Chapter 231 - 119: Five Years Pass in the Blink of an Eye
"Who in the world is that? How could he be so arrogant? So presumptuous?"
The servant beside the young master couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, should we investigate them?"
"Anyone who can travel with such a beauty is surely no ordinary person."
The young master waved his hand dismissively. "I approached them because I thought they were father and daughter. Since that’s not the case, there’s no need to provoke them."
A few minutes later.
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin had arrived in their room at the inn.
After entering the room and bolting the door, Zhao Xin removed her hairpin, letting her long, beautiful hair cascade down. Then she spun around and wrapped her slender arms around Xu Lei.
"Uncle Hui Chi!"
Shy yet bold, she took the initiative to give Xu Lei a light kiss before saying in a bashful, delicate voice, her face blushing, "Bestow your Charitable Giving upon Xin’er!"
"Amitabha Buddha."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lei immediately began to kiss her tender lips passionately. "Here I come."
At the same time, he began removing her clothes, one piece after another.
"Uncle Hui Chi!"
Zhao Xin said again, "Xin’er wants to have your baby!"
"Alright."
Xu Lei smiled. "Then let’s have one!"
’Zhao Xin’s innate talent was quite good. Perhaps a child she bore would have excellent talent as well.’
Naturally, Xu Lei was happy with the idea.
「An hour later.」
"Uncle Hui Chi, let’s not have a baby just yet."
At that moment, Zhao Xin was nestled in Xu Lei’s arms. "In a few years," she said. "Let’s have one in a few years, okay?
Xin’er wants to keep receiving your Charitable Giving for a few more years.
The feeling of receiving your Charitable Giving is just so wonderful.
After a few years, we’ll have a baby."
"Alright."
Xu Lei kissed her lips as well. "Then we’ll have one in a few years.
We can have one whenever you want.
After all, at your current level of Cultivation, outsiders would still assume you’re in a stage that requires celibacy and the rejection of love.
Having a child right now isn’t really appropriate.
If other Cultivators were to find out, the secret of our Phoenix True Flame might be exposed."
"Mmm-hmm."
Zhao Xin said, "Then keep bestowing your Charitable Giving on Xin’er like this for a few more years.
Once Xin’er’s Cultivation improves, I’ll have a baby for you."
「Seven days later.」
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin were staying at an inn in the city.
Aside from their individual Cultivation, which involved refining Demon Cores,
they spent their time holding hands and wandering around the city, sightseeing.
This day.
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin went to a relatively famous local opera house.
Zhao Xin was quite interested in opera.
Since they weren’t short on worldly silver coins, the two of them got a private box.
Some wealthy patrons liked to sit in the front rows of the main audience area below.
But there were others who preferred not to be seen, so the opera house also had private boxes.
The boxes were on the second floor, with windows that overlooked the stage below.
After all, in this era, there was no internet.
So the value of opera stars wasn’t as high as that of celebrities on Earth.
Here, opera stars were truly just performers.
Their status was not high.
"Uncle Hui Chi, I know you don’t seem to be a big fan of opera."
Zhao Xin smiled. "It must be hard on you, coming with me.
If you get bored, you can bestow your Charitable Giving on me.
I’ll watch the opera while you bestow your Charitable Giving."
She leaned against the small window, watching the stage below.
"It’s fine. Don’t let me interrupt you from watching the opera."
Xu Lei said, "I’m never bored when I’m with you. Don’t worry, I’ll watch too. Maybe I’ll even grow to like it."
"But, Xin’er wants to receive your Charitable Giving."
But Zhao Xin looked back with a smile, wiggling her shapely hips. "Uncle Hui Chi, come on."
"Since you put it that way."
Xu Lei chuckled. "Alright."
After that, while Zhao Xin watched the opera, Xu Lei held her and began his gentle Charitable Giving.
Just then.
Xu Lei and Zhao Xin noticed.
The young master from seven days ago was there, fawningly escorting another young man to the opera as well.
However, they didn’t get a private box. Instead, they pushed straight through the crowd and sat down in the front row.
They sat there in the front row, watching the opera with an air of great authority.
It was clear at a glance that they were sons of powerful and noble families.
And the newcomer was even more distinguished than the first young master.
Ordinarily, this would have been none of Xu Lei and Zhao Xin’s business.
But unexpectedly, the young nobleman’s conduct was incredibly arrogant and domineering.
As he was watching the opera, he suddenly started harassing the lead performer on stage.
In those days, the performers on stage, though dressed as women, were actually all men.
Naturally, the performer was extremely resistant to his advances.
The other patrons in the audience didn’t dare to say a word to stop him.
Zhao Xin couldn’t help but furrow her lovely brows.
But she didn’t say anything either.
After all, for Cultivators of this era, the principle of keeping a low profile and avoiding karmic entanglement was ingrained to the bone.
"Young Master, I must ask you to stop!"
Of course, seeing Zhao Xin’s displeasure while he was holding her and bestowing his Charitable Giving, Xu Lei couldn’t help but call out in a clear voice, "We paid for tickets to watch the opera!
With you causing such a disturbance, how are we supposed to watch?"
The young nobleman was taken aback.
He never expected someone would dare to interfere with him.
Naturally, he was dismissive.
"I advise you to take my warning seriously."
Xu Lei continued, "Let the opera continue. I know you have an extraordinary status.
But you alone are not enough to act arrogantly in front of me.
If you think you’re so tough...
then this day next year will be your death anniversary.
And your so-called high-ranking official of a father won’t be able to save you."
Hearing such bold words from Xu Lei, the young nobleman was stunned.
His expression flickered between anger and uncertainty.
The other patrons in the surrounding audience were all completely shocked as well.
They never imagined someone would dare to speak to this young nobleman in such a way!
The first young master’s expression also changed, because he recognized the voice.
It was the voice of the man who had been traveling with that beautiful young woman seven days ago.
Subsequently, the young master also advised the nobleman not to cause any more trouble.
Many people had come to watch the opera, and among the audience, there might be someone with an extraordinary background!
After thinking it over, and perhaps because he couldn’t ascertain Xu Lei’s identity, the young nobleman didn’t cause any more trouble and simply left.
