Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

33  Thank You, Husband

" 200,000 taels…"

Cai Yixue gritted her teeth when she heard that. " Damn it, That's a yearly expenditure of our Cai Family. Yet, He managed to slice off that much from us?"

" Here, you can see the errors in the military supply." Jia Hao spoke. " 20,000 taels of gold was sent to the smithy to smelt old equipments and get new equipments for the fourth squad."

" However, two months later, 20,000 taels of gold were still sent to the smithy for the same reason. It's not possible for so much useless junk to pile up within two months, right?"

" And this? He directly took 10,000 taels from the purchase of silk and other clothes."

" Haah, This bastard." Cai Yixue flared up for a moment. But then, she rubbed her forehead.

" What happened?" Jia Hao asked. " Shouldn't you rush straight and behead him right away?"

" Of course, I will." Cai Yixue's eyes flashed with a cold glint. " However, I need to wait patiently for the right moment. I need to use Zhu Wuya as an example. So, no one would ever dare to steal our money."

" Oh, You can have that chance." Jia Hao grinned. " Two days later, He will purchase the Body Strengthening Pill for his son. At that moment, you can catch him."

" Not to mention, we have all the evidence here. With these solid proofs, no one can save Zhu Wuya."

" En…But how did you know he is going to purchase a Body Strengthening pill for his son?" Cai Yixue asked in a curious voice.

" After all, You didn't seem to ever see them before today."

" Err…" Jia Hao scratched his head. " Just think I have a little information network outside."

" Is that so?" Cai Yixue was still suspicious. However, she didn't press Jia Hao at all.

" Well, Since I have helped you, shouldn't I receive some rewards?" Jia Hao smirked as he looked at Cai Yixue.

" Wh-What sort of reward?" Cai Yixue became a bit alarmed when she saw that lecherous expression on Jia Hao's face.

" Nothing much. I am not that of a bad person." Jia Hao grinned. " Let's start from something small."

" Wife, How about you call me husband?"

Cai Yixue was stunned when she heard Jia Hao's words. Her cheeks flushed with a pink color as she tried to avert her gaze.

" Um…That's a bit…" Cai Yixue bit her lips as she got up.

" Th-Thank you, Husband."

Cai Yixue's voice was like a mosquito as she spoke. However, the moment she said that she picked up all the faulty account books and rushed out of the room.

Jia Hao was stunned when she saw Cai Yixue's reaction. ' I guess no matter how cold Yixue acts, she retains a certain bashfulness.' Jia Hao smacked his lips as he thought inwardly.

Even with the presence of supernatural and martial arts, the world of Yunlan Continent is still an ancient world. And the customs of the ancient world are still very backward.

' But the charm and virtuousness of the women of the ancient world is definitely has its own taste. It feels really different from the women of Tianshu World.'

' Damn, am I turning sexist?' Jia Hao laughed loudly as he got up.

" But who cares? Equal rights, equal fights."

Jia Hao walked out of the room and then looked at the Cai Family Mansion. " Mm, I am curious about the outside. Let me check the Nanhai City."

But then, Jia Hao smiled wryly when he realized he didn't know how to ride a horse.

But as he walked a few steps outside of the road, he saw a carriage was going towards the city.

" Uncle, Are you going to the Nanhaio City?"

The middle aged man saw Jia Hao wearing a noble cloth. He hurriedly nodded. " Yes, Young Master, I am going there to sell vegetables."

" Great, can you take me there?"

" This… Sure, Young master." The middle aged man was about to refuse first. But thinking about Jia Hao's background, he agreed.

' Damn it! I hope I don't offend this young man somehow. Else, who knows if he kills me and my family?' The middle aged man moved the carriage as they traveled toward the city.

Looking at the bustling city market, the wide road paved with square stones, Jia Hao couldn't help but nod in approval. The technology in ancient times can be comparable to modern constructions too.

As they passed the city gates, Jia Hao got off from te carriage. " Well, Uncle…"

" Ahaha! No, No charges." The middle aged man refused. " You don't need to pay me money."

' Damn, Do people fear nobles this much?' Jia Hao smiled wryly as he waved his hands.

" Well, Since you are refusing money, then you should take this." He handed the driver a packet of chocolate.

It wasn't the Energy Recovery Bar, but the other extra delicious chocolate lying in his pot.

" This...What's this?" The driver looked at the chocolate packet wrapped in a shiny wrapper in fascination.

" Well, This is a type of sweet." Jia Hao explained. " If you go to home, peel the outer layer and eat the brown sweet inside. Don't forget to give it to your wife and children…If you have any."

With a laugh, Jia Hao turned around, walking away. The driver remained stunned as he hurriedly hid the chocolate packet.

' This looks precious, even if it's a sweet. I should check it after I go to home.'

Jia Hao walked around the city with fascination as he could see the shops selling various things. However, with his Sage's Divine Eyes, he could see the martial artists among the common people.

' The most powerful I have seen so far is the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. So by this mean, my strength is enough for walking among normal citizens.' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he walked from shop to shop.

As he was glancing around, Jia Hao paused as his gaze fell on a person.

[Name: Lu Hao]

[Age: 32]

[Remard: Slightly rich. Business minded]

[Recent Future Points: Half an hour later, he purchased a Grey Jade pot from Bamboo Treasure Shop and found a high grade demonic core inside it]

" Holy cow!" Jia Hao became excited as he walked towards Lu Hao.

" Excuse me, Brother." Jia Hao called out, making Lu Hao turn around and look at him.

" Do you know where Bamboo Treasure Shop is?"

" Go straight from here and take left from first intersection. You will find it after three blocks." Lu Hao nodded as he answered.

" Thank you, Brother."

Lu Hai suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if Jia Hao was upto no good.

' Strange. I should also go to the Bamboo Treasure Shop.'

Jia Hao's body moved fast as he arrived at a rundown shop called Bamboo Treasure Shop. Rather than a shop, it looked more like a stall.

" Welcome, Esteemed Young Master." A crooked shopkeeper walked out as he fawned over Jia Hao. " Would you mind to look at some of my treasures? I can guarantee that you will definitely get interested."

Jia Hao didn't say anything as he looked around the items Soon, he saw a small grey pot, covered in dust.

[ Grey Jade Pot: Made with grey jade and bones ashes of black deer. Contains a High grade demonic beast core inside it]

" This pot…" Jia Hao just said, but the shopkeeper held the pot and wiped hurriedly.

" This is a precious Glazed Silver Porcelain Pot. Crafted with delicate craftsmanship, I found it in an ancient rune. It might also possess some strange power."

" It's price is 10,000 taels of Silver." The shopkeeper gave his price.

" What? 10,000 taels of silver? You mean hundred taels of gold for this pot?" Jia Hao's eyes shrank.

" Exactly, Young Master."

" This is too much."

" Well…" The shopkeeper coughed a bit as he adjusted his tone hastily. " Since I am in a good mood, I can sell it to Young Master for only 8500 tales of silver."

Jia Hao shrugged when he heard that. " Well, The thing is, I don't have a single piece of silver."

" What?"

The shopkeeper's face fell when he heard that. " Then why are you wasting my time here? Damn it, I thought you are some rich Young Master."

" Whao, Uncle. Aren't you changing your attitude way too fast?" Jia Hao gave a hollow laugh. " How about I give you an item? I wonder how much you can give for this?"

Jia Hao waved turned around and fiddled in his robe. After that, he pulled out a shiny short sword, presenting before the shopkeeper.

" A short sword made of cold iron. It's been tempered over a thousand times."

" What? Let me see that." The shopkeeper was stunned as he took that sword and looked at it.

" Ouch! It's sharp!" The shopkeeper's finger got cut, but his eyes shone with a light.

" Indeed, This is an authentic sword. Ok, I can give…"

" A thousand tael…of gold."

" A thousand silver…Wait, What?" The shopkeeper was stunned. " A thousand taels of gold? Are you serious?"

" I am."

" At most, I can give 200…"

" A thousand taels."

" 500!"

" 1000!"

" Eight hundred taels and not a bit more." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

" Well, Eight hundred is alright. But I will take this pot with me."

" Deal!"

The shopkeeper took the sword and handed golden banknotes with the grey pot.

' Hehe, That pot is simply worthless. I made quite a profit this time.' The shopkeeper grinned as he wiped the sword and placed on display shelf. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jia Hao was grinning even more as he took the pot and walked a bit far before breaking it.

Suddenly, with a dim light, a thumb size bright red crystal appeared before him.

Picking it up, Jia Hao threw it into his Pot of Miracles, allowing the pot to devour it.
