Chapter 284: Zi Can Cultivate?
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia arrived at Zhao Yanzi's home, Zhao Hongyu was cooking.

"You arrived early." Zhao Hongyu wiped her hands on her apron and opened the door.

"I have no afternoon classes today, so I thought I might come a bit earlier to help. I hope we are not interrupting." Xie Yujia walked into the house carefully.

"You don't need to get us gifts; you are only here to have a meal with us," Zhao Hongyu said politely as she saw Xie Yujia putting a gift on the ground.

"It is what I should do," Xie Yujia replied with a gentle smile.

Xie Yujia was indeed more thoughtful than Hao Ren as he had never thought about buying a gift for Zhao Yanzi's parents even though he had been to their house many times.

"Zi is not back yet. It seems like it is going to take a while. You guys can go read some books," Zhao Hongyu said thoughtfully.

"Auntie, let me help you!" Xie Yujia volunteered.

"There's no need. I'm just going to make a few quick side dishes," Zhao Hongyu went back to the kitchen after she replied.

"It seems like Zi's mom can cook very well," Xie Yujia said softly while looking toward the kitchen.

Hao Ren smiled and thought, "Not only can Zi's mom cook very well, but she is also a top architect in the country."

As Xie Yujia sat down on the sofa, she started to look at the decoration of the house. Although the house was not big, the interior was uniquely designed and made the house feel spaciousness.

The green and blue tablecloth, the elegant linen curtains, the refreshing bouquet... All those details created a refreshing environment for the guests.

The house provided a natural sense of belongingness, joy, and calmness of returning home.

"What a smart and elegant woman..." Xie Yujia suddenly started to admire Zhao Hongyu.

Pow!

Zhao Yanzi, who was wearing her sky-blue school uniform and had a bag on her back, opened the door and entered the house.

When she saw Hao Ren and Xie Yujia sitting on the living room sofa, she froze for a moment before turning to the kitchen and shouting, "Mom, what's going on!"

"I invited Yujia over to have dinner with us!" Zhao Hongyu walked out of the kitchen and was holding several plates.

Zhao Yanzi's expression immediately darkened.

"Yujia, Ren, wash your hands and come to have dinner. Zi's dad won't be joining us tonight," Zhao Hongyu ignored Zhao Yanzi's frustration and said to Xie Yujia and Hao Ren.

"Thank you for your hospitality," Xie Yujia said to Zhao Hongyu and went ahead to wash her hands in the washroom.

Zhao Hongyu looked at Xie Yujia and thought, "I wouldn't worry that much if Zi is half as polite and considerate as this girl. Hao Ren has such a good temper, and he is spoiling Zi."

After Xie Yujia finished washing her hands, she sat down at the table. Then, Zhao Yanzi ran in front of Hao Ren to wash her hands and rolled her eyes at him; she even bumped him with her body.

They both returned to the table.

As Zhao Hongyu picked up the chopsticks, she opened her arms and said politely as the host, "Since this is your first time visiting, feel free to start."

"Huh! Don't even think about coming here the second time!" Zhao Yanzi mumbled.

"Zi!" Zhao Hongyu said to Zhao Yanzi with a stern tone.

Zhao Yanzi pouted and picked up her chopsticks.

Xie Yujia smiled awkwardly and said, "Thanks, Auntie."

Zhao Hongyu slightly nodded. Then, she looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia and thought. "I have to admit, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia look great together. Compare to Zhao Yanzi, who has a bad temper, Xie Yujia gives people a sense of delightfulness."

Zhao Hongyu picked up the remote and started playing soft music in the dining room, trying to ease the awkward situation.

"How long have you been cultivating?" after a few minutes, Zhao Hongyu suddenly asked Xie Yujia.

"Um... about one to two weeks," Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Hongyu and replied.

"It seems like you are at level 3 of the Qi Refinement Realm. Your progress is quite good," Zhao Hongyu said.

"I'm quite dull in regard to cultivation. It is all thanks to Hao Ren's guidance," Xie Yujia smiled gently and said.

"This girl does make people feel comfortable..." Zhao Hongyu thought. Then, she asked again, "Are you normally busy with your studies?"

"It's alright. Usually, I spend my days going to the library and reading books," Xie Yujia answered.

"What if..." Zhao Hongyu suddenly lowered her tone, "Could Zi learn from you when you are free?"

"Huh?" Xie Yujia was surprised, "You mean... help her study?"

"Mom! I don't want to study with her!" Zhao Yanzi yelled.

"Not studying," Zhao Hongyu looked at Xie Yujia with her bright eyes and said, "I'm talking about cultivation."

"Cultivation?" Xie Yujia was even more surprised, and she quickly waved her hands. "I'm really bad at cultivation right now..."

Hao Ren, too, was a bit shocked as he never would've thought that Zhao Hongyu invited Xie Yujia over to discuss this.

Since this was the case, then Zhao Guang wasn't here not because of some emergencies; he probably wanted to give them a more relaxed atmosphere to discuss this issue.

"Hao Ren is at a higher level compare to me. Why not ask him to teach Zi?" Xie Yujia blushed when she saw Zhao Hongyu staring at her, so she tried to put the spotlight on Hao Ren.

"Oh, for some reasons, Zi can't cultivate like Hao Ren," Zhao Hongyu stopped for a moment before continuing, "Your master is willing to accept Zi as her non-official disciple, but Zi will need your help cultivating."

"Zhao Hongyu had met that old Grandma already?" Hao Ren was more shocked.

"Zi was at Zhen-level before. Because of some incidents, she lost all her power. Now, she is getting weaker and weaker, which is what I'm concerned about," Zhao Hongyu directly stated her concerns.

It was extremely dangerous for dragon cultivators to lose their dragon cores. Although it wasn't easy for adult dragon cultivators to lose their dragon cores, they would definitely die if someone else took it away from them. Since Zhao Yanzi was still growing, she could stay alive for a few years even though she lost her dragon core. However, as a member of the Dragon Tribe, the weakening of her body would become more and more evident without the support of the dragon core.

Zhao Yanzi had never gotten sick before. However, she got a fever a while ago; that was an example.

Although she could be quite irritating sometimes, she did, in fact, need protection.

When that Old Grandma came to visit, she gave Zhao Hongyu some advice.

Although she couldn't make a dragon core out of thin air, nor could she fix Zhao Yanzi's problem, she informed Zhao Yanzi's parents that Zhao Yanzi could cultivate like a human cultivator and absorb nature essence to improve her health. She might even be able to use some of the cultivation techniques.

This advice gave Zhao Hongyu some hope. Not even the best elixir pills or spiritual herbs from the dragon palace could change the fact that Zhao Yanzi's body was becoming weaker and weaker. However, if Zhao Yanzi started to practice human cultivation techniques, it could at least assure Zhao Yanzi's good health within three years.

In addition, Zhao Yanzi had a great body type known as the 'Heavenly Spirit Body Type' since she was a dragon. Compared to ordinary humans, she had much higher potential.

Another thing was that... Although Zhao Yanzi was a non-official disciple of that old Grandma, to others, she was related to a Soul Formation Realm cultivator.

Even if the old Grandma wasn't going to do anything to help East Ocean, other people couldn't dare to bully or hurt Zhao Yanzi anymore.
