Chapter 553: Chapter 553

Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes, a flash of light briefly sparkling within.

After two continuous hours of cultivation, the True Qi he had used up was almost fully restored.

It was only his spirit that was still slightly unrecovered, but that was just a matter of time.

He stood up from the ground and glanced at Sun Dafu.

Seeing that he had begun to accept the inheritance, he nodded in satisfaction.

With a grab of his hand, he removed the silver needles and stored them in the Shennong Ring.

Then, he turned and walked towards the outside.

"Eh! Why haven’t you all gone to bed yet?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in surprise.

Sisters Cheng Tianxue, Su Ruobai, Mr. Cheng, and Sister Zhou were all sitting on the sofa.

"Xiaohao, how is Old Sun doing?" Mr. Cheng urgently asked.

"He’s fine now, a night’s rest, and he should be recovered by tomorrow!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"By the way, Grandpa, when did the people from Chen Martial Arts Hall arrive?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"This afternoon! After they arrived, they directly asked for you by name and description. Hearing you were not in, they straight away injured Old Sun," Mr. Cheng explained.

"Right, where is Zhou Yating?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.

"She’s been living at school recently; there seems to be some event going on there," Mr. Cheng replied.

"Does she know about this?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered for a moment.

"It happened just today; she doesn’t know," Mr. Cheng replied.

"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded and didn’t say much else.

If Zhou Yating knew about this and still sat by idly, no one could blame him for flipping out.

Fortunately, things hadn’t progressed to the worst scenario.

"Alright, now that everything has been taken care of, Grandpa, Tianxue, you should rest early," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hmm," Mr. Cheng nodded and turned to enter his room.

"Thank you!" Cheng Tianxue said earnestly.

After speaking, she quickly planted a kiss on Zhang Xiaohao’s cheek and dashed upstairs.

"Hmph! Act like a man!" Su Ruobai coldly spat out a sentence and then followed upstairs.

"Brother-in-law! You looked so cool tonight, truly an unbeatable handsome guy!" Cheng Qingsu said beamingly as she approached.

Holding onto Zhang Xiaohao’s arm, she placed it against her chest and rubbed it back and forth.

"Out with it! What do you want to do now?" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes and said.

To this younger aunt, he had both love and frustration.

"Brother-in-law, you know me best! Everyone says a younger aunt is like a brother-in-law’s intimate little fairy, and that’s absolutely right," Cheng Qingsu giggled.

"Enough! Don’t sweet-talk me. Spit it out! What do you want?" Zhang Xiaohao said exasperatedly.

"Brother-in-law, look how powerful you are now, and I’m still only in the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. If I go out, wouldn’t I just embarrass you? Do you have any wondrous treasures, like some Earth-grade Elixirs or Heaven-grade Elixirs? Ah, I don’t need many, just a few hundred will do," Cheng Qingsu said, batting her big eyes.

Zhang Xiaohao raised his hand and slapped her pert arm twice in annoyance.

"Do you think Earth-grade Elixirs and Heaven-grade Elixirs are cabbages? Hundreds of them? How can you even say such a thing?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Brother-in-law, not hundreds then, surely you have thirty or fifty?" Cheng Qingsu pressed on, not giving up.

"Don’t even talk about thirty or fifty; even if it’s just one, I don’t have it here," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"What? Brother-in-law, are you really that badly off? Not even one? You’re not going to tell me you’ve never even seen an Earth-grade or Heaven-grade Elixir, are you?" Cheng Qingsu taunted. Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Yes! I indeed haven’t seen them. Have you?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted.

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong! I know you’re the best and you care about me the most, please just give me some elixirs for cultivation!" Cheng Qingsu said.

She continued to shake Zhang Xiaohao’s arm.

"Stop shaking! If you keep it up, you’ll shake me into unconsciousness," Zhang Xiaohao said helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, so you’re agreeing?" Cheng Qingsu’s eyes brightened as she spoke.

"Ah! Who calls you the beloved little cotton demon of your brother-in-law! I don’t have Earth-grade Elixirs, but there are some Xuan-grade ones, would you like those?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"I want them! I want them all! Any type of elixir, I want them all!" Cheng Qingsu declared.

Zhang Xiaohao reached into his pocket and took out several bottles of low and mid-grade Xuan-grade elixirs for cultivation and handed them over.

"Here, take them!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Cheng Qingsu exclaimed excitedly.

She tiptoed and planted a lightning-fast kiss on Zhang Xiaohao’s cheek.

She left a trail of silvery laughter as she ran upstairs.

"This little rascal!" Watching her retreating figure, Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and gave a bitter smile.

Just as he was about to turn and head upstairs, his brow suddenly furrowed.

A fierce and evil aura was rapidly approaching.

His Soul Power surged out, bursting from within him, and he scanned the surroundings within a three-mile radius.

"Hmm? People from the Chen Martial Arts Hall? Over a hundred people, and the weakest among them is at the Hundred Veins Realm. They’ve arrived quite quickly indeed!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

With a tap of his foot, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting outside.

Zhang Xiaohao stood blocking the path of this group of disciples from the Chen Martial Arts Hall.

"All of you, halt!" Vice Hall Master Yi commanded authoritatively, waving his hand.

The hundred or so core disciples from the Chen Martial Arts Hall all stopped in their tracks.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?" Vice Hall Master Yi squinted his eyes and asked.

A violent aura burst forth from within him, pressing down towards Zhang Xiaohao.

Zhang Xiaohao looked up at the night sky; it wasn’t raining tonight.

Killing here would surely cause a big disturbance, potentially waking the other people inside the villa, which he was not inclined to see happen.

"Zhang Xiaohao!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly and mercilessly.

With a flip of his palm, a dazzling golden palm seal burst forth, intentionally lowering his power, and struck toward the group of Chen Family’s disciples.

"Damn it! Break it for your hall master!" Vice Hall Master Yi roared.

His palm flipped over, and a burst of violent True Qi exploded.

"Great Splitting Sky Palm!"

A tyrannical, black palm seal struck the golden palm seal.

Since Zhang Xiaohao had only used a layer of power, the golden palm seal was directly broken.

Vice Hall Master Yi landed on the ground, his face filled with arrogance and triumph.

"Zhang Xiaohao! I thought you were stronger than this. It turns out you’re just so-so!" Vice Hall Master Yi sneered.

"Humph! If you’re brave enough, face me one-on-one. What skill is there in ganging up on someone?" Zhang Xiaohao intentionally said this.

With a tap of his foot, he executed the Twelve Heavenly Steps, flying into the night.

"Humph! Thinking you can kill me, Zhang Xiaohao, with such trash? Maybe in your next life!"

In the darkness, a deliberately provocative voice of Zhang Xiaohao could be heard.
