Otherworldly-Cultivator

501  Huo Rui's Jealousy

"That's not a problem, right?" Chen Li asked casually.

"Indeed, that's not a problem." Huo Rui nodded in agreement with that. "However, the way you train will make people jealous of you; even I myself am jealous of you. Over the past years, I have always focused on my cultivation, swordsmanship, and alchemy. Unfortunately, I was always overwhelmed by them, and I even thought about giving up on alchemy."

"Their jealousy is none of my business, right? I never interfere in their personal matters, so they don't need to interfere in mine." Huo Rui frowned after hearing that, and Chen Li spoke to her again. "As for you, you are quite an experienced cultivator, so you should know your own limits. That's why you don't need to push yourself, and you might think about letting go of one of them."

Huo Rui let out a heavy sigh. "It's not that I don't like alchemy, but I feel that swordsmanship is more interesting. However, I can't stop practicing alchemy, especially since my mother always dreamed of becoming an expert alchemist, but she couldn't do it, so she wants me to be one."

"Your mother is too selfish." Chen Li commented while shaking his head, making the Huo Sisters a little angry. "You're not wrong if you want to please your mother, but it was her dream to become an alchemist, not yours. Moreover, it's useless if you do something you never enjoy, and you'll never be able to achieve the highest level in alchemy if you do it under duress."

Huo Qingya immediately spoke to her little sister. "I think his words are right, Rui. What if you talk to our mother? She will indeed be angry if you want to stop learning alchemy, but I can see that you are not enthusiastic about it, and you are always stressed about dividing your time."

"En." Huo Rui nodded to her. "I will listen to you, Big Sis. I will talk to our mother, but I'm not sure if she will be willing to listen to me."

"It's okay." Huo Qingya then embraced her shoulder. "At least, you can talk to her first, and I will also help you."

"En." Huo Rui simply nodded at her.

"Did you find what you were looking for, brother?"

They turned to Yang Chen, and Huo Rui frowned upon seeing him holding hands with Cai Yan, but she was also amazed by his change. 'So that girl is his new lover? She's pretty, but she's too weak, and I can defeat her in a move.'

Noticing her little sister's expression, Huo Qingya could only shake her head and inwardly mutter. 'This is really bad! Rui said that she had forgotten her feelings for Yang Hao, but her expression clearly showed that she was jealous of that girl.'

Zi Yao naturally noticed Huo Rui's reaction, and she massaged her forehead. 'What will happen between them? I know that Rui has always liked Hao'er, and she broke off their engagement because of him, especially since he was too lazy.'

Cai Yue already knew that Huo Rui was Yang Hao's former fiancee, and she could see the jealousy in her eyes, so she moved to Chen Li's side. 'Li'er, this girl is jealous of Yan'er; I'm afraid that she will attack my daughter.'

'You don't need to worry about Huo Rui, and I will protect Yan'er.' Chen Li replied as he held Cai Yue's hand.

Huo Qingya was surprised to see them like that, especially since Cai Yue was clearly much older than them, but they were intimate, like a lover. 'Tch! This guy is a crocodile! I know that he is a dual cultivator, but he shouldn't have a relationship with such an old woman.'

Meanwhile, Yang Huo himself was shocked to see Huo Rui's presence, but he then smiled and hugged Cai Yan's waist, surprising her.

However, Cai Yan was not a stupid woman, and she instantly realized the reason Yang Huo was hugging her. 'Which of the two women is your ex-fiancee?'

'The woman wearing the white and red dress is my ex-fiancé, Huo Rui. As for the other woman, dia adalah her big sister, Huo Qingya' Yang Huo replied as he smiled strangely. 'Yan'er-'

'You don't need to explain it to me.' Cai Yan interrupted Yang Huo. 'Even though we haven't been together that long, I know you well enough now, so I know that you don't like Huo Rui.'

Yang Huo let out a sigh of relief after he heard that, and he brought Cai Yan over to them before greeting the two women. "Long time no see, Rui and Big Sis Qingya." contemporary romance

Unlike Huo Rui, who looked away to the side and didn't want to talk to him, Huo Qingya nodded and spoke to him. "En, long time no see, Hao'er. I've heard from my father about your training in the southern region, but I initially didn't believe that you, who were so lazy, were willing to train. However, I've witnessed your changes now, and you've changed a lot in just three months. Are you willing to do it because of this girl?"

"Haha." Yang Hao laughed awkwardly as he glanced at Huo Rui. "You're right, Big Sis Qingya. I met Cai Yan three months ago, and I fell in love with her at first sight, so I tried to change in order to win her heart."

Huo Rui's expression became even uglier after hearing that, and she kept glancing at Cai Yan with narrowed eyes, but she wasn't deterred by her attitude.

"Does that mean you two are officially lovers now?" Huo Qingya asked in a teasing tone.

Before he could answer her question, Cai Yan had answered Huo Qingya first. "Yes, I like Yang Hao, and we are lovers now."

Not only Yang Huo was surprised to hear that, but Zi Yao and Cai Yue were also surprised to hear Cai Yan's confession, especially since she previously told them that she had not fully accepted him.

However, both senior women realized that Cai Yan deliberately said that because of Huo Rui's presence, and she wanted to show her stance to her.

Meanwhile, Chen Li knew Cai Yan quite well, so he was not surprised by her confession.

"I see." Huo Qingya nodded in understanding, and she was also amazed by Cai Yan's boldness. "If that's the case, I have to congratulate you both, and I hope your relationship will get better in the future."

"That's for sure." Cai Yan replied as she smiled. "Yang Hao is the first man in my life, and he will be the last man in my life."

Hearing that, Yang Hao's smile bloomed, and he hugged Cai Yan tighter; even Zi Yao was satisfied after hearing that.

"Tch!" Huo Rui gritted her teeth and flew away without saying goodbye to them.

Huo Qingya shook her head at her little sister's behavior. "Then, I-"

"Wait a minute, Miss Qingya." Huo Qingya turned to Chen Li with a raised eyebrow. "Can we talk alone? I want to ask you about something, and I won't talk for too long, so I hope you can spare a little of your time for me."

Huo Qingya felt hesitant about fulfilling Chen Li's request, especially since she found it increasingly difficult to suppress those strange feelings, but she eventually agreed to his request. "All right, we can talk somewhere else."

"Shall we go now?" Chen Li asked as he extended his hand to Huo Qingya, confusing her. "I want to take you somewhere else, and it will be faster if I use my ability."

Upon hearing that, Huo Qingya grabbed his hand, but she was shocked once Chen Li took her away through the void tunnel.

"Do you think Brother Chen is interested in Big Sis Qingya?" Yang Hao asked Cai Yan.

"I don't know." Cai Yan shook her head. "Even though Chen Li has many wives now, I know that he wouldn't just fall in love with a woman he just met."

Suddenly, Zi Yao stood up and took Cai Yan's hand. "Are you really willing to accept my son, Yan'er? Or are you saying that just to make Rui jealous?"

"Aunt Zi, I admit that I said that to make Huo Rui jealous." Cai Yan then turned to Yang Hao. "Even so, I am serious about my words, and I am willing to accept him."

"Really?" Yang Hao put on a look of disbelief.

"Yes." Cai Yan nodded to him with a smile. "Are you satisfied now?"

"Haha!" Yang Huo laughed out loud and grabbed Cai Yan's waist, and he then lifted her up high. "Hahah! I'm so satisfied! You're finally willing to accept me!"

"Hey, put me down!" Cai Yan said that with a bashful look, especially since Zi Yao and Cai Yue were around them.

However, Yang Hao didn't listen to her words and sat Cai Yan on his shoulders, and he immediately dashed towards the main building, causing her to sigh helplessly. "Let's go! I have to tell my grandfather this news!"

Their mother laughed at seeing them like that, and Zi Yao grabbed Cai Yue's hand. "It seems we will be in-laws soon, Sister Yue."

"Yes." Cai Yue nodded with a relieved smile, and Zi Yao pulled her to follow their children.

Huo Qingya was in shock as soon as they arrived at the hill where Long Lianxin lived, so she turned to Chen Li and looked at him seriously.

Chen Li just smiled and asked her. "What is your relationship with Long Lianxin, Miss Qingya?
