Chapter 223: Too Many!

Boom!

A beam of golden light shot from the tip of the spear.

Hao Ren didn't expect that the spear was able to release his sword energy. He tried to withdraw it, but it was too late.

With a bang, the golden light beam broke the decorative glass in the living room and dashed toward an exquisite china on the shelf!

Su Han shot out her white jade sword immediately and blocked the golden beam.

Looking at the broken glass on the ground, Hao Ren was embarrassed and immediately put away the spear. "Ugh... I didn't expect it would be so powerful. I'll pay you for the broken glass."

Su Han gave him a dirty look. "I'll ask Lu Qing, and he will send for help to fix it." She looked at the long spear in Hao Ren's hand. "A wonderful dharma treasure. It's made of the rare Purple Gold Bamboo which is between metal and wood but none of them; it is indestructible. Where did you get it?"

"It's Zeng Yitao's natal dharma treasure. I grabbed it from him," Hao Ren said.

Su Han was a bit surprised. Although she was not familiar with west ocean, she knew Zeng Yitao, the Crown Prince of West Ocean, was at least Zhen Level. She was surprised that Hao Ren could grab a natal dharma treasure from him.

Hao Ren withdrew his Nature Essence and swung the spear, finding it was indeed magnificent. He looked back at Zhao Yanzi in the bedroom and was relieved that she had not been woken up by the noise of the broken glass.

He had stabbed it casually, and it sent out a powerful surge of sword energy. If not for the restriction of five-elemental dharma treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace, Hao Ren would not have been a match for Zeng Yitao who was a Zhen Level cultivator equipped with natal dharma treasures.

This golden spear could be concealed in the body and would slide out from the palm when faced with an enemy. Hao Ren found it quite dashing just imagining such a scene.

"Your martial arts skills are poor. You need more practice." Su Han reached out and grabbed the long spear from his hands.

Holding it in her hands, the golden spear revealed both gold and silver lights. This offensive dharma treasure used by Su Han would be hundreds, even thousands of times more powerful than when Zeng Yitao used it.

Hao Ren went to the kitchen and got out the broom to clean the floor which was covered in broken pieces of glass. If Su Han had not intercepted the golden beam with her natal dharma treasure, it would have pierced a big hole in the wall of the apartment. If that happened, they would have been able to enjoy the scenic view outside while sitting in the living room...

"Well, it's good to be the Crown Prince of West Ocean since he could get such rare materials for weapons." After Hao Ren cleaned up the broken glass, Su Han tossed the heavy golden spear back to him.

She sounded envious. Even though she was a master of the Qian Level, her natal dharma treasure was only a sword made of Tianluo Godly Jade which was good but definitely not as good as Purple Gold Bamboo.

Only at Zhen Level, Zeng Yitao was in possession of his own natal dharma treasure made with a whole piece of Purple Gold Bamboo which was a rare treasure itself.

With such a spear, a cultivator of the Zhen Level could release the power of Gen Level. That was why Hao Ren could shoot out such a powerful beam of sword energy with a slight circulation of his Nature Essence.

Putting the long spear into his hidden space, Hao Ren found that Little White was sitting on the sofa and looking at him expectantly.

"Is this little guy playing cute?"

Not able to resist Little White's watery eyes and pitiable expression, Hao Ren tossed an Essence Replenishment Pill at it.

Little White jumped up joyously, catching the pink pill with its mouth.

Without tasting it, Little White swallowed the pill. It rolled on the sofa with satisfaction and finally laid on its back contentedly.

"Little White, Little White, where is your dignity as a lion?" Hao Ren walked over and slapped it on its belly.

Little White shrieked and jumped up. Then, it climbed onto Hao Ren's lap and dozed off.

Su Han slowly walked into her cultivation room. She sat down on the mat and began to cultivate.

The second morning, Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes drowsily and found Hao Ren with Little White in his arms sleeping on the recliner.

Her body was still listless, but the dizziness was gone. Seeing the glass of water and medicine on the bedside table, Zhao Yanzi was a little touched.

Ruff! Ruff!

Seeing Zhao Yanzi was awake, Little White lifted its head and suddenly growled joyously.

It wiggled in Hao Ren's arms and woke him up.

"Hey! Little White!" Zhao Yanzi opened her arms for Little White.

Little White kicked Hao Ren and jumped toward Zhao Yanzi. The momentum almost pushed Hao Ren to the ground together with the chair.

"Damn Little White! It is unfaithfulness in the face of a beautiful girl!" Hao Ren cussed while he steadied himself. He walked to Zhao Yanzi and felt her forehead.

In a daze, Zhao Yanzi watched while he felt her forehead and her face flush. Seeing her flushed face, Hao Ren thought she was still feverish. He picked up the glass of water and pills. "Take two more pills."

"No!" Zhao Yanzi pouted.

"Listen!" Hao Ren gave her a hard look.

Seeing his determined expression, Zhao Yanzi relented and took the pills and water glass obediently. She raised her head and swallowed the pills.

Her obedience surprised Hao Ren.

"Are you satisfied now?" Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren, and her fierce look convinced Hao Ren that she had recovered.

Despite that, Hao Ren needed proof of her recovery. He took out a thermometer he bought in the pharmacy yesterday. "Let me take your temperature."

Zhao Yanzi pouted, but at Hao Ren's mild but determined look, she took the thermometer reluctantly and put it into her mouth.

Hao Ren sat beside the bed and looked at her like a supervisor.

A few minutes later, she took out the thermometer from her mouth and handed it to Hao Ren. Then she noticed it had her drool on it; she was ashamed, but it was too late for her to rub it off.

Hao Ren didn't seem to mind it; he looked carefully at the mark on the thermometer. "Well, 38 degrees. The fever has abated a bit but not completely. Today, you stay here and rest."

"You..." Zhao Yanzi couldn't bear it anymore. "When did you become my supervisor?"

"Your parents are not here, and it's my responsibility to supervise, no, to take care of you." Hao Ren put away the thermometer. "Remember to take your temperature at noon. If you're still feverish, take some more pills."

Zhao Yanzi looked at him in a daze. She wanted to retort but found there was not enough strength in her. Her heart suddenly felt warm.

"And this is some herbal powder; remember to take it, too." Hao Ren picked up a green packet of medicine and poured its content into her water glass.

"You're annoying! Ok, I'll take it!" Seeing Hao Ren had become such a nag, Zhao Yanzi didn't bother to argue with him. She took the glass and poured the medicine into her mouth.

"Cough!" Suddenly, she choked, and some water spewed from her nose.

Hao Ren immediately leaned over to take the water glass from her hand, patting her on the back. "Are you ok?"

While he was wiping water from her mouth, Zhao Yanzi looked at him strangely. Without warning, she bit lightly on Hao Ren's neck.

The wet feeling was more of a kiss than a bite.

With the water glass in his hand, Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.

"It's nothing. Just a thank-you for taking care of me." Zhao Yanzi looked away.

Ugh... Hao Ren touched his neck and stood up, confused. "I... will go and buy you some breakfast."

Seeing Little White's greedy and expectant gaze on him, Hao Ren sighed and tossed an Essence Replenishment Pill at it.

Little White jumped up joyously and swallowed it.

"Well... It seemed the stock of a dozen Essence Replenishment Pills would quickly run out at this speed."

Zhao Yanzi pulled up the quilt and laid back in bed. Little White jumped up happily and snuggled into the quilt, too.

With the water glass in his hand, Hao Ren stood there while his heart raced.

Exhaling deeply, he touched his neck subconsciously. With his eyes on Zhao Yanzi who lay in the quilt motionlessly, he backed out of the bedroom.

When he walked into the living room, he smelled a delicious scent. Following the smell, he found that Su Han was making breakfast in an apron!

Looking at her cold and earnest expression, Hao Ren became nervous and suspected that she was cultivating a difficult technique. He walked over and saw that she was, in fact, frying eggs!

And the eggs had been burned!

At Hao Ren's approach, Su Han immediately dumped the two burned eggs into the garbage can. However, from the corner of his eyes, Hao Ren saw six to seven burned eggs in the garbage can.

Su Han coughed slightly. "Zi is awake?"

Obviously, she was trying to distract him from the burned eggs. Not wanting to embarrass her, he nodded. "She woke up a moment ago. If you have no class today, would you stay home and take care of her?"

"Ok." Su Han gripped the pan which had begun to smoke.

"I'll... go downstairs to buy some breakfast." Hao Ren walked to the door. It dawned on him that none of them had eaten anything last night, and his stomach grumbled in complaint. The only one with a full stomach among the four of them was Little White who had eaten two Essence Replenishment Pills.

"I can't let Little White eat all day and do nothing." He yelled at the direction of the bedroom, "Little White!"

Little White jumped out of the bedroom and trotted to follow Hao Ren.

Su Han took the opportunity to turn off the gas and put away the pan. Then, she walked to the windows.

She pulled open the curtains, and the sky entered their sight.

It was like a painting of a fantasy world. The frame of the window was the frame of the painting, and in the frame was the Nine Dragon Palace hovered in the dark clouds 1,000 meters high in the sky.

"Take a closer look," tucking a steak of hair behind her ear, Su Han said.

Hao Ren activated his Nature Essence to its full force and looked hard. Suddenly, he saw countless cultivators, like dragonflies after a shower, flying on swords in colorful stealth energy sphere toward the Nine Dragon Palace, which looked like an upside-down mountain in the air!
