They took the escalator down to the first floor of the mall, and Zhao Yanzi suddenly covered her tummy with her hand to let Hao Ren know that she was hungry.

“What do you want to eat?” Hao Ren asked her.

“KFC.”

Hao Ren asked her, “You are not a kid anymore, and you still want KFC?”

Zhao Yanzi suddenly turned to Hao Ren and said, “I wanted to save money for you!”

Hao Ren didn’t know what to say, so he accompanied her into KFC.

It was lunchtime, and Nanjing Street was located downtown. Therefore, there were many people in this KFC location. Not only was there a long lineup, but all the tables were taken.

Hao Ren stopped Zhao Yanzi when he saw the crowd. “There are too many people here. Let’s go somewhere else. I’ll buy you something more expensive.”

“It’s ok! Here is fine!” Zhao Yanzi was too lazy to go somewhere else, so she went straight into this KFC. She waited beside a table; the people sitting there were about to finish their lunch.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Hao Ren went to the back of the line with the bags in his hands. She bought clothes over thousands of yuan, yet she wanted to save him money on food. Hao Ren truly couldn’t understand girls’ thoughts.

He waited in line for over five minutes. Hao Ren got a burger combo and a wrap combo. Then, he went back into the crowd to look for Zhao Yanzi.

“Here! Here!” Zhao Yanzi raised her right hand.

She had already snagged two seats. She was in the thin purple sweater, waving her arm. Her small mouth and nose reminded Hao Ren of the sparrows in the spring.

“Here. Just waiting in line made me sweaty.” Hao Ren put the tray on the table.

Since there were many customers, they had to share the table with others; they couldn’t sit in front of each other as usual. Therefore, they had to sit side by side at the table, and it brought them even closer.

Zhao Yanzi almost leaned onto Hao Ren’s shoulder. She held on to the chicken wings in excitement as her smooth arm rubbed Hao Ren’s arm recklessly.

Hao Ren could even feel her body heat through her thin sweater. Her youthful and charming look attracted the guys’ attention around them; they were all jealous of Hao Ren.

“The fries are mine! The ice cream is mine too!” She kept scrambling at Hao Ren’s food after having finished her own.

Hao Ren was complaining in his mind, but it was very lucky for him to be ‘bullied’ by such a pretty little girl in other people’s eyes.

“Hey! I already drank that!” Hao Ren shouted when she took his bottle of coke.

“So what?” Zhao Yanzi put her orange juice in front of Hao Ren. “Here! Mine doesn’t taste good, so you can have it.”

Hao Ren looked at her, stupefied. If he remembered correctly, she would have killed him if he touched anything of hers a month ago. And now she would let him drink the orange juice she just had?

“Go ahead! What’s your problem? I don’t even mind!” Zhao Yanzi put the cup into his hand after seeing him not responding.

There were tiny water drops all over the plastic cup along with Zhao Yanzi’s handprint. There was even her lip print on the straw.

Hao Ren took a sip of the orange juice. It was sweet.

At the same time, Zhao Yanzi took large gulps of the iced coke Hao Ren just had.

Zhao Yanzi put the empty coke bottle down when she realized that Hao Ren was staring at her. Her face blushed, and she appeared to be angry again. “What are you looking at? I’m full! Let’s get out of here.”

She dragged Hao Ren up. Then, she lightly patted a little boy, who was standing beside them waiting for the seat, on the head and said, “These seats are yours, little guy!”

The boy immediately cheered up.

Zhao Yanzi walked out of the crowded KFC with Hao Ren.

“Alright, where do you want to go next?” Hao Ren took in a deep breath of fresh air after they got outside.

“Go where? You are such a little kid.” Zhao Yanzi stared at Hao Ren. “Let’s get back earlier to see Grandma!”

“Um…” Hao Ren was utterly speechless. “Zhao Yanzi called me a little kid…”

She dragged Hao Ren toward the parking lot forcefully. However, Hao Ren didn’t feel a slight hint of ‘murderous intent’ in the entire process.

Zhao Yanzi looked as aggressive as usual, but she was actually very gentle; she would only act like this if she were with someone she could rely on.

Hao Ren was dragged to their vehicle by her. He put the bags of clothes in the back seat, started the car, and drove to his house.

It was a sunny day, and it was the perfect weather to drive a convertible. The Ferrari arrived at the beach steadily.

The golden sunshine, the blue ocean, and the clear sky put them in a pleasant mood.

Zhao Yanzi kept her mouth and eyes closed as she breathed in slowly, enjoying the breeze.

The wind blew into her light sweater and swept her hair to the back of her head. She looked pretty and graceful.

There was no need for any word or music as the very situation was relaxing and comfortable.

The sports car drove forward at high speed. Zhao Yanzi suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren got nervous. “What… what’s the matter?”

“You look a little handsome from this angle,” Zhao Yanzi said quietly.

“Not good enough for a princess like you…” Hao Ren said back to her.

“Humph!” Zhao Yanzi turned to her right where the ocean view was.

After half an hour, they arrived at the house. Zhao Guang’s black Chevrolet was already parked outside.

“Dad! Mom!” Zhao Yanzi went inside with her new clothes as if she was entering her own house.

“Zi…” Grandma came to the door cheerfully and held Zhao Yanzi in her arms.

“Grandma!” Zhao Yanzi called out in a sweet voice; it was so sweet that one could make honey out of it.

Hao Ren parked the car in the garage and came in the house.

It was very lively in the living room.

There were Zhao Yanzi’s family of three, the Lu sisters, Grandma and Hao Ren himself. The house had never been as lively as this moment.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were busy bringing everyone tea and water, and Zhao Hongyu helped them with the glasses. Obviously, she had just arrived as well.

The twin sisters looked like two little butterflies in their light pink laced shirts, plage short skirts, and leggings. They didn’t seem overbearing at all even though they were both Qian-level masters. On the contrary, they looked more like two patient maids.

Zhao Guang stood on the side silently, watching Lu Linlin and Lu Lili take care of Grandma. He wondered if they were the ones who restricted the cultivation techniques of West Ocean’s 16 elders and threw them into the East Ocean.

“I bought a dress and a jacket today, Grandma!” Zhao Yanzi took out the clothes as she leaned on grandma.

“Ah! They are so beautiful!” Grandma praised and asked, “How much are they?”

“Not much! The dress is 350 yuan, and the jacket is 380 yuan,” Zhao Yanzi answered without blushing or blinking.

Hao Ren had his eye wide open, and he almost choked himself. Zhao Yanzi lightly cut the price by skipping a “0”!

“Hehe, that is not expensive at all! Zi is so good at getting the good deals!” Grandma said as she ran her hand through Zhao Yanzi’s smooth hair.

Only Zhao Hongyu, who studied design and architecture knew that the price of the clothes would not be cheap as soon as she saw them. “Since Zi has a limited allowance, Ren must have paid for all of them,” she thought.

“Here is your Longjing tea, Grandma,” Lu Lili brought a cup of hot tea to Grandma.

“Hehe, good, take some rest yourself,” Grandma pulled her down on the couch.

The tea gave out a strong fresh aroma. Zhao Hongyu took a glimpse at the tea leaves in the cup and realized that it was actually top-tier Greenwood leaves instead of Longjing tea leaves.

Even cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven couldn’t have easy access to Greenwood leaves. Greenwood Trees were of pure wood element, and its leaves contained nature essence. It could definitely help Grandma to live a prolonged life.

In fact, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili traded 250g of top-tier Greenwood leaves with the piece of a mid-tier Spirit Stone when they went to the Trading Convention on Fifth Heaven with Hao Ren last time.

The dragon cultivators and human cultivators seldom communicated since they were cautious toward each other. Therefore, the Spirit Stones, which weren’t so important to dragon cultivators, could be used to trade for some rare items that weren’t commonly seen in the mortal world.

Zhao Yanzi took her new dress and jacket upstairs to get changed while Hao Ren stayed in the living room to entertain the guests as the host.

Grandma was in high spirit. She chitchatted with Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang and told them stories about her stay in Zhejiang.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili sat on the couch, combing each other’s hair lovingly after serving everyone their drinks.

“Do I look pretty, Grandma?” Zhao Yanzi suddenly appeared on the stairs in the dress and jacket she just got.

There was a small platform on the stairs when the stairway turned, and it looked like a natural stage for Zhao Yanzi. Her appearance in her new outfits was beautiful.

“Little Zhumu is so pretty!” the twins couldn’t help but praise her.

Zhao Yanzi was very satisfied with their compliment, and her impression of the girls had improved. She never saw them as opponents. On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi only saw Xie Yujia as a serious threat.

Grandma gave Zhao Yanzi’s outfits a lot of compliments as well, although she mostly complimented Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi was so happy. She held the railing and spun twice before hopping back onto the second floor to get changed.

Hao Ren saw how cheerful she was. He knew that she wasn’t very confident on stage, so she was looking for some encouragement.

Hao Ren’s expectation for Tuesday suddenly got very high at this thought. He imagined Zhao Yanzi, who had always been good with her words, stuttering on stage and making a fool of herself.

“I got a lot of groceries on the way here. We can enjoy hot pot tonight!” Zhao Hongyu smiled at Grandma gently after Zhao Yanzi disappeared at the end of the stairs.

“Yeah, we have a good number of people for hot pot!” Grandma nodded in agreement.

Didididi… Zhao Guang’s cell phone suddenly rang.

He slowly picked it up.

Hao Ren, with his acute hearing, immediately heard Elder Lu’s worrisome voice through the phone, “Bad news, Dragon King. The 16 elders from West Ocean have escaped from the Dragon Palace!”
