On the boat, Hao Ren took the four of them back to East Ocean City.
They cultivated in Ethereal Summit until nightfall, but Zhen Congming didn't show up, which meant that he had successfully spent the night at Wu Luoxue's home.
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were at a meeting in the province, and no one could take care of him. That was why he stayed at Wu Luoxue's home temporarily.
They didn't know that the masters were coming to Ethereal Summit one after another. The boat flew through the clouds and landed in front of Zhao Yanzi's home.
Bang! Hao Ren broke the energy sphere, put away the boat, and escorted Zhao Yanzi into her home.
Zhao Guang was reading the newspaper in the living room while Zhao Hongyu was drawing a design on the dining table.
"You're back?" Zhao Hongyu asked with a smile when she saw Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi, who had a long face, couldn't help but run to Zhao Hongyu when she saw her parents. "Mom!"
She threw herself into Zhao Hongyu's soft arms while tears flowed down her cheeks.
The trip to Fifth Heaven was so dangerous that she thought she wouldn't be able to see her parents again. Now that she saw her beautiful mom, all the fear and grievances in her heart were released.
If she didn't have a grudge against Duan Yao, she wouldn't have gotten into such a big mess. She felt so guilty for dragging so many people into it.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go out to play?" Zhao Hongyu patted Zhao Yanzi's head in confusion when she saw her crying.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzi wasn't home, she knew that Zhao Yanzi must have snuck out to see Hao Ren. Zhao Hongyu was worried that Zhao Yanzi wasn't studying in Grade Nine, but it was a good thing that Zhao Yanzi was getting closer to Hao Ren.
"Yeah, I went out to play." Zhao Yanzi raised her head and sniffed her red nose. Her tears were like automatic valves that slowly shut off.
"Why did you cry when you went out to play?" Zhao Hongyu pinched the tip of her nose helplessly.
"No … I … missed you!" Zhao Yanzi tried to cover it up.
She didn't want to tell her parents about what happened on Fifth Heaven since it was her little secret.
Zhao Hongyu touched her forehead and turned to look at Hao Ren and the others in the living room. "Where did you go?"
"We went to the mountains." Hao Ren knew that Zhao Yanzi wasn't telling the truth, so he had to cover it up for her.
"You're in the third year of middle school. You have to study hard," Zhao Guang said.
"Oh …" Zhao Yanzi responded reluctantly and walked to the stairs gloomily.
She had a lot of homework to do during her stay on Fifth Heaven for two days.
"How about you guys? Do you want to stay here tonight?" Zhao Hongyu looked at them and asked gently.
"I won't be staying." Hao Ren looked at Yujia and said, "Yujia, why don't you stay and keep Zi company?"
"Ugh?" Xie Yujia looked at him in surprise.
"Ok, Yujia can stay here," Zhao Hongyu said cheerfully. She asked Zhao Yanzi to invite Xie Yujia to their home for dinner last time, but Zhao Yanzi didn't invite her on purpose.
"Ok …" Xie Yujia nodded and agreed to Zhao Hongyu's invitation.
After this incident, her relationship with Zhao Yanzi seemed to have improved a little.
"Zi, what do you think?" Zhao Hongyu asked for Zhao Yanzi's opinion.
Zhao Yanzi thought for a moment and answered softly, "Ok."
"Great. I want her to help me with my homework," Zhao Yanzi added immediately.
"Ok!" Xie Yujia agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Hongyu smiled happily and suddenly felt that Zhao Yanzi had matured a bit. Whether it was in school or in life, fighting for something didn't mean rejecting something that wasn't good for you. Instead, you had to show your advantages.
Xie Yujia was gentle and kind, but she was tough and wouldn't give up easily. On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi was stubborn and wouldn't give up easily.
"That's the best way to compete in cooperation."
Zhao Hongyu thought to herself as she watched them walk up the stairs one after the other. If she had a daughter like Xie Yujia, she would like them very much. Therefore, she loved both of them as if they were her own daughters.
"Auntie, I'll go back now," Hao Ren said.
"Ok. Be careful on your way back," Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.
Xie Yujia was staying at her place tonight, and it seemed that she would sleep in the same room as Zhao Yanzi. It was a great opportunity to repair their relationship, and Zhao Hongyu didn't want Hao Ren, the unstable factor, to stay here.
Zhao Hongyu began to think that two girls who were competing with each other in the same room would be jealous of each other. Zhao Hongyu thought about lending her loose pajamas to Xie Yujia so that Zhao Yanzi wouldn't feel inferior about certain things.
"Ren, come for dinner when you have time," Zhao Guang said politely.
He wasn't as meticulous as Zhao Hongyu, and he didn't think about what would happen if Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi lived together. He just vaguely felt that Hao Ren's realm seemed to have gotten stronger.
"Ok. Bye, Auntie and Uncle!"
Hao Ren stepped on the golden boat and flew into the high sky with the Lu sisters.
Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang watched Hao Ren's golden boat disappear into the high sky through the door. They looked at each other in surprise.
The speed of Hao Ren's growth was beyond their imagination.
"Gongzi, the moon is so round today." Standing at the bow of the boat, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said with a smile while holding Hao Ren's arms.
Hao Ren looked up at the moon and thought, "Indeed, the moon is round, and it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Grandma should be back by now … "
The golden boat flew majestically in the high sky above the city.
High up in the sky was the round silver plate. When the boat passed through the moon, it was a crescent moon and a full moon.
"I'm so happy …" Standing at the bow of the boat and enjoying the night sky, the Lu sisters held Hao Ren's arms tightly.
When Hao Ren got home, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang weren't home. The house was quiet, and even Zhen Congming wasn't home.
After breaking through to top-tier Gen-level, Hao Ren hadn't completely consolidated his foundation. That night, he planned to use three foundation establishment pills to consolidate his foundation and three ascension pills to increase his realm to nourish his dragon core for a while.
The moonlight shone into the room through the window. The weather was neither hot nor cold, and it was very quiet. It was a good time to cultivate.
The sword energies scattered into the high sky, absorbing the essence of nature bit by bit. After circulating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll 18 times, Hao Ren took a foundation establishment pill and ascension pill to strengthen his meridians.
Gradually, a faint fragrance wafted in the room.
After taking the third foundation establishment pill and the third ascension pill, Hao Ren couldn't help but feel sleepy. Even his cultivation technique couldn't resist the fatigue from the fierce battles on Fifth Heaven.
A few seconds before he fell asleep, Hao Ren heard Lu Linlin and Lu Lili talking in a low voice.
"Silly sister, the Poison Pill Plan can only be used before Gongzi reaches Dui-level …"
"I'm just worried that Gongzi won't be happy …"
Plop!
Hao Ren, who was cultivating, fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili lying on his left and right sides.
They were both wearing checkered pajamas, and their four little hands were holding onto his arms. They were lying on their sides, facing his shoulder.
The fragrance filled his nostrils.
The sea breeze from the outside blew into the room.
Hao Ren wanted to get up, but he felt weak all over.
He tried to circulate the nature essence in his body, but he found that his meridians were empty!
There wasn't a trace of nature essence in them!
If the essence-locking note sealed the nature essence, then Hao Ren felt like he had no nature essence at all!
In one night, he had returned to the state of a mortal!
If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili weren't lying beside him, Hao Ren would have thought that it was a dream!
"Gongzi …"
Feeling Hao Ren's body move, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili woke up at the same time. They leaned against Hao Ren from both sides, feeling warm and soft.
Hao Ren looked at them and remembered that they went home on the treasure boat last night and felt something was wrong. Pulling his arms out of their hands, Hao Ren looked at them and asked, "What happened?"
The warm feeling made Hao Ren's heart race, but he was more concerned about his cultivation! The cultivation strength that he had worked so hard to cultivate disappeared in one night. If he couldn't cultivate again, what would Zhao Yanzi do?
"Gongzi, don't blame Linlin and Lili …" Lu Linlin pouted.
"What happened?" Hao Ren frowned and asked them again.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili liked to fool around sometimes, but they had never done anything out of line. However, this time, it was not a small matter to drain all of their nature essence!
"Don't worry, Gongzi …" Lu Lili blushed and wanted to explain. However, she was slow and couldn't explain herself.
"It was my idea, and it had nothing to do with my sister," Lu Linlin said as she propped up half of her body with her hands.
Her face was red. Although she was more aggressive than Lu Lili, she was still worried that Hao Ren would get angry.
"Gongzi, it's like this …" Lu Lili got up immediately as well. "While you were asleep, my sister and I used a secret technique that could greatly improve your physique."
Hao Ren stared at her and waited for her to continue.
Lu Lili's face turned even redder. When she saw Hao Ren's gaze, she felt a bit wronged. "The side effect of this secret technique is that you will temporarily lose cultivation strength for one week. However, after one week, your cultivation strength will be restored, and your physique will be greatly improved. You will become half an Immortal Physique."
"Immortal Physique?" Hao Ren stared at her and asked directly.
Lu Lili looked a bit embarrassed by Hao Ren's question, and she nodded in a hurry. "Gongzi's cultivation progress is amazing. If you break through to Dui-level, you can't use this secret technique anymore. The so-called Immortal Physique, um … is the physique that my sister and I have; it's the real physique for cultivation."
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and her face turned red. "I can't explain it anyway!"
Hao Ren looked at them and thought, "If they aren't lying, then they meant well." In fact, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were very busy that night. The so-called 'Poison Pill' was made by using their internal cores to force out a part of their physique and form a small internal core.
Just like the internal cores between demon cultivators, they each held the small internal core in their mouth and nourished it with the purest nature essence. Then, one of them would feed it directly into Hao Ren's mouth.
In the early morning, they even gave each other some leeway as to who would feed Hao Ren.
After that, they were so tired that they fell asleep. Their realms had dropped from low-tier Qian-level to mid-tier Kun-level.
In order to use the Poison Pill Plan, they had to be above Qian-level, and Hao Ren had to be below Dui-level. That was why they cultivated so hard for Hao Ren! They were catching up with Hao Ren's progress! With Hao Ren's cultivation speed, he might break through to Dui-level in one week!
Seeing Hao Ren's astonished expression, they smiled.
"I love Gongzi!"
Kiss! Kiss!
They kissed Hao Ren from both sides.
They hoped that they could stay by Hao Ren's side forever!
