Chapter 648 Cheapskate Kid!
Yanzi’s place.Zhao Hongyu's family had been eagerly awaiting their grandmother’s visit for two days. When they saw each other, both sides were a little emotional.They arranged to put the grandmother i...Chapter 648: This Kid Is Quite Clever!
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzǐ's words, Xiè Yujia cast a puzzled gaze towards Hao Ren.
Xiejunior is slow-tempered while Zhaojunior is quick to act.
Xijunior kept all her worries bottled up inside, but Zhaojunior couldn't hide anything; she even told Hao Ren about the trivial matters from middle school.
As a result, Xiexiao was closer to Hao Ren physically, yet emotionally they were worlds apart.
The moonlight was still and quiet. The silence stretched on for nearly a second, seeming rather long.
Liking one person more… Zhaojunior's words proved that she knew Hao Ren liked Xiexiao. She left some room for Xiexiao!
But her attitude was also pushing Xiexiao towards the frontline battlefield.
Zhaojunior felt uncomfortable right now because although Xiexiao followed Hao Ren around, she never said that she liked him!
Now that Xiexiao showed that she really did like Hao Ren, it made Zhaojunior feel better somewhat.
That's right, it should be this way! If you like someone, just say so. Don't act coy while sticking to Hao Ren— thinking about it makes one angry!
Hao Ren was the same; he couldn't get over Xiexiao but pretended everything was fine.
Actually, she didn’t hate Xiexiao, only their attitudes! In comparison, Zhaojunior preferred Lujunior and Lu Senior more— they were simple!
Zhaojunior gritted her teeth and turned to look at Hao Ren.
"Like both," Hao Ren said three words plainly.
Direct and resounding, like a hammer hitting the ground.
Since they had sincerely asked him and expressed their own feelings, Haojunior would no longer hide.
Haojunior didn't lie, thus he hadn’t spoken before.
Xiexiao already knew the answer in her heart but never expected Hao Ren to suddenly say it out loud… She looked at Haojunior and immediately softened inside.
Actually, Haojunior was like her— silently doing a lot of things without explanation. When she returned to the dormitory that evening, she found out that her phone had missed calls from Haojunior; he had tried contacting her.
But Haojunior wouldn't explain or defend himself. Actions spoke louder than words.
If the grown-up big brother wasn’t what she envisioned as a boyfriend, then after over ten years of waiting, Xiexiao would have to give up.
However, Haojunior was still the same— that unflattering big brother who had never said comforting words and even lacked warmth but always protected "Little Turnip" with his hands… Zhaojunior's lips twitched; she already knew the answer too, just wanting to hear it from Haojunior himself.
Her mother Zhao Hongyu had told her that in matters like this, there was no question of winning or losing, only a matter of being stronger. However, she hadn’t expected Hao Ren to be so straightforward… "But… I prefer Xiexiao when she's happy." Hao Ren took two steps forward and gently touched Xiexiao’s forehead.
Xiexiao lifted her eyelids and nervously backed away a couple of steps.
"Bully!" Zhao Yanzǐ punched郝仁's back waist.
Peng!
Two sword-like qi blades rose from beneath郝仁's feet.
Hao Ren, who had already recovered to his full strength, could easily levitate in the air.
Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia looked up at Hao Ren as he entered the pitch-black sky, then glanced at each other.
"If you like him, show your abilities!" Zhao Yanzǐ glared at Xie Yujia, pouted her lips, and said in a petulant tone.
Xie Yujia looked at her, and suddenly felt uplifted.
She realized that she still dared not fight and was afraid of losing, which is why she had been mired in the shadows. Zhao Yanzǐ was like a small ice crystal, clear and cool, no wonder Hao Ren liked her.
"Alright!" Xie Yujia responded with a smile. Her mental block had instantly vanished.
Since she had already publicly declared that she liked Hao Ren, there were no more burdens to bear in front of him or Zhao Yanzǐ; likewise, there was no turning back.
Hao Ren's words might have been a bit excessive, but they were also straightforward. He didn't use flowery language or make grand promises—he was simply working hard at what he believed in.
"Humph! If you have time, come over for dinner at my place. My mom wants to invite you."
She disliked Xie Yujia not because of her personality, but because of her ambiguous attitude towards Hao Ren and her confusing behavior.
Xie Yujia liking Hao Ren made her unhappy; if she didn't like him but still clung to him, it was worse—hatred.
More girls would start to like Hao Ren as time went on, just like in Zhao Yanzǐ's junior high school days when there were already some who had crushes on Hao Ren.
Zhao Yanzǐ would have small worries and troubles, but she would firmly hold onto Hao Ren. If someone else liked him too, they'd need to show their capabilities!
Hmm hmm, I'm Zhao Yanzǐ, the best! You'll have to defeat me if you want to get close to Hao Ren—sneaking around won't work...
Seeing Zhao Yanzǐ muttering to herself, Xie Yujia couldn't help but smile.
At that moment, Qingfeng Scattered Immortal, who was in seclusion at a simple cave dwelling on the eighth layer of sky, had two balls of intertwined golden and silver runes resembling flames spinning in her palm.
"Humph. So he managed to get two apprentices who follow him around—this brat is quite lucky." Qingfeng Scattered Immortal slowly retracted her palms facing the ground.
She was cultivating on the eighth layer of sky and through the life-and-death runes, she had sensed Xie Yujia's emotional fluctuations. She had activated her divine abilities to check up on Xie Yujia's situation.
Moments ago, she almost wanted to slap Hao Ren into oblivion but then Xie Yujia's mood suddenly improved again.
She had taken in two disciples back when she was still in the mortal world, with Xie Yujia as her first disciple and Zhao Yanzǐ as her second. It just so happened that these two girls were both head-over-heels for Hao Ren, which left her at a loss.
"Forget it... forget it..." Qingfeng Scattered Immortal put her hands on her knees, shook her head, and closed her eyes to continue cultivating.
However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she still felt an unresolved resentment burning inside her.
This kid has a low realm but attracts so much桃花, he must be either a heartbreaker or a little pervert. Qingfeng Sander lightly tapped the ground with his two hands.
Two thin rays of light pierced through the ground and quickly disappeared.
Standing on air swords to reach high altitude, Hao Ren then switched to a treasure ship transformed from the Purple Gold Hairpin. Suddenly, he noticed a golden lightning bolt as thick as his thumb heading straight for his head in mid-air!
*Crack* The protective barrier of the Purple Gold Hairpin instantly shattered.
The golden lightning pierced through the barrier and suddenly struck Hao Ren's crown!
His body and clothes were immediately charred black. He was only at the Earthquake stage, yet he had to resist a heavenly bolt from above!
This strike didn’t kill him but left him half-dead!
Even the Purple Gold Hairpin couldn't withstand such power and descended several hundred meters.
*Boom* The Purple Gold Hairpin stabilized its speed before suddenly taking off again.
Hao Ren felt like all his bones were shattered, with blood flowing in reverse. He had fled to the Fifth Layer of Heaven to cultivate so as not to be lambasted by Zhao Yanzi verbally but never expected to get struck by lightning… *Snap* *Snap* After enduring this bolt, Hao Ren's closed realm suddenly advanced another half-stage and reached the peak Earthquake stage!
Was this happiness or misfortune Even Hao Ren himself couldn’t tell.
All he felt was that speaking his mind made him feel very comfortable when seeing Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi’s expressions.
No matter what they think, I think this way!
I like both of them!
*Whoosh* The Purple Gold Hairpin flew into the Fifth Layer of Heaven.
Misty Mountain Peak looked even more mysterious than before. Just flying around Misty Mountain Peak made one sense the rich spiritual energy in this range of mountains.
However, no one dared to occupy these mountains in the Fifth Layer of Heaven because… This was the territory of Medicine King Ancestor!
Hao Ren rushed into the barrier and leaped inside the cave.
The golden lightning strike just now hit him perfectly, even if it made his whole body ache unbearably, it was a sign of breaking through to a new realm!
Hao Ren had originally planned to cultivate in the Fifth Layer of Heaven until the afternoon tomorrow. Now he wanted to grasp every moment and hurry up.
Luo L琳琳 and Luo 莉莉’s "poison pill plan" sealed all his spiritual energy and even the dragon pearl inside his body. Hao Ren's cultivation was now like that of a human cultivator, with a small golden core slowly forming! Coincidentally overlapping with the spirit orb containing Zhao Haoran’s thousand-year power!
*Gulp* *Gulp* Several snow lion cubs were rolling around on the grass outside.
The sky gradually changed from night to day. Hao Ren had gone through 98 transformations inside his body, yet his skin was still pitch black!
Completely scorched by that bolt of golden lightning!
In a classroom at Donghai University, Xie Yujia looked at the empty seat beside her with a forlorn expression. When Luo L琳琳 and Luo 莉莉 saw Hao Ren not appearing, they felt like something was missing in their hearts.
Su Han, casually pairing a white cotton shirt with a black miniskirt, black stockings, and silver high heels, immediately drew a chorus of wolf whistles as soon as she entered the classroom.
She walked straight into the classroom, placed her lecture notes on the lectern, then raised her gaze to look at the first row.
Hao Ren was not in the front seat directly opposite her lectern.
Su Han's eyes flickered but she didn't ask anything.
She flipped through the lecture notes and turned on the projector, smoothly explaining the course content according to the schedule.
Ta-ta-ta... Outside the classroom, it started raining again. Xie Yujia looked at the rain outside, then glanced at the empty seat next to her, slightly worried.
Without Hao Ren, she felt a big hole in her heart.
Su Han held a pointer stick and pointed to one formula after another on the projector screen, always subconsciously glancing towards Hao Ren's seat.
Hao Ren skipping class made her feel a little anxious too.
She looked at Xu Ke’s position in the far corner of the classroom. Seeing him there, her expression turned cold again.
This subtle change wouldn't be noticed by students who were admiring Su Han's attire and figure.
In Ling Zhao High School, Zhao Yanzi sat near the window with one hand supporting her head, lost in thought as she watched the rain outside.
"Ah Zi!" Luo Ying, who was teaching at that moment, tapped the blackboard with an eraser.
"Oh!" Zhao Yanzi quickly turned around and put on a smile to pay attention to the class.
This reaction made Luo Ying panic—had Ah Zi suddenly become well-behaved or sick
Shhhhhh… A golden light streaked across the sky outside the classroom window.
Hao Ren stood on his Golden Treasure Ship and didn't forget that today was Grandma's return day!
He landed far from the railway station and hurriedly ran towards it.
"Grandma!" Hao Ren immediately spotted Grandma dragging several woven bags.
In just a short period, Grandma looked even better, almost glowing red.
"Ah! Ah Ren!" Grandma stretched out her arms to hug the running Hao Ren and then carefully examined him. "Where did you go Why are you so tanned"
"It's nothing, it'll be back to normal in a few days..." Hao Ren scratched his head. "Dad and Mom have work, so they sent me to pick you up."
"What happened It looks like there’s a small problem If anything is bothering you, talk to Grandma," Grandmother, staring at Hao Ren, suddenly became concerned.
Hao Ren had retreated to the Fifth Heaven just for some peace and quiet; he didn't expect his grandmother would be able to tell.
"Nothing…" Hao Ren awkwardly shook his head.u Lihuo hurry back to their graduate student accommodations. It seemed as though they were silently holding their ground.Upon reaching the first-floor lobby via the escalator, the three of them quicke...
