Hearing her say this, Hao Ren stopped and turned around to face her.
Whether Su Han was cold-tempered or odd, as long as she could teach him something valuable, it would be worth cultivating under her.
The so-called Heaven Rank expert who was also a special inspector of the Dragon Clan should possess many precious treasures and magical cultivation techniques.
Hao Ren's thoughts were quite clear. No matter what, whether for himself or for the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan, it would be beneficial to maintain good relations with Su Han.
Indeed, Su Han beckoned him over, "Come here, I'll teach you a set of mantras."
Hao Ren took several steps towards her and faced her.
Su Han used her finger, slender as green shoots, to point at Hao Ren's forehead, planting a thought in his mind. Three simple mantras were instantly stored in Hao Ren's memory.
"How do I use them" Hao Ren asked.
"These mantras are meant to be used together with an item. The items haven't been given to you yet." Su Han conjured two silver bracelets out of her palm, smiling faintly at Hao Ren, "Wear them."
Hao Ren warily watched the two silver bracelets in Su Han's delicate and jade-like palms but did not rashly take them. The necklace Su Han had given him last time was still around his neck, stubbornly refusing to be removed.
If Su Han puts two more bangles on him next time, along with the three on his hands and neck, wouldn't that make a pentacle With Su Han's mental command, he would be completely bound and obediently fall to the ground
Su Han knew what Hao Ren was worried about. She smiled faintly again, "Don’t worry, these two bangles can be taken off."
Her smile was light yet sweet, like a blooming flower in spring. Yet, it was precisely this that made Hao Ren feel that Su Han's smile had an enticing flavor to it.
"Waffling!" Su Han put away her smile and with the snap of her fingers, two silver bangles were slipped onto each of Hao Ren’s wrists.
At the same time, Hao Ren felt as if two mountains were pressing down on his arms, not only making them nearly break but also almost causing him to lose balance and fall over.
"The mantra I gave you earlier is for removing these bangles. But it can be used once every day for just one hour—that’s two hours in total. Otherwise, the necklace around your neck will tighten up and make you understand what true living death feels like." Su Han crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Hao Ren’s pained and remorseful face as she said this calmly.
How treacherous... How treacherous... Hao Ren cursed her a hundred times in his heart, regretting his greediness for not leaving decisively when he could have. He had also hoped that she would teach him some extraordinary martial arts techniques.
"I’ve heard about your fight too. I put these on you partly to restrain your physical capabilities through the Mount Tai bangles to prevent accidental injuries, and partly to help you exercise your strength and better control your body." Su Han continued.
"Then... Thank you, Su Han," Hao Ren gritted his teeth as he said. It wasn’t that he wanted to express hatred towards Su Han but rather that it was difficult for him to even raise a hand now, let alone speak clearly.
"I’ll add one more thing: These bangles can sense your emotions. The worse your mood is, the heavier they become; if you’re in a good mood, they won’t be as heavy." Su Han stood beside Hao Ren and looked at him with calm eyes while saying this.
“Not so heavy… how much then…” Hao Ren struggled to ask.
"If your mood is good, each of these bangles would only weigh about fifty pounds," Su Han said casually.
"50 catties..." Hao Ren was almost overwhelmed.
He walked out of Su Han's office step by step, calming himself down as he went downstairs: "It'll be fine, Su Han means well...
The bracelet on his hand became lighter and lighter as if it had gradually lost weight, making the descent less strenuous.
Still, both of his arms felt like they were carrying two heavy bags of rice. Fortunately, thanks to practicing up to the second level of the Spirit Concentration Technique, his physical condition had improved significantly; otherwise, he would have collapsed on the floor long ago.
If someone could still walk briskly while carrying two 100-pound bags of rice, that person must be a real powerhouse!
Su Han is a good person... Su Han is a good person... Hao Ren tried to convince himself while maintaining a cheerful mood as he went to pick up Zhao Yanzi from school.
As usual, when he arrived at Zhao Yanzi's house, Zhao Hongyu was cooking. However, unlike before, this time her grandmother was also helping in the kitchen.
The two of them chatted and cooked together as if they were close friends who had known each other for years.
Seeing how well his grandmother got along with Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren felt relieved. After all, his parents often worked overtime or even traveled abroad; he only came home on weekends to attend school, while Uncle Wang was not good at looking after people and mostly kept silent except when cooking for his grandmother and taking care of her flowers. Therefore, his grandmother lived alone.
For someone of her age, having Zhao Hongyu as a close friend who could chat with her and cook together or call each other from time to time would definitely be a good thing.
The more amicable the atmosphere between them, the lighter Hao Ren felt the bracelet on his wrist become.
He pushed open the kitchen door and greeted them, "Auntie, Grandma, I'm here."
"Hehe, you're here. I knew you'd be coming soon, so I left the outside door open."
Zhao Hongyu smiled gently, then suddenly noticed the silver bracelet on Hao Ren's wrist. "Another trinket from Su Han"
What do you mean 'trinket' Is this even a good thing...Hao Ren silently grumbled in his heart.
The moment he felt worse, the weight of the bracelet instantly increased, almost making Hao Ren lose his balance. He hurriedly chanted to himself: "Su Han is a good person, Su Han is a good person..."
"Who's Su Han" Grandma curiously asked when she heard Zhao Hongyu mention a woman's name.
“Oh, he’s one of my friends who teaches at Donghai University. He usually looks after Ah Ren very well,” Zhao Hongyu explained to her mother-in-law.
"Ah Ren surely has someone important helping him," Grandma smiled as she looked at her grandson.
“Yes, Su Han treats him well, not only guiding his studies but also frequently sending handmade trinkets for Ah Ren,” Zhao Hongyu said.
This made Hao Ren break into a sweat: while others would go to great lengths just to get something from Su Han and still can’t, I’m scared to death of receiving anything else she makes.
Grandma looked at the bracelet on Hao Ren's wrist. “Yes, it seems handmade and is very pretty. Skillful hands have skillful minds; this Miss Su must also be quite beautiful.”
Zhao Hongyu nodded with a smile and then told Hao Ren, "Aizi has returned from school and is upstairs doing her homework. You should go up to help her."
“Mm, okay,” Hao Ren turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
"What do you think about our Aizi" As Hao Ren clomped up the stairs, Zhao Hongyu continued chatting with Grandma while chopping vegetables.series of waves crashed from the sea surface onto the seabed."Eastern Sea Dragon Palace!
