He waved his arm and threw the cloth on the table before laughing and shaking his head.
“What the hell was that…”
“Are you playing with us? You didn’t even touch it…”
All the guys started shouting.
“Come again, come again!”
Zhou Liren walked over and picked up the brick. He was going to put it between two chairs.
The martial arts masters would usually do this on the TV. No one would punch out without touching the brick…
Pa! The brick Zhou Liren picked up suddenly broke into three pieces.
This sudden change stupefied Zhou Liren, and one of the smaller pieces even fell onto his slipper.
All the guys were astonished at this.
It seemed like Hao Ren never touched the red brick, but he already smashed it into pieces!
The dozens of guys became completely quiet suddenly.
“How much damage would that strike cause if it were to land on a person? No wonder Huang Xujie doesn’t want to get on Hao Ren’s bad side and came to apologize with presents!” they thought.
“Gongzi is so mighty!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili broke the silence.
Hao Ren looked down and smiled before messing up their hair a little.
How could he be more powerful than the Lu sisters? They were putting up such a show!
The twin sisters laughed cheerfully; they just wanted to help him in carrying out the show!
The guys all looked at Hao Ren in surprise. They suddenly realized that the Hao Ren they had known for three years was actually a martial arts master!
“Brother Ren, one more, one more!” They took out their cellphones as they requested for another show.
They didn’t think that Hao Ren could do this, so no one had their phone out just now. The video would definitely go viral once uploaded to the school’s network.
“Ok, cut it out. I’m taking Linlin and Lili back.” Hao Ren slightly pushed the guys away and left the room with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
The guys’ jealousy was tuned down a bit when Hao Ren and the Lu sisters left cheerfully.
They thought that it was silly that the twins were following Hao Ren. Now that they saw what just happened, who would even dare to pursue after them anymore…
Compared to Hao Ren, those weak members of the Taekwondo Club were utterly useless!
“Hao Ren is actually very cool, and that is why Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are following him,” they thought.
558 The Lu Sisters
Hao Ren walked the Lu sisters to their post-graduate dorm. He had only done it a few times when they first enrolled at East Ocean University; now, they had transferred to the Mechatronic Engineering Program.
Hao Ren walked them along the dim, quiet road on campus toward their dorm, and he suddenly realized that he hadn’t been paying enough attention to them.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were walking on the fallen leaves by Hao Ren’s sides. They appeared to be quite happy about Hao Ren walking them home. No matter what, that meant he cared about them!
“Gongzi…” Lu Linlin broke the silence.
“Um?” Hao Ren looked at her.
“Will you…leave us?” She pouted.
Hao Ren laughed, “Why would I? You two don’t eat much anyways.”
“Ah…” Lu Lili couldn’t help but smile. “So, this is what’s on Gongzi’s mind!”
Hao Ren laughed again, “Alright… I won’t let you guys go.”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at him quietly. They felt his coldness, but they were still happy about his remark.
They sped up and caught up with Hao Ren.
“Gongzi…” Lu Lili asked timidly as she walked right beside him, “Do you like Big Zhumu more or Little Zhumu more?”
Hao Ren turned to her. “Why are you suddenly asking me about this?”
Lu Lili pouted and said, “I think Gongzi is more fond of Big Zhumu.”
Lu Linlin nudged over. “I think Gongzi is more fond of Little Zhumu.”
They had different opinions.
Hao Ren knew that they must have made another boring bet.
“I like you two even more.” Hao Ren teased them.
“Ah…”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were a little surprised since they didn’t get the answer they were looking for. However, they were satisfied with this answer as well.
There was a storm during the day, but the nightly sky was pretty clear. The moon hung high up in the sky and covered the basketball court with the silver light.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili walked on Hao Ren’s sides. They really wanted to hold onto Hao Ren’s hands, but they were worried that it would ruin the nice atmosphere.
“Linlin and Lili, you are both at mid-tier Qian-level?” Hao Ren asked.
“Yes, Gongzi!” they answered at the same time.
Hao Ren smiled and kept walking.
“Gongzi, you will reach Dui-level soon,” Lu Linlin said; she tried to guess what was on Hao Ren’s mind.
“Yes, Gongzi has been cultivating really hard,” Lu Lili added.
Hao Ren laughed again as he knocked their small hands with his hands. They were very good at comforting others.
However, instead of being worried about his own cultivating speed, he was wondering how he could defeat Xu Ke, who was already at Dui-level.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s arms were very smooth. They held onto Hao Ren’s hands happily after Hao Ren knocked theirs. Then, they quickly held Hao Ren’s arms.
Hao Ren was about to pull back his arm, but he felt two waves of pure five-elemental nature essences slowly moving into his arms.
“Gongzi, cultivating is altering destiny. Your body type is more than ten or a 100 times better than before, and it is all thanks to your hard work.”
They said with their hands holding his. Their fingers were cold like jade, and they made Hao Ren feel very comfortable.
“Actually, we think both Big and Little Zhumu are very nice,” they continued.
Hao Ren pinched their smooth palms and took his hands back.
His strength was weak, and there was a pile of problems for him to deal with.
He had to deal with Xu Ke and the agreement on the Nine Dragon Palace. He would have to consider other things after surviving all these.
Qiu Niu was the eldest son of the Godly Dragon. Hao Ren wasn’t sure if he could face this ancestor of the dragons.
Qiu Niu was Zhen Congming’s master and was famous for being strange. Even Zhen Congming feared him. Since Hao Ren was only remotely related to Zhen Congming, Qiu Niu wouldn’t let him go easily.
A fierce battle was inevitable.
“Alright, Gongzi. It was our fault…” The Lu sisters secretly glimpsed at Hao Ren and apologized.
They thought he was upset since he had been quiet.
“Nah…” Hao Ren smiled at them and patted their heads. Although he wasn’t mad at them, it was a bit gossipy of them to discuss Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stuck out their tongues out and laughed. Hao Ren only lightly patted their heads; he wouldn’t want to hurt them at all.
“Gongzi, the purple gold hairpin that Lady Zhen gave to you is pretty powerful…”
“Eternal demon kings are also known as heavenly demons. They are at the same level as Soul Formation Realm cultivators, and they don’t need to abide by the orders of nature. They can go anywhere below Ninth Heaven…”
“I think Lady Zhen doesn’t mean to harm Gongzi, but you should still be careful…”
Their romantic plan didn’t work out, so they became chatty all over again.
Hao Ren listened as they walked ahead. He agreed with them from time to time, wondering who this Lady Zhen was.
The Demon Sea and the Dragon Tribe were two large forces. The Demon Sea was in between the four oceans while the Dragon Tribe was in charge of all the land and ocean beside the Demon Sea on First Heaven. Dragon Tribe seemed to have the utmost advantage, but the Demon Sea possessed
the purest nature essences in the world…
“How dare you two little girls gossip about me!”
Lady Zhen’s voice came upon them from the lower sky.
Two slim rays of blue light shot down from the sky, and the twins raised their hands up to block the light. However, they couldn’t defend against the two rays of light completely.
“Who said that I can’t get above Ninth Heaven? I bet your holy mother would remember the two of you once I get up there!” It was Lady Zhen’s voice.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s faces turned pale immediately, and they gritted their teeth and whipped out their Yin-Yang Bracelets together. Then, the bracelets pushed the two blue rays of light back.
“Woah…” Lady Zhen laughed cheerfully, “Hao Ren, I am going to Kunlun Mountain to take back something that belongs to me. Take care of Zhen Congming while I’m away!”
Shoo… Heavy clouds covered up the moon and the stars as Lady Zhen headed toward the northwest direction.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were blushing and out of breath. They almost couldn’t resist those two rays of blue light from Lady Zhen.
As the heavy clouds dashed away, the sky above the campus cleared up.
Hao Ren didn’t even see Lady Zhen through the clouds. She made a loud noise on purpose as she flew towards Kunlun Mountain; it seemed like the Soul Formation Realm cultivator over there would soon be in trouble.
“Gongzi…” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at Hao Ren as if they wanted to say something.
“Alright, I won’t ask more about your identities.” Hao Ren held their hands and kept walking to the post-graduate dorm building.
“They are willing to stay with me, and I would like to have them by my side. Strength is the ultimate deal breaker… I wouldn’t let them go, but….” Something bothered Hao Ren, yet he decided to move on for now.
559 Who Told You… I Haven’t?
It was only eight o’clock when Hao Ren got back to his dorm after walking the Lu sisters back.
Hao Ren felt less pressured now that Lady Zhen had left East Ocean City. It seemed like she was only passing by here on her way to Kunlun Mountain.
She probably stayed in East Ocean City for a few days to adapt to the mortal world, but it still got the Dragon God Shrine very nervous.
“Seems like this mom doesn’t care much about her son,” Hao Ren thought to himself; he didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Lady Zhen was very unpredictable and powerful. Who knows if she would appear suddenly again.
Zhou Liren and the other guys started to play cards again in the dorm, and Hao Ren walked through the dorm room to the balcony to check on LingZhao Middle School.
Zhao Yanzi’s dorm room’s light was out, which meant they weren’t there. Dinner time had passed, so they must be in the classroom.
Hao Ren looked further at their academic building and found that almost all the classrooms on the third floor were bright.
“Grade Nine students are doing evening self-study…” Hao Ren thought as he injected some nature essences into his eyes to check on the classroom.
Class Two of Grade Nine was in the second classroom on the third floor, and Zhao Yanzi was sitting by the window. Hao Ren could see her clearly.
She kept writing something with her head down, and Hao Ren had no idea what she was working on.
The class advisor, Luo Ying, walked around the classroom with her hand behind her, keeping the class in order. She would stop beside Zhao Yanzi from time to time to look at what she had written.
Ling sat behind Zhao Yanzi, and she tapped Zhao Yanzi’s back with her pen when Luo Ying turned around to chat secretly.
The lively scene reminded Hao Ren of his evening self-study sessions when he was in middle school.
“What are you doing?” Hao Ren took out his phone and sent over a message.
Zhao Yanzi pulled her phone out of the desk and replied a message; Hao Ren could see everything she was doing.
“It’s all your fault! I am writing a reflection paper!”
Hao Ren got her message a few seconds later.
Hao Ren couldn’t help but laugh at her response, thinking, “This is not your first time writing up a reflection paper. You are an expert already.”
When Hao Ren was about to reply, Luo Ying walked in front of Zhao Yanzi from the other side of the classroom and reached out her hand.
Zhao Yanzi had no choice but to put the black phone in Luo Ying’s hand, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
Luo Ying took the cell phone away, but she was still standing in front of Zhao Yanzi. It seemed like she was scolding her.
Zhao Yanzi turned her face to the window, upset. However, Hao Ren could see her face clearly this way.
“What? You don’t think I’m right?” Luo Ying picked up Zhao Yanzi’s reflection paper and took a look before saying, “You don’t realize your fault at all!”
“Fine! I’ll write it again!” Zhao Yanzi was upset.
Yu Qing, from Class Six, was the one who started it, but Zhao Yanzi had to write the reflection paper.
“That’s not necessary; go on and study. Don’t think you have nothing to learn because you did well on the finals. Your foundation isn’t good, so you need more practice!”
Luo Ying put the reflection paper away with a stern face. Then, she knocked twice on Zhao Yanzi’s desk.
Zhao Yanzi breathed heavily as her chest went up and down. She thought “What the hell! You are just trying to pick on me!”
Luo Ying snorted a little and walked to the front of the classroom to grade homework.
“Zhao Yanzi’s parents don’t try to discipline her, and they were talking about a fiancée or something. As the class advisor, it is my responsibility to set her straight,” she thought.
On the first day that the school moved to the new campus, one of her students started a fight in front of the gate. This had made Luo Ying very embarrassed.
Zhao Yanzi had always been one of the problem students in her eyes. Even though Zhao Yanzi’s grades had gotten better, her personality stayed the same.
Luo Ying admitted that Zhao Yanzi was smart, but the more intelligent a student was, the easier it was for him or her to get into big trouble.
All other class advisors asked the class presidents to keep the class in order during the evening self-study session, but she was here herself since she wanted to be responsible for these students.
All the students in other classes were either from a rich or an influential family; they didn’t have to worry about their future at all. However, the students in Class Two were from ordinary families, and their futures would be tough if they messed up the high school entrance exams. That was how the society was; one wrong step could lead to the wrong path.
Luo Ying believed that although these students were calling her ‘old witch’ behind her back, they would surely understand her intentions in the future.
“Zhao Yanzi wants to flip the table, but at least it is better than having her suffer a miserable life in the future,” Luo Ying sighed silently as she graded the homework with her reading glasses on.
Ling saw Luo Ying working on the homework and lightly patted Zhao Yanzi again.
“Don’t get upset with the old witch, Zi. She is just stern, but she can’t really do anything. Hey! Did you get to question no.6?” Ling asked quietly.
“No.6? That was easy. I have already finished no.10!” Zhao Yanzi turned around to put the practice booklet behind her.
“Awesome, you are all done?” Ling was surprised.
She was only ranked middle in Class Two but was way better than Zhao Yanzi, who was always last. However, Zhao Yanzi’s grades had been improving rapidly, which surprised everyone.
“We learned all these in Grade Eight. What’s so hard about them?” Zhao Yanzi said proudly with her head up.
They hadn’t learned many new things since Grade Nine had just started. The evening sessions were mainly meant to review the concepts in Grade Eight, and Hao
Ren had walked her through all these questions before. Therefore, she finished very quickly.
“Hey, hey!” Ling moved her chair closer and leaned onto the wall, “Liu Yuntao wanted to kiss me today.”
“Ah, and then?” Zhao Yanzi got very interested suddenly and moved her head over.
“I don’t know how to kiss, so I didn’t want him to laugh at me,” Ling shrugged and said quietly. Then, she opened her eyes wide and whispered, “I read on a book that you have to stick your tongue out while kissing, but I’m a little scared.”
“Oh, that…” Zhao Yanzi mumbled.
“Zi, you know how to kiss, right?” Ling continued.
They were best friends, and they told each other everything. Therefore, she could only come to Zhao Yanzi when it came to these kinds of questions.
However, how would Zhao Yanzi know? Although she was Hao Ren’s fiancée in name, she hadn’t kissed him properly.
Since Ling was asking, Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to lose face by saying no. She lightly coughed twice and said, “Of course I know!”
“So how does it go? We have been together for two months. Is it too soon to kiss?” Ling was not sure.
Ling hadn’t dated anyone else before, and Liu Yuntao was the first one she had a crush on up until the end of Grade Eight. Zhao Yanzi had inspected Liu Yuntao for Ling, and she found him pretty decent.
“Two months is normal! You can even kiss him after one month!” Zhao Yanzi pretended to be the expert.
She had known Hao Ren for a few months, and there had never been a breakthrough; they hadn’t even officially kissed yet. She resisted Hao Ren a little before, but she now felt embarrassed since Ling was making more progress with her boyfriend.
“Ah, really?” Ling wasn’t experienced, and she trusted Zhao Yanzi since boys were always after her.
“Of course!” Zhao Yanzi pouted. “You need to close your eyes when you kiss. Let him hold you in his arms and stick your tongue out when he reaches over to kiss you…”
Zhao Yanzi was making all these things up. Half of it was her pure imagination, and the other half was from the magazines. She had no experience at all.
