Chapter 127: Catching the Little White Rabbit

Thump! Three flashes of lights burst out from the surface of the water and flew towards the city; they seemed as small as dots from the view of the vast and boundless ocean.

They briskly flew past the majestic atmosphere imposed by the cold, towering waves. Shortly, East Ocean City came into Hao Ren’s sight; the city that was half dead and half frenzied at this time of the night.

As they were traveling at an insane speed, all the buildings and structures seemed to be going backward rapidly. These included the office buildings that were fully dimmed, the thoroughly illuminated entertainment districts, and the sparsely lit up residential areas……

Thud! Zhao Guang had landed steadily and was now standing on the ground. On the other hand, Hao Ren had become terribly pallid again. He could feel a wave of Nature Essence and a mouthful of blood rushing up his chest, and he almost threw up.

“Too bad you are wearing the Mount Tai bracelets that are resistant to all Dharma treasures. Otherwise, we could have ridden on my sword. That way, it would be more stable and less tortuous for you,” Zhao Guang seemed to try to comfort Hao Ren as he patted his shoulder and said.

Hao Ren was excited at the thought of riding on a sword.

He then realized it was already past midnight and followed Zhao Guang into the house quietly.

Likewise, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili became quiet and stealth as they made their way into the house.

Seated on the sofa, Zhao Hongyu was watching TV. As she sensed the slight movement in the house, she promptly got up to welcome the group.

“How did it go? What cultivation technique did you pick?” she asked.

Hao Ren showed her the cultivation technique in his hands.

“Why this one?” Zhao Hongyu seemed disappointed as she turned to question Zhao Guang, “This cultivation technique is rather insipid. Why didn’t you pick a better one?”

“Ren likes it, so let him try it out. Even though it will be slow to see progress with this one, it is also hard for anything to go wrong with it. Ren should be able to gain some good experience from cultivating it.” After giving his answer, Zhao Guang asked Zhao Hongyu, “Where’s Zi?”

“She’s in bed already. What time do you think it is?” Zhao Hongyu hinted at the clock on the wall.

Following her direction, Hao Ren looked over and found that it was already two o’clock in the morning.

“Zi worked on her homework until very late. I think she was waiting for Ren to return, but her eyes were failing her; so, I told her to go to sleep first.” Zhao Hongyu added.

Hao Ren felt slightly moved by Zhao Hongyu’s remark. He believed that Zhao Yanzi was also very concerned with the kind of cultivation technique he was going to pick out.

Hao Ren suddenly thought the scene where his entire family waited tirelessly for the grades of his university entrance exams to come out.

“You guys must be tired. Hurry up and get some rest.” Zhao Hongyu turned to Hao Ren and the Lu sisters. “Ren can stay in Zi’s room, and Linlin and Lili can stay in the guest room next door. Zi is asleep, so try to go up quietly.”

“Yes, Auntie. You should go get some rest too.” Hao Ren responded as he couldn’t help but begin yawning. After looking through the cultivation techniques at the Dragon Palace for a few hours, Hao Ren had become weary and sleepy.

One by one, the three began tiptoeing upstairs. On their way up, Hao Ren could vaguely hear Zhao Guang talking to Zhao Hongyu, “The construction of the altar is about 80% complete, and my brother is in good condition as well. It looks like there is a chance that he can make it through the Heavenly Tribulation this time…”

Turning the doorknob, Hao Ren stealthily got into Zhao Yanzi’s room. Likewise, while holding hands, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili went to rest in the bedroom next door after whispering ‘good night’ to Hao Ren.

After silently closing the door of Zhao Yanzi’s room, Hao Ren tiptoed over to Zhao Yanzi’s bed. He saw that she had rolled herself into the quilt, and only her tender white lower legs were showing. As expected, she was deeply asleep.

As Hao Ren quietly observed her, he found that she was quite cute when she was not being difficult.

Her curly eyelashes softly covered her eyes, and the skin on her face was tender and silky.

Her puffy cheeks were also constantly pushing out air, and Hao Ren realized that it was her unique breathing method during sleep.

A bed had been made on the floor.

After taking off his jacket, Hao Ren crawled into it. He placed the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll by his pillow and practiced the Spirit Concentration Scroll 60 times before peacefully falling asleep.

When he woke up again, he was startled by Zhao Yanzi who was stepping on his belly over the blanket.

Zhao Yanzi was now sitting up by her bed in her pink Snoopy pajamas, and her legs were dangling in the air while kicking Hao Ren’s butt at times. In her hands was the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll that Hao Ren acquired from the Dragon Palace last night.

Seeing that Hao Ren had woken up, Zhao Yanzi curled her lips disdainfully and said, “Why did you pick something so useless?”

“What do you know about it?” Hao Ren sat up while rolling his eyes at her. Rubbing his belly and butt, he abruptly reached out his hand to try to get his cultivation technique back.

However, Zhao Yanzi quickly leaned back, and Hao Ren missed his target. Even though Hao Ren did not get his technique back, he suddenly had a thought – jump on Zhao Yanzi instead.

Yet, he immediately found that he had scared himself for having such an idea.

On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi had not realized what her action had induced in Hao Ren. She hopped up like a small white rabbit and yelled, “Picking out a useless cultivation technique like this; you have got to have terrible taste!”

“Whether it is useless or not, you’ll never find out unless you have cultivated it!” Seeing that she was putting the technique way above her head while jumping around in bed, Hao Ren further developed an impulse to grab her by her feet so that she would fall onto her bed instead.

“Fine, fine. I’m not going to mess with you anymore!” Zhao Yanzi found herself to be overly excited and breezy all of a sudden. Hence, she threw the technique back to Hao Ren and jumped off from her bed.

Leaping over Hao Ren’s legs on the floor, she announced, “I am going to use the washroom first; don’t fight over it with me!”

Watching her hopping and bouncing her way to the washroom, Hao Ren suddenly felt like they were actually a couple, and Zhao Yanzi was becoming slightly more like a little girlfriend.

Gently slapping his own face, Hao Ren stood up and opened the window. He began breathing in the fresh air from the bamboos that were grown in the backyard as he tried hard to clear his head.

Thump! Unexpectedly, the window of the next room had also opened.

Two charming and graceful faces appeared out of the window and started breathing in the refreshing air from the yard. Promptly, they had discovered Hao Ren and greeted him in unison, “Good morning, Gongzi!”

“Uh… Morning!” Hao Ren quickly waved at them before withdrawing his head back from outside of the window.

Hao Ren let out a long sigh as he realized that he had almost forgotten about the sisters’ presence.

Brushing the small bells on his wrist, Hao Ren walked over to the washroom and knocked, “Hurry up! I have school, too!”

“Go away! I’m not done yet!” Zhao Yanzi responded with a shout from inside the washroom.

“My towel and toothbrush are all in there. How about you just take those out for me!?” Hao Ren insisted.

“Argh! I can’t stand any more of your nagging! Just come in!” Zhao Yanzi shouted back.

Upon hearing that, Hao Ren pulled open the door and walked in. Seemingly, his ‘nagging’ had become his most effective weapon against Zhao Yanzi.

In the washroom, Zhao Yanzi was busily brushing her teeth before the sink in her pajamas. With her mouth full of foam and her cheeks puffed up as always, she looked like a little duckling.

Hao Ren walked over and stood right next to Zhao Yanzi. He picked up his toothbrush and towel and began freshening up.

At this time while brushing her teeth, Zhao Yanzi started studying Hao Ren from the reflection in the mirror. She thought that this ‘Uncle’ seemed to be becoming more and more charming somehow?

“Even his messy hair now seemed to make him look manlier…”

Noticing Zhao Yanzi’s gaze through the mirror, Hao Ren also looked at her reflection.

“Don’t look!” Zhao Yanzi immediately reached out her hand and pushed Hao Ren’s face to the other direction.

“I won’t look, I won’t. What is there to see on such an ugly face anyway?” Hao Ren mumbled. After wiping down his face with the towel, he squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush.

“Squeeze the toothpaste from the end of the tube, Idiot!” Glaring at Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi scolded through her clenched teeth as if she believed that Hao Ren could never get anything right.

“What a fussy little brat……” Hao Ren placed the toothpaste back into its holder, held a mouthful of water, and began brushing his teeth.

Zhao Yanzi did not bother to say anything more. She wiped down her delicate face, poured some facial cleanser into her palm, and began rubbing her face with it.

While brushing his teeth, Hao Ren couldn’t help but observe her actions through the mirror again.

After rinsing off the foam on her face with water, Zhao Yanzi started putting on toner. After that, she went onto applying some face lotion……

“At such a young age, this little brat no doubt knows her skin care routine very well…” Automatically brushing his teeth, Hao Ren was amazed by what he observed through the mirror.

“Your teeth are going to fall off if you keep watching and brushing like that!” After completing her routine, Zhao Yanzi raised her head and shot Hao Ren a stare through the mirror.

Yet, the way Zhao Yanzi was looking up with her eyes wide open only made her look purer, more refreshing, more brilliant, and more immaculate.

“This girl is going to be like Su Han in the future; they would wreck the country by inducing battles between those who seek their beauty…” Hao Ren thought to himself.

Zhao Yanzi turned around, leaving the reflection of her back in the mirror, “I will be getting changed outside, and I will bite you to death if you dare to come out before I finish!”

“Alright, I’ll give you five minutes, you’d better be fast.” Taking out the toothbrush from his mouth, Hao Ren noticed that the nylon bristles on the head of the brush had become frizzy and bent. Since Zhao Yanzi’s face routine took about 15 minutes, it meant that Hao Ren had also been brushing his teeth for about 15 minutes.

He turned to the mirror and began combing his hair. After that, he picked up each and every bottle and jar on the counter and browsed through them. After he felt like he had given Zhao Yanzi sufficient time, he walked out of the washroom. He found that Zhao Yanzi had changed from her Snoopy pajamas into her sky-blue school uniform and was tidying up her backpack.

“I’ll head down now.” Hao Ren gathered his tutoring materials and his new cultivation technique and got out of her room.

Downstairs, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were busy helping Zhao Hongyu with breakfast. The sounds of their voices were delightful and pleasant like two morning bells.

As Hao Ren went down the stairs, the sisters looked up and greeted aloud, “Gongzi!”

Nevertheless, Hao Ren found their passionate greeting a little overwhelming. He laughed awkwardly while waving his hand. “Morning.”

Today, they were no longer wearing their chiffon dresses. Instead, they were each wearing a Bohemian style beige colored bomber jacket with a relaxed strap dress. The floral embroidered cutwork design not only made it seem very breathable but also very elegant. At the same time, the arch-shaped petal patterns on the dress made the style seem sweet and pleasant.

With their new makeovers, the sisters certainly looked even more stunning than yesterday.

Just from the style alone, Hao Ren could tell that it had to be Zhao Hongyu who chose the sisters’ outfits. He had a lot of respect for Zhao Hongyu’s taste; after all, she was a renowned architect who had great taste.

Soon, carrying her backpack, Zhao Yanzi had also come downstairs and joined the others for breakfast. With a suit on his body and a hint of sleepiness on his face, Zhao Guang came out of his room as well.

Seated around the dining table, they enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast. Afterward, Zhao Hongyu drove her Ferrari to work and was responsible for dropping Zhao Yanzi off at school on her way. Zhao Guang, on the other hand, was driving Hao Ren and the Lu sisters to school in his Chevrolet.

When they arrived at the school, Hao Ren got out of the car, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili followed suit. Promptly, Zhao Guang turned the car around and headed to Mingri Group for work. As he walked past the entrance, Hao Ren realized that the sisters were still following him.

“You don’t have to follow me anymore for the rest of the day. You can go do your own things,” Hao Ren turned around and said to them.

“But… we’re here for our own things,” Lu Lili replied timidly.

“Huh?” Hao Ren looked at them with a puzzled look.

“My older sister and I… we go to school here.” Lu Lili spoke softly as she looked at the white academic building that was not far ahead.
