Chapter 2014

Before promoting to the Dao Source Realm, this Silver Moon Purple Frost Saber was still a bit useful to him.

Among the secret treasures in his hands, the most precious ones were undoubtedly the Four Great Emperor Treasures, but each one could not be easily revealed in front of others. Other than that, there was only the Dragon Bone Sword left.

However, Yang Kai had already made up his mind to take some time to fuse the Dragon Bone Sword into his body, so this Secret Treasure was bound to disappear in the near future. The Silver Moon Purple Frost Saber just filled the gap in this regard. The grade of this Secret Treasure was not too high, and taking it out to use would not attract too much attention. Moreover, it was rare that it could also attract a trace of Principle Strength.

With this thought in mind, Yang Kai put away the Silver Moon Purple Frost Saber and did not bother to refine it carefully, so as not to waste time. In this way, it could be replaced at any time when there was a better one.

After that, he solemnly took out the Void Spirit Jade Disk from the Space Ring.

As soon as the pitch-black round jade appeared, Yang Kai felt the difference between it and during the day. At this moment, this Void Spirit Jade Disk was actually trembling slightly, exuding a mysterious and profound power fluctuation, and layers of pitch-black ripples were rippling across its surface.

The pitch-black jade disk seemed to have become even darker, like a black hole, eager to devour all things！

“Sure enough, there is a reaction！” Seeing this, how could Yang Kai not know that the reason why the Void Spirit Jade Disk had such a change was entirely because Zhang Ruoxi was nearby. When Yang Kai saw it during the day, this thing was as calm as a deep well.

At this moment, he clearly felt that obvious spatial power fluctuations were surging out from the Jade Disk. If someone were to be immersed in such power fluctuations for a long time, it might not be impossible to pry into the cultivation method of spatial power.

Zhang Ruoxi lived in the Lu family for a month and within that one month Lu Baichuan had his own opportunity and was able to get started with spatial power.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Lu Baichuan wanted his descendants to marry Zhang Ruoxi was entirely because of the ethereal Jade Disk. It could even be said that his deliberate efforts to deal with the Zhang family might also be related to this.

However, Yang Kai still couldn’t detect anything by relying on such fluctuations. If Zhang Ruoxi were to come into contact with such a jade disk, he didn’t know what kind of changes would occur.

Although this thing is now in his hands, ultimately, it still comes from the Zhang family. Yang Kai has taken it for himself. It’s fine if he doesn’t return it to them. After all, this is his spoils of war, and the Zhang family has no standing to say anything. If he were to go and inquire about the secrets of this thing from the Zhang family again, it would be a bit unreasonable.

The people of the Zhang family may not necessarily know the true value of this thing！ Otherwise, two hundred years ago, they wouldn’t have given it as a dowry to the Lu family.

It seems that everything still has to rely on oneself.

Yang Kai secretly made up his mind.

In the next two days, Yang Kai has been living in the Zhang family and has never left the guest room. He has been continuously investigating the secrets are hidden in the Jade Disk, but unfortunately, he has gained nothing.

When he realized that such exploration was not the way to go, he knew that there was no point in staying in the Zhang family any longer. He immediately set off and bid farewell to the mistress of the Zhang family.

The old woman and the middle-aged beautiful woman repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay. Seeing that Yang Kai’s determination to leave was unwavering, they didn’t force him anymore, but personally sent him out of the manor.

“Benefactor, please take care in the future. If you have free time, please condescend to come and stay in my Zhang family more often. The whole Zhang family will definitely welcome you with open arms！” After two days of rest, the old woman’s complexion looked much better. However, after all, she was already old, and she had lost a lot of vitality in the previous battle and simply couldn’t recover.

Seeing her so enthusiastic, Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, There will be a chance. I hope Madam won’t despise me when the time comes.

“Benefactor, this time you resolved the crisis of the Zhang family. The whole Zhang family really has nothing to repay you. I see that benefactor is alone and there may be some inconveniences in daily life. I want Ruoxi to go with benefactor and take care of benefactor’s daily life in the future. Please don’t decline, benefactor！” As the middle-aged beautiful woman spoke, she pulled Zhang Ruoxi, who was hiding behind her, out.

“Huh?” Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. He completely didn’t expect that the middle-aged beautiful woman would have such a proposal before he left. Suddenly, he subconsciously looked at the girl.

He saw that the girl was lowering her head, playing with the corner of her clothes with both hands, her face was blushing, but she was well-behaved and didn’t make a sound.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Yang Kai’s heart, but he quickly understood the intention of this middle-aged beautiful woman.

Obviously, she felt that the Zhang family was now seriously injured and was afraid that a powerful enemy would attack one day. She wanted to build a good relationship with him and make him the protector of the Zhang family. At that time, Zhang Ruoxi could become the bridge between him and the Zhang family.

If he really agreed, seeing Zhang Ruoxi’s face, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing when that time came.

After understanding this, Yang Kai frowned and instinctively had some repulsion, but he couldn’t refuse directly.

Because according to his original idea, he wanted to deal with the matter between him and Kang Siran first. After returning to Fenglin City, he would come to the Zhang family more often to study the ethereal jade carefully. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said to the old woman that there would be a chance in the future.

Who would have known that the Zhang family actually intended to give Zhang Ruoxi to him.

This made him both repel this approach and a little happy, and couldn’t help but have a feeling that it was effortless to get something that he had searched for in vain.

Seeing Yang Kai remain silent in thought, Zhang Ruoxi seemed even more flustered. The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled slightly and said, “Although Ruoxi’s cultivation is not high and she can’t help benefactor in battle, her talent is not bad, and she has a quiet nature and is dexterous. If benefactor takes her with him, he will surely not have to worry about some trivial matters in the future and can focus on cultivation and reach the Dao Source Realm as soon as possible.”

While vigorously promoting Zhang Ruoxi in front of Yang Kai, the middle-aged beautiful woman observed his expression and said, “I’m afraid… benefactor will despise. If so, then it’s just that Ruoxi doesn’t have this good fortune.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ruoxi couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and her two small hands were clenched into fists.

“Miss Ruoxi is beautiful and intelligent. How could I despise her? It’s just…” Yang Kai frowned. As he spoke, he glanced at the old woman and saw that the old woman was also looking at him with some anticipation, knowing that this matter was probably agreed upon by the old woman and the middle-aged beautiful woman together.

Perhaps, that night at the dinner table, he had looked at Zhang Ruoxi a few more times, which also made them misunderstand.

Seeing Zhang Ruoxi with her head lowered, gently biting her thin lips, and looking on the verge of crying, Yang Kai sighed in his heart. The words of refusal that came to his lips were swallowed back, and he said, “It’s just that I don’t want to force others. This matter still has to ask Miss Ruoxi’s own opinion. If she wants to follow me, I can take her away from the Zhang family. If she doesn’t want to, then forget it.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Naturally.”

While speaking, she looked at Zhang Ruoxi and said, “Girl, the benefactor is asking you a question. Just tell the truth. Are you willing to leave with the benefactor and be a slave or maid to serve the benefactor from now on？”

Zhang Ruoxi didn’t even dare to raise her head and just nodded slightly.

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, “Just speak up. Otherwise, the benefactor won’t know your thoughts.”

Only then did Zhang Ruoxi say in a voice as low as a mosquito’s, “Willing！”

The middle-aged beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Yang Kai and saying, “Benefactor, you see, Ruoxi is willing on her own. No one is forcing her.”

Yang Kai sighed and said, “Alright. Since that’s the case, then you come with me.”

“Thank you, sir.” Zhang Ruoxi then gracefully curtsied.

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here for a day, I will definitely not let anyone bully you. This, please also rest assured, Madam.” Yang Kai turned to the old woman and said seriously.

The old woman smiled and said, “It’s Ruoxi’s good fortune to follow the benefactor. The Zhang family trusts the benefactor’s character.”

Yang Kai nodded and looked at Zhang Ruoxi, saying, “Do you have anything else to say to your family? Now is the time to say it. I’ll go ahead and wait for you.”

After saying that, Yang Kai leaped into the air and flew not far away.

Looking back, Zhang Ruoxi was lying in the old woman’s arms, sobbing non-stop. The old woman was also constantly patting her shoulder to comfort and exhort her about something.

Subsequently, Zhang Ruoxi bid farewell to the middle-aged beautiful woman and others one by one. Before leaving, she kowtowed three times towards the direction of the Zhang Family’s residence, and then walked towards Yang Kai with three steps and one turn back.

When she got close, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and said in a low voice, “Sir, I’m ready.”

Yang Kai chuckled and said, “There’s no need to make it seem like a life and death parting. I live in Fenglin City. If you miss your home in the future, you can come back and take a look at any time. I won’t restrain you.”

Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, “Great-grandmother said that in the future, I won’t be a member of the Zhang Family anymore. If there’s nothing wrong, don’t come back. Just serve Sir wholeheartedly.”

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment and then nodded, saying, “The old madam has gone to great lengths.”

The old woman would give such instructions to Zhang Ruoxi, obviously also for fear of making him unhappy. However, how could she know that he doesn’t care about these things at all. Moreover, the reason why he agreed to bring Zhang Ruoxi along was by no means what they thought. But this kind of thing was not easy to explain, so Yang Kai simply didn’t bother to say it.

Flying back all the way, Yang Kai didn’t have any good flying secret treasures either. It was just a star shuttle he had bought in his hometown star field back then. It had already become outdated and unusable as his cultivation level improved.

So he simply wrapped Zhang Ruoxi with his strength and took her back.

Zhang Ruoxi only had the cultivation level of the First-Order Saint King Realm. She usually never left the Zhang Family. How could she have ever experienced such a fast flight? She was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists, looking like she was about to go to the execution ground.

Seeing this, Yang Kai smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more.

A moment later, they arrived at the gate of Fenglin City, landed, and Yang Kai brought Zhang Ruoxi into the city.

The little girl seemingly rarely entered the city. Usually, she served the old woman in the Zhang family. After entering the city, she looked around left and right, finding everything very novel.

Only then did Yang Kai notice that her clothes were very simple and she didn’t have any jewelry on her. Yang Kai originally wanted to buy her something, but was afraid she would misunderstand, so he simply gave up.

All the way to the cave mansion, Yang Kai took out his identity nameplate and was just about to open the cave mansion restriction when suddenly a person rushed out from the side and said hastily, “Master Yang Dan, you’re finally back.”

Yang Kai heard the sound and looked over there. Seeing a familiar face, he couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “It’s you？”

This person was actually a fellow of the Lingdan Workshop. Since Yang Kai also often went in and out of the Lingdan Workshop to refine the elixir, he had some impression of him.

“Exactly this little one.” The fellow bowed to Yang Kai. After getting up, he curiously looked at Zhang Ruoxi again wondering why Yang Kai brought a woman with the cultivation base of the First-Order Saint King by his side.
