Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 15 — Feelings of Love
Xiao Rou then asked him something more about what his heart felt when he was with Zhou Yuan, he was confused and somehow his heart was always pounding when he was close to the young man.
The girl thought that she might be sick and that this was related to Zhou Yuan.
"Maybe it's a love feeling..." Zhou Yuan answered awkwardly. He had not expected Xiao Rou to ask such a sensitive matter to him.
"Love? What'sthat?"
Zhou Yuan scratched his ear, he did not understand how Xiao Rou so did not understand his own emotional feelings or maybe because the girl had only felt the feeling of love for the first time.
"Ehm, so look... That love when Miss Xiao likes a man is more than just a friend, it is difficult to explain the feeling of love with words but for sure Miss Xiao will feel good when she sees him, always thinking about him every time, love will make Miss Xiao always want to meet and want to be with her at all times..."
Zhou Yuan had no experience with romance in his first life despite being forty years old mentally, but as a mentally mature person he at least understood the feeling of love in general.
Zhou Yuan saw that the girl was still a little clueless about the explanation but Zhou Yuan was unwilling to explain it any further.
"Miss Xiao you better ask your Grandfather this, he'll understand love better than I do."
Zhou Yuan was sure that when the time came for the girl to understand the word love, she would probably be ashamed and regret having asked him that.
When the situation was suddenly awkward, it was fortunate that a servant came to both of them.
"Young Master, sorry to interrupt earlier... The Family Head had already returned home from the trip and was now calling the Young Master to face."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, he was going to go there. Zhou Yuan then said goodbye to Xiao Rou.
"Miss Xiao, we'll see you tomorrow again."
"Good Gu-... I mean Brother Yuan."
Zhou Yuan smiled before turning around and waving his hand.
Xiao Rou looked at Zhou Yuan's body getting further away before it finally disappeared, Xiao Rou held onto his chest, feeling his heart was now pounding faster.
"Love huh?"
Subconsciously a smile was engraved on Xiao Rou's lips, although the girl did not understand the explanation of the meaning of love but Zhou Yuan's earlier words were indeed true, he always felt happy when he saw Zhou Yuan and thought about it at all times. Xiao Rou even secretly waited for Zhou Yuan every morning.
***
Zhou Yuan paid his respects in front of Zhou Bing's throne, there were only the two of them present.
Zhou Yuan had heard that his grandfather had been going somewhere for the past two months, so the leadership had been handed over to his father for some time.
"Chairman, Yuan saluted you..." Zhou Yuan fused his hands together in a kneeling position.
"Yuan'er already Grandpa said you don't need to be formal like that. Here's what Grandpa wants to give you..." Zhou Bing smiled gently.
Zhou Yuan nodded then walked closer to his grandfather, looking as if Zhou Bing was trying to hide something.
"Yuan'er, how strong is your level of being a swordsman now?"
"My strength hasn't increased since I opened the dantian gate, Grandfather, I'm still at the level of a Bronze Realm Stage 1 swordsman."
"Hm, you're right and of course because Grandpa has never given you any resources..." Zhou Bing chuckled slightly before then taking out a sizable leather pouch under his cloak and then giving it to his grandson "Try to open this, maybe you'll like it?"
"Grandfather, here..."
Zhou Yuan was speechless when he saw that the leather pouch contained a valuable resource pill for his martial enhancement.
"Grandfather, is this all for me?" Zhou Yuan asked with a slight stammer.
"Who else do you think this is for." Zhou Bing pinched Zhou Yuan's cheek in dismay.
Zhou Yuan smiled widely, he had not expected to be given this much resources for free, with his understanding in the first life it was not difficult for him to break through to the next level with this much pill.
Zhou Yuan did not forget to thank Zhou Bing, immediately he ran small and went straight to his house.
Zhou Bing who saw the behavior of his grandson laughed, he deliberately bought a lot of pills for his grandson.
Even if it was very expensive and drained his money bag it would be comparable when Zhou Yuan grew into a powerful swordsman.
"If Yuan'er grows up well, perhaps he will become a world-renowned martial figure..." Zhou Bing smiled, he felt proud of the birth of Zhou Yuan in his family.
On the other hand, the first thing Zhou Yuan did was to look at the kind of pills his grandfather had given him, not only were they very abundant in number but each pill his grandfather had given him was a high-quality pill.
Zhou Yuan was sure to buy pills this much requiring no small amount of money.
"Golden Eye Pill, Snow Dew Pill, they are useful for accelerating the formation of my inner power circle..." Zhou Yuan was very enthusiastic when he got to know some of those pills.
Zhou Yuan most needed pills for the increase in his amount of profound strength, however, physical forging required a tremendous amount of manpower in the process.
After sorting out and choosing, Zhou Yuan started taking the pills into his body one by one before trying to purify them.
Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed with an extremely high concentration, each pill taking several hours to refine.
It took at least two hours for Zhou Yuan's body to absorb the pills' properties, not only did it help the formation of internal energy, but there were some pills that were useful for other physical organs.
'I didn't expect this to be a little easier...' Zhou Yuan smiled widely.
As he recalled, the formation of deep power was quite difficult to do but now it was precisely Zhou Yuan who was able to do it in one try.
Zhou Yuan thought this was due to his Sky King Body.
Zhou Yuan then swallowed the other pills before starting to concentrate again, that night Zhou Yuan spent his time meditating.
A few weeks after being given the resources, Zhou Yuan finally chose to break through to the next level.
"It... Why?!"
Zhou Yuan suddenly felt an odd sensation after breaking through, he should have been at the level of the Bronze Realm Stage 2 swordsman but he felt it was different.
When the intrusion occurred precisely Zhou Yuan's strength was stronger than just ordinary Bronze Realm Stage 2 warriors, precisely his strength had jumped to the swordsman level that was in the Bronze Realm Stage 6.
"It... Why did I go straight up to Stage 6? Shouldn't I have ascended to Stage 2?" Zhou Yuan could not help his shock.
One thing that came to his mind was that due to his special body, it seemed that the energy in Yin made Zhou Yuan a special warrior figure as well.
