She slowly raised her hand and tried to grab Hao Ren’s arm.
Hao Ren held on to her hand, which was slightly sweaty from being nervous, and led her out of this palace.
Closing her eyes and handing herself to another person required complete trust.
There were too many uncertainties and potential dangers in front of them. However, Xie Yujia felt relieved when Hao Ren led the way.
Even enough she couldn’t see anything, as long as Hao Ren was there to guide her, she would get out of any situation.
Hao Ren dragged Xie Yujia softly and felt all sorts of emotions tangled together. When Xie Yujia was worried about him, she would ask a lot of questions. However, once she understood the situation, she didn’t ask further. As long as it was something that she decided to do, she would persist until the very end. Nothing could be an obstacle for her.
Walking out of the main entrance of the Dragon Palace, Hao Ren took out the Water Repellent Bead. He continued and walked to the beach.
After they got inside the car, Elder Sun drove Xie Yujia and Hao Ren back to the city.
“Gongzi Hao, these were madam’s orders. Pardon me for the intrusion.” Elder Sun came to Hao Ren’s side of the car door and slightly cupped his hands together when they returned to the city.
“No worries.” Hao Ren smiled at him. The Dragon Palace was a secret place. It was indeed a bit abrupt for Hao Ren to take Xie Yujia there.
“Please find me if you need anything else.” Elder Sun got back in his black Mercedes-Benz and drove away.
“There’s a bus that I can take. I’ll get off here.” Xie Yujia opened the car door and waved at Hao Ren. “Rest up over the weekend!”
She didn’t even ask about the palace. Since those people didn’t want her to know, she didn’t want to give Hao Ren a hard time and suppressed her unnecessary curiosity.
“You too. Rest up well.” Hao Ren looked at her and couldn’t say anything else.
Xie Yujia smiled at him. Then, she saw the bus coming their way, so she took her bus pass out and quickly got onto the bus.
Phew…
Hao Ren drove away as he exhaled. He headed toward his home beside the beach.
At the same time in Zhao Yanzi house, the old Grandma walked toward the door, turned around, and raised her hand. “That’ll be everything. Farewell!”
“Take care.” Zhao Hongyu nodded gently.
Hua…
A ray of five-colored godly light beam appeared under the old Grandma’s feet, and she vanished instantly.
Zhao Hongyu stood at the doorway, paused for two seconds before turning around and closing the door gently.
Hao Ren’s white Ford returned to his home.
As he drove the car back to the garage of the house, Hao Ren heard laughter inside.
“Could it be that Zi’s family is here for a visit?” Hao Ren parked his car inside the garage and rushed into the house.
On the sofa in the living room, Grandma was surrounded by Lu Linlin on the left and Lu Lili on the right; they were chatting happily.
“Gongzi!”
Seeing that Hao Ren had come back, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood up at the same time and greeted Hao Ren.
“When did you guys come?” Hao Ren looked at them surprisingly.
“They came at noon and chatted with me for the whole afternoon!” Grandma held Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s waists and said pleasantly.
“Oh, I see.” Hao Ren went to the Dragon Palace today, and it was already late when he came home.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were considerate and came all the way here to accompany his grandma.
“Not only just this time. When I was away at Zhejiang, they also came to visit me every week. People in the village thought that they are my granddaughters!” Grandma held the Lu sisters in her arms and made them sit down again on the sofa.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were not only pretty and had good figures; most importantly, they were kind-hearted and knew how to please elders. Therefore, Grandma was very fond of these two ‘latecomers.’
They called Hao Ren ‘Gongzi’ and called her ‘Taijun.’ Grandma asked them to change it, but they couldn’t. After listening to it for a while, grandma got used to it and treated it as a nickname instead.
Their bodies were soft and warm, and their words were pleasing and appealing. Why would grandma have any complaints when accompanied by them after being alone for so many years?
Especially when these two girls served her peeled grapes and massaged her legs, grandma was flattered and felt like she was floating in the air. The treatment of the immortals in heaven was probably something close to this! The phrase is used to describe that there were many ancient buildings in the area.
267 Trying to Mess with Grandma?
When Grandma was talking, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili switched their positions. They leaned against the sofa and took turns massaging Grandma’s shoulders.
The tiny streaks of Nature Essence followed through the meridians into Grandma’s body and made her feel refreshed. “These two girls’ massage techniques are extremely good!”
“Okay, okay, you guys take such good care of me, but I don’t have anything to repay you with.” even though it was comfortable for her, Grandma still held their arms to stop them.
“Taijun, you are the reincarnation of the god of luck, and you ought to enjoy life and be happy,” Lu Linlin said gently.
“You two girls keep on flattering me.” Grandma took their hands softly and dragged them in front of her.
During this period, the Lu sisters got familiar with Grandma. Grandma treated them as granddaughters, and they also took care of Grandma attentively.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili fell in the arms of Grandma and made her laugh in joy.
In contrast, Hao Ren was ignored on the side.
“Ren, why are you blanking out? Go make dinner,” suddenly Grandma looked up and urged Hao Ren.
“Oh, okay,” Hao Ren walked toward the kitchen and suddenly thought, “Wait a minute! How did my status become the lowest all of a sudden?”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were talking and laughing with Grandma in the living room. Hao Ren walked into the kitchen, grabbed all sorts of ingredients from the refrigerator, pondered for a while about what dishes to make, and got busy.
The sea was right beside the house, and the East Ocean Dragon Palace was hidden in there.
Hao Ren’s house was close to the Dragon Palace.
Hao Ren thought of these random things while cooking.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili came to the smoky kitchen and went behind Hao Ren’s back. “Gongzi!”
Hao Ren, who was cooking, shivered. He turned around to look at them and saw them smirking at him.
“Hey! Don’t scare me!” Hao Ren glared at them.
They lowered their head as if they were admitting their mistakes. However, they looked up and walked close to him within a few seconds. “We’ll help, Gongzi!”
“Do you know how?” Hao Ren looked at them suspiciously.
They shook their heads, “No!”
Hao Ren sighed.
They took another half step forward and stood beside Hao Ren. “We can learn how to cook from Gongzi!”
Hao Ren’s cooking skill was very limited; all he could do was make food that was edible and average in taste. His cooking skill couldn’t be comparable to Zhao Hongyu’s or Xie Yujia’s.
Seeing Hao Ren not replying, they stood on the sides and watched him.
“So, you must put oil to fry then add water.”
“That’s how you cut the meat. I almost cut my finger last time and that hurt so much.”
“Use low heat to cook. You can’t turn it all the way up.”
Hao Ren began to sweat from the heat coming from the natural gas stove, and the Lu sisters were discussing and learning at the same time.
“I’ll teach you two how to make this soup.” Hao Ren turned around and looked at them.
The two girls widened their eyes joyfully.
Seeing their pure and silly expressions, Hao Ren couldn’t stifle his laughter. “Turn to medium heat and put in the meat first.”
“Um, um!” Lu Linlin went up and placed the meat slices that Hao Ren cut into the pot.
“Then put vegetables in and add the seasoning and salt,” Hao Ren instructed.
Lu Lili dropped the vegetables in clumsily.
Both of them were curious about everything and were quick learners.
“For salt, only put a little bit. Don’t put too much,” seeing Lu Lili tilt the salt container, Hao Ren hurriedly held onto her palm.
Lu Lili blushed and nodded obediently. Under Hao Ren’s instruction, she poured out a bit of salt.
Hao Ren held her slim hand, and he felt like he was grabbing a smooth jade.
“You can’t add that, it’s pepper powder!” seeing that Lu Linlin was about to dump the pepper powder in, Hao Ren reached out and grabbed Lu Linlin’s hand.
Lu Linlin put the pepper bottle down, smiled at Hao Ren, and looked at him with her pretty eyes. “I thought Gongzi likes my little sister. It seemed like you didn’t want to let go of her hand.”
“Sis…” Lu Lili called out gently. The blush on her face was even more apparent.
“Well, Gongzi is holding my hand now,” Lu Linlin giggled happily and said.
Hao Ren looked at her helplessly and moved her hand away. He thought she didn’t know the seasonings, but she took advantage of the situation and teased him.
“Gongzi, my sister and I will sleep over tonight,” Lu Linlin looked at Hao Ren with a smirk and said.
“As long as you guys don’t go wild, you can stay wherever you want,” Hao Ren tapped Lu Linlin’s forehand with his finger. He couldn’t act as a ‘Gongzi,’ and that was why Lu Linlin and Lu Lili became more and more mischievous.
“How do I take the steamed fish out?” Lu Lili ran to the steamer and asked.
“Use the cloth and be careful of the heat,” Hao Ren reminded.
He took out two pieces of wet cloth, put them in Lu Lili’s hands, and taught her how to get the plate out without touching the pot.
Hao Ren’s front chest touched Lu Lili’s back, and the side of their faces almost touched. Lu Linlin giggled as she stirred the meat soup and dipped the tips of a pair of chopsticks into the soup before putting the tips into her mouth to taste the flavor.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time in the hot and steamy kitchen.
Standing outside of the glass door of the kitchen, Grandma looked inside with confusion and strolled back to the living room.
Lying on the sofa leisurely, Grandma turned on the television and chose the channel with Chinese opera. She thought proudly, “Who said our Ren has no luck with girls?”
After ten minutes, Hao Ren brought out the finished dishes from the kitchen with the assistance of the relaxed and happy Lu Linlin and the nervous and cautious Lu Lili.
His cooking still wasn’t as great as Zhao Hongyu’s, but as long as he spent time and cooked patiently, the taste wouldn’t be worse than small restaurants.
Grandma was extremely pleased to be eating the meal that her grandson cooked with two beautiful girls accompanying her. The atmosphere was lively, and elderlies usually liked that.
“Taijun, try this!”
“We took out the fish bones for you.”
“I’ll get you some soup and cool it down for you!”
Even though Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t know how to cook, they were very good at serving Grandma during the meal!
Grandma never experienced this type of care and felt like she was the old lady from a prestige family. She didn’t need to do anything since the two considerate and smart girls would have everything taken care of!
Grandma was already soft-hearted, and her mind started to change after getting closer to the Lu sisters.
“Zi is cute, Yujia is considerate and sensible, and Linlin and Lili are even more well-behaved…”
As if Grandma’s mind was filled with honey, she felt like everything she ate was delicious and sweet! The days when she was lonely seemed to be gone once and for all!
While they were eating happily at the house, Zeng Yitao, who still had a light scar on his neck, led the 16 senior elders of West Ocean and flew toward the house by the beach!
“Capture that old woman! I’ll see what he dares to do next!” Zeng Yitao summoned his golden spear and yelled as he clenched his teeth.
268 Fell Right into the Trap
“Grandma, why didn’t you go when Zi’s mom asked you to live with them for a few days ago?” Hao Ren ate while asking his grandma.
“I didn’t want to bother them, and your parents will be back in a few days anyway,” Grandma drank the soup and replied, “I have to force them to live here for a while this time…”
Dong!
The entire house suddenly shook intensely.
The soup in Grandma’s spoon suddenly spilled on her clothes.
“Is there an earthquake?” grandma put down the spoon and asked nervously.
The moment Grandma spoke, more than a dozen powerful aura came from outside!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The isolation array formation that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili set up around the house was destroyed when they heard the sound!
Hao Ren stood up immediately. From his sharp senses of being at Zhen-level, he could tell that the house was surrounded!
Soon, the house stabilized and stopped shaking.
Grandma was still a bit suspicious. “Could it be that a nearby building fell?”
“Grandma, please continue eating. I’ll go check.” Hao Ren walked to the door and turned around to look at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. “You guys eat and accompany Grandma.”
His tone was calm, but he knew clearly that there were many enemies!
As Hao Ren walked out the door, a red energy sphere enveloped him instantly!
Zeng Yitao, holding the golden spear in his hand, smirked viciously as he stared at Hao Ren.
At the same time, sixteen rays of silver light passed through the door and flashed into the interior of the house!
Luring the tiger out of the mountain (TL: to lure someone away from somewhere he/she originally was at)!
Hao Ren wanted to turn back, but Zeng Yitao’s long spear stabbed forward and blocked Hao Ren’s way!
Peng! Peng! Peng…
The sound of a series of explosions came from the house.
Obviously, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were fighting with the 16 elders from West Ocean already!
Hao Ren looked up and discovered that the surrounding fifteen meters of the house had been covered by a red energy sphere.
It meant that this house nearby the ocean had already been isolated into a small world. Other people couldn’t see and hear what was going on inside it.
Hao Ren was worried about his grandma. He raised his hand to shot out a hundun lightning and continued to rush toward the entrance of the house.
The white lightning made a series of zapping sounds and hit Zeng Yitao’s chest, but it didn’t cause him any harm!
Underneath Zeng Yitao’s clothes was the Golden Sun Chained Armor! This was a treasure that West Ocean took from the Nine Dragon Palace a long time ago. After West Ocean’s decades of research, twelve restrictions on it had been opened, and it could defend against any attack under Gen-level!
Hao Ren’s hundun lightning could break the five elemental energy shields, but it couldn’t cut through this Golden Sun Chained Armor from the Nine Dragon Palace!
Hua!
The long spear stabbed unrelentingly at Hao Ren’s face!
Last time, there was only Black Wolf to protect him. However, Black Wolf was only good at assassination and not at head-on fights. This time, Zeng Yitao had 16 senior elders around him, so he was fearless.
Hao Ren didn’t have any weapon, and that was a huge disadvantage for him; sword array formations required a certain distance in order to exert its power. Zeng Yitao was close to Hao Ren
and attacked him continuously to prevent him from releasing sword array formations!
Hao Ren heard the fighting sounds in the house and had to dodge Zeng Yitao’s golden spear. It was imaginable how anxious he was!
West Ocean’s action already went over the line!
Peng!
Little White rolled out from the hidden space and instantly spat a fireball at Zeng Yitao!
Zeng Yitao raised his spear to block it, but the fireball suddenly cracked and burned some of his hair.
“Where did this b*stard come from?” Zeng Yitao’s golden spear released a golden light and struck Little White’s belly firmly!
Little White rolled on the ground, crawled up, and spat another fireball at Zeng Yitao!
The fireballs that were released were Samadhi True Flame!
One-line Snake Array Formation!
Hao Ren seized the chance and released the sword array formation. 80 sword energies dashed at Zeng Yitao’s forehead and struck furiously!
The power of Gen-level integrated with Little White’s Samadhi True Flame!
Zeng Yitao swung his long spear and avoided the attacks quickly. However, this sword array formation moved with Hao Ren’s thoughts and went behind Zeng Yitao’s back!
Using his mind to control the swords; he almost reached the realm of the Sword God!
Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll didn’t rely on dharma treasures because itself was the strongest dharma treasure!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
As if a string of coins hit Zeng Yitao’s chained armor, it created a series of crisp sound.
Even though the sword energy couldn’t pierce through the Golden Sun Chained Armor, the power of Samadhi True Flame struck Zeng Yitao!
Zeng Yitao felt a burn on his chest, and the Dragon Core that wasn’t solid enough was injured again!
Samadhi True Flame was the flame that could make elixir pills and cores. This scorching heat burned Zeng Yitao’s dragon core; how could he feel good about it?
Zeng Yitao was confident with his recovered strength of Zhen-level with the addition of the Coil Dragon Golden Spear and Golden Sun Chained Armor. He thought that it would be more than enough to fight against Hao Ren, who barely just stepped into Zhen-level.
