Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 299 - 297: Youluo: I’ve Learned Something Real! Jiang Qingge: I Will Definitely Treat You Well

Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Youluo: I’ve Learned Something Real! Jiang Qingge: I Will Definitely Treat You Well

Opening his eyes, Lu Ye looked at the leaves of the small magic tree that seemed to have turned slightly yellow and immediately stopped absorbing.

This was the greatest treasure in his hands now. If he drained all the leaves’ color, he’d only regret it later.

He sent the small magic tree into the Myriad Dao Pavilion, hoping that its wonders could help the tree recover quickly and regroup its terrifying Source Qi.

Afterwards, Lu Ye unlocked the barrier he had set up around him.

Soon, night fell.

Having used the magical tree for cultivation during the day, Lu Ye decided not to cultivate at night but returned instead to the Jiang Family.

Seeing Lu Ye return at night, something he rarely did, Jiang Qingge was noticeably surprised and delighted.

"Have you had dinner?" Jiang Qingge asked.

Lu Ye shook his head, indicating he had not.

He rarely ate regular meals as normal people do, three times a day, because he didn’t need to eat to survive.

"Husband, wait for me a moment; I’ll go to the kitchen and get a few dishes." Jiang Qingge said as she left the small courtyard and headed for the Jiang Mansion’s dining hall.

...

When Jiang Qingge returned, she was holding a quite large food container.

At the same time, she was carrying a jar of wine in her other hand.

"I wasn’t sure if you’d want to drink, so I brought it just in case," Jiang Qingge explained, noticing Lu Ye’s gaze.

However, as she finished speaking, she blushed, perhaps because her words weren’t entirely truthful.

She started taking out the dishes from the food container. For two people, it was quite a feast: three dishes and a soup.

Although she claimed the wine was for Lu Ye, she quickly took out two cups, poured one for him and one for herself, clearly having planned this out.

No wonder she blushed when she mentioned it earlier.

Inside, Jiang Qingge was slightly nervous.

She indeed intended to recreate that previous candlelit dinner.

And... aided by the wine, she wanted to do things she usually wouldn’t dare to.

"Husband, may I toast to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye nodded slightly.

The wine of this world, naturally, wasn’t as strong as that of Blue Star, maybe about thirty degrees or so.

One cup down and Lu Ye remained composed, but across from him, Jiang Qingge’s cheeks showed a red flush.

Soon after, Jiang Qingge proactively refilled their cups again.

They hadn’t even started eating, but Jiang Qingge had already finished two cups of wine.

Lu Ye’s eyes flickered, seeming to recognize that Jiang Qingge’s goal tonight was indeed to get drunk.

Meanwhile, under the moonlit night, a petite figure silently slipped into the Jiang Mansion.

Momentarily, the petite figure, securely cloaked in black, came to her familiar spot and glanced into the small courtyard below, and froze.

"Huh... the master’s husband is back?!"

Thinking that Lu Ye had returned without telling her even half a word, the figure wrung her small fists, feeling quite vexed.

Soon after a few cups of wine, Jiang Qingge became evidently more talkative.

"Thank you for having dinner with me. I initially thought such a scene would never appear again," Jiang Qingge said, with deep apology flashing in her eyes.

Ever since that impulsive year, sometimes she wondered.

If she had taken her younger sister Jiang Lingyue’s advice at the start and not misdirected her anger at the fake disciples sent by the Red Cloud Sect towards Lu Ye...

Their relationship wouldn’t have taken so long to mellow out.

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind: an assassination in the street, the first meal they shared in the small courtyard, watching the moon outside the city.

And... outside the Black Tide Forbidden Land, how he came from a thousand miles away, saving her from danger!

As she got increasingly tipsy, Jiang Qingge’s eyes held deeper regret, and she murmured towards Lu Ye, "Thank you for letting go of past grudges! Will you... give me a chance? From now on, Qingge will surely treat you well!"

With those words, Jiang Qingge kissed Lu Ye again.

On the rooftop, Youluo watched wide-eyed, feeling like she had learned something new firsthand!

Next time... she would do exactly that!

Giving Youluo a chance, she wouldn’t mind.

The master indeed knew how to teach by example.

"You’re drunk..."

In the courtyard, Lu Ye said.

"I’m not drunk... I mean, I am drunk, but a person’s heart can’t lie."

Jiang Qingge willingly took Lu Ye’s hand: "Just feel Qingge’s heartbeat... it’s racing."

Lu Ye: "..."

To be honest, when Jiang Qingge put his hand over her heart, he didn’t feel much.

Such a gesture, done by Jiang Lingyue perhaps, might have been more palpable.

After all, the hindrance in feeling the heartbeat wasn’t as significant.

On the rooftop, Youluo, like a diligent student, quickly noted this scene, learning yet another thing.

...

Meanwhile, in the Five Poison Sect.

"What did you say?! The Five Poison Saint Son has been missing for over a month?!"

The Five Poison Sect Leader had a sullen expression, sternly scolding. "What are you all doing?! A living person disappears for a month, and you just noticed now?!"

At this, those below were quiet as mice, not daring to speak up.

The Five Poison Saint Son held a fairly high position within the sect, almost equal with the elders. How could they dare to overstep?

It was only when an elder went to discuss some matters with the Five Poison Saint Son that it was discovered he wasn’t in closed cultivation and actually missing!

The Five Poison Sect Leader, with a darkened face, pulled out a Communication Jade Token, intending to send a message to the Five Poison Saint Son to ask what happened.

But...

The Five Poison Sect Leader quickly found out he couldn’t send a message... he had been removed from the Communication Jade Token by the Saint Son!

"Fine... very fine!"

At that moment, intense killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Five Poison Sect Leader.

...

Jiang Qingge was, indeed, drunk.

A few minutes later, she lay sprawled on the stone table, still murmuring softly to herself.

Lu Ye shook his head and carried her to the room, helping her out of her outer garments.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Youluo had already silently slipped down.

"Master’s husband, you’re back?"

Feeling slightly indignant, Youluo said, "Why didn’t you tell me? It’s so annoying. We are on the same side, after all."

"Whether or not I tell you, you come by every so often to snoop around. You’d always find out anyway," Lu Ye replied calmly.

Youluo: "..."

He made such a good point, she found herself agreeing.

Her eyes shifted as she felt tempted to try the things she had just learned from the master.

But for now, since she was in the master’s courtyard, she decided against it.

Gazing at the bright moon, Lu Ye planned to make some time to visit the Eastern Territory again.

Calculating the time, the limitation to climb the East Cang Stele List was again lifted.
