Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

Jia Hao was stunned when he felt the burst of starlight above him. It was simply incomparable to his past accumulation of virtue.

If the precious virtues were like a spill of water, this time, it came like a gushing river.

Jia Hao felt his internal energy restored by quite a bit as the foundation slowly absorbed the virtue, making the surface pristine.

' What is it? Why did I suddenly got such a great amount of virtue?'

' Is it because I broke the spatial crack?'

Jia Hao's mind spun as I started to think of various possibilities. After pondering hard, he finally reached a conclusion.

Generally, spatial cracks are considered as the remnant of another world unsuccessfully merging in Yunlan Continent. The cracks can be big or small, but all of them contains dense amount of otherworldly energy.

With such energy, the flora and fauna could mutate and otherworldly monster can nurture themselves, turning into a bigger threat.

' Perhaps, this spatial crack wasn't supposed to be discovered now. Perhaps it was supposed to be discovered by some otherworldly monster, strengthening them.'

' Yes. With that, the chance of beast tide would increase, damaging the population of Nanhai City even more.'

' With I clearing the spatial crack, the threat of beast tide would decrease. Therefore, I accidentally saved a lot of people from premature death!'

Jia Hao suddenly felt a warm cloth on his body as he broke from his idle imagination. He saw Sang Qiuliu smiling at him.

" You must be cold. Wipe off the water from your body."

" Ah, Thank you, Sister Qiuliu. You are really nice." Jia Hao grinned.

" Since we have gotten what we want, We should hurry back." Li Qing spoke as he looked at Jia Hao.

" I shall carry the luggage. You all must be tired." Zhou Yan looked at the sack filled with the meat and material of the wolves.

The soldiers were also somewhat recovered. So, they also got up and carried the luggage.

As it was evening, Jia Hao and his crew stepped out from the forest, reaching Nanhai City's outskirts.

However, Jia Hao was surprised when he looked at the horizon. There was a familiar figure standing there.

" Wife, I didn't expect you to wait for me." Jia Hao jested as he reached near Cai Yixue.

" Bah, Who was waiting for you?" Cai Yixue spoke lightly. " I was just passing by. But I heard some news that you have arrived from Nanhai Mountain. So, I chose to come here."

" Hehe, As you say."

Looking behind him, Cai Yixue and Minmin's eyes squinted as they saw Sang Qiuliu.

" Hoho, It's nice to meet you, Miss Cai." Sang Qiuliu cupped her fist before Cai Yixue with a smile.

" I am Sang Qiuliu, From Crimson Dagger Dojo."

" I guess your title as the first beauty of Nanhai City isn't underserved at all."

" That's just what people say, Miss Sang." Cai Yixue shook her head. " You also went with him?"

" Indeed, I did." Sang Qiuliu smiled. " I have to admit, Brother Jia isn't as much as frail as he looks."

" He fought against beasts and slayed quite a few of them."

" Oh, Is that so?" Cai Yixue looked at Jia Hao. " He is pretty reliable, Isn't he?"

" Haha, You can say that. Brother Jia is very reliable."

Jia Hao scratched his head when he saw how Sang Qiuliu was praising him. Seeing Li Qing on the side, Jia Hao used the chance to slip away.

" Hehe, Brother Jia, You are truly fortunate to have such a virtuous wife." Li Qing chuckled.

" Well, I guess so?" Jia Hao chuckled. " However, I would like to ask something from you, Brother Li."

" You can speak, Brother Jia. You helped me so much here. If it's within my reach, I will do whatever you ask."

Jia Hao was pleased with Li Qing's answer. " Well, It's both simple yet difficult. I wonder if Brother Li would agree to this?"

" Haha, Just say it." Li Qing was also interested in what Jia Hao wanted to ask from him."

" I would like to pass a message to His Majesty." Jia Hao replied frankly. " Please, inform him that in the near future, the Cai Family shall show its loyalty once again."

" However, a loyal dog also has some expectations. If the master wishes to kill the dogs after hunting the rabbit, then it's only natural for the dog to bite the master."

" Audacious!" Zhou Yan stepped forward as he glared at Jia Hao. " How can you say that against Imperial Family?"

Jia Hao wasn't bothered by Zhou Yan's anger as he simply kept looking at Li Qing. Zhou Yan gave off that murderous aura, but Jia Hao remained calm.

' Interesting...Is the Domination Aura working? Shielding me from Zhou Yan?'

Loyalty is good, but if it means being thrown aside by a person like a pawn, Jia Hao would rather pick the path of revolt and betrayal.

Li Qing was also stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. " Haha, How true, how true…"

" Brother Jia, I shall convey your message word by word to His Majesty."

" And, as a token of appreciation, Please keep this."

Jia Hao was surprised when Li Qing handed him a token.

" With this, You will have my grace. You can enter my palace whenever you come to the Capital." Li Qing chuckled.

Turning around, he looked at Zhou Yan and beckoned him. " Let's go, I can't wait any longer."

Jia Hao looked at the token and saw there was a flying dragon insignia on it. However, there was only a pair of claws on its body.

' Feathered Dragon, which symbolizes the power of the crown prince. To think he would give me this.' Jia Hao was amused.

However, looking at Li Qing's action regarding Bright Snow Lotus, It looked like he desperately needed that herb. And since Jia Hao gave him that, it was natural for him to be grateful.

' But right now, I don't need the gratefulness of the crown prince. I need the support from the Emperor himself. Only he can make the Cai Family remain safe and steady in this time of chaos.'

' Besides, All I need is time. A year or two, and the Cai Family would be enough to overpower the Imperial Family.'

" Who was he? He didn't look like an ordinary noble."

Jia Hao turned around and saw it was Cai Yixue. Cai Yixue looked at the departing Li Qing and Zhou Yan with a strange gaze.

" I think I have seen that man before…"

" He is the crown prince Li Qing." Jia Hao replied.

" I see…Wait, What?!"

Cai Yixue paused as her eyes widened. " Yo-You!! Why didn't you tell me? Crown Prince himself was here?"

" In disguise." Jia Hao rolled his eyes. " And, I am sure you don't want to remove the disguise of Crown Prince himself, right?"

Speechless, Cai Yixue couldn't help but agree with what Jia Hao was saying.

" But still, I didn't think you were in contact with Crown Prince Li. Why didn't you tell me?"

" As if you tell me everything."

" Can you…just not throw jabs at me all the time?" Cai Yixue spoke with an irritated tone.

Jia Hao shrugged as he turned around, looking at Minmin. " Bring the meat of alpha wolf to Chef Liang. Tonight, I am expecting a feast."

" Yes, Young Lord."
