Hao Ren brought Xie Yujia and the other three girls back to East Ocean City on the golden boat.

They had cultivated in Ethereal Summit until the evening, and Zhen Congming didn't come, meaning that he had managed to stay the night in Wu Luoxue's home.

They didn't know that the masters on Sixth Heaven had gone to the outside of Ethereal Summit one by one.

The golden boat traveled through the clouds and landed at the door of Zhao Yanzi's home.

Bang! Hao Ren broke the energy sphere and put away the golden boat before walking Zhao Yanzi into her home.

Zhao Guang was reading the newspaper in the living room while Zhao Hongyu was drawing a design draft on the dinner table.

“You are back.” When Zhao Yanzi entered, Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.

Seeing her parents, Zhao Yanzi ran to Zhao Hongyu swiftly and cried, “Mom!”

She threw herself into Zhao Hongyu's arms and began to cry.

This adventure on Fifth Heaven was so alarmingly dangerous that she had thought that she wouldn't see her parents again. Therefore, all the fear and anxiety in her mind were vented.

If she hadn't made an enemy of Duan Yao, there wouldn't be such a big battle which involved so many people. She felt very guilty.

“What's wrong? Didn't you go out to play?” Seeing her tears, Zhao Hongyu caressed her small head in bafflement.

When she saw that Zhao Yanzi wasn't home, she knew the latter must have gone out to see Hao Ren. Despite her worries about Zhao Yanzi's studies in Grade Nine, she felt like it was a good thing that Zhao Yanzi had gotten more attached to Hao Ren.

“Yeah. I did go out to play.” Zhao Yanzi raised her head and sniffed her red nose while her tears gradually stopped.

“Why did you cry then?” Zhao Hongyu pinched her nose in exasperation.

“No… I… missed you!” Zhao Yanzi lied.

She didn't want to tell her parents about the incident on Fifth Heaven. It was her little secret and her own s.p.a.ce.

Zhao Hongyu rubbed Zhao Yanzi's forehead and turned to look at Hao Ren and others in the living room. “Where did you go?” she asked.

“We went to play in the mountains.” Seeing Zhao Yanzi not telling the truth, Hao Ren had no choice but to cover for her.

“You're in Grade Nine, and you must study hard,” Zhao Guang said.

“Ok…” Zhao Yanzi answered with reluctance and walked toward the stairs.

After staying on Fifth Heaven for two days, she had loads of homework waiting for her.

“How about you guys? Will you stay the night here?” Zhao Hongyu glanced at the others and asked gently.

“I'll pa.s.s.” Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia. “Perhaps Yujia can stay here and keep Zi company.”

“Ah?” Xie Yujia looked at him in surprise.

“Good. Yujia, stay the night here,” Zhao Hongyu said pleasantly.

“Ok…” Xie Yujia nodded at Zhao Hongyu's sincere invitation.

After this incident, the relations.h.i.+p between her and Zhao Yanzi seemed to have improved.

“Zi, what do you think?” Zhao Yanzi asked Zhao Yanzi's opinion on purpose.

After a moment of consideration, Zhao Yanzi answered in a low voice, “Ok.”

“I want her to check my homework,” Zhao Yanzi continued.

“Ok!” Xie Yujia agreed crisply.

Smiling with pleasure, Zhao Hongyu felt like Zhao Yanzi had matured a bit since she no longer refused to accept things she didn't like both in study and life, and she was showing her advantages.

Xie Yujia was gentle and kind, but she was resilient and never gave up. Zhao Yanzi was stubborn and persistent, never admitting defeat without fighting.

Seeing them walked up the stairs one after another, Zhao Hongyu thought that she would love to have a daughter like Xie Yujia. In fact, she cared for both as her daughters.

“Auntie, I'll head back now,” Hao Ren said.

“Ok. Be careful on your way,” Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.

Xie Yujia would share a room with Zhao Yanzi tonight, which would provide an excellent opportunity for them to repair their relations.h.i.+p, and Zhao Hongyu didn't want to keep Hao Ren here to disturb the situation.

She began to plan… With two compet.i.tive girls living in one room, there would be some small compet.i.tions. Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was planning to lend her loose pajamas to Xie Yujia so that Zhao Yanzi wouldn't feel inferior to her rival in terms of…

“Ren, come for dinner when you're free,” Zhao Guang said politely.

Not as sensitive as Zhao Hongyu, he didn't think of the things that might happen between Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi while they were sharing a room. He just had a vague feeling that Hao Ren's realm had improved.

“Ok. Goodbye, Auntie! Uncle!”

Hao Ren stepped onto the golden boat and flew into the high sky instantly with the Lu sisters.

Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang watched Hao Ren's golden boat disappear in the high sky and look at each other in surprise.

Hao Ren's speed of growth had far surpa.s.sed their imaginations.

“Gongzi, the Moon is so round tonight.” Standing on the boat, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili chirped while each of them held one of Hao Ren's arms.

Hao Ren looked up at the Moon and found it was indeed round, remembering that the Moon Festival was near.

The round silver Moon hung in the high sky. When the golden boat pa.s.sed the Moon, it looked like a crescent moon moving pa.s.s a full moon.

“So happy…” Appreciating the night view on the boat, the Lu sisters held Hao Ren's arms tightly.

When Hao Ren returned home, he realized that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang hadn't come back yet, and even Zhen Congming was absent.

After breaking through to top-tier Gen-level, Hao Ren hadn't solidified his realm completely. Tonight, he planned to take three foundation establishment pills and three elevation pills to nurture his dragon core.

The moonlight shone into the room. It was neither hot or cold, a good time for cultivation.

The sword energies shot into the high sky 100 kilometers from the ground to absorb the nature essence bit by bit. After every 18 circulations of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, he took one foundation establishment pill and one elevation pill to solidify his meridians.

Gradually, a vague fragrance rose in the room.

After taking the third foundation establishment pill and the third elevation pill, Hao Ren felt the sleepiness that even his cultivation technique couldn't resist, and the fatigue after the fierce battles on Fifth Heaven overwhelmed him…

A few seconds before he fell asleep, Hao Ren heard the whispers of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

“Silly Sister, the Poison Pill Plan is only effective before Gongzi reaches Dui-level…”

“I'm afraid Gongzi will be displeased…”

Thud!

Hao Ren who had been cultivating fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili lying in bed on either side of him.

Their fragrance filled his nose.

Ocean breezes blew into the room.

Hao Ren tried to get up but felt listless.

He tried to circulate the nature essence in his body and found that his meridians were empty!

He didn't have a trace of nature essence!

In one night, he had returned to the state of a mortal!

If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were not in bed beside him, Hao Ren would suspect that he had been dreaming all along!

“Gongzi…”

Feeling Hao Ren's movements, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili woke up instantly at the same time.

Hao Ren looked at them, remembering that they had acted weirdly last night when they returned home on the golden boat. Pulling his arms from their hands, Hao Ren looked at them and asked, “What happened?”

His heart raced at their fragrance and soft bodies, but he cared more about his cultivation state! He had lost all the cultivation strength that he had acquired through great efforts in one night, and he wondered what would happen to Zhao Yanzi if he couldn't cultivate anymore!

“Gongzi, please don't blame Linlin and Lili…” Lu Linlin pouted.

“What happened?” Hao Ren asked them with a frown.

Despite their antics, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had never done anything outrageous, but it was a big deal to empty all his nature essence!

“Gongzi, don't panic…” With a red face, Lu Lili tried to explain. However, as a slowpoke, she couldn't get the words out quickly.

“It's my idea. My sister had nothing to do with it,” Lu Linlin said as she pushed herself up.

Flushed, she was also worried that Hao Ren would get angry despite her bolder personality.

“Gongzi, this is what happened…” Lu Lili immediately sat up and said, “My sister and I used a secret technique on you when you were asleep, and it will greatly improve your cultivation body type.”

Hao Ren stared at her, waiting for her to continue.

Lu Lili's face turned redder and felt a bit wronged at Hao Ren's stare. “The negative effect of the secret technique is that you will lose your cultivation strength for one week. But one week later, your cultivation strength will return, and your physique will improve greatly to half Immortal Body.”

“Immortal Body?” Hao Ren asked her as he kept his eyes on her.

Lu Lili looked distressed under Hao Ren's stare, and she nodded hurriedly. “With your great speed of cultivation, if you reach Dui-level, the secret technique will be useless. The half Immortal Body is a physique similar ours, and it's the best cultivation physique.”

Hao Ren looked at them and knew that if they told the truth, they did it to help him. In fact, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had been quite busy during the night, forcing out part of their physique to make a small internal core.

Like how demon beasts spit out their internal cores and swallow others' internal core to cultivate, the Lu sisters held the small internal core in their mouths alternatively and nurtured it with the purest nature essence before one of them fed it into Hao Ren's mouth.

After the process, they fell asleep with fatigue, and their realms had fallen from mid-tier Qian-level to the mid-tier Kun-level.

To execute the Poison Pill Plan, they must be at least on Qian-level while Hao Ren must be below Dui-level, which was why they had been cultivating hard to catch up with Hao Ren's speed. With his cultivation speed, Hao Ren would probably break through to Dui-level after one week!

Seeing Hao Ren's surprise, they smiled.

“We like Gongzi very much!”

Mua! Mua!

They each kissed Hao Ren on one side of his cheeks.

They hoped that they could stay by Hao Ren's side forever!
