" I am giving you the badge, even if you are agreeing or not." Cai Yunhai huffed.
" Not to mention, this will help you to increase your reputation."
" Husband, It's alright. Hao'er is already helping us a lot." Li Rou soothed Cai Yunhai.
" What do you know?" Cai Yunhai snorted. There was clear frustration in his eyes.
" There are so many cases, so many files! I am getting tired of reviewing everything. Besides, Those shitty court sessions, not a single case is solved without us squeezing out the truth from the culprit."
" Haah, He is drunk again." Li Rou got up and helped Cai Yunhai. " Hao'er, don't mind him, Ok? It's just the job of City Magistrate is really tiresome."
" I understand, Mother in Law." Jia Hao smiled lightly. He knew Cai Yunhai was just jesting.
" Alright, Now excuse us."
" Ngghh! Let me go! I am sober!" Cai Yunhai muttered as Li Rou took him away.
" Sure, Let's go back to our bedroom. We can discuss it there."
Jia Hao shuddered as he saw a faint smirk on Li Rou's face as she took Cai Yunhai back to the bedroom.
' Damn, Mother in Law's intentions are anything but good.'
Giving a silent prayer for Cai Yunhai, Jia Hao gently swung his wine cup.
" What are you thinking?"
" I am thinking, There is so much meat. But, won't they get spoilt if they remain outside?"
" Most meat was stored in cold storage." Cai Yixue replied. " With that, it remains secure for a few days. But still, there are chances for the meat to get spoilt."
" Hah? You got cold storage here?" Jia Hao was interested. " Is it filled with ice?"
" Nope, What you were talking about is the Frozen Chambers. Those are expensive to make. Not only do you need Volcano Dust Clay and Millenium Yin Iron as walls, you need to engrave them with rune diagrams."
" There are only two Frozen Storage in Nanhai City. One is used by the Law department as the morgue. But it's much smaller."
" The second one is under Suo Family. They used it to keep various meat and vegetables. That's more like a business for them. You need to pay for them to keep your stuff in storage safe."
" Actually, It became popular only fifty years ago. It was researched by the otherworldly beings and studied by Taoist priests and monks here."
" Our talisman works only worked on small things like charms or weapons. However, with the otherworldly knowledge, they expanded the rune diagrams."
' Hmm, So basically a magical freezer? The rune diagram absorbs the energy crystals from monsters and from the surroundings to keep the storage cold?'
' I guess we can make some money here too. Soon enough, our smithies would start producing superior Millenium Yin Iron.'
" Interesting. I always wanted to meet these otherworldly beings. I wonder if there are some here?" Jia Hao chuckled.
" I am sure there would be." Cai Yixue didn't deny it, but her gaze still went back to the small pool of soup in Jia Hao's bowl.
" Why didn't you drink that? Mom said it was tasty." Cai Yixue asked.
" Uh?" Jia Hao looked at the Wolf's soup and looked back at Cai Yixue. " Why didn't you drink it?"
" I drank the soup just a little. It's too spicy for me. And it tastes rather...Hmm, Energetic." Cai Yixue muttered.
" You spent your time in Nanhai Mountains. I believe it should rejuvenate you."
Jia Hao smiled wryly when he heard that. " Thank you for your concern, Wife. However, As I said, I am full today."
Suddenly, leaning towards her, Jia Hao smirked. " And, I believe you would rather not let me drink this."
As he walked away, Cai Yixue sat on her seat stunned.
' Hu-Huh? Why? Why did he say that?'
" Minmin, Come here."
" Yes, Young Miss?"
Cai Yixue was stunned when she heard that.
" Why would I think of other women, When I have my wife?" Jia Hao spoke lightly. " Since I am with you now, I will only think of you."
' What is it? What is it I am feeling?' Cai Yixue bit her lips as she sighed.
Feeling the mood of Cai Yixue, Jia Hao let her go.
Silently reaching the threshold of the bedroom, Cai Yixue turned around.
" It's late and you must be tired. Not coming to sleep?"
" I am afraid. Not tonight." Jia Hao smiled ruefully. " I have to return."
" Alright."
Cai Yixue replied shortly as she went to the bedroom. However, she couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
" Well, I thought maybe...we could sleep cuddling today."
" Ugh, What are you thinking, Yixue? It's not supposed to be like that."

Sleeping on the sofa, Jia Hao woke up on the sofa once again. But this time, It was in the Su Family mansion.
" Ugh, It's morning already?"
Jia Hao yawned as he got up.
" Hu-Huh? What are you wearing?"
Jia Hao's body chilled as he looked behind. It was none other than Su Xing'er.
" Xi-Xing'er?"
" Good Morning. But, What's with your attire?"
Su Xing'er was stunned when she saw Jia Hao in his ancient robe.
Usually, Jia Hao changes in his room and walks out in his normal clothes. But since he slept outside, he forgot about that.
" Holy shit, Are you cosplaying in the early morning or something?" Su Xing'er instantly pulled out her phone and clicked some photos.
" Wait, What are you doing?" Jia Hao chided.
" Well, You do look handsome. And...Why not? Why not I post I post it on the internet for sweet little internet points?"
" But really, What are you doing with it?"
Jia Hao thought for a moment before finally biting the bullet. " I...I was trying this new cosplay, ok?"
" Now?" Su Xing'er was speechless.
" Anyway, I am going to change." Jia Hao turned and walked to her room.
" Wait, Elder Sister is still sleeping there."
Jia Hao paused his steps for a moment before walking even faster.
" That's even better."
Su Xing'er was speechless as she chased after him.
" Your pervert."
