Holding Xie Yujia's hand, Hao Ren rushed out of the ocean and flew directly toward the house by the sea.
He basically did not encounter any danger when he refined the Mystic Crystal this time, but the process was even more cautious than operating the most delicate instrument. It felt like he was dismantling a mine in a limited time. If he made one wrong move, or if his fingers shook a little, the bomb would be detonated.
That was why Hao Ren felt like he was walking on the line between life and death, which was different from passing the Heavenly Tribulation.
The process of passing the Heavenly Tribulation was intense, and it depended on the cultivator's bottom line. However, the process of refining the mystic crystal was quiet, but it was extremely dangerous.
Without a strong will and a calm mind, the mystic crystal couldn't be refined no matter what. Many cultivators tried hard to find the mystic crystal, but they failed and died in the process because their minds weren't stable enough.
At this moment, Hao Ren held Zhao Yanzi's hand with his left hand and Xie Yujia's hand with his right. He didn't let go of their hands even when they rushed out of the ocean. Only those who had experienced the hidden and endless dangers of refining the mystic crystal would know how to cherish it.
Feeling Hao Ren's firm grip on her hand, Xie Yujia knew that Hao Ren didn't have an easy night.
Seeing the clarity and firmness in Hao Ren's eyes, Zhao Yanzi could feel Hao Ren's determination in the face of death, and her heart softened a bit.
Her Third Uncle once said that cultivators with weak wills or too many distracting thoughts didn't dare to refine the mystic crystal. It was because one wrong thought could turn the mystic crystal into a 'bomb' in their body. This kind of torture where one could collapse at any time would take at least half a day, and ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The fact that Hao Ren could refine the mystic crystal proved that he had something he was pursuing, and he was very determined. It was this kind of determination that kept him going until the end.
"Hey! Stinky Uncle! "Zhao Yanzi punched Hao Ren's chest.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren held her little hand and asked.
He was still sensing the cold mystic crystal in his body while he flew, and he didn't expect Zhao Yanzi to suddenly hit him.
"I … I discussed it with Sister Yujia," Zhao Yanzi suddenly blushed, and she said after a few seconds of shyness.
"About what?" Hao Ren blinked and asked her.
"Discuss …" Zhao Yanzi bit her lip. "Ask Sister Yujia!"
"Ah?" Hao Ren turned to Xie Yujia, puzzled. "What is it?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Yujia blushed as well. When she saw Zhao Yanzi winking at her, she said, "Zi wants you to marry her in the dragon palace …"
Seeing Hao Ren staring at her, she blushed even more. "If it's in the city, she'll give it to me."
"I see …" Hao Ren's heart was pounding.
He didn't expect Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia to reach such an agreement.
"Your identity as the Fuma of the Dragon Palace can't be made public anyway!" Zhao Yanzi suddenly showed her teeth, raised her head, and shouted at Hao Ren.
Seeing her fierce look, Hao Ren knew that she was yelling to cover up her shyness. He couldn't help but laugh.
He turned to look at Xie Yujia and saw that her face was as red as a ripe apple.
"Bastard!" Seeing that Hao Ren had acquiesced to their agreement, Zhao Yanzi raised her small fist and punched Hao Ren's chest.
Hao Ren was actually the worst!
Although she knew that the elders in the dragon palace all had multiple wives, she knew that Hao Ren must be very happy when she saw Hao Ren's smile!
Seeing Zhao Yanzi's' exasperated 'look, Hao Ren smiled even more. He reached out and pinched her little nose. Then, he shot out a sword energy and landed in front of the small house by the sea.
Grandma was playing with the flowers in the garden. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Hao Ren and the others standing outside the garden. She was pleasantly surprised.
"Why are you here so early in the morning? What happened?" Grandma put down the watering kettle and opened the small gate of the garden.
"I came back to get something, but they insisted on coming back with me," Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia glanced at Hao Ren unhappily, thinking, "You can't lie like this." Her eyes twinkled, but there was sweet blame in them.
Zhao Yanzi also spat on him secretly, thinking, "You're so smug."
"Linlin and Lili, where are the two little girls?" Grandma asked.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zi and Yujia following Hao Ren. Instead, she thought it was strange that the Lu sisters, who usually followed Hao Ren, didn't come with them.
"They …" Hao Ren's heart sank. He continued, "They can't adapt to the life here, so they went to the south. They have an uncle who does business there, and he can take better care of them."
Hao Ren had already thought of what he would say about the Lu sisters, but he didn't expect Grandma to be so sensitive and ask immediately when the Lu sisters didn't come with them.
"Why did they leave so soon … Sigh …" Grandma's happy face suddenly turned sad.
She liked the two talkative little girls from the bottom of her heart. Compared with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi, the two girls liked to pester Grandma more at home. They often massaged her back and legs, talked to her, and they seemed to understand old people very well. Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi couldn't do that.
When Grandma heard that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had left East Ocean City, she felt empty inside.
"Sigh … They didn't even come to see me before they left. They are such good kids. "Grandma shook her head pitifully.
Hao Ren didn't have a deep relationship with them, but Grandma definitely had a deep relationship with them. She spent most of her time with them every weekend.
Hao Ren felt bad when he saw Grandma's sad expression.
In fact, he wanted to ask the two girls to stay, but they had their own choices. Hao Ren couldn't force them to stay on land for himself and Grandma.
The two girls didn't come to visit Grandma probably because they didn't want her to be sad and afraid that she would ask them to stay.
"Where are they? I'll call them," Grandma suddenly looked up and asked Hao Ren.
She still missed the Lu sisters and wanted to hear their voices again.
"Um …" Hao Ren hesitated since he didn't think of this question in a hurry.
"Forget it." Grandma suddenly changed her mind and waved her hand. "The little girls have their own places to go. Since they are going to the south, let them go in peace."
Her eyes and words were filled with concern for the Lu sisters, but she wasn't their biological grandmother after all. How could she interfere with their lives?
The deeper the relationship, the harder it was to say goodbye.
After the Lu sisters' careful treatment, Grandma's face, which was always glowing with health, suddenly dimmed as if she had aged ten years in an instant.
She really didn't want the girls to leave.
If they liked Hao Ren, they could stay with him. "Sigh! It's Hao Ren's fault for not being able to keep them! He must have hurt their feelings! "
Grandma suddenly looked at Hao Ren angrily, and Hao Ren took three steps back in fear.
In fact, Grandma wanted to scold Hao Ren and tell him not to see her again if he didn't get the Lu sisters back. However, she was worried that Hao Ren would hurt their feelings if he got them back.
"Grandma, you must take care of yourself. I'll go to school in a bit," Hao Ren said as he helped Grandma into the house.
He had come back to see if Grandma was safe after he absorbed the mystic crystal. In his heart, Grandma, who had raised him since he was a child, came first, followed by Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, and his parents …
"Will Su Han move to another city as well?" Grandma asked sensitively when they were back in the warm house.
"She … won't," Hao Ren said after a moment of hesitation.
Grandma's intuition about girls was horrifying.
"That's good …" Grandma nodded. "Let her come to our house more often."
The Lu sisters were very considerate to Grandma, and Su Han was more mature. She made Grandma feel comfortable when she talked and did things, and Grandma liked her.
"How are Dad and Mom these days?" Hao Ren asked.
"They are fine! They just went to work! I don't think anyone will take care of me in the future! "Grandma said angrily.
"Grandma, we will take care of you!" Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia immediately took Grandma's arms and said almost at the same time.
Seeing their quick reactions, Grandma was pleased. She patted their heads and said, "You two girls are the only ones left."
"Grandma, don't worry. Our house will be lively again," Hao Ren said while holding Grandma's hand.
"Have a baby soon. I'm looking forward to it," Grandma said.
Hearing Grandma's words, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia blushed at the same time.
"Ok, Grandma is fine. Ren, go back to school after you get the stuff," Grandma said.
"Ok!" Hao Ren ran to the room on the second floor and pretended to get the stuff. Then, he led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi out of the house and out of the house. After making sure that Grandma couldn't see them, they flew toward East Ocean University.
In half a day, Su Han would ascend to the Heavenly Dragon Realm from the Dragon God Shrine. Hao Ren returned to school to see if Xu Ke had made any moves and asked Zhao Yanzi to ask for a day off from school.
Duan Yao said that Xu Ke was a 'soul', which caught Hao Ren's attention. He had a feeling that Xu Ke, who was planted by Taiyi Cave Master in East Ocean University, was not as simple as he looked.
Zhao Yanzi asked for a day off from school and came to East Ocean University to see Hao Ren. She was ready to marry Hao Ren, so she didn't have any psychological burden when she stayed with Hao Ren.
The Heavenly Dao was going to rotate today, but for most of the teachers and students in the university, it was just an ordinary day in the autumn.
Even the young cultivators in the university didn't think that there was anything special today.
Hao Ren wasn't in the mood to go to class, and Xie Yujia skipped class to keep him company.
In fact, the scenery of East Ocean University was great. Lying on the bench beside the lake, Hao Ren looked at the calm lake as if he were resting in a park.
Xie Yujia sat on the bench and let Hao Ren rest his head on her long legs. She gently pinched Hao Ren's earlobe with her fingers.
Hao Ren breathed lightly and closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Xie Yujia's smooth fingers moving around his ear.
The fierce tiger in his heart smelled the rose.
Looking at Hao Ren who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Xie Yujia knew that his mind wasn't calm.
"Ok, the leave is over!" Zhao Yanzi ran over and sat on the bench while panting.
Seeing Hao Ren leaning on Xie Yujia's legs, she punched Hao Ren's butt hard, making him sit up immediately.
"Then … let's go!" Hao Ren pinched her soft cheeks and stood up with a smile.
In the distance, Xu Ke stood behind a tree and looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia with jealousy.
Hao Ren actually knew.
