After getting on the bus, Zhao Yanzi sat by the window and ignored Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.
It was the peak time for students to go home. Since Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were a bit late, the seat next to Zhao Yanzi was taken by an excited little boy.
The bus drove slowly, and Zhao Yanzi looked out of the window without saying a word.
Xie Yujia looked a bit embarrassed. She cared about this little girl from all aspects, but Zhao Yanzi didn't appreciate it.
"It was cloudy a few days ago, and it's finally sunny now," Xie Yujia said while looking at the sunset.
Hao Ren nodded. "Yeah."
Hao Ren guessed that she didn't know about the Nine Dragon Palace.
After a few stops, Hao Ren called out to Zhao Yanzi, "Zi, time to change buses!"
Zhao Yanzi stood up stiffly and pouted, showing that she didn't want to reconcile with Hao Ren.
They got off the bus and went to the bus stop outside. The three of them stood together and waited for another bus.
Hao Ren was taller than Xie Yujia, and Xie Yujia was taller than Zhao Yanzi. It was interesting to see the three of them standing in a line.
If it were not for Grandma's insistence to see them, Hao Ren would never have brought them together.
The bus stopped in front of them, and Zhao Yanzi got on first. The moment her right foot stepped on the bus, she thought for a moment and suddenly turned back, pulling Hao Ren up.
Zhao Yanzi dragged him to two empty seats side by side. Just like that, Xie Yujia had to sit alone in the row behind them when they got on the bus.
Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia and felt a bit embarrassed. However, Zhao Yanzi's face was still cold as if she didn't want to talk. She supported her chin with her arm and looked at the outline of the ocean hundreds of meters away. She bit her lip from time to time as if she was clenching her teeth.
Just like that, the bus arrived at the scenic spot by the sea in silence.
It was a long way from here to Hao Ren's sea-view house. Considering that they were girls, Hao Ren thought for a moment and asked, "How about you guys stay here, and I'll walk in and drive out to pick you up?"
After he said that, he suddenly thought, "Will they fight if I leave them here?"
"No need. I'll walk with you," Xie Yujia said.
Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go too!" She had planned to wait here and ask Hao Ren to pick her up, but she had no choice but to follow Xie Yujia's order.
"Alright, let's go then. If you can't walk anymore, just wait here. I'll go in and pick you up, "Hao Ren said.
"Ok." Xie Yujia nodded. It was already evening, and it would be dark soon. If she and Zhao Yanzi waited for Hao Ren on the side of the road, it would be unsafe. Especially since there were very few cars here, there were even fewer people.
She did not expect that even five or six bad guys would not be a match for her if she used the Five Elemental Talisman.
This Five Elemental Talisman was planted in her body by the Soul Formation stage old lady. It grew and multiplied endlessly. The so-called Life-Death Note was to insert the five-elemental notes into someone's body according to the acupoints.
The "Life" Talisman could save people, while the "Death" Talisman could kill enemies. The Five Elemental Talisman in Xie Yujia's hand was the "Life" Talisman that the old lady planted in her Laogong Acupoint, and it could help her absorb nature essence automatically.
The series of explosions that the old lady planted in Hao Ren's body was actually the "Death" Talisman. It was destructive, but it was used skillfully and helped Hao Ren unlock more than ten openings. However, Hao Ren couldn't escape the discomfort in the process. The old lady punished him because she didn't like how he treated Xie Yujia. Otherwise, a small "Death" Talisman would have been enough to kill Hao Ren who hadn't even reached Zhen-level.
Xie Yujia held the "Life" Talisman that the old lady planted in her body, and its effect was no less than that of the Dragon Core in Hao Ren's body. However, the Dragon Core couldn't defeat enemies on its own, while the Life-Death Note combined cultivation and techniques. The old lady only taught Xie Yujia a spell, and the "Life" Talisman in her palm could release great power and become a technique to defeat enemies.
Hearing that they were willing to follow him, Hao Ren didn't dawdle and led the way.
At first, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were walking behind him, but they moved to his sides as time went by.
Half of the sun had sunk into the ocean. The afterglow of the setting sun made the ocean sparkling. The layers of clouds changed unpredictably, from pale gold to deep yellow. The flaming clouds were extremely beautiful.
Under the tranquil setting sun, the shadows of the three of them grew longer. No one spoke, and they walked toward the ocean.
After walking for half an hour, Zhao Yanzi's legs were sore, and she wanted to rest. However, seeing that Xie Yujia was still walking with ease, she gritted her teeth and pretended that nothing was wrong.
It was one thing to like Hao Ren, but it was another to lose to Xie Yujia!
Seeing Zhao Yanzi frowning, Hao Ren slowed down. "Can we wait here for a while? I'll go in and get the car. It will take a while for us to go."
"Ah? How much longer?" Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren, feeling wronged.
"At our current speed, about half an hour," Hao Ren answered.
"Why don't you go in and get the car? I'll stay here with Zi," Xie Yujia said immediately. In fact, she thought it was strange that she didn't feel tired at all after walking for such a long time.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Xie Yujia's kindness. "Forget it. We'll get there soon! I didn't say that I can't walk. I'm just thirsty! "
"Really … okay?" Hao Ren looked at her suspiciously.
He remembered that she wasn't that weak when they were climbing the mountain. Now, her physique was weak, and so was her stamina.
"No problem! You're so annoying! " Zhao Yanzi suddenly yelled, and Hao Ren was so scared that he didn't dare to ask her again. He slowed down and continued walking.
"Hao Ren, why don't you carry her for a while?" Xie Yujia said suddenly.
"Oh?" Hao Ren stopped and turned to look at Zhao Yanzi. "I'll carry you?"
"I don't want you to carry me!" Zhao Yanzi showed her white teeth, looking like a violent little shark.
Hao Ren smiled helplessly and walked a few steps forward. However, he found that Zhao Yanzi didn't follow him.
He turned back and looked at her. He didn't dare to ask any more questions in case she got angry again.
Zhao Yanzi raised her red face and pointed at Xie Yujia. "I want her to carry me."
Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
Xie Yujia also looked at her blankly.
