Chapter 712: Chapter 712
An immense amount of nature’s spiritual energy cascaded down, enveloping Zhang Xiaohao in a giant cocoon.
Within the spiritual energy cocoon, bubbles rose from inside Zhang Xiaohao’s body and then quickly disappeared.
Strange sounds emerged from Zhang Xiaohao’s body.
As time passed, the aura emanating from Zhang Xiaohao gradually grew stronger.
"Breakthrough!" Zhang Xiaohao roared.
He suddenly gathered all his strength and charged at the final bottleneck of the Refining Yuan Technique.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Zhang Xiaohao broke through the last bottleneck of the Refining Yuan Technique.
"Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes turned cold.
He suddenly smashed his right fist forward, hitting the air.
Even the air seemed unable to bear the immense pure force under this domineering punch and burst into a loud explosion.
"Hmm, not bad! The power has increased by at least fifty percent! This is an unexpected delight," Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.
"Eh! What’s this awful smell!" Zhang Xiaohao muttered.
Looking down, he saw that his body was covered in dark mud.
"Damn! There’s still so much impurity! Looks like I need a bath," Zhang Xiaohao said.
With a thought, tremendous force burst from his body, shattering all his clothes.
Bare, he jumped into the pool.
"Ah! This is so comfortable!" The cold river water didn’t feel chilly at all, but rather gave a sensation as if one were in a hot spring. The feeling was like being in the Immortal Realm, so exhilarating that Zhang Xiaohao hummed in comfort. This update ıs available on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Great! It was worth all the effort to bring this river water here, definitely not a loss!" Zhang Xiaohao said proudly.
He carefully felt the changes in his body.
Surprise gradually spread across Zhang Xiaohao’s face.
"If one were to soak in this river water for a long time, especially for women! It would whiten and strengthen the skin, enhance physical health, and evolve their constitution. Even without deliberate cultivation, one might keep growing younger!" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed.
Gazing seriously at the Ice Skin Seven-Color Lotus in the water and then at the Netherworld Holy Tree in the center.
"Could it be the effects of these two extraordinary natural treasures?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned in thought.
Zhang Xiaohao couldn’t sit still anymore, he suddenly stood up from the water, went upstairs, and took a set of clothes from the Shennong Ring to put on.
With a wave of his hand, he unlocked the restrictions and walked upstairs.
"Eh! When did you get back, son-in-law?" Sister Zhou exclaimed.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao laughed and then said, "Sister Zhou, I’m hungry, is there any food left?"
"Just a moment, son-in-law, I’ll get it for you," Sister Zhou said.
She went to the kitchen and placed the prepared beggar’s chicken and braised yellow fish on the table.
She also brought some milk and bread out.
"Son-in-law, do you think this will be enough?" Sister Zhou asked.
"Thank you, Sister Zhou, this is plenty," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
After finishing the meal, he quickly tidied up the table and headed upstairs.
"Ah! Brother-in-law, where have you been these past few days?" Cheng Qingsu just came out of her room and asked in surprise.
"I haven’t gone anywhere!" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.
After speaking, he turned and entered his room.
Cheng Qingsu looked suspiciously at Zhang Xiaohao’s back, her cute little nose vigorously sniffing the air.
"Everything’s normal, the little one didn’t come to report either, I guess my brother-in-law really didn’t go out," Qingsu muttered.
She entered the room.
Zhang Xiaohao directly opened the inside room and walked in.
"Qingsu, weren’t you going to sleep? Why are you back?" Su Ruobai said.
Zhang Xiaohao didn’t speak, or rather, the whole person was stunned.
He stared with wide eyes at the two figures with skin white as snow, which under the light looked incredibly beautiful.
"Qingsu, why aren’t you talking?" Su Ruobai asked, puzzled.
Subconsciously turning her body, she looked toward Zhang Xiaohao at the door.
As their eyes met, the air seemed to completely solidify in that moment.
The two stared at each other, momentarily forgetting to speak.
"You little rascal, why did you come back again?" Cheng Tianxue said irritably.
She turned around, looking toward the door.
Looking at Zhang Xiaohao, she too was petrified, stunned in place like Su Ruobai.
Suddenly, a strange atmosphere spread throughout the room.
After a while, a subconscious sound of swallowing saliva broke the silence.
"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, you’ve got a nerve, spying on us!"
"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, I’m gonna fight you!"
Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai came back to their senses, picked up the pillows from the bed, and hurled them at Zhang Xiaohao.
Just as the pillow was about to hit Zhang Xiaohao, the room door quickly shut.
"Whew! So big, so beautiful! It’s just like a poem about the wind and the moon, each outstanding in its own right!" Zhang Xiaohao, hiding by the door, thought excitedly.
He walked over to the bed, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and started gulping it down.
After one bottle of mineral water, his insides still burned hot.
Another bottle! Still, it couldn’t quench the fire inside him!
One, two, three, he drank six bottles of mineral water in succession before the fire inside Zhang Xiaohao was finally suppressed.
"These two little enchantresses! Lucky my self-control is strong, comparable to the sage Liu Xiahui, who remained untempted! If my self-control had been even slightly weaker, geez, the consequences would have been immense," Zhang Xiaohao thought proudly.
The inside door opened.
Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai, with cold faces and brimming with fury, walked out from inside.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, walked over to Zhang Xiaohao and encircled him.
Cheng Tianxue, as if performing a magic trick, pulled out a huge pair of scissors from behind, and Su Ruobai, not to be outdone, produced a fruit knife from behind as well.
"Zhang Xiaohao, what a nerve you have! Now you even dare to take advantage of us openly! The most despicable part is, Ruobai is still a virgin. If word of this gets out, who will answer for her ruined reputation?" Cheng Tianxue said coldly.
"Well, um, gentlemen talk, they don’t lay hands; let’s talk this out slowly!" Zhang Xiaohao said awkwardly.
"We are women!" Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai said in unison.
As they spoke, the two women were about to make their move, to give Zhang Xiaohao a lesson.
"Wait! I have something to say!" Zhang Xiaohao quickly said.
"What do you have to say?"
"It was really just an accident, I didn’t mean to spy on you! Really, I actually had something important to discuss with you," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Is that so? Then tell us, what is it that you needed to see us for?" Cheng Tianxue disbelieved.
"Come with me, and I’ll show you right away!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
After exchanging glances, the two women decided to follow him and see for themselves.
