Chapter Fifty-Seven: Embracing Beauty and Returning Home

  After experiencing this series of misfortunes, Yang Hao finally had something good happen to him, and it could be said that he benefited from the disaster. His current physical body is much stronger than his previous one. Although Yang Hao's abilities have all been lost, his physical sensitivity has increased greatly compared to before. Even though his eyes can't see, his body can feel things, and due to the influence of the thousand-year-old ginseng's spiritual energy, Yang Hao's surroundings are like being wrapped in an inflated balloon, and gravity's effect on him seems negligible. After rebirth, he couldn't even stand steadily, and if he wasn't careful for a moment, he would instantly float away 6-7 steps. When walking, as soon as his feet applied a bit of force, his entire body would lift off the ground. It seems that to walk like a normal person without revealing any flaws, he still needs some time to adapt and practice.

  "He's dead~~ Ah~~~~" Yang Hao heard this and got slightly excited, his body leaned forward lightly, and he flew out, falling down at the entrance of the cave. Yunxue and Zilei hurriedly came up to help him up, but when they saw Yang Hao's disheveled appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.

  "This trip to Changbai was really not in vain, it broadened my horizons... Some things I've seen before, some I haven't, some I've heard of and some I haven't, all came together..." Hei Niu looked at Yang Hao who was standing aside, lost in thought after his rebirth.

  "Alright~~ Hei Niu, this trip to Changbai was also thanks to you being here. I sincerely want to be friends with you, but Hei Niu, I hope you keep all of this hidden in your heart and don't tell anyone... otherwise there will only be bad consequences and no good ones." Yang Hao wrapped his arms around Yunxue and Zilei's waists, not daring to move again. However, his eyes flowed with genuine emotions as he said a sentence to Hei Niu. Actually, Hei Niu was already quite extraordinary for an ordinary person. At their first meeting, he treated Yang Hao and the others like old friends, taking risks to lead them into the primeval forest. Later, when facing the mountain goblin, he was also calm and composed, assisting Yang Hao in defeating the evil Daoist. From the start of their journey, Hei Niu had taken on the responsibility of providing all the necessities for daily life, including food and fruit. Such a selfless person is now rare."

  "Heh heh... I'm glad that Black Cow has friends like you guys, it's not a waste of life after all..." Black Cow scratched his head with some embarrassment.

  "Ah Hao, let's hurry back as soon as possible, your master doesn't know how things are going, and... you haven't been home for a long time, Uncle Yang and Auntie Yang must be worried..." Yunxue's words reminded Yang Hao, which made his heart surge with boundless anticipation. Anticipation of meeting his master, anticipation of the trivial matters at home with his parents.

  "Uh... I know this one... right, Ziti, what about you? What are your plans?" Yang Hao turned his head to look at Ziti, asking with a worried face.

  "About Ah~~ Zi Lei, what do you plan to do? Difei brother has already ascended. Although I understand the feelings between you two, but Difei won't come back again, you should also think about your own future...". Hu Tou asked following that.

  "I... I don't know..." Zi Lei's face was filled with confusion and uncertainty...

  "Why don't you come with us? Leaving you alone in this vast forest makes us uneasy. Besides, there's no one to be seen here for a long time, and you'll definitely get lonely... You see..."

  "Alright, Zǐ Lèi sister, ā Hào was right, let's hurry up and go with them." After hearing Yún Xuě's words, Zǐ Lèi also felt a bit moved. Alright, she had already endured a thousand years of loneliness, a thousand years of resentment, must she continue on? But it seemed like there was still something she couldn't put down, and she was hesitating as if waiting for someone's promise.

  "This is probably a bit inconvenient, I'll go and there will be one more person, how can you accommodate us? Besides, I still have two maids, I couldn't just abandon them, could I?" Zi Lei expressed her concerns.

  "What's the big deal? Even if you don't go, I was planning to buy a house myself... Living with my parents is really inconvenient, so just relax and come with us, at worst we'll just buy a bigger house, besides, look at me now, I'm not like I can leave you behind..." Yang Hao said, using the hand that was holding Zi Lei's to pinch her waist.

  Zi Lei glanced at Yang Hao again and actually blushed ~~ then avoided Yang Hao's gaze.

  "If you don't speak, I'll take it as you agreed, haha... Let's go, make way, make way..." Yang Hao saw Zi Lei not speaking and very arrogantly hugged the two beauties, preparing to walk out.

  "Look at my virtue, can't leave you behind~~~Really shameless…..” After Tiger Head muttered a sentence to Yang Hao, he pulled Black Cow and ran towards the outside of the cave. This sentence made Zi Lei's face even redder.

  "Sister..." Yunxue gave Zilei a look and then the two women suddenly let go of each other's hands and ran out laughing. Zilei's two maids happened to be walking up to Yanghao at this time, looked at Yanghao covering his mouth and following his master running out.

  "You guys are too careless...Kerry..." Yang Hao looked at Kerry with a pitiful gaze, placing his hopes on him.

  "Oh? Are you calling me again? I wanted to help you, but there's a Chinese saying that goes 'men and women should not be too familiar', if your master finds out you hugged me, he'll probably expel you!" Kari said as she smoothed her long hair with one hand, tossed her head, puffed out her chest, and walked out.

  "I'll just hug you, Master, why did you have to take me in? It's inexplicable... Hey, how come you all left? I hate you guys......" After a group of people walked out of the cave, they heard a faint resentful voice and a series of miserable cries. In the end, it was still Tiger Head who relented and went back to help Yang Hao up.

  "See... women are unreliable, at critical moments still have to rely on brothers..."

  "Get lost... I'll settle with you later, these two stinky girls are waiting for me, I won't let them off...". Tiger Head looked at Yang Hao and shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression, he accompanied Yang Hao back to the road they came from... Just like this, the group of people chatted and laughed as they returned to Changbai Airport. After saying goodbye to Black Cow, after more than two hours, Yang Hao and the others finally returned to DL city, which they had left for a long time.

  "Master~~~~ disciple wishes you peace~~~~"

  "Ah Hao! Come quickly... come let me take a look..." Yang Hao had just gotten off the plane and arrived at Yi Yang Shu's home. At this time, his master saw his disciple standing in front of him, looking good, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement...

  "Junior brother~~~~ you're back~~~~"

  "Let me take a look... not bad, not bad at all... even stronger than before..." Yu Deng and Yu Zhuo had already recovered by this time, and upon seeing Yang Hao return, they too were excited and gathered around asking questions left and right.

  "Ah Hao, is this body of yours really made from thousand-year-old ginseng?"

  "Ah~~ Master, this time it was truly worth the trip... Listen to me slowly tell you...", Yang Hao recounted in detail the events that occurred on this trip to Changbai Mountain, from the great battle with the mountain goblin, to killing Yiyeh, witnessing the transformation of a snake into a dragon, and obtaining the thousand-year-old ginseng fruit. All the way until the final appearance of Ao Tian, who recreated Yang Hao's physical body. All of this made Yu Deng and Yu Zhuo listen in continuous shock, even Yang's uncle himself was sometimes tense and sometimes bursting out laughing...

  "Master, what's wrong with you~~~"

  "I'm still the same as before, except for not being able to practice qigong, everything else is fine."

  "Master, this time the apprentice has brought a gift for you..."

  "What gift?" Not only was Yi Yang Shu's face full of curiosity, but also Hu Tou and Yun Xue were looking at Yang Hao with a strange expression, "When did this kid prepare the gift? How come we don't know?" Looking at the expressions of these people, Yang Hao proudly took out a ginseng from his body...

  "Master, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng that Canwa helped me build my physical body with. I secretly asked him for an extra one. Master has been held back by the corpse worm recently, and his powers must have been affected... I hope this thousand-year-old ginseng can help Master recover some of his vital energy..."

  "Haha... Ah Hao, you're thoughtful, but Master doesn't need something so precious for just this little injury."

  "Master, why are you being so distant? Anyway, I'm going to take it! You just have to accept it..." Yi Yang Shu nodded, and Yu Zhuo took the ginseng with a golden glow from Master. The two senior brothers rushed over, liking it extremely.

  "Ahao, this time you're back, haven't gone to see your parents yet???? Like this, you rest for a while, and then come back to see me again, just in time for Master to discuss an even bigger matter with you all..." Master's face seemed somewhat unpleasant, as if something bad had happened. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Kairy. Kairy suddenly had a bad premonition...

  "What's wrong? Master, don't hesitate to speak out..."

  "This thing can't be solved in a short time, so you don't need to rush to know about it, just go relax for a few days first..."

  "Alright... Master, then we'll... Ah!" Yang Hao was about to take his leave when he suddenly jumped up high again, and it took the efforts of several people around him to finally press him firmly back onto the ground.

  "What's going on??? The aura around you is so strong..." Yi Yang Shu saw through it at a glance.

  "Yes, Master, to be honest, Ao Tian said that my physical and spiritual energy are too strong, somewhat detached from the earth's gravity... so I'm not quite used to it yet, honestly, I stumble and fall, can't even stand steadily..."

  "Oh, I see... Yu Zhuo, go get Master's Bagua Yulong Step for me..." Yu Zhuo stopped his playful fight with Yu Deng and turned around to fetch a book from the house.

  "Ah Hao, this Bagua You Long Bu is precisely the step method practiced during the Hunyuan state after Jing is full and Qi is complete. Your current state is similar to the Xiantian Hunyuan state, so it's just right for you to practice this step method. It will make your body as agile as a leopard and your body as light as a swallow. Go back and practice well..." Yang Hao listened to his master's words while receiving the Bagua You Long Bu, and asked with doubt in his heart...

  "Master, why didn't you give it to me earlier?"

  "You little brat, I didn't teach you for a reason, and this Bagua Xinglong Step has high requirements for the body and internal energy. Ordinary people practicing it would be useless, and your two senior brothers still don't qualify even now. Let me tell you, the innate Hunyuan Body already has an anti-gravity effect similar to yours, if you didn't have the effects brought by the thousand-year-old ginseng, I really hadn't planned on letting you practice..."

  "Haha~~~ Then I'd like to thank Master... Guru Bai" Yang Hao happily accepted the secret book and walked out of the door with the support of Zi Lei and Yun Xue.

  "Master, who are those people around Ah Hao? I have a strange feeling... they seem like monsters..."

  "Ah... you two don't need to ask any more questions, this might just be his fate... a life of yin and yang imbalance..." Old Man Yang said slowly as he gazed at the back of Yang Hao.

  After going out, Yang Hao was accompanied by four women and one man to the mall, where they bought some new clothes, got a haircut, took a bath, and attracted many admiring and envious glances along the way. The men envied Yang Hao for having so many beautiful women surrounding him, competing with each other to show concern for him. The women were jealous that the women around Yang Hao weren't themselves... In the afternoon, at around 5 o'clock, Yang Hao and his group changed into a new set of clothes and returned home, looking refreshed and radiant. Yang's uncle and aunt hadn't seen their son in a long time and were overjoyed to see him return with such enthusiasm. However, they were perplexed by the group of beautiful women behind Yang Hao, except for Yunxue, whom they knew, the other three women were very pretty, especially Zilei, who seemed like she wasn't from this world... Her face, figure, temperament, and demeanor were all flawless... Just as they were puzzled, Yang Hao came out to explain that they were his colleagues. Although the two elders didn't believe him, they also didn't dare ask any more questions.

  The house suddenly became lively, with some people buying vegetables and others cooking. Yang Hao followed his father's buttocks, chatting about trivial matters at home, while Hu Tou helped with errands inside and out. Everything made Zi Lei feel a warmth she had never experienced before. After dinner, which was already past 10 o'clock, Yang Hao and Hu Tou washed up and went to sleep, one like a big lazy cat seeing sunlight, the other like a big lazy worm seeing a soft bed.

  After Zi Lei and Yun Xue helped to clean up, they lay on the bed and started talking about their own affairs... What should be done tomorrow? How would Yang Hao arrange the lives of these people? And how would he face Yun Xue and Zi Lei, these two women who were both human and demon, shocking and astonishing the world?
