Awakened: The Spirit King!

Many unanswered questions were bothering City Lord Xie Yong, and the expression on his face revealed that he was bewildered, confused, and worried.

Lord Xie Yang knew that not telling the truth and keeping his father in the dark wouldn't be a smart move. His silence would only make his father worry about him even more.

"Father, whatever I am about to tell you, please don't get angry after hearing it. Promise?"

"I promise."

Lord Xie Yang very patiently revealed a lot of things to his father. The more he said, the angrier City Lord Xie Yong felt. He couldn't believe someone had poisoned his son with the spiritual energy scattering powder under his nose. He wanted to find the culprit and cut him into pieces.

"Whoever that bastard is, I promise I will find him and give him the cruelest death!" City Lord Xie Yong's eyes had turned red with anger and murderous desires. He felt too angry but feeling so much anger wasn't good for his age.

"Father, don't get angry. You need not worry about me. I have already cured myself of the poison. I am fine and able to cultivate. As for the culprit, I already have a few suspects in mind. And I only need some time to confirm the identity of the poisoner.

I hope you can put your trust in me and let me deal with this matter myself. It will do us no good if the poisoner realizes that we are already aware of them. He or she might run away."

Lord Xie Yang's eloquent words helped calm down his father.

City Lord Xie Yong looked at his son and saw the determination of a stubborn but honest man in his eyes. He knew that his son was serious about seeking the culprit out himself.

He didn't know how his son suddenly learned the way to deal with one of the deadliest poisons in this world.

However, after he thought back to the words the mysterious man he had met in the forest had said to him, he concluded that an immortal had indeed enlightened his son, just like the mysterious man had said would happen after his son marries a woman with the surname Lin!

"One month. If you fail to find the culprit in that time, then don't stop me from doing what I want." Lord Xie Yong's anger hadn't vanished. He had only suppressed it for the time being. The moment he feels the need to stop controlling it and let it out, many people would die.

Lord Xie Yang was sure that his father would kill all the maids serving him and all the people who had come in contact with him in anger. City Lord Yong was the type of person who would kill ten people even if nine of them were innocent for the sake of his son. Lord Xie Yang didn't want people to lose their life for no reason. He didn't want his father to dirty his hands either.

And he was sure that if his father did that, the main culprit would most likely escape, and nasty rumors about his father would pop up everywhere.

What they needed to do was move with patience. Only then would they catch the main culprit without harming innocent people or their reputation.

"Father, I will capture the culprit within three weeks." Lord Xie Yang said in a voice overflowing with confidence. His straight back and regal demeanor were enough to convince his father.

Lord Xie Yang went to the back garden to cultivate. Now that he had no poison in his body, nothing was stopping him from reaching the initial stage of the first level of the elixir field nourishing realm.

While he busied himself in cultivating and gathering 32 points of spiritual energy, his father called for Xie Ye and told him to investigate and find out who poisoned Xie Yang.

It was way past daytime when Lord Xie Yang reached a step away from the middle stage of the first level of the first cultivation realm. He was facing a bottleneck. The way to break it was simple. He needed the spiritual core of a beast within the first ten levels. There were many beasts in the wild. Hunting them down wasn't easy but also not too hard.

And as he had a lot of experience dealing with various enemies and unexpected situations, he was sure that he would successfully hunt them down. It was just that beasts were highly active at nighttime. Night in the Twilight forest was the most dangerous, and thus, he could only go tomorrow.

"Lord husband, welcome back." Lin Hua said right after she noticed her husband entering the room. She was sitting on the bed, and a pleasant smile amplified her cuteness. Hei and Bei were cleaning her hands using a towel wet with warm water.

"Hua'er, I'm back." Lord Xie Yang replied as he stared lovingly at his wife.

"You two can leave." He said to the two maids.

Lin Hua was confused. Did her lord husband not want her to get clean? Did she have to sleep without cleaning her body?

"As you command, young master." The two maids dared not defy the order of their master, and they left the room in a hurry.

Lord Xie Yang's lips curled into a smile. He was finally alone with his wife. He locked the door, making Lin Huw wonder what he was planning to do. He said not a word as he walked up to Lin Hua and sat beside her.

"I will clean you." Lord Xie Yang gently wiped her ears, shiny forehead, and the rest of her face before moving down to her neck. Lin Hua felt weird. She didn't know why but she was feeling hot.

He cleaned her neck and then placed a kiss on her forehead and then the tip of her small nose, and then brought his lips close to her mouth.

"You smell nice, Hua'er." Lord Xie Yang said as his sultry breath brushed against his wife's cheeks.

She blushed, and her face reddened.

"Thank you." She didn't forget to thank him for praising her.

Her obedience and gentleness captivated Lord Xie Yang.

He felt the lustful urge to please her, make her climax!
