Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi entered the room, and Duan Yao slowly followed them in her colorful dress.

Zhao Yanzi looked back at her with a vicious expression, but she didn’t force her to get out of the room. Lady Zhen gave her a beautiful present, so she didn’t want to be mean to Duan Yao.

Seeing Zhao Yanzi’s expression, Duan Yao’s pride was triggered, so she stared back at Zhao Yanzi viciously as well.

She had been brought down many times and was very sad, but she was still as stubborn as before. Although she couldn’t win a fight against Zhao Yanzi, she wasn’t scared of her.

Hao Ren’s room was a bit messy, yet it was still tidier than most guys’ rooms.

There was a nice fragrance in the room, and Hao Ren didn’t know if it were because Su Han spent a night here.

Duan Yao wasn’t used to all the strangers in the living room, so she followed them into Hao Ren’s room according to Lady Zhen’s suggestion.

She had her eyes wide open, scanning Hao Ren’s room. There was a square bookshelf, a large bed, a weird-looking lamp on the desk, and a three-piece iron object hanging on the ceiling, looking like a giant secret weapon.

In Sky Mountain Sect’s view, mortals were like ants. Immortal cultivators shouldn’t care about mortals at all. After all, who would choose to be a mortal if they could just cultivate?

But… The mortal world was completely different from Duan Yao’s imagination.

Beep!

The sound of the computer starting up startled Duan Yao.

Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were both very familiar with the computer, but it seemed like a transforming, powerful treasure to Duan Yao, and it made her clench her fists.

Zhao Yanzi completely ignored Duan Yao who was at the door. She quickly pulled a chair in front of the computer and clicked open the game, Angry Bird, on the desktop.

She used to hide in her room to play games every night. However, she didn’t have a chance to touch a computer since she was now boarding at LingZhao Middle School.

Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao who was at the door and didn’t invite her in, and then he pulled a chair over and sat down as well. There were elders in the living room, so he wanted to hide in the room for a break as well.

“Let me do it! Let me do it!” Zhao Yanzi grabbed the mouse and carefully measured the distance on the screen before shooting out the bird.

Duan Yao’s eyesight was extremely good. She stayed at the door and saw carton figures flashing around on the square object. However, she was still cautious about it.

“So silly!” Seeing that Zhao Yanzi couldn’t get past the level two times in a roll, Hao Ren grabbed the mouse to demonstrate how to pass the level.

Zhao Yanzi was good at arcade games, but she wasn’t very good at computer games. Hao Ren tried twice and passed the level successfully.

“I’ll do the next one!” Zhao Yanzi squeezed Hao Ren away with her body and took back the mouse.

Duan Yao stood at the door as she watched them fight intimately over the game, and she got a bit jealous.

She was the most popular girl in Sky Mountain Sect, but all those disciples were pursuing her because she was the only daughter of the Sect Master.

Ye Yan, the senior disciple of Sky Mountain who claimed to be willing to take care of her for the rest of her life, also avoided her as if she had some sort of plague when he learned that she would be sent to Ethereal Summit.

“Haha! I passed!” Zhao Yanzi messed around with it and passed the level. She was so happy that she started to dance around in the chair.

Duan Yao slowly moved over and carefully walked along Hao Ren’s bed before sitting down cautiously.

The mattress made the bed somewhat soft, and Duan Yao panicked for half a second before she finally calmed down and sat down.

Zhao Yanzi turned around and snorted lightly when she saw that Duan Yao had moved over.

Duan Yao gritted her teeth. However, she still stared at the computer screen curiously.

The characters in this popular game were well-known by almost everyone. However, it was the first time that Duan Yao saw these cartoon characters.

She was the same age as Zhao Yanzi, yet she seemed more like a child; she found everything interesting. This curiosity killed some of the hatred that she had for Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren to some extent.

“So, there is life like this outside of fighting and killing…” she thought.

Zhao Yanzi ignored her and clicked into the next level, and her shoulder touched Hao Ren’s as she played attentively.

Duan Yao sat in the back and watched quietly for a while. She understood the basic of this game, and she really wanted to try it herself. However, she knew that she didn’t have a chance. Therefore, she just sat there and stared at it.

“Here, try it yourself!” Zhao Yanzi’s hand was getting sore, so she invited Duan Yao to have a try as she noticed that the latter was staring at the screen carefully.

“I… No!” Duan Yao turned away immediately.

Zhao Yanzi offered Duan Yao the chance to play the game out of pity, but she got rejected. She rolled her eyes in anger and said, “You…”

Duan Yao ignored her and stood up. Then, she walked to the balcony outside of Hao Ren’s room.

The storm had already turned into a drizzle, and it was already brighter than before. Duan Yao looked into the distance as she knew that she would have to return to the Demon Sea with Lady Zhen soon.

Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were her enemies, and she sure would be coming back for revenge in the future. She felt especially jealous when she saw them spending time together happily.

The drizzling raindrops automatically fell away as they got near the dress that Lady Zhen gave her.

She looked up into the sky and knew that she would never want to go back to the Cultivation World on and above Fifth Heaven.

She bit her lips and went back into the room.

Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren were playing a new game, and Duan Yao walked passed them to check out the bookshelf.

She hadn’t seen any of the books on there before; they were all in different style and alignments. She quickly took one book off the shelf as Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren were playing the game, and she secretly scanned through the book.

Hao Ren noticed that she grabbed a book, Advanced Maths, and he knew that she wouldn’t be able to understand anything. Therefore, he simply left her alone.

Sure enough, Duan Yao didn’t understand any of those ‘runes’ written everywhere in the book. She took another look at Hao Ren, finding him more mysterious.

She quietly put it back onto the shelf and picked a more colorful one.

It was a colored comic book that Hao Ren bought when he was in middle school. Duan Yao flipped through a few pages, and she found it very amusing even though she didn’t quite get it.

Since Hao Ren didn’t pay attention to her, she secretly hid the comic book under her shirt.

As a matter of fact, Hao Ren was paying attention to her every single move. He pretended not to have seen anything when she sneaked the comic book under her shirt as if it were a high-leveled technique.

It was a random comic book that he bought during his middle school years. He didn’t get the full collection, and it had been lying on the shelf for several years. There was no other use for it other than to retain some of the memory of his middle school years.

“Zi, Ren, time for dinner!” Zhao Hongyu shouted from downstairs.

“Coming!” Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren answered together.

Duan Yao was afraid that Hao Ren would notice the missing book, so she put on a poker face and dashed out of the room as quickly as possible.

Two tables were put together to make a large one in the living room, and there were many chairs set around it.

Zhao Guang had been the East Ocean Dragon King for many years, and it was his first-time dining with a big demon king.

Duan Yao sat close to Lady Zhao and looked at everyone carefully. Su Han was in a white cotton shirt with a ponytail behind her head, and She looked very agile.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had a very traditional Chinese hairstyle. However, they dressed casually.

Xie Yujia had a ponytail to the side of her head, and she tied it together with a hairband that had a flower on it, looking very pretty.

Zhen Congming changed into a traditional Tang outfit and looked very handsome. Little White walked around the room and hung out with everyone for a bit except for Lady Zhen; it was scared of her.

They chatted about random topics which weren’t important at all. However, they all enjoyed the chat very much.

Hao Zhonghua was Grandma’s only child, and Hao Ren was his only child. Since this was the case, Grandma spoiled Hao Ren a lot, but the house had always been quiet.

Yue Yang was also the only daughter in her family. Since both of her parents had passed away, she didn’t have many relatives on her side.

Grandma had spent many Moon Festivals with only a few people, yet this year’s celebration was especially lively, so she was delighted. Now, she wanted Hao Ren to increase the number of people in the family more.

Therefore, Grandma took special care of the girls as well.

She tried to inspect the girls for Hao Ren personally, but she realized that each one of them was good!

Su Han used to stay on her own, and it was her first-time having lunch at Hao Ren’s house; she felt a bit strange. Hao Ren’s Grandma sat on her side and held her hand as she chatted with her, and it seemed like she liked Su Han a lot.

It was also Duan Yao’s first-time dining with mortals as well. Her black eyes rolled around as if she were a little sparrow, and she looked more than she ate.

The elders liked Xie Yujia a lot; Hao Ren’s parents and Zhao Yanzi’s parents kept asking her questions about her life. She blushed as she answered each question politely.

Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, kept chatting with Hao Ren.

Although it was raining outside, the atmosphere in the house was very nice.

Lady Zhen had some tea after lunch, and she chatted with Grandma for a bit before she said that she was going to leave.

“Don’t worry, Little Zhen. Wait until you have dinner here.” Grandma had an excellent impression of Lady Zhen, so she grabbed her wrist, trying to make her stay.

If it were another mortal or cultivator, they would have been dead. However, she didn’t mind Grandma pulling her at all. She smiled charmingly and said, “I have to go see another friend this time. Actually, I shouldn’t bring Yao with me. Is it ok for her to spend the night here?”

“Ok! Let her stay here!” Grandma answered directly.

Lady Zhen showed her trust as she left Duan Yao here. How could Grandma say no to that?

“Yao, behave yourself tonight, and I will come to pick you up tomorrow,” Lady Zhen said to Duan Yao.

Duan Yao looked at Lady Zhen in surprise as she didn’t expect her to leave her there.

“Goodbye, everyone,” Lady Zhen picked up the umbrella. She waved elegantly and stepped out the door with her oil-paper umbrella.

“I’m heading back too, Grandma,” Su Han said abruptly.

She spent the night at Hao Ren’s house and had a Moon Festival meal here too. She would have never imagined doing all these. However, she got a sense of breakthrough after slow cultivation for a while.

She needed to go back home to continue with her cultivation.

“Ay, Little Su wants to go back too…” Grandma held Su Han’s hand, not wanting her to leave.

Grandma kept it in mind that Su Han drove her to the countryside last time. After these two days, she realized how educated and reasonable Su Han was. She liked Su Han a lot.

“Yes, I need to head back. There is still something I need to do,” Su Han said to Grandma in a surprisingly gentle tone.

“Take an umbrella. Don’t get wet!” Grandma quickly grabbed an umbrella and put it in Su Han’s hand.

Su Han was a Qian-level master, and the rain wouldn’t be able to get her wet at all. However, she was touched by Grandma’s gesture.

She stepped out to catch up with Lady Zhen, but the latter was already nowhere to be found.

Boom…The jade longsword that Lady Zhen enhanced made a clear sound, and Su Han stepped on it and flew away. Her speed was 30% faster than before!

Lady Zhen mentioned her mom twice, and it planted a seed in her mind. Su Han was worried that this would be the obstacle in her cultivation path, so she wanted to catch up with Lady Zhen to ask her about it. But obviously, she had already lost her.

Wang Shitong, a peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon cultivator, got killed in East Ocean City, and the metal-elemental dragon clan’s elder came…

“What kind of situation is this…” Su Han headed to the Dragon God Shrine to investigate further.

Xie Yujia was busy helping Yue Yang and Zhao Hongyu with the table in the dining room. Hao Ren didn’t want to tire her out, so he started helping her as well.

Xie Yujia gave Hao Ren a sweet smile. Most girls liked powerful guys, but she loved the simple and ordinary side of Hao Ren.

Hao Ren smiled back at her. Xie Yujia was gentle and caring; she did great hanging out with all the elders. Su Han never initiated a conversation, Zhao Yanzi hid in the room, and the Lu sisters just helped out with the housework.

“Thank you,” Hao Ren said.

“You worked hard as well.” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and replied. She only chatted with elders causally; it was Hao Ren who gathered everyone here.

“Gongzi, you won’t be so tired after tonight!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said as they smiled and came over to Hao Ren.

The side effects of the Poison Pill Plan were about to end tonight. It was in Hao Ren’s fate to see what realm he could break into.

Anything would be better than his original mid-tier Gen-level.

Zhao Yanzi sat on the couch and took out the gold bracelet that Lady Zhen gave her. She studied this delicate, beautiful bracelet, and she felt like the heart-shaped pendant was pretty.

There was no sign of nature essence, so it only appeared to be a pretty decoration. Zhao Yanzi put it on her smooth, slim wrist, and they made each other even more beautiful.

“Did Lady Zhen give you anything?” Hao Ren asked Xie Yujia.

“I don’t think so…” Xie Yujia answered as she wiped the table.

“Um…” Hao Ren thought to himself, “Lady Zhen offered gifts to everyone generously but only missed Xie Yujia. Maybe it’s because she is Qingfeng Hermit ‘s disciple, so she doesn’t need any special care?”

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed a light purple mark on Xie Yujia’s right shoulder.

This purple mark was similar to the green mark that Old Grandma left on Xie Yujia’s left shoulder.

“Damn it… she gave a gift to everyone but me,” Hao Ren thought it was quite unfair. However, he suddenly noticed Duan Yao who was sitting at the edge of the couch with her arms together.
