Tao Kang looked at the patriarch of the Chu family, who was carrying two children in his arms and Chu Bohai was on his back.
Then he looked at Chu Jiayi who had a thoughtful look, he also watched the children and the patriarch, but Tao Kang didn't ask what he was thinking.
"You're not going with me to the opening?" Asked Chu Jiayi, withdrawing his thoughts and looking at Tao Kang, who was already watching him.
"No, I don't like crowds. Not to mention, that I understand very little about this kind of event, " Tao Kang said, shrugging as he spoke because he didn't really know how to behave in this kind of event, he did not like to exchange frivolities with people.
Chu Jiayi sighed, he didn't want to go alone to the event, even if he was accompanied by his grandfather and his father, being watched by his sons and his mother, he wanted Tao Kang to be there. In fact, he wanted Tao Kang's approval of the hospital or about the reforms he has been employing overtime in the city of Nan Kan.
However, Tao Kang is a man of the martial cultivation, he is focused only on this and doesn't understand other things outside this scope, not to mention that the implementations of Chu Jiayi are a little incomprehensible to the ancient men.
Let alone an ancient man who is only interested in martial cultivation!
This was one of the problems of having the soul of a more advanced world, especially if his companion wasn't interested in such administrative matters.
Tao Kang watched Chu Jiayi's disappointed expression, he felt his heart grow anxious, but he couldn't force himself to act in a way he didn't like or behave in a hypocritical manner, at least not to his beloved companion.
Chu Jiayi was lost in his thoughts about the difference between a modern person and a person of the old era when he felt strong arms pull him into a hard and hot chest.
"I'm sorry, I'm not good at dealing with high society people," Tao Kang said against Chu Jiayi's hair, he hugged him suddenly because he felt that Chu Jiayi somehow was moving away from him.
Chu Jiayi was silent because he knew that Tao Kang was already like that, not only because of the book he read in his past life but because of the unashamed and free attitudes he demonstrated in this last month.
"I know," said Chu Jiayi holding Tao Kang's hand and placing a gentle kiss on the bronze-colored hand of the Tao hero.
Tao Kang felt his heart beating furiously in his chest, whenever Chu Jiayi acted like that, he felt a little lost, half-foolish and half-eager to not let CHu Jiayi out of his bed!
Ah, ah the hero really is turning out to be a pervert!
Very reluctantly Tao Kang departed from Chu Jiayi, so his beloved husband went along with his faithful servant devil, Kan'er, for such an inauguration.
Tao Kang goes to the training yard and sits on a stone bench, he stood to watch the lake with the various colorful koi that time and again jumping excitedly, spreading crystal clear water around.
This should be a reassuring scene, the cool late-winter breeze blowing in her icy air, the jumping fish, the gentle movements of the mansion workers, even some timid little birds were singing around.
But this didn't seem to reach Tao Kang, who kept his expressionless face, but his heart was anxious and he felt in conflict, even everything being calm around him.
He felt anxious and had a bad feeling, as if something very bad was going to happen, in other words, he felt a sense of crisis.
"Is that bitch around?" Tao Kang thought as he remembered his main wife from his past life when he had a harem.
Tao Kang spent some time reflecting on this sense of crisis in his heart, at the same time he began to remember many things that occurred to him before his rebirth.
Tao Kang is a very poor orphan who was adopted by a friend of his parents, but even so he was still hungry and needy, because this friend of his father is a merchant and traveled a lot, that is, he was under the "care" the wife and the biological children of this man.
Then, Tao Kang, had a very unhappy childhood being practically a servant for the children of that adoptive father and being bruised with the schemes of the jealous wife, who was unleashed in the body of the little boy when her husband betrayed her with women outside the house or even brought a new concubine.
Soon after he turned 12, he ran away from home or rather had to run away from home, when the son of his adoptive father wanted to make him some kind of bed-servant.
Yes, the son of his adoptive father, he wanted to sexually abuse him!
Tao Kang had nothing on his body except his clothes, he was not even a martial cultivator.
Of course, the wife of her foster father would never let him gain any kind of power!
Then he wandered hungrily all over town for a few days begging food and being amazed at the restaurants and even some of the richer children threw food at him, mocking his beggarly condition. But the servants of his foster father's estate found him and wanted to bring him back, so Tao Kang ran out of town, running for his life.
Even after leaving the city, he ran into the Ancient Forest, which is one of the forbidden places of the Shouka Empire, so no one would follow him there, he would be safe for some time.
However, how would an ordinary boy survive in a place that even martial growers could not keep alive?
Well, he really couldn't that.
The child known as Tao Kang died on that autumn day without anyone knowing and on the same day an extremely powerful soul was awakened.
It wasn't that Tao Kang had really died, but when he was attacked by a magical beast who had the level of a martial cultivator Aurore Core, he hit his weak body against one of the ancient trees, well, he was practically dead.
However, in the final moments of his short life, a strange symbol appeared on his body and a very ancient memory, as old as the existence of the primordial-age gods, tore the mind of young, weak Tao Kang, making him faint.
That day the innocent young boy Tao Kang had actually died when he awakened he was the Emperor of Chaos, Tao Keung (1).
Also known as God of Death and Destruction!
