Chapter 769 - 770: The Traces of the Dream Remain
When Yun Hao and the others walked out of the factory, the sky had completely darkened!White Tiger and Black Tortoise, with their newly acquired awesome dagger, were in high spirits. Tang Rou's jade pendant was tucked into her bosom; as for why she wasn't wearing it around her neck, it was because she was already wearing the Ice Crystal Mermaid Stone given to her by Yun Hao!
"Do you guys think this fist manual is just a useless thing? Why do I feel like the four of you are all so pleased with yourselves?" Tank looked at Yun Hao and the other four with a bit of frustration and said.
"How about I give you this sword instead?" Yun Hao offered the bronze sword he was holding!
"Forget it, I'm not used to this kind of thing. I prefer that feeling of fists landing on flesh!" Tank shook his head. He wasn't into longswords or daggers, which was why his weapon of choice was a pair of finger tigers!
"You guys go ahead, we three still have to wait and go underground with the members of Dragon Scale. After all, once they enter that barrier, they might not be able to get out!" Tang Rou whispered to Yun Hao, considering that among the many members of Dragon Scale, only the three of them possessed any inner strength.
"Alright then, be careful. Otherwise, I'll stay with you. I have a feeling there's something strange about that missing woman!" Yun Hao initially wanted to leave with Tank straight away but couldn't help worrying about the mysterious woman in the bronze coffin.
"No need, there are so many of us. Even if she shows up, we'll take her down. Besides, after hearing my report, Captain Long has already said he's sending reinforcements, so there should be no problem!"
"Alright then, Tank and I will head off. Remember to come back for breakfast tomorrow morning. If you don't, I'll call Captain Long and have him order you to return!" Yun Hao gently pinched Tang Rou's little nose, and amidst her bashful protest, he left with Tank.
When Yun Hao and Tank returned to the villas, they each went home. Tank was eager to start training in the Hundred Refinement Divine Fist, while Yun Hao, feeling a bit tired, just wanted a nice bath and a good night's sleep!
Could he not be tired? The outing had surprisingly lasted over forty hours. Who would've thought going tomb raiding would take so long, and with constant fighting at that? He wasn't as robust as Tank and the others, feeling pretty drained, especially since he had taxes to pay every day!
Upon returning to the villa, Yun Hao took a quick shower, then lay sprawled out on the bed, falling into a deep sleep!
In a daze, Yun Hao dreamt of a woman, the cheongsam-clad lady from the bronze coffin in the tomb. However, in the dream, she wasn't wearing a cheongsam but a pure white dress instead as she ran alongside him, seemingly in a schoolyard setting!
The two of them seemed silly, running and laughing loudly together until they reached an artificial lake on campus, where Yun Hao gently hugged her from behind. They stood silently like that until the sunset sank below the horizon!
"Wake up, hubby, time to get out of bed!" Yun Hao's voice from reality seeped into the dream, waking the sleeping Yun Hao!
"Give a kiss to my wife..." Yun Hao opened his arms and gently embraced Chu Yan, then in one swift motion, rolled onto the bed with her!
"Oh dear, it's morning. Get up quickly!" Chu Yan lightly slapped Yun Hao, saying coquettishly, feeling helpless against this rogue. If it were nighttime, it wouldn't be an issue, but it was morning, and Yun Hao, shockingly...was sleeping completely nude!
"Exercising in the morning is even better, sweetheart. I'm so tired from this trip; don't you want to reward me a little?" Yun Hao finally opened his sleepy eyes, looking at the person he was holding in his arms!
"If you're tired, you should rest well. Get up quickly, Wu Ma has already made breakfast and is waiting for you!" Hearing footsteps coming up the stairs, Chu Yan hurriedly pulled away from Yun Hao's embrace, rushed out of the room, and didn't forget to pull the covers over Yun Hao before slipping out!
"Sister Yan, where's Uncle? I'm here to wake him up for breakfast!" Just as Chu Yan stepped outside Yun Hao's room, she bumped into Ren Yueshan coming up from downstairs!
"He's getting up soon. We can go downstairs first!"
"I want to wake him up!"
"Hurry down, or I'll hit you!"
"Hmph, one day my cultivation will surpass yours, then I'll show you!" Ren Yueshan puffed her cheeks and glared at Chu Yan, feeling wronged. Just because she's a Sixth Grade Martial Artist doesn't mean she should always boss her around!
There's nothing impressive about it. Once she regains her strength, she'll definitely give Chu Yan a piece of her mind and stop her from always using force to suppress her!
Ren Yueshan, although unhappy, had no choice given her lack of strength compared to Chu Yan, so she obediently followed Chu Yan downstairs!
Whew, how fortunate. If that little girl had seen him lying there naked, wouldn't his reputation for the rest of his life be ruined?
Yun Hao sighed with relief, quickly got up, washed up, and got dressed. Three minutes later, he appeared at the dining table in his slippers!
Chu Yan was slightly surprised at Yun Hao's speed, but she was used to it. Because Yun Hao was even faster at one thing: taking clothes off, whether it was his own or those of the girls, he was incredibly quick!
"How are things going over there?" After almost pouring down his first bowl of congee, Yun Hao, turning to Tang Rou, gently asked.
"Still in progress. After breakfast, I have to go back there. I'm worried that the remnants of the opponent might strike back!"
"Didn't my uncle send someone over?"
"Captain Long sent three people, but right after they arrived, they encountered two people from the Snow Demon Palace. The result was mutual destruction. Although the opponents died, the three of them were also seriously injured and now almost have no combat power." Tang Rou gently wiped her lips and slowly explained to Yun Hao.
Upon hearing that two more members of the Snow Demon Palace had appeared and died on the spot, Yun Hao's heart sank. He was worried it might be Su Qiao!
"Were the two people from the Snow Demon Palace men or women? How strong were they? Compared to the five we met before, how were they?" Yun Hao asked Tang Rou.
"Two men, about as strong as those few. I didn't fight them myself, so I'm not entirely sure!" Tang Rou recalled and then softly narrated.
"Alright, I'll send the girl with you. She might be able to help a bit!" Yun Hao, relieved to hear they were two men, decided to send the girl as reinforcement.
