Chapter 216: Zi Could Blush too?

Hao Ren’s sword energy shot at the little bottle on top of the second row as he spoke.

Although there were thin layers of array formations outside of the cells, they weren’t strong since they were only there to separate the bottles. Hao Ren’s sword energy went through the layers and knocked onto the little bottles, making them shake and fall off the cells.

Zhao Yanzi patted Little White’s rump and urged, “Go catch it, Little White!”

Little White ran toward the bottles as Zhao Yanzi reached out to catch them. She was the main player on her volleyball team, so she was good at catching.

“The third row on the left!” Hao Ren said as he shot another sword energy.

Zhao Yanzi hastily opened her arms to the side. Little White understood what she wanted and moved over a few steps.

“The sixth row on the left!” Hao Ren shouted again.

Little White ran over with Zhao Yanzi on its back. Zhao Yanzi caught the bottle again and put it in her arms.

“The fifth row on the right!”

“The eighth row on the right!”

“The fourth row on the left!”

Hao Ren kept shouting, and Zhao Yanzi dashed everywhere on Little White as if they were fighting a fire.

Hao Ren didn’t mean to tire Zhao Yanzi. He found that he couldn’t fully apply his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in this branch palace. There seemed to be a ton of resistant force. He only knew where the sword energy was heading until he made the shot.

Zhao Yanzi moved left and right on Little White, and it almost looked like the mini gold coin catching game in the computer game, Richman. Zhao Yanzi looked nervous and excited at the same time as she screamed time to time. She looked exactly like the character Sun Xiaomei in Richman.

Little White was exhausted; it ran around the palace with its tongue sticking out.

“Hold the bottles tight and don’t drop them!” Hao Ren reminded Zhao Yanzi.

“I know! I know! So annoying!” Zhao Yanzi was busy catching the dropping bottles, and she already had a dozen bottles of different colors in her arms. There was a hint of greed on her face.

Boom!

The entire palace turned pitch black all of a sudden!

They sensed the ground shaking.

Hao Ren ran toward Zhao Yanzi’s direction in the dark. He felt Little White’s smooth, fluffy body, and then he grabbed Zhao Yanzi’s arm.

“Uncle! Did we die?” Zhao Yanzi immediately became nervous.

“Nonsense! This space is not stable, so we might be kicked out at any time,” Hao Ren’s hand moved up along her arm.

“Where are you touching!” Zhao Yanzi suddenly screamed.

“Hand those bottles to me so we won’t drop them when we get kicked out,” Hao Ren said.

Zhao Yanzi stuffed over 20 bottles into his arm, and he sucked them all into the space in his necklace.

“Come in, Little White!” Hao Ren patted Little White.

Shoo! It shrank into the size of two palms and crawled into Hao Ren’s necklace.

Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren both felt a little dizzy. Zhao Yanzi curled up in Hao Ren’s arms from being scared, and Hao Ren put one of his arms around her waist and the other one around her head.

Boom…They suddenly fainted. When they slowly came back to their senses, they were already back on the meadow outside of the Nine Dragon Palace where they first began. Zhao Hongyu was looking at them with a smile.

Zhao Yanzi got embarrassed when realizing that she was in Hao Ren’s arms. She immediately stood up and hit Hao Ren’s chest with her fist.

They looked around and found that Zeng Yitao and his servant, the couple from South Ocean, the brother and sister from North Ocean had all come out already.

Zeng Yitao held an ancient-looking black flute, South Ocean’s couple got a black rope and a short black dagger, and the brother and sister from North Ocean got an ugly-looking copper mirror and a wicked-looking staff.

Only Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi came out empty handed as if they didn’t get anything.

“Hehe, so this is the new generation of East Ocean? It seems like East Ocean had been training some great talents!” Oldman Zeng said to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu ignored him coldly. In her opinion, it was worth it since Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi protected and cared about each other during this trip; it could help them bond deeper. She didn’t expect them to get anything at all.

However, she kept quiet and didn’t speak her thoughts.

Although the elders from South Ocean and North Ocean said that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were still young with a lot of prospects, they secretly looked down at East Ocean.

Hao Ren noticed Zeng Yitao’s stare, but he didn’t mention anything about the Natal Dharma Treasure on purpose. In order to save his own face, Zeng Yitao didn’t tell anyone, not even his grandma, that his Coil Dragon Golden Spear had been taken away by Hao Ren. However, he was thinking of a way to get his Natal Dharma Treasure back.

It seemed like the flute they got was worth West Ocean this trip. However, since Hao Ren took Zeng Yitao’s Natal Dharma Treasure away, this Crown Prince of West Ocean couldn’t be that arrogant anymore!

On the one hand, if the Natal Dharma Treasures were even a little-damaged while in other people’s hands, the owner would suffer damage to his or her mind and spirit. On the other hand, it was embarrassing that one’s Natal Dharma Treasure was taken by a low-leveled cultivator.

If it weren’t for Hao Ren’s interference, West Ocean could have gotten three treasures.

The representatives of Four Ocean Dragon Palaces said goodbye to each other.

“Goodbye, Mrs. Zhao!” The elders of the South Ocean and North Ocean left with the young cultivators.

Oldman Zeng glimpsed at Zhao Yanzi and then at Zhao Hongyu. He snorted and summoned a jade plate. Then, he pulled Zeng Yitao and the servant onto it and left.

The other three Dragon Palaces all had gotten treasures from the Nine Dragon Palace, so they were all in a rush to get back and learn to use them.

“Let’s go.” Zhao Hongyu slightly nudged Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.

Although this trip was an extra practice and was earlier than they anticipated, she still felt embarrassed about Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi not getting anything.

They stepped onto Zhao Hongyu’s River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and headed toward the clouds.

That magnificent Nine Dragon Palace, which looked like a long lost ancient city, had already disappeared.

It would take a while for them to get to First Heaven from Fifth Heaven.

Zhao Hongyu focused on steering the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting as Zhao Yanzi stood behind her, looking worried. She thought for a bit and asked at last, “Hey… Did you… Touch anything just now?”

“Touch what?” Hao Ren was confused.

“I mean…” Zhao Yanzi pouted and said lightly, “When we got out of Nine Dragon Palace.”

Hao Ren looked at her and thought for a bit as his eyes slowly moved from her arms up… Zhao Yanzi immediately blushed. “Forget it! You don’t remember anyway!”

Hao Ren looked down at his palm and thought to himself, “I forgot earlier… But now that you mention it…”

“What are you thinking! You touched my neck just now!” Zhao Yanzi dashed over and pinched Hao Ren’s neck all of a sudden.

Hao Ren yelled. It was as hard to see if she was telling the truth or not since she was too emotional.

“Quit it, you guys! Or you would fall off,” Zhao Hongyu turned to them.

Zhao Yanzi finally let go of Hao Ren’s neck reluctantly with her face blushing.

Hao Ren stretched his neck a bit and didn’t feel any pain. Instead, he felt a little comfortable after being pinched by her soft hands… Zhao Hongyu shrugged at them, but a hint of a smile was on her face.

Although they came back empty-handed, East Ocean got threatened by the other three Dragon Palaces, and the other Dragon Palaces all benefited from this… If the news of Zhao Kuo’s Heavenly Tribulation failure got released, the opening of the Nine Dragon Palace would give East Ocean a lot of pressure…

As long as Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi had made improvements, practiced their skills, and bonded from this, everything would be worthwhile.

The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting went below First Heaven, which was the mortal world. Zhao Hongyu began to speed up and returned to their balcony in a flash that was not visible to an ordinary person.

“Ah… Finally home,” Zhao Yanzi breathed out deeply. They left in the morning, and it was already dusk; an entire day had passed by.

Zhao Hongyu put the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting away and entered the house with Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Guang was sitting in the living room, waiting for their news.

“How did it go?” Seeing the three of them walking down the stairs, he couldn’t help but ask.

“It went ok, but we didn’t get anything,” Zhao Hongyu said.

“Ah, I thought that would be the case.” Although Zhao Guang expected that, he was still a bit disappointed.

“Auntie, actually, we did get something. We just didn’t want to take them out in front of others,” Hao Ren said abruptly.

“Oh? What did you get?” Zhao Hongyu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Hao Ren sat on the living room couch and took a little bottle out of his necklace. Then, he carefully put it on the glass table in front of him.

“Ancient Elixir!” Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were both amazed.

But Hao Ren slowly took out another bottle.

Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang were astonished.

Then, Hao Ren took out another bottle and put it on the table. Then another one, then another one… Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were both stupefied even though they had seen many amazing things.

It is always better to hide away your wealth. Comparing to face, East Ocean needed to conceal its power and wealth more nowadays! Instead of showing off in front of Oldman Zeng, it was a better idea to hide these elixir pills and leave other believe that East Ocean didn’t get anything!

Just when Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were staring at the table full of colorful bottles of elixir pills, East Ocean University’s Electromechanical Engineering Program’s counselor was complaining, “Hao Ren from Class Two is getting more and more ridiculous! It has been a few days since he attended any classes! Professor Wu, don’t you think we should give a warning to a student like this? He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because of his connection with Su Han!”

“Ms. Liu, proceed with the warning. As you said, his skipped classes without sick notes.”

“Yeah, teach him a lesson!” The counselor made up her mind as she knocked on the desk.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the head of the program walked in. “Ms. Liu, here is a note for you from the Vice Principal.”

The counselor took the note and read, “Hao Ren, in your program, has been participating in an important off-campus activity arranged by me lately. He might have to miss a few classes. Please allow on behalf of the program. I wanted to tell you this earlier, but I have been caught up in many things.”

The Vice Principal’s signature, Lu Qing, as well as a huge red stamp was at the bottom of the note.
