Chapter 606 - 606: Heading to Kunlun

「The next morning.」

When Jiang Xinghai woke up, it was to the feeling of Yuan Xinyi's mouth.

He watched the very dedicated Yuan Xinyi and thought, 'This woman is trying so hard to please me for her family's sake. If I don't give her a clear promise, I'll end up hurting her.'

「Half an hour later.」

Jiang Xinghai, still "asleep," finally released himself.

Yuan Xinyi swallowed hard. Her eyes went wide for a second before a look of relief washed over her face.

She carefully cleaned him up before starting to get dressed herself.

"You're awake."

Jiang Xinghai really couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer. He opened his eyes and said, "I just had a wonderful dream..."

"What kind of dream?" Yuan Xinyi asked shyly, lowering her head.

"It was you... Ahem..."

Jiang Xinghai wasn't that shameless. Even though they had already slept together, it felt inappropriate to talk about what she did in his "dream."

"It was me what? What happened between us in your dream?" Yuan Xinyi's curiosity was piqued.

In reality, she knew better than anyone.

"You were... helping me out." Jiang Xinghai gestured vaguely.

"Did it feel very real? Do you want to have that kind of dream again?" Yuan Xinyi asked shamelessly.

"If it's possible, I'd hope so."

Jiang Xinghai smiled earnestly. "However, it doesn't seem right for you to always be the one giving in my dreams."

"If you want, I can enter your dreams every day."

Yuan Xinyi gently took Jiang Xinghai's hand. "Or, I could just not leave. I could stay with you like this, and you wouldn't need to dream to feel the real me every day."

"Let's talk about it after I get back to the Imperial City."

Jiang Xinghai shook his head slightly. "When the time comes, I'll pay a visit to your Yuan Family and give you a definite time to carry on my bloodline. Is that okay?"

"Are you... giving me a definite time?!" Yuan Xinyi was suddenly thrilled.

Jiang Xinghai nodded. "Yes. I don't think I should be so stingy with my bloodline. But before that, I still need to check out your Yuan Family. That's perfectly reasonable, right?"

"Okay, then I'll leave now and wait for you." Having finally gotten a definite timeline from Jiang Xinghai, Yuan Xinyi didn't want to stay a moment longer.

She had to return to the Imperial City immediately to discuss this top-priority matter with her family.

"Alright. Pack up, and we'll go to the airport together."

Jiang Xinghai was also in a hurry, so the two of them packed up quickly.

「A short while later.」

Jiang Xinghai, with Yuan Xinyi in tow, knocked on the door of his parents' suite.

"Xinghai, is that you?"

From inside the room came Jiang Wendong's hearty voice.

"Dad, it's me," Jiang Xinghai smiled.

The door opened. A rosy-cheeked Jiang Wendong lightly punched Jiang Xinghai on the chest. "You little rascal, that pill last night... Uh, and who is this?"

He had just been about to mention the vitality pill Jiang Xinghai had given him when he noticed the unfamiliar face of Yuan Xinyi.

"Oh, this is my friend, Yuan Xinyi."

Jiang Xinghai made the introduction. "And this is my dad."

"Hello, sir," Yuan Xinyi said politely.

"Hello. Come in, have a seat."

Jiang Wendong smiled meaningfully as he invited Yuan Xinyi into the room.

He then leaned in and whispered to Jiang Xinghai, "Xinghai, that pill from last night... its effect was unbelievable. Do you have any more?"

"Dad, even if the effects are good, you can't be too greedy," Jiang Xinghai said with a playful smile.

"You kid. Just tell me if you have more," Jiang Wendong's expression darkened.

"I do, of course I do."

Jiang Xinghai took out a small medicine bottle and stuffed it into Jiang Wendong's hand. "Once I go to Kunlun and ask my master to undo your Dantian Seal, you'll still be able to take these supplements. Just keep them for now."

"Good son!" Jiang Wendong grinned from ear to ear.

He had to admit, he and his wife hadn't been together for five years, and the wonderful experience last night was truly intoxicating.

With his Dantian sealed, his body was weak, and he had assumed he wouldn't have the stamina. He never expected the vitality pill from his son to be so incredibly effective.

It was safe to say the couple had a sleepless night.

Just then, Ji Qingya walked out of the bathroom.

Having not rested all night, she had just finished a bath.

"Mom, you're looking good."

Jiang Xinghai looked up. Ji Qingya, whose complexion had been dull, was already starting to look more radiant after the previous night.

"Xinghai, show some respect."

Ji Qingya always maintained a mother's dignity; after all, she was speaking to her son, not a daughter.

It was an embarrassing topic to discuss.

Of course, she too was thrilled about how wonderful the previous night had been.

"Dad, Mom, I have to leave now. You two rest well here in Shanghai. The Prince of the East, Cao Qing, will take care of everything."

Jiang Xinghai had come to say goodbye, and he bowed respectfully to his parents.

"Alright, go on. You don't have to worry about us anymore."

Ji Qingya lovingly caressed Jiang Xinghai's cheek. "It's been five years. You've endured more than enough. We're safe now, so you should start thinking about your own life. For instance, your other half."

As she spoke, she looked at Yuan Xinyi. "Xinghai, who is this?"

Realization dawned on Jiang Xinghai, and he immediately introduced the two.

Ji Qingya nodded to herself. The women her son knew were all quite impressive, in terms of both looks and figure.

Whether it was Zhong Yunman or Yuan Xinyi, either would make a fine daughter-in-law.

「Half an hour later.」

The four of them finished breakfast.

Jiang Xinghai and Yuan Xinyi got into a taxi and headed to Shanghai International Airport.

Since their flights were to different destinations, their gates were in different areas. They reiterated their plans for five days from now and then parted ways.

Jiang Xinghai sat in the waiting lounge and let out a soft sigh.

'It's eight in the morning now. The flight is at nine. I'll reach Kunlun around two in the afternoon. After that, I'll have to cross the mountain range to get to Jasper Pool, so I'll probably arrive around dusk.'

'I haven't seen my master in half a year,' Jiang Xinghai mused. 'She must be lonely all by herself. Maybe I should take this opportunity to invite her down from the mountain to join me in the world of mortals?'

His master, Yao Gu, was of an unknown age, but she looked to be in her thirties or forties.

In fact, if his three senior sisters stood beside his master, everyone would mistake them for four sisters.

'But back when I secretly learned the Dragon Locking Secret Technique, Master didn't blame me. Instead, she gave me some... constructive advice, telling me I had to interact with more women. When I go back this time, I wonder if she'll ask about what I've been up to for the last six months?'

A wry smile appeared on Jiang Xinghai's face.

Not long after, he boarded the flight to Kunlun.

The ticket Yuan Xinyi had booked for him was first class. The environment was comfortable and very quiet.

Jiang Xinghai put on an eye mask, preparing to rest for a few hours.

An unknown amount of time passed before the sound of music blasting from a phone's speaker startled him awake.

Immediately after, a peculiar, faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Without a doubt, it was the scent of a woman.

"Miss, could you please turn it down?"

Jiang Xinghai didn't take off his eye mask, speaking in the direction of the music.

"Who are you calling 'Miss'? You're the 'Miss'! Your whole family is full of 'Misses'!"

The woman blasting music from her phone immediately shot back, her almond-shaped eyes wide with fury.
