Ascending, Do Not Disturb Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Making Money

Ling Bo shrank back into the clouds, not daring to breathe . After Huan Zhong and Kong Hou left, she sighed in relief . “Shi-shixiong, you said they could not be together . I said they did not have just a simple relationship between them . ”

Luckily she had not just charged out and called them . Otherwise, she would have been very embarra.s.sed . She could compete with Kong Hou on who dressed better, but she could not interrupt them in the middle of their loving .

Chang De had not thought that Huan Zhong and Kong Hou really got together . The cultivation world was casual about matters of love to the point they did not care . He had only ever seen interactions like the ones between Spirit Master Huan Zhong and Celestial Kong Hou in mortals .

“Let’s return . ” Ling Bo turned around . Radiance Sect was holding a banquet tonight . She could not scout out Kong Hou’s attire, so she had to work on her own . They were both pentad spirit base female cultivators . She could not lose to Kong Hou .

“All right . ” Chang De noticed Lin Hu had noticed them from the corner . He bowed to Lin Hu, turned the flying sword, and flew back to his own residence .

The Cloud Gazing Hall of Sword Cry Peak was Huan Zhong’s private residence . The entire palace was an enormous field of spirit energy . Each furnishing and each pillar carried special energy fields that were beneficial to pendad spirit base cultivators who lived there .

Compared to the grand wealth of Radiance Sect, Kong Hou suddenly felt Splendid Cloud Sect was very poor .

“Most of these are things I got from secret realms . ” Huan Zhong pushed open the cave door to the treasury . The cave was filled with flowing light, and richer than the treasuries of some sects .

Kong Hou looked at Huan Zhong, and then at the treasury . Was this a tyc.o.o.n flaunting his wealth?

“Apologies, I do not know what to give you . ” Huan Zhong held Kong Hou’s hand . “Pick whatever you like . ” He then put a jade scroll in Kong Hou’s hand . “Use this jade scroll to open the doors of this cave residence . ”

The jade scroll was icy cold in her hand . Kong Hou stilled and shoved the jade scroll back in Huan Zhong’s hand . “I am a messy person, I do not want to be your housekeeper . Your entire person is mine—what do I want the jade scroll for? If I want anything in the future, wouldn’t it be better if you got it for me?”

Huan Zhong held the jade scroll and seemed puzzled . “Then let’s see what is inside first, and then I will get what you want in the future?”

Kong Hou smiled brightly at Huan Zhong, amused and helpless . “You are usually calm and smart—why are you so stupid now?”

Huan Zhong was even more puzzled . Was he not doing very well?

“Let’s go . ” Kong Hou gripped Huan Zhong’s hand and walked into the treasury . There were numerous shelves placed in the treasury filled with all kinds of talismans and jewels as if they were worthless stones .

“This one . ” Kong Hou picked up a small and refined hairpin which had a formation that would glow when worn . “Tonight, there is a banquet . Many female cultivators will come . I will not let people say you are blind and picked an ugly-looking silly girl . ”

Huan Zhong heard her words and walked to a door in the corner . He pulled open the small door . Inside were side chambers filled with all kinds of jewelry and precious stones . The light was so blinding that Kong Hou’s eyes hurt .

“If you like those, that is so good . ” Huan Zhong smiled helplessly and said, “I do not know what to do with these things . ”

“Ah!” Kong Hou looked at the rings and hairpins in the small room and jumped onto Huan Zhong to hug him . “Huan Zhong, I finally understand why many people like rich people . ”

For the first time, she clearly realized how strong this man she was in a relationship with was .

Good-looking, great cultivation, and a treasury filled with numerous talismans…

“In my last life, I must have saved the entire cultivation world to encounter you . ” Kong Hou turned to look at Huan Zhong . Even the brightest jewels and talismans could not shine as brightly as this man .

“What?” Huan Zhong was slightly puzzled .

Kong Hou shook her head and closed the door for Huan Zhong . “Take me back, I need to dress . ”

Huan Zhong looked at the closed door, and then at Kong Hou who was preparing to leave the treasury . She had been so happy just now to see the jewelry inside, but why didn’t she go in to pick?

“I have already picked the most valuable treasure in here . ” Kong Hou tilted her head . “If I do not go, I fear people will come steal . ”

“Just a hairpin, it is not a treasure…”

“Here . ” Kong Hou and Huan Zhong walked out of the treasury . She grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers together . “I am taking away the rarest and most precious treasure of Radiance Sect . ”

A powerful wind blew away the clouds in the sky . The sky was blue and so beautiful people could almost forget everything .

“This precious treasure is willing to follow you for a lifetime . Even if other people steal, they won’t be able to steal it away . Do not throw him away, will you?” Huan Zhong bent down slightly to be closer to Kong Hou . He had a faint herbal fragrance . Kong Hou unconsciously grabbed his waist .

“As long as the treasure doesn’t grow legs and run away, I will not bear to throw it away . I will hold it in my hand, and hide it in my pocket . I will let everyone know he is my treasure . ”

“So…”—Huan Zhong laughed softly—”are you going to give me a status?”

Kong Hou: “…”

So he did this much in order to get a status?

She coughed dryly and scratched Huan Zhong’s palm . “I will, I will . After this conference finishes, I will return and tell Master …” Midway through, she covered her mouth and shook her head . She said, “I cannot say it . ”

“Why?” Huan Zhong saw her wide eyes and looked down . “I have made it difficult for you . ”

“It is not that,” Kong Hou explained . “Look at those people in the storybooks . If they say they are going to do an important matter after they finish something, they usually do not have good endings . I am going to ascend together with you—I cannot say such things . ”

Huan Zhong laughed and felt Kong Hou was even more adorable . He nodded and said, “As long as you remember to give me a status . ”

Kong Hou looked around guiltily . Luckily, no disciple of Radiance Sect was around . Otherwise, if they heard such things, wouldn’t they think she was sc.u.m that used people and then left them?

“I will see you back . ” Looking at Kong Hou’s guilty appearance, Huan Zhong reached out . “Later, Spirit Master Qiu Shuang will walk ahead, and you and I will go to the banquet together?”

Kong Hou: “…”

Wasn’t this akin to telling everyone she and Huan Zhong had a very close relationship?

“It is not possible?” Huan Zhong smiled gently at Kong Hou . “I have made it difficult for you . It is more appropriate for you to walk with Spirit Master Qiu Shuang . ”

When a good-looking man who usually did not smile gave a tolerant and pained smile, almost no woman could resist the beauty . Kong Hou was a woman, and one with a normal sense of beauty . When her man showed an expression like this, she could not help but feel for him .

“All right . ” Kong Hou nodded . “Together with you . ”

The beauty was seductive, and she… she was helpless . This was a mistake that any normal woman would make .

“Kong Hou, I am very happy . ” Huan Zhong’s smile grew warmer, like a sweet coat of sugar that wrapped around Kong Hou’s entire heart .

She would not bear to refuse climbing a mountain of blades with him if he smiled like this, much less appearing with him at the banquet . Other than spoiling her man, what else could she do?

“Greetings to Zhong Xi Shishu, Celestial Kong Hou . ” A disciple of Radiance Sect came over .

“Yes . ” Huan Zhong’s smile immediately disappeared and he returned to looking aloof . However, he did not bear to release Kong Hou’s hand . “Miss Kong Hou is an honored guest of our Sword Cry Peak . Based on seniority, you can call her shishu . ”

“Yes . ” The young sword cultivator looked at Huan Zhong and Kong Hou’s linked hands . He was stunned inside but bowed to Kong Hou . “Junior greets Kong Hou Shishu . ”

“No need for such politeness . ” Kong Hou shoved a brocade bag at this disciple . “Meeting gift . ”

The disciple peeked at Huan Zhong . Seeing him not object, he took it . “Thank you, Shishu . ”

When this disciple left, Huan Zhong suddenly said, “Should I make up gifts for your junior disciples?”

Kong Hou smiled . “If you are willing, I will thank them for you . ”

He laughed at her . The two took more than an hour to walk the short way to return to Kong Hou’s hall . Wu Chuan, standing at the door, saw the two walking hand in hand and peeking at each other . Then he looked back at his fellow disciples . How could he help cover up for her?

The disciples of Splendid Cloud Sect were watching with relish and using sound arts to talk to each other .

[I just knew that there is nothing in the cultivation world that Kong Hou Shimei cannot do . Base Building in four years, recruiting Five Flavors Manor, and now even getting Spirit Master Zhong Xi of Radiance Sect . The hero of our generation . ]

[I never expected the usually cold and n.o.ble Spirit Master Zhong Xi would be like this when together with Kong Hou Shimei . ]

[Men, they always have many faces . ]

[Shijie, I am also a man…]

[Men who are not good-looking enough will have no one to admire them even if they have many faces . Little Shidi, life is very cruel—you have to understand as early as possible . ]

[…]

Huan Zhong bid farewell to Kong Hou . Seeing the path friends standing at the door, he bowed slightly to them and turned to leave . Returning to Cloud Gazing Hall, Huan Zhong said, “Lin Hu, did you find the books?”

“All here . ” Lin Hu took out a thick stack of storybooks to give to Huan Zhong . “The most well-rated and popular books on the market for gaining the favor of women are all here . ”

Huan Zhong nodded and did not immediately read them . He said, “Today, I took her to see the treasury, and gave the jade scroll for the treasury to her . She did not want it . Why?”

“Master . ” Lin Hu laughed . “Miss Kong Hou is not a greedy person . I fear that your jade scroll will not be accepted . ”

“Then how can I give it to her?” Huan Zhong frowned .

“Maybe when Miss Kong Hou is willing to become path companions with you?” Lin Hu raised an eyebrow and thought seriously about this question . “Master, keep working hard . ”

Huan Zhong was silent .

If he could join and become path companions with Kong Hou…

No, the main problem now was that he had to obtain a status .

“Right, Master, there is a matter I forgot to tell you . ” Lin Hu took out a money bag with a few spirit stones inside .

“Why give me this?” Huan Zhong looked at the spirit stones in Lin Hu’s hand . He did not lack for these things . What was Lin Hu doing?

“Master, your storybooks made money . ”

Having written for many years, they had been losing money all this time before finally managing to make money . All the bookshops of the cultivation world were greatly moved .
