  “These must be Linlin and Lili’s brushes… How careless is Elder Lu? He has lived alone for so long and isn’t capable of taking care of people. He knows that I came with nothing, yet he didn’t think of getting a toothbrush out for me,” Hao Ren thought.

  No wonder when Linlin and Lili first came, Lu Qing didn’t even think of buying them some modern clothes; they were still in their ancient silk outfits when they went to school. It was Zhao Hongyu who purchased the clothes that they had now.

  Hao Ren understood that Lu Qing was very busy, so he didn’t want to disturb him with such a little thing. He picked up a toothbrush randomly and decided to use it anyways.

  After the nice shower, he got back into his clothes since Lu Qing didn’t get him any clean pajamas to change into. He knocked on the sisters’ door. “Linlin and Lili, I’m done. You guys can shower now!”

  “Ok! Gongzi!” they answered at the same time from within the room.

  Hao Ren went back to his couch to cultivate in the same position.

  It was either out of careless or something, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili forgot to close the door after they went into the bathroom. Thankfully, the door was facing their room, so Hao Ren wouldn’t have been able to see even if he had his eyes open.

  “Ah, sister, it seems like someone used your toothbrush! It’s wet!” Lu Lili shouted from the bathroom, and her voice came into Hao Ren’s ears in the living room.

  Hao Ren, who was in the middle of his cultivation, immediately blushed.

  “It’s ok. It was Gongzi.” They didn’t realize that the door was open at all.

  “Haha, sister, you are blushing! What do you call that? Oh, indirect kissing,” Lu Lili continued.

  Hao Ren’s face flushed even more at the sound of that, and the Nature Essence almost went on a wrong track in his body. He had never thought about that when he randomly grabbed a toothbrush in the first place.

  “You don’t focus on cultivation, but you pay so much attention to strange things like this. Saying that I’m for falling for a mortal being… I think you are the one who is falling for him,” Lu Linlin said.

  Their voices sounded exactly the same, so Hao Ren could only tell one from the other from the context. He didn’t expect Lu Lili to be so naughty in front of her sister; she was always so shy in front of others.

  They chatted and joked about Hao Ren, and he could hear everything through the open door.

  They chatted as they brushed their teeth. Then, the two of them went for a shower together. The sound of the water could be heard when it dropped down onto the tiles, and Hao Ren gave up the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and started to cultivate the Spirit Concentration Scroll which could calm him down. However, he could still imagine the scene of the sisters showering inside.

  After about ten minutes, Linlin pulled over the curtain in her green pajamas and shouted out, “Sister! How come you didn’t close the door!”

  “Ah? I forgot again… Usually, when Elder Lu goes into his room, he never comes back out until the next day.” Lu Lili said before suddenly remembering something. “So Gongzi heard everything we said?”

  Hao Ren answered in his head, “Yes, I heard it all. I even heard the sound you made when you played around in the shower.”

  They sneaked outside of the bathroom and saw Hao Ren cultivating with his eyes closed. The girls walked over quietly and said softly, “Gongzi…”

  Seeing that Hao Ren didn’t react, they raised their volume a bit, “Gongzi…”

  Hao Ren opened his eyes and pretended to be confused, “What’s up? I was too caught up with cultivation; I didn’t hear you.”

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were blushing from their necks up, and the redness under their smooth skin suddenly faded a bit in relief when they heard Hao Ren’s words.

  “Oh, nothing,” Lu Linlin covered her face with her hand and put on a straight face. “I just wanted to tell Gongzi that there are actually some profound secrets with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll you chose.”

  At the moment, their faces were only about ten centimeters from him, and they both smelled really nice from the shower.

  Hao Ren calmed himself down and pushed the girls back up with his finger on their foreheads. “What profound secrets?”

  The sisters were both in green pajamas, and hot steam was coming off of them. Their bodies were in great shape, yet Hao Ren’s heartbeat didn’t speed up. It was all because the Spirit Concentration Scroll had laid a great foundation for him.

  “Does Gongzi know what the purest five elements will become when they are mixed?” Lu Linlin asked Hao Ren.

  “I don’t know.” Hao Ren shook his head as he wouldn’t pretend to know something that he didn’t.

  “Lightning,” Lu Linlin said.

  “Oh? You mean…” Hao Ren suddenly understood a little.

  “The so-called Tiangang is actually lightning created by the gathering of the five elements. Gongzi’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll is rather a Lightning Cultivation Technique than a Sword Cultivation Technique. It is not a technique of the Dragon Tribe. They may have acquired it from somewhere, but they have no idea that this technique needs to be cultivated with the Lightning,” Lu Linlin lightly smiled at Hao Ren and said.

  138 The Report Card of Five Elements?!

  “Lightning Cultivation?” Hao Ren was interested.

  “Yes, Lightning Cultivation is a type of cultivation that relies on the five elements but would be above the five elements at the end. It’s mighty but also very difficult to cultivate. Therefore, it was lost within the human cultivation world,” Lu Lili interrupted and said.

  “Lightning counters all five elements. Therefore, all cultivators are afraid of the Heavenly Tribulations. The reason is that they only cultivate one or two elements, and other elements are eliminated to secure the pureness of those particular elements. Yet, because of the missing elements, one would become very fragile. In the Heavenly Tribulation, the cultivators would have to fight against the lighting, which represented five elements, using only one element. That’s also why dual-elemental cultivators have an easier time going through the Heavenly Tribulation,” Lu Linlin explained.

  “Then what should I do?” Hao Ren asked immediately.

  “What Gongzi has to do first is to secure the balance of the five elements in the body. Every single element cannot be more or less. You can build the foundation from there and gradually increase it,” Lu Lili said.

  Hao Ren looked to his left and then to his right. Two sisters surrounded him and made him feel slightly dizzy.

  “I have a little suggestion for you guys,” Hao Ren said.

  “What do you want, Gongzi?” They asked curiously.

  “One of you is older, and another is younger, but I can’t recognize who is who. How about this, from now on, older sister Lu Linlin will have two pigtails, and younger sister Lu Lili will have one ponytail. What do you think?” Hao Ren suggested.

  It seems like he would be interacting with them a lot more but being unable to distinguish between them would really be a problem.

  “We’ll follow Gongzi’s order!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood up right away and walked towards the washroom.

  Hao Ren didn’t know how to react; he said it casually and didn’t expect them to go and make their hair into braids right now.

  After a few minutes, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili walk out of the washroom. Their hair was to their waists, but now, one had a ponytail extending to her waist, and the other had two beautiful pigtails in front of her.

  Even though their hair was long, it wasn’t dry, nor did it have any split ends. Their hair looked like it came out from the ink, both dark and straight.

  Although they were still wearing the same clothes, it was obvious who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.

  They circled Hao Ren and giggled, and Hao Ren didn’t expect that just by changing their hairstyles, they would become super adorable!

  “Wait for a bit, Gongzi!” Th
ey smiled at Hao Ren and went into their room suddenly.

  After a few seconds, they walked out wearing two pairs of glasses. “Do we look nice, Gongzi?”

  Seeing them in their braids and glasses, Hao Ren held his breath. “They are super duper cute!” he thought.

  The sisters looked at each other through the glasses and stuck their tongues out at each other.

  “Yes.” Hao Ren could only say that. Beauties were simply different from others; changing their style casually by wearing a pair of glasses made them look entirely different.

  “See? Gongzi said we look nice,” Lu Lili pouted her lips at Lu Linlin and said proudly.

  Lu Linlin smiled happily and said, “I went to an optical shop near the school today with my younger sister. We were just looking around because we thought it was interesting. Then, the store owner gave these two pairs of glasses to us and didn’t even charge us.”

  Hao Ren smiled as well. The twins thought everything was interesting because they just arrived in this world. However, that guy was probably shocked by how cute they were when he saw the twins wearing glasses.

  “Alright Gongzi, let’s get back on topic.” Lu Linlin, who had the ponytail, held up Hao Ren’s arm and said, “Let my sister and I help you with the first step of cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!”

  “How are you guys going to help me?” Hao Ren asked in a rush as Lu Lili also grabbed his other arm.

  “Of course, it is to balance the five elements in your body!” Lu Linlin smiled sweetly. “Gongzi, take off your clothes!”

  “Ah?” Hao Ren felt his arms were both controlled by them, but how could a person like him resist two sisters who were top-tier Kun-level when he was not even a Kun-level cultivator yet?

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili unbuttoned Hao Ren’s top with one of their hands and stripped off Hao Ren’s shirt.

  “Gongzi, you just have to practice the most fundamental Spirit Concentration Scroll,” Lu Linlin’s sweet voice sounded again.

  At this moment, Lu Lili was blushing without saying anything.

  Their delicate hands touched Hao Ren’s chest and back.

  Hao Ren didn’t ask anymore; he knew that they were definitely helping him. Therefore, he closed his eyes, threw away the random thoughts, and cultivated the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

  He was still unfamiliar with the content of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. However, he was very familiar with the Spirit Concentration Scroll because he practiced it every day, whenever he can, even during sleep. The five elements quickly circulated in his body.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s expressions became serious as they frowned and didn’t dare to ignore any details.

  “Metal, 12%…… wood, 16%…… water,54%…… fire, 11%…… earth, 7%……”

  He didn’t know if it was Lu Linlin or Lu Lili who reported the numbers in order.

  “It’s done, Gongzi.” Their crisp voices sounded again, and they moved their hands away from Hao Ren’s body.

  Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw a piece of paper beside Lu Lili with some data recorded on it.

  Lu Lily handed the piece of paper to Hao Ren and said, “This is the ratio of the five elements in Gongzi’s body. From this data, we can tell that you need to strengthen the absorption of the four elements, metal, wood, fire, and earth. Earth element has an especially low ratio!”

  Hao Ren took over the piece of paper and felt like he was looking at his report card.

  “You guys know statistics?” Hao Ren looked at the data and put the piece of paper on the side.

  “Yeah, my younger sister and I have been learning mathematics lately and found many things quite useful!” Lu Linlin smiled sweetly again and said.

  At the same time, Zhao Yanzi suddenly came out of her room. She saw the Lu sisters sitting intimately beside Hao Ren and growled, “I knew that you wouldn’t be sleeping!”

  Hao Ren couldn’t understand why she was angry suddenly and wanted to explain, but Zhao Yanzi yelled again, “Idiot! Jerk! Stinky Uncle!”

  Hao Ren was scolded by her cluelessly. Lu Linlin was going to say something back, but she was pulled back by Lu Lili.

  Lu Qing, who stayed in the master bedroom and was looking at all kinds of documents, heard the quarrels outside. He rubbed his head and pretended that he didn’t hear anything. Sigh, he was merely an Elder. How could he deal with these internal affairs?

  Peng! Zhao Yanzi vented her anger and suddenly went back to her room after slamming the door.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili made eye contact with each other, and they both felt sympathetic toward Hao Ren. “This little Zhumu is very tough. Gongzi’s life wouldn’t be an easy one……”

  “It’s getting late. You guys should go back and rest too,” Hao Ren said to them.

  “Yes, Gongzi.” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili both stood up.

  They looked gorgeous in their pajamas, especially when they walked on the floor barefooted; they looked graceful and pleasing.

  When they returned to their room, Hao Ren looked at his ‘report card’ again and sighed.

  He closed his eyes and began cultivating.

  Creak!

  Suddenly, a door opened again.

  Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yanzi holding a pillow as she stood outside her door.

  “Hey, I can’t fall asleep.”

  139 A Talented Artist?!

  “Then… I’ll sleep with you?” Hao Ren thought for a bit and asked.

  Seeing Hao Ren’s reaction, Zhao Yanzi’s eyes widened. “Who wants you… To sleep with me!”

  “Then… What can I do?” Hao Ren looked at her innocently.

  Zhao Yanzi held the pillow and walked in front of Hao Ren. She thought for a bit, sat on the sofa, and curled up her legs. “There’s a way I can fall asleep.”

  “What is it?” Hao Ren asked her.

  “I can fall asleep if you lecture me,” Zhao Yanzi said.

  “Uh……” Hao Ren was stunned. “I didn’t know that my tutoring was that boring,” he thought.

  “But I didn’t bring any materials.” Hao Ren looked at her again.

  “Just talk about anything.” She put the pillow behind her head, raised up her legs, and hesitated for a bit before laid them on Hao Ren’s thighs.

  Her feet were soft, and they were in soft pink. Hao Ren maintained an upright posture and didn’t dare to move randomly. It was apparent that Zhao Yanzi was more superior in their relationship of ‘husband and wife’. If Hao Ren touched her at all, she would definitely scream and be very mean to him.

  “Okay, then I’ll talk about anything randomly. The way to calculate definite integral is to utilize the simple formula of calculus…”

  Hao Ren simply talked about the content from his morning class of Advanced Mathematics. He combined them randomly and spoke according to his memory and comprehension.

  Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes and leaned her head on the pillow as she listened to Hao Ren’s lecture, but she obviously didn’t understand.

  “Variable rectilinear motion’s position function and velocity function can be used to derive the basic formula of this calculus……”

  Suddenly, Hao Ren asked her, “Do you understand?”

  “My *ss! There’s no way that I understand!” Zhao Yanzi gave him a ferocious glare.

  Hao Ren coughed twice and thought that his little fiancée wasn’t reserved at all. He continued to ask her, “What did you say to Xie Yujia at the stadium today?”

  “Why are you so nervous?” Zhao Yanzi asked.

  “Just…” Hao Ren’s face turned slightly pale, and he explained, “Asking.”

  “You like her, right?” Zhao Yanzi sat up suddenly and asked.

  “No,” Hao Ren replied.

  Zhao Yanzi glanced at him and said, “Lies.”

  “What did you say to her?” Hao Ren asked again.

  “Not telling you!” Zhao Yanzi raised her head. “You can go ask her yourself!”

  Hao Ren gritted his teeth an
d glared back at her. As of Zhao Yanzi, he couldn’t do anything to her.

  “Keep talking,” Zhao Yanzi laid down again and used her small heels to kick Hao Ren’s thighs.

  Hao Ren grabbed her small feet and put them on his thighs. He had a headache when he talked to her about the content of Advanced Mathematics as well, so he switched to history and said, “Speaking of the big traitor in history, Yan Song, he was actually a man of honor as well. Historical records said that he was huge and tall, had great facial features, and was talented. However, he was actually trained to be a traitor by Emperor Jiajing. First……”

  Zhao Yanzi realized that the content of the lecture has changed and was confused, but she didn’t care as she squinted her eyes and started to listen.

  “Yan Song did so many bad things. However, they wouldn’t have happened without the Emperor’s implicit permission. The most well-known event was……” Hao Ren kept on speaking from his memories of the history books he has read.

  “This Uncle seems somewhat knowledgeable……” Zhao Yanzi listened and thought at the same time.

  Hao Ren wasn’t aware of the time.

  When he checked the clock, he realized that it went from ten o’clock to eleven o’clock. Hao Ren was thirsty from talking, so he turned around to look at Zhao Yanzi and found that she had fallen asleep.

  He scratched the bottom of her feet lightly, and Zhao Yanzi pulled back her feet slightly but didn’t wake up. Seeing her acting soft like a small animal, Hao Ren could only describe her as ‘cute’ at this moment even though he still remembered how ferocious she was earlier.

  He pinched her feet with his hand, and she still didn’t wake up. This made Hao Ren certain that she definitely fell asleep.

  “This little girl’s feet are so soft……” Hao Ren sighed as he put his hands on her back and beneath her legs soundlessly, and he held her up slowly from the sofa.

  Zhao Yanzi, who was already a middle-schooler, wasn’t light in weight. However, for Hao Ren, who already broke through the Spirit Concentration Scroll, had strengthened his body. Especially since he had to wear the Mount Tai Bracelets that were now about 200 kilograms, even three to four Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t be too heavy for him to hold on.
