way of theherworld? Look at me, I suffered so much because of them.''


    Jia Hao couldn''t help but mumble inwardly when he heard that. However, he suddenly remembered a word from the Granma Meng.


    '' If you can''t trust the living people, why do you think you can trust ghosts?''


    '' Ghosts aren''t pure souls without seven emotions and six desires. Even after death, there are chances they will lie, or do something which will benefit them.''


    '' So, it''s my job to erase their emotions so they can go under the judgment of theherworld.''


    Jia Hao sighed as he looked outside of the carriage. Soon enough, they arrived at arge vige.


    " Look! It''s the soldier from the Yamen!"


    " Hurry up and get back!"


    " Don''t try to do anything before them."


    " Hoho, It looks like the reputation of yamen isn''t that good." Jia Hao couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " It''s not weird. We have to remain strict to serve justice. And to do that, we may have to take some hard steps." The Third Captain replied.


    " Sure, It''s all because of righteousness and not the fear and extortion from the public." Jia Hao mocked him.


    The Third Captain gave a wry smile as he didn''t try to correct Jia Hao. After all, even he knows how much corruption is there inside the yamen.


    As they got off from the carriage, the vige head came rushing.


    " Greetings, Esteemed officers. I have been waiting for you."


    " Alright, Please show us the way. Did you preserve the dead body?"


    " Yes, The bodies have been kept isted." The vige head nodded. " Please follow me."


    As Jia Hao and the officers followed the vige leader, he took them to a small hut at the end of the vige.


    Entering the house, Jia Hao could smell the faint smell of rot. However, it was pretty much faint.


    " The victim diedst night, like the previous victim." The vige leader replied.


    When Jia Hao looked at the corpse, he realized why the odor was faint.


    The body was dried like a mummy, with it''s skins are creased. There was no trace of blood inside the body.


    " Any bite mark? Something like puncturing of the canine teeth of a person?"


    " Huh? No, Young Lord." The vige lord shook his head.


    " There are no such bite marks. But it was clear that the person was attacked by something like a wild beast. You can see the scratch mark across his body."


    " The victim''s name is Zhang Ba, a local woodcutter. He goes to the forest every day to cut wood. Butst evening, his fellow woodcutter didn''t notice himing back."


    " When he went to search for Zhang Ba, he found this dead body." The Third Captain replied.


    " Arge chunk of flesh is missing at the right side of the waist. Other than that, there are only bloody scratch marks on the body."


    '' Hmm, I thought it might be a vampire since it''s devouring the blood. But I guess it''s some other demon.'' Jia Hao muttered inwardly.


    His Sage''s Divine Eyes shone as he looked at the corpse.


    [ Dried corpse: Woodcutter Zhang Ba''s dead body,pletely dried from blood and vitality. A chunk of flesh and liver is missing, eaten by a Dark Bog Hound]


    '' Dark Bog Hound?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but ponder.


    "Does anyone know something called Dark Bog Hound?"


    " What? Dark Bog Hound?" The Third Captain was stunned.


    " They are the monster dogs who reside in the Twisted Dark Forest. Their attack power isn''t high. But the thing that makes them strange and scary is that¡­they are undead!"


    " You need to break their undead crystals to kill them. Not to mention, they stay with a pack. So, even an Innate realm Master can be overwhelmed."


    " But they live deep in the Twisted Dark Forest. How can one appear here?" A yamen officer asked.


    " Of course¡­They can¡­"


    Jia Hao thought inwardly as he put the pieces of a puzzle together.


    If the monsters are going to invade the Nanhai City, it''s possible that they have already crawled out from the Twisted Dark Forest and appeared at the edge of the Nanhai Mountain.


    " If it''s done by a Dark Bog Hound, then the corpse should contain some dark and rotten qi. But how are we going to test it? We don''t have any holy or taoist equipment." Third Captain sighed.


    " Holy energy?" Jia Hao thought for a moment. " Can buddhist energy can be applied?"


    " Huh? Buddhist energy? Of course!" The Third Captain nodded.


    " The buddhist monks are the bane of the evil beings. But, Right now, We don''t have any buddhist items¡­"


    Suddenly, Jia Hao knelt before the corpse and started to circte his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art. Suddenly, his palm shone with a faint golden radiance.


    *SSSSHHHHH*


    The corpse suddenly moved, making the yamen officers jump back.


    " Ahhh!"


    " Ghost! It''s a ghost!"


    "No! Wait a minute! Look at that!"


    The Third Captain''s eyes turned wide when he saw a cloud of ck smokeing out from the body. Suddenly, the entire room filled with a strange rotting odor, as if they were standing near some rotten swamp.


    " Ugh! What''s this smell!"


    " Dark and rotten qi?"


    " Dispel!"


    Jia Hao intensified his buddhist energy as the Yang energy erupted from his palm. The cloud of dark smoke sizzled as it vanished. Everyone took a breath of air as they looked at Jia Hao with amazement.


    " Investigator Jia, What was that?"


    " Are you a buddhist cultivator?"


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " Hmph! I just used a treasure. What kind of buddhist cultivator behaves like me?"


    " Eh, That''s true though."


    But then, the Third Captain''s expression turned serious. " I see, So a Dark Bog Hound is behind this, huh?"


    " But It looks like it''s only a single hound. Else the corpse would not have remained intact."


    " Therefore, It looks like we can handle it."


    " But captain, How are we going to know when the monster is going to attack again?" A yamen officer asked.


    " Hmm, That''s right. We can''t stay here for longer. We have other works in the Nanhai City too."


    " Since the monster is going to attack people¡­I think we have a chance to capture him."


    " Vige Leader, summon all the vigers. Especially those who are healthy and young, both males and females."


    " Huh? Alright!"


    The vige leader nodded as he turned around and left hurriedly.


    Not long after, Jia Hao stood before the vigers, looking at them with a serious gaze.


    '' If someone among them is going to die¡­Then their death must be their recent future points. I just need to find that one.''


    Panel after panel shed before Jia Hao''s eyes, making his eyes sting. However, he still persisted, looking at the information of each viger.


    Suddenly, his eyes turned wide as he noticed a particr recent future point.


    '' No way!''

 Chapter 214: Tracking Back To The Master

    Jia Hao''s expression turned dark when he saw therge amount of Recent Future Points. If he were to summarize, it would be like this¡­


    [ Recent Future Point: Three dayster, the vige people will die from the attack of undead beings and dark monsters]


    '' No wonder, No wonder Cai Fmaily''s doom was so certain!'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but get shocked.


    If there was a normal horde of dark monsters, Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry and food soldiers could easily wipe them off. However, undead are different.


    '' As their names implied, killing them is very hard¡­if not impossible. They don''t feel pain or fear. They can march forward even after losing their limbs.''


    '' The only way to kill them is the use of holy and righteous energy, along with destroying their undying core inside them.''


    '' An undead army attack is simply unheard of in the Great Yan Kingdom. So, it''s natural that the Nanhai City would never expect it.''


    '' Not to mention, there would be other dark monsters along with them.''


    " What happened, Investigator Jia? You look worried."


    " I am fine¡­I am fine¡­" Jia Hao mumbled as he took a deep breath.


    " Everyone, I know all of you are scared of the recent events. However, I wish to convey that we shall soon solve the problem." Jia Hao used his Dominance as his voice became imposing.


    " The killings are the doing of a dark monster. However, be assured, we shall hunt it down and kill it."


    " So, please relieve your worries as we are going to take from here."


    The vigers were shocked when they heard it was the doing of a dark monster. But Jia Hao''s words had a strange kind of charm and dominance, making them obey his everymand.


    " See? The Young Lord has spoken!"


    " They will catch the monster soon!"


    " The yamen is going to make a move!"


    " This Captain, send a messenger and ask Old Yang toe here with a few guards." Jia Hao looked at the Third Captain.


    " Young Lord, I believe we can take down a single Dark Bog Hound." The Third Captain looked at Jia Hao. " Then, Why should we¡­"


    " Third Captain, I believe in your capabilities. However, It''s best that we have a backup n." Jia Hao replied.


    " Also, We have another thing to do, to bait out the monster."


    " Bait out the monster?" The Third Captain was surprised. " How are we going to do it?"


    " Prepare some wheat straws, some chickens, and some clothes."


    The Third Captain felt a bit strange when he heard Jia Hao''s demands. But he simply nodded as he asked his subordinates to gather the ingredients.


    Soon enough, they brought everything Jia Hao asked for. Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction.


    " Prepare a scarecrow with those straws. Kill the chicken and stuff them inside. Make the straws soaked with chicken blood."


    " Investigator Jia, You want to attract the beast with chicken blood?" The Third Captain frowned.


    " But why would a monster get lured by chicken blood when it''s attracted to human blood."


    "Haha, Don''t worry." Jia Haoughed as he looked at him. " I know how to make chicken blood even more appetizing than human blood."


    Among the vigers whose Recent Future Points Jia Hao saw, he found the viger who was going to get attacked tonight.


    He was nning to n the blood soaked scarecrow in the ce of the victim, making the Dark Hound Bog get attracted to it.


    After preparing the scarecrow, Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction, The blood dripping from the scarecrow wearing bloody clothing gave off an eerie and horrific sight.


    However, it certainly looked like a human from afar.


    With a snap of his fingers, Jia Hao used the desire qi of gluttony, slowly making it seep into the scarecrow.


    Petals after petals of desire qi fell from his tree of desire. After a while, Jia Hao took a deep breath and patted his palms.


    " It''s done. Now, we are going to nt it in Fang Bo''s house, Ask him to stay at his neighbor''s house."


    " This¡­"


    Not only the Third Captain, but the other officers of the yamen felt like licking their lips when they looked at the bloody scarecrow.


    A moment ago, everyone was looking at it with disgust and strangeness. However, right now, it looks like the best delicacy in the world, making everyone drool.


    '' Fuck, What''s happening? Why do I want to eat that?''


    '' Nothing has changed but¡­I really want to suck off that blood.''


    " Snap out! Don''t fall into its enchantment!"


    Jia Hao''s words were like a bucket of cold water pouring on them. The Third Captain shuddered as he came back to his senses.


    " I¡­ I am sorry, Investigator Jia. I lost myposure."


    " But, You enchantment¡­It''s so strong!"


    " Indeed, I am almost about to eat it."


    " What do you think I prepared a bait, huh? Chicken blood can''t attract that dog, but this can." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Anyway, Just do as I saw. It won''t be long before the hound attacks."


    In primitive times, people of the vige mostly go to sleep after a few hours of sunset. After all, there wasn''t much entertainment like big cities nor any modern equipment.


    Not to mention, burning oilmps reduces the oil. So, most vigers sleep early and get up before dawn.


    After the sun sat, a few vigers burned themps around their houses. From the dark, it looked beautiful yet¡­haunting.


    Fang Bo was stunned when the yamen officers contacted him. But when he heard his life might be in danger, he hurriedly packed his thing and left.


    " Fang Bo is a fisherman and he is a healthy man. Not to mention, his home is closer to the viger border." Jia Hao mumbled.


    " ce the scarecrow on the bed and get out. We shall watch everything from the distance."


    Two hours after theplete darkness, Jia Hao''s ears perked up some strange sounds from the inside of the house.


    His Sage''s Divine Eyes shone as he saw a faint figure in the darkness from the far. After all, his eyes can easily see things from a great distance, even inside the darkness.


    With a will, the status window shed before his eyes.


    [Dark Bog Hound (Enved): An undead beast with no emotions, only a base instinct controlled by a spiritual master]


    [ Recent Future Point: An hourter, it would return to its master to deliver collected blood and spiritual energy]


    '' Fuck! As I thought! Someone is using the hound as a ve! And it turned out to be true!'' Jia Hao gritted his teeth.


    Thankfully, Jia Hao also poured a bit of his spiritual qi inside the scarecrow, making it more believable.


    " Investigator Jia! Look! I think there is some movement!" The Third Captain whispered.


    " The hound is here." Jia Hao got up. " Injure the hound, but don''t catch it. Let it get away."


    " You¡­You want to tail it?" The Third Captain''s eyes shone as he hurriedly nodded.


    " Everyone! Let''s go!"


    As they opened the door, they saw arge ck hound trying to drag the scarecrow away.


    Its body wasrge, but it looked very skinny, like a sack of skin on bones. Not to mention, one could see the rotten chunks of wounds and exposed ck bones, making it look like a zombie dog.


    The eyes of the Dark Bog Hound shone with malice as it barked at the yamen officers.


    " Monster! You dare to harm themoners?" The Third Captain charged out as he unsheathed his sword.


    His sword shone with a faint light as he shed out towards the hound. The hound retracted its step as it turned around and escaped.


    " Damn it! Don''t let it go!"


    " Chase after it!"


    The Third Captain was a Profound Awakening Realm expert. Along with the officers of yamen, he gave a chase.


    However, the hound was very fast as it entered the forest. It was as if it knew all the forest very well, making it escape faster among the woods.


    " Damn it!"


    " We can''t see anything in darkness!"


    " What are we going to do?"


    As they paused, they only heard a faint voice.


    " Leave it to me."


    All they felt was a gush of wind as if someone passed by them with great speed. The Third Captain couldn''t help but sigh with amazement.


    " Investigator Jia is really amazing."


    Using the Fading Moon Steps, Jia Hao moved like a ghost in the woods. His internal energy burned and his speed increased. But what was amazing was that there was no sound of his footsteps.


    He reduced his speed as he stealthily chased after the hound. After all, only after letting it feel rxed, the hound will lead Jia Hao to its master.


    After following an intricate path, Jia Hao saw the hound entering a cave.


    Jia Hao was going to enter the gave, but he paused his steps. He suddenly nced at a few moss covered stones around the entrance of the cave.


    If it was any normal person, he wouldn''t have noticed them, But Jia Hao found them strange¡­as if those rocks were ced as a pattern.


    [ Concealment Formation gs: The gs creating an array formation that hides the things inside from outside viewers. Unauthorized intrusion can create an rm]


    '' Ah, What a bastard.''


    Jia Hao gave onest nce as he marked the ce in his heart. Then he turned around and left.


    After all, he doesn''t have to take any risks.

 Chapter 215: Evil Practitioners

    The hound rushed inside the dark cave. However, when it stepped inside, the view inside the cave changed instantly.


    It wasn''t a dark and narrow cave. The interior was broad, lit up with luminous torches. At the center of the cave, a man sat with closed eyes.


    Around him, the ground was addorned with a bloody pentagram, with a human skull at the each node of the pentagram.


    The person''s eyes opened as it saw the hound returning.


    " What? You almost got caught by those yamen bastards?"


    The person and the hound share a soul bond. Therefore, he could feel the experiences of the hound.


    " Those bastards, they came here so fast. Not to mention, they managed to see you?"


    " Damned mutt! You almost ruined my n!"


    The person snarled as he threw a stone at the hound. The Dark Bog Hound whimpered as the stone smashed on its face. However, it took the hit head on, making it tumble a few steps back.


    " So? You managed to get some blood and spiritual energy?"


    The person walked towards the hound and snatched a small pearl from its neck. When he looked at it, he saw it was empty.


    " Wh-What the hell? You killed a person yet, you didn''t have any blood and spiritual energy?"


    The person clenched his fist as his eyes turned red from anger.


    " Fuck! What a stupid fucking dog!"


    " But, This should be impossible¡­ No, Those bastards¡­They baited my hound."


    The person rested his palm on the hound''s head, making it flinch from pain. However, the person didn''t care as he saw through the hound''s memories.


    " How strange. To think the yamen guards would make a scarecrow which can attract the Dark Bog Hound. Even if it''s smeared with human blood, the hound would rather attack living people than dead ones."


    " What kind of blood did they use?"


    The person sighed as he stomped his feet.


    " Fuck! To think there would be a dy in our n. If we got a bit more sacrifices, then the Blood Controlling Staff would have beenpleted."


    " I guess I have already collected enough human sacrifices. I shouldn''t make the yamen guards suspicious. I have collected enough spiritual qi anyway."


    "Let me hunt some demonic beasts to gain blood qi."


    The person was sure that no one chased after his hound. If someone would have entered the cave, he would have known immediately.


    " Only a few days¡­ And then, we shall start the carnage in the Nanhai City."


    " And Cai Family¡­Hehe, They are going to be our food."


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao stayed in the vige with a serious expression.Not long after, Old Yang arrived with a few Cai Family guards.


    " What happened, Young Lord? I heard some dark monster is wreaking havoc?"


    " Old Yang, Let me return to the mansion first. We shall discusster." Jia Hao spoke.


    " Also, Deploy the guards here. Tell them to keep the vigers safe and secure."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    Old Yang didn''t ask anything as he led Jia Hao back to the carriage.


    Cai Yunhai was surprised when Jia Hao requested to meet him.


    " Heh, I hope you aren''t here toin about my decision?" He chuckled when he saw a serious expression from Jia Hao.


    " I have solved the case of the vige. It was a dark monster naked Dark Bog Hound." Jia Hao replied.


    " What? So fast?"


    Cai Yunhai almost jumped from his seat when he heard that. " Not to mention, a dark monster? Not a demonic beast?"


    " It was a dark monster controlled by someone. It''s killing the young and healthy people and stealing their blood and spiritual qi."


    " Stealing blood and spiritual qi?" Cai Yunhai''s gaze turned serious as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Evil and heretical cultivators? It sounds like something those scums would do."Cai Yunhai gnashed his teeth with anger.


    " Evil practitioners?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice. " You mean, those who kill humans and use unorthodox methods to cultivate the martial path?"


    " You are right." Cai Yunhai sighed. " Although the method is cruel, the effects are definitely faster than orthodox martial arts."


    " A martial artist might cultivate for one year with minor improvement. But an evil practitioner can cultivate for a single month and his strength would increase explosively."


    " Even among the same realm, those heretics might be more powerful than normal martial artists masters."


    " Of course, the Evil path has its own downside. Most of the time, with the sudden increase of strength, the practitioner forgets to polish his energy and solidify his foundation."


    " That makes the future progress slower and slower, making the practitioner have a hard time ascending to the next stage."


    " Not to mention, those heretics are more prone to fall into qi deviation or demonic impulses, making them turn into dangerous beings without any conscience."


    Jia Hao thought for a moment and nodded. " I believe it''s one of those heretics. I already found itsir."


    " But I didn''t go inside because it set up a magic formation around the cave. If I had entered inside, he would have gotten the rm."


    Cai Yunhai nodded. " You did the right thing. It''s unwise to walk into an unknown trap without thinking twice."


    " Anyway, Since you have gotten the location of his hideout, We shall send someone to kill him."


    " Yes, Father in Law." Jia Hao nodded. But his eyes fell on a golden scroll before Cai Yunhai.


    " That¡­That looks like an imperial edict?" Jia Hao asked in a probing voice.


    " Haah, Don''t even ask me about that." Cai Yunhai sighed. " It''s an edict from Prince Li Yuan. He said he needs to borrow our remaining Silver Lightning Cavalry for an eastern expedition."


    " It would be a small scale skimmerish and the army shall return in one month."


    " Aspensation, he promised us three hundred thousand taels of gold andplete amodation of the army."


    Jia Hao''s face turned ashen when he listened to Cai Yunhai. He clenched his fist as he realized what Li Yuan was up to.


    '' It was all that bastard''s doing! He is the one behind everything!''


    Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, Jia Hao finally managed to grasp theplete scheme behind the destruction of the Cai Family.


    First, the Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry already had been reduced by half when he came here.


    Now, after taking over the businesses of the Cai Family, Cai Family''s financial condition would have worsened.


    And now, the three hundred thousand taels of gold was something the Cai Family would definitely agree to.


    '' Cai Yunhai might be thinking that lending his army for a month without any causality is a good deal. But, he didn''t know that a dark beast tide wasing towards the Nanhai City.''


    '' After taking away the Silver Lightning Cavalry, only the foot soldiers would have remained. And with them and those backstabbing bastards of Nanhai City, it would be a matter of time till the dark monsters would have razed the Cai Family.''


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao tried to calm his heart as he discovered the grand n behind the dark monster tide.


    '' To think Li Yuan and the evil heretics are colluding together. But it sounds right.''


    The heretics would get sufficient sacrifices from the Nanhai City and Li Yuan would getplete control over the Nanhai City and Silver Lightning Cavalry.


    And even if the Silver Lightning Cavalry had gotten the news, by the time of their return, the Cai Family would have already died.


    " Father in Law, What do you think? You want to agree?" Jia Hao asked in a light voice.


    " Well, If it was a few weeks ago, I would have agreed." Cai Yunhai spoke.


    " But now, I need your opinion. I am sure something is fishy here."


    " What do you think, Son in Law? Should I agree?"


    " Hehe, Of course." Jia Hao spoke with a light smile.


    " But, Father in Law, it takes some time to get the letter, yes? And some more time to gather the army. Then another few days to group then, train them a bit and send them to expedition¡­"


    " Hmm, you want me to dy the letter?" Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao. " You know, I canpletely refuse it."


    " That would be good. But we still need a pretense to keep." Jia Hao exined.


    " Not to mention, There is going to be a big thing happening in a few days."


    " What do you mean by that?" Cai Yunhai asked in surprise.


    " A tidal attack of dark monsters."


    " WHAT?"


    Cai Yunhai''s face became rmed as he stood up. " Jia Hao, Do you understand what you are saying?"


    " Father inw, I have my own sources of information." Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice.


    " However, I have linked many clue and the recent murder cases in the vige. That''sthe ce where the dark monsters going to attack."


    " Then the withdrawal of the Silver Lightning Cavalry¡­They want to weaken us?" Cai Yunhai''s expression turned dark.


    " Motherfuckers! Do they think monster tides are a joke?"


    " Calm down, Father in Law." Jia Hao replied with a calm voice.


    " Rather than acting recklessly, we should make a rational decision."


    "Thankfully, I already have a n."


    Jia Hao rubbed his palm as he smiled.


    " How about answering our enemies properly?"


    .


    ..


    .


    .


    Sorry for not being able to post chapter yesterday. My leg got sprained and I felt like dying.

 Chapter 216: Assembling Army

    The next day, the Nanhai City was stunned. They saw the silver armored cavalry silently marching through the road.


    " It''s¡­It''s the Silver Lightning Cavalry!"


    " My goodness! What are they doing here?"


    " I wonder if something is about to happen."


    Not long after, news spread across the city. The Cai Family was sending the Silver Lightning Cavalry to the eastern frontier. However, before the departure, the army is going for a warm up training session.


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he saw the Silver Lightning Cavalry outside of Nanhai City. The silver armor of the soldiers shone brightly under the sunlight.


    The horses stood straight without any mopvements. They were bigger and more powerful than ordinary wild horses. They are a superior breed of horse with a trace of ancient demonic bloodline.


    Even with a march of thousand li, the horse would carry any weight without exhaustion.


    " This is the five thousandelite troop of Silver Lightning Cavalry." Old Yang stood beside Jia Hao.


    " It would have looked better if the remaining half was here."


    " It''s alright. We have to use what we have at this moment." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Now, Let''s see the ground troop."


    Old Yang nodded as he gave a signal. Suddenly, the Silver Lightning Cavalry stepped back as the ground troops assembled.


    Jia Hao could see the clumsiness of the ground troop. They work normally as workers or farmers during the normal time.


    However, When the Cai Family calls, they instantly be soldiers, fighting the enemy to death.


    '' But, it''s true that the power of the ground troop isn''t much. However, they are good at being the meat shields.''


    '' Hmm, Let''s not think too pragmatically. They are also humans and they also should live.'' Jia Hao sighed inwardly.


    " Attention!" Old Yang shouted like a veteran armymander.


    " Who are you?"


    " Cai Family''s Ground Army!"


    " What''s your goal?"


    " Serving the Cai Family and protecting the Great Yan Kingdom!"


    " If the enemyes, What should we do?"


    " y the enemy!"


    " y the enemy!"


    " y the enemy!"


    Their voice echoed like a booming thunder, making everyone''s blood boil.


    " Prepare your weapon! Showcase the basic moves!"


    " Shield bearers! Come forward! Archers, go back!"


    " What do you think? They would be enough to defend against the dark monster tide?"


    Jia Hao turned his head towards Cai Yunhai as he looked at his serious face.


    " Does Father-inw think that we are throwing away the lives of the ground troops?"


    Cai Yunhai exhaled a deep breath as he looked at the sky.


    " Everyone dies one day. Soldiers are those who already agreed to their fate of serving their master and dying for it."


    " There are no battles without casualties. But even if that''s true, even if they are destined to die on the battlefield¡­We must do everything to decrease the death, even if we can''t stop itpletely."


    " I thought Father inw is a cold general. But you do care about your soldiers." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Well, I believe as long as youmand the army, we have a chance to win the battle."


    "I know you want to inform the City Lord and the empire. But, don''t you think your enemies would dy the help? They won''t let go of this chance of finishing the Cai Family."


    Cai Yunhai sighed as he clenched his fist. " I swear, After this monster tide, I will go to the capital for an answer."


    Jia Hao fell silent as he assessed the situation. Not long after, craters after craters arrived before the ground troop. Cai Yunhai was stunned when he saw the brand new dark chainmail and daggers before them.


    The dark gleam of the products made everyone feel agitated, as if they were some precious treasures.


    " These are your new equipment! Take off your old chainmail and get the new ones."


    " Jia Hao, Are those the new chainmail of our smithies" Cai Yunhai asked in a surprised voice.


    " Father inw is half right." Jia Hao chuckled. " These are the old new chainmail. But they are draped with anotheryer of new material."


    " In that way, we managed to mass produce the equipment within the week."


    Even using the st furnace, crafting so much equipment at once would be impossible for the Cai Family''s smithies.


    Therefore, Jia Hao simply asked them to only craft perfect equipment for squadmanders and group leaders.


    And for others, Jia Hao asked the cksmiths to simply add an extrayer of coating of dark carbon steel on the old chainmail. It would increase their durability quite a lot, and the sharpness of the weapons would also increase.


    '' Only when the top of the army remains safe, they would be able tomand the rest of the soldiers.''


    The foot soldiers were ecstatic when they received the new equipment. Although they were a bit heavy, they could feel the effectiveness of the chainmail and weapons.


    " Wow, I never thought I would receive such treasures."


    " To think Cai Family would spend for us."


    " Long live Cai Family! Long Like General Cai!"


    " The training shall go on for two days. So, everyone be prepared for the training!"


    " Yes!"


    Jia Hao looked at Old Yang and nodded. " Please train them hard. At noon, please give them the food and the energy drink from the Fragran Medicinal Store."


    " After some rest, you can resume their training."


    " Yes, Young Lord."


    " You are leaving?" Cai Yunhai saw Jia Hao turning to leave. Jia Hao shrugged.


    " I don''t think I have the mood to see some boring army exercise.I shall go back and rest."


    " Hmph, Weak." Cai Yunhai snorted. " Just a bit of heat and you are already feeling lethargic?"


    " Whatever you say, Father inw."


    Jia Hao''s skin was far too thick. He didn''t care what Cai Yunhai thought. He simply turned around and left.


    Cai Yunhai and Old Yang gave each other a wry smile as they saw him leaving.


    As Jia Hao walked away, he was strolling aimlessly in the treasure street. He was thinking of going to the Tianxiang Pavilion for lunch.


    But as he was walking, his eyes fell on a hawker.


    " For the sake of your family''s happiness, destroy any evil influence from the house!"


    " A real Evil Exorcising Talisman! Keep it with you and no evil shall approach you."


    With his Sage''s Divination Eyes, Jia Hao looked at the talisman.


    [ Evil Exorcising Talisman: Made from yellow paper and chicken blood. A better quality fake talisman]


    '' Wait, It''s simr to the talisman I got from Azure Sea World. If I see¡­I should have the temte of the treasure.''


    Jia Hao scanned through the Pot of Miracles and found the real Evil Exorcising Talisman.


    [ Evil Exorcising Talisman: A fake Evil Exorcising Talisman of better quality+ ck Dog blood mixed with cinnabar+Pure Peach Wood Paper+50 Miracle Points]


    '' Wait, If we are primarily going to face the undead army tomorrow, won''t the Evil Exorcising Talisman be effective against them?''


    " Hoho, Wee, Young Master.I can see your eyes filled with wisdom. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have noticed my true treasures."


    The hawker''s eyes turned bright as he saw Jia Hao before him.


    " So, What would you like to buy? This pure jade incense pot? Or this heavenly bronze bell¡­"


    " This Evil Exorcising Taliman, How many you have?" Jia Hao asked.


    " Hoho, Young Master got his eyes on the right thing. Let me see¡­" The hawker calcted hard for a moment before nodding.


    " A hundred taels of gold. Yes, One talisman is a hundred taels of gold. But if you purchase three, you can purchase them at 250 taels of gold."


    " Cut the crap." Jia Hao squatted before him as he threw a hundred taels of gold to the hawk.


    " Two days. In two days, prepare a thousand talismans for me and I shall give you a thousand tael of gold."


    " What do you say? Interested?"


    " This¡­"


    The hawker was stunned as he shook his head. " I am a respected runemaster. I don''t do¡­"


    " If you don''t agree, believe me, you won''t be able to step into the treasure market tomorrow.:


    " Alright, Two dayster, I shall bring you a thousand talismans." The hawker nodded without any hesitation.


    However, his back was drenched with sweat. For a moment, He felt a feral dominance around Jia Hao, making him swallow his saliva.


    '' Fuck, What kind of young man is he? He would really kill me¡­I can feel it.''


    " Very well, I shall be waiting for you then." Jia Hao turned around and left. The hawker rubbed his chest and felt his beating heart.


    '' What a weird day¡­''


    When Jia Hao returned to the house, he saw Minmin walking out tiredly.


    " Young Lord, You are back." She panted.


    " As you said, I prepared the shampoo and soaps."

 Chapter 217: WRONG CHAPTER DO NOT UNLOCK

    In God''s Space, time passed very slolwy. Jun Tianyun used various simtions as he tested his theories.


    Even with the most basic concept of immortal cultivation, Jun Tianyun felt like he was gaining something new every moment.


    '' I need to do something about the broken petal fragments of my chaotic flower. With them clogging up my dantian, I won''t be able to regain my power.''


    '' But thankfully, I have managed to tackle the issue somewhat.'' Jun Tianyun thought inwardly.


    Generally, martial artists open their dantian in the Martial Master realm. It was because one can only contain so much internal energy in their meridians. So, the dantian bes their major reservoir of internal energy.


    But since Jun Tianyun''s dantian is blocked, Jun Tianyun resorted to store his internal energy within his meridians.


    His body has been transformed by the divine energy and the dragon blood. If meridians of the ordinary peoples are like small creeks, then Jun Tianyun''s meridians are like the robust Yangtze River.


    '' Thirty six upoints in the body, called as thirty six stars. Each star contains hidden potential.''


    '' So, Along with my meridian, I can slowly unlock these stars, turning them into miniature dantians.''


    Jun Tianyun''s soul qi seeped out as several silver needles floated around him. He couldn''t help but be nostalgic as it''s been quite a long time since he had used the acupuncture technique.


    The needles swirled around him and pierced at the thirty six star points. Suddenly, the internal energy inside his body surged as they started to move in a special pattern.


    '' My body has be so powerful that unlocking thirty six star won''t make me much more powerful.''


    '' However, by stimting them, I am widening their capacity. Only after that, I can store my internal energy there.''


    Jun Tianyun took a deep breath as he felt the surge of internal energy in his body. After a while, he opened his eyes, looking at Su Qingyao.


    " What is it?"


    " I am just seeing that you are actually making some improvements." Su Qingyao smiled.


    " I hope you go forward in this path. The answer you are looking for is pretty near. Just behind a thin veil of fog."


    " Hmph, You only know how to speak in riddles." Jun Tianytun snorted.


    " Can''t you really teach me some forbidden grade immortal spells?"


    " How are you going to cast them without learning immortal cultivation?" Su Qingyao snorted lightly.


    " Ugh, Then help me?" Jun Tianyun looked at her. " Come on, you can''t just stay in God''s Space and bezy."


    " Don''t worry, Dear." Su Qingyao chuckled. " I believe in you, You shall soon find your path."


    " You!!"


    Jun Tianyun clenched his fist as he was about to shout. But suddenly, everything paused as a golden panel appeared before him.


    [ Your daughter is about to leave. Won''t you meet her?]


    Jun Tianyun gasped as he realized it was the message from the World Law.


    " But, I thought I should stay away from her. What if I inflict my misfortune on her?"


    [ Don''t worry! I will cover it]


    "...Thank you. Thank you so much."


    Jun Tianyun took a deep breath as he adjusted his emotions. But inside, he could feel the heart wrenching pain.


    After all, which father would let go of her daughter, who is so young and naive?


    '' She was supposed to y with her friends¡­go to school, tease other people.''


    '' Sakura five¡­Saito, Ousei Academy¡­The life of a rich and privileged girl¡­I took everything from away.''


    '' Only if I was a bit more powerful¡­Only if I was a bit faster¡­''


    " Papa¡­"


    " Yes, Dear?"


    Jun Tianyun raised his head and saw Sayu standing before him. With a smile, Jun Tianyun waved his hands, changing the interior of God''s Space.


    The sun rose as the palm trees swayed. The gentle ocean waves crashed on the sandy shore.


    " Wow, You can change the reality like that?"


    Sayu walked towards Jun Tianyun as she smiled brightly. Tuba san stayed behind, observingJun Tianyun and Sayu.


    " Papa, You look so¡­Different?"


    " Why?" Jun Tianyun knelt on a knee before Sayu as he smiled.


    " No beard, smooth skin¡­You look so young!" Sayu gasped as she pouted. " Don''t tell me you disguised yourself before me?"


    " Hehe, Sorry dear. But I had to match my age ording to your mom. Because time passed here rather slowly than in your world." Jun Tianyun held Sayu''s palm as he spoke.


    Rubbing her soft palm, Jun Tianyun took it and kissed it. " My darling¡­ Papa is so sorry."


    " No, Papa doesn''t need to say sorry." Sayu shook her head. " Papa did what he should do. You saved me, Mom, and everyone in the town."


    " But I pushed you into the danger." Jun Tianyun''s tone quivered. " I wanted you to grow normally, like a lively young girl."


    " Although I am going far, I shalle back early." Sayu soothed Jun Tianyun.


    " Miss Tuba said, once I can properly control the divine spark inside me, I can return. Till then, I have to stay in the divine realm."


    " Sayu¡­ Can you do it?" Jun Tianyun asked in a cautious voice. The pain behind his voice waspletely bare.


    " I am alright, Papa. You don''t need to worry." Sayu''s voice trembled as she hugged Jun Tianyun.


    " Just¡­Take care of mum, OK?"


    " Sayu¡­"


    " Wahhhhhhh!"


    Jun Tianyun''s eyes closed as he gritted his teeth. Sayu finally broke down and cried while holding Jun Tianyun.


    Tears jerked in Jun Tianyun''s eyes, but he calmed his heart.


    '' No, I can''t show my tears here. Else, Sayu won''t be able to leave.''


    " Hey, My little princess." Jun Tianyun held Sayu and looked into her eyes.


    " Do you know, there are both viins and heroes in this world." Jun Tianyun smiled.


    " But your papa didn''t choose any of those two roles. Your papa chose the role where he gets the praise of a hero and the pleasure of a viin."


    " Sayu, Your fate is in your hands. Clear your conscience, gain power, and believe me¡­No one would be able to stop you."


    " So, Sayu, Promise me." Jun Tianyun held her hands. " Be safe till papaes to fetch you, ok?"


    " Juste fast, ok?" Sayu replied with a teary gaze. " We¡­We met after so many years¡­Yet we are parting again."


    " This is just¡­a small parting, ok? Think of this as a summer camp." Jun Tianyun bit his lips as his smile didn''t falter.


    " And when this summer camp ends, papa and mommy will be there, weing you back."


    " Promise?"


    " Promise."


    " Time is running out." Tuba san walked forward as she spoke.


    " Don''t worry, I have given Saki a connection mirror. She can talk with Sayu daily."


    " But as it''s a time dtion, Sayu will get the message once a few months."


    " As long as Saki is alright, I am good." Jun Tianyun nodded as he let go of Sayu.


    " Xiao Yue, Can you apany Sayu?" Jun Tianyun suddenly asked.


    " As you wish, Master."


    " Whoaa? A fox?"


    Sayu''s eyes sparkled as she saw a small snowy fox before her.


    " Xiao Yue, Please keep her safe." Jun Tianyun urged.


    " Don''t worry, Master." Xiao Yue smiled. " Even if I die, I will protect young miss."


    " Thank you, Xiao Yue."


    Holding Xiao Yue, Sayu turned around to leave. Before leaving, she turned around and saw Jun Tianyun was still gazing at her.


    Jun Tianyun nodded at her as a pir of light engulfed Sayu and Tuba san.


    A momentter, they were gone.


    " You can¡­You can cry."


    Su Qingyao spoke in a soothing voice as she hugged Jun Tianyun from behind.


    " No, I won''t."


    " Because men don''t cry?"


    " No, Because¡­Men use the tear as fuel to move forward."


    Jun Tianyun took a deep breath as he walked away.


    " After all, If the bridge itself breaks, how can it support other people?"

 Chapter 218: Purification Talisman

    " This is the first batch, so it looks a bit murky." Minmin showed a vat of viscous gel like liquid. Jia Hao could see some impurities floating on it.


    The second vat was more clear and looked more like a colorless shampoo.


    " If you just add a bit more emulsifier, it will be shampoo. And if you dry it out, you can make soap from it." Jia Hao nodded.


    " Ask the servants to dry flower petals and lime leaves. After you dry them, crush them and sprinkle them inside these vats. They will enhance the look and smell."


    " Besides, we can say that the fragrancees from the crushed flower, not our mysterious floral essence."


    " Haha, Young Lord, you are really a genius, huh?" Minmin couldn''t help butugh.


    " Even if some other people try to recreate our products, they wouldn''t be able to get such fragrance by normal flowers and herbs."


    " As you said, I have separated the shampoo and soap batches. The shampoo shall be ready soon. As for the soap, it will take a few days to make it dry."


    " It''s alright. Just do your best." Jia Hao smiled.


    But at that moment, Jia Hao''s eyes fell behind Minmin as he noticed Cai Yixue standing there.


    Minmin noticed Cai Yiuxe''s presence as she bowed before Jia Hao.


    " Then I shall take my leave."


    Jia Hao walked towards Cai Yixue with a smile. " What is it, Wife? Why do you look so serious?"


    " Is it true that a monster tide ising towards Nanhai City?" Cai Yixue asked in a faint voice.


    " Or is it true that everything is aimed at the Cai Family?"


    " Wife, You are worrying too much." Jia Hao chuckled. " Just wait and watch. With me here, I won''t let anything happen to the Cai Family or you."


    " That''s not the issue!" Cai Yixue raised her voice. " The issue is it''s happening! Everything¡­ Everything is happening against the Cai Family! It''s because of me! Because of me¡­everyone is suffering."


    " Wife, Are you alright?"


    Jia Hao was rmed as he held Cai Yixue''s shoulder. " You seem a bit¡­agitated?"


    " I understand the monster tide sounds dangerous, but we have already prepared everything." Jia Hao spoke in an assuring voice.


    " So, Wife, Do you trust me?"


    " I¡­"


    Cai Yixue took a few deep breaths as she calmed herself. " Alright, I¡­I trust you."


    " Then, Can I hug you?"


    " No."


    Jia Hao whimpered when he heard that. " Wife, don''t you know? Hugging will reduce your anxiety? Come on, Let your husband hug you big and tight."


    " Bah! Shameless"


    Cai Yixue''s cheek turned rosey as she pushed away Jia Hao lightly. " We are outside. What if someone sees us?"


    But a smile still sprouted on her lips, making Jia Hao relieved.


    " But still, I am amazed how did you deduce everything. How did you know where the monster tide is going toe from?"


    " Well, I am a master investigator, yes?" Jia Hao grinned. " Well, I can''t exin it clearly. But, I started joining the clues I found from my expedition in Nanhai Mountain, the murder cases in the distant vige, and the sudden imperial order to take away the Silver Lightning Cavalry."


    "That sounds¡­ reasonable." Cai Yixue muttered. " However, I feel like you are not revealing everything."


    " Well, Wife, Don''t you know?" Jia Hao gave an amused grin. " A magician never reveals his tricks."


    " Hmph, I don''t need any exnation anymore." Cai Yixue snorted.


    " But, I feel the monsters are going to be dark and undead type monsters. So, We need to stack some holy and righteous items to counter them."


    " You mean talismans and other treasures? Hmm, If you need holy items¡­There is a taoist temple at the north of the Nanhai City."


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao pondered.


    " Besides, If you want, I can also craft you some talismans." Cai Yixue spoke in a light voice.


    " Hah? Wife, do you know how to craft a talisman? Are you a spiritual master?"


    " You¡­You can say that." Cai Yixue nodded. " If you want, I can craft Purification Talismans. But I can only make only five or six talismans per day."


    " But I am sure my Purification Talismans can hurt any monster below the Innate Master Realm."


    '' Damn, I didn''t know she was a spiritual master. In fact, I never checked her with my Sage''s Divine Eyes after it evolved.''


    '' Wow, What a coincidence, eh?''


    Jia Hao wanted to use his Sage'' Divination Eyes on Cai Yixue right away. But he didn''t do it.


    '' Is it because I don''t want to know her secrets easily? The tougher the woman, the more enjoyable it is to know her.''


    '' It''s like opening a flower petal by petal, it''s the thrill of knowing the secret of your love.''


    " What is it? Why do I feel you are thinking something weird again?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao with raised eyebrows.


    " Well, I was just thinking just how many secrets my wife has." Jia Hao smiled. " I wonder if I should know it right away or take my time to know them."


    " If I say¡­Then please wait." Cai Yixue spoke in a light yet quivering voice.


    " Just wait till¡­I reveal them to you by myself."


    " And how long is that?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Soon¡­Soon enough."


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao sighed. " As you wish, Wife. But I hope you trust me and don''t hide anything¡­Especially if it''s threatening to you."


    " I understand." Cai Yixue nodded. " So, Shall I bring some ingredients for the talismans?"


    " Ah, Yes. I forgot." Jia Hao nodded hurriedly. " Please bring a lot of ck dog blood, cinnabar, and peach wood papers. I also need them."


    " You know how to craft talismans?" Cai Yixue asked in a surprised tone.


    " I don''t know¡­But I can try." Jia Hao gave an amused smile. Cai Yixue nodded as she turned to leave.


    Not long after, Jia Hao sat beside her as she started to draw the talisman.


    With his Sage''s Divine Eyes, Jia Hao could see the invisible yet robust spiritual qi of Cai Yixue flowing through the brush as she slowly drew runes on the paper.


    " As its name implied, This talisman is filled with light and holy attributes. It does a great deal of damage to dark and nefarious energy."


    " Even if it can''t kill them outright, the talisman can easily make their body vulnerable to physical attacks. Sticking it on your weapon also makes it to deal damage to them."


    It took Cai Yixue half an hour to craft one. But Jia Hao could see the sweat on her forehead.


    " Wife, It looks like you are tired." Jia Hao asked in a concerned voice.


    " Ah, right! Have this."


    A ss filled with orange liquid and a bar of chocte appeared before Cai Yixue.


    " This¡­Is this the same drink you fed to the vigers of Anzu Vige?" Cai Yixue asked in a surprised voice.


    Holding the ss, she drank the whole orange juice at once.


    " Such a tangy yet sweet vor. It''s utterly delightful." Cai Yixue sighed as she licked her lips subconsciously.


    " Haha, You look so cute when you lick your lips like that, Wife."


    " Yo-You! Don''t say things like that." Cai Yixue blushed when she saw the cheeky grin of Jia Hao.


    " But, My physical and mental fatigue has vanished. Rather than that, I am feeling more energetic. Not to mention, my spiritual qi seemed to have recovered a bit."


    " Then, Why don''t you try this?"


    " This¡­Is this the Energy Recovery Chocte?" Cai Yixue saw it. " It''s¡­It''s too precious, isn''t it? Should I eat it?"


    " Oh, of course." Jia Haoughed. " I have a lot with me. So, just enjoy."


    Cai Yixue took a small bite as she closed her eyes. She silently chewed the chocte.


    '' Mnngh, This taste, this sweetness¡­It''s heavenly. I can eat it for eternity.''


    '' Heavens, If I eat too much, I might get addicted. Huh? Wait, my spiritual qi¡­''


    " What is it? You didn''t like it?" Jia Hao asked in an anxious voice.


    " No, Not really. On the contrary, I feel my spiritual qi has been restored." Cai Yixue spoke in a surprised voice.


    " Please, give me some moments, I need to draw a few more talismans."


    Jia Hao sat beside Cai Yixue as he watched her crafting talismans. Suddenly, he felt an urge as he got up, and brought an ink brush and a paper.


    Both husband and wife were scribbling something, each of them lost in their own world.


    With her enthusiasm, Cai Yixue finished making two more Purification Talismans. But when she raised her head, she saw Jia Hao painting something on the paper.


    " You¡­What are you painting?"


    Jia Hao woke from a trance as he looked at Cai Yixue. With a smile, he showed her the painting.


    Cai Yixue was stunned as she saw a beautiful and elegantdy leaning on the table, gently writing something on a paper.


    Who could it be, other than her?


    " That''s¡­Me?"


    Cai Yixue was stunned. " That looks so¡­lifelike. I mean¡­"


    " Not beautiful as the real one."


    Cai Yixue took a deep breath and walked out of the room hurriedly. Outside, she rubbed her pink cheeks with embarrassment.


    '' Ugh, He is so¡­smooth. I almost blushed before him.''


    '' No wonder girls get wooed by him. What a smooth scoundrel.''


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao heard a faint rattling sound from deep within his Pot of Miracles.


    When he looked into it, he saw it was the Four Directional Karmic Weight. The bnce of the Yun Continent and feather was covered with illusory chains.


    '' Wait, What''s the meaning of this?!''

 Chapter 219: Getting Crushed Under Mountains

    [Ding! The Monthly Dimensional Travel Limit is near! Host has only one chance to travel within the next 30 days]


    '' What? There is a traveling limit?''


    Jia Hao was stunned when he saw that. Counting in his head, he almost traveled nine times in a single month.


    '' So, I can travel ten times in a month? That sounds¡­Hmm, Not bad.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    '' But right now, I can''t leave. Only after the monster tide problem is solved, I can go back to the Azure Sea Star.'' Jia Hao mumbled.


    Picking up the Purification Talisman, Jia Hao looked at the intricate design of the talisman.


    [ Purification Talisman: A low grade consumable magical treasure. It burst with radiance and righteous energy, dealing damage to small wandering evil spirits]


    '' Well, I have seen the entire process of the talisman crafting a few times. I wonder if I can copy that?''


    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he picked up the brush. His Sage''s Divine Eyes shed as he pressed the tip of the brush on the paper.


    '' Drawing a rune is like writing the specialnguage of heaven and earth. It''s the same as calligraphy, connecting the words with nature''sws.''


    '' To think, There is the righteous golden mantra in the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art. Chanting it will make the surrounding evil aura dissipate.''


    '' What if I chant the mantra while crafting the talisman?''


    His Sage''s Divine Eyes were like a perfect recorder. Withplete mastery of his body, Jia Hao replicated the movement made by Cai Yixue as she drew the talisman.


    His hands moved gracefully as Jia Hao poured his spiritual qi inside the brush, drawing the rune characters while imbuing his spiritual qi.


    Jia Hao''s lips trembled as he chanted the righteous golden mantra. He felt his internal energy was rotating in his body, creating a faint golden aura around him.


    With his eyes, Jia Hao could see the golden particles slowly covering his brush as he drew the Purification Talisman.


    '' Damn, my calligraphy skill reallyes in handy. I should thank that Lei guy.'' Jia Hao smiled as he made some bold strokes on the paper.


    Not long after, he finished crafting the Purification Talisman. The characters looked more captivating than Cai Yixue''s talisman. Not to mention, Jia Hao could see a faint golden aura around it.


    [ Buddhist Purification Talisman: A purification talisman imbued with buddhist energy. Its effectiveness has been enhanced, turning it into a mid grade magical treasure]


    '' Ugh, But it cost a third of my spiritual qi and a fifth of my internal energy.'' Jia Hao sighed. '' Not wonder, Crafting talisman is a tedious task.''


    '' However, since the effectiveness has increased, I should make a few more.''


    Jia Hao felt a tinge of disappointment when he realized that his energy wouldn''t be replenished with the energy drink or chocte. After all, enchanted items can be used by anyone other than himself.


    '' Tch, I have to upgrade the Pot of Miracles to the third level as soon as possible. But reaching the secondyer is already so damn difficult.''


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao returned making more talismans. But to his surprise, the next talisman was turned into a failed product.


    " Whoa, I just made a slight mistake though?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but click his tongue.


    '' Even with my abilities, I can''t take perfect talismans every time, eh? I guess it''s just a matter of practice.''


    Without getting disappointed, Jia Hao made another talisman. And thankfully, the next talisman remained perfect.


    Later in the evening, Chef Liang came to prepare a dinner for the Cai Family. Li Rou couldn''t help but praise Jia Hao.


    " Dear, What was that miraculous liquid? I never felt such lightness in my hair before."


    " Ehh? Now you say¡­You do smell well." Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but mumble.


    " Hmph, So you finally noticed?" Li Rou red at him, making Cai Yunhai fumble.


    " I mean, I was in the training ground all day. How could I notice?"


    " Mother inw, it''s our new product, called hair shampoo." Jia Hao smiled.


    " You liked it, yes? We are thinking ofmercializing it."


    " Is it not rare?" Li Rou was stunned. " You want to mass produce it?"


    " It is rare¡­For others. For us, we can make as much as we want." Jia Hao grinned. " And I believe, women from normal households to the nobility, everyone would love it. After all, Who wouldn''t like lush and light hair?"


    " Haha! True! That''s indeed true." Li Rouughed. " However, Keep the best one for us, alright? You can sell the low grade ones to others."


    " Don''t worry, Mother inw." Jia Hao winked. " Of course, I will save the best things for you and Yixue."


    " Hmm, As you have said, we have already started to train the foot soldiers." Cai Yunhai sighed. " I have to admit, I never expected the new chainmail and weapons to be so good."


    " Well, It''s good for now." Jia Hao replied. " However, in the end, they are still makeshift equipment. After the battle, we need to arm the Silver Lightning Cavalry."


    " Now we have advanced forging techniques and the Millenium Yin Iron, we can easily do that."


    Cai Yunhai nodded when he heard that. " You are right. After the battle, we shall do that."


    " I already sent a troop to the Nanhai Mountain, where that heretic cultivator was hiding. ording to their report, a few dark goblins appeared and blocked their path."


    " Not to mention, they indeed saw a suspicious person bolting out from nowhere and escaping. However, strange enough, despite their efforts, they couldn''t find the cave at all."


    '' Hmm, It''s not strange. The cave was sealed by an illusion formation. Even Profound Awakening Realm cultivators can''t see through it easily.'' Jia Hao thought for a moment before nodding.


    " As I said, Just let the men patrol around there. Sooner orter, that bastard will show himself."


    Cai Yixue took a bite of the chicken as she closed her eyes, savoring the sauces lightly.


    " I have already notified the Taoist temple to gather the ingredients. They shall stay ready."


    Jia Hao nodded. " I have also talked with Pharmacist Mo. Each squad shall carry sealed bamboo bottles of energy drinks. And each Profound Awakening Realm fighter shall carry an Eneregy Recovery Chocte."


    " With them, their battle prowess shall increase."


    " But, aren''t those things expensive?" Cai Yunhai frowned. " Providing those to so many soldiers, the cost would surpass a million taels of gold."


    " Hehe, Father inw, Didn''t you say?" Jia Hao smiled. " If we can, we should lessen the casualty in the war?"


    " Besides, a million taels of gold is nothing before the future of the Cai Family."


    " Haah¡­You truly care about us so much." Li Rou sighed. " I am really d that we got a son inw like you."


    " You are ttering me, Mother in Law." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " Now, Since that''s the case, Why not bring some good alcohol? Cai Yunhaiughed loudly.


    But no one said anything as the trio stared at him silently, making Cai Yunhai falter.


    " Wh-Why are you giving me that stare?" Cai Yunhai defended himself.


    " Before a battle, shouldn''t we have a nice and impactful drink?"


    " Father inw, If you wish, You can drink the the Spring Wine. But as for stronger wine, how about we drink that during the celebration of victory?"


    " You bet." Cai Yunhai chuckled. " That sounds like a good n. Alright, Let''s do this."


    "En, it''s alreadyte. You should go and take a rest." Li Rou looked at Cai Yixue and Jia Hao.


    Both of them nodded as they got up, heading towards their bedroom.


    " Young Lord, Young Miss, I have already prepared the bed." Minmin bowed before them.


    " En, Minmin, Regarding the business of soap and shampoo, you can consult with Mother inw. She got both brain and connections for it."


    " I understand, Young Lord." Minmin bowed.But then, she suddenly saw Jia Hao throwing a pouch at her.


    " What''s this?" Minmin caught it curiously. " When she opened it, she saw several gold bills of hundred taels of gold."


    " This¡­So much money¡­" Minmin muttered. " Young Lord, You want me to purchase something for you?"


    " No, That''s your reward. Keep it with you." Jia Hao grinned, making Minmin stunned.


    " Young Lord, It''s too much! How am I going to spend all this money?" Minmin stammered.


    " Well, That''s a big issue, isn''t it?" Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " A maid of such a prominent household doesn''t know how to spend such a minuscule money?"


    '' Go and buy whatever you want."


    " This¡­Thank you, Young Lord." Minmin bowed as she smiled. " I hope both of you have a sweet night."


    " Haah?" Cai Yixue saw Minmin blinking at her, making her blush. " Hmph, You are gifting her? Where is my gift?"


    " Ayo, My wife is finally asking me for a gift?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue.


    " I¡­I mean, I wonder if you have¡­um, something for me¡­" Cai Yixue fumbled as she looked away.


    " Hmm, I gave you a painting and chocte today. So, What else should I give?" Jia Hao muttered loudly.


    " Oh wait, I have this¡­"


    Jia Hao sped his palm and opened it, like showing a magic trick. Suddenly, a jade hairpin appeared in his palm.


    " How about this? Wife, are you happy?"


    " This¡­This looks so¡­"


    Minmin giggled when she saw Cai Yixue''s tranced expression.


    '' Hehe, Looks like Young Lord is going to be crushed under mountains today as well.''


    .

    Just Like that, two days passed.

 Chapter 220: Monster Tide Begins

    " Huh? What is it, Lu Yi?"


    " Nothing¡­I just felt something weird." Lu Yi replied as he stopped chopping wood.


    " You noticed something? The animals¡­The forest animals feel restless."


    They looked at the sky and saw birds rushing away with frantic chirps. The forest beasts also felt restless as smaller animals were running chaotically.


    " Could it be, some demonic beast is nearby?"


    " That''s absurd. There are many demonic beasts territory in the Nanhai Mountain. The beasts in those areas remains orderly."


    " Could it be something even more dangerous ising?"


    " AARRGHHHH!!"


    Lu Yi and the other wood chopper were stunned as they heard a cry of a human.


    " What is it?"


    " Wait! Look there!"


    Their heart turned chilled when heard some crunching sound, as if something muching on tough bones. As they remained on the tree tops, they could see anything happening in far.


    " Heavens! What are those monsters?"


    " Dark monsters! Those are Dark monsters!"


    " Fuck! Let''s escape!"


    But it was toote. Lu Yi just got down. But before he could yell at his partner, he saw something falling from the top of the tree with a thud.


    " Hu-Huhh?!!"


    Lu Yi''s body turned cold as he saw his partner was lying dead on the ground, with a small arrow stuck in his eye.


    *KEKEKEKEKE*


    Turning around, he saw small dark humanoid monsters slowly approaching, each holding a different weapon.


    *sWISH! SWISH!*


    Two arrow shot towards Lu Yi. However, as he was standing near a tree, Lu Yi quickly ducked, saving his life.


    '' I need to escape! I need to rm the vigers!''


    Lu Yi clenched his teeth as he sprinted towards the vige.


    " Monsters! Monsters are iing!"


    " Hurry up! Hurry and esca-"


    Lu Yi halted his steps as he saw smokesing from far. His heart beat sped up with an ominious thoughtas he rushed forward.


    " Monster! Monsters!"


    " Someone save us!"


    " Help! Someone, please help!"


    " Arrgh!"


    From far, Lu Yi saw the vige smeared with fire and blood. Small humanoid monsters rampaged everywhere as the entire vige was in chaos.


    However, the situation wasn''t as bad as he expected.


    " Gather and y the dark goblins!"


    " Get into the formations! Spearmen! Attack!"


    '' Evacuate women and children first. Gather the men to defend the rear!"


    ''The army of the Cau Family! They are the patrolling army!'' Lu Yi was ted as he rushed towards them.


    " Who is it?"


    " My lord!" Lu Yi shouted. " Monsters are iing! They areing from that side of the forest!"


    " What?" The squad leader was stunned when he heard that." You are saying more monsters areing?"


    " Arrgh!"


    Suddenly,the squad leader looked forward and heard a soldier screaming.


    " What¡­What the hell is that?"


    " Is that a person?"


    " Bastard! Does that being looks like a living thing?"


    The squad leader''s body chilled as he saw a few humanoid figures walking towards them.


    They looked exactly like humans, but their sockets were empty. Their flesh waspletely pale with a bluish hue. They walked like stiff dolls, with a terrible stenching from them.


    " Jiangshi¡­Are those Jiangshi?"


    " Fuck! You think we can defend against a Jiangshi?"


    " No, Those are not¡­powerful as a Jinagshi! Hurry up and attack!"


    The soldiers holding spears marched forward as they stabbed the walking undead.


    " RAAHHH!"


    " GRAHH!"


    The undead faltered as the spears stabbed them. But their skin was pretty tough. And even the spear pierced them, no blood cam out.


    " Damn it! They aren''t stopping even after getting tabbed!"


    " What should we do?"


    " ARRGH!"


    Suddenly, the group of undead threw themselves on a soldier. Their nails and teeth dug into his flesh, making him scream while blood sttered from his body.


    " Damn it! Aim their head! Destroy their head first!"


    *SWISH! SWISHH!*


    The squad leader moved forward as his saber shed out. He beheaded three undead at the same time.


    The heads rolled on the ground as their mouths still ttered. But their body became sluggish as they crawled on the ground.


    " Sve him!"


    " I¡­I can''t move my body¡­I¡­"


    The injured soldier quivered as he fainted. His veins turned green and his body turned stiff, making him unable to get up.


    " This is¡­This looks like poison."


    " Don''t let those creatures bite you! Their teeth look poisonous!"


    " RAAHHHH!"


    The squad leader''s expression turned grave as he saw another bunch of undead walking towards them.


    Not to mention, the dark goblins were also crawling towards them.


    " Fire the the signal arrow!"


    " Ask for reinforcement¡­"


    But before they could do it, they had already seen a signal re crackling in the sky.


    *BOOOOM!*


    " This¡­"


    The squad leader''s expression turned happy. " Heavens! It''s the re of Silver Lightning Cavalry! They areing as reinforcement!"


    " Hurry and gather near the entrance of the vige. It''s a good ce to defend against the monsters."


    " Yes! Just defend till the Silver Lightning Cavalryes!"


    However, before they could do anything, a ball of fireball descended on them.


    The squad leader''s expression changed as he raised his saber and made a cleaving motion.


    *BOOOM!!*


    me burst around the squad leader, but his arms were still charred.


    *JIE JIE JIE*


    The Squad leader''s expression turned dark as he saw a hooded figure behind the dark goblins, wearing a ne of human bones.


    " Goblin¡­Goblin Shaman!"


    " Get up your shields and retreat." The squad leader shouted loudly.


    " Archers! Get the archers and tell them to shoot down that bastard!"


    " Steady retreat! Steady retreat!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Cai Yunhai was sitting in the court as a soldier came running.


    " What? A monster tide is happening near the Nanhai Mountain?"


    " A dark monster tide with undeads?"


    The entire court of magistrates was thrown into chaos when the soldier revealed the news.


    " Our army is still in the training ground, isn''t it?" Cai Yunhai stood up.


    " Immediately, give them orders! Supply the necessary things and send them out!"


    The entire Nanhai City fell into an rmed state as the soldiers of the Cai Family marched toward the Nanhai Mountain forest.


    The city gates were upied by the City Guards. City Lord Suo''s face was serious as he heard the reports from his subordinates.


    " City Lord, Should we send the me Feather Troops?"


    The me Feather Legion is the legion under the City Lord of Nanhai City''smand. It was bestowed to him by the Imperial Family of the Great Yan Empire.


    The City Lord is the medium whomands the me Feather Legion. With each use, he has to give ountability to the imperial family.


    " No, only mobilize half of them and stand around the premise of the main city." City Lord Suo spoke in a light voice.


    " But City Lord, This is a monster tide. Should we not help the Cai Family to¡­"


    " Do they need help?" City Lord Suo red at his confidant. " My job is to protect the main city. Besides, I don''t think it''s a big tide. Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry is more than enough for it."


    " As City Lord wishes¡­"


    The old man nodded as he bowed lightly.


    '' Heh, Perhaps this is the opportunity that person was talking about?'' City Lord Suo''s lips curled.


    '' Since that''s the case, they must have nned to drag down the Cai Family entirely. Hehe, how can I not use this chance?''


    '' Let them fight the monsters. If the imperial family asks for an exnation, I will say that I was protecting the main city.''


    '' Heh, Cai Yunhai, Soon I shall take my revenge.''


    Meanwhile, In Cai Family¡­


    Cai Yixue took a deep breath as she opened the door, speaking a soft yet quivering voice.


    " It has begun."


    Jia Hao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he nodded. Sitting up, she saw Cai Yixue walking towards him, with Minmin behind her.


    " Here, Let me prepare you."


    " En, What''s this, Wife?"


    " This is Silver Feather Armor, a mid grade magical treasure." Cai Yixue lifted the armor and donned it in Jia Hao. " There are only three of them in the house."


    " This will help you in today''s battle."


    " Thank you, Wife." Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice. " Haha, Don''t worry, I shall return triumphantly."


    " After all, I am too possessive to leave you to a young widow."


    " Crow Mouth!"


    " Crow Mouth!"


    Both Minmin and Cai Yixue spoke at the same time, making Jia Hao stun.


    " Can''t you make a better joke?" Cai Yixue chided. " You just¡­Come back, without injuries, ok?"


    " Young Lord, If you don''t, then I will take all the money from your shampoo business." Minmin also joined in.


    " Hehe, Fine, Mydies." Jia Hao smiled as he ced his saber behind him.


    " Have you supplied everything to the soldiers?"


    " Yes, All the Evil Exocising Talismans and Purification Talismans were sent to the troops."


    " Very well, Then allow me to cleanse these beasts." Jia Hao took a deep breath and walked forward.


    " You have also gotten ready?" Cai Yunhai and Old Yang stood outside, before a bunch of elite guards.


    " Yes, Father in Law." Jia Hao nodded. " We should go now."


    " March forward!"


    " Let''s vanquish the evil beings once again!" Cai Yunhai shouted.


    " Vanquish Evil! Vanquish Evil!"


    Soon, his gaze fell on a group of people, who wore long robes with taoist patterns.


    " Magistrate Cai, The Fuzhuan Temple has sent us to assist you."


    Jia Hao nodded when he saw them. " Please, Our guards shall protect you. All you need to do is to kill the powerful undead."


    " Yes, Young Lord Jia."


    " Then, Let''s go."

 Chapter 221: Slaying The Monsters!

    " Haha! Although a little hasty, we finally did it!"


    " Indeed! We manage to manage to take control of the undead of the spatial realm and send them to attack Nanhai City."


    The leader wearing a ck colored hood, and holding a staff of skull.


    " Remember, We need to kill at least ten viges." The leader spoke. " Not to mention taking the corpses of the dead soldiers would also do great."


    " Hehe, As long as we have enough sacrifices, we can craft our holy treasure and open a pass in the Nanhai Mountain."


    " Even the ancient Demonic Beasts deep in the Nanhai Mountain wouldn''t be able to do anything to us."


    " I can''t wait. Soon enough, our Crescent Blood Church will expand across the Western Province."


    " So many sacrifices, we can conduct quite a lot of experiments, yes?"


    " Not only experiments." The leader smirked. " We can boost our power all the way to be rival Innate Realm masters. Heck, even the True Sage Realm would be under the realm of possibilities."


    " You are truly a genius, Lord Zhu."


    " Hehe, Just wait for the news. The vige must be already wiped out by now."


    " But beware." Lord Zhu spoke. " There are patrolling army of Cai Family here. Don''t let theme around the cave."


    " You don''t need to worry much as the cave has been concealed by my Illusion Formation. Just stay alert, ok?"


    Suddenly, the fourth member came rushing by.


    " Look, He hase. Herees the good news." Lord Zhu smirked.


    " Tell me, Have our undead wiped out the first vige? Have you gathered the corpse?"


    " Lord Zhu! It''s not good! It''s not good!"


    " What happened? Why are you looking pale?" Lord Zhu asked in a doubtful voice.


    " The Silver Lightning Cavalry¡­They have arrived and fended off the first batch of monsters!"


    " What? The Silver Lightning Cavalry is here?" Lord Zhu was stunned.


    " Didn''t you say the army has left after training for a day? Why are they here."


    " We don''t know!" The messenger spoke in a frantic voice. " They appeared just an hour after the attack began. With their help, the smaller monsters and our first batch of undead have been killed.


    " Fuck! To march an entire army, it would take half a day for them to reach here. But why do they appear so early?"


    " Could it be¡­They know about the beast tide?"


    " Impossible!" Lord Zhu shook his head. " It''s¡­impossible to know about it. Unless someone foresaw the future like a mirror, it''s impossible."


    " Hah¡­It must be a coincidence." Lord Zhu rubbed his forehead. " There are other three viges, yes? Send the monsters there."


    " And, follow me to Chi Vige. Let me see what these Silver Lightning Cavalry bastards are up to."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Charge forward! Kill those monsters!"


    " Archers! Kill the goblin shamans first! They can''t kept alive!"


    The entire Chi Vige was covered with the sound of weapons crashing and bloody fights.


    The dark monsters were all cunning demons with some intelligence. Rather than mindless attacks, they attacked with strategy.


    The dark goblins were like ten year old child. However, they used makeshift weapons like stone daggers or hammers.


    The dark goblin shamans were powerful spiritual monsters, who were capable of using basic spells like fireballs or protection shields.


    The goblins were cunning as they used the shields to protect the shaman. After all, with a living shaman, they can easily kill a hundred soldiers.


    " Hmph! Pathetic monsters! You dare to sully thend of Nanhai City!"


    " Courting Death!"


    Wielding the halberds and spears, the Silver Lightning Cavalry was like a farmer in a grass field, reaping the lives of the monsters.


    However, they still faced difficulties. Despite the crude power of the dark goblins, their numbers were huge. They swarmed around like flies, making the army difficult to march forward.


    *RAAHHH! RAAAHHHH!*


    " Captain! Look at that!"


    " Heavens! What kind of monster is that?"


    The ground trembled as a few gigantic figures walked out from the forest.


    Eight feet tall, holding giant tree trunks as maces, and face uglier than a pig, it was the undead ogre.


    *GRAAHHHH!*


    The ogre charged forward like a bull as he swung the giant trunk.


    The air boomed as the trunk swatted a dozen soldiers along with their horses at once.


    Some of them turn into mangled patties of meat instantly. Some of them got swatted far, breaking their ribs and crushing their organs.


    " Damn it! What a fucking beast!" The captain snorted. " Shield bearers! Move forward! Attack it''s legs!"


    " Captain, Our attacks aren''t working!"


    The captain''s eyes narrowed as he saw his soldiers stabbing the knees of the ogre with their spears.


    The spears prated deep, but the orge didn''t stop. Like an unstoppable machine, he stomped his feet, swatting the soldiers away.


    " Archers! Prepare the thing given to us!" The Captain smirked. "Give those bastards the taste of our prowess!"


    Lord Zhu smirked from afar when they saw the scene. " Hmph, You think you can kill our undead ogres? Such fools."


    " They don''t feel pain, they don''t feel fatigue, they are simply unstoppable killing machines¡­"


    But his expression froze when he saw two arrows shot towards the ogre.


    Unlike ordinary arrows, there was something hanging at the tips of these two arrows.


    *CRACKLE! CRACKLE!*


    *GRAHHHH!*


    The moment the arrow pierced the skin of the ogres, the papers on the tip of the arrow stered against the ogre''s skin, making them shine with a bright like.


    Like wax melting under a me, the body of the ogre melted, as a thick stench of corpse erupted from its body with ck smoke.


    " It''s working! The talisman is working!"


    " Two arrows for one ogre! I repeat, two for one!"


    " Fire! Fire the arrows!"


    Lord Zhu''s eyes almost popped out when he saw the ogre falling on the ground, turning into a dead from undead.


    Soon enough, the remaining four ogres were also taken care of.


    " Wh-What the hell? What the hell are those arrows?"


    " Holy weapons? How could they prepare holy weapons? Didn''t that person say it''s impossible to have holy weapons here?"


    " Lord Zhu, What should we do?" His subordinate asked in a quivering voice.


    " What do you mean by that?" Lord Zhu snorted. " Release all the undead. Hmph! You think they have an unlimited supply of such holy talismans?"


    " Yes! As you say, Lord Zhu!"


    " Also, Come down with me. We shall also join in the battle."


    '' These pathetic soldiers, They will never guess it.'' A smirk appeared on Lord Zhu''s face.


    '' Even if they kill the undead, the miasma from the corpses will make them lethargic.''


    '' Soon enough, their strength will wane, and the monsters will wipe them out.''


    *BOOM! BOOOM!*


    The ground trembled as the scouts of Silver Lightning Cavalry returned anxiously.


    " Captain! Another horde! Another horde of undead monsters ising!


    " Hoho, Not bad¡­ You guys handled it well."


    The soldiers turned around as they heard the boomingughter.


    " Lord Yangi! Captain Yangis here!"


    " Don''t worry! Since Captain Yang is here, We are going to win the fight!"


    Jia Hao and Old Yang arrived with their elite guards.


    Surveying the surroundings, Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction.


    " All of you have been fighting for hours. To remove the fatigue, drink the potion!"


    " Ahaha! I almost forgot about it!"


    " Indeed, Let''s drink!"


    Jia Hao''s lips curled as he saw the soldiers drinking the orange drink. Suddenly, everyone''s expression turned rosy as they drank from their bottle.


    " Holy heavens!"


    " My body! It''s feeling so energetic!"


    " Haha! Monster tide? Bring it on!"


    Jia Hao also brandished his sword as he jumped from his horse.


    " Soldiers! Charge forward!"


    The soldiers filled with renewed vigor as they got up. Jia Hao''s shout was like the roar of a lion, filling the soldiers with a rush of adrenaline.


    " Kill! Kill the monsters!"


    " Kill those bastards!"


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as he saw the a few goblin shamans gathering behind the undead ogres.


    '' Damned mages! We need to kill them first.''


    " Uncle Yang! Those goblin shamans! We need to kill them first!"


    " Don''t worry, Young Lord. See my power!"


    Old Yang grabbed a spear his internal qi burst out.


    " HYUPHHH!!!"


    *BOOOOOM*


    The spear turned into a dart of dark ray as it tore through the air, crashing where the shamans were chanting the spell.


    *PSSSH!*


    Blood sttered as the spear crushed the ground, crushing four shamans at the same time.

 Chapter 222: Dark Curses

    Cai Yunhai was supposed toe with Jia Hao and Old Yang to the Chi Vige.


    However, Although the Chi Vige was the main entrance point, there were other paths where the dark monsters would invade.


    Therefore, giving the mantle to Jia Hao and Old Ynag, Cai Yunhai led a part of his troop to help the other viges.


    '' There are three viges near the Chi Vige. These are the four weak points where the dark monster going to swarm in.''


    '' Father inw can take care of the remaining three at once. But the Chi Vige¡­This is where the main event is going to happen.'' Jia Hao sighed inwardly.


    '' Damn it, I should have picked the faraway vige. The danger in Chi Vige is rather high.''


    '' However, If I want to turn the tide of this situation, I need to stay in Chi Vige.'' Jia Hao sighed inwardly.


    " Anyway! Let''s farm some points, shall we?"


    Jia Hao pulled out his saber as he jumped forward. His Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art circted around his body, bolstering his physical and internal strength.


    " DIE!! Crimson Frenzy sh!"


    *SWISH! SWISH!*


    Jia Hao''s saber shed with a chaotic light as he shed a couple of dark goblins at once. His internal energy swirled as his saber turned into a chopping machine, killing the dark goblins before him.


    " Fuck! Fuck you bastards! You were really powerful back then, Huh? What about now? Where are you running?!"


    He remembered the day when he fell to the Yun Continent. If it wasn''t for his Holy Dragon Torch and Cai Lingzhi, he would have died at the hands of dark goblins.


    But now, since he has gained power, Jia Hao let his anger go free.


    The Crimson Frenzy de technique was perfect for unleashing the wildest power. With Jia Hao''s strength and the power of his saber, he instantly killed the dark goblins whose strength rivaled of Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes shone as he felt the ground trembling. Arching his legs, he jumped above and used the Fading Moon Steps to retreat a few feet.


    The ground trembled as rock pikes erupted from the ground. However, Jia Hao only scoffed as he stood far. With his gaze, he looked around and found the goblin shaman.


    " There you are, Son of bitch. You think I will let you live?" Jia Hao snorted as he quickly charged toward the goblin shaman.


    After all, a living mage can deal a lot of damage. Therefore, Mages needed to be killed as fast as possible.


    However, Jia Hao''s expression changed as he used the Fading Moon Steps as he vanished from his position. A giant rock fell on the ground, where he was standing previously.


    With a booming sound, a crater was formed, killing a few dark monsters along with three soldiers.


    " GRAHHH!"


    " Damn, an undead ogre is protecting the shaman, huh?" Jia Hao snorted as he shouted.


    " Archers! Take down that bastard!"


    Suddenly, two arrows covered with Evil Exorcising Talisman shot towards the ogre. However, before they could reach it, a monster wolf jumped towards the arrow, taking shots.


    "*BOOM! BOOM!*


    The goblin shaman used the chance as heunched a giant fireball toward Jia Hao. With a snort, Jia Hao dodged the attack with his agility.


    '' Dark goblins, giant wolves, goblin shamans, undead ogres, and undead men, there are so many monsters here.'' Jia Hao''s mind rushed as he looked at the grinning goblin shaman.


    '' They realized the power of the talisman, huh? They are using the wolves as the bait to take down those arrows.''


    " Attack the ogres! I will deal with these small fries." Jia Hao lunged forward as his saber shed with a dim golden light. His pure yang internal energy burst out as it covered the saber.


    To his surprise, his saber cleaved the undead open, like a hot knife slicing through the butter. After his sh, the small undead didn''t even get up.


    The corpses of the undead fell as it turned into ck goo. However, the power of the ogre was too much.


    " Don''t worry, Young Lord." Old Yang shouted. " I will see the trolls."


    Saying that Old Yang hurled his horse as he charged toward the ogre. His spear was covered with a crimson radiance, making it look like a magicalnce.


    " Great Army Thrust!"


    *BOOOM!*


    His spear pierced through the chest of the ogre, making a giant hole in its torso. The ogre snarled as it swung a giant tree trunk to attack Old Yang.


    However, his soldiers backed him up, shooting an Evil Exorcising Talisman at the ogre.


    The moment the talisman was stered on the ogre''s body, its body sizzled with ck smoke, falling on the ground like crumbling mud.


    Using the chance, Jia Hao''s body blinked as he shot toward the goblin shaman. The shaman''s expression changed as it swung its bone towards Jia Hao, trying to cast a spell.


    " Toote, bastard!"


    *SWISHH*


    With a single blow, Jia Hao beheaded the shaman. The head flew as it rolled on the ground.


    [ Ding! Host gets Basic Elemental Affinity Shard (1/5)]


    " Well, That''s something good."


    Jia Hao''s lips curled as he looked at the remaining goblin shamans. With the speed of his Fading Moon Steps, he appeared and disappeared like a ghost.


    With each swing of his saber, he took a few lives like a reaper. Suddenly, his gaze fell on where three shamans gathered together.


    " Hoho? Thank you for speeding up my exp farming." Jia Hao grinned as he used his Dominance Aura.


    The wolves trying to protect the shamans retreated instantly as if they felt the imposing aura of their king. Even the shamans were stunned for a moment, albeit lesser than the wolves,


    However, that was enough for Jia Hao to close the distance. His saber shed with a sharp ray as his internal energy overflowed.


    " Crimson Storm!"


    The area filled with the painful screeching of the shamans as Jia Hao''s saber bloomed like a crimson flower. The severed limbs pilled up as he killed the shamans instantly.


    However, as he was savoring the exp, Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed. He suddenly saw the corpses of the wolves and dark goblins were twitching around him.


    Not only his but where Old Yang was fighting, the corpses showed unusual movements.


    *PLUFF! PLUFF!*


    The corpse puffed out like someone popping balloons. Strange green smoke erupted from the corpses, spreading across the area.


    " Cough! Cough! What the hell?"


    " My eyes¡­My eyes are burning!"


    " Ugh, I am feeling weak!"


    Jia Hao covered his nose as he rushed out, reaching a ce where there was no gas.


    Using his Sage''s Divine Eyes, he looked at the corpses and strange green gas.


    [ Rotting Corpse Gas: A dark technique that rots a corpse and releases toxic gas. Direct contact can cause injuries and nausea. Prolonging effect can cause deadly gue disease and death. Can be treated with holy power]


    " Everyone! Use don''t inhale the gas!" Jia Hao shouted. " Rip the Evil Exorcising Talisman and cleanse the air around you."


    The ogres were mostly dead. So, using the Evil Exorcism Talisman to protect the soldiers is alright.


    Jia Hao saw even Old Yang was struggling. After all, he was at the center of the explosion. The miasama like gass seemed to be alive, slowly poisoning Old Yang and the elite soldiers around him.


    " Old Yang! Hang on!"


    Rushing towards him, Jia Hao pulled out a Purification Talisman and pped in Old Yang''s back, The talisman burned as it enveloped Old Yang with a gentle radiance, making his symptoms vanish.


    " Cough! Curses!" Old Yang shouted as he kicked a dark goblin away. " What was that? Some sort of dark arts?"


    " Our entire troop is getting affected." Jia Hao''s face turned grim as he shouted. " Fall back! Don''t stay near any corpses!"


    Due to the power of the Cai Family''s Silver Lightning Cavalry and the ground soldiers, the Chi Vige was piled with monster corpses.


    But still, around three hundred Cavalry and a thousand ground troops died.


    '' Damn it! This is a spell. But I don''t think goblin shamans could cast it. Who is it¡­Who it could be¡­''


    Suddenly, the ground trembled as the corpses slowly twitched again.


    " Retreat! Retreat!"


    Hearing the nose, the troops started to retreat. Old Yang''s face changed as he pointed at the corpses.


    " The corpses¡­They are standing again!"

 Chapter 223: Hunting The Spiritual Master

    '' What? How is that possible?"


    Suddenly, the corpses burned with a blood red ray as they exploded like bloody fireworks. Along with the green miasman, a crimson dust rose, turning into a shockwave.


    Jia Hao felt an iing crisis as his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts revolved, protecting his body with the buddhist aura.


    " Ughh!"


    " What evil sorcery is this?!"


    " Damn it!"


    The horses of Silver Lightning Cavalry were in chaos as they ran here and there frantically. The foot soldiers standing at the vanguard fell on their knees as they started to spasm.


    And the dark monsters before them suddenly seemed to be vigorous. Their eyes shone with a murderous glint.


    Despite being outnumbered, the monsters felt more dangerous now.


    [ Affliction Curse: Using corpses as a sacrifice, the opponent''s strength would be sapped. With more corpses, the more the radius of the spell''s effect]


    [ Blood Buff: Using corpse aura, the strength of allies would increase. However, it will have a prolonged negative effect on humans]


    '' This bitch¡­''


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed as his Sage''s Divine Eyes expanded. Suddenly, he saw a different status window far, lurking within the woods.


    '' There you are, you fucker.''


    Although using the Sage''s Divine Eyes like that consumed too much of his mental energy, he can instantly find an anomaly in the situation due to a change in status window.


    It''s the same as noticing a triangle in a sea of circles.


    Jia Hao didn''t flinch as he focused on the status window.


    [Name: Zhu Wenyu]


    [Power: Innate Realm]


    [Remark: A spiritual master with knowledge regarding dark attributes magical arts and necromancy. Always stays behind due to frail physical defense]


    [ Recent Future Point: Due to sessfully killing arge number of humans, he will sessfully refine the Blood Skull in his cave. Three dayster, he will use the skull to enhance his cultivate to the high stage of Innate Realm and enhance his strength]


    '' This bastard! He is behind everything?''


    Jia Hao''s brain spun as he quickly formted a n in his mind.


    " Everyone, pull out all the talismans. If you have some energy drinks or energy recovery chocte, crush them with the talisman and eat them."


    " Young Lord?"


    " Just do as I say!"


    Jia Hao used his Domination Aura as his voice exploded. " Soldiers! We are about topletely wipe out all these bastard monsters."


    " For this final wave, I need all of your support. I know you are not feeling well. But if we don''t stand here, these monsters will attack your loved ones."


    " Do you want that? Do you!!?"


    " No! No!"


    " Kill the monsters! Kill them all!"


    Jia Hao instantly produced some talismans and choctes and handed them to everyone. Old Yang also took a bite as he took a few deep breaths before straightening his back.


    " Hooo! I feel like bursting with energy. My internal qi has beenpletely replenished."


    " Old Yang, there is an Innate realm spiritual master hiding in the dark. He has cursed us and buffed the monsters." Jia Hao spoke in a low voice.


    " What? Where is he?" Old Yang''s eyes narrowed. " An Innate realm spiritual master¡­Hmm, It will be tricky."


    " I don''t think he knows that we are aware of his presence." Jia Hao''s lips curled.


    " Let me tell you the n. But still...keep him alive."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Zhu Wenyu''s expression was pale as he clutched his skull staff.


    " Fuck! Fuck! How could Silver Lightning Cavalry be so powerful? How they haven''t exhausted yet?"


    " There are only two thousand of them and five thousand of mortal soldiers. Yet¡­They managed to hold out for so long."


    " And those damned talismans! Since when did holy talismans be asmon as cabbages? And what sort of drink can instantly replenish energy and dispel weakness?"


    Zhu Wenyu initially didn''t want to participate. However, the situation was too grim for him. Therefore, he used a magical artifact to increase his power and control the corpses and dark monsters.


    '' I hope he is protecting the cave. As long as my formation remains safe, the Chi Vige and the nearby forest shall remain under my control.''


    His brows furrowed as he saw the retreated Silver Lightning Cavalry slowlying back.


    The shielders of the ground troop acted as vanguard. Meanwhile, The archers came forward and the heavy weapon troopers remained at the rear.


    '' They are going to use long range attack? Hah, How predictable.'' Zhu Wenyu swung his staff as he chanted a spell.


    As long as the archers attack the monsters, they will be able to affect the flow of the wind to disrupt the arrows.


    *ROAR! ROAAA!*


    The dark goblins used the ogres and wolves as forward as they charged towards the army. Since they were buffed by Blood Buff, their sanity has reduced and their strength has been increased.


    After all, they are low level intelligent monsters. So, a reduction in their sanity doesn''t affect them much.


    As the ground soldiers moved forward, the archers stayed behind them.


    " Archers! Fire!"


    *SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!*


    The sky was covered with a rain of arrows as they descended on the monsters. The goblin shamans used their abilities to create shields to block the arrows.


    However, since most of the shamans were killed earlier, only a few of them were remaining. So, despite their efforts, quite a lot of monsters still died.


    The ogres moved forward with theirrge bodies, acting as the vanguards. However, as the soldiers knew the weakness of the undead ogres, they used the Evil ExorcizingTalisman without any hesitation.


    However, before the arrows could reach the ogres, a strange wind blew, scattering the arrows.


    " Damn it! What was that!"


    " The arrows! The arrows have been deflected!"


    " Soldiers, when the chance arises, collect those talisman arrows." Old Yang ordered. " Spearmen, stick the talisman on your spear and stay behind the shielders."


    " March!"


    As a seasoned veteran, Old Yang already guessed that the opponent already realized the power of the talismanic arrows. Therefore, it is using its best to protect the ogres.


    After all, an undead ogre can wreak havoc on the battlefield. Without the power of Evil Exorcizing Talisman, it will take more than five Profound Awakening Realm experts to take it down.


    Since the arrows couldn''t be used due to mysterious interference, the soldiers used closedbat to use the talismans properly.


    As the soldiers charged forward, the spearmen made powerful thrusts.


    But suddenly, the soldiers divided into three pathways. The first remained with shields and spears at the vanguard.


    But using the narrow space of the vige, the cavalry split into two directions, one going left and one right.


    Lord Zhu''s expression changed when he saw the scene. '' Wh-What? What are they doing? They are¡­trying to trap the monsters?''


    But suddenly, his mind buzzed as a sense of danger enveloped him. Swinging his staff, he shouted.


    " Protection Shield!"


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Three spears fell from the sky, crashing on Lord Zhu. However, It was stopped by a translucent shield created by Lord Zhu.


    " Hah! There is really a bastard hiding here!"


    " Careful! It''s an Innate realm Spiritual Master."


    Old Yang held his sword as he charged towards Zhu Wenyu.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile¡­


    Jia Hao stopped using his Fading Moon Steps as he stood near a familiar cave.


    '' Now, Let''s see what''s hiding inside the cave.''

 Chapter 224: Capturing Zhu Wenyu

    " Bastards! How did you know I am here?" Lord Zhu snarled as he clenched his skull staff.


    " Hmpf! Heretical bastard, Bold of you to assume that you can stay hidden before Silver Lightning Cavalry." Old Yangughed as he swung his sword.


    " Prepare to die!"


    " Hmph! You think a few of you can take down me?" Zhu Wenyu snorted as he backed away.


    Holding his pouch, he threw tworge orbs on the ground.


    " Corpse soldiers! Appear!"


    *SWOOSH!*


    Dark smoke oozed out as the orb transformed into two soldiers, A Pungent smell filled the air as the two corpses wore armor and held weapons in their hands.


    " Damn it! You refined humans and turned them into corpse puppets?" Old Yang snorted with disgust.


    " Hehe, So what?" Lord Zhuughed coldly. " Today, I will get a few new ones, I guess."


    " Bastard!"


    The sword of Old Yang glinted with a crimson radiance as he shed down.


    " Tiger w sh!"


    *CLANGF! CLANG!*


    The weapons met as Old Yang got pushed back. Despite being corpses, the durability and power of the corpse puppets were petty high.


    The helpers of Old Yang nodded as they charged forward, trying to clear a path for Old Yang.


    " Use the talisman!"


    " It will burn those evil things!"


    As they tried to throw the Evil Exocizing Talismans at the corpse puppets, a burst of green mes appeared before the puppets like a defensive wall, burning the talismans to a crisp.


    " Fuckers! You think I will let you use those holy talismans as you please?" Lord Zhu snarled as he mmed his staff on the ground.


    " Bone Spikes!"


    The ground trembled as Old Yang held both of his subordinates and pulled them back. The ground cracked as white bone with pointy tip like spears burst out.


    " Be careful!" Old Yang spoke in a serious voice. " He is a spiritual master with strange abilities."


    " Fend off against those puppets. I will handle that bastard."


    " Hmph, old man, admit defeat already." Lord Zhu snorted when he heard Old Yang''smands.


    Before he could wave his staff again, Old Yang disappeared from his position rushing towards Zhu Wenyu.


    " Shield!"


    Zhu Wenyu''s created an illusory shield around him as Old Yang''s sword tried to stab him. The sword covered with crimson internal qi crashed on the shield, making it tremble.


    But Old Yang couldn''t able to pierce itpletely. Using the chance, Zhu Wenyu pulled out a small bottle and threw at Old Yang.


    *BOOOM!*


    The bottle crashed as a swarm of green smoke shot o ut, charging towards Old Yang.


    " You think you can poison me again?" Old Yang covered his face with a cloth as he retreated. Pulling out a Purification Charm, he pasted it on his forehead.


    The talisman glowed with a dim light as it created a faint barrier around Old Yang. When the green smoke touched his skin, it sizzled by theyer of light, burning itpletely.


    " Bastard! How! How many talismans do you have?"


    Zhu Wenyu felt he was going to be mad. After all, why not?


    He knows how hard it is to make talismans. Even a seasoned talisman master can''t make talismans like writing on paper. There was always a chance of failure.


    Not to mention, the mass produced talismans are generally weaker in power.


    But each talisman used by the Silver Lightning Cavalry was like the perfect bane against the dark forces of Zhu Wenyu.


    Whether it''s his corpse puppets or the undead ogres, all these powerful beings got crushed by the powerful holy talismans.


    " Haha! Cai Family is blessed by the heavens itself." Old Yangughed loudly when he saw the distressed expression of Zhu Wenyu.


    " You think a mere heretic like you destroy our family and invade Nanhai City?"


    " Courting death!"


    Zhu Wenyu snarled as he raised his staff. " I had enough! Ghost Fire!"


    Suddenly, green orbs of me appeared around Zhu Wenyu as they shot toward Old Yang.


    The orbs were like human skulls burning in green mes, giving an evil and ghostly vibe. Old Yang moved his body as he jumped to the side.


    Suddenly, two talismans appeared on his hands as he threw them backward.


    " Yo-You!"


    Zhu Wneyu''s expression changed as he realized Old Yang''s n.


    He never focused on Zhu Wenyu. He was only looking for a chance to destroy the corpse puppets first.


    As the talismans hit the corpse puppets, their body burned with a crimson me as they stopped attacking.


    " DIEEE!"


    Zhu Wenyu cast the Ghost Fire again. However, before it could hit Old Yang, his subordinate moved forward holding a giant shield.


    " Lord Yang! We shall defend! Attack and kill that bastard!"


    Blue light erupted from the shield bearer''s body as his shield shone with a dim blue light.


    " HAAHHHHH!"


    The waves of green mes crashed on its shield as it started to cover his entire body. However, the shield bearer persisted as he blocked the attack.


    The remaining two rushed towards Zhu Wenyu with their spears. Zhu Wenyu backed as he used Bone Spikes to create a gap between them.


    However, at that moment, he realized that Old Yang was not there.


    His body shivered as an ominous sense loomed in his heart. However, it was toote.


    A red sh of a sword ray, and the arm of Zhu Wenyu which was holding the staff flew off.


    " AHHHH!"


    The other soldier kicked away that staff far from Zhu Wenyu''s reach.


    " Secret technique, Sword Arc!"


    Zhu Wenyu squealed like a pig as Old Yang severed one of his legs. As he fell down, the soldiers got hold of him. Old Yang lowered his body and stuck a few acupoints on Zhu Wenyu''s body, making him paralyzed.


    " Bastard! You sealed off¡­my spiritual qi? You¡­You think you can capture me?"


    " Why not?" Old Yang kicked him in the abdomen. " Now, obediently cast off your spell or¡­"


    " Haha, You¡­You think I will do?" Zhu Wenyu snorted.


    But suddenly, Old Yang pressed his shoulder. His fingers wed in as Zhu Wenyu''s expression turned twisted.


    " AHHHHHHH! LET ME GO! IT HURTS!"


    " Believe me, you wouldn''t want to suffer my torture techniques." Old Yang snorted as he pulled back his palm.


    Without any hesitation, Old Yang let out a signal ir, making it crackle in the sky.


    As Zhu Wenyu fell, the spells cast by him also vanished. The Blood Buff on the monsters disappeared, making them befuddle due to aftereffects.


    Taking the chance, the ground soldiers and the Silver Lightning Cavalry pushed forward.


    " Charge! Kill those monsters!"


    " Avenge our fallen brothers!"


    Old Yang looked at the shield bearer who was suffering against the ghost mes. Despite his defensive blue internal energy, most of his subordinates were affected by it.


    " Hurry up and take them back to treat the wound!" Old Yang fed him the remaining orange juice.


    Zhu Wenyu was groaning in pain as blood gushed from his wound. But Old Yang didn''t kill him but sealed him and took him back.


    " Young Lord, Where are you?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Damn it! What happened? Someone tried to intrude the cave?"


    The follower of Zhu Wenyu hurriedly walked outside. To his surprise, he saw the stones creating the formation were broken.


    However, he didn''t see anyone outside.


    But suddenly¡­


    A silver glint shed as a saber cleaved from behind. A single chop and the man was beheaded.


    " Well, Why choose frontal fight when you can sneak attack?" Jia Hao chuckled as he looked at the headless person.


    '' Tsk, no wonder people hate junglers to their bones.''


    While Old Yang fended off Zhu Wenyu, Jia Hao decided to venture into the cave to see if he could find anything,


    But since he knew about the formation, Jia Hao decided to put out a bait to gauge the danger.


    And as expected, there was a guard in the cave.


    [ Ding! Host gets Basic Elemental Affinity Shard (5/5)]


    [ Ding! Shards are merged, Host gets Elemental Affinity: Gold]

 Chapter 225: Boss Raid

    Looking around, he found a small pouch from that person''s waist.


    '' Fifty thousand taels worth of gold bills, and some other materials, eh?''


    [ Lethargic Curse Potion: Throwing it at the enemy, the gas can make the opponent nauseous and slow down]


    [ Spirit Wand: A low grade magical treasure, made from roots of Twisted Dark Willow tree. A low grade wand with a medium grade energy stone embedded in it. It increases the uracy and proficiency of spells]


    [ Archaic Spell Casting Manual Vol 1: A manual of a distant world, filled with concepts of spell casting and spiritual arts different than Yun Continent]


    [ Explosive Bones: Magically enchanted bones. Throwing it at the enemy, it explodes, creating a sharp bone wall around them]


    '' Hehe, This is some fine good.'' Jia Hao nodded with satisfaction. Especially holding the wand, he felt like he was some real wizard.


    '' You are a wizard, Jia Hao. Hehehe.'' Looking at the corpse, he checked the final thing.


    [ Host received skill cards! You can only pick one out of three]


    [ Soul Gathering Arts (Medium)]


    [ Mana Shield (Low)]


    [ Ghost me Balls (Low)]


    '' Tsk, Stingy pot. Can''t you let me pick two out of three?'' Jia Hao muttered under his breath as he pondered.


    '' Since I have the spell casting book, I can still learn some spells on my own, yes? They are not enchanted by the Pot of Miracles, so I believe I can learn well on my own.''


    '' Meanwhile, the Soul Gathering Arts''s proficiency is good. And looks like a soul type technique. I should go with this one.''


    As Jia Hao clicked on the Soul Gathering Art, a rush of information stormed into his head. With new information, Jia Hao took a deep breath to adjust his thoughts.


    '' Damn, as I expected. It''s a technique which can slowly strengthen control over my spiritual energy.''


    '' But¡­This is the lowest level of technique.'' Jia Hao''s expression turned odd. '' Damn, Did I get scammed? Why did this guy grind the lowest level of technique?''


    ''Never mind, Something is better than nothing. I shall see if I can use it with my Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Arts.''


    What Jia Hao didn''t know was that soul cultivation techniques can be considered as rarity. The sects and families that practicisses spiritual techniques keep their cultivation method strictly guarded.


    Unless one joins them and has enough contributions, putting their hands on such a technique would be very hard.


    Therefore, a vagabond spiritual artist can only rely on publicly avable techniques, which can be considered basic and inefficient.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao clenched his saber and waited outside for a while. He wanted to check if there were any subordinates of the man still inside the cave.


    After all, if that man didn''t return, his friend woulde out to look for him. But since no one came, Jia Hao assumed that there was no one in the cave.


    As Jia Hao stepped inside, the illusion array vanished as a new view came before him. The cave was spacious with torches lighting the way.


    However, amazingly, the torches gave off no smell or smoke. They burned clean and bright.


    As Jia Hao reached the center of the cave, his eyes narrowed. He could see the dried corpses scattered around. All of them were dried, with no smell of blood or rotting flesh.


    All of them were neatly arranged as a circle, with blood red lines connecting them like circuits. It looked like a magical diagram created for evil rituals, with an altar at the center of the diagram.


    He could see a mass of flesh and blood writhing crazily as it hovered on the altar.There were many cuts, looking like closed eyes.


    Jia Hao felt nauseous as he looked at it. However, he still used the Sage''s Divine Eyes on it.


    [ Corrupt Blood Spawn: An almostpletely fed demonic spawn that has eaten the flesh, blood, spirit, and vitality of a hundred people. Currently, in a sealed state. Once awaken, it creates havoc. Better kill it before it fully grows]


    '' Well, Fuck. I knew it.''


    Jia Hao''s eyes turned serious when he looked at the information. Holding his saber tightly, As he was about to attack it, the writhing flesh suddenly bloated and exploded.


    " Huh??!!"


    rmed by the sudden changes, Jia Hao hurriedly retreated. Without any hesitation, he threw all the remaining Purification Talismans on the flesh.


    *SHIINGGGG!*


    The talismans glowed with soft buddhist light as they stuck to the flesh. A strange cry erupted from it as the blood red magic circle around the mass of flesh shone with a bright light.


    Suddenly, flesh and blood swirled as it condensed into a monster seven feet tall. Bloody tentacles moved around as many eyes appeared all over its body.


    However, Jia Hao could see some of the eyes were damaged, and the bloody monster looked rather unstable.


    [ Unstable Blood Spawn: Unsealed with an improper method and interrupted by holy energy, it''s in rather unstable state]


    [ Strength: Spiritual attack and regeneration]


    [Weakness: Destroy the core and chop it into pieces]


    *KREEEEEEE*


    Jia Hao clenched his teeth as the monster let out a strange cry. The talismans around it shattered instantly, making Jia Hao back away.


    The scream was like a flood of malice, trying to corrupt Jia Hao''s thoughts and soul. However, at that moment, Jia Hao activated Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    Suddenly, the malice and pain of his soul vanished. It felt like a giant wall stood before the screech of the monster''s screech, protecting Jia Hao''s psyche.


    " Damned monster! Die!"


    Jia Hao roared as he used the Crimson Frenzy de Art. His saber was covered with fiery sparks as he shed out at the monster.


    The monster sensed the danger as blood flowed like a living liquid around it, creating a crimson shield. However, Jia Hao''s momentum was enough to cleave it apart.


    " Crimson Frenzy deworks!


    His saber moved with a fiery frenzy as he shed three tentacles at once. However, instead of falling down, the tentacles turned into liquid, floating around the monster''s body.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt a chill as he saw the tentacles breaking into small pieces. Each piece turned to a sharp bloody pike as they shot towards Jia Hao like a swarm.


    " Damn it!."


    Using his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, he strengthened his body before using the saber to defend.


    The cave was narrow and there was not much ce to dodge. So, Jia Hao could only brace himself and take the attack head on.


    *SHWISH! SWISH! SWISH!*


    Like rain drops, the pikes shot towards Jia Hao, covering his line of sight. Swinging his saber, Jia Hao cleared the pikes which aimed at his vitals.


    The rest still grazed against his body. But thankfully, The Silver Feather Armor and his physical body resisted most impact.


    But still, Jia Hao felt the impact, making his face wince.


    '' Fuck, This monster feels like¡­A peak stage Profound Awakening Realm master.''


    '' And that damned regeneration. I need to finish this fast.''


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao used his elemental affinity of Gold. Suddenly, his internal energy churned as a golden sheen appeared on his saber.


    As Jia Hao shed out, he felt his attacks have be lighter, yet sharper and precise. With the Crimson Frenzy de Arts, he crazily shed at the monster, turning it into bits.


    Despite that, Jia Hao kept searching for its core. But he was annoyed as the core kept changing ce in it''s viscous body.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt danger from his back. But it was toote.


    *CRACCKK!*


    A tentacle turned into a spear and stabbed from his back. The armor finally got pierced as he felt the stab.


    However, gritting his teeth, Jia Hao also gave a powerful sh. His intense yang energy vaporized arge part of that monster.


    Both of them retreated as they looked at each other warily. Jia Hao felt terrible pain from his wound as if someone gnawing his bones.


    But at that moment, the monster suddenly started to swallow all the corpses around it.


    '' Fuck! I won''t let it enter the second phase.'' Jia Hao clenched his fist as his mind raced.


    No matter what, unless an Innate Realm master takes action, or Jia Hao uses a higher version of the Evil Exorcizing Talisman, defeating the monster would be impossible.


    '' Do I need to do this? Damn it. I worked so hard.''


    However, Jia Hao finally thought of a method as he sighed.


    sping his palms, his eyes shone with a deep glint.


    " With all my heavenly virtue, I summon¡­"

 Chapter 226: Virtuous Sacrifice

    During a fight, the faster one would understand his opponent, the better his chance of survival will be.


    The Unstable Blood Spawn seemed to be crafted by blood magic with evilness within it. The blood magic and evil magic mixed so thoroughly that even the Buddhist Purification Talismans could only restrain it so far.


    Not to mention, Jia Hao already used all of them during the transition of the blood spawn, thus reducing its strength.


    He couldn''t even imagine the strength of a stable blood spawn.


    After fighting it, he realized that he could only kill it if he chipped away its body and kept burning it with his righteous yang energy.


    Because if he doesn''t burn off the part of the monster''s body, it will soon return back to his body, making it regenerate.


    But still, Jia Hao''s internal energy was rather limited. And since he used the Crimson Frenzy de Art and the robust Metal elemental energy, his energy has been depleting rapidly.


    And like his friends, Jia Hao simply can''t use the chocte to replenish his strength.


    However, it wasn''t like he was out of options. As he realized his buddhist energy could kill the monster, he decided to go all out. In the chapter of Virtuous Pilgrims, there was a secret technique to bolster one''s power.


    Consuming all the virtue and returning it to heaven, one can attain a great amount of mystic power for a short amount of time,


    " Virtuous Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth."


    " With all my heavenly virtue, I summon¡­the strength of righteousness and benevolence."


    " Allow me to purify the sin of the world and the suffering of mortals."


    His dantian churned as all the virtues he umted through the month slowly escaped from his foundation. The starlight strings of virtue swirled around his dantian as they turned into a stream of pure buddhist energy.


    Putting his saber back, Jia Hao joined his palm as he gave a bow. His body shone with a gentle golden radiance, a radiance filled with benevolence and righteousness.


    " Radiant Palm!"


    Using the Fading Moon Steps, Jia Hai instantly closed the distance between the blood spawn and himself.


    His palm stuck out as the buddhist energy swirled around it.


    *CHII! CHIII!*


    It was like water droplets falling on a heated woke. As Jia Hao''s palmnded on the monster''s body, the viscous blood around the spawn vaporized instantly.


    Jia Hao concentrated his will as he threw more and more palm attacks at the monsters, trying to burn as much as he could.


    The monster roared as it tried to retaliate frantically. However, Jia Hao didn''t back down.


    Putting faith in his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts and the broken armor, he pushed forward.


    " sping the Jewell!"


    His eyes shed as he finally located the core of the monster. Without hesitation, Jia Hao made a wing motion as he used both the buddhist energy and Gold elemental power in his palms,


    Wincing in pain, Jia Hao felt like his palms were being prickled by hundreds of sharp needles.


    However, without budging slightly, Jia Hao''s hand pierced through the body of the demon, like thrusting a knife in a dough.


    *CRUNCH!*


    The moment Jia Hao felt the core in his palm, he used all his energy to crush it. The core shone with blinding radiance as it got crushed by pure virtuous yang energy and buddhist energy.


    *SCREEECHHHH!*


    The monster screeched as it suddenly turned into a whirlpool of blood and flesh. As if all of its strings breaking, the pool of flesh and blood fell on the ground lifelessly.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s Pot of Miracles appeared as it greedily devoured all the blood and flesh, leaving nothing behind.


    '' Damn, Can''t you wait till I manually pull you out?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but grumble.


    However, he didn''t interrupt as the flesh and blood energy is pretty abundant. As the pot finished drinking it, Jia Hao saw the energy bar of blood energy reached 10%


    '' Fuck, You drank that big ass monster and it only grew by 4%, what the hell?''


    Jia Hao pondered to devour the lingering blood vitality on the battlefield as it was littered with corpses of both humans and monsters.


    He already collected 6% worth of blood energy from the battlefield.


    However, as usual, he can''t devour everything as the dried corpses would raise great doubt. And, Jia Hao definitely didn''t want to getbeled as a heretic.


    As the virtuous energy slowly faded, an aching pain assaulted Jia Hao. However, clenching his teeth, he persisted.


    '' Ugh, The bacsh is still pretty strong, huh?'' Jia Hao grumbled as he sat on the floor to take a few breaths of respite.


    Looking around, he saw there were still a few rooms next to the main ritual hall. Summoning some strength, Jia Hao dragged his body and walked into those rooms.


    One room was like the bedroom, with some humble amodation. The second room was filled with various herbs and bizarre items, probably used in rituals.


    Jia Hao had no patience to check the items. He felt his body was getting more and more dizzy. So, he simply threw everything into his Pot of Miracles.


    '' Haah, but with this thing dead, I can finally rest in peace.'' Jia Hao took a deep breath as he walked out of the cave.


    '' I hope Old Yang subdued that Zhu Wenyu.''


    As he was finally outside, Jia Hao pulled out a signal re and shot it into the sky. However, his body felt very tense and heavy, making his bnce falter.


    '' Ugh¡­''


    Clutching his head, Jia Hao fell down, lying on damp forest grass. He wanted to get up, but he simply didn''t find strength at all.


    Not long after, he heard the sounds of horse hooves. With a nod, he finally fainted, realizing the Silver Lightning Cavalry was there.


    '' Haah, Let me rest now¡­''


    When his eyes opened, he found himself on a familiar bed. As he rolled his eyes, his gaze finally fell on Cai Yixue.


    She was sitting beside him, with her chin resting on her fist.


    " Nngh¡­Wife¡­"


    " Hnnng?"


    Cai Yixue heard the faint murmur of Jia Hao as her eyes opened. Wiping the saliva, she looked at him.


    " Goodness! You are awake!"


    As Jia Hao wanted to get up, Cai Yixue ced her palm at his chest.


    " You should rest. Your body is rather exhausted."


    " I am¡­Fine. Don''t worry." Jia Hao smiled as he got up and leaned against the bed frame.


    " So, How long I remain unconscious?"


    " Half a day."


    " What about father inw?" Jia Hao asked with a tinge of urgency,


    " Father¡­He is back." Cai Yixue spoke with a relieved tone. " Although he was injured, he managed to protect all he remaining viges."


    " Ahaha¡­Hahahah!"


    Jia Haoughed as his body rxed.


    '' Finally¡­I did it! I changed the fate of the entire Cai Family.''


    Suddenly, a burst of starlight appeared above Jia Hao as his eyes widened.


    Before he could react, his entire body was showered with a pir of starlight.


    '' UGH!''


    The energy swirled in his dantian as the virtuous energy turned into pure buddhist energy.


    At that moment, Jia Hao felt the ring a thousand bells, as the various mantras of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art echoed in his ear.


    '' Ah, so this is enlightenment¡­''

 Chapter 227: Pretending To Be Sick?

    Jia Hao took a deep breath as he felt the energy coursing through his body. The blessing of heaven and earth in the form of virtue was one of the purest kinds of energy.


    Cai Yixue paused as she saw Jia Hao sitting there with closed eyes. She felt a shift in his aura, making his expression stunned and solemn.


    '' He¡­He is undergoing enlightenment? How is that possible?''


    '' Even Innate realm masters couldn''t undergo such enlightenment, yet he¡­''


    However, Cai Yixue sat beside Jia Hao, with bated breath. She realized that she must not disturb him, or let anyone disturb him.


    Jia Hao''s breathing became rxed as he felt a strange kind of tranquility inside him.


    In the vast emptiness, he felt he was swimming in the warm current of the virtuous energy.


    He could feel the surrounding energy along with the virtuous energy condensing inside his dantian. His foundation grew more and more solid.


    His dantian expanded and his internal became more and more refined. Jia Hao felt he reached the Mid stage of Profound Awakening Realm in terms of strength.


    Now, with hisplete power of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Art, he can fight against a Half step Innate Realm master.


    And if he decided to ambush, his chance of killing one is pretty good.


    '' I used all my virtuous energy to kill that monster. But in the process, I altered the course of fate, saving the lives of thousands of people.''


    '' No wonder I received such a vast amount of virtuous energy.''


    Suddenly, in the vast emptiness, he felt someone reciting buddhist chapters.


    " What''s the point of hoarding virtue if it can''te in help of others?"


    " And if you help people without any ulterior thought in heart, what''s the point of having virtue when you are already benevolent?"


    " Virtue stems from heart, so does sin. Only after you empty a vessel, you can umte more water."


    The voice was ringing bells. However, it felt entirely mild and benevolent, like the teaching of a kind old grandpa.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt an entirely new chapter of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts appearing in his mind.


    Perhaps if he had never used all his virtues to defeat the monster, this chapter wouldn''t have appeared.


    '' Damn it, That cunning Khsitigarbh. He actually hid such an important part of technique in this way.''


    He felt like it was some sort of test prepared for the monks. If the virtuous monk chose to remain secluded and umte virtue bit by bit. He can alsoplete the entire chapter of Virtuous Pilgrim.


    However, he might never understood the essence of the chapter, making him lose quite a lot in the long run.


    But Jia Hao passed the test, as he let go of her virtue to help people. So he got enlightened, and an entirely new part of the technique opened for him.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao digested the information. He could feel the buddhist energy converging in his dantian.


    Suddenly, instead of refining his foundation, the energy condensed into an odd shaped material.


    '' Eh? Don''t tell me I formed a golden core?'' Jia Hao raised his brows in amusement.


    However, he knew that wasn''t the case. He saw his foundation bing solid and smoother, but the buddhis energy gathering on top of it.


    The shape of the thing was rather odd like someone picked a piece of stone b and chiseled it a few times.


    '' What''s this? Do I need to refine it with buddhist and righteous energy?''


    Cross referencing a few times with with the scriptures, Jia Hao understood what it was.


    '' It''s the unrefined inner treasure that appeared from the overflowing amount of virtuous energy and buddhist energy.''


    '' With my own understanding, I can refine into a true treasure, which can easily help me during my fight or cultivation.''


    '' However, Refining it is a rather tedious task. It would be a long way till I refine it into a treasure.''


    Exhaling a deep breath, he adjusted his body. As he opened his eyes, he saw Cai Yixue staring at him.


    " Am I looking that handsome?" Jia Hao smirked. " How about looking at me even closer?"


    " Ah! You¡­You have finished your meditation." Cai Yixue became flustered when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    " Hehe, I am sorry for keeping you waiting, Wife." Jia Hao slowly got up, feeling his body was rejuvenated.


    " Don''t worry, I am perfectly fine." Jia Hao smiled at concerned Cai Yixue.


    " Shall we go and check on Father inw?"


    " This¡­Alright."


    As they stepped out, Jia Hao could see the entire Cai Family manor was in chaos. The servants were running here and there as they tried to help everyone.


    Quite a lot of people were injured and all of them required help. Even Minmin was going in and out as she gathered ingredients and ordered other servants as well.


    As they entered the courtyard of the Cai Family, Jia Hao saw Li Rou standing outside, consulting with Pharmacist Mo.


    " Young Lord, You are here."


    " Hao''er, Yixue?"


    Li Rou''s expression changed when she saw Jia Hao outside. " You shouldn''t be wandering outside, Hao''er. You are also injured."


    " I am fine, Mother inw." Jia Haoughed. " Yixue took care of me real well. That''s why I recovered so fast."


    Cai Yixue blushed a bit as she pinched out Jia Hao''s waist, making him yelp.


    " Ouch! Ouch! Wife, What are you doing?"


    Li Rou sighed in relief when she saw Jia Hao and Cai Yixue. " That''s good for you."


    " Young Lord''s body is really amazing. He had quite a lot of wounds on your body. Not to mention a deep wound on your back." Pharmacist Mo replied. " But I guess most of them were shallow wounds."


    " What about Father in Law?" Jia Hao asked hurriedly. " Is he alright?"


    " He is alright. You can go and meet him. Just don''t agitate him much." Pharmacist Mo nodded and opened the door for him.


    " Who¡­Who is it? Hao''er?"


    Jia Hao and Cai Yixue walked in as they saw Cai Yunhai lying on the bed. His body was alright, other than a few bandaged wounds.


    " Father in Law, are you alright?"


    " Haha, Cheeky brat." Cai Yunhaiughed loudly. " What could happen to me? I am the mighty general Cai Yunhai after all."


    " Hmm, You do look very healthy, Father inw." Jia Hao looked at him with Sage''s Divine Eyes and nodded. " Then, What is it? Why are you faking wounds?"


    " Fa-Faking? Who said I am faking it? Cough, cough! I am so¡­Cogh! Injured¡­"


    Cai Yixue became a bit suspicious when she noticed a subtle change in Cai Yunhai''s expression.


    She did hear that her father was injured and didn''t wish to see anyone. But, even then, she felt strange as Cai Yunhai didn''t look much injured.


    " Father, Is he telling the truth?"


    " Ahh! Yixue, How could you doubt on your father?" Cai Yunhai showed a painful expression as he sighed.


    " It''s true, eh? Daughters be their husband''s wives after marriage, abandoning their fathers."


    " Tsk tsk, Let me guess, Father inw." Jia Hao gave a coy smile. " I guess someone didn''t want to act as Magistrate for a few days?"


    " Hmph, Brat! How could you say that?" Cai Yunhai''s expression faltered as he red at Jia Hao.

 Chapter 228: Stealing Kisses

    " I am a righteous person. How could I ditch the role given to me by His Majesty?"


    Cai Yixue became speechless after Jia Hao revealed the real intention behind Cai Yunhai''s injuries.


    " Anyway, I was more worried about you." Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao.


    " I did fight against quite a lot of ogres and undead beasts. But your talismans came in handy. We quickly eliminated the undeads first then killed the other dark monsters."


    '' But, I heard there was an Innate realm Spiritual Master enemy at your part?"


    " Yes, There was. He was casting spells while hiding at the back of monster tide." Jia Hao nodded. " I am thankful that Old Yang helped me. Otherwise, we would have lost."


    " And what about you? Who did you fight against?"


    " You can say, A half step Innate realm monster?" Jia Hao gave a wry smile. " I didn''t know there was a monster sealed inside the cave."


    " Before I was able to eliminate it, it became free from the seal and attacked me."


    " What? You fought against a Half step Innate realm monster?" Cai Yunhai and Cai Yixue were stunned.


    " Don''t think too much. It was already weakened by my talismans." Jia Hao waved his hands. " Not to mention, its state was very unstable."


    " Only after using a secret technique, I managed to kill it."


    " Is that so?" Cai Yixue nodded. " Pharmacist Mo said that your energy has been drained entirely and your physical body was almost stretched."


    " I guess you dealt with a fair share of trouble." Cai Yunhai sighed. " Fine, You can go back now and rest. We shall talk in the evening."


    " Yes, Father in Law."


    As they left. Cai Yunhai couldn''t help but grumble. " Damned brat, I thought I faked it well? How did he manage to see through my disguise?"


    " Ugh, I need to ask Old Mo to make me look more injured. It''s not working."


    " Young Lord Jia is very perspective, Patriarch."


    Cai Yunhai''s expression turned solemn as he looked at the person beside him.


    The spot which was empty a moment ago, now a person in a ck robe with a mask on his face stood there.


    " Forgive us, General, We should havee to aid you during the monster tide."


    " That''s not your fault." Cai Yunhai waved his hand. " You are the guards of Nanhai Pass. What would have happened if the enemy started an attack while you sent your army here?"


    " You are the Shadow Army, the vanguard of Great Yan. You must protect the Nanhai Pass at any cost."


    " But General Cai, We are also a part of the Cai Family. Should we not protect the family when the timees?" The person sighed.


    " Haha¡­Don''t be like that." Cai Yunhai gave a light chuckle. " What could happen to Cai Family? Didn''t you see it? We managed to escape through it."


    " May heaven keep its blessing on Cai Family." The person knelt before Cai Yunhai.


    " But still, General, I feel something fishy in this entire situation. I have already handled the thing at Nanhai Pass. Therefore, Can I stay here for a few days?"


    " Haah, I guess you won''t listen to me even if I ask you to leave, huh?" Cai Yunhai nodded.


    " It''s fine either way. You saw that brat, right?" Cai Yunhai chuckled. " Teach him a few stuff in the meantime."


    " As you wish, General Cai."


    Cai Yunhai''s face turned cold as he tapped on his bed frame. " Haah, It would have been a disaster if we had sent the Silver Lightning Cavalry away."


    " Prince Li Yuan is really pulling a lot of strings, huh? I admit, I almost got into it."


    " General, Perhaps you should seek audience with His Majesty."


    " Don''t worry about him." Cai Yunhai shook his head. " His Majesty always ns each of his moves. Have some faith on him."


    " I hope so."


    " Now, You can leave. Can''t you see I am injured?"


    The person gave a lightugh as he bowed his head. " Then, I wish a rather slow recovery of General."


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue with a sheepish nce.


    " Well, Wife¡­ I am sorry. The Silver Feather Armor you gave to me broke."


    " Why are you apologizing?" Cai Yixue gave a look to Jia Hao. " Isn''t that a goodthing?"


    "That means it served its purpose, saving you from a fatal injury,"


    As they entered the room, Cai Yixue suddenly hugged Jia Hao. Jia Hao hugged her back instinctively, his body warming by feeling Cai Yixue''s pressed on his neck.


    " Thank you¡­Thank you so much. For saving the Cai Family. You saved us from a big disaster."


    " I¡­ I just don''t know. I just want to show my gratitude."


    Jia Hao''s grin turned wide as he lowered her head. Cai Yixue looked at him as her cheeks turned red. She realized what Jia Hao wanted to do.


    However, even after that, she didn''t back away. Closing her eyes, her heart thumped as she felt the warm breath of Jia Hao on her lips.


    '' Dear heavens! He is going to do it again!''


    '' Last time, The kiss was rather rushed. But this time¡­I¡­I guess I should cooperate.''


    '' Yixue! It''s about returning the grace! Jia Hao helped you so much. Can''t you do some wifely duties?''


    '' Ok, Calm down. Let it flow¡­''


    " Youngdy, I have brought back the medicine¡­"


    Both Jia Hao and Cai Yixue paused as they looked at Minmin, who stood at the doorsteps.


    Even Minmin was stunned as she looked at both of them with a stunned expression.


    " I¡­ I think I shoulde backter." Minmin stammered as she looked here and there. " Haha, I didn''t see anything."


    Suddenly, Jia Hao leaned forward as he sealed Cai Yixue''s lips with a searing lip. Cai Yixue was stunned as her soft lips were pried open by His skillful tongue.


    " Mmnhh¡­"


    Sighing, Cai Yixue surrendered herself to Jia Hao''s kiss. Their tongue intertwined with each other as they lost themselves in the kiss.


    " Ahhh!~"


    Cai Yixue finally came back to her senses as she pushed back Jia Hao gently. But, looking at the grinning face of Jia Hao, it was like a sly fox who managed to steal some honey.


    " Ugh, You¡­"


    Cai Yixue felt her face burning with shame as she looked at Minmin. Minmin was looking at them with a big ''O'' expression while standing like a statue.


    " What is it, Minmin? Never seen an affectionate married couple?" Jia Hao jested.


    " Th-That¡­Young Lord¡­ I¡­"


    Minmin felt her brain turning haywire for a moment, making her unable to say anything properly.


    " Yo-You! You did that on purpose, right?!"


    Cai Yixue pouted as she red at Jia Hao. Jia Hao shrugged, " Why not? Minmin isn''t an outsider, right? She can see it."


    " Hmph! Pervert!""


    Both Minmin and Cai Yixue snorted at the same time. Pushing away Jia Hao, Cai Yixue walked and sat down on a chair.


    " So, What did you bring, Minmin?"


    " Oh, just some medicinal pills. It will help Young Lord to increase his vigor and heal his wounds."


    Jia Hao looked at the bottles of pills and nodded. " Although I am perfectly fine now, Taking them won''t harm."


    " For now, continue producing the soaps and shampoos. It will sell faster in the future."


    " We have already reached the first mark you have set for. We can start selling them already."


    " The war is over. After two days, you can start selling it." Jia Hao exined.


    " You can also tell people that along with washing grime and dirt, it can also prevent various diseases that spread from water."


    " What? Is that true?" Both Cai Yixue and Minmin were stunned when they heard that.


    " Well, People will believe it." Jia Hao chuckled as he stretched his body.


    " I guess you should take some rest." Cai Yixue stood up as she held Minmin. " We shall not disturb you further."


    " I am afraid I have to leave." Jia Hao gave a wry smile. " Maybe for a week? I shall return swiftly."


    Cai Yixue bit her lips, but she simply turned around to leave.


    " I trust you¡­Come back early."


    Minmin also gave a wink as she left with Cai Yixue.


    Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao went to sleep.


    '' It''s time to return to Azure Sea Star.''

 Chapter 229: Extraction Harvest

    Jia Hao yawned as he opened his eyes. Looking around, he saw he was still in his bedroom.


    When he looked into his Pot of Miracle, he saw the Four Directional Karmic Bnce was chained up.


    '' Well, Fuck. I guess I can''t return back to the Yun Continent for a month. Then, around a week would have passed there.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    As he expected, he already hit the upper limit of the traveling between twor worlds. ording to the message he got, he won''t be able to travel in next 30 days.


    Changing his clothes, Jia Hao stepped out of his room. When he came down to dining, Su Yunqi was surprised.


    " Hao''er! Where were you?"


    " I was in my¡­"


    Jia Hao paused as he realized more than 12 hours would have passed here.


    " Why do you ask,Aunt Su?" Jia Hao changed his words as he looked at Su Yunqi.


    " Ugh, Xing''er wanted to go to the gym with you. But you didn''t wake up and she went alone. Then Su Lan wanted to talk with you."


    " But when she opened your room door, you weren''t there." Su Yunqi nced at him.


    " Strange. None of us has seen you going in or out from house. How did you return?"


    " Hehe, Consider this as my stealth, Mother." Jia Hao grinned as he stretched his body.


    " Stealth for what?" Su Yunqi squinted her eyes. " What are you doing, hm?"


    " Hehe, Think this as a surprise, Mother."


    " Ahhn!"


    Su Yunqi blushed as Jia Hao blinked from his position and appeared right before her. Holding her waist, he pulled up into his embrace.


    " Gosh! Hao''er, What are you doing?" Su Yunqi blushed furiously. " We are in the main hall!"


    " Didn''t you just say?" Jia Hao smirked. " Both Su Lan and Su Xing''er out of the mansion?"


    " Doesn''t that mean we can have some¡­private moment?"


    " You sneaky brat¡­"


    Su Yunqi sighed as she feigned struggle. However, the close proximity to Jia Hao made a strange current flow through her body.


    It was like the feeling of nostalgia, the thrill that Su Yunqi had almost forgotten.


    " Alright, That''s enough, Brat." Su Yunqi smiled as she pushed Jia Hao away.


    " Have you eaten something?"


    " Not really." Jia Hao thought for a moment before speaking.


    " Then stay here and don''t cause any mischiefs." Su Yunqi gave a look to Jia Hao before sauntering to the kitchen.


    " I shall make some scallion pancakes for you."


    " Ooh! Thank you so much, Mother. Hehe, You know I love the scallion pancakes from your hands." Jia Hao''s eyes sparkled.


    " Also, the spicy garlic sauce with some scrambled eggs, please."


    " I know what you want." Su Yunqi gave an affectionate smile. " Just wait for a few minutes."


    Jia Hao nodded as he sat at the dining table. As Su Yunqi busied herself in the kitchen, Jia Hao looked into his Pot of Miracles.


    '' Now I think, I should have killed that Zhu Wenyu before I came here. Maybe I would have gotten some new skills or treasures?''


    '' But anyway, Let''s see what sort of extractions happened this time.''


    [ Blood Core: An orb filled with a great amount of blood and vitality. It can increase the vitality of a person. Even a dying mortal can get ten years worth of lifespan from it]


    '' Damn, A Longevity pill?'' Jia Hao''s eyes widened. '' It can increase lifespan? This is insane.''


    '' Too bad, It''s not much use of me. It also stated that it will increase lifespan of mortals, not practitioners.''


    '' Hmm, This might be useless in Yun Continent, but in Azure Sea World, it would be priceless. After all, almost everyone here is mortals without any practice.''


    The Blood Core was the extraction from the remnant of the Blood Spawn Jia Hao killed.


    The vast amount of blood energy was absorbed by the pot. And whatever remained was further extracted, creating this Blood Core.


    Jia Hao became excited as he looked at more things.


    [ Spiritual Energy Orb: Extracted from the spirit orb and magical wand. The pure energy within the orb can be directly absorbed and increase the spiritual force a bit]


    '' Ah, This must havee from the dead body of the apprentice I killed. Hehe, Thankfully I looted him after I killed him.''


    Jia Hao nodded and looked further and found a thin book.


    [ Extracted version of Archaic Spell Casting Manual Vol 1: Without any redundancy, it contains various small apprentice level spells]


    Jia Hao flipped it and his eyes turned wide.


    '' No way¡­ I never thought the extraction ability would show such results.'' Jia Hao couldn''t suppress his excitement.


    The techniques and writing of the Archaic Spell Casting Manual Vol 1 were neatly extracted and summarized. The useless parts were cast aside and it created an easy version.


    '' Now, With myprehension and this new book, I learn any sort of techniques in twice¡­not, four times of result in a fourth of effort.''


    '' Not to mention, the time flows faster in an alternate world. If I practice in Azure Sea World, I can easily be a master in Yun Continent in a short period of time.''


    Other than these, there were some extracts of raw materials. Some of them could heal, and some of them can cause lethargy and unconsciousness.


    Keeping them aside, Jia Hao quickly consumed the Spiritual Energy Orb. The moment he ate it, it melted in his mouth like cotton candy.


    A surge of warmth spread across his body as he felt a string of energy connected to his soul, nourishing it the pure spiritual energy.


    To maximize the effect, Jia Hao started to use the Soul Gathering Art.


    Despite being a low level technique, Jia Hao found that he could control the flow of spiritual energy with more precision and efficiency.


    Taking deep breath, he felt he absorbed all the energy within the orb. Using the Soul Gathering Art, Jia Hao tried to use his spiritual qi.


    Suddenly, even with closed eyes, the world around him became strangely clear.


    Even in darkness, he could sense the presence of things quite well. The sizzling noise in the kitchen, the chirping bird outside, the child shouted across the street¡­Even the most distant voice became clear for Jia Hao.


    Suddenly, He felt his tree of desire fluttering inside his body. Jia Hao became curious as he looked at the tree of desires.


    It shook gently, like a small tree shakes in the wind. It was adorned with petals of various colors, each representing an emotion and desire.


    But when Jia Hao''s spiritual energy touched it, Jia Hao trembled lightly. It was like various emotions and desires exploded in his mind.


    '' I see¡­ I can control all these gathered emotions and desires like this.''


    The contents of the Six Desires Myriad Thoughts Arts shed in his mind as he tried some of the things with the petals.


    He picked the pink petal of affection along with the yellow petal of greed. From the affection, Jia Hao managed to extract lust and attraction.


    And from greed, Jia Hao managed to refine gluttony.


    '' It''s like doing chemical reactions. Each emotion and desire can be created and materialized using the spiritual energy.''


    '' It can be used on myself and others. However, if I use it on myself, I won''t be able to absorb that corresponding emotion and desire from the other person.''


    For example, If Jia Hao covered himself with the emotion of hate, all the people around him would start to hate him. But in this state, Jia Hao won''t be able to absorb the emotion of hatred from others.


    After all, it would be an infinite money glitch, and sadly the devs won''t allow it.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao felt his stomach rumbling as he felt hunger. It was the effect of the gluttony. As he was controlling lust and gluttony, Jia Hao heard the sound of footsteps.


    " Here, Your breakfast has arrived¡­"


    Su Yunqi appeared as she served the dishes on the table. But when she looked at Jia Hao, her expression flinched.


    Involunteraily, her tongueshed out, licking her lips seductively.

 Chapter 230: Mom Has a Crush?

    Imagine getting out of the heat of the kitchen and right after that, you step into a field of flowers, with various intoxicating fragrances.


    And amidst the field of flowers, you see a handsome male sitting leisurely, looking at you with a sassy smile.


    Sun Yunqi felt exactly that.


    '' What''s this fragrance? This feels so¡­raunchy. Mm¡­Jia Hao looks so handsome when he is in deep thought.''


    '' Wh-What? Yunqi! What the hell are you thinking? It''s early morning and you are having such thoughts¡­''


    " What is it, Mother?" Jia Hao tilted his head as he looked at Su Yunqi. " Aren''t you gonna eat with me?"


    " Ahh! I¡­ I am not that hungry!" Su Yunqi became flustered instantly as she hurriedly replied.


    " Come on, Mother. Just a few bites."


    "Ugh, If you say so¡­" Su Yunqi sighed as she sat near Jia Hao. However, she couldn''t deny the strange pull towards Jia Hao, making her squirm.


    Jia Hao finally realized the reason for Su Yunqi''s behavior as he hurriedly cancelled his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    '' Heh, I didn''t mean that really. I was just experimenting with my new power.'' Jia Hao consoled himself as he ced his palm on Su Yunqi''s palm.


    " Mother, How about you feed me?"


    " Haah? You want me to feed you?" Su Yunqi''s cheeks turned red as she heard Jia Hao''s request. She felt her erotic thoughts slowly subsiding, making her sigh in relief.


    " Hmm, Someone likes to get spoiled, huh?" Su Yunqi giggled as she finally fed Jia Hao.


    " Haah, It''s been a while since I fed you."


    " Yeah, Time flies so fast." Jia Hao nodded. " Mother, I believe the Blue Crystal Corporation already assimted Qingzhu Jewellery?"


    " Indeed, It''s already done. Even our share prices increased quite a lot." Su Yunqi nodded.


    " I was thinking of pushing forward theunch of our new set of jewelry. You know, it will help ourpany to stand out."


    " Is that so?"


    Jia Hao thought for a moment before he used his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    [ Name: Su Yunqi]


    [ Remark: CEO of Blue Crystal Corporation. A fine and maturedy, mother of two genius girls. Forgiving and mild personality]


    [ Recent Future Point: Three dayster, thepany''stest design would get leaked, which will cause a huge loss for Blue Crystal Corporation]


    '' Haah, As I expected.''


    Jia Hao sighed as he rubbed his face. Su Yunqi tilted her head as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " What happened, Hao''er? Any problems?"


    " Nope, Nothing at all." Jia Hao shook his head. " Actually, I was thinking about something."


    " Mother, I haven''t visited yourpany even once."


    " Ah, Now you say that¡­" Su Yunqi''s eyes sparkled with realization as she nodded. " Indeed, Not even once you went to thepany."


    " Are you curious, hm? How about today?"


    " Well, I am always ready." Jia Hao gave a smirk. " Not to mention, After the visit, We can go on a small¡­date."


    " Gosh, What are you saying." Su Yunqi blushed as she looked away. " How can you say such a thing while maintaining such a straight face?"


    " Hehe, Consider this as my charm, Mother." Jia Hao chuckled. " So, How about I get ready now?"


    " Very well, I shall also get ready."


    After Jia Hao left, Su Yunqi couldn''t help but rub her flushed cheeks.


    '' Hao''er is so flirty. Ugh, Why can''t I resist him?''


    '' A date? Should I wear something light? Or something fashionable?''


    '' Ahhh! When was thest time I got so picky about a cloth?''


    She felt her heart thumping with a newfound excitement.


    For Su Yunqi, such feelings weren''t foreign. However, after the death of her husband, the workload of thepany, and raising two daughters, Su Yunqi soon forgot everything about romance and affection.


    But now, she felt that distant feeling once again. It was like she was slowly returning to her youth.


    Not long after, Jia Hao came down wearing a casual blue shirt and jeans. Despite his simple attire, his aura and elegance were off charts.


    '' Mhm, This watch fits perfectly for this dress. And I have to admit, the Wolf Musk Perfume is also pretty solid.''


    But when he came down, his expression froze when he looked at Su Yunqi.


    She wore a long floral dress, the light yellow color fabric was highlighted by the white and peach color.The V cut was at the perfect ce, not revealing anything, but also giving a glimpse of the deep ravine beneath it.


    Not to mention, perhaps it was due to the tight nature of the torso part of the dress, Su Yunqi''s breasts stood with perfect perkiness, as the dress outlined thempletely.


    " Wh-What happened?" Su Yunqi asked in a hesitant voice. " Am I not looking good?"


    " Should I change to something else?"


    " NO! NOPE!"


    Su Yunqi was startled by Jia Hao''s voice. Jia Hao also coughed a bit as he adjusted his voice.


    " You look perfectly fine, Mother. You¡­Simply look too¡­beautiful."


    " You are such a tter." Su Yunqi adjusted her hair as she murmured. " How could an old woman like me look good."


    " Mother, Are you seriously saying that?" Jia Hao chided. " You¡­You are looking so pretty and seductive. Like, You are barely looking in your thirties!"


    " Even some of the younger girls will fall pale in yourparison!"


    " You are looking so good that I wish¡­"


    " You wish?"


    Su Yunqi raised her brows when she saw Jia Hao faltering at the end, not finishing his sentence.


    " Uhh¡­Can I not say that?" Jia Hao scratched his head as he looked away.


    " Go ahead. I am listening." Su Yunqi pursed her lips. " Let me hear the words which made even you shy."


    " Well, Here we go." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " I wish I could push you down on the bed, slowly kiss your lips, and trail down to your breasts. I wish to undress you slowly and caress each of your bare curves."


    " After that¡­"


    " ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!"


    Su Yunqi showed her palm as she looked at her feet, her chest rising and falling.


    " I understand what you are feeling. No need to borate that deeply."


    Jia Hao grinned as he walked towards Su Yunqi. With a swing of his arm, he held her waist, pulling her into his embrace.


    " But Mother dearest, it was you who wanted to hear it, no?"


    " How can you ask me to stop? I haven''t even reached the juiciest part."


    " Nnghh!~"


    Su Yunqi let out a cute whimper as she felt Jia Hao''s face rubbing on her neck. His proximity and that dominating, masculine fragrance around him made her mind buzzing.


    " Hao''er¡­If you keep teasing me like that, we will bete."


    " Hehe, No worries. The CEO can be a bitte." Jia Hao jested as he let go of Su Yunqi.


    " You are getting more and more mischievous, huh?"


    " Ow! Oww!" Mother, That hurts!"


    Jia Hao winced in pain as Su Yunqi pinched his cheek.


    " So what? You need some discipline, brat." Su Yunqi feigned anger.


    " Now, Don''t waste time ande with me."


    .

    Meanwhile, At school¡­


    " What is it, Elder Sister? What are you thinking so seriously?" Su Xing''er looked at Su Lan.


    " Xing''er, What would you do if Mom found a crush?"


    Su Xing''er was stumped when she heard the murmur of Su Lan.


    " What?"

 Chapter 231: Narrowing The Suspects

    Not long after, Jia Hao and Su Yunqi arrived at the Blue CrystalCompany.


    " Wow, Hao''er. Your driving skill is getting more and more better." Su Yunqi spoke in a surprised voice.


    " Hehe, Not really. I still can''t beat most racers." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " Ugh, Hao''er, I won''t permit you for that." Su Yunqi berated him lightly. " Car is for traveling. Why do you need to go at high speed? I don''t want anything to happen to you."


    " Your parents also¡­"


    Su Yunqi paused as she looked outside with a sigh. Jia Hao huffed as he ced his palm on Su Yunqi''s palm. " I know what you mean, Mother."


    " Don''t worry¡­Nothing will happen to me." Jia Hao smiled as he got out from his car. Walking to the other side, he opened the door for Su Yunqi, taking her out of his Imperial with elegance.


    " Huh? Is that Lady Su?"


    " Whoa, Who was that young man with him?"


    " She is looking so pretty today."


    Su Yunqi maintained a stoic face as she walked into the building with Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao could see the faint crimson hue on her cheeks.


    " Well, If you want to blush, you can blush, Mother." Jia Hao jested.


    " No need. " Su Yunqi gave a light re to her. " Ahem, I still have to maintain an image here, alright?"


    As they entered the building, everyone kept giving curious nces towards Jia Hao.


    Not long after, Su Yunqi''s secretary and two moredies appeared there.


    " Oh my, Boss, You are here."


    " Boss, Who is this handsome young man besides you?"


    " Hehe, Don''t tell me you finally decided to have a rtionship¡­"


    " He is my nephew and step son." Su Yunqi gave them a cid stare.


    " Hello, Beautifuldies. I am Jia Hao. I am currently studying at Azure Sea High School." Jia Hao smiled at them.


    " Hehe, Little Brother, You can call me Sister Qi''er. I am the secretary of your CEO Su." Qi''er stepped forward and shook hands with Jia Hao.


    " My name is Fu Ning, I am from designing department."


    " About me, You can call me An Luan. I work in the PR department along with some other stuff."


    Su Yunqi kept staring at them as she saw all three of them shaking hands with Jia Hao.


    But strange enough, each takes more time than thest one.


    " Well, If the introductions have ended, can we work now?"


    " Ah, Yes, Boss."


    " Qi''er,An Luan, Come to my office. Fu Ning¡­"


    " Little Brother, Shall I tour you around?" Fun Ning looked at Jia Hao and spoke first.


    " I can be a pretty good tour guide, you know?"


    " Is that so?" Jia Hao nodded. " Very well, I shall trust you then, Sister Ning."


    " Wow, I haven''t even finished my sentence and¡­" Su Yunqi looked at Fu Ning''s eagerness as she sighed.


    " Do as you please."


    " Hehe, Thank you, Boss." Fu Ning winked Su Yunqi as she giggled.


    Jia Hao also saw how Qi''er and An Luan looked at Fu Ning with a tinge of jealousy.


    It was as if Fu Ning was a cunning fox who managed to steal the pot of honey.


    Giving a triumphant smile, Fu Ning held Jia Hao and dragged him away.


    " Tsk, Fu Ning is using her charm again, huh?"


    " Hmph, She is just loafing around." An Luan scowled a bit.


    " Both of you, Calm down." Su Yunqi rubbed her forehead. " Come to my office right now."


    " Yes, Boss."


    .


    .


    .


    " Sister Ning, You are really pretty. You must have a lots of suitors, no?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " Ohoho, Little Brother is right. There are quite some suitors. But I always keep them at bay." Fu Ning spoke in a cheerful tone.


    " Besides, I am not in the mood for a rtionship. For the next two years, I only want to focus on my career."


    " Though¡­" Fu Ning''s voice trailed off as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " I won''t mind if someone hot as you ask me out."


    " Hehe, Sister Ning, I am taking the University Exam next year. Your words are pretty distracting."


    " Whoa! You aren''t even twenty yet?" Fu Ning was surprised.


    '' Fuck, Isn''t that like¡­an old cow wanting to eat young grass?"


    " Wait, I am not an old cow! I am a sexy and mature cow.''


    '' Besides, he already crossed the legal age. Our age gap isn''t that bad¡­''


    " Sister Ning¡­" Jia Hao called her out as he pointed at a hall. " Is that the Designing Department?"


    " Ahh!?"


    Fu Ning rubbed her cheeks as she nodded. " Yes, This is our department. Here, we craft all sorts of designs for ourpany. From jewellery to treasures."


    " Come with me, I will show you a lot of new things."


    " Sure, Sister Ning." While leading Jia Hao inside, Fu Ning couldn''t help but mumble inside her head.


    '' Damn, Why am I having so much naughty thoughts today? Jia Hao¡­Ugh, He is so attractive, I can''t calm my heart around him.''


    '' Fu Ning, I told you to stop reading those smut novels. Now you are getting horny by the looks of a teenager.''


    '' Mmm¡­But maybe¡­You know¡­MAYBE¡­''


    '' Ahem, Let''s calm down.''


    " So, Sister Ning¡­" Jia Hao looked at her with a smile. " Why don''t you surprise me?"


    " Ohoho, You asked the right question, Little Brother." Fu Ning''s eyes sparkled. " With the expansion of ourpany and the supply of top quality materials, we were nning tounch a new set of jewellery."


    " We shall name it¡­Leisure of Chang''e."


    " Leisure of Chang''e?" Jia Hao rubbed his chin. " That sounds impressive. Can I see it?"


    " Well, It''s a top secret project." Fu Ning''s eyes be serious. " Not many know about this."


    " Oh?"


    " But¡­ I am extra generous today. So, I can show you¡­" Fu Ning winked at Jia Hao, making him speechless.


    " Is this handsome privilege?" Jia Hao smirked.


    " I don''t know¡­Maybe?" Fu Ning gave a seductive smile as she turned around and showed some designs.


    " Here, We tried to use some traditional designs for this new set. For example, this charm bracelet has a hanging jade moon, with small diamonds as stars around it."


    " And this is a ne shall be decorated with pearls with green jades as background."


    Jia Hao had to admit when he saw the set of jewelry. The designs were pretty intricate and it evoked a sense of purity. It was perfect to be called as Leisure of Chang''e.


    " Well, Let''s say¡­In a hypothetical situation¡­" Jia Hao looked at Fu Ning. " What if the designs got stolen?"


    " Hmm?" Fu Ning looked at Jia Hao. " That''s impossible."


    " I know. But I am just asking¡­What if, it happens?" Jia Hao looked at her. " Since there are not many who have ess to theplete designs, the list of suspects would narrow down, yes?"


    " Ah, That''s true though. There are only a handful of people who can pull it off." Fu Ning realized that Jia Hao didn''t have any malicious intentions and simply asking from a security perspective.


    " That would be me, the head of the executive department, the head of the designing department, CEO Su, and one or two others." Fu Ning replied.


    Jia Hao noted the name in his mind. After all, he knew someone going to steal the designs in three days. That means they must have done some sort of deal with the rivalpany.


    '' In such deals, it''s natural that they will receive a great amount of money at once. Since I have narrowed down the suspects, it would be easy for me to check their recent future points."


    He believed that he would be able to get the culprit pretty easily. As for finding evidence, it can be done afterward.

 Chapter 232: Sweet Coincidences *Mild R-18*

    " I see." Jia Hao nodded with a smile. " I was just curious. Hope you didn''t mind."


    " Ah, Not really. I am rather surprised by your critical thinking." Fu Ning smiled.


    " Then, How abouting to my office? I have some other designs there too."


    " Not now, Sister Ning. How about we walk around and meet some other people?"


    " That''s¡­Fine too." Fu Ning smiled wryly, but she couldn''t help but grumble inwardly.


    '' Ungh, I wanted to spend some alone time with him though¡­''


    As they walked around, Jia Hao used his Sage''s Divine Eyes on all the possible suspects of stealing. And not long after¡­


    [ Name: Xu Da]


    [ Remark: A cunning individual, leader of the executive''s department. Already working for Ruiyan Corporation. Loves younger women]


    [ Recent Future Point: Three dayster, he is going to receive twenty million Yuan in his wife''s ount for his smuggling of Blue Crystal Corporation]


    [ Recent Past Points: Two days ago, he met Ruiyan Company''s executive in Smokey Cafe and received ten million Yuan]


    '' Look at this bastard. He is already loaded to the brim.'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort inwardly.


    Fu Ning followed his gaze as she looked at Xu Da. " He is Mr. Xu Da-"


    " The head of the executive department." Jia Hao finished her sentence, Making Fu Ning surprised.


    " Haah? How did you know, Little Brother?"


    " I just know it." Jia Hao chuckled. " Anyway, I believe I have toured around enough. My legs are feeling a bit sore."


    " Sister Ning, Didn''t you ask me to go to your office?"


    " Ah, Yes!" Fu Ning''s eyes sparkled. " We can go there now."


    Jia Hao was amazed when he saw the decorations in Fu Ning''s cabin. Various designs and images were hung around, making it look chaotic yet beautiful.


    " Sister Ning, You made all these?" Jia Hao asked with a curious voice. " They look so amazing!"


    " Aww, No need to tter me so much, Little Brother." Fu Ning gave a sheepish smile. " You can say these are my musings. Some are good, and some are unfinished. I just keep them here so they can inspire me."


    " They are amazing, Sister Ning. No wonder Mother trusts you so well." Jia Hao smiled. " Keeping this up, you will soon get promoted."


    " I hope so. I need more money right now. So hopefully, the project shall go well." Fu Ning crossed her fingers.


    Suddenly, the papers from Fu Ning''s hands fell down, scattering on the ground.


    " Oh my, I am sorry!"


    Fu Ning hurriedly bent down to pick them up but at that moment, a ripping sound startled them both.


    *KRRRRR*


    Jia Hao''s eyes turned wide when he saw the pencil skirt of Fu Ning ripped into halves, showing the perfect bare pussy.


    " Wha-WHAT?"


    Fu Ning felt a gust of cold wind on her skin as she realized something. She hurriedly straightened her back as she faced Jia Hao.


    Her face already turned crimson, one could see steaming off her head.


    '' Crap! I didn''t wear panties today. How could my skirt get ripped like that?''


    " Uhm¡­That¡­"


    Jia Hao was at a loss as he looked down, seeing his little brother already making a giant tent in his pants.


    " Umm, Little Brother, That¡­That was¡­"


    " It looked so clean¡­" Jia Hao nodded with a smile. But then, his face froze when he said that.


    '' Fuck, What the fuck I actually said?''


    Fu Ning was stunned when she heard Jia Hao''s reply. Her gaze also fell on Jia Hao''s bulging tent, making her shy.


    " I think I should give you some privacy¡­"


    " WAIT!"


    Jia Hao turned to leave, but Fu Ning shouted at him. " You think you can just leave after¡­ Seeing¡­.my¡­"


    " I¡­I should do that though?" Jia Hao stammered. " Or, What else you want me to do, Sister Ning?"


    " I¡­You¡­You saw mine, right?" Fu Ning bit her lips as she pointed at Jia Hao''s bulge.


    " Why don''t we make it equal? Show¡­Show me yours too."


    " .... "


    Jia Hao opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. Suddenly, with a coy grin Jia Hao sat on Fu Ning''s chair and dropped the curtains across the room.


    " Well, If Sister Ning is so eager, why don''t you try?" Jia Hao replied with a smirk. " Go ahead, I am giving you yourpensation."


    " Hmph, Treating this as some sort of gift opening?" Fu Ning maintained her bravado. " Well, Then let''s see¡­"


    But inwardly, Fu Ning was screaming at herself. '' AHHHH! FU NING? FU NING! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!''


    '' Gosh, He is your Boss''s step son! And he is a young man. You really gonna open his zip?''


    '' Mmm, But like¡­He agreed to it, didn''t he? I don''t see any malicious intent behind his eyes. Else he would have said something after seeing my bare pussy.''


    '' Anyway! Since the chance has presented itself¡­I should take it, yeh?''


    Jia Hao saw Fu Ning undergo a myriad of emotional flips as she knelt before him. Loosening his belt, Fu Ning pulled down Jia Hao''s pants.


    " My my, That''s a rather¡­Impressive bulge¡­" Fu Ning murmured as she saw the underwear of Jia Hao was pulled to the limits.


    She seemed to be enamored by the size, leaning forward instinctively. Her hands trembled as she gripped the stic band of the underwear.


    With a deep breath, she pulled it down, making Jia Hao''s hardened length spring out free.


    " Wh-What the¡­"


    Fu Ning let out a small squeal as Jia Hao''s erection almost pped her cheeks. Nheless, the magnificent bulging rod stood proudly, casting a shadow over Fu Ning''s face.


    " What''s with this size¡­Mm, the size, the shape¡­the bulging veins¡­"


    " What happened, Sister Ning?" Jia Hao feigned worriedness. " Is it¡­Too small?"


    " Sm-Small? How can you call this small?" Fu Ning almost choked.


    " This is bigger than the toy I use!"


    " Uh huh? So Sister Ning uses a toy, hm?" Jia Hao grinned. " So, How does the real thing look like¡­"


    " Mmngh¡­The texture¡­the scent¡­"


    Without knowing, Fu Ning''s face went so closer to Jia Hao''s shaft. Suddenly, Fu Ning opened her lips and sucked the top of Jia Hao''s shaft.


    '' Fuck! Fu Ning! What the fuck are you doing?! This is wrong! This is so fucking wrong!''


    '' But¡­Jia Hao isn''t saying anything! Does that mean he likes it?''


    '' Fuck! We shall see it!''


    As she bobbed her head downwards, her eyes rolled up, meeting Jia Hao''s gaze. She could see the pleasure on his face.


    Besides, the taste was somewhat¡­addictive. The thrill, the taste, everything made Fu Ning push forward.


    " Mmngh!"


    Slowly, Fu Ning started to bob her head up and down, taking more and more of Jia Hao''s shaft in her mouth. Her tongue twirled around the shaft, feeling the pulsing veins and throbbing of skin.


    Skillfully, she tried her hair to make me morefortable and then started to move even faster.


    The musky scent of Jia Hao''s crotch made her shiver as if it was igniting a primal lust in her lower abdomen.


    '' Unngh! Fuck, This feels way different than any toy or banana¡­The precum, it''s so slimy and salty¡­Mm, but it also got a bit of sweetness.''


    " Ohh, Yes¡­Sister Ning¡­You are doing so good." Jia Hao groaned as he pressed his palm on her head, shoving her down further.


    " I guess being a virgin for so long, you got too much of that pent-up lust, Ngh?" Jia Hao smirked. " No worries¡­Ahn¡­I will make sure you will get¡­A nice promotion¡­"


    " Mmmphhff¡­"


    Fu Ning could only nod lightly as she choked on Jia Hao''s cock. As her sucking speed became faster and faster.


    " Unngh! Sister Ning, I am about to¡­"


    " Fu Ning, What are you doing? I have some files¡­"


    Qi''er entered the cabin as she held a stack of files. But her step paused as she looked at the scene in front of her with wide eyes.


    White fluid sttered as Fu Ning lifted her head. Her face and sses were drenched with thick, white fluid.


    " Sis-Sister Qi''er!?"


    " Ni-Ningning?"


    Jia Hao leaned back with bliss, not caring that his shaft was covered with his own cum.


    Hey, this is a world of eroge after all.


    Such a coincidence Fu Ning didn''t wear a panty. Another coincidence how she demanded Jia Hao to show his cock. And how conveniently Qi''er entered the cabin, which was supposed to be locked.


    '' Man, I love this world.''

 Chapter 233: Capturing The Traitor

    Xu Da raised his head as his assistant passed him a sealed file.


    " Mr. Xu, Miss Fu Ning asked me to check on these. She said it was the summary report of the new project. And she is keeping the main file for now."


    " Alright, That''s good." Xu Da nodded. " You can leave now."


    As his assistant left, Xu Da opened the file and skimmed over it. '' Indeed, It''s about the new project Leisure of Chang''e.''


    '' Hehe, As long as I can steal the main design blueprint and sell it, I will make a big profit. After all, no one will know it''s me and the crime will be on Fu Ning.''


    Xu Da looked at his wristwatch as he realized it was almost lunchtime. Walking out, he sneaked into Fu Ning''s office.


    '' Thankfully, I have the master card for opening all doors. I have to admit. The IT department of Ruiyan Company is prettypetent.''


    He already disabled the CCTV camera in Fu Ning''s office. After ensuring no one was inside, Xu Da sneaked inside and tried to search for the documents.


    '' Hmm? This...Found it!''


    Xu Da saw a file in the drawer and took it out. Flipping it, he realized it was the document he needed. As he was clicking pictures, the door behind him slowly creaked.


    " I wonder what''s Mr. Xu doing in my office?"


    Xu Da''s body chilled as he turned around, seeing Fu Ning standing behind him with Qi''er.


    " Ah, Fu Ning, I was just here to discuss some matters with you." Xu Da coughed lightly as he ced the documents on the table.


    " But well, Perhaps you went for lunch? That''s why I thought I would wait for you here."


    " Is that so?" Fu Ning gave a charming smile as she walked forward.


    " Then, Please take the seat. Shall we discuss now?"


    " Uhh, Sure but...I believe you should rest a bit after lunch. How about an hourter?" Xu Da''s voice remained abnormal as he looked at Qi''er and Fu Ning.


    " Oh, Not really." Qi''ee spoke in her usual cold voice. " Fu Ning and I are perfectly fine. On the contrary, We are eager to listen to what Mr. Xu wants to say."


    " Haha, Nothing really. It''s about some projects and stuff in the sales department." Xu Da waved his hands. " And about the new project, the Leisure of Chang''e."


    " Oh, is that so?" Fu Ning smiled brightly. " But it''s strange though."


    " Huh? What''s strange?" Xu Da raised his brows and asked.


    " I thought you were going to talk about how your wife got ten million yuan a few days ago." Fu Ning pped her palms as she smiled brightly.


    Xu Da''s face turned pale when he heard that. " I...I beg your pardon? Miss Fu, I don''t know what you are saying..."


    " Shall I give you some hints?" Qi''er snorted as she red at Xu Da. " Ruiyan corporation, leaking the designs of Leisure of Chang''e, getting an additional twenty million yuan?"


    The more Xu Da heard the paler he got. His back was already drenched in sweat.


    " That...That''s baseless usations! Fu Ning, Qi''er, Who do you think I am? You think I will betray CEO Su and Blue Crystal Corporation?"


    " Nope, How could you?" Fu Ning gritted her teeth. " Because you bastard already betrayed thepany."


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Enough!"


    Xu Da''s body quivered as he heard a familiar voice. Looking behind Qi''er, he saw Su Yunqi walking toward him.


    " Boss...Boss Su! I..."


    " Spare your excuses." Su Yunqi spoke in a cold voice as she pulled out a paper.


    " A bank receipt which shows your wife received ten million yuan from an anonymous source. Not to mention, your phone record says you are in frequent contact with Ruiyan Company''s person."


    " Now, if you still want to defend yourself, Why don''t you tell us why you were clicking pictures of the documents?"


    " I..."


    Xu Da felt his legs turning limp as he fell on the chair. He felt like all the strength leaving his body.


    " Guards, keep him detained. Wait till the police arrive." Su Yunqi snorted as she turned around.


    " Fu Ning, Qi''er, follow me back."


    " Yes, CEO Su!"


    " Yes, Boss!"


    As they walked out, Qi''er hurried and held Su Yunqi''s arms. " Are you alright, Boss?"


    " Yes, Just feeling a bit...strained mentally." Su Yunqi rubbed her temples.


    " Well, Why not have some green tea?"


    Su Yunqi smiled as she saw Jia Hao walk before her, holding a cup of tea.


    " Gosh, Hao''er...How do you predict everything in advance?" Su Yunqi couldn''t help but pout lightly, epting the tea from her.


    " But Little Brother, How did you manage to find it out?" Fu Ning couldn''t help but ask in an excited voice. " It was like you knew Xu Da is the culprit the moment you saw him."


    " Ahaha, Nothing like that, Sister Ning." Jia Hao chuckled as he took a seat.


    " I just felt that since Blue Crystal Corporation is growing, its opponent also going to be active. And a big project like Leisure of Chang''e, a lot of people might try to get their hands on it."


    " Therefore, I simply prepared a bait. And behold, we trapped the prey." Jia Haoughed.


    " As for the bank receipt, One of my friends has some skills in hacking. So she managed to get it for me."


    " Haah, Xu Da...He was a good fellow. He showed his skill quite some times." Su Yunqi sighed as she sipped the tea. " But to think he would betray me like this."


    " Human nature, Mother." Jia Hao spoke lightly. " There aren''t many who can stand straight before the mountain of gold."


    " Anyway, I guess he wanted to frame Sister Ning after getting the documents. Guess not only we managed to pull out a traitor, we managed to save a talented and honest employee."


    " Aww, You are so sweet, Little Brother." Fu Ning hugged Jia Hao tightly.


    " How abouting to my ce this evening? I promise big sister will give you...a lot of surprise."


    " Ahem, Fu Ning..." Qi''er coughed lightly, making Fu Ning let Jia Hao go.


    '' This old wench, she was already choking on Jia Hao''s cock in her cabin. If he goes to her ce...''


    " Hehe, I must apologize, Sister Ning." Jia Hao winked. " Today, It''s me and my mother going for a date."


    " Ara...Such a sweet child you are, Little Brother." Fu Ning chuckled.


    Qi''er nodded. " Indeed, Lady Su, you should probably rest a bit."


    Su Yunqi almost choked on her tea as she red at Jia Hao. How could she not know what Jia Hao meant by going on a date?


    '' It''s definitely not the sweet outgoing of a mother and son these two are thinking. Hao''er...You are such an imp.'' Su Yunqi chuckled in her heart.


    Fu Ning nodded." But my offer still stands. As long as you are free, you can call me."


    " Ahem, I guess since it''s over, everyone should go back to their work."


    Su Yunqi cut in, making Fu Ning chuckle.


    " Going right back to work, Boss!"


    " Hmm, But strange...Why do I smell a strange smell?" Su Yunqi''s nose twitched as she looked at Fu Ning. " It''s oddly familiar and fishy..."


    " AHEM!"


    Qi''er red at Fu Ning, urging her to leave " I don''t smell anything, Lady Su. Maybe you should enjoy your tea."


    Fu Ning bowed as she left briskly, making Qi''er sigh in relief. '' Damn it, Fu Ning, you didn''t wash properly? But then...the amount on her face was rather...''


    Looking at nonchnt Jia Hao, Qi''er couldn''t help but bite her lips. Strange feelings of caution, curiosity, and desire spiraled in her heart.


    '' This young man isn''t simple at all. He found out a mole hiding in thepany, while even taming an old witch like Fu Ning so quickly.''


    '' Mmm, I do want to know more about him though...;


    " Mhm, Now you say it...This tea feels so refreshing. Hao''er, did you make this?"


    " Just spiked the green tea with some herbal essence." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Well, Since our task is over here...Shall we go?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi.


    " I have nned a lot for our date...Mother."


    Hearing Jia Hao, Su Yunqi got goosebumps all over her body. Her mind couldn''t help but wander into the realm of forbidden thoughts.


    '' This brat...What did he nned?''

 Chapter 234: Amusement Park

    Leaving thepany, Jia Hao escorted Su Yunqi to his car. " Hehe, Mother, Where shall we go now?"


    " Right now?"


    Su Yunqi pondered for a moment. " I am not feeling anything particr. Your call, Hao''er."


    " How about an amusement park?" Jia Hao suddenly spoke.


    " What? Amusement park?'' Su Yunqi was taken aback. " Gosh, Doesn''t that sound a bit...childish?"


    " Eh? Childish?" Jia Hao gave a coy smile. " Alright then, Mother. Let me ask you something. When was thest time you went to the amusement park?"


    " Well, That..." Su Yunqii stammered as she suddenly thought back. " Hmm, Maybest time I went with kids...Seven years ago?"


    " See? Seven years, And you don''t want to revisit again?" Jia Hao pouted.


    Since he had yed Urban Fantasy, Jia Hao knew all the strengths and weakness of Su Yunqi.


    Being a CEO and having a constant workload, Su Yunqi always wanted to have a breath of free air. Not to mention, after her husband''s death, she always felt lonely.


    Therefore, Jia Hao knew exactly what Su Yunqi needed to increase her favorability towards him.


    " Ugh, If you are asking so much..." Su Yunqi nodded with a sigh. " Fine, We can go to an amusement park."


    " Yay!"


    Jia Hao got into the driver''s seat as he started the car. Swiftly, they left for the amusement park.


    When Su Yunqi and Jia Hao walked together in the amusement park, Su Yunqi blushed very hard. She could see people looking at them with an interested gaze.


    " Hehe, Mother, You are looking so good. You are looking like a celebrity." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Hmph, As if those girls aren''t looking at you." Su Yunqi couldn''t help but pout.


    " Ah, Are you jealous, Mother?" Jia Hao raised his brows. " But it can''t be helped. I am so handsome after all."


    " Hmph..."


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but snicker. However, she couldn''t refute Jia Hao.


    '' Well, He does have a point. Jia Hao looks perfectly perfect. His looks, his charm, his ability, everything is simply top notch.''


    " What should we try first?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi and asked. " Rollercoaster? Or slide? Or shall we try the new pendulum ride?"


    " Uhm, Let''s walk around first..." When Su Yunqi saw those rides from afar, she couldn''t help but get nervous. Jia Hao understood that instantly.


    " How about starting with something simple? Like that slide?"


    " That should do..."


    Su Yunqi''s heartbeat sped up as she saw Jia Hao holding her palm tightly.


    " Let''s go, Mother."


    Not long after..."


    " Ahahaha!"


    Su Yunqi couldn''t help but let out a peal ofughter mixed with worry as she and Jia Hao used the sliding cart.


    " What happened? It''s fun, Isn''t it?"


    " Ahaha! Yes, It is!"


    Su Yunqi gave a big nod. But she didn''t knew it was just starting.


    " Wait, Are we really going for the rollercoaster?"


    " Why? Mother, Are you scared?" Jia Hao chuckled at Su Yunqi.


    " I mean, What is...some acident happens? Like you know..." Su Yunqi stammered as she started to make soem excuses. " Like, What if some bolt loosens? Or some fault happens?"


    " Hmm, It can happen..." Jia Hao pondered before a smirk appeared on his face. " But don''t worry, It won''t happen...At least not today."


    " Is that so? How could you tell that?" Su Yunqi stared at Jia Hao.


    " Don''t you know, Mother?" Jia Hao grinned. " I can see the future."


    Su Yunqi''s heart thumped as she and Jia Hao got into the rollercoaster. Out of tension, Su Yunqi squeezed Jia Hao''s palm.


    '' Calm down, Yunqi! This is just a ride! You are a strong woman. You can do iTTTTTTT-''


    " UWAAHHHHHH!"


    Su Yunqi screamed mixed with echoes of other people''s screaming as the rollercoaster sped up.


    " AHAHAHA! Mother! Are you enjoying this?"


    " Aahhhh! I am gonna die! I AM GOING TO DIE!"


    " WHY ARE YOU GETTING SCARED?" Jia Haoughed out loud as he looked at Su Yunqi''s ugly face. " I AM HERE, ALRIGHT?"


    " ALRIGHT! I TRUST ON YOU!"


    Su Yunqi felt like her heart almost leaped out of her mouth. The excitement boiled along with the scream of other riders. However, seeing Jia Hao beside her, Su Yunqi felt a sense of security.


    She finally let it go and threw her head back, screaming loudly in joy.


    " THIS! THIS IS SO THRILLING!"


    " ISN''T THAT RIGHT?!"


    Jia Hao was amazed at how Su Yunqi managed to adapt to the situation. But the aftermath of the rollercoaster wasn''t so pleasant at all.


    The moment Su Yunqi got off from the ride, she quickly rushed to the nearby basin.


    " BLEERGHH!"


    " Errm...I guess she wasn''t that adaptable at all..." Jia Hao grimaced when he saw Su Yunqi was vomiting.


    But even after her condition, she returned to Jia Hao with a smile.


    " Are you alright, Mother?"


    " Ahaha, Sorry I had to show you that...Ugh, My head..." Su Yunqi rubbed her forehead.


    " But, It was fun. It''s been a while since I let out my inner frustrations like that." Su Yunqiughed.


    " Just wait here, Mother. I shall fetch you some ice cream to change the taste in your mouth." Jia Hao chuckled as he went to fetch ice cream.


    As Jia Hao fetched the ice cream and returned, he suddenly halted his steps. Seeing from afar, he saw two men standing before Su Yunqi.


    With his hearing, Jia Hao could listen to what they were saying.


    " Hehe, Miss, You are such a beauty. Yet you are roaming around here alone?"


    " A ce like this should be enjoyed withpany, no?"


    Su Yunqi was wearing a mask. However, despite that, her beautiful dress and curvacious figure couldn''t be hidden.


    Su Yunqi instantly felt ufortable when she was approached by two unknown men. However, she suddenly felt someone holding her waist.


    " Well, Brothers, Is there any problem?"


    Jia Hao stood beside Su Yunqi, holding her waist like a lover. The two men were surprised when they saw Jia Hao.


    " I am asking something. Is there any problem here?"


    Using only the slightest bit of his Domination Aura, Jia Hao simply nced at the two men.


    Both of them shivered as their spine chilled. It was like they stood before some sort of angry ferocious beast. A single mistake and they will get ripped to shreds.


    " Ahaha, So she is your girlfriend, Brother?"


    " What a good pair. We were just talking casually."


    Pacifying the situation, both of the men escaped hurriedly. Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi with a smile.


    " Well, Despite being a pair of bastards, they did say something true."


    " And what is that?" Su Yunqi nced at Jia Hao.


    " That we look good together, Mother."


    " Ugh, Cheeky brat." Su Yunqi scowled as her cheeks turned red. She quickly snatched the ice cream cone from Jia Hao''s grasp.


    " Not bad, You brought mint chocte for me?" Su Yunqi was happy as she quickly took a lick.


    " Of course. I felt you would like it after your...uhm, after the rollercoaster session."


    Jia Haoughed as he crossed arms with Su Yunqi. " It''s almost evening. Shall we try the Ferris wheel?"


    " The Ferris wheel, you say?" Su Yunqi thought for a moment before agreeing.


    As the sun set, Su Yunqi and Jia Hao sat in the cabin inside the Ferris wheel, enjoying the cityscape from high.


    " Haah, The ice cream is really life saving. My mouth was bitter after that vomiting." Su Yunqi sighed.


    " So, How do you felt about our date, Mother?" Jia Hao looked at Su Yunqi with smirk.


    " It was pleasant. It''s been a while since I rxed like this." Su Yunqi was amused as she looked outside of the ss window.


    " Thank you, Hao''er."


    " It''s my pleasure, Mother." Jia Hao chuckled. " Haah, But I am more frustrated that I didn''t got any chance to get intimate with you."


    " Well, Then...How about...Now?"


    Jia Hao was stunned when he heard Su Yunqi''s proposal.


    " I...I was just suggesting." Su Yunqi felt her face burning with shame as she looked away. " You don''t need to..."


    When she returned bacl her gaze, she saw Jia Hao sitting with his pants down, his little brother standing with attention.


    "....."


    "....."


    "...Quite fast, aren''t you?" Su Yunqi was speechless.


    " What? I just don''t want to waste time, Mother." Jia Hao wiped his drool.


    " Besides...It''s going to be so hot if you do that here, right?"


    " Haah...How did you be so naughty..."


    Su Yunqi sighed as she rubbed her warm cheeks.


    She thought being intimate meant she was going to use her lips to kiss.


    But now...


    '' I guess I have to use it for something else...''


    She tied up her hair.

 Chapter 235: Miracle Drugs

    Wh Su Yunqi returned home, she was holding a bunch of goodies. Wh she walked inside, she saw Su Xing''er and Su Lan sitting in the living room.


    " Mom! You are back!"


    " Uh? Wow, Mom¡­Where did you wt with Hao''er?"


    Su Xing''er was surprised wh she saw Su Yunqi was dolled up and returning with a bright face.


    " Well, I wt to thepany. And after that, I took Mother to the amusemt park." Jia Hao walked forward as he replied.


    " Whaaaat? You wt to an amusemt park? Without telling us?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but pout.


    " I¡­ I didn''t know, Xing''er. Hao''er made the n so fast¡­" Su Yunqi wanted to give an exnation. But she cut my Su Lan in midway.


    " Hey, Xing''er, It''s alright." Su Lan spoke first. " Mom never wt to any sort of vacation. She also deserves some rest like this, right?"


    " Hmm, Now you say¡­It''s indeed right." Su Xing''er nodded. " But Hao''er could have called us! We could have all gone together."


    " Maybe. Mother needed some private¡­rxations?"


    Su Yunqi blushed as she felt Su Lan''s words had a hidd tone. Su Xing''er didn''t understand it as she nodded.


    " Hmm, That''s also possible."


    " Anyway, Have you guys eat?" Jia Hao changed the subject. " I have bought some mutton skewers and ck bean noodles."


    " What? Really?" Su Xing''er was excited.


    " Xing''er, didn''t you say you were maintaining a diet?" Jia Hao spoke in a yful voice.


    " Excuse me?" Su Xing''er snorted lightly. " I am currtly perfectly fit and fine, ok? So I can cheat a bit, no?"


    " Whatever, Su Lan, please serve the dishes. I shall be right back." Su Yunqi spoke as she walked upstairs. Jia Hao also sat down as he looked at Su Xing''er.


    " You skipping sses, ar''t you?"


    " What''s the matter?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Miss Qin said I can skip the sses."


    " Ugh, Really?" Su Xing''er couldn''t believe him. Su Lan was rather calm as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " So, What happed at thepany?"


    Jia Hao nodded and gave a brief detail of what happed in the Blue Crystal Corporation.


    " No way! You really caught a mole like that?" Su Xing''er felt surreal.


    " Interesting. It looks like you know the workings of thepany quite well, Hao''er." Su Lan couldn''t help but be amused.But thinking about the traitor, she couldn''t help but clch her fist.


    " Damn it, I can''t believe people selling ourpany secret to someone else. If not for Hao''er, Mother and thepany would have suffered a lot."


    " Hehe, Sister Su Lan, No need to worry."


    Su Lan''s breath hitched as she felt Jia Hao hugging her from behind.


    " Wh you will inherit thepany, I will also help you like that."


    Letting out a light whimper, Su Lan joyed the warmth of Jia Hao''s breath on her nape. Su Xing''er squinted as she looked at the romancing Jia Hao and Su Lan.


    " What about me?"


    " I thought you stay away frompany business?" Jia Hao raised his head and looked at Su Xing''er. " But still, You are talking like I won''t rush to help you wh you are in trouble."


    " Now that''s something I wanted to hear." Su Xing''er let out a smugugh.


    " Hmm, But now I remember, I do need help." Su Xing''er''s voice lowered a bit. " I have some project work and I couldn''t understand some part of my physics¡­"


    " Sister Lan, You can help Xing''er, right?"


    " Oh? Of course." Su Lan''s smile bloomed as she looked at Su Xing''er. " Xing''er, Why didn''t you ask me? I could have helped you in your studies like good old days."


    " Tch, You are mean, Elder Sister!" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but pout. " You are talking like you don''t understand why I am asking Jia Hao''s help."


    " Hehe, Xing''er, I know." Jia Hao stretched his arms. " But Today, I am really tired. And I don''t have the slightest inttion to op the  books."


    " Hmu¡­ I understand. You should go and rest." Su Xing''er mumbled as she nodded.


    After Jia Hao returned to his room, he simply took off his clothes and fell on the bed.


    " Mmm, Today was really fruitful. Solving the uing crisis of Blue Crystal Company and increasing Mother''s favorability¡­"


    As Jia Hao rolled on the bed, he thought of something and oped hisptop. Logging in, he simply oped the Shadow Hive website.


    '' Let''s see if there are some bounties posted today.''


    Jia Hao doesn''t have the same level of hacking skills as ck Butterfly. However, he could still navigate in dark web and program a bit.


    He saw some posts, but they were outside of his realm of capabilities.


    '' Hmm. I know some of the major bounties in Shadow Hive. But wh they are going toe, I don''t know.''


    '' As long as I can make ck Butterfly acknowledge me once again, I will be able to get an achievemt.''


    But at that momt, His phone suddly rang. Jia Hao saw it was Fg Yunshi.


    " Hello, Sister Fg. Since you have called me at this time, I believe you got some important info?" Jia Hao asked with a chuckle.


    " Hehe, I didn''t say anything, yet you already guessed it, huh?" Fg Yunshi replied wistfully. " Th guess why am I calling you?"


    " The herbal extracts¡­I believe you have already finished experimting on them?" Jia Hao thought for a momt before replying.


    " Hehe, So, you liked the results?"


    " More than that¡­" Fg Yunshi couldn''t suppress her excitemt. " I can''t ev understand where did you get these herbal extracts? They are so precious!"


    " Sister Fg, I told you." Jia Hao became amused. " You can''t ask for the source. All you need to know that I can supply it constantly."


    " Alright, I understand." Fg Yunshi sighed as she nodded. " We have gott three types of effect."


    " First was superior healing. The first herbal extract has powerful healing agt. Applying on cuts would make them heal at visible rate."


    " If we are able to make medicine from it, it will be the greatest and most efficit first aid item of the history!"


    " Like, It will give anyone who suffered grievous injuries a few more hours to live. That would be so amazing and precious!"


    " Alright, That''s the first one. The second one, We deduced that it was an ancit variant of ginsg. A small dosage and the vitality and blood flow will increase. In front of it, all sorts of ergy drinks would be lesser than piss."


    " As for the third extract¡­ It''s ev more amazing. It has powerful anti aging properties and also increases the immune system. The researcher¡­Ev he is baffled what sort of miraculous herb it is."


    Jia Hao was amused wh he heard Fg Yunshi. '' As expected, the extracted version of Azure Spring Grass, Hundred Year old White Ginsg, and Six Petal Bright Snow Lotus is truly amazing.''


    '' And I only gave them a small portion. I still have so much with me.''


    " Sister Fg, Now you believe why I am confidt in my newpany?" Jia Hao chuckled.


    " I have to admit, I thought these herbal extracts were suspicious. However, I never expected they are such treasures." Fg Yunshi sighed. " These are like¡­some miraculous herbs straight from ancit tales."


    " Sister Fg, Please ask the team to dilute the healing herb and turn it into two types of products. One would be spray and one would be in the shape of a patch."


    " A spray and patch? Interesting¡­" Fg Yunshi thought for a momt before her voice became bright.


    " They would work great for a healing medicine. You really thought everything beforehand, didn''t you?"


    " So, What do you say, Sister Fg? Still not going to join my Lianshan Corporation?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " Well, I won''t say I am not tempted¡­" Fg Yunshi giggled.


    " Let''s talk about that wh we meet face to face in future."

 Chapter 236: Murder?

    Jia Hao got up in the dawn as he stretched his limbs. Walking down to the garden, sat in his usual ce.


    As he used the Soul Gathering Art, the energy flowed within his body smoothly. For that moment, Jia Hao felt his senses were getting sharper and sharper.


    Even with his eyes closed, he could perceive his surroundings. And that perception was deeper than his naked eyes.


    He could feel the sr energy slowly being absorbed by the nts around him. He could feel the gentle flowing wind, the floating dust particles.


    '' The worldly energy, although it''s thin, it''s still here.'' Jia Hao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.


    Using the technique, Jia Hao used his spiritual energy to slowly stimte the Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    Since both techniques can be considered spiritual techniques, Jia Hao used them toplement each other.


    However, he realized an unexpected benefit from growing his spiritual qi.


    '' I feel¡­My connection with the Pot of Miracles has been increased. It feels like¡­ I can learn more secrets of the pot by linking more with it.''


    When Jia Hao sunk his spiritual qi in the Four Directional Karmic Bnce, he felt a new wave of information flooding into his brain.


    '' Hmm, the chains shackling the weight tes of Yun Continent has be fainter. I guess when itpletely disappears in thirty days, I will be able to go back there.''


    '' However, The side of Azure Sea World, This has gotten heavier. What''s the reason?''


    Using his newfound knowledge, Jia Hao found out the reason. Currently, Jia Hao''s physical strength could be already said to be best in the entire world.


    Even if being conservative, Jia Hao felt there must be no more than ten people who could rival him in terms of pure physical strength.


    Not to mention, he also has internal energy, sword technique, a magical saber, and his mystical technique of Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts.


    Each of these techniques can easily be fatal for normal humans. It''s nothing in Yun Continent but in Azure Sea World.These techniques could be considered legendary.


    ''Therefore, I can''t use them here recklessly. I need to y the game in Azure Sea World''s rules here.'' Jia Hao thought for a moment.


    " Hao''er, What are you doing here in the early morning?"


    Jia Hao remained seated with closed eyes. " Big Sister Lan, I was just meditating."


    " Meditating, Hm?"


    " I have done enough physical exercise. Now I feel I need some mental exercise." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice.


    " Hmm, You are here, you need something?"


    Su Lan stood behind Jia Hao with a light expression. " Not really. I also wanted to have some cool morning wind."


    " I was just thinking¡­Mom has been quite happytely, isn''t she?"


    " That''s good, right?" Jia Hao opened his eyes and looked at Su Lan. " Someone like Mother, she deserves all the happiness in the world."


    " You are right, Hao''er." Su Lan bit her lips as she looked at the sky.


    " However, What if her desire¡­What if her needs are something difficult to provide?"


    " That''s something for you to judge." Jia Hao mused. " Sister Lan, you are intelligent and empathetic, just like Mother."


    " Maybe with a clear mind, you should review your question. After all, most of the time, the answer always lies within the question itself."


    Su Lan looked at Jia Hao as she ruffled his hair. " You are talking quite philosophical this morning, aren''t you?"


    " Hey, You are ruining the atmosphere." Jia Hao couldn''t help but pout.


    " Come, let me calm your turmoiled mind."


    " Ahhh! Hao''er!"


    Su Lan was startled as Jia Hao pulled her down, making her sit on hisp.


    " Rx your mind. Take a deep breath and hold it for a few seconds. After that, exhale."


    Without protesting, Su Lan did what Jia Hao asked her to do. As she tried to meditate, Jia Hao used his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts to influence Su Lan''s mind, slowly suppressing her chaotic thoughts.


    '' The Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts isn''t an evil technique. It''s simply a technique. Whether it bes righteous or evil, depends on the practitioner.''


    After a few minutes, Su Lan sighed as she opened her eyes. " Wow, I didn''t expect it to feel so¡­exhrating."


    " So? Are you going to meditate more?" Jia Hao asked.


    Su Lan grinned as she looked back at Jia Hao over her shoulders. " I doubt I can meditate with a peaceful mind with the hardness rubbing against my thighs."


    Jia Hao was embarrassed as Su Lan got up. Looking at the bulge of his pants, he couldn''t help but exin.


    " Well, It''s a natural reaction, Big Sister Su." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, won''t it be a shame to your femininity if it doesn''t get hard?"


    " Oh really? You want to show your appreciation through your cock?" Su Lan couldn''t help but giggle, swatting Jia Hao gently.


    " Gosh, You are really bing brazen day by day."


    " Hao''er, Lan''er, Come to the dining hall."


    " Oh, Looks like Mom has woken up." Su Lan turned around and walked away.


    " Be right there." Jia Hao nodded.


    Looking at Su Yunqi in her nightgown, Su Lan couldn''t help but chuckle. " Good morning, Mom. I guess you had quite a good sleepst night."


    Su Yunqi''s cheeks blushed as she couldn''t help but rub them. " Yeah, You can say that. I slept quite well¡­''


    '' Because you were masturbating while urging Hao''er''s name against night?'' Su Lan mumbled in her heart.


    But with that joyous glow in her mother''s face and the peacefulness, Su Lan realized they were not fake.


    And precisely for that, Su Lan felt a headache.


    '' Ugh, What should I do? Why are our family matters getting more and moreplex?''


    " What happened, Lan''er?" Su Yunqi looked at Su Lan. " Is everything alright?"


    " Oh, Of course, Mom." Su Lan came back to her senses. " How about I help you in the kitchen?"


    " No worries, I can handle it." Su Yunqiughed lightly. " Besides, I am feeling rather energetic. Let me prepare some nice and stuffy breakfast for you all, ok?"


    " As you say, Mom." Su Lan nodded.


    As Su Xing''er returned, Jia Hao and she got ready for school. Su Lan didn''te as she was busy with her project.


    " Mother, I have left something in your bedroom. Hope you will like it."


    " Hmm? What is it, Hao''er?"


    Su Yunqi was mystified when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    " Hehe, You will get it when you will see it."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he walked out. Su Yunqi felt a strange thrill in her heart as she couldn''t help but spit.


    " What a cheeky brat."


    " What about me, Hm?"


    Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao as Jia Hao drove his car. " When I am getting a gift?"


    " I am also preparing a gift for you too, Xing''er." Jia Hao chuckled. " But it will take a few days to prepare it."


    " Hmph, It better be worth it." Su Xing''er pouted.


    When Jia Hao arrived in his ss, he realized the seat of Chu Yunli was empty.


    " Hm? She alwayses in the right time though?" Jia Hao mumbled.


    " What? You are not looking at your girlfriend but at another girl?"


    " Is that so?"


    Jia Hao smirked at Lin Mei as he sat beside her. " Aw, Someone is getting jealous?"


    " Why would I get jealous? Hmph!"


    " Then how about¡­" Jia Hao leaned forward, gently licking the earlobe of Lin Mei.


    " We go to the toilet in lunch break? I can show you how much I love you there¡­"


    " Ugh, Rogue! People are watching." Lin Mei''s body quivered as her face turned hot.


    " Then let them¡­"


    Jia Hao nced around the ss with a smirk. He most students were either ignoring them or pretending to ignore them.


    After all, who dares to go against someone like Lin Mei?"


    Not long after, Jia Hao received a call on his phone. When he lifted it, It was from Chu Yunli


    " Brother Jia, I am in trouble."


    " What? What happened, Yunli?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " I¡­I think I have killed two people."


    "..."

 Chapter 237 Chu Yunlis Killing Spree

    237 Chu Yunli''s Killing Spree


    A few hours ago¡­ n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Mmnn? Dad didn''te backst night?" Chu Yunli came down to the main hall with a yawn.


    Looking around, she saw no unwashed coffee mug or ash in the ashtray.


    " Should I go to school today? Ugh, I am really not feeling like going." Chu Yunli mumbled.


    The cook already prepared the breakfast. So Chu Yunli went and ate her breakfast.


    '' Hmm, I think I should ask Brother Jia first. If he ising to the school, I shall go too.''


    However, When Chu Yunli opened her phone, she saw a strange message in her inbox.


    '' Hm? Who is the unknown number?''


    [ Are you really Chu Ming''s daughter? He didn''te back for the entire night, yet you weren''t even worried]


    Cu Yunli''s eyes narrowed as she saw an attached video along with the text. With an ominous thought, she clicked on the video.


    In a dark room, a man was tied to a wooden chair. His body was bruised and blood dripped from his wounds. A masked man walked towards him as he yanked his hair, showing the face of the captive to the camera.


    Chu Yunli''s face fell when she saw the video. " DAD?! DAD!"


    Clenching her fist, she hurriedly closed the video and dialed her dad''s number. " The number you are currently calling is switched off. Please try againter."


    " Damn it! Damn it!"


    Chu Yunli felt this was a fake video. After all, no way her father would get caught like that. However, since the phone switched off, Chu Yunli couldn''t help but feel nervous.


    '' What should I do? Should I call Brother Jia? I believe he could help me.''


    '' Yes, I should do it.''


    However, after having a second thought, she didn''t call him. '' No, If I inform him right now, I won''t be able to get the main criminals behind the scene.''


    '' I will simply turn on my gps and send it to brother Jia. So, He can carry cops to the enemy base.''


    '' In one swoop, we will get all those bastards.''


    Taking a deep breath she sent a reply to that person. Not long after, she got a message again.


    [ Try searching for a briefcase of ck color. In that, documents regarding recent cases should be there. Bring that with you]


    [ And don''t call police, Else¡­]


    Chu Yunli clenched her fist as she hurriedly went to her dad''s room. She knew the whereabouts of the secret locker. Opening it, she indeed found a briefcase.


    '' Gu Family''s corruption report, Scandal at North Light Hospital¡­''


    '' Damn it¡­ Damn it, So this is what they are after?!''


    '' Gu Family! I will not let you off!''


    After getting ready, Chu Yunli took the briefcase and hurriedly walked out.


    Not long after she reached the secluded part of the park, a ck colored van parked. A man walked out as he gazed at Chu Yunli with a dark gaze.


    " Get in the van."


    Chu Yunli didn''t say anything as she walked into the van. With her gaze, she realized it was only two of them.


    '' Hmph, Are they underestimating me that much?'' Chu Yunli couldn''t help but snort inwardly.


    Both men wore monkey masks, hiding their facial features. One held Chu Yunli captive while one sat in the driver''s seat.


    " Hey, Check her first!"


    The driver in the front seat shouted, making the one in front of Chu Yunli tremble. He pulled out a knife and pointed at Chu Yunli.


    " Give me your bag and turn around. Let me check you."


    Chu Yunli snorted as she turned around. As the kidnapper searched around her body. She could feel the kidnapper''s hand lingering on her curves more, feeling more of her skin.


    But Chu Yunli bit her lips, enduring the molestation.


    " Aha! This bitch!"


    The kidnapper snorted as she pulled out a small fruit knife from Chu Yunli''s socks. " How cute. You think this little thing can stand against us?"


    " But¡­Where is the briefcase? Where are the documents we asked for?"


    " What?" The driver shouted. " She didn''t bring the document?"


    The kidnapper red at Chu Yunli. " You are taking us lightly?"


    " You think dad kept in his house just like that?" Chu Yunli snorted. " Check my phone. I only have the images of the documents. My dad kept the briefcase at another ce."


    The kidnapper snatched the phone from her bag as he looked at the image. After that, he simply switched off the phone.


    " This bitch!"


    The van yanked as the driver began to drive it. " Where are we going now, Boss?"


    " Hurry up and give the drug to that bitch."


    " What? Drug?" Chu Yunli appeared to be fearful. " Please! Don-Don''t do it!"


    " I won''t tell anyone! Please, just don''t give me any drugs!"


    " Hmph, You yap a lot." The kidnapper snorted as he pulled out a syringe.


    Suddenly, it looked like the van slowed for a speed bump, making both Chu Yunli and the kidnapper yank forward.


    " Ahhh!"


    Chu Yunli deliberately waved her hands, flicking away the syringe from the kidnapper''s hand.


    " You damned bitch!"


    The kidnapper shouted as he hurriedly caught the syringe. Chu Yunli huffed as she raised her arm.


    " Fine, If you wanna drug me, use my arm. I am ady, ok? You can''t defile me."


    The kidnapper was stunned for a moment before snorting. He didn''t bother to roll the full sleeve of Chu Yunli. He simply stung the syringe on her arm.


    " Ughh!"


    Chu Yunli winced in pain as she her eyes rolled, making her body lethargic. Not long after, she slumped to the side.


    " Finally, She is asleep." The kidnapper snorted. " Boss, Where are we going now?"


    " To the main ce of course." The drive answered.


    " Huh? Are we not gonna get the document? The cook said Chu Ming didn''t took the briefcase out after bringing in."


    " Idiot, Can''t he take the documents separately?" The driver scolded. " Besides, I feel the girl is telling the truth. The documents is in another ce."


    " But no worries. As long as we have Chu Ming''s daughter, He himself will bring us the documents."


    " Hehe, I bet the Gu Family will give us a lot of money." The kidnapper grinned. " And after that, We can also have some fun with this bitch."


    The driverughed. " Cheeky bastard. But I am going first, ok?"


    " Well, Are we on the highways now?"


    " Yeah, We are."


    Suddenly, the ring from Chu Yunli''s hand fell down with a nking sound. The kidnapper was startled as he bowed his head, trying to pick it up instinctively.


    However, all he saw was a sh of shadow before he felt a sharp pain in his neck.


    *FHYOOK*


    Chu Yunli''s long hair scattered as she pierced her hairpin on the back of the kidnapper''s neck, piercing his voicebox at once.


    Blood sttered on the ground as the kidnapper fell down, twitching violently.


    Chu Yunli''s eyes were cold as she looked at the dying kidnapper. Not a single emotion rippled in her eyes. She simply pulled out her sharp hairpin before stabbing the heart of the kidnapper again, for a sure kill.


    Rolling her sleeve, she pulled out ayer of fresh doubt over her palm. There was a tiny syringe mark on it, with some substance oozing out.


    '' Well, Guess it did its job. Mm, What I anticipated happened in the end.'' Chu Yunli grinned as she wiped the blood from her hairpin.


    " What? Why did you be silent?" The driver shouted. " Did you start already?"


    " Chou? What happened?"


    " Nnngh, Stop¡­Stop the car."


    " What? Chou! How is that girl talking?"


    " Nngh! Don''t touch me! No! Don''t take off my clothes! Help! Someone help!"


    " Damn it!"


    The driver snorted as he drove the car to a side field. Getting out of his car, he walked to the back of the van with a huff.


    " Bastard! I told you to not touch the girl!"


    The moment the driver opened the van door¡­


    *SWISHH!*


    A silver light glinted as a big knife swept on the neck of the driver.


    *PSSSH!*


    Blood sprayed from the neck of the driver as he clutched it. But Chu Yunli simply pulled him into the van, not letting his blood spill on the ground.


    " You wanted to rape me, Hm?" A smile yed on Chu Yunli''s lips as she stabbed the palm of the driver.


    " You dare to touch me? Before Brother Jia does?" Chu Yunli''s smile became even brighter.


    The driver''s eyes were horrified as he saw Chu Yunli''s gaze. *WHACK! WHACK!*


    A few more stabs and the driver was dead too. Chu Yunli looked at her blood-soaked self as tears welled in her eyes.


    " WAHHHHH! I DIDN''T WANT TO DO IT!"


    " No¡­No, I didn''t enjoy it. No¡­ I am a normal girl.'' Chu Yunli began to hyper ventte.


    " What if Brother Hao hates me? No, I can''t be like this."


    " Wait, I should call him¡­Should I?"


    " What to do? I¡­I killed two people? What should I do?"


    " No, Let''s¡­Call Brother Hao first."

 Chapter 238 Perfect Crime?

    238 Perfect Crime?


    Jia Hao quickly got into his car and started the engine. '' Holy fuck! Did Chu Yunli actually said she murdered two guys?'' Jia Hao screamed in his heart. Imagine sitting casually in the ss before one of your friends calls you for help. Reason? She killed two people!


    Since Chu Yunli already given her location, Jia Hao didn''t have any trouble finding her. Driving his car at full speed, he quickly arrived at her location.


    " Chu Yunli!"


    Noticing a ck van standing far from the main road, Jia Hao understood everything. As he walked there, he could see a thin line of blood trickling down from the backdoor of the van, making his expression tense.


    As he opened the door, he saw Chu Yunli sitting in the corner, burying her head between her knees. As Jia Hao roamed his eyes, he could see two blood stained corpses on the back seats. The blood already started to coagte, making it look darkish in hue.


    " Yunli¡­"


    *GASP!*


    Chu Yunli abruptly raised her head as she looked at the figure blocking the light. Her face was smeared with blood and tears.


    " Brother Hao!"


    Stumbling on her feet, she hurriedly crawled towards Jia Hao. However, as she was about to hug him, Chu Yunli paused. Looking at her bloody palms, tears welled even more in her eyes.


    " No¡­Stay away¡­Stay away from me¡­"


    However,, All she felt was a force yanking her forward as a pair of strong arms wrapped around her body.


    " There, there¡­No need to be afraid anymore." Jia Hao whispered as he hugged Chu Yunli tightly. His palm gently caressed her quivering head, trying to calm her down.


    " Wuwuwu..WAHHHH!"


    Feeling Jia Hao''s warm hug, Chu Yunli couldn''t contain anymore as she burst out crying. Holding Jia Hao like a life saving straw, she kept crying till she gasped for air.


    *KRRRRR*


    Jia Hao could feel Chu Yunli''s finger digging into his back. His shirt got ripped by the tremendous force of Chu Yunli. However, only some white stretch marks appeared on Jia Hao''s wless skin.


    " I¡­I am sorry¡­"


    Understanding what she did, Chu Yunli backed away, lowering her head in shame. Jia Hao took out a bottle of water and handed it to Chu Yunli.


    " Here, Drink it."


    After a few gulps of water, Chu Yunli finally calmed down. Looking at Jia Hao, she spoke everything from beginning to end.


    Jia Hao looked at the video as he couldn''t help but sigh. " This video¡­It''s edited."


    " What? Really?" Chu Yunli''s eyes sparkled as she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    " You mean Dad is safe? He didn''t get kidnapped?"


    " Of course not." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " If that was the case, the police would have reached you."


    " I also thought that." Chu Yunli whined. " But then I thought baiting these bastards and getting into their hideout. So we could catch all of them in one fall swoop."


    " Bu-But¡­"


    " Alright, Get out from the van. We need to clean up the scene." Jia Hao rubbed his face.


    " Why don''t I surrender¡­"


    " YOU STILL WANT TO SURRENDER AFTER KILLING TWO, HM?" Jia Hao red at her. " Then why did you call me here? To make me partner in crime."


    " WAHHH! I¡­ I swear! I didn''t mean to do that." Chu Yunli cried again. " I¡­I thought you would help me. I don''t want to go to jail!"


    " Wuwuwu¡­Brother Hao, please help me."


    " First, change your clothes." Jia Hao took out a set of clothes and handed them to Chu Yunli. He always keeps some spare clothes in his Pot of Miracles. Chu Yunli blinked as she saw the sudden appearance of the clothes in Jia Hao''s hands.


    " These clothes¡­"


    " Just take it and don''t ask a thing." Jia Hao berated. Chu Yunli bit her lips and nodded. Holding the clothes, she walked to the side of the van to change her clothes.


    " Brother Hao¡­"


    " Yes?" Jia Hao answered with half hearted voice.


    " Should we get some hydrogen peroxide and wash the car?" Jia Hao paused as he looked at Chu Yunli. Understanding his pause, Chu Yunli hurriedly wore Jia Hao''s shirt and walked to his sight.


    " Hydrogen peroxide can easily wash off the blood stains. With it, there will be no trace."


    " And?" Jia Hao suddenly cracked a faint smile. " I would like to hear your ideas."


    " Brother Hao, you must not tease me¡­" Chu Yunli lowered her head as she tugged the hem of the shirt.


    Jia Hao''s shirt was tight for Chu Yunli, making her breasts almost spill out. Begrudgingly, she kept the upper buttons open, giving a tantalizing glimpse of her deep cleavage.


    " No, I genuinely seek your advice." Jia Hao shook his head. " And, We have to act quick."


    " I¡­I understand." Chu Yunli nodded. " We can clean it first and get some chemicals to wash the van."


    " The blood has coagted, so it won''t drip out. As for the smell, it won''te before the corpse starts rotting. So, we have a few hours on our hands."


    " We should bury these corpses in some mountain side." Chu Yunli rubbed her chin. " In fact, if we burn it down, it would be even better."


    " Hmm, Nope, we need an industrial incinerator for that. But, we can try using acid to melt the bodies."


    " After we reduce the mass, we can bury it in distant mountains. Eight feet deep hole shall be enough." Chu Yunli muttered. " After filling up six feet, we shall dump some animal bones on it before patching itpletely."


    " So, even if police dog smells something, they will only find animal bones."


    Jia Hao maintained his calmness, however, his spine was already chilled. Chu Yunli didn''t have a single bit of tear or remorse which she had a few minutes ago.


    Right now, she was calcting to pull out a perfect crime like a cold blooded killer. '' I swear I saw a smirk on her face. She just licked her lips, as if she was excited to pull this off.''


    However, remembering how Chu Yunli was going to the full viiness route in the Urban Fantasy game, Jia Hao felt it was only natural to see the traits of a former viiness.


    " Yunli, Are you alright?"


    " Ah! Ahem." Chu Yunli snapped back to her senses as her face turned red. " I was just¡­.stating some possible methods."


    Jia Hao smiled as he looked at Chu Yunli. " You sure have some interesting ideas, Yunli."


    " However, From here onwards, I shall handle the situation." He pointed at his car. " Go and sit in my car. I shall deal with the corpse."


    " But Brother Hao¡­"


    Chu Yunli bit her lips as she nodded and went to Jia Hao''s car. Jia Hao sighed as he walked back to the van. He looked at the two corpses as he simply waved his hands, collecting them in his Pot of Miracles.


    [ Ding! Host obtained a skill card: Map of Azure Province]


    As both corpses refined inside the Pot of Miracle, Jia Hao didn''t even get a bit of blood essence. However, he was pleasantly surprised when he got a skill card.


    '' Damn, I thought it only worked on people of Yun Continent. But guess what? It also works here.''


    '' Then that bastard Li Tao¡­Fuck that bastard! He didn''t drop anything.'' Jia Hao snorted.


    As he absorbed the card, a detailed map of the entire Azure Province appeared in his mind. Not to mention, he also got the names of a few locations that won''t appear on the general map.


    '' Information is expensive. And what I got is really expensive.''


    Now looking at the van. Jia Hao thought for a moment before looking at the fuel tank.


    " Huh? You are back?"


    Chu Yunli was surprised as Jia Hao came back and started the car.


    " What about the van? What about the corpses?"


    " No need to worry about the corpses." Jia Hao chuckled. "As for the van, I also prepared something for it."


    *BOOOM* n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As Jia Hao''s car picked full speed, the van behind them exploded.


    Chu Yunli was stunned at the explosion. Looking at the burning van which soon vanished from her sight, a strange feeling crept into her heart.


    '' Brother Hao¡­He epted me! He didn''t ask about my murders, and even concealed it for me.''


    '' Oh, How happy I am! How ecstatic I am!''


    Subconsciously, her fingers slid between her thighs, feeling a damp patch there.


    " Hehehe¡­"


    With a gentle smirk, Chu Yunli pulled back her fingers as she nibbled on it.


    It was truly a happy day for her.''

 Chapter 239 Brother Jia is Here to Relieve Stress

    239 Brother Jia is Here to Relieve Stress


    As they arrived at Chu Yunli''s house, Jia Hao finally gave a call to Chu Ming.


    " Oh? It''s Xiao Hao?" Chu Ming was surprised when he saw Jia Hao calling him.


    " Uncle Chu, are you free right now?" Jia Hao spoke in a low voice. " I sent you something. Please watch this."


    After a while. Chu Ming''s voice became grave. " What the hell is this? This video, It''s not me? I am on a field mission!"


    " Some people sent this video to Yunli. She tried to call you, but you didn''t receive it, so she became anxious."


    " Yu-Yunli? Is she alright? Where is she?" Chu Ming''s voice became urgent.


    " It was two people. Thankfully, Yunli informed me beforehand. So, I managed to save her. We are in your vi right now." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Thank heavens¡­" Chu Ming breathed in relief. " What about those two bastards?"


    " Uhh¡­Just think I took care of them, Uncle Ming." Jia Hao''s voice became weird. " You don''t need to worry about them."


    " From what Yunli heard from the culprits, it must be the Gu Family''s scheme."


    " Haha, Those bastards¡­" Chu Ming gave a cold chuckle. " They finally pulling theirst straws, huh?"


    " I was on a field mission, so my phone was switched off. To think those bastards would take advantage of it and try to harm Yunli."


    " Uncle Ming, With all the evidence you have, you can pull Gu Family from the roots, right?" Jia Hao asked curiously.


    " You bet." Chu Ming snorted. " Those bastards already crossed the limit. However, with all the evidence we gathered, I am really going to see how they going to survive the wrath of justice this time."


    " Uncle Ming, Send a few police officers to the vi. There is a traitor who leaked the information regarding the evidence."


    " Really?" Chu Ming was surprised. " Don''t worry, I will send a few right away."


    " Haha, Uncle Ming, You must take your time andplete your mission." I shall stay with Yunli till you return."


    " Thank you, Xiao Hao. You are a good friend of Yunli." Chu Ming nodded with a relief.


    As Jia Hao ended the call, his gaze fell on the cook who was lying on the ground. His limbs were tied and mouth was sealed with flex tape.


    " Now, Rot here till the policees."


    Suddenly, he got a message from Chu Yunli. [ Brother Hao, can youe upstairs?]


    '' Eh, she could have called me though?'' Jia Hao thought it was a bit weird. But as he opened the door of Chu Yunli''s room, he was stunned.


    She wore ace bra with a skimpy thong, making her look like a budding nymph. The thong perfectly outlined herher region, capable of making any man raise his spear in attention.


    Before Jia Hao could back away, Chu Yunli rushed forward, closing the door behind him.


    " Brother Hao, You need to help me." Chu Yunli spoke in a serious tone. However, Jia Hao could feel the quiver of excitement and nervousness.


    " Uhm¡­Yes?" " I¡­I like you." Chu Yunli took a deep breath as she looked at Jia Hao. But before Jia Hao could speak, Chu Yunli pressed her index finger on his lips.


    " I know what you want to say." Chu Yunli looked into his eyes. " No, I am not saying because you saved me twice. And, this is not trauma bonding either."


    " I¡­ I feel you are the person who would understand me. You are someone who¡­who makes me feelfortable and secure."


    " Therefore, I am taking this chance to ask you out."


    Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli whose face was a breath away from his lips. Her pert breasts rubbing against his chest, making him feel the bounciness. " Yunli, I have quite a lot of woman around me." Jia Hao looked at her. " You are not the first woman, nor will be thest."


    " Are you willing to share me with other women?"


    " Are you willing to understand me?" Chu Yunli looked at Jia Hao. " Are you willing to love me? Cherish me? Fulfill the basic demands of a lover?"


    " I can." Jia Hao nodded.


    " Then I am also willing to share you with others." Chu Yunli leaned forward as she kissed Jia Hao.


    Their lips met each other with a burning passion, their tongues interwind like snakes. Jia Hao could feel Chu Yunli''s palm creeping up, holding his hair for a possessive grip for the kiss.


    " Brother Hao¡­" Breaking the kiss, Chu Yunli leaned towards Jia Hao, her tone husky and needy.


    " Please, I am really¡­exhausted today. Help me to forget everything."


    " Nnggh¡­"


    Chu Yunli whimpered as she felt a teasing nip on her neck, with Jia Hao holding her waist.


    " Chu Yunli¡­You are really a crazy woman." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Only before you, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli replied coquettishly. " You know me so well. You weren''t even surprised to see me killing two people."


    " I¡­I just think you know me¡­a bit too well."


    Hearing the breathy whispers of Chu Yunli, Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed. '' As expected of Chu Yunli. Her sharp senses are still here despite her age.''


    " So, You want to chit chat only or¡­" Jia Hao held her waist and lifted her up, looking at up with a smirk.


    " Want to get down to the business?"


    " Oh, With my pleasure, Brother Hao."Chu Yunli returned a flying kiss.


    Walking to the bed, Jia Hao put her on the bed, his finger tracing from her chin to between her cleavage.


    " Well, since you asked me to relieve you from the fatigue¡­I shall dly do it."


    " Nnngh!"


    Chu Yunli''s heartbeat sped up like a galloping deer as Jia Hao put down his head and captured her lips in a searing kiss.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Chief, What happened?" Chu Ming looked at his phone with a grave expression as his colleagues called him.


    " Nothing, Just some problem at home." Chu Ming sighed as he put his phone back.


    " How is the suspect?"


    " He already spilled everything. All we need to do is to focus on our raid."


    " Focus on raid, is it?" Chu Ming''s lips curled. " Alright, Make three teams and keep their phones. Ask the team leaders toe and meet me."


    " I am going to modify the n a bit."


    " Roger that, Chief."


    Chu Ming took out a cigarette and light it up. Taking a puff, he looked at the sky.


    '' Once this is over, we will have substantial evidence against the Gu Family.''


    '' Heh, Just because you are a wealthy family from the Capital, you think you can mess with thew and no one will do anything to you?''


    '' Bastards, You dare to harm my daughter? Twice?!''


    '' Now now, let''s focus on this raid. As long as my n seeds, not only I would be able to get hold of Gu Family, I would be also able to pull out the mole in the department.''


    " Unit 1, go to the north side of the building and enter with the search warrant."


    " Unit 2, Remain stand by at the southern part of underground parking."


    " Unit 3, guard the western street and check all the vehicles."


    " Today, We must get those bastards."


    Saying that Chu Ming''s eyes shed with a cold glint.


    '' Now, Let''s bait the fish.''

 Chapter 240 After Murder Therapy (R-18)

    240 After Murder Therapy (R-18)


    " Nnngh, You are staring at me so intensely." Chu Yunli blushed as she looked away. Her face already took a shade of pink as Jia Hao''s figure pressed her on her bed.


    " Why? You want me to not stare at such a beautiful girl?" Jia Hao grinned as he leaned forward as he nipped the earlobe of Chu Yunli.


    " Or, You are thinking of some blindfold y, Hm? How kinky."


    " Ohh, Brother Hao, You are so¡­ Naughty¡­"


    Chu Yunli shivered as she felt Jia Hao''s hot breath on her neck. Her arms hugged around his torso, her fingernails gently tracing on the firm back of his.


    Jia Hao smirked as he gently traced his finger on the cleavage of Chu Yunli. Suddenly, her bra split from middle, showing her snow white rabbits like opening a curtain.


    " Ahhn~?" Chu Yunli was stunned when she saw how Jia Hao managed to split her bra.


    " Brother Hao, You could have¡­ taken it off by opening my hooks." Chu Yunli chortled. " Or, Are you that impatient?"


    " Oh, believe me, I hate the bra hooks." Jia Haoughed. " Besides, Since I ruined one of your bras, How about we go shopping together to buy a few more?"


    " Ah, creating opportunities everywhere, hm?" Chu Yunli''s eyes turned crescent as sheughed at Jia Hao''s joke.


    " Mm, Are you feeling alright now? Rxed?" " Mhm¡­ Thank you for¡­lightening my mood." Chu Yunli traced the jawline of Jia Hao as she looked at him. After all, She also understood that Jia Hao was trying to ease her tension. Even if she appears to be fine and easy going, the inner emotions of Chu Yunli are pretty chaotic. Therefore, how could Jia Hao not understand it as he was cultivating Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts?


    " Buuuttt! That''s enough." Chu Yunli gave a coy grin. " You just want to talk sweet and keep ady waiting?"


    Jia Hao chuckled when he heard that. " Oh, don''t you worry, There are other uses of my mouth."


    " Nnngh?!?"


    Suddenly, Chu Yunli''s body shivered as she felt Jia Hao''s tip of tongue slowly tracing her lower abdomen, all the way to herher garden.


    The slow and teasing nature of his lick made her body ignite with the mes of lust.


    " Hnnghhh~ Brother Hao¡­ Wh-What are you¡­.Nnnnggh!~"


    15:23


    " Shhh! Just rx and enjoy."


    Chu Yunli felt a jolt of pleasurable shock when Jia Hao''s tongue slowly traced the petals of her pussy. His middle and ring fingers slowly entered her sacred well, gently teasing her inner walls.


    Meanwhile, His other hand was caressing her breasts, tweaking her pebbling nippled between her fingers.


    " Ahhnn!~ Brother Hao¡­.This¡­This feels so¡­Good¡­" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Chu Yunli felt like she was caressed by thousands of hands, each hand cherishing her nude body like a treasure. And what was even more ecstatic was that all belonged to her beloved Brother Hao.


    Her lower body twitched like crazy as she felt Jia Hao was teasing her more and more. " Nnngh~ Brother Hao~"


    " I am¡­I am about to¡­"


    " Ahnnn!~"


    Spring water gushed out from herher region as Chu Yunli''s entire body trembled with bliss. Jia Hao held her waist as support as he lifted her a bit, rubbing her chin.


    " So, Did you like the appetizer?"


    " Ahhnn¡­Ahnnnnn¡­More than¡­enough¡­" Chu Yunli mewled as she hugged Jia Hao back.


    " Well, Then you will definitely like the main course." Jia Hao grinned as he parted Chu Yunli''s legs, making herpletely exposed under her eyes.


    " Nngh, Brother Hao¡­Please be¡­Gentle." Chu Yunli whispered as she looked away, her cheeks burning with rosy shade.


    " Of course, I will be¡­"


    Chu Yunli gasped as she felt something hard and throbbing sliding on her puffy slit. However, instead of parting herher petals and pushing it, it kept sliding on the petals, like a teaseful caress.


    "Mmngh! Brother Hao¡­You are such a tease¡­" Only half recovered from her previous orgasm, Chu Yunli couldn''t help but pour cutely. " It''s aching so much down there."


    " Then what do you want me to do, hm?" Jia Hao grinned as he licked the earlobe of Chu Yunli.


    " You!! You want me to¡­say aloud?" Chu Yunli sighed as she understood Jia Hao''s ploy.


    " Ungh¡­Fine!" Chu Yunli mumbled. " Brother Hao¡­I want you to put¡­put it in."


    " Put what in where?"


    Chu Yunli bit her lips when she heard Jia Hao''s question. She finally replied after a huff.


    " Brother Hao¡­Shove your cock in my inviting pussy and pound me to oblivion."


    Jia Hao paused when he heard that. " Wow, That''s¡­Pretty straightforward. Where did you hear those words?"


    " What? Surprised?" Chu Yunli smirked. " Just because it''s my first time doesn''t mean I don''t know the process~"


    " Then¡­" Jia Hao grinned. " Let''s see how much you know."


    " Ahhnn~ It''s¡­It''s going in~ AHHN~"


    Chu Yunli''s body jolted with a bolt of pleasure, which made her entire form stun for a moment. Jia Hao''s manhood parted her lips as it pushed inside, touching the parts she never felt.


    The stinging pain of her deflowering made her wince. However, With Jia Hao''s handling, the sting of pain soon faded, and only the sensation of bliss remained.


    As Jia Hao started to move his hips, Chu Yunli felt her brain might melt from the overwhelming sensation.


    " Nnngaahh!~ Brother Hao¡­Ahnn!~ You are so¡­tightly fit¡­"


    " It feels like¡­You are widening my inner walls. Ahhnn!~"


    After a few minutes of slow pace, Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli who was twitching under him. " Are you alright now?"


    " Ahn¡­Yes¡­" Chu Yunli held the shoulders of Jia Hao as she looked into his eyes.


    " Now, Brother Jia¡­You can¡­increase your pace¡­"


    " Haha! I was waiting for that."


    *A few minutester*


    *PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP!*


    The sound of flesh pping against each other echoed across the room. Jia Hao''s body moved vigorously, but Chu Yunli was equally matching his rhythm.


    " AHHN!~ AHHNN~ NNGHH~ BROTHER HAO! IT FEELS¡­.AHNN!~"


    Chu Yunli''s hair scattered on the pillow as she could feel Jia Hao''s rod hammering inside her pussy. Her velvety wall gripped the meat rod, milking it like a silken vice.


    " Yes! Yes! Ahnnn! Brother Hao! Harder! More Harder!"


    Chu Yunli felt like she was having the best time of her life. At first, she had a bit trouble of amodating Jia Hao''s manhood inside her.


    However, when she got adjusted, she could feel the pleasure throughout her body. Each of Jia Hao''s thrusts scraped her inner walls tightly, grazing against the pleasure points inside her sacred well.


    " Ahhn! Haannghh! Brother Hao¡­ I am about toe once again¡­" " Brother Hao¡­" Chu Yunli panted as she looked at Jia Hao with rolling eyes. " Brother Hao¡­Let''s¡­do¡­together¡­"


    " Huh?" Jia Hao was startled, but her pace didn''t slow. " You want me to¡­Come inside?"


    " Hehe~ What do you think?~"


    Jia Hao suddenly realized Chu Yunli''s legs were locked around her waist, blocking his path of retreat.


    " What happened, Brother Hao?" Chu Yunli grinned. " Are you afraid of taking responsibility?"


    " Not really." Jia Hao chuckled. " If that''s what you want¡­"


    " Ahhnn!~ AHNNN~ BROTHER HAO! AHNN!~"


    Jia Hao suddenly increased his thrusts as he pressed his face on the jiggling breasts of Chu Yunli.


    " AHHNNN!~" The pleasure from herher region along with Jia Hao''s suckling of her breasts, Chu Yunli felt her second orgasm was approaching rapidly.


    " BrotherHao! I am¡­I am cumming!~"


    " I am cumming too!!"


    Chu Yunli moaned loudly as her legs wrapped around Jia Hao''s waist tightly, her fleshly walls milking him for everyst drop.


    A gush of warm fluid filled inside her, making her sacred well flood. Her own juice mixed with Jia Hao''s potent fluid, making an intoxicatingbination inside her.


    Her legs slowly ckened as Chu Yunlyy sprawled on the bed, her boy twitching due to the aftermath of the orgasm. " Hannnnhh! Hnnnghhh!~"


    Jia Hao slowly pulled out his manhood with a wet pop from her pussy, making the mixed fluid drip down from her puffy cheeks decadently.


    As Jia Hao rolled over, both he and Chu Yunli remained on the bed side by side, naked and sweaty.


    " That¡­ That was¡­so good." Chu Yunli panted as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " So, Are you satisfied now?" Jia Hao looked at Chu Yunli as he smiled.


    " I have¡­to admit." Chu Yunli leaned on Jia Hao''s broad chest, gently resting her head on it.


    " However¡­I feel¡­I mean¡­" Chu Yunli blushed as she didn''t continued.


    Jia Hao raised his brows when he heard that.


    " Hoho, Someone wants a round two, huh?"

 Chapter 241 Resignation

    241 Resignation


    " Darling, Get up. Nngh~ It''s already evening¡­"


    Jia Hao slowly opened his eyes as he felt tender peppering kisses on his face and neck.


    " Mmh, Yunli, That tickles¡­" Raising his hands, he wrapped them around Chu Yunli''s body, who was sleeping on his chest like azy kitten. Chu Yunli raised her head, looking at Jia Hao with limpid eyes.


    " You are really a beast on the bed, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli murmured as she rubbed Jia Hao''s lips. " Ungh¡­I didn''t realize earlier¡­ But now it kinda¡­stings."


    " How could you realize when you were urging me to gofaster and harder?"


    " Brother Hao!" Chu Yunli''s face burned with red as she pinched his chin. " How-How can you talk so crassly? I didn''t say anything like that¡­"


    " Did I?"


    Jia Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. " Well, Whatever you want to believe."


    " Mmm, Let''s get up. Dad might be returning right now¡­"


    Jia Hao''s eyes gained a bit more rity as he slowly got up. " Ah, That¡­ Yes, you are right."


    " Then, What about a shower?"


    Chu Yunli nodded. " You go first, Brother Hao. I will go after you."


    " Who said I am going alone?"


    " Ahhhh!~"


    Chu Yunli lets out a surprised yelp when Jia Hao sweeps her off from the bed, carrying her like a princess.


    The bedsheet fell from her body like a silken cover, revealing her nude body in Jia Hao''s arms in all glory. " Brother Hao, you are so naughty." Chu Yunli wrapped her arms around Jia Hao''s neck as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.


    " Hmph! I guess you ensnared quite a girl like this, no?"


    " Ensnared? Such a bold term!" Jia Hao feigned shock. " The girls are attracted to me. It wouldn''t be manly if I reject them, right?"


    " Besides, my heart is very big." Jia Hao teased her. " So, there won''t be any problem with amodation in it."


    "Bah! Pervert!"


    " Oh, believe me, You are going to see a lot more."


    The ss door closed as two figures intertwined in the steamy shower room.

    " Ah, Uncle Chu, You are back."


    "Xiao Hao, You are still here?" Chu Ming was surprised as he saw Jia Hao sitting on the sofa.


    " How can I leave, Uncle Chu?'' Jia Hao shrugged. " I had to wait and keep guard here till you return."


    " Yunli is resting upstairs. If you want, you can meet her." Jia Hao spoke. " Shall I brew some coffee for you?"


    " Not really." Chu Ming shook his head as he sat on the sofa. " I am just d you helped out Yunli, Xiao Hao. Hope you aren''t troubled."


    " It''s fine, Uncle Chu. We all are childhood friends. It''s natural for us to help each other." Jia Hao spoke. " But what about you? Did your work go sessfully?"


    " You bet?" Chu Ming chuckled. " Everything went perfectly."


    " So, The Gu Family is now doomed?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " Of course. Although the Gu Family is powerful,even they can''t escape this time." Chu Ming replied with a devious grin.


    After that, Chu Ming recounted the police operation. As he suspected a mole, he divided the mission team into three groups.


    However, each group received different information and instructions from him. And he also didn''t allow the group members to interact with each other. During the raid, the police entered the main building with the search warrant. However, despite their searching, they couldn''t find anything else.


    " However, a group of people in an SUV tried to escape through the south gate. Unfortunately for them, they walked right into my trap." Chu Ming gave a smug grin.


    " The team 2 knew that team 3 was guarding west street. However, I purposely changed it to the southern street."


    " Therefore, when the culprit tried to escape from the south street, I understood that the mole was in team 2." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " And since I managed to narrow down the range of the suspects, finding out the mole was pretty easy."


    " Gu Family indeed embroiled with crime." Jia Hao nodded. " However, Uncle Chu needs to be careful. Because Gu Family has several allies."


    " Not to mention, they also have some ties in the underworld. Otherwise, how could they attack the police and Cu Yunli so casually?"


    " It looks like you know quite a lot about the Gu Family, Xiao Hao." Chu Ming stared at Jia Hao. " Well, I happen to have some informants here and there." Jia Hao smiled. " I hope Uncle Chu would understand."


    " However, You are right." Chu Ming nodded. " I might face some bacsh. But I really don''t care."


    " Crime and justice are just the two sides of the same coin. There are lot of shady areas in this world, where police can''t reach even if they wanted."


    Chu Ming''s expression turned grave, " However, Gu Family with their human exploitation went too far. And it was necessary to make an example out of them."


    As he was speaking, his phone suddenly rang. Chu Ming''s eyes squinted as he picked up the phone.


    " Yes, Sir¡­I see."


    " I did what''s my duty. And I don''t regret it a single bit." Chu Ming replied as he ended the call. However, he couldn''t see it afterward.


    " What happened, Uncle Chu?" Jia Hao became curious.


    " Well, Guess the higher ups finally made their move." Chu Ming chuckled bitterly. " The Gu Family won''t escape this time. However, I won''t escape the crossfire either."


    " I got an offer of voluntary retirement."


    Jia Hao chuckled as he also understood how much voluntary this was. " Well, Uncle Chu, I guess you expected that? After all, in the forest, the straightest tree gets cut down first."


    " That''s true." Chu Ming gave a lightugh. " Perhaps I have been far too righteous and rigid. Not many like those things in our department."


    " Well, You got this vi and Yunli. Perhaps, You should also take a break." Jia Hao proposed. " After all, retiring as the Chief of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Department is rather prestigious."


    " Besides, You can also use this chance to finally get some free time. Go around and see the country or spend some time with Yunli."


    Chu Ming heard Jia Hao as he fell into thought. " Hmm, What you said is doable. Perhaps I am really getting old."


    " Dad, You are back?"


    Jia Hao and Chu Ming looked at the stairs and saw Chu Yunliing down. Her steps were kinda wobbly, making Jia Hao embarrassed. However, Chu Yunli simply rushed and hugged Chu Ming. " Thank god, Dad. I was so worried about you."


    " Mhm, I am fine, Yunli." Chu Ming hugged her back and patted her head. " Forgive me, I was too busy with my work."


    " No, Dad. It''s ok. I know how demanding your department can be."


    " Haah, I am sorry, Yunli." Chu Ming let her go as he looked at her with concerned eyes. " You are alright, yes? I have already arrested that bastard from our house. From now on, you are safe."


    " It was all thanks to Brother Jia." Chu Yunli smiled at Jia Hao. " Without her, I was good as dead. He came rushing to save me and kil¡­Ahem, defeated two kidnappers."


    " So, Where they are?" Chu Ming looked at Jia Hao. Jia Hao chuckled. " I took care of them, Uncle. You don''t need to worry."


    " Anyway, It''s beente. I have to go now. Mother must be waiting."


    " Ah, Sure." Chu Ming nodded. " Keep visiting here. Yunli likes you a lot."


    " D-Dad! What are you saying?!" Chu Yunli blushed as she pushed Chu Ming.


    " Hahaha, What an adorable girl." Chu Mingughed.


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Jia Hao, You are grounded!"


    Jia Hao hung his head low as he stood before Su Yunqi.


    " Mother, Let me exin¡­"

 Chapter 242: Suspicious Case

    " I got a call from Teacher Qin. She said you left the ss abruptly in the middle of a teacher''s ss?" Su Yunqi looked at Jia Hao with a stern re.


    " That teacherined to Teacher Qin and she called me. Hao''er, why did you leave like that?"


    " Uhh. Because Chu Yunli was in trouble." Jia Hao replied.


    " What? Yunli was in trouble again?"


    Su Xing''er was sitting on a nearby sofa as her ears perked up. " Damn it, She didn''t call me at all."


    " It''s because she didn''t want to trouble you." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " What? How could she do that?" Su Xing''er couldn''t help but snort. " Guess she isn''t treating me as her friend anymore."


    " It was a minor problem, Xing''er. You don''t need to work up like this."


    " But still, You need to take care of your studies." Su Yunqi sighed as she crossed her arms. Jia Hao pursed his lips as he nodded.


    " I understand, Mother. I will take care of it." He looked around with a hum. " Where is Big Sister Lan?"


    " Lan is in her room, preparing for her exam." Su Yunqi replied. But then, she pped her palm as she looked at Jia Hao.


    " Right, I still have not talked to you about that."


    " About what?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " Hao''er, Where did you get those designs?" Su Yunqi couldn''t suppress her excitement. " The blueprints and idea you gave to me, our Leisure of Chang''e would be more elevated."


    " We are nning the product inauguration tomorrow. So, you have toe to thepany party."


    Jia Hao nodded when he heard that. " Of course, Mother. I will apany you to the party."


    '' Hmm, The designs and craft in Yun Continent are pretty unique. Mixing them with modern design certainly created some good results.''


    " Oi, Since when did you became a designer?"


    Su Xing''er knocked Jia Hao''s head gently from behind as she asked skeptically. Jia Hao turned around with a chuckle.


    " Well, Don''t you know? I am a jack of all trades." Jia Hao shrugged. Su Xing''er pinched his waist. " Can you stop being narcissist for five minutes?"


    " Ouch!" Jia Hao winced as he jumped back. " What? Can''t I be a designer? Mind you, my painting skill is good."


    " Xing''er, You are too violent. At this rate, you aren''t going to find a husband."


    " Hmph, That''s thest thing I am worried about." Smile blossomed on Su Xing''er''s lips. " If that person doesn''t agree¡­"


    She made a scissoring gesture with her fingers, making Jia Hao shiver.


    " Ugh, Whatever you want,dy." Jia Hao scowled as he turned around and walked to his room. Changing his clothes and getting freshened up, Jia Hao pulled out hisptop and opened it.


    Entering the Shadow Hive, Jia Hao began to scroll through casually.


    '' Ugh, There is still a lot of time before I go back to the Yun Continent. Therefore, I should properly enjoy the things here.''


    Entering the regional channel, Jia Hao found a post.


    [ Look at this clown andugh. The true identity ofDagger Under the Moon is revealed!]


    Under the caption, there was a picture of a young man with a slightly crooked face. Jia Hao read the post as he realized what happened.


    The users of Dark Hive are all anonymous. After all, most of them work on the gray area, directly opposite from thew.


    The Dagger Under the Moon was such a small time hacker and information broker on the Dark Hive, However, recently he took some major tasks and got a small limelight.


    However, today, his luck ended as he got embroiled in a murder case. The police found out about his identity and it got leaked. But not long after, an update post was posted.


    [ Holy Shit! Look at this!]


    Under that message was attached an image of a dead person. It was none other than the Dagger Under the Moon.


    [ What? He got killed?]


    [ Welp, Looks he kicked an iron board this time]


    [ I think the killer reached him before the police]


    [ Killer?]


    Jia Hao''s eyes squinted as he looked at the murder scene. '' Wait, A cut on the throat and two stabs on the chest¡­ This couldn''t be¡­''


    Minimizing the tab, Jia Hao quickly messaged ck Butterfly.


    [ Are you up?]


    Not long after, he received a reply.


    [ Well, Been a while since you messaged me. I thought you forgot about me]


    Jia Hao pursed his lips when he noticed a haughty reply from ck Butterfly.


    [ Did you see the forum? The murder of Dagger Under the Moon?]


    [ Ah, That guy? I know about that. Why do you ask?]


    [ I want to ask how much you know. Especially about the police involvement and the killer]


    [ Hey, Aren''t you a bit too interested in this?] ck Butterfly replied.


    However, after a bit, she replied again.


    [ As far I was able to gather, the police of Jincheng City weren''t investigating him. It was only revealed his identity as a hacker after his dead body was discovered]


    [ Guess then someone killed him out of a grudge?] Jia Hao replied.


    [ Maybe? Because I saw all his history has been cleaned up. And the police also couldn''t able to retrieve any data from his house. A rather thorough cleanup, you see?]


    [ Something like a kill switch?] Jia Hao probed.


    [ I told you what you wanted to know. It''s my turn now] ck Butterfly hurriedly typed.


    Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin


    [ So, Do you know any other gossip? Come on, give me some juicy information]


    [ Sorry, I am not someone who is interested in collecting BL stories]


    Jia Hao''s expression turned slightly soured as some unpleasant memories of his reincarnation as Kim Hyusung appeared in his mind.


    '' Ugh, The entertainment industry can be crazy sometimes.'' Jia Hao sighed in his heart.


    [ Then, Give me some other juicy stories. Come on, I am sure you have plenty of it. Like, Who are the girls who constantly post your picture in their stories?]


    [ Are they really your sisters?]


    Jia Hao pursed his lips when he saw the message.


    [ What do you think?]


    [...No way¡­NO FUCKING WAY! Are you really doing what I think you are doing?]


    [ Think whatever you want] Jia Hao gave a shrugging emoji.


    [ You nasty bastard! I like it, Just keep giving me details. I like some forbidden romance]


    [ But I want you to do something] Jia Hao typed after thinking for a minute.


    [ Keep an eye on the investigation of Jincheng Police. If anything happens, call me instantly]


    [ Why? What do you want to know?] ck Butterfly replied curiously.


    [ You will know soon] Jia Hao replied.


    [ Anyway, You also need to do something for me. Recently, one of the old vip of Dark Hive posted a puzzle. Help me to crack it]


    Jia Hao got the message and his eyes shone with delight. '' Ah, It''s one of the mini puzzles in the Urban Fantasy. Although the outeryer firewall is tricky, it could be breached easily if followed the rule''


    After thinking for a while, Jia Hao finally remembered the answer.


    [ Here you go, No need to thanks me]


    After sending the answer, Jia Hao went offline. After all, He always needs to have a mask of mystery on him, making ck Butterfly intrigued.


    Hopping off from his bed, he took a step out of his room. But then, he was greeted with the sight of Su Laning out of her room.


    " You look tired, Big Sister Su." Jia Hao looked at her with a grin.


    " Shall I give you a massage?"

 Chapter 243 Booming Sanitary Business

    243 Booming Sanitary Business


    Su Lan was studying in her room for a while as she was preparing for her uing entrance exam. However, Despite her focus, the teasing image of Jia Hao kept appearing in her heart.


    '' Hmm, I wonder when he is going to return. I want to talk with him.''


    " Elder Sister?"


    Su Lan walked out of her room to take a breather. However, She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Jia Hao before him.


    " Massage, you say?" Su Lan walked towards Jia Hao with a light smirk. Leaning towards him, she whispered lightly.


    " Do you genuinely wanna massage me or¡­ Something else?"


    " Well, Depends on your answer, Elder Sister." Jia Hao shrugged. " If you want a massage, then it would be a proper massage. However, If you want something extra¡­"


    " No need, I want a regr one right now."


    Throwing her hair, Su Lan pulled Jia Hao into her room.


    " Mmngh, Right there, A bit harder¡­"


    Sighing in pleasure, Su Lan closed her eyes, enjoying Jia Hao''s massage on her shoulders.


    " I heard you skipping sses again. Are you even studying properly?"


    " Why not?" Jia Hao smiled. " I have already finished all my courses."


    " Hmph, You also learned how to lie?" Su Lan opened one eye as she nced at Jia Hao.


    " Whaat?" Jia Hao pouted. " When did I lie? I really mean it."


    " Is that so? Hmph, Then you better get the first prize in the year end exam."


    " Ehehe, I was thinking of being a little low key, though." Jia Hao gave a sheepishugh. " But since you have asked me, How can I say no?"


    " But what about you, Hmm?" Jia Hao leaned on her shoulders from behind. " You shouldn''t push yourself so hard, Sister Lan."


    " Well, Just because I am a rich second generation doesn''t mean I can just sit rxingly."


    " Oh, You can, ok?" Jia Hao gave a light kiss on her neck, making Su Lan shiver.


    " Sister Lan, you know you have to handle thepany after Mother, right? In that case, your academic certificate is nothing more than a pleasant showcase."


    " If you want to run the Blue Crystal Corporation, you need something more than certificates. You need first hanbd experience."


    Su Lan paused as she contemted Jia Hao''s words. " You already have a good background. So, gathering experience would be much easier for you." Jia Hao exined. " Therefore, You shouldn''t push yourself too much."


    " Haah, What you say is right." Su Lan leaned on Jia Hao''s touch as she sighed.


    " However, I have already excelled in academics since childhood. I can''t possibly back down from the final trial, can I?"


    " Elder Sister is right. But I believe this exam is going to be a piece of cake for you." Jia Hao hugged her from behind.


    " Mhm, Thank you for your encouragement." Su Lanughed lightly.


    " Though, I don''t know if groping my breasts also considered as encouragement."


    Jia Hao clicked his tongue as Su Lan pointed out how his palms slid below her shoulders to her ample bosoms.


    " Oh, Why not? I am boosting your confidence in your feminine self and physique." Jia Hao whispered with sensuality.


    " After all, what could be better than a pair of such¡­bountiful titties?"


    " Ugh, You are so crass." Su Lan''s cheeks burned when she heard Jia Hao''s words.


    Her body shivered in delight as Jia Hao''s fingers worked magic on her heaving bosoms. Flicking of fingers made her breathe faster, and the peaks of her breasts pebbled in stimtion.


    " Nnngh, Hao''er¡­You¡­"


    Su Lan couldn''t endure anymore as she pushed Jia Hao lightly. " Rascal, No more. I need to focus on my study, not your body."


    " It''s not fair, Sister Lan. Don''t you know? A sound body is sound mind?" Jia Hao pouted.


    " Besides, Dual cultivation has certainly its benefit¡­"


    " Bah! Shameless!"


    Su Lan spat out when she heard Jia Hao''s words. However, as Jia Hao and Su Lan were having their time, Su Xing''er walked in.


    " Hmph, Did I interrupt your sweet flirtings?"


    " Oh, Not really, Xing''er. We were just having some talk about study." Jia Hao answered nonchntly. " Yeah, Sure you are talking about studying while being so intimate. Such a misunderstanding on my part, yes?"


    " Xing''er, Don''t be angry." Su Lan soothed her. " Besides, You should study too. Although you excel in athletics and martial arts, you must not neglect your study."


    " Hmmph!" Su Xing''er pouted when she heard Su Lan.


    " Anyway, You bettere to the dojo with me from tomorrow. It''s been a while since we sparred." Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao.


    " Beside, Sister Jiang is missing you too. She is asking when you going toe."


    " Haha, Is that so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " But not from tomorrow. I want to have a good sleep tonight."


    " Just sleep and die! You are wasting your body potential!"


    " Like you care."


    Su Lan rubbed her forehead as Jia Hao and Su Xing''er started their bickering.


    " These two¡­"


    Days swiftly passed as three days already went by. Jia Hao went to the academy regrly.


    Chu Yunli didn''te the next day after the incident. However, she still came to school two dayster. However, when Su Xing''er asked her, Chu Yunli didn''t say much.


    '' Hmm, Chu Ming already retired, huh? In the previous plot, he was supposed to die and Chu Yunli was supposed to turn into a viiness.''


    '' But since I changed the future, I wonder what kind of butterfly effect I triggered?''


    Jia Hao sat beside the window as he contemted various things.


    '' Hmm, Should I go and look for other quests? There are quite some items and achievements I can get if Iplete them¡­''

    Yun Continent, Cai Family.


    It''s been three days since Jia Hao left. However, Cai Yixue was feeling a strange emptiness in the courtyard.


    '' Ugh, He said he will be back shortly. There is no need to worry much.''


    " Young Miss! Young Miss!"


    Cai Yixue turned around and saw Minmin running inside.


    " What happened, Minmin? You look pretty excited?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Minmin panted as a smile spread on her face. " Of course, How could I not?"


    " Remember the shampoo and soap we put on sale?"


    " Yes?" Cai Yixue raised her brows. " How much did we sell?"


    " We sold¡­Everything!"


    " What? Really?"


    Minmin nodded. " Of course, Young Miss, Why would I lie? We sold all the bottles of shampoo and soaps."


    " Actually, most purchases were done by the merchant and noble households. Especially after the advertisement of Lady Li, thedies of noble households are flocking to purchase this."


    " How much do we have in stock?" Cai Yixue asked after some thought.


    " We still have a thousand bottles of shampoo and three thousand bars of soap in our warehouse," Minmin replied. " Not to mention, we still have plenty of raw materials left."


    " Just today alone, we earned more than thirty thousand taels of gold." Minmin gave the report.


    Cai Yixue''s lips curled when she heard that. " And, We can always increase the price. After all, such things are¡­exotic, aren''t they?"


    " Haha, Young Miss is cunning." Minminughed. " Also, Elder Chen from the forging vige wishes to meet you. They have refined the Dark Steel Iron and wish Young Miss to inspect them."


    " Ask Uncle Yang to apany me. If everything goes well, We would be able to secure massive profit over these new material." Cai Yixue clenched her fist as she looked at the sky outside.


    '' From now on, No one shall look down on Cai Family.''

 Chapter 244 Suspicious Jincheng City

    244 Suspicious Jincheng City


    Next day, Early morning. Jia Hao and Su Xing''er were in the Southern Edge Dojo. As usual, Su Xing''er was sparring with the dojo members under Jiang Ruoyou.


    " Not bad, Xing''er. Your moves have be more fluid. Each move connected with another like a thread." Jiang Ruoyou nodded as she looked at Su Xing''er''s moves.


    " Haha, Sister Ruoyou you are praising me too much." Su Xing''er wiped her sweat as she looked at Jiang Ruoyou. " You have also made improvements in your Eight Trigram Palms."


    " But you can''t deny that you have talent in athletics and martial arts." Jiang Ruoyou smiled. " In future, You can even win national level tournaments and even aim for international glory."


    " However, Where is thatzy brother of yours?" Jiang Ruoyou muttered. " Still in gym?"


    " Probably." Su Xing''er nodded. However, her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Jiang Ruoyou. '' I should probably ask her when she is alone.''


    Meanwhile, Jia Hao was having a chilling time in the gym upstairs.


    " Yo! Little Brother Jia is back."


    " Look at me! I can clealy bench press twice the weight as before."


    Jia Hao nodded with a smile as he helped everyone in their postures. " Not bad, You guys weren''t cking at all."


    " You there, Adjust your arms a bit. Your lower body should be rxed."


    " Ah, keep your legs straight, else you will have pain there."


    The new members in the gym were surprised at how everyone friendly with someone as young as Jia Hao.


    " You don''t know him. He is an absolute beast." One of the older members noticed their gazes as heughed lightly.


    " Despite his appearance, I doubt there is anyone who can rival his strength here."


    " He even won the national martial arts tournament, folding everyone in half."


    " No way, Are you telling the truth?"


    The man snorted as he chugged his protein shake. " Why would I lie? You can see the image in the dojo''s hallway."


    Jia Hao did some casual exercises while chatting with others. After all, his body was already so strong that regr gym equipments are nothing more than toys for him.


    '' Either I have to use some state of the art facilities or train in Yun Continent. Otherwise growing my strength in regr way would be impossible.''


    " Uhm, Hello."


    Jia Hao raised her head and saw a beautifuldy in tight leggings and top. Her hair was tied in a pony tail, making her look quite good.


    " I saw you helping everyone in their exercises. I am a bit new here, so¡­"


    Jia Hao got up as he put the towel on his nape. " Of course, Just tell me where you are having the problem. I all here to help you."


    Standing behind her, Jia Hao helped her to adjust her posture. Not to mention, when she was stretching, Jia Hao gave her pointers.


    Of course, there were quite a lot of idental touches while helping her. However, The girl cooperated fully with Jia Hao, so there were no problems at all.


    " Thanks you so much for today. I wonder if I can have your number?"


    " Well, Why not?" Jia Hao chuckled. However, the moment was interrupted by a cough.


    " Looks like I interrupted?"


    " Oh, Not really, Sister Jiang." Jia Hao pursed his lips as he looked at Jiang Ruoyou. The sh of envy was right in her eyes.


    Before the woman could do anything, Jiang Ruoyou dragged Jia Hao away.


    Entering her cabin, Jia Hao suddenly spun Jiang Ruoyou, holding her waist. Looking at her face with appreciation, Jia Haoughed.


    " Well, Dojo Master Jiang missed me, eh?"


    " Bah, Who would miss you?"


    Jiang Ruoyou couldn''t help but snort. But when Jia Hao''s embrace became more intimate, a soft gasp escaped from her lips.


    " Ooh, Feisty, huh?" Jia Hao chuckled at her struggle. " Not bad, You improved quite a lot in the Eight Trigram Palms. You can actually utilize all your body energy in your palms."


    " Hmph, Still not enough to beat you." Jiang Ruoyou snorted lightly.


    " Well, In terms of strength, you can''t defeat me yet." Jia Hao grinned. " But on the bed, you can try defeating me."


    " Bah! Shameless!" Jiang Ruoyou''s face turned red when she heard that. However, when Jia Hao''s breath ghosted on her neck, a shiver ran down her body, making her feel how much she is craving for him.


    " Hmph, You must be seeing other women in the meantime, no?" Jiang Ruoyou pouted. " You don''t care about me at all." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Aw, Don''t say that." Jia Hao let her go. " I just feel I need to do something else to grow my strength. But don''t worry, I will keep checking on you."


    " After all¡­" Jia Hao''s voice lowered, and so did his hands below Jiang Ruoyou''s waist.


    " I still have to keep training you in martial arts¡­Both on arena and bedroom."


    " You better do." Jiang Ruoyou crossed her arms, looking at Jia Hao.


    " I have to recruit some trainer now. And besides, I am leaving the Eastern Sea City for a few days."


    " Huh? Why?"


    " Just some work rted things." Jiang Ruoyou spoke. " You know, I need to expand the influence of our dojo."


    Jia Hao used his Sage''s Divine Eyes and looked at Jiang Ruoyou.


    '' Thank god, There isn''t anything bad going to happen to her.'' Jia Hao sighed inwardly.


    " Fine, But you need to call me if anything happens, alright?"


    " Alright."


    Before Jiang Ruoyou could react, Jia Hao pulled her into his embrace and kissed her. When Jia Hao came out of the cabin, he saw Su Xing''er standing outside.


    " Sister Jiang is inside?"


    " Yeah, We were just¡­"


    " Discussing things?"


    Su Xing''er cut in, making Jia Hao speechless. '' This girl, she has been quite perceptive.''


    " Sister Jiang, I wanted to talk something with you."


    Without minding his expression, Su Xing''er walked in nonchntly. Even when they returned from the dojo, Su Xing''er didn''t say anything regarding that.


    " What? I can''t always be in tension because of your womanizing nature, Can I?" Su Xing''er looked at Jia Hao with a light snort.


    " You already cleared your nature before us. It''s only natural for us to either ept it or reject it. And I don''t think I am going to do theter."


    Jia Hao was again speechless. " How about we go to the desert shop? The strawberry cheesecake crepe?" Jia Hao hoped to give her somepensation for being so understanding.


    " It''s on you."


    " Alright." Jia Hao gave a thumbs up.


    However, when the ss ended in the academy, Jia Hao noticed something strange.


    " Teacher Qin, you looked pretty absent minded today." Jia Hao walked towards her, giving her aforting smile.


    " What is it? Can I help?"


    " Oh, Jia Hao, thanks for asking me. I am alright." Qin Bingyu waved her hand.


    " Just some family matter. I am nning to go to the Jincheng City this weekend."


    " Jincheng City?"


    Jia Hao''s face darkened when he heard that. " I see. Is it necessary to go, Sister Qin?"


    " Haah¡­I wish it wasn''t." Qin Bingyu sighed as she rubbed her forehead. " However, I have to go."


    Jia Hao pursed his lips when he heard that. " Ah, I am also thinking of going to the Jincheng City. So, Why don''t we both go together?"


    " I¡­I don''t think I should bother you." Qin Bingyu hesitated a bit. " Oh, Come on, Teacher Qin. I am just picking you up since we both going to the Jincheng City." Jia Hao jested.


    " Or¡­Are you worried someone sees us together?"


    " Bah! Wh-What do you mean someone sees us together?" A shade of pink appeared on Qin Bingyu''s face when she heard Jia Hao''s words. " There is nothing between us other than teacher student rtionship, ok?"


    " Time will tell~"


    Jia Haoughed as he turned around to leave. However, His Sage''s Divine Eyes shed with an ominous glint, making his mind calctive.

 Chapter 245 Lianshan Corporations Beginning

    245 Lianshan Corporation''s Beginning


    The evening, Jia Hao received a message from Feng Yunshi. She asked her to a cafe to meet. Without any hesitation, Jia Hao went there to see her.


    " Hehe, You look stunning as always, Sister Feng." Jia Hao chuckled as he looked at Feng Yunshi. She was wearing a tight ck pencil dress, with a pink pearl ne adorning her neck. " Hah, You are a smooth talker as always, Brother Hao." Feng Yunshi chuckled. However, there was no way she wasn''t ttered.


    " Anyway, I havee with good news." Feng Yunshi''s eyes shed with excitement as she took out a stack of reports from her bag and ced it on the table.


    " Our medicines have passed the clinical trials with flying colors. From now on, We can start mass producing them."


    " That''s good, I shall soon send you all the necessary raw materials." Jia Hao nodded with a smile.


    " But what''s about the file you sentst night to me?" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao with skeptical eyes. " A coboration with Li Constructions for a new type of material?"


    " Well, Sister Feng, Our Lianshan Corporation isn''t a pharmaceuticalpany." Jia Hao smirked. " It''s a conglomerate, with various branches in various sectors."


    " As long as it''s profitable, There won''t be anything we won''t sell." Jia Hao tapped on the table. " Therefore, You should be prepare to handlerger things, Sister Feng."


    " Ugh, Are you serious? There goes my weekend." Feng Yunshi rolled her eyes when she heard that. " You better treat me well since you are working my ass off."


    " Oh please, How can I mistreat my sweet secretary?" Jia Haoughed when he saw Feng Yunshi''s pout.


    " Anyway, we already have aboratory under us. So making medicines won''t be an issue." Feng Yunshi probed. " However, We need to recruit some people in the logistics department regarding the transaction with Li Corporation."


    " I believe you can handle that, Sister Feng. If there is any problem regarding finance, you can contact me."


    " But for now, I shall give you a budget of one billion yuan."


    " What? One billion?" Feng Yunshi''s pupils shrank a bit. But she soon regained her calctingposture.


    " Hmm, One billion should be more than enough for now. We can also cover the expansion with this budget too."


    " But, Why aren''t you worried?" Feng Yunshi looked at Jia Hao. " One billion isn''t a small sum at all."


    " Well, It''s because I know the capabilities of Sister Feng." Jia Hao grinned. " Besides, One billion isn''t really a big sum for me. As long as it''s invested well, even tens of billions won''t be an issue."


    " How bold, I like it." Feng Yunshi bared her teeth. " Although I have seen quite some rich second generations with huge amounts of money, very less of them could spend this amount of liquid assets."


    " Anyway, You should keep track with Li Constructions." Jia Hao''s expression bes serious. " Our material has capabilities to get into the defense contract with the government. You must not let it go if you have an opportunity."


    " Defense contract with the government, how interesting. If that happens, the Lianshan Corporation would have a giant mountain like backer."


    " However, We certainly don''t want topletely get controlled by those high above." Jia Hao spoke in a light voice. " We are apany, not someone''s subordinate. This should be clear."


    " I understand, We must maintain the autonomy." Feng Yunshi agreed wholeheartedly.


    " Alright, I shall be waiting for the materials then."


    Seeing off Feng Yunshi, Jia Hao thought about returning to the mansion. However, His phone buzzed with a message from ck Butterfly.


    [ Are you up? There is a news for you from Jincheng City]


    Jia Hao''s eyes shrunk slightly when he read the message. [ What is it?]


    [ A strange and horrific murder case happened in Jincheng City. Although the police hasn''t revealed the matter in public yet, but it''s really horrific]


    [ I will check the news. Thank you for the information]


    Jia Hao rubbed his fingers as he looked at the sky. '' The butcher of Jincheng has arrived, huh?''


    '' As expected. The moment he got his information from the Dagger, he chose to kill him instantly. After that, he cleaned all the evidence and left.''


    '' However, No one knew that it would start a chain of horrifying killings.''


    The Jincheng Butcher was a fun and thrilling crime fighting scenario in the Urban Fantasy game. Especially those who yed as criminals and detectives, these storylines were verypelling.


    '' Not to mention, If you wanted to unlock achievements like Eagle Eyed Detective, The Triad Boss, Maniac Killer, or Hidden Informer, You need to y the Jincheng City gamey, the den of countless cases.''


    '' Qin Bingyu''s plot is also going to happen in Jincheng City. I need to keep her protected.''


    [ Ah, No¡­ I am still here]


    [ Why do I feel you knew it was going to happen?]


    Jia Hao gave a wry smile when he saw ck Butterfly''s message. '' She is quite perceptive.''


    [ Maybe? Who knows?] Jia Hao replied with a smirk emoji.


    [ Wait, Really? Then you must know who the killer is, right?]


    [ I am not a god. How could I know?] Jia Hao shrugged.


    However, as a seasoned yer, how could Jia Hao not know the murderer?


    '' It''s just that to catch him, I need to provide all the clues and evidence to the police.''


    There were quite a lot of guides on Urban Fantasy. However, Even if a yer knew who the culprit was, one needs to gather the evidence to prove the crime.


    Otherwise, the culprit simply walks on your face with a smirk while you receive a demotion. .

    The next day.


    Qin Bingyu was stunned when she saw Jia Haoi was right beside her with his sports car. She was standing to get a bus. However, Jia Hao arrived earlier.


    " What are you doing here?" Qin Bingyu was baffled.


    " I told you." Jia Haoughed lightly. " I am also going to the Jincheng City."


    " Such a coincidence we met, right? How about I give you a lift?"


    " I¡­I don''t want to bother you, really." Qin Bingyu hesitated. However, looking at Jia Hao''s car, she had quite some different thoughts.


    After all, be it man or woman or children, such a limited edition sports car could easily make someone drool over it. And Qin Bingyu was no exception.


    " Sister Bingyu, Are you afraid of being eaten by your student?" " Wh-Why should I?" Qin Bingyu snorted lightly. " Besides, Who are you calling Sister, huh? Call me Teacher Qin."


    " Oooh, Sister Bingyu likes to y teacher even outside, huh?" Jia Hao grinned. " Very well, Teacher Qin."


    " Ugh, Now you made it weird." Qin Bingyu wrinkled her nose. " Call me Sister Bingyu."


    " Hehe, So, get in? We willbe in Jincheng City in no time."


    " Fine, But only this once."


    Qin Bingyu felt a hot flush on her cheeks when she got into Jia Hao''s car.


    " Damn, Look at that car! Must be her boyfriend."


    " Kyaahh!~ How I wish to have a boyfriend like him. I would bend over for him daily."


    " Hmph, Old cows going after tender grass. But if the grass is so delicious¡­Why not?"


    Thements of passersby were both heard by Jia Hao and Qin Bingyu. '' Good job, NPCs of ero game. I shall remember this assistance.'' Jia Hao gave a thumbs up to them.


    The engine roared as Jia Hoa drove his beast on the road.


    " Off to Jincheng City!"

 Chapter 246 Money Rocked, Qin Bingyu Shocked

    " Well, I wonder if you have any free time?" Jia Hao looked at Qin Bingyu with a light smile.


    " I mean, I wanted to ask if your work is urgent or we can take our time?"


    " Well, I believe we can have some¡­leeway." Qin Bingyu mumbled. " But what do you want to do?"


    " Shopping? I want to purchase some gifts for Su Xing''er and Su Lan." Jia Hao winked. " And maybe for you?"


    " Ugh, I will pass. You already gave me a ride and that''s already a lot¡­" Qin Bingyu replied with some hesitation.


    " Big Sister Qin, The old fashion clothing you wear doesn''t suit your body." Jia Hao argued. " I am not asking you to wear something revealing. However, without revealing, there are countless fancy clothes ording to your choice."


    " So, Why not visit there?"


    " Why do I feel you are leading me into an hidden date?" Qin Bingyu gave a side eye to Jia Hao.


    " Who knows?" Jia Hao didn''t answer straight. As Qin Bingyu wanted to argue, Jia Hao stepped on the elerator, making the wind drown her voice.


    Qin Bingyu pouted as she looked outside of the window with annoyance. However, her annoyance couldn''t help but melt away as Jia Hao drove the car.


    " This car must be¡­very expensive, no?"


    " Haha, Kinda." Jia Hao chuckled. " Just a gift from a person, nothing more."


    " I also wish someone to give me a car worth few hundred million." Qin Bingyu jested.


    " Well, If you want¡­" Jia Hao raised how brows as he looked at Qin Bingyu. Qin Bingyu''s expression turned red. " I-I was just joking."


    " Haha, Is that so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Anyway, We have arrived. Let''s shop and grab some bites, yeah?"


    *After a while*


    " Ugh, I really needed thistte." Qin Bingyu sipped as she sighed. " I have been quite mentally tired since today''s morning."


    " But well, You look good in this floral dress, Big Sister Qin." Jia Hao grinned as he looked at her.


    An hour ago, he and Qin Bingyu purchased quite some clothes in a luxury store. And due to Jia Hao''t insistent persuasion, Qin Bingyu changed into a yellow floral dress with white peony patterns.


    She didn''t want to admit it, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn''t help but blush.


    '' Wow, I am really looking¡­kinda good.'' Qin Bingyu mumbled inwardly.


    Now she was having coffee and dessert with Jia Hao in a fancy cafe.


    " So, What''s your work in Jincheng City? I am sure it''s not any official work?" Jia Hao asked with a smile.


    " Just some family matters." Qin Bingyu waved her hand. " You don''t need to bother yourself with this."


    " Why not?" Jia Hao jested. " I am pretty free right now. So, if you are having any problems, I can solve them easily."


    " Oh? What kind of problem you think I have?" Qin Bingyu raised her brows.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " I am also proficient in divination. Shall I guess?" Jia Hao grinned. " Stretch out your palm."


    Qin Bingyu didn''t hesitate as she stretched her palm, showing her wless palm before Jia Hao. Jia Hao held it, caressing the soft hand gently.


    Blushing red, Qin Bingyun could feel the gentle yet teasing caress of Jia Hao. " What? Have you read my palm yet?"


    " Oh, I wasn''t palm reading." Jia Hao blinked. " I just wanted to feel your soft palm on mine."


    Qin Bingyu was speechless as she swiftly retracted her hand. " Ugh, You are quite a pervert, aren''t you?"


    " Haha, Maybe?" Jia Hao chuckled. " But I wasn''t lying when I said I practice divination arts."


    " Hmm, Let''s see." Jia Hao hummed. " You are an upright woman. Yet there wasn''t much warmth when you mentioned your family."


    " That means you are detached from your family."


    " Since you said you are going back to your family, I believe it''s because they require something from you, which you are reluctant to do."


    " So then. What it could be?" Jia Hao mused. " Inheritance? They might want you to give up your portion?"


    " Hmm, But that sounds far fetched. Not to mention, you should have brought awyer with you."


    " Ah, There is an even more probable thing." Jia Haoughed out loud. " Sister Qin, Are they¡­Forcing you to marry?"


    Qin Bingyu''s face flinched when Jia Hao said that. Jia Hao''s smile became wide. " Then, I guess I am right?"


    " Am I that easy to read?" Qin Bingyu gave a self depreciatingugh. " You can say you are right."


    " And, You are not willing to?" Jia Hao grinned. " Family can be a huge nuisance, no?"


    " They are. Especially mine¡­" Qin Bingyu sighed. " They want to pawn me off to some businessman to save the drowning family finance and business."


    " Although they haven''t selected anyone yet, I know what''s going to happen if I return home right now."


    Qin Bingyu sighed as she took a deep sip, finishing thette in her cup. " Jia Hao, I am really thankful to you for yourpany. It really eased my heart a lot."


    " Anyway, We should leave." Qin Bingyu picked up her purse and got up. However, Jia Hao could see some unshed tears in her eyes.


    Pursing her lips, Jia Hao also got up, following her back to the car.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Bingyu, You don''t understand. You are already at the age of getting married." Qin Luo looked at Qin Bingyu.


    " I already told you, I am not getting married right now." Qin Bingyu shouted.


    " Sister, You are not understanding." Qin Han shook his head. " Our family is already in dire state and our business is falling. However, If you wish, you can easily help us."


    " Qin Han, So you want me to sell myself to some rich second generation?" Qin Bingyu snarled.


    " We aren''t selling you anywhere." Qin Han rolled his eyes. " However, Matchmaking isn''t a crime, is it? Why not go on a few dates and see who is to your liking?"


    " Besides, Think this in a different way, Sister." Qin Han''s voice became amused. " If you marry a really wealthy person, you can purchase back the small restaurant owned by our mother."


    " Was it not your dream? Why not use this chance?"


    Qin Bingyu was stumped when she heard that. But she clenched her fist. " No, This is just¡­not¡­"


    " Bingyu, We already given you enough freedom." Qin Luo''s voice became stern. " This time, I won''t hear a no from you."


    " Father, But this¡­"


    At that time, a voice interrupted them.


    " Big Sister Qin, You left your purse in my car."


    Qin Bingyu was stunned as she turned around, seeing Jia Hao''s cheerful smile.


    " Ji-Jia Hao, What are you doing here?" Qin Bingyu was stunned.


    Qin Luo and Qin Han were also surprised by the sudden guest. " Sister, Who is this person?" Qin Han asked with a slightly cold voice.


    " Ah, Me?"


    Jia Hao suddenly sat beside Qin Bingyu. Swiftly, he wrapped his arm around her waist, hugging Qin Bingyu with affection.


    " I am Jia Hao, Boyfriend of Sister Qin."


    " ¡­.. "


    " !!!! "


    " O_O ? "


    Qin Bingyu was petrified when she heard Jia Hao''s words. Qin Luo couldn''t help but stare at Jia Hao.


    " I see¡­No wonder Bingyu was reluctant." Qin Luo gave a stiflingugh. " But, Aren''t you a bit young?"


    " Am I?" Jia Hao blinked. " Does age matter in the realm of sess?"


    " What do you mean?"


    Qin Han saw the key chain on the table as his heart trebled. He hurriedly got up and made a trip to outside Then returned with a flushed face.


    " Uhm, Brother, that car standing outside¡­Is it yours?"


    " Oh, Yes. I just bought it few days ago." Jia Hao nodded.


    " Hahaha, Brother inw is sure rich!" Qin Han gave augh. " Sister, You really have good eyes."


    Qin Bingyu: "...??!!"


    Qin Luo: " Huh??"


    Jia Hao smiled. " Ah, It was because I recently started a pharmaceuticalpany and already invested a billion yuan or two."


    Qin Luo (with a blooming smile): " Hahah, Is that true? Then, How far you and Bingyu have gone?"


    Qin Bingyu: "...?!!!!!!!"

 Chapter 247 Jincheng Butchers First Victim

    Qin Bingyu remained stunned as the atmosphere in her house suddenly turned very amicable. Her father who was suddenly nagging her to get married now weing her to remain as a teacher.


    And her elder brother? He was practically fawning over Jia Hao.


    " Brother Jia, You are so young, yet you already created apany?" Qin Han''s eyes sparkled.


    " I was just lucky, You know." Jia Hao waved his hands. " Well, I hope it will role out well."


    " Jia Hao, you said it''s a pharmaceuticalpany? The industry is really growing these days." Qin Luo took a sip of tea as he nodded.


    " But what is your product?"


    " Health rejuvenation." Jia Hao gave a light grin. " A supplement that can make an old body return to its youth."


    " Such things exist?" Qin Han was shocked. Although he knew health supplement existed, such effects were utterly outrageous.


    " Uncle Qin, You will know soon. Besides, Since the effect is so good, the price is also going be like that." Jia Hao shrugged. " It will be only avable to the upperyer of public and elite circle though."


    " That''s an interesting method. A luxury health supplement will be quite a novelty." Qin Luo nodded. " Bingyu, You never told us that you have a boyfriend?"


    " Ugh, It''s because of you, Dad." Qin Han sighed. " You were always so strict to her. How can she say that to you."


    " ¡­ Right." Qin Bingyu felt at a loss of words when she heard that.


    " But how did you two met?"


    " That-"


    " Well, I would love to talk with you, But¡­ I have some other works in Jincheng City. So, I shall take my leave." Jia Hao suddenly got up.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Sister Bingyu, Why don''t you see me off?"


    " Of course, Bingyu, Go with him." Qin Luo nodded.


    Qin Bingyu held Jia Hao''s arm and dragged her out. " Sure, I will definitely see him off."


    Once outside, Qin Bingyu red at Jia Hao with a flustered face.


    " Student Jia, Care to exin what you just did inside?"


    " Whaa? Sister Qin, You forgot your boyfriend so fast?" Jia Hao rubbed his chest, appearing to be hurt.


    " Call me teacher."


    " Alright, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao dropped his facade as he shrugged. " But well, I saved you there, didn''t I? You should thank me."


    Qin Bingyu crossed her arms in annoyance. " Oh yeah? You saved me? You just made the situation even moreplicated!"


    " Well, Se this from a different angle, Teacher Qin." Jia Hao chuckled. " Your family wished you to use you as a¡­Ahem, I mean, Marry you off to a well established man and have some benefits."


    He barely resisted the urge to say that Qin Bingyu''s family was using her as a bargaining chip.


    " But now, You are free from all those worries." Jia Hao eximed. " After all, You got a tall, handsome, rich, young boyfriend."


    " I¡­I am not your girlfriend!"


    " We just had a date half an hour earlier though." Jia Hao pointed out.


    " Th-That was not date. It''s just¡­You showing some respect to your teacher, that''s all." Qin Bingyu puffed up as she replied. However, she could still feel her skin burning due to such a shameless reply.


    Jia Hao pursed his lips when he heard Qin Bingyu''s quip. " But whatever you say, I hope you can keep working as a teacher in our academy, Teacher Qin."


    Qin Bingyu felt a warmth in her heart. After all, despite her anger, she knew that the pressure from her family was indeed quite a lot.


    If things went like that, she would have left the academy in a month or two.


    But now, she felt that having Jia Hao as her shield, her family will no longer bother her.


    " F-Fine, Since you insist to help¡­I can''t say no to you." Qin Bingyu coughed lightly. " But I shall make a few things clear."


    " I know." Jia Hao interrupted her. " Like it''s only a fake rtionship, you are not obliged to do something as my girlfriend etc¡­ Am I right?"


    Qin Bingyu was speechless for a moment before she spoke. " Th-That''s basically all. B-But¡­It wouldn''t be good if you do all the things and¡­expect nothing in return."


    Before Qin Bingyu could decide what to offer Jia Hao in return, she suddenly saw Jia Hao''s face leaning on.


    *SMOOCH!*


    Stunning on the spot with wide eyes, Qin Bingyu rubbed her cheek. Did her student just¡­ Kissed her on the cheek?"


    " You!!"


    Regaining her sanity, she turned to shout at Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao already escaped to his car.


    " See you soon, Sister Qin!"


    The engine roared as the luxurious ck car slowly became a dot on the horizon. Qin Bingyu stood still on her doorstep, her mind in chaos.


    '' This rascal¡­''


    Surprisingly, she felt her anger quickly vanishing as air from balloon. And what remained was a mellow aftertaste of warmth.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As Jia Hao was driving, he suddenly saw his phone lighting up. His face beamed when he saw that.


    " This is my private number. You can¡­Just message me if you need something."


    The message was obviously from Qin Bingyu. Getting her private number was already a reward.


    '' Hehe, Teacher Qin is really so sweet.'' Jia Hao chuckled. However, soon his expression became serious as drove to another part of the city.


    Suddenly, his phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from the ck Butterfly.


    [ Hey, You are in Jincheng City, right?]


    [ There has been a pretty brutal murder case. It''s not far from your location]


    Jia Hao became speechless as he gave a voice message to her.


    " I understand you want to notify me. But¡­Why are you tracking my location, huh?]


    [ Hehe, Just for curiosity >.<]


    Sighing lightly, Jia Hao stirred his car, driving towards the ce.


    Not long after, he saw the police already made a barricade around the house. Arge crowd already gathered around, with hushed murmurs and a tense atmosphere filling the air, Your next read awaits at empire


    " My goodness! Who could have done this?"


    " Such heinous crime. Must be a demon!"


    " Ugh, To think such sick bastards still walking around freely. Hope police catch them soon."


    Jia Hao already guessed what happened here. '' The Jincheng Lady Butcher has finally appeared, huh?''


    A thrilling criminal quest in Urban Fantasy, Catch the serial killer before he escapes the country for good.


    '' Although in the game, one can only deduce the clues from the casefiles and witnesses, I can directly check the crime scene here. It will help me gather the clue efficiently.''


    '' But the thing is, How am I going to join the police in this investigation?''


    Just like Eastern Sea City, Jincheng City had its own sets of quests and adventures.


    '' Ugh, First I have toplete a few quests beforehand and befriend one of the two main NPC who works in the police force. Only through them, a yer can join the investigation.''


    After all, an unknown person can''t just barge into the crime scene and start looking for clues, right?


    '' However, I don''t have time to do that. Then what should I do?''


    Suddenly, Jia Hap pped his palms as he remembered someone. Taking out his phone, he quickly called.


    " Uncle Chu, It''s me, Jia Hao. Can you do a favor for me?"


    After a while, Chu Ming called Jia Hao.


    " Brat, I don''t know what you are up to. But I hope you don''t take thew enforcement as a joke. This is a serious matter."


    " And being honest, Just don''t make any blunder before my retirement."


    " Don''t worry, Uncle Chu." Jia Hao grinned. " I will make your name shine even brighter."


    As Jia Hao approached the barricade, two policemen saw him and went to stop his approach.


    " Hey you! You can''t barge into the crime scene!"


    " Hold there!"


    A crisp and melodic female voice stopped them.


    " Are you Jia Hao? The new intern?"


    Ady wearing a ck jacket over her police uniform walked out, looking at Jia Hao with a cid gaze.


    " Come inside. But don''t mess around."

 Chapter 248 Locked Room Murder Mystery

    Thedy officer guided Jia Hao into the building. " How are you rted to Leader Chu?"


    " You can say we have a friendly rtionship. Not to mention, I helped him to gather evidence against the Gu Family."


    " Ah, Those notorious bastards." Thedy snorted lightly. " It''s a good thing Leader Chu managed to grab those bastards and took them to the court. With all the recent happenings and solid evidence, they will have a hard time getting out of jail."


    " Anyway, My name is Yan Hongzhu. I am the Chief Investigator of Jincheng City''s Criminal Investigation Department."


    " My name is Jia Hao." Jia Hao spoke briefly. " Miss Yan, I understand that you are very skeptical about me. However, I will try my best to prove my abilities."


    " You better do." Yan Hongzhu muttered as they both walked into the room.


    The scent of blood was everywhere, with the room being a hell of a mess.


    " Victim''s name is Lin Shui, A twenty four year old woman. She was studying at the Jincheng University."


    " Last night, she returned to her apartment around 8 PM. In the morning, t he neighbour noticed the door was open. When he went inside¡­"


    The forensics were taking pictures of the crime scene. The corpse of thedy was in very unusual position.


    She was naked, with whip marks all over her body. Her dead body was in a kneeling position, with her forehead touching the ground and curled to her knees.


    Both of her hands were stretched forward as if she was holding something and prostrating.


    Along with whip marks, there are also cut marks all over the body.


    " Looks like it''s not the crime scene." Jia Hao gave his firstment.


    " Why do you think so?" Yan Hongzhu asked with a mild surprise.


    " It''s easy. After so many cuts, the blood spige around the body is so less. That means the victim is tortured somewhere else and then ced here." Continue reading stories on empire


    " Indeed, You are right." Yan Hongzhu signaled Jia Hao to follow her. As they reached the bathroom, they found it clean. However, with Jia Hao''s Sage''s Divine Eyes, he could easily see the small blood stters.


    " Interesting. The bathroom is a good choice to torture and drip out blood. He probably flushed it in the bathtub."


    " The bathroom has been cleaned thoroughly. Hmm, Hydrogen Peroxide has been used. Looks like the killer was meticulous."


    " You didn''t even check anything and guessed hydrogen peroxide was used?" Yan Hongzhu was slightly stunned.


    Hydrogen peroxide is quite an excellent liquid that can easily wipe off the blood, making it flush easily.


    Going back, Jia Hao simply used his Sage'' Divine Eyes and scanned the room. Looking at the cut, rows of information appeared before his eyes.


    " A short, sharp knife, Probably a sharp boning knife. Seven cuts, four on limbs, chest, abdomen, and back each having one." Jia Hao spoke.


    " A very simr way where pig''s blood is drained. But this method is slightly inconvenient."


    " Hmm? What''s that she is holding?"


    Jia Hao''s eyes fell on the sping fist of the girl, as he could see a small stick in it.


    " It looks like he ced an incense stick in her hands after making her kneel." Yan Hongzhu replied. " This posture is same as trying to pray a god."


    " But the real mystery is, How the killer got inside?" Yang Hongzhu pointed around. " All the windows were locked. And from the floor CCTV, we can see that victim closed the door after entering."


    " The only thing we noticed was that around dawn 4 AM, the door slowly unlocked from the inside. However, No one came out."


    " What makes us puzzled that how the killer came inside and went out if not used the door."


    " It''s a third floor building. Someoneing from the window isn''t impossible." Yang Hongzhu added to her own reasoning. " However, All the windows were locked from inside."


    " What if the killer came inside before victim returned to home?" Jia Hao spoke. " He could have remained sneaking in her room. Also, it''s most probable because¡­"


    He took a glove from Yan Hongzhu and rubbed the nape of the corpse.


    " See? You can see a faint hole here. It''s an injection gun."


    "Anesthesia?" Yan Hongzhu was surprised. " We are soon going to take the body to theb for further investigation."


    " Unfortunately, We didn''t find any clue here at all. And even asking the neighbors, no suspicious figures came herest night."


    " The killer is meticulous. He observed the daily routine of the girl and formted a n to kill her swiftly."


    " The rash mark on the wrist and ankle shows that the victim is tied up for a long time, probably during the torture."


    " The killer is not a rtive of the victim. Because there are a lot of struggle marks."


    " Killer probably stood at this corner. When the victim walked in, he swiftly injected her neck."


    Jia Hao walked and found the cupboard in the corner. The space between it and the wall had enough space for a person to stand. " With the size of the cupboard, we can guess the height of the killer, which should be probably around 5''7."


    Yan Hongzhu''s eyes widened with amazement when she heard Jia Hao''s assessment. " Interesting. As a newbie, your observation is sharp. I will note it down your observations and crosscheck it after our forensic team makes the report."


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s body shivered as his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts activated. Along with receiving a faint pink string from Yan Hongzhu, he felt arge amount of resentment in the room.


    " Woooooo!"


    Although Jia Haio was pretending not to see the figure earlier, now with the Six Desires Myriad THought Art, he could feel its presencepletely.


    It was the soul of Lin Shui, which was covered with dark malicious aura.


    " Why did I have to get killed? Why that person killed me? I am so hurt! It''s so painful!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Well, can you tell me what the killer looks like?"


    Suddenly, the soul was stunned as she looked at Jia Hao. " Yo-You! You can see me?"


    " You are already a departed spirit. You should not linger in this realm for long." Jia Hao mumbled.


    " No! NO! I WON''T LEAVE!"


    The dense energy red up, covering the entire room. Yan Hongzhu rubbed her palm.


    " Hmm, The room became a bit¡­chilly. Is it the winds?"


    " You are just imagining." Jia Hao smiled as his eyes darted back to the spirit.


    " I promise you, I will find the killer and punish him. However, If you stay here, you will be a resentful spirit, earning a lot of bad karma."


    " Then I shall just stay this room! I won''t wander out!" Lin Shui''s soul cried out. " But! But I need to see that bastard getting punished!"


    " You promise?"


    " I do, In the name of Lord Yama."


    Jia Hao''s lips twitched when he heard King Yanluo''s name. '' That old geezer, I wonder what is he doing.''


    '' Wait, Now I see¡­I wonder if there is also aherworld here? I mean, the folklore is widespread. And if that old geezer was still here, he would have already sent Ox and Horse Faced guards to get me.''


    '' Nah, Why would he? He was the one who kicked me out of the three realms. Serves him right.''


    " Hmm? Jia Hao, What are you doing?"


    " I am just reciting a spirit calming mantra to pacify the lingering spirit of Lin Shui." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Anyway, I believe the work here is done. I need to some time to reflect on the answer."


    " Very well, You have been very helpful for us today. Here, keep my number." Yan Hongzhu nodded. " Call me if you find anything."


    Jia Hao already knew what the Jincheng Butcher looked like from Lin Shui''s words. Having a ghost help you through the situation is certainly beneficial. However, sometimes it doesn''t works.


    However, without proper justification, he can''t just draw the portrait of the killer lightly. Just like the game, he needs to find all the clues and arrange them properly.


    '' Damn, I wish I could just speedrun.''


    Jia Hao sighed as he looked around the window. First he needs to solve the locked room murder mystery.


    Suddenly, his eyes shed as he saw something near the window with his Sage''s Divine Eyes.


    '' Ah, So that''s how it is.'' Jia Hao murmured.

 Chapter 249 Solving The Locked Room Mystery

    Stay connected with empire


    Two dayster, in Jincheng City.


    " So, Everything good in your family?"


    " At least they don''t nag about my marriage anymore." Qin Shiyu sighed as she rubbed her forehead. " Thanks to you, It''s one of my most peaceful visits to my home."


    " That''s alright. I am supposed to help my girlfriend." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Ugh! Don''t call me that." Qin Bingyu blushed furiously as she pinched Jia Hao''s cheek.


    " Cheeky brat! You really got the guts of a tiger to flirt with your teacher, huh?"


    " What can I do?" Jia Hao gave an innocent expression. " I am such a handsome young man in this mortal dust. I can''t help but attract so many girls."


    " Hmph! Narcissist." Qin Bingyu snorted as she took a sip of her coffee.


    " But I didn''t expect you to really have apany under your name. Looks like you are quite wealthy, huh?"


    " Of course, I am." Jia Hao grinned. " Why? Do you want to quit the academy and join mypany? I can give you a good starting sry."


    " Thank you for your offer. However, I am pretty contented as a teacher for now." Qin Bingyu snorted lightly.


    " But still, I do wish to earn money as fast as I can."


    Qin Bingyu told her story in brief. Her father used to be an aspiring businessman. When Qin Bingyu was a child, her father secretly mortgaged her mother''s restaurant to gather money.


    The restaurant was the family restaurant of her mother''s family, passed from three generations. The rtionship between her mother and father soured.


    However, disaster struck when her mom died in an ident when she was returning home after dropping off Qin Bingyu at the school.


    Her brother resented her quite for that. However, From that day, he became obsessed with money. The business grew for sure, but the family itself slowly drifted apart.


    Qin Han and Qin Bingyu''s rtionship was never that deep. And now, he was constantly trying to marry her away early.


    '' Ah yes, Trash family plot line. Though it''s not that bad on surface, Qin Bingyu had quite a lot of bad endings if left alone."


    For example, the bad ending with the PE Teacher Chou Ran, where she gets drugged and ckmailed till the end. The other ones were in Jincheng City.


    Either Qin Bingyu gets sold as a bride to a rich geezer so her brother can reap benefits. Other than that¡­


    '' She gets targeted by the Jincheng Butcher.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    He already prevented the other two. All he needed to do now was to catch the Jincheng Butcher. And for that, Qin Bingyu can be a good bait.


    " Don''t worry, Sister Bingyu." Jia Hao smiled. " Soon enough, You will be able to buy back the restaurant of your mother with your own money."


    " Thank you, Jia Hao, These words were a lot for me." Qin Bingyu smiled.


    " So, What you been doing in Jincheng City in the past few days?"


    " Somepany works." Jia Hao chuckled.


    He didn''t lie about that. Aftering here, the Lianshan Corporation under the management of Feng Yunshi alreadyunched their first two products.


    It was the Lesser Vitality Pill and Millenium Yin Iron he extracted from the Cold Iron ingots of the Yun continent.


    The Lesser Vitality Pills were already gifted to selected noble families across the country. As for the Millenium Yin Iron, it was a cooperation with Lianshan Corporation and Li Construction Company.


    With Jia Hao''s instruction, they already started to make materials with proportion of 1:7 of Millenium Yin Iron and normal metals. After all, a single bit of Millennium Yin Iron can greatly enhance the product quality.


    '' Feng Yunshi is doing pretty good handling the marketing. After the Lesser Vitality Pills gets its attraction, he can start selling the Rejuvenation Pill made by Bright Snow Lotus.


    Suddenly, he received a call from Yan Hongzhu.


    " Jia Hao, Come to the Third Block behind the Blue za area. There has been another murder case!"


    " Got it!"


    Jia Hao got up with a smile. " I would love to spend more time with you, Sister Bingyu. But I have some work, so I have to leave early."


    " It''s alright. We have plenty of time." Qin Bingyu replied. But then she suddenly corrected herself.


    " I mean, You shouldn''t loiter around too much. Your exam ising, right? You should study."


    " Haha, I will, Teacher." Jia Hao blew a flying kiss toward her before leaving.


    " This brat!"


    Qin Bingyu flushed as she hurriedly looked around, berating Jia Hao''s flirty remarks softly.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Victim''s name is Ellis Wang. She recently came back from abroad a year ago and staying with her parents. Educated and currently working as an intern in a goodpany."


    Yan Hongzhu looked at her tablet as her brows furrowed. " There is nothingmon between her and the previous victim. No such connections between them."


    " The body is in the same naked and kneeling position, with seven marks on her body. Still no spige of blood means it''s not the first crime scene." Jia Hao mumbled.


    " Not to mention, this alley was pretty isted. And the CCTV isn''t covering the entrance and exit. Looks like our serial killer is pretty meticulous."


    " Damn it!" Yan Hongzhu cursed loudly. " That bastard is clearly mocking our authority. It''s not even two days and that bastard already killed two women!"


    Turning to Jia Hao, Yan Hongzhu noticed he was squatting beside the corpse of the woman.


    " Got any clue?"


    " There was an incense stick in her hand too, just like the previous victim." Wearing the glove, Jia Hao took the sample of the ashes.


    " Why don''t you check if both ashes are same? And are theymercially produced incense? Or they are custom made?"


    " That sounds¡­usible." Yan Hongzhu nodded.


    " But I have to admit. It''s pretty rare for a rookie like you to remain calm at such gory crime scene. After all, it''s not everyday a mad killer like this bastard appears."


    " Oh, believe me, It''s not my first time seeing a corpse anyway." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " I believe nothing came out in preliminary investigations? Just like the previous victim?"


    " That bastard is really meticulous." Yan Hongzhu clenched her teeth. " But no matter how much he thinks, He won''t escape from the clutches of thew."


    " But both of these cases¡­ Too many unexined things happening."


    " Not really." Jia Hao grinned. " I found a major clue regarding the first victim. The locked room murder is pretty easy to solve."


    " What? Are you telling the truth?" Yan Hongzhu was stunned.


    " Come there, I will show you."


    When Yan Hongzhu arrived at the apartment of Lin Shui, she noticed it was clean and restricted by police tapes. Suddenly,she felt a presence behind her, making her nerves tensed.


    " Who is it?!"


    Pulling out her gun from the holster, She turned around, pointing at the figure.


    " Whoa, whoa!" Jia Hao raised his hands. " You are going to kill me, Sister Yan."


    " Jia Hao? How did youe in?" Yan Hongzhu was stunned. " I made sure no one was around. Even the barricades were untouched."


    " The same way the killer came inside the locked room and waited for Lin Shui toe back." Jia Hao grinned as he pointed at the open window.


    " Impossible! It was made sure the windows were locked from inside!" Yan Hongzhu became even more surprised.


    " It was locked indeed. But that doesn''t mean I can''t open it from outside." Jia Hao showed a thin wire.


    " This is the key that the killer used."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om

 Chapter 250 Seven Virtues And Seven Cuts

    Jia Hao stood outside the window and asked Yan Hongzhu to close it.


    Then suddenly, Yan Hongzhu saw Jia Hao twisting the thread and making a loop in it. Then from an inconspicuous hole near the window shutter, he pushed the thread inside.


    The loop tightened around thetch and Jia Hao pulled it down, making it open instantly!"


    " My goodness! To think¡­It could be opened like this." Yan Hongzhu was stunned.


    " This hole is made next to thetch. Looks like our killer was well prepared." Jia Hao crawled inside the window and stood before Yan Hongzhu.


    " Right, I have asked some tenants and they said the plumbers came a few days ago due to the water clogging issue."


    " And you can see, there are water pipes outside the window, the best way to climb up here."


    " Someone from the plumber group, or mixed in the plumber group came and made this hole?" Yan Hongzhu understood Jia Hao''s train of thought instantly.


    " Wait, If it''s during the daytime, I believe we should get a CCTV footage nearby." Yan Hongzhu turned around and walked away hurriedly.


    " Come with me, Jia Hao. We need to check it fast!"


    Although they retrieved a footage afterwards, the footage was blurry.


    '' What should I expect? The CCTV footage gets blurrier proportional to the hardness of a police case. Won''t it be bad if police catch the criminal too fast?''


    Jia Hao joked internally. However, one thing became clear in that footage.


    " We can rule out that the serial killer is a female, as we can see it''s probably a male. And his height should be the same as you described." Yan Hongzhu nodded.


    " I will call the plumberpany to see if there was anyone with a matching description."


    " Jia Hao, You are really good at solving mysteries." Yang Hongzhu smiled. " Anything else you found?"


    " Not yet, But I can if I have the case files."


    " Oh, Shit!" Yan Hongzhu pped her forehead. " How could I forget that? You are a intern after all." Enjoy new adventures from empire


    " Don''t worry, I got you covered." Yan Hongzhu nodded with approval. " I will give instructions to my team. Feel free to ess all the files inside the police station."


    " Thank you, Sister Yan. After we solve this case, how about I treat you?"


    " Cheeky brat, Already started to flirt with me?" Yan Hongzhuughed.


    " I really hope to solve this case as fast as possible."


    " We will, Sister Yan."


    With a grin. Jia Hao walked out and went straight to the police station.


    Thanks to Yan Hongzhu''smand, No one dared to stop Jia Hao''s investigation.


    " Wow, You look younger than we thought."


    " Ah, Are you the one rmended by Chief Chu?"


    " Oh my, Such a handsome young man."


    Jia Hao could hear all thepliments around him, making him chuckle a bit. However, His eyes quickly scanned through the files, trying to find any hidden clues.


    " Sister Fei, Can I take a moment?"


    " What is it, Comrade Jia?" Thedy officer named Fei answered. As she was replying, her fingers already curled.


    '' Wow, He looks even more handsome when I see him from near.''


    " Sister Fei, Is the report about the incense stick arrived?" Jia Hao asked.


    " No, But it should arrive in an hour." She replied instantly.


    " Then, What about anymon simrities between them? Anything?"


    " Not really, They arepletely strangers to each other."


    Jia Hao nodded as he kept flipping the pages in the files.


    " Hehe, Sister Fei, Can I have some coffee?"


    " Sure, Why not?" Sister Fei smiled. " Hot or cold? ck or milked?"


    " Hot milk coffee with a bit extra sugar should do."


    " Haha, Craving for sweetness, eh?" Sister Fei nodded. " I shall be right back."


    After she left, Jia Hao picked up his phone and messaged ck Butterfly.


    [ I got something interesting for you]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    [ Oh? What is it? Don''t tell me it''s about those strange Jincheng City murders?]


    [ Bingo! I am now working as an assistant investigator]


    [ Wait, what? Aren''t you a student? Why are you working for police now? What the fuck?!]


    ck Butterfly was stunned when she read the message. She hurriedly checked Jia Hao''s location and it indeed showed the police station.


    [ Damn it! Just how many things you are doing in the shadows?]


    [ More than you can imagine] Jia Hao grinned and inserted a smirk emoticon.


    [ Anyway, I want you to look into the social media of the murder victim. I have the ount and password]


    [ What exactly do you want me to look into? And wait¡­Why should I do it?]


    Jia Hai chuckled when he saw the message of ck Butterfly.


    [ I mean, You sure want to pass up the chance to participate in the hunt for a serial killer? I know you love adventure and gossip, Sister]


    [ Ugh, Smooth tongued rascal. Fine, I will check] ck Butterfly gave a sighing emoji.


    [ Just see if there was anythingmon between their chats or thest few posts. Or anymon inte troll or something]


    [ I will see and inform you asap]


    Jia Hao threw his phone on the table and leaned back on the chair.


    '' Huuu, With ck Butterfly, We will be able topletely scan the online life of those two victims. Tsk, The police really didn''t think to start a search from this angle, huh?''


    " Here, Your coffee." Sister Fei appeared with a cup of coffee and a file.


    " Thanks, Sister Fei." Jia Hao smiled as he took the coffee.


    " Well, Our forensic team already examined the ashes of the incense stick. It''s not a usual incense stick at all, which ismon in the marketce."


    " The stick of incense is made up of plum tree sticks and in theposition of incense, orchid essence and lily oil."


    " A handmade incense? Our killer got pretty niche choices, huh?" Jia Hao smacked his lips.


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s eyes shed with a strange gleam. " Sister Fei, Can you give me some space? I would like to contemte something."


    " Sure, Why not?"


    As Jia Hao found himself alone, He took out a pencil and paper and suddenly started to draw something.


    Despite Lin Shui seeing Jincheng Butcher, the trauma on her soul made her forget quite a lot of details.


    Nheless, with remaining clues and facial features, Jia Hao managed to draw a person''s face.


    '' Ok, Let''s assume he is our main suspect. Now, let''s see his attributes.''


    '' He is physically healthy, as he could climb the pipes of a building and drill a hole in the window of Lin Shui. Also, carrying equipment and corpses here and there also takes a physical toll."


    '' A person with masterful acting skills. The second victim''s death shows that our killer can hide his intentions well behind his kind and friendly smile.''


    '' Now clues in the crime scene. Using an unusual incense, corpses of victims in kneeling positions, precise seven cuts on the body¡­Everything feels like they have some deep symbolism behind them.''


    '' Orchid represents nobility and integrity. As for the lily, it represents the feminine aspect of the nature. A noble female, huh?''


    '' Plum represents the five blessings and peaceful death is one of them.''


    '' Wait, Could it be¡­''


    Jia Hao suddenly realized something. As he was confused why he couldn''t see the ghost of the Ellis Wang. At first, he thought it was because the alley wasn''t the real crime scene, hence absense of spirit.


    However, Now he realized there might be another reason.


    '' Even if the ghost of Lin Shui appeared to be fierce, it was very vague. Without my interference, she would have vanished in a day or two.''


    '' And the absence of Ellis Wang''s ghost¡­It must be the Soul Calming Incense! The killer is using these special incense sticks to calm their souls after killing them!''


    Although these days everyone uses incense sticks for all reasons, in ancient times different ingredients in incense sticks used for different ceremonies.


    " Purity and nobleness of a woman¡­Seven cuts on the body¡­" Jia Hao mumbled as he suddenly recalled something.


    In Confucianism, a woman should have three obedience and four virtues to be called a true woman.


    '' Seven cuts, because of breaking these virtues? A killer who is well versed in old scriptures and tradition, obsessed with a woman''s virtue, can craft incense sticks and have a physical strength¡­''


    Jia Hao looked at the portrait he made with a deep gaze. In his mind, the scope of the killer''s real life profession slowly narrowed.


    At that moment¡­


    [ Hey, Looks like I found something. And, It can be a big clue!]


    Jia Hao was startled when he saw the message of ck Butterfly.

 Chapter 251 Whats The Rate of Your Mother?

    [ As you said, I checked the social media profiles of those two girls. Guess what, I found a rather interesting pattern]


    Then, ck Butterfly sent some screenshots to Jia Hao. Jia Hao looked at thest few posts of those two women.


    Ladies, Why do you still suffering at the hands of those stupid incels? Do yourself a favor and get a man of your value.


    Today, I just realized men are just pigs. Girls, you better date a dog rather than date these pigs


    Don''t settle for less, and it will filter 80% of men from your lives.


    I just had a shower thought. Do we even need men? A world without these bastards would be so great!


    Jia Hao''s expression turned odd when he looked at the posts and memes.


    '' Ah yes, ssic Beddit moment. They are obviously part of that toxic misandry group.'' Jia Hao scrolled down.


    The irony is that, their opinion on the anonymous app Beddit and open social media waspletely different.


    I guess being an anon inte troll is fun. Can''t deny that. I would do the same.''


    '' Anyway, The thing is our victims had been posting man hating posts for quite sometimes already. But the thing is, the Beddit app lets userspletely remain anonymous.''


    '' Unless, our murderer could hack through their id and get their location.''


    Suddenly, Jia Hao squinted as he noticed amon user id in both of victim''s Beddit ount. That user id has been fighting with both of them and giving death threats in DMs.


    '' Afterlife Boatman#444, This person has been harassing both these women under these misandry posts. Could it be it''s our dear Mr.Murderer?''


    Jia Hao wrote down all the clues and started to connect all the dots.


    Suddenly, realization dawned in his heart as he suddenly called Sister Fei.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Sister Fei, Can you give me the casefile of a recent murder case?"


    " Yes? Which one you are talking about?"


    " The murder of a dark web hacker who died recently. His nickname should be, The Dagger Under the Moon." Jia Hao spoke hurriedly.


    " Also, If there is any CCTV footage around his area, please bring that to me."


    " Sure, But that case isn''t connected with this one, is it?" Sister Fei asked in confusion.


    " Who knows? We must not leave no stone unturned." Jia Hao spoke.


    The crime scene of the Dagger Under the Moon''s house was clean. Not to mention, since he was in a shady business, he ensured he wouldn''t be monitored by any authorities.


    However, As Jia Hao was looking at the the footages of nearby ces, he suddenly found a person.


    '' Almost matching physique. Hmm, I won''t be ying for long then.''


    Picking up his phone, Jia Hao called Yan Hongzhu.


    " Sister Yan, Can you return to police station? I got some clues."


    " What? Already? Wait, I will be back."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Two dayster, Qin Bingyu was walking down in the northern part of Jincheng City.


    " Ah, excuse me!"


    Qin Bingyu turned around and saw a man in a ck Tang suit.


    " My phone battery has died. Can I have your phone? Just one call."


    " Oh, That''s¡­Alright." Qin Bingyu nodded as she handed him her phone.


    " Oh, Thank you very much." The man thanked and called someone. After talking, he returned the phone to Qin Bingyu.


    " Actually, I have been doing a survey. I wonder if you can answer a few of my questions."


    " A survey? At this time?" Qin Bingyu was surprised. " Sure, What kind of survey is it?"


    " It''s about the thoughts of women regarding the decay of feminine virtues in modern society."


    " Would you agree that the morals of the women these days have been lessened? That they have forgotten the virtues that one who makes them pure and noble?"


    " What? Are you one of those men preaching to women about archaic traditions?"


    " I believe women these days are more independent, free, and equal to the men."


    " I see, I believe my spections are right." The man spoke as he wrong something on the paper. But then, he suddenly tumbled and fell to the ground.


    " Aggh! My head!"


    " Sir, Are you alright?"


    " I¡­I have hypoglycemia. I¡­I need some sweets."


    " Khukkh! I¡­I don''t have in¡­My pocket!" The man gasped for air as he trembled on the ground.


    " Can you¡­Fetch my medicine¡­From my car?"


    " Sir, Where is your car?" Qin Bingyu became worried as she supported him to get up.


    " Tha-That way¡­" The man pointed at an alleyway as he led Qin Bingyu inside.


    Doubts surfaced in Qin Bingyu''s heart as she led him in. But when she saw the the car at the other end, her worries eased a bit.


    " You wait here, Sir. I will fetch your medicines."


    " Here, Take the¡­keys! Auugh!" The man leaned on the tyre of the car and gave the key to Qin Bingyu. As Qin Bingyu turned to open the car¡­


    " AAAGH!"


    She heard the painful yelp of the man, making her turn around. There, he saw Jia Hao pinning that man to the ground with a surprising strength.


    However, instead of asking him to stop, Qin Bingyu hurriedly asked.


    " Is that the person you are looking for?"


    " Indeed, Sister Bingyu. Thank you for your help."


    " Damn it! Bastard! Let me go!" The man yelled as he struggled fiercely. But before Jia Hao''s monstrous strength, he was forced to remain kissing the ground.


    " Police! Do not move!"


    Yan Hongzhu and a group of policemen appeared, apprehending the man from Jia Hao''s grasp.


    " Officers! What are you doing? I didn''t do anything!" The man tried to exin, but Jia Hao already took something out his pocket.


    " Oh, Nothing? I wonder what''s inside this?" Jia Hao snorted. The man''s expression changed when he saw that. However, he refused to speak anything else.


    " Hmph! Heaven witnesses the virtue and sin of a man. I shall wait for mywyer."


    " I really doubt even a god could save your from the death sentence." Yan Hongzhu snorted before dragging him away.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Lei Hao, Manager of Three Plum Funeral shop. You have been used of being the Jincheng Butcher."


    " How? How is that possible?!" Lei Hao snorted. " I have been an upright individual in my entire life. How can I do such heinous crimes."


    " Well, I will break it down for you." Jia Hao sat beside Yan Hongzhu.


    " You run a funeral parlor, huh? Then you are skilled with carpentry and sharp tools. Matching skills with the murderer."


    " That doesn''t mean anything. Of course, I know carpentry. It''s to build coffins and other essories." Lei Hao snorted.


    " What about your specially made Soul Calming Incense stick, hm? That''s your specialty, isn''t it? The same one which is used on the corpses?" Jia Hao smiled.


    " Th-That¡­" Lei Hao gritted his teeth. " It''s a traditional form to make special incense sticks for the dead. Although it''s rare now, that doesn''t mean I am the killer if I have possession of it."


    " After all, Quite a lot of people like to use traditional incense sticks."


    " Damn it, Bastard. You think you can y with aw like this?" Yan Hongzhu mmed on the table.


    " Hmph! You can''t threaten a civilian like this! I will sue you all!" Lei Hao shouted.


    " Alright, So you want some conclusive evidence, huh?" Jia Hao nodded as he tapped on the table.


    " Shall we talk about your little hacker friend you killed mercilessly a week ago? Or the program you had been using to track down the women''s location?"


    Lei Hao''s eyelids twisted when he heard Jia Hao''s nonchnt voice.


    " I¡­I don''t¡­"


    " We have call and text message records. Don''t dare to say that they are fake too?"


    " I¡­I guess I do have a friend who is good atputers." Lei Hao gritted his teeth.


    " And, You killed him after you got the software you wanted. Not to mention, you also managed to find his kill switch and wiped all his data."


    " Yo-You can''t use me of a murder like that¡­"


    " You do have that little software in theptop, which is in your house." Jia Hao shrugged.


    " As for murder weapon, isn''t that the traditional carving knife which you cherish?"


    " Also, What about the death threats you sent them online? You think the police can''t track your user ID?"


    Lei Hao''s face hardened as Jia Hao slowly dropped one clue after another. Not to mention, he also detailed the chronological order of his crime, as if he witnessed it.


    " Damn it! Yo-You!"


    Lei Hao''s face turned red from anger and hate. As Jia Hao spoke, he got less and less excuses to refute the usations.


    Jia Hao smirked as he saw Lei Hao getting frustrated. '' Now, Let me trigged you a little bit before harvesting your sweet negative emotions.''


    " Mr. Lei Hao, Before saying anything else, I would like to ask you something." Jia Hao smiled.


    " What is it?" Lei Hao gritted his teeth as he looked at Jia Hao.


    " Your mother, How much she take for a night?"


    Yan Hongzhu: "..."


    Lei Hao: "...."


    Remaining policemen: "....."

 Chapter 252 Case Solved

    As for what happened afterwards, it was within everyone''s expectations.


    Lei Hao''s calm demeanor changed instantly as he tried to lunge at Jia Hao. However, Jia Hao simply raised his head and grabbed Lei Hao''s hair, mming it on the table.


    " AGHHH!"


    " Get him!"


    " Damn it! You dare to assault an officer here?!"


    Jia Hao patted his hands as he got up.


    " Well, Gathering the proof of what I said will take some time. Luckily, we can keep him detained under the charge of assaulting a police helper and disrupting the flow of investigation, yes?"


    Yan Hongzhu and others were stunned when they heard Jia Hao.


    " Wait, Did you seriously n that out?" Yan Hongzhu asked in an incredulous voice.


    " What? I can''t let such a person get out of police custody just because of a few loopholes in thews, right?" Jia Hao shrugged.


    " I gave you all the hints and logic. All you need to do is to gather the solid proof and seal his fate. Doesn''t sound too difficult, is it?"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Yan Hongzhu smacked her lips as she got up. " Captain Wen, You heard that. You have only one day to gather everything."


    " Prepare three groups. One to analyze the corpses and connect the dots. Another is to dig out the past history of Lei Hao. And third group is to re-investigate his house and his meeting with the Dagger Under the Moon."


    " Yes, Miss Yan!"


    " Everyone, Roll out! We finally got hands on the bastard who made us sleepless."


    " You won''t want to miss out this chance, do you?"


    Lei Hao''s nose dripped with blood as he looked at Jia Hao. His lips curled, his eyes showing signs on a cold blooded insanity.


    " Interesting, I never thought the Jincheng City police would be sopetent. I was thinking that police would only start getting some clues after a few weeks."


    " Yeah, That would have happened. Unfortunately for you, I was happened to be here." Jia Hao grinned. " Can''t let you harm so many beautiful girls, can I?"


    " Beautiful girls? Hmph! Using beauty as a weapon, these degenerate whores simply destroy society. I was trying to instill some fear, so they can let go of this debaucherous way of life."


    " Don''t you want to know why I did it? Don''t you want to know why our society needs to be reformed? To cast out those bullshit the modern world has been teaching us?"


    " Everything began when¡­"


    " Nah, Stop right there. Cease!"


    Jia Hao rubbed his forehead as he got up, turning to leave. " I don''t want to listen to your origin story. You can say that to the policerades here."


    " Wh-What? You are leaving?"


    Lei Hao felt a myriad of emotions in that instance. Hate, humiliation, bafflement, and rage, everything clouded in his mind.


    " Bastard! You caught me! Yet you don''t want to hear my reason?"


    " Nope."


    Jia Hao waved his hand and walked out from the interrogation room quickly.


    " Bastard! Come back! COME BACK!"


    Jia Hao could hear faint screams from the interrogation room as he stood outside. Strings of intense emotions slowly gathered around him, absorbed by the tree of desires within him.


    '' Thankfully I can simply skip the cutscene by walking out.'' Jia Haoughed inwardly.


    He knew the story of Jincheng Butcher. Although the appearance might change every time in the game, the story remained the same.


    A rough childhood, the family business of a funeral parlor, his mother running away with another man, father drowning in alcohol and dying.


    Lei Hao spent the remaining time inside the attic of the funeral parlor, reading old books and scriptures. The rambling of his father, the absence of his mother, everything twisted his perception regarding the woman into something dark.


    It was fine till he got on the inte and made some friends. The vast amount of varied opinions on inte seemed to overwhelmed it.


    Then came the final straw that broke the camel''s back.


    Yep, he got cheated by an E-girl.


    And thus, Lei Hao embarked on a journey to correct the society''s females and make them virtuous like the old times.


    '' Folks, and that''s why you must not take the opinions on the inte more than a pinch of salt.''


    Jia Hao chuckled inwardly as he walked out.


    " Jia Hao, Wait!"


    Yan Hongzhu walked out as she stopped Jia Hao. " Where are you going?"


    " I believe my task here has ended?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Now, If you want to ask me for a dinner date, I am open for that."


    " Cheeky brat." Yan Hongzhu snorted lightly. " However, It''s impressive that you caught the serial killer so fast."


    " Without you, It was unknown how many more likes would have been lost by his hands."


    " Ah, And you too, Miss Qin. You are very brave for acting as the bait for Lei Hao."


    Qin Bingyu got up from the seat and smiled. " I am d I was able to help you catch such a heinous criminal."


    " For your effort, the department will give you a good citizen award." Yan Hongzhu smiled. " Please, we invite you to the press conference."


    " It will be a pleasure for me, Officer Yan."


    Normally, With Jia Hao''s interference, Qin Bingyu wouldn''t have encountered Lei Hao in this lifetime. However, Jia Hao also knew that if the situation was set right, the chances of them meeting would be very high.


    So, he prepared a bait for Lei Hao in the Beddit app. He created an ount of Qin Bingyu and posted a few hate posts.


    And using ck Butterfly, inte bots boosted those post, giving it attraction. They had heated argument with Lei Hao''s id, making him more furious.


    After that, Qin Bingyu''s information was sneakily passed to him, making Lei Hao think everything was going ording to his n.


    That''s how the predator became the prey.


    '' Hooo, The n worked perfectly. And I got quite some reward."


    First, finishing off a potential viin. Second, getting a good impression on Yan Hongzhu and the police. Third is¡­


    Jia Hao looked at the shining starlight above him, sprinkling down like a silver rain. His foundation base absorbed the starlight, the cracks in it filling in rapid pace.


    '' I alreadypleted half of the Virtuous Pilgrimage chapter. I wonder how much my strength will grow if I finish it.''


    " Jia Hao, Come with me."


    " Ah, Yes¡­"


    Yan Hongzhu saw Jia Hao grinning foolishly and following Qin Bingyu out. With a sigh, she took out her phone and dialed Chu Ming.


    " Thank you, Senior Chu. You really sent us a gem. We managed to solve the recent case quickly just because of him."


    " Uh, What? You caught the serial killer?" Chu Ming almost spat out his coffee when he heard that. He was just chilling in his garden before Yan Hongzhu dropped the bomb.


    " Indeed. I wonder which police academy he studied at? He is so young and capable."


    " He didn''t study there though?" Chu Ming coughed with a wry smile.


    " He is studying in a normal academy. In fact, he is in the same ss as my daughter."


    " Wh-What? He is a normal student? Then why did you send him here?" Yan Hongzhu was stunned.


    " He just said he was working on a school project and wanted to see the police investigation from close. Who would have thought he would join the investigation and solve it?" Chu Ming sighed.


    " I¡­I was thinking of promoting him from trainee investigator to full time. But¡­He isn''t even part of the force. What should we do?" Yan Hongzhu felt speechless.


    " What should I say? Tomorrow is my retirement. I don''t want to get into any mess." Chu Mingughed. " Do as you see."


    " Yes, Senior Chu."

    " Mr. Yi Shing, You shouldn''t havee here at all. We could have gone to your residence to report if you had asked us."


    " Leave it. This is mypany. What kind of chairman I would be if I can''t visit it once in a while." An old man in a wheelchair waved his hand.


    " How is the new project going?"


    " Everything is doing well, Mr. Yi. Besides, the progress of Jiangnan Luxury Enve will be soon finished."


    " Haah, That ce¡­It''s both a boon and curse." Yi Shing sighed when he heard about the Jiangnan Enve.


    '' If handled properly, it would bring prosperity to ourpany. However, I doubt I would be alive to see it''spletion."


    " Mr. Yi. Please don''t speak like that. Without you, it''s bound for problems to appear in that project." The secretary hurriedly said.


    " Please don''t worry. You will inaugurate the enve by your own hands."


    " Haha, Ke''s, no matter how much wealth you spend, do you think you can buy even a second''s time from death?" Yin Shing gave a wry smile.


    " Let it be. I will be prepared when the timees."


    " I doubt your saying, Mr. Yi. Maybe, You can?"


    The secretary bowed, " Mr. Yi, Miss Feng Yunshi from Haizhou Food Conglomerate wished to meet you."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Hah, Sun Family? How amusing." Yi Shing nodded without much expression.


    " How is that brat Sun Shuang is doing?"


    " Uncle Sun is doing fine." Feng Yunshi smiled. " Senior Yi, I wish to talk some business with you."


    " What can I do? I am merely an old man in a wheelchair now." Yi Shing shrugged.


    " Whatever you wish to talk about, You can talk with either Yi Ningchen or Yi Bian."


    " No, This issue is something only you would understand, Chairman Yi."


    Yi Shing chuckled when he heard the word chairman. " Hmm, Guess you still know something. Speak, what is it?"


    " I was just thinking, What if you buy some extra time from the death itself?" Feng Yunshi''s voice was melodic, yet it rang like thunder in Yi Shing''s ears.


    " Hah, Buying time from death, huh? Been a while someone spoke of that." Yi Shing rubbed his goat beard.


    " As far as I know, only three people in Tianshu Nation can brag about that. And among three of them, one has been proimed dead, one is missing."


    " Thest one remains secluded most of the time. As for his medicines, I guess I am too unlucky to get them."


    " However, Chairman Yi, Your problem isn''t as bad as you think." Feng Yunshi looked at him. " You don''t have any major disease. As long as your body has more vitality, you would be able to walk again, right?"


    " What do you want to say?" Yi Shing heard Feng Yunshi with interest. " If you are here to sell a two hundred and fifty year old ginseng, then I wouldn''t be much interested."


    " I have something better and potent than that." Feng Yunshi took out a box and passed to Yi Shing.


    When Yi Shing opened the lid, his eyes narrowed. The medicinal aroma was strong yet sweet. With a single whiff, he felt a spice in his lungs, as if they were freeing themselves.


    " What is this medicinal pill? Is it one of the three masters''s products?" Yi Shing asked in surprise.


    " No, it''s something ourpany developed." Feng Yunshi grinned. " Don''t worry, all ingredients are rare medicinal herbs with miraculous and longevity properties. It won''t lose out the pills of old medicinal families."


    " You are saying you are going to produce such thingsmercially?" Yi Shing was stunned when he heard that.


    There is a reason why special medicines were rare and only reserved for only a few powerful people. Because the ingredients they require is very rare, and takes way too much time to refine them.


    Not to mention, there is always a chance of the refinement going wrong.


    However, what does amercial product mean? Far greater yield and reach to more and more people.


    " Fine, I won''t ask too much about this. But what are the effects of this pill?"


    " Rejuvenation. It will regenerate your body cells and grow your vitality, making you as if you were ten years younger." Feng Yunshi replied as she passed a file to Yi Shing.


    Flipping the files, Yi Shing saw it was the experimental logs with promising results,


    " Mr. Yi, Maybe you should¡­"


    Before the secretary could finish, Yi Shing popped that pill into his mouth.


    " SIR!"


    " It''s alright." Yi Shing waved his hands as he gulped it down. " If anything happens to me, we can take out a fat chunk from Haizhou Conglomerate. I am a dying old man, better make my death with some worth."


    " Chairman Yi is bold as ever." Feng Yunshi''s brows twitched when she heard that. However, despite everything, her heart was still pounding from both anticipation and fear.


    '' Everything goes right! I hope so!''


    " KHEUKH!"


    " CHAIRMAN!"


    Yi Shing clenched his heart as he fell from his wheelchair. The secretary was stunned as he tried to help him. But Yi Shing pushed him back.


    *BHHWAKK!"


    Crawling to the corner, Yi Shing coughed out copious amounts of ck blood, his body trembling from the strain.


    " Damn it! Guards! Call an ambnce!"


    Feng Yunshi also stood up as the security guards rushed inside. However, as she was about to get apprehended, Yi Shing''s weak voice rang.


    " No¡­No need for that. I just need¡­rest."


    *One hourter*


    Yi Shing''s eyes snapped open as he found himself lying on the sofa.


    " Sir, You are awake!" The secretary was happy as he tried to get him.


    However, Yi Shing beckoned him to stop. Clenching the arm of the sofa, he slowly tried to get up.


    " Haha! HAHAAH! I¡­I CAN FEEL STRENGTH IN MY LEGS!"


    A wildughter rang out as Yi Shing stood on his own. At first, he walked with heavy steps, his feet dragging on the ground. But after a few moments, he walked normally.


    " Damn, It really hits the spot." Yi Shing swung his hands and made some squats. But after a particr one, his cried in pain.


    " AYOO! MY BACK!"


    " Chairman Yi, you aren''t fully healed yet!" Feng Yunshi rushed to him. " You must not strain your body like this."


    " Agh! No worries, This is fine!" Yi Shing rubbed his waist. " Better than sticking on that damned chair all day long."


    " It will take a day or two for the medicine to refine in your body. You must rest well." Feng Yunshi smiled.


    " What about the price?" Yi Shing asked in a curious voice. " Surely, you are not selling this as charity?"


    " We dare not to ask for money from you, Chairman Yi." Feng Yunshi rubbed her palm. " We just need you to know that we are called Lianshan Corporation. And in future, we are going to produce many more miraculous products."


    As Feng Yunshi took her leave, Yi Shing gave an amused smile.


    " Sir, Why didn''t she ask for anything?" The secretary asked in slight confusion.


    " You know, when you are given something for free from the producer, it''s not free?" Yi Shing rubbed his chin.


    " Because, at that time, the consumer is the product itself. Just like how I am right now."

    " I am herpensation for the pill. Since I know thepany name and credibility of their product¡­" Yi Shing nced at secretary.


    " Won''t that be a great advertisement?"


    The secretary was stunned. " That-That''s really a good move."


    " Now, Let''s go. I am thinking of going for a light jog after so many years."


    Two dayster, it created a ripple in the upper echelon of Tianshu Nation.


    " What? Old Yi is healthy again?"


    " Impossible! The condition of his body is too bad to heal!"


    " Could it be he got his hands on some new therapy?"


    On the same day, the Lianshan Corporation registered in the stock market. And it released its first product, the Skin Rebirth Cream.

    " It''s almost a month here. Tomorrow, I will return to the Yun Continent." Jia Hao was already back in the Su Family.


    [ Ding! The Miracle Points have met the quota! Enchantment Function has been upgraded!]


    Jia Hao heard a distinct voice in his head. Out of curiosity, he peeked into the Pot of Miracle.


    " Hmm? What happened this time? I hope it''s something good."


    Standing in the dark space with fog washing his feet, Jia Hao saw a glowing altar before him.

 Chapter 254 Grappled

    [ From now on, you will see all the possible enchantment recipes of various things. You can spend Chaos Energy to unlock them. After unlocking once, you can use Miracle Points to reproduce them as long as you bring in materials]


    Jia Hao saw a screen lighting up before him. After that, he saw some interesting recipes.


    Going back, he casually put a mineral water bottle inside the Pot of Miracle. Suddenly, various options appeared before him.


    [Bottle of an Extremely Delicious Sparkling Water]


    Cost: 20 Chaos Energy


    Chances: 70%


    [ Bottle of Spring Water of Deep]


    Cost: 50 Chaos Energy]


    Chances: 50%

    .


    [ Endless Gourd of Aquarius]


    [ Cost: 300 Chaos Energy]


    Chances: 0.01%


    '' Ah yes, Gacha Games, my old nemesis.''


    Though the 0.01% chance was still pretty good for Jia Hao. '' This Endless Gourd of Aquarius sounds pretty powerful, more than the Holy Dragon Torch I obtained.''


    " Now I think, Let me see what were the percentage of that thing again."


    As Jia Hao willed, the information regarding the Holy Dragon Torch appeared before him.


    [ Holy Dragon Torch]


    Chance: 10%


    Miracle Points: 3000


    Ingridients: A Torch+ Luminious Crystal+ Radiant Dragon Seed


    '' Hmm, Since it was unlocked, I can directly craft it. But to think it was a 10% drop rate item. Interesting.''


    But Jia Hao realized a w. He could see the recipes in forward direction, but not in reverse.


    For example, He could see the bottle of water''s enchantment recipe. However, he couldn''t find what he needed to create a Luminous Crystal or Radiant Dragon Seed.


    '' Well, I don''t need to worry about that much. Finding out would be much easier than I think.'' Jia Hao thought inwardly.


    Looking at the Bnce of The Worlds, Jia Hao noticed the shackles on the Yun Continent''s scales were almost about to fade.


    With a determined expression, Jia Hao returned back to his room, making preparations for his departure.


    " What? Mother isn''ting back tonight?"


    Jia Hao frowned when she heard Su Xing''er.


    " Yes, She said she has some work in office. So she won''t be here tonight." Su Xing''er patted beside her on the sofa.


    " Come, watch a movie with me."


    " Hmm, What is it?"


    Jia Hao''s face fell when he saw the movie. A cliche romance movie with a dude with anger issues and a girl with trust issues.


    After two hours of movies, Su Xing''er eyes were already glued on the screen.


    " Why don''t you just jump in?"


    Jia Hao gave a yful swat on the back of her head, making Su Xing''er wince.


    " Damn it! Don''t you ruin the scene!" Su Xing''er snarled at him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Hah, It would certainly create a ruckus if the Dandy Miss Su Xing''er caught while watching a romantic drama." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " Besides, Look at the stupid plot. The movie could have ended in half an hour if they just hadmunicated properly, no?"


    " Amusing that it''s you who is saying that."


    Jia Hao gave a wry smile as he suddenly heard Su Lan''s voice. " What do you mean, Sister Lan?"


    " Hah, Don''t make me start. Keeping so many secrets from us, don''t you feel like a hypocrite while uttering those words?" Su Lan nibbled her teeth as she red at Jia Hao.


    Jia Hao chuckled as he pulled Su Lan over him, making her sit on hisp.


    " Aww, Sister Lan, Why are you so annoyed, hm? Something happened?"


    " I¡­Haah¡­.I don''t know." Su Lan relished Jia Hao''s hug as she lean back.


    However, she quietly recalled a dream she saw while dozing off.


    In her dream, she saw Jia Hao''s marriage.


    '' Is it Xing''er? She is marrying him first, huh?''


    '' Wait¡­''


    Su Lan turned her head around and saw Su Xing''er was right beside her, cheering for Jia Hao and his bride.


    '' Is it Lin Mei?''


    When the bride opened her veil and kissed Jia Hao before everyone, Su Lan''s eyes almost popped out.


    " M-MOM?!"


    *GASP!*


    Su Lan almost stumbled from her study table as she jolted awake. '' Th-That dream¡­What the heck was that?''


    '' Wait, It''s not¡­Entirely impossible¡­''


    Her face darkened when she recalled how Su Yunqi was moaning Jia Hao''s name in her sleep.


    '' Heavens, please cleanse my mind.'' Su Lan sighed as she rubbed her temple. However, as she walked out of her room, she heard the voice of Jia Hao.


    When she saw him and Su Xing''er watching a romantic movie, she couldn''t help but tease him to vent out some of her frustrations.


    " Nothing happened." Su Lan didn''t disclosed her thoughts, but she remained on Jia Hao''sp.


    " Speaking of which, You were in Jincheng City, right? It was really awful there in thest few days."


    " Oh, You are talking about that serial killing?" Su Xing''er joined the conversation. " I heard the killer got caught eventually."


    " But what''s interesting is that Teacher Qin is also involved in it." Su Lan spoke with a chuckle. " I heard she helped the police to catch the criminal. And she is going to get an award tomorrow."


    " Why do I feel it''s rted to you, hm?"


    Both Su Xing''er and Su Lan nced at Jia Hao, making him shrug.


    " I mean, It could be¡­Who knows?" Jia Hao kept his answer mystified.


    " Speaking of which, Are you keeping the remote down there or you are just happy to see me?" Su Lan threw a flirty question as she felt a hardness pressing her from beneath.


    Su Xing''er''s ears perked up as she nced at Jia Hao and Su Lan.


    " If you guys don''t want to watch the movie, you can just go away."


    Your next chapter awaits on empire


    Su Lan chuckled as she saw Su Xing''er huffing. " Fine, I will leave you two alone for a while. I won''t be the third wheel, alright?"


    " I¡­ I didn''t mean that." Su Xing''er shrunk her neck impishly when she heard Su Lan''s quip.


    " Nope, It''s alright." Su Lan got up as she stretched her body. " Besides, I have to study."


    " Don''t strain yourself much, Sister Lan." Jia Hao smiled. " If you ever need, I can always prepare some revitalizing drinks for you."


    " Then, I won''t be polite." Su Lan smiled as she turned to leave.


    The moment she left, Su Xing''er suddenly moved, grappling Jia Hao''s neck from behind with her arms.


    " You are happy to see Elder Sister, Huh?"


    " Xing''er! Wh-What are you doing?" Jia Hai felt Su Xing''er''s legs also wrapped around his waist from behind, making him locked in a tight position.


    " Just checking how happy are you feeling."


    Jia Hao''s expression changed as he felt Su Xing''er''s feet slowly rubbing on the tent on his pants.


    " Wait, Xing''er¡­This feels¡­"

 Chapter 255 Changes in Nanhai City

    A dayter, Jia Hao took a break for a week. Su Yunqi chided him for not being studious enough. But Jia Hao managed to calm her down with a quick kiss.


    " Don''t worry, Mom. Please take it as a personal vacation? I will be back in a week, I promise." Jia Hao grinned as he saw Su Yunqi''s face burning red after he kissed her.


    " Bah! Hao''er, You can''t always escape like this!" Su Yunqi waved her hands angrily. Her breasts strained against the fabric of her clothes, heaving up and down.


    " How about this?" Jia Hao proposed. " After Ie back, we can go on a family vacation. Xing''er, Sister Lan, you and me?"


    " Hmph, We will see thatter." Su Yunqi sighed as she walked to Jia Hao, rubbing his cheek.


    " But what do you mean you can''t contact us this week?" She appeared to be concerned. " You aren''t going to do anything dangerous, are you?"


    " Oh, Come on, Mother." Jia Hao shook his head. " I am fine. It''s just some business work. I will make sure I will be back in time, safe and sound as I am right now."


    " You better do." Su Yunqi pinched his cheek. " Take care of yourself. And don''t eat too much unhealthy food!"


    Jia Hao suddenly held Su Yunqi''s waist, pulling her into his embrace. Su Yunqi squirmed a bit. But from inside, she made no real effort to get free.


    " I need some good luck charm, Mother." Jia Hao spoke in a yful voice. " May I get it?"


    " Cheeky brat! Wh-What if someone sees us." Su Yunqi bit her lips as she gazed at Jia Hao''s face.


    Such a handsome face, full of love and mischief.


    '' Haah, Such aplicated rtionship I have.''


    Su Yunqi remained drowned in sweet and confusing feelings while she watched Jia Hao''s back from far as he left the ce.


    '' Hoo, First work is done. Now let''s see¡­''


    Jia Hai looked at his phone and got into his car. There was a reason why he told Su Yunqi that he was going for a one week vacation.


    '' Last night, the shackles on the Scales of the World vanished. However, a new prompt appeared before me.''


    [ For the protection of the Pot of Miracles, new rules regarding dimensional travel has been added]


    [ Host should positively stay in one world for at least one week before traveling back. Host will have one emergency travel option, where the penalty will be a sixty day ban on dimensional travel]


    Jia Hao rubbed his chin as he read the rules. '' Well, The time flow between both worlds is beneficial for me. So a week isn''t an issue.''


    '' Though, I am really curious regarding these new changes being made in this pot.''


    He knew that the Pot of Miracles was a sentient treasure. However, it doesn''tmunicate with him properly¡­At least for now.


    '' No matter what, one day I will unravel all its mysteries.'' Jia Hao felt determined as he arrived at the familiar cafe.


    Looking at Feng Yunshi sitting there, Jia Hao simply sat before her.


    " Hmm, You already ordered some dishes for me. Not bad." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " I believe in happy asions, you like to eat a bnced meal with spicy food with sweet desserts." Feng Yunshi smiled.


    " Am I correct?"


    " Very much, Young Lady." Jia Hao nodded with a smile. " So, How is our little n going?"


    " Little n, you say?" Feng Yunshi smiled wryly. " Looking at our current stock price, it doesn''t look little at all."


    Feng Yunshi finished her sentence after passing a file to


    '' Haha, We already got an investment of five billion yuan?" Jia Hao became amused. " Guess our little medicine is showing wonder."


    " More than it." Feng Yunshi scoffed. " For the past few days, I didn''t have a peaceful sleep. I have received a thousand calls regarding purchasing the mysterious medicine that can make the old younger."


    " You know our n." Jia Hao exined. " Lesser Rejuvenation Pill for one person, then supplement with Raging Vigor Fluid. It will keep their body healthy and lessen the aging."


    In fact, it''s a clever marketing tactic. The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill has the major role to de-age a person and make them young.


    But any human would have many doubts regarding it. Not to mention, many of them would never like to lose their newfound youth and vigor.


    That''s why Lianshan Corporation will sell Raging Vigour Fluid as a supplementary medicine along with it. It will prolong the effects of the medicine.


    And purchasing it in abo will give a person a little discount too!


    " And while the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is reserved for the upper ss, the Raging Vigour Fluid can be purchased by the normal public and still have excellent effects." Feng Yunshi nodded.


    " It''s just that we will have to dilute the medicine which we are making for general public."


    " As long as there is some noticeable effect, People will purchase our products like crazy." Jia Hai waved his hand. " What we need to ensure is consistent quality and satisfaction from customs from both lower and upper end."


    " As long as we get the material, I will take care of that." Feng Yunshi nodded.


    " Now about our holy potion¡­" Jia Hao smirked, making Feng Yunshi understand.


    " It''s been kept in secrecy. Without your permission, there won''t be any use of it.


    " Very well then. I am leaving for a few days to collect more materials." Jia Hao nodded as he took a bite from his te.


    " Anyway, How about we talk about something romantic instead of work?"


    " I thought a CEO and Secretary should maintain professional distance?" Feng Yunshi blinked with mischief.


    " Huh? And here I thought Secretary should also do¡­much more than just handling CEO''s affairs." Jia Hao grinned.


    " Guess we both read different books, eh?"


    " I believe the book I read isn''t a hard R-rated one." Feng Yunshi pouted.


    They both had a goodugh before Jia Hao took his leave.


    After booking a room in a hotel, He got on his bed and looked at the supply he bought this time in the Pot of Miracles.


    " Now, Let''s go and greet back my wife."

    . Your next journey awaits at empire


    .


    Yun Continent, Great Yan Kingdom, Western Province, Nanhai City, Tianxiang Pavilion.


    After the event of the Monster Tide, the entire Nanhai City seemed to flip upside down.


    First of all, was the investigation of the dyed reinforcement by the other families.


    Naturally, the Cai Family didn''t let go of the chance after they tanked the monster tide by themselves.


    Cai Yunhai gave orders as City Magistrate to catch the perpetrators and the Silver Lightning Cavalry took immediate action.


    Big or small, the noble families trembled in fear. After all, The Old General Cai Yunhai is back. And no one wished to face the man who butchered the barbarians and monsters on the western border.


    And in the end, the sword naturally pointed at the City Lord Manor. After all, the me Feathered troops never arrived at the time of the battle.


    When the City Magistrate and City Lord''s faction shed, it almost created a civil war within the Nanhai City.


    However, Cai Family had justifications and even the Emperor can''t deny it.


    Preventing the monster tide with minimal loss, along with capturing a dark sorcerer, the feats of the Cai Family shook the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom.


    Some were panicking while some were rejoicing. Even the Emperor couldn''t help but feel a headache. Crown Li Qing used this chance and took a stance for the Cai Family in the Imperial Court.


    Within a few days, a Silver Storm Falcon streaked across the provinces, delivering the imperial edict to Nanhai City.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Thankfully the timely intervention prevented the esction of the situation. In exchange for releasing everyone who was caught in the act of treason, the Cai Family and others who helped during monster tide were allowed to ept financial ransom.


    After all, If so many nobles and even people from the City Lord''s faction get arrested, it''s bound to create a disturbance in thew and order of Nanhai City.


    So the Emperor gave a private suggestion, which was no less than any order, to handle the matter with softness.


    " A million taels of gold, along with various shops and a medicinal garden. Along with that, retraction the edict of sending away our Silver Lightning Cavalry for military exercises." Cai Yixue wrote it down in an ounting book and closed it.


    " Miss Cai looks tired. Are you still thinking about Son in Law Jia?" Minmin spoke with a teasing smile.


    " What? Is it weird for a wife to look for her husband?" Cai Yixue retorted softly. " Besides, Don''t tell me I haven''t noticed you? Aren''t you also daydreaming about someone?"


    " How can I dare?" Minmin hurriedly replied. " It''s just some foolish lingering thoughts."


    " Anyway, Just keep an eye on the sellings of soaps and shampoos. Also, pass this parchment to father."


    " Yes, Young Miss."


    Cai Yixue closed her room as she took off her heavy robes. As she was standing in her doudu, a whistle came from her behind, almost giving her a heart attack.


    " You look pretty as ever, Wife."


    " Husband!"

 Chapter 256 Attention of The Emperor

    " Why are you so angry? You weren''t even naked¡­" Jia Hao pouted as he rubbed his face.


    " Besides, Why did you throw a pillow at me? It would have been better if you threw your dudou at me."


    " Do you want me to pull out my dagger?" Cai Yixue spoke icily when she heard that. She hurriedly got behind a curtain and changed her clothes to something casual.


    " I am truly marveled at your ability toe and go where you please." Cai Yixue rubbed her cheeks to remove the earlier blush.


    " Heh, Now thinking how amazing your husband is?" Jia Hao grinned.


    " No, I am thinking more about the pattern." Cai Yixue looked at him. " Looks like you can only appear when you have disappeared. So you sleep on this bed and disappear, and appear on this bed."


    " I wonder what will happen if I push the bed away when you were gone?"


    " You want me to break my back due to fall damage?" Jia Hao''s face darkened.


    " We have tons of healing medicines now, yes?" Cai Yixue smirked.


    Jia Hao let out a stiflingugh as he rubbed his face. " As expected, you are pretty smart. A bit too¡­smart, I guess."


    After that, Both of them became silent. A minute of heavy heavy silence passed.


    " How are you?"


    " How are you?"


    Both of them spoke at the same time. Cai Yixue blushed a bit as she cleared her throat.


    " I was just wondering what you were doing the past week. Nothing more."


    " Tsk, You won''t lose any weight if you show a bit of affection, Wife." Jia Hao teased Cai Yixue as he got up from the bed.


    " Shall I ask someone to bring something to eat?"


    " Hmm, Not now. I can wait for the dinner." Jia Hao smiled.


    " Let me brew some tea for you then. We can talk in the garden." Cai Yixue turned around.


    But suddenly, Jia Hao shed towards her, hugging her from behind. Cai Yixue''s breath hitched as she felt the warmth of Jia Hao on her nape.


    However, she made no moves to get out of his embrace.


    " Can you tell what you are doing?" She pretended to be annoyed, but her voice was as small as a mosquito.


    " Just remembering the fragrance of your body." Jia Hao murmured. " I see, You used the jasmine soap today."


    " I¡­I felt like using it." Cai Yixue answered. " Why? It doesn''t suit me?"


    " No, It suits you well." Jia Hao gave a light peck on her nape. " Though, I like your natural scent even more."


    " More feminine, more¡­arousing?"


    " Pervert!"


    Cai Yixue finally couldn''t bear any longer as she pushed Jia Hao and hurriedly walked out.


    " Stay here. I am bringing tea."


    " Ah, Wait." Jia Hao stopped her as he passed her a pouch. " Brew this tea. We shall drink it together."


    " Another product?" Cai Yixue was surprised, but nodded. " Fine, I will do it."


    As she left, Jia Hao sat down and focused in his Pot of Miracles.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    [Misty Mountain Tea: The tea leaves of the mother tree of Da Hong Pao. Cultivated for a sixty year cycle with aura of mountain and clouds before harvesting. Soothes the mind and excessive Fire and Metal energy in the body]


    '' Although it''s not an Epic level drop, the Misty Mountain Tea is quite a good enchantment of my ten yuan tea. I remember the Da Hong Pao''s mother tree is almost extinct.''


    '' Not to mention, I doubt even the mother tree could have such a potent effect.''


    Jia Hao noticed that he only had 50 Chaos Energy remaining. The rest were used to randomly enchant the items he brought this time.


    [ Tricolor Dye Stone: A pitch ck stone contain all three pirmary colors. One can mix with various temperatures of water to get a singr color]


    [ Flowing Water Silk Robe: A fine hanfu robe crafted with Deep Water Flower Silk and the skin of aquatic creatures. Resistance of Cold and Water increased by 50%]


    [ The Golden Paddy: Grains of a paddy with superior genome. It can grow in harsh conditions. With abundant fertilizers, the growth time will be halved with double national values]


    [ Soybean Seeds (Superior Quality)]


    [ Dark Band Dagger: Can conceal around the wrist like a bracelet. Extra 20% Pration and 20% Dark Attribute attack]


    '' Whoa, This is some seriously cool stuff!''


    Jia Hao saw a slick metallic wristband around his wrist.


    " Work in the dark, to serve the light!"


    *SWISH!*


    With a light twist of his wrist, a pitch ck de appeared from the wristband, almost thirty centimeters long.


    " Haha! As expected!"


    Jia Haoughed in delight. But suddenly, he paused as he turned around. Cai Yixue was standing with a tray with teapot and cups, looking at him silently.


    " Did you hear anything?"


    " No." Cai Yixue answered with a demure face.


    " Good."


    Jia Hao retracted the de and nodded with a cid face. " Anyway, I brought this weapon for you. It will improve your self-defence.


    " Do I need to speak that line to make the de appear?" Cai Yixue asked seriously.


    " ¡­That''s not necessary."


    Jia Hao''s face was red as he turned away.


    " Fine, Come. I will pour tea."


    Cai Yixue felt a hint of amusement as she sat beside the table.

    Imperial Capital, Taiyi Hall.


    " Greetings, Your Highness."


    " Rise, Mu Jing."


    Mu Jing raised stood up, but his eyes remained lowered.


    " It''s fine, You can rx."


    " It''s your grace, Your Majesty." Mu Jing rxed his body and cupped his fist.


    " So, What''s the situation in Nanhai City?"


    The question came in a light voice. However, Mu Jing knew that a singlemand in that light tone could sway the entire Great Yan Kingdom.


    After all, the person before him was none other than the Emperor of Great Yan, Li Zhen.


    " Reporting to Your Majesty, The situation of the Nanhai City has been calmed down."


    " However, it looks like the Cai family has managed to gain the upper hand and solidify both their military and financial dominance across the city."


    " Since they didn''t send any Silver Lightning Cavalry troops to any other ce, Commander Yang is now training them."


    " As for the inside of the city, the Tianxiang Pavilion''s business is bing more and more explosive."


    " Haah, Here we thought Cai Family is going to decline after this." Li Zhen sighed as he took a sip of his tea.


    " But their fortune reversed and they benefited from this cmity. Looks like their son inw is their lucky star."


    " Anything else?" Li Zhen asked curiously.


    " There is indeed a strange thing, Your Majesty." Mu Jing took a moment before speaking.


    " This time, the death of injured soldiers has been reduced by more than half."


    " What?!"


    This time, Li Zhen''s expression didn''t remain calm. " What do you mean? That more than half of the soldiers who were injured by the monster tide survived?"


    " Your Majesty is correct. Although they are still in a recovery phase, they have escaped the clutches of death."


    " It was rumored because of the new thing called soapunched by Cai Family."


    " The one Concubine Yu was whining about?" Li Zhen''s lips twitched.


    " ¡­ Yes, Your Majesty. But I have already delivered them in the Imperial Harem."


    " Good job." Li Zhen sighed. " But what you said made me curious. So, these soaps aren''t cosmetics, but also have medicinal properties?"


    " ording to what I heard from Pharmacist Mo of the Cai Family, washing the wounds with soap before covering them with fresh gauge can prevent infection. As long as infection is prevented, amputations or even death can be prevented."


    " Its effect is lesser than the Green Healing Dan, but it''s cheaper and can be easily distributed to the masses."


    " Interesting, how interesting." Li Zhen nodded. " Send the soaps to the Imperial Alchemists. Let them figure out the thing."


    " His Majesty, Do you require anything? We have brought quite some things from Nanhai City."


    " Hah, I have no interest in those feminine soaps." Li Zhen shook his head.


    " I heard they created a soap with a new fragrance. It''s called Masculine Tiger Soap, especially for men. It''s more expensive than regr ones."


    " What a bold name." Li Zhen tapped on his table with his index finger. " Leave it in my bathing chamber. I will see it evening."


    '' Damn, A soap for men? With such a bold name, I hope it works like that,'' Li Zhen mumbled inwardly.


    '' Ugh, Even Empress''s hair looking so lush and her skin is so soft. Finally, I can have a soap for myself.''


    Not long after Mu Jing left. Li Zhen leaned back on the chair.


    " So, Any thoughts about the little mischief of my second son?" Li Zhen spoke in a cid voice. " His n went very well. Unfortunately, the Cai Family simply flipped the table on his face."


    " Lord, Shall I call him to your study?"


    " No, Let him be." Li Zhen spoke. " On the contrary, You can call Li Qing. I heard he alleviated the symptoms of princess?"


    " You are right, Lord. The Bright Snow Lotus he brought worked well."


    " Hmhm, Give him some appreciation, a million taels of gold, and a bottle of True Yuan Pills."


    " As you wish, Lord."


    " The winds are changing." Li Zhen looked in the distance. " Maybe Nanhai City will give further surprises."


    " Prepare a memorial for Scaled Dragon Hall. Maybe we can use the abilities of Cai Family''s Son in Law?"

 Chapter 257 Allure of Chocolate

    *CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!*


    " Not bad, Son inw. You have gotten stronger than before." Old Yang lowered his sword as he looked at Jia Hao. " But, shouldn''t you learn Cai Family''s technique now?"


    " Well, I am already good on my own, though?" Jia Hao swung his saber with practiced ease. " And Crimson Dagger Dojo''s techniques are going well with it."


    " Son In Law, you are part of our Cai Family. It won''t look good if you don''t use our family''s technique, yes?" Old Yang spoke in an odd voice.


    " But if I rely on them too much, won''t people say I ampletely dependent of Cai Family''s techniques?"


    Old Yang became speechless when he heard Jia Hao''s words. However, he couldn''t refute him at all.


    " Anyway, How is the military training going?" Jia Hao asked in a curious voice.


    " Ah, It''s going good. We have ingrained the Hundred Army Battle Formation''s doctrine into both new recruits and old veterans. Not to mention, we already seen its effect during the monster tide."


    " But what''s even better is that our smithies have been improved a lot. The production rate has been doubled and we have already reced a fifth of our old armory with new ones."


    " Son In Law, Pharmacist Mo is looking for you."


    Jia Hao looked at Minmin as he nodded. " Is that so? Lead the way then."


    " You are finally back, Young Lord. I came as fast as possible when I heard you have returned." Pharmacist Mo smiled as he sat in the courtyard with Jia Hao.


    " Please, Uncle Mo, have some tea. We can talk with some rxation." Jia Hao smiled.


    " This¡­Young Lord is truly enigmatic. Where did you get such an amazing spiritual tea?" Pharmacist Mo couldn''t help but praise.


    " But I came here for some urgent matters, Young Lord."


    " Yes?"


    " First of all, your soaps worked as miracles!" Pharmacist Mo spoke with enthusiasm. " Especially when we used your special herbal soap, I saw the wounds of the soldiers slowly turn into a healthy scab instead of rotting."


    " You know how much expensive the healing herbs are. Yet we managed to treat so many injured people at a low cost. It really created a storm in the city. Even other medicinal practitioners couldn''t help but get amazed by it."


    " And guess what?" Pharmacist Mo grinned. "The reputation of our Fragrant Medicinal Store has increased. We renovated the main store and opened outlets at two more ces."


    " Hmm, That''s good. I heard we got a very goodpensation for our bravery." Jia Hao chuckled. " It''s only good that we expand a growing business."


    " However, Two more outlets along with the main store isn''t good." Jia Hao twirled his finger around the rim of the cup. " Close one of them and only operate one outlet other than the main one."


    " The outlet will focus on only selling medicinal herbs. Also, give some discount if someone brings a prescription from Fragran Medicinal Store."


    " But what about those who are employed in the second outlet? Shall we bring them back?" Pharmacist Mo asked.


    " No, They have another work." Jia Hao grinned. " No matter what, a business will only grow when it has the unobstructed support of the public."


    " Create a group and make them traveling pharmacists. They will travel around and help people with minimal cost. If they can''t handle it, they will send the patients to the main Fragrant Medicinal Store."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " This¡­This is a unique idea." Pharmacist Mo mumbled. " Not to mention, it will increase our credibility and favor among the public. And we can also help some poor people in that way."


    " Also, Can you change Fragrant Medicinal Store into Fragrant Medicinal Pavilion? The store sounds a bit small."


    " I will implement whatever Young Lord asks." Pharmacist Mo cupped his fist.


    " I have bought quite a lot of materials for the energy drink. Ask someone to take it from the warehouse." Jia Hao nodded.


    " Haha, Young Lord knows all my troubles. I was worried because people have been purchasing energy drinks a lot. Thanks to you, we can start selling them again."


    " Also, Young Lord, I have brought something for you." Pharmacist Mo took out a small box and presented it to Jia Hao.


    " What is this?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but ask in a curious voice. When he opened the box, he saw a white pill with a sheen of blue on top of it. A rich fragrant of medicinal spice hit his nostrils, making him flinch a bit.


    " This is Clear Energy Pill, Young Lord. It''s very beneficial for those who are in the Profound Awakening Realm. It will instantly give twenty years worth of Internal Energy and strengthen the physique." Pharmacist Mo exined.


    " It was snatched¡­Umm, given to Patriarch Cai by City Lord Suo. Patriarch Cai handed it to me to check if there was any problem with it before giving it to you."


    " I have already checked it, and it''s perfectly fine. So Young Lord, you can take it."


    " Haha, then I will ept this gift." Jia Hao smiled and tucked it in.


    As Pharmacist Mo left, Jia Hao fell into deep thought.


    '' Twenty year worth of Internal Energy, this medicinal pill is indeed a treasure for the Profound Awakening Realm.''


    '' s, even increasing energy a hundred times won''t be effective for me because I use the Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts. To break through to the next stage, I need to umte more merits.''


    '' But now I think, I have mastered everything in the Virtuous Pilgrim chapter. I learned a lot about the techniques I can use, and I even understood the importance of physique and heart from it.


    '' With knowledge of muscles, meridians, and acupoints, I can be considered as half a physician.'' Jia Hao rubbed under his nose as he put the pill in his pot.


    " You are here?"


    Jia Hao smiled as he turned around. " Wife, You can''t simply call me ''you'' everytime, can you?"


    Cai Yixue blushed as she spoke in a small voice.


    " Ahem¡­Husband, have you finished speaking with Pharmacist Mo?"


    " I have. I gave him some tips. But he is managing everything well." Jia Hao nodded. " However, we need to prepare a reserve of energy drinks and nutrition for our army. After all, we need some new blood for our Silver Lightning Cavalry."


    " You are right. I have already kept a part of the things you bought this time for the family." Cai Yixue nodded.


    " But this one is especially for you." Jia Hao smiled as he opened his fist, revealing a golden wrapper.


    Cai Yixue picked it up curiously and opened it. " This is the chocte you boughtst time?"


    As she took a bite, her eyes lit up with happiness. The outer shell was chocte, and the inner was filled with mixed nut paste with nougat.


    Cai Yixue couldn''t stop her wide smile as she enjoyed every bit of the chocte.


    " UHMM! SO DELICIOUS!"


    But suddenly, she opened her eyes and covered her lips behind her longer sleeves.


    " Ahem, I was justplementing. It tastes good."


    " You don''t need to put etiquette before your husband, do you?" Jia Hao couldn''t help but find her behavior amusing.


    " And, Why is she hiding behind that pir like this?" He looked behind Cai Yixue and found Minmin lurking.


    " She was feeling¡­a bit shy toe before you." Cai Yixue coughed lightly.


    Jia Hao was speechless. " I am not going to eat her, am I?"


    Cai Yixue shrugged as she didn''t say anything. Jia Hao got up and handed Cai Yixue another candy. " Give this to Minmin."


    " And¡­give it to her. Don''t eat it." Jia Hao added.


    " You think I am childish enough to steal a candy from my own servant?" Cai Yixue stomped her foot with an annoyed voice.


    But at that time, she instinctively licked her lips, to trace back any lingering chocte splinters on them.


    Jia Hao merely grinned as he walked away, leaving Cai Yixue flustered.


    " What happened, Young Lady?" Minmin finally approached Cai Yixue.


    Cai Yixue nced at the bright orange candy in her hand. She looked at Minmin and passed to her.


    " What''s this?"


    " A sweet. He brought for you."


    " He did?" Minmin couldn''t help but be happy.


    Meanwhile, Cai Yixue only smiled outside, but her brain was calcting.


    '' Anyway, He must have more with him. No need to fight for this one.''

 Chapter 259 Poem As Apology

    259 Poem As Apology


    Rednterns lit up around the entire building of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, like glowing jewels around a maiden''s body.


    The name que shone with a gentle light, attracting the pedestrians of Nanhai City.


    As Jia Hao walked inside, he was greeted by several maids.


    " Greetings, Young Lord Jia!"


    " Aha, Young Lord Jia has arrived."


    " Young Lord Jia, are we fortunate enough to hear another poetry from you?"


    Jia Hao chuckled as he simply walked in, holding a paper fan in his hand. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Well, Who knows? If my mood allows, I might write one."


    " Young Lord Jia, I am Ye Jing, from Schr Ye''s household. It''s a pleasure to meet you."


    " I am Meng Ya, From Golden Triad Merchant Group."


    " Greetings¡­"


    Jia Hao was perplexed when he saw the sudden surge of young men trying to get acquainted with him. But he also understood the reason of the sudden boost in his poprity.


    Since the influence of the Cai Family has grown so much, it''s natural for everyone to curry favors with them. And currently, other than the Patriarch, the second male inmand is naturally his son inw Jia Hao.


    '' Ugh, I came here to admire beauties. And here I am getting swarmed by these smiling bastards.''


    " Yeah yeah, I ept your greetings." Jia Hao pushed through the crows as he hurried towards the room of Xu Chen.


    However, before he could go up, he was stopped by her maid.


    " Young Lord Jia, Lady Xu didn''t allow you to go to her boudoir yet."


    " Huh? I think I already sent the news of my arrival early in the morning?" Jia Hao was surprised.


    " It''s true. However, Lady Xu isn''t in a good mood. She needs some sort ofpensation before you go to her room."


    " I see¡­"


    Jia Hao took a few steps back, crossing his arms with a look of understanding. " Looks like someone is annoyed because I didn''te often."


    The maid only smiled and spoke nothing. However, her smile alone gave confirmation to Jia Hao''s question.


    " Fine by me, Bring me a brush and paper." Jia Hao took a seat as he spoke in a calm voice.


    His words attracted the attention of many as they surrounded him.


    " Looks like Young Lord Jia is going topose something."


    " Lady Xu must be so lucky. Young Lord isposing only for her."


    " Let''s see what kind of surprise Young Lord going to give us tonight."


    Jia Hao rested his face on his fist as he gave a rueful smile. His hands moved, but his gaze fixed on the curtain blocking the view of Xu Chen''s room.


    *SWISH! SWWISSH!*


    His strokes were light and long like he was drawing a painting with his words. After writing for a while, he ced the brush back and gave the parchment to the maid.


    " Send it to her. Let''s see if she allows me toe or not." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " No! I want to see it!"


    " Young Lord, It''s unfair. We also wish to hear your poetry!"


    Jia Hao waved his hands. " I think the person I wrote the poem for should view it first, no? Otherwise, it will reduce its significance."


    Everyone shut up when they heard Jia Hao''s reasoning. After all, he wrote it for Xu Chen. Only she deserves to read it first, yes?


    Not long after, the maid came down and bowed before Jia Hao.


    " Young Lord, Lady Xu is waiting for you."


    " Alright, I shall go then."


    Jia Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he walked to her boudoir.


    The maid bowed to the audience. " Lady Xu already kept the original copy. However, she can''t bear everyone to yearn for Young Lord Jia''s poem."


    " So I brought the copy for everyone to see. Please, enjoy it."


    The maid held the paper and sang the poem.


    The autumn wind blows white clouds


    About the sky. Grass turns brown.


    Leaves fall. Wild geese fly south


    Thest flowers bloom, orchids


    And chrysanthemums with their


    Bitter perfume. I dream of


    That beautiful face I can


    Never forget.


    I go for


    A trip on the river.The barge


    Rides the current and dips with


    The white capped waves. They y flutes


    And drums and the rowers sing.


    I am happy for a moment


    And then the old sorrowes back.


    I was young only a little while


    And now I am growing old.


    The crowd was stunned as the maid finished reading the poem, she simply gave a bow and left the scene.


    " What was that?"


    " Such a beautiful poem."


    Everyone understood Jia Hao''s intent behind this poem.


    " It looks like he was apologizing to Lady Xu for not visiting her often."


    " Well, It''s not unjust that Lady Xu allowed him an audience so quickly. If I was ady, I would have invited him personally."


    " Whoa, Man, That sounds pretty gay to me."


    " Why? Do you wish to try me? Huh?"


    Two men sat amidst the moring crowds as they drank tea.


    " An exquisite poem, I admit." A young man wearing a conical hat nodded with a sigh.


    " Even in Three Sage Academy, It''s hard to find such a literary talent."


    " Hmm, I guess him being an excelling investigator isn''t false. After all, one needs a high intelligence to be able to solve crimes." The man beside Luo Qiang nodded.


    " Then Brother Ye Kong, Shall I bring him here?"


    Ye Kong was speechless when he heard Luo Qiang.


    " Do you know where he went?"


    " Into the room of one of the Three Pearls, Xu Chen?"


    " And what do you think he is going to do there?" Ye Kong asked again.


    " This¡­ They will have a literary talk?" Luo Qiang shrunk his neck.


    " Your brain only fed on books or what?" Ye Kong couldn''t help but spat. " They are going to do much more than talking! Why do you think Phoenix Cloud Pavilion is famous for?!"


    " Anyway, We will wait till he is finished. It''s not good to interrupt." Ye Kong snorted.


    " He will be probably out in an hour or two."


    Unfortunately, Their spections turned out to be entirely wrong.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Well? I didn''t expect Lady Yin Hua to see me with Xu Chen?" Jia Hao''s steps paused as he looked at a figure sitting beside Xu Chen.


    Her entire face was covered with a beaded veil. However, the deep violet gown with flower patterns outlined her curvaceous figure perfectly.


    " Young Lord Jia''s eyes are sharp as rumored. Not many in the younger generation can recognize me that quickly."


    Her voice was melodious, like a chirping bird on a winter morning. However, Jia Hao was more focused on her strength which she was hiding deeply.


    '' She is an Innate Realm martial artist. Not to mention, her internal energy is quite stable and abundant.''


    Jia Haopared his strength with hers and realized he didn''t have full confidence to beat her.


    '' Tsk, even an owner of a brothel is a hidden martial artist. This world is really filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.''


    " I am d that my worn out beauty still captivates your gaze." Her voice startled Jia Hao, waking him up from his stupor.


    Her meaning was clear, Jia Hao was staring at her for quite a long.


    " Even when a tree dries, its bare branches still show their own elegance under the moonlight." Jia Hao shook his head.


    " Not to mention, Lady Yin Hua whose beauty is just one among her many virtues."


    " You are quite a tterer, Young Lord. You are going to cause heartbreak for quite a lot of women." Lady Yin Hua''s giggle was small yet melodious.


    " I believe you have some work with me?" Jia Hao cut to the point. He didn''t believe Lady Yin Hua was here only to talk with him.


    " Young Lord, Do you wish to bring Chen with you?" Lady Yin Hua spoke in a slow voice.

 Chapter 260 Deal With Lady Yin Hua

    260 Deal With Lady Yin Hua


    Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed when he heard Lady Yin Hua''s proposal.


    " What? Perhaps you don''t like my proposal?" Her vision shifted as she nced at Xu Chen. Xu Chen was sitting calmly, with her eyes lowered and no expressions on her face.


    " Chen, It The atmosphere feels dry. y a song for Young Lord." Lady Yin Hua spoke.


    " As you wish." Xu Chen picked a pipa. Her fingers glided like butter on the string as a soft melody slowly rang out from the pipa.


    However, Jia Hao''s expression turned neutral as he ced the wine cup on the table. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Lady Yin Hua is wise. If that''s your sincere offer, I have no issues." Jia Hao smiled. " But I would like to know something. What are you going to take in return?"


    " My, Why does Young Lord Jia think that I will ask something in return?" Lady Yin Hua appeared to be surprised.


    " Lady Yin, I am feeling exceptionally tired to talk flowery words." Jia Hao smiled. " So, My next words is going to be crass. Hope you don''t mind it."


    " I have seen more crasser things than words. Young Lord may proceed." Lady Yin Hua''s eyes narrowed, but she nodded.


    " You simply can''t let go of Xu Chen. As the owner of Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, How can you simply let go of one of your goldying ducks?"


    " Oh? That sounds very reasonable." Lady Yin Hua nodded. " Then what do you think I will ask you for return?"


    " An absurd amount of money. Hm, Money isn''t really a problem for Phoenix Cloud Pavilion." Jia Hao spoke as he yed with the wine cup.


    " A recement for Xu Chen? usible. After all, it''s only natural for me to give you someone who can rece Xu Chen''s ce."


    " But other than that, I guess the only thing you will ask me¡­a favor."


    Lady Yin Hua gently parted the beaded veils on her face as she took a sip of the steaming tea before her. Her lips were soft and red, like petals of rose.


    Jia Hao could only glimpse at her lips and chin, yet he was already impressed.


    '' Damn, She barely looks aged at all. If someone meets her for the first time without knowing her, they would probably think Yin Hua is only in herte twenties.'' Jia Hao sucked a breath of cold air.


    " Interesting. Young Lord''s thinking is truly amazing." Lady Yin Hua gave a slow nod.


    Xu Chen''s music remained uninterrupted, a serene background music while Jia Hao and Yin Hua talked.


    " Indeed, Phoenix Cloud Pavilion is renowned throughout the entire Great Yan Kingdom. If you take one of my precious pearls, it will create a void in our establishment."


    " Not to mention, Getting someone else like Chen from Jiaofang Division isn''t easy either."


    " So, I would like to ask you for¡­ Two Million Taels of gold?"


    *TWENGG!*


    The beautiful flow of melody was interrupted by a sharp wrong note, surprising both Yin Hua and Jia Hao.


    " Pardon for my mistake. I won''t do it next time." Xu Chen spoke in a cid voice. However, Jia Hao could feel the anxiety rising in her.


    " Two million taels of gold¡­"


    " It is too much, isn''t it?" Lady Yin Hua spoke.


    " Not at all." Surprising her, Jia Hao shook his head. " Two million is a fair price."


    " But the thing is, does Lady Yin Hua only wish for gold? After all, Even if two million taels a considerable sum, It''s not too much for Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    " Young Lord is wise. Other than money, How about you give the varieties of wine and dishes from Tianxiang Pavilion?" Lady Yin Hua made a proposal.


    " Surely, It won''t harm you much, right?"


    " You know about me and Chen. You also witnessed the rise of the Cai Family in Nanhai City." Jia Hao spoke in a slow voice.


    " You knew there might be a day when I will bring Xu Chen away. So, Why not use this opportunity to send Chen away while negotiating a deal with me?"


    Lady Yin Hua remained silent as she only took a sip of tea, neither confirming nor denying.


    '' I didn''t expect him to be so sharp. How did that old oaf get such a cunning son inw?'' Lady Yin Hua mumbled inwardly.


    " Hmm, I will take that as confirmation." Jia Hao nodded.


    " However, I think what you are trying to say, is that you wish to seize arge monopoly of our dishes and wines and sell it in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion, yes?"


    " That can be negotiated to a certain degree." Lady Yin Hua replied curtly.


    "How about this?" Jia Hao thought for a moment before replying. " A partnership between Tianxiang Pavilion and Phoenix Cloud Pavilion."


    '' Please borate, Young Master."


    " How about you write down the orders to Tianxiang Pavilion?"


    " Then within a set period of time, we will deliver the food and drinks to the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion?"


    " This¡­Is this possible?" Lady Yin Hua was taken aback when she heard that. " There is too much risk."


    " Please, don''t worry. The food won''t go cold and they will maintain their warmth and vors." Jia Hao smiled. " Not to mention, in that way, The Phoenix Cloud Pavilion can take extra charges over them in terms of convenience fees."


    " After all, it''s only appropriate for customers to loosen their purses if they want all convenience in one ce, yes?"


    Lady Yin Hua remained silent, but her brain was already storming the profit and losses. Even Xu Chen paused as she contemted Jia Hao''s idea.


    " On top of that, you will get a third discount on your orders. That mean you will pay less to Tianxiang Pavilion than an ordinary customer does." Jia Hao added.


    " Extra charges from customers while paying less to Tianxiang Pavilion, it''s win win for Phoenix Cloud Pavilion from both sides, yes?"


    " And here I thought only that girl Yixue was the one who was handling the business of the Cai Family. Turned out to be it''s you." Lady Yin Hua sighed. " No wonder the Silkward Chambers suffered so much."


    " That''s just heaven''s will, Lady Yin Hua. I am merely an instrument." Jia Hao smiled lightly. " So, What do you think? I believe this is a profitable trade for both of us. Then I hope I will take Xu Chen tomorrow?"


    " Hmm, How amusing. " Lady Yin Hua got up. " However, How can I trust your words?"


    " Lady Yin surely joking. After all, can I show my face afterward if I don''t keep my promises?" Jia Hao smiled. " Not to mention, This trade is just the beginning. I am sure I can help Lady Yin Hua in some of her...Future troubles."


    " Future troubles, you say?" Lady Yin Hua''s eyes narrowed. '' Hmm, Does he know something? This young man is quite crafty.''


    " Very well, I shall agree to this deal, only if Young Lord ensures both quality and quantity of his promise."


    " I will, Lady Yin. You can be rxed."


    " Also...I want to see something else..."


    Suddenly, Jia Hao''s eyes narrowed his senses became heightened. Suddenly, his hand moved as he caught a cherry that almost collided into his eyes.


    " Lady Yin has impressive skills with her beauty." Jia Hao''s spoke coolly. " But isn''t it quite rude to attack so suddenly."


    " I apologize for my misconduct." Lady Yin bowed as she cupped her fist. She bent her body, showing a glimpse of her white skin in her dress''s slit.


    " Please, Keep this handkerchief. I believe there might be some who would give you face behalf of mine if you show them this."


    Saying that, Lady Yin Hua left the room.

 Chapter 261 Let Me Indulge Young Lord (R-18)

    261 Let Me Indulge Young Lord (R-18)


    As he left, Jia Hao finally signaled Xu Chen to stop ying music. " Hoho, I spent quite a lot on you, Chen." Jia Hao grinned as he hugged the waist of Xu Chen.


    " I don''t think a mere music can sate me tonight."


    " Oh, How rouge." Xu Chen giggled as she didn''t resist. " But still I didn''t know you would put up such a fight against Lady Yin Hua."


    " Hmph, Since I am going to take you away from here, It''s only natural for me to not keep any hidden strings attached." Jia Hao snorted lightly.


    " Yes, you speak truth, Young Lord." Xu Chen got off from his grasp and walked towards the bronze mirror. Looking at her reflection, she took out a sharp dagger hidden under her pillow.


    " I never expected to escape this hellhole unscatched. But I did, only due to your effort, Young Lord."


    " Hence, I will break all my strings from this ce and serve solely you."


    Xu Chen gathered her lush long hair and rolled it into a braid. And with a single sh, she cut her hair smoothly.


    " Chen¡­" Putting her severed hair in the burning torch, Xu Chen looked at Jia Hao with a limpid gaze.


    " Young Lord Jia, Thank you for saving me. From today, I will be a new person."


    " I will be only Xu Chen, your Xu Chen."


    Jia Hao walked towards her and hugged her tightly. His hand caressed her quivering back with a warmth of security, making her calm down.


    " It''s alright, Chen." Jia Hao whispered. " Soon enough, I will also get your family out of the prison."


    " But for now¡­" Jia Hao let go of her as he looked at her hair. " Hmm, We should try to fix your hair a bit."


    Xu Chenughed lightly. " Yes, It does feel a bit messy. Please wait a bit, I will make it presentable."


    Serving Jia Hao a tter of fruits and a ss of wine, Xu Chen sat before the bronze mirror and startedbing her hair.


    Soon enough, she fixed her uneven hair and turned it into a different style.


    Jia Hao was stunned as he looked at her, her long hair now only touching her shoulders. Yet, she looked elegant and bright in her own way, making him salivate.


    '' Damn, Whether you put a gold coin in a pile of gold or a pile of silver, its value never changes.''


    " How¡­How am I looking, Young Lord?" Xu Chen lowered her gaze as she asked in a small voice.


    However, she was slightly panicking in her heart. After all, long hair is strictly preferable in this age.


    '' I cut my hair in the heat of moment. But what if he doesn''t like it? Heavens, I am so anxious.''


    " Gorgeous as usual, Chen." Jia Hao sighed as he stood up. " But you are just teasing me in that way."


    " I have wasted quite a lot of time chatting with Lady Yin Hua and you. I am sure you don''t want to chat all night, do you?"


    Xu Chen''s lips curled as she looked at Jia Hao. " Oh? But I think that''s what is in my mind. What else Young Lord wish if not to chat?"


    " Yo-You!" Jia Hao stumbled when he heard that.


    " Hmph, Looks like someone is itching for a lesson."


    He walked towards Xu Chen and held her waist, lifting her in his arms like a princess.


    " Kyahh~ Son in Law of Cai Family is forcing upon a poor courtesan!" Xu Chen giggled as she let out a low whimper.


    " Hmph, Just see what else I am gonna do." Jia Hao loved her yful antics as he walked toward the bed carrying her.


    cing her on the bed, he pinned her below him. Their lips met in a feverish passion.


    " Mmnnhh!~"


    Xu Chen closed her eyes, her tongue entangling with Jia Hao''s like two serpents in love. Her hands moved as she swiftly took off the upper robe of Jia Hao.


    " You look even more beautiful, Young Lord. I am rather envious of your skin."


    Xu Chen muttered yfully as her fingers traced the abs of Jia Hao.


    " Hehe, Come with me so we can bathe every day together. I will tell the secret of my skin then." Jia Hao gave a mischievousugh as he swiftly undressed Xu Chen, rubbing his face on her heaving breasts.


    " Hmph, I feel you want to do something else with me other than bathing." Xu Chen pouted. But a soft gasp escaped her lips as she felt Jia Hao''s lips roaming on her jade rabbits.


    " Mm, They have gotten so full. I shall have some buns in my dinner tonight." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Unngh!~"


    Xu Chen nibbled her lips as she tried her best to not moan loudly. Her body quivered as Jia Hao caressed her left breast while feasting on the right with his lips.


    The gentle mp of his lips as his tongue gave wet flicks to her pebbled nibbles, Xu Chen felt a heatwave of lust spreading across her body.


    " Hnngh!~ Young Lord, You are teasing me too much." Xu Chen panted.


    Yet her fingers fisted around Jia Hao''s hair, keeping himtched on her breasts. Her lowered body gently rubbed against Jia Hao, trying to use that friction to calm the ache between her legs.


    " Oh? I thought you wanted to chat all night?"


    Jia Hao raised his head, leaving a trail of saliva connecting his lips with the perky pink pebble.


    " That''s¡­I was just¡­.Teasing you." Xu Chen muttered as she looked to the side.


    " Then what do you want?" Jia Hao asked in an equally teaseful voice.


    " Young Lord, You know what I want¡­" Xu Chen whispered. " No, I don''t. Spell it for me, please?"


    Xu Chen bit her lips as she nced at Jia Hao. " Fine, You want to know what I want?"


    " I want you to make myst night here memorable."


    " I want to indulge you, till my body exhausts. So when I walk in tomorrow morning, everyone shall see what you have done to me."


    " Ooh, Quite kinky."Jia Hao whistled as he licked his fingers. Then his fingers slowly slid down, gently caressing the wet slit of Xu Chen


    " Nnngh!~ You are quite skilled¡­with your fingers."


    Xu Chen panted as she could feel Jia Hao''s fingers caressing herbia and teasing her clit.


    " But what I want¡­isn''t your fingers."


    Jia Hao parted her legs as his hardened manhood came into Xu Chen''s sight. Despite seeing it for quite some time already, Xu Chen couldn''t help but marvel at the sheer size of it.


    Slowly rubbing against her slit, Jia Hao kept sliding his cock on Xu Chen''s entrance, like sharpening a knife on a rough stone.


    " Nngh! Young Lord¡­Put it in already." Xu Chen whimpered like a needy girl. The mes of lust already making her thighs ache.


    " Unngh! It''s in¡­It''s finally in!~"


    This time, Xu Chen couldn''t stop herself as she moaned loudly. She could feel Jia Hao''s cock filling her like a perfect key in a lock.


    Her inner wall stretched, trying to amodate their favorite intruder.


    " Haah! It''s fully in!~"


    Xu Chen wrapped his arms around Jia Hao''s neck as he bottomed himself to the hilt in her.


    " Mhm, As you said, I am going to make tonight unforgettable for you." Jia Hao grinned as their fingers interlocked.


    Slowly, his hips started to move. He pulled out his cock all the way to his tip before thrusting in back, making Xu Chen''s body rock with his own.


    The first few minutes went smoothly and romantic.


    Then¡­


    *PLAP! PLAP! PLAP! PLAP!*


    " AHHN! AHNNH! HNNGH! HARDER! PLEASE FUCK HARDER!"


    Xu Chen didn''t try to hide her moans anymore as she clung to Jia Hao''s body like a leaf desperately trying to weather a storm.


    Her body moved vigorously, rocking in sync with Jia Hao. His hips moved faster and faster, pounding down Xu Chen''s body at a delicious pace.


    " Hehe, Oh Chen, I missed you so much.


    " Unngh! Me too, Young Lord. I missed you so much." Xu Chen moaned as Jia Hao moved her side, spooning her from behind.


    The pounds became fast-paced thrusts as Jia Hao hugged Xu Chen''s waist for grip.


    " Every night¡­I imagined¡­Laying in your arm¡­Basking in your warmth."


    " I am so¡­Ahhn!~ Happy¡­Tonighhh!~"


    Xu Chen''s eyes rolled back in pleasure and her speech became slurry.


    After more than an hour of wrestling, Jia Hao finally grunted.


    " Haah, Chen, Herees the first."


    " Cum in me, Young Lord! Fill me up with your essence!~"


    " I am cumming!~"


    *PSSHHH!*


    Xu Chen''s body quivered as she felt a gush of warmness inside her. Her pussy spasmed, trying to milk everyst drop from Jia Hao''s pistoning staff.


    " Hnngh!~ It was¡­Haannh¡­Amazing." She panted as she looked at Jia Hao from the side.


    Their lips met once again as they rolled on the bed entangled, preparing for their second bout of love.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Yawn¡­"


    " Brother Ye¡­"


    " Huh?! Who is it?" Ye Kong suddenly woke as he was dozing off.


    " I thought you said he is going toe in an hour?" Luo Qiang asked in a sheepish voice.


    " It''s almost dawn though?"

 Chapter 262 Bringing Mistress Home

    262 Bringing Mistress Home


    " Mnngh!~"


    Xu Chen moaned softly as she opened her eyes. An affectionate smile spread on her lips as she gently caress Jia Hao''s lips.


    " Wake up, Young Lord. It''s dawn already."


    Under the warm quilt, her body snuggled closely to Jia Hao, seeking warmth of his bare skin. '' Haah, How long it has been since I slept so contently?'' Xu Chen sighed blissfully. " Hmm?"


    Jia Hao groaned as he slowly woke up. " It''s morning already?"


    " I should thank heavens for the morning. If the night went any longer¡­" Xu Chen coughed lightly. " Ugh, My throat is sore along with my legs."


    " Anyway, I should go and freshen up. I need to get ready, yes?"


    " ¡­Yes."


    Jia Hao finally sobered up as Xu Chen went to the washroom. His expression darkened as he realized one problem.


    '' Wait, I already said that I would bring back Xu Chen today¡­ But how am I going to do that?''


    '' Damn it, It''s really tough, eh?''


    Bringing a mistress home and letting her meet with his wife, Jia Hao suddenly lost his early confidence.


    " Well, Fuck! A real man doesn''t fear consequences." Jia Hao pped his thighs as he got up.


    He picked a robe and draped it around his torso. However, at that moment, a maid walked into Xu Chen''s room.


    " Young Lord, Two gentlemen from Imperial Capital wishes to meet you."


    Jia Hao was surprised when he heard that. " Imperial Capital you say?"


    " Fine, Lead the way. Also, Ask Chen to gather up her belongings."


    As Jia Hao got down, he saw two people sitting beside the table. However, they looked weary, with dark circles under their eyes.


    " How careless of me. If I had known about your arrival, I would have came earlier." Jia Hao smiled as he approached them.


    Luo Qiang and Ye Kong were surprised when he heard that.


    " You are Cai Family''s Son In Law, Jia Hao?" Ye Kong asked.


    " I believe you know me already." Jia Hao turned to leave.


    " Please follow me. The Cai Family''s bun shop is nearby. Let''s talk while having breakfast, yes?"


    " Uhh, I don''t think so. We just came here¡­"


    " Mr. Ye¡­" Luo Qiang called with a soft voice.


    *GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE!*


    Jia Hao''s smile widened when he heard the grumbling noise from Luo Qiang''s stomach.


    " A solid day begins with a solid breakfast. So, Allow me to attend you." Jia Haoughed as he guided them.


    *NOM! NOM!*


    " WAO! ZHIS BUN¡­.ZHIS ISH SO TASTY!"


    Luo Qiang''s eyes sparkled he quickly devoured the buns. " I only heard that Cai Family''s cuisine is extraordinary. I didn''t expect it''s actually up to its name." Ye Kong nodded.


    " I am d you liked our breakfast. Please have some tea to digest it." Jia Hao poured them tea. " And now, since everything is settled, How about we talk?"


    " I am Ye Kong from the Sixth Divison of Scale Dragon Division."


    " I am Luo Qiang from...Scaled Dragon Investigation team."


    " Looks like Brother Luo is here for sightseeing. It''s not good to lie in early morning." Jia Hao chuckled.


    " How did you know I was lying?" Luo Qiang was stunned. Ye Kong was also surprised.


    " I have my ways. Besides, I don''t think I am worthy of being an investigator if I can''t differentiate between truth and lies, yes?"


    " Haha, Then let me re introduce myself. My name is Luo Qiang, I am from the Three Sage Academy. I am a good friend of Brother Ye Kong so I tagged along with him."


    " I see. Then what can I do for you?" Jia Hao nodded.


    " Elder Wu of Divine Martial Hall has rmended your name. He praised your ability to solve crimes."


    " Recently, There have been some problems in Qingyang County. So, You are required to help us in the investigation there."


    " Qingyang County?" Jia Hao frowned. But before he could say anything, Ye Kong pulled out a scroll and showed it to Jia Hao.


    '' This is marked with an Imperial Seal. So, I guess I can''t avoid this order, huh?'' His expression turned a bit sour.


    " I see, I understand." Jia Hao nodded. " However, I need some time to prepare. How about tomorrow?"


    " We can wait till tomorrow." Ye Kong nodded. Jia Hao got up as he passed an emblem to Ye Kong.


    " Please show this in Tianxiang Pavilion. You will be able to enjoy our delicacies for free and purchase some things at a discount."


    Name: Ye Kong

    '' Hmm, Looks like Luo Qiang gets some sort of information first. But before he could deliver it, he gets killed.''


    '' Then Ye Kong tries to follow his trail and meets his demise in ambush.''


    '' Haah! Another troublesome case.'' Jia Hao sighed as he facepalmed himself.


    Meanwhile, it was truly a strange situation in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Wahhh! Lady Xu is leaving!"


    " Young Miss, Please let me follow you."


    " Ah Ching, Ah Tong, Both of you already did so much for me." Xu Chen gave each of those maids five thousand taels of gold each.


    " Use this money and leave this ce. And then, find someone to marry. You don''t need to follow me anymore."


    " But Miss¡­"


    " This is my order." Xu Chen spoke in a stern voice. " Now go, Live your life as you wish."


    Turning around and giving the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion ast gaze, Xu Chen sat in the carriage and left.
