" Why are you so angry? You weren't even naked…" Jia Hao pouted as he rubbed his face.
" Besides, Why did you throw a pillow at ? It would have been better if you threw your dudou at ."
" Do you want to pull out my dagger?" Cai Yixue spoke icily when she heard that. She hurriedly got behind a curtain and changed her clothes to sothing casual.
" I am truly marveled at your ability to co and go where you please." Cai Yixue rubbed her cheeks to remove the earlier blush.
" Heh, Now thinking how amazing your husband is?" Jia Hao grinned.
" No, I am thinking more about the pattern." Cai Yixue looked at him. " Looks like you can only appear when you have disappeared. So you sleep on this bed and disappear, and appear on this bed."
" I wonder what will happen if I push the bed away when you were gone?"
" You want to break my back due to fall damage?" Jia Hao's face darkened.
" We have tons of healing dicines now, yes?" Cai Yixue smirked.
Jia Hao let out a stifling laugh as he rubbed his face. " As expected, you are pretty smart. A bit too…smart, I guess."
After that, Both of them beca silent. A minute of heavy heavy silence passed.
" How are you?"
" How are you?"
Both of them spoke at the sa ti. Cai Yixue blushed a bit as she cleared her throat.
" I was just wondering what you were doing the past week. Nothing more."
" Tsk, You won't lose any weight if you show a bit of affection, Wife." Jia Hao teased Cai Yixue as he got up from the bed.
" Shall I ask soone to bring sothing to eat?"
" Hmm, Not now. I can wait for the dinner." Jia Hao smiled.
" Let brew so tea for you then. We can talk in the garden." Cai Yixue turned around.
But suddenly, Jia Hao flashed towards her, hugging her from behind. Cai Yixue's breath hitched as she felt the warmth of Jia Hao on her nape.
However, she made no moves to get out of his embrace.
" Can you tell what you are doing?" She pretended to be annoyed, but her voice was as small as a mosquito.
" Just rembering the fragrance of your body." Jia Hao murmured. " I see, You used the jasmine soap today."
" I…I felt like using it." Cai Yixue answered. " Why? It doesn't suit ?"
" No, It suits you well." Jia Hao gave a light peck on her nape. " Though, I like your natural scent even more."
" More feminine, more…arousing?"
" Pervert!"
Cai Yixue finally couldn't bear any longer as she pushed Jia Hao and hurriedly walked out.
" Stay here. I am bringing tea."
" Ah, Wait." Jia Hao stopped her as he passed her a pouch. " Brew this tea. We shall drink it together."
" Another product?" Cai Yixue was surprised, but nodded. " Fine, I will do it."
As she left, Jia Hao sat down and focused in his Pot of Miracles.

' Although it's not an Epic level drop, the Misty Mountain Tea is quite a good enchantnt of my ten yuan tea. I rember the Da Hong Pao's mother tree is almost extinct.'
' Not to ntion, I doubt even the mother tree could have such a potent effect.'
Jia Hao noticed that he only had 50 Chaos Energy remaining. The rest were used to randomly enchant the items he brought this ti.

' Whoa, This is so seriously cool stuff!'
Jia Hao saw a slick tallic wristband around his wrist.
" Work in the dark, to serve the light!"
*SWISH!*
With a light twist of his wrist, a pitch black blade appeared from the wristband, almost thirty centiters long.
" Haha! As expected!"
Jia Hao laughed in delight. But suddenly, he paused as he turned around. Cai Yixue was standing with a tray with teapot and cups, looking at him silently.
" Did you hear anything?"
" No." Cai Yixue answered with a demure face.
" Good."
Jia Hao retracted the blade and nodded with a placid face. " Anyway, I brought this weapon for you. It will improve your self-defence.
" Do I need to speak that line to make the blade appear?" Cai Yixue asked seriously.
" …That's not necessary."
Jia Hao's face was red as he turned away.
" Fine, Co. I will pour tea."
Cai Yixue felt a hint of amusent as she sat beside the table.

Imperial Capital, Taiyi Hall.
" Greetings, Your Highness."
" Rise, Mu Jing."
Mu Jing raised stood up, but his eyes remained lowered.
" It's fine, You can relax."
" It's your grace, Your Majesty." Mu Jing relaxed his body and cupped his fist.
" So, What's the situation in Nanhai City?"
The question ca in a light voice. However, Mu Jing knew that a single command in that light tone could sway the entire Great Yan Kingdom.
After all, the person before him was none other than the Emperor of Great Yan, Li Zhen.
" Reporting to Your Majesty, The situation of the Nanhai City has been cald down."
" However, it looks like the Cai family has managed to gain the upper hand and solidify both their military and financial dominance across the city."
" Since they didn't send any Silver Lightning Cavalry troops to any other place, Commander Yang is now training them."
" As for the inside of the city, the Tianxiang Pavilion's business is becoming more and more explosive."
" Haah, Here we thought Cai Family is going to decline after this." Li Zhen sighed as he took a sip of his tea.
" But their fortune reversed and they benefited from this calamity. Looks like their son in law is their lucky star."
" Anything else?" Li Zhen asked curiously.
" There is indeed a strange thing, Your Majesty." Mu Jing took a mont before speaking.
" This ti, the death of injured soldiers has been reduced by more than half."
" What?!"
This ti, Li Zhen's expression didn't remain calm. " What do you an? That more than half of the soldiers who were injured by the monster tide survived?"
" Your Majesty is correct. Although they are still in a recovery phase, they have escaped the clutches of death."
" It was rumored because of the new thing called soap launched by Cai Family."
" The one Concubine Yu was whining about?" Li Zhen's lips twitched.
" … Yes, Your Majesty. But I have already delivered them in the Imperial Harem."
" Good job." Li Zhen sighed. " But what you said made curious. So, these soaps aren't costics, but also have dicinal properties?"
" According to what I heard from Pharmacist Mo of the Cai Family, washing the wounds with soap before covering them with fresh gauge can prevent infection. As long as infection is prevented, amputations or even death can be prevented."
" Its effect is lesser than the Green Healing Dan, but it's cheaper and can be easily distributed to the masses."
" Interesting, how interesting." Li Zhen nodded. " Send the soaps to the Imperial Alchemists. Let them figure out the thing."
" His Majesty, Do you require anything? We have brought quite so things from Nanhai City."
" Hah, I have no interest in those feminine soaps." Li Zhen shook his head.
" I heard they created a soap with a new fragrance. It's called Masculine Tiger Soap, especially for n. It's more expensive than regular ones."
" What a bold na." Li Zhen tapped on his table with his index finger. " Leave it in my bathing chamber. I will see it evening."
' Damn, A soap for n? With such a bold na, I hope it works like that,' Li Zhen mumbled inwardly.
' Ugh, Even Empress's hair looking so lush and her skin is so soft. Finally, I can have a soap for myself.'
Not long after Mu Jing left. Li Zhen leaned back on the chair.
" So, Any thoughts about the little mischief of my second son?" Li Zhen spoke in a placid voice. " His plan went very well. Unfortunately, the Cai Family simply flipped the table on his face."
" Lord, Shall I call him to your study?"
" No, Let him be." Li Zhen spoke. " On the contrary, You can call Li Qing. I heard he alleviated the symptoms of princess?"
" You are right, Lord. The Bright Snow Lotus he brought worked well."
" Hmhm, Give him so appreciation, a million taels of gold, and a bottle of True Yuan Pills."
" As you wish, Lord."
" The winds are changing." Li Zhen looked in the distance. " Maybe Nanhai City will give further surprises."
" Prepare a morial for Scaled Dragon Hall. Maybe we can use the abilities of Cai Family's Son in Law?"
