Chapter 387: Passion for Cooking and Planting!
Ring... The class bell rang, signaling the end of the class.
Xie Yujia walked to the back row with her textbook in her hand.
Her shirt-style skirt made her look even taller. When she walked down the aisle between desks, it felt like she was walking down a runway in a fashion show where all bright spotlights shined on her.
"Let's go for lunch together!" Xie Yujia smiled sweetly.
"Ren, why do you keep girls before bros!" Zhou Liren shouted as he looked at Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia kept a low profile while she was the Class President. Now after resigning from that position, she had become more and more beautiful.
During this time, tons of guys regretted not pursuing her back then. If Lin Li from Class Three were to appear in front of Xie Yujia now, she would look as plain as dust.
"I meant all of us together!" Xie Yujia laughed.
Her charming smile stunned everyone there, and they were at a loss for words.
Although she hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, her youthful yet mature look was more than enough to conquer these guys instantly.
There used to be such a beautiful girl in front of them, but they did not cherish it. It was already too late when they realized it now.
Xie Yujia had been leveling up at a fast speed since she resigned from her old position! She could stun most of the guys around her and defeat most of the girls in the school!
"Let's go! Let's go!" Zhao Jiayi shouted. He just got to a level which was equivalent to the second level of Spirit Concentration Scroll without even knowing about it, and he was able to keep his calm.
"Ren got to pay!" Yu Rong shouted next.
"It's ok! I will pay this time!" Xie Yujia said as she smiled gently.
She noticed Hao Ren's alienation from his friends during this period, so she wanted to take this opportunity and allow Hao Ren to reconnect with his friends.
They went over to the Hongji Square as a big group, and Ma Lina went along with them.
There would be a two-month summer break after the finals. Therefore, everyone was excited during this meal.
Xie Yujia was no longer the Class President, so she didn't need to keep a stern face anymore. She sat down beside Hao Ren happily and appeared to be very sweet.
Who would say that Xie Yujia was after Hao Ren's money now? With her look and temperament, she would find a wealthier partner than Hao Ren.
All the guys could only admire Hao Ren's luck!
He could make Xie Yujia, who had infinite potential, his girlfriend, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were always around him, and even Su Han had some sort of connection with him!
However, the guys didn't know that Hao Ren was now the Commanding General of East Ocean and already way above Purple-Robed Elder Lu Qing in terms of status. In other words, Vice Principle Lu Qing had to respect Hao Ren regardless of Zhao Yanzi and Zhao Guang now!
Hao Ren had the ultimate power in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and he could even kill the purple-robed elder on the spot and report later when there were enough reasons!
"Ok, ok, we are not going to interrupt your sweet date now! We are going back!" Ma Lina pushed the guys out of the restaurant with a smile, leaving Hao Ren and Xie Yujia behind to pay for the bill.
In Ma Lina's eyes, she tried her best to get Hao Ren and Xie Yujia together, and Hao Ren should thank her with great gesture now that he had gotten Xie Yujia.
"Let me pay for it," Hao Ren took out his wallet and stopped Xie Yujia.
"It's ok. I never officially treated Zhao Jiayi and the guys to dinner!" Xie Yujia stuffed the money in the waiter's hand, "Plus, I never paid you back for the things you bought!"
She pouted seriously, and Hao Ren couldn't help but laugh at her cute expression.
"I will be going to Su Han's place in the next couple of days. I'll help you set everything up right now, and I won't be going up this evening. Can you look after Little White as well?" Hao Ren asked.
"Um..." Xie Yujia nodded. She hesitated but didn't ask more questions.
Hao Ren let Little White out once they got outside, and it immediately walked around the Hongji Square in its golden-colored legs, wiggling its tail.
Its cute look attracted many loving girl's attention without a doubt. Even the guys turned to look at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia who were walking the 'dog'.
Fluffy Little White rolled around on the grey tiles with full energy like a rolling ball.
A husky owned by a florist got its head stepped on by Little White as soon as it got out of the flower shop. Although it was about ten times the size as Little White, it had to go back to the shop obediently.
No one could get in the way when Little White wanted to claim its dominance.
"Is that Hao Ren?... His girlfriend is so pretty... Isn't Su Han his girlfriend?... The beautiful twins in first-year are also interested in him... He must be loaded..."
While Little White was having a lot of fun running around Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, some students started to gossip.
The tree wants to stay still, but the wind wouldn't let it be.
Hao Ren wanted to keep a low profile, but he was in the spotlight over and over again. Everyone in the school knew who he was now.
Why would any student cause him any trouble? He even defeated Huang Xujie, the son of the deputy mayor. Why would any professor make his life hard? Everyone knew that Lu Qing, the Vice Principal, had been trying to protect him the whole time!
"Let's go!" Xie Yujia clapped at Little White when more and more people were walking over to them.
Little White hopped up into Xie Yujia's arms.
Xie Yujia looked down at Little White and laughed at how naughty it was. Then, she walked out of the Hongji Square with Hao Ren; they seemed perfect for each other.
For some reason, the girls in the area were suddenly jealous of Xie Yujia.
Hao Ren put up a red energy sphere after they walked around the corner.
Boom! Little White turned into its snow lion form.
Hao Ren had taught Xie Yujia how to create the energy sphere. In the future, she could head to Fifth Heaven to look after those spiritual herbs on her own as long as she had Little White with her.
Little White was in a great mood.
Shoo! It reached the Ethereal Peak on Fifth Heaven.
Hao Ren entered the array formation and landed in the valley. He took a lot of things out of his backpack: plastic mulch film, shed film, plant net, little spud, sprinkling kettle, drip irrigation belt, marking board...
If Xie Yujia didn't learn about these things from Grandma, none of them would know that there was so much to know when it came to farming and planting.
After laying everything out, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia started to work. Hao Ren first made a shallow square pit in the ground with his sword energies. Then, he created a tunnel and directed some water from the little river in the valley into this pit. Lastly, he dug another tunnel and directed the water back into the river, creating a paddy field that was irrigated with running water.
Hao Ren and Xie Yujia next moved the spiritual herbs that liked water into the paddy field.
They opened another area for the fire-elemental spiritual herbs. They built the structure of a greenhouse with bamboo sticks and covered it up with shed film.
For the earth-elemental spiritual herbs, they liked being exposed to the air, but they still needed sufficient water. Hao Ren and Xie Yujia placed the drip irrigation belt in the field to provide them with a certain amount of water.
The metal-element spiritual herbs needed to be placed near minerals. Hao Ren buried a dozen of top-tier spirit stones he borrowed from Premier Xia at the roots of the herbs. He also buried some used and broken dharma treasures in the ground.
Wood-elemental spiritual herbs were relatively easier to take care of. They placed the plant net in the ground and covered it up with mulch film, allowing the spiritual herb seedlings to absorb the nutrition from the ground sufficiently.
Thus, they rearranged the messy herb garden into five sections according to their elemental-attributes. There were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth sections. A modern agriculture planting system had been initially completed.
The Herb King Valley of the Ethereal Peak was slowly becoming the biggest spiritual herb farm on Fifth Heaven...
