Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-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 Pavilion last night."
"Oooh, I see. Looks like young lady 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 flames rose with the sound of howling ghosts."
" The green ghost flames were real. They couldn't even put down those flames 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 claimed to see various strange monsters rising from the green flames while others speculated some evil spiritual master doing it.
Many people speculated that it was probably done by the Cai Family. But there was no evidence at all. frёeωebɳovel.com
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, please come 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 Chenlan?"
" 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 Chenlan, 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 Chenlan.
The match ended with a tie. But Jia Hao knew that the chances of Xu Chenlan winning were even greater.
And he also realized the innate ability of blue internal qi, The defenses of Xu Chenlan 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, their combination 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 become 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, placing 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 nonchalant 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 plates before him. " Fried chicken with fresh salad, 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 flavors were even better.
' Not to mention, every ingredient here has a natural aura of heaven and earth, not three kilograms of dust, pollution, and microplastics.'
" 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 accompanying my husband for breakfast."
Jia Hao's heart couldn't help but become warm when he heard that. With both of them smiling at each other, they continued their leisurely breakfast.
