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 Clay 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 popular 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 clarity.
” This soup makes men increase their libido and last 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 a lamp 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 Chenlan 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 place.” Cai Yixue looked at her. ” The place 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’s late and you must be tired. Not coming 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 cosplaying 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 internet for sweet little internet 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 cosplay, 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.”
