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 see you 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 relaxed her body and going to sleep.
When the sun rose, Jia Hao slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes lazily.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Jia Hao suddenly woke up, finding himself in a strange dark place, with grey mist slowly rising from the ground.
” Traveler with immense fortune, you finally managed to repair the first layer 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 voice coming 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 third layer.” The voice echoed. ” For now, I don’t have much time…Else I might catch their attention.”
” From now on, I shall explain 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 balance and not let your side become 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 explain to you, as you are smart enough to know by yourself.”
” I shall come back after you finish repairing the second layer.”
” 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 place.
His body relaxed 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 he coming with a water basin.
” En, Wife wake up quite early, no?”
” Of course, Young Lady has always been an early bird.” Minmin placed 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 clapped his palm.
After getting ready hurriedly, he walked to the Law Enforcement Hall in the Cai Family household.
Seeing the crowd had already started to come, the Cai Family guards stood vigilantly, 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.

[ Recent Future Points: After two months, he would be forced to escape from Nanhai City due to being unable to repay debt to the Black 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 Black Bear Gang. Without that good, Lin Bei was unable to get money to pay back his debt]
