Chapter 238: The Power of the Old Grandma
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Holding Xie Yujia stiffly, Hao Ren’s mind was blank; feeling her soft shoulders in his palms, he was at a loss for words!
Xie Yujia’s tears showed her true feelings. Hao Ren had always thought of her as a strong and independent girl and had never imagined she would look so fragile!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood on the side and pursed their lips; the old grandma didn’t make any moves as people had expected.
Little White ran around Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, howling anxiously.
“It’s hard to leave my cla.s.smate, but I have to go.” With tears all over her face, Xie Yujia pushed away from Hao Ren, sobbing. She stared at him for a long while. “I used to like Little Older Brother, and now I like Hao Ren. I can’t and don’t want to get over my feelings.”
She rubbed her reddened nose. “I wish everything well with you and Zi, your parents and grandma.”
Hao Ren found her gaze full of hesitation and sadness.
Staring at him, she bit her lip and suddenly rushed over and wound her arms around him.
She held him in front of hundreds of people, crying her heart out. Hao Ren’s mind was in a buzz, not able to think clearly.
“Gongzi, it’s almost time to get back,” Lu Linlin took two steps forward and said.
The old grandma also walked forward and pulled Xie Yujia into her arms.
Swoos.h.!.+ Lu Linlin tossed out a bracelet, lifting the three of them up.
Before they left, they revealed their true powers as masters of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Qian Level and Kun Level were both equivalents to the Nascent Soul Realm. For the dragon cultivators, the higher level the cultivators were in, the more difficult for them to elevate. And that was why the Dragon Clan had a more detailed level system.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were at the low-tier Qian Level which was the equivalent of the top-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
The watching cultivators of Foundation Establishment Realm were stunned.
Seeing the two masters of top-tier Nascent Soul Realm serving the young man deferentially, they wondered if the young man was a grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm!
The cultivators of Soul Formation Realm were the legendary grandmasters who could fly freely between the sky and the earth!
Thinking back when the young man led the maids disguised in Foundation Establishment Realm wandering among them, the cultivators of Foundation Establishment Realm s.h.i.+vered with fear.
With masters of top-tier Nascent Soul Realm as maids, the young man must be a grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm! That explained why the other top-tier master of Nascent Soul Realm had not made a move when the young man messed with her disciple!
The more they thought about it, the more convinced they felt.
Meanwhile, the old grandma looked at the lost expression on Xie Yujia’s face and touched her head with a slight sigh. Then she vanished in a golden flash with Xie Yujia.
The overwhelming Nature Essence instantly filled the whole s.p.a.ce between the sky and the earth!
Boom! A huge hole appeared in the s.p.a.ce between Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven!
She was a cultivator of the Soul Formation Realm! One slight strike from a grudging cultivator of the Soul Formation Realm had pierced the s.p.a.ce between the sky and the earth!
The thousands of cultivators including the tens of Core Formation Realm cultivators at the Trading Convention were dumbfounded!
If the strike had been aimed at the venue of the Trading Convention, the thousands of cultivators would have all died, and the whole celestial mountain would have been shattered.
Oblivious to the old grandma’s anger at Fifth Heaven, Hao Ren returned to land with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. He went back to his hotel room through the window, stilling mulling over Xie Yujia’ s embrace.
Seeing Lu Linlin and Lu Lili still standing in his room, Hao Ren asked, “Why are you still here?”
“Gongzi, it’s midnight. Do you really want two girls to return at this hour?” Lu Linlin pouted.
Hao Ren glanced at them in resignation, knowing no one was their match under Fifth Heaven.
On second thought, he felt it would be inconsiderate to drive them back in the midnight. He nodded, saying, “You have to share a bed. Or I’ll put two chairs together, and I sleep on them, so you can each have a bed.”
“Thank you, Gongzi!” Lu Linlin smiled joyously. “My sister and I can share a bed!”
She had known Hao Ren wouldn’t drive them out. Lu Lili covered her smile at her sister’s smug look.
The two girls are outrageous. When they went into the bathroom in excitement, Hao Ren hurriedly changed out of his Taoist robe and into his pajamas before slipping under the covers.
He turned on the TV and found it was already 4 o’clock in the early morning, which meant morning would come in less than three hours
The sound of the shower came from the bathroom. If Zhou Liren and others had known the School Belles were showering and spending the night in Hao Ren’s room, blood would probably have spewed from their noses.
Although he had no intense feelings for Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, Hao Ren was quite fond of them and agreed to most of their requests.
Ruff! Ruff!
Little White bounced on the thick carpet before jumping into Hao Ren’s bed.
Hao Ren lifted it by its ears and tossed it back to the floor. This creature had been spoiled since it came into the city and had formed the habit of sleeping on a bed.
Being tossed out by Hao Ren from his soft bed, Little White trotted to the bathroom and loitered at the opaque gla.s.s door.
“Hey! Little White, you can’t peek when the girls are taking a shower!” Hao Ren yelled at it.
Little White looked back at Hao Ren and turned its black eyes back to the opaque gla.s.s door.
Hao Ren was choked by its glance, retorting silently, “I don’t want to peek at them…”
Then, the door slid open, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili came out of the steaming bathroom, wrapped in towels and shower robes.
Seeing Little White waiting at the door, they immediately picked it up.
Happily, Little White rubbed its furry head against their smooth skin and snuggled into the bed of the sisters’ under Hao Ren’s astonished and disdainful gaze.
Ruff! Ruff!
In the bed, Little White began to crawl around under the covers, and Hao Ren had the sudden urge to grab it and gave it a good beating!
“Haha! Little White, stay still!” Itchy with its furs, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili pulled it from behind their backs.
Little White stuck out its tongue and began to lick their arms!
After half a night together, it had forgotten entirely about the Lu sisters’ threats. It abandoned Hao Ren and took the Lu sisters as its patronesses!
Time ticked away, and Hao Ren woke up at seven in the morning.
He turned to look at the other bed and found Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were sleeping in each other’s arms. Their sweet and peaceful look was a picture to look at.
Exhausted by half a night’s labor, Little White was also asleep on their beautiful hair, snoring contently.
Without their cultivation strength, the twin sisters would have been two ordinary and adorable girls. Hao Ren got up from the bed quietly. He entered the bathroom to wash up and change out of his pajamas.
With little sleep, he still felt dizzy. Walking to the window, he pulled the curtains to a small crack and stared at the road outside, savoring the moment when Xie Yujia held him in her arms.
Although he didn’t understand her emotional outburst, he couldn’t forget the feeling when she held him.
“Zhao Yanzi…” Hao Ren murmured the name and touched the cold window sill lightly. If not for Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren would have begun a slow and reasonable pursuit of Xie Yujia or “Little Carrot” or the Cla.s.s President.
Xie Yujia was lively, pure, kind and able; she was almost perfect. By contrast, Zhao Yanzi was spoiled and willful.
Rubbing his temples, Hao Ren turned around and found Lu Lili had woken up and was staring at him quietly in the bed.
Lu Lilli blushed when Hao Ren turned abruptly, whispering, “Gongzi…”
“Shus.h.!.+” Hao Ren gestured. “Go back to sleep.”
“Ok.” Lu Lili nodded obediently and lay back on the bed.
Before she lay down, she blurted out, “Gongzi, is anything troubling you?”
“Nothing. I just feel frustrated that my cultivation has not progressed recently. Lili, do you want some breakfast? I’ll bring you some from the café in the hotel,” Hao Ren said.
“Cultivation progress slows down with a troubled mind. Gongzi, I guess you are not troubled by cultivation, right?” Lu Lili asked, looking at Hao Ren with her bright and gentle eyes.
“Am I too hesitant on some things?” Hao Ren asked her.
“Gongzi, you are soft-hearted, so…” Lu Lili bit her lip slightly. “But it’s not a shortcoming. If you are a careless man, we wouldn’t have stayed by your side.”
Hao Ren looked at her and smiled.
Lu Lili blushed, wondering if she said something right.
With a slight sigh, Hao Ren walked out of the room and closed the door quietly behind him.
He went to the café for breakfast. Ordering three pieces of steamed bread and a bowl of soya-bean milk, he began to eat quietly in a corner by the windows.
Carrying a plate of steamed buns, Xie Yujia appeared in front of him.
Flowing long skirt, short black boots, and a pale grey windbreaker.
Cla.s.sic, elegant, pretty but also lonely.
She was surprised to see Hao Ren. Hao Ren waved at her.
She carried the plate of steamed buns over to his table and took the seat across from him.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Hao Ren asked.
“Not bad.” Xie Yujia nodded slightly before looking up at Hao Ren abruptly. “Last night, I had a strange dream in which the old grandma talked and took me to a wondrous place.”
“Oh?” Hao Ren arched his eyebrows.
“I saw you in my dream,” Xie Yujia continued after a few seconds of hesitation.
Looking at her, Hao Ren understood. Xie Yujia had not controlled her emotion with him because she thought it was a dream. In the dream, she thought about her imminent departure and burst into tears.
Although she could control herself in real life, she had opened her heart when she thought she was in a dream.
“What did you dream about last night?” Xie Yujia asked him.
“Ugh, nothing unusual,” Hao Ren said.
Xie Yujia stared at him and thought for a while. “The weirdest thing was not the dream, but this.”
She reached out her hand, and there was a clear white jade bracelet on her wrist!
