Chapter 342: Difficult to Read a Woman’s Mind

Yue Yang was already preparing dinner when Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and Zhen Congming came back to the house.

The natural essence was very thick on Fifth Heaven. They didn’t feel hungry even though they didn’t have lunch. As the saying goes, “There is no time restraint when it comes to cultivating. A day passes by in the blink of an eye.”

“Where did you go? I haven’t seen you all day!” Grandma complained when she saw them coming back.

“Hehe, we took Congming to the beach,” Hao Ren answered with a smile.

Obviously, Grandma adored Zhen Congming very much. She laughed happily when she learned that Hao Ren took Zhen Congming out to have fun.

“Zi’s mom called today and asked why you did not go to her studio. She had been calling you all day, but it never got through. She was worried.” Yue Yang walked out of the kitchen.

Hao Ren was surprised. He didn’t think it was appropriate to go to Zhao Hongyu’s studio anymore due to what was happening between him and the East Ocean Dragon Clan. But to his surprise, Zhao Hongyu didn’t mind it at all. She was still expecting him to come to the studio for his internship.

“Zi’s mom is a famous architect. If you don’t want to become a scientist, it would be a good option to learn more from her,” Yue Yang encouraged.

“Yeah. I’ve been a bit busy lately. I’ll go when I get the chance.” Hao Ren nodded.

The general examinations in the Dragon God Shrine were taking place soon, and Hao Ren would have the confidence to go if he could level up to Gen-level. Otherwise, how could he be in the mood to learn architectural design with so much going on in the East Ocean Dragon Palace?

“Also, Zi’s mom suggested that our two families should have a meal together sometime next week,” Yue Yang continued.

Hao Ren nodded again. His parents and Zi’s parents could get along on both social and educational levels, so it was normal for the two families to become close. His parents helped with the business crisis Mingri Group was facing, so Zi’s parents were probably very thankful.

If there weren’t an East Ocean Dragon Palace behind this, the two families would have become intimate friends.

After a lovely dinner, Hao Ren helped Yue Yang out with washing the dishes, and Xie Yujia came over to help as well. Zhen Congming, on the other hand, focused intensely on gaming on his PS3.

No matter what, he was still a carefree elementary school student.

Little White was chasing after a ball around the living room, and it rolled around under the furniture. It was sometimes here and sometimes not, so Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were both used to it. As long as it didn’t poop around in the house, it was fine.

Also, the dying tree in the backyard had been growing better and better since Little White showed up.

“Do we still have chips at home, mom?” Hao Ren asked Yue Yang after he put all the dishes in the cupboard.

“Chips? Grandma bought a few bags and stuffed them in your bag. She wants you to share them with your friends at school,” Yue Yang said.

“Ok, I know. I’ll be out for a bit!” Hao Ren quickly ran to the stairs.

“It’s so late already. Where are you going?” Yue Yang stuck her head out of the kitchen, but he had already dashed toward the door.

Hao Ren walked to the back of the house with his backpack. He created a red energy sphere, placed a white sword energy under his feet, and flew toward the ocean.

Hao Ren now had 75 openings, and his nature essence was a lot stronger than before. Thinking back, it was hard for him even to create one opening when he wanted to get to Kan-level, and the Li-level that required ten openings was extremely difficult to get to as well.

He could unlock two to three openings daily according to his current progress, and his technique was also improving at a fast speed; faster than most dragon cultivators who were practicing ordinary techniques.

The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll’s improvement was going slow due to the thin nature essence on First Heaven, but Hao Ren’s current cultivating spot’s nature essence intensity was five or six times thicker than First Heaven. Therefore, his efficiency was five or six times higher as well. It made up for the fact that the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was hard to cultivate.

Boom!

Hao Ren’s red energy sphere smashed into the ocean, splashing waves over ten meters.

Due to the array formation of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, ordinary cultivators couldn’t enter at all. However, the soldiers who were guarding the gate the would open it up as soon as they saw Hao Ren.

Hao Ren got into the East Ocean Dragon Palace smoothly. He walked to Zhao Yanzi’s little palace with his backpack, and he felt like he was in a rush as he was excited to meet up with his little lover.

Zhao Yanzi calculated the passing time as she waited in her room. Since she was grounded in the dragon palace, there wasn’t even anyone for her to chat with. The more bored she was, the more she missed Hao Ren.

She picked on Hao Ren a lot before, thinking he was wordy and annoying, but those had all become good things about him at the moment.

“Zhao Yanzi!” Hao Ren shouted from outside of the little palace with the bag in his hand.

Zhao Yanzi immediately hopped off her bed when she heard Hao Ren’s voice, but she wasn’t going to say anything nice. “Come in, dummy!”

Hao Ren laughed and walked inside; he knew she hadn’t slept yet.

“Why are you here so late…” Zhao Yanzi pouted when she saw Hao Ren smiling. But she suddenly caught the mistake she made and said again, “Why are you here again!”

“I brought you something to eat,” Hao Ren walked over and sat on the side of the bed, one meter from Zhao Yanzi. He put the bag in the middle and quickly opened it up.

There were all kinds of snacks in the bag including sunflower seeds, chips, beef jerky, little walnuts, chocolate…

Grandma would prepare these for Hao Ren every single weekend for him to share with his roommates; she wanted him to get along with his classmates.

However, Hao Ren already got along well enough with them already, so he brought these for Zhao Yanzi instead.

Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t even care about snacks like this if it was before. But now…

“Woah!” she couldn’t help but shout; she eyes shone as if she was a hungry wolf.

She was grounded here every day, and the people in the dragon palace had been sending her delicate dishes daily. It wasn’t bad, but a little girl like her sure liked snacks. She didn’t realize that before since she used to eat it every day. Now that she hadn’t had any snacks for a few days, she was craving it!

“These are all for you…” Hao Ren hesitated for a second after she robbed the bag from his arms.

Zhao Yanzi poured the snacks out and piled them up at the side of the bed. Then, she handed the empty bag to Hao Ren. The second she looked back at Hao Ren, she got a bit touched.

She never mentioned this to Hao Ren, but he thought of it himself. Sometimes caring was not about giving her high-end gifts that were worth several thousand dollars when she was in a good place, but being thoughtful and caring while she was down.

Zhao Yanzi didn’t know how to express this, but she felt the warmth deep in her heart.

She was emotional, but Hao Ren didn’t think that far. He put the bag behind him and picked up the textbook on the table.

“Let’s review Series and Parallel Inductors today. You seem to have made a lot of mistakes on those questions.”

Zhao Yanzi looked at how serious Hao Ren was. She twisted her lips and thought, “What the hell? I just got so moved, but you didn’t react to it at all!

“Dummy! Dummy! Dummy! Dummy…” Zhao Yanzi’s fists landed on Hao Ren’s chest like a windmill, which completely confused Hao Ren.
