Secrets in Three Lifetimes of Love

Tiger Fiend Stockade

Wang Yue paced back and forth in a basement, wondering about Zhou Hao's purpose for being there.

"Could it be for my Fire Core Flower?" he muttered to himself.

Beneath this basement lay a firestone mine, and the firestone mine had nurtured a Fire Core Flower, which was his hope of returning to his peak.

It was precisely because he had discovered the Fire Core Flower in this location that he had built a stockade here to cover his tracks, waiting for the Fire Core Flower to mature.

"Could he really be after the Fire Core Flower?" Wang Yue's unease grew the more he thought about it. However, Zhou Hao truly had no ulterior motive for coming here; this was merely Wang Yue's own paranoia stemming from his excessive anxiety about the Fire Core Flower.

"He probably wouldn't," Wang Yue shook his head again. He had set up concealment formations below, hiding the Fire Core Flower's aura. No one should be able to find it.

Furthermore, if someone had found it, they would have come looking directly, not gone to Shilpo Mountain Stronghold.

But what if Zhou Hao sensed it through some special method? Perhaps he was waiting for the Fire Core Flower to mature before making a move.

"Ah..." Wang Yue frantically scratched his head. He desperately wanted to believe Zhou Hao had no purpose and that no one would discover the Fire Core Flower, but he couldn't help but suspect Zhou Hao's intentions for coming here.

Most importantly, Zhou Hao was definitely in the Spiritual Consciousness Realm. He himself had once been in the Spiritual Consciousness Realm and couldn't be mistaken. That's why he had wanted to test Zhou Hao when he saw him, but unfortunately, Zhou Hao had ignored him.

Despite appearing calm and composed, chatting and laughing at the time, he was actually terrified, always feeling that Zhou Hao was problematic.

Now that he had returned to the stockade, he couldn't focus on his cultivation and had been constantly thinking about Zhou Hao's purpose.

The problem was that Zhou Hao genuinely had no purpose, but Wang Yue just wouldn't believe it. Because he was too anxious about the Fire Core Flower, he suffered from severe paranoid delusions.

Wang Yue couldn't stand it any longer and said firmly, "I still need to test him! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

He decided to go to Shilpo Mountain Stronghold again. Of course, he had to prepare a gift first, as he was paying a visit! Sincerity was necessary.

Zhou Hao watched as the little piglet finally let down its guard. He carried it to a more spacious area in the room and then injected Metamorphosis Power into its body, starting to circulate and cleanse it within.

"Oink oink~"

The little piglet let out a comfortable grunt and rolled over contentedly, exposing its belly.

Zhou Hao was also a bit surprised. It was his first time using Metamorphosis Power on a Spirit Beast, and he hadn't expected it to be comfortable.

He had always thought that metamorphosis would be painful, like when he took that Body-Reforming Pill, but it seemed that the effect of Metamorphosis Power was gentle. He wondered what the results would be.

This allowed Zhou Hao to confidently and slowly increase the output of Metamorphosis Power. The little piglet showed no problems and even fell asleep, letting out faint snores.

Afterward, Zhou Hao continued to continuously supply Metamorphosis Power to the little piglet.

Ice and Snow Divine Realm

After finishing her official duties, Murong took out the bag of sunflower seeds Zhou Hao had given her, opened it, and grabbed a handful. Then, she searched her Storage Ring.

She suddenly paused, looked up sharply, and rubbed her temples with a wry smile. "Did my book get mixed up with Zhou Hao's books?"

She recalled carefully and realized she seemed to have put "Three Lifetimes of Love" inside.

"Slap~"

"Foolish." Murong slapped her forehead. The thought of Zhou Hao knowing she read that kind of book made her feel terrible.

She felt she needed some relationship advice, so she read that kind of book to supplement her experience. Who knew it was quite interesting, and she kept reading it slowly.

Most importantly, she had even taken notes in it. Whenever she saw a romantic scene she found particularly good, she would record it along with her own thoughts.

She wondered if Zhou Hao would see it. That would be truly embarrassing, but Zhou Hao probably wouldn't, right? After all, she had written it with divine power, and it required divine power to activate.

Regardless, at this moment, Murong just wanted to be teleported to Zhou Hao's side immediately to retrieve her book, but time did not permit her to do so.

Murong crunched a sunflower seed fiercely, lamenting her carelessness.

Just then, someone came to see her, a woman wearing a straw hat.

"Your Majesty, do you need me for something?" Tian Lingling asked as she knelt on one knee and bowed.

Murong waved her hand. "Rise!"

Then, she lightly flicked her jade hand, sending a sunflower seed flying in front of Tian Lingling, and asked, "Lingling, can you cultivate this plant?"

Tian Lingling glanced at it casually and immediately nodded. "Yes."

She was responsible for the cultivation of divine medicines in the Ice and Snow Divine Realm. Growing an ordinary sunflower was incredibly simple; she could even upgrade the sunflower seeds.

Murong nodded. "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Plant a few acres for me."

"Yes." Tian Lingling nodded lightly, paused, and then asked, "Do you need them improved, or just as they are?"

Murong thought for a moment and replied, "Improve them. But not too much, Mysterious Grade Low Rank is fine."

"Okay, I understand." Tian Lingling accepted the order.

"Do you eat sunflower seeds?" Murong asked abruptly.

Tian Lingling paused for a moment, then quickly reacted and hesitated before nodding, softly uttering a single word.

"Yes."

She saw Murong eating them with great enjoyment, so she wanted to try as well.

Murong waved a hand, and a handful of sunflower seeds flew into Tian Lingling's hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Tian Lingling bowed and said.

Murong waved her hand, "You may go!"

Afterward, Tian Lingling returned holding a handful of sunflower seeds.

Murong sighed softly. After thinking for a moment, she decided she should go to the library again to find a book about romance!

"It doesn't seem like there's any change," Zhou Hao was still channeling Metamorphosis Power into the little piglet.

Three to four hours had passed, and he still hadn't seen any change in the little piglet.

"Dad, did you perhaps cultivate a fake technique?" Zhou Yuanbao also looked at the little piglet with a confused expression.

The biggest change in the little piglet from the beginning until now was that it slept more comfortably.

Zhou Hao shook his head, "No, Murong said this cultivation technique is good, so it must be useful."

Although he said that, he was actually quite panicked. If he had really cultivated a fake technique, wouldn't he have to abandon his cultivation and start over?

He didn't want that. It had taken him over half a month to cultivate to this point, and he didn't want to spend another half a month re-cultivating.

If others knew his thoughts, they would probably be extremely envious and jealous. Going from an ordinary person to the Spiritual Consciousness Fifth Stage in just over half a month – was this a cultivation speed that a human should have?

Finally, Zhou Hao squeezed out all the Metamorphosis Power in his body, but he still couldn't make the little piglet change.

Zhou Hao stopped channeling Metamorphosis Power. Even if he wanted to, he had no more.

He would cultivate first to recover his Metamorphosis Power and then see if the little piglet had any changes tomorrow. After all, it was possible that the effect of Metamorphosis Power was just slow.

Just as he was immersed in cultivation, Ma Hongyun came to knock on his door, saying that Wang Yue had come again, and he had brought gifts.

Zhou Hao ignored him and had Ma Hongyun tell Wang Yue, "They really aren't close."

When Wang Yue learned that Zhou Hao wouldn't see him, he sighed helplessly. However, he still learned some information about Zhou Hao from the villagers before he left Shilpo Mountain Stronghold.
