Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 196 — Three Years Progress
"Yuan'er, did you come back here?" Yun Feiyu put on a sullen face.
"Sorry Aunt, I didn't mean to hide, I just wanted to see my training ground one last time..." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly before looking at the sakura tree in the middle of the lake.
It had been almost three years since Zhou Yuan was accidentally thrown into another world, he now had to leave his training ground which he had occupied during that period of time.
Zhou Yuan had undergone many changes to him both physically and in strength. The man looked more beautiful as he grew older while on the other hand, his strength had also increased.
Zhou Yuan who was now close to 18 years old had managed to reach the powers of the Light Realm swordsman with 8 open meridians.
Aided by Yun Feiyu, Zhou Yuan received so much input and knowledge about martial arts that he gained an understanding that he managed to surpass his strength in the first life.
Not only a matter of strength, the energy within Zhou Yuan had also formed rapidly in his dantian after quite a lot of extracting the Sun Orchid and the stealth gems, as well, if it was rounded up then Zhou Yuan's inner circle of energy had now exceeded the five thousand inner power mark.
In the martial world of the Moon Empire, a swordsman who possessed that much inner power could almost be said to be non-existent.
Generally the light natural swordsman has a thousand inner power circles while the most one only reaches two thousand circles. Zhou Yuan alone who was in position right now still did not expect himself to have this much inner power.
"Yuan'er, you can come here anytime as long as you want, now you can freely move anywhere without worrying about anything disturbing." Yun Feiyu also patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Zhou Yuan tried to smile then nodded, Feiyu's words were indeed true because at this time he could freely move anywhere either by land or sea, Zhou Yuan could fly in the air.
"Auntie, thank you for teaching me
how to fly, this is a very useful technique for me." Zhou Yuan bowed his body.
After opening the 8th meridian, Yun Feiyu proposed that Zhou Yuan practice flying because by the power level he was already qualified to do so.
For a week later Zhou Yuan trained in Feiyu's guidance until he could finally master the science of flying completely. According to Feiyu, a swordsman could fly when his inner power had already reached 5000 power in and above.
"You know me as Yuan'er, I told you, consider me a friend or someone close to you. You don't need to be that formal." Yun Feiyu puffed her cheeks stifled.
Zhou Yuan scratched his non-itchy nose, feiyu's cheerful attitude and having a face like a young girl did make Zhou Yuan feel that her age was on par with that woman but when considering she was already a grandmother, Zhou Yuan felt he still had to respect him.
Apart from age, Zhou Yuan respected Feiyu because she helped him a lot, especially regarding martial arts. Indirectly Yun Feiyu was a teacher to Zhou Yuan.
"Auntie, it's early afternoon how about we go home."
"Ah yes, I forgot that Xiaxia has cooked a lot today, she said she wanted to entertain you home and serve you some special food."
Zhou Yuan nodded, she was also already unlike the cuisine of the girl, among her three girls Linxia was the most skilled when it came to cooking.
"Auntie, how about we get there by flying, it's to train my flying so that it can be faster."
Yun Feiyu did not mind, he was the one who first shot into the air. Zhou Yuan briefly looked at his training ground once more before catching up with Feiyu.
***
Even though Zhou Yuan could already fly but of course his flying speed could not be compared to Feiyu who was more expert than him.
"You've been here a long time!?"
The one who greeted Zhou Yuan the first time when he arrived at Bailian's house was Jiang Yifei, the girl folded her hands on her chest with the tip of her foot tapped on the ground, she looked at Zhou Yuan with annoyance.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. "Sorry, I stopped by somewhere first..."
"Reason! Hmphh!" Yifei snorted in annoyance.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly before stroking the head of the girl so as not to get too angry at her. Zhou Yuan then realized something when he saw the face of Yifei who was already dressed up.
"Fei'er, you look beautiful this afternoon." Zhou Yuan was stunned to see Jiang Yifei's beauty.
Yifei's age was about the same as Zhou Yuan's, only a few months apart, with Zhou Yuan younger than him. At an increasing age, Yifei's beautiful face is increasingly radiated with the beauty of an alluring young adult girl.
Yifei's face suddenly turned red, and he was glad that Zhou Yuan noticed his makeup and praised him. "I purposely gave this to you because I wanted to welcome you, you should know that."
Yun Feiyu who watched the two just chuckle followed by a headband, Yun Feiyu did not want to disturb their togetherness so first walked into the house.
Zhou Yuan's relationship with his three girls is arguably already at a more serious level. Neither the three nor Zhou Yuan had already expressed their feelings to each other.
When Zhou Yuan practiced at the lake, he occasionally visited Bailian's house to meet them. During these three years he often spent time with the three so as to make the relationship closer.
Zhou Yuan smiled gently at Jiang Yifei's mannerisms, of course he understood about the girl's feelings for him.
It was not long before Linxia and Xiao Rou came after hearing Zhou Yuan's news back. The faces of the two looked delighted at Zhou Yuan's arrival and immediately hugged him.
"You waiting for me?"
"Of course, we've been waiting for you since." Linxia who replied while smiling sweetly at Zhou Yuan. "I've cooked a lot for you today, you must love."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, he then took out one golden-colored apple in his spatial ring before giving it to Xiao Rou, among his three girls, Xiao Rou apparently really liked the golden apple because it was sweet so Zhou Yuan took the time to pluck the apple when he left.
"Thank you, Yuan gege." Xiao Rou received the golden apple with a feeling of pleasure.
"Where for me?" Yifei suddenly stretched out his two hands, asking for the golden apple as well.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head while smiling awkwardly, "Sorry, I only have one."
"What?!" Yifei was startled before putting on a pouting expression again.
"Later I'll bring a lot for you," Zhou Yuan stroked the top of Yifei's head, he said, indeed, among them, Yifei is the most chatty in contrast to Linxia who is always mature or Xiao Rou who does not behave much and tends to be quiet.
Like Zhou Yuan, during their nearly three years here many things changed including the martial progress of his three girls who had progressed to a shocking level.
Xiao Rou had grown into a sweet girl as well as Linxia who had always looked graceful in her white dress.
