Chapter 496: Preparation Before Having Children!

“Ah?” Zhao Yanzi was so surprised that her mouth opened wide.
“Now! Go!” Zhao Kuo said.
“Mom…” Zhao Yanzi looked at Zhao Hongyu for help.
However, Zhao Hongyu ignored Zhao Yanzi’s plea as she stepped to Zhao Kuo’s side.
“Go!” Zhao Kuo shouted again, and he released a sword energy from his fingertip, striking the sand near Zhao Yanzi’s ankle.
Bam! Yellow sand grains splashed and prompted Zhao Yanzi to run in a hurry. After all, Zhao Kuo’s sword energies were stronger than bullets.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and put strength into his legs, catching up to Zhao Yanzi’s side.
Zhao Yanzi was a marathon champion at school, but 20 laps around Purple Bamboo Island was too much even for her.
The coastline of Purple Bamboo Island was around 12 kilometers, so 20 laps were 240 kilometers! Even if it took 4 minutes to complete a kilometer, it would take 16 hours!
“Is this a joke? I just got off the long flight, and I haven’t even rested yet!” Zhao Yanzi thought.
Thinking of this, she felt wronged…
Before, Third Uncle would spoil her on every occasion. Why did he suddenly become so strict…
Hao Ren didn’t think as much as she did, and he was only quietly adjusting his breathing and firmly running on the soft sand.
When he was in middle school, he was also on the field and track team. All his old habits were coming back.
“Hey!” Zhao Yanzi saw Hao Ren running in front of her and couldn’t help but shout.
She increased her pace and caught up with Hao Ren. She looked at Hao Ren aggrievedly and ran shoulder to shoulder by his side.
It seemed now that Third Uncle was not going to take care of her. Only Hao Ren would go through thick and thin together with her.
Hao Ren turned to look at her and smiled helplessly. He adjusted to Zhao Yanzi’s rhythm and ran at her pace.
At this moment, the blazing sun was high in the sky.
Only a few hundred meters in, Zhao Yanzi was already sweating all over her body. The sand grains were burning, which didn’t make stepping on them any easier.
They finished one lap on the beach around the island, which took them almost an hour. This was already far beyond an ordinary person’s endurance and speed. If Zhao Yanzi didn’t reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, she would have collapsed in only half an hour.
“Let’s take a break, take a break!” Zhao Yanzi gasped. She saw that Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Kuo were out of sight and shouted toward Hao Ren.
As Hao Ren was going to slow down with her, a sword energy suddenly shot down from the high ground.
Bam! It landed by Zhao Yanzi’s foot.
Zhao Yanzi was ready to sit on the beach but was forced to jump up
Bam! Bam!
Two more sword energies hit Zhao Yanzi’s left and right side. The smoldering craters were only a few centimeters away from her feet, and Zhao Yanzi clenched her teeth and ran again.
Bam! Bam! Bam! A few more sword energies landed behind her, making her unable to slow down. She was literally about to cry. She had never been treated like this.
“Come…” Hao Ren who was half a meter in front of her reached out his hand.
Zhao Yanzi clenched her teeth.
She hesitated for a few seconds and finally reached out her hand to grab Hao Ren’s.
Hao Ren held her hand and sprinted.
Bam! Bam! Bam! A dozen sword energies tightly followed their ankles.
On the mountain peak, Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Kuo stood in a pavilion as they looked at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
“To reach higher realms, strong bodies are basic requirements,” Zhao Kuo said.
“Eh. In this coming month, you should not spoil Zi,” Zhao Hongyu looked at the two small black dots far away and said faintly.
“I know. I only have a month before I go anyways,” Zhao Kuo said.
Zhao Hongyu turned to look at him. “What about Elder Xingyue?”
“I will come back and marry her after I reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm,” Zhao Kuo said.
“You confessed?” Zhao Hongyu asked immediately.
Zhao Kuo’s dark face faintly blushed. “No… Not yet.”
Zhao Hongyu sighed helplessly.
Hao Ren didn’t want to choose, and Zhao Kuo didn’t dare to face his feelings. Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought that the two were quite similar.
Zhao Kuo saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi slowing down and shot another dozen sword energies. He switched the topic and said, “This kid Hao Ren; I think he’s not bad.”
“Indeed, it is only that Zi’s realm is too low compared to Ren.” Zhao Hongyu looked at Zhao Yanzi by the shore in worry. “One day, she is going to have a child.”
“You’re afraid that her realm is too low and might face danger during childbirth?” Zhao Kuo asked.
“I certainly have this worry.” Zhao Hongyu nodded. “You know, Zhao Guang was afraid that something might happen to me, so he wouldn’t let me have another child.”
“This I know. My brother loves you very much. When my dad asked him to marry another woman, he didn’t do it,” Zhao Kuo said frankly.
“It was not only for me but also for Zi. If Zi has a half-brother, it would be hard to tell whether she could live happily,” Zhao Hongyu said.
Zhao Kuo thought about it and nodded.
Zhao Yanzi was the princess of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, so all elders in the Palace surrounded her. If she had a brother who would inherit the throne and become the future dragon king, and the mother of the future dragon king was not her biological mother…
“So, you are taking care of Xie Yujia for Zi’s sake as well?” Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo asked Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu smiled but didn’t answer.
By the shore, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were getting tired. Hao Ren was still ok, but Zhao Yanzi was almost dragging her feet across the sand.
If they weren’t forced to run fast, 20 laps wouldn’t be too difficult. However, Zhao Kuo’s sword energies forced Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi to stay at the same fast pace, which challenged their bodies’ limits.
The bodies were like containers for storing nature essence. The sturdier the bodies were, the more nature essence they could store. Challenging one’s body to the extreme could temper the body and also work the mind.
The sun gradually set into the ocean in the West, but Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were still running. Zhao Yanzi had never suffered so much before. Her cultivation path in the past was relaxed and easy, and it was nothing like this.
She was deceived by Third Uncle and forced to train this hard.
Hao Ren’s footsteps were still calm and stable. He held Zhao Yanzi’s arm and continued to run along the coastline.
On the mountain, Zhao Kuo stood still and supervised them. If they slacked slightly, unrelenting sword energies would land by their feet.
The moon was bright, and the stars began to fade. It was almost morning again.
“Third Uncle! I can’t run anymore!” Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but beg for mercy.
She wanted to reach the Core Formation Realm to defeat Duan Yao, but she would instead give up this thought after this torturous experience. Third Uncle’s training method was too difficult!
On the peak, Zhao Kuo didn’t answer. Three sword energies arrived and wrecked Zhao Yanzi’s shoes.
“I can’t run anymore!” Zhao Yanzi sat on the beach, determined to make a scene.
She knew Zhao Kuo cherished her and wouldn’t really hurt her.
“If you don’t finish running, don’t call me as your uncle in the future!” Zhao Kuo roared toward Zhao Yanzi fiercely.
Zhao Yanzi was so scared that she trembled all over. She had never seen Third Uncle being so cruel to her, so she knew Third Uncle was not joking. She held tears in her eyes and finally got up and continued running.
Standing on the peak, Zhao Kuo felt somewhat apologetic. But as Zhao Hongyu said, the more relaxed they were now, the more danger they would be in in the future.
His mom was a Qian-level cultivator. In 100 years, she gave birth to three sons and passed away afterward.
With Zhao Yanzi’s low realm, she might not be able to stand it after giving birth to one dragon baby.
As her Third Uncle, Zhao Kuo wanted to hold his grandnephew or her grandniece! As for himself, he had decided not to have children!
Therefore, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s baby in the future would be treated by him as his own grandson or granddaughter!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo released dozens of sword energies that followed Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi. They forced the two to scream and ran furiously.
“Hahahaha!” Zhao Kuo laughed happily.
Soon, the sun once again slowly fell to the west, and Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi finally completed the 20 laps. They were rumbling with hunger and trembling all over. Hao Ren had to carry Zhao Yanzi on his back to finish the last three laps.
“Starting from tomorrow, five laps a day for Zi, and ten laps a day for Hao Ren. But Hao Ren, you have to run with tires, and the number of tires increases by one each day.”
Zhao Kuo pointed to the forest to his left.
In the forest, there were dozens of tires piled up, and they were the big tires for heavy trucks!
“I will guide your cultivations as well. Zi’s cultivation session is in the morning, which is after five laps. Hao Ren’s cultivation session is at night, which is after ten laps,” Zhao Kuo said.
“After cultivation, may I go play or sleep?” Zhao Yanzi pouted and looked at Zhao Kuo pitifully.
If she knew it was such cruel training, she wouldn’t have begged Third Uncle to train her in the first place.
“You can, but after you complete your homework,” Zhao Kuo said.
“Homework?” Zhao Yanzi was thrilled. “I have completed all my summer homework a few days ago!”
“Your mom got you three Grade Nine textbooks. This summer, you must finish reading them,” Zhao Kuo said.
Zhao Yanzi opened her mouth wide in surprise. Then, she swung Zhao Kuo’s arm in a pettishly charming manner and said, “Third Uncle…”
Zhao Kuo began to sweat on his forehead. “I cannot help you. It is what your dad instructed.”
Pa! Zhao Yanzi sat on the sand, and she felt like crying.
“How is this a summer holiday? This is hell!” she thought.
“Also, Hao Ren, I have arranged your residence. You will be sleeping in the forest.” Zhao Kuo pointed to a hut in the forest. “Live there; you’ll feel the heaven and earth better.”
Hao Ren opened his eyes wide and thought, “This… This is out of envy! You think I’m too intimate with Zhao Yanzi, right?”
“Zi, you must be hungry. Let’s go and eat.” Zhao Kuo revealed his spoiling expression and said to Zhao Yanzi as he took her to the glamorous palace.
He suddenly looked at Hao Ren again with another expression. “Oh, Hao Ren, you must find food by yourself on this island. This is a form of cultivation as well.”
“Eh…” Hao Ren looked at him, stunned.
A few days later, the ragged Hao Ren had several ropes tied around his waist as he dragged several giant tires and ran along the beach…
After ten days, he was up to a dozen tires… After more than thirty days, more than 30 tires were dashing on the beach, sending sand grains into the sky.
The barefooted Hao Ren strode forward, and his body was full of strength. The muscles on his body were bulging, and the tires that were being pulled left deep grooves around the island, looking like a moat without water!
