Xie Yujia didn’t notice until now that more and more students were watching them from a dozen meters away. Knowing that she had lost her composure and remembering that Zhao Yanzi still didn’t know about Hao Ren’s return, she pulled Hao Ren toward the gate of the school.

In fact, after careful consideration, Xie Yujia had told Zhao Yanzi the whole thing on the second day after Hao Ren was gone.

Zhao Yanzi was astonished by the news, and what happened next was beyond Xie Yujia’s knowledge except that Zhao Yanzi’s Third Uncle seemed to have decided to go to the Nine Dragon Palace and rescue Hao Ren.

She knew that Zhao Yanzi was concerned about Hao Ren despite her words. Although she didn’t talk to Zhao Yanzi in the past few days, she could imagine the latter’s anxiety.

However, Zhao Yanzi had gotten the news about Hao Ren’s return from somewhere. When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia came to the main gate of East Ocean University, she had rushed out from the entrance of LingZhao Middle School from across the street and jumped into Hao Ren’s arms.

“Jerk! Jerk!”

While she cussed, Zhao Yanzi pounded her fists on Hao Ren’s chest.

She had been worried while Hao Ren was away and couldn’t hear a word in class; Ling even thought that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren had broken up.

Standing beside them, Xie Yujia couldn’t help smiling when she saw Zhao Yanzi’s cute look.

Hao Ren’s safe return was the most important thing for her, and she had realized his realm had increased again, knowing that he must have gained it in the Nine Dragon Palace.

After pounding Hao Ren’s chest for a while, Zhao Yanzi finally realized that they were in front of Hao Ren’s school and immediately stood away from Hao Ren’s warm arms with a flushed face.

She had always claimed that she disliked Hao Ren, but she revealed her true feelings today.

“Here are two fruits. Each of you can eat one now.” Hao Ren took out the Immortal Fruits and offered one to each of them.

“You got some special products from the Nine Dragon Palace?” Seeing no injuries on Hao Ren and finding his eyes brighter than before, Zhao Yanzi was satisfied and cheerful with the knowledge that he had elevated his realm again.

Without a word, she took the fruit from Hao Ren’s hand and took one bite.

The crisp fruit tasted like a pear. With only one bite, Zhao Yanzi felt the abundant nature essence begin to gather in her body.

“What’s this fruit?” Xie Yujia asked in her usual considerate way.

“This is Immortal Fruit. It can extend one’s lifespan and increase cultivation strength,” Hao Ren explained with a smile.

Zhen Yuan Zi had been good to his brother, Hao Ren, by giving him two Immortal Fruits while only giving Qiu Niu two fruits as well.

Hao Ren had saved the two Immortal Fruits for Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi.

Since they hadn’t cultivated for long, these fruits would surely benefit their future cultivation. As to Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, they had Immortal Physiques, so Hao Ren decided not to give the fruits to them.

They were all dear to him, and it was hard to be impartial. Hao Ren finally understood Grandma’s dilemma.

“Then… I’ll save mine for Grandma,” Xie Yujia put away the fruit and said to Hao Ren.

Having taken a big bite of the fruit, Zhao Yanzi blinked and took the fruit from her mouth when she heard Xie Yujia’s words. She stuck out her tongue with some embarrassment.

Xie Yujia wanted to save the fruit for Grandma, but she had begun eating it the moment that she got the fruit, which showed that she was more selfishness.

In fact, it wasn’t that she didn’t care about her elders. It was just that she was still a bit immature and didn’t think a lot. When she saw the gift from Hao Ren, she was overwhelmed with joy and didn’t think of anything else.

“I’ll… save mine for Third Uncle,” Zhao Yanzi said with a pout.

With only one bite, she knew that the fruit wasn’t an ordinary item, and it would be a waste on her low realm. Since she had taken one bite, she couldn’t give it to Grandma, so she decided to save it for her third uncle. If she had known that this fruit was so precious, she wouldn’t have eaten it.

“Grandma isn’t a cultivator. If she eats it, it will probably damage her meridians. These fruits had grown in a place with abundant nature essence and will lose their nature essence gradually on land. You must eat them now,” Hao Ren said with a smile while he looked at their expressions, one considerate and the other silly.

“I still want to save it for Third Uncle,” Zhao Yanzi said while holding the Immortal Fruit that she had taken one bite.

Zhao Kuo was good to her. Since he would soon charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm again shortly, Zhao Yanzi thought that the fruit would be beneficial to him even though it lost some of its nature essence.

Of course, another reason why she acted so considerately was that she wanted Hao Ren to have a good impression of her as well.

“Speaking of that, do you know if Third Uncle has returned or not?” Hao Ren asked her.

“Ugh?” Surprised, Zhao Yanzi raised her head and looked at Hao Ren with a frown. “Didn’t Third Uncle return with you?”

Zhao Kuo had gone to the Nine Dragon Palace to find Hao Ren. Now that Hao Ren had returned safely, Zhao Yanzi thought that Zhao Kuo had come back with him.

Seeing Zhao Yanzi’s response, Hao Ren knew that Zhao Kuo hadn’t returned yet, and a bad feeling rose in him. He had met Zhao Kuo in the Nine Dragon Palace, but they had gotten separated due to the subsequent events.

Seeing the alarm on Hao Ren’s face, Zhao Yanzi panicked as well, and the joy on her face disappeared.

Zhao Kuo had rushed into the Nine Dragon Palace to rescue Hao Ren, but now Hao Ren was back while her Third Uncle…

While they stared at each other and Xie Yujia began to look worried by their sides, a black dot appeared in the sky.

Hu… A black object fell from the high sky.

Bang!

While they were trying to determine what this object was, a round energy sphere appeared around it, and it began to spin in the high sky.

If sharp-eyed mortals saw the black dot in the high sky and then noticed its disappearance, they would think that it was a UFO.

Guang… The object surrounded by an energy sphere spun in the sky and finally dropped into the flower bed in front of the school gate, destroying many flowers.

Hao Ren and the two girls hurried over and saw the black-faced Zhao Kuo trying to get out of the flower bed!

“Damn it!”

Mortified, Zhao Kuo brushed the dust off his clothes and cussed.

He had been tossed into the inner area of the Demon Sea from the Nine Dragon Palace. Before he understood the situation, he was hunted down by several demon kings. When he was about to lose the battle, flashes of green lights rose in the Demon Sea, and the small demon kings who were attacking him lost their souls.

Then, he wanted to flee from the Demon Sea when the environment became chaotic. Shocking lightning bolts that he had never seen before crashed down, forcing him into the ocean.

Through the seawater, he had vaguely seen a golden Phoenix and a green Kirin withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation together. When he thought that he couldn’t get out of the situation, the lightning tribulation suddenly ended.

Just as he was about to get out of the ocean, he saw the Nine Dragon Palace flying over the sea surface. Without a chance to resist, he was sucked into the Nine Dragon Palace again.

In the Nine Dragon Palace, he was hunted down by many fierce beasts. When a level 9 fierce beast was about to bite off his neck, he was tossed out of the Nine Dragon Palace by a mysterious force.

When he saw Hao Ren standing before him in clean clothes with smooth cheeks, he became furious!

“I almost died in the battles just to rescue you!” he thought.

“Third Uncle!”

Zhao Yanzi ran over and hugged Zhao Kuo who looked like a beggar with mud all over his body.

At this moment, the students of East Ocean University and LingZhao Middle School were all in class, and the few students passing the gate just saw a brawny man climbed out of the flower bed, never suspecting that he had fallen from the sky.

After looking at his tattered clothes and then glancing at Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that it must be Ancestral Master Qiu Niu who tossed him out of the Nine Dragon Palace.

Qiu Niu had purposefully tossed him in front of Hao Ren as well.

He had been worried that Hao Ren was eaten by the demon beasts in the Demon Sea, but it seemed that this kid had had good food and maintained a healthy look!

“Third Uncle.”

Hao Ren walked over and pulled Zhao Kuo out of the flower bed.

He was relieved that Zhao Kuo was back safely. No matter how rude Zhao Kuo was to him, the former had gone into the Nine Dragon Palace to save him at the risk of his own life, which touched Hao Ren’s heart.

Hao Ren observed Zhao Kuo’s realm and found that the latter was still at peak Qian-level, which showed that Zhao Kuo wasn’t seriously injured when he fell from the Nine Dragon Palace.

“Third Uncle! This… is for you!”

Zhao Yanzi lifted the Immortal Fruit that she had bitten to Zhao Kuo’s face.

Several mid-aged men walked past them and looked at Zhao Yanzi and Zhao Kuo curiously, thinking that this little girl was so kind-hearted that she was giving fruit to a beggar.

“This!”

Oblivious to the mortals’ gazes, Zhao Kuo looked at the Immortal Fruit in Zhao Yanzi’s hand in astonishment!

From its abundant nature essence and unique shape, Zhao Kuo immediately knew that it was an Immortal Fruit from the legendary origin of all earthly essence – Immortal Fruit Tree!

Seeing Zhao Kuo’s hesitation, Zhao Yanzi explained while thinking that her third uncle had never seen this fruit before, “Hao Ren brought these fruits to us, and he said that they could extend one’s lifespan and increase realms.”

Zhao Kuo immediately looked toward Hao Ren in astonishment and thought, “Damn it! This thing is so precious that even the Earthly Immortals don’t have the chance of eating! It not only would extend one’s lifespan and increase realms, but it could also turn a cultivator into a half Immortal Physique! Hao Ren is really a bad-ass and got two of them! The Immortal Fruit Tree grows in the backyard of Zhen Yuan Zi, the leader of the Earthly Immortals. Was Hao Ren so bold that he had stolen fruits from the leader of the Earthly Immortals?!”
