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 to completion!]
[ 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 innate comprehension already increased by a lot. But with this, I think my comprehension 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 to come 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 wrote last night? How did the information travel so fast? Or it’s those two bastards who instigated flames 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 explain.
” 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 Chenlan’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 planning 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 are coming 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 Yunhai laughed 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 plastered on his face.
” You still violated 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 similarly 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 circulated 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 Chenlan last 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 already large 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!”
