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 black robe with a mask on his face stood there.
” Forgive us, General, We should have come 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 time comes?” 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 plans 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 light laugh as he bowed his head. ” Then, I wish a rather slow recovery of General.”
Meanwhile, Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue with a sheepish glance.
” 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 good thing?”
“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…’
” Young lady, 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 should come back later.” 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 glared 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 explained.
” 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.’
