Returning from Heaven’s Mystery Valley to Tiger Roar City, Yang Kai summoned Li Jiao and went straight to the point, “Brother Li, I may need to go into seclusion for a while, so Tiger Roar City’s matters will be left to you.”
Li Jiao was stunned, “Seclusion at this time?”
The war between the two worlds was raging like wildfire. Although Tiger Roar City had been peaceful for the past half a year, no one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be another Demon Race army attacking. This was obviously not a good time to go into seclusion. If the Demon Race really came, without Yang Kai as their Leader, Tiger Roar City’s strength would be greatly reduced.
Yang Kai said in a low voice, “I’ve gained some insights recently, so I had no choice.”
Hearing this, Li Jiao nodded. He also knew that cultivating the Martial Dao was not easy, so if he had any real insights, it would be best for him to go into seclusion as soon as possible. Once he lost this opportunity, he might not be able to make up for it in a hundred years, so he could only say, “Alright, I’ll do my best to take care of Tiger Roar City, but Brother Yang, those people from Half Dragon City and that Lord Fu Ling…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell them to listen to your arrangements.”
With Li Jiao’s cultivation, leading Tiger Roar City was basically not a problem. The only problem was Fu Ling. A Sixth-Order Pure Blood Giant Dragon, Li Jiao might not be able to subdue it, and Fu Ling was somewhat unreliable. When Yang Kai was around, she was still obedient, but if Yang Kai was no longer around, she would not give Li Jiao any face, but since Yang Kai wanted to entrust Tiger Roar City to Li Jiao, he would naturally arrange everything in advance.
A short while later, he summoned Fu Ling and warned her in front of Li Jiao to be obedient in the future, otherwise he would immediately send her back to Dragon Island.
How could Fu Ling dare not listen? She immediately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. For her, it was a rare goin on a trip outside Dragon Island, so naturally she was unwilling to be sent back so quickly.
After that, Yang Kai sent a message to the Emperor Realm masters in the city, informing them that he would be cultivating in seclusion today and that he were not to be disturbed unless necessary, before entering the City Lord’s Mansion’s private room and closing the door.
Cultivating in seclusion was naturally a cover. Since he had promised Tian Shu Great Emperor and Beast Martial Great Emperor to go to the Demon Territory, he had to make arrangements for the people of Tiger Roar City in advance. Otherwise, when that day came, Tiger Roar City would be without a leader, allowing Li Jiao to familiarize himself with it for a while. At that time, even if he left, Tiger Roar City would not be too affected.
Inside the secret room, Yang Kai activated the Space Spirit Bead on his wrist and the Space Laws fluctuated wildly before he disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in a room.
“Who is it!?” A tender shout rang out as a cold light flashed and a sharp sword stabbed towards Yang Kai’s face.
With a flick of his finger, Yang Kai pushed the sword’s edge to the side and reached out to grab a white wrist. With a slight tug, a soft and tender body appeared in his arms. Leaning over, he smiled and said, “Yao’er, your way of welcoming me is quite special.”
Ji Yao was stunned, “Why are you here?”
“I came to see you,” Yang Kai reached out and stroked her hair, quietly staring at her.
Ji Yao was a little embarrassed by his gaze and found that Yang Kai’s gaze today was especially gentle and reluctant. Lying on his broad arm, she slowly looked away.
Yang Kai reached out and grabbed her chin, pulling her head towards him.
Before she could react, a powerful aura wrapped around her and their lips pressed together. Ji Yao slowly closed her eyes and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground as she wrapped her arms around Yang Kai’s neck.
After kissing for a while, Yang Kai picked her up by the waist and gently placed her on the bed before leaning over to savor her.
Ever since they had broken through the barrier in Ice Heart Valley’s Martial Skill Pavilion, their relationship had improved greatly, but they had never broken through the final barrier. Ji Yao seemed to enjoy this kind of secretive atmosphere and had never asked Yang Kai for anything, nor did she allow him to reveal their relationship to the world.
Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t force her.
After a long time, Yang Kai finally let her go. Ji Yao’s body was as soft as mud, and she was panting heavily as she lay on top of Yang Kai.
Suddenly, Yang Kai opened his mouth and said, “Yao’er, no matter what happens to me, don’t worry, and don’t hate anyone.”
These words came out of nowhere and Ji Yao suddenly raised her head as if she had a premonition, her bright eyes staring at Yang Kai as she asked, “What is it?”
Yang Kai pinched her nose, “Don’t ask too much, you’ll know when the time comes. Just remember what I said.”
Ji Yao remained silent and just stared at him.
Yang Kai asked, “Did you remember?”
Ji Yao nodded lightly, “I Remember.”
Yang Kai looked at her with relief, turned over, and once again began trampling her.
After accompanying Ji Yao in her room for an entire night, Yang Kai only spoke a few words to her the next day before quietly leaving.
High Heaven Palace, on Spirit Medicine Peak, Yang Kai walked in carrying a large jar of wine.
When the several apprentice alchemists at the door saw him walk over, they immediately bowed respectfully, but the oldest one stood in front of them and said with a troubled look, “Palace Master, Grandmaster Ji and Madam Xia are currently refining pills and have ordered that no one is to disturb them.”
“Go away, go away!” Yang Kai stretched out his hand and pushed the boy to the side, directly barging in while shouting, “Little Senior Sister, Little Senior Sister!”
Walking all the way to the underground Pill Chamber, he suddenly saw the door open and Ji Ying rush out with a black face. Reaching out, he grabbed Yang Kai’s collar and said fiercely, “How many times have I told you not to disturb me while I’m refining pills? Don’t think that just because you’re the High Heaven Palace's Palace Master, I won’t dare beat you up!”
Yang Kai grinned and reached out to pry his fingers open, “Brother Ji, please calm your anger. Isn’t it just a batch of pills?”
Seeing his appearance, Yang Kai knew that the pill furnace must have exploded, otherwise, his face wouldn’t have been so black. This time, he was probably quite angry, otherwise how could an Emperor Pill Master so easily blow up his furnace?
Ji Ying angrily said, “Refine again! Don’t you need time and energy? Moreover, this is a stain on my Alchemy career. Heavens, how could I have agreed to come here to refine pills?”
Behind the door, Xia Ningchang walked out with a smile on her face. Although her face was covered by a veil, her crescent moon-like eyes showed that she was smiling.
“Alright, I brought you a jar of good wine, look!” Yang Kai lifted the jar in his hand to block Ji Ying’s saliva from spraying him.
“What kind of bullshit good wine is this? If I don’t drink it, you’ll have to compensate me with spirit pills!” Ji Ying swept the wine jar away.
Yang Kai said, “The Sword Wine of the Western Domain, and it’s the highest quality Sword Wine! Ji Ying doesn’t want to try it? This thing is very rare nowadays.” The Sword Wine of the Western Domain was famous throughout the world. When Yang Kai and Zhu Qing first met, he had been upset with her and asked her to bring the Sword Wine of the Western Domain is she want to be his friend, but who would have thought that Zhu Qing would really bring the Sword Wine?
Now that the Western Regions had been ravaged by the Demon Race and the mountain village that had brewed this wine had been destroyed, the value of this wine became even greater.
Hearing this, Ji Ying was stunned for a moment before quickly snatching the wine jar and opening it as he said, “This Ji has also seen the world, if you dare lie to me, I won’t let you off.”
Yang Kai said seriously, “How could I dare lie to Brother Ji? En, that’s right, I want to help Little Senior Sister take a break from Brother Ji. I’m going out for a while, so I’ll have to trouble Brother Ji to refine pills.”
“Where are you going?” Brother Ji looked up and asked, but there was no trace of Yang Kai or Xia Ningchang in front of him. This guy actually took Xia Ningchang away right after he finished speaking. Ji Ying couldn’t help being startled for a moment before gritting his teeth.
At the Space Array, Yang Kai and Xia Ningchang appeared.
Little Senior Sister looked at Yang Kai curiously and asked, “How is the situation in the Western Regions? Why did you come back?”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “There are people there to worry about it. As for me, I came back to see you.”
“Have you visited Big Sister and the others?”
“Not yet,” Yang Kai shook his head.
Xia Ningchang stretched out her hand to help him tidy up his clothes, but her eyes suddenly paused for a moment before she pulled a long strand of hair from Yang Kai’s collar and tossed it aside, gently saying, “You should go see Big Sister and the others first. I’ll wait for you here. They often fight with the Demon Race over there, so their lives definitely won’t be as comfortable as mine.”
Yang Kai’s face twitched as he withdrew his gaze from the long hair, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her on the forehead, “Little Senior Sister is the most considerate.”
Xia Ningchang said shyly, “No…” She lightly hit Yang Kai twice, “There are people watching.”
The Space Array was guarded by disciples all year round, so this scene was naturally seen clearly. However, since the Palace Master and the Palace Master’s wife were so loving, how could they dare to look at them? At this moment, all of them were either looking up at the sky or looking down at the ground, as if there were flowers in the sky.
At this moment, the Space Laws suddenly fluctuated and three figures appeared on the Spirit Array.
A moment later, a sour voice rang out, “Hey, you called us sisters here in such a hurry to watch a good show.”
Xia Ningchang’s face became even redder as she quickly left Yang Kai’s embrace and walked towards the three women to greet them.
Yang Kai looked back and smiled, “Luo'er, are you jealous of your own sister?”
Shan Qingluo curled her lips and said, “Of course not, we’re sisters, but who knows if you’re out there flirting with some vixen.”
“Of course not,” Yang Kai quickly denied.
Shan Qingluo snorted, “Is that so? Then please explain what happened to that Li Shiqing first!”
Xue Yue also nodded, “That’s right, that woman isn’t anything good!”
Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat as he turned his gaze towards Su Yan, a pleading look appearing on his face.
Eldest Senior Sister was indeed considerate and quickly changed the subject, “Why did you call us back?” The three of them had always been in the same city as the people from High Heaven Palace and Ice Heart Valley. This time, they had also received Ji Yao’s message and rushed back together.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “It’s nothing, I just had a sudden impulse and wanted to ask you to accompany me on a scenic tour.”
