Chapter 718: Chapter 718

Xiao Lan asked, and Xu Hao explained the situation to her.

Upon hearing that Teacher Guo had been dismissed due to the incident, she immediately became angry and said, "Teacher Guo didn't do anything wrong. He was just peacefully teaching at the school. The Wu family targeting him is so despicable!"

Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "It's unlikely that the Wu family would go out of their way to trouble a primary school teacher. But you never know. Guo Lan now lives without worries, but she doesn't like accepting help from others. So, I've decided to take her to the school tomorrow to find out who exactly dismissed her."

"Yes! Those bad people must be punished as they deserve!" Xiao Lan said with a very firm tone.

"Well... I'll have to stay here tonight," Xu Hao said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Lan.

"Ah? This... this... I'm not ready yet..." Xiao Lan's face turned incredibly red. Although she sometimes had those thoughts, Xu Hao's sudden statement seemed too abrupt.

"What are you thinking!"

Suddenly, Xu Hao flicked her on the forehead and scolded playfully, "Am I that kind of person? I'm just not very reassured about you. After all, there's definitely some unknown mysterious energy within you. That energy just got released today, and I feel it might be unstable shortly. I'm staying here so I can respond at any time."

Realizing what Xu Hao meant, Xiao Lan felt embarrassed and irritated, "Hmph! No wonder some people call you a big bad guy. You really are a big bad guy!"

"Do you want a spanking?" Xu Hao said, pretending to be angry.

"Tch! Dare you hit me? If you dare hit me, I will... I will... tell Sister Yao!" Xiao Lan said without much conviction.

"Oh, so you've learned to tattle, huh?"

Xu Hao played around with Xiao Lan for a while, laughing.

Xiao Lan's mood had been quite bad since the start of the day, but now, it was progressively improving, returning to her usual lively and cheerful self.

It was only then that Xu Hao felt relieved; he hadn't been teasing her without a reason.

That night, Xu Hao told her to sleep while he sat aside, cultivating through meditation.

After entering the Grandmaster realm, Xu Hao found that he could stay awake for three days without issues; meditating would quickly restore his energy, although he still needed to sleep after a few days.

Seeing Xu Hao keeping watch over her, Xiao Lan felt warmth in her heart, a smile on her face as she drifted off to sleep.

At one in the morning.

The night was deep and quiet, utterly silent.

Xu Hao, who had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through them, and looked at Xiao Lan with a somewhat intense gaze.

At that moment, there was a faint energy flowing around Xiao Lan's body. Xu Hao felt a budding vitality emanating from that energy.

It was as if a gentle spring breeze was caressing the ground and spring rain was moistening everything, making all things burst into life.

Suddenly, Xu Hao shockingly discovered that wherever this energy flowed through Xiao Lan's body, the life force there seemed much richer. My Virtual Library Empire (*) thanks you for reading at the source.

Xu Hao was incredibly shocked; it was actually helping her enhance her physique!

Xu Hao watched the changes on the surface of Xiao Lan's body with great interest. Since it was a beneficial change, he did not intervene.

Xu Hao was certain that if this continued every night, Xiao Lan's strength would skyrocket. Perhaps she would step into the Grandmaster realm before the year was out!

While others had to diligently cultivate, she simply needed to sleep to automatically cultivate. Even Xu Hao was a bit envious of her.

The night passed just like that.

When Xiao Lan woke up in the morning, the energy instantly retreated into her body.

She stretched lazily, her arms naturally extending out and heavily landing on the bed.

But then, with a "bang!" the bed was smashed to bits by her!

She looked at Xu Hao with an innocent face, utterly confused, "I... I didn't use any strength. It was just a natural movement, but how could the bed... just break like that?"

Xu Hao laughed and said, "Look at you, breaking stuff as soon as you wake up. You've smashed the bed to bits. Tell me, did you do it on purpose?"

"I... How could I do it on purpose! It must be because the bed is of poor quality, after all, it's been many years."

Xiao Lan found an excuse and got out of bed.

Since Xu Hao had been there last night, she slept fully clothed.

Xu Hao didn't argue with her. He remembered how he had suddenly become stronger after spending a night with Qin Yao, and how similar it was to Xiao Lan's situation now. Xu Hao was sure Xiao Lan was going to embarrass herself again.

Feeling a bit thirsty upon getting up, Xiao Lan decided to pick up a teacup to drink some water. However, as soon as she grasped the porcelain cup, she crushed it to pieces!

Hearing the sound of the teacup breaking, Xiao Lan panicked and stepped back several paces. However, looking at her hands, she noticed there was no blood, only slight scratches.
