After eating at Zhang Wude's place, Ye Kong was not in a hurry to return to his own courtyard. Instead, he went to the back garden. He wanted to pick the fruits of the grain tree, but halfway there, he remembered that it was winter. How could there be any trees blooming or bearing fruit?
Ye Kong was depressed. If he had known earlier, he would have picked more in his storage bag. Now, there was no place to pick them. Without them, how could he refine the Fasting Pill?
He wanted to ask Patriarch Acheron if he had any substitutes, but the patriarch had played too much today. He was physically exhausted and did not wake up.
Ye Kong did not give up. He ran to the back garden and saw that the grain tree was clean. Only then did he give up.
However, what made Ye Kong surprised was that on such a cold night, there was actually a servant and a servant girl on a date. Hiding in the cave of the fake mountain, they actually took off their pants and started to move around. Their spirits were really commendable.
In the pitch-black cave, there was a faint rhythmic movement of white, mixed with the soft moans of a woman in her throat. Ye Kong did not want to peek, but he felt that the man's back was familiar. He paid more attention and realized that it was the centurion guarding the ancestral hall, Liu Changqing.
If it was anyone else, it would have been fine. But Liu Changqing was the head of the bodyguards. How could he break the rules? Even if you're in love with a certain servant girl, don't do it here. This place isn't hidden at all. If I, Ye Kong, were to see it, you'd be in trouble. The Ye Family's military rules are very strict. This is enough to chop off your head!
"Cough!" Ye Kong coughed outside.
The two people inside were clearly frightened and did not dare to move. When Ye Kong called Liu Changqing's name again, this guy hurriedly pulled up his pants.
He came out with a maid and knelt down to Ye Kong. Ye Jiajun's rules were strict. Doing this with a maid in the inner courtyard of the Ye Family was a capital offense. Even the maid would be beaten to death. This was called death by beating.
Liu Changqing knew the severity and was scared to death. He knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Kong.
Ye Kong naturally would not punish Liu Changqing. He asked again and found out that Liu Changqing and this maid had taken a liking to each other. The two slowly began to interact and finally had sex.
Usually, Liu Changqing would not dare to be so bold. However, the situation at the border was getting more and more tense. Liu Changqing received Ye Wei's order to return to the camp and was about to leave. Before they parted, the two had an appointment at night to say sweet words and could not help but do it for real.
It was understandable to be intimate before leaving. but Ye Kong asked again, "Since you two are in love, why not redeem her and settle down in the southern city?"
Liu Changqing sighed. "Little Juan is a servant girl in the Ninth Madam's room. She is clever and hardworking. The Ninth Madam has never been willing to let go of her. I also asked, but the Ninth Madam refused."
Xiao Juan was also smart and quick-witted. She quickly kowtowed to Ye Kong and said, "Eighth Young Master, please give us justice."
"Okay, I'll help you talk to her tomorrow." Ye Kong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Liu Changqing had long wanted to ask Ye Kong for help, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Now that he received Ye Kong's promise, he was overjoyed and thanked him, saying, "Eighth Young Master, you're like my second parent. I, Liu Changqing, will definitely do anything for you …"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. I don't lack cows and horses." Ye Kong gave Liu Changqing a kick and threw down a hundred taels of silver. "Redeem Xiao Juan tomorrow and find a house in the city. You will have settled down."
Ye Kong left after saying this. Liu Changqing held the silver and kowtowed a few more times. He thought to himself, "If Eighth Young Master needs me, I, Liu Changqing, will definitely repay you with my life!"
When Ye Kong returned home, Lu Qin was talking to Chen Jiuniang. He went in to say hello and then returned to his room. Xiao Hong was waiting for him. He had to comfort Xiao Hong today.
After returning to the house, they weren't in a hurry to do anything. Instead, they chatted for a while. When Ye Kong said that he didn't manage to pick any fruits from the Chaff Grain Tree, Little Red giggled and pulled Ye Kong to a small storeroom at the back.
"Wow, you prepared so much for me? I finally know what it means to have a good wife. " Ye Kong looked at the large pile of grain fruits on the ground and could not help but feel happy. He hugged Xiao Hong and gave her a kiss.
"Aiya, Eighth Young Master." Xiao Hong said with a red face, "In autumn, these fruits were all ripe, so we picked a few more in case Young Master needed to use them. Even if you don't use them, we can just throw them away … I didn't expect that we would really need to use them."
"En, it's better to be prepared in advance. Good job." Ye Kong kept the dozens of Grain Tree's fruits into his storage bag. He took a closer look and found that Little Red had been preserved quite well. Not a single one of them was damaged.
If these grain fruits were refined into pills, they would not starve for years.
"Speak, what reward do you want?" Ye Kong hugged Xiao Hong's soft waist and said.
"Reward?" Xiao Hong did not think of this problem. She was stunned for a moment and said, "This servant was afraid that Young Master would use them. I never thought of a reward."
Ye Kong said, "Then let's go back to the room and reward."
Xiao Hong understood what Ye Kong meant. She was embarrassed, "Eighth Young Master, you are really bad. You want to punish me … that, and you want to reward me. I don't want that."
"Okay, if you don't listen, I'll double the reward."
After an unknown period of time, in Ye Kong's room, two people who no longer had the strength to fight were hugging each other on the bed. Although Ye Kong had given them the surplus grain, they still did not want to come out. They were in each other's body. They had an endless amount of intimate words.
"Young Master, compared to half a year ago, you … have grown bigger." Xiao Hong giggled after saying that.
"Is that so? I've grown bigger. I haven't stopped. I'll grow bigger in the future." Ye Kong hugged Xiao Hong's waist from behind. His big hands touched the bottom of the valley. He was intoxicated and did not want to stop.
"This servant can't take it anymore." Xiao Hong could not help but turn around and pinch Ye Kong's face a few times.
"If you can't take it anymore, I'll find someone else." Ye Kong said.
"No!" Xiao Hong turned around and held Ye Kong's face. She said with infatuated eyes. "Young Master is Xiao Hong's."
Ye Kong asked, "Then Xiao Qin will be unhappy."
Xiao Hong laughed, "Xiao Qin is fine."
"Why?"
"Because she also helped me pick up the grains and fruits. Normally, Young Master should reward her." Little Red was very generous to Lu Qin.
"She is still young." Ye Kong returned the things that fell out to her.
"She is the same age as you. If you treat me so well, she won't be happy." Although Lu Qin never said it before, girls were still very meticulous. Xiao Hong could still see through Lu Qin's thoughts.
"Tomorrow, take some time to accompany Xiao Qin alone." Xiao Hong adjusted her angle and said.
"Eh, I'm leaving the city tomorrow. I'm going to go into seclusion outside the city for a few months." Ye Kong wrinkled his brows. Actually, his thoughts towards Lu Qin were very complicated. Xiao Hong wanted her to keep it a secret. As for Feng Siniang, she was just playing around.
But towards Lu Qin, he felt that they were both young. There was no need to be too anxious. He wanted to give Lu Qin more opportunities. After all, he was a cultivator. Half a year of seclusion was already very long, and it would be even longer in the future. If Lu Qin had to endure loneliness since she was ten years old, Ye Kong felt that it was a bit cruel. Marrying a husband and not seeing each other a few times in her life, how was that different from being a widow?
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Ye Kong once again pressed Xiao Hong down and prodded her.
The night passed without words.
Early the next morning, he heard the sound of Lu Qin practicing martial arts outside. In the past half a year, her Shadow Martial Arts had improved. The sound of her treasured sword cutting through the wind was like the sharp whistling of the wind, incessantly lingering in the ears.
Actually, people were really unfair. Some people could sleep with beautiful maids until the sun rose, but they could live forever. Some people could train in the heat of summer and the cold of winter, but they could still become a secular world expert.
The world was forever unfair. Spiritual roots were something that no one could surpass. Although the barbarian cultivation method did not require spiritual roots, it required one to absorb spiritual energy. It was truly too cruel. Moreover, this kind of heaven defying cultivation method would make it hard for one to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. They would kill countless people, but in the end, they would only be at the Qi Refining Stage. This was the reason why Ye Kong did not let Lu Qin cultivate the barbarian cultivation method.
"Old ancestor, is there a way to cultivate without spiritual roots?" Ye Kong was lying on the bed. Xiao Hong had already gone down. Although Ye Kong still wanted to do some morning exercises, Xiao Hong was afraid that her good sisters would hear her shyness, so she rejected it.
"No." Old ancestor Acheron did not say much and rejected Ye Kong with two words.
"Then is there a way to let people without spiritual roots have spiritual roots?" Ye Kong still did not give up.
Old ancestor Acheron was not in a hurry to answer this time. However, after a while, he still gave an answer that disappointed Ye Kong. "There is, but it is equivalent to no."
Ye Kong's interest was piqued.
After listening to Old ancestor Acheron's explanation, he realized that it was actually just a legend.
A long, long time ago, there was an Arab story. It was the story of Ali Baba …
It was just a joke. According to the legend, a long, long time ago, there was a cultivator from the shadow clan who researched a kind of heaven defying spiritual medicine that could change one's meridians and cleanse one's marrow.
It was said that this medicine was very popular, but many people returned empty-handed in the end.
The reason was that one of the medicinal ingredients in this spiritual medicine was very rare. This medicinal ingredient was called the Yuan Ling Fruit. It was already extinct in the era that Old ancestor Acheron lived in. It was even said that this thing was accidentally brought down by a cultivator from the upper realm.
If a cultivator from the upper realm descended, he would have to open up a crack in space. This was not something that ordinary people could do, so this thing was almost non-existent.
Therefore, this legend was quickly forgotten. How could one find something that did not exist in this realm?
Of course, Ye Kong could also wait until he ascended and go to the immortal realm to obtain a great supernatural power. Then, he could open up a crack in space and send it to Lu Qin.
However, the premise was that Ye Kong was really that awesome, and the key was that Lu Qin could live to that day.
It seemed like these two prerequisites were 100% impossible to achieve. Therefore, Old ancestor Acheron said that there was, but it was equivalent to no.
