Chapter 596 - Make Peace?!

The pile of snacks that Zhao Yanzi brought over included drinks, chips, ham, beef jerky, salty fish, rice pudding…
Hao Ren looked at her in shock.
“How do you have so much food?” he asked.
“I’m easily hungry, so I prepared them!” Zhao Yanzi answered.
In fact, she did not only bring food. During the last few trips to Fifth Heaven, she also brought other things such as a fur blanket for the stone bed, plushy toys, alarm clocks…
The cold cave Hao Ren made for Zhao Yanzi was decorated beautifully. This was her nature as a girl.
Xie Yujia preferred simplicity and did not decorate her cave, but Zhao Yanzi liked to make her room cozy. She could only cultivate at ease in this environment.
The food she brought over this time was stored in her cave so that she could have some when she got hungry during cultivation. Now that they could not return home for a while, she brought them over to share with Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.
Duan Yao had never seen such things. On the cold stone chair, she opened her eyes wide open and stared at the strange things on the bed.
“Hey, have some band-aids.” Zhao Yanzi took out two band-aids from her pile of stuff and handed them to Xie Yujia.
“Thank you.” Xie Yujia took the band-aids and turned her back against Hao Ren.
“What’s wrong?” Hao Ren went closer and saw Xie Yujia tearing open the band-aids and putting them on her palm.
He immediately reached over and took Xie Yujia’s palm, and he saw deep cuts running through her palm and fingers!
Even though these deep cuts weren’t bleeding anymore, Hao Ren could still imagine the pain just from seeing them!
“I’m fine!” Xie Yujia pulled her hand back and put on the band-aids.
These were cuts from drawing her bow. However, these wounds were not severe like the one on Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder, so Xie Yujia was reluctant to use level 4 detox pills; she only sealed the wounds with nature essence and let the palm heal slowly.
“Eh…” Hao Ren did not notice the cuts in Xie Yujia’s palm. Now that he saw these scary deep wounds, he was heartbroken.
When he looked closely, there were also shallow red marks on her arm; they seemed to be created by tree branches. Since they were shallow, it was hard to spot them without paying close attention.
Zhao Yanzi’s injury was mainly on the shoulder. If the injury were closer to her heart, it would have been fatal.
Xie Yujia’s injuries were mainly internal. She almost used up all her nature essence to power the demonic bow since the Sky-Turning Stamp continuously bombarded her. Flying gravel also left marks on her skin, and many small veins in her body were also broken.
Zhao Yanzi saw Hao Ren holding Xie Yujia’s right hand and felt very complicated.
Xie Yujia just risked her life to use the demonic bow to save Zhao Yanzi, and then she was attacked by Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp.
Zhao Yanzi thought carefully and felt like she caused Xie Yujia’s injuries. If Xie Yujia did not hear the noise or intentionally stayed inside, she would not have much responsibility anyway.
If Zhao Yanzi died, then Xie Yujia could live happily ever after with Hao Ren…
“Eat something…” Zhao Yanzi opened a bottle of rice pudding and gave it to Xie Yujia.
“Eh…” Xie Yujia nodded slightly and scooped with a small plastic spoon.
Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi’s complex look and guessed that it was because Xie Yujia risked her life to save Zhao Yanzi, so the latter must be feeling guilty now.
Zhao Yanzi actually did not make much trouble. The thing was that if someone messed with her, she must fight back. Overall, she was just too naïve about Fifth Heaven.
“What are you looking at?!” Zhao Yanzi was upset and realized that Duan Yao was staring at her, so she yelled fiercely and took Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp to the cave entrance.
Duan Yao gritted her teeth but held back and did not argue with Zhao Yanzi. She felt like she couldn’t mess with Zhao Yanzi easily. Like Zhao Yanzi, she was also too naïve about Fifth Heaven.
“Rise!”
Zhao Yanzi raised the Sky-Turning Stamp as she injected some nature essence into it.
The Sky-Turning Stamp did not budge; nothing happened.
In the valley, the golden shield was still making circles.
“Release!” Zhao Yanzi tried again.
She had witnessed the power of the Sky-Turning Stamp. She thought if she could use this dharma treasure, she could help later when the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect cultivators attacked.
The heavy Sky-Turning Stamp still did not move.
Zhao Yanzi rushed back to the cave angrily and questioned Duan Yao, “Speak! How do you use this dharma treasure!?”
Duan Yao raised her head and glared at Zhao Yanzi, not answering anything.
“You really think I will not do anything to you?” Zhao Yanzi raised the Sky-Turning Stamp.
Duan Yao still glared at Zhao Yanzi silently.
With the Sky-Turning Stamp raised, Zhao Yanzi hesitated for a few seconds and put down her arm. She was only trying to scare Duan Yao.
“This dharma treasure can only be activated by fire-elemental nature essence. Your nature essence is water-elemental, so you cannot use it,” Hao Ren said.
Hearing Hao Ren’s casual remark, Duan Yao was surprised. She did not expect Hao Ren to know this detail about the Sky-Turning Stamp only with a simple touch.
“Oh, that’s why…” Zhao Yanzi massaged her shoulder and placed the Sky-Turning Stamp on the table.
The Big Dipper Constellation Scroll that Duan Yao cultivated was acquired by Sky Mountain Sect from Seventh Heaven. Since Sky Mountain Sect wished to pass down this technique, they asked for one which did not have special requirements. Therefore, that was why Zhao Yanzi could also cultivation this technique.
It was the same for the Purple Green Treasure Sword. As a great treasure of Sky Mountain Sect, it was not only limited to fire-elemental cultivators.
However, this Sky-Turning Stamp was different. It was Duan Yao’s grand uncle-master’s personal dharma treasure, and he was of pure fire body type.
Since Duan Yao was gifted and had the same body type, her grand uncle-master brought up Duan Yao by his side and loved her.
The reason why he lent the Sky-Turning Stamp to Duan Yao was that she was a fire-element Core Formation Realm cultivator; she had the ability to use it.
“Humph, this Sky-Turning Stamp was my grand uncle-master’s treasure. You think you can use it?” When Duan Yao saw Zhao Yanzi giving up on the Sky-Turning Stamp, she finally found an opportunity to taunt her.
This treasure was indestructible, so Duan Yao was not worried that they might destroy it.
“Is that so?” Hao Ren smiled and raised his right hand.
The Sky-Turning Stamp that was on the stone table suddenly flew into Hao Ren’s hand.
Hao Ren shook his hand slightly, and the Sky-Turning Stamp glowed with a golden light.
Bam! A streak of golden light broke through the cave entrance and struck toward the sky.
Stunned and speechless, Duan Yao looked to Hao Ren and didn’t know how to react
Xie Yujia saw Duan Yao’s expression, shook her head with a smile, and continued drawing her essence-locking notes.
Hao Ren then threw the Sky-Turning Stamp on the stone table. The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could convert and release five-elemental nature essence, so a pure fire-elemental dharma treasure like this was even simpler to use.
Xie Yujia’s Life-Death Notes could also simulate five-elemental nature essence, but her realm was low, so she was not capable of using a high-level dharma treasure like this without the unique dharma spell.
“You see it? Garbage dharma treasure!” Zhao Yanzi stared at Duan Yao, arms crossed.
Duan Yao’s bit her lips and didn’t know what to say.
Now, she was more assured of the fact that Hao Ren was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Otherwise, she felt like she wouldn’t be defeated so easily before, and Hao Ren couldn’t use her grand uncle-master’s dharma treasure.
The heat in her belly was still slowly emitting energy. Even though she couldn’t use any nature essence, her injuries were recovering.
“It seems like this pervert did not feed me a poisonous pill but a great healing pill,” Duan Yao thought as she looked at Hao Ren, “That’s it. He has two beautiful concubines, one gentle and one petite. He is not in a hurry to…”
She watched Hao Ren on the stone bed, eating golden flaky objects from a small brown bag. He did not glance at her at all, and she felt a little disappointed.
Only at the age of 16, she had already reached the Core Formation Realm. She was a genius of Sky Mountain Sect, and she was also vivacious and beautiful.
There were many cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who pursued her, but Duan Yao’s goal was the Nascent Soul Realm. Her grand uncle-master told her that she had the potential of getting to the Nascent Soul Realm, so she had not fallen in love with any of those pursuers.
The husband in her dreams at the very least had to be at the Nascent Soul Realm, but most of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were old men. Therefore, she was discouraged.
“This Hao Ren has reached the Nascent Soul Realm at such a young age… Perhaps he is not young, but the way he acted does not feel old…” Duan Yao secretly peeked at Hao Ren and thought he was better than all her pursuers in her sect.
“No, no, no… What am I thinking! He already has two concubines. Also, we are mortal enemies. Even if we are on neutral terms, as the dignified daughter of Sky Mountain Sect Master, I would not give in and become a concubine!” Duan Yao thought.
She bit her tongue a little to wake herself up. Then, she thought that the elixir pill that Hao Ren fed her was affecting her.
The wound on her tongue had already healed, and her shoulder which was stabbed by Xie Yujia’s energy arrow also started to recover.
“Rumble…” Her hungry stomach started to make noises.
“This is yummy.” Hao Ren sat on the stone bed and split a few pieces of biscuits with Zhao Yanzi.
“I bought this at the school’s supermarket. This brand tastes the best,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Crunch… Crunch…” These ‘golden flaky objects’ in Duan Yao’s eyes made crisp sounds in their mouths, and the sweet smell permeated the cave.
“Little White, come to have some!” Zhao Yanzi threw a couple of pieces to Little White.
“Slurp slurp…” Little White stuck out its long red tongue and chewed on the crispy biscuits happily.
Duan Yao watched them and could not help but drool.
