Chapter 286: Super Cute Beauty

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

While Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were flying toward the school on Little White’s back, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were visiting the old Grandma in her house.

One shabby desk, one worn-out bed, and three cups of tea.

The Lu sisters had been sitting across from the old Grandma for more than two hours.

The old Grandma remained silent, and the Lu sisters also stayed silent.

“You two have the cultivation strengths of Three Lotus Petals,” the old Grandma finally spoke.

“Elder, you have a cultivation of Four Lotus Petals, right?” Lu Linlin said.

“Almost.” The old Grandma picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Politely, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili also picked up their cups and sipped.

In the teacup was high-quality Tiger Club Grass which was a spiritual herb with the effect of steadying people’s nerves.

“In the mortal world, there are specific rules. You must abide by the rules even if you don’t belong to this world,” the old Grandma put down her teacup and said slowly.

“Elder, do you want to send us back?” Lu Linlin stared at the old Grandma and asked in a measured tone.

Sitting next to her sister, Lu Lili blinked.

The old Grandma shook her head. “I invited you to my place to discuss the necessity for you to abide by the rules.”

“Rules?” Lu Linlin looked at the old grandma in defiance. “You almost hurt our Gongzi last time, and we haven’t held you accountable yet!”

“Since we can’t agree with each other, then more talking is useless.” The old Grandma waved her hand.

A strong wind lifted Lu Linlin and Lu Lili up.

The shabby house was obviously the old Grandma’s Xumi Space. Before they could react, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were tossed out of the house.

“Sister, she’s so fierce!” Lu Lili looked back at the house and said.

When she was in the house a moment ago, she was almost out of breath under the aggressive suppression.

“Humph! We are no match for her right now! We have to endure her for now!” Lu Linlin pulled her sister up into the sky with a five-colored energy sphere around them.

Although they were top-tier masters in East Ocean City, they were no match for the grandmaster of the Soul Formation Realm.

At their levels, they didn’t need a battle to test each other’s strength. By emitting auras, they get a feel of rival’s cultivation strength.

The combined strength of the sisters was no match for the old Grandma!

Also, the old Grandma knew quite a lot of things about the Heavenly Realm that was above Ninth Heaven.

Meanwhile, Hao Ren walked Xie Yujia to her dorm building. After putting Little White away, he returned to his own dorm with the disc.

He borrowed Chen Ke’s laptop from the other dorm again to watch the content on the disc Zhao Yanzi gave him.

As predicted, the disc was a video of Zhao Yanzi’s performance from last night.

In her fancy dress and tight-fitting jacket, Zhao Yanzi looked vibrant.

When watching the video, he had a different feeling than when he watched the play in the auditorium.

Zhao Yanzi’s performance was quite good.

Her presence on the stage was grand and fearless. Occasionally, her eyes scanned the audience as if she was looking for someone.

“Silly girl… you were distracted during your performance?” Hao Ren almost laughed as he watched.

In the second half, Zhao Yanzi was more focused and recited the long lines smoothly while her movements and expressions were more natural and accurate.

Her crisp voice was ear-pleasing; one couldn’t get tired of hearing it.

When the video ended, it was almost time for the curfew. Exhaling deeply, Hao Ren thought that Zhao Yanzi was indeed a cute girl.

He was about to stand up when he saw a group of guys standing behind him.

“Damn! What are you all doing?” Hao Ren was startled.

With his cultivation strength on Zhen-level, he didn’t even notice that a group of guys was standing behind him! He had been taken by the video.

“Wow! Who’s this little beauty? She is so cute!”

“Super cute!”

“And her voice is great. Which school’s play is this?”

“She must be more adorable in person!”

“Is it a viral video? How come I’ve never seen it before? Hao Ren, where did you get it?”

The moment the video ended, they immediately talked animatedly among themselves.

Hao Ren didn’t answer their questions. Quickly, he removed the disc from the laptop before putting it away.

The guys tried to grab the disc from his hands, but Hao Ren stopped them.

“Please loan it to me. I’ll make a copy and return it to you!”

“It will go viral if we post it online!”

As they talked, they looked at the disc with coveting glances. However, Hao Ren got up to his upper berth and placed the disc under his pillow.

He planned to bring the disc back home this weekend to show it to Grandma. He guessed it was one of Zhao Yanzi’s intentions when she gave him the disc.

“Forget it! We’ll search for it online. She must be a new star on the web!” Seeing Hao Ren hide the disk, the guys rolled their eyes before going away.

They didn’t believe that Hao Ren would know such a cute girl; they had already forgotten that Zhao Yanzi had once come to East Ocean University.

However, Zhao Yanzi did look quite different on the stage. Besides, the guys only had a vague impression of her and couldn’t make the link.

“It would be great to have such a girl as a girlfriend!”

“You pervert! She is a teenager!”

“I can wait!”

“You guys know nothing! Tons of middle schoolers are dating these days! A lot of them are dating high-schoolers.”

They walked out of Hao Ren’s bedroom while talking.

If they had known that the super cute beauty was, in fact, Hao Ren’s fiancée, they would probably have climbed up to his upper berth and strangled him in jealousy.

Hao Ren spent half the night cultivating and the other half sleeping. Thursday morning came in the blink of an eye.

Su Han’s course was still taught by the substitute teacher. During the class, the guys got sleepy, and none of them tried to grab the seats in the front. At Zhao Jiayi and other buddies’ urgings, Hao Ren sat in the front row with Xie Yujia and Ma Lina. Not wanting to be the third-wheeler, Ma Lina sat with Zhao Jiayi and the others in the back.

After the class began, Xie Yujia was engrossed in taking notes while Hao Ren flipped through the Grade 8 Math Practice Booklet and prepared the night’s materials for Zhao Yanzi.

They didn’t look like a couple in love. Instead, they had returned to the relationship of childhood sweethearts.

In the evening, they took the bus together and headed to Zhao Yanzi’s home.

The setting sun was as beautiful as a picture. Looking quietly at the scene outside the window, Xie Yujia said abruptly, “You were quite thorough with the preparations for Zhao Yanzi.”

Hao Ren’s mind had been on other stuff. Hearing her words, he looked up with a bitter smile. “It’s useless since she’s not serious with her studies.”

“Actually, she is a sensible girl. It’s just that sometimes she is too combative,” Xie Yujia said.

“Sensible? She’s sensible?” Hao Ren had his doubt.

The bus arrived, and they walked to Zhao Yanzi’s home together.

Today, Zhao Guang was also home. Zhao Hongyu prepared a lot of dishes for them.

“Uncle, Auntie.” Seeing Zhao Guang’s stern face, Xie Yujia was a bit nervous. She greeted them respectfully.

“Hehe, come in and take a seat.” Zhao Hongyu greeted Xie Yujia warmly and ushered her and Hao Ren into the house.

Zhao Yanzi had returned home from school. She sat on the couch with the TV remote control in her hand, ignoring Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.

Hao Ren looked at her closely and found no special radiance. However, her temperament felt different from yesterday.

Her eyes were brighter, and her delicate skin looked smoother. Although she sat on the couch leisurely, a vibrant, youthful energy emitted from her.

“Come on, the dinner is ready! We will be troubling you two to tutor Little Zi after dinner.” Zhao Hongyu held Xie Yujia’s hand and pulled her to the dinner table.

Her words were aimed at Xie Yujia. After all, after two hours of tutoring, Zhao Yanzi had reached level 1 of the Qi Refinement Realm in one night.

The progress looked insignificant, but it was important to Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu!

It meant that Zhao Yanzi could still cultivate despite her loss of the dragon core! She could get on a brand-new road of cultivation.

The more solid her cultivation foundation was, the better odds she would have in successfully receiving the dragon core in the future.

Zhao Hongyu was moved by Xie Yujia’s sincerity in tutoring Zhao Yanzi despite the latter’s prejudice against her.

“Auntie, you are too kind.” Xie Yujia was a bit overwhelmed by Zhao Hongyu’s warmth. She sat at the dinner table, blushing.

Zhao Guang sat at the table expressionlessly with the temperament of the family head.

However, when he happened to see the faint fluctuations of nature essence around Zhao Yanzi this morning, he was more excited than anyone else!

Since Zhao Yanzi was back on the road of cultivation, she would be able to take elixir pills without any side effects, and she wouldn’t be as fragile as a mortal.

“Yujia, did you go to LingZhao Middle School in the past?” Zhao Hongyu chatted with Xie Yujia while they ate.

“Yes, Auntie,” Xie Yujia answered politely, a bit reserved.

“Ms. Luo is very proud of you. You must have been the top student in LingZhao Middle School back then…”

The conversation was all centered around Xie Yujia, and Zhao Yanzi who busied herself with eating got more and more grumpy.

Zhao Guang kept the stern look as the family head while he ate, and his presence made Zhao Yanzi not daring enough to throw a tantrum.

Afraid that Xie Yujia would regard her as a nagging mom, Zhao Hongyu turned on the TV after consulting with Zhao Guang.

On TV, the local news was being broadcasted.

“A couple of days ago, LingZhao Middle School set a new standard for liberal education by producing a school play…”

The news attracted the attention of the people at the dinner table.

“Mom! It’s me!” Zhao Yanzi yelled in excitement.

At the center of the stage, Zhao Yanzi in the company of the boy playing Romeo looked like a beautiful princess. The scene immediately caught the eyes of Hao Ren and the others.

Hao Ren looked at the Zhao Yanzi on TV before glancing at her from across the table and found that her temperament had indeed improved.

This news report that was about a dozen seconds ended quickly, but Zhao Yanzi’s excitement was not abated.

Half a minute later, Zhao Hongyu’s cell phone began to receive calls one after another.

“Hehe, it’s ok. As a girl, it was a good challenge for her…”

“You are too kind. And your Qianqian is also pretty…”

“No! There are no plans for national performances. Ok, I’ll bring her when we have dinner next time. And you must bring Yuyu; she’s almost five years old now, right?”

Zhao Hongyu finally ended the last incoming call.

Obviously, they came from Zhao Hongyu’s friends who had watched the news. Zhao Hongyu sounded modest, but her smiles showed that she was quite proud.

“Zi’s performance that day was indeed excellent,” Xie Yujia took the opportunity to praise her.

Glancing at Xie Yujia, Zhao Yanzi wanted to retort but controlled herself. After all, she was secretly pleased with Xie Yujia’s compliment.

Seeing Zhao Yanzi’s full-blown excitement, Hao Ren didn’t flatter her. Instead, he said calmly, “It was ok.”

Instantly, Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at him.

After dinner, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia walked upstairs with Zhao Yanzi, one teaching her the basic cultivation technique while the other tutoring her school work.

Due to her appearance on the news, Zhao Yanzi was still excited while subconsciously thinking about her classmates’ reactions when she goes to school tomorrow. So, she didn’t act defiantly with Xie Yujia; instead, she followed Xie Yujia’s guidance and circulated the Qi Refinement Scroll.

Then, she quickly finished the test papers Hao Ren gave her without any conditions. In the middle of her work, she got a call from Little Ling and chatted with her for more than ten minutes.

On the other side of the line, Little Ling predicted that Zhao Yanzi would become a big movie star in the future, and Zhao Yanzi was so happy that she rolled on her bed while talking to her friend on the phone.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia looked at her in exasperation and amusement.

Knock! Knock! They had finished tutoring and were packing their stuff up when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Zhao Yanzi yelled.

Thinking it was her mom, Zhao Yanzi’s tone was playful. From the look on her face, she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. After all, she was only in Grade 8 thus easily got dizzy with vanity.

However, it was Zhao Guang instead of Zhao Hongyu who walked into the room.

Zhao Yanzi thought her dad would scold her for yelling in the room and immediately sat up.

However, Zhao Guang just glanced at her before turning to Xie Yujia. “Yujia, you want to make elixir pills, right? I’ll take you there.”
