Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 20: Crimson Vigor Pill

Jia Hao turned around and looked at Pharmacist Mo. " Elder Mo, the main trial has been over. All you need to do is to prescribe some simple medicines to these villagers."

" Also, Elder Yang, you should investigate two things. First the outbreak of disease in Anzu Village, and second..." Jia Hao lowered his voice as he spoke.

" The traitors hidden in the medicinal store."

Both Cai Lingzhi and Old Yang were shocked when they heard Jia Hao's words. However, Old Yang was more amazed to see the decision making skill of Jia Hao.

"Don't worry, Young Master Jia. We will handle it thoroughly." Old Yang bowed. " Since everything is done here, you should head back to the mansion. After all, you just wed first young miss."

" Oh, That..." Jia Hao nodded as he clicked his tongue. " Well, Since everything is done here, I should return."

Then he turned to Niu Deng, " Elder Niu, Is it? It's saddening to see that you didn't come to the wedding. No worries, please come if you want to eat banquet food."

" Yo-You!!" Niu Deng clenched his fist as he laughed coldly. " Good! Very good! Our Niu Family shall come to pay respect to the Cai Family this evening."

" Niu Deng, You can go back now. Our Fragrant Medicine Store doesn't welcome you." Old Yang spoke in a curt voice. Nie Deng snorted as he turned around and left.

Returning to the Cai Family estate, everyone in the family sat there without batting an eye.

However, the news of the triumphant return of Jia Hao and Cai Lingzhi made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

" What? A magical water cured all the villagers of Anzu Village?" Cai Yunhai was stunned.

" Jia Hao didn't ask for money in return?"

Li Rou was also stunned. Cai Yixue sat silently.

Although she and Jia Hao are now married, they definitely don't have any emotional attachment. Calculating a rough amount, it makes no sense for Jia Hao to spend that much to solve the trouble of the Cai Family.

' Why? Why did he help?'

Cai Yixue sighed. However, she was relieved that the Cai Family withstood the troubles for now.

" Hehe, Niu Family said they are going to visit us, huh?" Cai Yunhai clenched his fist as he gave a cold laugh. " Very well, I have already prepared many gifts for them."

" Indeed. Those bastards, Let's see how can they bully our Cai Family anymore." Li Rou also snorted.

" However, Where is our son in law? I truly want to reward him for his help."

Cai Lingzhi looked at Li Rou and spoke. " Brother In Law had returned to his room. He said he was feeling a bit tired, so he wanted to take some rest."

" After all, He is only a mortal scholar."

" A mortal scholar, huh?" Li Rou was a bit surprised. " I guess I forget sometimes that he is not a practitioner."

" Although we had to resort to such a method for Yixue's marriage, I can't accept that our son in law is merely a mortal." Cai Yunhai snorted lightly.

" What? He already helped you twice and you still want to scold him?" Li Rou glared at him, making Cai Yunhai shiver a bit.

" I mean...You understand what I mean, right?" Cai Yunhai spoke.

" However, Brother in Law already past the age of cultivation." Cai Lingzhi spoke. " He can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage this lifetime."

" That's true." Li Ruo nodded. " However, It seems you are forgetting something."

" Our treasury should have a Crimson Vigor Pill. I think we should reward him with it."

" Crimson vigor pill? The pill which can grant ten years worth of Internal Energy at once?" Cai Lingzhi was shocked. " Mother, Why didn't you give me that pill?"

" Because your cultivation is already fast enough." Cai Yunhai shook his head. " Not to mention, that pill simply forces medicinal energy into your body. So, it might limit your growth and talent."

" However, it was perfect for Jia Hao as it would simply make him reach the ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. Since he can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage, he doesn't need to worry about the side effects of the pill."

" Is that so?" Cai Lingzhi sighed. Cai Yixue looked at Li Rou. " Mother, The Niu Family might come here at any time. We should be prepared."

" Very well. I shall deliver the Crimson Vigor Pill to Brother in law." Cai Lingzhi nodded as she turned around and left.

Li Rou and Cai Yunhai looked at Cai Yixue whose expression already turned calm and solemn. " Father, Mother, As I suspected before, there is a traitor inside the Fragrant Medicine Store. Even Jia Hao hinted about it."

" But don't worry, We shall soon find the mole hidden there." Cai Yixue spoke normally. " However, For now..."

" Patriarch, It's urgent. The Niu Family has come to meet you."

Cai Yixue's words cut in the middle as a servant came running and bowed before Cai Yunhai.

" Haha! Good, Very good!" Cai Yunhai laughed coldly as he nodded. " Prepare the meeting hall. After all, they are our esteemed guests."

" As you wish, Patriarch Cai."

Soon, Cai Yixue with her parents walked to the meeting hall and saw the First Elder and others of the Niu Family sitting there.

" What is it, Niu Chao? Have you come to give Yixue her wedding gift?" Cai Yunhai smiled as he walked in.

" Hehe, Wedding gift, Patriarch Cai?" Niu Chao's face turned dark. " I should congratulate Miss Yixue for her marriage."

" However, I guess Patriarch Cai is forgetting about our betrothal contract. So, Have you prepared to face the consequences of breaching the contract?"

" Oh, Contract you say?"
