Chapter 310: It’s Too Late to Regret
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“Huh?” Hao Ren couldn’t keep up with her thoughts.
Zhao Yanzi, who was holding the wooden badges, suddenly got excited, “Fifth Heaven. Last time when we visited the Nine Dragon Palace, didn’t we go up there?”
Because of the Nine Dragon Palace incident, she started to know more about Fifth Heaven. Now, since Hao Ren has reached Zhen-level, his cultivation process was equal to a human cultivator’s Core Formation Realm. Also, with the two ident.i.ty badges they got, it wasn’t hard to understand why she came up with this new idea.
On Fifth Heaven, there were floating spirit mountains and sect. Compare to the GreenStone Mountain that they visited last time, it was way more entertaining!
She had already been bored for two days. When she was visiting Hao Ren’s home, she encountered Xie Yujia who was staying at Hao Ren’s home, and it made her feel extremely miserable.
“Go to Fifth Heaven…”
Zhao Yanzi’s suggestion also tempted Hao Ren.
He didn’t know that the two men he captured today came from Fifth Heaven and were investigating the East Ocean City. Moreover, he didn’t observe the attribute of their cultivation techniques. Of course, if they had reached Zhen-level as well, Hao Ren might not be able to find out which elemental techniques they cultivated.
As Hao Ren was indecisive, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but reach her arm across the table and pull on his sleeve. “Let’s go up there and play!”
Hao Ren thought about it for a moment. “If we are going up there, we have to ask your mom…”
“What!” Zhao Yanzi disagreed. “If we ask her, she will definitely disagree!”
In fact, Hao Ren wanted to go to Fifth Heaven as well. Last time when he went to the Nine Dragon Palace, he only got to spend a few moments on Fifth Heaven and only saw the general environment. Later, when he was accompanied by the Lu’s sisters and went to the Trading Convention on Fifth Heaven, he couldn’t get a clear view since it was nighttime.
“Then… How are we getting up there?” Hao Ren was convinced and asked her with a soft tone.
“Doesn’t my mom have that painting? She normally doesn’t use it at all, so I can steal it, and we would be able to use it temporarily,” Zhao Yanzi lowered her voice and said.
Since she started cultivating again, she was getting braver by the second.
“That’s not a good plan,” Hao Ren shook his head and refused, “What about this; I will summon Little White and let it take us up there. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, then we will forget about it.”
Zhao Yanzi stared at Hao Ren and thought about it for a few seconds. “Alright, let’s try it.”
If Hao Ren were willing to plot this with her, she was not afraid that he would suddenly decide to quit. Even though she complained about Hao Ren all the time, she did trust Hao Ren’s ability to get things done, such as baking sweet potatoes.
“When are we going up there then?” Hao Ren asked.
“What are we waiting for? Now of course!” Zhao Yanzi stared at Hao Ren with her big eyes as if she was about to eat him alive.
It was Monday the next day, so it wouldn’t be easy for her to sneak out of the school since she had cla.s.ses during the day. If they went during the night, not only would it be dangerous, Fifth Heaven would also be covered in darkness. If they couldn’t see anything, what was the point of them going there anyway?
On the other hand, since they had a few hours during lunch, they could sneak to Fifth Heaven without being noticed by Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Yanzi’s plot was well planned.
Zhao Yanzi could not wait to go there, and Hao Ren also wanted to visit Fifth Heaven. So, he took his phone out and called Xie Yujia, who was at home.
“h.e.l.lo? Yujia,” Hao Ren said as the call was answered.
Zhao Yanzi, who was sitting across from Hao Ren, pouted as she realized that he was calling Xie Yujia.
However, Hao Ren wasn’t bothered by her reaction as he continued, “Yujia, is Little White next to you? Oh, it’s stealing the sausage from the fridge? Can you ask Zhen Congming to bring Little White to the city and find me… Um, nothing, you can stay at home and spend some time with Grandma.”
Hao Ren hung up the phone quickly, but Zhao Yanzi was still staring at him fiercely
“Little White was staying at home. That’s why I had to call Yujia and ask her,” Hao Ren explained.
Now Little White had more freedom than before. Since it started relying on Zhen Congming, it acted more like his follower instead of Hao Ren’s spirit beast.
Boom!
Not long after Hao Ren put his phone away, Zhen Congming and Little White landed heavily on the ground outside the window.
A small pit appeared on the road as Little White shattered the cement road with its paws a little.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were both shocked as they did not expect Little White to arrive so soon.
“This stupid Zhen Congming doesn’t even know how to restrain himself in this mortal world!” Hao Ren thought to himself.
Fortunately, the restaurant was in a quiet location, and no one saw Zhen Congming and Little White’s rough landing. Those who worked at the restaurant thought the loud banging noise came from the construction site nearby.
Through the window, Zhen Congming waved at Hao Ren. Hao Ren quickly pulled Zhao Yanzi out of the restaurant as he was worried that Zhen Congming was going to cause trouble.
He was afraid that Zhao Yanzi would be hostile toward Xie Yujia if she saw her. Therefore, he asked Zhen Congming to bring Little White over. However, he did not expect that the landing to be that powerful.
These two beasts couldn’t do anything good when they were together.
“Why did you ask Little White to come here?” Zhen Congming raised his head to look at Hao Ren and asked.
“We are going to Fifth Heaven. Do you want to come with us?” Zhao Yanzi asked immediately.
Zhao Yanzi had met Zhen Congming a few times before and knew about his affluent background; even her parents had to pay him respect. Therefore, she decided to ask him to join the group.
“Fifth Heaven? What’s so good about that place. If you want to go, go to Ninth Heaven instead!” Zhen Congming said arrogantly.
“Stop bluffing! You aren’t even brave enough to go to Fifth Heaven!” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Who said I am not brave enough?!” Zhen Congming got mad, “I have been to Fifth Heaven more than twenty times already!”
Although Zhen Congming was considered a super demon beast according to his years of cultivation, it hasn’t been long since he successfully transformed into the human force. Therefore, he didn’t know much about the ways of the world since he had always been with his master. How could he argue with Zhao Yanzi, a middle school student with many ideas?
All Zhao Yanzi had to do to trick him was to call him a coward.
“Alright then, we will go to Fifth Heaven and see if you really are familiar with the place!” Zhao Yanzi said.
“How can I not be familiar with that place!” Zhen Congming pulled out his black disk-like flight dharma treasure from his pocket.
Hao Ren stood aside and chuckled. The way Zhao Yanzi was irritating Zhen Congming was similar to the way Hao Ren used to irritate Zhao Yanzi. Hao Ren was more experienced than Zhao Yanzi, and Zhao Yanzi was more experienced than Zhen Congming.
“Put up an energy sphere!” Hao Ren reminded Zhen Congming while he was formed his own. He grabbed Zhao Yanzi’s arm and sat on Little White’s back.
Shoo!
Zhen Congming flew straight up into the sky and left behind a black trail.
“Little White, follow him!” Hao Ren tapped on Little White’s head.
Little White’s paws were lit up with colorful lights. With the protection of the red energy sphere, they started flying toward Zhen Congming.
Hao Ren thought that all they had to do was fly upward and they would enter Fifth Heaven. However, he was not familiar with the environment of Fifth Heaven. Now, he was less worried since Zhen Congming was there to lead the way.
Zhen Congming had the mind of a typical child. Therefore, he was easy to get along with as long as he wasn’t angered.
On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi, who was sitting in front of Hao Ren, did not know that Little White’s speed got so fast. As she looked down at the city that was disappearing below the clouds, she couldn’t help but get a little scared.
She slightly leaned backward as her shoulders touched Hao Ren’s chest, and her head was under his jaw.
Hao Ren wasn’t playing with her at the moment either. He wrapped his arms around her hips and held her hands, using his arms to hold her body still.
If she fell from this height, which was about several thousand meters above the air, there was no way that Zhao Yanzi could survive; she was still in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Zhao Yanzi’s heart was beating fast. Even though she was terrified of the fast speed, she didn’t want to show her fear. All she could do was try to pull it through.
Right at this moment, Hao Ren suddenly reached out, and she held onto his hands without any hesitation.
The feeling was like standing on the wings of a plane that was flying at a high alt.i.tude, not to mention that Little White’s back wasn’t as s.p.a.cious as the wings of an aircraft. Even a full-grown adult would be terrified, let alone Zhao Yanzi who was a middle school student.
However, when Hao Ren was holding her tightly, she wasn’t irritated by his action; instead, a sense of security appeared in her mind.
Little White’s speed was way faster than the speed of an aircraft!
Zhao Yanzi’s back was firmly pressed against Hao Ren’s chest, and her hands were holding his tightly
“Little White, stop for a moment,” Hao Ren rubbed its ears with his fingers.
Little White, who just received the order, suddenly stopped and hovered in mid-air. The sudden stop almost threw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi off its back.
Noting that they were ten thousand meters above the ground, Hao Ren, who clenched onto Little White with his legs hurriedly, was covered in cold sweat due to fear.
Since Hao Ren had wrapped his arms around Zhao Yanzi’s belly, she wasn’t thrown off of Little White either.
While they were hovering in mid-air, Zhao Yanzi sighed and was too afraid to look down. In fact, even if she looked down, all she could see was layers of thick clouds.
This alt.i.tude was much higher compared to the alt.i.tude she was at when she was summoning the rainfalls. If measured carefully, they were at the height of Third or Fourth Heaven already.
Zhao Yanzi closed her eyes slightly while her eyelashes twitched. She didn’t want to go back on her words since she came up with the idea of going to Fifth Heaven. However, she couldn’t control her body as it was s.h.i.+vering slightly.
Hao Ren grabbed her shoulders softly and picked her up before turning her around.
“Hey… You…” Zhao Yanzi tried to ask, but her tone was soft; she didn’t sound as tough as she used to.
“It’s better when you are facing this way,” Hao Ren put her back on Little White and made her face toward himself before he gently held her shoulders.
“Let’s go, Little White!” Hao Ren slapped Little White’s b.u.t.t.
Little White continued to fly upward. Today, Little White was equivalent to four top-tier flight dharma treasures that were reinforcing each other. If it weren’t carrying Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, it could fly past Zhen Congming in an instant!
As Little White started to accelerate, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but threw herself into Hao Ren’s arm, hugging his waist tightly with her arms.
That was the only time she showed her girly nature.
Her slightly quivering eyelashes, her two white front teeth that were biting her lips, and her cheeks that turned red because of the cold…
Zhao Yanzi looked just like a little bunny when she was wearing this white T-s.h.i.+rt.
