Chapter 264 Husband, Tell Me a Story
Jia Hao spent hours inside his study room. His hands moved like flowing lightning quickly drawing and writing on paper. After writing a stack, he finally sat down with exhaustion.
" Finally, I completed it. With this, everything will go smoothly." Jia Hao wiped his sweat.
In front of him was a complete plan of mountain digging and irrigation to grow the crops of soybean and sweet potatoes.
' The mountain is already in good shape because people in the past tried to dig there to create flat lands. With a little effort, terrace farming can be achieved here.'
' After that, The villagers of Anzu Villages need to follow my instructions and plant the crops. I will leave them some fertilizers too.'
Stretching his arms he walked out. When he arrived at his courtyard, he saw an interesting scene.
" Haah! Haaah!"
Xu Chenlan was practicing her sword technique in the courtyard. As she awakened blue colored internal qi, she was suitable for heavy swordsmanship and defense.
However, she was using a light sword, making her movements slightly different that usual.
Yet, she managed to keep her form steady and execute attacks one after another.
" I guess you mastered the Xuan grade technique I gave to you."
Xu Chenlan paused and lowered her sword when she heard Jia Hao's voice. " I am really thankful to you, Young Lord. If it wasn't for your timely help back then, that Shen Family bastard…"
" Leave it, No need to remember those bad memories." Jia Hao shook his head. " However, that technique was something you learned out of necessity. It doesn't suit you, and neither does this sword."
" Young Lord, You are worrying too much." Xu Chenlan smiled. " I am already contented with what I have. And I have already solidified my foundation of Mid stage Profound Awakening Realm."
" This won't do." Jia Hao didn't let Xu Chenlan finish her sentence. " I will ask someone to forge a sword for you."
" Didn't you say you are my bodyguard? You need to be powerful enough to protect me, right?"
Xu Chenlan couldn't find any fault in Jia Hao's words as she finally gave up. " Fine, I won't argue with you. Do as you please."
" I am going out. I don't know when I will return." Jia Hao spoke in a soft voice.
" Then I shall pray for your victory and well-being." Xu Chenlan smiled, Besides, It will give me some time to refine my martial arts."
" So when you go out next time, I will follow you as a proper bodyguard."
" Tsk, Silly girl." Jia Hai smiled as he turned to leave.
As he just walked outside, he paused his steps. " What? Isn't she a good seedling, Old Yang?"
" Heizzz, I must be getting old. To think my stealth technique never works on you." Old Yang appeared from a pillar as he sighed.
" I have been watching her. She might have the talent to match the second young lady." Old Yang spoke with some thought.
" I will draw a design. Ask our blacksmiths to forge a sword for her. Also, Do you have any suitable techniques for her?"
" Son in Law, you are really audacious. Using resources from your wife's family to train your mistress." Old Yang mumbled under his breath.
" Old Yang, did you complain?"
" No-Not at all!" Old Yang shook his head. " There are some good ones in Cai Family's treasury. I believe things left behind by Eldest Lord shall do."
" Eldest Lord, huh?"
Jia Hao fell into thought when he heard that. The Eldest Lord was none other than the elder brother of Cai Yunhai, the Grand General of Northern Border.
' I truly wonder what kind of figure he is.'
When the night fell…
" What? How come you are here?" Cai Yixue asked in a sincere surprised voice. " I thought you are going to sleep with Xu Chenlan."
" Wife, Are you really going to remain angry on me for the entire day?" Jia Hao sighed. " You know I am leaving tomorrow, yes?"
" Why do you have to go…" Cai Yixue mumbled in a small voice. " Anyway, I don't care about it. You want to go to Qingyang County, You go. What is has to do with me?"
" Fine, I understand you are angry. How about this?" Jia Hao gave a smirk,
" What is it?"
" Come to bed, I will tell."
" I won't. You are a smelly hooligan." Cai Yixue pouted as she looked away.
" Are you really not coming?"
" Hmph!"
Cai Yixue sighed as she walked towards the bed. She wore a light and frilly cloth to sleep comfortably. Jia Hao could see the glimpses of her snow white thighs and the ravine between her perky breasts.
As she got on the bed, Jia Hao sat behind him.
" Wife, You are working so much. How about I massage you? It will relax your muscles."
" Hmm…Sounds good. But… I really don't trust you." She stared back at Jia Hao. " Do you want to massage me or just wish to grope my body?"
" What do you think?" Jia Hao chuckled.
Cai Yixue gave him a side eye as she lay on the bed. " You better don't mess up."
Jia Hao sat beside her as he slowly started to rub her shoulders. Then her fingers moved and relieved the acupoints near her neck and spine.
" Unngh!~"
A soft gasp escaped from her lips as Cai Yixue buried her face in the pillow.
" Is it feeling good?"
" A little…" Cai Yixue didn't admit it, But Jia Hao could feel how comfortable her body was becoming under his touch.
" I want to ask something to you." Cai Yixue suddenly spoke. " You… Do you hate me?"
" Why do you think that?" Jia Hao asked.
" Because I am so annoying." Cai Yixue spoke in a soft voice. " I haven't fulfilled the duties of a wife since the marriage night. "
" Even I said I won't say anything if you look for other women, I clearly didn't like it. I…Don't you feel I can't neither rope you towards me, nor let you go properly?"
" What do you want me to tell you?" Jia Hao chuckled. " Wife, You are questioning yet already answering your own question."
" I know… I just want to vent." Cai Yixue mumbled. " I just don't know what to do."
" Then figure it out. We have plenty of time to do that."
" Ahhn!~" Continue your adventure with empire
Cai Yixue could feel a spread of warm energy through her body, rejuvenating her sore body.
" More time for us, hm? I wonder how many rivals I will have when you return from Qingyang County?" Cai Yixue murmured.
" Do you think I am going there to collect concubines?" Jia Hao snorted lightly.
" Hmph, I know what kind of man you are." Cai Yixue bared her teeth. " A fate covered with plum blossoms, you are destined to be a philander."
" Such accusations hurt me, Wife."
" I don't care." Cai Yixue buried her face in the pillow again.
" Husband…"
" Yes, Wife?" Jia Hao replied instantly.
" Tell me a story." Cai Yixue spoke.
" A story?"
" A romantic one."
Jia Hao massaged her back as he nodded.
" Fine, I will start."
" Once upon a time, there was a white snake…"

When the first sunlight peeked through the window, Cai Yixue slowly woke up. Feeling the warm embrace, she realized she was sleeping while hugging Jia Hao as a pillow.
' Hmph, What an absurdly scholarly pervert he is. His storytelling was too good.'
' Tale of White Serpent, I will remember it.'
Alas, she couldn't complain when she saw it was already morning.
' Haah, Why the night was so short? A bit more…'
" Husband, Wake up. It's already morning." Cai Yixue called Jia Hao with a soft voice.
" Hmm…"
A soft fragrance filled his nostrils as Jia Hao opened his eyes. Seeing Cai Yixue so close to his face, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, his body moved, and his lips sealed her lips.
Cai Yixue was stunned as her remaining sleepiness vanished instantly. However, she couldn't move at all, allowing Jia Hao taking a sweet time kissing her.
" Bah! Shameless!"
Cai Yixue finally got up as she escaped from Jia Hao's grasp. " It's not even morning and you are again being a rouge."
" So what? Can't I be rouge with my wife?" Jia Hao retorted.
Cai Yixue spat when she heard that. " You have no decency at all."
Saying that she turned and hurried out. Not long after, she returned with a water basin and helped Jia Hao to freshen up.
However, before they could do anything else, the door opened and Xu Chenlan appeared with a plate full of steaming hot dishes.
" Good Morning, Young Lord and Young Lady. I have brought breakfast for you."
Cai Yixue slightly complained in her heart but didn't show anything on her face.
" You didn't have to do such a thing, Sister Chenlan. Also, Call me Sister Yixue."
" As you wish, Elder Sister Yixue."
" En…"
The sourness in Cai Yixue's heart melted when Xu Chenlan called her elder sister.
' Hmhm, She has some conscience. I will allow her some privilege.'
Jia Hao shook his head when he felt the emotional turmoil of both Xu Chenlan and Cai Yixue.
Truly…Women.
