Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 29 — Fiancee
"No wonder this pill is very sought after in all directions, its efficacy can not be underestimated..." Zhou Yuan clucked in awe in his heart after refining a hundred percent Golden Silk Pill into his body, Zhou Yuan's strength had increased quite rapidly.
Starting from the Diamond Bone Technique that he had trained all this time had now reached 90% making Zhou Yuan's physical strength stronger than before. In addition, his inner energy had also numbered 100 circles.
In the martial world, that much inner power could usually only be achieved by warriors who had lived for decades, his father Zhou Yao had not reached 100 inner power circles.
Not only that, Zhou Yuan's other physical forging had also increased, such as Cleansing Marrow, Blood Washing, Muscle Building and Five Indra Sharpening had all reached 20%.
With his current physical sturdiness, Zhou Yuan did not mind if he had to use the Fire Sword Technique, his body would not experience any side effects like the previous events.
Although it did not break through to the next stage after swallowing the Golden Silk Pill but Zhou Yuan's combat strength remained up, with his current strength, it was not difficult for him to defeat the Gold Realm swordsman at the lower middle stage.
Zhou Yuan moved his body after a long cross-legged time, he did not even know how many days he had passed to absorb the Golden Silk Pill.
Surprisingly Zhou Yuan did not feel hungry during the old practice, probably because the Golden Silk Pill that made his stomach continue to feel full.
Zhou Yuan came out of the basement and saw the sky was bright, he then went towards his house.
"Yuan'er, are you out?" Lin Ruyue who first saw Zhou Yuan followed Zhou Yao after.
Lin Ruyue was still lying on her bed even though her condition had now improved on her previous appeal, while Zhou Yao had always accompanied and looked after his wife at all times.
When they saw Zhou Yuan return, the couple were shocked as they sensed a different aura of Zhou Yuan's power.
"Yuan'er, it looks like your training went well..." Zhou Yao gulped, he had not expected his son's training for five days ago to make Zhou Yuan's progress to this level.
Zhou Yao had already realized how Zhou Yuan's talent had been since he was a toddler but still he had not gotten used to the development of his son's strength which he felt was quite terrifying.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly looking at the gazes of his parents filled with shock. Zhou Yuan then asked Zhou Bing for whereabouts, he had promised that he would have to report his progress to his grandfather.
"The Chief of the Family came home two days ago, he was looking for you but Dad said that you were doing closed-door training." Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he immediately went to see his grandfather who happened to be in his study.
"Young master, is there a need to be conveyed to the Chairman?" One of the officers guarding the door of the room Zhou Bing asked in a respectful manner.
"Is Grandpa inside, I want to see him."
The attendant nodded, then went inside and reported his arrival, before long the officer again informed Zhou Yuan.
"The Chief of the Family lets you in..." The officer opened the door of the room.
Zhou Yuan thanked him and went into Zhou Bing's office, where he saw his grandfather sitting on his desk chair.
Like his parents before him, Zhou Bing's reaction did not differ much when he saw Zhou Yuan's development that had improved greatly.
"Grandfather, said Grandpa's father looking for me, is there something he wants to give?"
Zhou Bing chuckled at his grandson's question, as if he was indeed too pampering Zhou Yuan until when called by him, the grandson thought that he would give something to him.
The thought was not wrong as Zhou Yuan subconsciously hoped that his Grandfather would give something more for him.
"Yuan'er, a few days ago Grandfather went to the Capital to meet his Imperial Majesty, there Grandfather heard about a competition to find the Moon Orchid that would soon begin..."
Previously Zhou Bing could not attend the birth of his grandson Zhou Yuyin because back then he had to go fulfill the call of the Moon Emperor in the Imperial capital.
While there Zhou Bing heard the news that Lin Ruyue had given birth and it made her happy but she could not go home at that time.
It took him at least a month in the capital before Zhou Bing could return, congratulating Lin Ruyue and Zhou Yao on the presence of his baby again. Zhou Bing was even given the opportunity to carry his second grandson.
"The competition was held in the Green Bamboo sect which was usually held for once every ten years, only young people could follow it and it just so happened that this year they could do that competition again..." Added Zhou Bing.
"Grandfather, does Yuan have to enter that competition?"
Zhou Bing shook his head. "It doesn't have to be but if you want, Grandpa can register it."
Zhou Bing explained that he also had other needs in the Green Bamboo Sect especially with their Patriarch Sect.
There was a cooperative relationship that was established between the Green Bamboo Sect and the Zhou Family for a long time even arguably the relationship between the two was very close like someone who was friendly.
"Oh yeah, there's also your fiancee, she's the son of the Patriarch that I want to meet. You can meet him if you enter this competition."
"T-fiancee..." Zhou Yuan was surprised. "Grandfather, what does that mean with Fiancee?"
Zhou Bing frowned. "From your reaction it seems like Yao'er hasn't told you this news yet."
Zhou Bing explained that since Zhou Yuan was still in the womb, he had been betrothed to the daughter of the Patriarch of the Green Bamboo Sect.
Nobles families always betroth their children whether it is for the sake of political continuity or simply forge close relationships between the Family, the family, even Zhou Yuan's parents Zhou Yao and Lin Ruyue were arranged before they were married to bring closer the good relationship between the Zhou Nobles Family and the Lin Nobles Family.
"But Grandpa, I'm 12..." Zhou Yuan swallowed his saliva, he was unprepared for the relationship.
"Of course you're young, Grandpa didn't want to take care of your relationship but at least you could see your future fiancee. I heard that the Patriarch Sect's daughter's beauty was well-known to the entire Moon Empire."
Zhou Bing's statement did not make Zhou Yuan any better. He may think of a romance in this second life someday but not for the near future.
