Chapter 303: Xiao Bai Returns
hao Jiayan's decision to join.The whole thing happened very suddenly. Yu Rong and others took some time to process it all: Zhao Jiayan being unexpectedly recruited into the school’s basketball team; H...Chapter 303: Little White Returns!
Together with Zhao Yanzi, they arrived at the seaside villa (Dragon King's Son-in-Law Chapter 303). Inside it was hot and bustling.
Zhao Guang’s black Chevrolet, Zhao Hongyu's car, Lu Qing’s black sedan, and Hao Zhonghua’s white Ford were all parked outside.
In the living room, two square tables had been joined to make a long table. The girls, along with Grandma and Zhao Hongyu, were seated around it, in the middle of which was a big pile of stuffing and dumpling wrappers.
"Hehe, Zi-zi is here!" Seeing Zhao Yanzi, Grandma happily shouted out.
"Grandma!" Zhao Yanzi cheerfully threw herself at her, regardless of Grandma’s hands covered in flour, crashing into her arms.
"I've missed my grandma to death!" Grandma pinched Zhao Yanzi's cheeks with her fingers and left several white flour stains on her rosy cheeks.
"Zi-zi, come over here and learn how to make dumplings," Zhao Hongyu beckoned to Zhao Yanzi.
Hao Ren took the opportunity to look at the others in the living room. He saw that Lu Qing had indeed also arrived. Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang sat upright on the sofa, chatting cordially with Lu Qing and Zhao Guang.
"Ren-er, come here and help make dumplings too!" Grandma called out to him.
"Sir! Over here! Over here!" Lu Linlin and Lu Li raised their pale arms high up in the air.
Thus, Hao Ren joined them, becoming the sole male amidst this group.
Xie Yujia's pace of making dumplings wasn't fast, but those she made were beautiful and neat; Zhao Hongyu was even more meticulous than Xie Yujia, producing dumplings that looked like works of art, making one reluctant to eat them; Grandma’s dumplings were steady and well-made, although not particularly quick, emphasizing sincerity; Lu Linlin and Lu Lili resembled a simple assembly line, with their little hands passing the dumplings back and forth until they lined up neatly on the table.
But Zhao Yanzi, who had just started at the side of the table, produced some very misshapen and ugly dumplings. Amongst all these beautiful ones on the table, hers stood out as uniquely "special."
Hao Ren stood beside Lu Linlin and Lu Lihuo, facing Xie Yujia across the table.
"The Great Mistress is at the third layer of Condensation Breath practice, while the Little Mistress has already reached the fourth layer," Lu Linlin leaned close to Hao Ren and whispered softly.
"Oh" Hao Ren was somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect that in just a few days, Zhao Yanzvi's cultivation level had surpassed her "teacher", Xie Yujia.
"Alright, let me have a go," Yue Yang got up from the sofa after talking to Lu Qing and Zhao Guang, walking over to the table beside Zhao Yanzhi and rolling up his sleeves.
He chose a position right next to Zhao Yanzhi. He wrapped one side himself while adjusting the other side that Zhao Yanzhi had already wrapped.
"A few days without seeing her, Ah Zi has grown even more beautiful," Yue Yang turned his head to look at Zhao Yanzhi beside him and said with a smile.
Zhao Yanzhi pouted her little mouth, seemingly somewhat unwilling.
"This child..." Zhao Hongyu sighed helplessly.
Yue Yang smiled understandingly. He found even the sulking Zhao Yanzhi irresistibly endearing.
"Our research institute has acquired a deep-sea detection instrument that can probe conditions four meters below sea level. There are still many mysterious creatures in the ocean we have yet to discover, so our scientific research is never-ending,"
Hao Zhonghua gradually grew enthusiastic as he talked about his research situation on the sofa.
"Besides some undiscovered species, there are also numerous precious resources at the bottom of the sea that require us to develop. Since we have taken up this position, we must strive to open a new chapter for our marine endeavors,"
Lu Qing and Zhao Guang sat on the sofa on the side, nodding along as they listened.
"In fact, this time when Ya Qiong returned, she also has a new field of development. She used to study marine and wetland climates, but now her research is leaning more towards the climate of the ocean and the local climate of coastal cities. According to recent records from the meteorological bureau, there have been numerous abnormal weather changes recently in Donghai City, especially by the seaside where thunderstorms occur unpredictably often. Ya Qiong's initial study aims to figure out the causes behind these unusual local weather phenomena," Hao Zhonghua continued.
He Zhen, who was making dumplings, felt his heart thumping as he thought, 'What abnormal weather That’s just me cultivating the "Divided Light Sword Shadow Art"!'
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about such mysterious things,"
Grandma hurriedly interrupted when she saw Hao Zhonghua talking endlessly about work. “It’s more important to help make dumplings!”
"Right away." Even as a renowned global scientist in the eyes of others, Duozhonghua remained obedient before his grandmother and immediately stood up with a large plate of dumplings and entered the kitchen.
Ya Qiong also carried a big plate of dumplings into the kitchen.
No matter whether it came to research or family life, both of them were harmonious partners in every aspect.
Zhao Hongyu nodded at Zhao Guang and was quite satisfied with Hao Ren's family. This way, no matter if she went forward or backward, Zhao Yanzi had a stable place to go.
After all, the world of cultivation was not as peaceful as it seemed; drastic changes in the current power structure could make retreating back to being an ordinary person and living a regular life with Hao Ren not such a bad thing.
From various details, they believed that no matter whether he was in the world of cultivators or the mundane world, Hao Ren would do his utmost to protect Zhao Yanzi.
"Come on, let’s eat the dumplings! Girls first!" Ya Qiong shouted from inside the kitchen.
The girls rushed into the steaming kitchen one after another and each brought out a bowl of dumplings.
Grandma, Lu Qing, Zhao Guang, and others all got their share of bowls as well.
Before long, the living room also became bustling and warm. A dozen people were either standing or sitting around; girls gathered around Grandma, while adults held bowls of jūráo (a type of dumpling) chatting with each other.
"You're eating jūráo too! I'll give you one." Xie Yujia walked over to Hao Ren and scooped a jūráo from her bowl, placing it in his bowl.
It was such an ordinary action but made people feel very close.
Zhao Yanzi suddenly came up as well, "Here! I'll give you one!" Without caring about Hao Ren's reaction, Zhao Yanzi had already placed the ugliest jūráo in her bowl into Hao Ren's. This ugly jūráo was clearly her own work.
"Young Master, we'll also share with you!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood up to join in the fun, splitting two mixed jūráo for Hao Ren.
Hao Ren’s bowl that was already full to the brim nearly overflowed with soup.
Grandma noticed all the girls running over to Hao Ren's side and drinking white broth, shaking her head with a smile.
"Rururu~"
Suddenly, a small white dog ran up to his feet. A golden bell hung around its neck, making clear tinkling sounds.
"Little White" Zhao Yanzi immediately called out.
While everyone was busy eating, Little White wagged its head and stuck out its red tongue.
The appearance of this little white dog made Hao Ren suddenly remember something.
"You little girl, teach me the art of alchemy quickly!"
A boy with a topknot and wearing a brown mandarin jacket suddenly burst into the room.eir dragon bodies!Tens of thousands of bolts of lightning struck Hao Ren. The first to bear the brunt of the lightning force was the Zi Ling Spirit-Killing Net that surrounded him!The sixteen Dui Rank...
