Chapter 395: Hang out in a Big City!!
It was already late at night when they returned to the apartment.
"Here!"
Su Han took a little bottle out of her storage ring and threw it at Hao Ren.
He opened the bottle, and a pleasant scent came out of it.
Even though it was not a great elixir, it was still a very decent curing ointment.
"Thank you very much," Hao Ren said to Su Han as he took some of the ointment.
Su Han curled her lips and didn't say anything.
She was the one who put the wounds on Hao Ren, yet he was still thanking her. It made her feel a little weird.
However, it also reminded her of her own master Elder Xingyue. Su Han was the 'weird kid' in the East Ocean Dragon Palace because all the other cultivators were water-element while she was both metal-elemental and water-elemental.
The cultivators of her generation were either from families of elders or generals while she stayed with Elder Xingyue the entire time as an orphan.
Elder Xingyue cared a lot about Su Han, but she was very strict when it came to cultivation.
Su Han was always covered in wounds when she was young, and Elder Xingyue would always toss her a bottle of healing ointment with a stern face.
Su Han had a pair of large shining eyes, but she never cried or threw a tantrum. Before anyone noticed, she had already become a stunning beauty who was even stronger than her master Elder Xingyue. Whenever she thought of her childhood, Su Han was still very grateful toward her master.
"You can keep this bottle of ointment because you will need this a lot in the future," Su Han said before Hao Ren passed the bottle back to her.
"Ok..." Hao Ren took his hand back.
Su Han made it very clear; today was only a warmup, and there would be more days like this ahead of him! With Su Han's strength, she could break Hao Ren's skin and cut into his flesh every single day...
Since Su Han was still standing there, Hao Ren thought about it and opened his shirt up. Then, he started to apply the white ointment on the bruises on his shoulders.
Su Han was stupefied as she didn't expect Hao Ren to take his clothes off suddenly. She thought he was going to apply the ointment in the bathroom...
Hao Ren's exercising method was different from Su Han's. He took a more intensive path, and the fundamental boxing techniques he had been practicing lately bulged his muscles and made them look symmetrical.
Su Han had great strength, but she had never seen a man's 'naked body'. Her head buzzed as she had a feeling of being defeated.
Hao Ren didn't think about it much since he was used to playing cards on the balcony half naked with his roommates when it was hot, and the female dorm building was just a few dozen meters across from them; no one seemed to have cared...
Hao Ren took turns with both hands and applied the ointment on his shoulders.
Then, he looked at Su Han who was still standing there and looked as calm as a dead pool of water. He handed the bottle to her and said in embarrassment, "Um... could you help me put some on my back, please? I can't reach it..."
Su Han's eyes slowly opened wider as the cold expression stayed on her face.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists all of a sudden.
"Sorry for the trouble..." Hao Ren turned his back to her.
Su Han felt like she was struck by lightning, and the White Jade Sword instantly appeared in her hand.
"Just...a little bit," Hao Ren said in embarrassment with his back facing Su Han.
"Ka...Ka..." Su Han gritted her teeth.
She breathed out deeply after a few seconds of hesitation. Then, she put back the White Jade Sword and squeezed out some ointment.
She picked up a piece of cloth from the table and covered her hand with it before she rubbed it on Hao Ren's wound.
"Thanks a lot!" Hao Ren felt the chill on his back. He then turned over, put his shredded coat on, and smiled at Su Han.
"Humph!" she threw the bottle back at him and headed toward her bedroom.
"Su Han?" Hao Ren suddenly stopped her.
"What?" Su Han squinted her eyes and looked at Hao Ren.
"Are there... any new clothes I can wear?" Hao Ren twisted his ripped coat and asked.
Cold, intense light rays shot out of Su Han's eyes, and she said word by word, "What Do You Think?"
"Um..." Hao Ren sensed a tremendous amount of pressure pouring toward him. He immediately waved to let her know that it was not necessary anymore.
Su Han had never let any man into her apartment. How on earth would there be men's clothes in here?
She slowly walked into her bedroom and closed the door behind her roughly.
Hao Ren looked at the two-thirds full ointment bottle in his hand. He thought for a bit and threw it into his necklace.
There was another room next to Su Han's bedroom, but Hao Ren didn't plan to sleep in there. He curled up on the couch and fell asleep as he circulated the nature essence according to the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
It slowly turned bright outside.
Fifth Heaven also turned bright.
Xie Yujia had quietly cultivated in her cave abode for an entire night. She slowly breathed out and looked outside at the valley. The spiritual herbs were thriving in the five sections.
A string of heavy golden-brown fruits hung under the thick light-yellow leaves of a thousand years old Pi Ma Grass; they seemed to be almost ripe.
The Yuan Bao Grass grew a few more leaves in a night, and it looked extremely green.
A Hong Xiang Vine grew out of the water in the paddy field. Since it had obtained sufficient nature essence and was in a proper environment, it looked particularly bright and fresh in the morning mist... Xie Yujia was delighted to see the spiritual herbs growing up luxuriant. Nature essence swam throughout her body along with some slight comprehension. She suddenly leveled up from level 9 to level 10 Qi Refinement Realm!
She was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Zhao Yanzi flew out of the cave abode next to her on her sword.
Little White was sleeping at the entrance, and it was awoken by a slight pain when Zhao Yanzi pulled some of its white hair off. It flew out after her immediately.
"First sword technique of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll. Tianshu, up!"
Zhao Yanzi slightly hopped up as the Purple Green Treasure Sword underneath her suddenly dashed ahead.
The upside-down longsword suddenly drew out a tremendous ray as if it was an upside-down waterfall, and Little White hastily backed up and tripped embarrassingly in the middle of the air.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Yanzi laughed happily. The longsword circled in the air and went back under Zhao Yanzi's feet.
Little White growled; it felt wronged and was a little mad.
"Alright, Little White. I won't tease you anymore" Zhao Yanzi got closer to it on her sword and hopped onto its back. "Let's take a look outside! It's still early!"
Little White's black eyes shone immediately when it heard this. It wanted to play around on Fifth Heaven, but it had to stay in the valley when Hao Ren cultivated there. It got very bored.
"Zi!" Xie Yujia saw Zhao Yanzi heading outside of the valley on Little White and shouted out.
However, she didn't know how to ride a sword, and Zhao Yanzi took Little White with her. So, she was left grinding her teeth and worrying.
The dawn on Fifth Heaven was very quiet; one could see endless mountains and rivers.
Zhao Yanzi flew around the three sects near Ethereal Summit on Little White, and she headed to a further place to look around.
"Slow down, Little White!" Zhao Yanzi grasped its ear and said. Little White was going very fast in excitement, and the scenery around them disappeared rapidly beside them.
"Wu..." Little White made a small sound in its throat as it slowed down the speed of the sword. It was proudest of its speed, yet Zhao Yanzi wouldn't let it show off.
"Are you alone, little girl?" a mid-aged man suddenly got near them on a sword.
"Ya!" Zhao Yanzi blinked and nodded immediately.
"Your spirit beast is very pretty. Are you the disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect?" The guy asked Zhao Yanzi.
"Yup, I'm running an errand for my master," Zhao Yanzi answered.
"You are so young, and it seems like you are not even at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Your master let you come out?" The man continued.
"My master says our Sky Mountain Sect is a well-known sect, and ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to bully us." She pouted her mouth.
"Hehehe..." the man faked a few laughs, "This spirit beast is pretty decent. I'll take it! The Sky Mountain Sect really thinks it is the biggest sect in the world. They would even let a disciple under the Foundation Establishment Realm out of the mountain!"
He flipped five beads out of his hand and blocked all five of Zhao Yanzi's directions.
"Don't rush, Little White. I'm on it!" Zhao Yanzi wasn't scared of the situation. On the other hand, she got a bit excited. She whipped her Purple Green Treasured Sword out and yelled, "Tianshu, up!"
A ray of bright white light whipped ahead and blocked the two beads in front of her. They exploded immediately before they even started functioning.
"Top-tier dharma treasure!" the mid-aged man was genuinely astonished to see Zhao Yanzi's longsword.
He suddenly realized that although she looked very young, she was of the Foundation Establishment Realm instead of the Qi Refinement Realm!
In general, one had to be at least 20 or 30 years old to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. How could a little girl like Zhao Yanzi be on the Foundation Establishment Realm?
"Tianshu, up again!" Zhao Yanzi wanted to see how powerful her technique was, and this unlucky guy knocked on her door. She was pleased about it.
A 15-meter wide light waterfall dashed toward this mid-aged man.
He didn't even get a chance to block it before the power of the Purple Green Treasure Sword and the power of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll hit him. It threw his entire body over ten meters away onto a mountain, knocking a dozen trees down.
"How... how can you..." the mid-aged man looked at Zhao Yanzi with wounds all over him. His clothes were ripped into pieces.
Zhao Yanzi patted Little White's bum and landed beside the man. "Hand over all your valuables, and I will spare you a life!"
The man shivered and handed his storage bag to her hastily.
He was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator after all, but he couldn't even handle Zhao Yanzi's single attack!
Zhao Yanzi opened the brown storage bag up and saw a few materials, several spiritual stones, and two techniques inside. She nodded in satisfaction and tied it onto her waist.
"You thought you could trick me, huh? I hang out in a big city! Humph!" She patted Little White's bum. Shoo...they flew away.
"What kind of sect is a big city..." the mid-aged man sat on the ground and looked at Zhao Yanzi as she left, astonished. He couldn't handle the power of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll at last and passed out on the ground.
