While taking Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi’s hands, Hao Ren rushed out of the ocean toward his home.
During the process of planting mystic crystal, he didn’t encounter any danger, but he had been extremely cautious as if he were working with the most exquisite instruments. He had felt like he was dismantling a bomb in a limited time, and any mistake would trigger a deadly detonation.
Hao Ren felt as he had played with death, and it was a different feeling compared to the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Heavenly Tribulations were earth-shaking, and they tested the cultivators’ cultivation foundation. However, during the process of planting mystic crystal, everything was quiet, but the cultivators were walking on a thin line at every second.
Without great fortitude and a peaceful mind, one could never plant a mystic crystal. Many cultivators had obtained their mystic crystals after great efforts but failed and died in the process of planting them due to unstable minds.
Out of the ocean, Hao Ren didn’t let go Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia’s hands, cherishing them more after experiencing the boundless danger lurking in the silent process of planting the mystic crystal.
Feeling Hao Ren’s tight grip on her hand, Xie Yujia knew that he had had a difficult night.
Seeing Hao Ren’s clear and determined eyes, Zhao Yanzi gained some understanding of his mind when he faced the deadly danger, and she began to soften inside.
Her Third Uncle had said that those cultivators without a firm belief or a clear mind wouldn’t dare to plant mystic crystals because one distracting thought would turn the mystic crystal in the body into a bomb. This torturous feeling about the imminent danger usually lasted at least more than half a day, which was more than what ordinary cultivators could withstand.
The fact that Hao Ren could plant this mystic crystal showed that he had a firm belief in what he pursued, it allowed him to last until the last moment.
“Hey! Stinky Uncle!” Zhao Yanzi punched on Hao Ren’s chest.
“What’s it?” Hao Ren asked while still clutching her small hand.
While he flew, he was still sensing the cold mystic crystal in his body and was caught off guard when Zhao Yanzi hit him suddenly.
“I… I’ve talked about it with Sister Yujia,” Zhao Yanzi suddenly blushed and said after a few seconds of embarrassment.
“About what?” Hao Ren blinked and asked her.
“About…” Zhao Yanzi bit on her lip. “Ask Sister Yujia!”
“Ah?” Baffled, Hao Ren turned to Xie Yujia on the other side. “What is it?”
To his surprise, Xie Yujia blushed as well. When she saw Zhao Yanzi keep glancing at her, she said, “Zi talked with me. After your wedding in the dragon palace…”
Seeing Hao Ren’s eyes on her, Xie Yujia turned redder. “She will give wedding in the mortal world to me.”
“I see…” Hao Ren’s heart raced.
He hadn’t expected Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia to reach such an agreement.
“You can’t reveal your identity as the Fuma of East Ocean anyway!” Zhao Yanzi lifted her face and shouted while baring her teeth.
Seeing her fierce look, Hao Ren couldn’t help smiling since he knew that she was trying to cover her shyness.
He turned to look at Xie Yujia and saw that her face had turned as red as a ripe apple.
“Pervert!” When Hao Ren showed no objection to their agreement, Zhao Yanzi lifted her fist again and pounded on his chest.
“Hao Ren is the worst!”
Although she knew that the dragon king and dragon elders in the Dragon Tribe all had more than one wife, she got a little angry when she saw Hao Ren’s bright smile.
Hao Ren’s smile got brighter when he saw Zhao Yanzi’s furious look, and he pinched her small nose. Then, he shot out a sword energy, and they landed in front of the house by the sea.
Grandma had been arranging the plants in the garden, and she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Hao Ren and the girls standing outside of the garden.
“How come you’re here in the early morning? Is anything wrong?” Grandma put down the watering jug and opened the small door to the garden while she asked.
“I came back to fetch something, and they insisted on coming with me,” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia glanced at him with disapproval at his lie, but her gaze was still gentle and sweet despite her silent scold.
Zhao Yanzi snorted silently at his blatant lie as well.
“Where are Linlin and Lili?” Grandma continued to ask.
She thought it was natural that Little Zi and Little Yujia came with Hao Ren but was a bit puzzled that the Lu sisters were absent since they had always stayed by Hao Ren’s side.
“They…” Hao Ren’s mind got heavy, and he explained, “They are not used to the life here and had gone to the south. They have an uncle doing business there, and he can take care of them.”
He had fabricated the excuses about the Lu sisters but was surprised that Grandma would be so sensitive to their absence.
“Why? They are gone…” Grandma’s joy turned to sadness instantly
She liked the two talkative girls from the bottom of her heart. Compared with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi, they clung to Grandma more, and they often massaged her and talked to her. They seemed to understand seniors more than Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi did.
When she heard the news that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had left East Ocean City, Grandma suddenly felt empty inside.
“Well… They didn’t even come to see me before they left. Such good girls,” Grandma shook her head with regret.
Perhaps Hao Ren didn’t spend most of his time with them, but Grandma had a deep bond with them since the Lu sisters had stayed with her for most of the weekends.
Seeing Grandma’s sad expression, Hao Ren felt sorry.
In fact, he had wanted Lu Linlin and Lu Lili to stay, but they had made their choice, and he couldn’t force them to say on land for himself and his grandma.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t come to visit Grandma probably because they were afraid of making her sad.
“Where are they now? I’ll call them,” Grandma suddenly lifted her head and asked Hao Ren.
She still couldn’t bear to part with the Lu sisters and wanted to hear their voices.
“This…” Hao Ren hesitated since he hadn’t thought of this detail in a hurry.
“Forget it.” To his surprise, Grandma suddenly changed her mind and waved her hand. “Young girls have their own lives. Since they want to go to the south, I must leave them be.”
Her tone was full of longing for the Lu sisters, but she wasn’t their blood-related grandma and thus couldn’t interfere with their lives.
The deeper the bond was, the more difficult it was to say farewell.
Under the Lu sisters’ meticulous care, Grandma had been glowing these days. However, her face now suddenly dimmed as if she had aged ten years instantly.
She really couldn’t bear to see any of the girls leave.
“If they like Hao Ren, they can stay with him. Alas! It must be Hao Ren’s fault that they left! He must have hurt them!” Grandma suddenly thought about this and glared at Hao Ren, making him retreat three steps in fear.
In fact, Grandma wanted to scold Hao Ren and tell him that she wouldn’t see him again until he brought back the Lu sisters. However, she was afraid that it would hurt the two girls.
“Grandma, you must take care of yourself. I’ll head to school in a while,” Hao Ren said while he helped Grandma into the house.
After planting the mystic crystal, he had come back home to see if Grandma were safe. In his mind, the top priority was his grandma who had raised him from his birth, and the second was the girls and his parents.
“As to Su Han, will she move to another city as well?” Back in the warm house, sensitive Grandma asked again.
“She… won’t,” Hao Ren answered after a moment of hesitation.
Grandma’s intuitive toward the girls was frightening.
“That’s good…” Grandma nodded. “Ask her to visit more often.”
For Grandma, the Lu sisters were heart-warming while Su Han was more mature and gave her a comfortable feeling. Grandma liked her a lot as well.
“How are my mom and dad recently?” Hao Ren asked.
“They are very well! They just left for work! I guess no one will take care of me, an old lady, anymore!” Grandma said in a spurt of anger.
“Grandma! We’re here for you!” Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia hurried over and held her arms, saying almost at the same time.
Seeing their quick response, Grandma’s expression softened. She patted their heads and said, “I have only you girls now.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. Our house will be lively again,” Hao Ren took Grandma’s hand and said.
“Give me some great-grandchildren. That’s what I have been wishing for,” Grandma said.
Hearing Grandma’s words, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia blushed at the same time.
“Ok! I’m fine! Ren, take your stuff and go back to school,” Grandma said.
“Ok!” Hao Ren ran to the second floor, pretending to fetch some stuff. Then, he led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi out of the house and the residential area. When he was sure that they were out of Grandma’s sight, they flew toward East Ocean University.
Half a day later, Su Han would try to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm in the Dragon God Shrine. Hao Ren returned to the school to see if Xu Ke had any unusual movements in the school and gave Zhao Yanzi time to ask for one day of absence from her school.
Duan Yao had mentioned that Xu Ke had a Soul Physique, which alerted Hao Ren. He had always thought that Xu Ke, who stayed in East Ocean University under the arrangement of Taiyi Cave Master, wasn’t as simple as he looked.
Zhao Yanzi would come back to Hao Ren in East Ocean University after asking for absence from school. Now that she was going to marry Hao Ren, she didn’t feel embarrassed to stay with him all the time.
The Heavenly Dao would enter another cycle today, but it was just another autumn day of brilliant sunshine for most of the students and teachers in the university.
Even the young cultivators in the school didn’t feel anything special about today.
Hao Ren was not in the mood to go to the class. To keep him company, Xie Yujia skipped class as well; it was a rare act for her.
The scenery of East Ocean University was wonderful. Lying down on the long bench on the meadow by the lake, Hao Ren looked at the peaceful lake as if he were resting in a park.
Sitting on the long bench, Xie Yujia let Hao Ren rest his head on her thighs and caressed his ears with her fingers.
Hao Ren breathed lightly with his eyes closed, enjoying the feeling when Xie Yujia’s smooth fingers moved around his ears.
Looking at Hao Ren who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Xie Yujia knew that his mind wasn’t so calm.
“Ok! I’ve asked for a day off!” Zhao Yanzi ran over and sat on the long bench while panting.
Seeing Hao Ren resting on Xie Yujia’s thighs, she slapped Hao Ren’s butt and made him sit up immediately.
“Then… Let’s go!” Hao Ren pinched her tender cheek and stood up with a smile.
In the distance, Xu Ke stood behind the trees and watched Hao Ren and Xie Yujia in jealousy.
Hao Ren knew he was there.
