Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 244 — Hug Longing
By flying Zhou Yuan could shorten the time it took to go to his family residence but because the distance of the Chu clan and the Zhou Family was quite far so that to get there he still took days.
During the two days of leaving the Chu clan, Zhou Yuan continued to fly nonstop. Zhou Yuan was in a hurry because he was worried that something bad had happened to his family or those closest to him.
The situation of the deteriorating martial world does not rule out the possibility of unexpected things can happen. Zhou Yuan wanted to arrive immediately but his inner strength was thinning and he would have to land and replenish his inner power again.
"I think this is a good place to rest..." Zhou Yuan found a stream near the mountainous region.
The river water looked clear and fresh, Zhou Yuan then landed there before washing his face with the river water.
"Ah, this is more refreshing than I thought." Zhou Yuan wiped his lips, in addition to washing his face he also drank the river water that felt cold in the throat.
Zhou Yuan then took a comfortable place on the river bank before sitting cross-legged and recharging his inner strength.
To speed up his recovery he used stealth gems obtained from spider demons in the Ancient Tombs.
The gem was quite large and could increase the capacity of Zhou Yuan's inner circle to six thousand circles if it absorbed the stealth gem entirely.
Zhou Yuan started to absorb the stealth gems but just a few minutes into it, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt the presence of someone around him.
Zhou Yuan looked around the river but there was no one in sight there while the man's presence felt not far from where Zhou Yuan was sitting. This made the vigilance of the young man iyu increase followed by he pulled out the sword kusanagi from the space ring.
That person's presence grew more and more pronounced until a red mist suddenly formed before Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan was startled then immediately jumped back quite a distance, the red mist grew thicker and larger in size. Zhou Yuan who was initially surprised now realized that the red mist was a fog that formed a portal.
Zhou Yuan recalled that Yun Feiyu had once said that his grandson Yun Bailian would be going to his world soon. Zhou Yuan guessed that the portal was the appearance of Bailian but his conjecture turned out to be wrong.
After the portal grew to the size of an adult, a girl with pink hair came out. The sharpness was sweet with the beauty of an angel who descended from the sky, the girl was the person Zhou Yuan knew, Jiang Yifei.
Before Zhou Yuan said a word, Jiang Yifei immediately came over and immediately hugged him.
Zhou Yuan was surprised by the girl's action let alone Yifei's embrace looking so tight.
"Yuan gege, I miss you..." Yifei's voice rang out as the girl buried her face in Zhou Yuan's chest.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly before stroking the head of the girl, "I didn't expect you to come this fast, where are the others?"
"Sister Linxia and Brother Rou are still in Aunt Feiyu's training, I'm allowed to go home because my Aunt said I've finished her training..." Clearly Yifei was brief.
Jiang Yifei, Linxia, and Xiao Rou were indeed trained by Yun Feiyu but the way the three trained was different.
For example, Yifei, because he has a high ability of changing the type of fire, Feiyu teaches about fire techniques to the girl as well as Linxia and Xiao Rou who are taught swordsmanship.
Yifei also said Bailian who should have come here first could not come any faster because Yun Feiyu gave him additional training.
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly and slightly understood the situation, he could see that Yifei's strength had now increased to that of a Light Realm swordsman with 3 meridians open.
This increase was fairly quick especially Yifei and Zhou Yuan were the same age only a few months older than him.
"Of course, do you want to see my current strength, we can practice sparring."
Zhou Yuan chuckled softly before poking the girl's nose, "I've just rested, my inner strength is barely left after flying for so long."
"Then you must rest..." Yifei.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, "It's hard for me to rest if you hold me still like this."
Zhou Yuan was still hugging the girl while the two were talking, Yifei who was shorter in height than Zhou Yuan had to raise his head when speaking.
Yifei chuckled, instead of following Zhou Yuan's words the girl hugged him even tighter.
Zhou Yuan smiled and let the girl hug him for longer, indeed among his three girls, other than the most jutek Jiang Yifei was the most spoiled girl.
Zhou Yuan stroked Yifei's hair gently, after a few minutes the girl finally let go back.
"Where are you going?" After hugging, Yifei realized his location was now on the side of the river.
Zhou Yuan replied that he was returning to his home, the Zhou Family.
Yifei then asked Zhou Yuan to rest. "You just recover your energy, while waiting I'll make a good meal for you..."
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, from when the girl could cook, but Zhou Yuan did not comment further but instead directly continued to charge into her inner strength.
Zhou Yuan saw Yifei creating a fire with his master without having to gather twigs, the fire was neither red nor blue but a white flame.
Zhou Yuan knew white flames were the next level of the Jiang Family's blue fire technique. Zhou Yuan was a little surprised as he himself had not been able to fully master as Yifei had done.
If Jiang Qisha had known his daughter had mastered white flames in her teens, the Moon Emperor would have probably vomited blood and been shocked to death.
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes again and began to concentrate on absorbing the stealth gems in his hands, after an hour he again bullied Yifei because the girl's cooking was ripe.
"Try it, it's my cooking and maybe you'll like it." Yifei gave the dish on which there was meat food.
Zhou Yuan gulped and licked his lips as he smelled the scent of the meat, his originally not hungry stomach suddenly sounded when he saw the delicious-looking cuisine of Yifei.
Jiang Yifei smiled happily at Zhou Yuan's reaction, he then told his lover to give it a try.
Without a second thought Zhou Yuan picked up one of the pieces of meat with his chopsticks, his happy face instantly changed after the meat touched his tongue, zhou Yuan's forehead wrinkled quite a lot as he felt such a great salty taste.
"How, good, isn't it?" Yifei asked impatiently, waiting for Zhou Yuan's assessment.
Zhou Yuan swallowed the meat with great difficulty to get to his throat, "It's very tasty..." Smiling gently.
Zhou Yuan was trying to maintain his countenance in order to keep smiling, seeing Yifei who was so eager to cook for him was impossible for him to honestly comment which might hurt the girl's feelings.
