Chapter 141: Touched the Immortal Essence…

The bus slowly began to move. Hao Ren opened the window, and the warm breeze blew in from outside.

Many students inside the bus kept on glancing at them. Now that the two gorgeous girls always followed him around, Hao Ren couldn’t be low key even if he wanted to.

Feeling the warm breeze, Hao Ren took out his cell phone and dialed Zhao Yanzi’s cell phone number.

“Are you at the airport?” Hao Ren asked her.

No matter what, Zhao Yanzi was still his little fiancée in the future. It’s necessary to care about her.

“Still have half an hour until boarding,” Zhao Yanzi replied over the phone.

“The weather forecast said that there’d be light rain in Beijing these two days. It’s a bit chilly. Remember to dress warm,” Hao Ren said.

“Hypocrite!” Zhao Yanzi shouted on the phone. However, she was bored in the waiting lounge, and there wasn’t much to text about with Ling anymore. She felt slightly moved when Hao Ren suddenly called and was concerned about her.

“Fine, I’m being fake,” Hao Ren was a bit helpless, “Are you coming back on Sunday?”

“Um, the plane leaves in the evening.”

“Remember to come back and do your assignments,” Hao Ren said.

“So annoying. Cut it out!” Zhao Yanzi hung up the phone angrily.

“Uh…” Hao Ren put down his cell phone. “What did I say wrong?”

The bus moved up stop by stop. Hao Ren used the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Technique secretly to absorb the five elements.

He absorbed water elements without any obstacles, but it was difficult for him to sense the other elements and absorb them.

The more anxious he was, the more chaotic his mood became. Soon, the five elements mingled around him, and he couldn’t even tell where the water-elements were.

“Gongzi, you can’t be anxious when you cultivate,” Lu Linlin said when she saw Hao Ren frown as if he was obsessed.

Hao Ren opened his eyes and smiled. “This earth element is indeed hard to feel.”

Lu Lili, who was beside him, covered her mouth and laughed, “Gongzi is so simple. To sense the earth element, it obviously will be best to be standing on the ground. You’re sitting on a metal chair and trying to sense the energy of the earth. How could you make progress focusing on the wrong thing?”

That’s it! Hao Ren understood completely. When he cultivated the Spirit Concentration Scroll, he absorbed pure but mixed energy of five elements with more water within. If he wanted to absorb a single elemental essence, he had to go to the specific places to cultivate.

“Gongzi’s amber is a water-elemental accessory. It can help you sense the water element, and that’s why the water element is the most abundant element inside Gongzi’s body,” Lu Lili looked at Hao Ren’s chest and said.

Hao Ren touched the little accessory that Zhao Yanzi gave him and nodded.

“Gongzi, there seems to be a fluctuation of array formation,” Lu Linlin suddenly said.

“Fluctuation of array formation?” Hao Ren was confused.

“Um, it seems like some people are fighting here!” Lu Linlin nodded.

Hao Ren looked in the direction they were pointing but saw nothing.

“Hehe, we forgot that Gongzi isn’t at Kan-level yet.” Lu Linlin grabbed Hao Ren’s palm, and pure energy of the five elements entered into Hao Ren’s body from his arm.

Pa! Hao Ren suddenly felt he had broken through to the Kan-level and his body became light.

His gaze followed the direction that Lu Linlin pointed towards and saw two people inside a dark red sphere in the sky; blue lights could be seen on them.

He couldn’t hear the sounds but could see icy rain flash and a white sword swing inside the dark red sphere. It seemed to be very intense.

“Two juniors of Zhen-level are fooling around,” Lu Lili watched for a while and said.

“Yeah,” Lu Linlin let go of Hao Ren’s palm, “Elder Lu mentioned that in the regulations of the Dragon Tribe, a dark red zone means a practice battle, and a white zone symbolizes a battle of life and death.”

As the pure energy exited, Hao Ren’s head felt dizzy. He looked up again at the sky and saw the blue sky and white clouds and the sunny weather as if everything was normal.

“After a while will be the little Zhumu’s birthday. It seems like some seniors already brought playful juniors and arrived early in East Ocean City,” Lu Lili said.

After they chatted for a while, they suddenly noticed Hao Ren’s confused look. Then, Lu Linlin said in a hurry, “Ah! I’m sorry, Gongzi. I suddenly took away the five elemental essences and forgot that you’re not used to it.”

“It’s fine…” Hao Ren waved. Lu Linlin saying “I forgot that Gongzi isn’t at the Kan-level yet” struck him hard.

After all, he would still be a mortal without reaching the Kan-level. After stepping into the Kan-level, he would really enter the door of cultivation, and the world he sees would be totally different.

“In fact, my younger sister and I can give you the five elemental essences and make Gongzi break through to the Kan Level. However, the realm won’t be stable if you don’t cultivate it on your own,” Lu Linlin said, comfortingly.

“I believe that Gongzi will be very strong in the future!” Lu Lili also said with comfort.

Hao Ren smiled. Having two followers of top-grade Kun-level gave him quite a bit of pressure.

“Gongzi, you actually have your own merits, like English, Advanced Mathematics, university physics, um, you also play basketball too!” Lu Lili said again immediately.

“Alright, alright, you don’t have to comfort me. I’ll work hard in cultivating,” Hao Ren used his hands to block their small mouths and said.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili covered their mouth and smiled sweetly like two flowers.

They didn’t know why they felt happy when they followed Hao Ren around. It might be because of their curiosity or interest. In their minds, Hao Ren had a temperament that was hard to describe. Most of the time he had a gentle character that tolerated everything, but sometimes he had the courage that was sharp enough to cut everything off.

Mortals could also be this interesting.

It was still sunny outside as the bus traveled at a moderate speed.

The bus stopped at the bus stop near the beach resorts in Seafront District.

Hao Ren carried his bag and walked to the small villa near the sea. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili followed Hao Ren under the scorching sun. This part of the road would take half an hour to walk. However, the Lu sisters weren’t as weak as they seemed. Their stamina was better than Hao Ren.

When they arrived at the house, Hao Ren opened the door and didn’t know how to explain things to grandma. All of a sudden, he heard a girl’s voice inside the house.

“Ah?” They were both surprised when they saw each other.

Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia wearing a white apron and was carrying a fish in her hands. Xie Yujia saw Hao Ren carrying his bag home with two beautiful girls.

“Why… are you here?” Hao Ren asked foolishly.

“You’re back, Ren?” Hao Zhonghua walked out of his room when he heard Hao Ren’s voice, “Yujia was a bit drunk yesterday, so she slept over at our house and didn’t go to school today either… Hmm? Who are they?”

“Oh, my classmates, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. The wanted to visit my house,” Hao Ren answered.

“Hello, Uncle!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said sweetly to Hao Zhonghua.

Hao Zhonghua was slightly dazed. Then seeing Xie Yujia was carrying a fish, he said, “Oh, you finished killing the fish? Steam it then. Grandma likes to eat steamed fish.”

“Yes, Uncle.” Xie Yujia nodded, brought the fish and walked into the kitchen without looking at Hao Ren.

She looked like a great wife and wise mother when she tied her hair up and wore an apron.

Yue Yang walked out of the kitchen wearing sleevelets. She saw the two pretty girls standing beside Hao Ren, and her facial expression changed. “Why did you bring more girls back home?”

“Hello, Auntie!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili called Yue Yang sweetly again.

Yue Yang was originally going to pull a face, but seeing them being so polite, she couldn’t be too mean to them as an elder either. Her tone softened. “Nevermind. Since you guys are here, let’s eat together.”

Xie Yujia drank quite a bit of alcohol last night and spoke some gibberish at the end. Yue Yang felt sorry for her and had her stay over. She also made Xie Yujia stayed at her place to comfort her. Who knew Hao Ren would bring two girls home?

Yet, she wasn’t the type of evil mother who would kick guests out of the house. Even though she had some complaints in mind, she didn’t want to show it on the outside.

“Have your classmates sit down. Lunch will be ready soon,” Yue Yang turned after she finished speaking and went to help Xie Yujia in the kitchen.

Xie Yujia was the main cook today and was going to make something delicious. As an elder, Yue Yang was only an assistant.

Hao Ren got snubbed and felt his mind was in a turmoil because he didn’t expect Xie Yujia to be at home. He pointed at the sofa in the living room, “Linlin, Lili, find a place to sit.”

“Yes, Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili nodded and found a spot to sit in the living room.

Hao Ren put down his bag and walked into the smoky kitchen.

Xie Yujia, who wore a white apron, was steaming the fish. Her hair was pulled up, and it revealed her fair skin in the warm kitchen. There were a few drops of sweats by her ears. It was obvious that she had worked very hard and it was a pretty difficult task as well.

She didn’t say anything when she saw Hao Ren squeeze in. She lowered her head to look at the braised pork in another pot. The heat was steaming; her face was red and formed an apparent contrast with her pale white neck.

Hao Ren got snubbed and could only ask Yue Yang, “Mom, did the Class President live at our house yesterday?”

“What Class President, call her Yujia!” Yue Yang scolded him.

“Alright… mom, did Yujia live at our house yesterday?” Hao Ren could only repeat the question.

“Yeah, Uncle Xie and her both slept at our house yesterday. Yujia stayed over in your room, and I slept with your grandma,” Yue Yang said.

“The Class President stayed over in my bedroom…” Hao Ren felt weird.

“Yujia seemed to be a bit drunk yesterday. She felt dizzy this morning, so I didn’t let her go to school,” Yue Yang said. “She said you’re coming back at noon and wanted to make a delicious meal for you…”

“Auntie!” Xie Yujia, who seemed to be concentrating on cooking the braised pork, suddenly interrupted Yue Yang and corrected her, “I’m cooking for you guys, not just for him.”

“Okay okay okay…” Yue Yang nodded continuously and looked at Hao Ren. “Anyhow, why don’t you thank Yujia?”

“Thank you very much class president…” Hao Ren yelled out but halfway through felt it sounded wrong and decided to rephrase it. “Thank you very much Yujia…”

After he finished saying this, he thought it felt slightly awkward again and shut his mouth. Changing from calling her ‘Class President’ to the intimate ‘Yujia’ was something he was still not used to it. Yet, they used to be childhood sweethearts a long time ago. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong addressing her this way either.

Seeing Hao Ren act awkward, Xie Yujia smiled. “Alright, it’s nothing. Just thanking your parents for treating us. There isn’t any special meaning to this.”

When she smiled, she looked like a secretly blooming flower. She wasn’t as beautiful as the Lu sisters, but she was more charming.

“Well… thank you anyway,” Hao Ren backed off and exited the hot kitchen. He found himself sweating all over his forehead and realized cooking wasn’t an easy task.

He returned to the living room and found that grandmother had appeared magically, grabbed the Lu sisters’ hands magically, and was chitchatting with them magically…

Grandma actually won’t say no to anyone… Hao Ren’s sweat fell down. He walked over. “Grandma, they are Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. They came to the beach to play today.”

“Um, I saw them yesterday. Such delicate girls,” grandma smiled and said at the same time.

As she talked, she also pinched their smooth faces as if she was pinching two dolls.

Hao Ren couldn’t stand his grandmother. “As long as they are beautiful girls, she would take them all. What kind of attitude was this…”

The Lu sisters and grandmother seemed to get along well. They could chat about all kinds of strange anecdotes, all sorts of local customs, and all types of legends of the gods and monsters. Hao Ren couldn’t help but admire their knowledge.

“Ren, these two little girls, Linlin and Lili, are so nice. After chatting with them for a while, I feel a lot better,” grandmother stood up and said.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and smiled secretly. When grandmother grabbed their soft hands, they also used the energy of the five elements to adjust grandma’s body and eliminated the remaining illnesses. It would be weird if she still had no energy.

This result was way more effective than Zhao Hongyu’s way of utilizing ingredients, elixirs, and pills.

Not everybody could touch their bodies. If one could touch their hands, it must be a profound fortune. If grandma knew about their identities, in her concept, she would know that she touched the immortal essence.

“You little girls are great and know so much more than little Zi. Visit here often during the weekends from now on,” grandmother looked at them pleasantly and said.

“Sure!” They promised before Hao Ren had a chance to interrupt. Visiting here every weekend to talk to grandma while nursing her body at the same time would count as repaying Hao Ren for saving their lives.

Hao Ren could only sigh when he saw Grandma, Linlin, and Lili smiling at each other. “Whatever, grandma is at this age already. As long as she’s happy, she can do whatever she wants.”

“Lunch time!” Yue Yang carried the dishes out from the kitchen.

Xie Yujia also followed her from the kitchen. She already took off the apron and let her hair down. This made her look tranquil and gentle.

“Come come come, Yujia, come and sit beside me!” grandma waved at Yujia as an act of intimacy.

The table was set with lots of dishes, and every single one seemed to be delicious in its color, flavor, and taste. It was obvious Xie Yujia put lots of effort into cooking this lunch.

Hao Ren didn’t expect that the normally hard-working Xie Yujia, who also studied when she was at home, would be so good at cooking. At a young age, her cooking skills were on par with Zhao Hongyu’s.

Xie Ming and Hao Zhonghua, who were talking about national affairs, came to the living room when they smelled the aroma. Hao Zhonghua laughed brightly. “Haha, Yujia is our big hero today!”

“Uncle! It’s what I should do!” Xie Yujia smiled refreshingly and elegantly.

“Would you stay with us this weekend, Yujia?” Grandmother asked in a tone of inquiry. In grandmother’s mind, Yujia was pretty, considerate, and also cooked well. Her personality was also gentle and was an excellent candidate for granddaughter-in-law.

However, she also had little Zi in mind. That’s why she was indecisive.

“There’s no need. I’ll be heading back after lunch,” Xie Yujia glanced at Hao Ren, glanced again at the two “unexpected guest”, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, and said.

” I have turned my heart to the moon, but the moon shines upon the ditch 1 .”
