Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021
Zhang Xiaohao stopped thinking, got up from the sofa, and headed to the bathroom next door.
He turned on the faucet and took a warm shower.
Zhang Xiaohao, wearing a pair of big shorts, headed to the second floor.
The door opened, and Zhang Xiaohao was dumbfounded.
Four women and a dog were sitting on the bed staring at him with big, watery eyes that seemed to see right through him.
"Uh! How come you are still awake so late?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.
Cheng Qingsu and Zhou Yating rushed up to him, each holding one of Zhang Xiaohao’s arms and pulling him into the room.
The door closed with a sound echoing in the room.
Zhang Xiaohao was directly pressed onto the bed by Cheng Qingsu and Zhou Yating.
Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai stood opposite, watching him intently.
"Uh! What’s with those expressions?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in confusion.
He couldn’t help but feel uneasy for some reason.
"Honey, do I treat you well?" Cheng Tianxue said softly.
"Xue’er, can you not do this? When you call me honey, it makes me feel a bit anxious!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Honey, let me ask you, what did Grandpa Cheng want with you just now?" Cheng Tianxue asked.
"Nothing much! Just casual family conversation!" Zhang Xiaohao blinked and said.
"Is that really all?" Cheng Tianxue asked suspiciously.
"Yes! It’s true!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"I don’t believe it!" Cheng Tianxue said.
The other three women didn’t speak, but their eyes said it all.
"Really, I’m not lying to you!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Honey, please tell me! I really want to know." Cheng Tianxue said, pouting while holding Zhang Xiaohao’s arm.
"Sigh! Do you really want me to say it?" Zhang Xiaohao sighed as he spoke.
"Yes." Cheng Tianxue nodded earnestly.
The other three women didn’t say anything, but their eyes said it all.
"Grandpa said that he wants me to keep working hard, and hopefully hear some good news about us this month!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah!!!" Cheng Tianxue exclaimed, her face immediately turning red.
The other three women tried to hold back laughter, their eyes darting between Zhang Xiaohao and Cheng Tianxue.
"Huh! What’s with those looks?" Cheng Tianxue said.
Su Ruobai and the other two couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Xiao Xue, we’ve been so secretive, and it turns out Grandpa Cheng wants to have grandchildren!"
"Sis, you have to work hard in life, and in... you know! This concerns the next generation of the Cheng and Zhang families, so you must try your best!"
"Sister Tianxue, you can do it! I believe in you!"
Su Ruobai and the other two teased.
"Alright! You dare to join hands to make fun of me, just wait and see how I deal with you!" Cheng Tianxue said with mock sternness.
After speaking, she was the first to pounce toward Su Ruobai.
"Hehe..." Su Ruobai and the other girls giggled and ran toward the other room.
"Stop right there, don’t run!" Cheng Tianxue shouted coldly.
She quickly chased after them into the bedroom.
The door closed from the inside, and the four girls immediately disappeared.
"Huh! Why do I feel like something’s off?" Zhang Xiaohao thought, frowning.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Zhang Xiaohao quickly realized what was wrong.
"Alright! You four joined forces and snuck around behind my back, huh? Well played!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Getting up from the bed, Zhang Xiaohao headed for the bedroom.
He tried the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside.
"Zhang Xiaohao, just stay outside honestly, I’m warning you, don’t come in!"
"Brother-in-law, men and women shouldn’t be too close, make sure to keep some distance!"
From the room came the voices of Cheng Tianxue and the other girls.
"Do you really think a small door can stop me? You guys are too naive!" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Hmph! We’re sleeping together; if you have the guts, come in!"
"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled mischievously. Fınd the newest release on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
However, he didn’t go in. If it were just Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai, it wouldn’t be a problem; they were both his women.
But Cheng Qingsu and Zhou Yating were there too.
That would be awkward; if he tried anything, Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai definitely wouldn’t agree.
"Sigh! A man as handsome as Brother Hao, spending the night alone, it’s just not fair!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
"Woof woof!" A small dog suddenly barked.
It moved its petite body over, weakly barking at Zhang Xiaohao, its human-like eyes seemingly saying, ’I’m here to keep you company!’
"You did well tonight! You’ve earned your keep!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
As he spoke, he picked up the small dog from the ground.
"Woof woof!" The small dog barked again, its eyes full of pride, as if to say, ’Of course!’
"This darned dog! You’ve got quite the nerve!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He placed the small dog on the bed, flipped his hand, and took out the two crude storage bags he had obtained earlier.
Summoning the Shennong Pill Fire, he fiercely set it ablaze.
The terrifying flames danced as they began to refine the two storage bags.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s actions, the small dog quietly stayed by his side, its eyes intently fixed on the storage bags in Zhang Xiaohao’s hands.
The two ownerless storage bags were refined by Zhang Xiaohao.
Holding one in each hand, he poured them onto the ground.
In no time, a pile of treasures formed a small mound on the ground.
Most of them were low-grade Spirit Stones, about three hundred pieces, along with a dozen mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Besides these, there were also some bottles and jars and a few jade boxes.
"Huh! Why aren’t there any martial arts techniques?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered.
Originally, he wanted to thoroughly study the Snow God Body from Jifeng Mountain, but now it seemed like that was completely out of reach.
"Oh well, if it’s meant to be mine, it’ll be mine. If not, there’s no use in forcing it," Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
With that, he picked up the bottles, jars, and jade boxes and began to examine them.
When Zhang Xiaohao opened the last jade box, he looked utterly incredulous, standing there in a daze.
