Chapter 655: Chapter 18: Zhuo Yuxiang [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Madam."

Shortly after, Lei Ren pushed open the door of his second wife, Zhuo Yuxiang’s room.

A beautiful woman, dressed in a purple silk dress, came out from behind a screen. Seeing it was Lei Ren, her eyes lightly rolled as she huffed and turned around.

Extremely dismissive.

"Madam..." Lei Ren managed a faint smile, and approached her again, "It’s been a while, why are you giving me this cold treatment?"

"You also know it’s been a while?" Zhuo Yuxiang retorted irritably, "Do you know how long it’s been since your last visit?"

"Haven’t I been busy lately?" Lei Ren said, "Madam, there’s no need for this cold demeanor, I know what you do in the study every day."

"Uh?" Zhuo Yuxiang’s eyebrows flicked, "What do you know?"

"I hear it from the servants, every day when they want to clean the study, they find you there, sweeping the desk, tidying the chair, wiping the pillars, dusting the window sill..." Lei Ren said smiling, "Madam, this clearly shows that you miss me."

With each place he mentioned, Zhuo Yuxiang’s gaze flickered, only calming down when he finished speaking.

After a pause, she pointed a finger at Lei Ren’s chest, "You heartless man, how often have you visited when you were free these past years? Where else can I go to reminisce about you but the study?"

"For the past few years, I have neglected you in favor of the Lei family’s business. I deserve to die." Lei Ren confessed sincerely.

"In these years, my husband has taken thirteen concubines for the sake of Lei family business, I can’t imagine how tired you must be." Zhuo Yuxiang responded, her face moved.

"..." Lei Ren fell silent.

Originally, when Zhuo Yuxiang, as a disciple of the Lunar Sect, agreed to marry him, a member of an aristocratic family from the Western Regions, he was indeed very touched. In the first few years, she had also helped him a lot.

However, after living together, Zhuo Yuxiang began to take advantage of his favor. Disregarding not only the respect due to his first wife, she even often flew into a rage with him in inappropriate situations. Lei Ren inevitably felt disgusted and was reluctant to see her more often.

Although Zhuo Yuxiang may have had her grievances, he also had his share of bitterness.

Even if you are a disciple of the Lunar Sect, there’s nothing extraordinary about it. When you reach a certain age, you will need to leave the mountain to gain experience and can’t stay in the sect. Although Lei family cannot necessarily be counted as an ancient family, it is still a major force, and as the heir of the family, he is overqualified for you. Yet you always put on a superior air, who would want to look at that?

However, he couldn’t say all this now, and could only carefully appease her: "Madam, please don’t say that. No matter how many women there are in the house, you will always be the first in my heart."

"Alright." Zhuo Yuxiang waved her hand, "Just get to the point, what is the matter?"

"Long ago, you used a secret method of the Lunar Sect to help my father imprint a map on Guan’s back, thus avoiding many prying eyes." Lei Ren explained slowly, "Now it’s time to remove that map."

"Oh?" Although Zhuo Yuxiang understood perfectly, she still feigned surprise and asked, "What happened?"

"Someone wants to buy that map for a sky-high price, and their influence is great." Lei Ren said, "After much contemplation, I believe that since they’ve come to us, they must have accurate information. If we don’t sell, we would have to move our entire family to a place where they can’t find us, which won’t be easy. And that map is just a fragment, and it hasn’t been of any use for all these years. We might as well sell it to them and get a windfall."

"That is indeed good news." Zhuo Yuxiang nodded in agreement, "We couldn’t find the remaining parts of the map anyway, so what use is it keeping the map?"

"However, it’s a pity." Lei Ren sighed, "According to legend, that map hides a celestial secret in the Immortal Treasure that cannot be measured in Spirit Stone Coins."

"Such a thing is not something we can hold onto." Zhuo Yuxiang said.

"Indeed." Lei Ren agreed, nodding his head.

Even a presence like Thunder Fortress dared not mention it openly, right? They could only hint at wanting to trade clandestinely. A mere hint of such a legendary Immortal Treasure could bring calamity. Even the Ten Earth Sects might not be able to hold on.

Not to mention the little Lei family.

...

"Father, Second Mother..."

Lei Guan, looking at the two who suddenly appeared in his room late at night, was somewhat confused, wondering what was going on.

"Guan, don’t panic, we’re just here to remove the thing on your body." Lei Ren said.

Lei Guan’s eyes lit up, he had always known that he was carrying something on his body, although he didn’t fully understand what it was. Hearing that it could finally be removed, he instantly felt relieved.

Lei Ren gently laid his hand on Ray Guan’s shoulder, and she immediately fell unconscious.

"Sir, please step back."

Zhuo Yuxiang came forward, bared the back of her robe, revealing a stark red line on her flawless, pearly spine, much like a scar.

Whiz——

Zhuo Yuxiang moved her hands like a spell, and then pointed at the red line with her fingers, Sizz.

The red line responded to the sound and started to crack. The luminescent glow protrude upwards. The white light opened to both sides like a book being flipped open, revealing a scroll beneath. Zhuo Yuxiang picked up the golden scroll with her fingers.

Whew——

In the blink of an eye, the turmoil had settled. Ray Guan’s back was free of any red lines, and it was as flawless as before.

Zhuo Yuxiang covered her with a blanket, then turned around and handed Lei Ren the fragmented map and whispered, "When I sealed this map for your father, we had just gotten married. In a blink of an eye, it’s already been over a decade."

"You have really worked hard all these years, my lady." Lei Ren held her hand.

That night, he naturally stayed in the second lady’s room. By dawn, he rose and left. After he left, Zhuo Yuxiang freshened up and went directly to Fang Zizai’s place.

"Second lady?" Seeing her arrival, Fang Zizai immediately welcomed her in, and ensured they were alone before closing the room’s door.

"I only have one question for you." Zhuo Yuxiang instructed: "If I ask you to elope with me, would you do it?"

"Ah... this..." Fang Zizai was taken aback, "Leave the Lei Family? If I could be with you, I’d certainly be happy. However, should we..."

"That’s enough." Zhuo Yuxiang quickly responded: "Do you know who the person who came to trade last night was?"

"Yes." Fang Zizai nodded, "It was Du Wuhen from Thunder Fortress."

"So it was him, no wonder he came as such..." Zhuo Yuxiang reflected for a moment, and then said, "I’ve already prepared a fake map. The one I gave Lei Ren was that one. The real map is with me. Lei Ren, if he discusses tonight’s trading time with you, let him set it at the third watch of the night. I’ll meet with the man one watch earlier for the trade. After I get the money, we can fly away and rebuild our version of Lei Family!"

"The real Immortal Treasure Map is with you?" Fang Zizai was startled a few times by her words. After pondering for a while, he thought it was feasible.

The reason he works for the Lei Family is for money and resources. If there is an opportunity to be his own boss, why wouldn’t he go for it? Without much hesitation, he agreed right away, "Okay! I’m with you!"

"Then you’ll wait for me at the western mountaintop during the second watch of the night. I shall join you the moment I finish the trade." Zhuo Yuxiang immediately plotted.

After they made the deal, she didn’t return to her room but went to another offering courtyard.

"Yuxiang, why are you here?" Chen Huang was surprised to see the second lady.

She wouldn’t generally show herself up in the daylight.

"I just want to ask you, do you want to run away with me?" Zhuo Yuxiang got straight to the point.

"Huh?" Chen Huang was taken aback, his shocked expression exactly matched Fang Zizai’s.

"I’ve got the real Immortal Treasure Map. Tonight, I will trade with the guy from Thunder Fortress before Lei Ren does." Zhuo Yuxiang went straight to the point,"When we get the windfall, will you go with me?"

"Th..th..this..." Chen Huang nervously rubbed his hands, "Of course I do."

"Alright then." Zhuo Yuxiang agreed, "Tonight, during the second watch, you should release all the demon beasts you are breeding in the garden to create chaos in the mansion, then go to East Mountain Gate and wait for me. I’ll find you as soon as I finish the trade and we’ll leave together!"

"Okay!" Chen Huang responded with conviction.

After seeing these two people, Zhuo Yuxiang went to the guest room.

Right now, Du Wuhen is touring around in the Lei residence accompanied by the Lei family members. Zhuo Yuxiang couldn’t approach him, so she left a letter in the guest room.

"The thing you want is with me. Come to the same place as last night during the second watch. Bring the money and I’ll trade with you. Anyone other than me is fooling you."
