Chapter 74: Don’t You Have Talents to Show?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Brother Han, someone is looking for you.”
Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about how to farm Anomaly to obtain Yin energy. Yu Niangs voice sounded in the courtyard.
‘Coming.” Han Zhao walked out.
An old servant with a familiar face stood in the courtyard. It was the steward of the Xu residence, Zhou Zheng.
Han Zhao walked forward. “Steward Zhou.”
Steward Zhou cupped his hands and bowed. He smiled and said, ‘Young Master Han, Miss is holding a banquet in the residence. She invites you over.”
Han Zhao was stunned.
A banquet?
Han Zhao looked down at his wrinkled lake-blue clothes and said, “Steward Zhou, you can go back first. I’ll go after changing.”
“The carriage is outside. I’ll wait for you.” Steward Zhou said respectfully.
A carriage?
Han Zhao glanced out the door.
Not far from the door was a luxuriously decorated carriage.
Xinqiao District was not close to the inner city. It would take more than ten minutes to walk there. However, with his strength as a martial artist, he arrived very quickly. It was slower to take a carriage.
“Alright, wait a moment.”
Han Zhao returned to his room to change.
He changed his clothes and walked out of the room.
Yu Niang moved the ladder to the eaves and placed it against the wall. Then, she climbed up the ladder, wanting to take down the dried bologna hanging from the beam.
Han Zhao looked up and saw dark clouds gathering in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain.
“Yu Niang, I won’t be coming back for dinner tonight. Eat by yourself.” Han Zhao walked forward and held the ladder for her. He didnt ask her if she wanted to go with him. After all, she was a little socially afraid of strangers.
“Okay,” Yu Niang replied.
Steward Zhou stood patiently in the courtyard and waited. He was not surprised that Han Zhao had another woman in his house.
It was too normal. This was considered rare.
After putting down the ladder for Yu Niang, Han Zhao walked up to Steward Zhou. “Steward Zhou, you’ve waited for a long time.”
Squeal+
Yu Niang locked the door from the inside.
This was what Han Zhao reminded her every time she went out.
—Name: Yu Niang (Ice Whisper Bird – Half-I)emon)
—Cultivation Method: Life Nurturing Technique (First Level Small Mastery 25%, Upgradeable)
Before leaving, Han Zhao checked her attributes panel. Yu Niangs cultivation speed of the Life Nurturing Technique was much faster than before.
In that case, it should be easier for Xu Ling, who had a better apt.i.tude, to master the First Level of the Life Nurturing Technique.
He had personally experienced how effective true qi was in supporting Internal Force cultivation methods.
Halfway through the journey, heavy rain poured down from the sky. Dense raindrops fell, cracking and crackling on the roof of the carriage.
Han Zhao pushed open the car window. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was already blurry. He looked at the pedestrians running on the street to avoid the rain and smelled the faint fragrance of the Spirit Body Incense in the carriage. A hint of satisfaction surged in his heart.
It was almost the fourth year since he came to this world. He used to love to sleep listening to the rain on rainy days.
“Young Master Han, we’re here.”
After an unknown period of time, Steward Zhou’s voice sounded outside the carriage.
Han Zhao lifted the curtain. The gatekeeper had already opened his umbrella and was waiting in front of the carriage.
After sending Han Zhao to the door of the room in the backyard, Steward Zhou stopped in his tracks. “Young Master Han, please! Miss is inside.”
A melodious flute sound came from the room, and a beautiful rhythm spread in Han Zhao’s ears. In fact, he had heard the flute sound in the corridor just now.
He did not expect Xu Ling to invite a musician. Could it be that she was specially celebrating his birthday?
However, he seemed to have remembered the time wrong.
Han Zhao thought to himself and pushed open the door.
Xu Ling was sitting sideways to the door, playing the flute attentively. Unlike usual, she was wearing various training clothes as her daily clothes. Today, she was wearing a slightly bright pink tube dress with a canvas made of light gauze. Her snow-white and round shoulders were faintly visible under the shawl.
The strapless dress that should have only revealed her collarbone and shoulders was half-exposed on her body.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xu Ling turned around, revealing a delicate face with slightly applied makeup. Her willovvy eyebrows were raised, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with spring, and her red lips were slightly pouted.
Just by looking at her small and round face, he felt that she was filled with the youthful aura of a young girl, and her snow-white and proud figure exuded the mature charm of a young woman.
Han Zhao had interacted with Xu Ling previously because of her cultivation. However, he had never seen such a scene.
“I just found out that you know how to play the flute.” Han Zhao tried his best to appear calm.
However, his gaze had already betrayed him.
“Big Sister taught me when I was at home in the past. Other than the flute, I know a little about the flute.” Xu Ling noticed Han Zhao’s gaze and was slightly shy.
Han Zhao looked at Xu Lings red lips. “Can you play the flute too?”
Xu Ling smiled faintly.
“You’re really multi-talented.” Looking at Xu Lings innocent appearance, Han Zhao was speechless.
“The tune I played just now is called ‘Flying Phoenix’. It’s… and… I’ve already learned that. Tomorrow is your birthday. Tonight.. Xu Ling lowered her eyes.
Although her words were intermittent, how could Han Zhao not understand?
This was the first time someone had celebrated his birthday for him since he came to this world. At this moment, he felt joy and warmth in his heart.
Han Zhao stepped forward.
Xu Ling gripped her clothes tightly, raised her head slightly, and closed her eyes.
However, a manly robe was draped over her body.
“The weather is cold at night. Have you cultivated your Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique to perfection?” Han Zhao wrapped Xu Lings coat and bowed as he sat on the chair opposite her.
“Just a little more,” Xu Ling answered truthfully. She felt that it was different from what she had expected.
“Are there any signs of breaking through to the Blood Tempering Realm?” Han Zhao continued.
“Yes, but I’ve finished the demon snake jerky. I haven’t bought it yet.” Xu Ling nodded.
“I’ll teach you a cultivation method that can increase your chances of breaking through to the Blood Tempering Realm,” Han Zhao said seriously and raised his head slightly.
“Junior Brother Han, you… don’t want to? Will you think that I… ” Xu Lings expression was slightly nervous.
Han Zhao looked at her beautiful face and his breathing was a little heavy. “Currently, combined cultivation should be able to help you break through to the Blood Tempering Realm, but it won’t allow you to obtain greater benefits. Moreover, I haven’t reached the peak of blood qi growth. When your cultivation method is perfected, it’s best if you break through to the Blood Tempering
Realm.”
‘i Understood.” Xu Ling smiled. It sounded like Junior Martial Brother Han was beating around the bush, but looking at his red eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone, it already explained everything.
“Now, don’t seduce me anymore, understand?” Han Zhao wrapped her coat tightly around her.
What a headache!
“Yes!” Xu Ling blushed and smiled. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly revealed a sly expression. “Junior Brother Han, are you feeling very uncomfortable?”
“You!” Han Zhao stood up and lifted the coat that was draped over Xu Ling.
“Junior Brother Han?”
“Follow me!” Han Zhao pulled her into the inner room.
“What… are you doing?
“Don’t you have the talent to show?”
“What?”
“In addition to playing the flute, I want to see you play my flute.” “You just said that you wanted to teach me a cultivation method…’
“It’s my birthday tomorrow. Let’s get down to business first!” Han Zhao pinched Xu Lings face and pretended to be fierce.
