When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia arrived at Zhao Yanzi's home, Zhao Hongyu was cooking.
"You're early." Zhao Hongyu wiped her apron and went to open the door.
"I don't have class in the afternoon, so I came early. I hope I'm not disturbing you." Xie Yujia stepped into the house carefully.
"You don't have to buy me a gift. You just came for dinner," Zhao Hongyu said politely when she saw Xie Yujia put the gift on the floor.
"It's nothing," Xie Yujia answered with a smile.
She was indeed more thoughtful than Hao Ren. Hao Ren had been to Zhao Yanzi's home many times, but he had never thought of buying anything for her parents.
"Zi isn't back yet. I think it will be a while. You guys go find some books to read, "Zhao Hongyu said.
"Let me help, Auntie!" Xie Yujia volunteered.
"It's okay. I'll just make some side dishes," Zhao Hongyu said and immediately went into the kitchen.
"Zi's mom seems to be very good at cooking," Xie Yujia looked at the kitchen and said softly.
Hao Ren smiled and thought, "Zi's mom is one of the top architects in China and is ranked in the world. How can she just cook?"
Xie Yujia sat on the sofa and took the opportunity to check out the interior of the house. The area of the house was not big, but the decoration was very stylish, especially the three-dimensional sense of space.
Turquoise tablecloths, elegant linen curtains, fresh bouquets … Every detail gave people a refreshing feeling. Here, one could feel the natural return of the soul and the joy and relaxation of returning home.
"Such a smart and elegant woman …" Xie Yujia suddenly admired Zhao Hongyu's realm.
Pa!
Zhao Yanzi opened the door and entered the house in her sky-blue school uniform.
She was surprised to see Hao Ren and Xie Yujia sitting on the sofa in the living room. Then, she yelled toward the kitchen, "Mom! What's going on? "
"I asked Yujia to come over for dinner!" Zhao Hongyu walked out with plates in her hands.
Zhao Yanzi's expression immediately turned unhappy.
"Yujia, Ren, wash your hands and eat. Zi's dad won't be back for dinner tonight, "Zhao Hongyu ignored Zhao Yanzi's dissatisfaction and yelled at Xie Yujia and Hao Ren.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie," Xie Yujia said to Zhao Hongyu and went to the kitchen nearby to wash her hands.
Zhao Hongyu looked at her and thought that if Zhao Yanzi could be half as polite as this girl, she would have less to worry about. Hao Ren was good-tempered and spoiled Zi.
After washing her hands, Xie Yujia came back and sat up straight. Zhao Yanzi rushed to wash her hands before Hao Ren. She rolled her eyes at Hao Ren and even bumped him with her body.
When they returned to the dining table, Zhao Hongyu picked up the chopsticks and opened her palm to Xie Yujia as a host. "This is your first time here. Please help yourself."
"Humph! Do you want a second time? "Zhao Yanzi murmured.
"Zi!" Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but scold her softly.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and picked up the chopsticks.
Xie Yujia smiled awkwardly. "Thank you, Auntie."
Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly and looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia who were sitting on opposite sides of the table. She had to admit that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were quite compatible.
In comparison, Zhao Yanzi who was full of temper was not as pleasant as Xie Yujia.
Zhao Hongyu picked up the remote control, and soft music began to play in the living room and the small dining room, easing the awkward atmosphere.
"Yujia, how long have you been in the Qi Refinement Realm?" Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked Xie Yujia after a few minutes.
"Ah … about a week or two," Xie Yujia looked up at Zhao Hongyu and answered.
"It seems like you are already at level 3 of the Qi Refinement Realm. Your speed is not bad," Zhao Hongyu said.
"I'm not good at it. It was Hao Ren who taught me," Xie Yujia said with a slight smile.
"Such a comfortable girl …" Zhao Hongyu exclaimed in her mind and asked, "Are you busy with your studies?"
"Not too bad. I read books and go to the library, and the days pass by," Xie Yujia answered.
"If …" Zhao Hongyu suddenly slowed down her tone, "If Zi learns from you, will you have time?"
"Ugh?" Xie Yujia was a bit surprised. "You mean … tutoring?"
"Mom! I don't want to learn from her! "Zhao Yanzi yelled.
"Not tutoring." Zhao Hongyu continued to look at Xie Yujia with her crescent eyes. "I'm talking about cultivation."
"Cultivation?" Xie Yujia was even more surprised. She immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm terrible at it myself …"
Hao Ren was also surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Hongyu to ask Xie Yujia to come over to discuss this.
It seemed like Zhao Guang didn't come back not because he had something to do, but because he wanted to give them a soft space to talk.
"Hao Ren is on a higher level than me. Why doesn't Auntie let Hao Ren teach Zi?" Xie Yujia blushed when she saw Zhao Hongyu staring at her. She immediately changed the topic to Hao Ren.
"Hehe, for some reasons, Zi can't cultivate like Hao Ren." Zhao Hongyu paused and continued, "Your master is willing to take Zi as her unofficial disciple, but she still needs your guidance on cultivation."
"Old Grandma and Zhao Hongyu have met before?" Hao Ren was even more surprised.
"Zi used to be on Zhen-level. However, due to an accident, her cultivation strength was destroyed, and her physique is getting weaker and weaker. That's what I'm worried about," Zhao Hongyu spoke out her concern.
It was very dangerous for dragon cultivators to lose their Dragon Cores. Adult dragon cultivators wouldn't lose their Dragon Cores easily, but they would die if their Dragon Cores were taken. Zhao Yanzi was still growing, so she could live for a few more years even if she lost her Dragon Core. However, as a member of the Dragon Tribe, without the support of the Dragon Core, her body would get weaker and weaker.
Zhao Yanzi had never gotten sick before, but she caught a cold a while ago. Although she was stubborn, she did need protection.
Old Grandma's visit suddenly pointed out a bright path for Zhao Hongyu. She couldn't create a dragon core out of thin air, and she couldn't solve Zhao Yanzi's crisis in three years. However, she suggested that without the dragon core, Zhao Yanzi could temporarily absorb and condense nature essence according to the human cultivators' cultivation methods to strengthen her physique and even use cultivation techniques.
Zhao Hongyu's eyes lit up. Zhao Yanzi's body was getting weaker and weaker, and even the elixirs from the Dragon Palace couldn't help her. However, cultivating human cultivation techniques could at least keep Zhao Yanzi healthy for the next three years.
Moreover, Zhao Yanzi's physique was the so-called Heavenly Spiritual Body, which was the orthodox body of a dragon. Compared with mortals, her physique was much better.
