Chapter 2013

In the dead of night, in a great hall within the Zhang Family Manor.

The Zhang Family’s old woman set up a banquet to treat Yang Kai, to thank him for today’s kindness. There were only Yang Kai, the middle-aged beautiful woman, and the old woman at the table.

That young girl Zhang Ruoxi stood aside and served attentively holding a wine jug and pouring wine for the three people. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Kai from time to time, full of gratitude and admiration.

The girl was not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old in the prime of her youth and at the time of longing for heroes. Today, Yang Kai almost single-handedly wiped out the Lu Family and avenged her Zhang Family. How could the girl not worship him?

Among the people she had come into contact with in her life, perhaps only Zhang Gaoxuan was the strongest in strength. Unfortunately, her grandfather died in the Five-Colored Pagoda.

And Yang Kai also didn’t look very old, but he had a stronger strength than her grandfather. Naturally, it made her couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Perhaps also due to the influence of the wine aroma the girl’s small face at this moment, under the illumination of the candlelight appeared flushed. She had been lowering her head and standing there. Only when she needed to pour wine would she move around a little, looking extremely cute and obedient.

“Our Zhang Family has nothing much to offer. Please, benefactor, don’t be polite at all.” Although the old woman was not yet healed from her injuries, she still looked ruddy and greeted Yang Kai warmly to eat and drink.

The middle-aged beautiful woman also warmly greeted beside her.

“Madam, you’re too kind. I really don’t deserve to be called your benefactor. If you don’t mind, you can just call me by my name.” Yang Kai felt extremely uncomfortable being called benefactor by the old woman again and again.

Previously, after the Zhang family’s widows and orphans killed Lu Baichuan, Yang Kai had already wanted to leave. If it wasn’t’d for the relationship between Zhang Ruoxi and the Void Spirit Jade Disk), he would never have agreed to stay no matter what.

However, he didn’t know how to bring up this matter. He instinctively felt that the Void Spirit Jade Disk hid no small secret, and this was very likely related to the Zhang family. If he brought it up rashly, it would only have the opposite effect, so he could only look for the right opportunity.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look up at Zhang Ruoxi. Coincidentally, he saw this little girl quietly looking at him with a pair of bright eyes.

Seeing Yang Kai looking at her, Zhang Ruoxi was so scared that she trembled. She quickly lowered her head, and her pretty face turned red in an instant.

Yang Kai chuckled and casually shifted his gaze.

The beautiful woman sitting on Yang Kai’s left side, however, took this scene into her eyes. She didn’t know what she was thinking, but she actually pursed her lips and smiled.

“Madam, the matter of the Lu family has been resolved. According to what we agreed before, this means that I have fulfilled my agreement with Brother Zhang.” Yang Kai’s expression became solemn as he spoke.

“Naturally.” The old woman nodded.

“As for that Dao Source Pill, after I find an alchemist to refine it, I will naturally come and hand it over to the Zhang family. Please rest assured, Madam.”

The old woman chuckled and said, “Your character, Benefactor, is still trustworthy. Moreover, our Zhang family is not in a hurry. Now that our Zhang family’s talents are withering, even if we get the Dao Source Pill, what can we do？ So you don’t need to worry about this matter. When you have time to find someone to refine it, then talk about it.”

“That’s the best.” Yang Kai nodded.

Just at this time. The middle-aged beautiful woman who had not spoken much suddenly said, “Brother Yang is young, but has such amazing cultivation, and is also handsome and extraordinary. Presumably, there are not a few women who love you, right？”

Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this. He didn’t expect the middle-aged beautiful woman to talk to him about this at all matter.

The old woman also frowned. Although she felt that it was a bit inappropriate for a woman to talk to Yang Kai about this, she knew that her daughter-in-law would not shoot without a target, so she didn’t say much, but tasted the wine with a calm expression.

The beautiful woman was also observing the situation. Seeing that after Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, there was a look of memory in his eyes and the expression on his face also softened. She couldn’t help but feel a sudden shock in her heart and knew that Yang Kai must not be blank in terms of feelings.

However, after thinking about it carefully. It’s no wonder. Although Yang Kai looks young, since he can cultivate to the Void King Third Layer realm, he must have extraordinary experiences. On this road of life, he will always meet some unforgettable women.

If Yang Kai was really completely ignorant about matters of the heart, that would be truly strange.

The banquet seemed to have fallen into a strange silent atmosphere because of Yang Kai’s memories.

After a long time, Yang Kai finally let out a long sigh and stood up, saying, “Madam, it’s already late at night. I’ll go back and rest first. Madam, you were injured in the great battle during the day. You should also rest early to avoid the deterioration of your injury.

The old woman smiled and nodded： “Thank you, benefactor, for your concern. Since that’s the case, Ruoxi, take the benefactor to the guest room and serve him well.”

“Yes.” Hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi put down the wine pot and curtsied gracefully to Yang Kai, saying, “Sir, please come with me.”

Yang Kai excused himself and left with Zhang Ruoxi.

After Yang Kai left, the old woman glared at the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman had an embarrassed look on her face and said, “Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law knows that I said the wrong thing.”

“Hmph！ Fortunately, it didn’t make the benefactor unhappy. Otherwise, this old woman would definitely not let you off.” The old woman snorted coldly.

The beautiful woman nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“However… what were you inquiring about those things for just now？” The old woman frowned and asked again.

The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “Didn’t you notice, Mother-in-law？ At the table, this benefactor seemed to look at Ruoxi several times.”

“So what？” The old woman asked rhetorically.

The beautiful woman said, “Although Ruoxi doesn’t have the appearance that can make fish sink and geese fall, she can also be regarded as a little beauty. I’m afraid this benefactor has some interest in Ruoxi.”

Upon hearing this, the old woman hesitated and said, “Impossible？ Ruoxi is only at the first level of the Saint King Realm. How could she catch the eye of the benefactor？”

The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “Mother-in-law, when a man looks at a woman, he doesn’t just look at her cultivation level. He also looks at the feeling. When the feeling comes, what does it matter if the cultivation level is low? If the feeling is not right, even if the cultivation level is high, it’s meaningless.”

The old woman said unhappily, “Are you teaching this old woman that I don’t understand the way between men and women？”

The beautiful woman stuck out her fragrant tongue and said, “How dare your daughter-in-law do that? It’s just that now our Zhang family is in a weak position. Gao Xuan died tragically in the Five-Colored Pagoda. Although the Lu family has been wiped out now and we don’t have to worry about foreign enemies in a short time, mother-in-law, don’t forget that within ten thousand miles around here, there is not only the Lu family. If our Zhang family doesn’t have the shelter of some strong people what if a powerful enemy comes one day? And the three requests that the benefactor agreed with Gao Xuan have been used up by us all at once. It’s impossible to ask him to help again in the future.”

The old woman said thoughtfully, “You mean…”

The beautiful woman smiled charmingly and said, “If we can make our Zhang family have some relationship with him, when our Zhang family is in trouble in the future, can he still stand by and watch？ And Ruoxi is the key to having a relationship with the benefactor.”

“I understand what you want to say.” The old woman nodded and pondered for a moment. “If what you said is true, this may not be a bad way. Gao Xuan is dead, and our Zhang family really should think about the future path.”

“That’s right. Moreover, he is so young and has already reached the Void King Third Layer Realm. And from his performance during the day, it seems that he is not an ordinary Void King Third Layer Realm. Ordinary Void King Third Layer Realm cultivators don’t have the ability to penetrate into the Lu family and capture Lu Baichuan alive！ With his talent, it is not impossible for him to be promoted to the Dao Source Realm in the future. If our Zhang family can have some relationship with him, it can be regarded as taking shelter under a big tree！ Even if we are widows and orphans, who would dare to provoke us at that time？”

Hearing this, the old woman’s eyes lit up and she was greatly tempted. Around Fenglin City, there are not many families that can have a relationship with a Dao Source Realm powerhouse. If there is a Dao Source Realm powerhouse to protect them, the family can at least ensure a hundred years of peace and security.

However, she was still a little hesitant and said, “That’s what you said, but I’m afraid it’s just wishful thinking on our part. What if it makes the benefactor unhappy…”

The beautiful woman smiled charmingly and said, “Mother, we can do this…”

As she spoke, she moved closer and whispered in the old woman’s ear.

The old woman nodded again and again. After a long while, she smiled and said, “Okay, okay, what you said is very good. Let’s do as you said. However, in this case, it will be hard on Ruoxi.”

The beautiful woman smiled and said, “How could it be hard for her？ I think that benefactor is by no means a bad person. If Ruoxi really follows him, she will probably enjoy endless blessings. Mother, don’t worry. I will go and explain this matter to Ruoxi in the evening.”

“Well, if Ruoxi doesn’t agree, you don’t force her either. I don’t want to exchange her happiness for the future of our Zhang family.” The old woman nodded.

……

Under the leadership of that young girl, Yang Kai walked around in the manor. In a short while, he came to a side room. The young girl pushed the door and entered, making the bed and folding the quilt with extreme proficiency.

On the way, Yang Kai deliberately asked her a few words. However, judging from the young girl’s reaction, she was an extremely shy person. When answering Yang Kai’s questions, her voice trembled continuously and her face turned bright red, making Yang Kai too embarrassed to speak more.

After everything was dealt with, the young girl then bowed and said, “Sir, you can rest now. Ruoxi takes her leave.”

“Thank you for your trouble.” Yang Kai nodded.

The young girl quickly walked past him. By the moonlight, Yang Kai clearly saw that the tips of her ears were all crimson.

After the young girl left, Yang Kai then turned his head to look around this side room and found that the decoration inside the side room was rather luxurious. Immediately, he waved his hand, and the power and spiritual consciousness in his body were wrapped up, forming a restriction in the side room to isolate the detection of outsiders.

With a flash, he came to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to check today’s harvest.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the things obtained from the Lu Family’s secret treasury. The number of those Source Crystals is quite substantial, amounting to over six hundred thousand.

Combined with Yang Kai’s previous harvests, he now has almost one million lower-grade Source Crystals.

There are also some secret treasures in the secret treasury, all of the Void King level. Yang Kai only took a few glances and then casually threw them into the Space Ring. As for some rare ores, he stuffed them into the Little Mysterious Realm for the Dharma Body to absorb and smelt with the Heaven Devouring Battle Law.

There are also some pills. Yang Kai checked them one by one, sorted them into categories, and prepared them for future needs.

Next, Yang Kai inspected Lu Baichuan’s Space Ring again. The things obtained were basically the same as those in the secret treasury.

However, that Thunderwind Hammer and Silver Moon Purple Frost Saber did attract a little of Yang Kai’s attention. The Thunderwind Hammer was just so-so. Although it could control the power of lightning and was fierce and overbearing, it was a Void King level secret treasure and could not be exerted beyond its limits.

But the Silver Moon Purple Frost Saber could stimulate a trace of the power of laws.
