Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

262  Bringing Mistress Home

" Mnngh!~"

Xu Chenlan moaned softly as she opened her eyes. An affectionate smile spread on her lips as she gently caress Jia Hao's lips.

" Wake up, Young Lord. It's dawn already."

Under the warm quilt, her body snuggled closely to Jia Hao, seeking warmth of his bare skin. ' Haah, How long it has been since I slept so contently?' Xu Chenlan sighed blissfully. " Hmm?"

Jia Hao groaned as he slowly woke up. " It's morning already?"

" I should thank heavens for the morning. If the night went any longer…" Xu Chenlan coughed lightly. " Ugh, My throat is sore along with my legs."

" Anyway, I should go and freshen up. I need to get ready, yes?"

" …Yes."

Jia Hao finally sobered up as Xu Chenlan went to the washroom. His expression darkened as he realized one problem.

' Wait, I already said that I would bring back Xu Chenlan today… But how am I going to do that?'

' Damn it, It's really tough, eh?'

Bringing a mistress home and letting her meet with his wife, Jia Hao suddenly lost his early confidence.

" Well, Fuck! A real man doesn't fear consequences." Jia Hao slapped his thighs as he got up.

He picked a robe and draped it around his torso. However, at that moment, a maid walked into Xu Chenlan's room.

" Young Lord, Two gentlemen from Imperial Capital wishes to meet you."

Jia Hao was surprised when he heard that. " Imperial Capital you say?"

" Fine, Lead the way. Also, Ask Chenlan to gather up her belongings."

As Jia Hao got down, he saw two people sitting beside the table. However, they looked weary, with dark circles under their eyes.

" How careless of me. If I had known about your arrival, I would have came earlier." Jia Hao smiled as he approached them.

Luo Qiang and Ye Kong were surprised when he heard that.

" You are Cai Family's Son In Law, Jia Hao?" Ye Kong asked.

" I believe you know me already." Jia Hao turned to leave.

" Please follow me. The Cai Family's bun shop is nearby. Let's talk while having breakfast, yes?"

" Uhh, I don't think so. We just came here…"

" Mr. Ye…" Luo Qiang called with a soft voice.

*GRUMBLE! GRUMBLE!*

Jia Hao's smile widened when he heard the grumbling noise from Luo Qiang's stomach.

" A solid day begins with a solid breakfast. So, Allow me to attend you." Jia Hao laughed as he guided them.

*NOM! NOM!*

" WAO! ZHIS BUN….ZHIS ISH SO TASTY!"

Luo Qiang's eyes sparkled he quickly devoured the buns. " I only heard that Cai Family's cuisine is extraordinary. I didn't expect it's actually up to its name." Ye Kong nodded.

" I am glad you liked our breakfast. Please have some tea to digest it." Jia Hao poured them tea. " And now, since everything is settled, How about we talk?"

" I am Ye Kong from the Sixth Divison of Scale Dragon Division."

" I am Luo Qiang from...Scaled Dragon Investigation team."

" Looks like Brother Luo is here for sightseeing. It's not good to lie in early morning." Jia Hao chuckled.

" How did you know I was lying?" Luo Qiang was stunned. Ye Kong was also surprised.

" I have my ways. Besides, I don't think I am worthy of being an investigator if I can't differentiate between truth and lies, yes?"

" Haha, Then let me re introduce myself. My name is Luo Qiang, I am from the Three Sage Academy. I am a good friend of Brother Ye Kong so I tagged along with him."

" I see. Then what can I do for you?" Jia Hao nodded.

" Elder Wu of Divine Martial Hall has recommended your name. He praised your ability to solve crimes."

" Recently, There have been some problems in Qingyang County. So, You are required to help us in the investigation there."

" Qingyang County?" Jia Hao frowned. But before he could say anything, Ye Kong pulled out a scroll and showed it to Jia Hao.

' This is marked with an Imperial Seal. So, I guess I can't avoid this order, huh?' His expression turned a bit sour.

" I see, I understand." Jia Hao nodded. " However, I need some time to prepare. How about tomorrow?"

" We can wait till tomorrow." Ye Kong nodded. Jia Hao got up as he passed an emblem to Ye Kong.

" Please show this in Tianxiang Pavilion. You will be able to enjoy our delicacies for free and purchase some things at a discount."

Then he read about Luo Qiang.

Power: Peak of Profound Awakening Realm.

Current State: Being hailed as a genius since childhood, he is always forward to solving mysteries.

Recent Future Point: Nineteen days later, He will find the secret dealing between the Blood Axe Gang, Black Heart Union, and the Qingyang Marquis. He will be discovered and killed afterward.

' Well, Guess the Qingyang County is going to be their grave.'

' Hmm, Looks like Luo Qiang gets some sort of information first. But before he could deliver it, he gets killed.'

' Then Ye Kong tries to follow his trail and meets his demise in ambush.'

' Haah! Another troublesome case.' Jia Hao sighed as he facepalmed himself.

Meanwhile, it was truly a strange situation in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion.

" Wahhh! Lady Xu is leaving!"

" Young Miss, Please let me follow you."

" Ah Ching, Ah Tong, Both of you already did so much for me." Xu Chenlan gave each of those maids five thousand taels of gold each.

" Use this money and leave this place. And then, find someone to marry. You don't need to follow me anymore."

" But Miss…"

" This is my order." Xu Chenlan spoke in a stern voice. " Now go, Live your life as you wish."

Turning around and giving the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion a last gaze, Xu Chenlan sat in the carriage and left.
