41 Back to Party at Sheng Mansion (Part 1)

After a whole night of love, Sheng Ling can't deny that he had been bent… But he didn't want to take on a relationship! But that will be told at another time.

Going back to the present moment.

Chu Fang managed to convince Sheng Ling to remain obedient and to be hugged in the garden by stealing a kiss here and here from Sheng Ling tsundere. He just grumbled at how misleading Chu Fang's image was while protesting slightly about having his lips stolen over and over again.

The two just chatted and laughed a little from the past, the vibration they give off was that of a slightly fiery old couple.

This is how Tao Kang caught both people while on the roof of a courtyard near the back garden of the east wing (I forgot which wing they are).

"When will Chu Fang tell Xiao Yi about the double cultivation increase between him and Sheng Ling?" Tao Kang thought as he watched the romantic scene of these two people.

The truth is that Chu Fang and Sheng Ling were as strong as Chu Jiayi, so they would soon reach the immortal realm. Of course, all of this was thanks to the double cultivation of the two people, who even though they "fought" constantly, would always "cultivate" together a few times a week.

Tao Kang just thought about that for a moment, as he and Chu Jiayi were going to travel soon, but it would not be a definite trip to explore the ruins and the vast space, but one day this moment of a long farewell would happen and the Chu Family will need Chu Fang to take over as heir to the family.

Right after thinking about it, Tao Kang came off the roof of this courtyard, seeing that his wife's cousin dating his wife's best friend… Well, it was a bit odd, since he was hiding on the roof. If anyone caught him there, he would look like a total pervert.

Then he just closed his eyes for a few seconds until he felt Chu Jiayi's familiar aura, yet he also felt another familiar soul… A rather unpleasant aura!

Tao Kang always thought that the blame for the death of former Chu Jiayi was his fault, but without Fan Yue insisting and spreading false rumors about Chu Jiayi's reputation, he would not kill this person! True, I could beat him or even have a good sword fight with this person, but it wouldn't kill!

It is not that Tao Kang was a good person, far from it, otherwise, he would not be the God of Chaos and Destruction. However, as long as no one touches its reverse scale, it would not kill directly.

So much so that when Chu Fang fight him several times because Chu Jiayi's death, Tao Kang didn't kill him, only last time Chu Fang tried so hard to activate his Dantin blast and commit suicide trying to kill Tao Kang.

Tao Kang hurried to the garden on the west wing, which was separated by a beautiful artificial lake, which had a beautiful white bridge and some white ducks, with several pink lotus flowers floating along the lakeshore.

When Tao Kang arrived in the western area, he hid on top of a dense willow tree near the lake, with its immortal Realms cultivation powers not difficult to see and hear even at a distance of 100 meters, let alone 10 meters distance.

Tao Kang didn't want to show up now, as Chu Jiyai might get angry and think he was being followed. Chu Jiayi was quite strict when it came to his personal space. Likewise, he would not interfere with Tao Kang's affairs, such as his cultivation, or touch his past life.

They both shared their thoughts and concerns, they also talked about their days, just like any normal couple, but Chu Jiayi would not accept being sent around or being asked how he should behave.

Tao Kang is an old man and even having a "male wife" or "husband", the way he behaved was full of possession and control, which sometimes generated fights between the couple.

Chu Jiayi was still quite in love, as is typical of boyfriends in the early months, but he had not been blinded by love to the point of being sent and controlled by Tao Kang or accepting this possession of him.

Of course, fights were won by Chu Jiayi every time, Tao Kang could only come out in defeat and discount his anger in training, how would he dare to contradict his "male wife" when Chu Jiayi had such a fair and angry look?

Chu Jiayi's cold aura also did nothing to make Tao Kang argue, Chu Jiayi was very eloquent and did not accept the small raving jokes in the middle of the discussion to be persuaded. So Tao Kang could only retire in defeat.

Tao Kang knew some of that cool personality of his Xiao Yi, so he stayed in the tree and started watching the meeting between Fan Yue and Chu Jiayi if something got out of hand and Zhen Arcamany couldn't deal, he would show up and help Chu Jiayi.

On the other hand, Chu Jiayi was walking with his small entourage to the west garden. Previously, Chu Jiayi thought that even with the second imperial prince present and not invited to the grand meeting, he could act as he always did. Greeting guests and having small business conversations and gathering interesting information.

Of course, he overestimated the second emperor's proud son.

At the party besides the nobles of the city, there were also the nobles who came from various parts of the county, which was very important for Chu Jiayi, who liked to keep himself informed. Of course, there was a special Chu Family unit for this kind of task, but it was also good to gather diverse information, such as legends of the ruins or bizarre things that may be happening in other parts of the Nan Kang Region.

This little information could be linked to the main storyline of the book Cruel Times!

What would this main plot of the book be?

Well, besides Tao Kang's rise to the top of martial cultivation, it was also related to the event of the legendary sects and the great gods. There was still a future war between the Gods and the Demons.

It should be remembered that Chu Jiayi now supported the Devils, not all but some of them, thanks to past events, Kan'er being his maid person is the greatest proof of this.

The Devils were one of the many factions of the Demons, so this future war between the Gods and the Demons was a very important matter in keeping Chu Jiayi's life safe and beautiful, as it might be inevitable that he would get involved and drag Tao Kang with him.
