Chapter 558: The Lu Sisters
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
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 G.o.dly 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 blus.h.i.+ng 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 ident.i.ties.” 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.
